#rose’s ghoul lore

[roseheartss]

Rain with his arms securely around Dewdrop just listening, holding him tight. Dewdrop quietly voicing his every thought knowing if he says them to someone he’ll hear how silly he sounds. Rain never judges him for it. He could never. He knows how much Dew struggles to rationalize his own thoughts from the intrusive ones. He’ll sit all night with his fire lily if Dew will have him. If it keeps Dewdrop safe and healthy, his mind at ease even just for a short while, Rain would go to the end of the world and back.

I'm alive I promise! As proof here's 800 words of Cirrus/Cumulus bath time. Magic use, making out, clit rubbing. A miniscule amount of lore. You know all the good stuff.

Many thanks to @mikorsghouls for blessing me with the idea of using air magic underwater. Your brain is so big.

Cirrus is, in a word, comfortable. 

The water is hot, the bathroom sealed and steamy. She upended one of Mountain’s bath bottles into the bath before she stepped in. Rose and jasmine petals swirl around her, stick her to damp skin. 

Cumulus’ fingers press into her belly, just over her belly button. The other hand rests on her thigh. Cirrus leans back, deeper into Cumulus. Lets the other ghoulette hold her, support her. She tucks her head under Cumulus’ chin, her own nearly dipping into the water. She sighs, bodily. The stress of the day wicking away the longer she sits. 

Planning a tour is hard. Harder without Aether around to help. It’s all logistics and phone calls and numbers and a calendar so tight Cirrus is sure one tiny misstep will throw the whole thing off. 

The work never ends, and Copia who is usually exuberantly helpful is distant. Tired. Worried about something. Cirrus has found him more often than not in his room playing that ancient video game system looking at the corners of his room like he’s seen a ghost. 

He’s crankier than she remembers. More sarcastic. She doesn’t mind that so much except that it’s out of character. She knows the tension is from the upcoming tour. Knows things are at stake. Everyone can feel it. And once they’re on the road it will ease. Being on the road is easy, fun. Exhausting but overall they are all their best selves when they have a show to look forward to. 

These last couple weeks before they set out will be torture–already have been. Cirrus has a million things she should be doing right now that aren’t lounging in the bath with Cumulus. 

But she really can’t be fucked to get up and do any of them. And, even if she wanted to, Cumulus would never let her. 

Cirrus kicks up a purr as she relaxes, eyes slipping closed as Cumulus dances her fingers over Cirrus’ thigh, drawing patterns on smooth skin. Cumulus dips her head to kiss Cirrus’ hair. 

“Feel better?” 

Cirrus’ answer is a low hum, confirmation.  “Can I make you feel even better?” 

Cirrus nods. Cumulus’ hand slips a little higher and Cirrus lets her legs fall open further. Knees pressed to the sides of the oversized tub. She loves this tub. Loves every tub in the Abbey honestly. Nearly big enough to swim in. Built for holding multiple ghouls at a time. The depth of it keeping her and Cumulus fully submerged. Cirrus turns her head, braces her temple against Cumulus’ shoulder. 

She kisses the damp flesh. Tastes roses, smells sun dried linen. Home. 

Cumulus slides her hand higher. Pets a finger over Cirrus’ slit, gentle but not teasing. 

“I learned a new trick.” She hums into Cirrus’ hair. 

“Show me.” Cirrus says, angling her head up just enough to kiss Cumulus’ neck now, up over the soft line of her jaw. . 

She loves it best like this. No urgency. Allowed to just melt into Cumulus, to stay there for hours. To be touched, to touch, with no expectation. Maybe she’ll cum, maybe she won’t. It doesn’t matter. 

She feels the disturbance in the water before the bubbles touch her. Cumulus summoning air beneath the surface. Bubbles dancing over her inner thighs, the pace where her clit juts out just so from her lips. 

“Fun.” 

“Isn’t it? Gentler than fingers. Good to get you warmed up.” 

Cirrus needs this. The warm up. Gentle fingers, bubbles, kitten licks. Time to let her body catch up to her brain. Time and indulgence and decadence. Another soft jet of air hits her, a little more this time, enough to make her twitch, to make her gasp. 

“Do you like it?” Cumulus asks. 

Cirrus nods, she lifts her head, and turns to kiss Cumulus. It’s thorough. Filled with the same lack of urgency as everything else. Just the desire to kiss. To taste. To feel each other. Cumulus replaces the jet of air with her fingers. The pads of her index and middle fingers dragging over the hood of Cirrus’ clit, spreading her a little, delving into her slick folds as they kiss. Slow and sloppy and decadent, and Cirrus can’t think of a single reason she will ever need to leave this bath. 

Cumulus pulls away, she pulls her hand from Cirrus’ belly to guide her head back down, to press it to the slope of her breast. Cirrus’ jaw and cheek dipping into the water as Cumulus cards those wet fingers under the dark curtain of Cirrus’ hair to drag over her undercut. Freshly shaved and soft. Motions meant to soothe, fingers moving in time with the ones stroking through her folds. 

