#special appearance from abadon

[junglemax]

sorry we’re getting weird with it again. trying to kickstart the brain, you know how it is

jungle boy doesn’t like sharing food.

[mini drabble] [cannibalism]

Abadon smells him first. The stench of death is strong, but a fresh soul breaking out of its shell is stronger. They follow the scent, black drool dripping down their lips until they find the source.

Ah, the boy who claimed to be dead all along. Abadon knew it was just a facade; they could hear his heartbeat a mile away.

Darby’s not dead. Not yet, anyways, but close to it. His eyes are rolled back into his head and there’s that beautiful sound of a death rattle in his chest that rises all the way out of his throat.

Abadon licks their lips. Finally, a good meal-

Snarling from past Darby stops them in their tracks.

Jungle Boy crawls out, baring his teeth and practically shaking. He stops when he’s completely over Darby, pressing his palm to Darby’s neck, his legs thrown over his body in a way to latch on easily.

Abadon growls back. They’re hungry. One boy from the jungle isn’t going to stop them. What does he even want with Darby, anyways?

Jungle Boy’s drooling too. At first, Abadon thinks it’s from anger. They try to close in with a warning growl.

Jungle Boy yells back. He lowers himself more over Darby, never breaking eye contact.

His stomach growls loudly.

Abadon glances down at Darby, then back at Jungle Boy.

He’s gripping Darby tighter. His jaw is clenched, and they can tell the drool is pooling in his mouth like a dog watching a bone.

He’s hungry too.

Abadon backs up. Straightens up, then nods at the meal. Go ahead. Eat. Prove your hunger to me.

Jungle Boy doesn’t hesitate ripping the skin off of Darby’s face with his teeth, chewing like he’s never eaten before.

Darby just groans, life still clinging onto him like God’s cruelest joke.

Abadon nods almost proudly. They know hunger. They’ll get another shot with another poor soul later on; clearly, this one is Jungle Boy’s to claim.

DeLirianne

"This (over)glorified piece of irish idea, american parts and pop-culture fame got it's eyes on you. It might not be able to hover (yet) and it has a lot to desire, but the fun thay you get from driving it is still fairly nice. Not to mention all custom parts made and saved from the 80's and 90's! By the way, do we mentioned that this thing is basically a orphan now?" - vehicle catalogue description

DLC DeLirianne sometimes reffered to as DeLirianne is a car aviable to buy in Retro Rusty Pack, which contains several more retro-inspired cars, one of which is DeLirianne. While not listed, it's manufacturer is called DLC (DeLirianne Car Company).

Design

DeLirianne's name and design is based on (in)famous DeLorean by DMC (DeLorean Motor Company). While overall looks is more akin to 1981 version, there are some parts which come from diffrent models. It's tuning options are relatively small.

It is actually stated, that this was the only car that DLC made before they went bankrupt and shut down. This makes all DeLirianne to be sought after and often used as exhibition models for automotive museums and private collections. This also explains the high prize both for buying the car and upgrading it, since it's spare parts and the car itself are really rare.

There is a custom version, that has hovercar parts. Both versions have three variants each.

There is a customized version made from abadoned one by Jeremiah and called "Doctor DeLirious" which is a DeLirianne customized to look like ambulance. It was made for a car show and later he gets a renovated and restored version as his third (after Tamer and Berserk) car he owns. It actually appears later several times in the comics.

2. Variants

Besides Doctor DeLirious, there are versions called "NFPD DeLirianne" and "Mega Runner DeLirianne". Both are seen in normal and hover version. The only DeLirianne that can be found is a random one that can spawn in some parts of more richer zones. NFPD (Neo Fanoshiko Police Department) version is a DeLirianne turned into a cop car with a white-black livery and blue-red police lights. Mega Runner version is a version made for drag racing, and it has custom features like lowered suspension, tinted glass, extra engine in the back and several parts are missing.

3. Behind the scenes

Name is a play on DeLorean and 'delirium'. Name also can be seen as feminized version of the DeLorean since Lorean sound masculine, while Lirianne seems feminine.

Hover version could be seen as a reference to Back To The Future, but it has more similiarites to hovercars from Fifth Element, Blade Runner or Quarantine. There is actually "Out of the Life" livery that makes reference to the movie.

