A Step into the Final Path

Listen, I think I speak for all of us when I say I wish we could tell Ben the truth. That being said (pulls out a mallet-). Anyway enjoy and don't read this if u haven't gotten past the fishing minigame!

Consciousness came to Cursor slowly alongside wave upon wave of pain. They wanted to go back to sleep, ignore it. Stay laying wherever they were despite how rough it was... 

Wait... where were they? That felt important, but why- 

Oh. Oh... that's right, the lake! 

Nelson!! 

Cursor jumped up, looking around for their companion. However... he was nowhere to be found. And somehow they were no longer in the depths of the lake: they were back at Nelson's home, on his pier. There wasn't any boats nearby - which meant Skye wasn't here, a small blessing. 

...But then, how did they get here? Was he okay? He must be - they couldn't have pulled themselves onto the pier, and those fish were vicious. Maybe he pulled them up and went inside his home to grab something that he could use to defend them? 

If he did, then... then Cursor would help him! They could fight too, and he'd rescued them: it was up to them to repay the favor. 

Their mind made up, they cautiously crept towards the front door- 

Only to immediately feel their heartbeat skyrocket once more. 

The house was destroyed, and after checking both the living room and bedroom the only traces of the frog were bloody bandages heading towards the front door. The glass that'd once been centralized to the cabinet was now littering the entire floor... along with something else? Cursor couldn't make it out, so they moved closer and pushed some of the glass off of it. 

It was a photo of Ben, Nelson, and... someone else - maybe Skye? Cursor couldn't tell as a part of it was missing. Feeling compelled to pick it up, they hid it by tucking it next to the lining of their thumb. 

Nelson probably wouldn't want to return here, especially since Skye knew this place. Cursor would keep this safe until they met up again. 

Family was important to him after all. 

After exploring the upper room again and grabbing the lantern, they took one last glance around before setting out into the forest. They had to find their friend. 

♧--♧ 

Tears obscured Ben's vision, making the forest blurry as he tried to navigate home. He knew it'd be best to pause and take a breath, let his emotions center themselves so he wouldn't be distracted but - but - 

He'd always been terrible at that, it - it was dad who would help him. And! And now he was gone, Ben would never see him again-!! 

"Aah!" 

A tree root he hadn't seen tripped the young frog. 

The foliage didn't stop him as he rolled down, down, down and further into the forest. The branches kept trying to tear at his skin which left burning, itchy lines across his limbs. Leaves found their way into his hair and holes the branches left some even finding their way into the scratches to make them worse. It felt like it'd never end... but eventually he stopped. With a yelp he landed on his face, which wasn't fun. It was better than if he kept rolling though, he guessed- 

Krkrtch 

Ben tensed, turning towards the tall grass near him. There... was there something there? 

Krkrtchkrctk! 

There was and - and it was getting closer. Ben stumbled to his feet, attempting to make himself bigger despite how scared he felt and the pain jolting through his body due to the fabric of his clothes rubbing against his scratches. He remembered his dad said some creatures in the forest wouldn't hurt you if they thought you were the scarier predator. 

Hopefully this was one of them. 

The brush parted... 

And the white glove popped out. 

Oh, well now he felt so stupid.

Getting all worked up because of a glove. He glared at them though - just because he fell on his head didn't mean he forgot they didn't do anything to help dad. "What do you want?!" 

The glove paused, then turned palms up towards him. Their thumb kept what was in their palm trapped, but Ben couldn't tell what it was besides being made out of paper. 

He didn't want whatever it was though. He wasn't going to let them manipulate him again. He shoved them away, only for them to push against his arm again. His blood boiled and he growled out, "I don't want-!" 

His voice left him as he made out the figures in the photo. 

It was... it was the photo Skye took when they first met her. A chunk of it was missing, the remnants stained somewhat red... but it was still that once treasured memory. With shaky hands he took it from the gloves grip. "W-where... where did you get this?" 

They started making symbols with their hands... but Ben had never seen them before. He thought he recognized an 'o,' but it could've been an 'a.' He spoke, "I'm... I don't know what you're trying to say." 

Grabbing a stick, the glove started pushing it into the ground. The stick got a 'y' down before it broke with a heavy snap!

They weren't disheartened though, instead grabbing a new stick to try again. After a few moments, there were words engraved in the forest floor. Your home. Skye lied to us. 

His eyes widened for a second... then Ben scoffed. "So what if she lied to your group of Handy Pals? She killed him and you-!" 

They shook themselves rapidly, distracting him from what he was about to say, and continued. Not Handy Pals. Your dad & I. She said she'd let you go if I lived. 

She didn't. She hurt us. 

O-oh. 

The dam was starting to crack. He wouldn't let it though - he couldn't trust them. With a shaking breath Ben heard himself speak, "You... you really tried to help him? How - I don't- how am I supposed to believe you?! What if you're lying just like her?!" 

They jumped back with the same force they would've flown if Ben had slapped the glove away. He felt bad for a second, but it faded quickly. He knew better than to trust someone to have his best interests at heart now. Why wouldn't this glove lie if it meant they could use him for something like they did at the house?! 

They seemed to think about it at least. Let me prove it then, by helping you. 

Ben sniffled... then got up, "Alright then, prove it. Help me get home, glove." 

It was more forceful than was allowed in polite conversation, but the glove did as they were told. They led him across the river, zipping in front then returning once the glove had made sure there was nothing hunting on the path. The first time they'd done it he thought they were leaving him. By the 3rd time he'd been painfully reminded of how his dad would sometimes do hunts with Ben, so he shoved it out of his mind and paid the little piece of velvet as little attention as he could. He only started focusing on it again when they were almost to his home since the glove finally did something strange. 

It paused before the bend... then motioned for him to cover his eyes. 

