See, I was thinking he could just tap into your bloodstream. If he's hanging out in Rain's pocket we already know where he's getting the cells to convert from, and, well, why overcomplicate the system that's already there?

I may have just answered my own question by realizing that Rain would probably be turbo-weirded out by the more straightforward proposal.

You're right, they can't... Because it doesn't fucking exist to them.

been weighing the mid-season Starscraper placement + confirmation that we only learn more about Kpp'Ar's arm in S7 and...

I feel like the second fact is our biggest clue that Kpp'Ar is only being released from the coin late s6 / early s7. Which means that if depending on where his coin is (the castle or the Starscraper) there's a couple of options.

If he is at the castle, it means if Viren is alive his plans (?) to free Kpp'Ar are derailed until S7 / he more likely doesn't make it back because he runs into Soren or something, and then plot and Claudia kicks in.

If he's at the Starscraper... it could just be that there's so much craziness going on post-release, especially if Callum gets possessed, that there's no time / no one with the wherewithal to ask for more details about his arm. Which would make sense!

However if I had go with my gut for this (+ more reasons)... I think it's looking likelier and likelier, maybe, that at the very least there's an Attempt to free the Moon fam this season, and it's unsuccessful, because it's Mostly There to be the Risk that Callum takes to get possessed and subsequently free Aaravos

no yeah i really love how every core 4 member got a real happy ending....except for ej

nini is happily pursuing music in la with her moms' full support

ricky is dating gina, a girl he calls "home". he's finally becoming more at peace with love and how to show it. he's learned how to not run from his problems. his parents are getting back together (???) and his drama teacher wrote such a good letter of recommendation that he was accepted into a community college

gina becomes a literal movie star and was able to change the filming location of her second movie, without any consequences, to salt lake so she can physically be with ricky, the boy she finally got to date after crushing on him since the day they met. she has a permanent home to call her own now. her mom finally showed up to an opening night and she was finally able to portray gabriella

and then ej...is alone (in a wildcat sense) at college, financially cut off from his family, working multiple jobs to afford it. he spends most of his season 4 screentime guiding and helping others (ricky, gina, miss jenn, madlyn) instead of an actual storyline and a lot of his lines were about how he's made mistakes and has to live with them

Did you do a Dumaltor ship bingo yet? Asking for. Reasons. I think you know exactly which reasons.

RETURN OF THE SHIP BINGO RAAAHHHH fresh wave that smells suspiciously like it's been left out to sit for a while.

Alright so. Finally sharing how this came to be. Both because I've kept saying I would AND as a lil apology for taking so long-

Basically, it all started in *checks notes* 2021?? For those involved in this story anyway. Which includes the person who sent this ask. Nearing the end of the year the wizard server (at that point in time) was kinda joking around with the idea that every villain could come spend the holidays at the Black Circle house, since we decided they have a very big one, plus centuries of 'just hanging out' experience. Lot's of "Well those people HATE each other so they need to be kept apart or people are getting removed from the party >:((" bs, all in good fun. Then @duman-anon said something about Duman getting into the eggnog and I added a "That's how he ended up sleeping with Valtor" as a JOKE, but this proceeded to change the trajectory of that server for somewhere between. Weeks and months.

Takes were cooked up, half of us got to writing fics we either never posted or finished, then there was the art as well, all that stuff. It stopped being a joke real quick. @/4kidstv gave the ship 11/10 at some point btw. I doubt he remembers that, I doubt he even knew who Duman was at the time (or now), but I think about it sometimes.

You might be wondering! What's the appeal? They both have.. Monster forms.. THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN THAT BUT- It's one of MY personal favourite things. Teehee. Asking a man without visible wings "What's your wingspan?" is top comedy for me. Duman would be able to appreciate Valtor's demon form fr, he's finally not the only abomination in the roomWOW WHO SAID THAT. Anyway. I might not actively be doing anything with them, but I still appreciate them a fair bit. Though the Dumaltor fanclub ownership has absolutely been passed on to our asker over here smh!! I'll come back for it someday.