Cirrus lets her eyes drift closed again. She lets a haze of comfort and pleasure drape over her.

“Don’t stop,” Cirrus mumbles, lips moving over Cumulus’ ever-steady pulse. 

“Never.”

DRESS UP : Put 6 photos describing your Toreador OC’s style and aesthetic. Let others get to know them through fashion, since you get to know about people through what they wear (and maybe some more notes on why they dress like that because this is more of a me thing and I just wanna read about fashion and lore okay you don’t have to haha)

Bonus:

Ava's style is your typical vintage Hollywood glamour from the 50's. She's the modern day pin-up girl, with the signed Polaroids to go with it (Rare images are found with a kiss print with her Rogue Dior lipstick).

Having being raised watching vintage movies with her Grandmother, it was only natural for her to fall in love with the glamour!

The first line is a hint of her lounge wear. Her Ghouls have had to deal with her wearing nothing but a silk robes or lace lingerie as she lays dramatically on a chaise lounge.

Second line is daily wear. Always figure hugging skirts and dresses, stockings with the seams and a pair of Louboutin heels.

Third line is elegant wear. Gowns that sparkle with real jewels nowadays instead.

It is important to look expensive no matter the occasion, and always match with red lipstick and flawless cat-eye eyeliner. Due to her body shape and waist, each piece of clothing is tailor-made. There is nothing in her wardrobe from a store. Is she a little too spoilt by her Grandsire? Yes, perhaps, but she looks stunning the whole time.

The bonus line is an idea to her performance outfits, that slowly become removed to very little. Again, all jewels decorate each single piece she has, so she dazzles on stage with her skill, presence and diamonds. Though once pieces are removed, whose really going to be eyeing up the necklaces?

The colours Ava wears are highly depending what stage of (un)life she's in. When she was just a fledgling, and being shown off by the Toreador Primogen, she was often seen wearing a rose red. While going through her obsessive love with a certain Lasombra, she wore black to show the devotion she held for him. Now she's.. hopefully.. coming out of that, she's creeping a darker, deeper, sultry red back into her wardrobe to hint her rouge have been darkened by her own abilities of Oblivion.

She can sometimes be seen in white around her club to appear ethereal and to show off her wealth that she'd be able to afford the dry cleaning should items of clothing get a little... bloodied.

Thinking out loud and dropping some Earth Sprite lore here cuz yeah.

Here's a scone for your troubles.

So unlike other elements, earth sprites aren't free roaming. These guys are bonded to an actual living organism, such as a tree, a certain bush, a flowering plant, ect.

Not every plant necessarily has a sprite. They pop up more commonly in places near sources of magic, whether that be a certain location or a person/ghoul with considerable influence. They like places where the roots can mingle and communicate with the roots of the plants around them. Because of this, we don't generally see sprites that are bonded to potted plants.

The size of an earth sprite is determined by the depth and width of the root system of the plant it belongs to. A smaller plant means a smaller sprite. A bigger plant means a bigger sprite. Which means, yes, those expansive forests that are really a single organism with one massive root system are bonded to one truly gigantic sprite, such as the one that lurks in the huge Aspen grove that's outside the Abbey walls.

Earth sprites are usually pretty elusive. It's not that they're aggressive or disdainful towards people, they're just very shy. They're curious, but from a distance. They do let themselves be seen sometimes, but they prefer to follow you and investigate from a distance until they either decide that you're not interesting anymore, or until they've worked up the courage to come a little closer.

Mkay, I think that's it...for now.

💙

Oooh~ they're a little like dryads!

Also I know you said they don't typically hang around potted plants, buuut I needed to doodle a little something:

They're little rose bush sprouts for the garden, so they're going to grow quite a bit. I just think Bea would be beside herself.

Terzomega Drabble — Fallen Angel AU

story is below the cut if you want to skip my rant!!

ok i’m a newer tumblr user but it’s time i put on my big boy boots and info dump all my creative thoughts about a random set of characters on a random post that no one will see !!! woo hoo !!

so i’m obsessed with catholic lore deeply interested in celestial/demonic terzomega, and the other day i wrote a little drabble that i wasn’t totally satisfied with but i figured i could post it here and maybe that would give me some more inspo.

my idea is catholic priest terzo/fallen angel omega. as far as terzo goes i thought it would be cute if he was like one in a line of religious men. like his dad was a pastor (priests cant fuck but pastors can😏) and all of he and his brothers became priests, and like he treats it more like a job but he really likes the attention and how ppl adore him. kinda like He Is vibes. maybe he’s a a lil filthy priest who knows :>

i wont get into why i think omega fell bc if i make this into a story i want ✨intrigue✨ but i see him as this greatly wise beast burdened with his own knowledge of the universe, harrowed by his fall, guilty and ashamed and unable to come to terms with it. he obvi fell much later than the other demons. the next step is supposed to be hell, but by some cosmic mistake or decision, he fell into a church, and because of that he couldn’t like, yk, fall through to be a demon bc demons aren’t allowed in churches, so he’s kinda stuck between. id assume at some other point other ghouls try to make him come to hell. ive been really into alpha lately so it would be hot if alpha came, and they had a history bc yk all demons were angels once, and they fought and stuff. yees.