He wasn't sure why, but he did as they asked and covered his eyes. Maybe he thought they'd finally show their true colors and leave him and he'd resigned himself to that fate. Or they'd give Skye some signal and she'd stab him in the back, ending his pain, as little as that made sense. Maybe.. maybe a part of him did believe they had his best interests at heart, and trusted them that whatever was on the other side of the turn was something he'd regret seeing. 

Whatever the reason was subconsciously, he hadn't expected the glove to grab the hand that wasn't covering his eyes. Once it had his hand they started leading him along the last leg of the journey to his home. It.. it felt surprisingly good to trust them like this.

Like they had in Sky- in her music room. The feeling was probably fleeting... but Ben found himself keeping his hand over his eyes longer than he needed to keep the feeling a little bit longer. It was only after he felt the first step against his knee did he finally remove his hand.

Though he knew if the glove hadn't brought him here he would have never trusted them; Ben found himself wishing they didn't come. 

The house was a mess. 

Bandages with bloodstains and glass shards littered the floor, and the windows had hastily thrown up boards covering them. The once happy home, where he'd learned how to clean a fish and had cooked stew with his dad's watchful eyes over his shoulder... it was gone. The house he entered was lifeless, more like a carcass. He couldn't bring himself to go in, instead standing in the broken doorway and wishing this was all a dream.

...It wasn't of course.

At some point the glove had left. He wasn't sure what they were doing, too distracted by his own anguish, but he heard the sound of metal hitting dirt over and over. Eventually they came back and he let them pull him outside. He wasn't sure where they were going until he noticed the pile of dirt next to where the lake met the edge of the forest clearing their home was built on.

He didn't understand why it was there... until he saw his father's hat and a stone sitting upon the pile. 

A grave. 

They'd made his father a grave next to the water he loved so dearly.

Like an overwhelmed dam, this little action finally made Ben truly break.

With a wail the boy fell to his knees, grabbing the dirty cap and holding it with the last photo of his shattered family. His cries echoed through the forest, a sorrowful melody whose strength was so great not even the most monstrous creatures within go near. He cried, and everything fell around him - even his companion's attempts to comfort him as he wept. 

The moon watched over the two until it couldn't anymore, and with it, his cries slowly petered off. His companion continued to rub his back and remove leaves they found in an attempt to bring him even a single modicum of reassurance.

"...There's nothing for me here, is there?" 

They paused their comforting ministrations for a second. They stayed like that for a while, Ben found himself wishing they were as easy to read as- 

No. 

His grip tightened.

No he wouldn't think about him. His glove friend tapped his shoulder, then pointed down to the ground where something was written. ...He hadn't even seen them write, which was a bit worrying since it was right next to his feet. But he'd deal with that later. One problem at a time: wasn't that what the hunter believed in?

He knelt down to read the message a bit easier in the low moonlight. What about your other family members? 

"...I don't know where they are." He had been so little when they'd last met. Hi... his father said he was thinking of bringing Ben to visit in the summer, so he'd know where they were in case something happened. 

He wished his father hadn't put off the trip now. The glove (it seemed mean to just call them that, after all they'd done for him, maybe Lil Buddy would work?) seemed to think about this for a moment. They rubbed their thumb against their palm before jumping up and grabbing their stick again. You can join me! : D 

"W... would your family really be okay with that?" 

Lil Buddy stopped... then wiped across the ground. They slowly wrote out one simple sentence with their stick. 

No family. 

...Oh. 

Now that Ben thought about it, he'd never seen a Handy Pal like this one, had he? All the ones Skye had near her were garden gloves like the pair she wore. 

...Did she kill their family like she killed the one with a silver ring? Did she find this one afterwards on it's own, knowing they were the last member of their family, and decide to take it in? 

It must've really hurt how she betrayed them then... just as she had with him. 

His grip on the photo and the hat tightened, remembering the gentleness of his Lil Buddy. He'd been so mean to them; yet they stayed with him. They brought him this last remnant of his father and made sure he didn't have to see what Skye did to him. They'd made sure his dad had a proper grave. Lil Buddy made sure he was okay no matter how scary things were. 

Yet, they had no one to do the same for them. They... they were both alone here. "Then... then let's be our own family!" 

He jumped up, and headed towards his room. It probably scared Lil Buddy, but he was too focused on his mission. 

There wasn't much left for him here, but there was something he needed to do before they left. And it involved an old gift. 

The lens was cracked, but luckily he had a handful of spares his... his father had given him for his birthday a few months ago. With practiced ease he switched them out. Then Ben placed the strap connected to the camera around his neck as the glove entered the room. "Hey, Lil Buddy, can you stand there for a second?"

They jumped up, then settled against the ladder. His hands were shaky, the reminder of her still heavy in the air... but he had to do this. 

Click! 

The flash was blinding, so bright it even seemed to mess up Lil Buddy despite not having eyes! He almost lost the picture, though luckily they recovered faster than he did and caught it. 

"Thanks Lil Buddy." With the final component, Ben got to work. Shaking the film, he grabbed some tape from his bag. The photo was a bit blurry, and the lighting was rough; but it was perfect in his eyes. Now that he had everything else, there was just one more piece he needed. Bringing out the photo Lil Buddy gave him he set it on his dresser. 

He moved the other photo until Lil Buddy was where Sk... where she had been originally. Once satisfied, he taped them together and held the finished product between his fingers. 

It was messy, and a bit crumpled, but... it was their family now. 

"Okay, let's go Lil' Buddy." 

[the-bnnuy-digital]

Before the cursor arrives, we know that Ben and his father, Nelson, live together in a cabin in the woods. They do have other relatives that we don’t see in game, revealed by a family photo and antique shotgun.

