#so he doesn't get an i love you LMAOOOOOOOO

[abigmessofablog]

i love you, characters who have the explicit purpose of representing entire concepts in the narrative. i love you, characters bigger than themselves. i love you allegorical characters. i love you characters so wrapped in metaphor and the creator philosophizing through you it eclipses you as a "person," i love you characters who haunt the narrative long after you're gone. i love you characters who are doomed because the thing that they represent are doomed. i love you characters who are more lesson then character.

I’m in love with Manny trying to help Danny feel less insecure about certain parts of himself, but may I suggest this?

Danny’s death scar or death mark, whatever you call it, is something Danny is mostly okay with. It only becomes something he doesn’t like when he tells people where he got it and they give him horrified looks. He gets that death is a big deal, but to him, it happened so long ago. Other than that, he’s not upset about it. He’s learned how to ignore the stares from people. At first, SpongeBob was the only one in the team who knew what it was, but with time and trust, Manny will learn what a death scar is and why Danny’s scar hasn’t faded away like most litchenberg scars usually do. Don’t get me wrong, I love Danny trying to hide his scar and avoiding conversation about it, but there’s something magical and funny about something like-

Manny: So where’d you get this scar?

Danny: When I died. Ghosts call it a death scar or death mark.

Manny: Qué?!

LMAOOOOOOOO. Can you imagine the tension? Manny would always be bragging about his scars, recounting the fights he got them in, so I can imagine he'd think there was a cool story behind Danny's. Then, when Danny drops the truth on him, Manny laughs at first, thinking he's exaggerating, but then realizes that everyone else in the room has frozen up and not making eye contact. So Manny's autistic ass has to kick itself into overdrive and try and figure out if this is some sort of social cue he hasn't picked up on yet or if Danny's being serious.

My favorite type of Danny content to imagine is stuff where Danny drops those random out of left-field comments that causes everyone around him to think, "Oh fuck, he's actually been through some shit."

I'm actually kind of in the "Danny has super-extreme exoplasm-fueled regen so he doesn't scar" camp, BUT I have also recently been introduced to the idea of deathdays in the phandom. So combining those two ideas...imagine that even though Danny's lichtenberg scar has completely healed, as he gets closer to his deathday anniversary, the scar starts coming back. I'd imagine he hates it. Like one day he's just brushing his teeth and he can see in the mirror that the pale scar tissue is more prominent along his arm than it was the previous night, reminding him that he's less than a week away from his deathday. He'd always wear hoddies or long sleeves the week before and after his deathday, when it's noticeable. But as years go by and he gets more comfortable with the Unite Gang he doesn't think about hiding it anymore.

Then, after getting together with Manny, he wakes up to Manny swearing in Spanish, thinking that Danny somehow got electrocuted when they were sleeping. Danny would be totally confused at first, until Manny grabs Danny's arm and points at the scar and Danny's just like... "Oh yeah, I haven't told you about deathdays yet, have I?"

Then, as they're sitting at the kitchen table, Danny sipping on his coffee and Manny's untouched because he's processing all this new information, Manny's first question will be: "So it's like a super bad once-a-year period?"

Okay, here is my live reaction to this week's episode:

"Gagatron sickening

What did he just say about me?

It's a compliment

Oh. "

Lmaoooooooo

Deborah said: we're being rude? Awesome, cool, my fucking turn

Oh right I forgot they have to have that Lady with them at all times

THEY GOT KRISTEN BELL, FUCK YEEEES

Oh so that's what the stalker Deborah scene is about, huh

That was so painfully awkward but my gods Deborah is adorable, and she was so pleased with herself

Dance mom?

NO, NOT THE FUCKING COUPLE, I CAN'T STAND THEM, DON'T EVEN MENTION THEM

"My parking spot is closer to the door you fucking looser" What kinda elementary school brag is this

Lmao, not the lovers (host and head writer) spat over how to raise their child (what to do on their show) IN THE BATHROOM

I- WHY, JUST WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I mean, she did finally get her threesome, and it's not a good one

Okay Jimmy and Kayla are so sweet to the dance mom

THAT HAIR?!?!! DEBORAH WTF

Ava's cringing almost as much as I am wherever I see her fucking partners

You know what would be a better tropule than Ava and her whatevers? Jimmy, Kayla and Dance mom, I'm not even joking

I SERIOUSLY CANNOT WITH DEBORA'S HAIR

But hey, at least her and Ava agree about something

Oh no, is this the part where Deb comes across Ava on the date....

Runs right to Ava, okay, cool cool, and that smirk means something bad I just know it

Okay, Deb stop acting as if you wouldn't love to be in a threesome with Ava babes

Lmao she just invited herself, if that doesn't say a lot

"Is there a fourt" Why, you interested?

No seriously I know inside she's seething with jealousy

"Ava used to live in my guest suit" Now, interesting you bring that up Deborah

The look on Deb's face when Ava said "not that well" As if they didn't spend every possible moment with each other including falling asleep in the same bed before, and got to know each other on level to which no other relationship in their life's compare, but okay

Oh fuuuuuuck, Ava what the fuck are you doing

Deb looks so hurt, my poor baby

The fuck you mad about Ava

Ava, no, what the fuck are you doing

Gods both of them are just so stubborn ffs

"How did me letting you get to know me work out" Oh she's HURT hurt

Hr lady???? Okay diva, let them have it

Is it just me or is Ava gonna quit

Okay dance mom is adorable I can't lie

Okay, I think them dancing together was cute, and that hug?!? Deborah I know what you are

Deborah wants to always have the winning hand...

Once again, the song at the end?!?!?

[darkcloudsatnight]

I love the idea of classic engie (Fred) being dells dad but also like imagine the drama of meeting your sons boyfriend for the first time and he's trying to kill you and all your friends

And then like a couple months later your sons like hey "hey dad I'm finally bringing that guy I've been talking about over" and you both just have to pretend you didn't try and kill each other because dell doesn't know about it and he'd be sad

LMAOOOOOOOO IMAGINE HOLY-

It's def gonna go something like:

Engie: "Hey pa, this is the guy I've been tellin' ya 'bout... he seems pretty menacing, but I swear, he's a sweetheart."

Both Soldier and Fred: Are you fucking kidding me-

Fred: "Oh he's.... great."

Soldier: "Great to meet you... maybe."

Engie: They're getting along so well.

LIKE LMAOOOOOOOO

Lust Love in the Desert, ep 9 liveblogging

Yunpei Lord, on his lil podium in the lantern show & mumbling to himself & captive Rong Huo: "When one is powerful enough, everything in this world will surrender at his feet."

me & Rong Huo:

ML has infiltrated the festival as... a performing dance trope. Ok?

To distract us all from the twirling, FL brings out a full ass tea set to the stage

lmaoooooooo both ML and SML have teams on the ground cued to an 'action whistle' and they're canceling each other out 😂😭

Now random concubine is trying to show up the FL with her own tea and actually doing her a favor by causing more distraction

ML drawing a bit of not silvia recommended attention by asking for tea served by the princess as a reward.

"The tea is cold." "But my heart is hot." ok, SMOOTH. and he passed her a lil note thing.

still dumb, sorry

General Wu proposes a tea(?) battle between FL and the other concubine, to get her tribe some oasis. I'm guessing this was already planned by the Lord.