so anyway, i wrote this drabble that i will put below. i wasn’t entirely satisfied with it for a few reason… 1) i didn’t quite have a grasp on either of their characters for this au, partly bc of Little Monster, partly bc i came up with this two days ago and haven’t thought about it since and two 2) i wrote it during a day that i was burnt out w writing so its not up to snuff imo.

so if you got through all that and u make it through the drabble, i would really appreciate any feedback u can give. it’s only 1.4k words, so about a 10 minute read if ur slow, prolly closer to five :> thank u in advance, have a splendid (day/night) time :D

“Have a good night, father.”

Terzo waved off the sister, watching the heavy doors swing shut after her in the dim candlelight, deafening the sound of heavy rain outside. He turned to walk up the aisle, all the way up the steps to the altar, ensuring along the way that everything was in its proper place. He smoothed a wrinkle in the corporal, tweaking the positions of the chalic and paten until everything was just so. He looked out at the dark recess and nodded.

Not a hair out of place. All was right and in its proper place.

From the heavens a great shatter sounded, like thunder and splitting wood. Terzo looked up. Through the roof came a great, dark, feathery beast that collapsed to the floor with a reverberating crack of the tiles and pews it landed on. The storm raged on above, rain pouring in from the newly broken ceiling, falling onto the collision below.

The being slowly rose to a stand. A large man with dusky skin, great horns, and black wings, dressed in a stained and drenched robe that hung limply from his impressive torso. He looked up to the hole in the sky, facing the rain that dripped onto his face. With a sweep of his wings he was airborn, only to careen away from the opening and crash down once more. He was like a bird trying to escape its cage, desperately flapping his wings, staring to the sky, unable to fly again. Before him was his own destruction, a ravaged church broken by his falls.

Terzo had quickly dove beneath the altar in his shock, watching him with a mix of disbelief and terror stirring in him like water rolling to a boil, threatening to spill over the pot in the form of a scream.

The winged creature was suddenly still, lying in a shattered pile of wood and tile, breathing heavily. A heavy silence filled the cavernous church forebodingly.

Terzo fumbled for the Bible in his pocket, yanking off his cross necklace. A series of prayers escaped his lips in a whisper, convinced the winged horror was some sort of demon. When it did not suddenly burst into flames from the holy smite of God, Terzo slowly approached the unmoving beast, Bible and cross held before him cautiously. Once he was only a few feet away, he cried out, “In the name of the Lord, begone, foul demon!”

Nothing happened. He repeated himseslf. Not a flinch. The thing just lay there, panting harshly like a wounded animal. He flipped through his Bible, repeating any prayer he could think of. Nothing.

The beast peeked an eye open from lying face down, a black eye with white pupils. Watching him. Terzo, startled, threw the Bible at him. He winced.

“Be… Not… Afraid…” He spoke as through every syllable was painful, a deep, sonorous voice that shook Terzo to his core.

He froze for a long moment, then had an idea. He dashed away to the baptismal font and scooped up a handful of holy water, then ran back to splash it on the creature.

“You are a demon! Go from this holy ground!”

He did not move. From his quivering lips, he spoke again. “I… am… God’s… servent…”

He closed his eye again, saying nothing more. There was something amiss. Despite how he had tried most everything he could think to dispel a demon, and it lie in his church, unaffected.

It was enough to give Terzo pause.

No matter what the terrifying beast was, he was in pain. Not from anything Terzo did, but from whatever had caused him to fall through the roof of his church. Regardless of what was to be done, the winged man could not stay in the church.

“Err, excuse me. How do I… help you?” Terzo ventured.

No response. Terzo thought for a moment. There was no way he could lift him, or even drag him. He was enormous compared to the compact priest, with humongous wings to match.

“Could you walk?” The weak eye opened again. Terzo said, “I will take you somewhere more comfortable, si?”

He stirred suddenly, stumbling to his feet, hunched over and clutching his own ribcage. Terzo, unsure, began walking towards the doors. The beast slowly followed.

He locked the door behind him, trying to ignore that his precious church had been destroyed and how the winged man stared at him intensely. A problem for the morning. He led the creature across the street where his refractory was, his home. Luckily, no one was around to see them in this late hour, and even then, it was pitch black outside. The storm had shorted all the power, including the street lights.

Terzo led him to an empty bedroom on the ground floor, which held a rather small bed compared to some others he had, but Terzo was worried about him being able to walk much longer, let alone up stairs.

