In The Woods Somewhere

Jakob kneels at the river bank, hands resting on the silty layer of soil just below the water’s surface. The coolness of the mountain water is soothing as it threads over his skin. His eyes are closed and his ears are tuned to the sounds of the gentle stream. It’s too early for the birds to share their songs, and he’s desperate for a distraction from the nightmare that had terrorized him minutes before. He’s tempted to dunk himself entirely, to chill the unpleasant warmth that comes with adrenal surge, but he knows that would be dangerous when his fire had been allowed to burn out.

He’s currently alone. His animal companions have been distant lately. They don’t attempt to threaten his safety, but they seem avoidant. Perhaps he’s closer to the city than he realizes- after all he’s traveling on memory, his damn map had been ruined by the recent rain. 

The throbbing of his head isn’t as thunderous as it had been when he initially roused, but it aches residually. His stomach churns as his thoughts drift. He really shouldn’t be leaving his camp alone, not when it’s occupied with goods to sell. Fine pelts, preserved meats, leather work- a season’s worth of effort in one place. His visit to the nearest market has a dual purpose, but he isn’t sure he can stomach visiting her gravemarker. In a few days, it will be two years since her death. Jakob finds it hard to believe it will bring him any comfort to visit an empty plot, but he knows it would be spineless of him to acquiesce fully to her parents, both of whom have threatened him before. 

He… he doesn’t blame them. As much as his heart aches with the thought, he knows that he failed her that night- but it wasn’t just her that he had failed.

Jakob sighs, gently shaking the string of thoughts out of his head. He can’t afford to spiral, not when he knows the stress makes him vulnerable to the second occupant of his body. There’s an instant regret of acknowledging them, the power they hold over him. He knows he doesn’t remember everything about what happened, his memory too shattered by the creature’s bond. The elf’s headache worsens and his brow furrows as he lifts a hand to rub the center of his forehead, his fingers meeting the rough patch of star shaped scar tissue.

The elf is stubborn, though, and pushes himself to stand. He needs to get ready to move, and to emotionally prepare himself for the gawking he’s sure to receive for his unusual appearance. As his thoughts forcibly drift back to his errands for the day, the brewing pressure beyond his brow begins to ease and settle. 

But there’s another problem. As he begins to make his way back through the brush leading to his camp, something feels.. off. He slows his progress to a  careful creeping pace, and he realizes why. He hears in the distance the sound of a voice talking. There’s a certain burning in his head, followed by a familiar sense of dread. He’s far enough out of the way of any main paths that he shouldn't be hearing anyone, especially not at this hour. 

He’s careful as he approaches, peering through the thick forest. From here, he can see someone in the center of his camp, looking through the leather backpack he had left. They appear to be alone, talking to themselves. Jakob only has his knife on him, his bow and quiver left near his extinguished campfire, He wasn’t ignorant enough to leave his goods completely exposed, most of the more valuable items tucked away in the surrounding brush, but having someone snooping around isn’t exactly a good sign.

The elf moves to pull his dagger from its sheath, but hesitates. He doesn’t know who they are or what they are capable of, or if they even deserve his ire. His calloused fingers twitch before wrapping around the antler hilt of the knife. He’s pressed to admit he’d be more likely to kill them if he just had his bow on him. The distance would be safer and easier for a multitude of reasons, but it wouldn’t be fair of him- even if drawing attention to himself by speaking to them could be disastrous.

“Shh-ouldn’t touch th-ings. That. Aren’t, yours.”

The elf is comically short for his blood, just over five feet tall. He’s thin and tired looking, with dark eyes and bags beneath them. His hair is in a loose braid with a few choppy fringes of hair that frame his sharp features. A pair of antlers branch near his temples, more tree-like than belonging to a creature. Jakob’s wearing his resting clothes, but even now he wears her scarf. It rests loosely around his collar, appearing well used and loved. From where the stranger is standing, they can’t see the knife he’s holding at his side.

w/ the release of act 2, it seems that nobody is asking the big questions such as:

where is ekko?

if viktor died once and came back after a few days of being in the sourdough starter, does that count as his three-day jesus resurrection?

if the above is true and he's dead again, are we about to witness the second coming?

do we think cait and vi had enough time in between tousling around in the dirt and planning their little ambessa betrayal to have a quickie?

if the 'get jinxed' song is canon within the arcane universe, was that a self-titled mixtape she released or is it just a famous pop song that everyone was getting down to... good marketing either way

where is ekko.

was it mel's mystery magic/connection to the arcane that saved her (and by jayce by proxy since he was standing so close) from jinx's rocket?

jayce.... no bitches ....

where is ekko????

where the hell is ekko?????????????

i believe nix should legally be allowed in every d.ominion verse to comment on the fact everybody has taken to the term '8 balls' for lower angels and especially pester his older siblings for it

Harumasa's health after his agent story

Let's be real here, his master's cure definitely changed things for him.

Probably in both a good and bad way.

Good because it literally saved his life and most likely bought him time so he might actually see past 26, though that's my headcanon since the game makes it clears that even the doctors have no ideas either.

Bad because well, it definitely most likely changes Harumasa's habits and gives him probably even more fear and anxiety to worry about.

Hear me out.

Harumasa is used to taking a lot of pills and most likely knows the patterns to his illness by now.

But with this cure he injected into himself?

It probably will change a lot of things for him.

I mean, for starters, if it controls his illness well, does that means he needs to have some changes in his prescriptions? Will he have new symptoms or something?

I can imagine Harumasa freaked the hell out when he awoke in the hospital after dealing with Kirishima and wondered what the heck was going on and how was he still alive because he was pretty sure he was a goner.

And then when his doctors told him he got better on his own he probably had a little mental breakdown because no way that happened and the doctors must have found a miracle treatment or something because his illness was really killing him there and with his master's "drug" he definitely thought of himself as a dead man.

Later, when finally getting through his head that he is really alive and well, he starts freaking out more because for once he doesn't hurt anywhere and it's probably the healthiest he's ever been and given he was on death's door he can't help but be extremely paranoid about his being alive and well and is scared to hell and back about what it means. Like did his illness mutate when he injected himself the drug? Is it just the calm before the storm? Is he about to get much worse? Could he suddently have worse symptoms than before? I imagine him being afraid of suddently having a seizure just like that because of the drug.

Also I see him not being in the best mental state when he wakes up because he just had about the most stressful week of his life, pursuing his master only to find out he turned into an ethereal right before he could find him which also means his years of searching for him for answers amounts to have been for nothing and losing the only person he could consider family after his parents abandoned him, having to fight him to the death while his illness was acting up badly, dealing with Kirishima, trying to save the kids, trying to get the drug before Kirishima, and then sacrificing himself so no one else would suffer like he did and to stop Kirishima for good, and then miraculously surviving and being healthier than he can remember most likely. His survival is something that happens in movies, not to him and not in real life, but the facts are there and he can't refute them so he does lose his mind a bit about it before he finally calms down.

