#is kristen paranoid? who knows

[thecutepoison]

This is very speculative, but I'm suspecting Kipperlily is using the Ethereal Plane to spy on the Bad Kids and if I'm right I might have figured how she got found out by the rogue teacher!

First, let me explain my paranoid thoughts about the spying. Since ep 3, we are aware that Kipperlily is hearing their conversations, even if we don't know for sure the extent of it. She, just like Riz, must have a crazy stealth modifier + reliable talent, however I don't think she's relying only on that.

So, there's a scene in ep 4 when the Bad Kids roll for perception to spot Kipperlily. Kristen casts See Invisibility and Fabian rolls a nat 20. Brennan describes, only to Fabian, that although he doesn't see Kipperlily, he feels the "twinge of some kind of sense". Very creepy. That implies that she's there but cannot be seen. She could be invisible, however I don't think that's the case because an invisible person could still be perceived through hearing or touch. Also, Kristen would have been able to see her because of the spell.

With that in mind, the paranoid goblin that lives inside my brain is convinced that she's using the Ethereal Plane to spy on the Bad Kids. The Border Ethereal is perfect for infiltration and spywork, since you pass through physical objects and watch everything in the material plane without ppl there perceiving you. There are a couple of ways to access the Ethereal Plane, with spells or items, but I have no ideia abt the specific method she might be using.

Her being in the ethereal plane explains why Fabian, with his nat 20, didn't notice any physical indicatives of Kipperlily but still felt a presence, like some sixth sense. Now, Adaine did use her Third Eye so she could see into the Ethereal Plane within 60 feet and still saw nothing. But that doesn't mean that Kipperlily isn't there since there's a very easy way to circumvent Adaine: Non detection. This is a third level spell that hides the target from divination magic - for 8 hours they "can’t be targeted by any divination magic or perceived through magical scrying sensors". The Rat Grinders, long time haters of the Bad Kids, are for sure aware that Adaine is a divination wizard, they would be fools to spy on the party without casting Non Detection first. She's the motherfucking elven oracle!

Okay, now about the rogue teacher. In ep 3, Siobhan theorizes the rogue professor is the ghost teacher. I think she's absolutely right! We know most teachers of Aguefort and even if the ghost one was among those we havent seen, the Bad Kids would probably have heard about them if they were teaching something like ranger class. It's plausible that the reason for the party having no ideia who they are and not even passing by them in the halls is that the ghost is the rogue professor. After all, no one knows who the hell they are, it's the whole point of their teaching method. And for a ghost it would be really easy to go undetected since they can travel through the Ethereal Plane, beside the insane stealth.

Indulge my conspiracy theories for a minute. Rogue professor = Ghost Teacher and Kipperlily can wander in the Ethereal Plane, the plane of ghosts. Even with the advantage of being on the same plane as the teacher, it would still be a nightmare to find them since they are a pro rogue. In fact, Kipperlily didn't achive that: the rogue teacher found her.

But how did she manage to have the professor find her? I'm sure it wasn't an accident, she's too calculating for that. So, I started thinking about what would I do in her place and came up with the stupidest ideia. It's utterly ridiculous. But it could totally work and the strategy seems kinda Kipperlily's style.

Remember the Ghost Steak? The one Fig tried to eat when she invaded the teacher's lounge in season one? It's the ghost teacher's lunch, and Brennan reestablished its existence in ep 3 when Adaine used Ethereal Sight, explaining that the school wards are porous enough to allow ethereal travel and other stuff.

So if I was Kipperlily, my dumbass plan would go as follows: invade the teacher's lounge through the ethereal plane and hide inside the fridge. It wouldn't be a problem for me since I'm intangible and can pass through stuff, plus the other professors wouldn't see me even if they opened the fridge. Inside, I wait as long as needed, until the Rogue/Ghost Teacher gets hungry. They finally open the fridge to grab their snack, only to find me looking at them from inside the fridge like a lunatic. Mission complete: got found by the rogue teacher and aced junior year!

It's so mundane and stupid and that makes me more convinced that's exactly what happened. It's too funny to not be true.

I'm so here for the angst that inherently comes with time travel. But also, imagine the cute outfits they can wear! Also, if riz ever has to go undercover, or is in traditional goblin wear and is basically half naked, I'd imagine there's another "oh no he's hot" moments from the bad kids

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3

Once inside the town the bad kids head straight for the guild, trading in one of their MANY spare diamonds (Fabian has started to get a bit paranoid these days about his team members dying and them not having enough so they are all WELL stocked) for enough cash for room and board for the night.

Riz is still hidden in Fabians backpack and peering out through a tiny gap in the zipper while they're inside the guild but he cant see much since Gorgug has positioned himself in such a way that he can't see anything. He's done it on purpose because he knows Riz is already a little (a lot) on edge and he really doesn't need to see what the people two counters over are handing in for bounties. Its not likely that the goblins that group killed for those ears were part of Riz's family (Sklonda mentioned in the past that both her and Poks horde were strangely resistant to the demon kings thrall and went largely unnoticed due to the difficult-to-reach locations of their nests) but its still a pretty grisly sight that their rogue doesnt really need right now.

Two hundred gold is a lot of money and they enough for a room large enough for all of them for the night plus a substantial amount leftover for supplies. They keep getting odd comments about their outfits though so they all head to the markets to get more era-appropriate clothing once Riz is given a chance to stretch his legs in the privacy of their room before clambering back into the bag.

Fabain, Fig and Adaine all settle for some comfortable, high quality elven traveling clothes whereas Kristen and Gorgug opt for the more human styles they find in the markets. They're trying to dress to impress, especially since Agueforts biography says he's working for the council at this time and they need to get close enough to him to talk.

