ok so i was talking to @to-be-a-dreamer @tarantulas4davey and @carpe-diem-since-1899 about racetrack things the other day and i just thought i would dump some of those thoughts here bc i am So invested in this weird little guy
anyway i just ,, i have a lot of feelings abt jack passing the newsies onto racer once he ages out.
i feel like. charlie is the next choice, but charlie in my eyes is the same age as- if not older than- jack; if jack hadn’t been the leader of the newsboys, it definitely would have been charlie, but jack is the one who took the reins. (this age hc is mostly because of west endsies ngl.) anyway! moving on
jack and charlie have always been a team. charlie is definitely jack’s second in terms of always being there, but race is his second in terms of business- it only makes sense for race to take over when jack is gone, and i just,, i love the concept of race either not really wanting that or not really knowing how to handle that. i think, at his core, race is trying to hold onto whatever youth he has left. its why he’s always cracking jokes, despite how jaded and angry he is under the surface. he pretends not to care or else he’ll crack under the pressure, and when he cracks, it’s angry. it’s mean. his bark is as bad as his bite. so he puts on this front- this childish, snarky, comedic relief front- and he’s terrified of the implications of Being The Leader because he feels like he’ll no longer have that front to hold onto or hide behind. and it takes him a long time, i think, to realize that he doesn’t have to be exactly who Jack was- he can lead the newsboys how he sees fit, he doesn’t need to be a carbon copy of jack, because they’re fundamentally so different. and i think that is just very fun
but more on the anger, because i think it’s an interesting take that is very much represented in West Endsies- as @roideny and @jack-kellys have pointed out before:
i’m interested in the other newsies- especially albert, finch, and maybe spot- seeing that sadness and strain and anger that seems to be taking it’s place as his dominant trait. yeah. bc i think,, i think race is angry at his core, like i said. angry at his position in all of this. angry that jack left, that charlie followed, that davey was never staying in the first place, that spot still thinks of him as a kid instead of a new leader, that other burrough leaders don’t take him seriously because they know him as the jokester. angry that these kids are his kids now, and angry that his kids are still starving, still walking holes in their shoes, still shivering at night and still dying of sickness when the cold weather hits too hard. i want this race to be fucking pissed and i want everyone else to be caught off guard by it.
because, let’s be real, jack wasn’t the roughest leader. he was strong, and dependable, and not afraid to put kids in their place, but he’s still nurturing and parental. after years of being used to that, i think the newsies would struggle with Race for a while, especially as race tries to figure out his leadership style, and i think a lot of that would manifest in this anger that has been bubbling up under the surface for ages- the anger he never lets anyone see because he doesn’t want that.
race has spent anywhere from 5 to 10 years- depending on when you headcanon him to join the newsies- being the funny guy, the clown, the joker; if he’s going to earn respect, he’s going to have to take it from a few kids. lashing out and being brash- all for the sake of keeping everyone safe, of course- but he’s such a different leader than jack, and i think it would be SO fun to explore that more in post-canon works.
i feel like this post is a little disjointed and i may not be explaining things correctly, plus i haven’t actually seen west endsies yet! a lot of this is based on convos with the besties and i am just having brainrot. besties, feel free to jump in with any additions, and anyone reading this: feel free to send asks or talk in the tags <33

Video Games
pairing: leon kennedy x fem!reader
cw: nsfw (18+), smut, oral (f receiving)
summary: you're playing video games when leon feels a little needy
word count: 1.9k
a/n: hi everyone, i'm back with another piece. thank you so so much to everyone who supported my last post (especially if you reblogged and/or left a comment, hugging you through the screen rn). And if you followed me, hi! happy to have you here :) it means a lot to me, and i hope people find some enjoyment in this post as well. this post has nothing to do with the song video games, but i love lana and wanted to use that picture so idgaf. also, all the games mentioned are ones i really loved when i was younger. i'd love to hear some you guys like if you want to share. again, feedback, likes, follows, and reblogs are appreciated! <3
You were so excited when your parents called you and told you they were bringing by your old Playstation 2 today. They were cleaning out the garage and found the dusty, old box that contained the system and all your favorite games from when you were young. Leon was sitting on the couch, watching you wander around as you spoke into the phone. He had returned from a difficult mission recently and your joyful presence alone made everything seem brighter. He smiled at the ways your eyes lit up when you laughed and recalled old memories. He’d gently reach out and stroke your hip when you’d walk past the sofa, lost in your conversation.
About an hour later, you were rushing out the front door to retrieve your box of nostalgia. Leon trailed behind with his eyes full of love for you. He takes the box of stuff as you briefly talk to your mom and thank her for making the stop. He carries the box back into the house for you. It wasn’t that heavy. You definitely could have done it yourself, but he couldn’t get enough of how that sweet smile would spread across your face when you said thank you and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.
The two of you set up the console together in your living room. His strong arms hold the tv at an awkward angle as you snake behind it to plug in the cords in all the different ports. His eyes can’t help but run along your body. He can’t help but notice how your shorts ride up as you bend over or how your back arches while you strain to reach the back of the screen. He’s snapped out of his lustful daze when he hears you say “Got it!” and pull back from behind the tv. He puts the monitor back in place and you hug him from behind, pressing soft kisses to his back while thanking him again for his help.
“It’s nothing, Baby,” he says softly, turning to face you and kissing the top of your head.
You smile up at him before eagerly pulling him to sit on the couch with you. You rifle through your box of old games, pulling out your beaten-up copies of Sly Cooper and Silent Hill. Your eyes sparkle with excitement as you gush to him about your favorite parts and all the fun you used to have playing them with your friends. His heart aches with the love he feels just from hearing you speak with such passion.
“Why don’t you show me some?” he suggests as you continue looking through the box on your lap.
“You want to watch me play video games?” you ask as if it’s the nicest thing you’ve ever heard. “Are you sure? I don’t want you to be bored.”
He laughs slightly like even the idea of being bored while spending time with you was ridiculous. “C’mon, you’re all excited over this stuff, and you’re not gonna play?” he asks, “I’ll be fine. Maybe you can teach me your tricks.”
“Yeah, I’m a real pro,” you joke sarcastically, but your smile remains genuine. You decide on playing Tomb Raider and hop up to put the game in. Again, Leon can’t help how his eyes are drawn to the fabric of your bottoms tightening around your ass as you squat to insert the game. You return to your seat and get comfy against his side with his arms around your shoulder.
You start playing, your smile widening as you hear the familiar music and begin remembering the controls like the last time you played was only yesterday. Leon watches the screen as much as he can, but his real focus is on you. The way your fingers frantically mash at the buttons while fighting an enemy, how you tense and press against him when you think you’re going to die, your half-assed justifications for mistakes you make, blaming the age of the controllers. He loved you so much that his limbs nearly trembled with want for you. Everything about you drove him wild. You smelled so good and your body was so warm nestled against his.
He keeps watching you, and it’s becoming overwhelming, his desire for you. He leans his head down, brushing your hair away, and starts gently kissing the open expanse of your neck. You bite your lip as a knowing smirk rises on your face.
“I knew you’d get bored,” you tease, tilting your head a little to give him more room. He takes the invitation and moves his lips with more intent.
“I’m not bored. I just need to feel you,” he defends between kisses, “You keep playing.” He adjusts on the couch so he’s lower and has a better angle on your neck. His arm that isn’t around you caresses your stomach slowly.
You try to focus on your game, but it’s difficult when you have his hands and lips coasting over you, his hot breath on your neck. Your own breathing hitches when his hand on your stomach slides up to fondle your tits. Your fingers start feeling useless on the controller, fumbling between buttons as you try to continue playing. His teeth scrape along your neck. It’s the last thing you can take before you make too many mistakes and die. The menu comes up to reload the game and your head falls back against the cushion.
“Leon,” you whine playfully, “You’re making me die.”
“‘M Sorry, Baby,” he mumbles, “Just can’t get enough of you.” He continues kneading your breasts and showering your neck with kisses as you try to survive the level you’re playing. Heat spreads through your body and slick begins collecting between your thighs causing you to squirm a bit. Leon smirks against your skin, sensing the effect he has on you.
He kisses your neck a few more times before he moves his mouth down your arm while easing himself onto the floor. He presses a final tender kiss to your hand gripping the controller before settling on his knees between your legs. You know what’s coming, and it causes your cheeks to tint a soft red. The sight only excites Leon more. His fingers tuck beneath the waistband of your shorts and slip them down. He lifts your lush thighs to rest on his shoulders and pulls you closer so that you're slouching against the cushions.
“Leon, I’m gonna have to start all over again,” you say, your voice softer from your arousal. You try to seem focused, but your attention to the game is waning with each of his touches.
He works his mouth along the smooth skin of your inner thighs before dragging his nose along the cloth covering your center, inhaling you. The scent sends his blood rushing to his cock. He lays a kiss to the fabric as he hums in response. “I’ll make it up to you, Sweetheart. Promise.”
He hooks his finger around your panties and pulls them off. You feel his breath against your wet cunt, the sensation sending a chill through you. You take your lip between your teeth again while keeping your eyes on the television. In your peripheral vision, you can see him staring into you, gazing at you like you’re a work of art. He starts rubbing his thumb up and down your folds slowly, not with enough pressure to give you real pleasure, just the right amount to tease.
“You’re fucking soaked, Angel. Gotta have a taste,” he murmurs before swiping his tongue through your pussy. You let out a short moan at the feeling. Leon wraps his arms around your thighs, keeping you in place as he starts to make out with your cunt. His tongue flattening and dragging against your dripping core, lapping up every drop of you he can.
Your eyes roll back and your fingers spasm on the controller before you put it to the side and grab Leon’s hair. He groans as you tug him closer, his lips wrapping around your clit and sucking. You whimper and buck against his face. He knows all your attention is on him now. Knowing he made you feel so good that you had to focus on him had his pants feeling even tighter. He looks up at you, his eyes clouded with lust and your slick coating his lips.
“Taste so sweet, Baby,” he breathes, thumbing your clit as he speaks, “Could do this for hours if you let me. Have your pretty pussy cumming over and over.”
He buries his face back into your cunt and fucks his tongue into you. You gasp and writhe above him. Your head pushes back against the couch cushions. Your thighs start to squeeze around his head, and he loves it. He pushes even deeper, nose bumping your clit as he works. You whine and your hands fly up to cover your face as your cheeks feel hot.
He gives your thigh a quick pinch and pulls back. “No hiding, sweet girl. Wanna see and hear everything you give me.”
You slide your hands down and off of your face. Before you can even think of a response, his tongue is back to flicking against you. You moan a bit louder and your eyes flutter as the band of heat in your belly starts to tighten. Your thighs quiver, and Leon’s grip on you gets stronger as your hips try to shift.
Your chest heaves with your heavy breathing as your hands press into the couch cushions. His eyes are fixed on your face, savoring every sweet noise and expression. Your body shakes harder and you know the finish is near. You look down into his eyes, and the sight of his face buried between your thighs with that intense gaze trained on you almost makes you cum on the spot.
“Fuck, Leon. I’m gonna cum. Can’t hold on,” you whimper, your eyes squeezing shut as your voice breaks into moans.
“Look at me, Baby. Let me see those gorgeous eyes while you explode,” he says before working his tongue with even more dedication. You give him what he wants, looking into his eyes as you reach the peak. You cry out and claw at the couch cushions as you release. Your hips sputter against his face and your thighs clamp around his head. Your eyes stay locked on his, letting him see how he unravels you. You hear him groaning and feel his body rolling a bit as he devours you through your orgasm.
He keeps lapping at your folds as you come down, getting a final taste before he pulls away. He plants one last kiss on your clit before rising up and leaning down to kiss your lips sweetly. You kiss back and softly moan as you taste yourself on his lips. You grab his wrist as you pull back. “Need me to return the favor?’ you say and give him another kiss.
“No, Honey. I’m satisfied, trust me,” he hums and kisses back. You notice the dark spot forming on his pants and your blush returns. The thought that he could feel such pleasure simply from pleasuring you made your stomach flutter. He pulls back from your lips and strokes your bottom lip with his thumb, admiring your features. “I’m gonna change my pants, and then you can show me some more of your game. If you want to,” he says.
You glance back at the tv which had been displaying the reload menu for a while at this point. You give him that smile that he loved so much and nod.

Sleep Oil?
Ok so Sleep Prayer Oil (yes from sleep token)??
-olive oil for the vibes, I usually use grape seed as a carrier, but the vibes of olive oil are what I’m feeling for this.
-Pachouli (sleep aid, and also VERY sensual)
-Mugwort (for astral/dream work)
-Lemon Balm (love, dreamwork, healing)
-Lavender (sleep aid, but intense dreams)
-rosemary (creativity)
-peppermint essential oil (money/prosperity)
-Grapefruit essential oil (mental clarity)
Ok, so here is my list, copy pasted from my notes app so that is why the formatting and wording is all weird lol, of all the herbs and oils I’d include in a sleep prayer oil, and all my reasonings.
But I freaking. Listen, I don’t believe sleep is a real god, but when I was like ‘what would I put in this’ my mind kept going back to rosemary, and I was like ‘why tho?’ And the first thing that popped up when I searched for herbs for creativity was rosemary and I just said ‘ok. Sleep wants that in there’.
I cant make this rn, cause… I am not uhhh ‘practicing’ (my practice is gathering knowledge until I can move out), but I want to 🤣. I wonder if I could get by with substituting lemon oil for lemon balm, cause I have access to essential oils, but not herbs and putting them jars lol. I could honestly say this was a blend for seizures and I wouldn’t even be completely lying….. I’d actually just have to buy the patchouli and mugwort 🤣🤣🤣…. I’m so tempted. I’ll let you know if I do it or not😂 or maybe I just leave out the mugwort and patchouli for right now? I feel like the others have everything covered, but the first two where more like the pa-pow of the oil, idk if this makes since? Like those are the main two and if I was making this for real, I would do only a little bit of the other ingredients, and a lot of the main two, but if I’m not including them I’d do more of the others…. Fuck it I’m gonna end up making this, oops. (But probably with grape seed oil, since this is an essential oil blend… I’ll be back with more notes I’m so sorry).
Edit: this just keeps getting longer longer sorry; went to gather the oils, realized we do indeed have patchouli! But not rosemary… thinking of substituting oregano for rosemary…. And maybe clary sage for mugwort?? Hmmm. Lots of thoughts. Same associations for both things as the list above… ok I have to be done now I’ll come back and tell you if it smells good in a different ask lmao.
Sorry for info dumping to you about a silly little oil, but I was having fun with it.
What would go in your version of it, if you don’t mind me asking👀 I know you said you where doing your own research on it, and I’m curious🥰.
i have sat on this for waaaayyyyy toooo long but university was absolutely kicking my ass for the last… month and a half? idk i was going through it for a hot minute 😅
but! finally getting to tuck into some research now that i’m done school for the term and have a quiet day at work. (this is gonna get hella long cuz i’m having a lot of fun researching and i’m gonna use this as a sounding board a bit as i read)
so! first thing i’m learning is that intention is a huge part of this (i knew the intention part already, part and parcel with working with tarot!)
i think given that sleep is introduced to us as some sort of deity, i would probably make a ritual anointing oil.
the carrier oil itself is another question. i think since sleep feels like a deity not easy to commune with (the intensity and allegory in the music makes me think that, if we were worshipping a true god, conversing with sleep takes a toll on the devotee). with this in mind i think grapeseed oil might make a decent base. it is a good choice for anything used to anoint the body (which i feel would be part of this ritual oils use, if we must dream to encounter sleep then anointing the body makes the most sense to me!) and it is ruled by the moon and water element- making it very fitting for sleep token! grapeseed oil is also useful for blends that intend to boost/strengthen mental abilities (it also helps with fertility magic and given the lyrical content at times- seems somewhat fitting) another useful aspect for a ritual for sleep. i do like the vibes of olive oil as well, and it’s a very versatile ingredient but i don’t think i’d like feeling it on my skin so grapeseed it is! (also my local magick shop has grapeseed oil so easy for me to obtain lol)
now the fun part- the essential oils!
(i’m realizing as i write this that i need to purchase a grimoire so i can start recording my research and recipes…)
so this part has taken me a lot longer to fiddle with, not only finding the right associations but also smells i enjoy, but i think I’ve got it!
- sandalwood (its grounding, promotes inner peace, aphrodisiac) [i went back and forth here between sandalwood and cedar, same associations but i prefer the scent of sandalwood]
- lavender (promotes sleep, reduces stress, pretty straightforward lol)
- patchouli (grounding, sharpens your wit, good for prayer work) [loooove the smell too, i’d do anything to naturally smell like patchouli lol, hippy association be damned]
- mugwort (astral projection, lucid/prophetic dreams, meditation)
- lemon balm (love, healing, astral projection, it also amplifies the effects of other herbs)
- clary sage (vivid dreams, divination)
i keep going back and forth on whether or not to add clove, it’s another aphrodisiac and also good for treating insomnia so i think it would fit? but i’m not 100% sure on it yet lol. my familiarity with essential oils and herbs is very minimal
but yeah! now to get the oils and mix. not sure exactly how the mix will come about, will need some trial and error with it i think! again, sorry this took me so long but here we are! finally i did it!
#exie’s ask box#foxgloveinspace#sleep token#witch talk#thank you for enabling this madness- i had a lot of fun when we originally joked about this and with my research!