So I headcanon that the first couple of days he stayed in the hospital and the others he stayed at home to get time to process everything before going back to work to be warmly welcomed back by his teammates and the proxy.

I bet he had a long talk about his doctor about how to proceed forward since his miraculous brush with death, like should they change his prescription, should he takes more or less pills, should he probably retire, should he takes a long vacation, and probably wanted to be tested for everything thrice just to be sure that there would be no surprises.

You're not gonna make me believe he was just fine after almost dying, he probably really was scared out of his mind afterwhat and only pulled through after much reassurances from the doctors that he was doing fine for now and that he could relax.

I mean, in his place I would be scared beyond belief as well, given the situation.

I should probably try to make a fic about it, unless someone else wants to do it, feel free to ask if you want it I'll happily let you have it first come first served.

You never notice just how absolutely absurd good GW is at making miniatures until you have to paint something that's not a GW mini or not specifically created to emulate a GW mini (like my Kroot proxies).

I just painted up seven player figures of the starter classes of Frosthaven, a board game that clearly was sold as a game and mechanic system first, with the miniatures as a "We put some through our neighbours 3D printer have fun"-type of afterthought.

Don't get me wrong, Frosthaven and its predecessor Gloomhaven are absolute delights for my friend circle, but the contrast is just insane. Some miniatures look almost nothing like the singular aviable artwork, the print quality makes features disappear at times, and oh boy some of them clearly should have gone through some Q&A iterations because that's not how eyes on a face should be alligned.

You don't notice it as is, but the moment you try to paint them up... yikes. Also they are so SMALL. They literally could have kept the base size and just increase everything else by 20% on most miniatures and it would be SO much easier to work with.

I have never been so happy to just have some simple clear-cut CSM-trim up next on my to-paint list.

Chapter Four

(Prev//Next) (@starillusion13 @yizhou-time @hannahdinse8)

Prompt: You were a princess in name alone. Unable to perform any of the duties that come with the title. It seemed to be your destiny to live a quiet life. That is until you met someone who refused to see you silenced. Perhaps your fate was wrong all along.

“Sneaking into the princess’ quarters during the day shouldn’t be too much trouble.”

“I know she has no guards, but she’s not completely alone during the day.”

“From what I’ve gathered, we only have a small handful of people to worry about.”

“So then, what is your plan for them?”

“For starters, if you’re willing, you could ask San for a favor.” Hongjoong stated. “As a scholar, San would have the authority to request the princess’ eunuch help him with errands. That way someone you know would keep the eunuch busy and be aware of his current movements. Of course this would only be necessary for the days you wish to visit.”

“Hm, I see your point. Although it is risky to ask such a thing. Wooyoung seems reliable and doesn’t ask questions. San on the other hand…”

“The eunuch isn’t too much of a problem. Now that the princess is confined to her quarters, her eunuch only visits her when the King requests her presence for the royal family gatherings. Those tend to happen on a predictable basis, so the eunuch isn’t really any trouble.”

“Indeed. What of the court ladies?”

“They visit the princess at certain times every day, following a routine. In order to ensure your privacy, Wooyoung could keep an eye on the ladies, making sure they don’t spontaneously return to interrupt you. The two tend to stick together, so it would be easy for Wooyoung to charm them and keep them occupied until they return to their duties.”

“Then that just leaves you as my look-out, simple enough.”

“Unfortunately that’s not the case.”

“What else is there?”

“The royal family. The King has never once visited the princess, and has no reason to. The Queen only ever visits the princess when something happens, or perhaps after a family gathering, but the Crown Prince, he visits sporadically. Of course his visits aren’t as frequent given his current studies, but they are unpredictable. A day you choose to visit could coincidentally be the day he does too, and I cannot fathom the consequences.”

“Hm… so the real problem is the Crown Prince. Everyone else, even the princess’ court ladies and eunuch, keep a distance. He is the only one who cares to see her.”

“Apologies for not having a solution.”

“There’s no need for that. The Crown Prince may visit the princess on a whim, but there are certain days he cannot do that. Since I am to foster a friendship with him, I should know when those days are. Then we can plan accordingly.”

“That should work.”

“It should, but let’s not be hasty. Tell Wooyoung to get friendly with the court ladies, I’ll see if San is reliable. We’ll go from there.”

Seonghwa did like his odds with this plan, as he could have all his bases covered, but he knew patience was important. For the time being he continued making visits at night when he could, and had Wooyoung report to him about his progress. San wasn’t a necessary part of his plan, but he did want to see if he could be trusted. What Seonghwa needed most was people on his side, at the moment all he had was Hongjoong, and Wooyoung by proxy. 

“I didn’t think I’d be seeing much of you.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“I’ve heard all about you and the Crown Prince.” San commented. “You are a Park after all.”

“Yeah, but that’s different. We’re friends, I’d rather spend time with you.”

“Then why not a night out? I bet you could use one.”

“That doesn’t sound like a bad idea, but I’m rather busy at night.”

“I bet.”

“What does that mean?”

“I’m not blind, Seonghwa. I know you’re busy during the day but you’re clearly not getting enough sleep at night. So, my guess, you’re seeing someone. Specifically you’re sneaking around. I presume you don’t want your father knowing.”

“You can say that…”

“So, are you gonna tell me who it is? Wait, are you and Hongjoong-”

“No! San, please.”

“It was just a thought… then who?”

“I can’t say.”

“Hm, why not? You worried I’m gonna tell your father?”

“Would you?”

“Why would I? I’m not acquainted with your father, and what kind of friend would I be if I screwed you over in regards to love.”

“In that case… you could help me with something.”

“Ah, what is it?”

“As a scholar I’m sure you’re busy, so why not bother an eunuch to help you out. I know just the one who’s always looking for some work.”

“Who would that be?”

“The princess’ eunuch.”

“The… wait… are you seeing…”

“…”

“Seonghwa!”

“Quiet!”

“Oh my gosh, I cannot… actually, I can… wow… that explains a lot…”

“Is it obvious…?”

“Honestly, not really. Others might think you’re staying up late to finish something important, but I know you’re a hard worker who wouldn’t sacrifice sleep for such a thing. So of course it has to be about a lover.”

“I guess I can’t fool you.”

“Hardly. If anyone was ever going to marry the princess, it would be you.”

“Why would you say that?”

“Come on, you’re the history enthusiast here. You know how things work when it comes to a princess. Her marriage tends to be some sort of arrangement for power, but lords aren’t exactly eager to be a brother-in-law to the future king, even if their family benefits. Besides, the princess is ill, so it’s likely the royal family won’t bother marrying her off.”

“So then where do I come in?”

“Well, with all that information, if anyone was ever going to approach the princess and want to marry her, it would be out of genuine love. You’re the only person that comes to mind.”

“Really?”

“You knew each other when you were kids, and you’re a Park. It kinda makes sense.”

“That’s where you’re wrong, I’m afraid.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I knew of her in my youth, but never truly met her until now. Also, because I’m a Park I shouldn’t get involved with the royal family in such a way. My father and the King have done great things for the nation, if both families were to become in-laws, other ministers and scholars could argue it’s a conflict of interest.”

