Riddle's Traffictober - Batch 4
The final Traffictober one-shots are up on my AO3! Happy November!
Full series - Find full list and tags here
Batch 1 Post - Traffictobers 1 to 7
Batch 2 Post - Traffictobers 8 to 14
Batch 3 Post - Traffictobers 15 to 21
These are Gen and T-rated Traffic SMP fanfics (one-shots) of various lengths. Give 'em a look if you think you may enjoy:
22 - “The Children of Dust and Ashes” (Link) - [NW AU] - 16-year-old Scott is caught off guard when his bandmate Impulse gets possessed by the soul of an ancient builder who really, really liked cherry wood. Impulse hurls Scott's axe off a cliff.
Secret Life - Neighborhood Watch AU retelling of Secret Life Episode 1 for Gem & The Scotts... The trio are 16 and Skizz is 18, and they take shelter after witnessing a zombie outbreak in a nearby village.
23 - “Blurring the Lines” (Link) - Young Scar reflects on his life in the Clocker family... and works through his feelings about his mom's new "soulmate" and his dad's new "fishing buddy."
Limited Life - A Scar-centric contemporary suburban AU [No death game] based around the Clocker family, with references to events and roleplay from the other Life series.
This was my first take on Neighborhood Watch AU, but it's just a standalone now. Still cute and seems to be a fan favorite, which I'm satisfied with <3
24 - “Hey Mumbo wtf?” (Link) - Since eating Grian's soul, Mumbo's started growing gemstone wings. Local wing admirer of an ex-husband can't help but notice.
Server Hub - On the 288th anniversary of Netty's last logout, the Bad Boys cheer Martyn with a night on the town. On his way out, he crosses paths with Mumbo for the first time since they roleplayed as husbands on Last Life. Affectionately awkward reunions are had.
Also a study in making settings feel alive and populated. Pretty happy with it!
25 - “You Can Sleep While I Drive” (Link) - Drabbles about one member of each Double Life soulmate pair watching the other sleep.
Double Life - Cozy beds in the napping story, where everyone is sleeping. It's a whole lot of fluff, unless you're Impulse threatening to get your husband TP'd to the other side of the map or you're Scott who's convinced his soulmate is cheating on him.
26 - “Dear Future Captain” (Link) - Bdubs and Martyn try teaching SnifferMyFeet how to fly. This is followed by Martyn filing an incident report because he ripped out Jellie's soul and came this close to dropping her in the Void.
Server Hub - I don't really have a good reason for this one- I just enjoy phantom hybrid flock drama and it made me laugh. Chapter 1 is up now and it will be 2 or 3 in total.
27 - “Enter Mr. Littlewood” (Link) - [NW AU] The Clocker kids pester Martyn with questions... most notably, "Are you divorced?" and "If you're Mom's 'one true soulmate,' how come she had us with Etho?"
Neighborhood Watch AU - Direct sequel to "Scary Stories For Young Fox Hybrids."
28 - “Birdwatcher” (Link) - Grian has an affair that flicks his soul wings on. Scar confronts him and Grian whips out the gaslighting. A confused Scar picks up the pieces left behind.
Double Life - Grian and Scar aren't dating. They're just soulmates. Grian is quick to remind Scar about this. It's not cheating to pursue other options when you're just roommates, right? Geez...
This one's a particular favorite; I love the motion and dialogue <3
29 - “Wake Me Up When Last Life Ends” (Link) - Scott works late and misses dinner. Again. He and Jimmy have a serious talk about their relationship.
Break up with the server hub admin at your own risk (ft. Mean Gals movie night).
30 - “The Leftovers” (Link) - Martyn and Cleo spend the night at Box, which - by law and by will - is now their base. Martyn makes one last appeal urging Cleo to take him back. Cleo sets him straight.
Double Life - I write a lot about pixel people phasing through each other because they don't have love hearts / hitbox collision. Now that we're at the end of Traffictober, here's a fluffy story about Cleo purposely eating golden carrots so she can carry a sleeping Martyn down the stairs.
I've been wanting to write this one since before I started Traffictober, but kept pushing it off... It came out better than I could have hoped and it's definitely a personal favorite. "You don't even know me" Cleo, my beloved <3
31 - “Closed Door Policy” (Link) - Two naked and scared individuals seek shelter at a non-anarchy server hub. One is a soul ripped out of his own body. The other is a dragon.
Pre-Canon - A glimpse at the early days of the New Star Station portal hub. Scott helps Etho take in two injured refugees... Chapter 1 is up, will probably be 3 or 4 chapters total.
My Traffictober challenge is complete at 226k words! I think my October writing comes out to be 250k if we include the Dog's Life chapter updates too. I'm really proud of what I've done and it's great to have a win under my belt after not feeling my best for a while.
Happy with it, back to our regularly scheduled programming soon, and I hope you all enjoyed! 💚 💛 ❤️

Note
I miss friendships like Adam and Aaron because they felt like actual friends, though I think the show kind of got lucky because of Adam and Danny’s close friendship, and also Danny seems to have the best on-screen chemistry (platonic or romantic) with actors he is close or friends with in real life (I’ve noticed it with Robron too). We don’t really see that with some of the younger characters as much and imo it comes down to writing mainly, but also acting with some of the characters.
They definitely lucked out with Danny and Adam, though they became friends after they met each other on set. So I guess that could happen for the other kids too. It did with Izzy and Rosie because they came in around the same time so early Gabby and Liv friendship scenes did feel really natural.
In general the teen groups these days are just not as well developed as they were in the past. I mean I think part of the reason the teens don't land as well for me is probably because I'm getting older and more disconnected from that age but I feel like the writers probably are too. I feel like a lot of the writers have been there forever so the average age is probably older now. I think they really struggle with writing modern teens, especially when it gets into the social media area. All of the cyber bullying type stories or anything where all they do is stare at their phones doesn't really work when we're not seeing it. I feel like when April had her whole story we maybe saw one or two posts rather than getting to see things pop up on screen around her like they do in a lot of teen shows these days (or any shows).
Another thing that today's teens really suffer from is a lack of screen time, even when they have bigger stories. For example, in Aaron's first full year, he was in 144 episodes and that wasn't even his coming out story. That started a little towards the end of the year but the bulk of that was in 2010, when he was in 153 episodes. Contrast that to Arthur who was in 26 episodes last year and 28 so far this year and Marshall who has had a more dramatic coming out story with angst but he’s only been in 26 episodes. Cathy who has had a supposedly big story this year that technically was starting at the end of last year has only been in 30 and 27 episodes respectively. And those are the characters with actual story. Even Samson who technically had a big story too was only in 49 episodes last year and only 19 so far this year.
Most of these kids still feel like blank slates because we just don’t see them often enough, not now and not when they were kids either. I mean Robert and Andy were in 57/58 episodes in 1998 when they were 11/12 years old. That’s more episodes than the teens with stories now. Because we just don’t see families together anymore. We don’t see everyday life anymore. The kids just disappear. I mean Angel and Elliot for example haven’t been in more than 6 episodes a year since 2019. Yet Angelica is supposed to be maybe killed in a car crash next week?! I mean care slightly cause I care about Nicola and Jimmy and Angel once had a cute interaction with Robert but otherwise she’s just some random kid we’ve never seen. There's no time for them to be developed as characters with an actual sense of identity or a consistent dynamic with their family and peers. For example, they were building the Robert/Andy dynamic over the course of many years and it remained consistent and layered upon each new thing. These days something will happen like Arthur bullying Archie and then it'll just be dropped entirely and forgotten about (I know that was partially due to Covid but also it was never once mentioned again)
And then there’s the fact that most of this current crop of teens were cast as young children, aside from Marshall. I mean April is still pretty good but she also gets slightly more screen time so she’s slightly more developed as a character and actress. But the rest of these kids…I mean Amelia was great as a precocious child but struggles carrying a bigger dramatic story. Arthur was fine as a little kid saying the odd line or two but his line readings are bit more awkward now. I do think he would have been helped if they’d really tried to get a quality teen actor to play Marshall but Max Fletcher doesn’t really cut it. So it’s just awkward playing against awkward. I mean you’d think the twins who are twins in real life would have more on screen sibling chemistry but…not really. Of course Heath also barely exists as a character so it’s not like they have much to work with.
The other thing I feel like hurts them is that I feel like the previous teen groups were a lot more independent. I do think that could still happen with the Arthur/Marshall/April/Cathy/Heath/Sometimes Elliot group because they're still a bit younger and the Amelia/Samson/Noah group is a bit more independent because they're older. But I feel like Aaron/Adam/Vic/Holly/Daz/Scarlett etc were just running around on their own a lot, in part because their family situations weren't always the best. I mean Vic was being looked after by Andy a lot of the time and Aaron obviously had all his Chas issues and then just had Paddy who was more friend than parent a lot of the time. Adam/Holly/Hannah had a more stable home life but Adam had already left school and was working on the farm. Holly had her art classes at college. Vic and Amy worked at the B&B. Aaron worked at the garage. I feel like we just saw them on their own a lot more doing more grown up things or more independent things without having parents constantly tracking them down and fussing over them. Of course it's important for them to have family dynamics too but it's also important for them to build relationships with each other independently and I feel like that's lacking a bit, also due to the extreme lack of screen time.
So yeah, lack of screen time, lack of every day life to develop the family units and sibling dynamics, actors who were cast very young with no idea if they'd be able to carry bigger stories now and reluctance to recast, writers that feel out of touch with today's teens and then you know the general terribleness of the overall direction of the show right now. It's sad because with so many kids who have grown up in the village entering their teens right now, there could be a lot of good content for them but they really don't do enough with them.

