Inside me somewhere there will always be that very small child who sat down with her dad to play HIS favourite childhood game and her life was changed forever because that game was The Secret of Monkey Island and it shaped my humour and personality in ways I didn't think possible at the time
#I don't talk enough about my monkey island obsession#like did y'all know I could probably recite every puzzle in the first game start to finish#and I can do insult swordfighting perfectly of COURSE#how appropriate... you fight like a cow...#anyway this game means everything to me#but it doesn't really have a fandom so I don't get the opportunity to be that weird about it#but trust me I am so fucking weird about it#this stupid little game means the actual world to me#monkey island#the secret of monkey island#cass thinks ab stuff#ron gilbert#point and click adventure games

Vincent Price (House on Haunted Hill)—He's so scrungly, scheming constantly, horror icon, sneaking around in secret passages and such, sinister lil mad scientist smile, he's juste a spooky lil guy
Buster Keaton (Sherlock Jr., One Week)—Grandfather of slapstick and did a lot of great stunts for comedy including the first having a set piece down with him standing in the doorway still referenced today, riding a cow catcher on a locomotive, and falling from a third story building through two awnings grabbing a rain gutter falling forward and then going through a window.
This is round 1 of the contest. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. If you're confused on what a scrungle is, or any of the rules of the contest, click here.
[additional submitted propaganda + scrungly videos under the cut]
Vincent Price:

Buster Keaton:
Many scrungly little guys look as if they're falling down a staircase. Buster Keaton actually IS falling down a staircase, every day of his life. Also, truly committing to the "little" part at around 5 foot 5. This competition will be the revenge of the short kings or I will die trying.
Link to the Coney Island fancam
First, he kind of looks like a Dollar Store Charlie Chaplin. Just absolutely busted Chaplin. Second, he's lanky and awkward and he's like if Doug Jones had been plopped into the silent movie era. He looks like a cartoon come to life. He looks like if you gave a chihuahua a human body and slightly less anxiety. And because it's silent films for the most part, it really does look like a cartoon character irl.

Apollo’s version of the hunters
Please note that I am no writer and have never tried expressing an au in words like this before. It might suck a little.
Apollo has a temple for young boys on Delos. They swear themselves to Apollo (like Artemis’s hunters do for her), pray for him, sacrifice food for him. They are basically his modern priests. Inside of their lord’s temple do art, music, medecine etc. all in Apollo’s name. They also take care of Apollo’s holy cows which he has moved to Delos since ancient Greece. In exchange for what they do for him Apollo gives them immortality (like the hunters), makes them stronger and more apt at the things in his domain (they are great healers, musicians , etc.). He loves them (platonically) and acts as something between their dad and their patron god (like how he acts with Rachel). While they don’t advise him, he does care for their pinion as humans both very old and very young. They are kept a secret for their protection. Only a few other people know about this place: the Olympians, other more minor gods who’s sons have joined and Rachel (because she is his oracle and they are in similar situations). Apollo’s priests are mostly abused children, either demigods who prayed to him before or after joining camp or (clearsighted) mortals who prayed as a “joke” or in desperation for anything to save them. Most if not all didn’t think it was going to work since they either didn’t believe in the gods or didn’t believe in their goodness, but he saved them anyways. There are some demigods that weren’t aware of their parentage, but felt drawn towards greek/roman mythology and there are others that knew but never made it to camp or left camp because they didn’t like how violent it was. There is a five year old child that had just heard stories of greek myths from a book that said gods protect mortals (He heard mellowed out versions for children lol) which caused him to pray to Apollo, his favorite god (He’s shiny) when his mother hit him again. Apollo then took him away and got him to join his priests. Because they have been hurt so much and most aren’t fighters, the temple has a magical barrier that keeps them hidden from mortal eyes and masks their smell from monsters. (Other option is doing a thing about how sirens are part of his domain because of the singing and are therefore protecting the island). If they ask to leave that life they are allowed but they will lose their immortality and other added skills (If they learned to play the guitar they won’t suddenly lose that, but their playing won’t be able to magically affect people’s emotions anymore). After TOA Apollo reveals the temple to the other gods and demigods. It then becomes a resting spot for demigods and a sort of hospital. The island moves around (like in the myths) and can sometimes be found by heroes in need.

Even if you never return to this story, I'm blown away with what you made and grateful you shared it with us!! With the flavor of humor and tense moments it genuinely feels like it could be a canon continuation of the game. Best of luck in your creative endeavors <3
Thank you so much!!
Idk if I'll ever finish it, but the end plot is like this:
Buddy goes back to meet Filbo and almost tackles him in a hug before either of them have a chance to stumble over their words. His encounter with the Agent made him realize that he has the choice to trust Filbo, and though he was hurt and shaken deeply, he loves him and that love is worth saving. Filbo is beside himself. For someone who has always been a joke, a tag-along, a half wanted tool, to be revealed as a traitor to the only people who have really grown to love him, to stand on the edge of losing all of it and deserving the loss, it means everything that Buddy comes back for him. It's a validation of who Filbo hoped he was on the inside, which is someone who genuinely is trying their best to help and love, who might deserve to be helped and loved too. Wiggle, Gramble, Beffica, and Triff were all having their poker night when Buddy called Beff to see if she'd pick him up. They were on their way when Snorpy calls Beff in a panic- He implanted a tracker on Buddy (because they're bffs <3) and he knows Buddy is in trouble. He's been tracking him and he knows what it looks like on the screen when a grump is running. Buddy and Filbo's reunion is half interrupted by the agent, who almost catches them in the apartment. They're able to get out but get cornered in a lot.