Ah the note has "I miss you", damn ML has romancing skills

Yunpei Lord made a big deal at the festival about exempting his residents from taxes but now he's underlining to the general that this money better be re-couped from the weaker tribes. I'm making like the nanny in Are You The One, 'what a sin, what a sin..'

This Lord is just so in love with himself. Like he's clever but so up his own ass that eventually that'll be his downfall.

Ruo Ren and the Desert CIA have now both figured out they're both in the city and plotting shit.

Ruo Wen also finally notices he misplaced his non-girlfriend last night but whatever, moving on lol

His first priority right now is meeting with Team ML to stir up some shit together

ML is supportive of Ruo Wen's Yunpei conquering plan and is gonna hook him up w a weapons connection.

Oh did 2ML not actually forget her and is asking for help from Desert CIA? tbh it's a bit confusing because he flashes a piece of paper and it's the same portrait paper he had with FL's picture before. But it wouldn't make sense that he doesn't know where FL is. He just saw her last night on stage. So it must be a new pic of Princess 2.

Princess 2 was kidnapped by a brothel and her rich girl temper tantrums are not gonna cut it. She needs to pick up some of her non-boyfriend's famed martial arts.

ML just walking into the Lord's home to seduce his woman some more. This time it's some mutual lute playing.

This man has the worst security I stg.

EVeryThiNG in tHis WOrld wiLL sUrrENder aT HiS feET. 🤡

Faux-enunch at the door to be impotently suspicious and also inform us it will be a needlework competition among ladies. ok.

Where's Wei Yingluo when you need her

Our ML still creeping around the house, watching his crush embroider, sneaking a baked good she left out for him. This relationship is so weird, I kinda love it.

Yunpei Lord comes back to try to intimidate a reclining Rong Huo yet again, then very poorly lies that he just wants to find his brother to share the city with him

Rong Huo: didn't u kill him as a kid 😏

Lord: I'm not gonna give up 😤

Rong Ruo: k have fun with that 😝

The missing kid of the former lord is very obviously our birthmarked 2ML

oh noooo someone stole the needlework threads from FL's competition (obviously the rival concubine)(or just the Lord fucking with her)

But why do we care?

sweet tooth, good dentist : episode #1

well hellow, I'm back! life is going in all sorts of fucky directions, i am on the verge of losing my job (or pay a hefty sum of money to my greedy ass company) and my mental health is fucked. but! today is finally time for the dentist show. i had a few spoilers already before watching this, but nothing major so i had a tonne of fun! let's go!!

you can find all episode reactions here!

bruh, no wonder he took a trip to the dentist if he named his fandom “the cavity crew” 😭

ah yes, i just remembered what his actual name is lmao

and there i was thinking “he doesn't seem like a doc though” 🤣

love how his priorities are set right lmaoooooooo

and of course it's the weird dentist oh my lord 🤣🤣🤣🤣

(also what is that picture oh my god, i bet he never gets any matches with that.... or maybe he does because he is quirky and cute, who knows 🤷🏽‍♀️)

OH MY GOD DJJAWHHSHSHXHHXBSHAHHWWUHAA

I AM DYING GOOD LORD 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

oh this is straight out of a bollywood movie 😳

he's my new little pathetic meow-meow

(also, yes i noticed the neck pillow. very accurate. gmmtv should make that into a merch)

nawww poor baby his entire face is swollen 🥹

this is a very accurate portrayal of the middle class approach to healthcare lmao (we do this here in the country all the time and it's pretty hilarious to see that the same logic applies to countries that are not india🤣)

(crois)sant is so real for this 🤣

jway is literally me when i see cishet couples doing cringe ass pda 😩

the face of a man who's out for blood and fears no one 🤣

what did i say? he's shameless. (*whispers* and i love him to death)

bhai organ taskari ka shikar ho jayega tu, nikal ja 😩

(my desi moots will understand, but for the non-indians — “bro you'll become a victim of organ trafficking, run!”)

that's the kinda bestie you need in your life. sant is winning fr

oh. good lord. my heart 🥺

well, fellas, I'm afraid we've found our new ship 😬

annnnnnnd with that we have come to an end of ep#1. very enjoyable and silly so far, i hope the story won't get too complicated but i do want to see some serious things (and i think we'll get them if the tone so far is any indication). another thing i loved as an old school romantic is the use of the cinema reel format to showcase the flashbacks (a little too many of them to follow properly, but that's alright, I'm a little forgiving in terms of flashbacks heh). also too many other moments that didn't fit in here (because 30 image limit) but those will have separate posts because this show deserves it. moreover, i've always loved mark's acting but this guy ohm, goddamn, he is my new baby hah! he is a pretty good so far and hasn't made me cringe even once (which is my indicator for bad acting if I'm being honest). so. so far so good!

see you next episode! 😚

[artifeast]

KINGMAKER EP22!!!!!!! lil liveblog with excessive use of capslock under the cut for this ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL EP

eisen going "stop it" when colette sneezes LMAOOOO

OMGGGG SOOOOOOO SOSOSOSOSO FUN HEARING ARIADNE TALK IN COLETTE'S BODY

yeah girl. experience the Tortures

WIZARD OIL. i would like some wizard oil perchance.

AAAAND COLETTE!!!! GODDD THE VOICE ACTING IS AMAZINGGG

colette's wails in ariadne's voice is so peculiar to hear

oh. oh. oh ariadne's attempt at colette's voice. that's it i'm killing her right now DHFVDVFDVHFVDHVFHVDHFV

WAIT GODDDDDDDD COLETTE'S ATTEMPT AT ARIADNE'S VOICE SHJSFVHDVFHJVDF THEY'RE KILLING MEEEE. they're so bad at this.

ARIADNE DOESN'T REMEMBER THEIR NAMESSSSS. GODDDD

the way she says eisen's name is gfdhhfgfhgf. something about the delivery is so funny

filled with complete primal rage at the way ariadne's abusing colette's vocal chords. the NOISES she's MAKING. "YOU SILLY GOOSE YOU!" GSCGFSDFCVGSFS

eisen's excellent taste in coffee making an appearance

there's a million things wrong with ariadne's portrayal of colette already. the coffee's just the cherry on top

TERPSICHORE

THE IMMEDIATE STABBING

colette (as ariadne) going "BONE CLAW NOW!" is so SO funny

NOT ARIADNE WITH THE PLASMA AXE!!!!

love seeing telesphore teleport left and right. he's so cooool 🥰

WALKING IN ON COLETTE TALKING ABOUT CLOTHING, WITH JOHN NONE THE WISER THAT IT'S HER. LOL

TROLLOP?!?!??!!!?

✨THE CIRCUS MUSIC!!!! YIPPEE FUN TIMES!!!!✨

i sneeze like eisen. except 2x louder 😔

omgggg their VOICES!!!