Day 390 Art Meditation, May 14, 2024
Art:
‘ feeling interconnected, 26, 27, 28 ’ 
Pointing you to the direction of “Madam Secretary”, Season 6, Episode 9, which is a perfectly written little episode filled with my favorite themes - love, and having a woman US President. (See below for the scene of the last beautiful moments …)
The last chunk of my life that has been all-lines-are-beautiful is about figuring out how to speak and write in my own life, and I’m realizing it’s really giving myself my own version of Film School. I don’t think I’ve ever named this before. To create things that are meaningful to me, which has always been film. Which is not exactly a relief to anyone I know. “Well, THAT’S practical!”).
So this is all homework, my life, writing, processing, healing, making art. One of the reasons Episode 9 is perfect is that these topics are so beautifully developed and acted that the episode could stand alone as a single movie … I watched it 3 times in a row …
I have loved this TV series Madam Secretary on an emotional level, which is fascinating because it’s a movie about politics. The same way I used to love Grey’s Anatomy in spite of all the medical scenes. Both speak to the soul… I love the ethics, break-through, come-to-Jesus-moments that are written into this movie. The decision to choose the side of love politically, speak up for truth, to admit when you are wrong … I love that there is an Ethics adviser in the White House tv version, which used to be the Supreme Court in real life.
My mother loves movies as much as I do, and even my mother adored this series. I say ‘even my mother’ because this disconnect between me (All lines are beautiful) and my family and friends is so strange … I know there is a way back to each other, but I haven’t found it yet …
I really thought that by the time I am 55 we would have a woman President. So it's a future state. Someday we will have a woman President like Elisabeth McCord. Someday we will love each other like that. Someday we will all FEEL interconnected.
Thank you to Coach Valj, for so clearly pointing out recently that most of us are still operating from our Wounded Inner Spaces. Which explains everything in politics. On a personal level it’s a daily commitment. 
We can’t help each other or become interconnected, until we heal ourselves, so that’s where my art comes in for me. 
This last series of the May Art Drop was art that I had moved to a folder “do not use”. But then later I revisited it, brought it more into focus, I gave it (or me) more attention, and loved the more vibrant and muted colors. SO MUCH. Am allowing myself to feel that joy. That joy which after rewatching Brené Brown’s Netflix special last night, I am reminded that Joy is our biggest vulnerability. 
If we are listening to joy and love, if we are doing what we love then everything and everybody connects.  
On our human path towards being and feeling interconnected, I am so grateful that art is teaching how to speak up for myself and teaching me joy.  
Please follow your bliss. Love, Anne

About the Boueibu iceberg
@delphoxqueen asked me to explain about my list for the iceberg so here it is. I might update this from time to time with links and stuff if I stumble across the original posts. This is all from what I know so feel free to add new info. Also, spoiler warning for RobiHachi and the Boueibu manga and novels. (This is like a masterpost it’s very long)
1. There’s a theory in tumblr about which decade the series is set in, using data like the friday the 13th calendar in s2 ep11. In HK we got a second number for when the next monthly Pretty Boy Contest was happening and using the one from Love it was theorized that around a decade had passed since then, which ended up being true.
2. The stage play had a few original songs and characters exclusive to it so unless you watched the full performance, you probably weren’t able to witness all of them. One of the characters is called “Robato Deniro”, as romanized in the stage play booklet I own.
3. The nurse and the cafeteria staff from the s1 mobile game appear in the background in around the first half of s2 ep3.
4. S2 had an unfinished manga that was only available online and was never released on physical format; it was centered around the defense club and sometimes the conquest club and Beppu brothers. All that’s left from what I know are the scans linked on magicalgirlsandcerulean’s blog.
5. This isn’t that obscure because it’s talked about in the anime, but I’m mentioning it because I think many people dropped it before the ova, where right at the beginning it is revealed that the alien that resucitated Mr. Tawarayama twice was, as described by Io, a “mulberry-colored naked mole rat-looking thing”, and was nicknamed “Moley-san” by Yumoto. At least in the anime, we had never heard before of who this was and it never appeared on screen nor was mentioned again.
6. In HK ep8, Karurusu promises the knights to grant a wish if they show him how earthlings spend summer. Kyoutarou reveals at the end of the episode that he wished that summer lasted one more day so he could spend it doing nothing, which prompts Ichiro to theorize that it’s the 32nd of august, and the next day is the second 1st of september.
7. The stage play was was held from march 10th to 13rd, of which the latter is Ryuu’s birthday. There’s an additional recording of a small celebration with cake focused on Ryuu and Io.
8. Atsushi mentions his older sister in the flashback at the beginning of s1 ep4, but she never appears or is mentioned again.
9. There’s a few posts on tumblr theorizing about what happened to the Hakone parents since Yumoto only says in s2 ep3 that according to Gora, “they are busy with their hot springs tour”. En mentions that it’s a bit suspicious, but it’s all the information we have from the anime. Posts talk about the parents perhaps passing away from an accident or an illness, thus the reason why Gora was so worried about Yumoto’s cold in s1 ep10, but from another post I think it’s implied in the second novel that they actually left their home when Yumoto was still a toddler.
10. It’s no secret that the surnames of the characters are all real onsens in Japan that even the seiyuus have visited, but apparently the Arima onsen has two different kinds of water, “kinsen (gold hot spring)” and “ginsen (silver hot spring)”, with different properties each, and the Kusatsu onsen water also has certain properties, both that were used to build the characters. Additionally, Ryuu’s favorite food are Sato Nishiki cherries, which are grown in the same prefecture, Yamagata, as his onsen, Zaou.
11. The press club lose relevance after s1, with only Kinosaki and Tazawa reappearing briefly in s2 ep2 to interview the Beppu twins after they arrive at the school. Tazawa doesn’t even have lines. Hireashi is mentioned by Zundar in ep11.
12. What the heck
Tumblr media Tumblr media
13. Exclusively in the manga we see that Arima met Kinshiro and Atsushi when they were little and they were good friends, but when they met again as adults, Kinshiro seemingly didn’t remember Arima. Atsushi, however, stated that Kinshiro’s talent is remembering people’s faces and names, so Arima wonders if he’s just trying to distance himself from him. He also explains to Akoya that he follows Kinshiro and obeys him because as a child, he was fascinated by his radiant smile. This is never talked about in the anime.
14. Like the previous point, the anime never shows Akoya being bullied, at most just a slight dislike of his full name, but the manga shows that he was made fun of for it and how he actually hates his surname, to the point of introducing himself formally to the president and vicepresident of the student council as “Holy Angel Akoya”.
15, 16, 17, 19. Batonama lives were the livestreams done through the franchise by the defense club seiyuus on youtube and niconico. They’re all on youtube, without any kind of translation.
Love-ko is a girl with a shell bikini drawn on a piece of cardboard that was used as a girlfriend in the Batonama Love! lives, acted by the seiyuus themselves.
RobiHachi has one episode full of official Boueibu artwork and a parody of the series too, a Love-ko doll appears, and Wombat appears as well, named “The Don”. It received an english dub, so for a bit, people were excited that Wombat was going to speak in english too. Also, various mechas appear in both Boueibu and RobiHachi.
18. The director of Fairy Ranmaru (Masakazu Hishida if I’m not wrong) revealed in an interview that he was inspired by Boueibu and aimed to make a show like that.
20, 21. The website super-groupies.com has results for defense and conquest club lingerie sets, dc and VEPPer tote bags, the Beppus’ scarf rings, dc bath sets and the pumps magicalgirlsandcerulean mentioned. I’ve found the s1 Loveracelets and Caerula Adamas’ ring on different sites, the True Loveracelets on TheChara’s twitter and the Happybraces (apparently called “Hapibure”) on broccoli.co.jp but I’m not sure where exactly they were all announced and sold, so I’ll just drop that.
22, 33. Boueibu was originally pretty much a copy of Sailor Moon, I think they were all going to be called “Lackluster Moon” and that stuff and be literally Sailor Moon genderbent. They were all different from color palettes to physical features (except Yumoto’s), and Ryuu was a shota, even smaller than Yumoto. Their names were also very reminiscent of the five Sailor Senshis’. Even if they made it more original, the show is still clearly inspired by Sailor Moon (just look at Caerula Adamas lol) and Pretty Cure. It has also referenced, very blatantly, animes like Doraemon, Detective Conan, Aikatsu and even Vocaloid, when Kyoutarou tries to guess what Karurusu is saying with ““Just Google It, Asshole”?” in ep1.
23. Wombat’s real name and the name of his planet sound like gibberish to the earthlings and ends up being named after the Earth animal, but Zundar, Dadacha, Karurusu and Furanui all have original names. And I think Hireashi means “goldfish”?
24. If you google “zundar technology”, it’s actually a company in Shanghai, China. Aren’t Wombat and Zundar always talking about “advanced alien technology”?
25. Zundar and Dadacha are siblings, so are Karurusu and Furanui, and so are their father King Kamopapa and their uncle minister Wao, but neither are the same species and, except the first two, not even the same color. But they are supposedly related because they share birthmarks or something like that...
26. Everyone who’s in this fandom knows about the pixel blur and voice pitch censor from s1, but I’ve added it anyway because it’s so rare for mahou shoujo and shounen animes to explain why the heroes aren’t recognized when transformed.
27. A good while of s2 ep11 is spent discussing Zundar’s ex-wife and his problems to give child support. Naturally, he gets mad at this.
28. “Money doesn’t betray” (s1 ep6) and “The despair hidden behind your smile that comes from not being understood” (s3 ep11) are sentences that came out of nowhere and implied that the people they were said by (Io) or about (Taiju) respectively had some kind of angst going on but were never explained at all. They’re famous for just that.
29. The Beppu twins’ house in Andromeda shown in flashbacks had strange green circles that apparently are from another anime I don’t know but honestly I didn’t get it very well... It was revealed on a tweet from Takamatsu.
30. Alien language mostly appeared in s2 due to the many flashbacks of Aki and Haru in Andromeda, but in Boueibu s1, it appears on the Zundar Needle before it is shot on the human. It appears a lot through RobiHachi as well, due to being a story about travelling through space. There might be an alphabetical chart somewhere, but I can’t assure it exists, I might even have dreamed it.
31. Hikaru Midorikawa as the melon monster, Kousuke Toriumi as the bishounen monster, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as the kotatsu and panda monsters and Takuya Eguchi as the remote controller monster in s1 and 2, before going on to voice the main cast in HK. Keisuke Koumoto voiced Hatchi Kita in RobiHachi as well as Akihiko in Boueibu, and the characters look similar.
A new addition is that so far Boueibu is the only anime I’ve seen where children weren’t voiced by female seiyuus, but by actual children. Personally, it’s charming and makes it so much more realistic, specifically since no women appear in the franchise at all either (not counting Protag-chan in the game).
32. Speaking of seiyuus, Can I Destroy The Earth? had a dub shown in ep11/12 (?) that made Gora the villain that wanted Earth to stay the same and not progress, against the monsters that supposedly wanted to bring good things to earthlings. Aki and Haru quickly dismissed this dub as fake. (I made a mistake in the title in the previous post btw)
34. As seen in the glossary in the Boueibu Mook (I think, but might not be the mook), Caerula Adamas’ speeches are based on an old japanese detergent commercial that went “Gold, silver, pearl, gift”.
35. In the manga there’s a short parody of the first chapter of Sailor Moon with “Pretty Boy Guardian Gakuran Akoya”. The conquest club manga was released before the anime, so I remember reading somewhere that a fake website appeared for the Gakuran Akoya manga, before turning into the conquest club manga website in the day of its release.
36. Cgi was used a few times in the anime: s2 ep10 for a short sequence of the defense club on a rollercoaster and the carousel monster, ep11 for a cenital shot of the Battle Lovers singing, and HK ep12 for the Honyalaland soldiers and the Wao mecha.
37. The toothbrush incident in s1 ep7. (It’s definitely well-known but it’s so weird lol)
38. “We hope we can see each other again someday!” Something along those lines was the last text to appear in the last episode of HK, implying a s2. We all know how that went.

