Welcome to another episode of "One of your comments triggered an Eternal Diva Fun Fact"!
We do cannonically know where the notebook came from, just not from the movie, but from the thing itself, because the notebook was made into merchandise for the movie!
The first page has a dedication from Layton to Luke so you guessed right, it is a gift from the LSO to the boy :D
Oooooh that's really neat!!! Thank you for the fun fact!! Did the dedication say something specific or was it something generic like "for my best apprentice, may your puzzles be solved and your picarats abundant"?
Anyway, that's really cool, the attention to detail and all! I didn't know they made merchandise of the movie, and the notebook of all things!
You also mentioned this name, a Layton... Now, I don't know who that is, but it seems he is very fond of Luke. Who wouldn't! That's a really sweet gesture!!
#thank you very much for the fun fact!!!#magpie ask#now the LSO. that i know.#who would've thought the merchandise implies an off-screen (?) event!!#professor layton

The first Heron design I showed off was from before Confidential Casefiles, so I thought I’d show you guys her look after she gets her new arm. Plus a few changes I made to her character for this AU! Just realised the way I placed my signature makes it look like I’M her worst enemy, whoops.
Meet the Cast!

STUDENTS OF NRC:
WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT LISTEN TO HER MELODY. SHE IS TRYING TO LURE YOU TO HER. DO NOT GIVE INTO TEMPTATION.
SHIELD YOUR EARS. GUARD YOUR MINDS. SHE IS NOT HERSELF.
AVOID ANY INDIVIDUALS WITH A HYPNOTIZED GAZE, AND ESPECIALLY AVOID AREAS WHERE HER SONG IS HIGH IN VOLUME.
DO NOT LET HER CATCH YOU, SHE HAS NOT BEEN MERCIFUL THUS FAR.
GOOD LUCK, AND BE SAFE, STUDENTS.
"E-eh..? What- what's happening..? Ah-! Okay okay- 'shielding' my ears..."
Kiyuu had been walking down the halls, but had paused to cover their ears as soon as the announcement was made, not leaving anything up to chance by hesitating. Looking left and right, there were many people around who'd failed to react in time, with glazed over eyes, moving in one direction as if on autopilot. Hypnotized, no doubt.
' I have to get out of here. Covering my ears isn't doing enough to filter out the beautiful melody. '
Turning in the opposite direction, they began to move. They didn't know where exactly the song was coming from, but no matter where they went, it didn't seem to get any quieter. They pushed harder down over their ears, refusing to fall to the hypnosis. Then, they heard a voice call out to them, laced with urgency.
"--yuu- Kiyuu! Kiki! Over here!"
They heard Crimson shout out faintly through their blocked ears. They practically ran towards him, heaving breaths through their lungs, both out of tiredness, and a hidden layer of anxiety.
"Crimson! Are you alright?! Do- do you know what all of this is about?"
Crimson grimaced, and Kiyuu's heart sunk in return.
' I have a really bad feeling about this... Something about what's happening is making me feel really uneasy... '
"Don't worry Kiki, I'm alright. It's... It's another overblot. From the shouts I've deciphered, the victim seems to be someone called Calypso, I believe."
' ...Oh. That's what it was. '
"C-Calypso?! Oh- oh god... s-seven's- i mean...!"
They managed to stutter out, barely able to hear themselves over their hammering heartbeat and short breaths. Hearing that the victim was Calypso out of everyone made their heart stop.
' Overblots are a rare phenomenon. They can cost lives. Most commonly, cost lives.
Calypso could die. There's a chance that I'll never see Calypso ever again. '
"Oh- Oh. Is- she a friend of yours, then..?"
"She- she's- oh god I can't- Crimson- I have to- I have to help her. I have to see her again-!"
"Shh, dear- calm down. Breathe with me, slowly now. The announcement says that the goal of the hypnosis is to lure people to her. To go willingly is... Well, without a plan, it's dangerous. Are you sure you want to..?"
Kiyuu took a few moments of silence to level out their breathing, in an attempt to calm down. They knew they could refuse, guarantee their own safety and peace by running away right now. But they couldn't do that. They were buzzing with nervous energy, a burning desire to chase after Calypso, to help her, to save her.
They ignored the voice in their head telling them how useless they were, telling them that there was no point even trying without magic.
' No. I will see Calypso again. Alive. '
"I- I know it's dangerous- but- I- I don't care. I don't. I- I have to see her. I- I have to at least try to help her- And I- I'll figure out a plan if- if I have to- I just- I- If- if she dies then- then- I-"
"...Hey- hey! You don't have to defend yourself, Kiki. It's okay. Everything will be okay, alright? I- I won't stop you. However- I- must request to accompany you. I'll be too worried about you otherwise. ...Please let me come with you."
Kiyuu's mouth snapped shut, and they took a breath, readjusting their hands over their ears as they hesitated, before nodding quickly.
"Okay. Alright. Thank you, Kiki. Just- follow my lead. Right, now... the source should be..."
Crimson trailed off, before beginning to wander in a certain direction, glancing back to make sure Kiyuu was following, then continuing down the hall.
' I refuse to let my lack of magic stop me from doing anything I can to help save Calypso. I've done this before. I- I can do it again.
I can. '
- Kiyuu & Crimson <3