At some point after they move there, they get lost in the woods and Skye/Silvie finds them and brings them back to their house, starting off their friendship. It’s also possible that Skye/Silvie knew about them long before they knew about her, given the ominous bunny ears in the family photo. However, the silhouette could also be Boxers. Probably not though.

Also, fun fact, Nelson actually escapes the fish! He makes it all the way back to the cabin like you do, bandages himself up, and is then killed by a mutated handy pal. I was a little confused here because I thought that the fish had somehow thrown him up, and then the mutated handy pal got him, but no.

[askboxers]

So, Boxers sorry to hear about your being mother cold-blooded Killer, who killed all your handy pals' friends and the fighters. I hope you're doing, okay?

Thanks dude…I could really use those words right now…I got a weird chill up my spine since all of this has happened…

[raddishwrites]

okay but like connor can take punch

Recap for Vod 14 — O Cabeção de 1000 de Vida

half of this vod was wandering around Valigma and talking about upgrading his items, while the other half was going through the dungeon to find denix \o/! (well… other stuff happened between and around all that, but this is the bigger stuff—see below for more information!)

a little note that none of the quotes are verbatim transcripts or translations but are instead meant to convey the vibe of what was said as accurately as I could do quickly

reblogs appreciated \o/

-Felps has a shader working and either that or some other settings has made it so the horns’ sparkles keep getting in his face. He switches them out for the cat ears again before switching those out for the flower \o/

-he doesn’t spend much time in the base today and heads straight to valigma

-he uses the mirror to teleport back to his bed because he wants to try upgrading the mirror. then goes back to Valigma

-talks about the different items he has + some of their upgrades for a bit

-stops to fill in a creeper hole a little, then continues running around Valigma and talking about the items 

-Felps decides to go to the modded abandoned mineshaft he was at a few vods ago. he also confirms that he won’t go to the cube without Meiaum 

-he runs into a “bubble entity” which looks like some kind of flying fish that keeps putting him in a bubble (the bubble just lifts him up for a bit before popping. with the bunny slippers he doesn’t take fall damage, but it doesn’t go that high anyway)

-he looks at an enderman and runs, but the bubbly entity is still bubbling him while the enderman attacks him

-he doesn’t have a sword. It broke sometime last time he was streaming on arkanis and he never replaced it (his armour is also nearly broken)

-he managed to get away from the bubble entity but the enderman is still chasing him and there are other monsters

-He tries to use the mirror to escape back to his base but the teleport keeps resetting when he takes damage

-he does manage to get away enough to use it though \o/ with two and a half hearts to spare pfft

-he looks at backpack upgrades. he can’t make any yet, but it seems like he wants the crafting upgrade + maybe the automatic feeding upgrade

-he smelts some more of his iron so he can make some armour

-he puts down one of the skeletons he got from the graveyard at the cube and it makes an ominous sound

-he keeps picking it up and putting it back down. He’s keeping it in his hats backpack in case he needs to play a dramatic sound effect

-makes himself a new set of iron armour + makes a diamond sword (he took a look at the other types of weapons you could make with the mods but prefers the classic sword) as well as an iron pickaxe

-him and guaxi talk via walkie talkie a little \o/ (even though he starts the conversation guaxi still scares him a little when he responds pfft)

-guaxi says he’s at “Felps’ stone” and Felps teleports back to base thinking it’s a code name for that pfft

-Felps tells him to refer to it as cubão and heads there to meet guaxi

-as he’s walking there he tells guaxi he’s arrived. he keeps trying to argue that he is there and guaxi is calling him a liar pfft

-Felps admits he isn’t there. Then a few seconds later says he’s arrived (he still hasn’t)

-once again “now I’ve arrived! Hi”-Felps, who still hasn’t arrived

-when Felps says again he’s arrived even though he technically hasn’t yet Guaxi starts robbing their chests pfft

-Felps is climbing up to the cube now

-guaxi puts back the stuff he stole and Felps arrives on top of the cube for real now

-Felps shows guaxi around the various rooms of the cube. they watch meiaum’s livestream for a moment but Felps tells guaxi to stop because there’s spoilers since he isn’t with them pfft

-Felps continues showing him around

-Felps tells guaxi the theory that the rooms here weren’t originally inside the cube and were teleported in somehow

-guaxi says he’s staying at Choke’s house now since he got expelled from the city and that they’re friends now \o/

-Felps takes guaxi up to the platform above the cube and tells him about the book that says someone entered the factory. Guaxi, who has entered the factory, starts laughing

-he reads the book out to guaxi properly 

-Felps goes afk for a bit. guaxi leaves pretty much straight away

-he contacts guaxi via walkie talkie and guaxi tells him he’s in the city. He leaves the cube 

-Felps asks what his name is and he tells Felps it’s “Cleopatra” (from what I can tell. Not sure if there’s a different spelling)

-Felps runs into Guh \o/ Guh shows him around his house! when they get to the bedroom Guh tells Felps he can lie down on the bed next to him if he wants and after a bit of hesitation he does

-Felps suggests he should hold an event here and Guh says he’ll plan something and make sure to send Felps an invitation \o/

-as soon as Felps leaves he asks guaxi if he’s okay via walkie talkie

-guaxi responds but is also clearly speaking to Felps while in the middle of a sentence he was already saying. Either because he was trying to respond without the person he’s talking to knowing or on accident

-Felps meets guaxi, Alice and cleber at the front of town hall. Guaxi doesn’t have his mask on, but does have an eyepatch on (apparently he has a bee trapped in there)

-guaxi asks if they take their masks off to sleep but they don’t answer

-Felps asks them to describe their faces perfectly so he can see it in his mind. Cleber’s response to this is :>

-Felps asks if they can paint over/customise the masks and Choke teleports in—quickly followed by Gabe and bagi and Wuant 

