#it reminds me of dreaming actually hahah! was that the intention?

[heliosoll]

I thought Ravenclaw was a dead ringer for you 😱 hahah but your friends do know you better/more in depth so I can see where hufflepuff and slytherin came from!! I'm part of the 'slytherin doesn't mean evil' agenda and I do think you come off as resourceful and have that drive (fuck it we ball type type) + self confidence of knowing what you're about, but I do see puff a lot more than slytherin from your online persona tbh! Maybe you have more slytherin nuances that aren't easily detected, which is, ahem, very fitting of slytherin lol but I see a lot of that puff loyalty/patience and understanding from you. Maybe it might not seem like patience but I think the way you wait to understand a situation and hold judgement as well as looking for the greater good is pretty hufflepuff of u lol (also if you kindly answering repeat asks isn't patience idk what is 😭😂). Never seen a hufflepuff that would sit by and watch wrong be done without helping. I think ravenclaw was just the first thing that came into my head because you come off as kind of a logician to me?? Kinda??? Like think, think, explore, reasearch, think, plan, think some more and evaluate hahaha. Reading about your shifting journey, I did kinda surmise that you like to know a lil bit about everything and have that thirst for knowledge and info (hence the meme hdjsla) like instead of accepting what is given to u, ur kindof a truth seeker and the fact that you do all that research instead of going off blind faith is like ...dead ringer for ravenclaw LMAO. I'm totally over nerding this but i think its harder to come by such logic and drive for knowledge, as compared to having a lot of altruistic qualities! Nobody stone me for this but, it's easier to say someone is a ravenclaw with hufflepuff like qualities than the other way around because ravenclaw qualities are a bit more black and white and come to the forefront 👀 once you got it, u got it. (Im not saying one is better than the other at all btw, just comparing the two for the sake of ur question lolol) ofc i have no idea how you are irl but as for your tumblr persona, I'd slap a ravenclaw bumper stick on it lol - dreamception/delyala but I'll just make my anon emoji 💭 if possible hahah

damn baby you brought out the analysis okay!!

This is very interesting though, thank you! I see your point about Ravenclaw :) The friend who said hufflepuff actually considered ravenclaw at first but landed on puff eventually hahah so maybe that tracks! While there are definitely things you guys don't see about me, I think my personality translates somewhat well into my online persona. I definitely show more of my positive traits here and I try not to show anything that could make someone feel bad; I don't know if that's still puff?

I do like learning though so maybe ravenclaw is the one... hm..... will have to think!

DMBJ Explore with the Note Ep 2

Okay, I wasn't sure if I'd get to ep 2 today, but I need Iron Triangle shenanigans to cheer me up after the feels fest that was Train to Busan

So here we go! DMBJ S2 Ep 2!

The counts at the start of ep 2! 

Season 2 Xiaoge Rescue Count: 1 for Wu Xie, 1 for protagonists, 2 for everyone 

Season 2 Wu Xie Swoon Count: 0 

Cumulative Xiaoge Rescue Count: 11 for Wu Xie, 16 for protagonists, 18 for everyone 

Cumulative Wu Xie Swoon Count: 6

- Opening with Wu Xie wandering around somewhere, so I'm guessing this is another dream/nightmare 

- 'Somewhere' turns out to be a sunken ship 

- Minus all the water 

- I'm expecting a jump scare any moment now

- Not as bad a one as I expected, but still 

- a wild Sanshu suddenly appears! 

- This dream Sanshu being just as creepy as the dream Sanshu in the previous ep 

- And just as murderous 

- And now he wakes up thanks to Pangzi, and it's daytime now 

- Looks like the storm is over, too

- OMG Pangzi that is not how you're supposed to meditate 

- lol @ Wu Xie's confused reaction to it 

- Hahah, A-Ning was not successful in hiding the booze from Pangzi 

- Wu Xie, baby, I love your confidence here about there being no complicated traps, but it's entirely misplaced

- He definitely has to suspect that that's Xiaoge after the whole ghost ship thing, he wouldn't be giving that cute little smile otherwise

- Oh god, the English dubbing is so bad. The words and lips don't sync at all 

- And it looks like her boss is a foreigner this time? 

- This water is so murky 

- This swimming around underwater making exaggerated gestures bit could have been much shorter than it is 

- Like seriously

- It wouldn't be quite as bad if the water wasn't just this constant murky green so that you could actually see properly 

- But as it is I'm mostly just looking at this dirty green screen with some shapes moving past sometimes

- I get padding out an episode, but it's been almost five minutes of this now 

- Oh, at least now we're at least getting little flashes of Wu Xie recognising this stuff from his grandfather's notebook 

- But still 

- HURRY THE FUCK UP AND GET TO THE TOMB

- 5 1/2 mins before something even marginally interesting happens >.< 

- Because apparently now the statue is opening its eyes. Maybe. 

- Wait no, I counted wrong 

- 7 1/2 MINS 

- 8 1/2 mins before they get to any breaking and entering 

- 8 1/2 mins to do what should have taken 2

- It wasn't even marginally interesting filler >.< 

- Just....dirty green screen with some dark shapes, and the occasional close up on faces or wrist notepads 

- And this knife is cutting through the mortar holding these bricks together suspiciously easily

- Oh, the evil hair is making its first appearance 

- Evil Hair Count: 1 

- Yes, touching it is a great idea! Well done! 

- Oh, it scared it away this time 

- Apparently, the evil hair being scared away is what triggers the brick door to automatically open for them

- Oh, I like this shot of the wetsuit hood almost looking like a hoodie hood. I'm not sure if that was intentional, but I still like it.