AMPHIBIA: SEASON 2B TRAILER BREAKDOWN
NEW AMPHIBIA EPISODES!! (Trailer spoilers and speculation! DUH!)
Y’all have NO CLUE how excited I am!! After that huge mid season finale drop, Amphibia fans all around have been waiting for the second half of the season! I did a Speculation post based on the episode titles, and another one based off of the episode loglines for the March drop!
Check them out, cause I will be referencing them as we go!! I’m first gonna do a scene by scene breakdown, then I’m gonna see if my predictions were right, or wrong. So many theories!!! I will also be mentioning the episode titles Matt released in the AmphibiaDirect, so if you don’t want to know, leave now!
If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, click here to see it all!!! Let’s begin shall we!
00:00–00:21: Completely old information and clips from Season 2A that we’ve all seen before with the music box and Sasha-Angst. One thing I did not expect was that this trailer would be so Sasha heavy. I expected her to kinda fade into the background and we’d focus a lot more on the temples, so this makes me have theories I may not have had before.
00:22–00:26: Marcy’s new bird (as teased in the Amphibia-Big City Greens promo). We have two shots with them, one where they are flying down with only a bunch of books that would last a lifetime, or a few minutes with Marcy. The second shot is them flying in the air with Anne and Marcy riding through the sky. I am trying my absolute hardest to not hope for gay then to be disappointed, but c’mon!!! Has no one seen How to Train Your Dragon?!!?!? But Hop Pop is being held in the second shot by the Bird’s talons so I think this is a little more Marcy and Wartwood kind of situation. Maybe somewhere around “Ivy on the Run” with Marcy and her bird being the B Plot.
00:27–00:31: The First Temple. We know from the colours and the shape from the book that it is the First Temple. It seems to have water flowing out of Frog statues’ mouths, and on the temple’s walls there are imagery of brains and a vague Newt Shape reading a book! Definitely talking about wit here! Even all the mushrooms are green, and we know how much Amphibia loves to use colour.
00:31–00:33: The Second Temple! We don’t actually see the Temple, just the archway leading to the Temple. Marcy seems to have the charged green gem on the music box, which is pointing them in the direction of the Temple, very Onyx Equinox-esque.
00:34–00:36: The entrance to the Third Temple. Lava pouring everywhere and pink statues of buff Amphibians? Definitely Sasha, no questions asked. I have no other thoughts about this shot other than the jagged rocks atop of the cave, seems like it could collapse in on itself and cause people to get hurt.
00:36–00:37: Ivy and Sprig jumping on treetops, I think this is from “Ivy on the Run” where Ivy is running from her mother’s strict rules, and Sprig is trying to talk her out of it. They’re so cute! It makes me wanna hold onto them and never let go.
00:38–00:39: Bessie jumping over a ravine with Sprig and Polly at the reins, which is from “Night Riders”, the first episode we’re seeing this Saturday!
00:39–00:40: A First Temple Puzzle where you have to solve a cube to enter the next stage. Seems like Marcy is in “her own little bubble” (heh. sorry i had to) and as she’s solving the cube, the room also moves on its own, with the Plantars being shifted to another side. Kinda like Wulfric’s gym in Pokemon X and Y. This sets interesting character work for Marcy, since she’s known to have issues with connections, but she’s so into knowledge and smartness that she may not realise the issues she’s causing to the people around her.
00:40–00:41: MADDIEEEEEE!!!! Definitely from “Maddie and Marcy”. I feel like they would get together and Marcy would be so into learning about Maddie and creepy magic that they will form a bond. This is how nerds make friends everyone, they find something the other is SUPER invested in and they learn about it. Either that or an extrovert claims them both, and they know each other via association.
00:42–00:43: Giant chicken bat for “Return to Wartwood”. Don’t ask me how I know, I just do. Seems like the Plantars set up a banquet for them, and they’re running away. So shenanigans!
00:44–00:45: Okay, so I initially thought Sasha’s next episode was gonna be in episode 16 (”Toad to Redemption/Barrel’s Warhammer”) and I initially thought that it would be Toad to Redemption, because y’know... Toads. But with Sasha’s pink powers shown in her using that giant warhammer, I think it’s going to be either one of the two, but Sasha is definitely showing up in 216. They don’t seem to be on a train, but the Earth is moving very fast for some reason. 
00:45–00:46: The Newt Lady from the Bizarre Bazaar seems to be activating the tippity-top of the Second Temple, with Anne near her. The position of this is high above the clouds, and there is a blue glow coming from the writings/symbols on the ground. Perhaps this is the charging method for the gems on the box.
00:47–00:48: More First Temple stuff! Writing’s on the wall (man these visual puns just write themselves y’know!) and they are in the inside of the temple. Interestingly enough, the main floor is green like the rest of the temple, but the other side (puzzles) seems to have red and blue squares, perhaps representing the heart and strength (blue and pink) which is what the wit lacks.
00:49: The Newt Lady from the Bizarre Bazaar opens a Scroll with the Music box, the three gems (which seemingly came before the box) and three people in coats almost praying to it. This is definitely “After the Rain” with the story of the Music Box being revealed. Cause we still have no idea what “After the Rain” is gonna be about.
00:50: GENERAL YUNNAN!! Scourge of the Sand Wars! Defeater of Ragnar the Wretched! The youngest Newt to ever be named General in the GREAT NEWTOPIAN ARMY!! (Can you tell I stan her? because I stan her.)
Anyways, she seems to be in the first temple or King Andrias’ throne room. I’m mainly assuming this because the temple because the building is blue or because the spires from King Andrias’ throne room are in the way back there, but there are several Toads there defeated on the ground. Either these were people to protect Marcy at the Temple, or this is an episode where all of Grimes’ command are trying to take over Newtopia under Sasha and Grimes’ command. Quite the plausible amount for theories and plot just from a one-second Yunnan shot.
00:51: A chess board with Frog knights shooting lasers at Marcy. Another one of the First Temple’s tricks, or it could be King Andrias’ plot, since we saw him with Chess pieces of Anne and Marcy at the end of “Marcy at the Gates”, so this clip could either be “The First Temple” or “True Colors” and either or are exciting!!
00:52-00:53: A mole comes out of the ground as Mayor Toadstool walks around seemingly trying to please Newtopian guards and soldiers. “Toad to Redemption” now makes complete sense! I called that it would either be Anne and Marcy helping a battle-hardened Toad, or it would be a Sasha episode. I think its the first part, where Newtopian inspectors are coming to suprise visit Mayor Toadstool and inspect if he’s doing a good job taking care of Wartwood, to no one’s surprise find out he’s embezzling money from the town. The episode would be Marcy and Anne helping Toadstool to become better so he doesn’t lose his job as Mayor.
00:53–00:58: We have three shots here, one of each of the girls. Anne looks back in the rain, almost distraught. This is definitely “After the Rain” and I’m not ready for the angst. Marcy is visibly frustrated over chess pieces, this is either a challenge from the Temple or she’s found out about Andrias’ plan. As much as Option 2 is interesting, I think the first one is more realistic. Sasha in the Third Temple, activating her Colour Power and breaking the ground underneath her to a circle. I am constantly terrified by and for Sasha.
00:58–1:00: Polly and Sprig’s silhouettes running in the rain. Also “After the Rain” but still nothing much to say here.
1:00–1:01: Giant tentacles grab Sprig and the Plantars. I have no idea what this is, but it also appeared in the “Night Riders/Return to Wartwood” trailer/promo, so I’m assuming it’s from that episode.
01:02: Sasha is facing off against a giant golem! Probably the Third Temple’s trial.
01:03: Newt Lady from the Bizarre Bazaar reveals the secrets of the Music Box. Definitely an “After the Rain” episode. I did not expect Marcy to be there though, that’s interesting now. 
01:04–01:06: Two shots from the Third Temple. First one being Anne having a moment of realisation, and the other with the Golem roaring in front of Anne and Sasha. This freaked me out because wtf??? Sasha and Anne together?? Are they solving it together too??? Interaction equals resolution/conflict/character drama.
01:07–01:12 & 01:17–01:22: So how are we integrating baby Marshanne into this??? As for which episode, I have no idea! But some interesting details in this is that Sasha seems to have been the last out of the three to have joined. Since Anne and Marcy are together crying, while baby Sasha is one on the slide standing up (hehe) for them. Between the first clip and the second, Sasha has a bruise on her forehead, so she may have gotten hurt trying to protect them. They introduce each other and that’s the end of the clip. I’m assuming this is finale material, because otherwise I have no idea where this is coming from or going to.
01:13–01:16: Anne pulls the Plantars in for a hug. Still not sure where this is for, but it is a thing.
01:23–01:28: Two shots of Sasha and Anne, which seemed to have been slowed down to around half speed. Shot one has Anne standing, almost distraught wearing what seems to be Newtopian armour, with Sasha’s foot in the foreground. The second shot is Anne holding her sword at the top of the Newtopian Walls to Sasha who is weaponless and has her hands up in surrender. Smoke is rising from the land below, and Anne looks visibly angry. I have no idea what is happening, but this definitely has to be finale material.
A title card shows Amphibia returning 6th March!! Hype.
01:34–01:45: Of course we need happy stuff to counter ANGST! So we have a bizarre sequence of Frobo making a garden and growing flowers in a matter of seconds. Hop Pop is enthralled by this and welcomes him to the family, and Polly looks at him knowingly. This is a very big development played very casually, since we know nothing about the robot besides his goofy self being able to do this. Frobo is the most cryptic thing this season besides the King’s basement, we also have no information on Frobo so this is a striking change. This will take place in “Friend or Frobo?” and I am stupid hyped!!! I don’t know anything about Frobo and I want to know more!! Also Wartwood is on fire. It’s just a normal Tuesday everybody. 
That ends the trailer breakdown!! But I did have some more general theories and thoughts I’ll include here.
Something I did want to mention before we started was the music in the beginning of the non-speaking part of the trailer. To me, it sounded like an epic reprise of John Legend’s “All of Me”, and I’m thinking there’s one of two things happening: one is that the finale song that we’re all crying to is “All of Me” by John Legend, like how Reunion’s was “Lean on Me” by Bill Withers; or, I’m just theorising like a mad person. Who knows!
Also another general observation is the puzzles and how we’ve been prepped for them by “Family Shrub” where each one has puzzles and riddles each person who fits a specific role must solve. Each girl with each of the Temples, and they need each one to deal with their own Temple. Meaning Sasha being at the Third Temple means some form of resolution/character interaction.
As for Sasha, I don’t know if she’s gonna be redeemed necessarily, but I think she might go to the good side and Marcy goes to the bad side. I don’t wanna believe that cause I love Marcy to death, but Season 2 finales are always horrifying before Season 3 finales wrap up nicely. So I’m expecting even more drama than the Season 1 finale. I want all the girls to be happy, and it’s not happening this season for sure. So much excitement!!!
That concludes all my thoughts on the trailer for Season 2B! Let me know what you’re excited for, your thoughts and theories, and if you agree or disagree with what I’ve said here!! So excited!!!!

