Arcane Episode 6 Immediate Thoughts

Spoilers

-Give me the doomed Jayvik content, I'm ready. Jayce is an off the wall murderer hell bent on destroying Arcane and Viktor is the new Herald of the Arcane.

-Viktor is a full on magical girl transformation dimension. The floating and glowing, start patterns, glowing hair.

-Huh

-So Viktor is straight up God?

-This Caitlyn training scene is dope

-OOOH they're gonna go to Viktor to cure Vander. Thats a cool way to tie all these stories together. I wonder if any of them will recognize Viktor. Did Caitlyn or Jayce tell Vi about him?

-Look at Jinx's face, she does not give a fuck about Vi and Hucks stand off.

-Man the council didn't know shit, Viktor should have been in charge this whole time.

-Man Jayce is gonna show up and destroy it. 🥺

-HAHAHAHAHA VIKTOR IS SO JESUS, the long hair, the robe, the staff.

-Viktor has his original eye color in the Hexcore universe.

-cookie

-Even Jinx knows Viktor is a straight up snack.

-Fortune cookies are canon? What Americanized Chinese food restaraunt is Jinx going to? Is there a Panda Express in Zaun?

-Viktors Steel Oasis is realized

-Oh hey it's the kind of plant that he experimented on the hexcore with

-So is this real Sky and we were all wrong in thinking the Hexcore was just using her image?

-Does this take several days? How long is it taking Jayce to come to the undercity? He seemed in a hurry when we last saw him.

-I don't care if these animatic style visuals are the result of a mismanaged budget. Arcane's 2d music video style visuals are so good when you aren't being told they are just for cost saving.

-"We"

-This is nice, this is what I wanted for Thor and Loki

-Singed has a Vander tracking compass. Like the Vampire compass in Vampire Diaries.

-Does Caitlyn know the Herald is Viktor? How will she react?

-Ooh the Singed-Viktor reunion!

-Why is Viktors voice more metallic than before?

-"Evolution has a destination" I mean technically no, you're a scientist Viktor c'mon. Thats a common misconception.

-GLORIOUS EVOLUTION MENTIONED

-And he had the voice distortion when he said it, this is the desire of the Hexcore not of him?

-Is Viktor dating a ghost?

-OH DAMN, the Caitvi reunion is a violent one. Not looking good for the Caitvi stans, or the future of this ship. They're doing a Catradora.

-Caitlyn is a dictator who is offended by being called a mongoose, and by her ex-gfs new style. Be glad she didn't get bangs Caitlyn.

-"Cupcake"

-Ambessa eating an entire raw meat hunk with her hands.

-Oh damn, the betrayal.

-HOLY SHIT JAYCE, ITS HAPPENING, IM NOT READY!

-The music, is this the start of the inevitable end of a three episode arc music montage fight scene that cuts between the plot points while a pop-rock song plays?

-SPIT ON HER

-Oh no, this is the sweet conversation that happens to make everything happy so they can rip it away by killing one of the characters isn't it? Is Isha gonna die soon?

-OH, the Caitvi reveal! Caitlyn did a good! Nice. All it took was to be in her ex-gfs presence one more time and she completely flipped. Poor Maddie.

-The blind fold is kinda kinky tbh

-is Caitlyn gonna see Jayce? Will they talk? Has Caitlyn seen Viktor?

-Now Jayce has a leg brace, my how the turn tables. I little ableist maybe that a leg brace is used to show who is powerless in the dynamic but still.

-I wish we knew more about what Jayce went through, or how long the time skip is, to have context. C'mon writers what was it?

-Once again Jayce is about to nuke a child with the Hex Hammer

-Is Jayce gonna come be healed?!

-The come to Jesus music when he goes to meet Viktor.

-Viktor is the Avatar, or a Jedi

-Caitlyn will be saved by Jinx! Will this cause another snap change in her alignment. Who knows!

-Its honestly shocking this is the first time someone has tried just grabbing her uber long hair in a fight.

-JAYCE NUKED VIKTOR!

-IS HE DEAD! MY BLORBO! JAYCE YOU BITCH!

-UNREAL

-Vander is crying lava?

-No Viktor Jayce is the reason your commune failed.

-Jinx crying on the floor after being struck by a loved one like when she was a child.

-Aw this is cute

-Isha better not die, don't you dare show. Don't you DARE.

-They did!

-They killed Viktor and Isha in one episode, Now Caitlyn is just chill with both Vi and Jinx, why. Awful. How dare they. First genuinely bad episode.

Final thoughts: AAAAAAAAAH! I'm actually mad. They killed Isha, they killed Viktor. Both in dumb and unnessecary ways. Jayce's motivations have not been explored in any depth or meaningful way this season which would justify the story move. I was fully ready to call this a flawed but good show till the second half of this episode. I think this arc release will genuinely divide the fandom. Beginning of the end. Oof. Sorry boys. Arcane is Fumbled.

Let me in the writers room, I just wanna talk.

[dehliadelights]

Lyric is rambling about Epic the musical whauh woah

spoilers read more just in case you havent heard it yet. also trigger warning for typical greek mythology references like rape, torture, ect.

Not Sorry For Loving You

I'm not a fan of this song! I've never been a fan of the slow romantic songs in the musical, and I never particularly liked Love in Paradise either so. But I do like the parallels between the two songs, and Calypso's story is one that facinates me because she was punished for assisting her father Atlas and the other Titans during the Titan war. She's literally doomed by the narrative.

Dangerous

Sad in the start, reminecent of Full Speed Ahead, but with the sadder, more melancholic instrumental that would fit with The Underworld. When Hermes enters with "All you have to do is not open this bag", it's a direct parallel to Aeolus' in Keep Your Friends Close, which leads to Odysseus bring betrayed by his crew, but now it's just Ody alone.

Odysseus sounds so tired, like he's a man being beaten down at every turn, but his voice perks up when Hermes arrives; The last time Hermes showed up, he gave Odysseus the Moly flower to drain Circe's power, which lead to his victory. There's a spark of hope in his tone, and that's clear.

Odysseus sounds mostly more awake and like himself as he speaks with Hermes, who's his usual silly (/pos) self. Hermes' whole demeaner is a bit more serious than it was in Wouldn't You Like, with less of his jokes and general humor, he's giggling but it feels like he's laughing almost out of pity for Odysseus, the man who's been beaten down so badly.

"Well, it's a little bit dangerous, my friend, you'll need a mindset change for this, you cannot get away with safe, for this, you wanna get home? Put it all on the line"

Hermes is trying to tell Odysseus that he needs to leave his regrets and his guilt behind in order to succeed, that in order to get home, he needs to basically wipe the blood from his hands. He needs to be smart, clever, quick, like he was when he fought the Trojans, like when he tricked Polyphemus to drink wine with lotus in it. But he also needs to be merciless, be ruthless.