They manage to bluff their way into the council and manage to corner him to ask for his assistance. He's a lot more sane than their version of Aguefort since he hasn't experimented quite so much with chronomancy yet but he seems delighted to see them after they explain what has happened... and almost like he was expecting them... well actually more like it was totally his fault in the first place they're there. He's summoned them specifically.

You see, the council has a little bit of a problem at the moment. There's an item being guarded by the demon kings forces that they require for part of their plan to defeat him but no one has been able to get close to it. Mostly because once you're within a few hundred metres of it it dispells any disguises and cancels any spells currently active. Quite a problem when it's being guarded by goblins, and even if they could use true polymorph (not a good idea they'd be vulnerable to the demon kings thrawl) they'd still need a spell to convincingly speak the language since no one speaks Gukliak. Since these adventurers were the ones who were summoned surely they have a solution to the problem, right?

The entire party is side-eying each other and Riz just makes the most annoyed and resigned sound from inside Fabians backpack before unzipping it and poking his head out. Arthur is VERY surprised at the sudden appearance of a goblin but also curious because this goblin seems very polite (also look at his dapper little outfit). Riz explains that his dad was totally resistant to a demon kings thrall when he was working undercover and there's a really good chance he is too since it's genetic.

He gets Arthur to give him the details so they can get this shit done and go home already. The council already had part of what they needed ready to go and Riz is handed some 'traditional' goblin clothing so he can blend in better and he just looks so very unimpressed. He's explaining that they are very much not traditional goblin clothes they're rags. Traditional goblin clothing is actually quite nice, usually hand woven fabrics or soft leather that's decorated. The only reason why goblins are usually seen wearing rags is when you're being controlled or hunted you cant exactly do many labor-intensive tasks like making clothes so what you have is either tattered beyond belief or stolen off of bodies.

He gets changed into the rags anyway when they get close and it really isn't very much fabric at all. He doesn't look it when he's wearing his normal clothes but he's just as cut as Fabian from all the exercise they get adventuring, plus goblins are naturally lean anyway. There's only a little bit of staring from all parties involved as he puts his glasses and clothes away in his briefcase, leaves it with his party, and goes full rogue infiltration mode to go commit a little theft.

So, I believe Brennan went into the Last Stand exam with full expectations that the players were going to womp him in a pure combat scenario. There were almost certainly versions of this fight that turned out worse, but it's not an accident that they womped him, either. Gorgug got an absurd number of crits, but he was constantly rolling with advantage, which makes crits the most likely rolls on the dice. They had set up time, which let them load up their engines and get their shit running at full speed (it's why Adaine didn't take a hit until like...three hours into the fight, it seems like). He's played with them before; he might be surprised by individual moves, but I doubt he's ever surprised by their skill, you know?

The fight itself? That was never the real focus, aside from letting them all feel like true badasses who knew how to fight. It's almost a reward. The real focus here was the Rat Grinders and their machinations, and...well, above the table, I wonder what the scenario looks like where Kristen doesn't eat the eye. That's the closest he comes to getting truly surprised...but given the number of characters here who can get true sight equivalents (and how paranoid they all are about the Rat Grinders), I think he had to plan for the possibility for them to see her.

Either way: really great twist on the combat, puts everything in an interesting spot, and I also think that we're probably at a stage where...maybe the Rat Grinders are a bit on the run? They're so paranoid about making sure they've got everything covered that most attempts to dig the Rat Grinders out from under their rock could feel cheap

I'm ready to know more about the Rat Grinders' deal, anyways. They've been an important part of the story so far, but they're so peripheral to it that I'm ready to just...find out what the hell their deal is.

okay i wanna talk abt my fh sdv au a little bit just for funsies ebcause i may actually write fic abt it

adaine (the farmer) moves onto a farm that was/is owned by jawbone (who lives in the city) in order to run away from her family. antisocial teen fumbles her way through several social interactions and can be regularly seen in the mines. she absolutely hate jojo corp.

the rest of the kids already live in the valley (elmville) and know eachother/are friends. i think tracker, ragh, and a few otehr npcs whove shown up a dcent bit (eg max or torek) would also be there.

riz (private (un)licensed investigator, detective, and paranoid loser) is instantly like guys this is weird a farmer shows up on jawbone's farm and now theres a bunch of weird things happening around elmville they HAVE to be connected (to his credit, he's right) and goes full red string conspiracy theory

fabian quite frankly couldnt care less but riz wont shut up about her, kristen is mildly intruiged but mostly ebcause barely anything else happens aroudn town (she tries to go and introduce herself and both her and adaine fuck up the interaction so hard), fig is putting up continuously more and more eclectic quests and taking the opportunity to talk to adaine, and gorgug is actually friends with her. the thistlesprings have a shop that adaine frequents and gorgug talks to her while shes waiting for digby and wilma to finish whatever theyre making for her or whatever.

oh and also ayda is rasmodius

Ok, so, interesting dream that I had last night. My dream took place in season 3 of Gotham and it followed this kid, the kid was not anywhere in the actual show. He was a few older than Martin though. I have no clue where I my mind conjured him from, but anyway, this kid is staying at Oswald's house, I think he is the son of one of his employees? So Oswald offers to pay him if he can keep an eye on Isabella and tell him if she does anything suspicious because Oswald had a suspicion that she was not who she claimed to be, so the kid followed Isabella around for a while until Isabella tricks him and quite literally captures the boy and ties him up before stuffing him into a locker so she can deal with him later. The boy panicks but luckily Oswald can track him through the phone they had been using to speak, so he frees the kid who apologizes for being found. Oswald assures him that it is ok, he found all that he needs.