LMAOOOOOOOO POOR EISEN

valuable tiny lore details here in this scene. good neighbors see in more colors AND more dimensions. and eisen is balding

THE BRIEF ARIADNE+TELSIE SWAP LOL. they didn't even get to play around with each other's powers like was discussed in the q&a... for the best really

colette is so clever sending that letter 🥰 i love her

AMAZING episode. so so SO FUN. the voice acting? Superb. i looove the way the bodyswap spell sounds. and more magic lore!!! fun seeing more types of mentalism magic in action!

eisen and telesphore having to deal with ariadne... oof... good on them for handling it reasonably. stabbing notwithstanding.

and colette's struggles... at this point she might just need to learn french lol. but she was able to get away with wayyy more in ariadne's body than ariadne could in hers... mostly thanks to not being around anyone that knows ariadne super well ofc, and ariadne's intimidating reputation. but also her impression was a lil better than what ariadne immediately came out the door swinging with LMAO. the voice colette put on was goofy but i kinda loved it

ohhhhh i will be thinking about this ep for the next two weeks!!!!!!!!!!

[autobot-ratchet]

MTMTE 1-3

MTMTE 1

“You've earned the right to see the universe without a gun in your hand” is still so good, love that Drift is the one who wrote that line. This is immediately turning into the Drift Retrospective lmfAO sorry but he's my favey and he's integral to this story getting started, I'll talk about everyone else in due time

like right now for instance, aaahhgfsghdfjdk seeing Ratchet talk about how he's joining the Lost Light to find a successor so he can retire has got me feeling things lmAO you find so much more, buddy, you find a whole entire husband and a family and aaaaaagfdshahgkadsjk

Cyclonus is making me feel things too, he's all talking about how Rodimus made promises to him out of moral obligation since he helped out during the last ordeal, he doesn't even know he's gonna kiss that guy in the last issue he's gonna end up your friend, your TRUE friend

God, Prowl referring to Rewind as Chromedome's “best friend” is still so fuckin funny. I know it was because James Roberts wasn't sure if he was gonna be allowed to make them canon husbands yet but it still works in retrospect because it makes Prowl seem like he either doesn't know they're married or does know and is being a dick about it, which are both hilarious options

Oh, sweet Tailgate. The reason I started reading this comic in the first place lmAO Straight up I just saw this cute-ass robot all over my dashboard and was like “I need to know your story” and just went for it, like just based off looks alone. Tailgate is literally so cute that he changed the course of my life for the next fuckin decade

What a fuckin way for Whirl and Cyclonus to meet. *turns to the camera and points with my thumb, smirking knowingly* They don't even know they're gonna be besties

None of these fuckin losers know how happy they're gonna make each other ha ha idiots get friendshipped and romanced

fuck I forgot these idiots have an in-universe wiki on themselves lmfAO

Swerve really did just slap his Autobot badge right on the crotch huh

*turns to the camera again, pointing with my thumb and smirking knowingly at Rung* He doesn't know he's God

Chromedome just casually being ableist at his husband for exposition reasons

extremely funny that Tailgate's first interaction with Whirl involves him nearly vaporizing him by complete accident

damn the Lost Light's journey really does start with the ship just fucking exploding huh

awww the message the crew leaves to their past selves god I can't wait to re-read this comic lmAO I'm already sitting here like “ooh that's foreshadowing for this arc, and THAT'S foreshadowing for THIS arc and THAT'S

MTMTE 2

SKIIIIIIIIDS HEY BUDDY omg *turns to the camera, points, smirks etc* he doesn't know most things

God. I'm still so mad about the foreshadowing that Rung is Primus being present from the very beginning. It was his hat, Mr. Krabs, hE WAS NUMBER ONE. AND ALSO HE AUTO HEALS

him saying that Ratchet's hands are as gentle as sunlight on snow is very adorable though, love that Ratchet immediately takes a fucking hammer to said hands right after he says this

giggles and kicks my gay little feet at Ratchet bitching about Drift, you loooove hiiiiiiiim, yOU LOOOOVE HIIIIIMMMM

they really just let Swerve shatter Tailgate's entire world for laughs huh lmAO

“I'm going to kill you,” he says, “don't think you'll see it coming,” he says, fucking LOL *points at the panel of Cyclonus crying on Whirl's shoulder in Lost Light* LMAOOOOOOOO

Tailgate saw the opportunity to write his own backstory and jumped on that shit immediately, honestly I respect it

three people died just from starting the ship lmfAO god just frame one with the tragedies

and then there's a fucking sparkeater lmfAO it truly just is just nonstop

MTMTE 3

Rodimus when the ship explodes: no one's dying on my watch, we're gonna do our best to save everyone and fix them and make sure they're safe Rodimus when he's told there's a sparkeater on the ship: cool

ohoho, it begins, Tailgate has made first contact with Cyclonus

I do like how even though Swerve very much did kind of force friendship upon Skids, Skids is still hanging out with him. He does think “Skids and Swerve” sounds cool, awwwuhgufghgusdj ❤️❤️❤️

Skids pulling Rung up into the ceilingjhdfskdlghd........ THINKS ABOUT CERTAIN PARTS OF LOST LIGHT........

poor Tailgate got told about the war from the one person on the ship who's a decepticon apologist. To be fair he probably should've gotten more than exactly one (1) perspective before choosing a side but still

[acescorazon]

Hiii! Just like the last person, i also started with the live action and then found your fanfics and ah! Im the one that commented on almost all your work djdj and told you i read it on my lunch break and the train! Thank god i speak spanish so people wouldn't read what was on my phone sbdbbd and yeah, thank god i was also wearing a mask on the train so no one would see me giggling like and idiot. But i wanted to tell you that omgg i love your stories how the hell your brain is so sexy but also funny i love how the smut its very silly also because we get to read buggy's thoughts. I didn't even like buggy on the live action till i saw the fanarts and i was suddenly like "you know what? He actually has pretty eyes..." and then here i am with a massive crush on a clown. I also started to ship buggy with mihawk because i have a thing for rare pairs and i was like you know what they would be hot but i was only imagining them like the live action BUT THEN YOUR FANFICS and now im on episode 7 of the anime cause i just want to understand better, like i love your crocodile but i dont even know how he is so yep, im on the anime nfnfnf and im here to tell you that you are amazing, seriously, i read your stories at night, at morning, when i finish my work bfnfj like i became obsessed with the ot3

Hi i remember you lolllll i replied to your comments this morning :) honestly it blows my mind that you'd read them in public, i could never have that bravery LMAOOOO. BUT STOPPPPP I'M LITERALLY AN IDIOT LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO. i think i said this at the end of my most recent fic but like i'm really out here just writing the most unrealistic ass smut sometimes. sometimes its just plain STUPIIIDDD lmao. but i do fancy me a good laugh but i never verge off into Crack territory lol. The actor does have really nice eyes, doesn't he???? i'm a clown f*cker tho so i was always going to simp for h- ANYWAYSSSSSS. @here i am with a massive crush on a clown. LMAOOOOO? First time???? LOOK L I S T E N. Honestly. i'm a Cross Guild girlie at heart so for me this is a buy one get two free deal but i swear to god Mihawk/Buggy IDKKKKKK. IDKKKK BABESSSSS. idk those two have the potential to have the messiest relationship yet and plus they're hot like you said LMAOOOOOO. LISTENNNNN LISTENNNN I'M THE BUGGY SIMPPPPP (jk there's probably someone who loves him more) AND WHEN I TELL YOU THERE'S JUST SOMETHING ABOUT THAT MANNNNN. JUST HES. *CHEF KISS* he's delicious, tasty, and PATHETIC. HES SO FUNNY AND DUMB AND I LOVE HIM SOOO MUCH. His debut episodes/ Episode 46 which is like 'Little Buggy's big adventure' is honestly the funniest shit to me and like they're my comfort episodes. Also like i said in the prev ask Alabasta is just my comfort arc for so many reasons lolololol Mainly bc my fave character appears and so does Croco and i love baroque works with a passion. (nobody asked.) it may not be everyone's slice of pie, but it's mine :))))

