OSRR: 3799

good lord.

the last, like, 36 hours have been so fucking stressful.

tw: friendship problems, toxic friendship. end marked by a meme or something.

i have had a fandom friend for about two years. she's been sweet and fun and silly and good to talk to, but any time i have taken more than 20 hours to reply, she has some at me accusing me of abandoning her when i reply. so i have had to spend many days in the last two years stressing over how to reply so she believes me that i have been just BUSY and not ignoring her or abandoning her.

this has happened multiple times. everyone i have spoken to about it has told me to block her. i have always given her another chance to be kinder and more understanding while resolving to be more communicative. i have done so. but this was my last straw.

i have done my absolute level best to be kind, respectful, and pacifying in my responses to not set her off again. but she's taken my words and actions in bad faith time and time again and i got tired of it.

so this time i told her point blank a few things, like i have done nothing wrong, she has impossible standards (of wanting to talk to me every single day and never going more than a day without messages), she should get therapy, and that i am capable of and allowed to feel more than one feeling at a time (just because i went to bed happy doesn't mean i'm not fucking upset about losing a friend).

but i told her that her needs and my abilities didn't match. i would not be able to live up to what she needed from our friendship.

i have spent HOURS crying about losing her as a friend. HOURS. time i will not get back. effort i will not get back. and while im happy i got to be her friend, i wish she believed me.

i've had to block her on all of the platforms where she and i were connected. if she gets better and owns her own shortcomings, separation anxiety, and abandonment issues, she can contact me somehow. until then, it's not my responsibility to worry about.

and yeah, i'm fucking sad.

but i still wish the best for her. and she's a good person, but she needs to get help. she's been toxic for me. i don't use that word lightly. but us not being friends is probably for the best for both of us. (the good news is that she's been making more friends recently, so her ditching me because i wasn't capable of living up to her needs won't leave her friendless. and that's good, because i know she worries about that.)

so. that's been most of the last day and a half for me.

anyway, after dealing with that, joel and i spent the day playing arkham horror. we finished the campaign we've been working on for a while, and it was both exhausting and frustrating because joel's character was defeated during either two of or all three of the scenarios we played today. my character was NOT built for fighting, so being the only investigator left and getting all the enemies on me at once did not work well lmao

also tmi here lmao

but also today, i have been feeling pressure on my bladder ALL DAY. i've felt like i've needed to pee but i haven't peed much when i've gone. and i started bleeding today, but it's not like a normal period bc the blood is all fresh, so i'm super concerned that my IUD has gotten dislocated?? which could potentially be reeeally bad 😅 so i gotta go to the doctor and check with some imaging that it's in the right place. i hope they can get me in tomorrow or sometime this week/weekend.

done tmi lol

and joel and i went out this evening after finishing our games and went in search of card sleeves, chips and dip, and dinner. we were successful in our endeavors, and we came back around 10:45. joel requested i wrap the gifts he got for our friends and i very happily sat and wrapped a bunch of gifts. i did GREAT. really proud of two of them. it's pretty impressive, i gotta say.

and now joel and i are in bed. my heart is still sad but my shoulders are lighter. gifts are wrapped, i've got one thing to worry about, and that's about it because my insurance will pay for my doctors appointments.

and i did talk to leo today on and off - his shift was today, so i talked to him while he was there a tiny bit and then after he left. man's horny on main and i fully understand lmao

so that's been my day. i'm so tired.

Bestie you did nottttttt leave us off like that 😭 I knew it had to be either Seokjin or Hoseok to confess to her first! I was worried that Jin would push OC away and stay distant for a while but i’m glad thats not the case. Speaking of Jin that little moment when he was texting with OC and sent her those emojis and said the cat was him was so cute I love him! Also same thing with Tae after the near kiss incident I was so sure he’d completely avoid her and tbh idk if i’m buying the i don’t remember what happened story but i’m hoping he’s telling the truth bc i cannot handle it when the hybrids distance themselves 😭

On a lighter note I will never not laugh any time Hoseok calls Jungkook and Namjoon the ghostbusters he’s such a brat lmao! I love seeing their dynamics unfold more any time we get more paranormal action. I’m curious to see what’s been haunting the Sanders family! I was thinking about how each kid must be absolutely enamored by the hybrids. For Julie it’s Jk like imagine ur mom brings some paranormal investigation group and this tall, handsome, tatted up, and pierced guy shows up to your house??? I’d come out of my room too 💀 and how Ms Sanders said her son loves wolves and how he was looking at Namjoon all starry eyed is so sweet! I can definitely see them way more open to the investigation and discussing their own experiences based on their reactions to the boys alone. It just goes to show how truly important each of the 3 members of the group are.

Ok and let me get into the smut real quick bc i simply cannot help myself. I swear Yoongi makes me want to chew on the table as well 😂 That soft dom energy he was is insane! I give so much credit to OC for not jumping his bones any time he walks into the room. Got me giggling and kicking my feet fr.

There’s so many more moments i’m sure but my little squirrel brain cannot remember them all. I swear i need to start taking notes reporting back 😂 it’s only instances like these I think I prefer wattpad’s design bc imagine how fun it would be to be able to comment on specific paragraphs in that moment. So even if i can’t recall every single moment I love, that made me smile, laugh, want to throw my phone across the room, or chew on tables at the top of my head please know that I enjoy all the little moments in each chapter and your writing is never unappreciated 🥲🫶🏻

fkjalsfjesa I'm sorry bestie!!! Luckily in the next update we pick up right were we left off with Seokjin eeeee 🥺 Seokjin was a little distant, at first, when he found out about Y/N and Yoongi, but mostly because he thought he'd never get to be with her romantically. I think after the cooking class, he just couldn't hold back his feelings anymore! AH the emojis he used 😭 he's such a cutie, just a big kitty!

Ah poor Tae blacked out... def doesn't remember the near-kiss. If he did, I'm sure he'd avoid Y/N like the plague out of embarrassment or shame :( I think he'll take some time to get comfortable with the shifting dynamics, but he's really attached to Y/N, so I don't see him icing her out for too too long.

HA I love that Hoseok is the resident skeptic. Even though he witnessed that ghost in the house, he still doesn't really get it like Namjoon and Jeongguk. Speaking of them, they've struck up an unlikely friendship with their team! I'm super excited to write their investigation scene, and find out what's haunting the family 😉 YESS you're right the two kids took a liking to each of them but gkdalgj YOURE SO RIGHT I'D LEAVE MY ROOM FOR GOTH JEONGGUK TOO. I just I'm so !!! pumped to explore this part of the plot with the 3 of them, I think it will help those two hybrids to get closer to Y/N, since they're the less affectionate, clingy ones.

OOF the smut! I'm being soooo honest I need Yoongi biblically. I'm really glad that you're chewing on the table with me,,,, I have SUCH a thing for soft doms and Yoongi definitely radiates that sooo much. Also fr I'd be in his room NIGHTLY waiting for all of that 💀

LMAOO NOT THE SQUIRREL BRAIN BESTIE!!! As for the Wattpad thought, I've been adding the chapters there and eventually when it's all caught up the monthly updates will go up there too, so if you wanna comment on specific things that might be easier 💜

I love love you!! Thank you so much for being so sweet and kind to me, and for reading Trouvaille, supporting me! Your feedback means so much, and I'm sending you one million hugs 💜💜💜

Something I’ve been mulling over bc it also stuck out to me when I first watched the season, took the symbolic reasoning, and then didn’t think too much over it. However, I think I do know the in-character / story reasoning after some time & reflection, so let’s talk about it. Or rather, let’s try to answer

Why didn’t Callum figure out the mirror?

Simply put: because he didn’t, Narratively, need to.

Let me explain.