i’ve only been into dragon age for like. checks calendar. two and a half months. and the amount that my opinion on veilguard has changed after playing the other games is crazy
#the dialogue is sooooo baaaad it’s SO bad. i think of the bellara recruitment mission first mostly bc it’s so early but#‘we’re looking for an ancient elven artifact!’ cool what is it. ‘this building… no… it can’t be here!’ why. ‘if that’s here… that means…’#GIRL WHAT DOES IT MEAN. ‘the artifact… it can’t be here!’ YOU JUST SAID IT HAS TO BE. ‘it must be that artifact!’ WHAT IS THE ARTIFACT.#‘it’s an archive spirit!’ WHAT DOES IT DO. ‘you’ll see!’ girl if it’s so important that means you know what it does. why won’t you tell me#it feels like i’m watching an episode of naruto where they spend half the episode explaining things you already know like you’re 8 years old#but also at the same time they explain literally fucking nothing#and that is media made for children. this is allegedly a game for adults. with sex in it. apparently#obviously i’m paraphrasing that scene but. there’s a complete lack of specificity in a way that doesn’t feel intriguing it just feels like#they didn’t care. ‘elven artifact’ ‘red lyrium relic’ ‘blood magic ritual’ ‘antaam and venatori bad’ can you explain any of it to me please#almost no codex entries from scholarly sources actually examining any of these things. i’m so curious about the veil jumpers’ work#but no dice there. just ‘ancient elven ruins.’ i found the logs of venatori notes in the western approach and hissing wastes in inquisition#fascinating. reading about their practices and motivations was really interesting. in veilguard? where you are in minrathous? nothing#<- also that about the veil jumpers is based on memory but i don’t remember much from the codex being particularly interesting. i’ll look at#it again though i might be wrong. but anyway#like 80% of the game is a macguffin#and if i get into the shadow dragons and how literally nothing about them makes any sense#i need to play further into v’s run. i don’t really want to. but it’s for research#i should put ash and fel on the backburner for now since v is my research run. but they’re both past the dragons. and v isn’t#ragghfgfhghhgffggghHgGGHFGDHHGH#eliasposts#veilguard critical#but really only in the tags lol

i respect it when music artists reuse a line from a feature they had on another artist's song in one of their own songs. like hell yeah my good knight it was so good it had to be repuposed huh
#or also in general just reusing lines from within their own work. either builds a connection between those songs (exciting !!)#or it's like “this line is so good i have to put it in another song”#honestly i dont know the thought processes behind it but i thin kit's cool <3#im thinking of luzine and jassin right now#with luzine it's “für immer geformt aus eurem leid” which appears in her feature on “auf und ab” by MARY and then later in her song “SiLBER#and with jassin i saw a snippet of an unreleased song#that included the line “kau mein kaugummi mit off'nem mund doch krieg mein maul nicht auf” und ich weiß nicht ob es einen unreleaseden song#gibt wo die line auch drauf ist oder nicht aber die taucht auf jeden fall bei seinem feature mit trettmann auf#mir gefallen die referenzen zu “duftkerzen” in dem feature part übrigens sehr#ichglaub bei seinem part in der live version von “70 kilo” waren auch welche aber da müsst ich grad erstmal nachguckem#merkt man eigentlich dass ich das hier halbchläfrig und ohne brille im halbdunkel tippe.#anyway <33333333 verbindungen und referenzem zwischen songs#was mir auch noch einfälltist dass “haut wie pelz”“ im text von mehreren songs auf ”haut wie pelz“ (dem album) aftaucht#müsste ic h jetzt auch nachhören um genau rauspicken zu können aber es ist einmal bei dem song “haut wie pelz” natürlich aber das ist nicht#der einzige#aber apsilon hat in nem interview auch mal gesagt dass diese line “haut wie pelz” sich so durchgezogwn hat durch verschiedene texte die ver#verworfen wurden#aber dass er dadran halt so hängen geblieben ist und deshalb das album so heißt#lso ja macht sinn dass das dann in mehreren texten auftauchht i suppose#mine