ANYWAYS LMAOOOOOOOO. Trust me bestie the way i write Crocodile isn't a headcanon LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. You'll see when you get there aljsldjasldjasldkajsdasd. If anything i typically go light on my depiction of him bc he's hngngnngngngngngn. Yeah, he's Crocodile alright LMAO. Not much of a spoiler but i'm here to tell you that Oda is starving us in terms of Cross Guild content, but have no fear jlkjsljdlkasjdaks i'll take one for the team. ANYWAYSSSSSSSS.Thank you again for the really nice message dear, i really appreciate it and i hope you end up actually liking the show a lot and don't have to watch 9845840850948509485098450840548094850948 episodes to think it's got any sort of appeal LMAO. THANK YOU AGAIN X30000 But know this: the moment Cross Guild debuted i knew...I KNEW i had to write for them. I knew i had to write Buggy in every scenario possible, and i'm working on it.

[trashlie]

I’m so curious what’s going on with Kousuke!!! What do you mean a hormonal imbalance?? The whole time my sister (a soon-to-be doctor) was trying to diagnose him because she said “turns out all the tics I found cute were actually illness”

Also unrelated but am I the only one still wondering who gave Shine Ae the orange sweatshirt in the flashback after her first concussion? Did we ever learn? In my head (I don’t know if this is an uncommon theory) I always believed Nol tried to hurt himself on that rainy day where he didn’t show up to see Dieter or Soushi before they became friends. What if he ended up in the hospital at the same time Shin Ae was (both would’ve been around 3-4 years ago? Give or take) and that sweatshirt has some roundabout relation to him? Maybe I’ve just watched too many kdramas and I’m trying too hard to find the red string of fate lol

Just a heads up to anyone following along! This is the last ask that I am responding as pre-236! So spoilers for this response only go up to 235 (though this one doesn't really have any spoilers)! However after this ask I'll be back up to date with spoilers up to 236! Just want to make that clear to anyone who may not be up to date with the last ep or not!

Had a bit of a laugh about your sister because lmao I've been trying to get my bestie back to reading ILY as she's a nurse and I've been DYING to hear her thoughts on Kousuke, too lmao but alas she hasn't been in the headspace for ILY yet so I continue to wait. But LMAO "all the things I thought were cute about him are AN ILLNESS?" alfjkakjfkjafjkafjk FEAR NOT to be fair I think a lot of what we see IS him, just... amplified by whatever Yui has been drugging him with and how it's affecting his system.

So the thought a lot of us had about the hormonal imbalance was that it was probably testosterone, since Hansuke didn't seem to want to divulge it in their mixed company, but also because he implied it was something that COULD be affected by stress, so it wasn't an IMMEDIATE red flag - but still something peculiar and wasn't something to be dismissed. Even outside of being drugged - which Hansuke certainly wasn't thinking of because WHO would be drugging Kousuke and god bless his sweet naive soul there was no way he was going to think of Yui doing it - there are other things that could affect his testosterone, thus it stood out to him but it wasn't "wow there is something SUPER wrong", especially given uhh.... EVERYTHING happening in Kousuke's life in the last couple months.

Ngl that ABSOLUTELY sounds like a kdrama plot LMAO like!!!!! They do NOT miss an opportunity to give their romance pairs a brush with each other before they ever "met for real" don't they? LMAO and like look don't get me wrong I love childhood friends to lovers but BOY do kdramas take it to a WHOLE OTHER LEVEL! lmaoooooooo But I have seen similar theories before! I know a lot of people have wondered if it could have been Nana who gifted it, like she just knits things and randomly gifted them to kids who were in the hospital.

That said, timeline wise that doesn't QUITE line up, though I don't think it was a reach to think it at all, because the fact that it's a mystery still makes us go HMMMMM doesn't it? Nol met Dieter the summer before high school, so if he did try harming himself at that time (and yes, I, too, think that he did), it would have happened after Shinae's hospital time, which was in middle school and she was out t finish school before the term ended, so Nol's event would have come after (assuming we have the timeline correct of course!).

But YEAH it still remains a mystery and I'm really, really curious. I had initially wondered if Alyssa might have done it, the one thing she could do for her guilty conscience because you KNOW her parents didn't want to get any more involved in it and probably paid off the school to keep it under wraps and keep her name out of it, but the sweater and hat seem like they were probably handmade, so I don't think my initial thought held any water. Of course that doesn't rule out Nana as a potential, because a Christian lady like herself might participate in church charity efforts and making gifts for children who have been in the hospital for a long time could have been something she might have done in the past! So while Nol himself may not be directly connected, that red string of fate you're looking for could still be there, in a somewhat subverted way, haha!

I really look forward to finding that out because I still find it so interesting that Shinae said "this shirt isn't even mine" when that lady threw her drink on her. What the heck did she mean?!

[suga-kookiemonster]

there is a true crime podcast called who shat on the floor at my wedding where a kiwi woman investigates who fired the dookie bullet, and it made me think about the ego dishwasher turd, so which characters of that series do you think would band together, and maybe create a similar podcast to catch a poopetor?

WHAT. lmaoooooooo a whole podcast ☠️☠️☠️☠️ i am appalled by this, but also entertained. and amazed that they could get more than a couple episodes off this 😂😂😂

in terms of ego, i feel like this would definitely be namjoon's podcast, and maybe yoongi would be his cohost (because he doesn't care about the dishwasher as much as namjoon, but he does care that namjoon cares, and we all know he's a softie 🥹 and who doesn't love a good goofy mystery lol). the members would all make appearances to give their testimonies and opinions, and so would oc! 😂😂😂

[auniverseforgotten]

5, 8 and 17 for the AO3 wrapped :3

ANOTHER ONE WAHOO THANK U TEA

Ask meme for anyone who wants it!

5. What work of yours got more feedback than you expected?

Honestly the one that got the most Visible feedback is please god don't let this be my legacy, like I know my niche atm is saliama but even with that, I was surprised so many people commented on this one! I know we all know Salieri in life is different than he is portrayed in media but in tapping into that I brought in some people! I love all my comments ofc but one in specific we started discussing in depth and that's always so fun <3

I was also surprised on like ANY response on my two fionndiar fics, Waging a Water War and A Kiss, A Miss, specifically because I go very far from canon in my interpretation of them so it surprises me people really want to read them! I know it doesn't look like MUCH engagement but I was expecting like. One person to look, or two at max SO I WAS PRETTY HAPPY WITH IT.

8. Pairing you wrote the most for this year?

Surprising ABSOLUTELY NO ONE the pairing I wrote for the most was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart | Caster/Antonio Salieri | Avenger, these two sad composers really grabbed onto my brain by it's lil folds didn't they?

A total of 12 of my works this year were for this pairing! And given that my runner up was Dantes/Salieri with 4 fics, they are very much my main pair at the moment!