Please do a recap of all the episodes in young royal Skam edition. How will you divide the 6 eps into 12 (I know it's a lot so its okay if you don't want to).
Okay that’s fun. Lets see if I can work something out that makes sense. This will be a LONG answer, so bear with me. We work with the premises that an episode starts on Saturdays and ends on Fridays. Continue reading....
Eps. 1 (25/9-1/10) First clip drops on Saturday the 25th of September, and I want it to start in the middle of the night, like Saturday at 03:06 or something like that, with Wilhelm going home from the club. The car scene where he’s photographed by the paparazzi. It would be super confusing and out of context, but I think it would be really cool. The next clip would drop Saturday morning with Wilhelm in bed on his phone, seeing the video and all the headlines about his wild night out. The public statement would be a Monday clip, and Wilhelm would start Hillerska Tuesday. I think the first episode should end with the classroom scene where Simon says, “fuck the rich”. That would be a nice establishment of his character and for us to really see Wilhelm be intrigued by him.
Eps. 2 (2/10-8/10) The next episode would start with a Saturday morning clip with Wilhelm stalking Simon’s Instagram. I know that’s not the exact chronology of the real storyline, but we have to add a bit to make it work. The rest of the clips in this episode would be a lot from Simon’s POV where he’s getting the alcohol from his dad, and I would also put his family scenes in eps. 2. The episode ofc ending with the big party.
Eps. 3 (9/10-15/10) Would start with start scene of the real episode 2, and the Friday clip of eps. 3 would be Wilhelm going to the football match with Simon, and end with the two of them riding on the back of the mopeds.
Eps. 4 (16/10-22/10) Starts with August confronting Wilhelm about the night before. we skip the part where Wilhelm comes home. The confrontation will happen on the following day, where August shows Wilhelm, Simon’s Instagram story. The end of episode 4 will be the movie night kiss.
Eps. 5 (23/10-29/10) We would need an extra clip here. For Saturday or Sunday. A clip where we can see how conflicted Wilhelm is. Mondays clip would be him breaking up with Simon in the music room. This entire episode will be made up by the first 10 minutes of the real episode 3, because I want them to go through the entire week being heart broken. So clips we haven’t seen will be added. The episode ends with Wilhelm asking Simon to stay after the parents day, and them reunite.
Eps. 6 (30/10-5/11) The first part will evolve around the parents day, and end with the death of Erik.
Eps. 7 (6/11-12/11) Wilhelm won’t return for Hillerska in this episode. We will see him at the funeral, and at the castle. Simon will write him a bunch of messages he won’t answer - both in clips but also in text updates.
Eps. 8 (13/11-19/11)Wilhelm will return to school, and they start with the memorial. Wilhelm breaks it off with Simon again and is straight up miserable for the entire episode. It ends with the football field scene, and August filming them in bed.
Eps. 9 (20/11-26/11) Starts with the two angels in bed. We have the problem that it’s supposed to be a school day, but in this world, it will be Saturday. It doesn’t really make much of a difference, and Wilhelm still has to get breakfast. This episode will be a lot of fluff, but will end with Wilhelm confronting Simon about the drug thing, and they are once again in a bad place.
Eps. 10 (27/11-3/12) Now we have a problem. Because this episode would be the Lucia episode. But Lucia is on dec 13th, which won’t be until Monday in the very last episode according to this timeline. So, we would have to change Lucia to something else. These kinds of boarding schools usually have a lot of old traditions, so we could easily make some fictional tradition that is as big of a deal as Lucia, and make that the event of this episode, that will end with August releasing the tape.
Eps. 11 (4/12-10/12) The shitshow of the sex tape. It will be a rollercoaster, The boys broken, alone and curled up in bed. Finding each other again, full of support and love, but the episode ending with Wilhelm denying the tape (and all of us go nooo).
Eps. 12 (11/12-17/12) The last episode. Wilhelm trying to keep Simon. Felice investigating. Wilhelm confronting August and the queen. The have a nice Christmas hug, and the look into the camera.
There we go! Haha… And add a lot of insta post and texts to it all, and we have a real time show.

'The Art of Conveyance and Round-Trippery' Liveblog!

7:03 "I'm not gonna apologize for knowing things" the sass. the ✨confidence✨. living for it
7:03 If they build on that it sets Sticky up really nicely for the arc in the second book where he starts to show off a little
7:15 tiny Constance who is constantly dressed in pink with cute little braids is the perfect medium for the most morbid comments 😂😂

12:17 the hard cut from Nicholas in a brown setting and brown suit to Nathaniel in a blue setting and blue suit was lowkey striking

Good morningggg lesgetatit
14:50 "vomit of metal" ashhdjdjd
15:16 a wild Martina appears!
15:36 and if you folks look to your left, you'll see a wild Constance being the voice of reason once again
15:57 "lose the bucket" "I'm not gonna do that" HELL YEAH KATE
16:07 I get not having the bucket on the court lolol, I thought Martina was telling Kate to lose the bucket in general. Like, yeah, good luck convincing her to so that
16:35 show!Kate is much angrier than book!Kate and I'm still deciding how I feel about that. The Kate we've known from the books is a sunshine baby with looots of repressed trauma.

17:11 WAIT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE REYNIE AHEHDJDJD
17:15 HI MADGE