Hermes tells Odysseus to follow the North Star, which serves as a guiding factor for many sailors. The North Star is part of the Constellation Ursa Minor, and in Greek Mythology, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor refer to the story of Callisto and her son Arcas. In some version in the myth, Callisto was a follower of Artemis, Maiden Goddess of the Hunt, though was raped by Zeus (disguised as Artemis). This caused Callisto to break Artemis' Celibacy rule, and she was turned into a bear (In varying versions of the Myth, it can be by Hera, out of jealousy, Zeus, to placate Hera's rage, or Artemis, out of anger of Callisto breaking the celibacy rule). She gave birth to her son Arcas, who grew up to be a hunter himself, which eventually lead him to find his mother as a bear and attempt to kill her, thinking she was a wild bear. Before she could die, either Zeus or Artemis decided to turn Callisto and Arcas into constellations, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor. This really doesn't have anything to do with the song, but I just really like sharing my Greek Mythology brainrot. Also it's another tale of the gods ruining the lives of their followers.

Anyways, Hermes directs Odysseus to follow the North Star without hesitation, to fight any monsters that attack, and then we get to the wind bag!

Hermes says "Keep the bag closed if you wanna get home, sir", reminding Odysseus of the fact that he was alone now, that he was the only one that he could trust, and the Winions make their return, the melody and tone a direct, albiet more melancholic reference to Keep Your Friends Close. The Winions sing "It was meant to stop you by design" as a reference to Poseidon's storm, which he'd created with the desire to kill Odysseus for harming his son.

Odysseus regains his typical confidence and hubris by now, and sings that "I'm gonna use ruthlessness" as a direct callback to Poseidon's song from the Ocean saga, Ruthlessness. In the end, Odysseus thanks Hermes as he did back during Wouldn't You Like, but instead of Hermes replying, "Don't thank me, friend, you very may well die" like last time, he sings, "Don't thank me, friend, I'm not the one who fought for you", referencing Athena's trials in God Games.

Charybdis

This is actually the first time I'm listening to this song in full, so new songs yippee, but I'm not hearing many references to the other songs.

Odysseus' typical hubris is fully back now, pride and confidence echoing as he taunts Charybdis due to already knowing the sea monster's attacks thanks to Hermes.

Odysseus finally manages to see the beach of Ithaca, so close to his son and wife, the only minor callback to The Horse and The Infant where he calls for Penelope.

I do like the leadin for Get in the Water, though. Odysseus realizing what was happening.

Get in the Water

I love this song, it was one of the first clips I heard from Epic, next to Warrior of the Mind! Steven Rodrigeus did a fantastic job as Poseidon, and you can tell he absolutely adored the role and put his heart into it. He actually sounds livid, like Jorge had offended him personally, and I love that for actors/singers.

Get in the Water starts out similarly to Ruthlesness, with the raging storms and angry waters, albiet without the crew's voices calling out to Poseidon, making it more eerie.

"There you are...

Coward."

Poseidon's voice is full of irritation, like an irate child having his toy taken away. He's angry that Odysseus managed to get away last time, using the wind bag to escape, and he didn't want it to happen again. His voice is almost eerily calm a couple of times he orders him to get in the water, like he was on his last nerve with Odysseus, and it shows. Every lyric shows how Poseidon is feeling, rage and mercilessness towards Odysseus.

"Maybe you could learn to forgive?"

"...no."

A god doesn't need to do anything, he doesn't want to give a mortal the time of day, after everything he's done to disrespect him. And throwing him to the sea, letting him drown, leading to...

Six Hundred Strike

OKAY SO I originally thought that Get in the Water was going to be my favorite UNTIL I saw an animatic for Six Hundred Strike.

It's this one. This is my favorite. THE SYMBOLISM, THE IMAGERY, EVERYTHING ABOUT IT MAKES ME FOAM AT THE MOUTH.

I enjoyed Duvetbox's animatics beforehand, but this one specifically shows the absolute care they put into the animatics they make, the attention to detail and willingness to follow their own heart in their thoughts.

First off, Odysseus in the water, trying to grab at the wind bag desperately for a way to escape being dragged to the depths, a call back to the way he used the wind bag to escape originally in Ruthlessness.

"I don't think you get it; I can't afford to die, because I will get back to my son, and I will get back to my WIFE!"

Odysseus is using his cleverness to fight, using the wind bag to serve as a weapon, deflecting and escaping all of Poseidon's attacks using it. Only one weapon draws the God of the Sea's Ichor (God Blood), being Poseidon's own trident. This leads Odysseus to clash open the wind bag (With a picture of Aeolus in the sky, since they're the wind god). It catches Poseidon off guard, and he taunts that Odysseus wouldn't get home because he released Poseidon's storm.

Odysseus uses Poseidon's spear to hurt Poseidon, knowing he couldn't kill him, but could torture him. His words are full of sorrow, regret, and vengence as he attacks, and Duvetbox does a fantastic job at portraying this in their animatic.

"After everything you've done, how will you sleep at night?"

"Next to my wife."

[frogwiththephatahh]

Lines from Epic that absolutely destroy me every single time

"A cave! You're saying there's a cave where we could feast?" (Just because I know that's coming) "Yes, you shall be the final man to die" (mostly because we're at the thunder saga now and Ody literally is the last man standing just...ahhh) Polites' rasping, broken "Cap...tain..." followed by "He's got a club...he's got a club!" "Since you claim you're so much wiser, why's your life spent all alone? You're alone!" "Cause the end always justifies the means/Everything's changed since Polites" The crew screaming "Captain!" as Poseidon destroys the other ships. "I keep thinking of the infant from that night...I keep thinking of the infant from that night..." Odysseus' wistful "Polites..." when Polites appears in the Underworld. "I'm right here, mom, can't you see? I'm waiting" (this genuinely made me tear up the first time I heard it and I still cry when I try to sing along) "And if I gotta drop another infant from a wall in an instant so we all don't die- then I'll become the monster!" "Cut off their tails! We're ending this now. Throw their bodies back in the water- Let them drown." (fucking BRUTAL) "Eurylochus, light up six tourches" Also, you can HEAR the crewmates screaming as Scylla grabs them during "Scylla" and it's haunting. Before I get into the MANY that Mutiny has, I've gotta give a shout out to Jorge and Armando for the insanely emotional and moving acting they deliver during this song. It's a masterpiece. "Use your wits to try and say I'm crazy and mad" the DESPERATION in Eury's voice I can't "Say something!" "I can't!"

"This statue...the God of the Sun. Don't know where it's from, but here's where we found all these cows to hunt" I read The Odyssey long before listening to Epic and knowing exactly where this was going made me shudder "Please don't tell me you're about to do what I think you'll do" One of many callbacks to other songs in Mutiny "Ody, we're never gonna get to make it home, you know it's true" "I'm tired, my friend!" Armando I hate you /aff "Eurylochus, no! You've doomed us. You've doomed us all, Eurylochus!" followed by Eurylochus softly saying, "captain?" And of course we can't forget "Captain?" "I have to see her" "But we'll die" "I know" In conclusion, I love this musical

[mooselybased]

Alright fellas, we've done it! Our thirtieth Adventure Zone platform fighter moveset, none other than one of my all-time favorite NPCs, Garfield the Deals Warlock! I'm gonna be taking a break from new movesets now, but maybe I'll return to this series sometime on the horizon.