They simply compel me, there's just so much there? Like you can mess around with stuff from history, but also just the first lostbelt, the fact that Salieri exists ONLY because of Mozart, because of rumors, how do you grow as a person outside of that? How are you ever your own person outside of that?

And Mozart, well. He's an absolute asshole, he's not even a funny one sometimes, but when you peel that and take a look at insecurity and exhaustion [LB1 HCs but still] and everything he uses humor and being an asshole to disguise.

And a lot of it that I see is Mozart desperate to have Salieri close, someone who really Sees him, who can call him on his bullshit best because he knew him most, and it's a reminder of who he was in life and who he is now. And Salieri...his entire character is built from how much he hates and loves Mozart. It's his entire thing. And there's so much nuance there. THEY COMPEL ME.

17. Your favorite character to write this year?

I'm not only counting posted fics this time sdfxcgv obviously I've written a lot of Salieri and I do really like writing from his PoV bcus I love writing angst and it's so perfect. But in my WIPs I have a LOT more Diarmuid PoV fics and idk when,,,if ever,,,,they will be finished and posted but he's just so fun to write he gives 0 fucks about anything except Fionn and taking care of kids, he'll tell Goredolf to fuck off and set a building on fire but if a 5 year old asks him to get their cat out of the tree he will [grudgingly] do it, I have a fic where he is Accidentally given 8 kids and he proceeds to spoil them rotten bcus they Deserve it, I love his friendship with Medb, I love HOW FUCKIN MUCH he yearns for Fionn.

AND THEN YOU SPECIFICALLY KNOW ABOUT THE TRANSFORMERS LMAOOOOOOOO I have been. Having a lot of fun with Starscream specifically in your alt mode AU it's been so good to tear into all the things he hides behind his bitchiness <3 which is not to say he isn't just a bitch, he is <3 it's just that he has layers <3 <3

THANK U SO MUCH FOR THE ASK YAHOO

X-Files, Season 2, Episode 3: Blood

Remember when postal workers were like the OG mass shooters? I'm that old.

"You're great and everyone likes you, but since you're new, we gotta fire you" his AK is about to get the sprayin'

"Everyone here got you a hundo" Bro, I'll start shooting.

Lmaoooo and now the postal machine is telling him to kill.

Red electronic letters are telling fools to kill. Sounds lit.

Unless you have super strength how does one person kill 4 people with their barehands? Just like that time when the dude who voices Chucky played a serial killer and he allegedly strangled his whole family to death. Like no it's one on 3, just use overwhelming force.

This old ATM is bringing me back to a simpler time. Getting old is weird.

I haven't read American Psycho, but only watched the movie. I wonder if the scene where the ATM tells Bateman to feed it a cat is in the book, which came out before this episode of X-Files.

Damn Mulder's laptop is a big boy lol. Fun for me to see how technology has advanced.

The mechanics computer telling the lady he'll rape her is fucking wild. And then she brains him with a socket wrench. Goddamn this episode is wild.

Ol' girl tried to stab Mulder and caught a bullet for her trouble, smh.

I love how interloped with images of Charlie Manson, OJ, the Branch Davidians, I think the '92 LA riots, there's a mosh pit.

The Lone Gunman make another appearance, and the long haired one is wearing a Social Distortion shirt, respect.

Say word the fired postman has a gun.

Hm, the lady that murdered the mechanic was a porn actress. Good for her that she got mainstream work. Sucks that it's so hard to get mainstream work after people seen you get boned on camera. I hope that becomes easier as we normalize sex work.

Mans went to a college and started shooting from a clock tower lmaoooooo woooooow this episode is wild

Oh shit, it's the meme!

I'm dying lmaoooooooo

Another really good episode in season 2. Hopefully this season doesn't start just spinning it's wheels like season 1. Next episode is Sleepless. But not in Seattle apparently.

[chasedeys]

akfkassafkj ADORE YOUR TAGS <3 and brought forth more brain worms love when that happens damn so:

the thing is im imagining like. ko being enamored by joemarrs entire schtick. their closeness and clear comfort with each other and teasing with justin and constantly screwing with him on his relationship with ko and then realizing that they’re screwing with him also. and then with each of their overprotective drivels god realizing how much they care for justin has him just. pressing a hand into his mouth to hide a smile because. it warms him so much to see them care for justin so much like that’s the kind of man ko is and joemarr slowly realize this in the end and well alrighty then justin good luck ig.

but anyways him being enamored by them: justin having shown him their texts joes ‘?? do i have to talk to the police. do i have to hire hitmen. say the word justin.’ the word(s) being like. rotten pickle juice or something absolutely random and stupid btw like a whole ass hidden spy words thing they came up with during lsu years showing they mean actual business and justin saying this to ko as like. i trust you thing its sweet idk and showing ja’marrs 1284738 thousand texts of him basically saying LMAOOOOOOOO YOU’RE FUCKINGGGGG YOUR COACHHHHH AIGHTTTTT GET SOMEEEEE and justin furiously texting back to shuttt the fuckkk upppp you brattttt and threatening him before justin posts every single embarrassing moments saved up in his phone of ja’marr’s college years blatantly caught STARING at joe's ass. he shows them to ko as proof too and like. god they’re the type of couple to be so fucking annoying showing every single damn thing to each other like my friends' bullshit is yours too its so 😭

but anyways ko gets caught at first because oh?? the hell is ja’marr getting fired up for joe he expects but—‘can you cook? are you able to sustain yourself? do you have expectations for your partner to provide you with daily meals?’ ‘um—no? i mean yes i cook, i can do all the cooking—well i bake, mostly? justin likes my cinnamon rolls?’ ‘good justin can’t cook for shit.’ ‘chase i will fucking choke you.’—but he catches his stride and he’s just honestly. enamored. starts just grinning at ja’marr who’s staring so intently at him with murder in his eyes asking him if thinks the earth is flat—no, really—and he’s earning points answering his questions earnestly, he knows, and justin is having so much fun whining and trying to swipe at ja’marr, he knows, because he’s never seen his cheeks so creased up before even when he’s scowling—fake scowling, that is, because he’s happy. he’s so happy to be with joe and ja’marr even if he's threatening bodily harm at them. it’s cute. it’s so fucking cute. ko’s happy to see him so happy so he endures all the ridiculous questions ja’marr asks and also gets endeared by ja’marr because he knows these questions are because he’s so damn protective of justin and how. how can he annoyed or not take it seriously when it’s in justin's best interests? even if like. he has to find it in him to seriously answer questions like ‘do you think the moon landing was faked or’ while justin quietly dies from laughter next to him while a rival qb serenely steals pasta from the rival wr who just unironically asked the damn question straight to his face. no he doesn't btw. ja’marr is nodding very seriously to his explanation while violently smacking joe for stealing his pasta dinner so at least he’s answering his questions correctly (he thinks who knows really) but at least justin is having the best time of his life. ko keeps glancing to the side and just. staring. at him smiling and laughing and catching his eyes and staring back at him. which earns him points from joemarr funnily enough lmao.

