Learn to fear that which lurks in the deep.

Stay in the shallows or get pulled in.

Scary Marlow you will always be famous!! I cannot wait for the fishing related trauma metaphors that plague your bloodline!!!!

I keep meaning to do another set of these only with academic tweets, but I think the academic tweets would be funnier with pics of the Marlowe version and I am too lazy to make screencaps (the vast majority of images out there are gifs and idk how to paste things on gifs).

Anyway, here's one that definitely works better in the Goetheverse.

[yeahprobablyamimic]

the Hearts Greatest Desire script was the plot of s2

Hear me out

At The Mountains of Dadness spoilers to follow 

 "The ending of the movie was a big comedy."

Self explanatory! Dnd podcast! Comedy storyline! It all started out in detention with all of them teasing and joking with each other and fucking around. Sonic shenanigans for example.

"It was about the world maybe coming to an end,"

Lark releasing the doodler, ofc. The teens started out “doomed”-the world was literally on track to end

"but at the end there was just this dumb goofy little laugh of a joke"

The entire prophecy being a Scam Likely original. The prophecy was a goof- which then wasn’t good enough/didn't matter and (almost) lead to the destruction of all they’ve ever known and loved AND ALSO the dismissal of the doodler AKA Dood

"that sort of ended the whole story that was going to essentially be about the destruction of mankind by an elder God."

What dood was “destined to do” eventually…

"But who knows what it's gonna be now? Because they were talking about rewriting it…"

the teens showed Dood love and kindness and helped them learn and protected them against people that wanted to manipulate them for their own benefit. Against all odds, they were able to save the deity so many had feared for so long. 

"In the screenplay, it had mentioned ‘the star appears’, and star is underlined multiple times and you got the sense from reading it that it was not referring to an actor."

This part is a little trickier, but “the star” could be interpreted as all of the teens coming together at the end in the epilogue, or even if we wanna go complete opposite and have it be that the teens fought knowing they didn’t need the power of the doodler. They put “the star” first

We then go completely full circle.

At the end of ATMOD, The Doodler and Robert are reunited, and for a moment they show each other love and understanding. For a moment they hold on to the comfort of having known each other, even if they didn’t technically, for years. Stud whispers “Dismiss Deity”, and the doodler is forced to retreat. In antony's words, the doodler “reacts with this horrible high pitched squeal” leaving in pain and fear. 

This time, though, Dood leaves knowing they’re loved. Knowing they’re cared for and for perhaps the first time feeling wanted. Enough that they returned one last time to say goodbye to the first people who showed them true compassion and understanding. The first people who treated them like more than just a power to be controlled. when i asked him anthony said it wasn't on purpose, but its genuinely one of the coolest throughlines of the entire show to me. I love these silly little guys.

Okay once again just gotta gather all my silly reactions/thoughts in one place lol (SPOILERS FOR MOST RECENT EPISODE)

I actually found that intro really funny so y’know what can’t be mad about the things it coulda been

The way my heart sank when Freddie said “I played Taylor Swift” at first

Linc’s favourite bug being caterpillars is actually so cute why was that so fucking wholesome

NICKY YOUR ARM

Oh bye Nicky

THE CHRISTMAS HELL MUSIC HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHY DOES THIS GO SO HARD

OHOHOHOH NORMAL SAID THE B WOOORD

Taylor having the hardest time saying bitch is kinda really cute actually

Ohhhhh it’s a reference to Se7en okay I like that haha

You can’t just tell me that Linc was baptized in gatorade and expect me to be normal about it- it’s- it’s the fact that that’s perfect both for Darryl as a sports dad *and* Grant as a fucking ga(y)mer

The *tension* in this episode oh my gosh so much to say about everyone’s feeliiings

We don’t talk about Hero no no no 

Fr though Norm immediately giving into pride and “I’M FINALLY NORMAL” I have *so much* to say about this and it’s a perfect lead-in to a post I’ve been meaning to make about him heheheheh

The Linc and Taylor friendship in this was real in this ep love that for them

The Linc and Scary (fr)enemies dynamic was REAL in this ep love that for them

Sleepy Taylor aw

The only art I need of this episode is of Abe and Link sitting at a coffee table Matt I hate how much you make me laugh I hate it so much

Taylor rainy day hcs

Taylor loves being in the rain, but I imagine his mom would ask him to take an umbrella, at least sometimes? Or Cass may sneak it into his go-bag other times, so he doesn't forget it.

