20 years isn't that old.

18 (and 1/2) is only two years less than 20. At eighteen, Two-bit lived in his laughs and jokes as the world around him deteriorated. The two kids he once babysat would be torn apart. He would say his goodbyes to one without knowing it, leaving the other dead inside.

17 is three years younger than 20. Dallas Winston and Steve Randle would have been in their last two years in high school. The two, instead of worrying about their futures, were forced to run, both taught how to keep their hands visible and keep their heads low when sirens passed by them on the street.

16 is four years younger than 20. Johnny Cade and Sodapop Curtis, the second youngest group in the gang. One dead in an attempt of being a hero, the other working to the bone to be the other pillar of support to help sustain a household. Sixteen is much closer to twenty, but still not far from ten.

14 is six years younger than 20. Ponyboy Curtis, not even fourteen for over two months, living through the unthinkable. Nearly burned alive, five people dead in less than a year, all but forcing him to live a nightmare.

20 isn't far off from 18. 18 isn't far off from 17. 17 isn't far off from 16. 16 isn't far off from 14. 14 isn't far off from 20.

Darrel Shaynne Curtis Jr. was 20 years old.

[oh-no-its-bird]

Team 7 gets zapped into the warring states era but it's like, team 7 either mid or directly after wave-arc.

They're babies!! They're untrained little babies!!! None of them have gotten that good good character development yet!! Kakashi is still actively desperately wanting to not teach them!! (tho he may have just gotten his "ahh fuck. I actually have to teach them, huh." Moment)

Sasuke looks like a carbon copy of a younger Izuna and it's going to cause problems

Naruto thankfully doesn't look much like an Uzumaki, but his tendency to very loudly introduce himself is going to get him into trouble

Going w my usual flavor of "the Hatake are a very small but very famous clan known for being fucking insane", people are seeing Kakashi and going "oh god oh fuck what are one of THOSE guys doing here oh sage preserve us please don't eat me" as Kakashi just kinda stands there like 🧍‍♂️

Sakura is the only one safe from not being fucked up and over her clan, good for her!

-> back to the Hatake thing.

The kids still know virtually nothing about their sensei so they're learning all this stuff about his clan and believing every word of it, from the believable rumors to the insane.

Sakura, in a hushed, worried voice: "Sensei,, is it true ur clan eats people??"

Kakashi, who's father died before he could tell him almost anything about their clan and genuinely doesn't know but at this point is starting to get a little worried about it:

Kakashi, who also never passes up the opportunity to fuck with someone: "only stupid little students who ask stupid little questions <3"

Sakura and Sasuke: *worriedly look at a confused Naruto*

For convoluted reasons they run into the Hatake of the era and after introductions they look at the kids and are like,

"Oh!!! Ok, so this is your kid, right? :)" pointing at Sakura.

And Kakashi is like. ",,no."

"Ohhh, ok. So this one is your kid then?" *points at Naruto*

",,,,,,,,no."

They look at him confused then nod at Sasuke. "So then that one's your kid, right?"

"None of them are my children."

*visibly disapproving / disbelieving side eye*

One big difference between this and the team ro time travel one is how much less trustworthy Kakashi comes off to literally everyone who looks at him.

He's a trained adult shinobi, probable bloodline thief (with no way to prove his innocence), and he has 3 children from 3 different clans (2 of which are indirectly enemies bc the Uzumaki is a Senju ally) (1 of which might have a direct relation to the Uchiha main house) and comes from an infamously volatile "wild clan" from another country entirely (Iron country)

He is NOT getting out of this with talk no jutsu bullshit. He has a target on his back from day 1 and it will take a minor miracle to get even a single person hear him out

Anyways uhh—

Saying Tajima and Butsuma are still alive but due to die in some months (till team 7 accidentally interfere and somehow accidentally save Tajima, maybe also Butsuma but I'm more biased towards Tajima so I'm thinking just him actually)

Kakashi sees baby Kagami and feels like he's been hit by a truck bc he looks just like a miniature Shisui and he has hang-ups about his "suicide"

Half-Hatake Tobirama is catching HEAT from Kakashi's antics. Why does one of ur cousins have a sharingan. Where did he get those children. Do you know anything about this. Is it your duty to help hunt him down bc hes your blood. If not yours then it's definatley the Hatake's, call them immediately and tell them to clean up their mess.

Bloodline theft is like THE ultimate no-no for all shinobi, especially in this era. To the point that even ancient enemies will sometimes temporarily set aside grudges to kill bloodline theives. Kakashi is so fucked, someone get him out of there

Mmmm there are like still bits and pieces of thoughts floating around in my head for this but I can feel myself getting distracted and want to get back to art fight so I'll leave it here for now

Gold can be exchanged for goods and services (o.o )

Pariah's Keep probably has a shit ton of Precious Goods from various places.

Danny is become King?

If Danny becomes King... then the Zone will somewhat obey him. The Crown and Ring could EASILY tell him where the next natural portal is, where it opens up, and for how long. How many there are. Could probably make a few.

Probably WAS supposed to be making them. Consciously. But, well, Coma(tm).

Would probably count as Kingly Duty to filter and collect. Clean Ecto goes out for souls that remain, a Gateway home for those that wish to LEAVE, so forth and so on.

Effectively, being The Grim Reaper. You don't CAUSE Death. You just guide the way home. If folks so choose.

And that's neat! Horrifying, but neat! And Danny can TOTALLY see how it would eventually drive him completely breakfast cereal fruity nuggets! LUCKILY, he's got a vaguely bro's/Mentor thing going with the ghost who has ALL OF POSSIBLE TIME flowing through HIS head! So Danny should be Gucci!

The headaches suck though.

But WHAT... to do with all this Gold and valuable Space Goods? Most of these aren't even recognized currency on earth! Like the Shells. You could buy a mansion with one of those... on the right planet. On Earth? Pretty paperweight. Hmmmm >.>

Wait.

WAIT!

<o> *points to top of head!* CROWN! It can? Predict and make PORTALS!

Portals lead any WHERE and any WHEN!

:O

Gold... can be exchanged for goods and services. He remembers, holding a gold brick, about to eat so, SO much pizza.

But WAIT! I hear you wondering! Surely, you mean? Within his past? The history and region of space he knows, right? Ha ha :) Nope! Cowards.

Danny is on the alien otter's planet, trading those sweet, sweet Shells for some snacks no human could eat and a shawl for his sister! He's hiding, badly, behind a food stall in the Martian market place. Hoping future hero J'onn Johnes doesn't notice him.

Lying to the Space Cops, bout where his untraceable Space Money came from, on an alien trading satellite. The Green Lantern's not buying it. Oh noooo >.> sudden Fright Knight. Looming Menacingly by the loading doooocks. Everyone's upset! Definitely not related to him! Better go check on that! :) *gets the heck out of dodge* (my king. Please stop using me as a distraction.) (No promises)

But! It's all fun and games? Until your human friends get sick. Like... REALLY sick.

And then you suddenly remember time and space mean nothing to you. One 15 minute flight that way, two doors, a quick flight of stairs, and a literal child's play place slide? You could be in the 32nd century.

That disease is AT BEST, an unpleasant afternoon, there.

Here, your friend could die.

You trade a student two Spanish dubloons. They have no idea what they are. Just like the look of them and know they're real metal. They walk into the pharmacy for you. Don't question your "social experiment paper" lie.

You're back in less then an hour.

The screaming argument about ethics and mortality lasts hours.

She still takes the medicine. Gets better. Won't talk to you for months. Because why does HER life matter more? Why bend the rules for HER? And you can't bring yourself to say what pulses as Truth from both Crown and Ring.

You could because she didn't Matter. Time... would not notice, nor change. She was in no way pivotal to the flow of history, must one more ant beneath its unrelenting march. Mattering only because those who love her CARE. Because one or two little things might change for the better.

But it takes the shine off of it, a little.

Being able to go to the FUTURE. Watch movies and see aliens and humans alike in the crowd. Read books and dance to songs from people who won't be born for hundreds of years. Eat snacks from the farthest reaches of the cosmos. Or the early BCs!

And that's BEFORE other time travelers clock him as That Shopping Guy. The one who keeps popping up... buying things. For what? Unknown. Probably dinner. Half the time it's food. Trinkets. Once it was a really, REALLY nice goat. (His aunt was THRILLED.)

It probably drives Bart crazy. Because NO ONE knows anything about the guy? Everyone just universally goes "oooh yeah! HIM! Yeah, he sure does Exsist(tm). Very... present and exsistant." Like that's not CRAZY! He has so many question. So Many! What is he even BUYING!? Why? Is there an order? Or is he winging it?!

*pulls out list* he needs ANSWERS!