18:37 ohhhhh? Someone's approaching? Miss Perumal perhaps????
18:45 YEAHHHHH BABY
18:50 PROTECTIVE MOM COMIN IN HOT!!!
19:22 THEYRE SO PRECIOUS 😭😭😭😭 I feel like I've been subconsciously starved for her and Mr. Benedict's interactions
19:36 died at that line in the one trailer
20:00 so Miss Perumal pulled a Sherlock Holmes. Love that for her
20:20 Cheri Tupintown??? Of all the aliases they could pick, Cheri Tupintown???
20:33 "Power in Truth Inc" that HAS to be something Rhonda came up with
21:01 you can literally watch Mr. Benedict realize that this is a woman not to be fucked with and he is CORRECT
21:23 "he's fine. Perfectly fine." At this, Mr. Benedict's pants caught aflame.
21:52 something about Constance sitting in on practice!!! It scratches an itch!!!!
22:19 "incorporate the helix. Live in the helix." Lord Helix is pleased with this offering.
22:26 so what I'm hearing is Kate is going to blow up on Constance for messing with the bucket
23:13 unrelated but Jillson'a shoes are cute
23:29 why does this room give off Johnny Depp's willy wonka vibes
24:13 that looks like a chair from a doctor's office waiting room 😭
25:29 they do be egg heads tho
26:02 baby girl, I have no idea why you're crying at weird art but let me dry your tears 🥺🥺
26:50 SHE FOUND ITTTT
27:27 okay Indiana Jones, go off
27:46 why did that kinda sound like Miss Perumal
28:43 the return of everyone's favorite, "enjoyable"
29:05 not that I'm not loving the ice breaker questions and the one-sided conversation, but I'm not loving it
29:22 oh so we're getting right into it aren't we
29:54 his eyes being open again makes this infinitely creepier
30:36 "where's your proof?" Miss Perumal doesnt fuck around!!!
31:29 you're telling me Constance has been there all day?? And Kate went to find her???? 🥺
31:58 oh so we're getting right to it then?? Kate addressing her independence and trust issues arc????
33:29 NEWS!!!!
33:49 CONSTANCE RIDING PIGGYBACK!!!!!!
34:04 okay, so they opened the murder hole, what are they gonna do now
34:59 Italian? 🤨 m'sir that is so fancy
34:59 fun story I learned Italian diction in college, so I know a little bit
35:16 "take your time" the whisperer says, immediately repeating the prompt to get the answer sooner
35:31 theeeeere it is
35:46 SOMETHING ABOUT THE WHISPERER SAYING "YOU ARE HOME" 😭😭😭 the show really played up the cult shit!!
36:02 Kate being protective of Constance 🥺
36:20 ohhh shit is it time for Connie girl to have double Reynie? Double Sticky?
36:36 STICKY
36:52 "what kind of nonsense?" HAVE THEY NOT ASKED THAT BEFORE THIS?????
37:14 "and your tiny brain can somehow pick it up!!" KATE STOP 😂😂😂
37:16 "I knew you had to be special in some way." WE DONT HAVE TIME TO UNPACK ALL OF THAT
37:51 she's right, this is disregard for their safety. The show made Mr. Benedict and his team a lot more back-alley and dishonest, and Miss Perumal has every reason to be pissed
38:30 oh good they finally remembered he has narcolepsy
39:38 and the best mom award goes to:
40:38 I was gonna say that this hallway is how I imagined the KEEP in riddle of ages but then I remembered that (spoilers) the Institute is the KEEP
40:46 oh, hello propoganda
41:10 that's the other person Rhonda couldn't contact, along with Mr. Bloom. This has to be the brainsweeping process
41:22 yeppppp
41:44 this dark doctor's office theme gives me horror movie vibes
42:22 ohhhh, so that's how they replaced that scene where the four of them jump in a crate to hide and Sticky drops his glasses in the open
42:47 and so we've come to the part of the story where Sticky and Reynie become infinitely more conflicted
42:47 and since we've reached that point..... can we have the white knight scene? Pretty please? Please Disney I'm begging you-
43:12 so Reynie just figured that out without Constance? :/
44:03 love the manipulation
44:31 I'm sorry, the farm?
44:35 farm and forest????
45:16 "the Emergency has served its purpose" 😳 well okay then murder man
45:39 "one thought, one purpose" the hive mind rises once more
45:48 LOVE THE MANIPULATION
46:07 "what have you done to earn anyone's trust?" VALID
46:26 "please do!" WHY AM I EMOTIONAL
47:06 "we still have the falcon" that you do 😂
47:19 AYYY HERE WE GO!!! Time for Milligan to stay on the island??
47:49 ohhhh Constance, casual telepath strikes again
48:16 "stop it, Kate!" OOOOHHHHH
48:53 that line ("it would be nice to be unburdened") would be funny as shit if not for the fact that Constance is a telepath unbeknownst to herself and can both subconsciously perceive people's thoughts and hear the subliminal messages
49:20 HI MRS. PERUMAL!!!
49:25 wow, she's really going through with it 😳 not that I doubted her, but still, that's dedication
49:39 OH SHIT
50:17 oh, so he's an asshole to SQ too. Got it. Torches and pitchforks? Ready to kick his ass?
50:40 "for the moment, anyway" FUCKIN WHAT
This episode was really good!!! They covered a LOT. I hope Miss Perumal comes back to the group and talks about her findings, I hope Milligan goes to get the kids and they tell him no, and I hope they get that classic 4-person Society brainstorming and binding time that hits that sweet spot

Miraculous Sweet-ember (Sept. 27th)
September 27th: Chris Master, The Puppeteer 2, & Stormy Weather 2
Tumblr media
Chris Master is the non musical, Christmas orientated episode in the series. Marinette is babysitting Chris (known as Noël in the French version) who is Nino’s younger brother. He’s a tough kid to babysit since at the age where he believes he is no longer a child and should be able to do more ‘big kid’ things. His attention is quickly grabbed by the giant chest in Marinette’s room which turns out to be full of Adrien birthday gifts for the next 35 birthdays. Classic over the top Marinette. Chris’ attention is peaked and he won’t let it go so Marinette comes up with a lie to prevent him from finding out the true contents in the chest. 
She pretends to be one of Santa’s elves keeping watch over children’s gifts. Chris isn’t satisfied with at first with the answer and questions her more until he’s no longer doubting her story. The story she made up was pretty cute and I loved the way she told it to Chris. Her whole interaction with Chris while babysitting was fun to see as well. He was kinda a handful so it was interesting to see how she could work around it. Also how sweet was it for Marinette to babysit Nino’s brother just so he could go to the movies with Alya. What a wonderful friend. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Puppeteer 2 had the notorious statue scene between Adrien and Marinette. And...I LOVE THE STATUE SCENE. ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE RESULT FROM IT. We know and understand Marinette because we see all the time how much she loves Adrien. Adrien however, is not exposed to that side of Marinette...in fact, he isn’t even fully clear on if she likes him enough as a friend. Marinette can be a confusing person for Adrien to understand. We know her ramblings and unusual behavior around him is a result of her huge crush on him.
But to Adrien, a boy who started off on the wrong foot with Marinette and is new to making friends is unsure what to make of her feelings. He confesses to Nino that he wants Marinette to be close to him and see him as a good friend just like he sees her as one. He admires Marinette for all the good deeds she does for everyone and wants to be there for her just as she is there for everyone else. Marinette can’t help but be nervous around Adrien because she gets too in her head. She doesn’t mean to come off as standoffish and weird around him but it is interrupted that way.
When Nino and Alya leave the group with Manon Marinette literally charges at the door shouting not to leave her alone with Adrien. This causes him to believe Marinette is mad at him. She denies it which makes him relieved however, after more rambling she ends up saying he is not a good friend to her. This leads Adrien to ask her ‘what is he to her?’ So she bolts on out of there leaving a sad and confused boy whose hand is stuck in a molder. Plagg immediately tries to cheer him up by joking around with him and possessing a doll head. He is so sure he did something to mess up his friendship with Marinette by accident and admits to Plagg that he is clueless about these things. Adrien sets off to make it up to her. Since Plagg’s humor cheers him up he thought maybe he could make Marinette feel better that way as well. Hence pretending to be a statue. 
Cue Marinette embarrassing herself in front of Adrien for a minute. Marinette is extremely upset by this but it leads to an important conversation. The first attempt was Marinette convincing him she was only joking and knew he was pretending. She only faked those feelings for a statue and not a human being. Adrien presses on, determined to understand how Marinette actually feels about him by again asking her how she feels about him. Of course, they get interrupted by living wax figures. When the time came again where the two of them were alone they both started opening up. They both apologized for their parts in the situation. Neither put the blame onto each other, no one pointed fingers, no one laughed at the other's expense. It was a healthy conversation between two people that went through a giant misunderstanding. Adrien knew he shouldn’t have pretended to be a statue and Marinette felt bad that she made him believe she was mad with him. 
Seeing a relationship go through misunderstanding and openly communicating about it is extremely important. The road isn’t always smooth but what matters most is how you handle it afterward. No one was blamed more than the other, no one was ridiculed for their actions. It was an awkward and embarrassing situation but it did not ruin their friendship. In fact, it made it stronger. Going through rough patches and overcoming them together strengthens relationships. Both were willing to come together and be honest. Both wanted to correct the situation. I loved how the statue scene gave Adrienette the opportunity to discuss their feelings more openly.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Stormy Weather 2 may have been a clipshow episode but the last two minutes revealed something important. Marinette went to Adrien’s house to drop off the lessons he missed from class. This time she wanted to make sure that Adrien knew that his friend Marinette delivered the lessons. Even though Natalie agreed she would let him know she decided to attach a cute little note signed with ‘love your friend Marinette’. Adrien still has the mysterious unsigned valentines day card that he received and noticed that Marinette’s handwriting actually similar to the one on the card. Being a romantic, he had hopes that it was from Ladybug. 
Although he wasn’t technically wrong with that assumption the card was meant to come from Marinette. With the possible evidence right in front of him that Marinette is the more likely of the two to give him the card he shuts down the idea. Adrien is very good a piecing the picture together when presented with small clues. But when he feels like things can be easily disproven he drops the hunch. The fact that Adrien considered Marinette to be the one who wrote the card was a big moment. He was so close to knowing Marinette’s true feelings for him and once he does learn I cannot wait to see what he does.

About Sweet-ember:
For the month of September I wanted to spread some positivity and praise Miraculous Ladybug on the things I’ve appreciated/enjoyed from the show.
Everyday I’m going to select one particular moment, event, theme, etc. from an episode of Miraculous and shared what I liked from that episode. Each post will discuss 2-3 episodes (from season 1-3; 78 episodes in total).
Whether its something big or small there is something positive that I can take away from every single episode of Miraculous.
Please feel free to add a moment from these particular episodes that you loved to this post as well!
Salt towards the show, characters, ships will not be tolerated!