What’s the Point, really, of Callum being interested in the mirror? We know it’s in character because he’s always in curious about magic. We know it’s in character because he already has a tendency to fixate and attach meaning to objects. And we know it’s doubly sound in-universe given that Callum knows from Rayla’s binding and the Storm Spire archway that elven stuff is hardly ever meaningless or without a deeper meaning underneath.

From a symbolic standpoint, of course it’s meant to show his parallels to Viren, even if his and Viren’s personalities and circumstances are wildly different. However, Callum has even less context for the mirror than Viren did. All he knows is that it’s something Viren has had and is seemingly elvish in design. He doesn’t know it was in the lair of the Dragon monarchy or any hint at all that it’s connected to the archmage mentioned in his father’s letter / that he has a somehow related Key.

One of the main reasons I thought Callum might go after Rayla into Xadia from a storytelling structure was because 1) we need humans in Xadia as an audience surrogate (hi all the kiddos just going into Xadia with Zubeia and Rayla to provide just that) and 2) I always thought they wouldn’t have the time for Callum to have a full fledged arc with mirror Aaravos the same way Viren had and that it could end being too similar to what had come before. (Turns out I was right because the plot didn’t have time lmao! But I digress)

Don’t get me wrong, Aaravos manipulating Callum through the mirror in terms of conversations could have worked (and I’ve written a few here and here pre season release) but that always felt like it might infringe a bit on Callum’s character for two main reasons

1) Besides Rayla being gone, he has virtually everything he ever wanted; helping his brother, a powerful mage, getting to pursue more magical resources etc. Viren only went to Aaravos out of outright desperation because he believed that had “nothing left to lose” and because he had goals he was chasing. Until Aaravos possesses Callum, Callum is a hot mess, sure, but he’s not particularly desperate. There’s no tangible way in - Callum was offered unlimited power back in 2x08 and still turned down being a dark mage. Just something nondescript wouldn’t really work this time either

2) Callum is skeptical as hell and is accordingly slow to trust, and even barring Rayla’s absence, he still had a support system of people who cared about him at the castle, particularly Ezran and Soren (and even Bait) who would keep an eye on him. Callum can be reckless and let his curiosity get the better of him, but he still listens to his instincts (2x03 with Soren and Claudia) and the people around him.

The main information Callum could’ve gotten from Aaravos, if the Startouch elf had been 1) willing and 2) truthful would’ve been details of his backstory - well before his imprisonment, as everything else (the fact that he is imprisoned, the lack of knowledge about where he is, who put him there, etc.) are all things we really knew. So it’d require more of a switch from Aaravos than Callum in a lot of ways too - elongating and stretching things out, and not necessarily giving Callum a segue into an arc where he’s actually able to start processing his feelings. And again, no desperation as a way in

But with all that out of the way, why have Callum be more obsessed with the mirror beyond the initial scene in 4x01? Why not have him investigating the cube because it’s also related to Aaravos and could communicate the same purpose? Why have it be the arguable C-plot of 4x02 at all if he’s just going to be interrupted?

Like I said, there’s the very blatant symbolic reason of Rayla’s entrance being what deters Callum from getting too close to the mirror, her halo’d by the moon figure representing the other path he’s going to choose away from the more blatant visible path of darkness (black dark magic eyes, gazing upon a fallen star, “what if i’m on a path of darkness” etc etc) in the end. I do think that’s the Surface Level reading we’re meant to have as a takeaway, kind of similar to when Rayla spares Marcos in the forest in a moment of emotional illumination. Another path.

However, I think it actually goes deeper than that:

Which is to say, step out of the narrative / audience mindset, and look at it from Callum’s perspective.

You see the six primal sources Rayla has drawn after the craziest night of your life and think of something exciting and familiar. The cube in the Banther Lodge. Conveniently on the way and free of humans. You have to go get it.

You give up on having it when shit hits the fan. You just want to make sure everyone, especially Rayla, gets out safely. You completely give up on the cube. And even though she’s pissed at you, she tosses it into your lap anyway.

It turns out that, of all the possible things and secrets your stepfather could’ve given you that you might have missed out on, he intended and left the Key of Aaravos to you. It soothes the ache in your chest. It feels like destiny, especially after a week of being lost and magic-less

You bury yourself in your work to soothe another heart break. You hate the bulk of what you’ve inherited from your predecessor. You learn how to translate runes. But no matter how much you learn, you can’t translate the mirror. The gleam routinely catches your eye. You hate a riddle you can’t solve

You have a feeling the mirror is related to the evil returning to the world due to Ibis mentioning the Fallen Star; the same way you had a feeling that the cube could help you. (A feeling that Rayla couldn’t be trusted, a feeling that the storm made you feel like it did when you cast fulminus.)

Then you cannot feel anything except numbness as your limbs and mouth move beyond your control and it’s worse. It’s so much worse.

You worry you’re on a path of darkness, that you will inevitably, accidentally, play into his hands because you almost have three times before without even realizing.

You cannot let go of the cube.

In every adjacent encounter, Callum has had a step of separation from Aaravos. He thinks and behests they make a heartfelt detour so he can go get the cube, but Rayla is the one who finds it. Before he can even know the cube is more special than it seems (although he already thinks it’s more special than Rayla does and certainly not worthless), Harrow is granting him key ;) information. He didn’t find the mirror, Viren having already stolen and hauled it back into Katolis, as the last thing Runaan ever saw. By the time Zubeia tells him what it is, it is too late.

In so many ways this exemplifies how even before Callum knew it in 1x01 for a decent chunk of the episode, the events that would radically transform and destroy his life had already taken place in more ways than one: assassins spotted, egg stolen. Harrow dead just as the narrative truly begins.

The cube is his part of the puzzle to decipher, not anyone else’s. Claudia, Viren, and Callum are all needed as equal parts of Aaravos’ plan for his pawns. For Viren, it was the staff and the mirror; for Claudia, it is the quest; and for Callum, it will likely be the cube. This is shown even in 4x01 when the two times Callum is talking about the mirror, he is Interrupted by either the guard coming to fetch him on his brother’s behalf or by Soren messing with the cube, and Callum is interrupted again by the cube glowing and then Rayla’s arrival, literally turning away from the mirror for each.

The point of the mirror and Callum’s obsession with it wasn’t to solely highlight how he’s like Viren, necessarily (otherwise they could’ve just kept throwing in the same parallels they have from the very beginning), but to show how his agency has been undermined from the very beginning and will be to the end (of S6 at least), that he and Viren are tethered by the same thing that is Worse than Death, and that while more cognizant of it, by the time Viren realized Aaravos was using his Power and that Callum was entangled, it was already, as Harrow says

If Callum had figured out the mirror and that it was a prison or even communicated to Aaravos on his own, he would be able to look back and see and know all the places he could’ve stopped, all the places he actively chose to wander down. But even that is taken away from him. Even with delays, even with self-preservation, even by both repeating and rejecting Viren’s mistakes, it adds to Callum feeling like his destiny is already written, that this path as a pawn is inevitable. That no matter how different or similar he is to Viren, there’s only one way this can end, that there are no divergences, there are no other choices - there are no safe choices except to take him out. That he will continually come back to Aaravos regardless of if he knows it or not, that his own wishes will hook him right back in, that his fate is already sealed. That it’s written in stone.

Callum has chased agency (magic) his whole arc, wanting to be able to protect his loved ones and make something of himself. However, he’s also had more agency than he was giving himself credit for even in S1, stopping Claudia from going after them, having the final say about going up to the tower or not. Thus S1-S3 is largely Callum deciding who he wants to be with the agency he has and recognizing his strengths, building his confidence. He hasn’t struggled with concepts of agency more than he has since S2, which is one of the reasons S4 mirrors S2 so heavily in how its emotionally structured for the main cast in particular. Realizing that the ability to fully commit to the choices he wants has been within him all along; that’s why he narratively gets the Sky arcanum. So of course an external factor reaching inside him and taking control is the most bone-chilling inversion of that possible.