-the players all walk away from Alice and Cleber

-“in a nutshell: things are happening”-Bagi

-they’re going to go fish? Which could be a code word for something else pfft

-Felps mentions that they should go get Guh

-gabe has a book with coordinates + a short message that he throws to Felps. (54:30-ish to read the text)

-bagi says she heard someone saw bia and asks who. Wuant says it was him and Choke

-Felps tries to pass on the information that quel can understand what bia says

-bagi tells them that Jota and Bia used to be friends, then Bia was accused of witchcraft 

-Felps advises bagi to talk with quel about bia

-bagi says the guy from the factory must be trying to use this witchcraft too but in a different way

-wuant says it’s probably not the factory owner because he welcomed wuant very nicely

“he told me to leave the factory”-Guaxi “I think it’s because you didn’t speak well to him”-Wuant

-bagi asks what’s in the factory. wuant says all he’s seen is Mr. Arnaldo’s room

-(Felps puts a jar of jam on the ground)

-Arnaldo told wuant that the factory is for cars and that they only manufacture engines

-wuant has a lot of faith that Arnaldo is good, while the others aren’t too sure. Choke says she wants to meet him to see and Wuant says he’ll try and talk to Arnaldo to make it happen

-the others notice the jar of jam

-Guaxinim breaks it “it’s mine now” but gives it back to Felps immediately. Felps places it back where it was

-i think they’re heading to the coordinates. guaxi and Felps race a little

-“we left everyone behind”-Guaxi

-they stop so everyone else can catch up pfft

-they find a little clearing of mud with a chest in the middle. Felps waits before walking onto the mud but guaxi doesn’t. nothing happens though, but a creeper does show up

-I think someone opens the chest? a loud sound happens and it starts flicking between night and day

-and yes the mud does drop out from underneath them pfft. they fall a long way, but it’s into water (bagi hits a block on the side though and gets downed. They manage to pick her up)

-there’s a waystone and what looks like a modded abandoned mineshaft

-i think they’ve been dropped into a dungeon of some kind. Corrupted pillagers start spawning

-Felps is breaking a lot of the spawners and getting spirit orbs \o/

-choke falls into lava and Felps tries + manages to help her (after a lot of scrambling)

-below the mineshaft is a crypt of sorts I believe? still part of the dungeon. Felps loots a little, mostly grabbing iron + a hat bag that gave him a monocle

-Felps has to go afk for a bit

-the others must do something during this because a little cutscene of a green ghost (denix I believe?) plays (Felps is still not back for this pfft)

-Felps meets up with the others easy enough. the ghost is there!! He’s following Gabe around

-Felps is invisible now due to the low light of the cave + his cloak

-they found a pillager in an “arkanya field”—which acts as a forcefield but may have other stuff going on with it? They leave it alone because guaxi is calling for help somewhere else

-the thing he’s fighting is a giant warped fly. He’s downed when they arrive and Felps picks him back up

-Felps “dies” but his totem ability activates and teleports him elsewhere close by instead of him actually dying 

-the fly is killed but I think bagi is saying there’s still two left?

-Felps goes back to see the arkanya field. the pillager in there died presumably from touching the field too much…? It hurts Felps a little everytime he gets too close

-Felps instead leaves to loot a bit more. A head on a very very very long neck attacks him?

-he calls on the walkie talkie for people to come up and see but it’s still chasing him so he starts running down the stairs to where the others are pfft

-this thing is a “murmur” and has 1024 hearts of health (what the vod is named after)

-they kill it \o/ 

-I think Meiaum contacts them via walkie talkie? Very briefly

-It seems like they needed to kill these things to open the arkanya field—As Denix leads them back over to it and the field is gone. there’s a glowy purple chest there. Guaxi opens it and gets a sword I think

-denix via signs tells gabe the sword is for him (guaxi throws it to him but i think someone else magnets it oops)

-Felps opens another hat bag and gets a crown \o/

-there’s a hole where the chest was and they all jump down it

-i think there was a scroll in the chest that has been given to gabe now

-they are struggling to figure out what he has to do oops

-gabe I think places down a waystone so they can all get back to the city hall

-okay never mind. They go to the entrance of the place

-a brief talk, and then they climb up some water to get to the top again. while felps is trying to look in the chest guaxi hits him off pfft (he doesn’t fall far luckily)

-it turns night unnaturally

-felps briefly stops to eat irl while the others walk away. Except bagi who stays with him and says: “be careful with the dangers of the night. Felps? Be careful. it’s very dangerous” 

-they’re all following Denix who is taking them further away from Valigma

-despite how far away they are from Valigma they run into Gomez?

-Felps notices there’s a little place nearby and goes to check it out while the others talk with Gomez. Guaxi goes with him

-they don’t really find anything interesting and go back to the others

-small chat with Gomez then he leaves. Denix is missing during this entire interaction I think, but they find him easy enough after

-he continues leading them somewhere

-they find a little village of sorts and felps takes their iron + bread pfft

-denix takes them to a place similar to where felps + the other people on the boat had to go to before getting to Valigma

-now denix will explain \o/ (1:37:27) basically he says it’s a ritual 

-felps sends the location to Meiaum and tells him to come there. also tries to contact him via walkie talkie

-there’s some kind of little puzzle with books here. It’s a bit hard to describe especially because felps is mostly taking the opportunity to eat pfft. If you want to look at the details go to 1:38:00

-when denix says he chooses gabe Felps says goodbye to him pfft. “It was great to meet you”-F

-denix is getting gabe to use Arkanya I believe?

