#importance to him (even though richas was also very important to him) he’s very much dedicated to everyone no matter how close he is to him

[ahalliance]

an important thing to understand with qetoiles is that he made every one of his relationships feel special without ever placing the importance of a person over another . he was naturally closer to some people than others but he never had A special person, if you get me

A very exciting day from the Merpepito AU

Read on Ao3

-

Pepito has been a pirate for one month and three days, and he has finally been given his first Pirate Job.

"Pepito, I'm trusting you with something very important," Captain Celbi had said as the ship had pulled into port.

He had crouched and pulled out a small leather pouch from the pocket of his coat. He held it out to Pepito, nodding seriously as Pepito took the pouch in both of Pepito's hands.

"Pac and Mike are going to go grocery shopping while we're here, but they always forget the most important food when I send them shopping," Captain Celbi explained. "They don't buy any candy, and we both know how important candy is."

Pepito nodded seriously. Candy is important, Apa Quackity says that it's one of the major food groups along with fish, seaweed, and cocaine.

"So I need you," Captain Celbi continued, "to take this money and make sure that you get candy. One piece for every crew member, and two pieces for yourself as payment for taking on this very important mission."

And so here Pepito is, grocery shopping for the first time as a pirate. Mister Pac and Mister Mike and Richarlyson are with him, but they don't know about his mission; it's a secret mission, Captain Celbi had said!

The Sky Pepito town is huge, but Pepito doesn't think they'll get lost. Mister Mike seems to know where they're going even if Richarlyson does keep running off and getting lost in the crowd and punching people until Mister Pac goes to get him.

"Settle down, Richas!" Mister Pac groans. He takes Richarlyson by the hand and pulls him to his side. "You're going to get arrested like this, you know!"

"And?" Richarlyson challenges. "So what! Pai Cellbit gets arrested all the time!"

"Cellbit is also a complete sociopath," Mister Mike comments. He looks at the grocery list with a hum. "He told us to buy coffee, how the hell are we supposed to make coffee on a boat?"

Pepito doesn't know what a 'sociopath' is, but it sounds cool! Some kind of artist, maybe?

He looks around the market. There has to be a candy stall somewhere!

Back in the Reef, Miss Niki had the best candy. She made taffy out of The Ocean's salt, and she sold it alongside her cookies in her shop, and, man, Pepito really misses Miss Niki.

...He doesn't miss anything else about the Reef, though! Definitely not Apa Roier or Apa Quackity or Apa Mariana or Apa Carre or Ama Rivers or Awuelo Foolish, that would be silly!

Pepito is a pirate now. He's doing a Pirate Job for a Pirate Captain, and he's going to end up in sooooooo much trouble with the Navy because of it! (Everybody knows the Navy hates candy. It's because they're lazy disgusting sacks of organs and blood, according to Captain Celbi, and he's never wrong!!)

Pepito jumps as someone taps his shoulder. He looks up and sees Mister Mike looking down at him with crinkled, smiling eyes.

"Don't get lost, now, Pepito," he says. "Cellbit will leave you behind if we go back to the ship without you."

Pac gasps and smacks Mister Mike's arm, but he's smiling, and Richarlyson is laughing.

Pepito's eyes well with tears, but he doesn't cry. He knows that they're all pirates. They're evil. Of course Captain Celbi would leave if Pepito got back to the ship late, he's a pirate captain, and Pepito still hasn't finished his first Pirate Job.

So Pepito bites Pepito's lip and puffs Pepito's chest out. He will not be left behind! He's going to finish his Pirate Job, and then Captain Celbi will say he's a Good Pirate, and then Pepito will be a Good Pepito again.

...But Pepito can't see a candy stall or shop anywhere. Captain Celbi had said that this was supposed to be a secret, but if Pepito doesn't tell anybody that he was given this job, then it's still a secret!

Hesitantly, he tugs on Mister Mike's sleeve and spells out with his finger in the air, "C A N D Y"? (Apparently, there's something called 'sign language' in the Sky, but Pepito hasn't learned that yet, but at least Pepito can spell using the Sky Language now!)

"You want candy?" Mister Mike asks.

"Oooo, I want candy, too," Mister Pac eagerly says. He looks at Pepito with a smile. "When we're done shopping, we'll get some candy, okay?"

Pepito beams, all tears gone.

Richarlyson grumbles and tugs his hand free. He ducks his head, mutters something under his breath, glares at Pepito through his bangs.

Pepito frowns, all smiles gone.

He doesn't get why Richarlyson doesn't like him. They're friends, right? Captain Celbi always seems happy when they're playing together.

...Unless Richarlyson knows that Pepito is a Bad Pepito. Unless Richarlyson knows about the Very Bad Thing.

Uh oh.

-

(Cellbit watches the water, leaning against the ship's railing. He can dream of seeing him again, can't he?

Suddenly, a bright light erupts out of the ocean just over the horizon.

Cellbit frowns, standing and adjusting his hat.

That can't be good.)

-

Halfway through the grocery list, Richarlyson escapes again.

Maybe that's for the best, Pepito thinks. He likes Richarlyson, but he doesn't want Richarlyson telling his dads about the Very Bad Thing. Pepito likes Misters Pacandmike, they've been the ones teaching Pepito how to write the Sky Language. They're smart, and they're nice by pirate standards. Pepito doesn't want them to hate him, too.

So Pepito keeps watching Mister Mike argue with the saleswoman at the bakery. She won't sell him any bread because Richarlyson stole some cookies on his way into the crowd, it's rude. Maybe she's a pirate, too.

But the hair on the back of Pepito's neck raises on end as he hears a familiar shout and a, "Hey, watch it, kid! Where the fuck are your parents, huh?"

No...!

Pepito is a Brave Pepito. Pepito is a pirate! Pepito isn't scared of anybody!