I've been brainrotting on your LSO au so much and the bot is very fun to mess with. I've been brainstorming angst comfort, etc in my head, and I gotta ask
If Clover met Monkey King, and asked him to train them, since the Monkie Knight is, ahem, 'postponing' their training, would Monkey King do it? If he did, would MK find out? How would he feel about that? Especially since one of Wukong's way of training is just to throw them into battles
I don't know if this counts as a request, or a question, so take it as either!
Let’s Start Over:
Second Option
(Part One) (Part Two)
“I’m not mad at them,” the Monkie Knight hisses into the phone, gripping the metal tightly. “I’m not mad at them. I wouldn’t go to confront my own student if I was still mad.”
Mei giggles from her side of the line, lighthearted and airy. “You sound mad, dude.” The sound of metal clinking and fire hissing emanates from the background- she’s probably getting her bike worked on. “Like, super mad. Like you’re about to blow your lid.” Even after a full decade, she hadn’t lost her sisterly teasing and frequent ribbing.
“I’m not mad,” MK repeats. “I can’t be mad at Y/N. I did the same thing when I was a kid.”
“But you’re calling them by their first name, though?! You only do that when you’re mad, MK!”
“Or when things get serious. And if my kid might be in danger, then things are serious.”
“…promise you won’t blow up at the kid, alright? They came to me for advice before running off, so it’s not like they were running around recklessly.”
He’s not surprised to hear that. You had dubbed his best friend as “Auntie Mei”, and frequently went to her for help that he couldn’t provide, or information that he might be a little embarrassed to provide. Not that the Monkie Knight wouldn’t sit through an awkward chat about bodily functions or crushes with you, of course. Just that Mei was much better at it.
“I swear, Mei. Clover is just a kid- making the same mistake I made. I’m not gonna get mad at them. I’m worried sick because I haven’t seen them since yesterday, and they weren’t happy with me.”
“They’re… the kiddo’s out at that new burger place with the Monkey King.”
“…with who? With who?”
“Look, I’ve got the restaurant cam pulled up right now- I’m making sure nothing happens. They just ordered their food.”
“Nothing is happening?”
“Nothing,” she reassures. “They’re just treating the kid to a meal.”
“…thanks, Mei. Talk to you soon. Friday?”
“…yeah. Yeah, Friday works fine.”
MK smiles, just a little. He’s gotta be better for you. No letting his close relationships fray. He can’t set the example that fighting and living alone is acceptable. You need to learn to rely on others, so he has to put his best foot forward with at least a few people.
He has to be better for you.
———————————————————————-
“Aww, you’re the sweetest! But I’m not sure MK would want me doing that, bud. He’s pretty insistent on teaching you without help.”
You look away from the Monkey King with a sigh, focusing instead the basket of fries in front of you. You haven’t had much of an appetite recently. Lunch was especially miserable, given that your mentor insisted on big meals to promote proper muscle growth and high amounts of energy.
“Oh, don’t look so down! Look, MK’s just trying to do what’s best for you, alright? If he’s putting your training on hold, it’s probably what’s best for you. Here, lemme see your wrists…”
Sun Wukong takes your hands gently, turning them over to observe your still-bruised skin. His thumbs drag reassuringly across your knuckles, offering some small comfort.
“You haven’t even healed yet, kiddo. MK is just a little worried still, okay? He’s got your safety in mind, trust me. That’s what all of this is for.”
His hand drifts over one palm, the seal crackling into sight. And though a slight frown mars his exuberant face, the king fights it off to reassure you.
“I’m sure things’ll get better once you’re all fixed up, okay? You can bear with it a little longer- I know you can, Y/N.”
“Of course they can. They don’t have a choice.”
Both of you whip around to see MK stood near the table, his foot tapping impatiently. Arms folded over his chest, the man leans forward to meet Wukong’s eyes.
“Any reason you’ve got my kid miles from home without telling me, Monkey King?”
Though he expects to see anger, Wukong finds worry and exhaustion on the man’s face instead. Sleepless nights and long patrols.
Maybe it’s time the king stepped in, huh?
“Hey, hey- let’s talk outside, alright? No arguing in front of the kid.”
The simian leaps over the table with a fluid start, clearing it without trouble. He lands easily in front of a very unamused MK.
“…fine. Outside. As for you- I want to see you at least halfway through that basket by the time I’m back inside. Do not make me say it again.”
Folding under your mentor’s stern tone, you snatch a handful of the greasy appetizer and a condiment package, tucking in without a word. MK tries to remake the best out of even a bad situation- getting you to fill your stomach after a long period spent rejecting food makes him a little less upset about the whole thing.
“Are you mad?” Is the tentative question from between your lips.
“I’m not mad. Stay here and eat, Clover. Can you do that for me?”
With a nod, you return to the basket of fries, grabbing more packages from the end of the table. He’s angry (somewhat) at Wukong, not you. He wouldn’t still be calling you ‘Clover’ if he was.”
The Great Sage doesn’t have the same worried and upset expression- he reaches put to ruffle his old student’s hair, grinning ear to ear. With a lopsided smirk, he hauls MK away from the table and out of the burger joint.
And though the renowned Knight wants to launch into a lecture, or maybe even get physical- Sun Wukong interrupts his intentions with a big hug.
“I missed you, bud! I’m glad you’ve been doing well, huh? Sorry I haven’t been staying in touch with you!”
The hero freezes for a moment, overwhelmed by the sudden surge of warmth and unconditional support. God, when was the last time that he was just held? He really should be tearing into Wukong for taking you so far from home without permission or notice, but… it’s so hard to focus on anything but just how right the world feels at the moment.
“You… you need to leave a note next time. Or- or send a text. I worry. You know that I worry about everything.”
“I know,” the king chuckles, holding the knight like he was still a kid. “I know, bud. Just take a minute to catch your breath. I’ve gotcha, MK.”
“…you’ve got me?”
“Always, bud.”
MK allows himself to go slack, collapsing in the warm arms of the sunny simian. Wukong hauls him back inside, waving to you with a smile. He props the man against your side and slides into the booth with a hearty laugh, slowly rubbing his back.
“It’s gonna be okay, bud. Everything is gonna be okay.”
If he were less tired, less worried, less “running on four hours of sleep”, MK might have not believed him. He might’ve put up more of a fight. But his head is foggy, his limbs are already limp.
So MK puts his trust into the king once more, and chooses to close his eyes.
And for just a moment for the first time in months, maybe years- his life is peaceful.

Inanimate objects Important to TDP S7
The puzzle cube. It was inevitable that we were going to be seeing more of this after it's introduction, but also, after seeing what it's for in S6. So I think that we'll also be seeing the book that it hails from. The question is, will it be something that Aaravos is after, or will it be something that Callum discovers and uses against him?