Filbo gets to stand up for himself to the agent (I had this drafted out but it's been so long the details are fuzzy.) The agent makes a move to murder him, but Buddy jumps in and attacks the agent wild-animal style. The agent drops his gun in the scuffle. Buddy bites the guy and is horrified by the familiar sick feeling he gets when the Agent's disgustingly thick, abnormal blood fills his mouth. He pulls back, already gagging, and gets thrown down. The agent grins.
"Snaks can't eat snaks." The agents eyes are wide and his smile stretches across his face.
The Journalist's mind startles over what the Agent just said, his comprehension cut short by the gunshot and spray of thick, white, batter-like fluid that comes bursting out of the agent as he's shot. The agent's skin bubbles. His eyes roll wildly behind himself, body beginning to lose it's form as he turns in abject rage. He reaches a hand for Filbo, whose trembling paws are holding the smoking gun, but the agent only manages a jerking step forward. His body is moving, roiling, as if there are hundreds of rats squirming under his fur, trying to burst free. Wide white googly eyes erupt from his skin like blisters. The agent's howl is distorted, multi-tonal, and as he lunges towards Filbo, his flesh bubbles free and melts off like sugar from hot metal. His raw white bones tumble down into the squirming goo that had made up his body moments ago, and thousands of little black worms with eyes scatter into the dark. The skeleton is left behind. Filbo and Buddy are clinging to each other before they know it, absolutely cowed. A car door slams. Everyone in the car saw Filbo shoot the agent to save Buddy, saw what the agent was, and they can see the way they're holding each other now. There might be questions, might be anger, and there's definitely a lot of fear, but in the end everyone decides to trust and forgive. They saw what that agent was made out of. There might be more. They need each other more than ever.
(Secret Bonus Theory: The Snakolytes have been trying to make bugsnax/grumpus hybrids for two reasons: to be able to plant a new queen to control the island, and to make a new generation of grumps who might be immune to the parasitic nature of the snax. They want to create a new world, and that means feeding the old one to the island. Everyone who ended up on the island, the main cast of the game, were either someone the Snakolytes were trying to make disappear or they were some kind of unwitting hybrid being sent out to see if they'd have any luck becoming a new queen or integrating in with the snax. The Journalist can't eat the snaks because genetically he is too close to being a snak. He can be set on fire and frozen, he can get thrown off cliffs, he can subsist off of sauces... He's a snak. In my crazy headcanon, Clumby volunteered her own DNA and the Journalist was a test tube baby that the Snakolytes nudged along down his career path. Gramble was right too- The snaks are his kin. His family knew there was something wrong with him from the moment his mother carried him out of the hospital, and that was thanks to the Snakolytes. They have people everywhere. Maybe run background checks on your next midwife, Gramble fam.)

Theseus #5 (The Minotaur)
Theseus treks deeper and deeper into the heart of the Labyrinth, under the low light of the torches. The air grows more stale, the stench of death, ever fouler and more oppressive. But Daedalus’ secret directions prove true, and Theseus successfully navigates to the heart of the labyrinth, where he finds the Minotaur in slumber. Catching the beast by surprise, Theseus fights and grapples with every inch of his power, eventually killing the beast after a brutal, bare-handed struggle.
The Minotaur backstory begins with King Minos of Knossos (Crete) receiving a beautiful, sacrificial white bull from Poseidon as a symbol of the god’s favor. But King Minos, favoring the beauty of the white bull, sacrifices a lesser animal, angering the god. Vowing revenge, Poseidon makes the Queen Pasiphae, a daughter of Helios and a sea nymph, and known as a goddess of witchcraft, fall in lust after the white bull. She enlists the help of Crete’s ingenious inventor and architect, Daedalus, to construct a hollow, wooden cow, which Pasiphae hides within, mating with the white bull. The offspring is the Minotaur; having the head and tail of a bull, and body of a boy. As the child comes of age, he grows savage and bloodthirsty for human meat. Receiving a prophecy from The Oracle at Delphi, Daedalus is once again recruited, this time to build an inescapable labyrinth with which to hold the beast in captivity. The creature having been born from such a scandalous act, imprisoned, and then killed by Theseus, certainly gives the monster one of the more empathetic and tragic backstories in Greek myth.
After Theseus and Princess Ariadne escape Knossos, King Minos imprisons Daedalus and his son in the labyrinth as punishment for failure. In the tale made famous in Ovid’s Metamorphosis, the inventor constructs flight wings form feathers and wax, escaping the island through flight. His son Icarus, fails to heed his fathers warning about flying to near the sun, and the wax melts, sending the boy to his death in the sea below.