joe though yeah 😭 the one asking the actual hard hitting questions. face rigid cold when he’s been all amused and indulgent to ja’marr holding him back and stealing his food to get him to loosen up all of the sudden switching up when ja’marr finally settles down and going stone faced like he does when he’s on the field and ko senses danger and everything gets tense and ja’marr gets smug and justin gets even more exasperated and all of the sudden ko has to answer his entire family history. no he has no debts to his family name honest. no no gambling problems honest. yes he plans to spend christmas with justin and his family and introduce them to his. yes he believes in modern medicine. yes he's vaccinated. um. a-all the vaccines um. what does he think of children? well he means. he’s good with them but he’s always been open to conversation with his partner on the possibility of having them in their lives in the future and he knows justin isn’t that keen on them and he has his whole life and career ahead of him so he doesn’t mind much really on whatever justin decides um. justin has to intervene here and tell joe to fuck offfff why the hell is he asking about children in his place 😭

the chiefs question does trip him up though akdhsksj THAT has him stumbling and ja’marr zeroing like a shark smelling blood in the water and justin just egging everything on too knowing how much he fucking hates the chiefs and finding this shit so fucking funny he just has to mess with ko who doesn’t really have anything against the chiefs (i think idk) and now ko has to delicately balance pleasing ja’marr and like. not hating the chiefs bc he’s a coach for a whole ass team here cmon now 😭

joe tugging justin away for a moment alone to smile at him and press his fingers to the pulse point at his wrist and tell him good luck with ko he's found a good one and justin beaming at him because fuck having his (former, but always kept close to his heart it's impossible to let go) quarterback approve of ko is so fucking important while back in their table ko is SUFFERING ja'marr grinning evily at him just yapping ripping him to shreds bayou dark magic straight insanity and violence this might be on purpose joe knows damn well what he's doing leaving them behind who knows but. ko gets it he supposes 😭. justin and joe comes back to silence to ja'marr peacefully demolishing his and joe's shared tiramisu while ko is just. mute. holding on his wine glass. justin pats his thigh in comfort. ko grips his hand like a life line. but ja'marr catches justin's eyes and he's grinning at him brightly, like he always does, like everything is going to be alright, and winking at him and justin's slumping down sighing in relief like. fuck. his brother. approves. okay. okay, then.

ko playfully whining at justin in the end about joe being somewhat bipolar lmao and ja’marr being ridiculously intimidating while justin is still riding the high of having spent the night with them and having them meet his apparent love of his life and unable to keep it in just breathing through the love in his body and going yeah. yeah they’re real sweet aren’t they. and ko sensing this letting go of the playful whining and tugging him into a hug and going yeah they’re sweet i can see why you love them and justin tucks his face into kos neck because he really does love those two so much and misses them like crazyyy different team and he won’t change how things went for the world he’s got ko now but damn. how unfair is it they get to keep their thing and he’s left alone in cold cold minnesota fending for himself for however many years before he’s latched onto ko?

i want you to yap about jj/koc!!!!! tell me what your fav headcanons are about them <3

THE WAYYYYYYY I HAVE YET TO ANSWER YOUR ASK ON THAT JOE HAREM AKDHSKSJSKSKSK sort of its not even really harem bc like. is it. legit. its in my drafts. waiting for me to yap. its so good. i have shit to say abt it. i literally want to branch abt ja’marr and tee for the wr room too. and treymarr LMAOOOO and chase for the rb room even if like. the rb room is kind of sad and i wanted to focus more on his poly insanity of the 23 rookies dragging big dick mike into it BUT let me answer this one first 😭 yeah…...

ANYWAYS. headcanons. um. i don't have much. FFJFJFJ let me direct you to my prev ask um....

god i don't even know much about their lore to actually like. expand my shit about them LMAO like. if i base shit from this one post i'd say like. ko being a whole completely new thing for justin. justin's previous coaches being?? not so well???? or like. not as invested or as into him or as developing as ko is even if he clearly has broken vikings records since he got into the vikings like christttt this man is talented and ko clearly knows how to use him.

as i said in that previous askkk ko being the one to be able to like. break apart justins numerous layers of 1) pr perfect (CARMENS ASK ON THIS IS INSANE BTW. WILL GET TO THAT AT SOME POINT ARGH) then 2) lashing out tiger claws etc etc then finally 3) the justin jefferson that gets to break down and stumble and fall and titter uncertainly and very much never to be seen on camera but!! ko gets for some fucking reason and that shit terrifies the ever living shit out of justin who the fuckkk does this guy think he is waltzing into his team with his warm smile and steady hands and certain gait and kind words and clever playbook and encouragement and acceptance. skittering away uncertainly at first when ko shows him this but come on now this is justin jefferson when has he ever run away from anything ever next thing you know he's marching right back to ko and re-introducing himself and boom. charmed and being charming and i don't think he's ever going to let go of ko ever and i don't think ko's ever letting go of him ever lmao.

as ive said ko is like. incredibly soft, such a players coach, that time where he told sam to step away for a sec just to say he was proud of him?? and that clip of him to the side staring at his team hauling sam up oh my godddd. and also again based on this one post ive seen ages ago and ingrained to my fucking head about them its like. it's so fucking FUNNYYYYYY to me. how koc has legitimately mentioned justin has a great smile 😭 i have no idea if he's mentioned it some other times before probably tbfh but. that's so sweet 😭 justin DOES have a pretty smile……the prettiest thing about him dare i say……thank you coach kevin o'connell for mentioning this in actual to everyone in an official article for real lmao SORRY got distracted but. he's so sweet. so kind with his words. and so soft. and just soooo??? so easy to fall for so it took justin like. days. fucking DAYS. for him to just. starts wobbling. eyes to starts skittering away when ko tries catching his gaze. a whole week of just adjusting to new feelings before he starts to snap his spine back into himself because he's justin fucking jefferson and boom he's flirting right back (not that like. ko flirts intentionally at times 😭 they're both just. such natural unintentional flirts at times its a travesty to their team theyve learned to just. live with it. their social media team delights and despair it.).

and i think about ko is that he's like. incredibly charmed by justin. so fucking amazed by his talent. who the fuckkkk works like him. who breaks records like justin jefferson. unable to stop himself from just. gaping. eyes wide everytime he sees justin catch a ball. eyes following his figure running across the field. ears ringing knowing he has to navigate and call a play call a name call something but fuck he's just focused on how justin's smiling how he's swinging around his hips laughing with jordan and practically gleaming underneath the stadium lights. pretty. fucking gone for him. also. great smile. stilllll so stuck on him mentioning justin's smile alkfkasf soooo funny god crying at this.

also: comparing yet again ja'marr and justin. competency kink 😔 justin being soooo horny for ko's offensive schemes and all his coaching abilities and hey he has thrown with justin right so like. well.

