#th: fins

[thecipherr]

Tae hardly waits for Fins to settle back into his corner of the ring before he is on the mutant, ducking under his cover to muscle his way into the other's personal space. It's the work of only seconds for him to jab a quick, efficient fist into the left side of Fins' ribcage and dart away again, retreating as swiftly as he'd advanced.

"That's what I mean. Your guard is too high and too wide. Tighten up."

fins makes a frustrated noise in the back of his throat, but he pulls himself up from his seat all the same. he's exhausted after working all day and it feels like they've been training for hours. "fine," he grumbles, grinding his teeth together. getting back into position, he continues, "go again."

[xserpx]

He watched Rikke strut away from Savine, both of them smiling like warmer words were never said. His old lover and his new. Or two old lovers, maybe. Wasn’t much affection between him and the Lady Regent these days. Since she helped Orso escape, any warm feelings were strictly for the benefit of observers.

Maybe everyone follows in their parents’ footsteps, doomed to blunder into the same mistakes like a blind man into furniture. All our paths set before birth, inevitable, like Curnsbick’s useless fucking cart, only running on the rails it’s given. The only choice you have is how fast you’ll roll to the end of the line. A depressing thought. Leo was having a lot of those, lately.

— The Wisdom of Crowds by Joe Abercrombie

That was the story they always told, but Leo remembered it differently.

‘I love you,’ he whispered. ‘I love you too.’ Gently stroking his face as he slipped back into sleep. It was true. He was a good man. One of the best. Honest, brave, loyal to a fault. They were well matched. Optimist and pessimist, dreamer and cynic. And what is love anyway, but finding someone who suits you? Someone who makes up for your shortcomings? Someone you can work with. Work on.

The other thing about furries is I get very stressed about anatomy that doesn’t actually really matter. Like Do The Necks Make Sense? this is important to me and only me.

I have been so thoroughly shocked by this revelation that I have decided just art is not enough. I made the CONSCIOUS decision to use human WORDS today. Ohmigosh.

Cold, cold, cold,

Was it always this cold?

The battle is over with, yellows and greens and purples and guts galore

Stain the battle field red red red

Just like me,

Sinking and swimming rich red, red, grey?

Busy celebration, wild relief.

But my colors stop moving. Frozen in place

Where is my heart?

Where is my brain?

My fingers, my hands.

They move.

But not the right ones.

My hands are not made of metal, iron, or steel.

Back to the core, my s-sp-s-heart.

Down, down, down.

Wires strangle me as I move.

Around my mind, tendons, spi-sp-[error]

Where is my helmet?

Down, down, down.

I could shake it o-of- out

Push past, back to the red red grey

I feel something soft, outside the wire

Soft but cold.

What is this?

This is where I was, but this is not me.

Where did I go?

This is-i-was n-n-me

[Error]

Panic seeps into this metal frame.

But I it-its-am still

It’s not me

red grey grey

I push against the wire, iron hot around my rre- grey face and run around my metal coffin,

Wrapped slowly around and around, choking me-m-it gone.

Screaming my name, but n-ot-n- [error] in my voice.

I am not talking.

The world begins to rock, nice and slow.

Not down, out.

Air

I open the-th-my vents

And feel nothing.

Squeeze my-m-their hand

grey grey grey

It’s so cold in here.

Was it always so cold in-i-[error] here?

It’s not cold.

I need my face. Air.

It’s cold but I feel hot.

[error]

It is not cold.

I can feel it, something rushing from its-it-i-my head to i-my fin-fi-digits.

Away from this cold. It’s not cold anymore.

[error]

It was never cold.

Over the grey grey grey, around the wires, past the pipes, up the steam, through the metal.

grey grey blue?

Up further and further.

Past the wires, past the soft grey cold,

And around where my sp-s-heart is-is-i-i-i-was.

Back to it-my face, face?

Everything is blue.

But its n-notn-ot- [error] supposed to be

Make it red.

I lift i-my hands

Wrap them around -my face

Slide my digits under the blue, blue, blue

And pull.

Creak, crack, splinter, scream

It falls to the ground

Happy faces look my way

Not anymore.

One worried,

Hey, worried.

I’m not feeling too hot.

