1 and 5!

Sorry I'm so late on this!! Finally getting to my asks lol. 1. Would you rather be hypnotized by a vampire, enchanted by a witch, or possessed by a demon. A: As much as I want to say enchanted by a witch, I gotta go with the vampire. I fucking find them super hot, and being a "hypnotized thrall"? OH FUCK YES. Also I realized I'm into biting now, thanks V. 5. Would you rather have hypno candy aphrodisiacs or hypno candy that makes the consumer suggestible? A: Definitely the candy that makes you suggestible. The slow realization that you're just saying yes to things after eating a few pieces? Ooooooo yessss please.

OH MY FUCKING GOD

Day One - Bodywriting

Using hypnosis on a sub so that every time I write something on their body, they're forced to become and/or believe it about themselves. 

The first time is delightful. The second the 'y' is scrawled in Puppy they drop to their knees. Their inhibitions are gone and replaced with fervent adoration as their cute lil tongue lolls out of their mouth. They’ll pant and bark and learn all sorts of cute tricks for my amusement. 

Cock Slut ends with them gagging on my strap like their life depends on it. Chin slick with drool, whenever their mouth is free they’re begging for more. Utterly insatiable. 

I’d try out all sorts of words. Mindless on their forehead. Silly Bunny across their chest. Bitch in Heat. Cum Dump. Desperate Plaything. Mistress’ Personal Fuck Doll. 

When the ink washes away they're back to normal, left with only the memories of whatever embarrassing acts they committed while under. 

That is, of course, I want them permanently etched in my words.

In that case, I'll tattoo my favourites on and keep them that way forever and ever 😘

Artfight has been cool but in the few instances during this month I have been doodling other things. This is in order to avoid losing my momentum and try not crashing into a art block. It’s alright though do far, however the conclusion I have made this month is that I am capable at making art at a good pace. Art I genuinely like doing while I don’t overly focus on the smaller details. I really mean it when I say the event has been awesome and I will continue the momentum hopefully after the event

Also this doesn't matter but I've decided Alim could just as easily do a pure intelligence build as a dragon bleed build.

Dragon spells are really, really cool and powerful and showy and the whole "bloodflame" vibe is very Alim, and I think weapons like the uchigatana, the grave scythe, regalia of echoiad and in particular Eleanora's poleblade (thought that's more dex/arcane) really fit him.

But also, on an int build moonlight greatsword is like, the most weapon ever to a point that you barely need your spells, and the sheer power of it and the general vibe of being a moonlight sorcerer channeling the power of the stars is also really appealing. And the showy devastation of like, meteor of astel (which I only just got and haven't played around with too much), the potential you can get from comet azure if the stars align, the gintblade sorceries, all are good and I think fits the dragon age arcane warrior vibe of mostly being a mage who can melee.

(This is reminding me that in bloodborne I made Alim a bloodtinge/arcane build lol)

[marina-the-witch]

Really tired of people in the Elden Ring community endlessly shitting on Int as a build. If you seriously think all it amounts to is spamming Comet Azur then you plainly just never bothered playing it. CA is a barely functional spell that works on 4 bosses because they start their fight by trundling towards you like a moron and is practically useless against anything else. Sorceries are poorly balanced, no doubt there, Night Comet outclasses most of them by a longshot in terms of DPS and versatility, but the fun of Int for me comes in making it all work. Just because other sorceries aren't as good doesn't mean they're bad. Gravity Missile, Glintstone Nails, Shard Spiral, Adula's Moonblade, Carian Piercer, Rock Sling, Zamor Ice Storm, Phalanx and Moon spells, all of those are extremely fun and viable tools that other builds don't provide. Sure Int isn't like Faith, you can't shove 50 buffs up your ass and cast Death God's Firebolt of Doodoosax the Frenzied Devourer (Faith is also an awesome stat i'm just joking around), but that doesn't mean all it amounts too is spamming "one good spell" that isn't even good. And if you want that, go Int/Faith. Awesome Build with actual viability post SotE Int Weapons are fun and varied, with both amazing unique weapons like Fallingstar Beast Jaw, Darkmoon, Star-Lined Sword, etc, as well as really good infusable weapon arts, like Loretta's Slash, Glintblade Phalanx or Glintstone Shard. I'm just annoyed that everyone will call my prefered playstyle "no skill l1 one spam for 14 year olds" when their definition of "skillfull" play is dressing up as John Berserk and spamming Lion's Claw until victory.