- SUDDEN CORPSE APPEARANCE 

- Oh, sudden thing swimming real fast into/around them 

- Most of this episode has just been...murky green

- Like. They've been in the water for 10 minutes so far. And the only important/interesting things that have happened have been finding Sanshu's stick, finding the statues that reminded Wu Xie of shit in the notebook, Wu Xie thinking the statue eyes opened, the appearance of the evil hair, the door opening, the corpse appearing, and now this thing swimming by them. All of which could have been done in, like, a third of the time.

- Since they all took only a few seconds each

- Oh, it was evil hair lady, who is now swimming away super fast when Pangzi shot at her. 

- I'm amazed he could see clearly enough in the murk to even aim, tbh 

- Oooh, dramatic music 

- It would be nice if I could see clearly enough to know the reason for the dramatic music

- PANGZI. WU XIE. YOU HAVE NOTEPADS ON YOUR WRISTS. 

- YOU DO NOT NEED TO TAKE OUT YOUR OXYGEN MOUTHPIECES TO TRY TO TALK UNDERWATER 

- YOU ARE WASTING YOUR OXYGEN 

- OH HI EVIL HAIR LADY 

- I will make that Evil Hair Count: 2, because it was a lovely shot of her hair as well

- Oh, they've made that maelstrom-like tunnel the entrance to the tomb in the drama 

- Oh god, the greenscreen 

- I think Chongqi is the only one I've seen so far that does greenscreen even halfway well 

- It took them 11 1/2 mins to get into the tomb

- An entire quarter of the episode was just them fucking around underwater where the viewer could barely see what was happening at the best of times 

- Since the ep is 45 mins including opening and ending credits

- Oh, they've come out into the room with the pots, except it has a pool in it this time 

- Sigh. Of course they gave A-Ning pink-accented gear.

- They all have a different colour on their goggles to tell them apart, but in the underwater stuff it was too dark to tell what colours she and Xiaoge had. Now that they're out of the water, I can see that hers is pink. 

- And I'm like 

- WHY 

- PLEASE 

- STOP

- Why are there spiderwebs in the underwater tomb? 

- The babby zombie footprints! 

- Yes, Pangzi, those tiny little footprints are Sanshu's 

- Hahah, I love little shit Wu Xie 

- Apparently spiders even have to be built into underwater ones. Either that, or spiders can now dive

- Maybe when they built the tomb, they made sure to have spiders in there. Which also means they had to ensure there was spider food in there. 

- Oh, hey, in the drama they actually think to look inside the jar! But babby zombie is not in there this time.

- Oh, it was in one of the other jars instead 

- Okay, time to follow the baby in the jar 

- Oh, this hallway 

- A-Ning is about to be a very bad girl 

- Also, so many cobwebs 

- So many

- I think that lends credence to the 'spiders were put here when the tomb was built and so have lived here for thousands of spider generations' 

- WHY ARE ALL THE CANDLES LIT 

- WHO LIT THEM SO RECENTLY THAT THEY'RE STILL BURNING

- I still can't get over them subbing 'Sanshu' as 'Uncle San' 

- And random English because why not

- I was about to say the traps are stupidly obvious in this hall, then I remembered the Starfinder adventure I ran where the trigger was a giant mosaic on the floor that practically screamed 'trap' & the PCs just walked over it. And then were surprised when the trap triggered.

- Oh, here we go, A-Ning's about to do the thing 

- Complete with evil villain smirk as she does so 

- I wish there was better lighting in this hallway, because A-Ning's moves are amazing and I would like to be able to see them better

- Xiaoge Rescue Count: 2 for Wu Xie, 2 for protagonists, 3 for everyone

- Those are some wuxia-esque spinny moves from A-Ning there 

- Nooooo, Xiaoge, don't leave Wu Xie there without you! 

- I wondered how they were going to have Wu Xie get hit by them since Xiaoge stopped him from being hit by the initial shots 

- Dammit, A-Ning

- I appreciate that Pangzi's first reaction is to run to check on Wu Xie 

- Even though that got him shot himself 

- lol, these two dummies sitting there screaming once they notice all the arrows that they hadn't noticed before

- Good Pangzi, showing off that you're actually smart by realising Something Is Up with these arrows 

- "Does it feel this good to be shot to death?" 

"I've never died before, I have no idea" 

 - Hahahah, waving the arrow to see it that would attract more firing

- Then oh so carefully peeking up over the edge 

- Ah, finally Xiaoge reveals himself properly! 

- That face mask is just ridiculous 

- lol, Wu Xie's reaction 

- Those wide puppy eyes 

- lol, Xiaoge's little smirk at Wu Xie

- And again. THEY'RE SO CUTE I CAN'T

- Here we are at the first chamber switcheroo 

- I wish they'd subtitle at least the important parts of Wenjin's notebook when Wu Xie reads it and gets clues 

- They were good with subtitling the wrist notepads when they were aimlessly swimming around for 11 mins 

- But nothing else

- "Do you have Alzheimers" OMFG, Pangzi 

- Pangzi gonna Pangzi 

- I seem to say something along those lines about all of the Iron Triangle 

- But it's true 

- Ahahah, Wu Xie's facial expressions when he's brushing off Pangzi here 

- It's little shit Wu Xie all over

- Look, okay, flashbacks are fine and all, but does it have to be a flashback to the FUCKING GREEN MURKY WATER 

- Okay, at least that part wasn't too long 

- That container is not sealed, that paper should not have been dry

- Certainly not so dry that exposure to air made it crumble and blow away

 - Professor Zhang? 