But Pepito doesn't want to see the hatred in Apa Roier's eyes. He wants his last memories of Apa Roier's face to be happy ones where Apa Roier still loves him and wants to be his father and doesn't hate him or think he's a killer or a Bad Pepito.

Pepito can't help it.

Pepito runs.

Pepito holds Captain Celbi's money close to his chest, and he runs.

"What the-" Mister Mike exclaims. "Pepito! Where are you going!"

"Pepito?" Apa Roier asks. He shouts again and calls, "Pepito!"

Pepito ducks into the crowd and drops to his knees, clutching Captain Celbi's money tight so he doesn't lose it.

Apa Roier may be a fast swimmer, but Pepito is a Small Pepito. He knows that Apa Roier is super tall, so Pepito crawls between people's legs and under and through skirts and he hopes that Apa Roier can't see him because Pepito doesn't want to see him.

Pepito is gonna be in soooooo much trouble...

("He's a good boy," Apa Roier says. He glares over Pepito's shoulder at Luzu. "Not a killer. Can you get that through your skull, hmm?")

Pepito sniffs and wishes he was back home where he could hide under his bed until Apa Mariana would get on the ground with him and wait until he was done being scared. Apa Mariana would hold Pepito's hand and talk until Pepito felt better, and Pepito misses him so much. But now Apa Mariana has a New Pepito to hold hands with. He doesn't want Pepito anymore.

Suddenly, something heavy pounces upon Pepito from behind, knocking him down.

Pepito lets out a whine and faceplants onto the ground. He hears his glasses crack (at least he hopes it's his glasses...)

Captain Celbi's money digs into Pepito's stomach. It hurts...

"Got him!" someone shouts, and, oh, it's Richarlyson. Of course he's working with Apa Roier. He wants a Good Pepito, too, doesn't he?

Pepito whimpers and shakes his head. He wiggles, trying to get free, but all he does is rattle Captain Celbi's money a bit.

Richarlyson laughs and reaches under Pepito's stomach and pulls out the money pouch.

"This is Pai Cellbit's!" Richarlyson gasps. His other hand wraps around the back of Pepito's neck angrily. "You stole this from him!"

Pepito shakes his head again. He might be a Bad Pepito, but he isn't a thief! Captain Celbi gave that money to him for a job! A Pirate Job! So Pepito can be a pirate like everybody else!

"Hey, mister!" Richarlyson shouts. "I have Pepito!"

Pepito's stomach hurts, but not from getting tackled this time. He's going to be sick. Apa Roier hates him. He's came all this way just to find Pepito and arrest him and call him a Bad Pepito and-

Richarlyson is yanked off of Pepito; he shouts and fights and kicks right into Pepito's back.

"Richarlyson, what the hell?" Mister Pac demands. "What does Pai Cellbit always tell us?"

Pepito pushes himself up and back onto his hands and knees. His glasses are cracked, but he can still kinda see...

But then he's picked up by Mister Mike, and then they're running through the crowd.

Pepito glances down and sees that he's only being held to Mister Mike's chest by one arm. Mister Mike's free hand is holding a gun.

Pirates...

Mister Mike turns his head over his shoulder and shouts, "You are so grounded!"

"What? No!" Richarlyson protests.

"Crew protects crew," Mister Pac says. "Pepito is crew whether you like it or not."

Squinting, Pepito can see Mister Pac dragging Richarlyson along behind him as they hurriedly speedwalk through the crowd.

Mister Pac has his sword drawn, but it looks clean. That's good, Pepito doesn't want Apa Roier hurt.

"He stole from Pai Cellbit!" Richarlyson argues. "He's a traitor!"

Mister Mike rolls his eyes. "Who doesn't steal from Cellbit? Honestly, Pepito stealing from him is enough to make him crew in my eyes."

Pepito's jaw drops. A pirate likes him...!

They continue rushing through the crowd, groceries abandoned. Captain Celbi is gonna be so mad, but he might not call Pepito a Bad Pepito if Pepito's lucky. It isn't Pepito's fault that Apa Roier talked to the Sea Witch! Blame the Sea Witch, not Pepito!

The ship appears over the crowd, and Pepito can almost see the Pepitos on its deck. But his glasses are broken, so all he can really see are smudges that are vaguely Pepito-shaped.

"Cellbit!" Pac shouts. "We need to go!"

Captain Celbi appears over the railing. With his hat and his coat and the clear scowl on his face, he looks truly evil. (So cool...)

"What the fuck did you do?" he demands as they approach. "You were gone for twenty minutes!"

Mister Mike is the first on the ship. As soon as he's on board, he drops Pepito to the ground and reaches out to grab Richarlyson and pull him on board, too. He gently shoves Richarlyson to Cellbit, who takes Richarlyson by the shoulders and holds him still in front of him.

Captain Celbi looks at Mister Mike, and then he looks at the out-of-breath Mister Pac, and then he looks at Richarlyson, and then he looks at Pepito.

His eyes darken, a weird rumbling sound coming out of his throat that almost sounds like growling, but that can't be right. Sky Pepitos don't growl.

Pepito shrinks back. In the air, he shakily spells, "S O R R Y."

"It wasn't Pepito," Mister Pac says. "There was some- some guy at the market who saw Pepito and started chasing us! I don't know, he might be Navy? But they don't usually go after mermaids, right?"

"Who cares who he was?" Mister Mike huffs. He still has his gun out. (Scary...) "Fuck that guy."

He glances at Richarlyson. "You're grounded, young lady. Go below deck."

Richarlyson's jaw drops open in outrage. "But- but he's a thief!"

He holds out Captain Celbi's money pouch. "Pai, see? Pepito stole this from you! He's untrustworthy."