ok so I?? realized I completely forgot to do this meme for the past, like... three games??? so here’s me remedying that dereliction.
Galar was an easy one. it has a bunch of Pokemon I think are alright, and loooots I cannot stand. but all in all I gotta say even among the Pokemon I like in Galar, there are few I really adore. most of them just kinda grew on me, like in the case of Copperajah, or Chimpep, which I have grown to love a lot more since my initial response of “NOT ANOTHER MONKEY!!”
personally I think the only design that really slaps is Galarian Zapdos, everything ranges from a B+ to a B-.
on the flip side, we got a lot of designs that kinda piss me off lmao. I’m not even gonna get started on Inteleon and it’s creepy ass hands. but I will talk about how unhappy I am with the trend of Pokemon that have obviously been designed as 3D assets first and have been illustrated later, as is clearly the case for Morgrem, and especially Impidimp. I understand that the approach to coming up with Pokemon is changing in the times of 3D graphics, but models that are so clearly cobbled together from default shapes as these seem very lazy to me.
I decided to dedicate four slots to each of the new fossil Pokemon. despite the fact that I think some of the designs are alright, I hate the fact that all of them are basically constantly in the process of dying.
honorable mention goes to Appletun. I can see the appeal here, but I’m very on the fence about Pokemon made of food and it’s eyes creep me tf out.
generally not a terrible generation for new Pokemon, but not a fantastic one either.
-
Hisui also gets a little extra meme cause why not. Hisuian Liligant might be one of my fav mons ever. the only drop of bitterness about it is that it basically replaced my Hisuian Decidueye, since they did not fix Decidueye’s abysmal speed stat and Hisuian Lilligant has the objectively better move pool. Hisuian Goodra is fantastic all around, and I personally feel like the huge snail shell is exactly what has always been missing about this design.
when it comes to least fav mons this game, I got a lot more opinions, especially on the starter forms. generally I think I’d like to describe Hisui forms and their evolutions with the phrase “missed opportunity”. that’s why Hisuian Arcanine is on my list of least fav mons this game, cause the potential of a Fire/Rock Arcanine was ginormous and the result extremely underwhelming, especially in 3D. Kleavor and Enamorous are a crime against nature. I actually had trouble believing they were real Pokemon and not badly stitched together fakes.
-
alright so next up is Paldea. oh boy.
maybe I should preface this section by saying that the only reason I got this game is cause I’m participating in an event later this year where everyone needs a copy of Purple or Scarlet, and I only bought it secondhand on ebay. I wouldn’t have gotten this game at all, and I do not approve of the direction this franchise is headed rn.
alright, now that that’s out of the way, let’s talk about the mons I like first. I don’t think I need to say that I’m generally severely underwhelmed with the designs this gen. even among my faves, there are few that I really stan. and Slither Wing and Roaring Moon, which I actually really like, are basically legendaries that I couldn’t use in my run of the game. I mean four of the Pokemon on my fav list aren’t even fully evolved ffs. that’s especially sad in the case of Arctibax. I had one in my team and I really loved the simplistic, almost gen 1-ish approach to its design. but then it evolved, and for the first time ever I was sad that my pseudo legendary hit its final form :/
Ceruledge rocks, no further commentary needed.
the two honorary mentions are designs I think are pretty lame visually, but that I cannot help but stan either because of the concept (Maushold) or because of the personality (Flamigo). ....honestly Flamigo just makes me happy. also it got me out of a couple of pinches in the early game. love this dumb bird.
which brings us to. the list of mons I dislike. I tried to narrow it down to 10 + 2 honorable mentions, but I quickly realized that that’s a p hopeless endeavor. so here are most of the designs in this gen I cannot stand. yeppppp, really just a hater this time around. once again I have to talk about design philosophies, and how they change, and how that’s okay, yadda yadda yadda. throughout the last couple months, GF is CLEARLY into prioritizing ?quirky? designs. but there’s a difference between making a design kinda comical, and treating it as nothing but a joke.
I wasn’t sure whether I was gonna say more than that, cause people really be touchy when it comes to fans criticizing the franchise they have been into for over 20 years. but then I remembered that this is my blog and I can hate as much as I want on here. so I decided to give a quick reason why I dislike each of these guys, but I’ll try to keep it to one sentence.
Crocalor: bad shapes and bad color distribution.
Quaxwell: what’s the duck doing with that huge cake??
Spidops: Terrifying, ugly shapes, next please.
Pawmi, Pawmo, Pawmot: it’s the exact same Pokemon three times?!
Arboliva: why do the olives look like they’re just copy pasted on?!?
Squawkabilly: literally how do you fuck up a rockabilly inspired parrot design so hard that it looks like a kellogg’s knockoff mascot??
Naclstack: Minecraft.
Bellibolt: love the idea with the face, hate everything else.
Maschiff: looks like the annoyingly dumb villain in a western 90s cartoon.
Mabosstiff: hate the face, hate the colors, hate that GF doesn’t stop giving its animals beards.
Shroodle: sorry I just need more than a sentence here cause this might very well be the worst Pokemon ever conceived in my opinion. it’s definitely THE most egregious example of 3D assets lazily pushed together to create a design that is barely even readable. like, what is that thing sticking out its... nose? mouth? is that its tongue? its teeth? just looking at it makes me depressed. everything that’s wrong with Pokemon designs recently.
Grafaiai: Idk, I could maybe find it acceptable, but why GF, why has no one ever told you that you never mix two hues of black in one design, and you ESPECIALLY do NOT let them touch each other!!!
Bramblin and Brambleghast: they’re just bushes lol.
Klawf: it’s straight up Krabby again, like???
Capsakid: everything I already said about Shroodle, just that Shroodle already took the cake.
Scovillain: when I saw this one I almost backflipped away from the screen. what are those heads. those freakishly thin necks. what. are. those. ARMS. it’s like the person who was tasked with modelling this thing just gave up towards the end. soulless. we deserve better.
Rellor: oh okay that’s almost kinda coo- OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT FACE??
Tinkatink, Tinkatuff, Tinkaton: yeah I know I’m getting in hot water here, but I’m sorry this is a straight up Sonic character.
Wiglett and Wugtrio: there’s nothing terribly wrong with these, I’m just tried of Diglet receiving extra attention.
Palafin: it’s just so funny cause people have been begging for a dolphin Pokemon for decades, and then we get... this fucking joke of a toothpaste tube.
Orthworm: why.
Greavard and Houndstone: so tired of ridiculously transparent manipulation tactics like coming up with three new evolutionary lines of high concept dog designs and going “PUPPER!! DON’T YOU ALL LOVE THIS SILLY LITTLE DOGGO?!”
Veluza: I coulda sworn we JUST had this exact same Pokemon last gen.
Tatsugiri: sorry I just hate its lore, which is especially funny cause a couple days before this Pokemon was revealed, I saw a fan design based on the exact same concept and it kicked so much ass and leaned so much into how disgusting the background idea was that I couldn’t help but love it. I can’t find it anymore, but it was like a creepy necro mermaid that sticks out of the body of its dead prey and uses it as a tail. why do people like that not work for GF?
...I think that’s overall my question. literally every fan design I see, every redesign made by fans, it’s almost shocking? how they’re pretty much always better, there’s always more thought put into it, better inspiration, the lines flow better, the shapes are clearer, the movement is better, the designs are more appealing, have better color distribution... like, it’s not like there aren’t people with fantastic ideas out there. sorry, it’s just. kinda depressing.
EDIT: found it! check it out, it’s creepy and inspired and fantastic! (cw: body horror)
Dudunsparce: another one of these where it’s like... people were begging GF to give Dunsparce some love, an evolution, a regional form, anything. and what they get is this. I know this is me reading into things but it does start to feel like GF is just tired? of all of it?
Kingambit: insert “look how they massacred my boy” gif
Iron Treads: why would you fuck up a perfectly good design like Donphan’s like this.
Iron Bundle: no.
Frigibax: once again, too western, doesn’t fit its evolutions, what is going on.
Gholdengo: to make this the 1000th Pokemon truly is. a choice. then again, it is a stack of money, so.
Chien-Pao: it’s fangs clip through its mouth...!!!!!
notable mentions go to: Quaquaval’s legs and feet. once more GF’s obsession with making its monsters look like humans in costumes ruins an otherwise alright design. I’ve seen people give it more bird-like legs and immediately everything about this Pokemon came together way better. it’s just staggering how easily some of these guys could be fixed. the other notable mention is Iron Valiant’s dumb fucking pigtails, without which this design could have slapped.
Idk man. no closing words here. I already said everything I gotta say. sorry this doesn’t end on a more positive note, but imho GF needs to get a grip, badly.
#Pokemon#Pokemon meme#pokemon sword and shield#pokemon scarvi#Kroko speaks#gotta give props to the localization team tho!#the German names added a lot to the designs this time around

SHSHS YOU SHOUDOVE TOLD ME ABOUT THE SHITTING TYPO LMAOAOA im crying if I hadn’t gone back to read the tl myself it would’ve just sat there un-addressed forever….I was even thinking of making a master note of all the TLs I’ve had so far just to organize imagine I just copy pasted that omg…maybe I should’ve slapped it into grammarly or some spell check before hand

No I completely get it it’s like when you start using like a cringe term ironically and then it just integrates itself into your vocab LMAOOO I know the feeling all too well…
OMGGG guys oaeu is fr happening….wait now I’m torn past me would’ve immediately slammed the Karasu button but after our convo im not sure??? Karasu for obv reasons but wait the otoya ideas we talked abt were way too entertaining and the Nagi double date and then also aiku being like “Barou needs bitches” GUYS decisions…………………….and how could I forget our yuki prince aiku discussion too omfg
REAL lowk I see a lot of nagi hate nowadays?? Mostly the people going “haha nagi fraud” or “nagi u suck apologize to Reo rn” so errrrr I’m gonna need kaneshiro to show us the matches of other stratums pls im lowk sick of Isagi’s face I NEED to know what goes on in scenes Isagi isn’t in pls im begging (channel ur inner kaneshiro and save us please)
I’m ngl I was pretty caught up but I don’t remember anything about his backstory LMAOO based on his character im sure you’re right tho
Also WAITTT I ALMOST FORGOT ABT YUN I love him he was so cute but chigiri as yun so real….I could’ve sworn he also had a moment where people were like “you’re a dude???” Which kinda aligns with the whole chigiri “princess” thing LOL
Wait that’s actually lowk such a smart way to decide HAHAHAH lmk how the results of that go….ive seen a bunch of matchup events floating around too I hadn’t realized how popular they were
I’m not even kidding it’s a little scary how accurate your kiyora feels…like in your previous response you were like “I think I got it somewhat right?” and I went in reading it expecting it to be maybe a little off maybe more violent since that’s what you described it as and then I proceeded to read and it was just canon kiyora. Witchcraft. Kaneshiro is actually invading your brain telling you what to do.
Kiyora being kinda shy and showing his crush a more private, somewhat vulnerable side to him>>>> he’s lowk cuter than I originally thought is this a conversion moment….ill hold onto this sentiment LMAO kiyoranese has me laughing so hard I lowk see the instrument vibes but I’m ngl I think I prefer this one over the instrument…maybe also because I don’t like Kaiser as much HAHA both are so good though….
THATS ACTUALLY TERRIFYING I’m glad you both are safe bc wtf..maybe you should invest in a bottle of pepper spray jic SHEGAJ
LMAOO is the one who mouthed sorry also the one you turned down with an excuse or is this a different person (if it’s different you really have some crazy rizz aura because that was really quick work) ok but no violence is good I was reading that thinking like “wait how much of this is non fiction……”
Checking off another Mira banger off the list…excited for whatever’s next and also the oaeu….
- Karasu anon
LMAOOO no it was funny and i didn’t want to embarrass you plus i kinda forgot it once i started typing so i did not say anything i’m sorry 😩 next time i will though
YESSSS OAEU IS HAPPENING literally so hype it’s going to be so much fun plus season 2 starts soon so it’s like the perfect time to be working on it because the anime onlies are going to get into tabieitaken and aiku which is perf 🤩 LMAOO i’ve fed enough karasu content that the world is no longer starving so it’s more like bonus atp 😏 HAHA funnily enough reo was winning the poll for a WHILE there but now karasu’s in the lead again 😭 it might just be an audience bias thing though because there’s no way if you get random people from the fandom to vote they would pick karasu over sae nagi AND reo 😰 we’ll see there’s still a bit of time before the poll ends so the winner def isn’t locked in yet!! i think reo is second place atm (possibly tied w sae) and karasu is winning w barou in third but who knows how it will all play out
EVERYONE SWITCHED UP ON NAGI SOOOO FAST it’s like they all forgot who carried isagi in the second selection 😱 truly there would be no bllk if nagi wasn’t there to score 90% of team white’s goals 😭 and he was also the first to score on the u20s like i need everyone to put respect back on my man’s name 😒 he’s going to comeback TRUST and when he does everyone will start glazing again but i’ll know…i’ll remember 🙂↕️
YESS i distinctly remember yun being mistaken for a girl and being called pretty (he also calls himself pretty a lot iirc) so it’s literally perfect for chigiri!! maybe i have a type in the kind of media i like watching or smth the parallels are kinda going crazy
yeahhh they are surprisingly popular!! i haven’t done a ton before (one of my old mutuals did them so i think i did a jjk one and got noritoshi + choso + yuta so basically i’m pomegranate ink y/n 🤩) but i think it will be fun to see for like curiosity’s sake yk plus it might make me more decisive on who/what to write for…or not LMAO imagine i get shidou bruh i’d be at a loss for words (i don’t THINK i will but the chances are never 0 yk)
LMAOOOO that’s so good to hear i was worried i made him too extreme especially because when i answered you it had been a bit since i had finished so like the most memorable parts to me were him getting in the fight and him talking abt how he beat up the mayor’s son but i forgot he’s pretty chill for the most part in the fic!!
HAHA omg kiyoraism incoming…idt he’ll ever break into my top three (nagi karasu barou the it girls of the miraverse fr) but he’s def growing on me honestly he’s rlly sweet in his own way �� no i def feel that because neither of us have ever been into kaiser + w the instrument it’s almost a less relatable story?? since the reader is a famous actress instead of a regular person…plus kaiser is the opposite of kiyora he seems chill and sweet on the outside but on the inside he’s a little off putting whereas kiyora is ready to smack a bitch on the outside but on the inside he’s just a cutie who gives people grape candy if he likes them and the latter is def a trope that i think we both enjoy more LMAOAAO
IT WAS SCARY and okay so there were actually three guys that night — the one who said sorry (he only half counts though ig because it was dubious whether we were being friendly or if he liked my best friend or me), the one who i rejected by saying i was too drunk, and the one who slid into my linkedin dms 😭😭😭 the rizz aura is a little crazy to be honest like just today i was at the library to print out my resume and a guy asked for my instagram (also was not into him alas but i did give him the insta because why not) bruh it sounds like i’m making it all up or smth but trust it’s 100% real…i’m only chronically online on the inside externally i look normal enough to be approachable ig 😩💔 HELP IF THERE WAS AN ACTUAL FIGHT I WOULD’VE CRIED luckily he just yelled at us a ton but i did use some direct quotes and paraphrases from him to really liven up the story FJFHSJSJ
ANOTHER BANGER DONE now i need to figure out which req i want to be inspired for next and get to work so we can get to the oaeu 🤩 not counting yours i have 5 left to do so hopefully i can get them out quickly!! two hiori ones, two karasu ones, and a nagi req 🤩 plus the ones you sent in ofc and then i got a req last night also for nagi but they missed the cutoff so i’ll work on that post oaeu