- HOW WERE THE IMPRINT OF WORDS LEFT BEHIND IN THE DUST?! 

- IDK why they needed two archaeological teams in this flashback 

- Also, hi, flashback Xiaoge 

- Hey, it's the copper snek fishy

- Oh, that was a good cliffhanger to leave this episode on! 

- Xiaoge remembering that he has been there before

So! Ep 2 ends with: 

Season 2 Xiaoge Rescue Count: 2 for Wu Xie, 2 for protagonists, 3 for everyone 

Season 2 Wu Xie Swoon Count: 0 

Season 2 Evil Hair Count: 2 

 Cumulative Xiaoge Rescue Count: 12 for Wu Xie, 17 for protagonists, 18 for everyone 

Cumulative Wu Xie Swoon Count: 6

BTS reaction→ you as an idol and wanting to collaborate with them

paring: bts x idol!reader

warnings: swearing

genre: fluff

a/n: hey love! thank you so much for requesting, I’m so glad you’re enjoying my work! I really, really hope you enjoy this one too! Also, Y/C/N stands for ‘your company name’ !!

request a reaction! | about me

↠ kim seokjin.

“Me?” Jin questioned, eyes furrowed in confusion “Y/N Y/L/N want’s to collaborate with me?” 

“Yeah, she says that she wants to meet up later this week with you for details.” Sejin said calmly, turning around back to his computer. 

Funny how his manager thought this was normal news to drop on him, not knowing that Jin was literally screaming on the inside. THE Y/N, the woman that  he had been dreaming to talk to his whole career, was asking for him. More specifically, to make music with him.

Of course he was freaking out.

“Sejin, did she say anything else? Anything about me?”

“Uhh, no I don't think so. But that does remind me, I gave her your number just so she can access you easier instead of going through the whole email process, is that okay?”

That’s when Jin's heart burst. Jumping up out of the chair opposite his manager, he jumped and danced around the room before tightly hugging his manager and sprinting out the room, screaming at the top of his lungs about how ‘you knew who he was’ over and over again 

And when Jin finally calmed down after hours of running around the building with excitement and anticipation flowing through his veins, his phone alerted him with a notification from an unknown number which read: ‘hey, is this seokjin? it’s Y/N :)’

Yeah, Jin found it difficult to get to sleep that night. 

↠min yoongi

When Yoongi had been called to see Bang PD, it was safe to stay he was lowkey shitting himself. His brain wracked over and over again of what rules he had broken, how he had broken them, considering he had been cooped up in his studio half of the time, and what he could do to fix it

Turns out, Yoongi should’ve been shitting himself for an entirely different reason. 

“Oh Yoongi, there you are!” Bang exclaimed as Yoongi slowly creeped into the office “This is Y/N Y/L/N, she saw you perform at MAMA a few months ago and wants to arrange a collaboration!”

“Ah Min Yoongi, it’s so good to meet you finally!” You stood up from the couch and held your hand out for him to shake. Yoongi on the other hand was more than starstruck at the sight in front of him. He gently took your hand and shook it lightly, not taking his eyes off of your face.

“I’m really excited to work to start working with you! I listen to your music all the time and I think we could make something truly great!”

Yoongi swore he heard his heart flutter when those words left your mouth. He couldn’t help but think of something more than music that you two could make work

“Oh aha, yes definitely. It’d be an honour to work with someone so talented.” he said, finally working up the courage to form a proper sentence. 

You blushed lightly “I’m glad you feel the same way!”

Spoiler alert: You did make amazing music. But made an even better relationship. 

↠jung hoseok

Something that was never really part of Hoseok’s daily routine was listen to a podcast. He never really had time ever since the tour had started, seeing as he was either practicing or sleeping.

Now that the tour was over and he had a few hours to himself, he figured that turning on a bit of light radio whilst he answered a few emails would be the perfect bypass for today. 

So there he was, sitting at his desk with his laptop wide open whilst the speakers blared out an enthusiastic voice of the interviewer.

Then, you were introduced. 

Hoseok's emails were long forgotten as he listened intently to the sound of your voice and laughter. He grinned at your reactions to different songs that were being played in between your interview. 

“So now, we’re gonna play a song that has taken social media over by storm! Can you guess what song Y/N?” The interviewer asked animatedly. 

“Oo that’s hard! I have no idea!” 

“Well if you haven’t heard, BTS’s J-hope released a song called ‘Chicken Noodle Soup’ featuring Becky G! Have you heard of it?” 

“Oh my god! Of course I have! It’s such a bop!” You laughed “They’re both so talented!”

“Have you considered collaborating with J-hope at any point?”

At this point, Hoseok was nearly standing on his office chair trying to cram his head closer and closer to the speakers in order to hear the answer.

“Funny you said that actually! Yesterday my company sent Bighit an email, after days of me hounding at them, asking if Hoseok was free and if he wanted to create maybe a dance cover! I just really hope they reply soon!” You giggled, blushing and also being thankful no filming was involved

“Well, we wish you all the luck with that Y/N! Here is ‘Chicken Noodle Soup’ by J-hope and Becky G!”

As the familiar sound of his own tune filled the room, he sprinted to his managers office, rapidly knocking his knuckles on the door. When it finally opened, he pushed past the older man and quickly located the email icon on his computer.

And there it was. The email from your company in all it’s glory. 

Let’s just say, when your company did get a reply back, they found it quite funny how many spelling mistakes were involved. Hey, no one is perfect when typing fast, okay?