Wow, loved the finale. Marshall was the worst killer, by that I mean he was a scumbag, greedy sociopath and I love that Jan took him out at the perfect time as revenge for Sazz and saved the trio in the process.

Charles working out how Marshall/Rex got across the courtyard so quickly without being seen was brilliant and using the ledge to get to Mabel while facing his fear of heights and Oliver joining him cos they’re ride or die for each other was awesome and shows how far they’ve all come since season 1.

The Lady Longoria really became a scene stealer just like Eva herself (Mabel went from “keep that thing away from me,” to “that’s the vibrator setting.” lol). There’s at least four settings that can kill you and it shot four nails across the room, wouldn’t want to mix those up.

Everything really came together: the Westies doing the Ding Dong to distract the killer so the guys could rescue Mabel, the killer’s summation and subsequent execution by the OG killer Jan, Sazz’s original script being used for the movie and the return of Dickie, Will and Winnie for the wedding.

Oliver freaking out that Loretta would get killed at the wedding was a bit of a red herring but I’m glad they got their happy ending and are gonna make a long distance marriage work. Bringing Lester back after he’s barely been in the show all season was the first clue to the next victim and then the mention of the fountain in the courtyard ended up being significant.

Next seasons mystery has definitely got lots to do with the mafia, Nicky the Neck, his wife and Lester’s life before he became the doorman of the Arconia. I remember he used to be and actor before he got the job there but was he involved with the mob? Sofia said her husband’s disappearance had everything to do with the Arconia so did she kill/have Lester killed just to get the trio to investigate for her? Was Lester in the Witness Protection Program and his past caught up with him?

Can’t wait to find out what happens next season.

My part of an art trade I did with @lettheladylead !!! It was super fun drawing Loretta Macbridge!! Hopefully we can do something like this again It was totally awesome!!

If you guys haven't already you should definitely check out this comic with Loretta in it!!

(Idk why Tumblr is making the image blurry but if you click on it it the quality is waaaay better)

[merakiui]

wait mera!!!! in the lost city au, if floyb is the cover model and azul is the eccentric billionaire, then who’s taking brad pitt’s role????

OOOO hmmm,,, I think Rook would be the most fitting for that role despite what ultimately happens to him in the film. ;;;; the role is eccentric enough to suit the equally eccentric Rook.

I rewatched the film recently and some of Alan's dialogue with the characters really does feel like Floyb. That exchange when Alan insists on coming with to help Jack Trainer for "back-up and awesomeness" or when Jack Trainer asks if he likes "this woman" (referring to Loretta) and Alan replies with, "Well, I just brought snacks. I know she gets kinda grumpy when she doesn't eat and I get it. I'm a five-meals-a-day kinda guy." AAAAAA IT FEELS SO FLOYB TO ME!!!! OTL

Only Murders In the Building Season Four Finale Thoughts While Watching

WARNING SPOILERS FOR ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING SEASON THREE FINALE AND SEASON FOUR!!!!!! INCLUDING THE KILLER! AVOID IF YOU ARE NOT THAT FAR INTO THE SERIES, IF YOU AREN'T YOU BETTER, IT IS SO GOOD!

Note: I lost track of the day of the week and didn't realize the episode had aired until I was in bed.

Pre-Watching:

I wonder if the plot holes Sazz had found were unrelated to her murderer, Marshall/Rex. Set up for the next season.

I hope Theo appears, I really like his character. I also think he's good for Mabel.

I'd also like to see Lucy. I really liked her character.

Watching:

1:07-1:27 -- Oh, so they have filmed for Brazzos!? At least, Sazz got some more time with Charles.

1:16 -- "TAP IN!"

1:27 -- Isn't Sazz a little too old for stunts like that? Jane Lynch is 64 years old.

1:46 -- Osteoporosis! That sounds like a disease. Is that a disease!? (One Google Search Later) Google: "Osteoporosis is a bone disease that weakens bones, making them more likely to break. Osteoporosis occurs when the body breaks down more bone than it replaces, causing bones to become less dense and more porous. This makes bones more fragile and susceptible to fractures, even from minor bumps or falls. Osteoporosis is often called a 'silent disease' because people may not notice any symptoms until they break a bone. Osteoporosis is the leading cause of broken bones in older people and postmenopausal women." Me: YEAH, APPARENTLY SHE IS! "MINOR BUMPS OR FALLS"!? SHE JUST DID A FLIP AND JUMPED FROM A STORY-TALL BUILDING! "I'M GOOD"!? DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT!?