Reacting To: The Hollow (Season 2 Episode 2)
Tumblr media
Episode Title: Hollow Games
Key Highlights (Spoiler Warning): Kindly proceed if you’ve already seen the episode or simply don’t care about spoilers.
This episode was amazingly gay, wasn’t it? Let’s begin:
1. The episode picks up where things left off in episode 1. Our favorite trio are being cornered by their greatest childhood fears.
2. Mira decides to confront Adam’s fears for him and the rest of them follow her lead with Adam taking on Mabel, the giant chicken and Kai taking on creepy doll. The guys take on a physical approach but Mira tries to reason with the bullies. Unfortunately, none of their methods are working. 
3. Amidst all of this, we find out that Mira has an older sister on top of her younger brother, Miles.   
4. At one point, Adam is pinned down by Mabel with its foot and Kai sees that he’s in trouble and goes to rescue him. 
Tumblr media
5. Kai yells and tells Mabel that he’s not afraid of it and as it’s about to charge right at him, it disintegrates. I like how Kai is the one to save Adam this time around instead of the opposite because it’s usually Adam who saves him. Basically, they discover that facing their own fears is the way to go. Well, it’s pretty obvious, no? But it seems a little too easy for all of them to conquer their fears by just yelling at them. Oh well...
Tumblr media
6. After the showdown, they head back to Kai’s big mansion to make sense of what’s happening to them. During their discussion, Kai seems to regret having had a crush on Mira because she’s Miles’s sister. What’s the deal with her brother, Miles? Oh right, we’ll find out later in the episode. 
Tumblr media
7. Hold up, hold up, hold up! Kai still thinks that Adam and Mira have a ‘thing’ for each other and he doesn’t want to get in between them. Is this going where I think it’s going?
Tumblr media
8. OMFG!!! Stop everything! Drop everything. Kai said “I’m gay”. He said the word GAY. And he said it so casually! I didn’t expect this coming out to happen so early on in the season. I love it! Kai’s reaction was cute and totally chill. But poor Mira almost had forgotten that she actually kissed Adam. She apologizes to him and blames it on the memory block she had due to the game. Sure Mira :)
9. But seriously; It’s pretty clear Mira knew that he was gay all along and I’m sure if she had her memories with her at that time, she wouldn’t have kissed him. Oh and Adam is aware he’s attractive. Of course he is! How can anyone resist someone who is as tall, dark and handsome as he is. 
10. I’m smiling so hard right now. But anyways, back to the situation at hand; They’re now talking about the glitch they saw when they were playing the game (back in season 1) and how the glitch was able to create such an accurate depiction of their lives. Adam thinks that they’re now on Level 2 of ‘The Hollow’ but Mira isn’t buying that theory. Master Kai still thinks it’s all a dream. Will he just stop?! LOL
11. They call for The Weird Guy’s help but nothing happened. Mira thinks they should look for him at The Hollow Games studio. But before they could all leave for the studio, they’re stopped by Davis, Kai’s butler. He insists that Miles should head to bed and that Mira and Adam leave the mansion. 
Tumblr media
12. If you look closely at his sleeves, the initials K P are on it. That means Kai’s last name starts with a P. I wonder what it is? Maybe it’s Parnall for Connor Parnall, the voice actor for Kai? I think it’s adorable how he says, “Silly Adam” before going to bed. 
13. Mira drops Adam outside his home but she’s too wary of everything that’s happening around them and isn’t convinced that Adam should trust his parents and stay with them. I completely understand Mira. She really wants everything to be solved asap and she wants to go to the studio to see The Weird Guy tonight. But there are too many uncertainties and she has to consider what both Adam and Kai want as well. She also feels like she can’t trust Adam because she doesn’t know if he’s real or part of the game mechanics.  
14. On the other hand, Adam thinks that they’re on Level 2 of the game and they just need to live like they usually do and wait for quests or challenges to appear before them. It’s sad to watch them argue. I guess that’s how being in a complex game/experiment-thingy does to your mind; You can’t help but to come up with any sort of scenario. 
Tumblr media
15. Okay, so we now know that Mira and Adam are actually childhood best friends prior to starting the game. They even carved their initials on a sidewalk. 
Tumblr media
16. Remember in my episode 1 review when I said Adam’s mom is creepy. This scene right here takes the entire cake for me. *Shudders
17. Adam is busy searching for clues in his room and finds a Moby Dick book but with completely blank pages. How strange. This world is really messed up. Mira is driving through town and sees Skeet speed-running on the streets. This should be interesting. Since last season, I’ve always thought of Skeet to potentially work with the main trio one day since he was so reluctant to fight them. We shall see what happens deeper into the season. 
18. The next morning, Adam and Kai meet up outside the donut shop and Kai is freaking out because he says he hasn’t woken up from his dream. He tells him about a new theory he has to explain why everyone is acting so weird: an Alien Invasion. I honestly can believe any explanation at this point because everything is so messed up. 
19. Mira didn’t show up and they become worried. They walk over to Mira’s house and ring the doorbell. It’s Miles! And he immediately recognizes Kai. Miles and Kai seem to be gaming buddies. 
QUESTION: I’m now wondering about how long Kai has known Mira and Adam prior to ‘The Hollow’. I guess he could be childhood friends with them too? 
20. Adam thinks that Mira probably went to the Hollow Games studio last night and they make their way over there. They are stopped by a security guard who doesn’t even know what building she’s guarding and isn’t aware of ‘The Hollow’. I guess this supports my theory that only current game players know what ‘The Hollow’ is. 
Tumblr media
21. Is it just me or does Adam always feels like he has to touch Kai in some way or form, every chance he gets? I’m not complaining though.
Tumblr media
22. Darla is hilarious and I totally stan her. We need to see more from her and her ex, Steve. Apparently Reeve is or was friends with Adam and Mira in real life. From my understanding, all three of them were in a team (for The Hollow?) before something happened and they had to recruit Kai as his replacement. I love all the backstory we’re getting. This season is doing a good job with that. And this explains the picture of the 3 of them in Adam’s room last episode. It’s such a contrast because they were kinda direct enemies last season. 
23. They sneak into the building to find Mira and they’re pretty sure she’s in there because her scooter is parked outside. 
Tumblr media
24. It looks like it’s ‘The Hollow’ champions wall. We see a picture of Gretchen Aguilar and her team but no sign of Adam, Mira and Kai on that wall. This further confirms their suspicion that they haven’t actually won the game yet. 
25. They head to the stage room where the participants would wear their VR-looking googles and play ‘The Hollow’. Kai trips on a cable that he suspects is connected to a server room that powers the game. But Adam calls him from what it appears to be the control room as he is looking through files to gather more information. 
26. After surviving a random and sudden earthquake, they come across the server room but they are swarmed by a bunch of laser-shooting bots. They barricade themselves inside the room, which has a broken wall that leads to a big portal. They suspect that Mira jumped through that very portal.
27. Adam isn’t sure if they should enter that portal but time is running out and they need to make a decision fast. 
Tumblr media
28. Any excuse to touch Kai huh? He is so smitten by him (I need to stop lol)
29. The episode ends with the two of them literally taking a leap of faith into the portal. Stay tuned for my reaction to episode 3, which will be out very soon. BTW y’all, I’m still not over Adam’s coming out scene to Kai! Cue me replaying that scene over and over again.