Captain Celbi sighs and takes his money back. "I gave him that money so he could buy candy because you guys never let me have any. Go downstairs, we'll talk later."

Richarlyson's face falls, but he storms downstairs, kicking a bucket full of soapy water over on his way.

Captain Celbi looks at Mister Pac. "We can't leave yet. Baghera and Mousey are still on shore, and we definitely don't have the food supplies to set sail right now. Next port town is over a month away, we'll starve before then."

He takes Misters Pacandmike to talk, occasionally glancing at Pepito.

Pepito lets them be. Pepito isn't a pirate. He can't participate in Pirate Stuff. He failed his Pirate Job. He'll never be a pirate now.

He walks to the gangplank and sits with his knees to his chest. He can't see much of anything, but maybe he can help Miss Baghera and Miss Mouse with their bags when they come back to the ship.

Pepito can't see, but Pepito can hear.

"Shit!" Apa Roier shouts in The Ocean's Language.

If Pepito squints just right, he thinks that he can see Apa Roier backing away from a wooden post on the dock with a hand to his forehead. He's shouting and in pain and it's all Pepito's fault.

Apa Roier's head snaps between the docked ships, looking. Searching. Probably very, very angry.

And then he sees Pepito. And Pepito sees him.

Pepito can't help it. Pepito starts crying as Apa Roier comes running towards him, tripping over himself as he scrambles up the gangplank with extended arms.

"Pepito!" Apa Roier cries. Pepito can't see the look on his face, but Pepito bets he's angry. "Pepito!"

He keeps chanting Pepito's name as he runs, because he's always liked Pepito's name. He always says that it's the best name Pepito could have, and it's probably his favorite name, so the New Pepito is probably named Pepito, too.

Pepito stands and tries running, but his vision is so blurry with his glasses broken and with the tears in his eyes that he manages to trip over the bucket Richarlyson had kicked over and he falls.

Warm arms scoop Pepito up and hold him close in a tight hug.

"Pepito, what the fuck," Apa Roier demands, his face buried in the top of Pepito's head. "A month, Pepito, what the fuck?"

Pepito shakes his head, his entire body quivering. He wants to hug Apa Roier back, but is he allowed to? No, right? Apa Roier's angry...

A cold shadow falls upon them from above.

A gun clicks, cold steel pointing right at Apa Roier's head.

"I'm going to give you one chance to get off of my ship," Captain Celbi coldly says, voice low and flat and absolutely terrifying. "Let go of my crew member, and get off of my ship. One. Chance."

"Your crew member?" Apa Roier scoffs. "He's my fucking son."

Captain Celbi inches closer until the gun is pressed into Apa Roier's hair; Apa Roier doesn't so much as flinch.

Pepito shakes. His lip wobbles, tears streaming down his face and snot bubbling out of his nose. He wants his dad!

In the language of The Ocean, Apa Roier says, "We're going home, Pepito. I'll beat his ass."

Pepito shakes his head frantically. They can't go home, the New Pepito is there, and Pepito doesn't wanna meet them! The New Pepito probably looks cuter than Pepito does. Doesn't need glasses. Is a fast swimmer. Doesn't have asthma. Isn't a killer.

But he can't say this. He can't say anything.

Behind Apa Roier's back, Pepito spells to Captain Celbi, "D A D."

Captain Celbi meets Pepito's eyes.

He lets out a breath, lips pressed together and eyebrows furrowed, but he nods and backs off, clicking his gun until it's safe.

And then Apa Roier lets out a war cry and lets go of Pepito, swinging a leg out and knocking Captain Celbi to the ground. He laughs and lunges for his gun, trying to wrestle it from him. Captain Celbi's hat falls off, revealing the pointy white things on the top of his head; they press flat against his hair and he bares his teeth angrily.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Captain Celbi demands.

"You kidnapped my son, what the fuck do you think?" Apa Roier snaps. He crawls on top of Captain Celbi, his knee between Captain Celbi's legs and his chest pressed to Captain Celbi's chest.

"Oh my gods," Mister Pac quietly says. "Mike, I think they're gonna..."

"Cover your eyes, Pac," Mister Mike replies.

Pepito doesn't know what they're talking about. All Pepito can do is watch uselessly as his dad and his captain wrestle on the deck.

"I didn't kidnap him!" Captain Celbi argues. "Bad brought him to me!"

"And you took him!?" Apa Roier incredulously asks. "Fucking pirates-"

He looks at Captain Celbi, and he goes quiet. He stops fighting.

Confused, Captain Celbi looks up at him. And then he stops fighting, too. The pointy things on his head stick right up, seemingly happy about something.

"Oh," Captain Celbi quietly says. "Hello."

He and Apa Roier are still borderline holding hands over the gun. Apa Roier is still flush to Captain Celbi's front, and Apa Roier's knee is still stuck between Captain Celbi's legs.

"Hi," Apa Roier says, voice soft, almost reverent in a way, the same way he spoke when he talked about how evil and bad and disgusting pirates are. "You kidnapped my son."

"I really didn't."

"I'm not getting off this boat until you give him back."

Apa Roier leans in close as he says that.

Captain Celbi licks his lips. "Then I guess you're going to be stuck here for a while, because Pepito is a prized member of my crew. I wouldn't give him up for anything in the world."

Pepito is... a prized member? Of the crew?

Pepito can't help it. He gets up and runs to Captain Celbi and gives him as good a hug as he can with Captain Celbi pinned to the deck.

He's a pirate!

Pepito is finally a pirate!

Best day ever!

Relapsing (Extended analysis).

tw: depression, mental and physical deterioration

I was here over-thinking (again) and remembered the small but powerful details with which q!Roier expresses his feelings through his appearance and actions:

After the betrayal he suffered he threw away his red hoddie, which was in tatters just like his heart, exchanging it for a black one, neglected his appearance by growing a stubble, unkempt hair and started wearing black eyeliner. All these signs of, in his own words, a deep sadness combined with his desire to take revenge on those who had wronged him.