Chapter III: Catalina’s Welcome // Far From Home!
Warnings: angst, fluff, (there is h/c there too) crying, blood, mention of abuse, mention of death, and panic attack
A/n: I know people have their own different experiences on panic attacks. Alas, poor girlie Elena🥺. Also, this is the longest chapter, damn! A lot of shit to unpack.
A/n 2: The following content may be unsuitable for younger readers. Reader’s discretion is strongly advised.
Elena’s pov
“Have we met before?” he asks me.
It’s the same man from before. The one I found at sea. The man I saved from drowning without being caught by my Sisters and the Ocean. I nod.
“It must be true. You must be the one. What’s your name, darling?”
I look down sadly.
“Can’t speak?”
I nod reluctantly. This is a secret to all sirens. You must not speak in front of others when you’re in public. Giving your voice means you kill. You add another dead man to the sea.
He takes out a pen. “Here,” he says as he puts his arm out for me. “You can write here.”
I contemplate giving him my real name for a split moment before actually writing it down.
“Elena. What a beautiful name.” His voice seems so gentle. He introduces himself as Matty.
Ugh his smile. He’s so beautiful like this. Just like when I found him the other day. He takes my hand as he kisses it, his gentle lips brushing against it.
I am eying a bracelet on Matty’s wrist, curiosity getting the best of me. It looks so beautiful. The pearls in it wraps around it like a ribbon. I grab my phone, open notes and begin typing.
That bracelet is beautiful, I sign. Someone made it for you?
“My girlfriend made it for me,” he replies. “Unfortunately, she passed away in a car accident. I was gonna marry her. She was the light of my life until her death. It had been days since. That was when you found me. Nearly meeting my death. I thank you.”
I smile, but at the same time, I feel really sorry for him. He must have really loved that girl. He poured his heart and soul for her. Her death has affected him so much when I found him that day. I watch as he begins to burst into tears. He opened up about himself and what happened.
I’m really sorry for your loss. I sign again.
I get up from the bench and hug him as he cries. He lays his head on my shoulder as I stroke his head, my fingers slightly scratching his scalp. My other hand is rubbing his back in soothing patterns. I feel his body shaking from all of the pain he has been carrying for the past couple days after the incident. I pull away for a moment as I place his hand on my chest to help guide his breathing. I inhale and he follows, though his breath is shaky. I exhale and he does the same. We do this for five minutes before he finally calms down.
I wipe away the fresh tears from his face, placing a gentle kiss upon his cheek. He smiles weakly as he pulls me in for another hug, his head now resting on top of my head and mine resting on his chest. We stay like this for a while longer until I check the time and pull away from him.
I have to go, I sign as I give him my number with exes and o’s and ‘call me’. I will see you soon. It was nice meeting you, Matty.
“It’s nice meeting you too, Elena.”
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
I am humming to myself as I text Matty when I heard Isa call my name.
“Coming!” I call over my shoulder.
I look back on my phone to shoot a text.
I am needed rn so can I text you later?
I shall be waiting for you, darling.
Dropping my phone in the bed, I rush to the living room to see what’s happening. “My poster has multiple copies sold!” she exclaims happily. Isa has always been an artist. She finds paintings in many art museums and online for inspiration. I see multiple designs and patterns she makes.
If only I can tell her, Macy, and Catalina that I saved Matty over a month ago. But, as a siren, you can only kill. But when I sang him that song, it awoke him, not killed him. I find it very strange. Your voice is supposed to be a weapon. I’m scared that the Ocean might find out.
One week ago
Come, girls. Your new sister awaits. She’s morbidly scared. We heard the Ocean call.
We ran towards the dock. Where is she from? I asked.
Mexico. Be gentle with this one.
Saoirse joined us as we swam to the docks of Cozumel where there is a dolphin attraction. Thank the stars it was night, since no one is around. When we got there, we saw a girl tied up in a huge fish net! She was also covered in blood and bruises. Whoever did this to her…
“Come help me break the net,” Isa said as she tried to pull away the net. “They’re too rough.”
We broke the girl free as she collapsed on her knees sobbing. “Don’t come closer,” she cried. “Stay away!”
She must have been in horrible condition. I took the more gentle approach to her as I tried to soothe her. “It’s okay,” I cooed. “I won’t hurt you.”
The girl caved in and nestled herself into me, Saoirse joining in the hug.
“What do you remember?” Isa asked.
“I don’t want to remember,” the girl responded. “It was awful. Papa did this to me”-She showed all of the scars and bruises on her body-“he is a bad man.”
Poor girl. She’s so, so so hurt and scared.
“Who are you?” she asked, her voice trembling.
“The one holding you right now is me, Elena,” I began. “In front of us is Isa, Macy, and Saoirse.”
“Catalina.” the girl introduced herself.
“We are mermaids. Sirens,” Macy explained. “You may have heard of us in many stories and Greek mythology. We belong to the Ocean. We feed Her.”
“What does the ocean eat?”
That was the same question I asked years ago when I first became a siren. After all, you can’t kill curiosity out of someone. They must know the answers.
I found small figures and a toy boat to show her. I emphasized the figures as sirens and the boat in my hand as the people in it. I felt it was a lot more easier to describe the duties. She seemed to get the gist of it.
“From this day forward,” Macy began. “You won’t get sick or injured. Your voice is a weapon. Once your years are up, your privileges will return to you.”
Catalina gave a confused look. “Neither of us never understood that the first time,” Saoirse chimed in. “It’s alright, mo stóirín. We’ve been through the same thing.”
Catalina contemplated a moment. Her father must have been a cruel man. “If that means getting away from my evil father, then be it,” she declared. “Take me away.”
Then came the next step: diving into the water. She seemed very nervous. “Watch Macy.” I told her. We watched as she gracefully dove into the water without hesitation. Catalina’s face changed to a smile as she dove in. Adorably, she held her breath.
All four of us swam around her as the Ocean placed the same cold force I’ve felt before into her mouth. When Catalina resurfaced and jumped, she exclaimed, “I’M A GODDESS! I HAVE BEEN REBORN!”
I smiled as I dove back in. She must really love her new life now.
She really does, the Ocean began. However, she must be very careful. You and your Sisters need to watch over her.
I understand.
Present day: the same bench from before
It’s great to see you again, Matty, I sign. How are things?
“It’s really great seeing you again, Elena,” he says gently. “I’m doing a little better. Still trying to get through it. It’s hard.”
I know. Do you wanna go look at records? Maybe it can cheer you up a little.
“I would love that.” There is that smile again.
The record store turns out to be the same one he goes to. Throughout the past 3 months, we’ve gotten closer as we get to know each other more. We’re both music lovers. We both enjoy each other’s company.
As we got out, he thanks me for this great day. I dive in for a hug, only this time, my arms wrap around his neck. I hear his heart beating so gently in his chest. His hand is stroking my back in calming patterns without realizing it’s making me melt more into him. He begins humming absentmindedly as his other hand plays with my hair. The background music outside is unfamiliar to me. I close my eyes as I listen. All the while he is swaying me side to side. It just feels…so right.
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
It had been two weeks now since Saoirse bid farewell to us after serving her years. Two weeks since she was brought home in Ireland. To say how much I miss her would be an understatement. My only concern now is how scared I am still of the Ocean finding out I had saved Matty months ago.
The full moon has arrived tonight. It is that time again. The next sinking. I don’t want to do it after the last one, yet it is mandatory. More scared than ever.
I wish I could just swim away and see Matty again. Ever since our record shop date, I feel I am much closer to him. I think I’m starting to fall for him.
On my swim this morning, I was questioned by the Ocean. So I heard you found someone in my waters. Her voice was very clear of disappointment yet She seemed calm for some reason.
A man was drowning. I had to save him. I confessed. I knew this was coming. I argued that I didn’t say anything, knowing how you can’t speak as a siren in public. She then said that I can’t see him anymore and took my voice away as punishment. Now I am unable to speak at all to Macy, Isa, and Catalina. Now here I am at the next sinking, unable to sing and talk, only to witness it.
As they begin singing, I can’t take it anymore. It was all too much. Not being able to do anything. I go under and swim away, not giving a single fuck about anything.
When I got to the shore, I just sit on the rock, crying. It was horrible, this night. I really don’t want to deal with anything right now. I need Matty. I need him.
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
Matty’s pov
“Elena?”
That is the only thing that came out of my mouth when I see her on the rocks at shore. I run to her. She is soaked and cold. She is crying. Something bad must have happened to her.
When she sees me, she just runs to my arms and continues crying. The salt water scent creeps up my nose. She’s miserable. She curls up into a ball and I fall on my knees to hold her. I begin stroking her back and rocking her back and forth as I shush her gently. “It’s okay, darling,” I say as I continue the soothing patterns on her. “It’s okay. I’m right here. I’m not leaving you. I got you.” She’s freezing, I think to myself. This poor girl. She’s so damn sweet to be hurt like this. So innocent. “I’m gonna hoist you up and then I take you home with me, yeah?” I ask her. She nodded.
I hoist Elena up and take off my jacket to wrap it around her to warm her as I take her to my car. She managed to get in. Throughout the drive, I continue to stroke soothing patterns on her hand.
When we arrived inside, she is hyperventilating, her eyes still red from crying, her whole body shaking. A full blown panic attack. She is crying harder than ever.
Elena makes a grabby hand signal as if to say that she wants to be held. I oblige and cradle her to my chest. If memory serves me right from our record shop date, she seemed to love hearing my own heartbeat and my humming, which kept her grounded. I place her hand on my chest and slowly take a deep breath, signaling her to follow my breathing. Her inhale comes out shaky, yet she managed. As I exhale, she also does. We keep doing this for a while until she’s calm. When Elena calmed down, she looks up to me with soft eyes as they tell me thanks. “I feel you need a nice shower, yeah?” She nods.
I run the bath for her as she gets in. She closes her eyes as the bubbles calm her more. I plant a kiss on her forehead with indication that I’m always here for her. She opens her eyes a moment to sign if I can do her hair. I grab the Head and Shoulders shampoo bottle I saved for her and apply to her head. As I massage her scalp, she is becoming more sleepy. I can lull her to sleep in bed.
After rinsing off the shampoo from her hair and applying and washing her with my eyes closed, I tell her, “You’re starting to prune, darling. I’m gonna get you out of the shower so you can sleep, yeah?” Elena smiles as if to say yes. After I got her out, dressed her up, and helped dry her hair, she is in bed with me, head on my bare chest as I hum the song again, her eyes closing. I begin singing softly.
When I was younger, I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore
That she would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist
But darling, you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
She is asleep in my arms as I continue the rest of the song.