-felps says goodbye to him again pfft

-it works \o/ they’re put into a cutscene. it just says something in a different alphabet i believe? It looks like it’s made up of faces for about half of the letters

-gabe can use the ability again and summons the cutscene again

-bagi suggests it’s the language no one can understand, and that bira said bia kept speaking in other unknown languages

-according to denix the pact is complete

-denix says they have a connection and choke I believe says gabe’s become a father? Felps congratulates him. Denix calls him pai 

-while the others are talking with Denix guaxi points out there’s water on the ground. felps does a running emote on it, then they go back to paying attention to the conversation 

-felps gets a text from Meiaum saying he’s coming

-I think denix says Gabe can connect three other people to the connection? So get 3 other parents for Denix basically lol

-while they’re talking about all that felps realises guaxi and bagi have left the group and follows after them

-guaxi tells bagi about how he was kicked from the city

-bagi reacts to this information like she has experienced the same thing guaxi did or heard of someone else experiencing it

-Felps is the only one crouched during this conversation 

-felps asks if bagi knows about guaxi going back to the other island and then says that the spirit who spoke to him said they shouldn’t go back there/he shouldn’t leave Guaxinim there

-choke and Wuant show up at the end of the conversation and because Felps’ last word was “lá” he pretends he was singing pfft

-they all start walking away leaving gabe and denix by themselves

-felps asks them to wait because he told meiaum to come here pfft

-Felps goes to look at a nearby village \o/ and releases a spider from a spider egg pfft. bagi goes with him \o/ they loot some chests

-guaxi and wuant show up \o/

-Felps places pancakes he found in a chest on the floor then destroys them and they disappear oops… (cake physics I suppose)

-felps finds soap in a chest and then asks where Guaxi is + calls him dirty pfft

-he finds guaxi and eats the bar of soap in front of him 

“disgusting”-G “It’s delicious!”-F

-they lose each other briefly in their looting then meet up again. I think Felps walks in on guaxi saying his name and tells him to stop (which he does not do pfft)

-felps accidentally sleeps in one of the village beds and resets his spawn

-Felps finds a hunter’s belt (same mod at the cloak + mirror) and puts it on! one of it’s abilities is giving him another slot to carry wearables. unfortunately he needs a pet to use it’s other abilities

-felps goes up the tower and messes with the windmill a little before destroying it when guaxi gets there. they both leave quickly

-he opens up his phone to a message from meiaum—something about a camera?—and resends his location

-this vod continues in the next one \o/

[totisviribus]

Final update: finished the book. What in the fresh hell is this mess, Donna? Wrinkling my fourred on this Thurzdee.

Please no one tell Colleen Hoover about the existence of the first name Cloke.

My disjointed, off-the-cuff, spoiler-filled thoughts about The Secret History (I am both distressed and fascinated by Donna Tartt's mind):

Little Bitch Henry (capital L, capital B, capital H)

The whole book I was like damn they should've pushed Little Bitch Henry off the ledge and then he said "don't worry I'll see myself out." There's nothing more anticlimactic than an unjustified martyr, and I mean that with respect to this twist that I really didn't see coming.

Julian (who I picture as that meme of the little girl grinning in front of a house fire)

I genuinely thought this was going to be a situation where Julian was the one more overtly manipulating the students into doing the satan worshipping, but instead it was more of a subtle approval and interest? Perhaps his character is meant to be mysterious and distant but the potential sharpness of his personality was so carefully set but ultimately felt underutilized. Like what a twist it would have been for everyone see Henry as this mature, cerebral, respected, father-figure type of the group and follow him into the dark, only for them to find out that he has been so easily misguided and persuaded by Julian, whom he was having a romantic/sexual relationship? Their leader is wholly under the influence of a worse, unhinged leader and they must scramble to undo everything they've done, but it's too late? While my imagination may spin this alternative, it is possible that I'm just not grasping the true nature of the influence on the group by Julian or philosophy in general, for that matter.

Not the Incest!

Nearly every single one of my predictions of romantic/sexual relationships was wrong: I was convinced that it would end with Henry and Francis having been together the whole time and Richard realizing he's bisexual after the advances from Francis. I then thought that Richard would be conflicted over liking both of the twins, only for Camilla to reject him and for him to go to Charles as a second choice, then Charles realizing he's second choice and getting pissed and trying to pin Bunny's murder on Richard, then Henry would find out that Francis made passes at Richard and also go on the war path against him, teaming up with Charles. Did I just make that entire alternative plot line up in my mind? Maybe, but it's better than the TWINS HAVING BEEN FUCKING THE WHOLE TIME.

Judy Poovey is to Richard Papen what Clarence Odbody is to George Bailey (?)

I wish the epilogue was Judy Poovey becoming a gossipy, overpriced and under talented hairdresser who smacks her gum when she tells all her clients about "this crazy guy I knew in college, yeah, there was this rumor that he was a murderer, yeah, so crazy. We were good friends though, I gave him a jacket and we did coke and ran errands once. So just the chunky highlights today?"

Charles seems like the kind of guy who would give a homeless man a pie in a graveyard on Christmas Eve, no?

I would have enjoyed a little more understanding as to why the group dresses the way that they do and why they're all into antiques and analog technology. I understand it may be Julian's influence, but it's the 1980's and they all act like they're in a Charles Dickens novel as far as dress and activities. The aesthetic is immaculate, sure, but is it all that charming when there's no real reason for it based in the world of the book?

Frigid Februaries

As someone who grew up in neighboring New Hampshire dreaming of the warm, wide expanse of California I found it so funny to hear Vermont described as the preferable option. I was thinking, Donna Tartt is from the south, her picturesque view of Vermont feels so surface level and must be so if she thinks it's all ivy-covered brick buildings and dusty, quaint book stores. And then I got to the part where Richard nearly freezes to death and realized oh yes, she's definitely spent a February in New England. I also got overly excited when there was a single mention of a New Hampshire city near the Vermont border, Keene.