If he went the Viren arc as a slowburn in S4, we would get the Viren S4 resolution, of Callum unknowingly giving away his agency until he has basically nothing left. If he was driven to figure out the mirror for it or his own sake, we would see him being having Claudia’s arc, falling further and deeper in with a devastating relentlessness.

Instead, we get that lack of agency on speed run to give Callum the opposite arc of having agency brutally ripped away from him, only to open up a path for him to take it back stronger than ever before. In many ways, Callum has more to lose and more at stake, the fact that he can be possessed an even greater blow now than it would’ve been in Arc 1.

Arc 1 for him was about acclimating and adjusting to Power. and believing in his own Potential .This first portion Arc 2 is about how much of a say does he have in how he uses that power, now that he’s no longer a child; now that he’s no longer free.

Callum doesn’t typically worry about making the wrong choice, however. Most of his anxiety tends to stem when he feels like he has no choice. Thus, it sets Callum up to have a really interesting arc of reconciling these dualities rather than just retreading old steps. Viren had full agency when chasing after Aaravos; as Soren says to Claudia, “Dad is dead; you don’t have to do what he wants anymore,” believing that Claudia is merely picking up where Viren left off, not that she’s steamrolling their own father into it in order to save his life.

It’s one of the reasons that of all characters, Callum arguably also parallels Zym a great deal as well. Like Zym, he’s being treated like a thing and a weapon more than a person. Like Viren believed of Zym, Callum worries he may be forced into a terrible destiny. That:

Callum being possessed is still a form of manipulation, if not also a misdirect, forcing him into a desperate position that makes him even more vulnerable to Aaravos than he ever could’ve been otherwise. But it’s a different form of manipulation than how Aaravos lured in Viren, and a different form than how he’s manipulated Claudia the past two years. Aaravos is terrifying because he knows what strings to pull, not because he’s pulling the same strings every time. For a character with such a strong breath / mouth / freedom motif, being choked / being robbed of his voice / and of his freedom is the absolute biggest smack in the face. I’ve long mandated that the worst possible thing that would rattle Callum the most would be feeling like his mind was unsafe because of Aaravos, not his body.

Callum seeking Aaravos out in S4 of his own accord is thematically / narratively opposed to the possession plot line. The possession plot line is the ‘replacement’/subversion chosen, but it’s not a bug; it’s the feature.

It also sets Callum up to have a really interesting arc of battling for control, eventually winning it (S5 and/or S6) but still losing to Aaravos, making the wrong choice or call or being forced into something anyway while he’s cognizant enough to make a choice at all, anyway. It’d be empowering and demoralizing all at once.

But still not without any hope, since, after all:

Nothing is truly inevitable. Nothing is written in stone. It is never wholly too late, not for anyone. Aaravos just doesn’t know it yet - but Callum will be sure to show him, by S7 at the very least if not sooner.

I think I need to know everything you have on Lord Felix lol

everything…. OH WELL UR WISH IS MY COMMAND HAVE LORE DUMP‼️

Ik you asked for Felix himself but his lore tangles with another oc of mine, Kaiden, so you get a lil bit of her lore too ✨

(uh tw mentions of death? And torture? And brutal murder? Js mentions tho not going into detail)

Felix BonaDea was a nobleman from the house of BonaDea, known for their healing magic. His mother, Gianna BonaDea, was human, and his other mother, Amaryllis, was a fairy. Now, for most of Nialon (the country this all takes place in), it's quite normal for humans and non-humans to make bebehs (lmao), but this rule does not apply to nobility. He did get everything he could want, including gender surgery (bc its MY WORLD and i say TRANS RIGHTS), as Gianna (and her husband Antonio) was not heartless. She also allowed Amaryllis a small secluded estate for her to live in. Despite this, Felix was shunned in life, and had no chance at being anything of utmost importance to... anyone, really. Or so he thought.

One day, he was walking through town (glamoured with a trick Amaryllis taught him), and stopped by a tavern popular for guards and guards-in-training. He met someone there who would make him feel less lonely, and that person was Kaiden Evania (WOOP WOOP *sitcom applause*), another alienated child shunned because of her curse. They got to chatting, and clicked immediately, pulling a prank on some bullies (>:3). Once Felix heard she was forced to be here in the capital, Vespar, because of the draft, he resolved to learn how to fight, so that she wouldn't feel lonely, as he always had. (His family let him btw they thought it’s good he’s doing smth with his life)(Amarillys did NOT agree but Felix convinced her to let him go)

The years went by, and despite Felix's nobility, he and Kaiden made an unstoppable team. They had succeeded in 'The Hunt', an annual challenge hosted by a different noble House every year. Afterward, both attended the Aquamarine Ball, which was an event where graduating guards would learn of their placement, be in the city, or a House, or the outskirts of town. While at the Ball, Felix and Kaiden were approached by Lloyd Santhuff, the leader of the Azari—a warrior unit that only take the best of the best. Lloyd was interested in the pair, and offered the both of them a place there. They accepted, and after a couple more years of training, were full-fledged Azari. They were put under the (relatively loose) command of Saffron, another fairy.

They took the Oath, which bound their souls together and let them think as if they were mere exensions of each other, but Felix thought it was bullshit and just for show. The pair (mostly Felix, to be fair) made close friends with their unit, and all was well.

They were good. The best, even. But then on one mission investigating the Nikasa, Felix and Kaiden were captured. After a few weeks of torture, Felix was brutally murdered and Kaiden rescued.

~~~

That should have been the end, right? Wrong. Felix now lives in Kaiden's brain, as the oath they had taken worked a little too well considering Kaiden's Deathless curse and Felix's enhanced half-fairy magic. He tries his best to help Kaiden through her grief, but it's a hard battle.

~~~~

phew hope that sated ur curiosity! And a little ps: Felix HATESSSSS being called “Lord” or anything like that, he finds it pretentious.

for the fic title game: Melt With You

oooooh okay so. edancy. restaurant au. nancy's a hostess-turned-manager, eddie's a line cook bc <3 line cook eddie <3 you know how long i've been a sucker for him lol. which means this ended up being insanely long LMAO

they've rarely had to interact bc of nancy always being front of house and eddie being in the kitchen. his first impression very much gave her Typical Line Cook vibes which she's just never had the time for. any time that she has had to interact with him, especially when she gets promoted and has to scold him over things she's overheard servers say he's been saying to them, he usually replies with some sarcastically Typical Line Cook comeback, but the head chef would rather set the whole kitchen ablaze than lose someone who works as well as eddie

anyway, one day there's a heatwave, insane even by midwest standards. and the ac is broken. it's basically a health hazard to have any kind of oven on in that kitchen, so the higher ups make the executive decision to close until the temperature cools or the ac gets fixed, whichever happens first. nancy's being diligent as always, making sure the restaurant is being left in good enough condition that they don't have to do much to get it ready next time it opens. she notices a kitchen door is propped open. not the ones the servers go through, it's one that leads from the other side of the bar - meaning it has a handle on it. nancy goes to kick it shut. she hears the "no, no, no!" coming from in the kitchen and steps in to investigate - to have the door close behind her just as she notices the inside handle has fallen off.

eddie and nancy argue back and forth for a while. why is he still here? nancy checked that everybody had clocked out so she knew she was the last one in the building. eddie wanted to do some last minute work in the kitchen to make sure he could pick up where he left off, but only decided he was going to do it after he clocked out and he was simply too lazy to clock back in. why did she not listen to his warning? why did nobody tell her the handle broke? who wants to be scolded when the weather already makes everyone feel like shit? stuff like that. nancy already bolted the server doors from the outside. so they're stuck.