“Lie down on this,” Terzo instructed, pulling back the blankets. He hardly made it through the doorway with his large wings, but once he squeezed through he instantly fell onto the bed, making it bounce violently with the weight.

“May I… err… touch you?”

Not even a reaction. He seemed half ready to die on Terzo’s spare mattress.

Terzo pulled away the stained robe from his torso. The fabric indeed obscured a glistening wound sat between his lower ribs. Surprisingly, it was not bleeding as much as he would have expected, but it was concerningly deep.

Terzo hurried in and out with supplies to aid the poor thing. He bandaged the wound carefully, then moved on to examine the rest of his body. He was unable to flip him over, but he undressed him to ensure there were no more deep wounds. He wore no undergarments, and once Terzo was certain he had no other pressing injuries, he drew a blanket over his waist to grant him some modesty.

He gently felt for any broken bones, picking out any splinters he found along the way from his encounter with the church roof. There were bruises, which he could just barely make out on his purple skin, and he slathered them with cream. Given the nature of the fall, Terzo was surprised it was not more injured. He figured it must have been suffering from exhaustion more than anything, though he was no doctor.

After nearly an hour of tending to the strange being, Terzo sat back, exhausted. The man lay breathing heavily still from what Terzo surmised was a nicked lung. Even in unconsciousness, his face was pinched in pain, distress. Sometimes fangs would flash from his lips, as if growling at an invisible foe. He certainly looked like a demon, though something in Terzo’s gut told him not to worry.

That was, until he awoke.

Just when Terzo was beginning to wonder if he should call someone, the man sat up, his arms held defensively in front of him. Terzo stood, stumbled back in fear. The beast froze in place, staring at nothing. He looked down at his bandaged side, then at the small priest who had fallen to the ground in terror.

“No—” he breathed out, then clutched his wound in pain.

Terzo clamored to his feet and said, “You should lie back down, signore.” He very gingerly touched his shoulder, prompting him to lay back once more.

“I—” he huffed, wincing again.

“Do not speak. I think it is your lung,” Terzo awkwardly clasped his hands together. “...Although you may tell me if you are a demon.”

He shook his head, staring desperately at him. “No, I—” he gasped, “fell—”

“Let’s not worry, hm? As long as you do not plan to kill me, you should be resting. Then you may chatter all you wish.”

He opened his mouth, but said nothing. Instead he stared at Terzo with an unreadable gaze, one that made him more uncomfortable the longer he stood there.

“Do you… Eat?” he asked uncertainly. He shook his head. “Err.. Yes, well. I will let you rest. Just… let me know if you need something.”

After another thick pause consisting solely of staring, Terzo left the room. Just outside he fell against the wall, clutching his chest, his nerves jumping from his skin.

What was he doing?

ik im annoying thanks again for reading if u have ANY thoughts good or bad just give em to me any way u know how i SO appreciate it ur the best B)

i wrote a smut drabble for this concept LMFAO

[loominggaia]

Lilian and Necromancy

Here's a rough story concept I've been thinking over lately. The following text contains SPOILERS for future LG stories, so I will place it under a cut:

While she's studying with the Karenzans, Lily is also struggling quite badly with her mental health. She knows she shouldn't miss Dario, but she longs for him so much that she can't stand it.

Normally she talks to Patience about her troubles and they work on solutions together. But this particular issue is so embarrassing that Lily decides to keep it a secret, and her emotional state continues to decline.

Eventually, she loses it and begins secretly studying necromancy. She wishes to bring Dario's soul back from the cosmos and let it inhabit a corpse, so that she can be with him again.

She sneaks away from the temple at night and performs dark rituals in the Dusk clan's abandoned castle, where Dario's terrible energy still lingers. She finds an old sample of his blood staining the altar in the courtyard, where he fought with Bigbad decades ago, and uses it to summon his soul.

She fails and ends up summoning a poltergeist, a ghost manifested from his blood and lingering energy. It posesses her body and traps her in the castle.

That's the rough idea I have so far. Of course Patience, Buddy, and Zov will come to her rescue, but I want Lily to be involved in her own rescue as well. I think being (literally) possessed by Dario again after all she has learned will really drive the point home that this is NOT what she wants. The rose tinted glasses are off this time, she sees him for the ghoul he is now, and is forced to free herself from him.

I feel like this would also be a good opportunity to introduce Prudence into the series. Patience calls upon her to exorcise Dario's ghost, but she can't do it alone. He has such a stranglehold on Lily's soul that exorcising him could actually kill her, so she requires Lily to fight Dario off as much as she can first by making her body uninhabitable for him.

I'm thinking Lily is forced to do something that permanently scars herself, like burning or cutting, to weaken him enough for Prudence to yank him out and destroy him once and for all. I'm leaning towards burning, since vampires are afraid of fire.