The world begins to rock, nice and slow.

blue, blue,, white

[eritvita]

Ever-valiant, the glint-eyed Watcher with the infinite Wood, dost Roland's eyes open amidst her breathy twitches, the tightening of her hips 'round his palm, and his slides his tongue from her breast to press his chin to her sternum; watching her, admiring the heady flush and the dazed expression of pleasure upon her beautiful, feminine face. "Is thus so very new to thee?" he murmurs, his voice gone raspy with sequestered lust.

He rubs his palm to her dampened pussy, matching her roil, touching the soft skin so woefully covered by her wet panties with the tips of his fingers. His face puckers with fond delight, the cute twitches of her face. He removes his palm to touch her hidden clit with those fingers directly, massaging her through that Safety Net of river-wet fabric. He presses his lips, warm, soft, to that valley betwixt her naked breasts. "Hast thou thought of this oft, lovely vhenan?"

There is a soft sound as she feels his lips connect with her skin so completely now. Her own lips part as a soft 'oh' is breathed out, one hand now curls through the dark trusses, nails grazing lightly along his scalp while the other all but stills in it's teasing motions. His tongue is ever so distracting, and when he moves to that which he had been neglecting, another round of keening drifts between them.

"Vhenan..." Finduilas practically coos the endearment as she watches him now, blue and green hues admiring each and every little movement she never knew she could ever live without. "I am besotted with you, Roland...from the moments of our meeting unto your comfort in the Graves...ever are you my savior...you are the morning sun that bathes me in first light and makes all the darkness disappear...I-!"

Her words are stilled as that hand slips between them, and as he presses against her pelvis and cunt, her lashes flutter and her hips rut up, a choked back cry of utter pleasure ripples through her abdomen and down into her thighs. A soft whimper follows as her knees try to close, only to squeeze him between her legs.

"O-Oh, Roland...!" A maiden she yet was. Never before had she even thought of touching herself. All that she ever read in books was skipped over as soon as she realized what it was. Truly...this was her first endeavor in gentle ministrations and displays of deeper desires and wanting. Once more does she try to seek that pleasure out, rolling up and into his hand while hers tries to stroke him once again.

Your hate fuck fic was absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS. Anything else with that mean ole’ radio demon degrading the reader would be greatly appreciated 🧎🏻‍♀️🧎🏻‍♀️ maybe like the reader was angels friend- it’s a given she’s well versed in sex n such but has given up that life and he’s determined to see just what made her so popular 👹

themes: 18+! Fem!reader, creampies, fingering, begging, retired pornstar? Nudity, implied drunk sex (reader goes get sober), kissing, dick-riding, blowjob, long tongue, implied pussyeating,

Alastor x retired!pornstar reader

When you came to the hotel you were rather embarrassed to show up looking a hot mess, but regardless Charlie took you in.

You smiled when you saw a familiar face, Angel. Th two of you worked under Valentino until you ‘retired’.

“Toots here was the best in the business! She always knew how to bring in the big bucks” Angel had said during your introduction to the others, causing Husker to groan at the thought of another Angel in their midst and the others to be surprised. You really didn’t match the description.

You were the epitome of sex appeal before calling it quits. But the industry wasn’t like it use to be and Val wanted you to be more…willing to venture out of your comfort zone.

You weren’t really a pornstar per say, but you knew how to get the job done.

But you wanted to turn a new leaf. You ditched the tight and revealing outfits for more loose and modest clothing. It felt good to be your actual self.

But that didn’t mean that your sexual appetite just disappeared.

Alastor was the first to notice when you ditched the slutty attire to more conservative wears. You carried yourself like a well-mannered lady, but he always saw how you looked at him.

So he took it upon himself to see just how far you go when you couldnt contain your desires any longer.

You had been drinking with Angel, discussing how dumb Val’s scripts were and wondering how people enjoyed horribly written porn plots.

Angel had passed out on the couch and you stumbled your way to your room.

You giggled as you crashed into stuff and sighed in relief when you found what you thought was your bedroom.

You began undressing and in your drunken state, you caught sight of a full mirror. You took in your form and admired how you looked.

maybe you should have dibbled into porn. Your body was killer.

You pitted around to try and find a nightie for bed, but frowned as you came up empty.

”What are you doing in my room my Dear?” A voice asked, causing you to yelp and turn around to fins Alastor standing in the door.