“Hm, I see. For generations the Parks and Jeongs have simply worked together but if they were to become family and continue with their current roles, it could get messy. No wonder you’re being so careful, you really don’t want your father to know.”

“He knows.”

“He does!”

“It’s why my father has been piling on my work. He’s trying to keep me busy.”

“Ah, and you’re still going against him, huh?”

“I’m not gonna let him get in my way.”

“So why do you need me to distract the princess’ eunuch? I thought you did night visits?”

“I want to change that.”

“Oh, I see… are you sure that’s a good idea?”

Seonghwa threw a glare. “What do you mean?”

“Well, the Crown Prince visits every now and then, what if he catches you? Actually, aren’t you and the Crown Prince getting acquainted? How’s he gonna feel when he finds out you want to marry the princess?”

“I’ve already considered all that, so you don’t need to worry. I just need to know if you’re on my side, if you’ll help me.”

“Sure, I don’t see why not. I benefit from this, although I want something in return.”

“I’m sure it’s within reason, right?”

“Of course. I just want you to tell me about your dates.”

“San!”

“Come on, I want to know. The princess is such a mystery, and you’re over here sneaking around to see her, it’s so romantic. Please. I can keep a secret.”

“Fine, but if rumors start going around, I will take your head.”

“Deal! So, tell-”

“Later.”

“Awe, come on, just a little snippet. What are her quarters like?”

“Do you like the princess or something?”

“No, no, I’m not gonna steal your girl. I just want to know about the person who’s stolen your heart. That’s all.”

“She… she has her own garden. It’s more beautiful than the royal one.”

“Ah, cute.”

With every base covered things could move forward in Seonghwa’s plan. He wanted to build a good foundation before trying anything. Of course the final part was to figure out when the Crown Prince would be out of his way. At least once or twice a week he’d go to the Crown Prince’s library, simply socializing or discussing current policies. It was more of a mental exercise for the two as they had no say on the matters yet, but it was important to keep up appearances. Eventually Seonghwa got what he wanted.

“I’ll be gone for a few days, so you don’t have to come and find me.”

“Oh, traveling? I heard you haven’t left the palace in quiet some time.”

“Precisely. My father believes it’s best to visit some of the areas outside the palace, see how the people live. I agree. If I am to be King one day, I need to better understand my subjects.”

“That’s a good mentality to have.”

“If you’d like to join me, I don’t see either of our fathers opposing the idea.”

“I’ve lived outside of the palace for a long time, I’m not quiet ready to leave it.”

“I see, perhaps another time.”

“We’ll have plenty more chances for adventures in the future.”

Seonghwa relayed the information to Hongjoong, deciding the day the Crown Prince left was the day he’d visit. Everything was prepared accordingly, and on the chosen day Seonghwa was up before sunrise, going into the markets to pick up a gift and little cakes he had wanted to give you before. As he returned he wound up running into the Crown Prince on his way out.

“I didn’t expect you’d see me off.”

“That wasn’t my intention, but it’s a pleasant encounter. Safe travels, your highness.”

“Thank you, I’ll see you when I return.”

“Until then.”

Seonghwa bowed and waited until the Crown Prince and his entourage were gone. He was excited for the day, eager to see the look on your face. By now San was already giving tasks to the eunuch, and he knew Wooyoung had been getting very friendly with the court ladies. As Seonghwa and Hongjoong made their way to the princess’ quarters he could see Wooyoung and the two court ladies walking together, all laughing.

“I’ll let you know when lunch time is approaching, otherwise, you should have no interruptions.”

“Excellent.”

♦♦♥♦♦

Before leaving Yunho had come to pay you a visit, letting you know he’d be away from the palace for a while. You were a bit jealous that he got to go out and see the world, but he promised to come tell you stories when he got back. You wanted to see him off, but you knew if the Queen caught wind of you sneaking out things would somehow get worse for you. Instead you’d just wait for your brother to return. You figured that perhaps you’d see a bit more of Seonghwa, but you could only hope.

“Princess…”

You heard a whisper as you were eating breakfast, looking around in confusion. You thought maybe you were hearing things but then you heard a knock. Your window was open, which only made things stranger. Then you noticed the silhouette of a person at your door. For a moment you panicked, and then the doors slid open, revealing a familiar face. Your eyes went wide and everything clicked into place.

“Seonghwa!?”

“Good morning, princess.”

“What are you doing here!?” You jumped to your feet. “Seonghwa! What if someone sees you!?”

“I’ve already taken care of everything. No one’s going to bother us.”

“But-”

“Wooyoung is with your court ladies, and San is keeping your eunuch busy today. Hongjoong is my lookout and the Crown Prince is out of the palace. Who could possibly discover us?”

“… you… you really thought of everything… you’re really here…”

“I told you I wanted to see you during the day, and nothing was going to stop me.”

You were still nervous about this whole ordeal, but the more you thought about it the more you were in awe. He had all the important people out of the way. Only misfortune would interrupt this moment. You laughed with joy and hugged Seonghwa tight, still finding the whole scene unbelievable. Seonghwa hugged you back, rubbing circles along your back.

“Alright, alright, you still need to eat breakfast. It’s one of the most important meals of the day.”

“Wait, what about you!? Aren’t you hungry?”

“I’m alright, plus I brought you something.” Seonghwa revealed a small bag, the smell coming from it was divine. “These are fresh from the market.”

“The market? You mean outside the palace?”

“Yes. I woke up extra early to get them for you. I hope you like them.”

“Seonghwa, you didn’t have to.”

“Of course I did, today is a very special day.”

With your mind at ease you happily welcomed Seonghwa to share a meal with you. It made you so giddy you couldn’t contain your smile. Seonghwa insisted on feeding you, wanting you to eat some proper food before you tried the little cakes he had brought. They tasted just as good as they smelled. This was your first time eating something from outside the palace and it was so good.

“Tell me, how does palace food compare to outside food?”

“Hm, I’d say palace food is good and healthy, but there are so many other foods out there that are just so delicious. These little cakes for one you won’t find in here.”

“Wow, I can only imagine the type of foods you’ve had growing up.”

“I’ll see if maybe I can bring you some.”

“You don’t think I could maybe sneak out with you?”

“Ah, weren’t you the one talking about how dangerous it was for me to be here during the day, and now you want to sneak out of the palace?”

“I didn’t think you’d actually figure out a way to sneak in here. Maybe you could get me out of the palace… then again, you’d be in big trouble if we got caught.”

“I’ll think about it though. Sneaking you out at night would be far easier, but the problem will always be the Crown Prince.”

“I know. He won’t be around for a while.”

“So I can come see you lots more.”

After you finished eating you took your medicine, your grimace making Seonghwa chuckle. You both enjoyed the rest of the cakes out in your garden while cuddling atop a blanket. Seonghwa was glad to see you bask in the sun, getting to see you in a new light. Time seemed to move so fast that before he knew it Hongjoong was signalling to him that it was almost noon, and he had to leave.