anyway, the obvious thing to do is to call for help. there's a phone on the kitchen wall, thank god. except all the phone numbers are in the kitchen manager's office. which is locked. and nancy doesn't have her keys bc she didn't think she was gonna get locked in the kitchen. and of all the numbers she does have memorised, only one is another manager's landline, and they're not picking up, so she has no choice but to tell their answering machine that she and eddie are locked in and need help.

eddie eventually turns to cooling-down solutions like taking a bag of frozen peas and sticking it under his waistband. or rolling chilled bottles along his face. he offers nancy the opportunity to do so, too, and she turns her nose up, and at one point she goes to scold him for potentially defrosting the freezer room when he opens the door to it but then she stands in the doorway and it feels so good. so she lets it slide, even when eddie teases her about heeding his words over the rules

and eventually it just gets too hot to put all the effort into arguing. so they just kinda make small talk for a while. eddie learns that nancy's only so "uptight" because of the societal pressure put on her that's only fuelled more by her family. nancy learns that eddie's actually real passionate about his work, he just acts like a dick bc he too faces societal pressure as a result of his family, but he just leans into it rather than trying desperately to prove himself bc, well, why do they have to reap the rewards of his hard work if they're gonna talk shit about him anyway? and they start to realise that they're two sides of the same coin, really, and apologise to each other for misunderstanding each other

maybe there's a moment where even though they're both sweaty as hell they're like. about to kiss. but the manager nancy phoned finally gets to the restaurant and is able to free them. and the tension between them is PALPABLE. eddie even stops flirting with the servers, not necessarily bc he learned from nancy (though he did a little in terms of his work ethic) but also bc nancy's the only person he wants to flirt with now. and nancy doesn't want to find it charming, but she does start walking past the kitchen a little more frequently than she used to in the hopes that eddie's not so into his work that he can look up, see her there and make some passing comment for her to chime back to. the staff joke that they're not sure if they prefer this to them always being cold to each other. they play cat and mouse for a while until eddie bites the bullet and asks her out

#ask game #edancy #eddie x nancy #nancy x eddie #eddie munson x nancy wheeler #nancy wheeler x eddie munson #anna 💙

ok long text. it's about Enif. oh and Charles

SO!!! i have a lot of thoughts. Enif story has a lot of potential and i have so many ideas for her but it is kind of stressful trying to put it all into words AND not make it sound like an endless string of nonsense. but i hope this helps a little (also yes if you want to help me out with suggestions/criticism please do!)

after Enif fought Liz during that Last Ceremony, Enif ran away (obviously). although I always envisioned the ceremony to take place the night before the Nile’s Comet incident so that Enif would not have too much time to worry about Liz going around looking for her (bc she would be already dead) and go straight to processing the events and dealing(?) with trauma, it needs more explaining! so: i think Enif could have a childhood best friend (or even ex-boyfriend that ended up on good terms) who very conveniently is a cop by then (disclaimer: yeah i don’t really like cops, but this is for convenience so hear me out).

Enif goes to this childhood friend and asks for help. she’s in complete distress but still knows that she has to be very careful about what she says. she tells her friend that she discovered Liz had a cult she knew nothing about and they tried to drug and hurt her (explaining why she’s shaking and crying and covered in blood). this is true, Enif IS the victim on the whole thing, but she knows it’ll be tricky to continue with this narrative if they eventually discover her role in the cult (she hurt people, she was trained for it. one step wrong and she goes straight to jail for what she did. even if she was never willingly participating). she still urges her friend to go look at the scene. once they get there, the place is completely empty. the entire cult ran away. they even took the bodies of the members Enif killed as she fought her way out. this is both great and terrible: there’s no crime she’s tied to, BUT now she’s lacking evidence AND realizes Liz is on the run, out there, looking for her. still, the cop believes Enif. after all, a big element of Enif’s character is that she’s very lowkey when not in cult-mode, and since she only does heavy things when she’s under some influence, nobody ever suspects her of doing bad things, not even herself lmao. she stays with her friend. she doesn’t sleep that night. the following day she’s incredibly paranoid and she barely eats. this is the first time she’s dealing with knowing the truth, and all that information makes her very sick. the night comes and the Nile’s Comet thing happens. Liz Bane is found dead. Enif’s friend is sent to go look at the scene and help with the investigation. Enif wants to cooperate and see Liz’s body to convince herself that she’s dead. soon evidence proves that Liz was linked to the cult Enif talked about. still, a lot of evidence is either hidden (Liz was always prepared for any situation) or destroyed, but the cop confirms that Enif was indeed a victim of a cult, and that suffices for him to help her change her last name, cover up the case and keep it hidden from the press, and omit it from her record so that she’s not linked to the cult in the future (yaaay convenience!)

just as they are getting started with the paperwork of the incident that very same night, the klokateers appear at the police station (we know that in canon Dethklok has their own police force so i’m exploiting that). Enif is there too, they are done interrogating her and she’s resting in a room nearby. enter Charles Foster Offdensen. he doesn’t see Enif and Enif doesn’t see him, but she hears him clearly. this is their first unofficial encounter, yippee. Charles starts asking questions about the case and demands all the files to be given to him. Dethklok was directly involved so the case automatically becomes their jurisdiction and the cops can’t do shit about it lol. Enif’s friend tries hiding her file and her testimony but fails. Charles is given everything, but he assures the cops that the case will not go out to the press. it’s unnecessary and kind of embarrassing for management to realize that Pickles the Drummer was involved directly with a death cult that nearly killed the entire band and nobody noticed, so he gives his word on keeping this a secret. in the other room, Enif doesn’t know if she should feel relieved that this is going to be kept a secret or if she should be terrified of this man, Charles, who is essentially going to know and own her darkest secrets. the latter proves to be the stronger feeling, as she develops from that day a deep fear of Dethklok’s manager. she sometimes has nightmares of him hunting her down and making her confess all the horrible stuff she had to do in the cult. only time proves that she and Charles are bound to cross paths repeatedly during their lives. as allies, friends, and enemies. (i would add "lovers" too, but like in a tension-only way. they never act on it lmao)

so in summary yeah i’m adding a very convenient best-friend-who-is-a-cop to the story. he will also help explain why Enif has never faced consequences for being suspiciously involved in the death of the ex-members who have gone looking for her. yes i know this is shameless plot armor, but she essentially has a small degree of legal immunity bc she has a friend that knows a portion of what happened to her and feels sorry for her. i hope that’s not too much. and i really hope i will keep these conveniences very brief. that's all ty for reading i'm going insane!

#now i gotta think of a name for this guy #he's not going to appear more times or have a lore of his own or anything but i don't want to call him just “the friend”#also yes Charles and Enif got history !!! yippee #mtl oc #enif cordero #long text sorry #clade oc #metalocalypse oc

1, 4, 6 and 14 for takizawa!

Tysm for this, this entire reply is going to pretty much just be Takizawa because he is my poor little meow meow!

1. (Hands you a free card to ramble about whatever for your favorite character/ship)

Toss up between hidekane and seiakimon but I’m gonna go with seiakimon bc there are So Many Thoughts with these three. Akira and her two ghoul boyfriends

Obviously Takizawa need So Much Therapy before any romance stuff can happen so we’re gonna assume he’s been getting the help he needs for this (and so have Akira and Amon honestly, they’re not completely insane but they’ve got problems too).

SEIAKIMON COULD HAVE BEEN SO SO GOOD.

Taki was the only one who truly saw Akira as Akira. People in the academy chalked up her success to the fact that both her parents were investigators and didn’t acknowledge the work she herself put in. Everyone saw her as a product of her parents except Takizawa. He competed with her, not her parents and that’s why Akira liked him. He saw her as a bitch because he was jealous of her natural talent and how she often got more opportunities than him in the CCG, she got to go on missions while he was stuck in the office even though they were equally talented. And don’t even get me started on them only ever seeing each other from the side and the first time they truly look straight at each other is when Akira throws away her life career to protect Taki and lays her heart bare to him, telling him about how she tried to live up to everyone’s expectations but failed and how she never stopped thinking about him, wondering if she had just stopped him at the Owl Execution Operation. That shit hurted.