I'm still thinking about it. Suggestions are always welcome!

the problem with the otherverse is that it's very much split between the desire to remain ambiguous and lacking in definitive truth, and in providing solid boundaries and labels so that it's an easily digestible setting with boxes to sort a given fan-practitioner/Other into and to make little tables to generate tabletop games with.

i think like...pact implies that labels aren't the end of the world, despite rose sr's little warning. we just have the perspective of blake who isn't reading the books. but rose does tell us what ghouls are, and talks about how a bloody mary is a whole subtype of Others following similar patterns. even mrs lewis is like "does this look like a faerie? yes? it probably is". but all of that is comparatively minor because the lore is used as a supplement to the story and it's more "tidbits to help blake out". the sense of mystery still holds and the setting manages to feel wide and open.

pale tries this, sometimes. it talks about outdated terminology, or how practitioner books can be biased or badly written. it has the 100YL mystery and implies avery doesnt have a perfect understanding of the universe. it sort of tries to quarantine its bullshit by implying different regions of the world handle things differently too.

except ultimately it fails because for every attempted nod towards ambiguity it has three lore dumps saying "these are the types of curses that exist" or "these are the types of cursed magic items that exist" or "these are the universal measurements for glamour". or bombshells like "Innocents retroactively rewrite history with science". a given practitioner/Other is often a spokesperson for their whole field and how everyone practices or views it rather than just...a guy who happens to use a particular system for understanding a world that's much bigger than them.

there's like...definitely a balance when it comes to lore. it's not that i don't like having things revealed to me. it's not like i don't enjoy having new information to use to generate new ideas. but at some point when the lore stops feeling like an organic part of a world and more like mandatory entries in a table/list it quickly becomes irritating.

End of Tour

The end of tour hits all of the ghouls hard, but Aeon gets hit the hardest. He can only handle the constant overwhelming energy of touring for so long before his battery is completely drained. That mixed with a very sudden change of routine back at the ministry? Aeon is down for the count for awhile.

It starts with a heavy meltdown. The second Aeon walks off stage after the last show, he crumbles. He doesn’t remember making it onto the bus. All he knows is that everything in his mind screams too much and make it stop like a never ending mantra. When he asks Dewdrop about it some weeks later, he’ll tell him that Swiss had to dig into his small traces of quintessence to calm the ghoul enough to carry him out of the venue.

The stress of it all has Aeon completely nonverbal at first. He’s unable to do much else than curl up in a ball under his blankets (weighted, of course). Swiss makes sure to bring him some of his safe foods at the same time everyday knowing the small routine is grounding for him. Chances are Aeon wouldn’t eat on his own either. Not because he doesn’t want to eat, but because the thought of having to get out of bed, choose something to eat, and then physically go through the motions of eating overwhelms and exhausts the poor ghoul completely.

It takes about a week for anyone to see Aeon outside of his room. He’s still mostly nonverbal, still a bit shutdown, but there’s the smallest hint of life back in his eyes. The background noise of the common room isn’t grating on his ears anymore. He can stand to have Dewdrop and Rain curled up around him speaking over his head even if he doesn’t participate in the conversation himself. It’s calming, in a way, after his, albeit much needed, self-imposed isolation.

Aeon always finds himself recharged and back in action eventually, even if it’s a rough journey to get there. He learns to manage touring a little bit better with each trip, but it’s never enough to completely stop the wear and tear on both his mind and body. To Aeon, though, it is more than worth it. He trusts his pack to take care of him. To pick up the pieces left behind and stitch them back together. They haven’t let him down yet.

Jason Grace deserves more recognition

As a person who read HoO first I had a unbiased perspective on the series I saw Jason for wat he was and idolized him for it he was one of the best shafted MC’s I’ve ever seen even throughout all the bs Rick put him through people forget to look at Jason’s life from a real life perspective he has one of the worst lives in the series even with the little information we kno this man was separated from his already dysfunctional family at 2! raised and trained by wolves until he was 3 then admitted into an army as a TODDLER keep in mind the camp is named after this man’s father with the expectations people had on him he was perceived more as a movie or comic character who u knew had to live up to the standards set what made it worst is Jason never wanted to be the chosen one but nonetheless he still never faltered bcuz in his mind if not him who else? constantly met or exceeded the expectations over and over furthering this image no one considering how he felt or what he thought when it came to himself fast forward Jason has served 12 years in the legion the most for his age in history and risen through the ranks as a compassionate composed leader it took the Nico moment for people to see Jason’s empathy but even as far back as choosing his cohort they wanted to automatically admit him to the first cohort and best cohort but he chose the shunned and frowned upon 5th cohort out of dislike of the stereotype and to try to alter his destiny of a son of Jupiter making his own path he brought glory to it by accomplishing all sorts of things such as killing the Trojan sea monster which was said to be the size of a sky scraper, killing ghouls and returning bacchus leopard,and the feat that rose him to the rank of praetor when he fought krios won and toppled Kronos throne Jason tried to be the best praetor he could even trying to change sum traditions such as the name of the legion to 1st symbolizing renewal Jason’s entire career at Camp Jupiter had been built on careful choices. He mediated between demigods, listened to all sides of an argument, and made compromises. He was always the leader and never on a team of equals now after doing everything everyone expected of him never really taking the time to think much of his desires or personal life in general shown by him not being aware of reyna’s feelings Jason just grew to fill the shoes he was given even if he didn’t want to wear them THEN the person who took him from his family wiped his memory and put him on a bus with 2 people with false memories claiming to be his friend and gf I don’t understand how people don’t get how disorienting that is atleast Percy remembered annabeth he still got the better treatment even though Jason got shafted his whole life and writing wise also under is a short post I made about people ignoring Jason’s life personality and feats sorry for the rant but I hate that jason couldn’t catch a break in life death or reality and don’t get me started on what Rick did to him and piper in ToA😞