Most often the umbrella is not used properly.

He's used it as a stealth item to hide from and avoid classmates and teachers that he doesn't like around town. Its a go to way to avoid awkward or annoying conversations. Taylor also enjoys striking poses with it on occasion, works great as a second sword of sorts. He can try super cool dual wielding poses or use the sturdy umbrella as a makeshift cane on the rare occasions he forgets his own at home.

When the rain gets extremely heavy and/or his legs are feeling extra achy that day. Taylor will sit down some place and rest the umbrella against something so he can sit under it. Probably play on his phone for awhile while listening to the rain drops. Probably gets an Uber back home when the rain stops! It depend on how long the rain lasts or how hard he zoned into his mobile games.

Or on the rare occurrence he isn't alone, he'll offer the umbrella to the other classmate (if they don't have one). Its mostly only happened during field trips or at the end of a school day. After the offer, they'll go their separate ways. Sometimes the person will return the umbrella while occasionally it'll need to be replaced. He's got money though and he wasn't really using it much anyway so that part doesn't phase him. To add to that, his mom is usually really happy when he says he offered an umbrella to someone, especially someone that happens to be a girl. She's been giving him the signature Swift fam "you've got this" thumbs up a lot more lately. If he's honest, sometimes the idea of romance is...a lot when it's not a strict 2d interaction. He stops offering the umbrella to people for a few months.

Things are different when his new sidekicks come into the picture. Firstly, when it rains, Normal offers him an umbrella at the same time as Taylor was offering it to him. They ended up accidentally hitting each other haha. Though Taylor's hand stung more than Normal's did given he was not wearing a mascot costume. The two get past some awkward apologies and talk about either music or school gossip.

With Scary, she skeptically accepted the umbrella but asked why he didn't use it for himself. No one's asked him before and Taylor passionately rambles about his love for rain and rainy day scenes in stories as they walk through town. Though sometimes Scary does tease that he must not be worried about getting sick from the rain because idiots don't catch colds, right? He takes some psychic damage with an on cue anime sound effect. Teasing aside, Scary is the first to send him a text on an actual sick day--usually a short, "you're alive, right?" type of message which is nice in its own way.

The first time getting caught in the rain with Link doesn't go at all like Taylor was expecting. Link doesn't have an umbrella like Normal did and doesn't ask why like Scary had. Instead, Link arches an eyebrow and looks at the blue with white polka dots umbrella in his friend's outstretched hand for few minutes and then back to Taylor.

He says, "Thanks and okay, we should share it though." Taylor slowly agrees and the two share it while he remains surprised. It was the first time he'd shared an umbrella with someone since his childhood friend moved away. He was so used to walking alone or keeping some distance when with a person that he'd forgotten sharing it was a thing. Link holds the umbrella above them as they leave school. They talk about sports games and anime, joking around and occasionally playfully jabbing each other with fingers or elbows.

When the rain gets harder though, Link bolts forward to find the nearest open shop. This ends up dousing Taylor with water pretty good! He makes some sound that he hopes the natural rain bgm covered up and runs after the athlete. They end up racing each other which was initially frustrating but ends up pretty fun. For some reason, running in the rain alone or with a friend gives this cozy, familiar feeling too just like sitting by a fireplace or campfire does. Maybe it was because he used to play in the rain with his mom a lot as a kid.

Lastly, Taylor walking with Hermie during a rainy day leads to a teaching lesson. They both had umbrellas and, like certain punk seekers of darkness, Hermie asked why Taylor liked the rain so much. Hermie chimes in to Taylor's rambles with his own fav rain-related stuff and mentions a certain musical number. One of the few musicals that Taylor knew that weren't anime related! Anyways, Hermie proudly shows off his performing skill by doing atleast some of Singing in the Rain which Taylor thinks is pretty cool. The two practice some of the steps for awhile until the rain stops.