[jasontoddspussy]

hanahaki au. but the disease/curse is built so that if its strong enough it'll like, give symptoms to whoever is the cause of the thing in the first place.

jason has hanahaki. his hanahaki is caused by his self hate, and jealousy. he's deep deep down envious of dick. he wants to be loved so, so badly. he wants to have a family. and yet he was betrayed. the bats dont like or trust him. he hates himself so so much.

and the hanahaki seizes him then. making him cough up blue flowers (im unsure which yet, this is just like base idea)

its so strong that *dick* coughs up flowers - marigolds. and he's like. wtf. he contacts and talks to raven abt it who tells him the curse isn't within him - whoever that flower represents is the one dying right now. and dick being dick finds out its jason and tries to save him. he tries to like. hang out with jason more. he tries to be there for him. and jason is aggresive and annoyed and finally ends up coughing up bloody flowers and dicks like please, jay. you know i love you. and jasons like. no, you don't. not in the way i need you to.

what jason means; you don't love who i am now, you love the dead kid i was. you don't trust me now. you wish i was still dead and that i'd never come back to life.

what dick *Thinks* jason means: i'm in love with you, but i know you see me as only a brother and that you can't reciprocate.

and dick thinks to himself "oh god. jasons in love with me." and decides then and there, that he's gonna beat the curse into the ground with the affection that jason needs, because the curse will "wilt" away if it's tricked into thinking the love is returned. he's gonna have to act like an interested lover, he thinks, or else jason will die.

he starts out slowly. initiating more body contact. he has to be slow or else jason will realise whats going on and then he might die quicker. it takes him weeks but jasons drunk and they're together drinking and dick kisses him, pretending to be drunk (he's tipsy but nowhere near as drunk as jason is) and jasons like ? dickie? what're you...doing? we- you shouldn't do this, we shouldn't- we're siblings- and dicks like shh sh it's okay jaybird, i got you it's okay

they kiss but it turns into making out and dick *loathes* that he can just do that while jason is all blushing and kinda innocent/confused, that he can do this to his *Brother* - and jasons like you cant be serious, you want to- to have sex? with *me*? and dicks like well, if you want to. we can also not. and jasons like why would you want to do that with me. we're siblings. and dicks like "you're a crimelord, jason" and jasons like yeah but also have you seen me? im more scar tissue than flesh. i have a pussy, im big and hairy and-

and dick hasn't looked at jasons body naked like that. he hasn't studied him. he couldn't bring himself to. and jasons still like. going on about how he doesn't understand how anyone, much less golden boy dick grayson, could look at him and see something attractive. and dick feels so, so guilty abt doing this but he can't stop, he has to keep going to save jason's life.

in the smut scene it's like... dick is trying to tell jason he's gorgeous and what not bcs it doesnt sound like jason has a lot of confidence, which is a surprise to him, and instead of letting himself think too much about it, he.. hotdogs? him is that the term, and jasons just flushed and pliant and needy and dicks like... i got condoms and lube... if you want to? and jason says ok. but uh. i dont know what im doing.. im..ive never done this. before. so, uh. yeah. and dick screams inside himself at the fact he's taking his little brother's virginity but outside just nods and assures jason its okay, they're safe here this is okay-

i havent decided yet if this is purposeful or not but the condom is broken. and jason ends up getting knocked up. and dick is so confused bcs the curse should be done but it's *not*-

and he realises...

he may... not have any idea about who jason is. because red hood, the man he thought he knew, is a dramatic, extremely talented fighter & assassin who is cunning and a masterplanner, self assured and a hardass.

but the drunk jason was just a mess of self-hate and maybe- maybe the curse isn't because he's in love with dick, but because he's in love with what dick *has*, because jason hates himself and dick-

dick just fucked his little brother and he may or may not have fucked their entire relationship up.

[midnight1nk]

So, this week's episode...

[spoilers below cut]

*GASP*

...

how come the Team does this to me? They get me every. single. time. chat, I don't even want to click on the episode BUT I HAVE TO KNOW IF MY THEORY WAS RIGHT OH WHYYYY

(the following is my live reaction:)

starting off already? well no complaints from me

it's giving "Trust No One" from WOTFI 2023 arc

PFFT HAHAHHAHAHAHA

ok ok ik it's supposed to be serious, but that "wha happen?" audio clip from Mickey Mouse Shorts really caught me off-guard. Who in the Team did that? I want to say thank you

anyway, Mario dude you gotta tell everything, especially to Karen

...well, the minecraft part isn't wrong but he's not telling the whole story

omg 4 really is doing the same thing as 3 did a year ago

which is crazy considering that 4 wasn't in 3's interrogation on Mario. They're so cosmically linked that they came up with the same interrogation method, well it's also Mario we're talking about

yeah, we'll let Karen do the rest

might as well give in, Mario. it ain't worth hiding any secrets

...4?

he's so silly I love him 💙

idk 4, maybe you should be an inspiring VA (4 would be the type of parent who would do all the characters' voices when reading bedtime stories 😌↕️)

oh. oh holy shit.

well at least you're getting it out of your system, Karen. but I do feel genuinely concerned you. I still understand but worried.

the shadows making it look like she's stabbing Mario isn't helping with my concerns

...what was that?

*wheeze* no 4, it's not the IRS

OH we got a sniper here, folks. WPNZ?

AND A ROBOTIC HAND? yeah, we're not just guessing anymore. the anon from my inbox who said that WPNZ may be a cyborg, you nailed it man

Ain't no way, Mario died (he literally cannot)

THE GMOD GUN IS BACK

HOLY SHIT nice save Karen

it's confirmed: 4 doesn't pay his taxes

Mario: "I am..." [*Invincible title card*]

he still got the walkie-talkie.... what the hell did WPNZ say to him?

YEP now we're putting the pieces together

*wheeze* Mario what was that run?

pull some strings, you say? perhaps... CONNECTIONS?

GET EM GIRLS /ref

secretive, ay?

what's with the dark room?

*flashback* I just remembered a traumatizing experience in my past, hang on I have to stim and I'll feel better. /ref

damn Mario ok

oh wait, I recognize this animation style. Anaidon, did you work on this scene? :D

PFFT THE DISTRACTION DANCE FROM THE HENRY STICKMAN SERIES OMG

I did not see that coming, ok who in the Team did that bc that was good haha. nostalgia go brrrrrrrrrr

No, WPNZ, it really did work ngl

oh shit

yep it's a cyborg hand if it's compatible with an actual arm

Gear up, it's for a swell battle!!!

FLAMETHROWER?! even Mario's not liking this

no, 4! this isn't Mario, it's Mr. WPNZ

😦

*pauses episode* ...chat, can you do something for me?

hold me back, and don't let go until I'm done. ready?

*ahem*

...WPNZ YOU SON OF A BITCH WAIT UNTIL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU AND I SWEAR YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LIVE TO SEE TOMORROW— *10 minutes and a nuke explosion later*

ok I'm good.

4 I'm going to need you to wake up buddy. c'mon you can't die, especially not you. 4 don't do this to me, you can't. you faced way worse stuff before, this can't hold you down now. your friends, your family, they're waiting for you to come back home. you can't leave them. 4 please

WE GOT A PULSE OH THANK GOD

IT'S A WEAK ONE THO, WE NEED TO GET HIM TO A DOCTOR NOW

I KNOW YOU DIDN'T MEAN TO, IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT 😭

at least Karen could finally get some answers

...a surprise?! OH HELL NO that guy nearly got them killed for ENTERING, it's a trap for sure

LET'S GO GET YOUR KIDS BACK but do be careful, we still don't know what we're up against

😭

get 4 outta there!! oh god, is the Crew gonna see 4 in critical condition? Beeg4? *head in hands*

I swear the Team is out to get me (also Mario carrying out 4 strangely reminded me of a scene from a fic I read long ago)

and ofc the whole building on fire goddammit

(btw that fall reminded me of the insomniac spider-man teasers ifykyk)

no Karen, hun you aren't. you're like one of the best parents of the entire show

you're trying to be better and give your kids the life you didn't get to have, that pretty much makes you a good parent overall

YEAH LOCK IN

alright, the moment of truth

huh? radio interference?

I FUCKIN KNEW IT YEP IT'S CONFIRMED

MR. WPNZ IS KAREN'S EX LOVER AND FATHER OF THE KIDS

(well nicc, looks like you get you keep your script after all)

oh, so he's pretty much a psycho, good to know *starts curb-stomping him*

I TOLD YOU ALL THE "HALF PINTS* NICKNAME WAS TOO SPECIFIC

what kinda monster? oh the mentally-messed-up yandere ass one, yeah that kinda monster

HE'S AT THEIR HOUSE?! FUCKFUCKFUCK

ok yeah I see how it is. violence isn't enough, time to commit crimes :)

no, don't end it there. please don't

*flips desk* AND THE MUTED-COLOR CREDITS OH C'MON

looks like I got something else right, it was a mini-arc. it's all within the math

Congrats to daekim_26 for your art being featured at the end credits! 🎉 hey, I recognize this, Ben reblogged this over on Twitter. ig the Team really liked your art

.・-: ✧ :--: ✧ :-・.

I. I'm just speechless omg. Like what am I supposed to say to that? Shadow, is this what you meant when you said we're not prepared for this? I need to walk out a sec, hang on.

ok I'm back. I guess first off, Team, wow. What an episode, it is absolutely insane how good it all was. Especially the writing and the voice acting for Karen, it tugged on my heart strings. And Anaidon, I KNEW YOU ANIMATED THAT SCENE haha!

Genuninely, bravo 👏👏👏 and my calculations were right after all

Actually, for me to post my theory hours before the episode was dropped, I'm surprised how much I got it right. Most of it, yeah, though I didn't expect how insane Mr. WPNZ is. More so doing it for himself and not the corporation, but still a lot of dedication was put into this. And he got a robotic arm! Not exactly like Clench (who has a mind of its own and can talk) but definitely advanced. So, the point could still stand that the tech, skills, and resources were based on his job at Hitman Inc.

Poor Karen, you can tell she's been very desperate in finding her kids by the voice acting alone. You can't blame her for going to these lengths. Like I said, understandable, but I do still feel concerned for her. And then, her psycho ex on top of everything smh, I won't be able to handle it.

And you can't even blame Mario either. He did the mission thinking it would help Karen, and Mr. WPNZ told him what to do. Then with the prosthetic taking Mario's arm, it wasn't even him. It was WPNZ, but I do feel like Mario's going to feel so guilty for what he did to 4.