And it was a look that stayed with him for a long time, it is interesting that not even the arrival of q!Jaiden and Bobby in his life managed to completely appease that painful feeling in his heart enough for q!Roier to think about mending his red hoddie and return to being completely happy. Because, as important as they are to him and as undoubtedly happy as Bobby was in his life, the pain of being betrayed by someone he had deep feelings for hurt him far more than he could handle. It was a feeling that, as much as he didn't want to guard, he simply couldn't shake.

And when Bobby died, it just got worse. q!Roier spent entire days without eating or sleeping submerged inside the pool he had built for his son, letting his clothes become water-eaten and moldy, he not only neglected his appearance this time but many other aspects of his life: he stopped farming resources, he used to try to have them so Bobby wouldn't need anything, and all his inventories became so disorganized that he became unable to find the things he needed for himself. In his own words, he had lost everything, even his will.

Then the Brown family adopted him, making him Leonarda's brother, after which he married q!Cellbit and was officially named Richarlyson's father. The red Hoddie was also back, the love of his husband and knowing he had a family again had gladdened his heart again. It was a new beginning to get closer to the children of the island who were left alive, and yet it was such a difficult process that you could tell he still kept his distance.

Not only was it that he didn't do Richas' daily tasks (unless he was accompanying q!Cellbit) another detail that I remember very well (because of how painful it was for me) was when he agreed to do Leo's daily tasks, the day they both spent the morning with their father q!Vegetta, but he almost regretted it immediately afterwards because he didn't want Leo to die "because of him" just like he feels it happened with Bobby, Tilin and JuanaFlippa (even though we all know it was his fault at all). That day with Leo was the first time since Bobby's passing that an egg was alone in his care and it paralyzed him for a moment.

In the end he didn't back out but did Leonarda's chores as fast and safe as he could, until it was time to read her a story and they ended up in his castle: he wouldn't let Leo go up to the top of the tower (with the excuse that it had a bad smell) and when they entered his old cabin he wouldn't let Leo go up to the third floor, to Bobby's room. GOD he wasn't even able to go up himself, if you watch the VOD you can tell that he climbs up a couple of steps of the stairs but in the end he regrets it and runs back down to the first floor.

But he did it, it was a breakthrough and it gave him more confidence to deal with Richas alone, he faced his fears and gave himself the opportunity to love again not only one but two eggs, to protect and care for them. Roier was finally healing. A dangerous dungeon did not allow him to save Bobby but he did with Richas that time he accompanied him to take care of q!Quackity, Leo might miss q!Vegetta and q!Foolish but there was q!Roier there as his adopted relative, just as he was for Tilin. Now he could allow his son Richas to not only come up to his son Bobby's room, but he allowed him to take a bath in his tub and use his old gamer pc. It was slow but sure and, above all, healthy progress.

But now all the eggs were gone. They all vanished in one fell swoop. And everything fell apart.

The terror of losing his children again paralyzed q!Roier, forcing him into a coping mechanism that made him joke about the situation. "They're dead, very dead" he repeated over and over again. Making it seem cruel to anyone who didn't know him or like he was simply resigned to the situation or didn't care, but that wasn't the case.

He was only hiding his fear while facing his past traumas. A past in which he held out hope that his son would be returned to him only to crash with the cruelty of only seeing him again for ten minutes and then saying goodbye forever. He didn't want false hopes again, he preferred simply not to have them but deep down, deep down, he wished he was wrong. He wished that his jokes were just that and that all the children would return safe and sound.

But days have passed, even weeks, and they have nothing. Only signs that make him believe that he was right all along: the eggs are dead. It is no longer a joke, it is slowly materializing into a reality.

Then he stays up all night without sleeping. Just repeating over and over again that joke that turned against him:

"They are dead".

Once again Roier expresses himself through his appearance and actions: The bags under his eyes are getting darker as the days go by, his skin has paled (a sign that he hasn't eaten well either) and his hair looks more disheveled every day. He doesn't care about combing it. He doesn't care about looking good.

He is lonely again. Even with the certainty that his husband is with him, by misfortune of fate they have not been able to coincide. That only makes him even more isolated.

His mouth repeats over and over again that he is fine, but his whole body screams that it is not true. Those who saw him yesterday have realized: Roier is not fine.

And it terrifies me to think that soon his body won't be able to take it anymore.

[mcytscienceside]

YESSS omg so many interesting dynamic

Ramon turning up on Blue with Fit brings us Dapper and Ramon being the frenemies ever (they lovehate each other)

And also Dapper would somehow get into all the higher ups meetings, and him and Tubbo would have the funniest beef ever /affectionate. It’s like every meeting Tubbo plays the game how to find Dapper’s new hidy hole before everything especially important and serious is revealed. He is a good sport about it though if Dapper finds an especially good way to sneak in and hide.

Em, Pepito and Sunny as the youngest are the most protected ones, and often they ended up spending nights together in a cuddle pile under so so many blankets. Tubbo often falls asleep next to them in an armchair which he is reprimanded about by Pac and Tina each time.

Tilin would be so on edge when they get there with Quackity, especially because Bobby, Jaiden and Roier all end up on Red. I think she might be the one to run away.

Pomme, Richas and Dapper would have secret meetings, whenever they can.

Tallulah can’t help but like Tubbo, but she despises Sunny when they first meet. Hard to say why. Meanwhile Chayanne not only adores Tubbo in his own way (despite being very loyal to pa Phil and the kingdom), but also actually finds Sunny cool and funny. He can’t show it outwardly though to not upset Tallulah. But he does sneak his cooking (mainly happiness cookies) to Sunny as gifts when he has a chance.