It’s as if jason story doesn’t exist bcuz rick doesn’t fully tell it people give so many accurate defenses for Jason and most get brushed off or unheard it’s crazy how a undisputed top 3 demigod of his generation lore and logic wise is disrespected so much there was literally a trend on TikTok of Jason saying he could’ve killed percy and it being treated as a joke AS IF ANY OTHER CHARACTER COULD SAY THE SAME OR LEGITIMATELY GIVE HIM A CHALLENGE without amps 🤦🏾‍♂️ ts is ridiculous he barely have feats and people still ignore them like how many of y’all kno this man had a hand in slaying the most giants and was the only one to 1v1 one and hold his ground for an extended period of time then proceed to fight wolves and injure the king giant shit doesn’t make any sense I’m also here for any LOGICAL disputes

Fallout S1:E8 - The Beginning

Some minor gripes and little details I didn't agree with. It sheds light to some in universe lore that was never talked about. I'm not sure I would introduce certain characters in the finale of a season, but I'm not the writers. Has some action, moves the main plot along in leaps and bounds as compared to other episodes. I think that its a really good end to the season but also a good episode on its own.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Spoilers and Deep Dive ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I guess they really want to make the BoS very antagonistic. What did they do raze Filly? Typically in game they are more isolationist. Kind of don't fuck with me and I wont fuck with you. They have also made them out to be way more religious then they have ever been portrayed before. It also seems like Maximus is constantly wavering on if he wants to be in the BoS or escape.

More Russian weapons for some odd reason. Yes FO4 added the Handmade Rifle(AK47) but it didn't add things like the RPD or PPSh. I'll give a slight pass to the woman holding the BAR, because it is used as inspiration for the Automatic Rifle(FONV). Nice callback to the ghoul that she saved from the Super Dupermart.

Ok this is another inclusion of Sunset Sarsaparilla, so at this point there has to be an inclusion or mention of the Mojave. Still unsure how there are so many in universe cars in the flashbacks but none apparently survived to the present day. Other than the Mister Handy in the first episode, this Protectron is the only other robot seen in the past.

HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE CALLER! This is the NCR? Then why do the have all these RPDS? No Colt ARs? You're telling me that there are no snipers either? Why do we have a feral ghoul tied as a dinner guest? Oh look so cool that you got a two headed suckling pig. You know that thing that has never existed in the games.

I guess I called it. I've never seen a Robobrain that small. This feels like a joke. This is like a Roomba with a brain in a cloche. MCSCUSE ME?!?!?!?! Is this brain bot thing Bud Askins? DOUBLE MCSCUSE ME!!!!!!!! So we have who I guess is Mr. Robert House[RobCo](Simply because of the appearance), Julia Masters[Repconn](She's really the only talked about female CEO), Fredrick Sinclair[Big MT](The "Freddy-boy" comment from Mr. House) and finally Leon Von Felden[West Tek](he was the head guy on the FEV). I like this they are just rattling off all the actual in game vault experiments that players have experienced. This is interesting, are they implying that Vault-Tec actually let these companies take the lead and they would just foot the bill in order to get support and possibly money? NOW WE ARE REALLY FUCKING WITH CANON!!!!! In the games its meant to be a "we don't know who struck first, but everyone got in a lick" type of situation. Its heavily implied that the Chinese dropped the bombs first. But this doesn't make sense, since there are unfinished vaults. If you had your finger on the button, why push it before you could maximize profits? Also damn Coop, it really be your own sometimes. I hate the de-aging CGI that Hollywood does. I understand that Kyle MacLachlan is older but still. This also explains why The Ghoul reacted the way he did when Lucy said her full name. Hate to be that guy, but technically Moldaver hasn't told Lucy when she is from either. So don't get too high on your horse just yet ma'am. Dammit Dane, here I was thinking you were a standup dude. You really let Maximus take that punishment the whole fucking time.