Of course we’ve also got the canon Akira and Amon, they work alright but need some more development. I really think Ishida has no clue how to write romance, every single one just comes out of left field, most prominently Yoriko and Takeomi. “Hey, haven’t seen you in a long time, nice to see you again. Anyway, you make good bread, wanna get married?” ????????

And with the right development, Amon and Taki would work well too. Amon’s closeted bi ass learning that it’s okay to be queer (thanks Donato for instilling religious trauma into this himbo /s).

In conclusion: Akira has two hands.

4. What character do you (the asker) remind me of?

I don’t really know why but Mutsuki kinda! No idea what my brain is doing at any moment in time

6. What’s your favorite piece of TG fan content you’ve made?

Hmm, I haven’t made much recently do NOT ask about my 2015 era art lmfao but I’d have to say this meme, it just fits the dude so well lmao

He's a little silly.

14. Song you associate with (character/ship)

Oh dear here we go.

So Mother Mother makes some AMAZING songs and I could write an essay on how every song in Oh My <3 fits him, but besides that, I think Control by Halsey fits Takizawa quite well!

“They send me away to find them a fortune” getting sent to fight and kill the Owl

“I sat alone, in bed till the morning I'm crying, "They're coming for me"” being scared outta his wits and writing “I DON’T WANT TO DIE” on his will

“I paced around for hours on empty I jumped at the slightest of sounds” post Kano trauma

“I'm well acquainted with villains that live in my head” listening and giving into his ghoul side

“And all the kids cried out, "Please stop, you're scaring me" I can't help this awful energy God damn right, you should be scared of me Who is in control?” Taking control over his own life and becoming a terrifying monster of a ghoul and killing Tatara while his former coworkers watch on in fear.

Gasoline works really well too!

dgm 247 thoughts: (with spoilers and pictures)

(from a French fantranslation, at this date i do not have any English translation to link to)

-For so long there were speculations about Mana dying out of an accident but the confirmation he died out of becoming weaker and weaker after Allen attacked him is... actually quite horrible. He literally died in Allen’s arms while they were snuggling together this is the worst thing ever.

-Kanda’s “hey let’s go to Mana’s grave i want to check if he’s really dead” iS SO. IT’S SO. LIKE OF COURSE ALLEN LOOKS FUCKED UP ABOUT IT.

It’s so insensitive but can’t blame him when 1) he’s fresh from having seen someone he was SURE he had killed being alive actually, 2) we know Mana is technically Alive.

but still the absolute DREAD of this moment, never change Kanda

-ABSOLUTELY LOVE that they started fighting right afterward, Allen shared the most traumatic moments of his life with Kanda in a rare moment of vulnerability and it ends with the two of them beating each other up

-oghhhh Kanda literally talking about Alma and saying how he can’t believe Mana is dead for sure until he checked because of how traumatizing it was to see Alma was actually alive, end me

-”I believe that due to the circumstances it’s possible Mana is what we refered as the Grey Zone of the war” oh my god Kanda

-Oghh the art is as stunning as ever but i’m genuinely emo over some Mana panels and Allen’s too

Mana looks so tender here

HE’S SO PRETTY HE’S SO PRETTY

also “i understand, now i’m bringing you all into all of this” HE’S NO LONGER THINKING ABOUT CARRYING IT ALL ALONE, a MOMENT OF JOY FOR THIS

-Allen’s set up the Grey Zone officially now, and while Kanda was always ready for it and Johnny too, i’m so touched Tiedoll just nods along and say “yeah ofc i’m joining i need to watch over you younglings” i’m so emo i’m so emo i’m so emo

-LINK

-OH MY GOD LINK?????????,

-I LOVE how Kanda introduces him like “i need you to meet this bastard dog first”, you can really feel the moment from Allen going “seriously i just told you i was named after a dog and you-” bUT THEN

BUT THEEEEEEEEEN

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

NOW ALLEN KNOWS LINK IS ALIVE AT LEAST

-ALLEN HUGGING LINK BC HE MISSED HIM AND WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT HIM IM FULL BLOWN CRYING

-also “i looked at Link’s face and now i’m hungry” ALLEN.

-God it’s so exciting to see the “Grey Zone” in place now, and to see Allen actually discuss everything he knows with them. I’m genuinely going to cry just seeing them in circle discussing it AND THE FACT LINK JOINED THEM........

-And now Link knows that Apocryphos killed him, not like he remembered since Apo erased his memories. that’s exiciting, this might change his opinions on his side as well godd.

-Link 🤝 Kanda “Us? in danger from Apocryphos? you mean it’s Apocryphos who’s in danger fROM US. WE’LL FUCK HIM UP” Johnny: you both almost got killed by him though. Link&Kanda: HEY NOW.

-oh they’re splitting :( Tiedoll and Kanda going back at the Order to investigate from the inside...

-... And Allen, in a rare moment of actually relying on others, actually asked Johnny to accompany him to the Campbell Mansion because only Johnny could bring him back to reality when Nea tried to erase him...

i’m so fucking emo 😭😭

-KANDA THIS EXPRESSION IS SO SCARY

-”The Crow who became a pervert, apparently? what’s your goal” WHAT DO YOU MEAN PERVERT

EDIT:

THANKS ENGLISH TRANSLATION IT MAKES MORE SENSE NOW

-LINK????????????? WELL AT LEAST LINK ISNT HIDING ANYTHING FROM THE GROUP BUT LMAO THAT HE SHOWS IT LIKE THAT????

-so yeah Link is actually super honest? he tells Allen downright why he’s here, that Lveille assigned him this mission, and that when Allen disappears he will help the 14th. like holy shit man decided i’m no longer hiding anything from Allen ever.

-ok true downside this time wtf Link why are you talking about wanting to “save Lveille” from himself and his own hatred, Link, Link look at me, no need to develop a Savior Complex Link, not for him, he’s not worth it. Focus on your Crow family please my sweetheart.

-Also wow this chapter is making me like Link a hundred times more than i ever did before, i always had a bit of a mixed feeling regarding him (that wasn’t helped by seeing fandom opinions of him tbh but that’s bc i’m super contrarian) but this chapter’s characterization of Link is... genuinely not what i would come to expect of him but also i love it??? am i genuinely starting to love Link now??? after all these years????

-ALLEN WHY

-So now they’re set in motion. Kanda and Tiedoll go back to the Order to investigate it from the inside. Allen, Link and Johnny are all headed to the Campbell Mansion to meet Katerina and get answers (so we WILL actually kick off the Bookman thingy here)

-Their goal: discovering the mysteries under this holy war once and for all Kanda and Tiedoll will try to search infos about Apocryphos as well as finding Mana’s grave and see if he’s still in his grave

-They’re OFFICIALLY setting a Grey Zone. for how long the manga has been hinting that the true answer would be in the Grey, we’re finally going into it holy shit

Conclusion: first chapter since we left the flashback, first chapter since we see the gang back together, and yet this works SO WELL. Returning to all of those dynamics are SO worth it, i missed seeing them so much, and now my blood is pumping!!! i love all that’s hinted here!!! oh my god!!!