“Are you gonna visit me tomorrow?”

“I’d like to, but I have to see how everything went today first.”

“Alright, but either way, today was wonderful.”

“I agree. Before I go, I do have a gift for you.”

“A gift?”

“Something to commemorate such a day.”

Seonghwa revealed a small pouch, pulling out a necklace from it. The gold sparkled in the sunlight, and hanging from the chain was a beautiful sun and moon cradled together.

“It’s beautiful, Seonghwa.”

“Then it will match you well.”

Seonghwa moved your hair aside and placed the necklace on you, enjoying the happiness on your face. Being gifted flowers was one thing, but something like this was new.

“I love it.”

“I’m glad you do. I hope it reminds you of me and keeps you company while I am away.”

“Thank you. It’s wonderful!”

You hugged Seonghwa tightly, not wanting him to go, but you knew he had to. You had taken up his morning, and surely he had things to do as well. You were grateful for the time he gave you, and looked forward to more day time visits. Seonghwa didn’t want to leave you either. He could simply hide while your court ladies brought you lunch, but he can’t push his luck on the first day. As he held you in his arms he buried his face in the crook of your neck. Your scent was so faint, it was practically nonexistent, but with his sharp nose he could pick up on the slightest hint of honey sweetness. One day he really wanted to know your scent, but that was a whole other conversation. Although as he held you he picked up on something strange.

Concern immediately showed on his face, but you didn’t see it. Perhaps he was mistaken, but this was such a strange thing to randomly come to mind. He pushed it aside and made sure to part ways on a good note, promising to visit soon. Afterwards he gathered with his people, asking how things went on their end. For Wooyoung nothing of note happened. The ladies did their duty and spent their free time lounging around. Since they were important to the princess they couldn’t be given orders by others, unless such orders came from the King and Queen themselves. As for San, he seems to have made a new friend. The eunuch preferred the consistency of helping one person than just being yanked around all day.

“So the day was a success?”

“I’d say so.”

After lunch Seonghwa returned to his usual tasks. Hongjoong remained by his side, finishing up his own meal.

“Will you be visiting again tomorrow?”

“I want to, but I’d like to try in the afternoon.”

“You mean after lunch?”

“Yes, get a feel for both times and see what works best.”

“That shouldn’t be much of a problem.”

“I don’t think so either. Hongjoong, may I ask for your opinion on something?”

“Such as?”

“The princess expressed a desire to sneak out of the palace. Do you think such a thing is plausible?”

“I think you know the answer. It’s very well possible, but realistically only at night. Even then, doing such a thing is extremely risky. She is still a princess, and if something were to happen, or you get caught, we could all end up dead.”

“I know. I don’t wish to put her in danger but the idea of stepping out of the palace really made her eyes light up. She’s been a prisoner here her whole life, and her cage has only gotten smaller as of late.”

“It’s not really possible now, but when you accomplish your goal, you could certainly venture out together with all the necessary precautions.”

“When? You truly believe in my desires?”

“I do. Either I’ll address you as your majesty one day, or we’ll be buried in the ground. I welcome whichever outcome destiny bestows upon us.”

“I agree.”

♦♦♥♦♦

Seonghwa felt confident with an afternoon visit, planning accordingly and surprising you once more. You welcomed him, and shared a meal once again, enjoying each other’s company out in your garden. This time around Seonghwa brought some of his work, wanting to do something rather mundane with you. The idea was wonderful as it made you feel normal, and less alone. As Seonghwa read his books and jotted down notes you were painting at his side. You wanted to paint him, but you couldn’t do it in secret. If anything you’d ask him about it so he could dress up if he wanted to.

Seonghwa did prefer the early visits, being one of the first people to see you in the morning. He could get you fresh pastries from the market and brighten your day. As he got a bit more comfortable and confident he began sneaking in the moment the court ladies were gone. That way the two of you had as much time as possible. Although something had been bothering him, and he was only aware of it in the morning. He thought he had just been imagining things, but after the first time he made a point to look out for it, and he never failed to find it. Now he just needed to find the source. He had tried to be discrete about it, but you only ever watched him, so of course you’d notice.

“What’s wrong, Seonghwa?”

“… nothing, it’s nothing.”

“I don’t believe that. What is it? I mean…” You took a moment. “I can tell something is up, and if I can help I would like to, but I understand if you don’t want to share…”

“No, no, it’s not that… I don’t want to worry you.”

“What would I worry about?”

“I… when I’m here… in the morning… I keep catching this faint scent of wolfsbane.”

“Wolfsbane? That’s impossible. The only wolfsbane in the palace is in the armory. You haven’t been around there, have you?”

“No. I have no reason to, but it’s bothering me.”

“I don’t smell anything, but then again my senses don’t really work.”

“It’s alright. I could be crazy, but I do want to figure this out.”

“Well, you’re more than welcome to search my quarters if it’ll ease your worries.”

“I don’t want to rummage around your things, that’s incredibly rude.”

“If it helps you I don’t mind.”

“I appreciate that but… have you been feeling alright lately?”

“That depends on what you mean by alright. I haven’t really gotten any worse, or better.”

“Hm…”

“You think you’re getting it from the food? Maybe a guard or something was in the kitchen and the scent of wolfsbane lingered.”

“I haven’t really gotten the scent from there. I’ve also eaten your food before too and nothing ever seemed off with it.”

“Then let’s try something else.”

You moved the table aside, getting closer to Seonghwa and taking his hands in yours. He wasn’t sure what you had in mind, but he’d play along.

“Close your eyes and focus on your sense of smell. I know you said the scent was faint, but with your nose maybe you can find the source.”

“Perhaps.”

“Try it.”

Seonghwa did as you asked, closing his eyes and focusing on his sense of smell. He honed in on the smells of your room, identifying them and moving past them. When he caught a faint whiff of wolfsbane he slowly moved his head. You noticed his actions and let go of his hands, letting him follow the scent. Seonghwa did just that, getting on his hands and knees and moving carefully until he hit a table. He opened his eyes and saw a small bowl, traces of some mysterious liquid lingering.

“What is this?”

“That’s my medicine.”

“Medicine?”

“Yes. I take it every morning. It’s a mix of herbs and stuff. It has a bitter taste, so I take it first before eating.”

  Seonghwa picked up the bowl, taking in a deep breath. He could smell wolfsbane, but he couldn’t be one hundred percent sure this was it. After putting the bowl down he moved closer to you, leaning in and making you move back a bit. When he had initially caught the scent of wolfsbane it had been while close to you. Now that he was following the scent he was led to you again. He wasn’t sure if it was just his fears or not, but he could smell wolfsbane coming from your lips.

“Does the medicine help you?”

“It keeps me healthy. I haven’t gotten worse so I guess it’s working. Why?”

“Don’t drink it tomorrow morning, wait for me.”

“Huh? Seonghwa-”

“Please.”