You blinked slowly “y-your room? no this is…” you finally took in your surroundings and realized that you were indeed NOT in your room.

Instead, it was Alastor’s room.

You rubbed your neck, embarrassed “O-oh I’m sorry Alastor” you staggered to the door and went to move past him, but he shut the door.

”now now my dear a lady shouldn’t be walking the halls in your state, why dont you rest here for a while” his smile wide.

It had to be the alcohol in your system, because you smiled back and leaned your body into his, arms circling his neck “Oh Alastor youre so kind”

You had completely forgot you were practically naked.

Now that you were up close, you took in his features.

Angel was right. He was hot.

You always had thought Alastor was attractive. He oozed dominance and carried himself with such a prideful way.

You oftened imagined him having his way with you at night, resulting in many panties needing to be changed in the morning.

”something the matter my dear?” Alastor asked as he saw you stared at him, cheeks turning a rosy pink.

”H-has anyone every told you that you’re sexy?”

Alastor blinked and let out a laugh

”Oh my dear! Please this is Hell, I hear a lot of things. That pesky spider is always making depraved jokes of a sexual nature”

He grimaced with a shudder

You frowned ”then what about me?” You asked softly.

 You suddenly became aware that you were in the nude…in alastor’s room…and he was just conversing like he hadn’t noticed.

He tilted his head, grinning at the pout on your lip

“What about you my dear?”

”You have the best piece of ass that ever graced the pentagram and you’re doing nothing. I’ve had guys kill to get this close to me” 

That liquid courage must have been working double in your system, because you nuzzled your nose under his jaw, whining “Don’t you want to touch me?”

Alastor hummed as you trailed your lips up his neck

what a tempting little thing you were

”why don’t you show me what makes you the best doll?”

You had sobered up after the second orgasm.

Alastor had made you cum by his fingers and mouth. The tongue on that one

You were currently bobbing your head p and down on his cock. Eyes locked on his glowing red eyes as you deep throated him. Alastor had a lazy smile on his face as you sucked to your heart content.

You released him with a pop, keeping your tongue wrapped around his length. Happpy with your work you let him go and turned your attention to his balls.

Back in your hay day, you would have never let a man get this far with you, but you wanted this. You wanted to treat Alastor to what made you so appealing.

You climbed your way back onto his lap, slamming your lips on his as you Lined him up to your entrance.

Fuck you were soaking.

A throaty whine escaped you as you lowered yourself on his cock

Alastor’s hands found purchase on your plush ass, helping you set a steady pace.

You were riding him like you’ll never get this chance again.

His cock felt so good. Hitting spots that had you mewling in his mouth.

You were sure his cock was coated white with how soppy your cunt was.

Breaking from his mouth, you moaned as he thrusted up into you, meeting your downward thrust. You were about to cum again. That sweet tingle shot through your core as you bounced on him.

”A-Alastor! Ah! P-please…I-I’m I’m gonna cum” you moaned quickening your pace.

You leaned back, one hand bracing his thigh, the other found your clit and you rubbed tight, fast circles as you rode him.

Alastor watched as you fell apart on his cock, he sped up his thrusts and growled when your cunt started to squeeze him.

”Go on dear. Cum. I want to feel that cunt cum on my cock.”

you whimpered, throwing your head back, a silent scream on your lips as your orgasm ripped through you.

Alastor braced your hips and rutted into you until he tensed; spilling his cum deep into your cunt.

You collapsed into his chest, grinning on him to ride out your orgasm.

panting, you sighed as he peppered your shoulder and neck with kisses.

”Finest cunt to grace Hell indeed my dear”

👉👈🥺 Sebastian patching an expendable up and being grumpy about it?

A stray bullet had ricocheted off the vent and into your side, making you cry out and fall to your stomach, you army crawl as much as you can through the vent before pulling yourself into the blessed safety of Sebastian’s shop.

Sweat beads your brow and you’re high on adrenaline, you sit leaning against the wall, gingerly touching your side just to confirm your fears, you were bleeding quite profusely. Fiery sensations spread up from the wound, all across your torsos right side. You paled, pressing your hand back to the wound starting to panic.

“Ahem.” A voice finally cuts through your panic enough for you to hear. “You going to buy something or are you just gonna bleed all over my floor?”

Right.