"Autocalypse Now!" made mostly for Mega Runner version makes the car look like DeGoryun from Carmageddon series. It even has special spikes as it's custom bumper option. Name also references Carmageddon II: Carpocalypse Now.

"Shekh's Special" livery is based off golden version of DeLorean but with various arabic-themed decorations and finishes. The livery itself also looks like damascus steel with oriental carvings.

"Protoplastic" livery is meant to look like original clay replica made for overall model presentation. This also gives car more matte and rough look, with some parts having textures looking like paper or wood.

NFPD livery seems to be mix of american and japanese police car liveries, with paint scheme akin to american police and giving details of japanese police. Both are hybrid of police liveries for San Francisco and Yokohama, main influences for Neo Fanoshiko.

Name of DeLirianne's manufacture DeLirianne Car Company is both play on DeLorean Motor Company and term 'downloadable content' or DLC. It is also stated that company stopped to exist, like DMC in real life.

In real life, DeLorean was made around 1980's, while some of the DeLirianne parts were made in the 90's and there is even few made around 2000's. This could be explained by specialized car customization and tuning made for more unique vehicles like cars, bikes and even boats.

DeLirianne is featured with some custom parts with "D4J0DG3" plate on one of Jeremiah's sketches. The writing can be read as "The Judge", a reference to Jeremiah's alias, "Judgement". This plate would later be used by Jeremiah's Shermy Tamer.

Really messy post about story predictions (?) <aka I’m probably seing crap i want to see but i have arguments this time!>

Hi guys!

After ls4 release I wasn’t particuraly happy about what is happening. Never was a big fan of gw1 so I tried hard not to roll my eyes till they fall out of my eyesockets while helping sunspears (you can hate me, i just don’t give a damn about them) BUT. BUTBUTBUT Istan made me literally scream and drop my laptop. Why you ask? Let’s do this, get urself a coffee or tea, or whatever IT’S GOING TO BE LONG AND MESSY WITH MANY MISTAKES MADE CUZ OF GENERAL EXCITEMENT.

This is a post filled with my speculations about ls4, based on what we got in Istan (mainly fueled with my deep hopes) so please bear in mind this probably won’t happen. BUT if it does, QUOTE ME ON THIS SHIT CUZ I’LL PROBABLY BE FAINTING AND CHOKING ON MY TEARS OF HAPPINESS. Also I’m not really good in predictions/speculation theories (this is my very first, mainly cuz i have small lore knowledge BUT NOW THEY GAVE MY THE PIECE IM PASSIONATE ABOUT) so please don’t eat me alive, YET I HOPE FOR SOME FEEDBACK. I’m super excited about what do you think about it. So let’s not waste more words, ls4 spoilers ahead, and we are going for this shit.

Our topic will be aetherblades. Maybe this sounds weird but i’ll try to justify that they HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE STORY and I feel like anet is droppin some hints for us. I’m a crazy aetherblade fan, some of you maybe know this from my posts, so after Daybreak i felt like anything is possible really.

Let’s start with what we know about sky pirates:

...

Tadam! Blank space, we don’t know SHIT. Their topic dissapeared after Scarlet’s War, bad thugs are gone. Anet left there a big plot hole. Okay, some may think that its just because anet was bad at making ls back then (i disagree, plot was genious) so they abadoned it. In my opinion yet anet is not a studio that leaves their stuff without explanation. I don’t take fractals salvaged out of old dungs as an explenation ofc. We also know nothing about their leader my waifu Mai Trin. All info we got is that “blah blah Lionguards got her, but her crew rescued her blah blah shes roaming somwhere in the mists with them” Boom! This implies that they are still alive and kicking, just hiding in the mists so technically they are still with us. Conclusion? Anet has good ol’pirates in their reach to put them in the story.

And we all know what happened in LS4. This big fat biatch happened:

Theeere we go.

This is the main point of my long ass theory so we will have some fun at this ship. Let’s start with a little bit of scepticism. 

As we all know, at the end of Daybreak we encounter (???ehh, kinda??) inquest in Elona. Friendly murderous rats indeed. Anyone with some knowledge about Ls1 and how alliances worked would probably jump out now and say, yeah, kiddo. But it’s inquests’ airship, Aetherblades were using Inquest crap, airships and golems mostly, so your theory is turned down. That was my first though too, actually. But let’s think about why this could be seen as non-inquest property.