I'll be honest, I really wanted a Kirby-like character in this, with copy abilities and whatnot, and Garfield seemed like the funniest choice. So that's what led to all this.

Garfield's neutral special has him attempt to steal some blood from a nearby opponent. If successful, he will replicate that opponents neutral special (and get a matching hat) until he loses a stock or it gets beaten out of him.

Garfield's side special has him toss out a grenade, which will bounce around somewhat unpredictably for a second before exploding.

Garfield's up special has him whip out a shopping cart and dash in the direction held. The trajectory is able to be curved somewhat mid-dash. Passing through an item or opponent will put them in the cart, giving Garfield the item or launching the opponent at the end of the dash

Garfield's down special has him briefly whip out his bag of holding and hold it wide open. The bag can absorb three attacks, projectiles, or items. Once it has taken in three things, the next use of this move will launch an amount of gold coins dependent on what was absorbed.

Garfield's finale has him start singing the Fantasy Costco jingle. For the duration of the song, a deluge of items from the Fantasy Costco will rapidly fall from the sky at random locations. Some do more damage than others (looking at you, flaming poisoning raging sword of doom).

[juchily]

songs I want to see in yj s3 (complete unreality this will never happen)

"Outsiders" by Franz Ferdinand I'm thinking a scene with adult Lottie in the asylum with this song playing and my thoughts stop there

"Shake it Out" by Florence + The Machine I'm thinking '96 timeline in the summer scene, just like a happy summer scene. Or; alternatively, it's a horrible mass self gaslight where they ignore everything that's happened and everything they've done (Javi... Jackie... Laura... Doomscoming and Travis), so a more ironic usage of the song

"Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" by Fuel Really this one, "Shimmer", or "Falls On Me" are really Yellowjackets coded so, no other thoughts

"Black Sabbath" by Black Sabbath It's perfectly slow and eerie, this is literally yellowjackets, this song is literally so yellowjackets I can't even. This is the song that they'd put during the finale or a really heavy or edge of your seat moment. "Figure in black which points at me Turn around quick, and start to run Find out I'm the chosen one" "Big black shape with eyes of fire Telling people their desire"

"Fallen Leaves" by Billy Talent FALLEN LEAVES, if you've seen my other Yellowjackets and song lyrics post, you know This song is literally about troubled kids from a troubled place

"You Know You're Right" By Nirvana This song is obscure, like that damned sapphic soccer team

"The Lovecats" by The Cure, this song is not about cats, look it up, tw if you're sensitive to suicide mentions, but the lyrics aren't inherent, you have to look it up to know what it was really written about it's giving... we're doing insane shit together that will haunt the narrative 🥰

"Champagne Supernova" by Oasis CHAMPAGNE SUPERNOVA, like I said before with Fallen Leaves, if ykyk This song is about things changing with time, and I think really encapsulates some themes in YJ

"Cult of Personality" by Living Colour

"Man Who Sold The World" by David Bowie or covered by Nirvana

"Since I Told You it Was Over" by Stereophonics "But you were on your track, it was me turning back, I left you freezing outside" WHAT JACKIESHAUNA "You've seen a cross, it's a cross I bear You're drinking, hard up, living without a hope or a care You're making do to please, see what makes you smile You're not around for long, you gotta see what's gonna move your life right along" ADULT TAIVAN, VAN???? n vibes "My head is filled with lies I told" 🙂🙌😧

"The Freshmen" by The Verve Pipe "We tried to wash our hands of all of this We never talk of our lacking relationships And how we're guilt-stricken, sobbin', with our heads on the floor We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip, we'd say" Shall I say more?

Metallica

VIBES:

"Barracuda" by Heart, what can I say, this is something they'd be singing in the locker rooms

"Spiderwebs" by No Doubt ☝️

"Run Through the Jungle" by Credence Clearwater Revival Just listen to the song, it's so yellowjackets babes I promise 🙏

A Grumpy Troll and A Prince

Chapter 3: The Adventure Begins

Tags: Comedy, action, adventure, and romance

With the kingdom safely hidden, prince Four set off to rescue his friends with the utmost confidence he would make it to Bergen Town on his own. That was until he was face to face with the cunning Mr Puzzles. He tried to fight back, but his head got ripped off and the remaining corpse laid dead on the ground. He failed. He had...

"Snap out of it Four!"

He backed out of the intrusive thoughts that had put him in a trance and looked down at his journal, filled with memes. The scenarios that played in his head were all that filled the page. Back in reality, he was following the footsteps of those dusty, respectable-like shoes that the TV man was wearing.

"I totally got this. It's not like he is taking your friends to their impending doom where they will all be eaten..." He nervously told himself, trying to hope for the best. No, that was exactly Mr Puzzles was doing...and he knew it. Taking a breath, the troll forced himself to carry along and make it all the way in one piece.

"I really hope I can do it because they're all depending on me."

He had just left the Mushroom Kingdom and was now standing on the flower petal that looked over and colorful field of the Flower Kingdom.

"I know that I must leave the only home I've ever known and brave the dangers of the forest, saving them before they're eaten. I mean how hard can that-"

He then heard a snapping sound and looked down to find the petal he was standing on had broke.

"Be..."

He was falling to the ground, but caught himself just in time. Once his feet were safely back on the ground, he dusted himself off and thought it might help to look at the more positive side of things.

"There's a sunny sky that's shiny and blue."

A butterfly flew past him and thought that maybe this journey wouldn't be as scary as he thought. That idea was thrown out the window when some kind of spotted, four-legged creature caught the bug with its tongue, a clear, speckled one ate him, buzzards flew past, eating skin, leaving nothing but bones, and then a fire flower burned it to ashes. Four was left standing with his mouth agape when the flower turned to him. He waved nervously when the flower asked "I wonder what Gombas taste like?" Four thought "What the actual heck..." and slowly backed away.

"It's gonna be a fantastic day..."

He made it to the Koopa kingdom where volcanos were puffing everywhere and he bounced along rocks under a river of lava.

"Such marvelousness this is gonna bring. Iv'e got so many songs that I wanna sing. And I'm ready to take on anything. Yippee!"

He got launched so hard that he made it up to a castle, but a giant turtle stomped in front of him. Bowser was certainly not happy as he started to chase the poor troll. He couldn't give up as he kept running and running, jumping off a ledge just before Bowser's fire breath roasted him to a crisp.

"So many fun surprises around each corner. Just ride along a rainbow, gonna be okay. Hey! I'm not giving up today. There's nothing getting in my way and if you knock, knock me over, I will get back up again."

He couldn't tell which kingdom he was falling into next, but then saw a giant bird heading his way. Trying to duck out of the way just made him get eaten in one fell swoop and the Cookatiel took him back to her soup bowl in the Luncheon Kingdom.

"If something goes a little wrong well you can go ahead and bring it on."

The Cookatiel spat him back out into the soup bowl, water bubbling until Four popped out, gasping for air.