In all your panic you almost forgot to acknowledge him. “Sebastian.” You say his name, looking up at the mutated shop keeper. He cocks a brow at you, glowing cyan eyes unreadable. He tucks a stubborn piece of hair behind his webbed ear fins, a movement you’ve become familiar with when visiting him.

“Yeah?” He finally says, sounding annoyed. You’d be indignant if you weren’t so weak. You try to stand up, eyeing a medkit on his tail before feeling pain jolt through you, making you crumble back to the floor, droplets of flood splattering out. This was bad. Serious. You couldn’t die again, you had no more ferry coins.

“Please.” You say, trying to crawl, half scooting across the floor. “I’ll pay. Help me.” You plead.

Sebastian makes an annoyed sound, long thick tail flapping against the far wall in what you assume is irritation.

“This isn’t a nurses office.”

“I’ll give you everything I have.” You say, feeling woozy.

Sebastian sighs, leaning down from the great height he holds himself. Long enough he doesn’t even need to move from his spot to reach you.

Large cold hands seat your hand from your side, claws surprisingly gentle as they probe the wound. “Over here.” He grumbles, not giving you a warning as he hooks a hand under you, lifting you easily with just one palm.

He sets you down on a couple of crates pushed together, pushing on your shoulders till you’re lying down.

You vision is spotty but you catch his focused look behind his dangling esca. He yanks the medkit from his tail, flicking it open and rummaging around before finding something and biting the top off it. He spits the lid to the side and pours something on your side making you jump, pain burning through you.

“What the f-“ he keeps his third smaller arm pressed against your chest, keeping you down easily. “Quiet, I need to focus.” He snaps, threading a needle with his free hands. He meets your eyes briefly, you almost could swear with pity.

“This will hurt.” He says, prying your bloodied torn suit away from the wound.

“No really I had no ideAAAA” you cry out, feeling him slowly start to sew up your wound. It’s agonizing, but his heavy hand on your chest keeps you grounded. “Almost done, you’re doing fine.” He assures, giving you a comforting(?) squeeze. He finally closes the wound, biting the string and pulling out some bandages. You grunt as he sits you up, wrapping the bandages around your waist for you.

He’s very close. You dont think you’ve ever seen his face so up close. You notice small scars on his skin, scales that creep on the sides of his face, even gills that peek out from under his neck scarf. He clears his throat and you realize you’ve been staring at him.

“Th-thank you.” You say, lightly touching your side and feeling the bandages. He did a good job.

“Yeah well…” he lets go of you, leaning back and rising back to his usual height. “You owe me.”

You nod, moving slowly as to not rip your new stitches and retrieve all the data you’ve packed away on this run. You weakly hold it up to him and he takes it gingerly from your hand, claws brushing over the back of your hand. You swing your leg over the side of the crate, ready to leave.

“Be careful next time yeah? I don’t want that medkit to go to waste.” He says, with a lot less bite then you’re used to.

“Yeah. I got it. Thank you.”

He watches you leave, ear fins wiggling slightly.

This Week in BL - It's odd rn but VERY PRETTY

Organized, in each category, with ones I'm enjoying most at the top.

Oct 2024 Week 1

Ongoing Series - Thai

Jack & Joker (Thai Mon IQIYI) ep 4 of 12 - I love Joke so much! And I love War in this role so much. It’s great. This is a great show it’s such fun. The comedy is somewhat leaving me flat. But that’s normal for me in this kind of Thai BL. I also like Hope. I shouldn’t, but I do. I love the little girl character as well, and I do believe that Joke has found his scion in her.

(As per usual the grandma of this BL speaks for all of us.)

Kidnap (Fri YT) ep 5 of 12 - Coils be coiling. Mummy dearest is v hot. I do like the twist on the henchmen. It would’ve been really gut-wrenching if Q had put the rope around his own wrist the night that he slept by himself (or tried to). And they have now made "the promise that is destined to be broken" waves at trope. Meanwhile, great flirting. Next week being episode six we should be getting our kiss.

(Was GMMTV gently poking at Jack & Joker with that play-within-a-play reference to Jack as Min's stunt part?)