2. Dragon Scale Amulet. Aaron Ehasz confirmed that this amulet is connected to Laurelion, the Startouch Elf from the poem (in which the gang discover the story of the Nova Blade). And we've seen it so many times that even before learning of this I knew it had to be for something! So now the question is... what?
3. The Nova Blade. Sure, it could have been a plot device to make them travel to the Celestial Elves. But the Quasar Diamonds already were that! Which makes me think that this will come into play again, even if it's not the thing that's used to defeat Aaravos.
It's described as "ivory draconic brought death's bite known ever forth as Novablade," and combine that with the previous item on this list, the Dragon Scale Amulet, and I can't help but think that the two are connected.

4. Staff of Ziard. According to the official wiki, the Relic Staff is an "elven crafted relic" (I believe by Aaravos). It lso sayd that "Although the staff is primarily used to amplify and strengthen dark magic spells, it can also be used as a catalyst for Aaravos's spells to be used by Viren. It is said to hold even greater secrets."
"There are seven other staffs identical to it in the Zenith of the Star Scraper. Although, while this staff has a purple stone, each of the other staffs has a gem of different colors embedded in them. Notably, there is one empty space among the eight pillars where the staffs are mounted."
Not only do I think this staff will play a role in the next season, I also think that we'll discover more about the other staffs. Especially knowing that Astrid will be playing more of a roll in the next season, she'll probably have answers for these questions!

5. The Cursed Coins. My personal theory is that Aaravos will be trapped inside the coin, as they cannot kill him. And beyond that, I also think that there's a good chance the last Quasar Diamond will be used to free Kpp'Ar from his cursed coin.

to chase a dream | zhang hao ˚₊‧⁺˖
all your life, you and zhang hao have been chasing each other. you wonder here, if this is where your symphony ends.
TAGS: musician!au, gn!reader, rivals to lovers, angst with happy ending, suggestive!makeout
A/N: something about zhang hao called for dramatics so here i am (≧∇≦)ノ ! self-indulgent as usual :)
WORDS: ~1450, EXTRA: music info and terms here !!

"That was wonderful playing earlier."
History doesn't even begin to describe what you have between you two.
Your friends could joke that there would be enough to write an opera. Star crossed and all. All about the virtuosos of violin and piano. Of Zhang Hao and you.
You want to hark it back to those fitful days in grade school. Full days of comparing sheet music, trying to one-up each other about the difficulty. Hao, and his too big violin case and you, trouncing him every talent show because his hands hadn't quite yet grown out of their stubbiness. The satisfaction in remembering those big whiny tears brings warmth to your soul.
Then, there came high school.
Oh, you loathe it; he doesn't. Not when his hands became a study in lines and grace. Envy would eat you alive if you had any less pride. But you weren't so above yourself to not look at him. Hard to not notice when he grows a head taller and of course, starts topping the local competitions only to shove it under your face.
Your parents loved it. Gave a reason to push you further and deeper into competitions and over the top galas. To push your fire against someone who was all finely diced ice. There was nothing you liked less when you wanted to live for the glory of the crowd, not medals and flowers.
Eyes followed you everywhere when he was in the picture. And yours always found his.
"Here to mock me?" you ask.
The laugh you draw is enchanting. "Never." And it's so sincere you might just believe it. "Just here to say my farewells."
The Winter Gala spins behind both of you: through a door, down some ornate stairs and into a pit of some thoroughly drunk musicians. From the balcony, only the trickles of laughter and music eke out the door. But you would hardly focus on that, not when Hao stands very plainly in front of you.
"Already? it's only an hour into reception." You twirl the champagne in your hand with consideration before you gesture him to come to where you lean on the balcony rail. "Thought you would stay to kiss ass with some of the others."
"Not this time. No, I mean..." The howl of the wind carries his unease. Traffic horns and gala laughter do nothing to smother whatever he tries to hide in his tone. You know him too well.
There's more than history between you two.
But whatever he says next has you rethinking everything. "I'm leaving, leaving. I won't be back in the country for a while so, here I am."
There's a moment where you think he's entirely pulling your leg. Pulling you along to another little joke at your expense. But you've known him your entire life at this point, and you’ve been through too much to realize that he’s not joking.
“… Am I the first to know?”
You count the beats and steady your breath. Years of this, all for what?
“Only Minghao-Ge and Junhui-Ge, and now you. But knowing them, they’ll be drunk enough tonight to let it slip,” he explains in this awfully fond tone. “Mark Lee from the LSO watched me perform at the showcase in July and scouted for me. I think he got on Junhui-Ge’s nerves with how much he emailed him.”
Medals and flowers. Smiles and bows. The curtain draws, where are you now?
"Congrats," you say after a second – watching nothing but your past fly by you. Despite the ache, you raise your glass. "Cheers," you smile and take a sip. Raising it into the moonlight and offering the glass to Hao for his own toast but he just shakes his head.
You pout. "Don’t like it?”
Instead, he takes the glass from you and settles it onto the edge. Pink dusts his cheeks as watches you from the corner of your eye. “Want to remember this.”
Heat flares to your cheeks at the weight of Hao’s words. A night to remember is one way to put it.
"So, when are you off to London?"
"This Monday."
You blink. "... That's fast."
"Why? You think you'll miss me?" and it's said with that smile of his. Infuriating and secret, so many layers of discourse that haunt you – it’s a memory that you'll take to the grave.
"Of course, it's you," you mutter, disgustingly honest with yourself. "It'll just be... quiet, without your excuse of music causing a riot." Honestly, you can barely hear Hao's chuckle when you're too stuck in your head to mind the charm in it.
You want to edge back into your comfort zone of easy quips, nothing serious but scathing wit. But nothing you say lights the fight that used to start so easy back when you two were younger. When your worries were small like the cars below.
A full look at his face is all you want to chance a glance for. What would you see? Remorse? Eagerness? Disappointment? You could read him like a book with a single glance, what’s stopping you now?
"What about you? are you going to stay in Singapore? I thought you'd be the one to chase excitement."
"I’ll chase whatever my parents dangle in front of me.” And the laugh he breathes is empty because you both know it’s bitter but true. Hao’s stood aside long enough to understand. So, when he sidles closer next to you it warms you more than they ever did. "Yixing-Ge told me he's also planning to leave for Boston, promised me that I'll get his seat when it happens."
"If it happens,” he teases.
"It’ll happen."
You nearly jump when you feel it. Hao’s warm hand on top of yours. It’s spindly and calloused, worn out in the way a weathered musician’s should be. It’s all you need to guide you back to where you are.
"I know you'll make it. Just make sure it's something you want.” Hao’s breath is right next to your ear. Clear as day and easy as a song. It’s so simple to say: take what you want.
Blood in your ears, chest heaving, nothing to catch you when you fall but the discordant crash of keys.
It sounds like a melody.
"It's never going to be something I want."
"Then, what do you want?"
You.
Instead, you turn to face Zhang Hao. A challenge of a smile on your lips because you know where this ends.
To face the music, the crowd, the eyes that watch.
"What's it like? to chase a dream?" you ask.
Brutal, visceral, freeing. An infinite number of interpretations for one word.
The stage becomes your world, and the spotlight burns you alive. Pressure flays your skin even as your fingers glide across smooth keys and you hush your heaving breath. Running to your last page, heart in your hands, smearing red across white. There's no audience when you dream; you are your own critic, you are your own end, but your destiny is not you.
To chase a dream is to become raw.
"Like chasing you."
You hum low and satisfied. Carding a hand through Hao’s hair, you guide him down.
Kissing Zhang Hao feels like being on stage all over again. Being set on fire, skin flaying, blood rushing. It’s everything he isn’t, but everything you are.
You swallow his groan, biting across his lips as your hands trail down him. Everywhere you've wanted to touch feels unbearable. You want to chase this feeling: Hao's hands on your hips and cradling your jaw. Trailing his red ears and holding around his throat; it's little fires everywhere.
Distance doesn’t exist as you push into each other. Hao has you against the rail, hands cradling you like you’re his own instrument. Playing you to pluck you into satisfaction.
Years of us, made for this final movement.
This ache and greed that makes musicians like you two come alive. You know Hao as your years of black and white keys that haunt your dreams and make your reality. There isn’t a crevice in his mind you haven’t touched or a melody that he’s played where he never thought of you.
You hold Hao by the chin, determination set into your eyes and a chord of steel in your tone. "There better be a future for us – I’m not having you leave me here in your past.”