Rhys Darby returns to New Zealand for two huge milestones - Spy
Rhys Darby is back in New Zealand.
Why is Kiwi comedy star Rhys Darby back in New Zealand?
Rhys Darby is returning from his base in Los Angeles for a double celebration over the next few weeks - his 50th birthday and a special event to mark his 25 years working as a stand-up comic.
“I’m home for my 50th birthday celebrations,” he reveals to Spy.
Darby hits the big milestone on March 21 and says he, his wife and manager Rosie are planning on a shared party with their family and friends.
A week later, Darby will be in proud parent mode as his eldest son Finn’s band, Great Big Cow, will be performing at The Whammy Bar on Karangahape Rd on March 27.
“So, as a cool dad, I’ll be there of course, with my band manager suit on,” he says.
There will be fun and laughter to have on Waiheke Island the following week too. Popular island spot Wild Estate Vineyard in Onetangi has secured Darby for an exclusive one-off New Zealand show with an intimate audience of only 200 tickets.
Punters can be sure Darby’s will be giving the native birds on the island a squawk for their money with his famous bird calls from his 2021 TV stand-up show Mystic Time Bird.
“The show is called ‘25 Years’ - it is a celebration of my stand-up career,” say Darby.
“I’ve hand-picked the best material from my five comedy specials, and I’ve also added some new stuff,” he divulges. “It’s all killer, so the audience can expect me having a blast, and so I’m sure they will too.”
Wild Estate has become the go-to live venue on Waiheke for comedy and live gigs; last month, the Jordan Luck Band rocked the vineyard, and comedians Nick Rado, Tony Lyall, Paul Douglas and Ruby Esther have all had successful stand-up nights there too.
Darby has been home several times over the last few years, whether to film with his mate Taika Waititi in West Auckland for the second season of their hit HBO Max show Our Flag Means Death in late 2022, or his Kiwi road trip with David Hasselhoff called Hoff the Beaten Track last spring.
Darby finished the year with aplomb, hosting the 51st International Emmy Awards in New York in November.
The production company for his road trip show, Stripe Studios, made headlines last month with the New Zealand Herald’s Media Insider column, penned by Shayne Currie, reporting Stripe for unpaid bills. The production company also filmed a travel-style show with US comedian Iliza Shlesinger. Currie reported the Netflix comedy star is applying to have Stripe Studios (Comedy) Ltd liquidated. Stuff followed up this story, reporting Hasselhoff was also owed money from the production company.
Darby politely had no comment on the state of his and The Hoff’s road trip show, but sources say Darby played a big part in getting as many of its Kiwi crew as he could paid by Stripe.
However, Darby did share that Hollywood has been rather wet and dull so far this year. “I have a few top-secret TV and film projects in development, which I am really looking forward to.”
“What I can reveal is: I’ve been involved in Mukpuddy’s awesome adaptation of Badjelly the Witch,” he says.
“I think it’s going to be so so good!”

Hooded Statues - Marunweem Ruins
Let me take you back to the begining, back to the discovery that inspired me to become a Magiarcheologist. This, in particular, inspired my passion for old ruins lying in the scottish highlands and my obsession for uncovering all of their secrets.
I already did one post about mysterious statues of Hooded Women placed in front of Isidora Morganach's house in Felcroft. But this was actually not the first time I encountered these types of Hooded Statues, strategically placed along a path to lead a passing traveler somewhere.
To the west of the dready hamlet of Marunweem, across the water, there is a small island, framed by two bridges.
Right as you come out of the floo flame, this is the view that you are greeted with:
That's right! several statues of women wearing a hood and holding a rose in their left hand and a wand in their right hand. And, like in the courtyard in front of Isidora Morchanach's house, these statues seem to be placed very intentionally, inviting you to go up to the castle ruins at the top.
If you follow the path, you come to the entrance of an underground tunnel, which leads you to stairs taking you directly inside the ruins. And on the ceiling directly above the stairs there are drawings of magical creatures.
Within the ruins you can usually find sheep or cows grazing and there is also a Merlin trial placed there (which actually begs the question: was this castle already a ruin when Merlin was alive?? Because otherwise, why would he have placed one of his trials in the middle of someone's home!? Or was the casle built on top of an existing Merlin trial? They thought those vine covered pillars and the swirl on the ground looked nice and incorporated them in the architecture?? Food for thought... 😂)
If you wander deeper inside the ruins, you will find a wall with another drawing of a magical creature, placed just above another set of stairs going down.
The stairs lead you to one of the many treasure caves found in the game. But among the many design for these sort of caves, this one leads you to a statue of a woman wearing a hood, this one has her face completely obscured and is holding a staff (more similar to the types of statues found in front of Isidora's house).
This is not the only treasure cave containing a Hooded Woman statue. There are several of those all over the map. But I still though it interesting that this particular cave was within these ruins marked by other Hooded Women statues and that the entrance of this cave was specifically marked by a drawing of a magical creature. I noticed that drawings of magical creatures are used in other places to mark the entrances of dungeons containing Hooded Women. For instance, there is a drawing of a magical creature on the wall just in front of the entrance to the dungeon in Korrow Ruins.