So, the next scene has Isabella in a copper bathtub (in Oswald's mansion, she is living with them in this dream and has essentially quit her job to become Ed's housewife, but the house that they live in is still Oswald's) and Isabella is drinking champagne and watching a movie since she has a television in the bathroom when Oswald walks in using the master key. She asks if Oswald has no respect to walk in his best friend's fiance while she is nude like that and he tells her he knows what she was going to do to the boy. She mocks him and asks if he was the one who put him up to it before claiming that 'Edward will sure love to hear what his best friend has been up to.' Oswald assures her that he will never find out and then pushes the television inside the tub, killing Isabella eletrocuted while laughing maniacally.

When Ed arrives, they tell him it was an accident, that the television must have fallen inside the tub. Ed is, of course, inconsolable, though Oswald tries very, very hard to console him, from wearing a lot more displaying outfits than he normally does to straight up asking Ed on dates just the two of them but Ed refuses. He is both too sad and too oblivious to understand. Everyone else is happy that Isabella is gone, however. She was a bitch in this version, not just to Oswald but literally everyone that wasn't Ed, and even Ed was not treated that great, but only when he disagreed from her. I'm talking Heather Chandler levels of bitch. She was a very fun to hate kind of character and the more she was around the more it was clear that she didn't have any deeper meaning for what she was doing, she was just kind of a gold digger who knew Ed lived with the mayor who was very much rich and fed off of their relationship. Oswald, paranoid as he is, had all these theories much like the fandom had that she was a clone sent by the court of owls or kristen's long lost twin sister, but no. She just happened to look like this guy's dead girlfriend that she saw in the newspaper once and decided to make the best out of the situation thinking that, if she played her cards right, Ed would keep her safe. She was just kind of a petty bitch and I kinda really loved her for it.

I remember that, while watching this I though, man, why did I hate this? This is really fun and campy, it is literally all that I love about Gotham. Why do people dislike Isabella as a character so much? Just because she is a mean bitch? She is the fun type of mean bitch.

But then I woke up and I'm like 'oh, right.' She wasn't a mean bitch in the show. They didn't even give her that much. And her death was literally the most convoluted weird bullshit ever that just wasn't fun at all. Like, in my dream she is quite literally killed by her greed as she is killed both by the man whose money she is using and a television that was by all purposes a safety hazard. She was a complete idiot and her death reflects that.

Her death in the show is just uninspired.

Right. So, c!Wilbur and Ghostbur.

The thing about c!Wilbur is that he's not trying to be the bad guy. He is deliberately trying to set himself up as a hero. And the way he does it makes him an asshole, and it's manipulative as hell--but I don't think that it's evil.

The thing about the Blade System AU c!Wilbur is that he grew up with Blades. He was raised by c!Philza the Aegis, with visits from c!Techno the Heartstealer. He gets the way the Blade System goes right--but also the way it can go very badly wrong. Blades are a lot more powerful than players--but the way their lives work means that Blades are always going to be the underclass.

So the first thing he does when he gets to the dsmp is to check and see if the local Blade in charge of the server will get upset with him. This check fails for several reasons--the server creator, Aegis!Dream, has been shattered, the server owner's Blade, Drista, is just in it for the chaos, and the Blade currently in charge of the server (as much as that applies) is c!Dream, who is hiding that he's a Blade.

That makes the server free real estate, yeah? So he creates L'Manberg; partially because he wants to, and partially because it'll fuck with Dream. And since there's no Blade in charge, he's fully within his rights to say that it is separate from the rest of the server. After all, if the Blades don't say it's not a factional server, then he's fully capable of making it one.

At this point, if c!Dream or c!Punz had come forward and said "I'm a Blade of this server and what you're doing is distressing, I don't want factions," then Wilbur would have listened. He's trying to build a narrative of being a good guy helping the underdogs, and the Blade System is something he is theoretically rebelling against. In fact, one of the subtle differences with this AU is that L'Manberg basically has rules about Blades built in--and those rules explicitly give them the right to be equal citizens. They say that anyone harming or killing a Blade, even if they are the Driver, would be treated the same way as permanently killing someone--a very real, serious murder charge. It even extends that justice towards the rest of the dsmp--which is one of the many overreaches that annoys Dream enough that it builds towards starting the war.

Which is all very well and good, but Dream and Punz don't trust that. In order for those rules to apply, they're have to out that they're Blades, and they really, really aren't going to do that. Purpled has also lived his entire life under this secrecy, so he's not going to tell (also it would require... talking to other people, and Purpled doesn't really do that). c!George is also not willing to tell--Dream is incredibly private about their Resonance and George understands that--also, Wilbur is annoying him.

Ironically enough, Wilbur would probably be the mostly likely to spot Dream and Punz out on being Blades--but Dream is basically stonewalling him as soon as L'Manberg starts, so Wilbur doesn't really get to see Dream's normal behaviors to get a good read. Punz is following Dream's lead in this. Wilbur also isn't looking to find them out as Blades; his suspicions about Dream are that he's some type of long-lived eldritch hybrid, and they only grow worse and more paranoid during the eventual Pogtopia breakdown.

Pogtopia goes pretty much the same. Wilbur does take the fact that c!Schlatt is able to go wild with Manberg as proof that there isn't really a Blade in charge of the server. At some point, post TNT and pre-detonation, Wilbur's mental state is unstable enough that he probably would consider killing a Blade to become their Driver (as per Dream's worst fears/nightmares) but it is only a possibility. I's say 50/50 will he-won't he, but it's never put to the test because the question never comes up--Wilbur dies never knowing about any of the Blades on the server.