First of all, location. Guys, this big ass airship is in p i r a t e s d o c k s. Why the heck would inquest leave their ship there??? Why not somewhere... different. They would leave their precious property among corsairs???? I bet my ass they would not have anything to come back for. Plus, and this is really important in my speculations, lets take a closer look.

This airship has a visible sign?? logo?? emblem?? whatever its called, cog skull with cogish sword. I think if it was inquests’ property, itey would have something like this???

since its their emblem. even ignoring the red lights, they r ofc really inquestish, but the emblem?? noo, it’s not even close.

This is obvioudsly the ls1 model for aetherblade aisrhip. Proof??

here

(Not so secret jp)

it

(mai trin frac feat my son)

is

(its from the wiki but i think its from aetherpath)

my dudes

(pic from queens jubilee events)

Take a closer look at this magnificient COINCIDENCE

(middle one is from new ls) I can’t believe anet would be SO LAZY to just copypaste something so characteristic for aetherblades. I think they would at least change the emblem a little bit?? For Inquest one for example, or new pirate one, since there are other elonian corsairs on board. Or hell, even erease the emblem clearly connected to Sky Pirates of Tyria. But guess what, they didn’t. ;^)

Okay, so we have the real aetherblade ship, at least the model in Istan. But as I mentioned, it is in pirate den. Pirate. Den. Corsairs, pirates. Doesn,t this suggest anything? The only thing that doesn’t fit there is the crew. They are clearly elonian corsairs. But I’ll come back to it in my speculations about what part they could take in story framgent.

What’s special about this ship? Every devoted player will go there, I’m hella sure. Why? There is a mastery point. Why would there be one??? This is clearly a tyrian airship, why not put it on elonian ship, somewhere high or under the boards. Why not put it literally anywhere else in pirate den. Isn’t it screamein CHECK ME OUT IM HERE??? CHECK OUT THIS AETHERBLADE SHIP MODEL TO GRAB ME. IM ON THIS SHIP SO THIS PLACE IS IMPORTANT. This is a risky speculation but for me it looks like some kind of attention catcher toward this particular unfitting airship. 

Big red tyrian aiship with aetherblade symbol on it in pirate den with mastery point on it. Woah. S U S P I C I O U S.

My last argument is the riskiest one since it can be ruined soon but rn it is on my side definitley. Aetherblade armor. It got taken down like ages ago (i know it cuz i keep an eye on it) and it doesnt seem like coming back. Its weird cause many other old skin sets came back recently, Magitech for example. It would fit the theme to bring steampunk fashion back all together. But there is no sign. I think that they are keeping it out of gemstore to bring it back with the pirates in new ls4 releases. Ofc this point will lose it value if armor comes back in store soon but... Now its not here. And I CAN DREAM RIGHT. Also, if it comes to gemstore, we had memorial boxes some time ago reminding us about scarlets war so maybe its another hint???

So those are my sweet sweet arguments. But what role would aetherblades play in story if they appeared?????

1. Hired army to face Palawa Joko - Please, dont even try to tell me that pirates are not greedy. I - again - bet my ass that they would Go For Gold if there was a good oportunity. Offered some good coin they would risk everything. Pirates who are afraid of nothing vs. Undead Lich? I’m puttin all my money on aetherblades yo. And also if they succeded, they wouldn’t be forced to go back into hiding to the mists, they actions in LA would be forgiven (too beautiful, i know)

2. Traders with local corsairs - that would work well with our sweet ship in istan with elonian crew. Maybe aetherblades are trading with locals, sellin ships and weapons?? And they are pirates after all, they would definitley find it easy to communicate and ally with elonian thugs. I can see Sayida drinking whisky with Mai till they both drop and sign a trading agreement.

Those two are my strongest bets, but we can ofc speculate they could be just a small easter egg or even enemies (but i dont think there is a need for new ones rn really).