"Because if you knock, knock me over, I will get back up again!"

He managed to escape the bird on a piece of carrot and felt relived watching the furious bird over the boiling pot of stew. Whatever kingdom next would surely be better, that is until he saw a bunch of spikes up ahead.

"Oh crap..."

He was marching through the rainy New Donk City, overheated in the Sand Kingdom, almost a block of ice in the Snow Kingdom, swimming through the Lake Kingdom till that giant eel swallowed him, now traveling through his intestines, and pushing through the Windy Kingdom.

"I'm marching along, iv'e got confidence, I'm cooler than a pack of peppermints, and I haven't been this excited since...I CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN!"

He began stomping and jumping along flying Koopa's until when they ran out, he found he was high up in the air, falling once again. (Is this a habit of his?)

"I'm off on this remarkable adventure. Just ridding along a rainbow!"

He opened his eyes to find a piranha plant, shutting it's mouth tightly. God that hurt. Was he..

"What if this is all a big mistake? What if it's more than I can take?"

"NO!"

He pried open the piranha plant and kept going. As long as he reminded himself of his friends, he would surely still stand.

"I can't think that way because I know that I'm really going to be-"

Till a chain chomp came out of nowhere and ate him. Going out by that retractable dog was not how he wanted to go.

"Okay! Hey! I'm not giving up today. There's nothing getting in my way because if you knock, knock me over, I will get back up again."

He managed to escape the jags of teeth in its mouth, wondering why so many thing wanted to eat him. Even the place he was searching for was filled with creatures, ready to get their hands on him.

"If something goes a little wrong, well you can go ahead and bring it on. Because if you knock, knock me over, I will get back up again."

He tore through several giant spider webs and collapsed on the ground, stuck in webbing. No problem. Just got to get out of this web.

"And if you knock, knock me over, I will....get....back......up.....again......."

What was wrong? His spirit was still persistent on going, but his body was giving up. He could feel his heartbeat slowly decrease and his eyes closing. No. Not now. You can't give up now. He soon passed out and everything went black.

...

Hours had passed, but someone had finally found him. Four eyes had caught sight of the poor troll. It turns out that a bunch os spiders had found their next meal and slowly descended from their webs to feast on what they saw as food. They opened their mouths wide, ready to take a bite when all of a sudden, someone grabbed Four just in the knick of time. The spiders turned to find that what you might think would be the least expected troll to come. That's right. Three had saved the prince, but the spiders didn't care. More food for them anyway.

They started to crawl towards him as he backed up, but then Three took out a bomb and tossed it at one's face. The explosion barely startled them as they paused for a few seconds...and then got back to dinner. Uneasiness began to take hold of Three, but he stood his ground and as it turns out, he had the same kinds of abilities with his hair that Four did.

Using his hair like a whip, he sent the spiders packing back into the mouth of some creature that swallowed them up and went to rest. He breathed a heavy sigh and finally it was quiet. Quiet? He looked back to see that the prince was still passed out, not making a sound. That wasn't normal for him. Three became panicked as he rushed over to the blacked out troll.

"FOUR!?"

He kneeled down to the spider web that encased him and leaned close for any signs of life. No heartbeat. "Hang on Four!" He grabbed a sharp petal from a Spider Mum flower (yes I googled that) and two glowing bugs. He used the flower petal to cut open the web containment and rubbed the two bugs together like AED to restore the prince's heartbeat.

Concern was expressed in his eyes as he hoped he wasn't too late. Four's eyes shot open as he sat up. He saw Three standing next to him and his expression turned more smug. "Three! You are right on time!" Three went back from his strange, caring side into his immodest, grumpy self. "Oh sure...Like you knew I was coming." Four actually did know he was coming because he had set him up. "Yep. I figured after the third hug time, you'd realize being eaten by a Bergen wouldn't be so bad."

Three shot back "And I figured there was no way you could do this by yourself. Looks like we were both right." He returned the smug grin and crossed his arms while Four just dismissed it and carried on. "Okay then onward!" He started walking off and Three ran after him. "Oi! Don't ignore me!"

"Sooner we can rescue everybody and make it home safely." Three pushed through some plants and asked "Wait! What's your plan?" Four turned back to him and gave him a look that said "We're you even listening."

"I just told you. To rescue everyone and make it home safely." Three sighed and told him "That's not a plan. That's a wishlist."

"OHHHH I suppose you have a plan."

Three nodded and cleared his throat before speaking. "First, we'll get to the edge of Bergen Town without being spotted. Then, we get inside by sneaking through the old escape tunnels which will then lead us to the Troll Tree, right before we get caught, AND SUFFER A MISERABLE DEATH AT THE HANDS OF A HORRIBLE, BLOODTHIRSTY BERGEN!" Three was just trying to scare Four into reconsidering, but it didn't work because what he saw next was...

"Hold on a second! Are you memeing my plan!" Four enthusiastically nodded as he held up a meme that had them and all of their friends cheering "We did it!" and dancing along to that cringey Dora song. Once again, glitter got shot into Three's unimpressed face. He scowled at Four and said "There will be no more...memes..." Four sighed sadly and the two continued on.

They began walking along a huge tree trunk that had conveniently fallen on top of a river, making it the perfect bridge to get across. Four tried to lighten the mood by dancing and humming along the trunk. Three did not appreciate it though.

"Do you have to do that?"

"I always dance and hum when I'm in a good mood."

"Do you have to be in a good mood?"

"Why wouldn't I be? By this time tomorrow, I'll be back with all my friends!"

He pondered to himself on how they were doing and said "I wonder what they're doing right now!" Three thew some sarcasm into his answer with by replying "Probably being digested." Four looked at him seriously and strictly told him "They're alive. I know it." Three then stopped in his tracks and faced Four coldly.

"You don't know anything Four. And I can't wait to see the look on your face when you realize that the world isn't all fun and laughter, cause it isn't! Bad things happen and their's nothing you can do about it!" He pouted to himself and walked off.

Four could tell something was up with Three, but pushed it aside for not being shown up like that. "Hey! I know that it isn't all fun and laughter, but I would rather go through my life thinking that it mostly is instead of being like you. You don't sing, dance, and so grumpy all the time. Seriously, what happened to you? Three didn't want to talk about it so he stuck a finger over the prince's mouth and shushed him.

Concern started to melt into Four's mind as he squeaked out "A Bergen?" Three slowly removed his finger and whispered "Maybe..." Four looked around in fear, but then squinted his eyes. He sighed and said "There's no Bergen is there.? You just said that so I would stop talking!"

"Yeah. And?" He continued walking as Four rolled his eyes. They realized it was getting late, so it seemed like a good idea to find a spot to camp and resume the journey in the morning. They had found a quiet spot in the forest to sleep, except they weren't sleeping. Three was angrily covering himself in the covers while Four was unable to sleep.

He took out a picture of all of them together and lied it in the grass in front of him. "They're all so special. Good night Meggy. Good night Boopkins. Good night Tari. Good night Melony. Good night Mario. Good night Bob. Good night Luigi." He chuckled a bit on the last one with a smile and playfully said "Good night Tag6. Boop."  as he laid his finger on Tag6's nose in the picture.