A Dump of my last pre-s2 theories
(and probably my last unqueued post for the day goddamn.)
Originally written yesterday. Edits day of posting. This post builds of evidence not yet presented in cannon but that is public to build the theory. If you consider that spoilers, dni. But here’s the tea:
On june 6th 2022 I sent this doodle to the discord
[ID: a simple, scribbled ink four panel comic showing a person with a short afro working on a laptop and slowly leaning back in their chair, silently, for three panels as the shot slowly zooms on their face which lookis progressively more worried. The last panel shows a close up of their face as they say “I’m worried about Elio.]
in hindsight I don’t know why i had to draw it out but i did? Alongside this I sent the messages
“Part of me wants la catrina to be undeniably good so bad but the more I think about the "nobody tells you what possession feels like" bit from episode one the more nervous i get and then listening to the season two trailer MMMMMMMM me, knowing he's not gonna be okay: I hope he's okay”
to which samy reacted with a single server emoji of that dude smoking and sighing and i have thought about that fucking reaction EVERY DAY SINCE.
But the REAL kicker? this post
[ID: a red blurry zoom in of the words “elio in season 2″]
IT SAYS ELIO HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF GODS BEINGS PRAYED TO IN SEASON TWO. WHICH. WHAT THE FUCK? AS FAR AS WE FUCKING KNOW, EVERY OTHER PERSON WHO ORIGINALLY PRAYED TO LA CATRINA IS DEAD.
[ID: a meme reaction of a guy pointing to a red stringed, paper covered cork board, explaining a conspiracy.]
Anyways. Here’s where i start copying a lot from the discord so it’s more me being weird and less eloquent essay format.
La Catrina's WHOLE DEAL is that she's a blend between Christian and Nahuatl religion. And GUESS WHAT? THE SHORT STORY CONFIRMS THAT THE SAME IS TRUE ABOUT TALIA And the way the baron and la Catrina dance together? And their deeply worrying plan im the final trailer????? I dont have answers but I do have fear .
What does it meeeeean.........I mean clearly if Leo can be an angel while being anti crusade hope isn't lost but......okay this is a stretch but I wonder if there are crusade-approved....is missionaries the word? Like folks with the crusade, who's whole role in the system is to pray to Christian assimilated versions of dangerous gods to overpower past believers and try to control them. It's a STRETCH. But ??????
Shinji's Shinigami man fucker be stable. Shinji if it comes down to it pleeease pull through.
The Good...ish? news is that though the clip about Talia wanting to be a stripper instead of having to kill god (the funniest thing to say but queen shit) she says she HAS to kill god. Not HAD. So. Uhm. Based on structure shit, and stuff Samy mentioned I can't cite rn (understand that I am very tired and most of these rants happen in this same situation) about the show probably being about 3 seasons I think there's a pretty high chance that end of season 2 brings us up to speed with the narration timeline, because that's just a great opportunity there.
Which means that what I mentioned before about Shinji feeling unsafe mentioning where his family is still has a chance to come to change, so yay good. Elio refers to himself as the bane of crusaders or something along those lines, which means that BEFORE he fights god he's still doing pretty well so, hey, he probably won't get zalien god sucked again. Good, cool, chill.
Downside being we can't be absolutely sure if they live through the whole series but HAHAHA HEYYYY ITS FINE
I'm so mad cause I know there are so many details I'm missing that would make me actually chew on wood furniture as much as I say that like for real. I might speed read the transcripts tomorrow [im not gonna so that asjdlfsfasd im tired] which it probably the worst way to consume this show but I have no defense. But the purpose of the recordings though it so help the next generation basically.
They're for preservation, I don't know how they phrased it exactly (sorry but you haven't seen my cry about the internet archive and I'm not gonna get started about the internet archive because it brings me to tears everytime but that's to say wow preservation is a subject and theme that HITS) but it could, alternatively, be very likely that the show recorded before finally preparations to fight TBMINTS
Which, you know, from a writing perspective there really are those two choices. Let the audience know there is a major format-shifting change end of season 2 to build anticipation for the final season OR save that getting up to speed but until the last few episodes of season 3 because a long term formatting change might annoy some audience members. There's also the idea that you can get up to speed, have daily/more recent audio-diary-like things, and then do a format switch end of season 3
We've got to find out about them fighting god somehow, and I don't know if the current format fits that whole deal? Maybe it could, I’d love to see it if it did, but I think the chances for a switch are high and what that says about the pacing of the show has some effect on how sure I am that my faves are gonna live ngl.
Like if you wait til the last few episodes a reflective on the noble deaths of the big 3 would work pretty well and yes it would be a wonderful story if it went that way I have full faith, but I also don't WANT it yk?
But I do not see all the cogs I am a poor fic writer leaning up a cypress tree etc.
[Here, a brief discussion on themes of cultural preservation and how they’re often recorded in real life]
Which HITS with elio especially. And also talia having read that short story. They had parallels but now they have PARALLELS. I just am literally so scared for elio next season though. And Talia by parralell extension but also cause I think Samy mentioned giving more into her deal s2 in the q&a? But less like SCARED scared.
Okay wait hello this is very but IS it a stretch to say there may be legions of believer’s tainting how the god’s menifest? Like it's a stretch if you're assuming these people are AWARE of their roles in the system. That it's an intentional force by each individual directed at helping the crusade
BUUUUUUT TBMINTS runs on media. He run on major movies. If I was the god of a massive, relatively culturally cohesive continent (north America in comparison to, like, Asia, has very few thriving cultures, the colonialism will do that to you) and I was created by, and therefore knew how to leverage, media to harness belief to get more power from humans, like the next step would very obviously be to manufacture more media to help reach my goals.
And if I was manufacturing media to help me goals with a very large, organized force that surely has some sort of research division because what is marketing if not research but evil, I would totally say to myself
Hey!
I can control other gods by controlling the perspectives of their believers!
Hey! I can make people believers and shape their beliefs with media!
Hey! Why not send out various targeted feeds in the news and in pop culture funded by my massive organized theocracy showing the most powerful of my enemies as fitting more cleanly into the idea of good and evil that benefits me, both so that the I convince the subjects of my dominion their is no other alternative than the way I rule and also to hinder the other gods by making them more wreckless and more violent in ways that do not help their ultimate goals and create a cycle of demonizing them in the eyes of the masses? Literally what is stopping me from doing that?
NOTHING.
[Edit: There’s some evidence to by found maybe in that Elio who grew up in the americas had no fucking clue about the governments of europe and japan until he was told. Smells like a propaganda machine to me.]
And if it wasn't TBMINTS plotting himself he's got, like, at least a million bootlickers one of them has gotta be a mastermind with how much holy steroids he pumps into them.
And like. The show's been...well it hasn't defined belief yet, which is really what leaves room for this theory.
Marcus didnt believe in lady luck in the same way elio believed in La Catrina (shrouding themselves in dark robes and praying In basements "it was all very dramatic") he just saw her once and just kinda lived his life knowing that. It only came into play much later when he needed to confront it.
Witches are just assured of themselves and their power. That's a background belief they don't pray to themselves they don't actively maintain that.
And Samar's whole deal?
My point is with the breadth of diversity in what "belief" is in the show and how it powers gods there's definitely space for this crackpot theory still (watch that change as soon as this ep drops shfskhslss) [edit: VINDICATION! you cant call me wrong yet] but if I get even one thing right I'm gonna be elated.
But god also?? Like I feel like we're lead to believe fighting TBMINTS is going to be a physical thing. The trio's growing strengths are very physically centered. But how do you kill a god REALLY? With as many followers as he has even if you somehow slew him, what stops TBMINTS from immediately being reborn? His power comes from the cultural eradication of nonbelievers, and as Leo's sympathetic example could be taken to hint at: you really just can't kill all those people. Many of them are just ...people. not crusaders.
SOOOOOOOOO IN THAT CASE. If you're fighting a god of the media in a world where where all power is based on popular belief and perception is not the best counterattack to create your own media? Physical aptitude keeps them alive, it wins the small battles, but it hearts and minds that win the war
WHAT IF THE REAL UNIMAGINABLY POWERFUL WEAPON WAS THE PODCAST WE'RE LISTENING TO ALL ALONG?!?!?!!?!