Wrong things for the right reason 😔↕️

Speaking of 4, NO NOT MY BOY. Chat, I'm not okay. Like I knew he wasn't going to die, he's literally one of the main characters, but my heart dropped at that scene. Through the floor and 6 feet underground. I did ask for 4 angst, yes, but damn. Can you imagine how the Crew would react? Since 3 & 4 are cosmically linked, would 3 feel that 4's in critical condition? Oh Beeg, 4's his dad dude. Beeg may be pretty tough but he still cares for 4, hope he gets a bit of revenge for it. (and a sprinkle of mar4 angst)

...am I going to bring in goop!4 into this?

Who do you take me for? ofc I am. As I mentioned, the parasite would still be in 4, and because of what happened to him, it might be the necessary trigger for it to activate. After everything that had happened to him, the explosion really knocked him out. This is taken seriously, this mini-arc starts really close to the IGBP anniversary.... I wouldn't be surprised if the Team tease for the future goop!4 arc. Not immediately after the Hitman arc, far later. Baby steps, chat. If the Team drops at least ONE frame, a SECOND, about goop!4, I'll take it!

Anyway, since it is a mini-arc, we're not getting another teaser or a trailer. BUT we are getting an episode special, so we'll have to look out for that. In meantime, that's all from me. I'll see yall next time and remember, folks: numbers always go first!

man, Ben. I gotta say, the thumbnail you made, it was a cool reference to the Parasite movie poster. Awesome job!

...huh.

[delta-lethonomia]

again, browsing through the Szarr palace (I'm sorry Astarion, I actually really like all the "tasteless" art lol), may I present to you:

potentially, Amanita?

I mention this purely because she looks a bit like Cazador, young, and the description of looking "attentive, or ready to voice some secret" makes me think of Amanita's writings in the attic. There's a fair amount of generic 16th century old white male aristocrat paintings, so it could very well be coincidence, but the paintings are picked for a reason and very much convey a certain ~vibe~. Off the top of my head (sorry didn't take more screenshots, not making a huge art post):

lots of skulls and flowers, dichotomy of life and death. However, cut flowers die quickly - they are already dying too

goat-headed women (the description notes "someone is being condemned, but who?" and for some reason I want to tie this to Donella)

Two sisters dancing, one a ballerina and the other her twin who died in the crib and has a skull face, depicted as a full grown woman as well (dance of life and death? reaching potential (ballerina) vs what could have been?) ugh I could have done so much with this if only I'd plotted out my fic way earlier!!!!

The Lay of Larethian (dark haired woman as Larethian instead of male golden haired elf as usual - what is up with that, Caz????) Other partner is just a faceless pale body, laying almost like a corpse

A few pastoral landscapes that "seem as if they're moving, even though nothing is changing" and are "unsettling"? Again, I'm thinking, is the point decay? Callback to the Szarr's having orchards, and presumably wealth through farmland? A slowly-rotting homestead, now inaccessible due to the nature of vampire territoriality and the sun?

There's also the GIANT FALL OF ELTUREL painting but that's in a couple of places so yeah. Still, a deal with the devil lead to the descent into the hells, hmm

A hamlet reference (lol) "Here the famous elven poet unveils the first review for his theatrical product 'Porklet', about a vacillating man who can't bloody make up his bloody mind to just bloody kill his evil uncle (or so spoke the review)." agreed, Caz, solve your problems with murder. Relatable, 10/10, I 100% believe he found this funny

anyway this all matches with some old Caz thoughts I had so pretty gratified with that, but now I'm convinced he's definitely a boob man/enjoys a low neckline and heaving bosom as any self-respecting vampire would, plus Astarion and white hair, obviously

Anyway, more Szarr mansion anecdotes:

Dufay is actually a spawn as well? He knows the other spawn will be sacrificed, but he's not human like I thought. He IS a spawn, he's just a "manage the household" spawn, not a "lure victims" spawn. He also has access to Cazador's office, as he updates Caz's "invited guests" party planner and keeps track of the.... extended stay... guests as well. Dufay knows the 7 spawn will be killed - he very possibly might know about the 7000 - that's why he takes the poison - his goal is to avoid being sacrificed and he also thinks Cazador might die for some reason??? He's hoping to inherit the house afterwards.

Dufay also mouths off at Godey which implies he's higher on the hierarchy, and presumably he doesn't get sent to the kennels. Godey writes him a note in which he says "please", and Dufay basically calls him lazy and to get his shit together. So, presumably, I think Dufay doesn't get tortured. He seems to have a great deal of freedom. He's also a smug piece of shit, because not only does he forget the right potion in his desk, he deliberately doesn't tell his gf because he thinks she's too dumb and will reveal his deception.

so, two hypothesis: Either Dufay was Chamberlain while mortal and very good at it, so Cazador then turned him into a spawn, but he's so removed from the others Astarion doesn't think about him potentially being sacrificed bc he's clearly just different, or Dufay is a spawn created by someone else (Donella? Vellioth? another Szarr?) and he got to stick around because he's too useful to get rid of. Very "family accountant" vibes. I can't imagine Cazador keeping anyone around who knew him when he was a spawn, so I wonder if he inherited Dufay after (maybe?) murdering a family member.

Although Astarion has no memory of the ballroom door being closed, it must be on occasion, as Godey has the dictionary and the ring (usually). His note to Dufay is that he lost the dictionary, which is Leon's doing, as he stole the book so Victoria could study the words. Regular servants do learn the passphrases to interact with it which is why Dufay is pissed. Astarion (and other spawn) however were banned from learning it.

It's not just Kozakuran. It's archaic Kozakuran, because Caz (again) is a dramatic bitch. Yes he's 300ish, maybe older, but that's not old enough for a language to be archaic, at least not in a world where elves/wizards/druids etc live to be 750+. He's just a nerd. IRL he'd be the guy whose passwords/wifi name would be in Latin.

Servant etiquette is don't look at Caz, don't speak to Caz, don't be lazy and make yourself busy (basically be an anxious wreck, the mortal servants certainly are), and NO WHISTLING. lol

For all that Caz gives clean freak vibes his rugs are a mess. They're like.... cloth floor runners? and they are crumpled. Get it together, geeze. why aren't your servants ironing the floor runners Caz this is pathetic

although the servants are a wreck they don't say what exactly "must be perfect"? I'm very curious what Cazador's plans were post-Ascension. Take over Baldur's Gate, yes, but..... how? You and what army babe

Also there are actual bats everywhere. why???? Half the servants just get to scrub bat guano all day I guess wtf

because of said bats and werewolves and the ridiculous amount of bleach they apparently have to order I cannot accept Caz as a clean freak. Instead, he's just a freak who indulges in vices on occasion and bullies the staff to make them work twice as hard. It's giving "cat knocks your drink to the floor just to fuck with you" vibes.

fixation on the number 17 (????) also Victoria's note is in the front room, so she's not confined to the favored spawn room and must have spent at least one year living in the spawn dormitories as well. Violet fantasizes about eating her, Dalyria succeeded. Low key love the fact that it's the women who want to kill the kid. So yes, Astarion must know who Victoria is, though it might have been a while and she might have aged/doubled in size since he was forced to interact with her.

They cut the "speak to dead" lines on Victoria's corpse which makes me think she's actually dead and not smuggled out like Leon intended. That does make more sense, but still, sad :(

Cazador told Sebastian that he was "bound to his Ascension" so again, we confirm Caz enjoys a little villain monologue even though Sebastian doesn't even realize he's a vampire spawn now.

Speak to Caz without Astarion and he goes from shouting to a sweet "I trust we understand each other" (◕ᴗ◕✿) in an instant lol he is, indeed, a dramatic bitch. I 10000% believe Astarion tuned him out all the time once he started shouting, it's just inevitable

Sebastian knows the staff controls things and that Caz never sets it down, so he has seen Caz walk by and open/close doors etc. Caz never feeds them, but there are rats scurrying about that they could theoretically catch, though Chessa says rat tastes like "moldy bread"

The caged spawn are invulnerable to damage description says "Cazador will not let this spawn die." I assume this means vampire lords can prevent their spawn from dying no matter what if they care enough to do so, which is how he still gets a hold of Astarion's soul for the Ascension even if you staked him or the Gur got him. He's just not gonna make him "invulnerable to damage," which arguably could just be hand-waved away as a necessary game mechanic. Conversely, Dufay and any of the 6 spawn can die, so

anyway tumblr was spazzing out while I was typing this so forgive any weird spelling errors it kept moving my curser for no damned reason smh

[sweetaspuffpastry]

DENY PART FOUR

omg here is part four!! this chapter is a little longer (i think)

smut is literally so hard to write bc i'm like wait where is everyone's hands. who's body part is where??? anyway i hope you like it :)

cw: oral (m rec) cumplay, mention of virginity

masterlist here

pogues (nsfw 18+)

they hadn't exactly told the others about their new relationship. they've been lucky so far with john b caught up in sarah and kie is busy with working at the wreck and the new girl she's been seeing and doesn't think we know about.

we've all been so stuck in the honeymoon phase of a new relationship, learning each others bodies and navigating dating as a polyamorous throuple.

grace wishes she could stay in this bliss, cocooned in her boyfriends heat and scents. right now they're in popes bedroom, the three of them squished together on his small twin sized mattress, trying to touch every inch of each other.

you've all discussed about what or how to tell your friends but right now you want to keep it a secret. you're not ashamed but you're a little afraid of possible repercussions you all will face when the truth comes out.

you think john b will be confused at first, he's always been a little thick in the skull but you know he'll come around. sarah will not care at all and probably want to corner you and hear all your juicy details.

kie might be tricky, she's been adamant about the no pogue on pogue macking and now here you are, macking on two of them.

you and jj are kind of lucky in the aspect of your parents literally do not care if you live or die so there's no worry about telling them. pope on the other hand, you're a little worried mr and mrs heyward won't understand or be not so accepting. you know they love pope but ignorance sometimes sticks to your bones and makes people feel certain ways about certain things. pope jokes they'll be happy he's dating you, they love you. they just might not be enthusiastic about trouble maker white boy extraordinaire.

jj says no matter what you'll all have each other and that thought makes you pull your boys in even tighter.