↠kim namjoon 

“Guess who I just got off the phone with?” Manager Hobeom sang as he skipped into the practice room, smirking. 

“Hyung, I get that you’re in love and you and your wife are all lovey dovey but I don’t need to know how many times you call each other-”

“Y/C/N, more specifically where Y/N is signed!” Hobeom interrupted

Namjoon choked on his words when your name left his mouth “What? What did they say? Did they mention me? Hyung spill!”

“Calm down, calm down!” The manager replied laughing “Namjoon, were you aware that Y/N attended the last concert you held in Seoul?”

Was he aware? Not at all. But did he feel like his heart was about to stop beating? Absolutely.

“Are you serious?” He questioned

“Uh huh, she apparently loved your solo song and was interested in if you wanted to meet up and discuss collaboration possibilities.”

Fuck. That’s all that Namjoon could think right now. You, the idol he’s been making heart eyes at for the past year, was asking to make music with him. Fuck indeed.

“Hyung, please tell me you said yes?”

“Oh you wanted me to say yes? I said no because I thought that you wanted a break after travelling?” Hobeom said, cringing at the horror on Namjoon’s face before breaking his act and laughing hysterically “I’m joking! Of course I said yes! You meet her next Thursday, be ready!”

Namjoon had been ready for a while now, they didn't have to tell him twice.

↠park jimin

“Jimin!” Hoseok called from the lounge “It’s about to start! I’m only watching this for you!”

“I’m coming, I’m coming!” Jimin replied, running into the room with a bowl of popcorn. “Man I’m so excited I could burst! What if she talks about us? Wouldn't that be awesome?”

The older man rolled his eyes at the lovestruck younger. News had spread around all over social media that you were due to be on a popular tv show which consisted of interviewing different idols and get all the exclusive news. 

Jimin and his bandmates themselves had been featured on the show more than once and he knew how personal the questions could get. 

So him being the secret fanboy that he was, decided to watch just in case you gave away any relationship reveal or something like that. 

Not that he cared about that stuff though, right?

“Awh Hobi hyung, look at her! She’s so beautiful!” Jimin whined, clutching his heart dramatically. They both watched in amusement as the hosts cracked many jokes towards you. 

Then suddenly the topic of the man himself came up.

“So some little birdies told me that you were obsessed with BTS’s Jimin's ‘Promise’ Is that correct Miss Y/N?” The interviewer teased

“Ah I knew posting that on my Instagram story would come back to haunt me!” You played along, trying to act cool at the familiar topic. 

“You’re not denying it?”

“Of course not! I cannot disagree that he’s incredibly talented and has such a beautiful voice indeed!”

Jimin felt his heart in his throat. This is actually happening. Y/N just complimented him. HIM. 

“I smell a collab coming on!” The host joked, winking and doing gun fingers at you. You chuckled lightly, responding with the same action and a: “Only if they reply to my email!”

As the laughter of the both of you filled the room, the voices that were once talking had now gone silent. Even Hoseok was a little shocked that THAT just happened. Then he finally came to a point of realisation 

“She sent us an email? Maybe we should go check it out-”

He realised he was talking to himself at that point, for when he looked over next to him he only found an empty spot. 

↠kim taehyung 

“Yes yes, he’ll be very excited to hear your voice ma’am!” Manager Sejin spoke through the phone, eyes widening as he saw Taehyung creep into the office 

“No he’s not busy right now! In fact he’s right in front of me hahah!” he continued to carry on the conversation, beckoning for boy to sit down. Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows, mouthing a “Who’s that?” to the older. 

Sejin smirked and mouthed back a “It’s Y/N!” 

“Y/N?!” The younger suddenly shouted in shock, covering his mouth when he realised you were still on the call and had probably heard him. Great. Now you probably thought that he was the biggest dork to ever walk the earth. Thanks universe. 

To his delight however, he heard a faint sweet giggle on the other end of the line indicating that he, in fact, didn't make a fool of himself. 

Thank fuck. 

After a few more minutes of back and forth conversation between Sejin and you, it was finally time to wrap up and say your goodbyes. When he eventually did hang up, he also caught sight of a lost puppy, also know as Taehyung. 

“I’m not even gonna ask if you’re gonna be okay with it because I already know the answer.” The manger laughed, placing the phone of the desk. After seeing Taehyung become even more confused than he already was, Sejin revealed the news. 

“Your collab is gonna be great.” 

↠jeon jungkook

Jungkook didn't like to be woken up. Period.

Especially, on his day off. You know, the only time he had to fucking rest?

So you could obviously understand why he’s a little pissed off at his hyung who was violently shaking him, still thinking he was sleeping 

“Jungkook! Jungkook, you’re gonna wanna see this, it’s important! Jungkook!” Jimin whined. The tired man rolled over on his side and stared at Jimin, as if to say ‘Are you fucking serious?’

“What do you want Hyung?” The maknae moaned, rubbing his eyes to get rid of the sleep. Jimin chuckled lightly before shoving his phone in his face. On the screen was a paused frame of you and your members.

This made Jungkook sit up “What’s this about?” 

“Just hit play and watch it.”

So he did. Turns out the video was a challenge video you and the others took part in. You had to answer questions very quickly and accurately before the timer ran out, otherwise you’d be bonked on the head. 

Both men sat patiently as you raced through each question, until finally it got to the bit Jimin wanted Jungkook to see. 

“Y/N, what male Kpop idol would you like to collaborate with in the future?”