OBEY ME! CHAPTER 51 DETAILED SUMMARY + THEORIES
MC goes out looking for them, in the music room the record player starts on its own. MC ends up wondering the empty house on their own, ending up in the library. They reminisce about a conversation with the brothers where they were debating who the real killer of the OG HoL family was. With Asmo & Beel (Beel because he can never imagine family killing each other despite how bad things get and Oh Beel you Sweet sugar plum welcome to the human world~ it be like that sometimes) saying it was the servant, Belphie saying it was a stranger (cause the oldest and the servant are too obvious, and maybe the oldest wasn’t killed cause he was not home at the time) and Satan & Mammon saying it was the oldest brother (with Mammon defending his choice by saying that as they are always the meanest and nastiest it’ll be in an oldest brother’s nature, but also that in the story the oldest never got along with his siblings), Mammon’s argument makes Levi join team oldest. MC chooses who the killer was (it was the oldest c’mon! the guy bought a gun days before a similar model was used to shoot and kill his entire family, and he was seeing arguing with the servant the day before the murder). MC then gets a call on their DDD, and you can choose whether it’s from Satan or Simeon.
MC tells whoever calls what’s going on, while cats shriek in the background of the call (poor Simeon…) One cat is climbing and scratching Satan, Da Vinci and Michelangelo are fighting and the call is kept. They remember more times in the HoL; Lucifer trying to get Belphie to stop napping in the library cause it’s too cold and he’ll get sick, Asmo cooing over how adorable Belphie is asleep, Mammon & Levi arguing about money (Levi: give me my money back Mammon: Chill. Soon. Levi: What’s soon? In 30s? In 1min? In 1min 30s? Mammon: is getting your money back on your bucket list and you’re wondering if you’re gonna croak soon? I dunno I thought it was funny…), Satan yelling at them to find another place to fight cause he’s reading, Beel watching a gory horror movie and devouring snacks, MC is asked if they like horror movies. If they say they like it Lucifer says it’s good that they don’t scare easily, Asmo says they can handle any situation with cool and calm, Levi says they’ve already conquered 7 of the devildom’s most powerful demons so really what’s there to it, Mammon says that either way MC has nothing to worry about, Lucifer agrees adding that they’ll always have the brothers at their side (why is this so sweet?????). MC pines for them rn and tries to reassure themself only to satan to ask them what’s wrong and if they missed him that much (and this is the point irl where I would have taken the nearest solid object and chucked it at his head but MC’s made of stronger stuff)
Simeon is there as well and Satan is covered in powder (he’d been testing a new drink flavour which pissed all the cats and now he’s covered in the flavouring. Simeon says that wouldn’t have happened if there were no cats in the café in the first place. Satan says they are an improvement. Simeon – poor fellow – still has no idea why Satan thinks he wanted a cat cafe), MC screams wtf and they explain that Barbatos had dropped by and they’d asked him to portal them to MC and why hadn’t they done this in the first place? I mean ik they probably all wanted to spend time together via a mini vacation and all 3 of them are probably too scatter brained to think of Barbatos on their own but why did no one else suggest Barbatos? Barbatos had apparently being fuming cause he’d gone to the café to take a small break from his man-child of a boss and his other 24/7 duties only to be placed in charge of a café full of manic cats. Satan thinks being stuck in a cat café is heavenly, Simeon disagrees and says Barbatos will find a way to get back them. MC tells them calm the fuck down cause your brother and your son are missing! Satan says he is calm, heavily implying he was seconds away from losing his shit. Simeon changes the subject by saying that the imitation HoL looks like a carbon copy of the OG, Satan says the books in the library (where they currently are) are different to the ones back home and that the ones in this house are more to satan’s taste than the ones back home. Simeon notes that they all seem to be about art. Satan picks up an odd book out, it’s old and ragged with a picture of a pink geranium on it. The title is Ma…14-31 with the middle part faded out. Simeon stresses that they should be focused on finding the others but both Satan & MC wanna open the weird book. Simeon manages to drag them away though to search for the others and come back to the book but when he opens the door out of the library they’re enveloped in a bright white light.
They end up in a brightly lit forest, with Satan wondering tf happened and Simeon saying he recognises the place, an unknown voice asks who’s there, revealing angel!Beel dncjndsjND is MC time travelling AGAIN!? How many times are they gonna fuck up history!? Also what about Satan!? Man’s gonna lose his shit!!? Also I desperately wish MC remembered their last trip to the past just so they could be like ‘lol hey guys long time no see’ and Satan & Simeon would just ???????!!!?? Beel (who’s a gate protector angel? Something like that) asks who they are and MC (who unfortunately remembers nothing) goes “Beel!? Tf you wearing” and he goes “tf are you”, Satan is stunned silent and Simeon soothes things over by being Simeon. Beel asks Simeon who MC and Satan are and he says they are his acquaintances – MC and Sully…….SULLY!! SULLY !!? SULLY!!!!? Out of respect to everyone named sully I won’t say anything, ANYWAY satan has the same issues with the name Sully as I do but Simeon whispers and tells him he doesn’t know if they’re in the past, in an AU or something else entirely so it’d be safer to keep the name ‘Satan’ a secret. Simeon asks what Lucifer’s doing and Beel tells him that he’s at the Celestial Palace, with Michael and the other higher ups which should include Simeon. Simeon says yes but “you see these two idiots here behind me are so fucking dumb they fell into a hidden pit and called me to rescue them because they were too fucking dumb to remember that as angels they have both magic and wings” Satan has the same issues with that excuse as I do. Simeon asks about the brothers, Beel says the same as usual. Levi’s holed up in his room cause he fears he’ll be made redundant with the end of the war (so this takes place around the same time as the last trip to the past). Satan mumbles about Levi being the same even back when he was an angel, MC asks whether Satan remembers anything from when his brothers were angels, he says he has broken fragmented memories from their times as angels because he only sometimes was able to see through Lucifer’s eyes (and I just realised how similar Satan and MC are? They’re both relatively newcomers to the family, biologically they’re nothing like the brothers and probably the rest of their species (Satan being born from Lucifer’s rage and MC having a fallen angel as an ancestor), they both accidentally became part of the family with Lucifer having no choice when all the others were picked by him, they’re both cool, collected and calm but hide destructive magic, from everyone else in the HoL they’re the more normal ones but are also up for stupid shenanigans, they’re both pretty considerate and seem to show affection through acts of service – with how they look out for the others and their needs and likes, neither are scared to talk back to Lucifer, neither have met any of the celestial realm higher ups or know the workings of the celestial realm, neither have really met Lilith, they both had some kinda beef with Lucifer, they were never part of the war between the demons and angels or part of the fight before the Fall, their few memories of the Celestial realm come from either what they saw through Lucifer or what Lilith showed them, they’re the only ones in the family who are biologically related to someone else who either is or was part of the family, they’re stubborn and hardworking, and because right after the Fall and after Lilith’s death I’d imagine Lucifer being broken and regretful of what he see as his decisions - fuelled by his anger - leading to her death and seeing Satan being created from all that overwhelming anger and pain…he probably saw it as everything he did wrong manifesting in the form of a person. As I said earlier I’m pretty sure Mammon’s the one who raised Satan considering he was the one doing a lot of the heavy lifting during the early days of the fall and Lucifer would only later come to acknowledge Satan, and as far as we know he’s only ever acknowledged that he’s technically Satan’s father twice and by this point after years of the two of them avoiding the topic Satan reacts to that acknowledgment with understandable anger but at some point right at the beginning I’d bet a much younger Satan wanted to be accepted and acknowledged by Lucifer, specially after all the others did so. What I’m trying to say is that MC and Satan’s initial relationships with Lucifer were probably similar too with Lucifer being mostly polite and even somewhat protective over them but also being distant and prickly while he tried to determine whether they were a threat to the rest of his brothers, while they resented him, butted heads with him and wanted to be acknowledged and accepted by him in equal measures after everyone else had already accepted them. Also in S1, specially towards the end, MC making pacts with the brothers became less about freeing Belphie and more about proving something to Lucifer – while Satan always seems to have something to prove to Lucifer. Overall, Satan and MC have a lot of similarities and a severely underrated friendship that I really wanna explore more of – I want them coming to each other for problems that the others won’t understand them having, to talk about the few memories they have of the celestial realm, to diss Lucifer, to talk constantly containing destructive power/anger in them, just I need more of them. Plus would Belphie also have had issues with Satan, initially? I mean imagine your older brother coming to you and saying “so your little sister died in my arms but check out this other kid I just gave birth to”. I dunno Belphie’s grief and anger was irrational thousands of years after Lilith’s death when he blamed her death on the entire human race and you know not the people who actually shot the arrow that killed her (really need to talk about this too), so I can’t even imagine what he would have been like when the loss was still raw and not even a minute after her death Lucifer’s somehow found some new sibling for them.) Right enough rambling. Back to it. Beel says he’s looking for Belphie. Mammon turns up and asks who the shit MC and Satan are, Satan is once again speechless, Asmo’s with Mammon and calls the two of them cuties – poor Satan doesn’t like that one bit. Levi asks for their names and Simeon introduces them – Mammon seems highly suspicious of them, but Asmo accepts it in stride and says ‘Sully’ is an adorable name. Satan looks like he wants to throw hands. Simeon says that he has an idea where Belphie might be and that he & MC will go find him and has asks the others to look after Sully for him. Satan immediately protests but Beel agrees and Levi drags Satan along with them, while Mammon contemplates putting Satan to work to help with whatever they were doing which Satan complains more about (and isn’t this a topsy turvy world), Asmo helps to pull Satan along and Satan screams about where exactly Asmo is putting his hands – Asmo is merely flattered about Satan knowing his name. Satan screams for help as MC and Simeon turn to leave.
Simeon is giggling evilly about Satan’s face when they left him, MC notes he looked happy, Simeon agrees – shocked and freaked out but happy. Simeon said he didn’t leave him back just to be mean but instead because Satan was curious about his brothers’ celestial realm days. MC says “yeah sure you didn’t leave him just to be mean”, Simeon laughs and insists he’s “a nice angel” in the fakest way possible. Simeon says he loves the Celestial Realm air but that this doesn’t feel like the past. MC asks him what past Simeon would be up to – Michael and Lucifer were bossing him around and running him ragged, he says that hasn’t changed since then and that the both of them are sadists at heart who love making things harder for people (Luke vs Simeon’s view of Michael are so different it’s jarring but I also have the picture of someone who looks and acts like Lucifer’s complete opposite with a sweet, sunny personality hiding a cutting, cruel in the same was Lucifer is, even prideful person underneath it all. I just love characters who look and act kind but could and would murder you in cold blood if it benefited their cause),when he wrote TSL – he wrote it after the brother’s left cause he missed them. “No offense to Luke and Satan, who haven’t been born yet but this was the most fun period of my life,” says Simeon to a person who also hasn’t been born yet (also how are angels born? We know that all though there are lots of similarities between the Celestial Realm & the Devildom and Heaven & Hell they aren’t the same places at all, Lucifer refers to God as Father and I’m assuming the other brothers do as well but they’ve said before none of the brothers are actually related to each other, I always assumed God just poofed them into existence. But then how was Luke specifically born? Because it’s heavily implied that Michael is in charge of the Celestial Realm the same way Diavolo is, meaning God – like the Demon King – is probably maybe taking a power nap and Luke is only some hundred years old so he’s probably way after God’s time so how was he and all the newer angels created? I’m 100% sure most of the demons in the Devildom – Diavolo included – were biologically reproduced so did angels learn to do that? Does Luke have parents? But then Raphael saw a normal human party as immoral so, even after so long, I can’t see them promoting sex so then did Michael poof Luke? But if so wouldn’t Luke call Michael Father, the same way Lucifer called God Father? Or is there some cosmic magic energy that poofs out new angels? You guys ever watched that first animated Tinkerbell movie where she was still learning to be a tinker fairy? Remember how she was created? The little dandelion seed that was mixed with that gold glowing fairy dust & magic mixture until it spit out a person? that’s how I imagine OM! Angels are created minus the dandelion part. Swirling unknowable natural magic that mixes with emotions and cosmic matter it draws from its surroundings till it creates an angel.) Simeon makes MC stop and kick a tree as hard as they can (which they do without question) until Belphie falls out.
After Belphie is introduced to MC he asks if they’ve met before and MC very lowkey gaslights him for the sake of the already fucked timeline and Simeon tells him Beel is looking for him. (MC can also tell Belphie they live together and he now considers them a crazy person, unless they are the rat in the attic that’s taken a humanoid form in which case he’s gonna avoid them for the rest of eternity). Belphie says Lucifer had wanted him to do a job but he ‘lol noped’ outta there and now he’s recruiting MC and Simeon to help him with who knows what cause he refuses to explain when MC asks. Belphie is surprised that Simeon has two angels assigned to him and Simeon asks if he’s too much of a low level grunt to be given two angels and Belphie’s like “Dude you’re literally one of the highest ranking people here” and Simeon’s like “oh shit lol we’re in the past” and MC’s absolutely unhinged curiosity and unwillingness to let something go only strikes at the odd moment so they never bother asking how Simeon went from one of the most powerful people in the Celestial Realm to a low level grunt (fucking idiot). Belphie hears Simeon’s oh shit comment and asks what he said, Simeon lies through his teeth and MC comments on angels lying. Simeon gave us the whole white lies speech that our parents gave us at some point. Belphie insists that MC’s familiar and MC suggests in a dream, which Belphie takes cause when you spent most your time asleep reality starts getting warped. Belphie makes Simeon and MC carry 6 blankets, when MC asks what exactly Lucifer made Belphie do he says he made him go get blankets for 6 people & that Lucifer had just given them a list of stuff to get and none of them knew what for. Belphie says that Lucifer’s being gone a lot lately cause the prince of the Devildom keeps calling for him (and so this is definitely after MC’s first visit now and I loved the Devilgram about Lucifer & Diavolo’s first meeting but I need detailed backstory about every meeting since then, about how Lucifer started slowly warming up to Diavolo, how Diavolo was always in awe of him despite how much of a prick he was, how he slowly started doubting the celestial realm and seeing things Diavolo’s way, how he felt like the Celestial Realm was lying to him about how things should be, how he should be and that started building up his resentment and anger that would one day turn into Satan, how he felt more comfortable in the Devildom than he ever had in the celestial realm, how much guilt and anger towards himself all this made feel, I mean all this is briefly touched upon in the devilgram but I need it in depth pls someone come scream at me about this!) Belphie says today is Lucifer’s first free afternoon in a long while. Outside the door they hear Mammon yelling at Satan to catch something.
Outside Levi and Satan are trying to catch fluffy eggs (multi coloured eggs with wings), Levi calls Satan “Sully dear” when he tells him to watch his step which Satan takes great offense to. Satan makes a plan that leads to Levi catching all 6. Asmo comments on how despite just meeting they make a perfect team. They go to the brothers’ secret room where the others were making fluffy egg sandwiches on Lucifer’s orders until Beel let them escape. Beel says he didn’t mean to let them escape cause he only wanted to eat them and Mammon says that’s worse (love to see that Beel’s taken MC’s advice from their previous visit and is not trying to control his snacking). Mammon leaves MC in charge of making sure Beel doesn’t eat the sandwiches and asks Beel when he became so food crazy and he says lately he’s been getting more hungry than normal (I like to think that yeah this is Beel unconsciously following MC’s advice to give in to his urges but also Beel and the rest of the brothers unknowingly already starting their fall into being demons as they become more discontent living in the celestial realm during peacetimes). Satan tells Levi to put only thinner layer of butter on the bread and levi does so, Asmo says that there’s something about MC and ‘Sully’ that makes it feel like despite just meeting them that day it feels like they’ve all known each other much longer (I love how Satan just immediately fits into the group dynamics showing that even though he wasn’t there in the beginning he was always meant to be and how both this and last time MC’s just easily accepted like ‘yeah here’s this weird new angel they’re sticking with us now’). Belphie agrees saying he feels like he’s known them forever. Simeon asks MC and ‘Sully Dear’ if they heard that and that it seems like they all share a special bond. Sully dear takes extreme offense to his new nickname. Asmo tells MC and ‘Sully Dear’ that they’ve now been adopted into the family and that any attempt to resist will be futile. MC tells Asmo that it may not be possible. Belphie’s sad. Beels acts like they didn’t say anything and just repeats that they should stay with them. Mammon adds a ‘forever’ onto the end of that and that Lucifer will make it happen cause there’s nothing he can’t do (do you think if Lucifer stayed in the celestial realm he would have just kept on adopting random misfits and oddballs?). Satan’s daddy issues pop up at the mention of Lucifer and he says that even back then Lucifer was pompous with an over inflated ego (something I like about OM! Is how Satan’s deep issues with Lucifer are never resolved after one wacky adventure. They’re deep and old enough that it’ll take a long time to be fixed but progress is being made after each therapy session with Satan even if there’s the occasional regression. It makes it feel much more real). Satan’s annoyed enough about Lucifer that he doesn’t bother lowering his volume so the brothers end up staring at him silently. Probably shouldn’t have dissed Lucifer in front of people who think he’s the best thing ever. Period. Y’know since sliced bread probably hadn’t been invented at the time. Actually when was sliced bread invented? Wait. July 7 1928. Also apparently sliced bread is banned in the US? Is that true? Oh shit okay I actually read through the article and this happened during WWII and the ban was lifted 3 months later. Also it’s implied the saying “the best thing since sliced bread” originated from Americans pushing back against the ban. Look I don’t wanna start discourse about sliced bread but this one lady wrote to the new york times about how she had to slice 22 pieces of bread everyday to feed her family and like yeah I hate cutting bread too but like damn I’m not gonna write to the papers about it, some people are just so goddamned passionate but then again I don’t need to cut 22 slices of bread everyday – maybe I’d be passionate too in her circumstances)
Mammon, Lucifer’s #1 lil lapdog, says he has no idea what sully’s smoking to be talking about ‘back in these days’ but calling Lucifer ‘pompous with an overinflated ego’ is going too far, Satan’s dumbstruck by Mammon’s betrayal because despite everything Mammon’s always been there ready to badmouth Lucifer. Beel says Lucifer’s a good guy who always thinks about them and does what’s best for them (so it’s the same as now except he doesn’t try to hide all that behind 36 layers of assholery). Belphie says he can be easily misunderstood because he’s cold and blunt. Satan comments on everyone up here loving Lucifer (so it’s the same as now except they don’t try to hide it all behind 36 layers of assholery). Asmo asks why they wouldn’t love him when he’s their ‘beautiful, strong big brother’ and that they’re all proud of him (guys Satan’s seconds away from losing his shit and this is the last chapter dbksnkdsjksdnk next lesson the entire Celestial Realm gets reduced to rubble as Satan goes on a rampage rip). Levi says Lucifer looks after him even though he’s totally useless (he says it so casually too I don’t know whether to laugh or cry). Asmo & Belphie says they don’t know how well Sully knows Lucifer but if he knew him properly it’ll be impossible not to love him (honestly that’s true I hated him till we started learning more about him and now he’s my second favourite character! Guess who’s my first, I bet you can’t!). Satan’s absolutely dumbfounded by the suggestion. Simeon agrees with them saying it’s time to mend fences and maybe Satan can take the first step. Satan seems upset, realising that Simeon left him with the brothers in the hopes that they’d get through to him about Lucifer but then he gets pissed demanding if Simeon set up this whole journey to the past thing. Simeon denies it and tells satan to calm his tits. But Satan’s on a role now, asking if he’s doing it for the status, if he gets Satan and Lucifer to work things out he’ll get prestige amongst the angels which honestly makes no sense but anger rarely makes you rational so whatever. He goes on to ask if Simeon hoped he could control Satan, the same way Lucifer does (and hoo boy the issues. I like to imagine MC’s contemplating jumping out the window right about now.) Simeon tries to deny all of this but is cut off by Satan saying that Simeon thinks Satan needs to understand where Lucifer’s coming from and how he’s not so bad but that Satan doesn’t like Simeon telling him what to do and that he can’t believe Simeon created a whole illusion just to get what he wanted. And then he’s screaming about how if Lucifer is so precious to Simeon he should try being “Lucifer’s sweet, obedient little brother” (to be fair the idea of being micromanaged by your father who doesn’t even want to admit to being your father is very shudder inducing). The brothers obviously where no idea what the fuck is going on (MC has created a rope by tying blankets together and is now rappelling down through the window), Levi stutters and asks what Sully’s talking about, Beel asks if he and Lucifer have history, Satan looks shocked and sad for a second before he storms out (probably not a good idea considering what he is, where they are and when they are). Asmo seems upset he left, Mammon seems agitated and wonders wtf his deal was. Simeon says he hadn’t meant to set him off like that and that after all of MC’s therapy sessions Satan would have been more open to talking about everything but that he realises that Satan’s progressing at his own pace. MC knowing their job is never over (climbs back up through the window) offers to go after him. Simeon thanks them and says he feels terrible and will apologise but to spare Simeon’s head being ripped from his shoulders MC really should go smooth things over first. They find Satan in the woods looking sad and ask if he’s okay, he doesn’t reply. They can either hug him or take his hand. Hugging leads to a kiss there’s no choice (whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy let MC hug their friends and give the option to kiss or not instead of them both being to kiss). They sit silently together under the trees, holding hands and looking up at the Celestial Palace and this is the sweetest type of silent understanding that I love. After Satan’s calmed down he says MC can leave and go back to the others now. Just before they can answer they are confronted by Lucifer who asks them who they are and what they’re doing there. And that’s the end :))))))))))))))) Next Lesson’s either gonna be a long ass therapy session or a full out street fight can’t wait

Episode 3-Play by Play Reactions (Spoilers)
I’m so excited
Previously on? Oh please like I need a reminder of what I’ve been obsessing over forever
I miss Randy
This reminds me, how did that person know where the timekeepers are? I’d assume only someone of the status of Judge Renslayer would know.
Ooh funky beat
Oh lunch with Sylvie and that one soldier?
I don’t think that’s what a brain freeze is lmao
Oh they’re friends? Or is Sylvie just in her head?
Hmmmmmm
Poor girl
Oh yup
Oop—
I like the opening thing, but I was kinda hopeful that it’d change from episode to episode like wandavision
Lmao not the best security I gotta say
Yo magic don’t work here girly
Oh she just murdered that guy
Nice moves!
Oh that guy is dead too
GET HER LOKI
MY BOY GOT HIS KNIVES
See TVA, this is why guns are nice. You don’t need to engage in hand to hand combat

SYLVIE HURT LOKI? JAIL! JAIL FOR A THOUSAND YEARS!
Rude, Renslayer
Lmao they’re like siblings fighting
Oh that’s fortunate
HAHAHA MAGIC YESSSSSS
Yea she’s not Loki
We got quips
Uh oh lol
Loki what did you do
Ohhhhh the purple realm in the trailers in called Lamentis
Soooo is this termina?
Oh she said watch out to him!
Oh her hair is up in the back. Cute.
Looking out for each other.
Soooo why no likey being called Loki?
Bonding?
No?
Hello?
Hahahahaha she can’t enchant him
What’s her issue?
No that’s not the reason he saved you. He’s just not a murderer like you.
And what’s your plan?
Cmon girl, spill. What’s your background?
Fast pace episode, gotta say.
Sky kinda looks like a painting.
Sylvie, you shut up. Don’t be rude.
“That’s not who I am anymore.” Sooo she WAS one? Sylvie just an alias?
Seems like the theories about them combining lady Loki and Sylvie together are potentially coming true.
Collapse of society? My favorite pastime!
Cmon kids, get along.
Skull kid has to be somewhere around here. (G-get it? Majora’s mask? Anyone? No? Okay...)
Get yeeted
Lmaooo
Oop shape shifting time
Oh this poor lady
Oh lmaoooooooooo
That didn’t go well
Neat weapon.
That sword she has, is that the one Loki later gets?
I hope Sylvie has a good explanation for things...
Ahhhhh the blue outfits. Turtleneck Loki soon???
Lmaoooooooo nice plan loki
Uh oh rich people
Kinda heavy handed line delivery
Lmaoooo teamwork
What’s gonna work? Teeeaaaaamwork
Can’t wait for Loki to throw someone out the window