So Vault-Tec or more specifically Vault 31 had access to bombs and nuked the capital of the NCR? So you've just kept Rose as pet for the last 20 some odd years? That seems equally as fucked up. So is no body gonna notice that Norm is gone? Also Vault-Tec doesn't have any way of getting surface information? Well if Griffith Observatory is the new NCR headquarters, the NCR must be in shambles. Also that is a comically large red dot sight on these mounted guns for no reason. Well The Ghoul is just the consummate badass. How the fuck does Hank just know how to get into and operate power armor? So he is looking for his family. In a classic Lucyism, she seemed more broken up about shooting Martha the ghoul than HER MOTHER THAT IS A GHOUL. Surely leaving unlimited power source in the hands of the BoS will not have any lasting consequences. Ok nice, teasing finally some deathclaw action. Alright well that just seals the deal that the second season is going to be better. But also how the fuck are you going to make a story around New Vegas? Literally the endings vastly change how the strip ends up. I have a bad feeling that we are getting into that retconning or just plain making shit up for the canon of the show.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I'm not surprised they went with a cliffhanger ending. The inclusion of New Vegas is going to make for some interesting lore issues though. I hope they don't try to change established events. Even though this left somethings unanswered, it did answered enough to be a well rounded episode. Its funny how you introduce the NCR and give no context as to who they are or what they do, considering there will be people who have never played the games watching this show.

Final Score - 8/10

[savingthrcw]

btw because fallout is one of those fandoms in which I easily get to write NPCs in replies, it'a also one of those rare fandoms in which I want to write other characters too? in this case probably Norm?? because I love him, Steph based on my headcanons only (all my characters are based more on my headcanons and interpretation than on what we see on the show, look at my Lucy, BUT Steph would legit be completely headcanon based) -I'd write Moldaver but I already know I can't, too sad for me, I feel like in my head she's relatively done when it comes to me writing her -I'd write an AU Rose MacLean but I can reconcile the fact that she'd still be alive with the person I know she is, because I can't see how she'd go on living after Hank took her kids back and she can break into the Vault, so nothing short of memory loss might make sense, together with being a ghoul and only being told about her past by Moldaver? Like... maybe she turned into a ghoul because of that guy with the potions because Moldaver tried everything to save her - restored her looks but there was so much to fix that she still lost memories, Moldaver told her about her kids, but since she's a ghoul she doesn't feel like she can show her face and take them and raise them on the surface, doesn't remember them so she feels less 'forced' by her own feelings to go save them, BUT it's still a stretch to think that she would want them to be with their father, in a Vault, with what Moldaver told her? Plus if she forgot her kids and life she's fundamentally a different person? Maybe part of her face and body is starting to show also the ghoul-look and that is an incentive not to put her kids through the crap she has to endure. So maybe Hank threatened to kill them all if she ever set foot in the Vault, a bluff she believed? before the bomb dropped? MAYBE??? and between that and the ghoul thing what she could do if not wait for Moldaver to break in to the vault 20 years later, she'd be this weird mix of good, kind, smart, but also sarcastic, passive-aggressive Norm style? I don't know, I'm just spitballing -Maximus? Waaay too complicated for me and I don't know the lore -Not even gonna touch the ghoul's dialogue

Insidious 6: everything you need to know

The upcoming horror movie Insidious 6 is set to be released on August 29, 2025. This installment marks the return of the Insidious series, which began in 2010 and has since seen a total of six sequels. The franchise, created by Leigh Whannell and James Wan, has been a significant success, grossing over $740 million worldwide. The latest film in the series, "Insidious: The Red Door," was released in 2023 and directed by franchise star Patrick Wilson. While details about the upcoming Insidious 6, including returning characters, remain undisclosed, it is part of a well-established horror franchise that continues to captivate audiences with its supernatural and chilling narratives.

The plot of Insidious 6 is not confirmed yet, as there is limited information available about the specific storyline of this upcoming installment. However, there are indications that the movie might explore new chilling tales from the Further, the spiritual realm full of ghosts and ghouls, which is a central element in the Insidious franchise. The previous film, "Insidious: The Red Door," featured the Lambert family and their encounters with supernatural entities. While details about the plot of Insidious 6 remain undisclosed, it is expected to continue the eerie and supernatural themes that have characterized the series.

Insidious 6 is expected to continue the storyline and themes established in the previous Insidious movies, particularly focusing on the Lambert family's encounters with supernatural entities from the spiritual realm known as The Further.

The Insidious franchise has revolved around the Lambert family, including parents Josh (Patrick Wilson) and Renai (Rose Byrne), and their son Dalton (Ty Simpkins). The first two movies primarily followed their story, while the third and fourth installments branched out to other characters like Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye), a demonologist and paranormal investigator.

Insidious 5, titled Insidious: The Red Door, marked Patrick Wilson's directorial debut and returned to the Lambert family's story, set 10 years after the events of Insidious 2. The movie saw Dalton, now in college, being haunted by familiar spirits from The Further.