Bobby and Richas miss each other so much. Maybe Pomme actually takes Bobby as well to her meet ups with Dapper and Richas sometimes.

I don’t know how, but I think there should be something with Roier and Pepito. Maybe Bolas kidnapping Pepito for some reason? And Roier is forced to take care of the kid hostage (they don’t hurt Pepito or give Pepito basic necessities and care because a) Pepito is a child b) Pepito is an important hostage for political reasons).

Rivers would teach the kids sword fighting. Forever and Niki would teach them stuff like geography and literature and languages whenever they can (most of the people will more or less participate in their teaching, but those two the most because they are the best at it).

Bolas do not believe in academics. Forever was green kids’ teacher before as well, but he did have much less time for it because of the more workload.

Pierre works on building robots for all the kids. Just in case.

I think Sunny and Tilin would become unexpected friends while Tilin is still with Blue (in the storyline where he runs away. If Tilin stays, they are still friends).

Empanada and Chayanne have a recipe exchange. This is their only communication – sending each other recipes as letters.

Trump might run away to Blue. I don’t know why, but I think it might happen.

YOUR COOKING!!! YOUR COOKING!! HEHEHE OKAY WAIT GONNA PUT MORE THOUGHTS UNDER READ MORE!!

I will say that Bolas would have academics but it would be MUCH different then what the green kids are used to. What they learned of their solarpunk style tech and magic is instead replaced with lessons on rituals and how to run the bolas technology. They teach the kids how best to use a new magic, one that runs on fire and blood, and some take to it like water while others ademently refuse to learn this stuff.

and the kids sometimes becoming hostages would def be an issue, it's why Bad is so protective of dapper, what better way for them to get to him then through his kid?

So when Pepito is taken by Bolas? I think Bad would have to be held back from literally causing a disaster, he wouldn't focus, he'd be SO angry that it takes multiple people to snap him out of it without causing an earthquake or the volcano to erupt. Also the night crew all meeting up for meetings im soooo :(, they probably wouldn't tell anyone cause much like his dad Dapper is paranoid, he'd definitely not allow anyone like Cheyanne find out or even some of the younger kids who might tattle on them to Tubbo. And Dapper trying to listen in is sooooo wahhhh, Him and Ramon becoming x2 sneaky when they're together and it takes everyone searching the room to find them before any meetings. Tubbo thinks they're very smart but should not be listening in on the serious issues surrounding this intense war. Negotiations can get...heated...to say the least. GOD HEHHE OKAY SO MANY IDEAS TY SO MUCH MY GUY!! These are so so good HEHHE

[murky-tannin]

Yes!. I think the non linear aspect is one of my fav parts of it all.

I will note in response to your questioning if you missed stuff, there were indeed things before the first arrest.

A more well known example being in the first week Pac nervously asking Cellbit what his plans for the day was, Cellbit pulling a knife on him, then laughing it off as a joke when Richas got between them as Pac cowered in fear.

Also regret arc brought a lot of this up, I still remember how distressed Pac got noticing Cellbit's eyebags and being reminded of Cell, trying to warn others.

Not the only instances of this kind of stuff but unfortunately i was less fixated on Pac or Cellbit at this point in time and mostly all I'm left with are vague impressions of things.

Plus retcons as well as statements about how the characters felt in that earlier era made in retrospect of modern characterization.

For a big example the esconde-esconde stuff WAS explicit canon and important, and then got retconned in later months. I thought it was just them forgetting (and for a while it was) but they've committed at this point to "they have no memory of meeting each other post escape" and I've had to accept that

When it repeatedly is stated in lore convos (a recent example being qMike discussing his relationship with qCellbit and how it developed to qBagi) it feels pretty firm as a choice. In my heart they still befriended each other pre canon though, as technically their memories are erased and there is still room for that in the timeline </3

But yeah aside from all that stuff, It was still much better then current times. I think their genuine friendship (even if it wasn't as fully separated from the past as you may remember) is so important and just. Agh. I'm constantly refreshing the tag because I want pre egg-missing era fics about them sooo bad.

It's really easy to not think about the past when dealing with the amount of things they were (missing memories, mysterious island and new people, coparenting a kid, federation, new understandings of how the world works with discoveries of new species of animals/monsters/certain magic stuff/etc, making and maintaining their own houses, creating their own food and water and soap and clothing and just. menial work, etc etc etc) and In my mind that played a big part in their early days.

There were some conversations, but a lot of what kept things that way were Pac and Cellbit not being freshly traumatized and thrown back into the ptsd mindsets. (Though in Cellbit's case, a very specific form of that mindset as he was in a very bad place ever since the hallway)

The trauma was still there and still influencing them both, but it wasn't so overwhelming and there was so much more to focus on, specifically stuff that put them together in dealing with it. A solidarity they never found in the prison escape but one they instantly fell into that first day on the island.

Anyways. They were friends and loved and cared for each other and dicked around a lot and it was great even if it wasn't perfect and then outside factors made things worse, and when things are worse you get worse. Because recovery is non linear. And this is a big part of why Cellbit and Pac are so interesting, and I agree with you

I need to see more fics of celltw being friends and close family (and queer) i miss it so much but i have too much on my plate to write it myself right now… adding it to the list though

Who is amanita!!!

amanita is a loki oc!!  i’m still trying to figure out her faceclaim but i know she’s south asian.  i’m considering richa moorjani rn ? but i’m not totally sure.  anyway.  she’s an artist that does product design for the avengers and she’s also a tattoo artist, she meets loki after endgame (loki has a really complicated endgame plot but the important thing is that: he comes out alive lol).  he kind of continues his ragnarok redemption arc after endgame, initially being forced to do stuff by the avengers but eventually figuring it out and becoming Redeemed of his own accord.  