Tbh I think Valtor hanging out with any of the Wizards of the Black Circle, in whatever positive way, could be done more often. Like yeah, they could fight ig, but have you considered? Giving him some safe and healthy friendships? A wizard playdate? You can drop him off, he can stay for dinner, we'll see you at 10pm or something.

sorry if you've already mentioned but what (re?)ignited your love of comics/x-men/cherik? curious because there are so many different adaptations of them

i think im gonna speak for a few (or a lot of) people when i say that TL;DR the wolverine x deadpool movie that came out this summer is what pulled me back into comics and i COULD leave it there but i will go into excruciating and unnecessary detail instead because i love an origin story and i love oversharing.

under the cut tho because im nice sometimes (there's also wxdp doodles in here. if you want to see that)

ironically (and probably commonly), growing up i was more of an avengers kid. Kinda. Loosely <- binge watched the cartoons and movies and read copious amounts of comics and fics and i am hoarding fanart in my old dresser as we speak ok 'loosely' is a modest lie.

embarrassingly i remember getting into discus cause of captain america LMAO so yeah needless to say i was a Humble Fan- me joining my school's comic class/club didnt help either (shoutout to my teach from that she was the realest one out there for. A Multitude of reasons). she definitely is was inspires me to even draw still and make comics and i often think bout the tips i learned from her class tbh she was great

back to the movies t and comics tho, i got into em because my brother would offer to take me and that's how we'd hang out (i rarely saw movies in theaters and i even more rarely went anywhere as a teenager. still kinda like that today tbh ooops) and yk. it just snowballed after that.

my brother and i have always liked comics- he just more than me for a while (though he still very much loves comics and As We Know From My Posts we still talk about them whenever i see him To An Exhausting Degree)

durin then i was really into stony and i have a few surviving doodles i made but those are between me and god. and anyone who asks tbh LOL

'snap can you make this related to x-men again this is long' ok so fast forward to This Summer again I Still Don't Really See Movies but my brother offered to take me and this was the first time i'd actually seen an x-men movie in full

as a kid i only remember seeing the 'perfection' scene between erik and raven in first class while i was channel surfing. pretty sure i changed the channel after seeing mystique naked cause i was scared my parents would get mad at me if they caught me watching it LOL

BUT MOVING ON As A Kid i think it's also natural you'll sometimes watch 92 if it's on And I Did though evidently it didn't stick too hard (i do remember really liking beast and gambit though.... still do really): my knowledge of x-men was. INCREDIBLY sparse. like diabolically so so i didnt have too much expectations (aside from the fact i vaguely liked deadpool beforehand).

tbh i dont know why my bro never took me to see any of the x-men movies. it's not like he doesn't Also like x-men (90% sure nightcrawler's his favorite but my brother will be caught dead saying he has absolute favorites like that)- he owns a bitch load of deadpool comics/omnibus sets too (of which ive read over the years and reread this year) but Shrug moving on

Much Like Most Of The Internet i fell down the rabbit hole that way. i have some doodles i made a couple days after seeing WxDP that i now have an excuse to throw at all of you Look And Perceive

and so. As I Do. i got curious and told myself i'd binge watch all the x-men movies the week before i went back to school And Then I Did ft. My Brother Sometimes and then i said i'd binge watch all of '92 and And I Did That ft. My Brother Sometimes But Less So and now we're here. currently watching Evolution...