Fourever You (Thai Thurs YT) ep 1 of 16 - Sampler pack university BL from Wabi Sabi that's trying to be a gay Boys Over Flowers (4 older med student hot boys + frosh) and it’s exactly what I want right now. Is it good? No, not really. Do I care? Not at all. It is, in fact, boys over flowers... only boys no flowers. I really couldn’t want anything more than that. What can I say? I’m easy. I love a pining seme. I guess what I am saying is, I am trash for trash. Inject this shit directly into my eyeballs.

Love Sick 2024 (Thai Sun iQIYI) ep 3 of 15 - At least in this version they talk bit more with each other about what’s going on. (Then again in the original we didn't need it, the acting was so good.) Still it’s a lot more modern to see representation of communication, but but the previous version felt more honest to teen behavior. This open communication entirely changes the push pull dynamic of Phun & Noh's whole relationship. I actually LIKE that change because it makes it very different from the original. I’ve been hoping that this one would veer in a different direction. I'm enjoying that they've made it Phun with the long term crush, and that he’s sort of testing himself with heterosexuality. It is selfish, but it is also a very rich kid thing to do. I love the shouted confessions and the decision to not date. This is a really good twist on the original. I’m liking this a hell of a lot more now that it’s substantially changed in direction, if not in tone.

Monster Next Door (Thai Thurs Gaga ) ep 11 of 12 - It’s very sweet and wholesome. And everyone kisses pretty. And I do like the communication and green flag aspects of this show. But I'm also finding it a touch dull. 

Battle of the Writers (Sun YT) ep 9 of 12 - I don’t know. The pretending to be blind thing is weird. This whole show is weird. I’m kinda weirded out by it. I like the two side couples well enough, but we get barely any time with them at all.

I Saw You in My Dream (Weds Gaga) ep 12 fin - I like that they did come around to the dreaming thing as a major plot point in the end. Even though it felt like they forgot about it in the middle. And I liked that it was an inherited family trait. I didn’t expect that (should have, but I didn't). And I thought it suited this kind of drama, even if it was a little pat. The whole family helping at the very end was very sweet and a nice full circle for the narrative. (Like the Ae's family sort of adopting the next-door kids originally. 

Summation

A cute friends to lovers romance, that’s a little bit like the stepbrothers trope since these two grow up next-door to each other and in and out of each other’s lives. The paranormal element is about prophetic dreams, and it is threaded through the narrative even if it gets somewhat lost in the muddy middle. All in all, a sweet fun little series with decent chemistry. 8/10

Addicted Heroin (Thai Tues WeTV) ep 8 of 10 - I've totally forgotten what’s going on. There was another kidnapping. Maybe they’re actually dating now? I don’t know. Honestly, it won’t really matter cause everything will change by the end of this episode... again. That said, I did love the parental confrontation sequence. It’s not as good as in the original because it’s a lot more direct and modernized, but it was pleasingly aggressive. Which I weirdly appreciated for the military angle. The cross-dressing thing was odd. The dolls advertising thing is even odder. Jealous baby on sports day was good though.

Bad Guy My Boss (Thai Sun Gaga) ep 3 of 10 - Why did I feel like I’ve seen this entire episode already. It’s just different characters saying the same thing to the main characters or flirting the same way or whatever. 

Live in Love (Sun Gaga) ep 5 fin - I did not like this ep at all. Fully half of it was evil backstabbing and some bullying and some sort of trying to engender sympathy for a friendship betrayal. And I was not on board. (Wouldn’t mind seen Hali and that cute kid in something together tho.) 

Conclusion

Basically this was a story about online relationships and how they interface with the real world, and in personal friendships, plus bullying of all types and some backstabbing and shipping. The acting was weak, the sound was terrible, and generally it was an old style pulp offering. It tried to deal with some interesting issues, but was awfully clumsy about it. 5/10 

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

Sugar Dog Life (Japan Sun grey) ep 9 fin - Such a great confession, so truthful and earnest and honest. And he’s also like that with his friends. And such a nice answer. I love that during the cool off they both realize how very much they both act like are boyfriends to each other all the time. Ooo running of the gays! And we even got a cute little smile kiss!!!! and an adorable boyfriend montage at the end. How unexpectedly satisfying of you, Japan!