I’m so happy with this chapter and for once in a very long time i’m VERY looking forward where it’s going

also now that Allen knows Link is alive and we know Link will travel with him: DOES THAT MEAN WE’RE OFFICIALLY GETTING CLOSER TO THAT ONE LEAK

INCREDIBLE CHAPTER MOMENT LETS GOOOO

Can we get some trivia for violinist!mc , like was she the secretly popular at school but doesn't recognise/ doesn't care about it, whats her favorite food that she mix and match from the konbini? 🥺 or is it too early for that? she sounds so precious just from the 3 posts

yes ofcccc you can get some trivia <3

it's funny you ask whether or not violinmc was popular in school bc i wrote about this exact thing in reo's POV about the time he was trying to figure out more about nagi (bllk episode nagi) but finds out that nagi is lowkey the school cryptid LMAO

It seemed inescapable, how your name would always come up in conjunction with Nagi's. Nobody knew much about Nagi, but you were somewhat of an infamous figure within the school. Popular opinion was divided. You had spoken up about some male teacher’s overly touchy ways, which prompted several other girls to speak up. An investigation was opened. He was quietly fired. Some female students admired you for your outspoken ways, while others thought you too bold. Male students steered clear of you after you had curtly turned down a confession of a well liked athlete, irritated that it had cut into violin practice. You were well regarded in the drama department, garnering fans from the few performances the school had forced you to do during the school's culture festival.

people definitely thought violinmc and nagi were dating in hs but also thought it was crazy because violinmc was considered out of his league LMAO also ppl think violinmc is kinda intimidating bc she very easily defaults into defensiveness but if that's just an act. violinmc gets hurt very easily!!!!

violin!mc gets a lot of bentos and onigiri from the konbini! sometimes she adds a iced coffee or a pocari sweat. she doesn't really cook that often and it's just easier to buy premade meals than to cook since cooking takes time away from practice. it wasn't until she met nagi that she started getting more snacks like jagariko or toppo or even some bread. i feel like she unconsciously adopts some of nagi's tastes in sweets. i'd imagine that they eat dinner together a lot. well, it's more like eating dinner at the same table. nagi is playing a game on his phone and she's looking over some sheet music, but they're doing it together and that's what counts ig 😭

violin!mc is not good at studying. nagi is a horrible tutor. every year she barely managed to pass enough to keep her scholarship but she did it! somehow. nagi would always accompany her in the library though while unhelpfully pointing out things that did not help 💀

before she met nagi when she needed a change of pace she would go to the riverbank near her house and sit on the bench overlooking the river. she would just sit and listen to her previous performances while watching the kids play soccer. after meeting nagi she just goes to his house next door and watches him play games LOL

#what is [character's] to go order from the konbini is SUCH a good question i actually love that #violin!mc and nagi definitely have a lowkey relationship = just quiet time spent together no words needed #bllk

OI!

4. A character you rarely talk about?

9. Would you ever be willing to give any of your OCs to someone else?

11. Is there any OC of yours you could describe as a "sunshine"?

12. Name an OC that isn't yours but who you like a lot

29. Which one of your OCs would go investigate an abandoned house at night without telling anyone they're going?

30. Which one of your OCs would most likely have a secret stuffed animal collection?

Apologies for the large amount, I just adore your ocs xD

AWRIGHT THERE PAL NICE TO SEE YA AGAIN

I am so glad that you like my OCs bc I also adore yours, they are amazing 🙏🙏🙏

This ended up super long sorry so I’ll put it under a read more

4. A character you rarely talk about?

I’m going to use this opportunity to talk about my latest OC who I’ve literally never talked about other than a single sketch I dropped. He has no official name yet (I’ve been calling him Monty lmao) but he’s a Pthumerian that came to Yharnam as part of the excursions into the underground labyrinths. He came willingly and with ease, following the scholars and prospectors who were of course eager to learn about him. His reasoning? Boredom and curiosity, essentially. He’s always been the inquisitive sort of person and loves to learn. What better way to do that than willingly reach the surface? Unfortunately, this doesn’t go too well for him and he ends up half-naked chasing innocent citizens around with a sack- the total opposite of his initial reason for his excursion. He was happy until he wasn’t. Damn the Church and Mensis! Poor Monty.

His sister is also a Bell Ringing Lady and they don’t get on too well, and he wasn’t too keen when she decided to follow suit and leave with him. However, he does care for her and tried to persuade her so stay behind. Of course, the Pthumerians were ‘encouraged’ to go with the tomb prospectors so they didn’t really have much of a choice in the matter.

His worst trait? Pretending that he doesn’t understand the Yharnam language so he doesn’t have to talk to people if he’s not in the mood. On the contrary, he speaks and understands the language fluently. I pity the scholars that tried to speak to him on a bad day lmao

9. Would you ever be willing to give any of your OCs to someone else?

Unfortunately, no. I’ve been in fandom for far too long and seen so many bastardisations of characters and I wouldn’t like my OCs to suffer the same fate. However, I am a sucker for plotting stuff with mutuals etc. and I think that’s the best way

11. Is there any OC of yours you could describe as a "sunshine"?

Honestly, the only one I could describe as a ‘sunshine’ is Aoife. She’s literally just a total ray of sunshine with mostly everyone that she meets and is definitely the glue that holds the band of Cleanrots together. She does have her murderous traits of course but they don’t hold any malice behind them; she does her job, and she does it efficiently. Outside of that? The loveliest person ever.

12. Name an OC that isn't yours but who you like a lot

Okay I can’t just name a single OC, I need to appreciate my mutuals’ 10/10 OCs properly.

I love your character Elizabeth and I’m extremely excited to see how her story develops in Stolen but mostly in Scarlet Butterflies, of course. She just seems like such a good person and the type of individual you’d love to be your friend.

@smoughenthusiast ‘s OC Felix is a dickhead but I can’t help but love the lad. He is indeed a murderous cleric but it’s impossible to despise him. I also adore Mathilda and her ways. I support her wholeheartedly 🙏❤️

@gehrmansbignaturals ‘s OC Phobos is also amazing and I love her lore and interactions with the world that she’s in. Her design is also lovely and her relationships with characters are so intricate and well developed.

29. Which one of your OCs would go investigate an abandoned house at night without telling anyone they're going?

Oh god, probably all of them for different reasons. Freyja is naturally curious and also prefers to travel alone if she can so she’d definitely disappear during the night, explore for a bit and then return as if nothing happened. If he was interested, Phulgrax would stroll into the abandoned house with full confidence and zero regard for any spirits that are potentially haunting the property. He has absolutely zero fear and just assumes that he’s stronger than literally everything. Braith is sly about it, and would only go if there was something inside that she wanted. Treasure for her to sell would be the easiest way, and of course she must travel at night and not tell anyone lest she gets in trouble. Out of my Gilded Rot crew, definitely Bastian or Lithrion. They’re both exceptionally gifted in the art of stealth and you probably wouldn’t even notice that they’re gone. Bastien is curious and enjoys exploring whereas Lithrion would be looking for potential dangers that could be lurking inside.

30. Which one of your OCs would most likely have a secret stuffed animal collection?

I think the only characters I could see with stuffed animal toys would be Aoife and potentially Finlay (her childhood runebear teddy of course). However, Braith absolutely has taxidermy animals scattered around her living quarters so I guess that also counts… as morbid as it is.

I do also think my Pthumerian took a liking to a soft toy sheep in the window of a toy shop in Yharnam and took it with him because of it. He’s totally unaware of it being an odd thing for a 9 foot tall man to keep but he adores it nonetheless.

#thank you so much for the asks!!!!!#sorry this took so long 💀💀💀#robbie’s original characters #asks

DBD episode rewatch: EP 3!!!

yadayada, autofill, no proofreading we die like Maxine

I never realized that last ep was the first time Crystal learned about the rules of who can see dead people

WAIT EDWIN SAID IT WAS DANGEROUS okay watching these recaps IS helpful bc CK literally *knew* Edwin would be in danger in the town and therefore forced to comply with him, and pressured to get it over with quickly. Fuck him.

MONTY

these ghosts have a lot of issues

I bet that foot is one of Angie's crumbs

Dorian Gray

tbh for a while I thought that since the image thing is "low magic" then it must have been the wraith who cursed the tape. at sind point I abandoned that but I don't remember why...