once i got to school i realized i lived near a comic shop and started getting into the comics that way (the first ones i got since going down this rabbit hole was Magneto Was Right!, The Resurrection of Magneto, and The Trial of Magneto. if you were curious !!!!! clearly i didnt care too much about context i just needed to see My Guy jelvejlkvj i have no regrets and Evidently ive read more since)

i'm pretty sure what dragged me into cherik specifically was the fact i saw a clip of The Famous ending to 92 where erik's aghast at the notion jean even has to question his love for charles. i think that was what officially had me refocus my lens on them: not a single poolverine thought after that LOL (all the cherik posting i saw on twitter definitely helped too but that was the nail in the coffin for any other interests i had: i was locked into cherik and x-men in general now)

that clip specifically, i was surprised at the fact they- frequently even- have the x-men franchise say erik loves charles and vice versa so bluntly. even if it's not meant to be romantic, i fear im just a fan of how casually the word's thrown around with them two and i got tender bout it all. Then Yk. i just live for the drama. the hilarity even. the sincerity .... they make me sick if i think of them too long so im gonna end it here

before i go tho ironically enough, the first x-men issue i owned was This one (story a this is that while stuck in some wacko dimension charles accidentally gets himself trapped in logan's mind while utilizing his astral projection. if you were curious). pretty sure i got it for free with another comic set i got years ago since our old comic shop loved to do that, but it's poetic aint it. maybe ill doodle something referencing it..

i should probably look into finishing this arc someday im Dummy curious to even know how it started and how it ends.....

“Soft-handed,” Izzy scoffs under his breath. He means: coward. He means: fool. He means: you never should have come here, and you most certainly shouldn’t have come back. You don't belong in my world; you don't belong at Blackbeard's side. Sooner or later this life will eat you whole like it did the rest of us, but you won't come out of it victorious like the rest of us did. But Bonnet beams at him, all teeth and sickening sincerity, as blinding as the first rays of the morning sun bouncing across the waves. His eyes are narrowed, though. Mischievous. Whatever he thinks he’s doing, he’s doing it on purpose. “Why thank you, Israel,” he trills; Izzy winces. “Izzy's fine.” It’s shorter. A precious one third of a second less of listening to Bonnet's voice. “If you must.” He means: keep my name out of your fucking mouth.

have you uncovered any secret meanings in sumpin’s a mess out west bc this song haunts my conscience?

ah yes, one of the sumpin's! very, very loosely it's a "bad things happen" song, or slightly more specifically an ominous things happen, but to get even more specific. its main chunk of uses is, unsurprisingly, in the crick arc of campaign 1, being these:

21 - Realizing something's not right in the West Crick as they arrive

22 - Peering out into the fog after the Froghemoth fight

26 - Beverly alone in the fog when they are all split up

28 - Marabelle implies Moonshine is her daughter

29 - Marabelle charms the crick rotted party members

and it specifically comes back for moonshine/marabelle's section of the split hell episodes: for describing anger and moonshine noticing marabelle's spores in 80, and for moonshine entering "marabelle"'s cave in 81.

outside of that it's used a few other times in c1-- arriving at the monster hunter (cran)'s cabin in ep 47, discussing the way to the shadowfell (and not having a way back) in 58, and handy andy investigating the montgomery's dining room in 64.

and then it gets a few c2 uses-- the top of the watchtower with the zombie birds in ep1, and then the spider moving around in the night in ep16/the spider's cave in 17-- and essentially one c3 use (at least that's credited)-- for the ruins of prince periwinkle's fort in 19.

immediately, there's a strong connection between this song and marabelle. her corrupting fog, her network, her spores, and interestingly her charm/connection to the party members-- saying moonshine is her daughter, charming them.

in a broader context though, i think the use of it is very consistent-- when it comes in, you already know about the threat (unlike, for example, unknown tome, which tends to come in As a threat is revealed), but the party is not quite confronted with it yet (unlike, for example, into the fire or snake skirmish, both of which are often the introduction to combat). it's, well, specifically meant to haunt your conscience, like you said!

in, perhaps, a kinder read on an unsettling song, sumpin's a mess out west is a warning!