~

Ghostbur is a thing, but the reason why he's a thing is different from canon. See, between Kristen being the Goddess of Death and Philza being a magic computer with a hologram body, Wilbur is not their biological son--so to extra powers from there.

The three lives system is a sign of the Egg's corruption--when Aegis!Dream and DreamXD created the server, they did so with an infinite lives system.

Ghosts are created because the Entity basically put a barricade up between life and death (this is limbo), so that it could steal the power from the souls that ended up there to help power it's Eldritch nature/abilities. Ghosts are echoes of the souls that end up in limbo. They are fragmentary and incomplete compared to the person that died because the Entity yoinked most of the soul. Unfortunately for Wilbur, the first L'Manberg War, plus the increased amount of Blades on the server woke up the Egg, and it re-instated the Entity's barricade shortly before the elections. It's eldritch nature meant it could retroactively apply the lives system to the L'Manberg War.

Theoretically, if the Egg is no longer using the soul, it can resurrect the soul in a body that is already corrupted by it. The Egg doesn't really do that in any major confrontation, because Wilbur is kind of stickly/bad at fighting, and is much more useful as a power source. It's better to keep his soul as a battery for an escape attempt rather than tossing another meat shield into the fray (when he's going to get shredded by the Blades going at it anyway).

I'm going to say that c!Vikkstar was the Blade and c!LazarBeam was the Driver, which means that technically the Egg has LazarBeam's soul too. But let's be real, if the Egg tries to revive LazarBeam to stop Techno and Phil, it's be like trying to stop a volcano with a piece of paper. So he also gets battery status.

The resurrection ritual left by Aegis!Dream and the Resurrection arte that Dream can use both cleanse the soul of the Egg's corruption.

~

Ghostbur ends of finding out who all the Blades on the server are, including Punz. Ghostbur finds out about Punz pre-Staged finale, and Punz ends of guilt-tripping Ghostbur into not telling anyone with the excuse that it'll make Punz really sad if other people know, and Punz might just go away forever. Ghostbur does not figure out that c!Purpled is Punz's Driver.

Ghostbur finds out about Dream being a Blade after the rest of the server does. Tommy tells him, after coming back from the Staged Finale. Ghostbur specifically ends up getting told because Tommy is talking at him as a way to try and verbally process the mess of feelings that happened when Tommy found out Dream was a Blade. It doesn't help.

~

Fast forward to post-Staged Finale. Ghostbur does not die, Wilbur does not get revived (yet). I'd argue that most of the reason Wilbur got revived when he did in canon was down to Dream's desperation about the situation--both the assassination attempt, and the ongoing, devolving situation in Pandora's Vault.

In this AU, Dream is not stuck in Pandora's Vault. He is with Punz, continuing their experiments on the far outskirts of the server. Ghostbur never really has a chance to find or interrupt them.

Furthermore, while Dream and Punz are going for an everbody-is-alive-and-immortal ending, that is very much Phase 2. They are still on Phase 1, fixing the Blade memory issue. The rest of the server are all quietly panicking in the Cold War where the main deterrent is that nobody knows where Dream's core crystal is/who has it. Reviving Wilbur into that kind of situation would be like tossing a bowling ball at a house of cards.

And even if Dream might be willing to risk it, Punz is also working on the Plan. And Punz doesn't like Wilbur. Doesn't like the way he upset Dream, doesn't like the way he started factionalism and governments on the server. Dream wants the server to be one big Happy Family? Sure. But Wilbur gets revived last, at the end, just before the reset. And since Punz is currently acting as Dream's Driver, that does influence Dream's behavior a bit as well.

I do think Wilbur would get revived eventually. During Dream's Syndicate Arc, he ends up spending a lot of time with c!Niki and Phil. Niki, who still wear's Wilbur's old coat and Phil who is still in mourning. Wilbur's revival would be after the rest of the plot/character arcs have been sorted out. Dream probably brings up the ability to Resurrect people as part of everyone sitting on Dream and Punz to make them explain The Plan.

Saturday, September 28th, 2024.

Can you unwrap a Starburst in your mouth? I doubt it. I'd most likely end up with a nasty glob of paper and candy.

What is the last thing you ate? A sandwich and mixed veggies.

Who is your favorite person to spend time with? My dad.

Have you ever had tendinitis? I haven't.

What brand of face wash do you use? I don't use proper face wash. I just use shampoo, which is probably terrible, but…here we are.

Do you know how to grill a steak? I don't think I've ever grilled a steak before. I've cooked one up in a pan, though, and that was fine. I mean, it's not an incredibly complicated concept.

What were you wearing the last time you were kissed? I have no idea. The last time I kissed someone was around 2012-2013.

Have you ever been to a purse party? I've never heard of such a thing. I don't even know what a purse party would entail.

Would you ever use an online dating service? I can't say I'd never use one (who knows - I might change my mind in the future), but at this stage in my life, I have no interest in online dating. Or dating at all, for that matter.

When is the last time you weighed yourself? Sometime around February/March of this year.

Do you mosh when you go to concerts/shows? I kind of moshed at a little local show I went to as a teen, but otherwise, no.

Do you like Gushers? I did when I was younger.

Are you good at multitasking? No. Especially not in somewhat chaotic environments like the animal shelter. Sometimes I'll get pulled in several different directions at once and something will inevitably be forgotten or overlooked.

When’s the last time you went to a nightclub? I've never been to a nightclub before.

Where did you buy your favorite pair of jeans? I basically don't even wear jeans anymore.

Do you have a large dog? I don't have any dogs.

What is more annoying: A sore throat or a headache? Headaches for me are typically migraines, which are much harder to function with than a sore throat.

What was your GPA last semester? N/a.

