The kambal's masks

Something that wasn't detailed in the animated series was the history and nature of the kambal's masks. I wonder if Alex ever uses the masks to communicate with Crispin and Basilio during battles? It could be an aspect of why Team Trese is always in sync when fighting.

I just finished the Halo YA series. @bloodgulchblog already warned that the ending is bad (in an ethically dubious way, not in quality--the series is good as far as Halo novels go) but it was even more unsettling than I thought. Some snippets that stood out to me:

Dorian is one of the kids who joins up with the UNSC. A bunch of his friends died during the initial attack on their town. Here, he finds out that the attack on the planet started six months prior and the UNSC didn't sound the alarm to "prevent panic". This triggers his distrust for towards UNSC, ONI, and Owen because he believes his friends could have survived if they had been warned.

Dorian's distrust also spreads to Evie, who starts to question ONI's motives. One of the details that I feel like we weren't supposed to read into is that ONI promised the kids a scholarship to college if they agreed to join the militia, which, considering how the books ends is just.......so disturbing.

"They're clearly okay with lying when it suits them." "Evie stop."

LET HER SPEAK!!!

(As an aside, I did like that one of Saskia's primary motives is she's trying to get on the UNSC's good side because her parents sold illegal arms and she doesn't want to be held accountable.)

And then of course, the most horrifying detail:

Victor has completely bought into the UNSC and is the most excited to have joined up. He gets injured and the kids are brought into a room and told that he's not recovering because of an ONI artifact they were all exposed to.

After """"""""getting his parent's permission"""""" they begin the still-experimental Spartan-IV augmentations on him and tell the kids that they will also die if they don't undergo the process. It is a doozy.

"You really think we're boogeymen, don't you?" Yes. Yes, I do.

Dorian is one of those characters that gets written off by the others as being paranoid while saying the exactly correct thing the entire time.

"I was a child soldier like my father before me and it was no big deal, god."

I feel like Dorian is supposed to be a stand-in for the reader because my immediate first thought when I read that Victor was sick is that ONI not only didn't get his parent's permission, but that they made up the disease whole-cloth. Like, with the context of everything ONI has ever done, this is elementary.

I truly can't tell if the intent was for this to be as sinister as it comes off? Because by the end they all "agree" to undergo the augmentations together because found family, greater good, ect ect and I'm left alone in the room like um......they're in high school??

Ultimately, I am interested to see how four teenagers with wildly different motives would make out as Spartans, but I would be pretty sad to see Dorian as a Spartan because it means they beat the healthy (and very accurate!!!!) suspicion out of him. But Dorian the insurrectionist? Yes please.

«Their relationship runs so deep, it's really something special - where does Mike say he's in love with the platypus??? I feel like that strange creature really is just the mascot for Mervor.»

About platypus, cock sucking and more :) https://www.tumblr.com/snuggly-cuddlebug/161586481190/interview-from-1990

OH MY GOD

what a fucking troll though. (Gerbil as the second fave animal - what an absolute little fucking troll)

You know what though, another interesting part of that "interview" is Mike talking about being a wimp and also not being able to maim himself...like, truest words in there.

THANK YOU!!!

I was looking back recently and let me just say,

As a bbh fan who started watching dsmp during the eggpire (i was first hooked by the animations but honestly its bbh that made me stay for so long) and now a qsmp fan,

It is So satisfying to see people being so respectful to him. Like its just makes me so happy to see him and his little demon of a character get taken seriously and even seen as beloved by so many people

Like i still feel upset by how disregarded the eggpire was by even the other ccs so it makes me happy to see other ccs and even ccs that didnt know him before be so hyped by him and for his skills to be recognised.

I have lots of emotions about this sorryy

when people say "wow i didnt know bad was good at rp/funny/entertaining" im like NEWSFLASH!! HE'S BEEN LIKE THIS THE ENTIRE TIME! im so glad qsmp gave him an opportunity to show off his rp skills once more. when i scroll through the qsmp tag, theres bbh content!! its crazy!!! he's in the big animatics!!! he's got ao3 fics!

both ccs and viewers miss out sooo much on bad's charm cause they think the funniest thing he can muster is just repeating "language". and it's so gratifying to finally see more people actually understand why his viewers watch him

This au is really cool! Marcille is quite put off by cooking and eating the monsters, is Imogen (and by extension the rest of Bells Hells) the same in this au?

(Only because at first thoughts I see her as a bit more make do/practical than Marcille, and that mind reading and being around Laudna would have adjusted her perspective of 'gross' things)

thanks !! i didnt think people would actually read my au word vomiting so this ask was a beautiful surprise !!

i definitely agree with you that imogen would be more willing to eating monsters than marcille is lol

the problem with me being unsure about how dungeon meshi -y the au is going to be is that i don't know who'd be in laios and senshi's positions + if im even trying to put bells hells members into the dm party's roles (i mean. other than southerngothic being farcille LMAO)

but !! i swear im going to figure it out. eventually. probably .

You ever think about them? And how we last saw them alive in Shadows of Reach (2020) which takes place in October 2559*. Do you ever wonder? They acted like this in front of Halsey.

*Yes I know Lasky got audio logs in Halo Infinite from December 2559 but he just quoted Palmer and said a bunch of embarrassing boy scout shit for the Hope theme. I miss seeing his square little head and Palmer.

While non-readers think that one piece is too long. True one piece fans know that OP's biggest problem is that there isn't enough.

THERE REALLY ISN'T 😭

More childhood lore from Trese Lite: Postcard Book 1!

So, here’s another one of my fav postcards from the book. The card shows young Basilio receiving a cup of chichirya (chips/junk food) from a man named Mang TengTeng, with Crispin happily crossing the street towards them while holding two bottles.

From context, Mang TengTeng seems to be a mangangalakal. In Philippines, this is someone who picks up junk like bottles, newspaper, cartons, and scrap metal to sell to the junk shop.

Anyway, the postcard had this message written on its back:

Dear Papa,

Mang TengTeng came by today. He brought some chichirya for us. After the Kambal finished their merienda, they rummaged through the scrap metal in the kariton. By the time I finished eating, they had crafted three different types of weapons. It really is in their nature to be destructive and wage war! I still doubt you and lolo made the right decision.

~Alex

What I found interesting here, besides how adorable the Kambal are, was how they were able to create weapons incredibly fast and just from scraps. I love the idea that even though most of the weapons they wield now were made by the Metalero, they actually have the ability to craft their own. I like to imagine that the Kambal has their own workshop where they create various kinds of deadly experimental weapons as a hobby. I hope that we get to see them use their own crafted weapons in the future! They can definitely fight with martial arts if stripped off of their weapons but it’d be funny to see them insist on crafting a make-shift gun from junk just because they find it more fun to fight with weapons.

There’s also young Alex still voicing out how much she distrusts the two war gremlins and hates that they’re now her adopted baby brothers lol.