Note
Brothers anon back with a worked out timeline! And Misstressoffandoms sorry im responding so late! I completely missed your reply. Thats what I ended up doing but im hoping to eventually be able to completely copy those eailer asks and put them on my notes app.
When this gets a major update I'll resend if you want me too.
CURRENT AGES! (When they left Subbin)
Ran-19
Ranbob-26 (Previously 28 but decided to change it a bit, decided I didn't like the 9 year age difference between the brothers)
Watson-33 (Previously 35 but decided to change it a bit)
Jackie-16
Grievous-22
Benjamin-30
Cletus-24
Charles-25 (Previously 27 but decided to change it)
Isaac-29
CURRENT TIME LINE! (THIS IS NOT INDEPTH AND IS INSTEAD INTENDED TO GIVE A BRIEF SUMMARY OF EVERYTHING, DETAILS MAY BE CHANGED DEPENDING ON WHATS ADDED)
-Dream gets control of Ranbob and uses him to basically commit genocide in Mizu, Ran barely escapes. 
-After living alone for 6 years Ran arrives in Subbin, takes part in the Pit tournament, and gains a family. At the same time the fishermen find and rescue Ranbob, bringing him to their home.
-2 years past with Ranbob recovering and having a haunting, and Ran fighting while spending time with his own haunting. 
-Isaac manages to convince his group to go to Subbin even though Ranbob is a bit nervous, the fishermen join The Pit for the promise of money and fun. Ranbob gets pinned against Ran (doesnt know its Ran) and sees the King of The Hill is on with Ran at the top. Ranbob climbs up to see Ran there, he is shocked and approaches him with weapon dropped and shaking, Ran kicks him off the edge. Ranbob slams his head into the ground and dislocates his shoulder, rises up to see the King of The Hill dropping. Ranbob tries to talk to Ran only for Ran to run to him and slam him into the ground, yelling at and threatening him. He carries him over to the edge of the arena and at this point Porkius calls off the fight and the fishermen and Gladiators enter the arena to seperate them. Ran cursing out Ranbob as he gets dragged away. Ranbob gets treated in the medical wing as Ran storms about and the two groups talk and match everything up.
-Weeks past with incredible tension in the air. They decide that taking a trip may help and after getting approval from Porkius, manage to convince Ranbob and trick Ran to come along.
-After agurements and tense moments while in a carriage, they get out and walk to their next destination. A flower biome. Where they manage to relax and have fun for a few days before moving on.
-Next Watson leads them to a nearby waterfall he found with a tunnel behind it, the brothers get water splashed on them by Isaac and Jackie being idiots, and from dripping water in the cave, leaving Ran with burns to his neck and hands, while Ranbob has burns to his cheeks and also to his neck. The burns fade quickly with help of burn cream Watson brought with. 
-After they pass the tunnel they see a shattered Savanna, and decide to travel through it. Tension ramps up when both Grievous and Cletus almost fall off halfway up a mountain, and when Rans scowling and growling end up sending Ranbob so far away from him he almost walks off the edge. 
-Watson says the Savanna is to dangerous and leads them to a nearby roofed forest, where they have their first run in with Raq and learn that Ran is still being hunted. 
-After 3 morw run-ins with Raq they move to another forest, this time Oak, and stumble upon a village, where they stop for supplies. This is also where they learn of Kelalen, but the librarian they learned it from dismisses them as lunatics and to avoid them. Upon pressing for more info they find out it was like Mizu, to which Ranbob shows interest and excitement.
-They move on to a Tagia biome where everyone attempts to tame a wolf and fails, expect Charles, Watson, and Ran. Charles gets 4 dogs from this and is very happy.
-While running to shelter in a cave from a thunderstorm, the brothers lag behind the rest, and start to badly agure. At the end Ran shouts something that makes Ranbob stop, stare at him with teary eyes, and run away. Ran almost goes after him but doesnt and instead goes to tell the others. While Ranbob finds another smaller cave to hide it, and after some harsh words, everyone goes searching for him. Leaving Ran alone and leaving him with his guilt ridden, horrible feeling, and merciless mind
-They get Ranbob to come back to find Ran gone, at first almost no one wants to go after him. Saying how it's all his fault. But eventually they agree to look for him after the storm has passed. Its a full day until the storm passes and the gladiators have become very worried for Ran. 
-When they finally look for him, it takes them hours to find him. And they only find him when there's a sudden shout through the woods, leading them to Raq mid-attack on Ran, taking advantage of his distraction of being lost in his own mind. Sadly their a bit late and aren't able to save Ran from a blindness potion. But are able to chase Raq away. Ran suffers due to the potion, and everyone is distressed.
-3 days pass until they manage to collect themselves up enough to move, after Ranbob said that he believes the town of Kelalen is nearby, he believes traveling there is worth the risk.
-It takes a week to travel to Kelalen and at first they get turned away, before Lucia recognizes some features of Ranbob and feels bad turning them away when Ran is blind. So they get brought in and Ran gets cured. 
-They stay in Kelalen for 4 weeks (minimum, may be more later on, im actually thinking along the lines of months) where they learn more about everything and Foolish who is particularly interesting. And after a while and long conversations they say goodbye and continue on to their next biome, a snow biome.
-While in the snow biome they meet a particular old enderman who used to live with members of the SMP. He reveals his name as Edward and upon meeting Ran and Ranbob he makes the connection with them to Ranboo. And starts to happily tell stories and teach lessons. But when Ran leaves to go to bed, Edward reveals that Ran does love Ranbob, but is struggling with his own nightmares that make it hard for him to show it to Ranbob. Who hesitates believing him, but eventually does. From here on Ranbob looks at and thinks of Ran in a different view. 
-After the snow biome theres no real destination next on their list, so they decide to just explore. 
-3 months past before something interesting happens. Whenever they come across a village Jackie has formed a habit of asking them about Foolish, as he took a interest in him. And he eventually gets a village that goes "Yes Foolish is that way." And he excitedly drags everyone else with him to meet Foolish. 
-They get to Foolish's home and start exploring. Jackie is alone when Foolish confronts him and Jackie brings him to the others. Foolish isn't exactly nice at first but warms up upon seeing the brothers again, as he's reminded of Ranboo. Hes informed about Dream and he is horrified to learn that and offers his help, they decline beliving themselves already free of Dream. Just before the group leaves Foolish gives them access to his armoury, saying how he feels like they'll need it. Before Ran can leave Foolish gives him a special totem of undying, saying he truly means he'll help, and that he feels they may face Dream again. Foolish tells Ran to break it when they need help and he'll be summoned to them. Ran leaves disturbed.
-2 years have passed with the group and brothers getting closer, along with occasional attacks from Raq and other hunters. They head back to Subbin. Their goal of getting the brothers closer achieved. Their still not as close as they used to be, but their close enough they can joke around, be left in the same room together alone without someone being stabbed, and even hug. Though Ran still hasnt fully forgiven Ranbob yet, but he's trying his best. Their on their way back to Subbin when nightmares between the two start ramping up, and Ranbobs episodes where he tries to run back to Dream are also on the rise. Everyone is starting to suspect something is happening but isn't sure what and so try to move on. When next Raq attack he brings back up again, this time instead of focusing on Ran, they focus on Ranbob. When Raq is defeated and finally caught, they ask why, and Raq reveals that theres a person who put a high bounty on Ranbob. Raq dies from Ran and Cletus.
-Ranbob fears its Dream, the others comfort him saying Dream can't escape Mizu. Their wrong.
-They finally get to Subbin and things are normal for a while, until Porkius reveals that Ranbob probably shouldn't be alone for a while. When asked why he reveals that the bounty on Ranbob has been put back up in Subbin, although he's going as fast as he can to nullify it. Benjamin, Charles, and Watson go to the local bar where bounties are put. And sure enough there's one for Ranbob there.
-When they get back Ran reveals what Foolish told him about facing Dream. They realizie Dream somehow got out and is hunting Ranbob down. Ranbob is terrified but they manage to comfort him. And they come to the conclusion they need to fight Dream. They spend months preparing and training for it. 
-(This is the end bit and has yet to be fully figured out. So it'll be added in at a later time.)
Notes: During the whole time traveling, unless specified, Ran and Ranbob are far away from each other. Ran tending to be in the very front of the group with Ranbob in the very back. And whenever Ranbob got close to a gladiator Ran would growl at him to back off. 
If you have any questions feel free to ask! (And if I missed anything please tell me so I can add it)
And I wanna check, am I still ok to send these?- to like talk about my au or no?- I'm afraid I've overstayed my welcome honestly and if I did I dont want to annoy you and will stop! And if you still don't mind, is there anything you want me to change? In general?
This’ll be helpful for the future! Also, Charles has four dogs, that’s adorable. 
Of course you’re okay to send ‘em, I love reading these things! 
I will never be annoyed about getting to see someone’s cool ideas and see how they choose to build on them. That sort of thing is awesome, and I love seeing it, your AU most certainly a favorite in that like. Send as many as you’d like, and I’ll be all the happier for it.