Summation 

This is a phenomenally charming and adorable little romance about a forlorn university kid and the police officer who adopts him. They are relentlessly kind to each other, in fact it’s an extremely kindly show over all (everyone in it is so nice to everyone else including us) so there’s very little tension. But what it lacks in drive and complexity it makes up for in earnest acts of service and simple affection. These two are basically boyfriends from the get-go, it’s just one of them acts like it and doesn’t realize it and the other one realizes it and has to figure out how to make it a reality. It’s incredibly sweet and incredibly wholesome, nourishing but delicious. Everybody who can should watch this show. It will make you feel better about life. 

Easy 9/10 on this one from me.  

GO WATCH IT  

Teenager Judge (Vietnam Sat YT) ep 2 of ? - We have some semblance of a plot! Yay! Our BV tsundere character is secretly an online judge who whistleblows and exposes corruption in the school system. How very Pump Up the Volume. I am not mad about it. Also 2 of the prettiest seme bullies EVER. The epic pout-off with these bad boys. Be still my heart.

Our Golden Times (Hong Knong ??? YT) 1-4 of ? - Billed as a BL from Hong Kong I’m not sure we can trust this one to a get finished or be cohesive or have an HEA. But the optics are good. Everybody’s very pretty. It’s chaotic and clumsy and a little odd. But most of the stuff on my dash is these days, so what the hell? And ya know what, I kinda like it.

Love is Like a Poison AKA Doku Koi: Doku mo Sugireba Koi to Naru (Japan Tues Netflix?) 4 of 10 eps - It remains entertaining but off kilter in that way that indicates 50% chance of ultimate dissatisfaction in the JBL pantheon. 

First Note Of Love (Taiwan Mon Gaga) ep 9 of 12 - I wish we knew a little bit more about Sea's background/family. Neil should just tell him what the hell is going on. Why wouldn’t he? Instead they artificially wedged the main couple apart for most of this episode and Orca wasn’t there at all? = Not a good episode IMHO.

It's airing but...

My Damn Business (Korea Sat ????) 7 eps - supposedly airing on Saturdays starting 10/5 have no roleand I found the trailer but nothing else.

The Hidden Moon (Sat WeTV) ep 1 of 10 - This is a supernatural romance (my ghost boyfriend trope) by Violet Rain (I Feel You Linger). A man is hired to write an article about an old mansion in Chiang Mai being converted into a café. He sees the ghosts of people who died at the mansion, falls in love with one of them. Was substantially recast. I loved IFYLITA except the ending so I think I'll let this one run it's course you can tell me if it's work tracking down... if they managed to land it. I have my doubts.

Next Week Looks Like This:

Upcoming BLs for 2024 are listed here. This list is not kept updated, so please leave a comment if you know something new or RP with additions.

Coming Oct 2024:

10/7 Every You Every Me (Thai Mon Gaga) 10 eps - Jade and Chin have lived over a thousand lifetimes. In each one they somehow manage to fall in love with each other. (This pair, TopMick was piloted in a My Universe ep, that was one of the only ones I liked.)

10/10 Eccentric Romance (Korea Thurs Viki & Gaga) 12 eps - Silkwood’s 2nd Thai/Korean colab, that has been in production since 2022 which is a LONG time in the BL world. I'm worried but I like the concept: friends of 10 years who’ve been hiding feelings for each other enter the same university. Plus MURDER.

10/10 Gangster and His Boyfriend (Korea Thurs ????) 8 eps? - Kim Dong Bin (famous trainee & idol reality competitor, yeah that happens) stars as a fallen idol who unexpectedly becomes entangled in a gangster family. Discovers that his friend’s father is responsible for the murder of his entire family years ago. I don't know much about this one, neither does anyone else and I'm not sure where I got that release date so……

10/21 Love in the Big City (Korea ????) 8 eps - Okay both a movie (already out) and a series. Neither one is likely BL and I can't imagine it will end happily. I'm giving both a pass but here's your synopsis.

Cynical fun loving student Young pinballs from home, to class, to on night stands. He and Jaehee, his female besie and roommate, frequent nearby bars where they push away their worries about life, love, and money with soju and hookups.

10/23 See Your Love (Taiwan Gaga Viki) 10 eps? - Zi Xiong, a third-generation heir, attempting to flee from taking over their family business, meets and falls in love with Shao Peng, who works as a hearing-impaired nurse. From the same production house as Kiseki Dear To Me in partnership with Shinehouse Theatre, funded by Taiwan’s BIGART + Japan's Rakuten (Viki). Show includes Lin Chia Yo (Be Loved in House: I Do). Director Chiang Ping Chen’s childhood experiences with his deaf uncle have inspired the drama.