"AND GOOD NIGHT FOUR." Three sternly said, wanting sleep. Four sighed and looked up at the start night sky with the full moon out. It was perfectly placed to be seen through the trees. That ding sound signifying the special time had gone off on his bracelet. He sat up and looked over at Three. "Don't...even...think about it." Four rolled his eyes again and mouthed "Muh muh muh." to tease Three's demented attitude.

Back to looking up at the sky. You know what this needed. A song. "Stars shinning bright above you-" Three sat up, fully awake and looked at Four like he was joking. "Really? Seriously? More singing?"

"Yes seriously! Singing helps me relax. Maybe you should try it." Three was really started to get fed up with this. How hard was it to get his way of living life into Four's mind? "I don't sing and I don't relax! This is the way I am and I like it! I would also like a little SILENCE!"

He tried to fall back asleep, but then heard the sound of a soft Ukulele playing. What the hell!? He whipped his head around to see Four, playing the instrument and looking at him in an arrogant manner.

"Hello darkness, my old friend. Iv'e come to talk with you again."

Creatures began flying around and singing along while Three looked confused and speechless. A small spider came up next to him and whispered "Hello..."

"Because a vision softly creeping."

Three flicked the spider off his arm without breaking eye contact with Four.

"Left its seeds while I was sleeping."

"And the vision that was planted in my brain."

"Still remains."

"Within the sound....of silence."

All the creatures disappeared just as mysteriously from when they arrived and Four strummed one last time on the Ukulele. Three got up and softly asked "May I?" Four smiled and gave him the instrument. Three instantly threw it into the fire and he went back to sleep while Four watched his Ukulele burn, mouth agape. This was going to be a long adventure...

Chapter 4: Welcome to Bergen Town

[hzrnvm]

in detail explanation of why the song Ghost Town means so much to me

Ghost Town by Ye is one of my favourite songs of all time. it touches me very deeply and I like it a lot. i'm now gonna go through the lyrics and explain why (it's more than just the lyrics, ofc, that make it beautiful to me. but, they're the easiest for me to explain, and they make up the bulk of it). I do also wanna clarify that at points I may disagree slightly with how the lyrics are written on Genius. this is because Genius isn't always right.

The intro is a sample from a song from the 1960s. it mainly serves to introduce the main theme, of someday. though it is worth pointing out that she says "wanna wear", rather than just "wear". there's something about the difference between wanting something vs desiring the freedom to want it at all

More somedays. "laying down, like God did, on Sunday" to me just is resting. being unvigilant, letting down your guard. then lines 3-5 are more mumbled, more for the flow and musical aspect than lyrical meaning.

and then he says "someday, I'm gonna tell everybody" coming out!!!!!!!! it's about coming out! there is a constant push from deep inside of me to tell everybody!

"somedays I wanna hit the red dot on everybody" it's a violent lyric, I intereperet it more as the life you live making you just want everyone around you to be gone. not necessarily a fantasy of their death, just, their becoming disconnected from you. then the last two lines I read as simply speaking on the life they will live once Someday. doing all the things they aren't allowed to do, doing whatever they wanna. freedom

me to my parents

to go more in detail it's that when I was first caught, I genuinely tried for the possibility that maybe they could love who I really am, maybe they could love hzrn. but everything I tried just, hurt me, it just repeatedly showed me that they don't love hzrn. and it took them further from me by making me go further and further into hiding from and avoiding them, total discommunication

and, when I listen to this song, i imagine a music video in my head. mainly starting around the first chorus, and, when the first chorus ends it's in a situation where the figure representing me is alone in a dark room, after walking away from her parents.

and when Ye's verse starts, i picture my future self coming to comfort me. she hugs me and tells me someday we're gonna do what we know we need, someday we're gonna take off this mask, and not to hurt myself

"you might think they wrote you off" you might think you're doomed, fated to a future of death and failure, that the author of the Universe wrote you off.

"they gon' have to rope me off" 'me' here refers specifically to my future self, the person I truly am who is currently unrealized, Hzrn. and Hzrn isn't giving up. they'll have to kill me to make me give up on hzr

"someday the drama'll be gone" someday you won't have to fear about safety and getting caught. someday all the fighting will stop. someday you'll be away from all the scary things. (the fourth line is pretty much incomprehensible, i take it more as sort of mumble-singing than anything. still incredibly beautiful, though)

"sometimes I take all the shine / talk like I drank all the wine" see when you're closeted you don't have the freedom to take all the shine, or talk like you drank all the wine! you simply don't have the freedom to do those things. you can't attract attention to yourself, you can't get silly with it, and any approximations of those things are Unsafe and therefore very scary. one of my greatest fears, before i got them removed, was getting my wisdom teeth removed. because what if the aenesthetic they put me on makes me not think about safety and hiding and I let it slip. I'll die, that's what if! and the idea of my future self coming up to me and saying, sometimes she takes all the shine, and talks like she drank all the wine, it makes me tear up. it does. because that's fucking hope, man! that's solace!

"years ahead but way behind" i'm years ahead on the inside, because living like this you kinda have to spend a lot of time just dreaming about the future, but. when you dream about the future so much it makes the past feel like way behind. I am years ahead but way behind. (and the fourth line is just nice-sounding, to me. it doesnt really factor that much into it, beyond maybe being a countup of years? because, in 5 years, I'll be 23, and, i think it's safe to say that things will be better then. maybe not all the way better but, better)

"no half-truths, just naked minds" this is what i long for. I want someday who i can look in the face, in the real world, and tell them the truth. no half truths. just naked minds, nudity. I want to bare myself to somebody, that's really what i want. i want to bare my mind to somebody. I have recently been really really touched by the image of two humanoids with exposed brains touching foreheads. connecting their minds. i dont know

"caught between space and time" I am. Hzrn is online or future, and she doesn't have the freedom to exist in the irl and past. I'm stuck between the present and the future with my constant escapism; i constantly remind myself that someday the life i'm living, I'll start forget it. it'll become a closed chapter and it'll fade from me. but reminding myself repeatedly, it's like putting myself in the mind of the hzrn who it starts to fade from. I'm trying to transpose myself into the future. and that just leaves me caught between space and time

this line makes me cry. idk if i need to explain it. if you know my sideblog @hzrnvmkta, it has the title "not what they had in mind". because, god, yeah. this isn't what they had in mind, but. idk. maybe someday

this time the chorus has a different meaning, with the different context. it's not a lamentation of this fact, but an acceptance of it. and an acknowledgement that, the goal of making them love me isn't something I should be pursuing any longer.

it's freedom. the outro is of after hzrn takes off into space, far far away from her family, and, once again she feels like a child, free and not vigilant. she lets go of the protocol, she removes the coat of paint she was wearing and lets her skin feel the air. and nothing hurts anymore; things still do hurt, but, not as much. she's able to recognize that the person she is now and that little boy she was then are one and the same; her parents were the one who pushed the wedge between then; she's still the kid she used to be (and, the use of 'we'"' here rather than 'i' I take as her finding community). she's just, in disbelief, that Someday came

so yeah! that's why this song means so much to me. I love you.

responding to this is allowed, btw, it's in fact encouraged

[annymation]

How did the conversation between Simon and Gabo went down? And what were the reaction of the other five? Yes I just want to see how much did he swear—

Heheheheheh I was HOPING someone asked, because I had to cut their scene together for time

So picture this, Simon is sitting down, back leaning on the door his friends are locked in, and we just hear coming from inside

Gabo: YOU $%*#@ LYING &$#!~*! AFTER WE SANG A *ˆ$%# SONG TOGETHER AND EVERYTHING YOU DO THIS??? I MEAN- YOU COULD'VE AT LEAST HAD THE DECENCY OF NOT SINGING WITH US BUT NOOOOOOOOO YOU JUST HAD TO BE A DECEITFUL %&*$ DIDN'T YOU?!