"pope..." you softly ask your brown eyed boy, "can i suck your dick?"

the question and the innocence of how you asked it makes both boys choke on their spit. despite the steaminess of your dream and some heavy petting here and there, none of you have actually gone all the way with each other. you and pope are virgins, jj is the only one with experience. you cringe thinking about your man with other people.

"yeah? you wanna suck my dick pretty?" pope asks, trying to be cool but he's really fucking hyped.

"yeah." you answer shyly. "wanna make you feel good and then i wanna make j feel good too."

none of you have to say anymore words, pope jumps off his bed and walks over to where you were sitting on his computer chair, you pull him in for a hug and give him a soft slow kiss.

"jj, will you teach me?" you inquire.

"yeah baby girl, i'll help you make pope feel really good." he responds.

you kneel down in front of pope, eagerly going to his belt buckle and undoing his shorts. you pull them down his legs and see his prominent bulge in his boxer briefs, precum staining the grey material.

"tease him through his boxers, baby." jj prompts you.

you lean in and nuzzle popes covered dick with your nose and mouth. softly suckling him through the fabric. you moan at his scent. he smells clean mixed with salt water and musk that is inherently pope.

out of the corner of your eye you see jj pulling out his dick and giving it a soft tug. he's getting so turned on watching you give pope his first blow job.

"don't tease anymore grace, please" pope whines.

you nod and slowly pull the boys underwear down to his ankles so pope can step out of them. you see his dick sprig up and hit his tummy with a soft smack and you gasp at the size. he's bigger than jj in length, even tho jjs cock is thicker. you squeeze your thighs together to release some pressure that's been building up in your core.

you gently grab popes dick and give the tip a kitten lick, moaning out loud at the taste.

"go on and lick him, princess. from his balls and back to his tip." jj directs. he's still softly tugging at his own dick.

"will you help me jj? suck his dick with me?" you ask coyly. you know your innocent act turns them on beyond belief.

"yeah? you want me to suck his dick baby? you want that pope?"

the poor heyward boy just looks blissed out, eyes downcast. he just moans and nods in consent. the thought of both his partners sucking his dick together makes him want to nut right then and there.

you move to the side to make room for jj to also sit in front of popes cock. jj pulls you in for a passionate kiss, sticking his tongue in your mouth, moaning a little when he tastes pope on your tongue.

when you end your kiss you and jj both lean in to suckle on popes cock, at this point he's dripping with precum and is so close to busting.

you open your mouth and try to suck his dick down your throat, moving your head up and down causing pope to grab the hair at the back of your head. he doesn't push you further onto his cock tho, ever the gentleman.

while you're sucking his dick jj leans forward and takes one of popes balls into his mouth causing both boys to moan for different reasonings.

you pull off popes cock with a gasp, spit and precum all over your mouth and chin, leaving his cock wet and shiny.

this encourages jj to lean in and continue on what you were just doing. he's never sucked a dick before but he has one of his own so he knows what would potentially feel good.

you raise your hand to jjs hair and begin massaging his head, casual intimacy that you've always had with the boy regardless of sex. you also take note you're still holding popes hand with your other one, essentially connecting all three of you together.

"i'm gonna cum- jj please" pope moans.

"can he cum on my face jj please i want it in my mouth and on my face!"

jj released popes cock with a sly grin and lifts his hand so he can jack the other boy off.

"yeah, you wanna cum on her face pope? make our girl all dirty?"

a few more pumps and pope is shooting out warm streams of his cum, loud moans and cries coming from the heyward boys mouth.

you moan at the feeling of his warm cum landing on your cheek and mouth, causing you to open it and suck down the remaining of popes load.

"fuck that was the best orgasm i've ever had." pope breathlessly says, knees buckling so he can join the two of you on the floor.

jj leans in to kiss you, licking at your face and lips to help clean off popes cum, with a mouthful still in mouth, he leans in and kisses pope, tongues collided and popes release being shared back and forth between the two boys. they are so fucking hot.

once the boys pull away from each other, you give out a giggle and excitedly start pawing at jjs still hard leaking cock.

"your turn!!" you say with eyes full of lust.

you're all at the chateau, sitting around the fire when it's actually pope who slips up. you're all calm and slightly tipsy from beers. pope gets up telling everyone he needs to leave for the night cause his dad needs help in the morning. he plants a kiss on jj without even thinking, moving onto you with ease. he doesn't clock the silence from the rest of the pogues or their wide eyes and shocked faces.

"surprise!" you cheer, blush scorching your face as you grab jjs hand for reassurance. jj reaching out to grab popes and pull him closer in case this goes sideways.

"i fucking knew it!" sarah cheers jumping out of her seat in triumph! "you owe me $5 john b!" she gloats.

uh oh.

i really need people to understand daemon and rhaenyra's relationship will never be over. he's her uncle, her husband, the father of her children and her consort. she needs him both politically and emotionally. they're so entwined with each other they might as well be the same person. he's literally going to die for her. this whole season has been about their marriage and how they're lost without each other. a little cheating is nothing please. merely another step on the road to reunification and being stronger than ever.

ur SOOO right about this being about daemon bc think about it...(from someone on twitter):"hear me out - what if rhaenyra kisses mysaria after they tell her that daemon has betrayed her, this will mirror her sleeping with criston after daemon abandons her at the brothel. it's a coping mechanism, a way to win back power after daemon's rejection."

and if i say rhaenyra is allowed to cheat and not daemon...i'm sorry i just think she's earned it! she's lonely and thinks daemon has abandoned her again and suspects he's trying to undermine her. now she doesn't know he's getting haunted by a spooky witch but still. besides i really don't think he would care if anything i think he would be very understanding.

thissssss. u are all so very correct and so much better at comprehensively summing up what I was trying to get at.

[crazylittlejester]

I humbly offer this actually really angsty when you think about it headcanon like a sacrifice to a deity with a disclaimer that it does get existential and kinda religious (Hylia being a confirmed real and true in universe deity + the places my brain goes with that) so please just delete this if you're prone to cosmological vertigo, it's just me rambling about an idea that has fundamentally altered my neurochemistry:

Post LU Wars (scarf, time shenanigans, kind of in love w every era of the land bc his brothers came from those eras!) is subject to a final bout of time shenanigans and becomes First (scarf, from a time Before Everything, goes to forge the Goddess Sword at Hylia's behest, fights demons) (and he's already got practice fighting Ghirahim from HW!). Demise starts with an army and the power of a god and ends with one sword, a small handful of monsters, and the power of a significantly weaker god. The thought that Wars-as-First might actually have been able to win the demon war and deliberately chose not to, because if he did then his brothers would never come to be, makes me insane. The thought of how oblivious he was to the utterly profound impact he had on Hylia by introducing the idea that she could fail the task the Golden Three set for her and it would bring about life and color and beauty, the idea that this idyllic paradise was beautiful but it wasn't living. The idea that the world where she failed was better than the one she where she won because the world where she failed produced people like her hero- people who LIVED, people who loved as much as he loved his brothers. The idea that Wars meets a goddess and befriends her and it changes her fundamentally and irrevocably does something to my brain chemistry. Something something mortals who live and love and dream and die with such a passion something the way truly seeing that passion might forever alter the worldview of a deity who'd never before encountered the idea that living was something to be done like you wouldn't be able to do it forever.

My supporting evidence for Wars being able to befriend Hylia: he's already had the experience of meeting embodied existential forces and realizing they're literally just people who also happen to be facets of reality. Lana used to be a sorceress who could see across all of time and space. He vividly remembers hearing her swear at a hand mirror because she couldn't get her eyeliner right and after that he was never again able to see 'deity' before he saw 'person'. Wars running around with the idea of Hylia as a person trying her best with whatever unknown amount of power she has vs everyone else knowing her as a goddess who is above such things as being a person.

The idea of Wars and Hylia sitting down and talking about it. Maybe they only do it once. But Wars tells her: I've been there. I've seen it. The world where he didn't win but we didn't either.

And Hylia says: we might be able to prevent it. We might be able to win.

And Wars says: no.

And Hylia says: no?

And Wars says: it's the world that has my family in it. This is the world has people who are alive but that one has people who are living. We create and we love and we fight and we destroy and you can't take that from us.

Something. Something about the vivid tenacity of the human experience. Something about turning down heaven in favor of living. Something about already knowing what eating the apple means before you've even done it and doing it because your family's just outside the gates of Eden and this is how you pull them open.

DAMN this is a really interesting headcanon (also that opener was insane, I literally read it out loud to my friend who was over and they were impressed aldkdldl) this could honestly make a banger fic

[pixie-felix]

Hi Pixie! A semi half-baked idea and a question.

So I've got "Ribbon" by Mariah Carey on repeat in my head. So guess who popped into my brain? Pretty Prince Jinnie bc we love seeing that man tied up in ribbons. But imagine trying him up temporarily because for an anniversary you prepared a special dance to that song for him. (The irony) We all know if he had his hands free and simply told not to touch her would absolutely cave 3 seconds after you got close enough. He looks wrecked once you're done so from the teasing touches and quick but deep kisses shared. I'm talking trying to take calming breaths, eyes slightly glazed over, pouty lips parted slightly, almost painfully hard in the lace shorts you bought him. But his eyes are glued to you. Have been since he was tied in/to the chair.