“Jungkook!” You answered back without any hesitation whatsoever. You band members teased and made whistle sounds once the name had left your mouth. At this you covered your face to hide the blush. 

Before Jungkook could watch anymore, Jimin grabbed the phone away “You see now why I had to wake you! Y/N Y/L/N just said she want’s to collaborate with you!” 

And even though Jungkook didn't want to admit it, he was grateful that his hyung had woken him up. 

Only for you though. No one else. 

tell me what you think!

request a reaction!

[abundantchewtoys]

Homestuck^2 re: p33-53

Well, there's bound to be a perspective switch now.

Though Dirk remains the lemony narrator, so he'll be around in a way, not relegating himself to intermissions.

Crack theory: John's a ghost now. :P Nah, there are no dreambubbles anymore.

---

Page 33

Oh HELL freaking yes.

Hah, Candy Earth C - supposedly irrelevant, pffffff.

Them lies.

I mean, sure, the specifics of the timeline aren't relevant, but the people in it will still end up doing relevant things!

So, this is John's house, smack-dap in the middle of salamander village. Candy Jake is tending to the garden - I'm spotting at least one pumpkin patch there. :P

So this means...

This means we'll end up having art for Tavros C/E, Harry Anderson and Vriska ML! Oh hell freaking yes. I'm pretty sure Tavros C is almost a deadringer for John. He had a different frame for glasses, if I recall, and his hair I imagine doesn't stick up, but further than that...

For all we know, they could actually end up being players in Dirk's session, too! :D Through space/time shenanigans.

So yeah, Jake is middle-aged, but... That might mean like 3 more years have passed since the end of the Candy path, right? 42 sounds like a middler age than 39, after all.

Cooool, though. I mean, I love that we're catching up to these people again. The content warnings (groan, Dirk, really? He's continuing to post this on AO3, isn't he?) do indicate that Jake's reminiscencs will take us into some darker venues.

Here's to hoping Dirk isn't going to cut away too quickly from this timeline. ... Wait a minute.

How can Dirk be the narrator of this timeline if it's out of his sphere of influence? That means it's back to Calliope or a speakerless narration! Actually, that's great.

The arrows have changed as well, hahah. Yup, this sure isn't the alpha timeline anymore. :P So much irrelevance to the plot, much wow.

---

Page 34

Oooh, right, his fair moustache! Can't wait to see how it looks in sprite mode, hahah. Say... Come to think of it, if Dirk's any indication, none of the players have earned the right yet to appear in guardian form!

Emerald garden gloves...

Hah, okay, so he's actually not wearing a shirt yet. Cause it's too hot in John's house. Ironic that the Heir hasn't kept his own house aired and cooled.

So, it might actually take place around the time that John went to Roxy? Although, Jake set the two of them up, he should know where John is at the moment. Cool to see that Jake's actually found a new form of independence in his riper age. That he actually manages household tasks quite well, without shooting at the squirrel family or something.

I wonder in what way the timelines will get entwined. Dreams? Ultimate self memories? Machinery like used to transport Joey to Alternia?

It would be weird to have two fully separate stories in one narrative, after all.

---

Page 35

Cool, look at that body hair. Much macho, señor English. :P I can see why the populace of Earth is enamored by him.

Welp. Alcoholism continues being a thing, now even for human Prospit dreamers.

---

Page 37

So yeah, Dad's fridge is still there. Those B1 appliances have sure gone through a lot. Pfff, even the old kitchen magnet's still there, maybe even with the same years-old picture stuffed behind it.

In for a dream memory of Jake on Hellmurder Island? I am!

This looks like B2 Earth's sun, after all.

Good thing Jake never went to 'Nam, or the current ongoing war would've meant this vision of a rainforest would've gone in a very different direction.

But the dream is definitely going to end up going sideways. I mean, no more dreambubbles doesn't mean he can't have vision. Or a Brain Ghost visit, in his case there's a real chance a memory turns into something more substantial.

---

Page 38

That sure is an unsettling dream. Unknown part of the jungle, illogical pine trees, and an inescapable monster.

Reminds me of WV's nightmare. Especially the song about it on the Wanderers album.

"A lithe creature of darkness and fury, with more legs than anything mammalian has a right to." Sounds like a Hiveswap monster right there. Can't think of any of the lusii it would apply to, of the top of my head.

---

Page 39

Welp. Dirk has found him. Well, in his dreams, but Dirk can command Brain Ghosts. And he was saying something about commanding a brain ghost, wasn't he? Okay, welp, I can't find the relevant quote. Page 30 comes closest, saying he used to not be able to contemplate all his spliters.

---

Page 41

Lol wuuuuuuuuut.

Brain Ghost Dirk?!? And he/Jake remembers meeting Aranea?!? Okay, let's park the potential paradoxes here. For one, post-retcon Dirk could have met AN Aranea later on, a different version of her, in a dreambubble dream. But yeah. Still weird.

Also weird: this brain ghost is connected to his Game Over timeline self! And he claims to be a separate Dirk?? Or... Well, actually. He claims a single Dirk has been claiming the narrative, which is true, leaving little space for other Dirks, which is also true. He could (and should?!?) still be part of the other Dirk, right? Unless... Unless the ascended self of a Prince of Heart doesn't mean he can just control his other splinters! (Outside of controlling the narrative, I mean.)

Then again... The Candy path has been said to be explicitly outside the reach of Dirk, so what is this?

God, if the only "good" version of Dirk is a ghost. And hey, this is a way in how there can still be new ghosts even without dreambubbles. Too bad only Jake can spawn them.