A last feature of this castle ruins is that, on the outer walls, there are several white markings.
(@superconductivebean don't know if you found those, since you were trying to map the location of all these marks in the game!)
These sort of white markings come in several shapes but this particular shape here seems to be the alchemical symbol for soapstone... (make of that what you will!)
And once you want to go out of the castle ruins, there is another statue, placed at the left of the stairs when you first enter the ruins, guiding you to the path on the other side of the island.
If you walk towards that statue, another statue appears, right in front of it, this time a statue of a wizard pointing a wand right at the statue of the Hooded Woman.
This statue of a wizard looks much more ancient that the statue of the Hooded Woman. It has celtic markings on it. A lot of spirals and some markings on the outside of his sleeve that look like suns? I'm not sure. I'm really puzzled by the presence of this statue here. It was probably already on this island before the castle was built and before the Hooded Statues of women were erected. Is this statue the reason this castle was built on this island specifically? You can actually find the same statue of the wizard pointing with his wand in other cairns dungeons in the game, so who is this wizard? Merlin himself? Someone else? Very puzzling...
Anyway, I leave you with a last view of Marunweem ruins, from the other side of the island compared to the floo flame where we came in:
It was really the discovery of this ruin and the statues surrounding it that convinced me that a lot of the world created in this game, even outside of Hogwarts, is intentional and hand-crafted. Each detail that you find, almost, tells it's own story. And this is also the discovery that convinced me that the statues of Hooded Women are not placed randomly, but are used very intentionally to guide the traveler to some points of interest!
After falling in love with Marunweem Ruins, I moved on to other mysteries. But Marunweem Ruins were not done with me and still had another secret to give!!
Recently, while researching something else entirely (trying to pinpoint the location of some ruins related to the mysterious Forgotten Witch), in the game files, I stumbled upon a Floo Flame location bearing the name of "Old Isidora Castle"
Of course I had to find out where this specific Floo Flame was! And lo and behold, the coordinates lead me straight to my beloved Marunweem Ruins and the Floo Flame located on the island!
That's yet another piece of evidence that Isidora (and not any of the other Keepers) is connected to these statues of Hooded Women.
Did Isidora build this castle? Did she live there at some point in her life? If so, why did she not hide a part of her triptych here? Why did she have two other secret hideouts (the Overlook Mine and the Mountain Cavern) where she worked? Plenty of mysteries left to uncover!

Not a request, just a headcanon dump cuz i need someone to rant to about them! ^_^
Alex's Hatchetfield Headcanons
Paul Matthews used to sing and dance all the time as a child, but stopped when someone in his class in freshman year started bullying him for it to the point he also ended up hating musicals (especially after watching Hatchetfield High's production of Brigadoon). NOW HEAR ME OUT- IT WOULD BE SO FUNNY BUT SO SAD FOR PAUL TO HAVE A BACKGROUND IN MUSICAL ARTS BECAUSE FIRST OF ALL DID YOU HEAR HOW EASILY HE HIT THEM HIGH NOTES IN LET IT OUT?!!! WHEN HE WASNT EVEN FULLY INFECTED?!?!?!?!!!
Literally every single John Matteson character is autistic in some way. Including Wiggog Y'Rath. Bro has the eldritch equivalent or smthn.
Linda Monroe is half british. I really don't know how to explain this one but i just feels right to me.
Richie Lipschitz forgets he's 18 a lot because he thinks he's mentally still 13/14 due to COVID + his obsession with anime. Someone will call him a perv/pedo for liking one of the girls in MHA or smthn and he'll defend himself by saying "but i'm a minor too?!" and then he just pauses for a sec to think about what he just said. And then would cry about it into his body pillows at home after school.
Ruth Fleming is hypersexual. There, I said it.
Max Jägerman is an older brother, and his younger sibling gets all the attention from their dad, leaving Max to be kinda neglected and 'shunned' (abused) by his dad, all because he was the "bad child".
To add onto the previous headcanon, Max has a raging inferiority complex to which he uses his bullying and faux confidence to hide behind. Kinda like a Katsuki Bakugo typa beat but ... not? If that makes sense??
Due to intense religious beliefs , Grace Chastity's parents never taught her the quote unquote 'birds and the bees' because they thought it would be sinful to speak of such a thing to their daughter. This caused Grace to think she was being possessed or smthn when she first got her period because according to her logic/knowledge why else would she be bleeding from the 'mommy spot'? She also figured out the "self pleasure" on her own, but would do it in secret because she knew it was sinful and her parents would be disappointed in her. She never understood why it felt good though, all she knew was that it helped to stop the butterflies in her stomach whenever she thought of Max.
Stephanie Lauter is DEFINITELY chronically online, like that girl says W Rizz for SUREEE. To the point where she taught her dad what mewing was and he wouldn't stop doing it all day.