Frigga my Queen
Oh no
Emotions

Spoiler lmao
What the heck Sylvie lucky
Or not?
What happened to her?
BONDING
WE STAN SUPPORTIVE FRIGGA
Teach Loki that magic!
I wonder how Sylvie’s past was so different than Loki’s? Wouldn’t that make her whole family variants for stepping off the scared timelines path? Why didn’t the TVA act sooner then?
I’m so happy seeing so much more of Loki’s magic.
“Love is hate.”
Loki is such a wonderful pain
Is this flirting???
Of course loki flirts with Loki
Soooo Loki dated?
“Love is mischief then.” “No. Love is... uh something I might have to have another drink to think about.”
We getting Loki drinking and talking about love. Huh.
Oh my gosh is he drunk?
Yep he’s drunk
How does an asgardian get drunk?
Now we have Loki singing in Asgardian
Seems like it’s hitting to close to home for Sylvie mayhaps?
Tom, your theatre kid is showing.
BAHAHAHAHAHHA HE PULLED A THOR OH MY GOSH
Loki dammit. Stop being drunk.
Please please please don’t make Loki a joke. Please. Please. Please. Cmon Loki.
Love?
“Love is a dagger. It’s a weapon to be wielded far away or up close. You can see yourself in it. It’s beautiful. Until it makes you bleed. But ultimately when you reach for it.” “It isn’t real.”
You were close there.
Fight?
Do it!
Please.
Loki can’t just fabricate tickets?
Hey
Did he just break that guys hand lmao
Nice Sylvie. Using your headpiece as a weapon. Copying Ragnarok Loki
Loki missed? Must be cuz he’s drunk.
Aaaaaand Loki was thrown out the window. Why does this keep happening to him? First dark world by Thor.
A little nervous rn with Loki... he seems to be a bit of a joke rn which is what I was afraid of. I hope this is just a little thing and that they’re not trying to make Sylvie better than Tom Hiddleston’s Loki. I mean, you could chalk it up to this Loki being a variant, so maybe there are other things different about him, but that begs to question, at what point does the TVA step in? We saw other Loki variants in that little hologram display in episode two that seemed like those Lokis had done a lot already.
Now now Sylvie, ahem... “LANGUAGE!”
Bragging about hedonism?
Temper tantrum
Cmon therapist Loki
Sober up Loki.
Scene from the trailer I presume.
TVA should step in soon huh? Or is this another apocalypse with no survivors so it doesn’t get picked up on.
Save this world Loki. Trigger the TVA.
Oh. So no trailer scene yet?
Lazy Loki
Cmon Sylvie, teach him! Maybe he can teach you something!
How on earth is Sylvie so different from Loki? I’m so confused.
I hope Loki is able to learn how to do this.
Wait I thought the TVA workers were made.
THEYRE ALL VARIANTS TOO????
BROOOOOOOOO
THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING
So they’re ALL variants? Soooo, the timekeepers are like running a labor camp? If they have no memories, then what do they think happens when a new worker shows up?
Oh man this is like ragnarok ptsd for Loki if he went through it
Very cool set I gotta say
Also very sad. So many people desperate for their lives.
Major Majora’s Mask vibes
MY BOY HAS SUCH STRONG TELEKINESIS
Tom Hiddleston really said “soooo this is all that Loki CAN do but hasn’t been able to do in the past movies. Soooooo now we’re gonna make him do ALL of it.”
Wait... that’s it????? Why did this feel like the shortest episode so far? I think it was. And the ark was destroyed.
I have so many more questions now, mostly about Sylvie. But also concerns. I really hope they are able to balance series loki with mischievous and clever and silly Loki. And I hope they don’t try to push some kind of female Loki is superior thing (I haven’t gotten that vibe yet, but it’s always a concern for me whenever I see a supposedly gender bent version of a character).
I’m having trouble forming the words for my thoughts. This episode was fun and pretty and intriguing, but probably the weakest for the three so far imo. Not to say it was bad, but it felt kind of like it was amping, then plateaued and then ended. Like we barely got much more information, but more questions and set up but it felt like it ended too quickly. Like more was supposed to happen for this episode but it didn’t.
I hope we can find a way to hear Loki sing in asgardian again, but under less jokey pretenses.

It's completely fair to dislike them for personal reasons. Bodysnatchers posted some screenshots of suicide baiting she got if you wanted to look at that but if you're sensitive to things like that i would not recommend it. It's hard to find out what happened now because it all started a few months ago and a lot of the individual posts have been lost so it's mainly word of mouth. Honestly though, however it started, its ended with groups of people going through macks followers and sending people they see suicide baits so I think it's bad no matter which perspective you're coming from and it's probably safest to stay away completely
I mean I specifically said “not-personal” reasons, as in I dislike them as a person for the real actual shitty things they say/do, rather than having personal petty beef with them.
but anyways like. my thoughts are still pretty much the same. it sucks that they’re getting rude anons ig but I really can’t feel bad for them either. to be frank I’m just gonna copy/paste something my bestie said earlier about this:
“it should also probably be noted that when mack's followers were sending much worse threats/harassment en masse to a minor (in ‘defense’ of him bc he got called out for shitty behaviours) his whole response was to. say nothing about it and paint himself as the victim so. blah blah blah something about dont dish what you cant take”
sorry I know this isn’t the response you’re looking for but I genuinely do not like them and think they’re an almost-30-year-old creep. when they first got called out a few months ago I was literally on the sidelines like “finally lol”.
but also I’m really not actually invested in discussing this rn, I have, like, a real actual job I need to worry about and a 401k and everything. so this is the last post I’m making about this topic, thank u

Slavmaeda- My (Hopefully Only) Statement
Note: The times listed here are mostly in EST. If it is in another time, it will state in parentheses. The other time will usually be Polish time.
Another Note: @slavmaedasaga exists, now, for all the posts. I don’t know who made it.
Possible Blackened-
Fir (aka Firanka)
Sunflower
Marshpy
Daniel
Jago
People who follow Sunflower / Marshpy / Fir / Jago
Gay Nagito Komaeda
Experiencecarrots
Slavmaedasaga
Monokuma File- At an unspecified time this morning, Sunflower received an anon, posting “Slavmaeda rights” continuously until hitting the character limit. At 9:12 AM, Firanka confirms to receiving a similar ask. At 9:17 AM, Fir announces the case to a public discord server, “Danganronpa 2: Tropical Despair”. At 3:50 PM (POLISH TIME), Marshpy receives this ask. At 10:13 AM (or six minutes later, according to Fir), Jago receives a Slavmaeda rights ask. Then, everything went to hell.
TRUTH BULLETS
Alternate Anons: Other anons during this initial period of time were sending Sunflower asks.
“Fir”: One of these anons, not sent by Fir, uses her nickname.
Marshpy’s Account: She states to not having enough bastard energies, as well as her identity as “not Slavic” as proof of her innocence.
See: Marshpy’s Confession.
Marshpy’s Confession: Marshpy admits to sending the asks that went to sunflower and Fir, but none others.
She says she thought it would be funny.
Jago’s Account: [Jago’s] main line of defense is the website & the fact [Jago is] managing a group RP at the same time, [Jago] didnt even have tumblr opened until the situation started.
Jago proves in a screenshot that the first time she opened tumblr was at 10:12 AM.
Sunflower’s Account: She was typing up a character analysis, talking on a server, and answering other posts. Therefore, she did not have time to post these.
Worth noting that later, she would mark the times she was on/off tumblr.
Fir’s Account: She claims to being “confused the entire time”, which she admits herself is a weak alibi. She also states which specific anons she sent sunflower, none of these being the Slavmaeda posts.
See: Fir’s Confession.
Typing Patterns: The first ask was the same set of three “Slavmaeda rights” copy pasted, meaning that every third “Slavmaeda rights”, starting from the first one, had a capital S.
The second was in this same pattern.
The third was in all caps.
The forth had alternating letter capitalization.
Note: After this point, so many asks were coming in that it is hard to establish which typing patterns were used. However, it is worth saying that there were different typing and capitalization patterns.
Notes (Kind of useless but I typed it so whatever): As of typing this, Jago’s post received no notes.
Marshpy’s only received Sunflower and Fir’s declarations of innocence.
Sunflower’s posts received scattered notes.
Fir’s received an unspecified number of notes.
Sunflower’s posts, later, were reblogged frequently by the account “slavmaedasaga”
Daniel’s Account: Daniel is a bastard.
They have no tumblr account, so they can’t leave notes.
Anons can be sent without a tumblr account.
See: Daniel’s Confession.
Jago’s Website: “[It’s] not finished and navigation still is wonky but I can show if I need to prove [I’m] not really paying attention to tumblr rn”
It’s a really dope website not going to lie.
Just. Well done, Jago.
However, this could have been an alibi, planned, as Jago has been watching but suspiciously not contributing much.
Class Trial Rules: Only the first blackened gets punished.
This has nothing to do with anything.
We aren’t a class so technically it’s not a class trial.
But this is still an interesting point, motivation wise.
RickRolling Part One: Daniel is a bastard and a Mikan Kinne.
Deleted Message: Fir paraphrases it as “[trial participants] haven’t noticed something.”
This was deleted.
Daniel sent it.
Threat: “The Slavmaeda Revolution will continue without you” was sent to Marshpy at 10:31 AM.
Daniel claims this was not them.
Fir’s Confession: Fir claims to have sent the Slavmaeda asks to Jago and Marshpy, but did not send the Slavmaeda Revolution asks.
Rickrolling Ask: Someone copy and pastes the lyrics to “Never Gonna Give You Up” and sends it to Fir. After maybe a minute, she receives another Slavmaeda Rights ask.
This Slavmaeda Rights has the same typing patterns as Marshpy’s, except it cuts itself off at the end with a dash.
Threat Redux: Sunflower receives an ask that says “the slavmaeda nation shall remain eternal”
Gay-Nagito-Komaeda’s Account: They just follow Fir and are confused.
They’re innocent it’s just worth noting.
They later joined the Tropical Despair Discord Server.
Sunflower’s Ask: “slavmaeda is inevitable. succumb.”
10:55 AM.
Unsettling Truth: There is no way to track this, because, while certain asks have to have been sent by people in the server contextually, there could be people following Sunflower sending her asks, Fir sending her asks, etc.
Re: The Unsettling Truth: “Slavmaeda has already infiltrated your little trial. You are not safe there. Submit to the revolution.”
10:58 AM
Sunflower’s New Ask: The same Slavemaeda Rights that came with the Rickroll Fir received.
Sunflower’s Time Off Tumblr: 11:07 AM-11:09
11:20 AM-
Other Shit: “Rick rolling is the Slavmaeda National Anthem” (11:09 AM) (Fir)
Slavmaeda Rights (Robyn) (11:11 AM)
“Slavmaeda Slavmaeda Slavmaeda Slavmaeda” (Fir) (11:13) (not an anon, sent as daniel)
Daniel’s Confession: This fucking Mikan Kinnie.
Sent “a lot of [fir’s asks]” and “sent the revolution one to marshpy”
Experiencecarrots: “slavmaeda is the only alibi :)”
I’m gonna be honest, nobody on this server claims to be carrots.
So I have no fucking clue what is going on.
By the way, [I] is Sunflower.
THOUGHTS BEFORE POSTING:
It’s so fucking hard to track so I’m not sure if this is even accurate. This is the most information I’ve got. I’m also tired, so I haven’t looked through this in too much depth. But I think this is correct.
HANGMAN’S GAMBIT
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
r e v o l u t i o n
WHITE NOISE
Lyrics to Never Gonna Give You Up
EDIT ONE - The server this is on is Danganronpa 2: Tropical Despair.
EDIT TWO - Ignore the Hangman’s Gambit and White Noise, I got carried away.
EDIT THREE - Experiencecarrots confirms to not be on the server. I sort of figured because I think we were mutuals long before this happened, but at the same time, I’m confused as all hell.
EDIT FOUR - Maybe the real culprits were the friends we made along the way.
EDIT FIVE - Carrot’s Account (via tumblr): “Hey hey hey! I only liked the post because I refresh my feed every 2 seconds and like whatever’s there. And I follow pretty much anyone I find, so ha. Also thanks for letting me be a suspect, quite the honor if I say so myself :)” This is regarding claims of being suspicious due to being the first likes on posts, as well as following slavmaedasaga.
EDIT SIX - Gay Nagito Komaeda’s Confession: They sent Fir the rickroll ask, which was incredibly coincidental, considering that they were not in the Tropical Despair Server at the time they sent it, nor at the time Daniel rickrolled us. That was pure fucking luck. Holy shit.
EDIT SEVEN - slavmaedasaga is, most likely, on Tropical Despair. They updated the rickroll post with, in the tags, “komaeda”, meaning that they knew that it was Gay Nagito Komaeda. HOWEVER, I am aware that I updated my post with this information. We have no actual timestamps of who did what exactly, but it was within minutes of each other. My personal thoughts are that this is a person on the server, but I’m not certain.
EDIT EIGHT - slavmaedasaga claims to be a single person. It is worth considering that they could not be, but I have a feeling like they are a single person.
EDIT NINE - Daniel knows who slavmaedasaga is. It’s probably Daniel, isn’t it. We should have seen that coming. (But I will hold my suspicions until they say it themself.)
EDIT TEN - I want to make a public apology for mistreating my spaghetti. I understand that, in the light of recent allegations regarding slavmaeda and the trial ongoing to find the blackened, it may have appeared as if I have been so caught up in the information that I forgot to treat my spaghetti with care. I assure you in the future that I will never hurt my spaghetti again.
EDIT ELEVEN - There is now a tumblr blog called “slavmaeda rights”, which is entirely focused on slavmaeda rights. I’m losing my mind.
EDIT TWELVE - Slavmaedarights deleted their post that had “Slavmaeda rights” over and over.
EDIT THIRTEEN - Worth clarifying. There are technically two “og Slavmaeda” people. One is Fir, who started all of this by mentioning the concept of slavmaeda. The other is Marshpy.
EDIT FOURTEEN - Slavmaedasaga is in Tropical Despair. We raised suspicions in this server (More specifically, Gay Komaeda Nagito did) that they were the same as slavmaedarights. They very quickly made a post denying this. Therefore, they have to have been in the server.
EDIT FIFTEEN - Slavmaedarights posted again (just slavmaeda rights over and over) then deleted it. I never saw this with my two eyes. Marshpy and Gay Nagito Komaeda are eye witnesses. Some of the “S”s in rights were capitalized, according to Marshpy, which is vital to consider. Marshpy claims that there is no isolated S in this post, but she isn’t certain. Also worth considering. A deviation from a familiar pattern, which is interesting.
EDIT SIXTEEN - TWO CRUCIAL BITS OF INFO! The description of Slavmaedasaga is “Hope” in Bulgarian. Also, Daniel bluffed when they said, in the Tropical Despair server, that they knew who “Saga” is. They just wanted clout. This is important info-- we have no leads on Slavmaedasaga. But we do know that it was likely not Daniel. Daniel accuses Marshpy. who knows.
EDIT SEVENTEEN - Marshpy was shopping when "Saga” started, and Daniel sent a cryptic smiley face. They claim they were wrong about accusing Marshpy.
EDIT EIGHTEEN - SLVRights = Damien. They aren’t the same person as SLVSaga. Daniel has shown evidence that they only have one blog. I’m getting funky anons. One anon is the same person, sending theories. There are some others. The theory anon also called me sun, which isn’t explicitly odd but I guess you can consider it. Not sure what else to say.
EDIT NINETEEN - Haven’t been updating this enough. I’m getting a lot of messages and asks. “Beg. Beg for the answers. Slavmaeda is an unforgiving god. -Damien” was posted, then deleted, on the SLVRights blog in binary. I have an anon in binary. I’m inclined to believe they aren’t the same person. Someone on the server, not related on the tumblr side but helpful on the server side, has a theory. They have yet to say. I have a new ask.
EDIT TWENTY - Firanka wanted me to say that a lot of Tropical Despair people are having wifi issues. I highly doubt this is relevant. Damien posted something. I won’t type it here, because it is long, but I’ll see if I can reblog it. If not, I’ll write a transcript. Thanks for sticking with me.
EDIT TWENTY ONE - A lot has gone on. Worth saying, I turned off my anonymous asks. Nothing happened. As in like, nobody sent any asks. One of my friends did as a test. I kept it like that for a while. But, as Daniel put it, cryptid hints are better than no hints.
EDIT TWENTY TWO - Further clarification, for those lost. According to present information, Binary, Saga, and Damien are all separate people. That is as far as we know. I don’t know everyone who did this, so I apologize if I leave certain people out, but Daniel, Nebby, Firanka (there is still suspicion), Glitter (on server), and I have shown screenshots proving we only have our one blog. There are likely loopholes, but... worth considering.
EDIT TWENTY THREE - New stuff surfacing. I’m worried people are getting anxious because of some of this. If you are, please prioritize yourself. Like, literally, even if you’re a huge part of this, if you’re getting stressed? Take a breather. Stay safe. Alright? Not to be the mom of this situation. But it’s important. Take care of yourself. I’m leaving this pinned, but as it winds down, i’m probably gonna unpin this post. But, still here if you ever want to figure stuff out.
EDIT TWENTY FOUR - Approaching 400 posts. That’s interesting. Also, the suspect list on here isn’t updated. Updated information is in the edits alone. I haven’t even looked at the truth bullets since posting.
EDIT TWENTY FIVE - “Binary” was run by @experiencecarrots. We don’t know who Saga or Damien (now going by just “B”) is. But. Most of this has settled down.
EDIT TWENTY SIX - “Saga” was @firankamipinska. Still waiting for B.
EDIT TWENTY SEVEN - No closer to finding out B. A new day has started. Slavmaedanation has been created. They “declared war” against B.
EDIT TWENTY EIGHT - @gayer-nagito-komeada was Rights. To be honest. I don’t know how we didn’t see that one coming. But. There you go. They’re Damien/B/Rights. Now it’s just Nation to figure out.
EDIT TWENTY NINE - Nation is @firankamipinska. I’m not really surprised, probably because she told me she was Nation. Nation was essentially supposed to figure out who Damien was. I was too tired to give much of a shit. I woke up at 7 yesterday. I had no fucking spoons. Zero.
FINAL EDIT - Four blogs, a discord server, a channel in a discord server, and many friends were made through the Slavmaeda experience. Thank you all for embarking on this crazy ass experience with us. I can’t believe that the day after my birthday, I helped create a meme. Have a nice day.