the boobs know that the crick is in danger, they know that marabelle is the cause-- sumpin's a mess is them actually seeing marabelle's corruption and the danger she poses. or, moonshine realizing that marabelle is who she'll have to face in hell. or, arriving at this monster hunter's cabin, with no sign of a monster hunter, knowing they're nearby. or, handy andy discovering a body pinned to the ceiling of the montgomery's dining room. the top of a watchtower with a guard dead outside, just before the bell tolls to animate the ravens. prince periwinkle's ruined fort, destroyed by the silver serpent.

it's like... there's danger lurking nearby. you know it's there. what you don't know is where or how or when you're actually going to encounter it, or in a lot of case the scale of what you're facing. but you're going to find out :) just give it time :)

of course I recognize it, but I would love something for RB 2 Electric Boogaloo :>

[from this meme]

Ah yes. RB 2 Electric Boogaloo, also known as Something Borrowed, Something Blues, the sequel to Reincarnation Blues. I'll be honest, I've barely touched this one since late 2019-early 2020? My whole methodology of writing has changed since then, but somehow I'm still stuck on knowing what has to happen next, but not being quite sure how (or in what order). Maybe I need to try something creative with sticky notes.

I did start rereading this one from the beginning recently, though, to try to remind myself where I was and where I was going, and I have been working on it. Slowly.

Sample:

Where the shiny, modern glass-and-steel building that housed the Stanley Pines Memorial Library of the Supernatural had stood, now there was nothing but a flattened pile of rubble, still smoking slightly in places. Eldritch fire glimmered purple-green in between a few tumbled, broken concrete pillars. Bits of broken glass twinkled in the grass of the park that surrounded it and glittered over the asphalt of the road that passed by in front.

The motorcycle crunched over that glass and pulled to a halt, the woman in front putting a foot down to brace herself before pulling off her mirrored helmet and shaking out her iron-grey ponytail. An expression of melancholy crossed her face as she took in the wreckage, melancholy shading toward despair.

Archie could see why. He couldn’t imagine that anyone could have survived whatever calamity had destroyed the library – and, quite likely, caused that enormous percussive boom that had nearly knocked them off the road, earlier. Whoever they’d been coming to see, whatever information they’d hoped to find, whatever remedy to send the hordes of the undead back to their restless graves which they’d sought – all of it was now buried under the smoking ruin.

“Shit,” the motorcyclist said.

Archie found that, vulgar as her language was, he was forced to concur.

He’d only been staring mournfully at the ruin for a scant few seconds, though, before motion caught his eye. At first, he thought it was simply the smoke, or possibly one of those unnaturally-coloured flames, or maybe the rubble settling. But as he watched, a slender hand burst up through the wreckage.

Archie absolutely did not scream like a little girl. He had just barely escaped a gruesome demise at the hands of rotting zombies that punched up through the ground in a very similar fashion, anyway. If he had let out a short, masculine cry of distress, why – he could hardly be faulted, could he?

Whatever the reason, though, the motorcyclist turned.

For a split second, her expression froze, turning grim as she grabbed a piece of shattered rebar from the rubble at their feet. She raised it like a baseball bat as she took several careful steps toward the hand, which was now groping blindly at the broken concrete around it like, Archie thought a little hysterically, someone searching for a dropped contact lens. “Hey! Are you alive?”

For one tense, agonising moment, there was no reply.

And then, muffled, from somewhere under the heaps of concrete and steel, a voice piped up. “That’s kind of vitalist, don’t you think? What if I was a vampire?”

The motorcyclist sighed, a full-body release of tension, and swung the rebar down into the grass before clambering over the rubble to where the hand was still searching. There was an exasperated fondness in her voice as she started to pull the crumbling chunks aside. “Stars’ sake, Yaz, only you could think of something like that while trapped under a collapsed building.”

The exasperated fondness was echoed in the subterranean voice. “And only you would give me shit for it, Wanda. Hey, are you digging me out? You’d better be digging me out, or I’m going to haunt your skinny ass.”

“Yes, I’m digging you out,” the motorcyclist – Wanda? – grumbled, pulling aside a piece of girder as she looked back over her shoulder at Archie. “A little help, here?”