the flirting. ive talked a bit here mostly as comparison to joemarr's preschool ass shy unable-to-meet-eyes flirting. they are soooo. fucking. Shameless. how the fuck. no really but they are upfront about it they look at each other straight in the eyes and giggle at each other and tilt their chins provocatively and just say shit. whatever the fucking words are positively DOUSED with flirty energy. they can be talking about the fucking weather, routes and plays, or even taking the most humongous most disgusting most gut-wrenching shit of their lives ever and it would still sound like they're flirting about ferris wheel dates and candle-lit dinner and fucking on a bed of roses. sorry but 😭. if you listen to any bit of mic'ed up moments between them, or interviewed moments between them, it's genuinely crazy it's like. they can't help themselves. they're natural flirts?? around other people but when they meet each other they up the fucking ante to about 10000000000 billion watt so. either you get used to it or you just. skedaddle out of sheer uncomfortableness. dare i say that their team has gotten so fucking used to it 😭 dare i say that that shit is contagious and now a whole lot of them especially the influenceable rookies are following their footsteps. vikings.....oh boy.......every time i see practice vids its crazy btw there's always a moment of ko just having to pop by and just like nudge at justin and justin just like blooms under his gaze its so cute they're so cute 😭

there's also this LMAOOOOO no but really. how many times do you think has kevin o'connell stumbled in his words and like. physically. because justin jamal jefferson just could not fucking help himselffffff oh my god. what is the fucking matter with him 😭😭 who STARES like that at their coaches.....justin motherfucking jefferson that's who. ko yapping gesturing with his cup like justin isn’t giving him ecchi fuck me eyes you’re definitely stronger than me 😔✊ but really does justin do this shit on purpose or. or...

also ehe i know you asked for hcs but like. would u like more of um. i did a little bit of fic idea of them fake dating once here and am still so enamored by it so:

koc/jj - constantly getting the vibes of ‘he fuckeddd that old mannn’ when i see gifs of those two with jj just being 🥰😘💞🎀💓🌸💖💝🩰🌷 aughguhgh outrageous levels of besotted he’s WORKING he’s GETTING HIS MAN he’s FLIRTING hes using EVERY weapon in his disposal (competency, beauty, babygirlism, etc) you have to respect that shit. stupid fic idea that won’t leave my head is of them getting into a scandal caught by paparazzi romantic ass dinner holding hands and ending the night clubbing close but they really aren’t anything at that time but ahaha you get where I’m going with this right FAKE DATING!!! except this isn’t really feasible bc lets be real a coach dating his player = fired. period. or the player traded to a different team which. WHICH. but theyre both like invaluable to the vikings so they just go ok fake dating have at it (that makes zero sense but whatever). anyway super fun idea can’t lie justin upping his cutesy lovey schtick and koc quietly dying from it. joe legit reaches out like 'ur not being coerced or anything right' while jamarrs like 'get that silver dickkkk' (hes like 39 but whatever) etc etc.

the joemarr double date 😭 can you imagineeeee joe and ja'marr squinting suspiciously at ko smiling serenely at them and justin squinting suspiciously back at the two im crying as i picture this

ko begins just. charming the ever living shit out of them. and ja'marr is somehow the one who can't fucking unbend because. he was all for it at first?? like oh!! justinnn??? coachfucker justin jefferson lmaaoooooo???? no really he was brutal about it justin has to briefly block his number because oh my god 'marr shut the fuck uppppp but then. he actually sees justin with ko and boom. every single protective bone in his body is bricking the fuck uppppp and now justin has to call off attack guard dog ja'marr chase from ripping ko to shreds 😭 joe, who has like. the slightest idea that this might happen is just. going along for the ride at this point, hooking his ankle around ja'marr's under the table to help calm him the fuck down and keep him from lunging across the table and making sure to keep stealing the prawns off ja'marr's plate so ja'marr gets distracted and pissy at him instead of like. interrogating ko on his ancestry and credit scores and history of animal abuse who knows at this point where ja'marr's mind has gone to. justin straight up tries to stand up to strangle ja'marr one time and ko just casually brings up an arm to tug him into his side and justin settles huffily into him and. joemarr gets sharp. their eyes sharpen. zero in on the minuscule space between the two. ja'marr gets quiet. drinks his wine and tucks closer to joe too like. damn okay then fuck. joe chuckles quietly and pinches at his thigh and tells him to let up for fucks sakeeee and the dinner goes smoother finally and ja'marr finallyyyyy laughs at kos jokes 😭👍 needles at him about who's the better receiver just to be annoying and test him out a little if he answers ja'marr he isn't appreciating justin the fuck if he answers justin he doesn't know shit and if he answers neither he’s way too fucking evasive and that’s not good at all the fuck but joe gracefully saves the day by just moving the entire conversation around (throwing peas subtly at justin so he'd shut the fuck up too god why are nearly all his wide receivers like this)

(after the dinner waving goodbye to joemarr driving away in an uber ko bends down to press his forehead to the back of justin's neck and just. heaves out a sigh so heavy like. oh my god. why the fuck is ja'marr chase so intimidating. and justin's laughing at him making his body shake with him saying yeah isn't he the sweetest with the worlds just. fondest fucking voice and kos hugging him from behind feeling so pleased he gets to be accepted by the two boys justin has anchored himself so thoroughly during college and refused to let go to this day auguhughga LSU TRIO MY BELOVEDDDDD 😭)

ko and joe bondingggg aaaaaaa about like. qb stuff 😭 am so shit at football stuff i cannot even expand on this shit LMAOO but like. strategies. plays. cadences. the chiefs dynasty and nfl rules maybe lmao. the state of the nfl commissioners and schedule making and shit rules and penalties and how they can make them better maybe who knows certainly not me 😇 and jjmarr egging them on to say the more foulest shit they usually keep under pr perfect wrap and justin gleefully letting go of his perfect pr image to just shit talkkkk with ja'marr god that's cute the idea he can be freeee with ja'marrrr aaaa

fighting over the check lmao ko pays btw which is. who gets paid more players or coaches. players? i feel like its players. but ko gets sneaky and somehow pays the entire thing. joe, who usually is the sneakiest and pays for shit like this is very impressed. justin behind is like. glittering in smugness. ja'marr is also quietly impressed ofc.

okay so this is more of like. the joemarr double date over the fake dating aspect 😭 i literally have 0 ideas for the fake dating damn youuuu brainnnn workkkkkkkk argrhrgrhrhhrhh

okay. bye....im out 😭

[silviakundera]

The luo yunxi critical emotional dmg squad lmao😭 pls have you watched till the end of the moon. Man that was another level of dmg it hurt so much ahhh

Also side note ep 26 trailer for princess Royal SRQ saying anyone who let's the princess down or abandon or something should die then damn why is he alive (he is the epitome of letting her down lol) like okay by that logic bye bye)

Side note part two IF IT WAS LUO YUNXI PLAYING THAT CHARACTER 100 PERCENT HE RIGHT NO PROBLEM LMAO😭 instantly forgiven

fool me once but can't fool me twice!! I dropped till the end of the moon before the climax, when I figured out that the ending would infuriate me. INJUSTICE 😭

lmaoooooooo that SRQ line is straight from the book and YES it made me 🙄🙄🙄 like girl you're doing too much. But it's also the first time I considered hmmm this author writes the characters way too coherently & consistently. what if this isn't meaningless..... does LR know the full story of how & why she died? No, she's just pieced together clues. And I started to get a lil worried.

Which was the desired effect, I believe lol. In the novel we don't really get his PoV so I was still not confident how SRQ felt about LR in reality and his true objectives. Just like LR, trying to analyze his behavior and draw conclusions. So that line really made me stop and think: what if he does love her? but does that simply mean he doesn't care if he lives to see the end of his mission? or... what don't I know?