amanita and loki meet because she’s making a hulk smash tee shirt that includes loki being like demolished like in the first avengers, and he’s like “this is an OUTRAGE” and storms into her office, prepared to fight whoever it was that designed the shirt and she’s like hi can i help you.  loki is ready to fight her but the avengers have like muzzled his powers somehow so he’s not actually magical at the moment, but anyway.  

i wouldn’t call them enemies to lovers but it’s definitely a hero/villain redemption arc ship.  loki’s still kind of bad when she meets him, and mostly motivated by his own interests (fighting thanos was in those bc he did not want to Die , lol) so when they meet she’s like generally unimpressed with him because of that and also the fact that she was personally terrorized by a chitauri during the battle of new york.  he continues to annoy her.  

eventually something happens where they’re both kidnapped by whoever the bad guy is in thor 4 or a different thor related bad guy and they have to work together to save their lives and i think loki ends up summoning enough magic to break through whatever the things stopping his powers were, then he helps them escape, and then he promptly passes out from weakness and amanita’s like k we both saved each other.  now we’re even.  

pretty sure the fic is just a bunch of ridiculous situations happening where they’re stuck together (red string of fate type beat) until they actually become friends, and then friends with benefits, and then lovers.  

amanita also has a young daughter who adores loki even though she’s fed up with him.  it’s very much like a lucifer/chloe/trixie dynamic if u watch that

8 Common Sexual Fetishes

Most of us nurse hidden fetishes. A fetish is characterised as an obsession, not just something sexual that you are attracted towards. Sex expert Dr. Rajan Bhosle says, “Sexual fetishes are nothing more than unconventional, yet harmless sexual practices. There are many, which border on the unhealthy. One should understand that having a fetish is not abnormal, everyone has fetishes, but it’s just that we nurture them within set limits. There are different degrees of fetishes that range from mild to extreme.” He further goes to explain that if, “one is attracted to blondes that’s one thing, but if you are unable to get aroused unless you’re with a blonde, then you likely have a fetish”. Fetish can be particular from individual to individual. They fall under three categories – media, form and animate. In the first category, a fetish is developed for a particular material with which one is obsessed with such as rubber, leather, latex, and silk. But with form fetish, it’s the shape of the object that gives a high such as a woman’s stilettoes, knee-high boots or lingerie. On the other hand, body parts like feet, hair, buttocks or breast are called “animate” fetishes. It’s important to understand that fetish preferences differ from individual to individual. “Generally it’s seen that a fetish is accompanied with certain feelings of guilt or shame. Try and seek other people who share the same sexual desires and practice it,” opines sex expert Dev Karan. Some of the top fetishes that couples seem to posses: Body piercing: Ask the younger lot and body piercing seems to be a top fetish amongst them. Interior designer Priya Gill says, “A pierced body turns me on. It can be anything from belly buttons to tongues and eyebrows. Everyone should have at least one body piercing in “that” place to create a feeling of arousal”. Dr Rajan Bhonsle puts in a word of caution saying, “One should be very careful as to where he has got the piercing done from. The area should be free from any kind of infection and kept clean. One should also try to sterilise the ornament they are wearing”. Latex fetish: Men love material. The “bad” and “naughty” are always attractive. Model Rahul Mehra states, “My girlfriend’s wardrobe has loads of garments in latex and leather. It’s quite a turn on for me and gives me pleasure, making me more innovative in bed”. Watching a woman move around in anything tight and shiny is a tease in itself. Dr Shekhar Shah says, “The hygiene factor is very important. Sweat blisters must be avoided. Signature stockings are common with women. Latex gear also acts a catalyst. Fetishes are, most of the times related to some object or palpable thing”. Fetish of having sex with a sex worker: The high from having adulterated sex with a sex worker gives a kick. Sayali Singh, a student openly admits “Though I am into a relationship, but last year for the first time I made out with a gigolo. It was extremely exciting as we tried out new sexual positions as compared to my staid boyfriend whose company I don’t enjoy much”. Sexologist Dr. Shekhar Shah highlights that, “while having sex with a prostitute, one should be clear that the person is free from sexually transmitted diseases or he has to pay much more for a fun of a few minutes.” Voyeurism and display: Many couples confess to being turned on by pornography or watching another couple in the act. HR executive Raj Kaushal admits, “Watching a porn movie makes a lot of difference to my partner and me. Erotic scenes give us a high”. On the other hand there are couples who liked to be watched or even video tape their sessions to later enjoy viewing them. Dr. Rajan Bhonsle explains, “This is a common phenomenon as porn movies are meant to give both partners a sexual boost and inspiration”. Fetish for body parts: Having a fetish for body parts is a sexual interest most people have. Be it your partner’s hand, feet or even nails – it’s a sexual high. Journalist Ishita Mehra says, “My boyfriend loves it when I run my long nails on his back and he says that it arouses him”. The largest global study of sexual kinks conducted by the University of Columbia reveals that the feet and shoes are by far the biggest turn-ons. Dr Rajan opines, “The body part when well displayed acts as a turn on. The feet and objects associated with the foot are the most common fetishes”. Braids and ponytails: A woman’s hair has always been a fetish for men. Blondes, brunettes, red heads, long haired, short haired, thick hair or curly haired – men enjoy the feel of a woman’s hair. Raj Kaushal says that, “any girl who has a funky hairstyle or indulges in experimentation with her hair attracts me. I think it’s attractive and sexy”. Hair is used as prop most often in sexual sessions. Dr Dev says, “Men love to play with a woman’s hair and get naughty. Even a slight f difference in colour or texture excites them”. Unusual outfits to enhance sex: All one needs is to get more creative as Richa Sahoo, a PR executive explains saying “one day I had dressed like a nurse and then my guy’s excitement knew no bounds. He was all charged up with passion”. Dr Rajan explains, “This is very common amongst couples who love to experiment with role play.” Group sex: Some couples consciously choose to involve other people in their sex play. Software Consultant Richa Singh says, “When I heard first about group orgies I found it to be weird and kinky. But gradually I started living my fantasies; it was a sort of my secret desire which came true”. It’s only necessary to seek help if any harmful consequences are emanating from your sexual habits. Dr Dev says, “Whenever involved in group sex be sure that none of the partners have STD infections and proper hygiene is maintained. Also take care of the place where all of you have got together for the act and ensure it’s a safe spot”.