“You think there’s wolfsbane in my medicine?”

“I don’t know, but I can check tomorrow. Promise you won’t drink it until I come by.”

“Alright, I promise.”

“Good girl.”

Seonghwa hoped he was wrong about this, because just thinking about it was making him worry. The next day couldn’t come fast enough but when it did Seonghwa was with you bright and early. You were of course happy to see him, but you knew he had something else on his mind. You handed him the little bowl that held your medicine, not having a drop of it. He smelled the contents, getting an earthy smell, and he had to admit it really did smell like medicine. Although he did also catch a tiny hint of wolfsbane. He didn’t really ask, but decided to take a sip anyway.

“Seonghwa-”

Before you could finish your words Seonghwa spit out the medicine, a grimace on his face. You could have reminded him of the bitter taste before he did such a thing, but then he merely tossed out the bowl’s contents into your yard.

“Seonghwa! Are you insane!”

“Don’t drink that.”

“Seonghwa!”

“There’s wolfsbane in your medicine.”

“What?”

“I know you probably can’t tell with your senses all numbed up, but I tasted it. You shouldn’t be drinking that.”

“There is no way there’s wolfsbane in my medicine! You’re crazy.”

“I know it sounds that way, but you have to believe me. I may have tasted a bit, but it was there, I’m certain of it.”

“Seonghwa, it’s medicine, and I need it!”

“Do you? Tell me, since you’ve started taking it, have you actually gotten better?”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Think about it, has it actually helped you? Or made things worse?”

“I… I… well… it didn’t really help when I first started taking it… but that was just my body adjusting to the medicine, it doesn’t mean anything.”

“It could.” Seonghwa grabbed your shoulders. “Don’t take the medicine anymore.”

“Seonghwa, I can’t just-”

“Just for a bit, see what happens.”

“Seonghwa…”

“I know, I know.” Seonghwa cradled your face. “What I’m asking is insane, and a lot, but I need you to trust me here. I’m terrified of what this means.”

As crazy as this all sounded, you could tell Seonghwa was being sincere. You didn’t like this, but you’d trust him for now. Besides, you were already skipping your medicine today. There was no way you could get another serving without raising suspicion. Seonghwa hugged you tightly, wanting to make the most of the time you had left, even if he had certainly spoiled the mood. You both did your best to put this behind you, just glad to be in each other’s company. Not to mention your brother would be returning soon, so your days were numbered.

“I’ll be by tomorrow, you’ll keep your promise, right?”

“I will. Promise.”

“Good. I’ll see you tomorrow then.”

“Until then.”

Seonghwa left after putting a smile on your face. Once outside your quarters he was greeted by Hongjoong. Although the boy noticed the serious look on his face.

“I heard a bit of a commotion earlier, is everything alright?”

“No. I need you to investigate who is in charge of the princess’ medicine and meals.”

“Is something wrong?”

“I believe someone is poisoning the princess, has been for years.”

♦♦♥♦♦

You were worried about Seonghwa. Everything he had said, you didn’t want to believe him, but all you could do was trust him. Your sense didn’t work the way they were supposed to. As far as you knew the medicine didn’t even have a smell, yet he could pick up on the details, and even taste wolfsbane. In all honesty you were scared. If you didn’t take your medicine you had no idea what would happen to you. All your life you had been so weak and powerless, believing the medicine you took gave you what little strength you had. Seonghwa didn’t see it that way, and he had no reason to lie to you. He was going to look into things, so you just had to be patient and wait for news. It was probably gonna drive you insane until then.

♦♦♥♦♦

Even though Seonghwa had Hongjoong looking into the situation, there were other things he could do. There was someone he had wanted to meet for a while now, and he finally had a good reason too. When he had a moment in the afternoon he went off to look for a physician. He knocked at the door, getting the attention of the gentleman present. 

“Hello, I’m looking for a physician.”

“Ah, Lord Park, it’s an honor to meet you.” The gentleman bowed. “I’m physician Kang, how can I help you?”

“Aren’t you a royal physician?”

“I am, but considering who your father is, I’m at your service as well.”

“Oh, lucky me. I’ve simply been feeling under the weather and wanted a professional opinion.”

“Of course, come with me and have a seat.”

For privacy’s sake, Seonghwa was led into another room. He took a seat as the physician began his examination.

“Physician-”

“You can just call me Yeosang if that’s easier for you.”

“Yeosang then. I must say, you’re pretty young to be a physician, a royal one at that.”

“I’ve always wanted to heal others, ever since I was little. I studied hard and now here I am.”

“You must be very good to be where you are.”

“I believe so, but I also have some favor with the Crown Prince.”

“Ah, you must be good friends. No wonder he trusts you to attend to him and his family.”

“I’m just doing my job at the end of the day.”

“I suppose you have your hands full dealing with the princess’ illness. I’m sure you take good care of her. I haven’t had a chance to see her since she stopped going on her walks.”

“Just a precaution. Her health is of utmost importance.”

“Really? I’ve heard rumors that the Queen isolated her out of shame.”

“You surely know the palace staff like to gossip.”

“True. How is she though, doing well?”

“Of course.”

“Does she need anything? I’ve wanted to send gifts but I’m not sure what’s appropriate. Do certain medicines work better than others for her?”

“You don’t need to worry about her health, it’s well taken care of. Other gifts would be better to lift her spirits.”

“Hm. Then I guess you must be busy everyday with her medicine.”

“I don’t prepare her medicine.”

“What? You’re her physician though, aren’t you?”

“Yes, but she is royalty. Something of such importance is to be handled by those above me. I know the recipe in case I ever need to prepare it, but that hasn’t come up.”

“At least you’re prepared. I’m glad to know the princess is in good hands.”

Seonghwa left having more questions than answers. At least he hoped Hongjoong had some information. Later in the evening the two met up, sharing a meal and enjoying the quiet atmosphere.

“How was your visit to the physician?”

“Uneventful. I was wrong in believing the physician was involved. Although it only creates more questions. Did you find anything?”

“Not exactly. Since Wooyoung has gotten close to the court ladies I asked him to investigate a bit. He informed me that the court ladies merely pick up the food as everything is prepared by certain employees beforehand.”

“Do you know who?”

“From what I gathered, it seems to be the Queen’s people who deal with the meals and medicine of the princess. It’s not entirely odd, the Queen does the same for the Crown Prince when he is here, but…the Queen herself approves of the food, and her people hand it over to the court ladies. No one else seems to come in contact with it from there.”

“So… it’s the Queen…”

“You don’t seriously think the Queen has been trying to kill her own daughter?”

“Considering all she’s done, and how she treats the princess, is it really that hard to believe?”

“If she really wanted to, she could have done so a long time ago? Why the small doses of wolfsbane then? Why drag it out?”

“I’m not sure, perhaps to make it appear more natural. The princess has been sick since she was a child, many believe the fact she’s still alive today to be some miracle. If she began to slowly deteriorate and then pass away, who would possibly think foul play?”