Do you like walking places? Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I wouldn't feel safe walking somewhere in my city. I used to walk to the mall all the time when I was a teenager, but I wouldn't do that these days. I'm fine with walking around the riverwalk with my dad or something like that, but as far as walking to a particular destination…no thank you. The farthest I would dare go would be the gas station near my house.

Are you a fan of bands most people don’t know of? No. My tastes are pretty mainstream. Some of the music might be a bit older (classic rock/90s/etc), but it's still relatively well-known.

What time is it right now? 1:58pm.

When’s the last time you wore goggles? Probably in my high school Chemistry class.

Have you ever been to Europe? No.

Do you yell at other drivers while you drive? No. I might mutter a bit about their driving, but I rarely - if ever - get to the point of road rage. Even just recently when I had that awkward near-encounter with a merging semi-truck, I was just like, "Ummm, okay, are we seriously doing this…?!" and quickly/instinctually maneuvered out of the way. In that case, I was more shaken up than anything else.

Are you good at playing Darts? No.

Can you legally consume alcohol? If not, do you anyways? I can.

Do you like zebra print and would you wear it? It's okay for something like blankets or home decor, but I can't see myself wearing it.

Are “school friends” and friends different to you? I'm not in school anymore, but I guess I do have "work friends." I get on pretty well with River, Kristen, and Riley, but I don't consider them to be on the same level as Ollie (my best friend). Like no offense intended whatsoever (because they're cool people and I enjoy their company), but I wouldn't want to hang out with them outside of work. Well, maybe Riley, but Kristen and River are far too young.

When is the last time you laid out and tanned? I have no idea. It's just not something I tend to do. Maybe all the way back in my backpacking days?

Would you rather date a brunette or a blonde? That's not something I take into account when considering whether or not I would date someone. Even when purely related to attraction, it depends on so many things beyond hair color.

Do you have friends in other states than your own? Ollie lives in California.

Have you ever fake tanned? (Spray or bed) No.

Do lots of kids at your high school do drugs? (At my school it’s normal) Again, I'm not in school, but hearing River talk about the high school she used to attend was WILD. It was not like that back when I was there. The whole grade school experience is just so different now compared to what I went through. Like, we didn't have tablets or anything like that. No cell phones with internet access. Just computers in the library or at home. It feels like a whole different world.

What kind of computer do you have? A Dell desktop.

Would you rather use colored pencils or crayons? Colored pencils.

Can you drive well? I'm coming up on my one-year relearning anniversary, so even though I'm okay at it, there's still a lot left to learn. Lots of little details and situations I haven't encountered yet.

What bothers you the most about your town? It's not really the city itself that bothers me (it's fine even if it does rank as the 2nd or 3rd most dangerous city in the state); it's more the location and the weather. I would much rather live somewhere in the mountains, somewhere with cooler summers and longer, colder, SNOWIER winters.

Can you actually play an instrument or do you say it to be cool? I can't.

Flip flops or Birkenstock sandals? Sandals.

Do you like breaded chicken sandwiches? Yeah.

Are you a fan of plug in air fresheners? I probably would be if I didn't have migraines.

Do you like mad libs? I did when I was a kid.

How are you? All things considered, I'm feeling pretty good. Friday's meeting went surprisingly well. I'm looking forward to returning to the animal shelter on Monday after taking a few days off. And I might be going to the Mountain Park tomorrow if my dad's up to it. However, the recent/ongoing situation with my mom was uniquely devastating and I'm still trying to figure out how to process/deal with it. It was also another one of those dreaded "blue sky traumas" - one of those things that crop up suddenly in the midst of an otherwise wonderful day and threaten to bring your whole world crashing down... I'll live, though.

Besides this website, what other websites do you visit frequently? Instagram and YouTube.

What part of your body are you most insecure about? Ehhh.

What's one food you would be surprised to hear that someone doesn't like? I don't think anything would surprise me at this point.

Do you think your voice is higher or lower than average? Neither really. It's probably somewhere in the middle.

Have you ever slept for such a long period of time that you felt tired throughout the next day? Possibly. That sort of thing is more likely to happen with naps, though. Instead of feeling refreshed, I just feel sluggish and out of it.

Are you comfortable discussing bodily functions with your friends? This just reminds me of the "I shit seven times a day" story Cassie told us about one of her boyfriend's friends. Like, y'all don't shit seven times a day? No dude, we most certainly DO NOT. You need to stop discussing that with your friends and start discussing it with a DOCTOR.

[warderfromtheborder]

Brennan spent a bunch of time establishing a couple things in the last two episodes:

1 Dead god trying to be revived

2 The name of that god is knowledge that cannot be given to mortals by gods

3 Someone/someThing put that god's name on Lucy's paperwork

For spies, figuring out how to use information you arent supposed to have is one of the main challenges, because when you act on secrets it tips your enemies off that they had a leak and they can start to identify you based on what you seem to know and where you could have gotten that information from. I think 'spies, curse, tongue' is referring to this concept of tradecraft-it's brennan trying to point the players that they need to focus on who is capable of putting such a secret into play, and Im sure that it will also be revealed as another part of Spyre's very tongue-in-cheek theology/worldbuilding.