I really think Charles likes Crystal for reals bc until this episode she had not shown interest in him and has in fact declined his advances, so when he says "your case is still our favorite" it that voice, it isn't as if he thinks she 'needs' a man, like his people-pleaser self would have given up days ago were he not the one interested. Nobody here is really giving him pressure or advice regarding Crystal like they do in some media depicting a certain comphet boy, and even if they were, Charles has thus far given no indication that his flirting is part of his fucked up mediation tactic coping mechanism. I don't really see the reasoning behind denying his feelings for Crystal even if she isn't the only one, but I do see him all smiley around her. IDK that's just where I'm at for the moment but feel free to correct me in the askbox, and I might write something more articulate later if I feels like it.

Where do I recognize the actor of this ghost woman Susan???

If Susan inherented the house, either the wife owned it or the husband had no living family. I bet these girls didn't have any grandparents whose house they could hide out at, only the aunt.

do we ever see Susan move on?

she must have saved those coins to get herself something nice. she never got to spend it the way she intended.

OH. he feels better after exploding. he had to get it all out. OH

Also, tangibility rule loredrop!! I wonder if they can touch water to wash ask the shit out. presumably so, as his ghostly body appears to retain moisture based on the contents of his skull.

Crystal is trying a very straightforward approach to clearing the air.

she assumes he'd be 'fun'. like that is a pretty specific word. Like. she's put thought into that.

WHY DOES HE SAY THAT LIKE AN INVITATION

Edwin doesn't want to provide third party "conjecture", as in a baseless opinion. He won't weigh in until he's *been involved* with one of them(Charles). haha okay I'm done. But he definitely IS giving an opinion, so he was lying.

Of course you're going Niko, you're cool as hell

I want to know her top three favorite public buildings to visit

I like that she compulsively grabs the colormatched coat

Does he even register the jealousy comment? All I see is his tounge in his teeth and the collar pop. We know it's red, man.

was that a howl??

she is so DONE with that joke

where'd all that wind go whenever the other two leave the library?

So Jenny "documentaries" Green is all of a sudden weirded out and scared when it's her own town.

I like that his woman outfit matches his usual outfit

HYSTERIA mention number TWO!

and she fires right back with calling him gay. I mean, she's right.

Has Niko had a crush who lined someone else before, it is she talking about her gay manga?

Die Edwin think that Niko means Crystal instead of Charles? DOES SHE MEAN THAT!?

I mean if Edwin thinks she's talking about Crystal, no wonder he was so confused. they argue a lot.

Niko is so off-task but Edwin is watching the desk LMAO

"look what happens when you get married" you're so right Maxine. Cleaning up must be so difficult.

Maxine is so frickin cute

of COURSE this is when they introduce her. Nobody just "snaps" there's always a pattern. anyways, I'm not sure what the point of this comment is lol..

Investigators are baffled. gossipers are inventing *reasons* for him to snap. the truth practically buries itself.

"It's bad for my health"

why is esther so willing to give info??

I like how Jenny cocks her head. she is LISTENING. she's curious

NO WIND. Well, no wind at the Butcher's either. weird.

MONTY. I may be aroace but I would have kissed him right then /jk

he's so fucking adorable

I wonder if the coma thing is actually true. Like up till now I have assumed that Monty's proximity to Esther counted as a 'supernatural experience' that allowed him to see ghosts, or that he could because he isn't human. But what if Esther rehabilitated him after hitting him with her car (we already know how badly she drives) because she loves birds, and that's when she took him in as a familiar? Anyways, mother issue angst writers, eat up.

I love the little hand thing he does when he counts the cats

Niko wants him to get laid so fucking badly.

she said "he could fix him"

I think she wants Monty to explain what being with a ghost is like. /half joking

bro tf you mean "enjoys ghosts"? enjoys then how? where?

Also, being a man of science and not believing astrology is so fucking funny if you're a literal ghost who knows that he'll and the grim reaper are real. for all you know some girl is making cute little star patterns to magically control you.

the LEAN

"I have a strict reputation" of being an asshole? you're supposed to be the guy who makes clients matter, what's wrong with your boyfriend knowing you can be nice?

I fuckin love the Notary <2 I'm a whore for specificity.

those handmaidens just fuckin stand there, don't they. what is their job, exactly?? Also, working in an office building on the same assignment as my sister sounds like hell, why would they agree to that.

there's something to be said about nobody knowing what to do for decades, then the pros show up with less than a 12 hr deadline.

Edwin. listen to him.

why have the people across the street not move out after hearing that fucking song every day??

they are all wearing jackets. inside their own house.

I think the glare of the glasses helps disguise the direction Brandon is looking, but it also makes the wife(who's name I forget) eyes look whited out lmao.

the older sister guarding the younger one is soo

the younger one reminds me of Prim Everdeen. also carrying that rabbit thing at age like, thirteen, is so real.

nice use of closure, showing us the bloody stuffed bunny.

the way the girls sit still before it happens

why does the music work but the TV is static?

Has Charles said that 'sit there and watch' line twice? hold on lemme rewind (get it? like a tape?)

nvm he said a different thing the first time.

Edwin tries to stop Crystal from leaving??

Did nobody see Crystal go in earlier? no Ring camera?

Tell him Crystal. your trauma is valid!

the Prim girl asks her mom to be the one to talk to Brandon

aw that stressed and scared girl

slightly different angle, you can see his eyes this time.

is the axe fake? are those lights fake? do non-psycics see the lights turn on??

her Tounge&Tails shirt!!

They are NOT shy about the gender themes in this episode!

ofc he knows The Shining as a movie.

wait the clock got left in the house and it still works but not in a ghost way like the rest of the house, but rather tells the real time? is that what's going on??

side note: I love the aesthetic choice of not showing us the mother's death sound, but giving us four seconds of her face after dying but before falling

And during the thunder, there's a weird color filter. interesting.

I'm sure y'all don't need me to explain Charles' face

why the nose wipe?

oh wait the living (well) room has symmetrical decorations

Her heart necklace kind of reminds me of the Light of Heart (I've got Thoughts on that artifact too, but those are for later)

I love all the color choices and lighting stuff in this episode!!

fish eye shots??

Ed's at the head of the table, a seat that, according to my family members, traditionally belongs to the chef. Then again, he may just as well be at the opposite end, I don't know what the difference is.

sorry for the out of order notes, I have been going back and forth a little bit.

LITTY AND KINGHAM!! the real brotp!

why did she SHUFFLE like that??

HER HAIR? Y'ALL DID THAT!

wait who told those two about the house?

it must be so hard for them, being stuck in the dark. not being able to make choices. No, YOU'RE making it about Monty.

This house is so nice wtf?? I bet their attic is furnished.

Are those degrees on the wall?

I wonder what is the significance of only Crystal hearing the Wraith? What makes her different than those two?

A PINK BOOK WITH IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Hope must be the older one because she mentís graduating high school in her diary. if that is her room, that means her mom's nightstand held the acceptance letter. Her mom was protecting her. She even played dumb when her husband was holding an axe. holy fuck I will cry

eggshell line! important because parallels!

honestly they get Charles' relationship with his dad so close to comic canon in this series, even with all the changes.

ooh it's 11:11 irl rn!! make a wish!

someone better than me at face expressions explain what's going on before Brandon shoots himself bc he is unreadable to me.

it's all about control with him. they can't leave him because he wants to control them.

MUSIC

Is Litty wearing ballet flats??

you didn't "almost die". these two freaks damn near killed you! why did Niko never confront them about that??

what is she grabbing from the kitchen?

circle thingy again.

wait I just saw the butterfly thingy over her closet, a symbol of transformation. Also, she has a lot of striped clothing. especially blue and horizontal.

is she growing grass in a pot?? WAIT THERE'S A NIGHTLIGHT UNDER THAT TABLE aww

what is that weird skinny door?

that is an odd place for a toaster

why does the sprites' dead flower look healthier now?? it's DEAD

wait he says Bye back even though she left aww. and look at Litty's little facceee. They actualy miss her. I'm sad for them even though they are so mean :(((

doing all of what by yourself? manipulating Niko somehow? Also these two have Issues and are taking out their anger on eachother the moment any third party leaves the room. they're so siblings.