“How come you always want what you can’t have?” - Dean & 14x10
Edit 2/20/22: This theory has been unfortunately debunked due to the recent explanations/discussions by both Jensen and Jared about 15x20
After rewatching 14x10, it blew my mind and I had to break it down. 
Ten episodes before 14x20, the season finale (breakdown post of that one to follow), we get 14x10, “Nihilism” and we get some interesting things before this:
Wayward Sisters got dropped in 2018 by the network which was confirmed by them & Dabb, Berens, and the cast of the spinoff (some time after another SPN spinoff also got dropped)
Episode 14x10 aired: 1/17/19, shot in 2018, written in 2018
J2M announcement of end of SPN to the fans/public: 3/22/19
Filming for season 14 wrapped up: 3/26/19
Here Misha mentions that Dabb knew that the series would end before the season finale of 14 was written (34:25 - x)
This is the first episode where we see Alternate!Michael talking about why he wants to burn down the world in great detail and he mentions Chuck. 
1) Name of episode is “nihilism” - the definition from Google is: the rejection of all religious and moral principles, in the belief that life is meaningless (x) -- basically nothingism & rejecting laws, principles
2) Cas has already made The Empty deal for Jack’s life at this point. But what happens in this episode pretty much leads to the rest of what happens this season which then leads to season 15:
Jack uses his powers to save Sam, Cas, Dean, Maggie, and the other hunters, burning off some of his soul -> Jack using his powers again to kill Michael and save Sam, Cas, and Dean, burning off the rest of his soul -> Mary’s accidental death -> leads to Chuck showing up & killing Jack
Dean keeps Michael inside his mind to keep him from getting free -> Ma’lak box plan -> Michael breaks out & kills all the hunters, forces Jack to use his powers to stop him -> Mary dies -> he and Cas are on the outs -> he nearly does as Chuck suggests & is about to shoot Jack but decides against it which reveals Chuck’s true intention
Sam (& Cas) are able to rescue Dean -> Sam does everything to change Dean’s mind about the Ma’lak box plan which eventually leads to Michael breaking free -> Mary dies -> Sam arrives to see Dean choosing not to shoot Jack -> figures out Chuck’s true intention & reveals it -> takes a shot at Chuck with the Equalizer to stop him
3) the monkey in Rocky’s bar - and what is under the monkey? a squirrel holding onto a beer
4) this woman (1:15 - x) appearing in the bar - she served no purpose to the plot or even the surrounding events/location - the dialogue from her scene with Dean: “Mr. Winchester. Brought the papers I mentioned. I know you said you weren’t interested but, just a few signatures and you could--” “Can I get you a drink?” “I’m in a bit of a rush.” “Well, sorry you wasted your trip out here but um, Rocky’s still isn’t for sale.” “Rocky’s...looks pretty dead. And it’s a very generous offer.” “Well, all the same. This bar, I’ve never had anything this nice. So that sale that you want so bad, well, it’s just not gonna happen.” She then slams her suitcase shut, storms out, ignores Pamela yet again as she did in the beginning. She has corporate attire, acts like a stereotypical corporate representation, and what is the name of the bar? Rocky’s or more apt:
Tumblr media
We know Sam is Moose and Dean is Rocky.
5) “How come you only want what you can’t have?” (link above, 2:27) - this dialogue with Pam follows right after that scene: “I’m heading out for a hot date.” “How come you always have a boyfriend?” “How come you only want what you can’t have?” “Whoa.” “Besides, you don’t want me. You just like to flirt. I’m a psychic, so I kind of know. So, still not ready to sell the bar, huh? A lot of money.” “Sell? This bar? This is my dream.” “Yeah.” - isn’t it interesting that they chose to bring Pam back for this episode? A psychic who knows these things about Dean? Knows what he really wants? Pam is a stand in for the writers here. ‘How come you only want what you can’t have, Dean?’ And sure enough, next season we get 15x07, not just to show us what way Dean could have gone had he given up hope after finding out about Chuck’s manipulations but also because (and it makes me sad to say it) that was never going to be Dean’s end. It’s a way he could have gone (owning his own bar & retiring) but it wasn’t going to happen. That is why Lee turns out like he does in the end and Dean is the one who has to put him down. And sure enough, he goes back to the bunker, to his family, to his path/ending story line. And yes, the boyfriend line can be applied to a romantic partner for Dean (15x10 - he always thought he could be a good dancer if he wanted), but it’s also about his ending, his dream, his desire for something more in his life than at the end of a blade or a gun.
Tumblr media
6) Vampires - out of all of the monsters that could show up to Rocky’s, vampires are the ones that do, that already have one vampire inside acting as a passed out drunk - interesting that they chose that, right? and not just for them to show up but also to have one already inside that Dean and Pam have no idea is a vampire until it attacks - we see over and over again how Dean takes out both vampires and does it well - we also see Dean mention to Pam “Are you just going to leave that guy out there with the booze?” so even though he doesn’t know it’s a vampire yet, he doesn’t want this guy left unattended, has taken notice of him which Pam tells him he’s passed out
7) Sam & Cas - when Sam & Cas first enter inside Dean’s mind - it’s dark and almost looks like The Empty - Cas has to sift through Dean’s memories in order to try to find him. What are some of the bad memories we hear? “We had a deal! You can’t escape me, Dean. You’re gonna die. And this...this is what you’re gonna become. Somebody help me! Sam! Your own father didn’t care-- It’s about who’s the bigger badass.” and then we get this dialogue between Cas & Sam: “So many scars.” “Well yeah, Dean’s been through a lot but he’s strong.” “You’ve both been through a lot and Dean is more than strong.” Then while Cas is talking about wading through Dean’s terrible memories, Sam says this: “Cas, wait a second. Would Michael bury Dean in trauma?” “What do you mean?” “I mean, Michael said it himself. The reason he left Dean in the first place is because Dean was fighting back so hard.” “So, if Michael wanted to keep Dean placated...” “Dean thrives on trauma. He’s hand to his whole life. It keeps him alert, keeps him ready, but if I wanted to distract Dean, I’d give him something he’s never had before.” “Contentment.” “Exactly. So maybe instead of looking through his bad memories, let’s...maybe let’s look through his good memories.” And what are the memories that we hear? Early seasons Dean and then: “This bar. I’ve never had anything this nice. Rocky’s still isn’t for sale. He’s in Wichita with Cas. They should be back tonight. So that sale that you want so bad, it’s just not gonna happen. You just gonna leave that guy out there with all the booze? This bar? This is my dream.” -- interesting choices for sound bites, no?
8) Michael (x) - when speaking with Cas, the latter asks him point blank: “why do you hate this world so much that you want to burn it to the ground?” and Michael talks about why he & Lucifer fought in his world, to get God’s attention so he would come back and give them answers which of course didn’t happen. and then he says this: “And now, now that I’m in here, I know why. God--Chuck is a writer. And like all writers, he churns out draft after draft. My world? This world? Nothing but failed drafts. And when he realizes that they’re flawed, he moves on and tries again.” “No, that’s not... Why would he do that?” “Because he doesn’t care! About you, me, anything. Now at first, I thought I’d do it better. Show him. Be more God than God. But now...I just want to burn every one of his little worlds until I catch up to the old man.” “And then what?” “Even God can die.”  -- to me, this is the writers speaking because what do we get later on in the season? Cas saying this: “He’s a writer. Writers lie.”
9) Jack & Michael (x) - “I mean, what are you? You’re nothing.” “That’s not what you said before.” “Ah, yes. A moment of familial weakness. It won’t happen again.” “It doesn’t matter. Sam and Dean, they’re gonna beat you.” “Oh please. Sam’s so far in over his head, he’s drowning. And Dean, I’ve got Dean under control.” “No. Dean, he’s strong.” “He’s a gnat.” (and where have we heard a gnat mention before? About Cas from The Empty in season 13, Cas who has infamously and repeatedly broken the mold/narrative) “I’m a god. Who would you bet on?” “You don’t know anything about Dean.” “I’m in his head. Literally. I know everything. Like I know how sad he was when you died...on the outside. On the inside, well, it wasn’t that he was happy. He just didn’t care. Because you’re not Sam. You’re not Cas. You’re a new burden that was handed. You’re a weak, helpless thing. You think that they care about you? Love you? You’re a job. A job none of them wanted. And you--” “Jack!” -- who is a god in this scenario? Chuck aka the network - Jack appears to be representing the writers here and their convo is all about Dean before it then becomes about Jack himself and how he fits into the Winchester narrative - knowing what we know now, how Jack’s role changes and ends in the series and how Dean’s end goes itself, this makes a little bit more sense, doesn’t it? 
10) Michael & Dean (x) - “Well, this is fun.” “Get out of my head.” “You don’t mean that, Dean. Not really. You may lie to them but deep down, I know you. I am you. You only tolerate the angel because you think you owe him. Because he gripped you tight and raised you from perdition or whatever. But since then, what has he done? Only made mistakes. One after the other. And Sam...oh, Sam. You know, Dean was his happiest when he quit hunting. Leaving him with your dad, just the two of them. See, deep down, he knows that you will always abandon him. Again. And again...” “Shut up!” “You don’t need them. You don’t even like them. They’re not your family. They’re your responsibilities. They’re a weight around your neck.” (remember how Dean had said previously that Sam also mentions in this episode how Dean felt like he was drowning while Michael was in control?) “And deep down, you wanted, you were desperate to get away from them. And that is why you said yes.” “I said shut your damn mouth!” “Fine, if you’re so tough, why don’t you snap your fingers and nuke us all?” “Is that what you want?” “Yeah, I do.” “He can’t. In here we’re all just mental projections. So in here, we’re all the same.” “So in here, you’re all talk.” “You think I need my powers? I destroy worlds. I’ll crush you with my bare hands.” “Prove it.” (notice how Dean is the first to attack & the first one that Michael takes down) “You fellas didn’t think this out, did you? Even if you could force me out, what do you think I’d leave behind? Hmm? You’d be nothing but blood and bone.” “Then we don’t kick him out, we keep him in.” (keep him within the narrative) “It’ll hold. My mind, my rules. I got him. I’m the cage.” -- Michael is the network here, this dialogue shows how little he knows about Dean for all of his claims to know him, the Dean we’ve seen over the past 8 seasons (at least) is not the same Dean we (the audience/the fans) know. Dean wasn’t at his happiest when he was with his dad alone, hunting. Why would he then want to keep Sam with him once they found John later on in season 1? He doesn’t keep Cas around because he feels like he owes him, he keeps Cas around because he’s family. They’re not weighing him down, Michael is. What’s coming will. John is being mentioned in this episode, the soundbites from the earlier seasons, is all meant to callback to early Dean Winchester and that narrative. And what do we see in the series finale? Mentions of John and callbacks to season 1, early Dean Winchester (& Sam). And what do they do with Michael in this episode? They trap him inside Dean’s head where he can’t get out though they know it won’t hold forever. Which leads to the Ma’lak box plan, Dean ready to sacrifice himself for the greater good though it terrifies him. Thankfully, he doesn’t need to do that because Jack sacrifices himself to end Michael. (and isn’t it ironic that Jack is the one who puts down not only Michael but then also Chuck? That Jack was such a threat to Michael & Chuck? That Michael tried to recruit him, then manipulate him into thinking no one cared about him? That Chuck kept trying to kill him? Jack was a stand-in for the writers and the only way for them to “win” which is also why he was absent in 15x20 so to speak) But unfortunately, just because Michael is gone doesn’t mean that the network is and sure enough, Chuck reappears by the end of the season and the end becomes inevitable.
Tumblr media
11) Billie (x) - “It’s just you. It’s just you. It’s all you.” Dean keeps reassuring himself as Michael pounds against the door. Then Billie pops in with Dean’s death book. “You could’ve knocked.” “Figured all that banging on the door in your head was enough.” “Michael’s all locked up.” “Seems that way.” “Sam said that one of your reapers really came through with the assist. I’m thinking that was probably you.” “Don’t tell anyone.” “You broke the rules.” “I took a calculated risk. I warned you. About the dangers of jumping from world to world. But you ignored me, didn’t you?” “Rescuing Mom and Jack, helping out those other folks, I’d say it was worth it.” “And just look at you now. Do you remember visiting my reading room? The shelves and shelves of notebooks describing the ways you might die?” “Yeah. Upbeat classics.” “Well, it’s the funniest thing. But they’ve all been rewritten. They all end the same way now. With the archangel Michael escaping your mind and using you as his vessel to burn down this world.” “All of them?” “All of them. Except one.” “What am I supposed to do with this?” “That’s up to you.” -- Billie breaks the rules in this episode, something we know she does not like to do, that she is rigid about even more so now that she’s Death - she tells Dean all of the books now end only one way after being mysteriously rewritten except the one she gives him, a noble heroic end/sacrifice to try to take out Michael (via the Ma’lak box) or at least keep him contained so he can never get free and burn down the world, using Dean to do it. The same Ma’lak box that Jack ends up destroying in the end of the season so it cannot contain anyone, especially Jack. Dean was warned about jumping worlds but he still did it anyway for good reason but still, here they are now (as are we).
I’m willing to bet that at this point, when this episode was being shot, Dabb knew what ending the network was angling for. And somewhere around here is where a decision was made by the network. Why else put the monkey in 15x20 where it’s very evident they broke the 4th wall a lot in that episode (see bridge crew shot, Singer in pie shot, “and cut” at the end of the episode, Dean’s death dialogue & Dean’s Heaven dialogue for reference)? Where nothing made sense to the characters’ journeys and their development over the last 14 years but suddenly regressed to season 1 (literally, in dialogue and props/costume)? Where the writers could only give Dean the heaven he deserved where everyone was happy and together, the way it always should have been? Where even Jack & Cas are somewhere in the same vicinity? And then Sam finally joins him?
And even though it makes sense story wise for the story they were already telling in the series, Dean being Michael’s true vessel and all, isn’t it ironic that Michael is now possessing Dean again? That he got back in just the episode before? And now the only way Dean can take him out is to sacrifice himself? That it’s all Dean?
If the finale was intentionally sacked as some have theorized, doesn’t it make perfect sense when Michael is talking about burning down the world because he “can” and then we hear about Chuck? I’m not saying the writers completely screwed the finale on purpose as a big F U, they did try to give Dean something that they could live with while still meeting network requirements/restraints while also having to watch the finale be turned into a backdoor promo pilot for Walker. (think of it like this, SPN: focus on brothers, no romance, someone major dies that affects the main character moving forward, calls back to season 1 of SPN & that audience, unnecessary shirtless shot, Sam/Jared-centric episode -> Walker: important brother relationship, Walker’s wife died pre-pilot so no romance, her death affects Walker moving forward, viewership already tuned in is from seasons 1-5, hot Walker like shots, Walker/Jared-centric plot line) And they also tried to break the 4th wall enough to let you know that this wasn’t them, that this was indeed the network and tried to give hints at to what happened (think Chuck insert in 14x20 and season 15). And remember what Jared said (the one true thing I believe): that they tried to keep it “very, very purposely ambiguously”. 
This is just my take but man does it feel like it keeps coming even more together for me. I always wondered why Michael would try to get Jack on his side one minute and then the next, want nothing more than to destroy him. Wouldn’t it serve more of a purpose to try to get that power under his own control? Why Chuck was so gung ho about killing his grandson? Yes, Jack was the only one who could stop him, but was it just about the ending Chuck wanted, that he was worried Jack would stop? Survey says there’s way more to it than that.
It all really makes sense now.