And that idea of spies and secrets, is making my gears turn on what is this unknown god's deal. When you're hunting a spy and making no progress, it makes you angry, and paranoid, and more likely to hurt people you probably don't want to hurt. There's been a lot of talk at the table about rage as a bad partner to uncertainty, and finding the right context for anger. 'I liked you better when you were the Nightmare King'. Wasn't part of the climax of sophomore year that Cassandra became the Nightmare King out of fear, as a kind of defensive lashing out to protect herself from what she saw as a completely unsafe environment? What if this god's deal is specifically anger that is reactionary, that has to lash out at a target that feels like a threat. Slights, resentments, grudges, unprocessed trauma, perceived injustices that are actually just some shit that isn't anyone's fault. Cassandra's transformation at the mall was triggered by a very real hurt that Kristen failed to address, which then bloomed way out of proportion. The Rat Grinders hate the Bad Kids even though (as far as we know) they've never been hurt by them directly or via collateral damage. The Rat Grinders have turned the Bad Kids' success into 'special treatment, so now we gotta overturn the school charter to take them down'. That's not just jealousy, that's overblown anger. If I had to distill it to one single concept, I would say it's: Provocation. This god provokes anger at the worst times, carried along by other strong emotions and some amount of real or perceived hurt.

Maybe the stress tokens aren't a mechanic of 'oh you got five of them your character is disabled by blind rage', if they really are related to the rage stars from the mall fight they're probably going to be something like, 'the next time you feel slighted, or hurt, or endangered, you aren't going to be able to stop yourself from lashing out.'

It's also probably not a coincidence then that so much of Gorgug's story this season is about the context of rage, 'I want it to be justified'.

I can't wait to find out who is playing Iago opposite Cassandra's Hamlet in this story.

I'm so intrigued by what cassandra meant when she said "spies, tongue, curse"

The curator was actually the one who taught him about Charlotte and that he didn't have to be alone as a were-spider and he told him all about were-spiders and were-insects, which peaked his curiousity. After being locked up in a mental institution for being deemed as insane, he later took on the role of a serial killer thanks to a dark voice in his mind telling him that it's natural for a were-spider to trap and kill and eat. Of course he came to his senses and went to get help from Charlotte and the two of them bonded. It is also shown that he hears voices, sometimes he hears a female voice that is sometimes his mother's voice or his sister's voice, he has moments in which he feels he is sleepwalking as he has visions of himself waking up in his bedroom safe and sound only to find a trail of 'crimson spots' dripping on the floor and leading through the bedroom into the room of his sister, only to realize he killed his sister in the dream without knowing it.

Kristen is taking questions!  [Kristen Masterlist]

[pardonmysass]

I am so looking forward to finding out as well as watching the culmination of the student-body president campaign.

Like, we all know at this point that Brennan wrote Kipperlily to be Riz's foil and the idea was for him to run for student-body president. Of course, we didn't get this because Ally felt aggressively pulled by how type-A Kipperlily is. So rather than the head-to-head of two of the most stressed out characters, you have the Fantasy High analog of Tracy Flick going up against an ostensibly failed cleric who wears cowboy hats with cups of salsa and strips down to a sports bra and g-string at any opportunity.

But I think this has the makings of an even bigger climax because besides Brennan you know who was really looking forward to beating Riz in the campaign? Kipperlily. Because maybe (and this is all speculation), she sees this kid who shows up to the school with no friends and is paranoid and nerdy and sees herself in him. Except where she has her small group of friends who play itself by grinding XP in the forest, he jumps into an adventuring party of kids who have this amazing mystery to solve culminating in killing the vice principal, which cements them as the most popular kid in school.

I imagine she wonders what Riz has that she doesn't. How come she doesn't get notoriety, how come no one cares about all the work she puts in? Her grades are impeccable, her adventuring part is doing well, why does no one care???

So when she sees Riz also go up for student-body president, I know she imagined a battle to end all battles. Here she is: trained, ready, organized. She has all the backing she needs and everything is set. She'll win the race and show everyone that she. Is better. Than Riz.

But what happens instead? Kristen FUCKING Applebees, former chosen one of Helio, patron saint to a dead god, fuck-up runaway who lives with their guidance counselor in a haunted house, is barely hanging on by a thread. She not only steals the most perfect rivalry to ever exist, but she is doing it effortlessly. Every stupid, insane thing Kristen does (she tried to tour a steel mill, she campaigned to middle schoolers) is met with cheers and excitement. Kristen is WINNING and doing so (seemingly) without even TRYING while Kipperlily is pushing as hard as she can to get people's attention. The absolute WORST part? Riz is Kristen's campaign manager. And he loves doing it! He doesn't care about being president! He doesn't care about their rivalry! And if that doesn't send Kipperlily over the edge with ABSOLUTE FURY I don't think anything will.

I am so goddamn excited for this showdown. It's going to be so epic and I can't wait to see it!

What the hell did riz do freshman year to make him come up in Kipperlillys counselling file? I get that if you're fantasy goblin racist and/or a bully who hates nerds, you'd have a problem with Riz, but I don't think Kipperlilly is quite either of those things. Is it just because he solved a mystery good? I feel like she should be aware that stopping an apocalyptic threat has negatives also

okay so you know how like? golden retrievers will hold an egg in their mouth so gently? and that tumblr post about the person who put the egg in their mouth and immediately bit down on it? kristen (or fabian. fabian might) proposes that they try it (they are probably very drunk). adaine refuses to do it, but sets up an egg next to boggy and there’s a few tears shed over the two good round bois. fig does it and intentionally breaks the egg. kristen goes full monkey brain and also breaks it. fabian refuses to do it at first but gets peer pressured. he pulls out a quail egg and suddenly it’s a competition to see how many of those he can fit in his mouth. riz struggles to fit the egg and after a valiant attempt, cracks that bad boy open and nurses it like a fine liquor. gorgug is a golden retriever. he holds it so gently in his hands and he is so paranoid that he’s going to break it that he drops the first one. the second, though. fig takes a video and titles it “golden retriever himbo” and it gets a million views. gilear somehow gets roped into doing it and gets salmonella. kristen laughs so hard she pulls a muscle. twice. before she heals him. kristen was going to ask ayda, but riz wails about cannibalism and they devolve into a squabbling mess that ends in them just straight up throwing eggs at each other. eggs are now banned in mordred manor if there isn’t an adult there to supervise them.