III EP 18 SPOILERS III EP 18 SPOILERS
.
SCROLL AT UR OWN RISK
.
i hope this is enough text where it will do the ‘read more’ thing
.
i hope
.
if it doesn t im sorry
.
ANNYWAYS I RECENTLY BECAME A FLOORPHONE / MEFLOOR SHIPPER AND OH YM GO‼️‼️‼️‼️ thats kind of irrrelevant but thanks ep 18 for making my soul leave my body!
anyways they knew i was maiing human designs so they gave me initiative to make more alt designs for mephone and floory yay!
do not disturb mode mepjone is so cirsed in the epiaode YOU GUYS DONT KNOW WHAT YOUVE DONE.
anywaus i gave him a muzzle and handcuffs cause thats cooler design wize, and his antennae now have the crescent moon shape in em. LSO PURPLE COLOR SCHEME SOOO PRETTY!!! also his usb plug thingy mabob is on his upper back becayse im NOT following phone anatomy oh my go
as for floory! him being human, containing him in a jar qould be impractical, so instead to ‘contain’ him his vines have to be killed and then he basically becomes glued to one spot. poor floory. also the rest of his design goes to a more muted brownish color scheme, its similar to what i imagine his fall season scheme would be, except he’d obviously appear much more lively (his antennae wouldnt droop, and his leaves wouldnt be shriveled up n dead)
ok thats it!

So now they need to figure out what that place is and talk to her.
*crying and getting drunk because of her death would be nice*
Summery: Sam needs to find the ghost of his love.
Prompt Number: None
Authors Note: Ok, so I messed up a bit and can't find the original ask, and I can't remember who sent it, but here you go. Thank you for the request. I hope you like it
Masterlist
Prompt List