Do we tease him a little more with bites, kisses and hickies while slowly grinding against him until he cums? Should we go with a hand job and dirty talk as he sits there, mind fuzzing over and mostly communicating in half sentences and phrases making the prettiest noises you could hear up close? Put his pretty little mouth to use and ride his face? Give him some of the best head he's ever had and tell him he can't cum until we do? Immediately sink down on him and ride the hell out of him? Obviously all of the above is possible. He'd be so overstimulated as you just have your way with him. (This just got longer as I wrote. The demons are at work🤣)

How would the others react if you dance for them (maybe not to this song, but other sensual songs that remind you of them)? Who's blissfully surprised and might later give you a private dance of your own? Who's most to least likely to behave during your dance? (I'm so sorry this is like ten questions, but I wanna know your thoughts. BUT take your time. There's never any rush)

--🍭

I LOVE YOUR DEMONS

THE WAY I HAVE BEEN FOAMING AT THE MOUTH TO REACH THIS ASK JESUS CHRISTOPHER CHRIST

Oh.

My.

GOD.

As someone who used to be a burlesque dancer, this question SANG to me. Lmao, punny. Seriously though, for a brief period of my life I was a professional cocktease, and it was fucking awesome. And I genuinely had a routine that involved a guy being tied to a chair... What times. Hah. I was going to say thank fuck it wasn't skz and then I did the math and Chan would have been thirteen. Ew. So yes, yay, thank fuck there was no skz involved 🤣🙈

Of course now I'm daydreaming about being 19 again and being Bang Chan's hot-and-unstable noona. I want teenage Channie to have a crush on me! I mean, I want adult Chan to have a crush on me too, but that's different. Like, I want to go back in time and experience him having a crush on me in that cute way little kids and awkward teenagers do? Urgh and lmao, this has probably come out all wrong. Idc. It's written now.

*AHEM* Back to the questions.

I know we've discussed it before, *somewhere* (just wait until I've got that index finished. I'm gonna be cross referencing us left, right, and centre), but just to check...

You're keeping those ribbons loosely tied, right? So that not only are you driving him nuts with your movements (how is your body roll better than his?!), he's also going insane because he's got to keep himself still. Or suffer the consequences.

Um, did I see you mention lace shorts? Because I'm going to need a little elaboration on that 😇 How lacy are they? How short are they? Are they panties? Please tell me they're panties. Guys in lingerie... Yeah. That is definitely a topic we should discuss in great detail, when the time is right.

Okay, so I have consulted my smut playlists, yes that is a plural, and come up with the following pairings:

Chan. Chan has two options- one for Channie, and one for Christopher. Gotta love that duality.

For Christopher, easy: Scream My Name by Thomas LaRosa. Slow, sensual, with lots of build up and that ride-or-die-borderline-possessive vibes? Yes please. This was definitely not influenced by the Escape video. Bring out his protective side while he’s not allowed to move, tease him, drive him a little bit insane. 

If you want to REALLY push his buttons (of course you do), and you’re living in the poly!skz universe, get one of the other members to dance with you too. Obviously, Hyunjin would would be ideal. Again, definitely not influenced by the Escape video… If you go with this option, be prepared for revenge. Sexy, sexy revenge. (I would love to hear your thoughts on revenge.)

For Channie, (possibly definitely more my vibe because I’m a silly and mischievous goose who's totally addicted to Chan’s laugh): Pony by Giuwine. Do I even need to explain? Even if he isn’t immediately thinking of that lip sync battle (or even just Magic Mike itself) you KNOW he’s going to be cracking up. The only downside being he might laughing too much to get hard…  Lmao of course I’m lying. He was rock solid the moment you tied him to the chair, and he might be laughing but you KNOW he’s going to be throwing you down and giving you your own performance once you say the word.

Minho. Despite his poker face and tsundere personality, Minho is pleasantly surprised when you ask him to let you give him a lap dance. Whether the iconic eyebrow raise when you handcuff his hands behind him is for your benefit or his, (he's definitely pretending his dick isn’t already waking up) is up for interpretation. 

He’ll pretend to be unaffected at first, and the casual observer might not be able to tell how into it he is. But there is no way you miss the the slight narrowing of his eyes, or the tension in his jaw. Or the subtle fidgeting when his pants get too tight.

The song is Ride or Die by Jeff Satur. Does it have Drive vibes? Perhaps only lyrically, but still. He’ll appreciate the link almost as much as he appreciates the way you slip the key to his cuffs into your bra. He can fish it out with his teeth and tongue later.

Added bonus: it’s in his vocal range and now my brain is full of him quietly singing it to himself the next morning, in the kitchen while he makes you eggs. (I don’t even like eggs, but I just feel like that’s the *vibe*.)

Changbin. Choosing for Changbin was really hard, because Binnie never deserves to suffer. But of course he would like to be tortured a little bit, and we can't refuse him anything.  Obviously this needs to be a girl group song, and nothing too filthy. He is the prettiest princess after all.

So, with that in mind: Igloo by Kiss of Life. Watching the HyunLixBin cover of it was so cute. And everybody knows how much we love taking cute things and ruining them making them sexual. Take the original choreo and make it more intimate. Slower. Heck, maybe slow down the entire song.

Whatever you do, he's going to be over the fuck-mothering moon. When you sit him down in that chair. We all know those muscles aren't just for show, so EITHER make sure you tie those bonds extra tight... or use some ribbons that are so pretty he won't want to break them. Pink is always a good choice.

I nearly didn't include this song after whichever member's birthday livestream racist bullshit... but fuck them, Binnie looks so cute doing the dance, let's focusing on that instead.

Hyunjin. I’m right there with you with Ribbon, I hadn't it before but now it is his song. Straight on the Hyune playlist (I can't be the only Stay with separate playlists for each member, right? And I can't be the one who's Ayen playlist is exclusively badass bitch bangers, right?).

To pick my own Hyune track I'd defintely go with I Feel Like I’m Drowning, Two Feet (I feel like I should give a warning that this mv is quite raunchy, but then here you are, dear reader, reading our horny musings... so perhaps a warning is unnecessary?)

Other than that, I have nothing to add. Your Hyune-vision is perfect. I would like in please 🙏.

Han. No question about it: Mommae, Jay Park. Again, raunchy mv. This is Jay Park we're talking about. And you know he's seen the video, because it's iconic. And he was a teenager when it came out, so he's almost definitely beaten off to that beat before lol that's barely even a pun but it made me laugh sorry not sorry.

He was hard the moment he saw the ribbons in your hand, and on the verge of orgasm by the time you'd finished tying him to the chair with those pretty little bows. So when the music starts and he hears that iconic baseline -which naturally triggers a whole avalanche of horny teenage memories- it's no surprise that he jizzes his pants before those first nine beats are up.

By the chorus, he's already hard again, and begging you to touch him as you tease and sway around him. The question is, how long do you torture him? Making him sit in his messed up jeans, practically foaming at the mouth, tears in his eyes as he begs you to sit on his face, his thigh, his cock, his anything. I hope you tied those ribbons extra tight.

Oh, and bonus: you didn't let him undress properly because you knew this would happen, and he likes the pain of how the denim keeps his dick restrained.

Felix. Because it's fun (gotta keep it cute for Lixxie), and it's been in a bunch of reels lately: Sugar by Flo Rider. It's a bop, you know he's heard it (all those hours on tiktok), he's definitely danced to it before. Possibly in the bathroom, while he's waiting for the shower to heat up or doing a facemask. Maybe naked, once or twice.

Maybe he even took a silly little video of it for you, but chickened out of sending it after remembering you describe the time your ex sent you a two minute long video clip of him spinning a dick windmill and he doesn't want you to think of him that way.

But now here you are, dancing for him to the song he's had stuck in his head for weeks. He's a happy boy. A patient one too, obediently staying still while you straddle and grind on him, his boba eyes all big and glossy with lust as he admires you adoringly. The only hint that he's struggling to stay still? That white knuckle grip he has on his seat.

He's such a good boy, you don't tease him for long. You're barely halfway through the song when you pull on his wrist ribbons, freeing his arms enough so that he can touch you. Even freed, he stays respectful: you'll have to guide his hands to your hips yourself. After he's finished kissing you that is, whimpering into your mouth as you roll your hips against his. In time with the song, of course.

Seungmin. The bedroom eyes on this man. Jesus Christopher Christ. He might have an excellent poker face, but that slight tightening around his eyes, the barely there frown... That's when you know you've got to him. Better have tied those ribbons tight.

Getting him to agree to the whole idea of being tied to a chair in the first place will a bit of a challenge. Never one to give in easily, you'll have to pull out all the stops to get him to agree to this. Ofc, if you're living in the poly!skz universe, there's an easy hack for that: just tell him [insert member] was a good boy and let you dance for him.

Competitive Minnie mode: engaged. Dick: solid. Patience: thin.

Oh, and btw. You didn't tie those ribbons tight enough. Because when his fuse finally fizzles out, he's got you up against the wall, pinning you by the throat with his other hand in your pants before you can say "bad puppy".

Yeah, the song is Ride by SoMo, and after this night, he's going to torture you at every karaoke party you and the guys go to. This is now his song. Just like you're his girl. He won't even flinch when his hyungs and Jeongin cringe at the lyrics. You're his, and as soon as he gets you alone he's gonna take care of your body... and other quote other lyrics at you. With his dick. (Sorry, had to cool myself down with some humor because I'm still reeling from this and that. SEUNGMIN YOU WERE MY SAFE PLACE WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE CAMERA LIKE THAT I AM LOST.)

Jeongin. Right, I'm gonna combine my two favourite maknae problems here and suggest Move by Taemin. Do I even need to elaborate? You wouldn't even need to move, just sit on his lap, arms around his neck, your lips just out of his reach... Tease him with your smile and your eyes rather than your words.