Simon: Look, I get it, you guys thought we could be some heroes here, but we can't. He's THE KING. The only way to keep us all safe is if I do as he says.

Gabo: Woooow and we feel so %$#&* safe right now! Do even hear yourself?! If he wins then Rosas is doomed! You think we'd be safer if we just sat down and watched this play out instead of actually FIGHTING to make a difference?! Then you don't want to protect anybody, you're just a coward!

Simon:...

Gabo: How pathetic is it that we could've literally WON if it wasn't for you. Now Asha is GOD KNOWS WHERE, Aster is gonna DIE, thousands of people are in danger... BUT HEEEY you got to keep a good image with the king! Good job!

Bazeema: Gabo, please, I think you're being a bit too-

Dahlia: No no no, Bazeema, let him speak.

Hal: Yeah, he's talking facts.

Safi: True- ACHOOOO - Like seriously Simon? couldn't even lock us up in a place without dust?

Dahlia: Safi that's not the main issu- You know what, nevermind, everything about this is messed up.

Dario gathers some pans in the closet and starts playing with them like drums, no one can see him signing in the dark room anyway, so he might as well play some ambiance music.

Simon: I made a mistake, I know! But if Magnifico finds you up there then-

Gabo: Then at least we would've tried! And we rather die doing that than sit here doing nothing!

Safi:........ Die? (whisper)

Gabo: If you wanna stay behind then BE MY GUEST, not like you ever was really part of the team anyway!

Simon:...

Gabo: But you can't keep us here forever! And when this door opens I swear Simon- there are KNIVES in that kitchen and I'm not afraid to-

They hear the door unlocking.

Simon opens it. He's looking at them sad. They're looking at him surprised.

Simon: *sigh* I just know I'm gonna regret this.

Gabo: ....... Indeed you will, Dahlia where are the knives?

Dahlia: NOOO nope nope nope! It's reconciliation time and not murder time!

Gabo: It is always murder o'clock.

Dahlia: And you can start making it up to us by pulling us through the food elevator that leads to the king's study

Everyone: .... WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION THAT WAS A THING BEFO-

Dahlia: I WAS PANICKING OKAY?! I FORGOR

[leaderofthemafia]

After the war I went back to New York

A-After the war I went back to New York

I finished up my studies and I practiced law

I practiced law, Burr worked next door

Even though we started at the very same time Alexander Hamilton began to climb How to account for his rise to the top? Man, the man is Non-stop!

Gentlemen of the jury, I'm curious, bear with me Are you aware that we're making history? This is the first murder trial of our brand-new nation The liberty behind deliberation Non-stop!

I am meant to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt With my assistant counsel—

Co-counsel. Hamilton, sit down Our client Levi Weeks is innocent, call your first witness That's all you had to say

Okay, one more thing—

Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? Soon that attitude may be your doom

Aww!

Why do you write like you're running out of time? Write day and night like you're running out of time Every day you fight like you're running out of time

Keep on fighting, in the meantime Non-stop!

Corruption's such an old song that we can sing along in harmony And nowhere is it stronger than in Albany This colony's economy's increasingly stalling And honestly, that's why (He's just) Public service seems to be (non-stop!) calling me

I practiced the law, practic'ly perfected it I've seen injustice in the world and I've corrected it Now for a strong central democracy If not, then I'll be Socrates Throwing verbal rocks at these mediocrities (Awww!)

Hamilton at the Constitutional Convention

I was chosen for the Constitutional Convention!

There as a New York junior delegate

Now what I'm gonna say may sound indelicate... (Awww!)

Goes and proposes his own form of government What?

His own plan for a new form of government What?

Talks for six hours, the convention is listless

Bright young man! Yo, who the eff is this?

Why do you always say what you believe? Why do you always say what you believe?

Every proclamation guarantees Free ammunition for your enemies (Awww!)

Why do you write like it's going out of style (goin out of style, hey) Write day and night like it's going out of style (goin out of style, hey) Every day you fight like it's going out of style Do you what you do

Alexander?

Aaron Burr, sir

Well, it's the middle of the night

Can we confer, sir?

Is this a legal matter?

Yes, and it's important to me

What do you need?

Burr, you're a better lawyer than me

Okay?

I know I talk too much, I'm abrasive You're incredible in court, you're succinct, persuasive My client needs a strong defence, you're the solution

Who's your client?

The new U.S. Constitution?

No

Hear me out—

No way!

A series of essays anonymously published Defending the document to the public

No one'll read it

I disagree!

And if it fails?

Burr, that's why we need it

The constitution's a mess!

So it needs amendments

It's full of contradictions!

So is independence We have to start somewhere

No, no, no, no, no, no way

You're making a mistake

Good night!

Hey! What are you waiting for? What do you stall for?

What?

We won the war, what was it all for? Do you support this constitution?

Of course

Then defend it!

And what if you're backing the wrong horse?

Burr, we studied and we fought and we killed For the notion of a nation we now get to build For once in your life take a stand with pride I don't understand how you stand to the side

I don't keep all my plans close to my chest

Wait for it, wait for it, wait

I won't wait here and see which

Way the wind will blow I'm taking my time watching the afterbirth of a nation Watching the tension grow

I am sailing off to London I am accompanied by someone who always pays I have found a wealthy husband Who will keep me in comfort for all my days He is not a lot of fun but There's no one who can match you for turn of phrase My Alexander—

Angelica

Don't forget to write

Look at where you are Look at where you started The fact that you're alive is a miracle Just stay alive, that would be enough And if your wife could share a fraction of your time If I could grant you peace of mind Would that be enough?

Alexander joins forces with James Madison and John Jay to write a series of essays Defending the new United States Constitution, entitled The Federalist Papers The plan was to write a total of twenty-five essays The work divided evenly among the three men In the end, they wrote eighty-five essays in the span of six months John Jay got sick after writing five James Madison wrote twenty-nine Hamilton wrote the other FIFTY-ONE!

How do you write like you're

Running out time Write day and night like you're

Running out time

Every day you fight like you're

Running out time

Like you're

Running out time

Are you running out time?