---------------------------------------------------
Sam sat alone in his room, drowning his sorrows in a bottle of whiskey. His girlfriend Y/N had died just a few days ago, leaving him heartbroken and lost. She had been the love of his life, and he couldn't imagine a life without her.
Y/N had died in a car accident, and he still couldn't believe she was gone. At the hospital they hadthought that she would make it. They had given him hope that she would come home. But she never did. She died a few days after the accident. The one piece of closure Sam had was that she was not alone. He had not left her bedside the entire time she had been there. He had been with her, holding her hand as she died right in front of him. He had felt so helpless wat hing the doctors and nurses try to bring her back.
They had failed.
HE had failed.
Failed at keeping you safe.
He had been trying to drown his sorrows in alcohol all night, hoping to numb the pain even just for a little while. But no amount of drinking could take away the empty feeling in his chest.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
After a while, Colby came in with a somber expression. He had been staying in Sam's room since the accident both to give comfort to his best friend and lso to receive comfort for the loss of the girl he thought of as a little sister.
"Sam, you can't keep doing this to yourself,' Colby said, gently placing a hand on his friend's shoulder. 'Y/N wouldn't want to see you like this."
Sam let out a bitter laugh. "Y/N is gone, Colby. She's never coming back."
Colby sighed and led Sam back to his bed, where they both sat down. "I know it's hard, but you can't give up on her. Remember the last thing she said before she died?"
Sam's eyes widened as he remembered Y/N's last words. She had whispered to him, "Find me, Sammy. I'll be waiting for you,' she had said, her voice barely a whisper. At the time, he didn't understand what she meant. But now, as he replayed her words in his mind, he realized that she was giving him a clue to find her spirit.
But how were they supposed to do that? They had no idea where to even start looking.
"We have to figure out what that place is," Colby said, reading Sam's mind. "We owe it to Y/N to try."
Sam nodded, wiping away his tears. He knew Colby was right. Y/N wouldn't want him to give up on her so easily.
Together, they started researching different places that could fit the riddle Y/N had given them. They searched through books, maps, and even online forums, but they couldn't find anything that seemed to match.
Just when they were about to give up, they came across an old abandoned house on the outskirts of town. The house had always been rumored to be haunted, but Sam and Colby didn't believe in ghosts. However, Y/N's cryptic words led them to believe that this could be the place she wanted them to find her.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Sam's heart started racing as they made their way to the house. He couldn't believe they had found a place that could possibly be the one Y/N was referring to.
With shaking hands, they entered the house, their hearts racing with fear and excitement. As they explored each room, they felt a strange presence surrounding them, almost like Y/N's spirit was guiding them.
They reached the attic, and there, sitting in the corner, was Y/N's spirit. She looked just like she did when she was alive, except for the glowing aura surrounding her.
"Y/N?" Sam said, his voice trembling.
"Sammy? Colby?" Came the soft and slightly echoing response.
"Y/N," Sam whispered, tears falling down his face once again.
"I'm here, Sammy," Y/N said, her voice filled with sadness. "I couldn't leave without saying goodbye to you."
Sam and Colby sat down next to her, and Y/N explained that she was stuck in this place because she still had unfinished business on Earth. She had wanted to tell them that she loved them one last time and make sure they knew she was at peace.
As they talked, Sam and Colby felt a sense of closure and finally understood what Y/N had been trying to tell them all along. They spent the rest of the night talking to Y/N's spirit, laughing, and reminiscing on old memories.
And as the sun rose, Y/N's spirit disappeared, knowing that she could finally rest in peace knowing that her loved ones were okay.
Sam and Colby left the house with a newfound sense of closure and peace. They knew that Y/N was always with them, watching over them and guiding them. And even though they would always miss her, they could now remember her with love and gratitude rather than pain and sadness.

2.19.25
So I'm a second year PhD student now. I work in an organic lab, I work on photoclick chemistry and sequence defined polymers. I lso teach Organic Chemistry 1 labs. It's been a while. Grad school has been hard. I have been working 70-80 hour weeks for so long I don't know what it's like to be rested anymore. It took me seven months to complete one synthesis. However, I feel like an academic for the first time. I have finally started actively keeping up with literature, writing all my notes down, collecting textbooks, applying my own knowledge to make reactions...etc. Right now I'm making more of my starting molecule to make the backbone of my polymer, and there's a Friedel-Crafts stuff that is unbelievably difficult. I'm running a column on that right now. I'm also trying to manage my lab time better so I'm efficient.

i NEEED YVES AND Y/N MOMENTS PLEASEE
Sun&Moon
Pairing-Yves&Seasons!Reader

“G-IDLE IS FOR THE GIRLS AND THE GAYS.” Y/n read while clapping “Yes, we are.” She smiled with a thumbs-up
“Oh! Yves is joining!” She clapped while getting close to her screen and tapping it, a few seconds later the Loona member joined the live “Yves!” “Y/n!” The two grinned at each other
“Girl where have you been?!” Y/n said while pouting at her “here,there, everywhere you know?” Yves said while sitting back “have you eaten?” You asked “Yeah, you?” She said while she read the chat “Mhm.” You mumbled
“Oh! Right have you taken a bath yet?” You said while straightening your posture “no, not yet, you?” She said with a “🤨” face “nope i haven’t, 우리 같이 목욕할까?” You said with a sly smile, speaking in Korean bc it was an instagram live with mostly people speaking English, Yves gasped and covered her mouth after she heard Your words.
Y/n laughed at Yves reddened face “well, should we?” You said smiling, Yves took a second to compose herself and then nodded and said “응 물론이지, 너희 집 아니면 내 집?” She said with a straight face
Y/n’s smile dropped for a few seconds before she let out a laugh “Wow, you’ve never said anything like that before, got me blushing!” She said with a smile as she read the comments quietly