Yet another Paul Matthews headcanon because he's my special little sunflower, ummm... Paul doesn't just like black coffee, he also loves dark chocolate, and i mean like 85% cocoa dark. Although the rest of his family think he's a weirdo for it, they still get him a bar or two for his birthday + christmas every year. FOREVER AND ALWAYS SPECIFIC HC -> Emma made their wedding cake a dark chocolate/black coffee version of tiramisu as a little surprise for Paul <3
Charlotte Sweetly is a purple person in theory but not in execution, as in she ADORES purple, but cannot be bothered to buy lots of purple furniture,decor etc
Ted Spankoffski knows how to crochet!! Charlotte taught him how to in highschool (i see them as being childhood friends) and he just kinda kept it as a hobby.
Both Ted and Peter Spankoffski's favourite animal is (ironically) goats. Their parents used to live near a farm so the two grew up around farm culture and got to meet the goats and cows etc at this farm. Peter's baby toy was a crochet goat stuffie that his older brother made for him <3
Ruth's room is COVERED in stuffed animals and posters and random things she's collected over the years. She also has a notebook full of all her stuffed animals' names written in blue glitter gel pen that Richie lent her for an art project in freshman year that she never gave back.
Finally, Hatchetfield itself is a small island town on Lake Michigan, hence how the only way to get to it is across a body of water (Clivesdale has to put bridges up/down to gain access). Also that the Lords In Black utilise Tinky's abilities to create new Earths to destroy them over and over. Except the one detail they keep the same/ongoing is Hatchetfield and its residents. Because they're obsessed with them for some reason. Tinky and Nibbly more so than others .
I do apologise for how long this is but i needed to get it out of my notes app 😭😭 ~ Alex, @wiggogwiggogyrath
OH MU GOD I LOVE ALL OF THEAE
I CANT GET THE IDEA OF STEPH BEING IN THE BACKGROUND OF ONE OF HER DAD’S INTERVIEWS OF TV AND MEWING OUT OF MY HEAD 😭😭

Things have been CRAZY since the Thunder saga release! I love it SO MUCH! Thank you thank you Jorge and cast and crew and everyone it was amazing! (Also, Jay, pay for my therapy-)
Anyway, here's my immediate reactions to the Thunder Saga as I listened to it when it dropped at my midnight! (I'm australian, so I got to listen to it 12 hours before the Livestream lol)
Oh btw; copious amounts of swearing ahead. I had zero filter on my thoughts while smashing my keyboard as the songs played, so lmao yeah
oh what the fuck Penelope motif in EDM???
oh my god it's a fucking odypen duet.
"Jump in the water" naiad penelope??
DAUGHTER???
OOH MY FUCKING GOD NO IT'S SUFFERING???? THE SUFFERING!!! FROM THE CUT SONG CLIP! HE FUCKING JUKED US! HE LIED! JORGE WHEN I FUCKING CATCH YOU-
omg they're so cute
NO IT'S THE FUCKING ZEUS/INFANT TUNE??!!!!
Scylla!! Circe theme!
Is this. This has to be the sirens right??
OH MY FUCKING GOD IT'S LIKE THE START OF POLYPHEMUS WITH THE ARROW SHOT.
the grunge thing in the background reminds me of that one BNHA s5 ost track with the MLA boss. Uhhh Re Destro I think?
Oh god IT'S THE FUCKING SIRENS!! JAY FUCKING LIED A G A I N !!
ODY WHAT THE FUCK YOUR VOICE WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS SO FUCKING BADASS WHAT
Oh I just looked at the title it's called Different Beast!!
Beeswax!! They did the thing!
"So I just played along" -> "now I know how to get back to my island!" omg holy fuck Ody you're so fucking smart
This is just Suffering part 2 and I love it so much
Oh my fucking god. Ruthless odysseus is a fucking DIFFERENT BEAST.
NOT THE "WHOA" FROM REMEMBER THEM WHEN THEY'RE STABBING OUT POLYPHEMUS' EYE!!!
Holy fuck. That was insane. OMG IT'S SCYLLA TIME!! What the fuck those two songs went by so fast. Scylla's ALREADY HERE??
EURYLOCHUS' SECRET
HE OPENED THE FUCKING WIND BAG I KNEW IT!! BUT BRO REALLY JUST CAME OUT AND SAID IT! MY MOUTH LITERALLY DROPPED OPEN!!
NOT THE FORGIVE ME!
FULL SPEED AHEAD
OH GOD SCYLLA'S VOICE IS SO PRETTY
Odysseus totally ignoring his confession
AHHHHHH IT'S HERE!! THE FIDDLE !! IT'S HER!!!
"DROWN in your sorrows and fears!" THE GROWL!!
The death screams holy shit
"We are the same you and... I" Omg the harmonising.
Wait that's IT??? NOOOOO. But oh god it's Mutiny next
The orchestral LRO theme!!
Ohhh Eury's fucking pissed. Oof that spat "captain"
Wait I have to go back, I didn't catch that. Something wits something crazy and mad?
"When we fought the cyclops" It's this part!!! Ooh this is before the LRO reprise? 👀
ooof he's pissed.