I've been seeing ppl post headcanons for the dsmp lately, so I thought I'd gather up some of my notes scattered on my phone and post them here

I really like the sbi + Mumza dynamic and I decided to roll with the idea that the boys all get some sort of "gift" in exchange for being a servant of death (though they arguably don't do much serving, just a title Kristen smacks on them to justify watching over them), so there's your context for my terrible note taking

Mumza!

God of death

The queen, the overseer, the beloved

That's all :)

(Also used to have the resurrection book but lost the right to use it because apparently you aren't supposed to use it on ppl meant to be dead, but shhh)

Philza

Angel of death

Reaper, catches souls and hunts down ppl whose time is up

Immortal but not really, just lives really long and has the fucking god of death watching over him to make sure he don't get his ass beat

Wilbur

Not a reaper, more like an usher

Can still fuck with souls tho

Talks to spirits that can't move on from the living plane and deals with their unfinished business, then pretty much holds the door open for them on their way off to the afterlife

Writes about the stories the spirits share :D

Technoblade

The balance for life and death

Except he only works on the whole death thing

When the balance is tipping the voices get a louder until he does something, louder they are the worse the balance is

Basically he's a reaper who doesn't give a shit if someone's time is up or not

You know the whole "blood for the blood god" thing? Yeah that's pretty accurate

Phrase came from his chaotic phase where he went on full massacres and developed a small following of bloodthirsty fuckers

He didn't mind it cause it "helped with the job"

Now he's in his chilled out and totally not just running from a few hundred ppl who worship him as a harbinger of death phase, and maybe a few thousand warrants for his execution

Mans just does some quiet hunting now ☺️

Only servant of death who can't see spirits, if he did he'd probably get a lot of middle fingers

His job is causing deaths after all, he ain't cleaning that shit up

He also might be the subject of a fucked up reincarnation but I ain't touching that yet

Tommy

Cursed or some shit

Okay, okay, he's a walking rift between planes, there, ya happy?

The dude is phased between the living world and whatever plane you call the one gods fuck around on

Hence why he attracts gods and whatever else's attention

He's basically the embodiment of "foot in the door" or "one foot in the grave"

He can also predict deaths through his dreams or something idk

He can predict things that will cause death too (like oh idk… fucking L'manberg), but that's still stuck to only his unconscious mind

He gets nightmares about death a lot to throw him off tho, so he always plays it off as his mind messing with him or being paranoid

He can also tell where places have hosted a lot of death

*Cough* L'manberg *cough*

He can see spirits but can't interact with their souls

Dude also has terrible luck but that's probably just a him thing tbh

Loose headcanons

All of the family is technically dead, just not body wise. Their souls are classified as souls of death, a soul type unique to any servants of death. Because of the nature of their soul, they are dead- no light breathed back into 'em. It comes with perks however- they cannot take any damage to their soul (can't kill something that's already dead) and can't have it taken or anything like that. TLDR: death can't make life so we party with the undead

Death can speak to them through dreams, though it's not really dreams, they just die while they're asleep and get sent to her realm. It makes sleepovers interesting

Guided Evolution Chapter 67 Spoilers

Just want to say right off the bat. Hope you had a good break Moosh! And hopefully your exams went well!

On another note, ge!Dream count needs to start counting his days. Count your days creepy jaw man.

With that out of the way just wanna say how proud I am of Kristen.

Like she's going through so much, yet she's able to push through it and put on a brave face. Albeit, it isn't healthy for her to bottle her emotions inside. But she kinda has to do that doesn't she?

She's got two of her kids paranoid as all hell. An actual kid who is her son's best friend, and is putting all his efforts into saving Tommy. And she's got Foolish, who's grieving with the fact that his mother has been taken by his brother, who previously has tried to kill him on multiple occasions.

Needless to say, Kristen has to stay calm. Because honestly if she's not calm then she's failing. Besides, she does have Phil to help her when she needs a shoulder to cry on. She has Phil when nights are rough. And despite trying to be brave for her kids, she has them as well.

On another note, can't believe Charlie's been revived before. I breifely thought that he might've been revived, but I brushed it off. Because it just created a new question that didn't make sense to me. Why did it take so long for Dream to use the device on Tommy?

If the revival device has been used before, it existed before, why was Dream so adamant about taking Tommy in alive?

There's a couple ideas that I have, maybe it was a one time use device at first. But that seems too impractical to create. A device that can only ressurect people once? That device is probably so expensive to make, so at that point the device would be useless. Sure it can revive somebody from death, but only one time. The cost of that would be too great.

Another one is maybe Dream didn't know how to get the device to work on Tommy without his family interfering. Which is a higher likely-hood. Which is interesting in of itself. Dream couldn't just kill Tommy without somebody interfering when he takes the body. (Kinda distributing ngl)

I think Dream knew Tommy wasn't going to stick around with his family when he passed because of the poison he injected into him. So he knew it would be an easy nab. And if Tommy didn't leave, and stayed with his family. Dream would still have been able to get Tommy.

Because despite his family's best efforts, they wouldn't be able to catch Dream. He can just do some bullshit tech thing.

Also, I don't think Dream wanted people to know that he killed the famous Spider-Man. And took his body. Then it'd be obvious to everyone that Spider-Man is somewhere else other than his family—or what people assume of his family—killing Spider-Man where everyone can see would just put a target on Automata's back.