Pfff, the idea though. The idea that the only way this Dirk has good qualities is because it's what Jake wants to remember about him.

---

Page 42

He's gonna be scared awake from the fall, right? Still a little douchebag in any iteration.

---

Page 43

Yup. ... So, Brain Ghost Dirk has taken it up for himself to be Jake's guardian? Making sure no one catches him boozesnoozing? Even ensuring Jake maintains a healthy mistrust about Dirk's intentions?

Hmmm... I wonder if he'll start seeing Brain Ghost Dirk again while awake, now.

---

Page 44

Is there still some dirt from his dream on his arm? A message from BG Dirk?

---

Page 45

Ooooooooooh. Yes!! Seems like there's too much narrative for even an ascended Dirk to hog.

I mean, we have to keep in mind that the Prince of Heart's influence doesn't reach into this timeline. So that means, this is a part of Dirk that Jake has breathed life into, but which while vaguely connected to the ascended self, since he knew about Dirk's powers, can't be controlled by him???

---

Oooooh, this is a REALLY good way to have Jake talk himself through his issues! Some really good observations from Jake here, things he might not have admitted to himself otherwise!

He's feeling useless, knows Jane is bad news, still hopes to make amends. Meanwhile BG Dirk isn't trying to get him to join the plot outside of the Black Hole.

Jake just wants to make a difference! (Also the observation from BG Dirk about Jake feeling mopey and useless for years also applies to John soooo much.) He's going to go all Lara Croft again? Sweaty, hunky, middle-aged genderbender Lara Croft, hahahah. This would be very cool - even if he's so very likely to get caught. Jane's not stupid.

So this is Her Janeyness's battleship. Sporks. Sporks!! She crossed )(IC's ship with sporks. Pfffffff.

And he's actually doing this? Already?? Welp. Jane's going to throw him in the slammer again. We're going to have a callback to when the tiara took her over. I wonder if we'll even see some Authority Regulators (Prospitian or Dersite) guarding the prison cells.

Jane's outfit's going to be a cross between a business suit, her Crockertier outfit and Condy's jumpsuit. Though I wonder if she's already that far gone that she's wearing regalia.

Pffffff, wut? He's actually going through the frontdoor? Jane's even coming to run up to him??

What is this, a daydream? If not, there's no way we'll not see Jane be obnoxiously unknowingly condescending in her conversation.

So, it is in fact a Crockertier two-piece suit, it seems.

Pffff, wut? Tavros was out with her kismesis, wasn't he? There's the potential here for Tavros simply getting pulled around by Vriska ML, and Jane seeing it as a kidnapping. Also, direct attack? I assumed she found the death of her Dad enough direct already. :P

Pffff, okay. So this can't be more than a few days after the end of the Candy path, after all. So they're all still 39 years old.

At first I though BG Dirk would start spying on Jane's desk, but nah, he's horseshitting around. So Jake's infiltration isn't even going to be all that hard, he's just going to stand there and get information fed to him.

Jane's descent into tyranny saddens me still.

Page 52-53

Man, Jake's intrusive thoughts are next level. Jane is still as coldly detached as ever.

I’m feeling lonely but I’m going to talk about the time when I wasn’t feeling lonely

Hey again! I’ve been feeling a little alone these past few days/weeks despite being surrounded by people. So instead of ranting about how bad I feel or whatever negative stuff, I’m just going to focus on the positive and talk about  some of the smile-worthy things I’ve been wanting to share here for the longest time but failed to slot in the time to do just that. 

okay so on the 21st of February 2019, someone (me duhh) was feeling quite like crap. (It may seem like I’m always feeling like crap but I promise that’s not true ;p, I actually am quite a bubbly happy person generally lol but sometimes maintaining that stamina can be hard amirite?) Okay so basically, I just missed some of my old friends terribly and going on social media seeing some of them getting the chance to hang out together whilst I was stuck here catching up with deadlines and quizzes and presentations made me a little extra emotional (?) Not to mention!! Period season was coming up haha ugh sucks to be a girl

Anyways, I ringed up one of my dear friends, Raneiah and true enough she was hanging out with another dear friend of mine, Kar Yen. Raneiah put me on loudspeaker and I talked to the both of them about rubbish stuff until I couldn’t hold my tears back anymore and I just started sobbing and sobbing because heck!! I missed them a little too much :(

I guess they felt a little sorry for my emotional ass lol so Kar Yen spontaneously decided to pick me up in her (very expensive, very cool two seater Audi car). I was a little hesitant at first as I had a presentation to prepare for the next day but I just ditched everything and went ahead. I squished myself with Raneiah in the passenger seat, basically sitting on her lap with my head ducked down as low as it could possibly go 😆 We didn’t have a destination in mind so Kar Yen and Raneiah decided on stopping at these stalls of a bazaar that was ongoing in the university compound. 

Kar Yen parked at a reserved parking spot without care, of course I mean oF COURSE SHE WOULD DO THAT hahahhaha but it was night time anyways so there wasn’t really anyone else.