*sword through flesh sound effect* - Ohhh that's fucking sickening
Oh shiiiit. wait wait wait that's Ody's voice. Did the crew just stab Ody in the back???? Wait I have to go back.
Oh they DID.
Yo wtf? Time skip?? Oh they didn't kill him??
oh fuck the cow sounds
Wait wait no oh shit Eury's singing the Zeus/survive melody???
"Please don't tell me you're about to do what I think you'll do!" Oh shit but that was EURYLOCHUS' LINE!! NO STOP
HE CALLED HIM ODY!
"I'm tired my friend!" NO NO NO
"Please don't do this! I need to get. Home!" ODYSSEUS' VOICE 😭
Ok but the ensemble and strings and shit is heavenly oh god
THE JUST A MAN NOOOO
*angry choir noises* - ohhhh they're fucked
did. Did eurylochus just try to suicide them??
"WHO DO YOU THINK HE'LL SEND?" Oh god ody that was raw
FULL SPEED AHEAD
*Thunder sounds* - oop
Aaand there's an ad. Fuck.
THE THUNDER!!!
STRIKE! he's HERE!!
AHHHH IT'S HIM!! LUKE THE LIGHTNING BOLT HOOOOLT!!!
i'm just going to adore these glorious vocals for a sec
"Choose." ohhh fuck
NO NOT THE CALL BACKS TO THATI AND JAM
OH GOD AND THE SIRENS TOO???
ooh the rain
oh bye bye eury
YO WTF. IT'S TELEMACHUS' LULLABYE. IS THAT THE END. IS THAT IT. WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT DOES IT MEAAAN
yeah that sounds like closing credits for real. If I didn't know he survives then I'D THINK HE'S DEAD FOR SURE
-
IT'S OVER????? Holy shit. Bro I have to just. Sit. For a second.
Ok I'm listening to that over. God.
The LYLA chick or whatever! From Spiderverse! That's who the "oh no *rolls eyes*" reminded me of!
Also, is this why Jorge said the 12 long years was wrong in TAOW? 'Cause it sounds like they've spent a while running from Poseidon after The Underworld saga, so was it intended for there to be a timeskip of two years between the Acts?
Ohhh wait shit. Did Scylla influence Eurylochus' decision to tell?? Is that what Jorge meant by her having some sort of telepathy?
So "reason for shame" and "we are the same" is to both of them - Eury for the bag, and Ody for what he's planning on letting happen - and "leaving them feeling betrayed" is because both things make the other feel betrayed?
oh god wait was I right about that too?? Six torches. Six men. He definitely planned that then. Shiiit
Yep that's six death screams.
Ohh yo. Eurylochus wanted all the power. He took the power from Odysseus. And then Ody game him all the blame when Zeus arrived.
There's boat creaking noises in the pause before "Then you have forced my hand." Huh I guess it makes sense that they're still on the boat. I guess my mental image was influenced by the beach fight vid XD

She chewed away too focused on her work to really pay much mind to anything but her drawing and the taste of the gum. Her stomach swam with joy as she gulped down mouthfuls of the delightful juice. She rocked out to her music as she walked from her work desk to her kitchen. Chewing away she was oblivious to the slight differences. Her happy tummy became more noticeable as the cloth of her dress tightened. The indent of her bellybutton became clear as she chewed like a happy cow. It was almost subtle as her hips slowly widened. Her jawline softened and her cheeks got rounder. She sorted there the night’s ingredients for dinner as she slowly developed a prominent pot belly. Her ass crept backwards in the skirt of her dress. The curve of her spine deepened as she slowly developed belly hang. Lightly of course but her hips and thighs widened as she turned down right chunky. She merrily chewed as her round fat face grew. The curvy girl now a chewing cow as her tits pushed forward. She reached for a bowl on the island and her soft gut bounced against the counter. The collision was slow but hard as that large swell of flesh had never existed before. A surprised cry of shock and groan as she tried to get forward again and strained to reach the bowl. The spilt second response turned to her plump face filled with shock as jaw dropped (but then dutifully chewed) as the girl turned cow chewed wide-eyed as she destroyed her figure. Fearful to touch herself and the discomfort from the ease her new middle touched the counter caused her stumble backwards arms up. There was a strong irrational need to avoid the fat she could see on herself like it was contagious. The once trim model’s mind raced as she tried to comprehend her new state. The belly just kept on the slow march forward as she passed the mid two hundreds her petite frame and slight shortness made her look enormous as the fat had less space. Sadly the newly flesh endowed cow had yet to put two and two together and kept her chewing up. A subtle stupor crept across her body and mind. Muscles vaporated and her awareness dulled like an intense bong rip in college before her tolerance was up. She bounced on the counter behind her much easier than before too. Enormous ass bounced and shocked her to partial awareness as she felt the tickle of tight skirt up her thighs and the feeling of cool air on the bottoms of her asscheeks. She looked back and stumble forward her thick ass and gut made the ample space between counters and kitchen island seem restrictive to her new body. Every chew and chomp exploded with a warm light burn of pleasure like being drunk yet soothed like being stoned. Aware of every added inch but as burning passionate pleasure now. Somehow her full awareness made it more addictive even as the old her beat against the back of her eyes. The old careful her, the old trim and curvy her a prisoner as she turned into a cow before her one eyes. The dull warm joy as fat swelled under her skin bare arms burned with fresh red stretch marks as her once thing form struggled to contain her. To contain her greed, her pleasure, the secret self only freed self-indulgence could let out. The shock melted like her expansive waistline as she shuddered as she touched her body. The swells the freedom to press out without restraint beyond words.