Edwin SOUNDS like he means 'what's ur deal bruh', but listen to his voice when he says "you're not yourself at all" he is worried for Charles :((

Do you think Charles ever thought about doing that to his own father?

getting yourself stuck in the loop doesn't change the result. reacting to the cycle can't break it. what the fuck. holy crap. this show is kinda heavy.

this room makes no sense. what is that random glass door? which wall could that possibly be on??

and now Crystal brings up the cat king cagey-ness. or maybe she just had an ingrained mistrust in people. fuck, I'm sad now.

yayy for getting back in track!

doesn't Charles still have the bag??

IS IT POSSIBLE FOR A POCKET UNIVERSE TO GET STUCK IN A LOOP?? OR A DOORWAY TO ONE?

do you think the wife knew about the secret room?

most unrealistic part of this show is that the recording that creates the loop still works. the VCR or the tape should have broken after the first time it went round.

WE could lose Charles. DAMN STRAIGHT EDDIE! W E. U S. he is learning to be a team player.

that's a weirdass lamp behind Edwin

why does it Look Like That

I love how Crystal and Edwin both said "damn it" when they realized it was David. They're so in sync.

what happy thoughts do y'all think she was thinking?

David's dialogue is so fucking funny.

Also I love that Crystal has just a little but very obvious 21st century-specific vocabulary. things like body count to mean sex not killings, and fuckboy. it adds to the fact that these characters are all from different times, different cultures and have to figure out how to communicate to eachother.

OH there's another hint here about Crystal's old personality. David thinks that he being noble is boring and that she used to be fun aka like him. actually, that kinda reminds me about what Shelby said in a later episode.

Go off, Edwin!

If Brandon was moving that bigass thing every time he went in, his wife HAD to know.

wait do any of y'all SEE the actual cameras?? DID THE POLICE EVER SEE THEM!? even if they never find the room, this cameras are physical evidence of what happened. they are "confounded" that he "suddenly" did something awful? no, they didn't care to look into it! fuck them, the deaths themselves weren't witch-related so any human had the ability to find this cameras, but nobody fucking looked.

Brandon looks like he is running away from Charles.

aww Edwinnn

aww Niko

AWW CHARLES

so if she already knew to get that lid as soon as she stood up, she must have already looked it up beforehand. That's cool of her.

So I originally thought that "the sitting duck" referred to the dead duck Jenny was selling in the window, but maybe it refers to Charles not interfering with the whole thing.

some ppl are sweeping the sidewalk :) how nice

what exactly IS the "die and go seek" maneuver?

no curb, but the cement planters protect the sidewalk from cars parking onto it. Both of those things probably make the sidewalk pretty well wheelchair accessible now I think about it. no searching for curb cuts, no going into the road Brevard if an obscured pathway!

though personally, I'd like to see some benches. maybe not here, as they'd get in the way of the sidewalk, but walking that far always hurts my feet.

Crystal totally checks out Monty XD

what are those posters on the tree? and that cardboard in the alley?

EDWIN'S FUCKIGN EXPRESSION

"I was polite, wasn't I?" "Yeah, you did good" <- ESSAY MATERIAL

phone number=reach him whenever Esther wants?

guys what does it mean when Venus is in the fifth house? I googled it once and every result was drastically different!

hey I'm thinking about the green outfit rn. if the green doesn't actualy mean emotional stability, does it mean fear? like, Niko was afraid of the house, then she was afraid of losing her friends. Mick wanted the red glass bc he was afraid of being stuck as a man.

wait the fakey shake shack sells booze?

who gives a shit what the cat king thinks

what is Esther even doing?

like she sounds so fucking surprised. if your little spy is there already why do you need to double spy on the spy?

funky perspective

SYMMETRY

WINDOW!?

WHY THE FUCK IS THERE A WINDOW

what are those doors? why are there elevators in there??

five days:

poor robyn being the only one on the maternity ward without a baby with her :(

she reveals she's named her charlotte, charlie for short, which is funny bc i don't remember anyone ever once calling her charlie after these first few episodes

robyn's a little bit in denial as to how charlotte's not out of the woods yet

cal kept treating a dying elderly woman against the daughter's wishes so he failed to give her a peaceful death😬

ah jonathan barling the paeds consultant, he appears a few times in 2018 right? he and/or his wife suffer burns from trying to jump-start a car iirc? and i think he also treated kiegan carr

he's saying that charlotte possibly has an infection. makes sense right i mean she was born prematurely on the floor in a graveyard in the rain. this makes me think how bodhi was also born prematurely (well, we just have to take their word for it lol), on the floor in the woods in december, but he's sent home almost immediately only to come back in with pneumonia a week later😭😭

cal called the daughter in to try and speak to her because he was worried she'd make a complain, and i don't think she was going to make one but she certainly is now! soo perhaps trying to act like sam isn't the best idea?

david's on the psych ward but called nicu to enquire about charlotte and now robyn's trying to find him while charlie and duffy try to stop her😬

robyn pushing charlie over lol

again, amanda henderson is incredible

duffy inviting robyn and charlotte to go live with them to get settled and have some support🥺

mr barling's office looks exactly like the room grace was in, funny that

aw robyn calling connie for support

oop duffy thought she didn't have to ask charlie about asking robyn to move in beforehand because she assumed he would be all for it but he doesn't appear to be...

the woman who made the complaint came back drunk and with a dislocated shoulder and she possibly accidentally revealed to cal that she helped her mum to die so now he's investigating but sam doesn't approve and tells him to stay away and occupy himself with some nurse who showed an interest in him

cal's gone to that woman's house?? funny how she lives in the exact same house that many people who find themselves in the hospital do. idk why i'm noticing the reused sets and locations more than usual in this ep

OH LMAO i forgot the woman neeve's story "i ruined her life" "we all have guilt about our parents somehow" "no i'm adopted. i went looking for my birth mum but i was just really stupid, clumsy, hurtful, and i just broke poor miriam's heart. we didn't speak for years, and then when i came back and found her dying... now i just miss her beautiful soul" bit close to home for cal lol "i went to look for my birth mum too" "so the wounded find each other"

see cal cares too much to succeed at being like sam

max showing robyn the nursery he decorated for charlotte🥺🥺

oop jez and louise accidentally interrupt their heart to heart😭😭

"if she lives or dies, i can't face any of it" "great, so you're doing what your mum did to you?" "don't you dare" "no, come on, she left you when you needed her most and you said that hurt goes on and on, and now you little girl is fighting for her life and you're doing exactly the same thing to her"

charlotte's got a lot of necrotic tissue

she has to have a temporary stoma

"neeve, you spent your whole life not knowing why the mother that carried you gave you away. i know what that does. of course you went looking. sometimes we get stuff wrong." :(

"so the wounded heal each other, eh?"🥺🥺

sam tells cal that he doesn't have to worry about neeve's complaint because she's "obviously slightly bonkers" and doesn't listen to him trying to say that he's already sorted it, and he tells him that he completely ignored his advice and cal says he acted on pure instinct and sam goes "instinct and audacity. all well and fine in the chaos department but reckless line crossing? sorry no room for that in surgery." don't listen to him cal you don't need to be a surgeon anyway!

aww charlotte's waking up and fighting the tube🥺🥺

charlie's decided he does want robyn to come live with them after all

aw robyn hugging mr barling sksjkjdf

only 3 episodes left before reap the whirlwind😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

#classic casualty #five days