And also who's to say that Quackity, or Charlie, or even Sapnap, wouldn't stop Dream from taking Tommy's body? If they don't know about the device, but know he's dead and they're fighting side by side. Chances are they're probably not going to let Dream take Spider-Man like that. But that's just a chance.

There's probably some wacky answer as to why he waited so long to use the device. Maybe he underestimated Tommy, maybe he just wanted to mess with Tommy a little bit cos he's insane, honestly who knows!

But I think it's because Dream didn't want people knowing Automata had Spider-Man, and he didn't want to risk being stopped when he trying to take his body. He has a time limit yknow? Forgot how long the time limit was. (Too lazy to go and check through the chapters, but I remember Dream saying something about it). But it's not that long. So he'd have to do it quickly.

If he was ever stopped then probably means no more Tommy. But that's just a theory I've got. Honestly, really do love Guided Evolution. Glad you're back Moosh! Hope you're doing well!!

[cowchickenbeefpork]

honestly it does'nt even take that much to rewrite that arc, all the writers had to do with something like that is not side with ed. they acted like he wasnt being selfish with kristen when he was, you dont even need to make him out to be purposely malicous in this arc, all the writers had to do for this arc to not be awful is paint edward to be unreliable prespective wise.

Edward in the show has been shown to have empathy for others multiple times ( when Oswald's eye gets blown up, when he thought Riddler was going to hurt Lee, even after he realized he killed Kristen he started to cry and it's implied he cried until he passed out ) so the writing in the show feels more like they were trying to write him have a weird version of a paranoid-schizoid mindset ( something quite common in cluster b personality disorders, this is what causes splitting and it also is the mindset 6 month olds have) instead of him being a psychopath ( though the show couldn't decide between which one of these he was, which is one of the many reasons its hard to understand where they were going with him as a character) the show wanted it to be that he was both a heartless monster who knows his actions hurt others and doesnt care AND him being actually empathetic but doesnt want to be so he rewrites any wrong he has done to be justified by making the other person be the true aggressor, you can't have both

his whole thing about love being useless after he killed Kristen feels more like he just found a way to make himself not be a horrid person in this situation, he just found someone else to blame for his actions instead of accepting the fact it was his fault she died. he cant admit that he only liked the idea of her and chased atfer her becuase he wanted to feel nice and normal, instead of genuine love and care which was not selfish. ( i do think he cared a little for her but most of his care for her was selfish, the show acting like it wasnt is shocking.) the ultimate sin he did in this arc shouldve have been the fact he killed her, it shouldve been the fact he somehow found a way to justify his actions because he didn't want to feel bad about her death and reduced her down to just a object which helped him become a better man. she was only a object to him from the beggining, he wasnt trying to make her be that when they were dating but he sure continues to do that atfer her death.

if the show just treated it like that, then i think even the dreaded isabella arc could have worked, he couldve been chasing atfer isabella as both a replacement for kristen (the ideal traditional normal woman in his head) given to him by fate and both a puzzle to solve for why she even exists ( this would be the main reason, him factchecking if she was real just to be sure it wasnt a trap, if it wasnt then fate mustve blessed him with a second chance ) the writers couldve made isabella and oswald killing her be his karma for what he did to kristen, they couldve purposely made isabella be a bad and unhealthly fit for edward instead of accidentally writing that in, the writers couldve made this arc be where he gets put in the same situtation he put kristen in as karama for his actions BUT NOOOOOO ISABELLA IS JUST THE PERFECT MATCH FOR THIS PYSCHO KILLER SHES TOTALLY NOT MAKING HIM WORSE BY PURPOSELY TRIGGERING HIM

IDK if any of this makes sense, I'm not trying to defend Edward here I just think the arc would've been better if it was built to have ed have a narcissistic paranoid schizoid perspective instead of him being a misguided silly autist who doesn't know stalking is bad and is actually a good match for Kristen to an evil psychopath who yearns for the taste of fresh blood. the Kristen and Isabella arcs could've been so fucking good but the writers missed that potential

been thinking abour Kristen a lot lately! and how HORRIBLE Ed was to her! WHY DOES NO ONE IN THE GOTHAM FANDOM ACKNOWLEDGE THAT? why does no one talk about how Ed harassed, stalked, and manipulated this woman, finally got into a relationship with her, and then he murdered her in his apartment after they slept together. NO ONE TALKS ANOUT THAT AND HOW EVIL THAT IS?

for mine and my cousins rewrite we want it to be clear that he is EVIL FOR THAT BECAUSE THATS HORRIBLE!!!! his whole relationship with Kristen is awful its the worst thing. but yeah heres a drawing of him soon after killing her!

[amongmydove]

opinion on courtney love?

hi dear anon <3

this is a great question and a complicated one lol

it’s hard to make an accurate judgment about another human being without knowing them. that being said, i think courtney has had an incredibly chaotic upbringing and, because of that, an incredibly chaotic life.

it’s hard to ignore the media’s perception of her, but again, the media is heavily biased and often perpetuates false narratives.

that being said, there are various accounts of people who DO or DID know her, and it’s safe to say that she struggles with decency and her treatment of others, particularly other women. she seems to have been a deeply insecure person in the past, and appeared to have been extremely possessive and paranoid concerning her marriage to kurt.

as far as the conspiracies go, i believe justice should always be served to those who commit atrocities and if courtney is responsible for the untimely deaths of others (kurt, kristen pfaff, etc) then i sincerely hope she pays the appropriate price. she is no exception.

if NOT, i do feel deep compassion for her if she’s been blamed for the loss of her husband.

this is getting long lol but long story short: my opinion of courtney is that she’s had a deeply troubled life, and i sincerely hope anyone affected by her past actions has had proper healing, especially frances bean