We had chicken uncle bob, some takoyaki and despite my broke ass, we bought tealive as well hahaha. When I’m with Kar Yen and Raneiah, I always feel a little more care free. I’m able to let loose a little more, be stupid without feeling stupid and I can just let them know anything and I mean aNYTHING without being judged. They bring out the crackheadery within me and their hyperness makes me hyper tooooo and it just makes me want to act crazy like there’s no tomorrow :> RIP my english here ;)

There was a zumba activity going on and those who were interested in joining were required to sign up. However Kar Yen and Raneiah (and their crackheadery) basically dRAGGED MY SHY ASS TO DO ZUMBA THERE AND THEN. WITH EVERYONE ELSE WEARING PROPER ZUMBA OUTFITS, WE WERE WEARING ‘’GOING-OUT’’ CLOTHES WITH ‘’GOING-OUT’’ SHOES AND nOT TO MENTION OUR HANDBAGS omGEEE we got quite a lot of weird stares but at the moment we were just living in the moment, being crazy and not really giving a single care about it all, (well at least I tried my hardest to join them in doing so) 

After like 5.6 minutes of doing Zumba, we got bored and decided to leave the place lol. We walked back to Kar Yen’s car and again, we did not have anywhere in mind. In the end, Kar Yen opened the upper roof of her car (omg yeS HER CAR HAS THE OPEN-UP-ROOF FEATURE) We drove around the university compound aimlessly, with music blaring from the radio. Mind you, I was still sitting on Raneiah’s lap (ofc, where else would I sit) only this time, I stuck my head out like a dog with the wind blowing against my face, music blaring in my ears and ahhhh in that moment I felt truly happy and even if it was just temporary I felt free from all my worries. 

There was a point where we took a wrong turning (thanks to my terrible sense of direction) and we took the road leading us out of the university, meaning we hAD TO PASS BY THE SECURITY GUARDS WITH OUR LOUD MUSIC AND OPENED ROOF??!! PLUS WE LOOKED EXTRA CRAZY AND DRUNK AND PROBABLY HIGH HAHAHAH IT WAS HILARIOUS.

We were fine tho, once we got back in we drove around the whole university again and looking up in the sky, we could see a few bright shining stars. Kar Yen parked her car up on the hill and we just star gazed for a bit from her car. We had a mini karaoke + tea spilling session. I can’t even express how free and happy and ‘’infinite’’ I felt in that moment. I kinda felt like how Charlie from ‘’The Perks of Being a Wallflower’’ felt when he stood in car with his hands spread out as his friend drove through the tunnel on the bridge, truly infinite.

I guess that was all there was to that night before they sent me back to my college dorm. I was sad to leave them but I felt recharged and rejuvenated in a way hahah as dramatic as it sounds. I was eternally thankful to God that he decided to remind me of what I have when I was in a situation of feeling like I had nothing. It just makes me love God even more, and to think that He really is out there listening to my heart, my feelings, my desires, my dreams, my good intentions and my bad intentions even, just softens me up a little bit. 

I think I’ve rambled on a lot so I’ll stop here :) I don’t know who will read this but whoever reads it, I hope you know that good things will come your way, if not today then soon. Thank you Raneiah and Kar Yen for making me feel a whole lot better, I don’t know if you guys know, but you guys mean a lot, a lot and I mean  a LOT to me <3

Hahah untranslated into words. May meanings get across. (I look forward to your writes actlly aha but tak nak taruh harapan ah)( kinda like... Wanna know how you're keeping up but yeah no pressure kinda thing)(low key care aha)(fillah, fillah. I leave you in the care of Allah and with hopes you'd be able to well discern and be your own good shepherd to your own soul, yeah buddy? Hahah little one with light, khair insyaAllah) But yeah actlly so many reminders/shares I wanna share ahah but seeee the non invasive, indirect type of me tannak directly share so kau pandai pandai la oki hahah find traces I may leave with intent for it to reach you, if they're meant to reach you. Let me leave 3!! 1) May youuuuu draw in closeness to Qur'an. Open pages randomly and just trace your finger and see where it lands. Aha. I did this on first ramadhan night (ok la actually what I did was open quran app and scrollzzz and see where it stops hahah) and it ended on surah Al Luqman and I didn't finish reading and I decided I'd keep coming back and been reading like a few lines each time like on the bus otw somewhere etc and :"""") realise what I stumbled upon was immense treasure trove of wisdomssss (duh hahah it was a story of Luqman (peace/blessings/mercy and redha of Allah upon the one mentioned in Quran) to his bunayya. So yeah for now from this surah: 1. Be grateful to Allah. Don't syirik. 2. Serve and be grateful to walidayn :") Then I did the finger trace and open quran randomly thing again last night (this time with actual quran) and I ended on Al Ahqaf 15/16/17 ANDDD aGAINN ahaha it's about parents so :") no reminders reach coincidentally, kan? Also: Last night, I bumped into my father's cousin aka a faraway aunt, who was my ustazah who taught me how to wudhu and solat and I still rmmbr how jakun I was at 5yo to learn to duduk di antara sujud :""").hahaha so yeah alhamdulillah it's quite nostalgic much feelz to "see how far" the journey traversed since I was 5 ah :" 2) (ok let me give up with "leaving you with 3" aha and continue this free writes ok) // don't lose sight of your ramadhan goals oki!! Wether solat goals or reading goals or quran memorisation goals or 99names goal or do'a goals or mathurat goals. Ini reminder to self jugak actlly. Ahah I should translate these goals into writing and a proper checklist ah since I'm more visual but yeah for now mine's still in my head and whileeee ramadhan on the whole has been pretty good and alhamdulillah upon everything I've slipped up a biiiit at the start but yeah insyaAllah. Just keep running/walking/get back on track/wa atubu ilaih. And thank you for sharing that wirid (that youtube vid!!). It was rlllly rllly peaceful soul calms. I think it helps ah to find such goods - whether singsong type of rayhan songs that helped me in memorizing do'as (like the bismillahi ladzhi la yadurru song or the penghulu istighfar they made into a song or do'a iman or even selawats that have beau tunes.) idk tunes beautifies so yeah. :) alhamdulillah ((I've been including more 'alhamdulillah' in my thoughts and speech after I've been talking to you man hahah and for that truly alhamdulillah)) ( I rmmbr this one reminder: Alhamdulillah for Alhamdulillah, for Allah allows for us to remember and to even utter alhamdulillah is a nikmah in itself) (and astaghfirullah for our astaghfirullahs that were absent minded/unsincere of repentance and returns) I rmmbr how excited you were to make this a gamechanger ramadhan that will touch deep your heart and soul and pour light type and take u leaps forward into positiv vibes and light so keeeeeeep goinz ok torchbearer. Ramadhan is so beautiful ahah. Ustaz nuzhan shared ytd about the dream Abu tholhah had (I think) about 2 ppl who entered islam tgt same time and both did worship tgt etc except one mati syahid first and another passed a year after. Tapi the one who passed a year after entered jannah first (I think). Only for the reason he got to live experience and immerse in one extra ramadhan than the brethren. And the diff between him and his kawan, is like, distance between heaven andddd earth. MasyaAllah right? :")) and yeah ahahah I cried badly when the azan kumandang to signify dah Ramadan (ahahah ok maybe I'll post that write here hm) But okiiiii. Take care, ok? HAHA imma still pantau and see idk if I should pull full hiatus from this opensilvers kindergarten friendship hahahah but well seems not like it // but beneficial shares inshaAllah and addu'a biddu'a and jia you and may your sinssss wash away wash away with your temperature/falling sick (seeee, husnuzhon billah, Allah wants to purify uuu) Hahahah. Until next writes, aight. For Allah, by Allah, to Allah. In truth an audience of One. Abdi lillahi mulk samaawati wal ardh. Take care, mirroredz (insert smiley face and sparkle emoji) (and green heart to rmmbr rasulullah saw)