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

I kinda love it when someone else does the prophetic claiming. Our Golden Times

Crumbs in Summer Nights but they very cute crumbs. We didn't even really get to see them get together but I'm glad that they are.

(Last week)

Streaming services are listed by how I (usually) watch, which is with a USA based IP, and often offset by a day because time zones are a pain.

The tag BLigade: @doorajar @solitaryandwandering @my-rose-tinted-glasses @babymbbatinygirl @babymbbatinygirl @isisanna-blog @mmastertheone @pickletrip @aliceisathome @urikawa-miyuki @tokillamonger @sunflower-positiiivity @rocketturtle4 @blglplus @anythinggoesintheshire @everlightly @renafire @mestizashinrin @bl-bam-beyond @small-dark-and-delicious @saezurumurmurs

And so, I decided to write an article where I will try to explain my theory that the peacemaker Steb, as well as some Zaunites, are amphibian vastayas. I will refer to ent LoL and anatomy.

1. Confirmation of the theory that they are Vastaya.

And so, what do we know about Vastaya.

" The vast is a group of races with sexual dimorphism, differing in shape and size. Their animal appearance depends on the place in which they have adapted, and on their animal spirit. However, if you do not take into account the differences between land, sea and air tribes, there are three types of Vastaya:

·The "bestial" Vastaya resemble other animals, but are bipedal or slightly humanoid.

· "Human-like" Vastaya are very similar to humans, especially in terms of facial features, but still retain a modest level of animalistic elements: for example, cat or fox ears, tails or feathers.

· Werewolves retain the appearance of a human or animal of their choice, but they are able to take on any form and come out of it."

As we can see, Steb and Jericho (this is the cook in Zaun) and the rest, they fit the Humanoid type. The Vastaya are heavily dependent on magic. Where does magic come from? It's simple - there is an The Void under the Zaun.(Actually, the Arcane is the brainchild of the The Void.)

" The Void - is a boundless space beyond existence. Born together with the universe itself, the The Void is the embodiment of incomprehensible nothingness from the depths of the earth. It is believed that in the bottomless darkness, deep underground, lie the first great creatures of the The Void who set foot on the surface of Runterra, dormant and invisible. After the fall of Ikatia, the abyssalborn spread throughout Shurima."

What does another Runter region have to do with it? Everything is simple. Zaun - used to be a part of Shurima. Plus, there is an artifact from Shurima hidden in the caves of the Zauna River, which Ezreal is looking for.

From all this, we conclude that the The Void is in the territory of Zaun. Vastaya needs magic. The Void = Arcane = Magic. This means that the conditions for living in Zauna and Piltover of Vastaya are suitable. Here I will give an example of another sea vastaya.

+The presence of another species of Vastaya - bats.

2. Amphibian?

I've seen many places that Stab is considered a fish... But anatomically, he is an amphibian. I would say one of the relatives of Triton and Salamanders.

And so, why isn't he a fish.

· Lack of scales. The same vasthaya on top, the mermaid, has scales. · Lack of fins? The Peacemakers' uniform is pretty tight, and I think if it had fins (except the dorsal one) they would be visible, or there would be changes in the shape itself. · The NICTITATING MEMBRANE, also known as the third eyelid. Fish, except Sharks, have no membrane...They just don't need it. The membrane should moisturize the eye, the fish are always in the water, they do not need it. (Sharks come to the surface to breathe.)

· Fish cannot live without water. As funny as it may sound, fish don't have lungs. Even lung bags. Just the gills. And their skin will not be able to stay on land without hydration. They lack sebaceous glands.

And yes, we can say that the Vastai are half-humans and they could have it all, but ... Why do Nami and her tribe live in water?

Why do I think he's an amphibian

· The third eyelid. All amphibians have it because of their habitat conditions in water and on LAND.

·Skin. It has sebaceous glands for hydration. I don't think Piltover has a maritime climate.

·Triton have a dorsal fin, but lack webbing on their paws and fins.

· Lungs. Some amphibians have lungs and gills. Plus, they breathe through their skin.