But what if Bunny wasn't a homophobic racist incel?

I don't typically enjoy books in first person, but at first I was really fascinated to find that I found Richard's narration very unobtrusive and flowing well with the story. The problem was that he became the least interesting character and his perspective of being manipulated by the group started to limit the intrigue. I almost wonder, pending Bunny's character being made a bit more tolerable and morally grey instead of just downright offensive and unlikeable, that he would have been a better narrator from beyond the grave. Like the victim watching Richard be manipulated by Henry and then ultimately framed for his murder. Like the injustice of someone innocent being hurt by Henry in a different way compels him to tell his story as a sort of ghost.

Can you tell I've had 2 cups of coffee in the last 30 minutes?

I just realized all of these "thoughts" are alternative plot lines I would have enjoyed better than the last 300 pages being snow, stress, alcohol, who's having sex????, and Richard revealing with benign superiority that he feels nothing at having helped murder someone. Constructive? No. An enjoyable practice of imagination? Yes.

Tell me again about the ferns, Donna

Donna Tartt is a literary genius but I don't think I enjoy the general tone and pacing of her plots, just as a personal preference. The Goldfinch was an excruciating read because, like The Secret History, she captivates with her description and the absolutely beautiful way she writes and distills feelings and ideas, but that hold becomes more laborious and uncomfortable as the books drone on and meander too slowly. I want to keep soaking up every word of this prose but near the end of both books I was desperate for this prose to lead me someone else, anywhere else. Though I will inevitably pick up her next book and go through the process all over again just to read her description of the changing seasons.

P.S. I would also read a book about Julian having an affair with that cunty French professor. Just saying, Donna.

My new personality is the way Donna Tartt says Thursday like “thurzdee” in the Secret History audiobook.

My Top 10 Underrated Anime Series

1. Welcome to the NHK

Plot: The main protagonist is Tatsuhiro Satō, a university dropout entering his fourth year of unemployment. He leads a reclusive life as a hikikomori, ultimately coming to the conclusion that this happened due to some sort of conspiracy. One day just when his life seems entirely unchanging, he meets Misaki Nakahara, a mysterious girl who claims to be able to cure Tatsuhiro of his hikikomori ways. She presents him with a contract basically outlining that once a day they would meet in the evening in a local park where Misaki would lecture to Tatsuhiro in an effort to rid him of his lifestyle. During these outings, many subjects are discussed, though they almost always pertain in some way to psychology or psychoanalysis. One of their first meetings in fact deals with interpreting Tatsuhiro's recent dreams. Both Tatsuhiro and Misaki, however, have a tendency of over-doing things, such as hiding the truth, especially from each other and themselves. Despite Misaki's offer and pressing attempts at salvation, it is Tatsuhiro's neighbor and high school friend, Kaoru Yamazaki, whom Tatsuhiro often turns to in moments of need and support. Despite his own idiosyncrasies, Yamazaki is one of the more stable characters in the story.

While many may not know about this series, those who do know of its existence can see it’s appeal. This anime shows that some people, like the main character, are shut-in’s due to social anxiety holding them back from living a regular life. The anime deals with subjects such as social anxiety, hiding depression from loved ones, paranoia, and a crippling fear of never being accepted by the outside world. 

Throughout the series, Sato tries to go outside more often and is pushed to do this by a high school girl, Misaki, and his old classmate now neighbor, Kaoru. All the while, Sato meets some people from his past who cause him to go down a different path, such as becoming part of a ponzi scheme or joining a suicide group, because they themselves have problems that he unknowingly becomes a part of. This goes to show that if you have struggles with batting depression or have family problems...seek proper help before bringing others down with you.

2. Tiger & Bunny

Plot: The series takes place in "NC 1978" in a fictional, re-imagined version of New York City called Stern Bild City, where 45 years before, superpowered individuals known as "NEXT" (an acronym standing for Noted Entities with eXtraordinary Talents) started appearing and some of them became superheroes. Each of the city's most famous superheroes work for a sponsor company and their uniforms also contain advertising for real-life companies. Their heroic activity is broadcast on the popular television show "Hero TV", where they accumulate points for each heroic feat accomplished (arresting criminals or saving civilians, for example) and the best ranked hero of the season is crowned "King of Heroes". The story mainly focuses on veteran hero Kotetsu T. Kaburagi, a.k.a. Wild Tiger, who is assigned a new partner: a young man named Barnaby Brooks, Jr. However, Barnaby and Kotetsu have trouble working together, as they have conflicting opinions on how a superhero should act, while at the same time they are trying to crack the mystery of the murder of Barnaby's parents. In addition, the appearance of a homicidal vigilante NEXT named "Lunatic" stirs up the public and makes them question the place of heroes in the city. 

The main heroes, Kotetsu and Barnaby, do not like each other at first...but a strong bond grows between them as they protect the city and help each other from the tragic moments of their pasts. They even help each other with the problems that they face within the series’ current timeline: Kotetsu slowly losing his powers, and Barnaby being manipulated by someone who he thought of like family. 

While not as big as My Hero Academia, this series still has lots of good moments, terrific super heroes, and powerful storylines. Tiger & Bunny is definitely worth watching for anyone who loves superheroes and anime.

3. My Roommate Is A Cat

Plot: Novelist Subaru Mikazuki, who is shy and not good with other people, and Haru, the cat that has been living a severe stray life. This is a story of them suddenly living together and describes the happiness of living together from both point of views.

This series is definitely underrated. My Roommate is a Cat is filled shows how much of an impact a person...or in this case a cat...can have on a person who has lived a life of solitude and books. The main character, Subaru Mikazuki, begins to slowly open up to those around him thanks to the help of a stray cat: Haru. From Haru’s point of view, Subaru is someone whom she desires to protect and take care of, as she fears that he cannot survive without her. Subaru also comes to term with his parents’ deaths and learns to move past his guilt, and realizes that there are many people who love and care for him.