Mutiny 2.0
mutiny!!! once again :D
@thesfromhms @sombrathedragon @myfairkatiecat @imnotskyguy-remake @bookwormgirl123
@ham-cheese-toastie @justalunaticfangirl
"Tell me you didn't know that would happen," Keefe could feel the guilt pouring off of Fitz, but what scared him most was the resolve hiding underneath. Almost like Fitz didn't regret it.
No one knew what the sirens said to the captain, only that they'd given a route home. If Keefe had known why Fitz had been so secretive...
Maybe his friends wouldn't have died. If he'd asked one more question. If he'd known the monster they'd face. Maybe he could've stopped this.
"Look me in the eyes, Fitz." He wouldn't look away from the ocean, so Keefe stepped forward. "Tell me you didn't just give up six of our friend's lives, Fitz, please."
Fitz gripped onto the side of the balcony tighter. The guilt welled up even higher, taking Keefe's breath away.
"SAY SOMETHING!" He shouted, hating how his voice cracked.
Finally, this seemed to get a reaction from Fitz, who spun around, giving Keefe his first real look at him since Scylla. His hair lay stuck to his face, artfully messy in a way Keefe couldn't help but admire; his eyes were darting everywhere, almost wild-looking, but the teal still took Keefe's breath away.
He was always so effortlessly handsome.
"I CAN'T!" Fitz's scream cut through his thoughts and shattered the silence.
Keefe swallowed, and the lump was almost painful. He drew his sword, determined to protect the last few men he had with him.
"Then you have forced my hand." Fitz seemed to pale, which at any other time Keefe would have found hilarious. The consequences of your actions... He smothered a snort.
"Keefe..." his voice was quiet, nervous, and his emotions radiated it too. "Lower your weapon."
What did Fitz think Keefe was going to do? He'd willingly let six people die. Keefe couldn't let that happen again.
"You miss Sophie so bad you're willing to kill." Keefe spat out Sophie's name like it was poison-she was a great person, sure, but worth sacrificing people? No.
A hot flash of anger erupted from Fitz. Of course.
Fitz drew his own sword. "I don't want to fight you! You would do the same if you were in my position."
Keefe adjusted his grip on his weapon, his palms feeling sweaty. "If you want to make all the choices you get to have all of the blame!" He lunged at Fitz, slashing a cut through his clothes.
How am I supposed to trust you now? Keefe thought as hard as he could, wondering if Fitz's telepathy actually didn't work or he was lying.
The captain seemed to flinch, though that might have been from the cut.
Fitz advanced forward. "Keefe, you need to move because you are not getting in my way." With each flash of their swords Keefe could feel himself get more and more lightheaded as Fitz's guilt seemed to melt away, hiding itself into something smaller. Fury and determination grew in its place.
Keefe lunged forward, and in an attempt to block Fitz's sword, he moved forward too far and it cut through his clothes-and, Keefe realized with growing horror, embedded itself in Fitz. Fitz let out a loud, horrible scream, and staggered back.
A huge wave of pain rushed through Keefe's blood and he immediately kneeled next to him.
"No, no no," Keefe muttered, and yelled behind him. "Do any of you know how to clean a wound?"
No one answered, so he yelled at them to find the nearest island. He needed to help Fitz. He was furious at him, but he was still his friend.
He turned around, trying to ignore Fitz's body, and called for all the crew to dock at the nearest island-they were running low on food.
In a few hours, they'd found one, with hundreds of bright red cows dotting the landscape. When they landed, Keefe told everyone to stay on the ship while he scoped it out.
After a few minutes, he'd decided that it seemed generally safe, though he still couldn't find a single human soul that he could ask to give Fitz come help.
Next to him, a cow mooed.
Keefe could feel his stomach growl.
"Where are we?" asked Fitz, and Keefe jumped, hating himself for letting Fitz sneak up on him. Turning around, Keefe saw that Fitz was being supported by two of the crew members, his dark brown hair frizzy across his face and his signature smile a little wobbly.
Keefe wanted to make a comment about how he shouldn't be standing up but kept his mouth shut.
"We're on an island-the first we found." Keefe turned to him, forcing a grin on his face even when he felt the huge amount of pain Fitz was in.
He kind of deserves it, though. A tiny part of his brain reminded him. Because of him, six people are dead.
Fitz pointed to one of the cows, talking to him almost like Keefe hadn't nearly killed him hours before.
"These are Apollo's cows, you see that statues over there?" Keefe could barely hear him, fingering the grip on his sword. How long could one cow feed the crew?