Oh no XCOM Mike D: at least XCOM Pac saved him (as he should, in every universe).

Alright here we go:

abt the rose---fhdjsk i got so excited that Cellbit had a rose from Death Family that i straight up forgot "oh yeah phil didnt give it to him chayanne did phil didnt even notice lmao" BUT STILL! And yeah from Chayanne it's vvv intentional, because he doesn't just hand people flowers like Tallulah does. not entirely sure where Chayanne and Cellbit stand with each other. Cellbit is his tio ofc but beyond that? idk i dont remember much of their interactions pre egg disappearance. at the very least Chayanne knows that Cellbit is important to Phil so he gets a Rose rose :]

LOVE the idea of Richas nabbing the tea bc he knows his dad is Traumatized. Richas was in purgatory too he knows The Tea and he knows it would bring up bad memories.

exhausted dads being taken care of by their kids we love to see it (yes i have indeed seen your missions list for your au. i actively live in fear of it. i am going to get my Stuff organized and finally write something for archivists i swear <-delulu, been saying this for months)

yeah all around, Cellbit does not like the person he became in purgatory. he does not like himself. and it's so much easier for him to compartmentalize himself into the "good" version of himself (cellbit, quesadilla island) and the "bad" version of himself (cell, the prison and purgatory)**more on this later

yes exactly! Phil isn't a good man, but he can wish good upon others and want to keep them safe.

and it was at this point that i had a whole section written wondering about how Phil would react upon hearing about the shit Cellbit put Pac through, and when he would see Cellbit as "crossing a line" because Cellbit is one of Phil's friends but so is Pac and Cellbit is hurting Pac and etc etc etc and THEN i read down more of what you said and. i was not aware that Phil knew what Cellbit was doing to Pac during Purg1. and never got on Cellbit's case about it. so.

*crumples up paper, tosses it in the bin, pulls out fresh paper*

(is it obvious i didnt actually get to watch a lot of purgatory yet. is it.)

(also the bullet points don't line up with your reblog-post at all anymore im working off of vibes and vibes only)

you're right about the guilt complex, though. if there is ANY conceivable way Phil could have stopped a loved one from going through something, could have protected them, he will mentally shoulder all of the blame. (i can't think of an exact example off the top of my head but you know what im talking about.) he's a very "i should have been there" person, expecting himself to be everywhere at once and protect everyone. yes i am almost certain he lies awake at night thinking about how he should have saved them.

i do think Phil is aware of how much the other bolas members looked up to him, even if he personally doesn't see/understand why. i hate to bring up the fact that they (JOKINGLY JOKINGLY JOKINGLY) called him "dad" as evidence in my point, but come on. he was a guiding influence to them. he spent a good deal of his time in purgatory offering moral support, holding them together. then again if asked he will deny deny deny because he never sees himself as a leader. hrmmm bird man i want to dissect you under a microscope, what are you thinking. either way yes, he'll probably shoulder at least some of the blame here for Cellbit's (and Baghera's) spiral.

PUTTING QCELLBIT ON TOP OF THE FRIDGE FOR TIME OUT UNTIL HE PROCESSES THAT SHIT!! again, it's so much easier for him to compartmentalize than process. like, he says it himself, "i have a new start, i feel like a new person" (<-not exact words, something to that effect) like!! yes he's putting all of that behind him, but he's separating himself into the "better" version (cellbit, quesadilla island) and the "bad" version (cell, alcatraz and purgatory) of himself without realizing like, bro? that is just you? suffering from vast amounts of trauma? and not coping well when shit gets rough? and shoving everyone away when it happens because you hate the "monster" you've become and thus not getting the help and support you need?

you know, thinking about the compartmentalize-and-move-on in the context of his backstory---do you think that's something he learned to do in the war? like, you don't have time to process the dead bodies or the fact that you just nearly had your eye stabbed out or how you just ate a fellow human, you have to run from the people chasing you, line up your next kill, find food, water, survive. and now he's just applying that on a much larger scale, to his life in general. always moving forward, always running never looking back. (<-aw fuck. yeah. as i write this im realizing this is currently a line written in Prime Meridian: "run. don't look back. okay?" i think should work more of this theme into Little Dagger AU)

Getting back on track: "Do you think knowing Philza is more complicated than just a good, protective, strong man would reassure him?" IT COULD!! because yeah, he's struggling with the fact that he's not a "good person at heart" so when things get bad he falls HARD into the "im terrible irredeemable monster i don't deserve to live" mindset, whereas Phil is,,, kind of at peace with it? we don't actually know too much about Phil's backstory pre-island, but yeah, we've gathered details. Cellbit definitely recognizes that Phil isn't always one for "ethical" practices but probably doesn't realize how far that disregard for what is considered "ethical" goes. and if Phil can still hold his family close and freely love and be loved despite it, maybe Cellbit can too.

if Phil's kids can get him to sleep in a proper bed for the first time in months, then he knows that Richas is gonna be the one who's gonna get Cellbit to take care of himself. they're both weak to their kids and Phil knows it.

spinning them around in my brain!!!!!!!!! spinning and spinning and spinning and spinning and