But of course, that song is impossible to sit still to. Your body will roll all by itself, and paired with the way Jeongin is eye fucking you... makes you bolder than usual. It's nice to see the maknae go feral.

Speaking of which, you might need to gag him. Boy has a filthy fucking mouth on him (and yes I'm still calling him boy, because you know that only gets him more and more worked up). What you gag him with is dancers choice: more ribbons? Panties? Literal bread? (again having to cool my jets with some humour goddamn I'm not even ovulating). Whatever you use, watch out. The brat bites.

Oh, and did you tie those ribbons tight enough? Baby bread has been working out a lot recently...

okay it has only taken me months to reply to this and then days to actually write it all out. I hope you see this lollipop anon 😖 and if anyone else would like to weigh in with their striptease and/or tying skz to chairs thoughts, comment or send in an ask maybe a smoke signal or somthing 🫶

ੈ✩‧₊˚Solar Eclipse in Libra and How it Will Affect You ੈ✩‧₊˚

Solar eclipses are meant to be a bit turbulent- but for a good reason. They teach us that everything is temporary, for better or for worse. But something is for certain, everything granted or taken away from you is a learning opportunity.

LIBRA solar eclipse interpretation:

Libra, in general, rules: Relationships, Other People (from yourself), Balance, The Law, and Beauty.

This Libra solar eclipse for the collective could overall touch these themes and create change in the areas of life in which those topics occur! In general though, I already see the theme of balance taking the spotlight here for most people. You can expect to see these situations occur slightly before, but mostly after the eclipse is done. Think of this as the first domino to fall, and the change comes after the fact.

What Does This Mean For Your Rising Sign??? (feel free to also look at sun and moon)

Aries: This eclipse will be happening in your 7th house of relationships, business partners, law, and agreements. There will be a shift in your interpersonal relationships or romantic matters. Mars will be squaring this from the 4th house of home, familiarity and family. You may meet people who feel like family, or who feel like they're just meant to be in your life. It'll feel comfortable but its definitely a shift if you've been isolated for a while. A lot of reinvention on the foundation of relationships (values of relationships, what you find important in connections) will be taking place!

Taurus: This eclipse is happening in your 6th house of discipline, bodily health, pets and work / labor. There may be a sudden end to a 9-5 job you have, or you'll experience a shift in your health (for better or for worse) there will be an increased focus on your work ethic and health in general. A change to your daily routine is very likely! You may pick up a workout routine or a new diet. Mars will be squaring this eclipse from your 3rd house, so this physical change and life style change will be coming from a new found mindset. you will have a lot of drive but with all things, please remember that balance is key. Do not become a workaholic but also don't sacrifice your health and long-term happiness out of laziness!

Gemini: This eclipse is happening in your 5th house of dating, pleasure, hobbies, and sex. Your dating life might ignite or die very quickly depending on what you need right now- However Mars will be squaring this from the 2nd house which tells me you might actually end up prioritizing dating, pleasures, hobbies, etc in this new era of your life. have fun, however this square aspect can talk about an overindulgence in 5th house matters or a blockage relating to 2nd house matters (Money, morals, resources) interfering with this desire to let go and experience more pleasures. Don't take life too seriously but also remember to keep everything in balance! Overall, there is a shift in priorities and balance in regards to play and work.

Cancer: This eclipse will be taking place in your 4th house of family, ancestry, property, familiarity / comfort and private life. Something in your family may drastically change, family property and finances may take a turn either for better or worse. Someone could be having a baby. Idk why but this sign feels very in tune and I'm using my intuition for most of this because i keep getting random messages internally about this interpretation, so maybe your own spiritual gifts could be growing. Mars (and your ascendant) is in your 1st house squaring this eclipse, there may be some tensions between you and your family, or people who you consider family, however this eclipse is meant to show you how you can build a sturdy foundation of your own. Independence is heavy here!

Leo: This eclipse will be happening in your 3rd house of cognitive function, local travel, your neighborhood, and siblings. Mars in your 12th house will be squaring this eclipse. There may bc a lot of subconscious issues rising to the surface for you, especially emotions of anger or resentment towards others close to you, or immediate family. Please keep your passive aggressiveness in check, since you will be prone to lashing out. Overall, the change you can expect in this era after this eclipse is a mental glow up. Trauma will leave your body through healthy communication and vulnerability.

Virgo: This eclipse will be taking place in your 2nd house of morals, values, money, and resources. There may be a change in priorities leading you to focus on other things like smarter ways of making more money. Mars squaring this eclipse from the 11th house for you may mean that in your circle(s) you'll be perceived as a go-getter. You may be inspirational for others to make a life change as well since you'll be very focused on your aspirations and the bigger picture of your goals in general during this era. Overall, there's a shift in finances and resources. Although despite being perceived as motivated and driven, the flip side of this new focus is that it may take a lot of priority away from interpersonal relationships. You may feel a bit isolated during this new era, or at least find it hard to balance social life and work life. Others in your friend circle, especially clubs or groups your apart of, or online peers, may feel a bit ignored or pushed to the side depending on how this manifests for you. Again, balance is key.

Libra: This eclipse will be happening n your 1st house!! Exciting since that house is all about you, your appearance, your first impressions, etc. You'll 100% be hitting different, your energy and looks will shift. Expect an other all refreshment of your life in most areas or areas in which you identify most with. Mars is squaring this eclipse from the 10th house, so your reputation, long term goals and career are in question here. People in career / professional settings will be viewing you differently.. more energetic and driven. OR the flip side of this if you cant harness this energy well, more bossy and frustrating.

Scorpio: This eclipse is happening in your 12th house of endings, restraints, suffering, dreams (while sleeping) and hidden enemies. Jupiter in the 8th house is trining this eclipse. There is an overabundance of hurt and suffering you've endured in the past, and this eclipse is here to fully close out that chapter. Keep on the look out for prophetic dreams! You'll experience pretty profound messages during this time. Your hidden enemies may be revealed curing this time, if you have any. Slightly off from the eclipse, Venus being in your 1st house trining mars in your 9th house while this eclipse is happening tells me that the healing and soul searching you've been doing is actively causing a very physical shift in your appearance. You'll be radiant and glowing!

Sagittarius: This eclipse is happening in your 11th house of social media, community, friend groups and aspirations. There may be a very positive or negative ending to a few relationships, however Jupiter is transiting your 7th house of relationships, business partners and justice making a trining aspect to the eclipse. This tells me that this very much may be an overwhelm of new connections in your life, or an overwhelm of losing connections in your life. Venus is transiting your 12th house of pain, loss, cycles and karma, trining Mars in your 8th house of trauma, endings, and debt. Whatever happens in your friend groups, business partnerships, or love life it may be completely drowned by some heavy emotions you need to heal through first in order to fully see the blessings of your social circle changes. 

Capricorn: This eclipse will be taking place if your 10th house of reputation, long term goals, and career. There's a probable advancement / promotion in your position at your job, especially since Jupiter in the 6th house of discipline and work is making a trine to this eclipse. You’ve proven yourself very well for this promotion!! Venus transiting your 11th house may talk about getting praise from your coworkers or people in your community in general, or even online. Mars transiting your 7th house of relationships, business partners making a square to the solar eclipse makes me feel as if someone tried throwing dirt on your name, or betray you in some way in the past. But you rise above this, and your reputation will actually shift for the better. 

Aquarius: This solar eclipse will be transiting your 9th house of your life’s journey, wisdom, travel, spirituality and lessons. Mars is currently in your 6th house being squared by this solar eclipse, which tells me that you will have a swift change in your career. You may look for something more fun and pleasurable, as well as emotionally and mentally fulfilling for you to engage with, especially with Venus transiting through your 10th house. You may be a bit blinded by your hope and dreams however, so I’d advise you to really sit down and think about how you can positively change your career path in the most secure way possible. Although sometimes we do have to take risks. 

Pisces: This solar eclipse will be transiting through your 8th house of endings, debt, inheritance and trauma. There may be a final ending to something traumatic that you’ve went through. Mars is transiting through your 5th house of fun, pleasure, and sex- making a square to the solar eclipse. This tells me you might feel as if you have acted carelessly in the past, and there may be something you need to own up to for yourself or others. Maybe finding better and less chaotic ways to have fun. You may reflect on sex and intimacy and see how you can engage with it in a new way or heal from traumatic experiences involving those. Venus transiting your 9th house during this ellipse tells me that you are favoring mental and spiritual growth in regards to love and sex, or just finding a love for higher knowledge and personal growth.