At least a week, and they'd be actually full for the first time in a while.
A wave of panic coursed through his veins, and he snapped his head over to Fitz.
"Please don't tell me you're doing what I think you're doing." Fitz told him. "These cows-they're sacred. We can't kill them."
Keefe laughed, a sad, quiet laugh. "Fitz, you know as well as I do that we're never going to make it home."
Fitz shook his head quickly, and placed his hand on his sword again. "You don't know that, Keefe." He stepped back, and Keefe quietly missed the proximity. "This is the home of the sun god, do you know what will happen if we kill his cows?"
He ignored Fitz, and quietly unsheathed his sword. "How much longer do we need to suffer, Fitz?" Taking a step forward, He heard Fitz's panicked voice behind him, asking him to stop.
"How much longer until you decide that we're not important enough to go home? How much longer until you decide that you want to see Sophie so badly that all of us have to die?"
Fitz flinched, and Keefe took the opportunity to kill the cow, and Fitz let out a yell.
"What have you done?" Keefe spun his head around at the terror in Fitz's voice and in his veins. "You've doomed us all, Keefe! The cows were immortal-the sun god's friends! Who do you think he'll send now that you've killed one?" Keefe's blood turned to ice.
What had he done?
Fitz staggared up to the ship, but Keefe quickly scooped him up and sprinted onto the ship.
"Everyone, grab an oar and row as fast as you can!" Fitz roared.
The entire crew did as they were told, with punctuated with shouts of "Faster!" coming from Fitz, until a clap of thunder came and pure terror radiated off of him, his face turning deathly pale.
"We're too late."

Finally able to get everyone else out of the house for a couple of hours leaving her around with her precious Ruby. Kali dressed up in her sexiest outfit and waited to surprise her
The plump team leader had been a bit bummed that she hadn't gotten any alone time with her secret lover. But she had fun walking around the island, so many people were nice. Although many seemed to think she was some kind of cow or pig faunus. Maybe it was just in her head, but she walked back to the mansion, to go get her scroll in her bedroom. Wanting to take some pictures for Dad and uncle Qrow.

TRANSMISSION 13!
oh man I am feeling very AAAAAAAAAAAAA so imma just pop my rambles under the cut in case anybody hasn't watched yet, lol
1. okay right off the bat I was surprised to see that M.A.I.A.'s room looks so much brighter than it has in the past??? damn, she REALLY needed a new light bulb, huh?
Still got a crack in that window, though... 😑 C'mon Matt, it'll let all the pests in. no fog allowed!!!
images are from transmissions for TGMH, TGOA, & today
granted, the room from the TGMH era has a space view so it makes sense that it's so dark, but I think it's interesting that there's definitely a difference between the room in TGOA and the room today, despite them both having a nice daytime view out the window.
does this ✨️mean✨️ anything? maybe not but I think it's interesting, especially considering how bright this episode's cover is. perhaps we could extrapolate something about coming out of the shadows and into the light of discovery, having hope for brighter days, but idk. I'm not gonna think too hard about it right now, lol.
also I just love Jackie's art and want to live in this room. M.A.I.A., do you want a roommate??? I can bring a dehumidifier to keep a certain foggy bastard from messing with you—
2. okay so we have more confirmation that Rose is gonna be two weeks older than Samuel, which is. agh. 🥲😭 /pos
Matt also tells us the episode kind of takes place immediately after TGOA—
"Some of us traveled through time. ...Again."
—so I think we're definitely gonna have some interesting time-hopping. dunno how that's gonna play out, if we'll have flashbacks or whole parallel timelines happening, but I am very excited to see! ...er, listen!
3. the arrrrrrrrt oh my god it's so pretty! I love Jackie's scenery and I am SO EXCITED to see what else she's done when we get more transmissions and/or the episode broadcasts!
the cow is so cute, I love the cow. i hope somebody pets the cow.
I wish I could pet the cow.
also hey, are those buildings for/from Travelers or is there anybody else living on Lincoln Island???
4. it's neat that the episode is building off of the setting of The Mysterious Island without following the events. The calm before the storm Inspiration comes in many forms!
I actually don't know the original story at all but these places sound interesting! A house made of granite, a towering volcano, a grotto with an incredible secret.... sounds like great staging for our next episode. and some good Jackie art.
I wonder if the grotto's secret has anything to do with a certain Searcher captain whose whereabouts are currently unknown. 👀
5. gotta wait till the next transmission to hear about Ahlaam and Dakkar and any other characters—hopefully we'll get to hear a little something about my beloved Captain Addison Arvad???? 👉🏻👈🏻
#okay thats all for now i think#why did i number these? idk my brain is scrambled between pulp excitement and children being distracting#but quick question mr dahan how am i supposed to do anything now??? 😂#man i love pulp#so excited for episode 4#jack jabbers#pulp musicals#pulp musicals 4#pulp musicals tsits#the searcher in the shadows#tsits#pulp musicals maia#maia#m.a.i.a.#maia transmission#transmission 13#pulp musicals theory