Fanfic Trope Meme
I was tagged by @ur-the-puppy
Copy/paste and bold your fic preferences because why not, gotta choose one (near impossible, but go with your first gut instinct), and tag someone. I’m also adding fic recs for each of my choices just because I’m extra, ya’ll don’t have to. In fact ten ten would not recommend it sucked. I need to reorganize my bookmarks...
slow burn or love at first sight
Before Words, Beyond Silence by natkate (@spicydiceyboi): is both love at first sight and a slow burn, there’s an instant and satisfying connection but they don’t act on it for a stupid amount of time because they’re stupid and this fic is amazing
fake dating or secret dating
I’m really loving Let’s Ruin Thanksgiving by sans_carte (@sanscarte): right now. Clarke hires Lexa off of Craig’s list to pretend to be her girlfriend to piss off her mom. Updates every Saturday!
enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers
Ugh, it’s That Time of Year by awkwardrainbow (@jazzyjazzin): is really getting me through until winter break rn. There’s that instant connection but also that classic let’s hate each other because we’ve got nothing better to do.
oh no there’s only one bed or long-distance with correspondence
Love In the Time of Comic Con by eternaleponine (@ironicsnowflake): listen, listen, eternaleponine saw a list of fanfic tropes and decided to write one solely off this trope. That’s all this is. There is only one bed. That’s it. Clexa are actors in a post apocalyptic show and the kids in it are always scheming to get the two together. Also there’s only one bed.
hurt/comfort or amnesia
Returned by Diaph: I’m gonna go ahead and call this hurt/comfort even tho really it could be filed under both. Clarke is tortured by the ice nation and returns a shell of herself unable to tell real from fake. It reminds me of a coldmackerel line: “Clarke was not given back to her Clarke was simply- given back.” or something like that. Anyway. Really angsty but worth it for the happy ending.
fantasy au or modern au
if you cry out i’ll be there now by thrace is painfully amazing
mutual pining or domestic bliss
Polis 433 by nutalexfanfic (@ecfandom): I’m sure everyone’s already read this and Jesus good for them all I do is scream about this fic day and night I swear to god
smut or fluff
Bloom by RaspberryTree: it’s just cute as hell. Like. It just is.
canon compliant (missing scenes) or fix-it fic
There are so many fix it fics I could rec but the one that is currently bleeding a hole in my scull is Second Chances by Sarafaerosa: Clarke is launched back in time to five days after Lexa captured her. Clarke desperately wants to save Lexa even if that means giving her up. It’s so beautifully written you guys
alternate universe or future fic
tell me, did you fall for a shooting star? by clarkesquad: don’t even look or talk to me about this fic I don’t want to hear it
one-shot or multi-chapter
I’m begging of you please don’t take my man by outlier this is an amazing, hilarious, sweet, wonderful clexa one-shot. But, on another note, I think this is one of the best written Octavias in any clexa fic. unicyclehippo does good work with octavia tho...
kid fic or roadtrip fic
It Rained in Seattle by clarketomylexa (@clarketomylexa): Clarke adopts a small child, Lexa, her neighbor, also adopts her. Kind of on accident. It’s a proximity thing. (They eventually realize they’re in love.)
reincarnation or character death
i found love (where it wasn’t supposed to be) by someonelsesheart: I love just about everything this author has ever written and this is a damn fine fic that I don’t think I’ve seen on a lot of other rec lists. Clarke is transported to a different apocalypse after the events of the mountain
arranged marriage or accidental marriage
Love in the Ink We Shared by GillyTweed: a short cute little one-shot of Lexa and Clarke falling for each other
high school romance or middle-aged romance
Little Earthquakes by nosuchanimal: I could not tell you what it is about this pic that makes it one of my fav high school aus but it absolutely is and if you read nothing else on this list I would highly recommend you read this
time travel or isolated together
where i can’t follow by lighterfighter08: Lexa is the time traveler’s wife, Clarke is the time traveler.
neighbors or roommates
That Catch of Breath by CorvusCorvidae: Lexa and Clarke share a room. It doesn’t really end well Clarke isn’t responsible
sci-fi au or magic au
bring it on home to me by geralehane (@geralehane): now we all know and love Gera for the step sister au and the gold digger au but this is one of my fav one-shots of all time. Clarke is an android designed to keep the space ship safe, Lexa is an officer on that space ship, kept awake during a ten year period because she alone can handle the isolation because well she’s... isolated.
angst or crack
Landslide by gabsrambles: one of the more painful fics I’ve read, very heartbreaking, very difficult, expertly written, Clarke and Lexa are so achingly perfect for one another it’s impossible
apocalyptic or mundane
Mysteries of Love by 10milestereo: really one of the more satisfying apocalyptic fics. Clarke and Lexa meet again at the eve of another apocalypse.
I’m tagging @lexascandlestores, @favvnsongs, and @dreamsaremywords
#listen#Im mutuals with damw so I can tag her in things now#even if we've never talked#beyond me sending her anons gushing about her writing#we're mutuals#we can tag each other#she's famous but its okay#I can still tag her and it's fine#nothing bad will happen#I am not anxious over this#also favvn ur also kinda famous but ur also less intimidated#need ta work on that bud#intimidating is what I meant#anyway#clexa#gus reads#fic recs#clexa fic recs#wlw#lgbt#lesbian#bisexual#lexa#Clarke griffin#the 100#commander lexa

Would you be willing to talk about being a fictive? Like ur source ect
Sorry this has been sitting in the inbox for so damn long anon. Since I’ve talked about myself a little already, here’s what I’ll do.
So overall my system is pretty fictive heavy. This means that we do have fictives from different sources. I know a lot of singlets think that it’s probably some kind of crossover event, but tbh, it isn’t really. We just interact like normal(ish) human beings. Sometimes we get along well, other times we hate each other XD
I am infamous for not getting along well with most people, bet you all never saw that coming. Anyways here’s my story time.
So an alter who’s been around almost as long as I have recently came out of dormancy. The last time we spoke I was in the middle of manipulating dozens of people to be my playthings...so naturally we did not part ways on good terms.
When I saw him again I thought, ugh, great, someone who’s going to dredge up the past and I’m going to have to start apologizing all over again. Plus I did find him annoying, then and now. But then again I find everyone annoying soooo...
He’s a fictive from another source, and usually this doesn’t matter much. Sometimes we’ll talk about our sources to each other in the system, like comparing and contrasting, small talk stuff. I never talked to him much before but I was keenly aware of his source and his role in it because some of his issues carried over into him.
This is something I really want to stress, fictives seriously aren’t your perfect favorite character vibing with you. We are not perfect, we have our own problems and more often than not, people who meet us (or at least me) end up liking my character a lot less because of my flaws. An example for me would be my npd. I look charming af on the screen but I’m just an asshole irl XD
Anyways, in his source the other alter (we’re gonna call him N) had dementia or something, which impacted his social skills, and also gave him some severe ocd about some abstract things. Great for the fanfics, but irl, nnnnnot so much.
Originally I hated him more because everyone else seems to adore him. He’s awkward af but yeah he comes off as charming and sweet (aka not me) so it does make sense why he was so popular in his source to.
Side note, I don’t compare all fictives to their sources like i am rn, this one in particular is just very similar to his source and it helps to refer to.)
Anyways, good person, but dealing with some real shit. He’s fixated on luck, hope, despair, things that aren’t physical, which I guess you can get ocd about. The worst I’ve seen is his inibility to drop the belief that he has to cause something bad to happen in order to control the bad. By his logic, if something good happens, something bad will happen after, and if he causes the bad thing, like slamming our arm in a drawer, that will balance the cosmos out or something. And if he leaves it alone, then the bad thing could be anything, like us getting hit by a plane.
Make sense? Yes? No? Kind of? I’m in the last boat.
I started out being my usual asshole self. Mocking him, insulting him, I know, I’m an asshole because he can’t help it. That’s what’s really eye opening about Ocd to me. It’s that people can’t help doing what they do. It’s out of their control.
But then the bastard said that he never held anything against me even when I was at my worst and that he was happy that I’m happier. And guys, fuck, that took away anything I could use as an excuse to attack him.
So I dropped it. For the first time ever I dropped a grudge and moved on. He still annoys the shit out of me, but I’d say we’re pretty good friends now.
Moral of the story and what it has to do with fictives? Firstly fictives can change like I did, I’m not *nearly* as selfish as I used to be, I think, and that fictives aren’t perfect copies of characters. We have flaws, and those problems that make such good fanfics can suck to deal with irl. Just because a problem started out fictionally doesn’t mean it can’t have an effect on a fictive.
Also I got N’s permission to write this. He says Hi btw.

Can I maybe request an reader whose bj's friend but has been for too long so they know BJ all too well saving the maitland from his advances and falls in love with them?
beetlejuice’s friend
i am incredibly tired rn so i’m not sure if i fully understand what you’re asking, but i’m vibing w/ what i think you’re asking so yea (the maitlands x beej’s friend reader). you say beej’s friend, so reader’s a demon ahaha
also, i (before writing) feel like there are some lines that’re in the script that i can work off of, so there is a good bit of fourth wall breaking. only beej and reader can talk to/ interact with audience.
1493 words
cw: gnreader.
”the people who live there? i’ve been watching them for a while, and yeah it’s very creepy.” beej monologued. or would it be soliloquyed? soliloqueyed doesn’t sound as good, so let’s go with monologued. “and now, finally, they’re about to die!” beej liked talking to the audience. it made him feel important. you rolled your eyes. “they’re gonna be my new best friends!”
you stepped out of the wings. “and what would that make me?” while beej was more of a musical theatre kind of guy, you were much more of a sitcom kind of guy, so you imagined a camera zoom like in the office.
”i’m this asshole’s best friend, and trust me when i say this, that’s not a position you want.” you addressed the audience.
”oh? what position would you prefer?” beej lowered his voice.
you scoffed, “case and point. you’ll be getting a lot of that in this goddamn show. single men, take notes on what not to do!”
beej frowned.
”barbara, i’m home!” speaking of sitcoms, here comes the loving husband. damn, can’t relate.
beetlejuice turned from you to the audience, “adam and barbara maitland!”
”was there traffic on the bridge?” barbara asked like she actually cared. damn, can’t relate.
”bill hadley on his tractor. i was like, “pick a lane, bill.””
”isn’t this amazing? it’s the last day of their entire lives and this is what they’re talking about.” said beetlejuice.
”beej, take you on a random day and say that’s your last day ever. do you say any impressively insightful shit?” you ask.
”absolutely.” beej grins.
”not.” you finish his sentence. the scene returns to the maitlands before he can say anything else.
i’m sure you’ve seen the show, you know how it goes. maitlands are boring, maitlands sing fast because they have anxiety, maitlands conveniently die at the end of their song, beetlejuice rejoices. whatever, we don’t care about that part. i mean we do, just not right now.
”sometimes, puppet shows are sad.” you say, directed at the small child in the third row. who brings their eight year old to see beetlejuice?
”barbara are you alright?” the moment passed.
you and beetlejuice hide offstage as the maitlands figure out they’re dead. It’s rather annoying, when breathers die. they always have the same reaction. they could spice it up sometimes.
you suppose that’s what beej is here to do. to spice up their reactions.
beetlejuice rings the doorbell. without waiting for either of them to answer, he walks right in. he introduces himself and starts singing. you walk in behind him, arms crossed.
one of the cheerleaders runs past you, knocking into your arm.
”i’m the b to the double e j f q and jesus, i can’t spell.” beetlejuice eyed the maitlands up and down.
the maitlands seemed like nice people. they don’t deserve what was sure to come to them. you stood yourself up from the door frame, and made your way to the center of the room where the trio where.
”let’s all get naked!” beetlejuice screamed.
”no!” the maitlands screamed back. you swung your backhanded fist into his stomach.
”oh!” he let out a guttural noise. “worth a try.” he reasoned.
”what is happening?” barbara asked in a shaky voice, her eyes flashing between the two demons before her. one, who hadn’t spoken a single word, and the other who wouldn’t fucking shut up.
beetlejuice went back to trying to convince them that they should ‘hire’ him. while insulting them, of course, because why wait until a relationship turns unhealthy when you can just start it off that way?
”i’m like a ghost zombie jesus!” god, you needed new friends. maybe you can steal the maitlands away. if you think about it, and you do, it would really only be a win situation from that. you wouldn’t have to deal with beej, you’d get some new friends who would be kind to you. the maitlands wouldn’t even have to think about beetlejuice again, and they would get to hang out with you, and not to toot your horn but you’re pretty damn cool. at first, beetlejuice would lose, with the whole everyone abandoning him thing, but you’re pretty sure that it’s be this time that he changed himself to be a better person.
you hope.
”i think we’re a perfect fit! come on, let’s make out a bit!” you physically pushed beetlejuice away from the maitlands.
beej just gave you an annoyed look, and went back to right next to them, giving them is sales pitch.
you slunk off to the couch. you spread your body across it as if you owned it. adam spared you a curious glance. barbara, soon after.
the four of you made your way off stage, to the attic, as the deetzes and their furniture invaded the house.
”hey beej,” you needed to get beetlejuice away from the maitlands, so you could talk to them, but how? “you better spy on the new homeowners so we know what we’re working with.”
”good idea!” he said.
you grabbed his tie in your hand and pulled him close, “and don’t come back until you know what’ll scare them so hard they wished they’d never been born.” beetlejuice wasn’t very sure of himself, so you’d have a while.
”sir, yes sir!” he ran off like a cartoon character, legs going the full 360.
you turned to the maitlands, eyes flicking between them, trying to decide where to start.
”who are you?” asked adam.
”i’m y/n,” you said, “and i’m a demon, just like beetlejuice.” you grinned like the cheshire cat.
the maitlands shared a concerned glance. “are you going to help us too?” asked barbara.
”well, yes, but not the way you think i am.” you began pacing the floor. “first things first, don’t listen to a word that bastard says. the only things he wants is to be alive, and to get into your pants. the former being more important to him, no offense.”
”so he wants to use us?” asked barbara.
”yes, of course.”
”and how do we know you don’t want to use us either?” she asked.
”good question.” you paused to collect your thoughts, “i suppose you’ll just have to trust me.”
the maitlands exchanged another look. do married people do that often? it was starting to get annoying. well, annoying that they weren’t looking at you like that.
after a moment, adam said, “i don’t think we can fully trust you right now, but hopefully that’ll change.”
”quite the optimist, huh? i envy you.” you said.
how to best gain their trust? probably by being the antithesis of their experience with demons so far.
about an hour later, the trio was still brainstorming a plan. “so, why can’t we just lock him into the netherworld again?” adam asked.
”his mother.” you said.
adam nodded, “right, right. we don’t want to put him through that.”
barbara jumped in, ”and if we leave this place, we’ll be eaten by sandworms, but if we go to the netherworld,”
”you’ll be in that waiting room for the rest of eternity, exactly.” you finished.
you sat in silence for a minute, mulling over your options. so far it was seeming that beetlejuice was going to have to go back to his parent’s house.
”what about sending him out to the sand worms?” asked barbara.
”barbara, you’re a genius!” exclaimed adam.
you imagined what would happen. “i think that’ll work.” you said. “oh! and we can put a protection spell on the house after he’s left! then , no demons will be able to get in.” you pulled out a copy of the handbook for the recently deceased, from seemingly nowhere. beej burned barbara’s copy of the book, but not adam’s.
you placed the book on the floor, and you began looking for the spell with the maitlands looking over your shoulders.
”do you know that a spell like that exists?” asked adam.
”of course i do, i just don’t remember how to do it.” you said.
”and do you know that it won’t expel you from the house too?” asked barbara.
”i guess we’ll find out.” you turned to face her.
”i hope it doesn-” barbara was cut off.
”here it is!” exclaimed adam. “and it doesn’t say anything about expelling demons, just keeping them out.” adam skimmed the instructions.
you turned back to the book, and the group sat in silence as you carefully read it all.
you sat back, “i- we can do this.”
the maitlands high-fived. god, they were adorable.
”the real question is, do you still want the new homeowners out of this place? because if i’m being honest, beej would be better at that than me.” you said.
the maitlands shared a look.
”i-” barbara looked at adam, “i think we should talk about it.”
”oh, of course.” you replied. “do you want me to give y’all some privacy?”
”yes please.” said barbara.