things to love about wooshin aka kim wooseok

his eyesmile- it's like admiring a galaxy of stars when he smiles genuinely I'm really in love seeing the glow in his eyes period

him eating- a heartening, reassuring sight knowing he's eating well plus the way he eats is so adorable. Also his love for ramen blesses the world

smiling with his teeth- a very, very rare sight but when he reveals his neat pearly teeth with his lips curving into this perfectly glorious angle oh what a ray of sunshine

when he misses his mum- this doesn't sound like a good thing, but it is endearing to see him value his family a lot even when he is really busy, I believe his mum is very proud of such a beautiful kindhearted filial hardworking son

(and of course) how he loves his mum a lot- there are so many examples to illustrate this. For instance he was at the airport lately and decided to shop for lipsticks for his mum, how heartwarming. And also he wrote this quote as his profile motto: "when the tree wishes to be calm, the wind doesn't stop blowing. when the child wishes to be filial, the parents are no longer there." which really shows how much effort he wants to put in to be able to care for his family while he can, and this serves as a huge reminder to us too

his cooking- (actually more because I'm a major foodie I can't help it but) he cooks amazingly well e.g. chicken stew and his members were full of praises of it

when he looks serious focusing on something- for instance when a fan gave him this bts album and he flipped and studied his idols so intently it's SO cute

his rapping- will never EVER forget him rapping to bts' i need you and dope, it's really good tbh

his singing- and of course not to forget his soft, mellow voice which manages to make me feel so calm and blessed always

his (original) voice- as in when he talks in his normal voice it tends to be lower in pitch and my heart skips a beat

his (higher pitched) voice- as in when he gets super excited playing games/missions e.g. when he answers quizzes, or tries to catch hwanhee blindfolded; it always gets me laughing

basically I love his voice as a whole

his airport fashion- always turns the airport into a runway due to his simple style and model vibes

him wearing hanboks- it's always great to see your idol wearing traditional Korean clothing so of course, and also he looks adorable wearing them: red, purple, blue, pale grey so far, and he slayed in them all

him playing with kids- he loves children, not just his little cousins, and the way he hugs and kisses them lovingly is so heartwarming

his acting- I ain't particularly fond of this most of the time (because I prefer his genuinity), but hey he majors in acting and I feel his effort is really paying off if not soon, looking forward to see more natural acting by actor wooseok

when he wears masks at the airport- I don't know why I like this, but it relates to how his beautiful eyes become the focus and as mentioned I really, really adore his eyes

his fingers- slim and pretty, perhaps even more than that of girls'. I still have no idea if it's because he plays the piano (I still have yet to find out if he can really play the piano) but damn, definitely a masterpiece

him sleeping- (especially when jinhoo sang him to sleep ohmygosh my heart is warm) looks really peaceful I wish I could hold him and say sweet dreams my dear child

him pouting- needless to say, adorable squishy cheeks ahh

the way he looks at honey10s- gentle as ever

his poetic tendencies- when he writes something profound (even I don't understand sometimes) like in a poem or short prose it really gives me feels (sometimes emo); my favourite poetic prince indeed

his (sometimes lame but) cute presence on fancafe- when he responds to or mentions a member (hint shinsun) randomly it amuses me to no end, really

when he takes charge emceeing among the members- a helpful member who respects his hyungs and dotes on his dongsaengs, he makes good use of his expertise in emceeing (e.g. saying comments to liven up the mood, signalling the positions where they should stand) to keep the show going

when he is a soft respectful maknae in the gaming team- and they all go aww at how adorable he is I'm sure

his gaming- it's super amusing watching him play, he's so serious and thus his expression while gaming is so so cute HAHAH i want to game with him too