How do you write like tomorrow won't arrive? How do you write like you need it to survive? How do you write every second you're alive Every second you're alive Every second you're alive

They're asking me to lead I'm doing the best I can To get the people that I need I'm asking you to be my right hand man

Treasury or State?

I know it's a lot to ask—

Treasury or State?

To leave behind the world you know—

Sir, do you want me to run the Treasury or State Department?

Treasury

Let's go

Alexander!

I have to leave

Alexander!

Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now

Helpless

They are asking me to lead

Look around, isn't this enough?

He will never be satisfied

Would it be enough?

He will never be satisfied

Satisfied, satisfied, satisfied

History has it's eyes on you

Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room?

Look around, look around

Non-stop!

He will never be satisfied, satisfied, satisfied

Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? Soon that attitude may be your doom

Isn't this enough? Would it be enough?

History has it's eyes on you

Why do you write like you're running out of time?

Non-stop!

Why do you write like—

History has it's eyes on you!

I am not throwing away my shot!

Just you wait

I am not throwing away my shot!

Just you wait

I am Alexander Hamilton

Hamilton Just you wait

I am not throwing away my shot!

Uhm? Is everything ok?

[ya-bug-boy]

Submas x Self Aware Reader part 8

Now that you were slightly more aware of how your world is merely some fabricated game of entertainment, you were going to take advantage of it. The mushrooms you seek from the forest to the players would be a randomized encounter, spawning somewhere within the forest maze.

Because you were without both Ingo and Emmet, the world seemed to respond to you differently. That meant that though time would never pass and it would remain a constant night until both the farmers went to sleep, you were free to explore and manipulate the world however you wished.

You kept your guard up, as there was a potential chance that you killing the Killer Bee Queen didn't matter. But as you traverse through the woods, you're kept unusually safe. It could be because you were not a "player" vessel there would be no enemies for you to encounter.

In fact despite this being a dangerous forest in this world, no monsters come forth to fight you. The air is hauntingly quiet without the droning buzzes of Killer Bee Soldiers to fill it. Though you were alone, you felt safe, even stopping to fill your canteen at the river, drinking a few sips before continuing your journey. The forest maze was always tricky for players to navigate. As often there would be a telltale guide of some sort. An enemy, a sign in the trees, or even perhaps a fairy would lead heroes either to safety or to their doom. But for you, when you came to the entrance of the forest maze, it was. . . different.

Where there was supposed to be a misty, thick fog was nothing. Absolutely nothing. With your expert knowledge of how dangerous the world was, the paths of the forest were clear to you as the moonlight exposed the naked dead trees. It was undeniable how bizarre this was but you presumed it was because...yourself are not a player character. You are not meant to be here. The maze was always a dungeon of its own, strange energies in the world generating a path never to be repeated before. Perhaps because you are not a player, the forest dungeon doesn't know what to do.

A stroke of mercy, luck, and a harrowing truth that was hard to stomach. No music. No fog. Just dead silence where even the smallest of bugs would not sing their songs. You walk forward into the clear forest aimlessly until you spot it. The mushrooms you needed.

The royal Killer Bee Honey had curing elements, which were vital to the potions you would make. However this elusive mushroom you needed is used in lesser medicinal practices as well. This mushroom had magical properties to it once it had been properly dried and grounded into a powder. However if a player were to consume it raw, they would go through an unpredictable journey of pleasure, euphoria, or even panic. You gathered the purple mushrooms before walking out in one direction, in a swift line back to your train where it waited for you. As you board your train, you watch from your window as you leave the edge of the dangerous forest... For your vision to darken, forcing you to blink, before you find yourself back at the mountain summit where your station is. No matter how hard you tried to keep your eyes open, traversing to and from different regions made you...fast travel, you would now call it. Fast traveling feels like though you step forward, you cannot see the ground. An immediate plunge of darkness that frightens you, forcing you to blink, before you arrive to your destination. How truly terrifying it would be to be trapped in that void. You slow your train to a stop and oddly see the horses of the farmer boys standing nearby. Their loyalty is odd as they never seem to need to be tied down to a post, but will stand there for hours at a time without needing rest or nourishment.

As you step off your train, you see the door to your home swing wide open as the two farmers immediately swarm you with questions. "Are you okay?"

"Where did you go?" "Are you hurt?"

"Here, eat this," Ingo says as his vessel places their hands forward, ushering you to eat one of the foods you had cooked with him earlier that night. You hesitate to reach for the bowl of pasta. "How long did I keep you two waiting?" You ask as you gently cup the bowl in your hands.

"20 minutes," Emmet responds back. "We were verrrry worried about you."

"Dear Golden Eye," Ingo begins to talk, "We urgently require you to tell us more about your predicament. A part of me still doesn't seem to accept that you, that you are, well-" "Alive," Emmet finishes.

You sigh and tilt your gaze down. Somehow your bowl of pasta is still warm to the touch, steam escaping into the air. "Let me return to my crystal ball. I can see you two from there. I should show up on the nearest crystal appliance either of you have."

The three of you quickly enter back into your home and you sit down, tracing a circle on your crystal ball and then, they can see you.

You appear just as you did before, but on one of their computer screens. Not a pixel image of you, as one would ordinarily see with your talk sprite but an image of you so human and real it was as if though they were facetiming someone. You all stare for a few moments in silence before you let out an airy laugh by exhaling through your nose hard, giving the twins a gentle smile. "Hello boys." Ingo and Emmet's face both seem to redden, their blush betraying their composure as they relish in hearing your voice. You're not entirely certain about their perception of you but that is merely because you did not know how much they adored you. "We have a lot to talk about," you say gently as you pick up your food. "Would it be alright if we talked while I ate? The meal you helped me prepare, though it never loses its warmth, I think it'll taste better, eating it with you." "Why of course you may!" Ingo says with warmth in his voice.

"We cooked our own meal too! Yup yup. Just like how you showed us!" Emmet comments cheerily.

For the first time in what felt like forever, you're seen as a person. Your worth and value is measured not by what you can offer, but by how other people yearn for you.

You did not know the full and complete answers to everything, and granted, neither did they. Though revealing the truth was frightening as you feared they would shut down the crystal appliance they were using to communicate with you, you were met with kindness in the end.

The Dazzlings vs Velvet and Veneer

[pardonmydelays]

fave lyrics from "non-stop"?

oh boy. can i just quote the entire song? no? ok... let's see (that's gonna be more than three tho):

gentlemen of the jury, i'm curious, bear with me, are you aware that we're making history? - ahshfvrekrkhk ok i may not have any explanation i just love it & it's so funny to me

hamilton, sit down

why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? soon that attitude may be your doom - i am thinking thoughts

why do you write like you're running out of time? - i mean this is just iconic, right?

i practiced the law, i practically perfected it, i've seen injustice in the world & i've corrected it, now for a strong central democracy if not, then i'll be socrates throwing verbal rocks at these mediocrities - oh my god how much i love the sound of all of it

Quoting Song Lyrics

Reader x uswnt (platonic)

Summary: Reader starts quoting song lyrics...