“So do you think that you could be fine with not being friends with Yves?” Kang Ho-Dong asked while pointing to Y/n and then to Yves which made Y/n immediately shake her head
“Could the moon be without the sun?” She immediately said back making Kyunghoon and Sangmin confused and Hodong motioned for her to continue
Yves stared intently at Y/n as she continued “Without the sun, there would be no moonlight, the moon gets its light from the sun and without the sun, the moon would disappear.”
“Yves is my sun.” she smiled as she pulled her sleeve up to show a small moon tattoo and then pulled Yves's sleeve up to show a small sun tattoo
“Wow…who knew y/n was such a poet!” Ho-Dong clapped and then his smile dropped a bit as he heard Y/n chuckling, the camera pans to Yves covering her mouth while wiping her tears, and Y/n hugged Yves as she tried to stifle her laughs as she patted Yves back as she whispered a soft “Are you okay?”
Yves nodded as Y/n pulled away and Yves hit Y/ns shoulder “She always makes me cry!” Yves frowned as she took a breath and continued Almost everyone in the room laughed as she pouted, as the camera panned back to the knowing bros Y/n held Yves’ hand as she whispered gently “its okay.”

what happened in the red squaron arc. Full lore.
I'm going to answe this OOC because bart wouldn't talk about the red squaron arc, BUT I WILL
ITS ONLY THE BEST ARC EVER ill put a cut here because this gonna be a LONGG posy
It all started with one ask, from when I had rebloged a ask interaction thingy asking for sad anons in specific. Someone sent an ask, accusing bart of being too annoying for the YJ team. Which I have forgotten to screenshot,
It immediately was followed up by this ask:

TLDR: red square apologized and bart tries to figure out who it is!
This banter of bart asking who red is, and red denying to answer goes on for like three more posts, then red square sends this:

TLDR: Red switching up and insulting bart and calling him idiotic, and bart asking if he's really an idiot for wanting to know who red is.
As this all happens, red slowly starts to make bart feel horrible about himself. Calling him names and pointing out mistakes, belittling him as shown below:




This continues to go on for a long while in the rp universe, red calling bart out and being mean (per my request) and bart slowly becoming less and less himself because of it
Then they start to compliment bart and give 'advice' on how to be better, manipulating Jim into believing them, like these for example:



they still insulted him, and got into his head trying to make him feel less than what he really was, lso hed do whatever they said. ike here:


really just trying to get into his head so their next part of their plan would work. Which was!
Get bart to go to them

He got kidnapped, sucked into the earth (the field shown in my banner) and imprisoned for the time being. He trained, and was put in a power blocking collar, so he didn't have his speed. He felt near dead, like he wasn't bart, he didn't deserve anything.
For days he sent out cryptic messages hidden in posts, and the red square did NOT like that. Bart tried to play it off like just trying to keep the others calm at first, but then started to believe that he needed whatever happend to him in that dirt cell. (I don't have screenshots of this- but if you search just the red square emoji on my blog aALL of this pops up anyways)
And after a long imprisonment, the day for the big finisharrives.
. . . So what happens to bart now?
Obviously red square anon has a blog now, and Obviously they want to improve bart by any means necessary!

They transform bart into something only nearly human.

Something so human like, almost no one noticed the change after.
Something only bart knows, something weighing so heavily on bart even today, something still effecting him.
Something that will effect him till the end of time,
Something that took his humanity, leaving a gaping hole where it once sat.
That took his friends,
His family's trust in him,
That took him
Something that made him inhuman,immortal, attached in one way or another to the red square anon and everyone there.
Something that kept him alive, but killed him at the same time.
Anyways that's the red square anon lore! Hope you enjoyed!