“Would anyone truly think the princess was murdered if she passed away today?”

“Hongjoong.”

“Apologies, I’m just trying to understand. It doesn’t make sense… dragging it out is just torturous, who would benefit from this?”

“The royal family is meant to be strong, the fact she’s still alive is proof of that, although perhaps this has nothing to do with her.”

“What?”

“The only person who cares for her is the Crown Prince. I wouldn’t put it beneath the Queen to make the princess’ death look more natural for his sake. If anyone would want an investigation, or could even get one, it would be him. If he can accept her death with his own senses as being natural, no one would be the wiser.”

“Would the Queen really do such a thing?”

“Regardless of her reasoning, I don’t doubt it.”

“Are you really gonna tell the princess about this? What if you’re wrong?” 

“Maybe I am, but I won’t hide this from her. She deserves to know what we do and come to her own conclusions.”

They're so sick for this

& was gonna originally leave it in the tags but then I liked it so why not:

I do think this parallel helps contextualize why Claudia's offer is there in the narrative beyond just characterization "she knows this is a loss the boys have experienced, and there is possible room to convince them," or beyond "I doubt they're going to bring Harrow back fully (if at all) so why tease it" and well: I think this parallel is exactly why.

For starters, there's the sheer difference in presentation that help to contrast and compare Callum and Claudia as characters. More importantly for next season, I think, is that it ties together Claudia wanting to save her father is what led to her working with Aaravos in the first place versus Callum wanting to free Rayla's parents likely being something that is just going to put him further on Aaravos' dark path of destiny for him, if not outright lead to disaster. The road to ruin is paved with good intentions, after all - even if he's being selfless about it because it's not even for himself or one of his direct loved ones, but purely by proxy

Here’s so Brian head canons because I have absolute brain rot right now. 

Warnings: NSFW, facial, somnophilia, fem!reader

Brian SFW Headcanons

There’s a lot I have to say about this man. 

For starters he’s like a perfect cutie. Like everyone thinks he’s at least a little cute. 

But I headcanon him as decently tall. Not like Ej or Lj tall but more like how he was in Marble Hornets. So probably like 6’0 to 6’2 depends on how bad he slouches.

He’s also like decently buff, not like raging muscles but enough that you can kinda see it and feel it on him

He most definitely gets a little southern accent when he’s angry

From first glance you would think with the way he jokes with Tim that he’s like an asshole type, but he is probably one of the most respectful proxies around. 

That’s not to say he isn’t mean, he just doesn't see the point in being needlessly mean when the situation doesn’t call for it.

I also think that he has just some autistic tendencies which is why he rarely talks to people. But most people around think he’s nice.

He is like the opposite to hoodie tbh

Also he’s very much aware of hoodie and tries to actively undo most bad impressions he gives people just because Brian finds it so exhausting to try and remember who Hoodie fucked with last.

If you were to end up being friends with him he’d probably do just about everything with you.

Not like how Toby would, more like the bff you automatically pick over everyone else.

He definitely would do just about anything with you no matter the time. Want him to dye your hair? He already bought dye. Want a new hair cut? He’s getting the clippers out.

Generally he’s just a odd guy who hangs out with too many smokers

NSFW

He definitely whimpers when he cums

He isn’t like Toby or Ben, but very much so occasionally whimpers when he is extremely worked up

he’s more of like a Service Dom, very much a giver rather an a receiver

He isn’t too big of a fan of quickies but isn’t completely against them

please tell this man how good his dick feels/how big he is because I’m telling you he will melt in seconds

speaking of dick—

this man isn’t massive but he definitely ain’t small

I would say he’s a nice 7.5 and decently girthy

Oh and did I mention he absolutely loves giving head?

Like this guy is a literal god at giving head

makes it his mission to please you in the best way possible

Hes a bit more experienced with girls but he does swing any way

He can be mean and dom hard if you really want it or if he’s irritated but immediately feels bad after the fact

He just lives to please you tbh

But that doesn’t mean he hates head, he just gets more out of pleasing you

But he sure does love the teary eyed whiny look on your face when you try to stuff all of him into your mouth

Oh and this man loves to watch your face, any position where he can watch you blissfully moan out in pleasure while he fucks you is the best for him

If he had to pick tho he would probably have to go with the classic missionary or cowgirl

Brian typically likes vanilla sex but does indulge into some more fun stuff

Like one of his guilty pleasures that he could never admit out loud is somnophilia

Like just something about either lazily fingering you while you sleep and feeling you get wetter just makes him rock hard in seconds

He also loves to get off with your underwear, you don’t even have to have worn it he just wants it

Like when you two first started dating and he happened to do your laundry once, he couldnt even look at your panties. The shame of his thoughts were too much for him

Oh and this man loves to breed you, and cum on your face

Just the feeling of him deep inside of you, unloading himself as deep as he can get while you whimper and clench on him has him rock hard in seconds

Or the sight of him just covering your face in it as you look up at him with your mouth open has him palming himself

ok That’s all this is too long now—

Headcannons BEN Drowned.

Starters first he died at the age of 14 and I do personally think he is the same case as Sally, he does not age nor physically nor mentally. We all know that Ben basically "controls" the electronics. I always liked to imagine that when he wants to be alone he just goes inside an electronic and hangs out there.

When it comes to personality, he is very bubbly but sarcastic as hell if that makes sense. Extroverted, very extroverted. Likes to pull harmless and actually funny pranks on the others in the manor.

His appearance will always be the one of a 14 year old. I think he has blonde hair but with faded dark green ends, that would look so cool. For fashion sense literally dresses for comfort not style. T shirt and jorts and some cartoon socks (can you tell that this is how I dressed at 14 yrs)

For friends he would totally be best friends with Jeff and silver. I think the whole fandom settled down on that one. I also the relationship between him and Sally brotherly. Shipping them is fucking weird. Also unpopular opinion, best friends with Nina. Like I totally see Ben being into scene/emo stuff and Nina just telling him about the politics and style. (I feel like everyone would be friends w Nina, can y'all tell I have a fav girl)

Spends time playing video games but every time someone says he's addicted to them and angel loses its wings. I feel like he would print posters and put them up his wall while listening to music or just draw. Likes to go to random trees and carve things into them like his name or anything to be honest.

When it comes to interest, forgive but my little pony... I'M SORRY BUT LOOK STRAIGHT INTO MY EYES AND TELL ME HE WOULDN'T LIKE MY LITTLE PONY LIKE. (Fav is rainbow dash) He also likes horror games like silent Hill or OMORI but still MLP better

I think his very short since hes only 14 like when I was 14 I was 5'6 so idk I think he would also be 5'6. Idk Americans heights I only know centimeters so that would come around 165-167 😿

His fav animal are definitely dogs. Has a ton of fun with Smile dog. Plays catch with him and honestly everyone in the manor loves smile dog, who wouldn't. Totally prefers dogs rather than cats, I still feel like his fav pet would be a parrot tho, I don't know why, maybe I'm just going insane writing this.