2:10 -- "Hey, Sazz, you okay!?" Aw, at least, Charles is making sure she's okay, even if she's kind of lying to him. She's making sure he's okay.

3:06-3:14 -- Not related but accent letter choices, why can't they have that on laptop keyboards, instead you have to know like shortcuts and then some laptops don't have those shortcut buttons. Like my old laptop had a numeric keypad so if I wanted to do the em dash, I would hold "alt" then push 0151, but my new laptop keyboard doesn't, so I can't make that dash and I use it more than you think. Look at the lazy double dashes, I've put.

3:18-3:27: "Every time we solve a murder that's when the next body drops. It's like when one murder door closes, someone we know either gets stabbed, poisoned, or shot." I guess that's kind of true? Jan stabbed herself and then poisoned you. "Glitter Guy" attacked Mabel and she stabbed him like the awesome girl she is. (I would say bad*** but I don't like to curse. So what's the age-appropriate way to say that?) Charles pretended to be stabbed by Alice. I don't actually think that happened last season though. There was when Donna poisoned Ben and nearly killed him and then Cliff pushed him down. I guess, Cliff nearly committed suicide. Also he already killed Glen.

3:28-3:35 -- "Why would you say that? You know my wedding is tomorrow. Loretta's on her way now, here to the murder building." That didn't occur to you when you picked this place as the place your wedding would take place at? Your podcast is called "Only Murders in the Building".

4:02 -- It's always kind of annoying when the villain is like "do this or I'll kill you" like they're not going to do that anyways.

4:15 -- Oh, I'm so hoping Mabel beats him up! She is not the kind of woman you want to mess with!

7:02-7:27 -- They're gonna go on the ledge. I don't like height so I don't think this is going to go well for Charles.

7:47 -- Oh! Nope! Nope! Too high! Too high!

10:20 -- I know the feeling! Every time I'm on a high place, I feel like I'm tipping forwards. Ever since when I was around eight, when I was on top of a lighthouse, looking down over the railing and my brother picked me up to take a picture without telling me and I suddenly felt like I was somehow falling over the ledge and I started panicking and he had to put me down before he dropped.

10:54 -- "Are you on this ledge, because I'm moving to New Zealand?"

11:52 -- And now they're dancing on a thin ledge several stories up.

11:55 -- How is no one seeing them? I once sat on the window sill of a second story building and apparently someone called the cops because of that!?

12:22-12:45 -- Marshall, you're doing a terrible job at being causal. You're switching accents from southern to Scottish.

12:49 -- Vince and Rudy are barley doing a better job. "Whatever you have is what we're looking for."

18:46 -- "I'm gonna fly to New York to see Charles make his Broadway debut." Aw. I never actually considered the though that she had seen the play.

22:05 -- Oh, she knew Charles would find him!

23:07 -- Jan to the rescue!? Didn't see that coming! I thought it'd be Rudy or Vince.

28:40 -- Finally, Will comes back! And oh, Dickie, I didn't expect to see you, I forgot about him.

32:07 -- Is Uma going to be the next victim?

32:14-32:54 -- Season five set up?

32:32 -- What did Nicky have to do with the building?

32:54 -- Oh, Sophia's going to be the next body, isn't she?

34:32 -- There's blood coming out of the water fountain's mouth.

34:48 -- LESTER!?

35:10 -- "72 emergencies ahead of you" Are you kidding me!? No wonder podcasters are the only ones who seem to be able to catch killers!

[maineshewrote]

I-just-started-s4e4-thoughts:

I can see how Oliver's least offensive robe has had its effect on Mabel's nightclothes style.

I just love the character/relationship development we get to witness, going from Oliver wondering if they have reached a point in their friendship when they can turn up at each others' place in nightclothes to the trio casually starting every other day by recapping their case while still in their nightclothes.

And just as we are told, literally, by the victim that she was not the intended victim (see: Tap in), the investigation is sent in a whole new direction, and lo and behold—we have use for a second murder board. I'm not complaining, let's not minimize Sazz's part in this case.

A moment of appreciation for the score that is always evolving and utterly beautiful and still very much tied to the original tunes of the show.