so Let Me Explain Studios's crazy theater teacher thinks there's four types of "character spheres" vacant head sphere, intellectual head sphere, love sphere and will sphere and upon hearing this my brain instantly connected all of these with some of the states sooooo i'mma infodump abt that undercut
Vacant head sphere: Florida is the most prominent when i think abt the vacant head sphere also i think abt myself we both have bounces in our steps and semi good eye contact, brains that are busy with multiple tabs open, and we i think both use hand gestures while talking at least i do the video puts it as "it's like their mouth is directly connected to their hands" i'm certainly like that but idk abt florida maybe other contenders for the vacant head spheres are Arizona, Tennessee, and maybe ohio
================================================
and before we move onto intellectual head sphere the video also says that both vacant head sphere and intellectual head sphere have the ability to be dumb and smart think patton and logan from sander sides patton even tho he's the heart he gives off vacant head sphere he's shown to be very smart but also silly and cheerful and can be a bit dumb at times and logan being logic is intellectual head sphere and ofc is very smart but we've seen him (i think) have his moments where his logic leaves him but that's my way of seeing it the video states that "these two spheres have nothing to do with intelligence" that's why i brought logan and patton in as examples
================================================
Intellectual head sphere: this is very much gov and California they don't have bounces in their steps but have a very smart forward looking walk and they do indeed just stare at you intently and maybe to an intimidating degree while you talk esp gov, their hand gestures are small and fidgety i could see gov twiddling with a pen or his thumbs while talking and flo and cali are the perfect vacant head sphere and intellectual head sphere duo i mean just look at them and it's why the series Florida man in socal is so interesting and it gives opposites attract which is why they're shipped a lot or vacant head sphere and intellectual head sphere can be siblings too bc in the video they're referred to as twins/siblings but the kind of twins/sibling where they still have some similarities which is a;lso why cali and flo are sometimes seen as siblings in the fandom think of the fic oh give me a home they're siblings in that story
================================================
Heart sphere: first state that came to mind was Kansas, Heart spheres have very good posture because they lead with their chest, they have very good eye contact and are very expressive with their eyes and i think kansas does have that and bc of that you always know if a Heart sphere is listening to you which is all the time, now with hand gestures the Heart sphere always has their hand on their chest weather it's playing with something around their neck or putting their hand to their heart and i can absolutely see Kansas putting his hand on his heart and not just bc he's a midwestern state some other ppl for this sphere maybe is Washington and Oregon, Virgina and Maryland
================================================
and the last one the Will sphere or the cowboy sphere/supermodel sphere: now purely bc the creator of the video saw it as the cowboy sphere and one of her friends saw it as the supermodel sphere i will say it gives off nevada and texas vibes i can see them both walking with their hips which is what the will sphere does, the will sphere doesn't use their hands all that much but when they do it's a big gesture like the get outta here gesture or slapping the table from laughing so hard gesture, with eye contact the video says "idk if this is intentional but the will sphere will hold eye contact like they're asserting dominance" which is why she called it the cowboy sphere and supermodels do that too which is why i think nev and tex are good examples for the cowboy sphere/supermodel sphere analogy, and this also puts a little highlight on texacali the will sphere and Intellectual head sphere don't mix sometimes think of logan and roman from again sander sides or creativity and logic they are natural enemies just like tex and cali which is also why ppl ship them A LOT they have the enemies to lovers trope and the opposites attract trope in their back pockets practically or as the video puts it "legends say that when a will sphere and an intellectual sphere have a staring competition it never ends" and that sounds very much like tex and cali, and basically in the video it says that will spheres take up all the space of a couch and we have seen texas do that before i think if not then i would think he's sometimes like that then, some more contenders for the will sphere is: all the south accept for florida and loui and virgina, all of the northeast (but i think the ne are both Intellectual head spheres and the will spheres) and maybe wyoming and also Austin :>
but thats it with my infodump and i highly encourage you to watch the yt vid https://youtu.be/ODpw-J1qxik
just like the video this was all for fun bc her theater teacher's logic is flawed and no one will fit into one category even tho i see the Vacant head sphere in my personality the most
feel free to contribute see ya

My current feelings on the T9S ships
I made a list like a year ago but I can’t find it haha. And my opinions have changed a lot so I'm going to be doing an update. If I missed any ships, please let me know!
Jay/Leia - My favorite canon ship out of the newbies. Granted I’m not AS emotionally invested in them as Gwen/Nikki, like to the point of constantly thinking about them and writing for them (which is weird since they might be the ship I make the most edits for haha). I've written so many fucking metas on them it’s not even funny haha (check my #jl meta tag & also my #jled tag). They’re just so pure and cute together and super overhated imo. Love seeing these two young teens in love.
Gwen/Nikki - Otp of otps. They’re my Jackie/Hyde in this show. So much chemistry, enemies (well frenemies) to lovers. Even though I don’t like that the scenes with them lessened post-Step By Step, I still see signs that they’re endgame. I just hope the writers don’t queerbait me and have them be endgame haha. Also check out my #jhgn tag for parallels :)
Gwen/Leia - Even though Gwikki is my heart and soul, I love Geia too and their parallels to Formciotti (check out my #gled tag). Gwen is legit the girl next door and not to mention, besties to lovers! There’s clearly something between them. Imo, I think they’re the most queer coded dynamic on T9S. The idea of them being platonic hurts my soul.
Nikki/Leia - Even though are only a few fans, I couldn’t help but put them. They’re just very cute and I love their scenes in Summer Storm. I think they could been a really cute college romance sort of thing. Also the love triangle trope where both girls ditch the guy for each other is A+.
Jay/Ozzie - I'm putting them here because of Ozzie's reaction to Jay's flirting in the pilot 😂. Same as Nikkeia, I see them as a cute college romance but also lowkey endgame in a universe with Neia & Gwikki/Geia & Niknate as the endgames. Their energy gives me Fez/Kelso (Hannah has a post talking about it and I see tbh). Plus they were GIVING old married couple energy in Summer Storm.
Ozzie/Etienne - Perfect bbs no notes. If someone can make Ozzie smile the way he did in LS, then they’re a keeper. I hope we get to see Etienne in s2.
Jay/Nate - Also my personal Fez/Kelso. To me, they’re just as gay as Gwen/Leia and I wish that was acknowledged more. They’re just so funny and cute. Even though I ship Nate/Leia now, I wish that the triangle was Leia/Jay/Nate instead since Nate is basically in love with Jay. I mean it’s canon that Nate always lets Jay ride shotgun. Plus Nate literally ditched his girlfriend to go with Jay to see a used hot tub. Now you can see that as Nate being a good friend, I see that Nate wanting to hang out with bf and do something fun.
Nate/Leia - Talked about it here. While I still have the same issues with them (giving off plot device, screwing over Nikki, very few scenes of them alone), I realized that that’s moreso on the writing and the way it was executed. But I really love them and want to see more of them in s2.
Nate/Nikki - Had potential early on and some cute moments later, but they ended up being a mini J*lso. 1 & 2
#poorni speaks t9s#my meta#t9s meta#jeia#geia#gwikki#nikkeia#jozzie#ozne#neia#anti neia#i think??#anti niknate#otp: i'm not ready to give up on us#otp: cute smart and awesome#otp: should we be funyuns? funyuns!#ship: you gotta go headfirst#ship: but that would've worked on me#otp: my favorite person#otp: you're really smart