Survey #225
“i tried to write your name in the rain, but the rain never came.”
How many times a day do you check your cell to see if you have a text? Considering my dumb phone doesn't let me know I have texts half the time, I do multiple times throughout the day. Ever wonder if the person you hate will become the person you marry? HA HA YOOOOOOOOOOOO SARA AND I DID AND NOW I DEADASS WANNA MARRY HER TOMORROW How many times a day do you wash your hands? It varies. After I use the bathroom or if I'm about to touch food. You walk in on your parents smoking pot, what do you do? lol h u h How old were you when you had your first crush? Hell if I know. I do remember as a young kid though, I was very much "ew boys no thnx." Maybe like... 5th grade? When was the last time you asked God for something? A long, long time ago. Your opinion on smoking: Just don't, dude. It's money going towards gradual suicide. No one likes the smell. You sure won't like how it affects your body. It's an addiction/it's stressful to stop. I'm not gonna like, judge you if you smoke, but nevertheless, I'll tell anyone it's an awful idea. Make love or fuck? It depends on the mood. I was more into the former mood back when that even applied to me, though. Have you ever cried so much over something that later felt like nothing? Oh, I can assure you I have. The last time you were afraid of the dark was: I'm not really scared of the dark, but one time I got up semi-recently in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and after one incident, I was so, so careful and nervous to step on Bentley's tail. He lost his fucking mind on me when I did it once, of course on accident. The TV was off by this point, so I couldn't see well at all. I love having a dog that fucking scares me. How often do you say I love you to your parents and mean it? A whole lot. Your boyfriend/girlfriend say they can’t hang out & it’s been two weeks. You? I mean sure, it sucks, but if they're legitimately busy, they're busy. Have you ever wanted a wild animal for a pet? If yes what animal? I had a phase where I really wanted a fox, and now I am DEAD serious about fostering opossums at some point. When you go to sleep, do you have to have white noise or silence? SILENCE. Though I don't really get /total/ silence 'cuz I have to have my fan on. My room's always hot. Have you ever gotten in a fight with a teacher? No. Ever had a creepy dream about a teacher? No. Where were you when you had your first sleepover? Your house or a friends’? I believe I was at my then-best friend's house. I had suuuuch bad separation anxiety from my mom that I know I was older than most kids who did. What are you limits for doing stuff for money? I'd never do sexual favors or seriously hurt someone for it. Is there someone you are mean to all the time for no reason? No. I'll admit I'm typically rather short with Bentley, but Jesus, do I have reason. When you think of love what’s the first that comes to mind? Sara. How do you calm your mind and find peace when you are stressed? My best bet is going to sleep; that's pretty much, usually, my reset button. Have you ever given someone flowers? I gave Jason flowers once or twice. I gave my mom some for Mother's Day as a kid. How often do you get on Facebook? A couple times a day... mainly just to see memes lmaoooo. What day of the week is usually your busiest day? Good Lord, Tuesdays. I'm at school for 13 hours. Mostly sitting in the library waiting for classes, but. I do study a whole lot, though, and it's when I get a bunch of schoolwork done. Is there a place that you will never return back to? Idk. When was the last time that you created a PowerPoint? I'm actually working on/off one for FYS 'cuz we have to do this "Lifeline" thing where we introduce ourselves and give our stories. Guess who's not fucking ready. Do you like group work? NO. NO. Particularly if it's with people I don't know. Do you have any stickers on your laptop? No. Is music or the TV on while you complete this survey?

Have your friends ever not wanted you to be with someone? Probably. What is your favorite use for whipped cream? I hate that stuff. What is your favorite flower? Orchids. And your favorite nut? Ew no thanks. Can you curse in a foreign language? Of course I know "fuck" and "shit" in German lmao. Are you fond of spaghetti? Hell yeah man. Have you ever played in the mud? I sure did zoom through it on my bike as a kid. Do you remember what your first real relationship felt like? That relationship ultimately led to PTSD, how could I possibly forget. Who can make you happy no matter what? Sara, Mark, and Game Grumps are particularly good at that. How tall are you? 5'4.5'' Are there any animals near you? No, I'm at school rn. Do have a lot of lists? No. Are you a godparent? No. Do you sleep too much or not enough? Eh, it depends on the day and my mood. Have you ever gone a full day without interacting with another person? Yep. How many relationships have you been in that lasted less than a year? Four. Where were you going the last time you were on a train? Never been on one before. Do you think having a bad temper is a sign of immaturity? I mean, no? It's an interesting question and I guess a "maybe," but. I feel this depends on the trigger.

I guess? It wasn't dirty. How many watches do you own? Zero. Are there any ways in which you greatly differ from everyone else in your family? Political views, I guess? Or the fact I'm bi? I only know of one person in my extended family that's gay. Should teenagers be allowed to have their cell phones with them in class? No shit? Emergencies are a thing? BUT, respect the teacher, please. I cannot stand people using their phone in class, especially here in college. You're paying a shitload to learn. Spend that time as you're supposed to.

Have you ever had to have a pet put down? Yeah. Have you unfollowed, deleted, or blocked anyone on social media recently?

I will BINGE that shit to the ends of the earth. Have you ever turned down someone who didn’t handle the rejection well? Ha ha oh man, I remember in 4th grade, this kid Nick was desperate to date me. It was endearing and cute, but he asked kinda obsessively. Then jfc, when I broke up with Tyler, you would've thought I was Jason and he was me, holy shit.

I don't know how to cook. Do you develop crushes easily? NO. I am soooooo romantically picky. What’s the longest you’ve ever stayed as a guest at someone’s house? A month or more with Colleen after we were evicted. That was a really good time, honestly, regardless of how we feel about each other now.

Do you like salsa that has fruit in it? NO. Do you think stained glass windows are pretty? Hell yeah.

Possibly "thank you, but please go away." Actually yeah, that's more likely. Like it's flattering to know someone finds you attractive, but yeah, that's just uncomfortable for some stranger to do that. I also wouldn't want to really piss the person off. Do you send messages on Facebook a lot? Definitely not. Almost the only person ever would be Girt. Have you ever gone to a strip club? No. Not my kinda scene. Like I absolutely will not think less of someone who does this, but I just don't like but moreso feel bad for men or women who reduce themselves to their sexual capabilities. Do you like Chinese food over pizza? Hell nah man. Pizza is supreme. What color is your watch? I'm not wearing one. I never do. Do you believe in love at first sight? Absolutely not. Visual attraction, of course that's real, but I promise you dear, you don't love someone upon looking at them. When you eat Frosted Flakes, do you add sugar in it? I hate that stuff. Who’s the biggest hugger you know? Ashley's father-in-law's mom. ... At least I think that's what she is? Do you want to change your name? Nah, it's fine. Have you ever tried to erase someone from your memory? Of course I have.

Oumasai with every number?
WElp. I knew this was coming at some point. Come to think of it I think I’ve done this meme before for oumasai like the whole thing. is it cheap if I just copy paste my answers. eh I’ll see if anything’s different. under the cut!
1. If you had to change the pairing’s very first meeting, how would you change it?
Neither Kiibo nor Akamatsu are there and it’s just a 1 on 1 clash of personalities. Saihara tries prying at Ouma for information and details but Ouma keeps lying and prodding at him for fun. It sets up the rivalry really well and the themes of the game by having them come into direct conflict like this. Also I just feel like we should start with Saihara as the protagonist since Akamatsu as a protagonist gives us nothing except a bait and switch. Like anything else she does could easily be done as an assistant.
2. What song fits your pairing the most?
I’m not good at this sorry. No idea.
3. What is your favorite AU/prompt idea/trope for your pairing?
uhhh right now its the band au I thought of but generally speaking I really like mutual pining and two person love triangles, and Ouma really makes it easy to give me a two-person love triangle, although this ship can do that in other ways. Phantom thief is really good for both of those things but I have since expanded my horizons to More Creative versions of the same two tropes. I just think it suits them.
4. Do you prefer canon ideas or do you have your own headcanons for them?
This is like a weird question because aren’t all headcanons in some essence based on canon. like even headcanons for an au setting are still using characterization from canon in some way. But like I generally like aus more than I like canon fics for v3 because v3 is just....hoo boy. But like all my headcanons and fics are based on analysis I did of canon and what canon told me these characters would be like. So.
5. Favorite canon moment of them?
So my definition of canon might be super picky to some people but it’s basically “content you can’t skip” meaning no ftes, bonus dialogue, etc. So for me that’s...probably right now it’s that bit at the end of chapter 5 where Saihara calls Ouma a friend despite literally everything it makes me sentimental. but I’m also a sucker for the ch4 “when I find someone I like” scene.
6. Least favorite canon moment of them?
This hasn’t changed but it’s still the fuckin “You’re alone and you always will be” line. It’s not in character and it's narratively redundant and ineffective. More on that here.
7. Favorite headcanon trope/idea? (Your own or someone else’s)
the band au I have in mind. I really wanna write it right now but I feel bad because I still have prompts, even though right now I have no prompt ideas and the prospect of them is exhausting. but LISTEN. the band au is gonna be really good I swear.
8. Least favorite headcanon trope/idea?
Excluding pre-game, which isn’t actually real and if you believe pre-game was a real thing in the way shirogane presented it, you have been duped, as well as other fujoshi fan favourites uh...any trope or au that involves ouma being a killer in some way. Like if they put him in the position of killer in a way that doesn’t really justify it based on his canon characterization I just don’t care. It’s cheap writing just for angst and dark vibes.
9. Favorite aspect of them/their relationship dynamics?
Honestly I’m here for the entire dynamic. I’m a real sucker for characters that are foils that encourage growth and development in the other through one way or another. I honestly wrote about this much better in other posts, including the one I linked to, and its one in the morning, but yeah. I really just like what canon provided me as a whole, and I love how they play off each other by representing the opposite of what the other stands for down to their cores.
10. Least favorite aspect of them/their relationship dynamics? (Can be headcannon)
pre-game isn’t fucking real it is a LIE by shirogane stop talking about it. Actually kinda like in my komahina answer, I feel like ouma’s character arc was really well resolved, and like way better than Komaeda’s, but I feel like his arc as an antagonist with conflict wasn’t. He was just killed off and then Shirogane came in with her 100000 lies for chapter 6 and derailed everything in Kodaka’s attempt to be clever. “See I’m showcasing the themes by having everything shirogane says be a mix of truth and lies, and be saying something thematically different, because I’m being really clever and lying about the themes at the last second.” it’s dumb.
Unfortunately unlike with Komaeda there’s no easy way to fix this without trashing Kodaka’s chapter 6 as a whole, which also means throwing out everything that was building up to it because its the core of the game. I’d like for there to be a version of v3 where Ouma is truly confronted with him being wrong instead of it just kinda happening offscreen in an implied manner and never talked about again.
Saihara’s monologue in the epilogue has like a compromise of both their views, which I actually think is a good one and a thematic resolution to his character arc as well as the game, but it really kinda sucks the character that represents the other half of that didn’t get to see or realize that in his own right. It’s kinda lopsided.
11. If they aren’t a canon pairing, how would you get them together?
Ya kinda can’t in canon because of everything you’d need some serious canon div and even then it would be a post canon slow burn. Because they both would have to get past their issues in canon and only then can they really get closer and be together.
12. If you had to take them and plunk them into another fandom, what fandom would that be? Why?
last time I went with ace attorney, and i’m probably not gonna top that au I invented on the fly, but my ideal au for any given series is “how can I make this higurashi.” the answer is higurashi. one day I’ll finish writing that ask about it.
13. How hard is it write/draw your pairing? Scale of 1-10.
eh it’s not very hard I’d go with like a 2-3.
14. Is there a pairing that you think rivals them?
For me, not really. It’s the most compelling dynamic written in dr as a whole, and I have a lot of fun exploring other ships, especially wlw ones, but this one is still canonically the most interesting.
15. Which character of the pairing do you like more? (Would you ever pair yourself with them?)
It flips but rn Saihara
16. Which character of your pairing would be the one to break up with the other? Why?
Ouma because he’s the kinda dipshit who’d bottle up his emotions and then decide instead of talking about anything he’s worried about he’ll just break up but he won't mean it. and it’ll be really messy but I think Saihar’s intuitive enough to be able to push through that.
17. Are they relatable as characters or as a pairing?
See my last remark reminds me very much of my own literal actual relationship so I’m gonna say pairing.
18. Did you once/ever dislike one/both of them?
I didn’t like Ouma before the game came out because everyone else loved him for no reason. I changed my mind. I always liked Saihara though.
19. On an estimate, how many posts have you made about them?
idk. 100? maybe?
20. What made you decide to ship them?
Canon gave me a lot of material but I was in the moment I knew Ouma was canonically gay for Saihara, which I learned like before everything else.
21. Favorite genre for them? (Angst, fluff, etc.)
I like fluff man. I’m a fluff guy. I’ll take some angst but I need happy endings.