This series shows that it’s ok to open up to the people around you, and that no one is truly alone.

4. And Yet The Town Moves

Plot: Hotori Arashiyama loves mysteries, but there’s one she just can’t solve: why does the solution to one problem inevitably seem to lead to another? Like how when Hotori has to start working at the Seaside Maid Cafe after school to pay off a debt and her friend Toshiko fortunately knows exactly how a Maid Cafe should be run. Which is fortunate since Hotori has no clue. Except that, unfortunately, Toshiko has no interest in working at the cafe—until she discovers that Hotori’s childhood friend Hiroyuki is a regular. Which SEEMS fortunate. Except that Hotori doesn’t know that, while Toshiko likes Hiroyuki, Hiroyuki secretly likes Hotori, while Hotori secretly has a crush on… No, no more spoilers!But if that’s not enough drama, there’s work, angst with a certain math teacher, table tennis between her classmates, her younger brother versus the school’s bad girl… And yet, even though everything seems like it’s going to crash at any moment, somehow Hotori’s life keeps going hilariously forward.

Sure...it doesn’t have sexy and cute maids that most maid-theme anime has... But And Yet The Town Moves is still a series worth watching. The series features cute, slice-of-life storylines filled with antics by the mystery-loving Hotori Arashiyama. Because of her crazy antics and goofy nature, Hotori brings laughter and new experiences to those around her. 

If you want an anime featuring klutzy maids and funny slice of life, then And Yet The Town Moves is definitely the right choice. 

5. Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!

Plot: Midori Asakusa wants to create an anime, but she's too disheartened to make that first step by herself. By pure chance, she meets Tsubame Mizusaki, an up-and-coming socialite secretly dreaming of becoming an animator. Together with Midori's money-loving best friend Sayaka Kanamori, the energetic trio start the "Eizouken" club and slowly work towards making their "greatest world" a reality.

This anime is truly a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! has animation that is truly breathtaking and filled with the imaginations of aspiring animators. Throughout the series, our three protagonists: Midori, Sayaki, Tsubame experience the hardships of running their own studio, all the while dealing with the Student Council and School Board who wish to shut down Eizouken. But no matter how hard they try, there is no stopping these three girls from making anime and running their studio. 

Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! has such brilliant animation, creative storylines, and normal looking characters who viewers can relate to. If your dream is to become an animator, than you certainly learn a lot from this series.

6. Angels of Death

Plot: 13-year old Rachel awakens to find herself trapped in the basement of an abandoned building. Without any memories, or even a clue as to where she could be, she wanders the building, lost and dizzy. In her search, she comes across a man covered in bandages. He introduces himself as Zack and he wields a grim-reaper like sickle.A strange bond is struck between them, strengthened by strange, crazy promises…These two, trapped in this strange building, don’t know why fate has placed them there. But they will work together desperately to find a way out…

Rachel and Zack are quite an unlikely duo...yet their skills and personalities are what complete each other: Rachel is calm and calculating, while Zack is aggressive and strong. But they have something in common: They both suffered their whole lives, became killers, and being killers is what got them trapped in the mysterious building in the first place. Together, they face various serial killers who want to keep them from escaping: A doctor with an eye fetish, a pumpkin-headed child who wants to bury Rachel in his graveyard, a female-prison warden who’s obsessed with punishing ‘sinners’, and a faithless priest whose goal is to test the faith of those who fall victim to the killers within the building. 

Angels of Death is filled with such mystery and psychological thrills. While it is not for the faint of heart...it is definitely for those who wish to find a good psychological thriller to watch.

7. Zombieland Saga

Plot: In the year 2008, high school student Sakura Minamoto is abruptly killed by a truck on the morning she plans to submit an idol application. Ten years later, Sakura, along with six "legendary" girls from various eras of Japan's history, are brought back as zombies by a man named Kotaro Tatsumi, who seeks to revitalize Saga Prefecture by putting together an all-zombie idol group known as Franchouchou.

Unlike most ‘pop idol’ anime series, that feature cute girls whose music can save the world...this one features cute girls who are zombies who were brought back to life to save a city as a pop idol group. While it seems unusual, Zombieland Saga shows the viewers all the things that Saga has to offer...because it basically advertises the entire prefecture. The members of Franchouchou: Sakura, Saki, Ai, Junko, Lily, Yugiri, and Tae...are determined to become a great idol group while keeping their true identities a secret. Thanks to their mysterious manager, Kotaro Tatsumi, they are given a second chance at life and learn more about each other...but they also help each other move on from their deaths and give closure to the loved ones that they had to leave behind. 

If you are looking for a ‘pop idol girl’ anime that is different from others...then Zombieland Saga is definitely a good choice, as it does differ from the usual plots that anime featuring pop idol groups has.

8. Mitsuboshi Colors

Plot: Set in Ueno. The series follows three elementary school girls, Yui, Sat-chan, and Kotoha, who together form an organization known as "Colors". Together, they perform various deeds and errands to protect the peace in their town.

This series is very adorable and is filled with a lot of hilarity. What makes it hilarious, are the crazy antics of the crybaby Yui, the rambunctious Sat-chan, and the dark-humored Kotoha as they try to help others and maintain the peace in the town that they love so much. They recieve help from local shop owner, Pops, who gives them clues to solve, and are often coming into conflict with police officer Saito, who sees them as nothing but trouble while dealing with their childish antics. 

Mitsuboshi Colors really does make you want to go to the real Ueno in Japan, and see all the shops featured within this series.

9. Lovely Muco

Plot: The series depicts the life of the pet dog Muco and his owner Komatsu, who lives in his glass-making workshop in the mountains.