While details about Insidious 6's plot are still undisclosed, it is expected to continue exploring the supernatural elements and the Lambert family's connection to The Further, which has been a central theme throughout the franchise. The upcoming installment will likely build upon the established mythology and lore of the Insidious universe.

So I saw Last Voyage of the Demeter...

Spoilers.

Went in without any real expectations; it's been forever since I read the book or watched the old movie with Hopkins and I was honestly too young to really get them at that time. But it's been forever since I saw anything truly 'vampire horror' and the closest I've had was...Shadows Over Innistrad when it came out...

So with a clean palate and very little tolerance for the horror genre, I actually enjoyed it.

Visuals were great. The Demeter setting sail into the sunset felt like an adventure beginning and yet the shot of the Romani praying for them added dreadful anticipation. The cgi of the fog at the end was awesome and I had genuine dread of the bloodbath about to occur because as Anna pointed out, it was coming, he could feast. The old fashioned Nosferatu look with modern equipment was really good, and a good choice I felt instead of trying to make him look "exotic" somehow or just regular corpse with fangs. The changes as he fed were subtle but I'd likely see more with a second viewing or some side-by-side comparison stills.

And the audio! The sounds of the ship and calm ocean were so relaxing; it contrasts wonderfully with the horrible sucking as he feeds, the heavy raspy breathing, the wings beating, his voice coming from everywhere. I couldn't make out every word he said--at one part, climbing the rigging after a guy, I thought he said "Now, please," and when the storm kicked up a notch, I thought he did some vocal weather control. "You will be," was the first I didn't second guess my hearing. If that was the intent, well done! If not, oh well, I'll need hearing aids eventually.

The AC kicked on a few times, sending a breeze on my ankles in tense moments and I barely stopped myself from curling into the chair.

I was scared for Toby, trapped in the cabin with a monster inside and a friend turned monster outside and teared up at the funeral and what happened. The last image of him will likely be in my nightmares because it was the biggest gut wrench. The captain looked much older at the funeral and the way he yelled, reaching out even as he saw the horror Dracula had turned Toby into was just...10/10 *chef's kiss* traumatic. It looked like his mouth was moving as he sank. All I could think was that running water is a classic weakness so that second death was probably extra agony.

I did not expect anyone to survive that long. I really wanted Anna to survive because I like characters like her. I suspected she was infected and confirmation was still saddening. Her description of the toll that abuse had on her was a perfect blend of literal physical description and metaphorical for her spiritual pain. Really thought she died off-screen in that last fight and all we would see her bloody remains with a horrified expression; lived in fear and died in fear, her life tragic and her end unnoticed. Glad she didn't happen that way.

The mental connection between Dracula and his turned victims was cool. Very much an aspect of vampire lore I like to see. Makes me wonder if Dracula avoided the ambush because he was in Anna's head; she said "He knows me" as that fog rose up, as if realizing the two-way connection foiled the plan. But then, he used fog to escape the cargo hold so maybe he was just a clever hunter, knowing an ambush was their best chance. The Night Haunter just wishes. Dracula's first "ghoul"/"husk" I forget what Stoker used for a baby vampire, him trying to speak as if trying to warn them was bittersweet and just painful as I realized why he felt burning a second before the shot switched to the sun on the deck.

I'm glad Mr. Clarence survived though I suspect his death occurs off-screen, cat-&-mouse hunting Dracula in the moors, given that Dracula was full-fledged human looking by the time he sees Mina. I felt the last scene was implying that Clarence was the final 'meal' to restore the Count's body to youth.

Using the ship's knocking signal was a great touch; at first I thought it was Clarence having PTSD sound trigger to a random cause but no. And the way Clarence calls out the Count's terror tactics for what they are, calls out his cowardice as a challenge! I loved it!

I am a little confused on a few things, if anyone wants to explain. How come the Romani transporters never noticed the dragon sigils blatantly on every side of the crates and acted surprised by their cargo? How come Anna's connection to Dracula allowed them to know where each other was but she couldn't use that to guide the crew to the coffin, in the day, and prove his existence? Was it a general area of effect instead of homing beacon on her end? Why were so many crates filled with dirt but only 1 had a food source for him? The others seemed empty. I totally expected there to be dead victims. Why so much dirt for one coffin? I know it's the earth of home but why so much? Backup in case his special coffin was lost? Extras for multiple hideouts? Because he's nobility and they never travel light so it was the cheapest way to fake that he was moving a lot of stuff? Why the maggots linked to him, gross factor?

By the end I was hoping for a victorious ending even though I knew it wouldn't happen. I'm not good with horror so I often had to close my eyes so I missed a few things.

Alas, it was a late showing and my job starts before sunrise. Tomorrow will be fun.

I doubt I'll go see it a second time. Partly because my local theatre said Today Only on showtimes and it had one time slot so likely it's gone tomorrow, like the Demeter. Also because I live alone and wished many times in two hours that I had someone to grab onto. If I could handle horror better, I would watch it again.