*returns to yours* I HAVE THOUGHTS! NOT COHERENT ONES TOO SLEEPY AND NEED TO SAVE COHERENCY BUT THOUGHTS!!! MOSTLY ABOUT ISLAND TEAPARTIES AFTER THE KIDS ARE ASLEEP WHERE CELLBIT AND PHILZA DRINK TEA AND PHILZA TEACHES CELLBIT ABOUT STARS AND CELLBIT SLOWLY GETS BACK INTO HIS ENIGMAS AND THEY BOTH BITCH ABOUT TEA BUT DRINK IT ANYWAY BECAUSE IT HAS GOOD STATS

YEAAH!! YEAHHH!!! Okay okay okay so I meant to ramble more earlier when you initially responded to my ask and then I got sleepy and conked out and now it's super early for me, nailed it lmaooo. so anyway just like a couple things i noticed abt this scene *rolls out a scroll of notes, the bottom hits the floor and bounces out the door cartoon-style*

Chayanne gives Cellbit a rose!! Idk if Rose still has influence here (I'll have to sift through Phil's VOD to see if he says anything abt Rose, yesterday I mainly watched Cellbit's POV) but he's protected now!! That kinda folds him into Phil's "closer" circle of friends/family since it's primarily them who carries the roses for protection so!!!!! I'm!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE TEA!! Yes the tea the way the tea immediately broaches the topic of purgatory, and yeah the audible wince in Phil's voice after Cellbit says the tea triggers him and Phil agrees. Yeah it's so shit and they're both so sick of it but it's so OP. Phil survivalist (hardcore) :handshake: Cellbit survivalist (hunger games/"The War"), do and use what is necessary to keep yourself alive.

And AAA!! Yes, okay okay so like you remember that idea abt Phil and Cellbit having late-night convos at the Order pre-purgatory? This is basically that!! It's late at night, they're getting caught up with each other, they've both got the shitass tea and it's going cold and!! In my head this scene goes on for a full night and they just sit and talk and talk and talk, eventually conking out when it's late, just like old times EXCEPT THEY HAVE THEIR KIDS NOW WHICH IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT BROUGHT THEM TOGETHER, THEIR DESIRE TO FIND THEIR KIDS, AND THEY FOUND THEM!!! (I should write a fic i NEED to write a fic, me vs the 754389 wips in my brain; in my head they still had late night convos in purgatory when their "play time" timers lined up, phil waking up early enough and cellbit staying up late enough for them to talk while the others slept)

The way Cellbit still minces his words abt what he and Bags did post-purg 1 "we had our fun...bolas...style..." is it because he thinks Phil will think less of him? because there's children present? because his SON is present? idk how much Richas knows abt what Cellbit did in purgatory, Richas *did* rescue him while he was fighting eye workers but does he know about Cellbit hunting fellow players for sport? what Cellbit did to his pai Pac? I NEED ANSWERS

Phil's "Dude! No! Oh my god... D:" to when Cellbit says Roier was better off without him. PHIL WAS AT THEIR WEDDING. HE TOOK THE GODDAMN PHOTOS OF THEM AT THEIR WEDDING. HE SAW HOW HAPPY THEY WERE, HOW HAPPY ROIER WAS, WHEN THEY WERE REUNITED IN PURGATORY. Phil isn't close enough to Roier nor speaks to him enough to really understand the full extent of Roier's grief after purgatory 1, but it's gotta be hard for Phil to imagine Roier happy with Cellbit gone. Whether he believes it when Cellbit says "yeah Roier told me he was better" (doied WHEN I GET YOU---) is up for debate but I think about this constantly.

Phil fucking laughing when Cellbit admits he ate some of the eye workers fhdjsk. I can't get over the combo of Cellbit POV (in character thinking: "I'm terrible I'm a cannibal I'm a monster") vs Philza POV (cc who laughs at everything that is even remotely cursed) honestly, taking this as in-character (bc ccPhil doesn't mute his mic to laugh and he...usually does that for ooc bits while in the middle of rp), it says a lot abt qPhil that he's able to just laugh abt an admission of eating corpses. ethics who? geneva convention who? qPhil doesn't know her. munch on those eye workers king they're dickheads. (fuck, DOES qPhil know that Cellbit is a cannibal, as in, he has eaten not just workers but other players?? hmmm...)

"I'm sorry I couldn't do much as bolas leader" "It's better that you didn't see us...I think you'll be disappointed" "oh I could never be disappointed what do you mean shut up *laughs*" GODDDDDDDD also Cellbit trying to say he got worse after purg 1 and Phil saying "nah bolas is already at ground level" (either not understanding or indirectly reiterating that he won't condemn Cellbit for his actions, I can't tell) and then Cellbit just,, going with it. because it's not worth it to argue and he's trying to move past all of that now anyway. (QCELLBIT PROCESS YOUR TRAUMA CHALLENGE LEVEL IMPOSSIBLE)

watching Phil's POV now and HFDJSK you can't hear it on Cellbit's stream but Phil catches Richas as they're both leaving and says quietly, "Take care of your dad, Richas, n' take care." I'M 💥💥💥💥 (<-banging table)

Anyway!! This is what happens when the two characters I'm obsessed with interact for the first time in months. Over-analyzing a 5 minute convo. Sorry, it will happen again :] Praying they stay as neighbors I'd love to see archivists have more interactions!! And yes yes yes yes the tea parties with the kids!! Phil routinely chatting with Cellbit and watching him slowly "regain his color" as he settles back into peaceful life post-purgatory, falls in love with enigmas again. They've always trusted each other when they don't trust themselves, and they're both a Stable Point for the other. I'll miss what we never got to have with the leaders-of-the-Order-having-meetings ideas (timezones, wails) but I'm so excited for new island mysteries!! :D