So here we are, short after Daybreak, still unsure and a little bit lost about whats gonna happen next. But adding Sky Pirates would be a good idea in my opinion, cause many gw2 players only are gettin fed up with gw1 blinking aggresivly towards those who know first game lore. Why not make it crazy and bring something fresher for those ppl to releate to too? and close a plot hole? THEY LITERALLY BROUGH THIS STUPID ASS LIVIA BACK JUST FOR ONE EP TO FILL HER PLOT HOLE COME THE FUCK ON WHY NOT EXPLAIN THE PIRATES 

I know the chances are pretty low, maybe it was really just an old model, but... I trust that anet does pay attention to small things and would not BETRAY ME LIKE THAT.

This its it, that’s my theory, those are my arguments. If u r still with me, thank you very much for reading through all of this messy screaming, and I hope to hear your opinion! If i missed something, please, educate me in comments, I will be really happy to hear it! (And if i made a mistake plz do the same cuz as i mentioned this is my first post of this kind.)

Have fun and enjoy the story, whatever is going to happen!!

Big thanks to my sweet @that-mesmer for help with this and keepin me still filled with hope, and PROVIDING QUALITY SCREEN CUZ MY PC IS A TRASH.

Rant about scream characters

Its a fact that when i watch new series i get obessed. And scream is my new osession so i must watch it over and over again.

Because of this i get new perspectiveof every character at the first clance Emma and Audrey would be “perfect” pairing but they have way too mucha bad blood in their past that they havent figuret out even in halloween special. The worst rift between them was born in season two because of Audreys hate letters to piper and that request to help with documentary of brandon james.

Nether one of them is acting rationally because of Audrey feeling of guilt over what piper has done and because of the letters. Audrey feels responsible of pipers arrival to Lakewood. While all fans can say that its not her fault it doesnt mean that she doesnt have negative feelings toward her “sins” Audrey feels that every death is on her shoulders because she trusted a wrong person.and i dont blame her for trusting her because she was with piper when Rachel was murdered. And of course fear has something to do with audreys actions. Killer was sending disturbing videos and threats to her.

Emma was action little too melodramatic on season two because i got this feeling that she was mmaking everything about her. The killer wasnt after her on season two but mostly Audrey because she had more to loose in way. Audrey doesnt have great relationship with her parents so i think her friends are what matters to her the most. And when we got into their history and found out that Emma broke the biggest friendship code and abadoned Audrey for popularity makes y blood boil. And then Emma has a nerve to act like Audrey betrayed her its bullshit sure Audrey is not perfect but she is not at fault eather there is nothing wrong to seek acceptance from someone you think as friend and that was what piper was to Audrey and its kind of hypocritical of Emma to rant about trusting piper when she did exactly the same thing.

And dont get me started on Noah and his male stupidity just because you get chance to get laid and loose that V-card doesnt mean you can essentially abadon his best friend and ignore her phonecalls. Dude there is killer on the loose and you are thinking with your dick. He was not supposed to let Zoe to come between them Bros before Hoes or something bullshit like that. Audrey try to get along with Zoe but Zoehardly tollerate Audrey and Noah ignores this because he is a male.He is not comletly gone down hill and there is stll hope.

I love it how Brookes and Audreys relationship envolved through hardship. They were never friends until they were survivors and they are close as they ca. Even thought there was that video on season 2 brooke still believed tha Audrey was innocent even with all of that evidence. She might have relized to hold on to her friends because they are all that she has left.

I dont know what to say about stavo really. Mysterious guy with death and blood fetish? Or just coping meganism to endure the pain of loosing his bestfriend and get throuh the murder spree?

When you watch Scream many times you get to see how obviius it is that Kieran is the killer. Think about it EVERY time Emma tells kieran on the phone where she is and not long and the killer is there and when the cops or something other interupts him Kieran Appeares out of no where full of concern.And even on season 1 it was hinted that he was the second killer.

I was dissapointed to see their Bromance go down like that because of one girl and i hope to see in season three that they acctually fix their friendships. And i really would like to see murder free season for a once because season three has only 6 episodes so it would be nice to see them heal rather than ger more mental and emotional trauma. Because i believe that in Pilot Noah said something like forget that its a horror story. Every one is a fair game. You care for them and root for them and when someone dies it hurts. This series might even end up like “and then there was none”

Now i apologize those who bother to read my rant because it got out of hand and didnt include all of the last remaining character. I also wanted to post something on tumblr so could share my thoughts. Dont get me wrong i love this series and the best part of watching it over and over again i can find something different about about all characters.