Lovely Muco shows life through the eyes of Muco, a shiba inu who lives in a mountain town with her owner, Komatsu, who works as a glass blower. Muco is an energetic dog who finds everything around her fascinating. Muco loves Komatsu more than anything in the world, who gives her lots of love in return. Muco also interacts with other people such as Komatsu’s long-time friend, Ushikou-san, bar owner Bouda and his energetic daughter Rena. 

Lovely Muco shows the viewer how the world looks through the eyes of a dog, and what goes through their curious minds.

10. Chi’s Sweet Home

Plot: A grey and white kitten with black stripes wanders away from her mother and siblings one day while enjoying a walk outside with her family. Lost in her surroundings, the kitten struggles to find her family and instead is found by a young boy, Youhei, and his mother. They take the kitten home, but, as pets are not allowed in their housing complex, they try to find her a new home. This proves to be difficult, and the family decides to keep the kitten. While being housebroken, the kitten mistakenly answers to "Chi" (as in shi- from shikko, the Japanese word for "urine") and this becomes her name. Chi then lives with her new family, learning about different things and meeting new people and animals.

This series is filled with so much love and cuteness that it could give you diabetes. Chi’s New Home shows viewers how the world looks through the eyes young kitten ‘Chi’, as she grows to love her human family and makes new friends along the way. Chi and her family love each other greatly, and cannot imagine living without each other.

Chi’s Sweet Home shows us just how important family is, and how a new member of one’s family can bring so much love and joy into one’s life.

[mercenarypark]

deltarune, and the potential significance of mew mew kissy cutie 2

thats not a sentence i ever expected to type, either now before i get into this, i want to make something clear: my usual policy for posting spoilers is to wait at least a few days, sometimes up to a week, before i even begin to reblog tagged spoilers. major spoilers will continue to be tagged for months, more minor ones for a few weeks. i usually wait at least a week or so before i post any concrete discussions on the subject at hand. im making some exceptions to my own rules here, mainly because deltarune explicitly asked for an initial 24 hour grace period before people began to discuss spoilers publicly. due to this safety net helping prevent people from getting blindsided by spoilers, im a little more willing to speak now; though i probably still wont reblog anything big for the next week or so.  so. let’s talk about mew mew kissy cutie 2.

so. these are all from a certain part of the endgame, in the mispelled library. there’s a few things i find interesting here: -the fact that this is clearly alphys, but apparently writing a review for a teen zine despite her being an adult, meaning this zine is either fairly old, she’s an adult writing articles for a teen magazine, or... idk -the fact that alphys mentions eating “at home by [her]self with the lights off” when in this same endgame we find out she apparently lives in the trash. literally. she lives in a grafitti’d allyway and drinks milk from a saucer off the ground. -but, most importantly, -alphys DESPISES mew mew kissy cutie 2. she goes on a whole god damned rant about how much she hates it in the “bad opinion zone”, what it did to mew mew’s character arc, and how much it pales in comparison to the original. now, if this were another game from another creator, i might consider this an oversight. but undertale fucking loved to use little details like this to hint at bigger things going on, and so does deltarune. not only that, but throughout the game, there are multiple hints that there are things about this world that are close- so close- to what we know from undertale, but are just a bit... off. one big example is the graveyard, which is still puzzling me. you find graves for four monsters there, and a memorial bench.

These three are very clearly three of the amalgamates. So Cold [Snowdrake’s ma], Endogeny [the Snowdin dog’s family member], and Lemon Bread [Shyren’s sister]. the amalgamates aren’t formed until way after the death of asriel and chara, when alphys becomes royal scientist, and if i remember correctly alphys begins her experiments very soon after they “fall down”, but since im not 100% sure on that i can accept this as being normal for the main game. But the fourth gravestone and the bench are what’s really screwing with me.

Gerson. Gerson comes up a few times in this game- namely through a book he wrote. There’s a signed copy of it at Toriel’s house.  Gerson is also the shopkeep in Waterfall in Undertale, and very, very much alive.

yes, there’s a chance this is a “different” Gerson, maybe a relative of his, but the gravestone is marked with a hammer. The shopkeep Gerson was known as the Hammer of Justice.  How can this be the case? How can he be dead in the prequel and alive in the future?  I have no god damn idea. and that’s all just scratching the surface! there’s so much more that’s different, that can’t all be explained by it being a prequel- asriel is in university when he died as a child. kris is our protagonist, with no mention of chara. asgore and toriel aren’t king and queen. asgore and toriel are divorced with some bad history, but no explanation of what happened- in undertale, they split apart because asgore wanted revenge against humans for the death of his children, and toriel refused to condone that.  undyne isnt part of the royal guard, but is instead a COP[WHY], alphys is a teacher and not a scientist, bratty and catty dislike each other, grillby is nowhere to be seen[but the green fire girl IS seen and she’s the same age as she is in the original undertale] but a diner is run by a purple bunny who knows you from church, there’s a CHURCH, asriel used to sing in a choir at CHURCH, monster kid or someone who looks similar to them wears a crucifix, im sorry im really stuck on this bit because it seems so out of left field, Undertale Has Become Catholic, uhhh anyway as i was saying a lot of the aspects of this feel like a prequel. in fact yes i would say its set way before frisk’s time. but there’s so much thats DIFFERENT from what we know to be true about the original undertale and it’s timeline, and yes, alphys’ differing opinions on mew mew kissy cutie are a HUGE clue thank you for coming to my ted talk, in conclusion idk what im talking about even though i have a huge amount of ideas for what this all could mean and im kinda freaking out on the inside

[askboxers]

Uh, hey boxers, is Handy still with ya? Just wanted to check... Considering all the strange and concerning things that just went on...

To be continued..?