His favorite season would totally be autumn. He just seems that kind of person where you look at them and instaly know their fav season, autumn. He likes to see how the leaves fall and change color, likes to make those big piles of leaves and just jumps in it.

When he was still alive I think he would get sick on a regular basis, he's happy that now he can't get sick or go to the doctor to be treated or do those vaccines that you do at a specific age.

Most of his time is spend playing games but he really likes spending time with friends too. He likes to talk with silver about Pokemon and games in general, he likes to draw and gossip with Sally and he also really enjoys just talking with Jeff in general. There isn't really that much to do with Jeff rather than to talk shit about people or train.

Since he is a ghost I do think he is capable of going in the city whenever he wants to. I mean most proxies are but they don't do it that often due to the risk of being recognize but since he's a spirit he doesn't have to worry about that.

Speaking of music he is totally into Pierce the veil, like I do view him as the type of person to listen to electronic music but Pierce the veil goes with anything. I don't know ANYTHING about music genres so I'm gonna name any electronic bands😿

When it comes to killing I think he would drive his victims insane but when he wants to do it quick I just think he would electrocute them.

Never liked being a proxy but there isn't anything he can do about it. Honestly I don't think anyone likes being a proxy but most, like him, accepted their fate but still dream that one day maybe they'll be free.

How is he treated in the fandom?

From the very beginning when I joined this fandom in 2016 I saw people going crazy over Ben drowned. And I understand, it was 2016 and everything was very unrestricted, not a safe space for kids and teens and you would see some fucked up shit on the internet on a daily basis but I feel like now that we grew as a fandom and grew mentally we can all agree Ben isn't treated how he should be. He is a great character and very good written. His original story, BEN, where he gets stuck in Majoras mask and it was an ARG and nobody knew it wasn't real was so well done. But ts clear that Ben and BEN are both children, no matter of which one we speak.

The ships

First, he's a child, he shouldn't be shipped with anyone. It first started with Sally. There are so many wrong things here, in Sally's original story she dies at 8 years old and Ben at 12 (in my AU he is 14, no big difference) , that's a huge gap. Secondly why ship minors.

After the Sally incident it went along with Jeff which is more fucking worse. Not only that Ben is 12, Jeff is 20+. That is wrong on so many levels and I'm sure you're mature enough to know and I don't need to list down every fucking reason.

After Jeff, came silver. Which I don't know much about silver so I don't know if this is problematic or not. I'm not gonna put my opinion on this just wanted to include him too since he is apart of this too.

How people viewed him

Literally nothing changed when it comes to how people view him. There are only 2 ways, you either see him as k1nk1 and perverted or as a stoner and a crack head. What the fuck. I don't think I ever met someone who does NOT think of him like that, it's trully sickening and weird. And it has always been like this. It's a huge problem that sadly the people in the fandom choose to ignore rather than speak about it and try to fix it. A problem won't fix itself if no ones speaks no one speaks up about it, and not just one person, more.

Excuses

Many people use excuses when talking about why they go crazy over Ben. I don't believe there is any excuse, you're just weird for doing that. The only excuse that seems KINDA valid is being the same age as him, I can't say anything at that but 15+ and still having a crush on Ben? No. Just no.

When you're the same age as the character, I can't say anything but older than that specific character? It's just wrong, in any way. People, especially adults, need to stop having crushes on characters younger than them or that are literally minors.

The Coftyr half of my Quar Clash of Rhyfles box is built, and as a little bonus I converted a Tractor Tank for them out of a Chibi Sherman model kit that's been sitting in my backlog for a long time.

For reference, these tanks look like this:

I think this will be a fine proxy, and it fits in the starter box with all the other models! To balance it out I bought 3 extra anti-tank infantry and 3 heavy machine gunners for the Crusader side. Next step is to get everything painted!

[crushedsweets]

the song rusted from the rain by Billy Talent kind of remind me of tim and or toby idk... my mind is just being silly love ur au btw!

woah.. woah. anon. woah. also tysm youre so sweet <3

ok for starters just the general SOUND of the music is very accurate to them and i could see them drinking beers on the porch cleaning some weapons with this playing in the back.

for seconds, i like the idea of interpretting these two parts seperately. . like, the first being tim after the events of marble hornets. 'i stumble through the wreckage' him just tryna get his foot after his entire life got torn apart. 'among the broken mirrors' everyone around him evil asf he jsut wants a break. 'im rusted from the rain' he's tired, he's been doing this for so long, he's rusting, everything is ruining him.

then for toby, 'my bitter heart is pumping' toby being screwed over so much he's just rage and revenge and bitterness and his heart is PUMPING to get some of that anger out into the world. 'oil into my veins, im nothing but a tin man' can either reflect him being newer, younger proxy compared to tim, or be sort of yk. he's a machine, made to fight and kill and work without exhaustion. 'i dont feel any pain' duh.... toby..

both of them @ slendy of course.... cuz tobys a dog always. but i do kinda like the idea of tim having this awful weird relationship with slendy where its like. hates him, wants to defy him, wants to ruin every single mission, wants to make maskys life harder, etc - but at the same time, he wants the hallucinations and headaches and pain to ease, so he listens and does the job as effectively as possible no matter how bad he wants to fight back. eventually slendy starts losing his grip on tim/brian though . . . shackled in the graveyard, stuck there tryna support toby/kate even though slendy cant hurt him the way he used to

idk . this is good. this is good ty anon <3

Just watched “The Mourner” video that Ashur posted and oh my gosh, it’s so good. But I have so much to say about the father.

I genuinely believe that the father is one of the most unsettling characters that Ashur has ever written. Everything about him is just undoubtedly unnerving.

For starters, he obviously has Münchausen  syndrome by proxy, forcing his son to drink rat poison to keep him ill. Just that in itself is already disturbing enough, since the son clearly had zero idea that this was happening until the very end, also signifying that this has been happening for years when the father says,”it used to calm you down when you were a kid,” referring to the tomato soup with poison.

Besides the plot twist with the father at the end, just the general way he treats his son is weird and concerning. The snarky remarks he makes towards his son, saying,”I’m here to take care of you.. even if you’re leaving for collage in a few years.” Obviously the son isn’t gonna leave for collage any time soon, he’s literally on the verge of death and the dad knows that. It just shows how little he cares about his son, saying such insensitive things towards his dying son.

Also, how Roshan is constantly seeing this black figure in their house, even pointing it out to his father and yet he never cares or shows any interest in helping his son. Just shows how he only views his son as something he can use, never seeing him as a human.. it’s really just disturbing.

I probably didn’t get all of it, but jeez this character is really good in my opinion. Very much reminds me and I think a lot of us of Gypsy Rose’s mother who also had Münchausen syndrome.. just overall a really interesting video from Ashur, making great videos as usual.

Challengers: A Good Time to be Bisexual

Just watched Challengers. It's 3 am and I'm still thinking about it.

For starters: I LIKED MIKE FAIST FIRST I LIKE HIM FIRST I LIKED HIM IN DEAR EVAN HANSEN OK I LIKED HIM FIRST.