A/n: So instead of making a whole incorrect quotes series of reader quoting song lyrics, I decided to make just a fic of it. The incorrect quotes can you find here and here. It comes from a prompt list that you can find here.

Enjoy!

Practice was hard today. Somehow you laid more on the grass then that you were standing, and that for a practice. Two things kept you from storming off the field right now.

Thing one was that you almost knew for certain that you would start in the next game, if you would leave the training now, you don't even think you would be playing the next game.

Thing two was that the one song you listened to before you came on the field was keeping you up. The thing was when you listened to your music, you knew that when your headphones were off, you would be stuck with the songs you heard, and that was now the problem.

Again, you hit the ground, you decided to lay for a second more. 'I'm a survivor', you mumbled behind your breath. Apparently, Tobin decided to bring you to the ground, but she was nice enough to help you up, meanwhile hearing you mutter something.

'Did you say something?', she asked. You Shaked your head in reply, but you said nonetheless thank you.

You were lucky it wasn't a day where one of you got mic'd up, because if your teammates found out that you were quoting song lyrics in practice, you knew they would always remember.

'I'm not gonna give up', you continued, hoping that you won't hit the turf much more before training would end. And it seems like somebody heard your prayers, because practice has ended, and you didn't eat any more grass.

It was time for you to go back to the locker rooms, you walked next to Ashley Sanchez, but it was not your intention to let you hear your next sentence: 'Nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be so hard', what you didn't expect was that Ashley heard you and needed to smother her laughter when she realized you were quoting "The Scientist" from Coldplay.

Ashley was smart enough to keep her mouth shut and not to say anything if she wanted to hear you quote a song once again.

Now arrived at the locker room you sat in your cube, next to Emily Sonnett. If she caught you quoting any song lyrics, you knew your teasing free life would end. You had some more songs in your head, and your mouth just couldn't keep shut.

'I found it hard, was hard to find, oh well, whatever, never mind', this time it was time for Nirvana.

'Oh my god, y/n, are you quoting a song?', you were doomed when you heard this sentence come out of the mouth of Sonnett. You wanted to go through the floor now, because Sonnett got the attention of most of the girls who were in ear range.

And still your mouth couldn't keep shut, while you were shaking your head you said accidently: 'I feel stupid and contagious'.

'If you are quoting lyrics now, were you doing that also on the field when I helped you up?', Tobin asked. 'Sadly', you mumbled in response.

'I know you love to listen to music, but does this mean you can sing also?', somebody asked.

'I'm worse at what I do best', was your reply while shrugging your shoulders.

'Are you saying now that you say that your bad in soccer or in singing?', Christen scolded you for saying something like this.

'Singing', you said.

'I think you can sing really good', Mallory Pugh chimed in, 'why don't you let us hear more?'

'Because I just can't sing', your reply was fast. Grabbing your stuff to head to the bus.

Who thought it was smart to play a board game with 24 people? But for you it was much better then to play truth or dare or watch a horror movie. So somebody thought it was fun to play yatzee and it was finally your turn.

The dices were given to you and here it came. You were thanks to a lucky roll on the winning side.

'I used to roll the dice, feel the fear in my enemy's eyes', you sang, ''viva la vida'' was one of your favourite songs from Coldplay and you knew the song all too well. Next thing you knew was that you felt something itch.

You looked around and saw Rose, with only one shoe on, the item that hurt you was her other shoe.

'Stop it please, or I will throw a book at you', Rose said trying to send you a glare.

'I'm sorry I can't help myself', you threw your hands up, but only to take the cookie roll the winner would get, and you had won obviously.

My theory about Fragile taking care of Lou.

I keep comparing Fragile's situation to Cliff's because I think it's an obvious thing to do and it's Kojima's intention, but I can't tell if he's being obvious here or if he's set up the whole situation so that we think it's going to be so obvious… anyway, I've only just met him [with Death Stranding] so I don't know how his mind works when it comes to announcing a game sequel.

But let's start… that whole Fragile sequence with Lou can't be the "beginning of the game". Firstly, because in the second trailer she shows no trace of remorse, sadness or grief in the way she talks to Sam. So I think that the Fragile in trailer 2 may well be the Fragile at the beginning of the game, but that whole scene of her with Lou in trailer 1 is not.

That sequence in trailer 1 is simply "save Lou" in a place where probably only Fragile will have access and come with me, because if Kojima is crazy I'm worse.

Let's pretend that we've found "some truth" about Lou, after all she communicates through her pod, but Lou is somewhere that only Fragile has access to due to her DOOMs level that gives the ability to teleport. Or we could say that some event similar to Cliff's supercell will take place, but that only Fragile will have access or Fragile will volunteer to go. So technically it will be the "minigame with Fragile" in the same way as with Sam in DS1.

While we play with Sam to "defeat" Cliff in that event, we have Cliff on the other side looking for his BB. So here with Fragile it's no different, it's us now who want our BB back, and as with Cliff, we'll have someone to cause us trouble and that trouble is Lou's death every time we try to save her in this "dimension".

So I imagine it would be a game mode where the objective would be: "protect Lou", "escape with Lou", "prevent such a thing from killing Lou", but we will always lose…

Sam: Something he said. "You don't know a goddamn thing about Lou." Fragile: Alright, Sam. Let's see what we can find on Lou.

Higgs: If you want answers, you're gonna have to find 'em yourself. But... the ones you do find-- well that pain you nurse... will only get worse. Sam the man... in the dark. About everything.

And then something else comes to mind. Sam was absorbed by the supercell and was fighting his own father who was trying to get his son back, which was us. So the whole situation was set up to make us believe that Cliff was the bad guy, when in fact it wasn't quite like that. The truth that is revealed to us at the end is painful and shocking, so I think the truth that will be revealed at the end about Lou will carry the same impact, Higgs talks about it in the second trailer obviously.

So I don't think it's for nothing that the first trailer is set up with Higgs singing the same song that Cliff sang, and with Fragile having the same reaction that Cliff had, I think it makes a lot more sense to me now in a way of saying "look what's happening here is the same thing that happened to Cliff, give me my BB back!".

Now there's something else that's always made me wonder, and I have no idea if Kojima has ever commented on it or what. It's about the astronaut keychain and the doubt as to if Lou's pod is the same pod that Sam wore as a baby.

(I think there's something in the game about this keyring, but I can't remember, I think it was Igor's brother who gave it to him as a present, something like that? I don't remember.)

But it doesn't stop there, because after we meet Cliff for the last time and he gives us his army chain, it ends up in the pod too, and we know how powerful a connection object is in the game.

And well… I don't remember seeing any astronauts or army chains in the first DS2 trailer, it just focuses on dream filters, something to do with Amelie and nothing about Cliff.

And in the second trailer, when the pod appears, it doesn't have a keyring either… so I could say that it's just a joke by Kojima or if it could be something real (but I confess that realizing that Sam hasn't kept anything of Cliff's is a bit painful).

So that's it for now, it's Friday and then I can relax my mind, be crazy and theorize...