The presence of a tail is questionable. I don't think they have it.It's hard to hide a tail under your pants, unless it's thin, but then it's useless underwater.

Ears... Underwater inhabitants do not need an auricle. It will even get in the way. I think this is the human thing.

Also, human, it's warm-blooded. Fish, amphibians are cold-blooded creatures, which means that in the absence of a heat source (the sun) or in the low temperature season, they cannot function normally and go into hibernation before the onset of heat.

That's just my theory.

Non-Sprunki Entities / Deities

While most would know of The Sun due to various religions across Cacophony, there are other beings that exist (even not just in the Sunshine Suburbs) that do not fall under the category of being sprunkis.

The Sun

Our main patron and the reason for the suburbs' very existence. The Sun is regarded as a deity by sprunki-kind due to his life-giving light and previous actions of saving ancient sprunkis from the likes of darkness who cannot (And should not) be named. Though due to his previous bold actions such as the tale of the day-knight's cycle (When The Sun descended down to the ground to slay the darkness wherever he appeared. Though according to The Sun he could not keep this up-) there arose cults who's type of gratitude (Such as blood sacrifices, severe flagellation and acts of which harmed others and themselves) were not appreciated by The Sun who only wished everyone to live happily.

This is also why he is hesitant to make any contact with others below aside from us Lighthouse keepers (Mainly Glowe Pharos) who are close friends with him and swear to uphold his will to give people better lives. Any inquiries or requests directed towards The Sun will be answered in proxy by one of us relaying his reply.

The Lighthouse

(OOC: The Lighthouse/Luxia is designed by @knightmira, Thank you!) Otherwise known as Luxia, she is our other patron and the reason for our group (The Lighthouse Keepers) forming. We are not the original members- But this group had started off as those who worshipped Luxia having particular people tend to her (Similar to sprunki from the islands beyond Cacophony's main land having Guardian Beasts with us believing that most of these inital followers being from the islands/ descended from island sprunki as Glowe's family has.) Eventually this duty would fall upon members of the Pharos family due to a mutation they had developed (Glowing bulbs on their fins.) which was believed by the others to be a sign that Luxia had chosen them as her keepers. This had continued on for generations upon generations- Glowe had said this entire thing didn't exactly allow people to quit being keepers or let others join until his grandparents took the duty. Luxia herself is... Well an animal, Blessed by The Sun. We've observed her behavior and the Pharos family have sent data to researchers and have found her to be the only surviving member of the ancient glowraffes (ancestors of the modern blinker family of creatures.) and while they grew to be large- Luxia far exceeds the size of any previously found fossils of her kind. The Sun confirms he had blessed her a very long time ago because she was very tame and would protect sprunkis as if they where her babies. This blessing is also believed to be why she is still here to this very day.

The Moon

Unlike The Sun we are not in contact with The Moon so our knowledge of her is limited to what The Sun tells us of her and folk tales. She is his dear friend and has been for far longer than we've been alive. He says she is nice and wants the same things as him but she's been worn down by what she's seen happen. So she prefers to not be acknowledged or worshipped in any way because she fears cults about her would form... Which is understandable. We do not see her often unless we approach the border of town at nighttime hours. The Sun wishes they'd talk more often... He misses his friend.

Mr. Tree

Formerly a sprunki many decades ago, Mr.Tree had been turned into what they are to save their life by The Sun. They do not remember what their name originally was- What they do remember being on a trail with their family, getting lost and then almost starving as they chatted with The Sun as if he were just a friend and not a god (Admittedly The Sun said they sounded delirious when they did but.. It was friendly banter and not chants or prayer.). So The Sun took mercy on them and ensured they would never starve again… This meant that he had turned Mr. Tree into their namesake.

Mr.Tree is also the reason why the suburbs is located where it is, Being in the town's park. We decorate their branches during holidays and they enjoy a good conversation!

The Darkness

This is more of a warning than anything. If you find anything containing mention of it’s name DO NOT READ IT, DO NOT SPREAD IT, DO NOT KEEP IT. Burn it as soon as you can and if it is already too late, Please come to us and we will try all we can to save you and everyone else. Do not listen to what the shadows say... They are not kind, they do not care about you... All they are is hungry... And you are not exempt from becoming another morsel in a meal. We promise, This is only for your own safety. Please.