I feel like the rare blood type is going to be significant at some point. This is the second time I've taken notice of that, and they don't usually do that unless it's important. Sort of feels as wooden as that lighthouse, if you get my drift. If this is about Sazz refusing (or being unable, more likely) to be a blood donor and someone getting revenge on her for someone else dying because of that, it's either going to be heart-breaking or lame or I'm just rambling.

Oh! But how did they find out they had the same blood type? How about a nice traumatic bonding moment flashback when one of them had to save the other by being a blood donor? Now I'm really getting carried away. The fanfiction opportunities are piling.

Ugh, Oliver's obsession with stalking Loretta was bound to happen but it's so bad, please stop. They're obviously head over heels in love, this is just gonna make them unnecessarily fall out. About that menacing arm, I would love it if it turned out to be Dickie, but the man's chin didn't really look like him in the Instagram picture.

It's interesting that the picture they used for Loretta's Instagram is not a picture of her but of Meryl. That is, Meryl's there with her own hair, not her Loretta wig. (Evidence: much shorter hair, no bangs) Did you know Loretta's is the same wig she wore in A Series of Unfortunate Events (where I thought the hair was awesome)?

Why are Howard's sweaters getting progressively worse? I didn't think it could get much worse from the absolutely faceless yellow thing we saw last episode, but this duck is unfurling.

And where's Jonathan? Howard's saying he hates being alone, so what's his boyfriend doing? Is he perhaps going to work like normal working adults, unlike Howard?

Mabel being the guys' keeper in public, while the guys are utterly oblivious to making themselves appear as ridiculous as possible, love it.

BEN! The way I screamed. That is bloody lovely! Of course it's a double but this is so sweet, it's like meeting an old friend again, even though through most of season 3 I didn't even like Ben. (And I mean most of the times I watched that season. I think I only really liked him the last couple of times around.)

The amount of times the trio has had to witness Ben rise from the dead is staggering. Let's make it a running theme, every season a brief Ben come-back. Can I hear a wahoo?

Peak comedy in Oliver's momentary expression of consideration when Glen said that you can't come back from the dead, knowing full well that's just what Ben did.

The irony. Ben being given rat poison and his double seeing rats.

I LOVE that Howard is auditioning with the lines from Oliver's stage dream sequence. Canonically makes no sense (although Oliver could've used the lines in the podcast) but such a pleasure to watch.

New era for the penthouse spotted. Still unsure which decor I liked best, but it's not this one.

Melon is giving people-pleasing Hollywood Cinda Canning. She should meet the real deal.

This unfulfilling relationship that Sazz was trying to get out of better be with Jan. My boy Charles has had to deal with way too much undeserved guilt this season.

The escalation of the horror-movie-like Paradise dream to the absolutely soul-crushing tragic drama of Charles's heavy conscience was both genius and gut-wrenching. There was so much emotional nuance in that little scene, especially in Sazz's light manner of reply, in the meaningful way she portrayed not only Sazz's stubbornly positive attitude towards life but also the heartbreaking tendency in many good people to bottle up their vulnerability behind a positive mask, even and especially when people who love them unintentionally hurt them. I was deeply touched by this scene. All the while my heart is constantly aching for Charles who really doesn't deserve all this guilt. Yes, we have been led to believe he was pretty egoistic and distant in his glory days, but we have to remember that these negative qualities that we've been told about have been exaggerated due to Charles's own insecurity about himself.

No comment on the Oh Hells, nicely wrapped up for now.

It's actually so sweet of Charles to do the funeral, but there was always a chance it was going to be some big unusual stunt.

Well, look how the turntables. Paul Rudd knocking Charles out this time around.

Incredible how Irish Ben Glenroy in a bar fight could move me to tears.

Save me, heart-warming flashback scene.

I said save me, not break my heart all over again!

Sazz saying, "Let's keep this under our hat," because they basically share the same Brazzos hat. But why do these two Brazzoses' police badges have different numbers?

This show just keeps on giving. Aphrodite is back!

Okay, bit dramatic for someone named after a fruit. Not to pour cold water over this entirely unconvincing threat, but Melon's probably just going to laugh this off and have a silly explanation for being there. No clue here, people, let's move on.

But did you notice the music? Seriously more exciting than Melon pointing a gun was the theme playing during her threat, which was the same one that played when the trio found Ben falling in through the elevator ceiling (You Gotta Be F'n Kidding Me). What a lovely last nod to Ben's memory!

Sweet move on the production's part for only mentioning special guest star Paul Rudd at the end of the episode, otherwise the surprise would have been ruined.