I hope you enjoyed this ok im eepy now honk shoo

[angelismmm]

bff head empty but

IL dan heng and dan heng teaming up against you 🤭🤭

୨ ୧ pairing. dan heng il + dan heng x gn!reader

୨ ୧ synopsis. 3some, thats it, i kinda discuss their kinks seperately too

୨ ୧ a/n: i rmeebebe talking abt tis before and how bad i wanted to write ab them just being in a 3some w reader bc 💔💔 update 4-5 days later: wow holy shit idk what possessed me but im writing it now

୨ ୧ warnings. breeding, creampie, 3some, 2 dick dan heng il, sex basically ><, when i say 'hole' in this instance, just take it as like the ass hole, thank you

❀ᴗ͈ ᴗ͈）dan heng il

kind of a meanie honestly.. like sure he's sweet and intimate in the moment but he's quite rough. probably makes you ride his thigh if you smiled at someone else too much

orgasm denial: he probably loves to edge you, the way you just beg him to finish you up already has him as hard as a rock again!!

overstimulates you just to see your pretty little expression go cross-eyed!! i've probably made it kind of clear he likes it when you beg, but please beg him for more and he'll go wild

like i said, he loves it when you beg, something just turns him all the way up when you start to plead for him to go slower, he will go faster, no warning no nothing, just hunger in his eyes

praise kink (giving): he just can't help but praise you when you really are doing so good! the way your hole just clenches around him, not even letting him out, he just knows his good pet wants some more loads inside them!

i just know his tongue is LOOOONG. and he abuses the HELL out of that fact. like when he eats/sucks you off he just knows all the right spots.

unlike dan heng, dan heng il whines a ton, maybe higher pitched moans, but you know, but i just know bro is loud.

back to overstimulation thought train, he would make you cum over and over again 'till tears come out your pretty eyes! probably loves it so much, it's not that when you cry out of stress he gets turned on yk, but when you cry because one of his dicks treat you so good you start to sob your eyes out?! now that! is what turns him on.

literally loves it when you both are done, like he just came another load into you, loves seeing you just so shaken up, just wants you to make you so sensitive a single touch could make you cream on his cock

"oh fuck— you're doing so good for me honey.." he said, lightly grabbing your head farther down his shaft, while your other hand stroked his second cock, precum already dripping down to the floor. he couldn't help but let praise slip past his lips, it's been maybe an hour? roughly 2 sure. he loved the way your pretty head bobbed up and down, taking all of him in, ahh he just loves you so much! might as well reward your pretty mouth with his seed<3

❀ᴗ͈ ᴗ͈）dan heng

probably more on the soft side! would rather die than ever hurt you!!

is all about body worship ngl.. like he'd say that your body is his kink, just everything about it yk?!?!

tbh dan heng just that kind of guy to not really use sex/intimacy as a way to take out his anger on you BUT when he starts to use his mouth on you it's a different story. like he'd suck/eat you out like he hasn't ate anything in DAYSSSS.

dan heng just that kind of guy to praise the hell out of you as well!! literally just wants to tell you how good you've been for him, taking all of him in, just goes crazy for it!!

his moans are angelic as FUCK. like i wish i could say more, if i could i would, but hearing them is like a blessing from heaven itself.

lives for skin-to-skin contact, ngl!!!!!! will kiss you anywhere and everywhere his lips can reach, moans your name so angelically too

his hands will be wandering everywhere too haha, oh but he seriously loves putting hickeys on your precious neck, especially in the most exposed spots that he knows other people will see. but he would never call the pretty marks on your neck hickeys, he'd say they're more like.. love bites!

❀ᴗ͈ ᴗ͈）dan heng il + dan heng :0

it's like having 2 softies being a bit mean too. cuz damn 3 dicks is alot!

and i have 3 holes

and oh boy are you in for a lot.

but first off, let's talk about aftercare! aftercare is important to both of them, they both wanna make sure you're okay yk?!?! constant praise from the both of them too cuz not everyone can take in 3 dicks fr!!!

oh but you guys go on and on and on, like before you guys move on to another round, again, they'll ask if you're still up for it cuz they aren't that mean!! but if you say you are they'll really give you another round, and i mean a really harsh another round.

please please. they both love it when you pull their hair, it's just like, a mutual thing between them. especially when dan heng il is the one doing wonders with that tongue of his.

just mess dan heng's hair up, like um, just make his hair absolutely messy, and he'd fall to his knees and be yours

tbh dan heng probably never expected to threesome with the love of his life, and him..self? idk, just think lik they're 2 diff people for the sake of this fanfic.

dan heng il was so busy with your hole just clenching around his cock, just putting you into a mating press just to see the white circle around his shaft when he pulls out, every now and then, you make eye contact with the cutie across the room on the edge of the bed stroking his cock to the sight of.. i guess himself in a dragon-human form going down on you? well, it doesn't help all that much looking at your boyfriend dan heng for 'help', dan heng il got your hands held down by his tail :P

not rly tagteaming ish, but id rather it be like this than reader getting pounding every way possible

[fiyaerrigan]

wait hang on all of these options sound cool as hell. can i be greedy and get a 🦸‍♂️ and a 🕑, please?

re: this post

(be greedy all you want with these, lol! i know i take forever to answer them but unless i'm really in a slump for the specific fic i WILL try to answer for all the fics included in an ask =D)

🦸‍♂️ for the Superpower AU feat. nonpilot!flying!tommy, mentor!bobby, and a buck who might literally have too much of an effect on the people around him.

Here's some of the aforementioned mentor!bobby, now with a shocking lack of dialogue tags bc i am a lazy fuck!

“You can't force yourself to feel the same as someone else,” “Maybe you can't, old man, but last time I checked, our powers work differently.” “They're similar enough. Why don't I backtrack on that last bit? Maybe then you’ll get it through your thick skull: under no circumstances should you force your empathic abilities. That's how you get people killed.” “C'mon, no one's gonna die because I had to stretch my feelings a little to save them. I'm saving them. It's not like I'm gonna decide it isn't worth it mid-link and leave them to the wolves.” “It wouldn't be up to you. Your version of ‘stretching your feelings’ means putting yourself in danger just to link up to victims we could've reached anyhow. Add the stress you put yourself under to the fact that you can barely get a solid hold on five vics at once—you're gonna wear yourself out sooner or later.” “So you were lying when you told Judge Grant you had faith in me.” “Oh, I wasn't lying, kid. That faith’s just tempered with a healthy dose of skepticism, because for some reason you insist on amping up your fear response to the point where your heart’s two seconds from beating out your chest.” “Don’t exaggerate, okay? I get the memo. I’ll dial it down—a little bit—from now on.”

bone apple teeth? onto the next fic!

🕑 for the Time Traveler!Tommy fic feat. fall out boy title inspo, pre-118 buck, post-breakup tommy, and probably smatterings of the former tommy/abby engagement

this is (unfortunately) just a very small bit of dialogue, but I wanted to post it anyway since I had to sideline @itsthecityoftheflower @the-obnoxious-sibling @sunsetandevningstar and @ladyeyrewrites who all asked for 🕑in a previous post

“Hey,” came a voice to his left, and Tommy’s gut filled with pure, unadulterated dread. “Lakers Guy! Didn't think I'd catch you somewhere without sports coverage." Oh, you had to be shitting him.This was a completely different bar from last time! It was practically on the other side of the continent, as far as L.A. was concerned. “I, uh, had to call it quits at my last job," Evan Buckley Point Zero-Nine explained. "Owner couldn't afford the rent, but that's the beauty of pop-ups, right? I've got guaranteed employment—at least until summer rolls around. Anyways!" He clapped his hands together and slid something over to him. "Here's a drink, o-on the house. Wouldn't wanna make you run out so soon.” Tommy grimaced. Well, I’m gonna be running out anyway. Sorry about that. Himbo Evan was oblivious to the dismissal. And, yes, Tommy had to call this version of Evan a himbo, for the distance it added between them if nothing else. It was only right in this freak reality where his worst nightmares seemed to come true. —Including the nightmares where Tommy had to be an asshole, whether he liked it or not. “Wasn't sure what your typical poison was,” Evan—Himbo Evan—went on, “but I did remember it came in a pretty bespoke-looking bottle—” Here, he shot Tommy a look he definitely didn’t know was flirtatious. “Let's hope my educated guess paid off.”

*meme voice* it's not much, but it's all i have? alas. hoping inspo for this fic comes easier now that i have SOMETHING written down lol

I thrive off feedback please if this makes you feel any way TELL me in the replies or w/e I'm BEGGING youuuuuu

[ren-rambles-often]

Hi Ren,

Please tell us about your favourite fanfiction tropes!

Sorry this took me so long, I was battling with the monster called responsibilities T^T

Honestly speaking, I'm so basic when it comes to tropes it's almost laughable but let's do this!! It's been a long day and I'm in no mood to get jumped so yeah none of my fave 'cest's will be here lol (maybe I'll do a separate post for those hmmmm).

Doing a top 10 cuz any more will require mental strength I definitely don't have. Love all my tropes interchangeably so the order they're in doesn't really mean much, don't take it seriously.

(Except for No.1, it's that high for a reason)

10) Omegaverse: I hated this one SO much when I was in my woke 17 year old fake fujo phase but now I'm literally looking for any reason to read or write it into my fave ships. It doesn't do it for a lot of readers, understandably so bc it's super easy to make cringe or write it poorly but "don't like don't read" It's not that hard.

One of my favorite aspects of omegaverse (or ab//o in general) is the aspect of scents. So much care and symbolism can be put into choosing what one particular character smells like, and it gives a different kind of feeling when done right. I've been getting in gardening lately and boy do plant scents hit different when you're growing them yourself.

Then there's knotting and that should be self explanatory 🤤

9) Cloning/Time travel: This is a particular guilty pleasure that I never see enough of except its a rare doujin or lone fanarts 😭. Like two or three of the same bottoms to one top?! Why does no one see the vision?! Or one of their future or past selves stopping by just because?! Idrc as long as someone is getting tag teamed lol.

8) Fuck or Die/Sex Pollen: these open up a lot of room for dubcon or mindbreak scenarios so I'm definitely down if the chemistry and lead up are just right.

7) Mpreg: Bet y'all expected me to mention this in omegaverse but as I've come to realize there are a lot of ways for mpreg to happen even outside of that. Once you tune out the "yuckie mpreg and watersports" tiktok babies you will be living your best life, trust me.

6) Crossdressing: Putting a male character in a dress is the quickest way to my heart actually. As much as I love maid dresses though, I'm more of a school uniform (not the sailor type) or office wear with short, tight skirts kinda guy.

5) Alternate Universes: Doesn't matter which just give it to me I don't care! It's hard thinking of any AU setting I wouldn't like because taking characters, putting them in a different setting and working out how they'll act in that setting while retaining the essence of their personalities and chemistry is truly an art form I can never get tired exploring.