Secondly, I'm realizing that I'm not into tennis enough to have realized just how erotic the sounds people make when they hit the ball are? Like I could handle the make out scenes, the nudity, the almost sex, but the sounds?? Especially for Art, like why did they have this man to make the most erotic whimpery moaning noise I've ever heard EVERY SINGLE TIME he hits the ball (I know why)? Like I felt like I was intruding and I shouldn't have been there. Convinced they locked Mike Faist in a recording studio, blocked out the windows, and had him do what he had to do in there cause that was OBSCENE.

Thirdly, I cannot begin to express my excitement at the resurgence of loser pathetic men in movies. I think Patrick is a loser, but Art is PATHETIC. Like peak simp behavior. He literally turned on his best friend for Tashi, a woman he had like 2 interactions with. To be fair, he was young and dumb and this was by far the worse thing anyone did in the movie, but it's pathetic man behavior. He literally equates her to Jesus. I'm going crazy.

Fourthly, this movie is so fucking sexy. Honestly it doesn't show any physical sex happening on screen, but just, the vibes? The music?? The noises?? Did I mention the noises?? Zendaya is absolutely stunning, and I appreciated their refusal to let her wear a bra in this. Josh O'Connor, I never found attractive before, but there were some shots in this movie where I was like "Ok, yeah ok, I get it." And Mike Faist, the man that you are (between the two of us I originally only wanted to see this movie to see Mike Faist be pathetic).

Finally, this movie is actually pretty straight forward. Tashi says multiple times that all she cares about is "watching some good fucking tennis" and that she doesn't want anyone to be in love with her. As for Art and Patrick, I feel like the only reason they really love tennis is for the relationships they get out of it. Art played tennis when he was younger because he liked being with Patrick and he even mentions that his Grandma is really proud of him, so that's another person he's playing for. And later, he's playing tennis for Tashi. Patrick plays when he's younger for Art, but I think when he's older he might be playing for fame? He just seems like that kind of person. And in the beginning of the movie he seems a little upset that no one knows who he is. Tashi played tennis because she loves tennis, and when she can't play tennis anymore, she's in love with two people who can. And she knows that what they have is the potential to play a good game of tennis. Which is all she cares about. I mean, I don't think that's true. I think she loves Art, but I don't think she respects him (it's giving TomShiv). I think she has more chemistry with Patrick, and potentially loves him more, but thinks she could never be with him because he challenges her too much, and she's too egotistical to be with someone like Patrick who's also egotistical.

I think Art loves Tashi the most, Patrick loves Art the most, and Tashi loves Patrick, but loves tennis above all.

To be fair, I don't support Tashi erasure, like this is one hundred percent a polycule and not like, a gay romance with a woman getting in the way of it. I just think that above all, Tashi loves tennis. That doesn't mean that she's not deserving of love, and that doesn't mean she doesn't love Art and Patrick, she just loves something else more. Tennis will always be the 4th person in their relationship.

At the end they all get what they want. Art wins the game, and wins Tashi by proxy. Patrick wins Art back by physically catching him in his arms and reigniting their friendship. And Tashi gets to watch some good fucking tennis.

my top 5 Watcher Entertainment shows

in honor of Watcher's fifth anniversary and the premise of Puppet History S7, I will be particpating in @watcherwiki's Top 5 Watcher shows for the anniversary of Watcher Entertainment.

let's begin <3

starting with number 5, we have Mystery files !

this was actually the first show that got me into Watcher Entertainment, back in July 2023, I got back from a bookstore and saw a video about the Max Headroom incident from their channel watcher and it got me hooked ever since. It still holds a special place in my heart considering again it's the first show I saw from Watcher Entertainment, and I love a lot of mysteries. There is certainly a lot of charm within Mystery Files that I enjoy, and it is aesthetically pleasing.

I think my favorite eps have to be Max Headroom (obviously), Chupacabra, Sky Trumpets, The Tungska Event, The Battle of Los Angeles, The Oakville Blobs, and Voynich Manuscript <3.

and at number four is Are You Scared?

the show feels very reminiscence of when I was a kid, I would listen to narrators read out creepypastas/spooky stories. The way Watcher does it feels very intense while also lighthearted (sometimes) mixing horror and comedy.

it also has amazing lighting which I completely adore, it's almost hauntingly pretty for a show about two guys bantering with each other in the void reading about the scariest thing you can imagine.

my favorite episodes have been Smile Dog, the other dog episode, Milk White, Happiest Place on Earth, the Holiday special, Outside the Bedroom Episode, and the Ocean episode.

and at number 3 is Dish Granted, my beloved <3

what can I say about Dish Granted, it's very comforting, it's sweet by the premise of cooking something special for your friends, and it's the first Steven Lim show I've watched !! and also that being said, it's the very show that inspired my love for cooking back when I was in cooking club for my high school year.

I just wish it would make a comeback somehow, or maybe there'd be a new food show similar to Dish Granted, it's up to Steven if he wants to or not. either way, 10/10 show :]

favorite episodes include the seafood episode, the oyster smore episode, the mac-and cheese pie, and the taco episode.

and at number two is Weird Wonderful World !!!

the ultimate comfort show and my second favorite show from the long-limbed man himself Shane Madej, this is by far one of the very best of the bunch, bringing in curiosity and comedy, learning about new places around the Californian state (my home state) that makes me want to visit (even though I am on a budget). And it is the one show that makes me forget Shane and Ryan are mainly known for ghost hunting and not just going on silly adventures.

favorite episodes include the pie episode, the sunset ranch episode, the soda pop episode, the theatre episode, the hat episode, and the breakfast club episode.

and finally my number one is ...

Ghost Files Alone, ladies and gentlemen.

I had some trouble with what would be my number one, funnily enough if I could, half of the shows would be on my number one list. But I think I'll have Ghost Files Alone as my top one pick.

now, what I can say about Ghost Files Alone, many things actually. For starters, ever since I got into Watcher and by proxy getting into the original Ghost Files and its past self Buzzfeed Unsolved I have long admired the very host of the show -- Ryan Bergara. He is honestly one of the bravest and genuine ghost hunters whose content I've come across, and back then I wasn't even into ghost hunting content, so the fact Ryan's shows are what got me into the learning about the paranormal is a statement in itself. And as someone who also has an anxiety disorder, I've been impressed with how Ryan had been able to handle his fear over the years of ghost hunting, even if there were times where he was genuinely terrified (and rightfully so), he always managed to pull through.

and when Ghost Files Alone came out, it really did remind me of why I admired Ryan so much, especially at the very ending of the final installment of Ghost Files Alone when he left the house and the monologue of overcoming your own Malvern Manor.

it may be a short series with only three episodes, I still admire the way it was made and once again I hold nothing but respect for the effort Ryan Bergara put into the series, and for his bravery once again. That's why it is on my top one.

thanks for reading everybody :] and thanks Watcher Entertainment for giving us some great content for the past five years.