MTMTE 20-22

MTMTE 20

aww Ratch, no, don't let Pharma get you down... I mean I don't blame him, Pharma set this up to be as psychologically damaging to Ratchet as possible, but it sucks to see it working

Cyclonus being able to use a great sword is still so good

right, I forgot that Magnus lured Rodimus to Luna-1 to get Tyrest to straighten him out. He didn't quite mean for all this to happen, but yeah he is why we're here

lol Pharma's only here bc Tyrest needed a test subject for the killswitch lmaoooooooo

man. Shame Getaway turned out to be such a dick because he's almost kinda cool and charming in his intro scene lmAO I mean I know that's the point, he didn't really plan his mutiny from the start, it was Megatron being put on the ship that really made him do it (and maybe a little bit of personal resentment for Rodimus) but like. You could've been cool, man lmAO especially if someone as cool as Skids could be his partner like the possibility could've been there

oof, First Aid getting spicy with Ratchet... I mean he's got a point, and Ratchet agrees with him but man. So fraught........

“He doesn't anything. He's dead. That's the point.” god I agree so much with First Aid on this one. Like, I guess I understand why people would think that killing someone who does a lot of harm makes you just as bad, the weight of a life on your conscience weighs heavy no matter what, but like. If you kill Pharma, he will no longer be able to hurt anyone and y'all are not going to carry on his murderous legacy or whatever, it's fine lmAO

god. Fuck Star Saber lmAO

I love how much brainfuckery goes on in these comics, it's so fascinating

It's also fascinating to see these little glimpses of Cybertronians everywhere else being affected by the killswitch, seeing some other examples of cold constructed bots

MTMTE 21

hell yeah Tailgate, get his ass

HELL YEAH MINIMUS, GET HIS ASS

HELL FUCKIN YEAH CYCLONUS, GET HIS BITCH ASS!!!!!!!!

I know Cyclonus gets to bisect this bitch later in the story but. He should've been allowed to kill Star Saber right then and there lmAO you know Star Saber took him being warped away to be divine intervention or some shit

yeah I'm definitely right about Pharma doubling down on the villain act out of guilt, him not being able to go through the portal practically confirms it. And Skids can... at least he gets to feel that here, it still fucks me up immensely that once he fully remembers his repressed trauma, it makes him feel so much guilt that it kills him... BUT that day is not today, he can still have this right now

Oh, First Aid... like I said, it still weighs heavy no matter what........

I remember seeing a post about this a long time ago, but man Rodimus and Magnus truly do see each other at their worst in this arc. I love it lmAO

fuck I wish I could remember exactly what it is that Skids is speaking to here lmfAO I remember it being revealed at the end of Lost Light, but I do not remember what it actually is, I gotta remember this bit so I can better understand once I get there

love this little fake-out of Cyclonus fantasizing about pushing Whirl into the smelting pool, it's so funny lmAO just “ha ha jk”

love that Tailgate used the knowledge he gained from Magnus's grueling lessons to save the crew lmAO

I've said it before and I'll say it again because it still hits exactly as hard, this fucking page where Cyclonus stabs Tailgate with his great sword, giving him a piece of his own spark, is one of the most romantic things I've ever seen lmfAO god..... the way Cyclonus lowers his head against the sword's hilt, the way Tailgate feebly reaches up for him, the intertwining of violence and vulnerability, both physical and emotional, fuuuUUUUUCK

aaahhhhh, Cyclonus is all fixed up, including the replacement horn Tailgate made for him, and Magnus respects him and welcomes him onto the crew for real.... nndhgasfkdfgns

oh that's right, it's time for another bit of prose

Rodimus finally starting to get his act together... you love to see it but damn did we have to go through some shit to get here

gfhjdsk Minimus being like “you look like you're about to fall apart” and Roddy being like “I'm fine. *piece of his arm falls off* ...Well I'm not bugging Ratchet about it now”

everybody working together to find a cure for Tailgate... even when they find cures for a bunch of other infamous diseases, they're just like “aw that's nice” and set it aside because the one for Tailgate is more important, auwwghdfhHGSDFHWUH

oh yeah, this is where we figure out that Fort Max is leaving the Lost Light to stay on Luna-1 lmAO I remember not reading these little bits of prose the first time around because I didn't realize they weren't just more fan messages so I was just like “man we haven't seen Fort Max in a while”

I do like that it was never Rodimus's plan to make Drift take the fall, Drift insisted, mostly because he always knew this was going to be his role in the Overlord project. Honestly the whole Overlord situation is so fucked, it's hard to blame any one person involved, save for Prowl lmfAO like truly everyone made the wrong decision simply by getting involved in the first place, but Prowl absolutely pressed specific buttons in Rodimus to get him to agree, everything went according to his plan up until Chromedome accidentally let him know that Megatron was alive.

“I won't let you do this for me.” “I'm not doing it for you. I'm doing it for everyone else.” like I fuckin SAID, it's all about the quest, it's all about the vision he got. Sure, Drift likes Rodimus, this isn't a case of him just putting up with him for the sake of the quest, but it is a case of him putting up with the consequences of Rodimus's actions for the sake of the quest. Also, I'm realizing I might have the nature of Drift's vision wrong, I thought the end goal of the quest was to restore Cybertron, but Drift's saying they need to find the knights in order to combat some kind of impending threat. I mean I know that it's the end boss of the story, but I didn't realize that Drift knew about said end boss, I thought he had a vision of Cybertron being restored lmAO I was just straight up incorrect. I was under the impression that the vision that got the quest started in the first place was one of the Knights and Cyberutopia making general life better for everyone and the vision he gets after the Dying of the Light was the one about the end boss but no, he appears to already know about the end boss. And this is why we do a little rereading lmfAO I do not remember specific details like this

love that Swerve got to use his metallurgist skills to help save Tailgate, we stan a multitalented king

also Love Ratchet having to help Minimus put the Magnus armor back on lmfAO love that he ended up putting his foot in his mouth when Minimus asked about the other Magnuses, makes me feel better for making him fuck up talking to Drift in the fic I wrote

aww I forgot this is where Red Alert wakes back up too, damn I just missed out on a bunch of important plot shit during my first readthrough lmfAO oops

ah right, we have to go back to Cybertron and get involved with Barber's writing again lmAO but not quite yet, we get one more issue before that

MTMTE 22

I remember reading somewhere that the scene that Magnus removed from Rewind's film was of him dancing around in his office, which is just. God Rewind would thrive on TikTok lmfAO

I do not know what this second thing Magnus censored is lmfAO

I like that once Cybertronians and Stentarians meet they immediately start trying to one-up each other, starting with “my war lasted longer”

everyone responding to the question “Are you happy” is so good, what an excellent question to be able to ask your characters as a writer

eyyyy Thunderclash time, god this dude is so funny, I love how much of a mary sue he is, completely unironically I enjoy it so much lmAO

Rodimus is so fucking jealous it is hysterical lmAO and Thunderclash is so perfect that he just takes all of Roddy's passive aggressive jabs at face value and answers with a sincerity that just makes everyone admire him more I fucking love their dynamic it is pure gold

Swerve doesn't even know he just used god as a baseball bat. Deadass I can't stop thinking about that, every single bit of this comic with Rung in it has just got me like “that's straight up god”

aww man I forgot that Skids tried to show Rewind's film to the Circle of Light and they all hated it, that's such a bummer