Royalty/Fantasy aus have been done to death but I'll eat them up regardless. Sci-fi aus, not so much, I'd love to see more. And AUs based on a different show or media to the canon are like up in my top five aus probably right below mafia.

4) Mutual Pining: I fell like there's literally nothing to explain with this one. If they both aren't simping for each other in some way as I'm reading I'm hitting the close tab button, in this house we everyone must be chronically obsessed.

3) Forced Proximity: this goes hand in hand with the mutual pining trope; like sure they don't want to be around each other but that's because the longer they are the deeper they fall.

There's also the bonus of just arguing/banter, I love reading those so much, almost as much as the smut!

2) Getting together: Pre-relationship stuff leading up to the start of intimacy is like the best thing ever, it just adds that extra something that feel like 'yeah, maybe they would start dating like this' or 'yeah, they would have their first time together like that.'

Can't really explain properly but it really does feel like being there for the part most ships might never get in Canon.

1) Enemies/Rivals to Lovers: As much as I enjoy some fluffy-obsessive codependency now and again, what I prefer more is a tension that often comes with one character trying to ruin the other's life or (in the case of rivals) trying to one up each other. There's of course got to be the added bonus of being stupidly attracted to each other and fighting the urges tooth and nail only to succumb.

A lot of my top ships have this special something to them and sometimes when I'm writing aus I can't help cooking up one where they start of as enemies (the destroy your future boywife's kingdom and slaughter his family before taking him as a prisoner type of enemies but don't worry, he never liked that place anyway😋). Sex so good, the fuck did they hate each other for in first place???

Some of those are left either unfinished on ao3 or never see the light over day so question my dedication to the bit all you want but it's my undeniable number one lol.

Well that's about it, I figured I should've just written out the tropes and gotten it over with but I love rambling, it's in the name. Thanks for the fun ask Star (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

[xf-cases-solved]

S2E3: Blood

Case: In, ah—one sec... Franklin, Pennsylvania! It's in Pennsylvania, definitely remembered that on my own accord. Anyway, in Franklin, Pennsylvania, a bunch of people are losing their marbles and murdering people in seemingly random attacks. What ties these crimes together is that right before they went murder hobo, they were in a situation that exacerbated their biggest fears, and also they hallucinated technology telling them to kill, which is very entertaining bc it's the fucking 90s, so the technology is very silly on its own, but is even sillier when it says "KILL 'EM ALL" in big red letters, but I digress. Mulder—with continued secret help from Scully on the side, as well as the Lone Gunmen (!!)—begins to suspect that these killings might actually be related to a pesticide the government is testing on people, but you know how the government gets when you try to claim they're involved in some big conspiracy, la dee da, so it goes.

A man gets laid off work, but that's the least of his problems as technology keeps telling him to kill people; a microwave tells a lady to stab Mulder to death; Mulder gives Frohike Scully's phone number; my notes say there is a handsome cop with nice hair, but I don't know who I was referring to or why I wrote that down; and Mulder's work on the case is ALL DONE. BYE-BYE!

Does someone die in the cold open: He got laid off so he's probably dead inside, but physically everyone is alive. (This does not last long.)

Does Mulder present a slideshow: Still no one to watch. Maybe he makes them for himself and plays them alone in his office and cries.

Does the evidence survive the investigation: Mmmmmmm, not sure. My guess is that the government is planning to get rid of any evidence that they were allowing chemicals to be tested on its citizens, but I'm not sure if Mulder held onto anything or not. I mean, he usually doesn't, so probably not, but -shrug emoji-.

Whodunit: Subliminal messaging caused by a pesticide that the Pennsylvanian government okayed to be tested on the town's residents. I think.

Convictions: None, but the government has to stop spraying people with LSD.

Did they solve it: I'll give it to 'em, why not? Mulder knows what caused it; more or less got a confession, or at least got them to stop doing the thing; and I feel like his report would be one of the less annoying ones he's submitted in his time in the FBI. Good job, Mulder! (And Scully, but unofficially.)

[how do i determine if a case is solved? check the scale here: x]

THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY: Not being a test subject for government issued pesticides. I mean, like... you can try, but in the end, is it really up to you? What is the government testing on you right now? What have you been exposed to against your will? Is it LSD? It might be LSD, but who's to say for certain?  Not being a test subject for government issued pesticides — honestly, you're fucked, so maybe you should just... kill 'em all*... *This company does not endorse homicide, even if those homicidal impulses are the government's fault. Please don't sue us.

𝘔𝘠 II2 17 FBF ANALYSIS PT2

//𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 ii2 17 trailer spoilers :3

2/2

Splitting this into 2 parts was the worst decision ever💔

Anyways-

*We go back to Mecloud with the finalists to see them carelessly thrown into a white padded room. The reason Cobs would need a room like this is unapparent to me. 😭 this is where that zoom in on Suitcase that I didn't mention comes in! (Thanks for putting everything soooo out of order, AE 🤩💜)

They seemed to get out of the cuffs by some means, I believe this is either bc they 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 a way to get them off, or the cuffs were temporary, and popped off when Steve closed that door. There is a hole in this door that I'll mention again (thanks for making my job sooooo easy, AE. 😘/sarc)

We then get a zoom in on Mephone X. Forgot about him! Oopsies!!

One thing I want to notice- 𝘩𝘦'𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦. I think his next victim is someone in purgatory mansion, so, that'll be fun!!

Things are brought back to the Hotel, with a new group of onlookers. Paper is among them, notable because he wasn't in the circle. This is not to say he's 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦, (we know you like to put things out of order, AE🥳), but maybe that will soothe the Paper fans. (Me.)

What we see next is the first ss of part 2 (I used that to sum up all the shots we get of Knife snd Suitcase in that room) as we see knife try to break out. Suitcase is in the back talking to him, but I can see what she might be telling him. Maybe reassurance? It's clear from her face she isn't talking much about how to get out, or at least that's what I think. Oh! And back to the hole in the door, (it's back!! 🎉) we see Steve with his hand on the glass talking into it, presumably to the finalists. And finally time for me to talk about my theories for why his glasses are broken. ↓

In my analysis of the trailer snippet, I talked about how one of the reasons the finalists (and possibly suitcase (now proven also suitcase)) could have been cuffed was if Knife went back to his 'brutish' side, and ACTUALLY punched Steve. THIS SUPPORTS THAT. Ugh I NEED to see that sorry. (Oomfie is hoping he fell flat on his face like a dumbass 💜) but by God please tell me your theories on this.

Things pan back to lightbulb, (presumably before the later circling if I can call it that) I shown with that same leader-like vigor aforementioned. I think this is early on in the episode, as Bomb is shown on the couch playing video games as he was before, AND when the circle was made, the console was unplugged, so it couldn't have been after the fact.

We then go back to the white room, with suitcase walking to (what I believe is) the door, with a less grim look on her face.

I believe this is her with an idea of how to get out, trying to show - a still reluctant to listen to her - Knife.

(Ik I'm being brief with my recapping, I'm tired. 😭)

Back at hotel OJ, we can see Paper yelling at salt. Pepper seems to have a furrow to her eyebrows in the first few frames (this will prolly be my only benefit to doing this frame by frame 💔) suggesting that she's with either Paper or Salt strongly in this argument. They both at some point are pointing (haha) at OJ, or what's left of him, as they talk, making it easy to tell that this conversation is about him. (If that want clear from the fact that OJ is the only influential person that Paper and Salt have in common.)

We get a quick glance back in purgatory mansion on Marshmallow angrily trying to rationalize whatever situation they're in to the rest for who's there. This once again supports the idea the some there has/will die due to Mephone x.

And now guess what time it is

That's right!!

Circle time.

And update!! Mephone is in the center of the circle. Whether he asked the contestants to put him there, or the contestants WANTED him there, is not so clear, though. Lightbulb seems to be storing out of the circle to do something. Also we get a quick jumpscare of suitcase before the scene changes again.

And don't you love AE being so silly? Because it looks like Mephone walking into hotel OJ! When did his ass even leave? We don't know! 🥳🤩🎉 he had a somber look on his face and watch me find out in the episode that he didn't even leave and that he's just standing in front of the door for some reason. ❤

I think that (somewhere in this episode) Bow will make that egg sound again. I mean. Look. ↓

(I'm sorry. I need to piece all of this together after I finish writing this.)

We also see (what I'm almost SURE is) Marshmallow, picking up a TV remote. Don't know why that's important yet. ❤

Back to things that ARE important!

Like Steve cobs sitting in a metal chair, smiling. His glasses are cracked here too. He's most likely looking at the finalists in the stadium we saw at the start.

And if the timeline of this ep wasn't confusing already (it is) it's even more so now! We next see Lightbulb outside of hotel OJ with Baxter and the pen Test tube got her. IMO, it seems like she's going out looking for Paintbrush. The fact that she's clicking the pen like nobody's business supports that tenfold.

Aaannd BACK TO THE STADIUM! We see two cages with either of the finalists open, both with anger splayed on their faces. But I'M more focuses on the background.

What even 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 back there? I'm done questioning why Steve has all of these rooms, because if Walkie talkie is going to take the time to tell Mephone that everything's/one's made for him, I'd believe it that she wasn't lying. 💀🙏

Once again to prove that they AREEE fighting to the death (I'm so sorry😭) suitcase takes a stance that she settles into as she exits. ;↓

I know my theory isn't strong, but I don't have much to work with here man.

After one last look at Steve on his desk chair with his glasses cracked, the trailer wraps up with a date in our faces.

And GODD AM I PUMPED! so sorry this was so long, and PLEASE Yap to me about this. I need to talk inanimate insanity or I will explode.
