[madrone33]

I don't know what to say. Thank you. Thank you Jorge. Thank you everyone who sung, and drew, and edited, and worked on EPIC: The Musical because you have all given me something that I will always - ALWAYS - remember and cherish.

I've been on this journey for over a year now, since Halloween 2023 when WolfyTheWitch posted a random short of Poseidon with the coldest musical lyrics I've ever heard. Ruthlessness brought me to this project, to this fandom. I was in all the events my timezone could reach, posted and messaged and freaked out with fellow fans on discord and tumblr and youtube and tiktok and twitch. I scoured the whole internet to find every piece of music, read the interviews, watched every livestream - most notably of which were the Ocean Crowdcast stream, the Circe Stream Crash of 2024, the Policy Violation Stream, and the IRL Odyssey streams XD

I got my family into it and was able to gush and rant and ramble to them about it; I've made so many friends because of this, and entered so many other fandoms too: MHSG, Udad, PJO, Hadestown, JCS, Lucids, DEH, and so many, many more; I've made essays and graphs and spreadsheets and analysis, discussing and picking apart the themes, characters, music details, motifs, lyrics; My voice has grown leaps and bounds because of how much I sing out loud now, I learned the songs on the piano, I started drawing?? I've written almost 112k words of fanfic for Epic, it's insane (and also not written down so much more LMAO). I even went out of my comfort zone and posted some of my writing and my covers which is CRAZY and nerve wracking and really fun!

Each saga I was left completely stunned and awestruck. Each saga I thought "surely, nothing can top this" and yet EVERY TIME I was blown away again the next time. The writing, the singing, the voice acting, the visuals, the orchestration, the lyrics, everything is just- !!!

Jorge. Miguel. Rivera-Herrans. HOW?? It's so good! It's SO GOOD!! And everyone's voices?? Everyone, just everyone is just talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same- THIS MUSICAL IS PURE ART, A MASTERPIECE OF A LEVEL HITHERTO UNKNOWN, THE LIKES OF WHICH MAY NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN. The fact that I was born in this spot in time, able to experience and appreciate and bask in the light of this glorious concept musical?? I am unfathomably lucky, and I thank the musical gods that it is so.

This past year has been one hell of a journey. I laughed a lot, I wrote lmao while actually only internally laughing a lot, I was tired and comforted and excited and anxious, I cried which I'm almost never able to do with media; Every day I would wake up and immediately check my phone for an upload notification, which is how I caught the Livestream today instead of missing it, so phew; I felt burned out sometimes, but managed to catch it and diversify my activities a bit, sinking into something else for a while before coming back refreshed and even more excited; My entire music wrapped this year was Jorge, Epic cast members' independent music, and greek mythology musicals; I watched the fandom grow even more, all the art, the fanfic, the theories, the memes, the friends.

I still don't think it's fully sunk in yet, but the entire musical is out now. It's done. I'm watched from saga three to nine, from Ocean to Ithaca. I've been here, every day, for a year. This is something that I don't think I'll ever experience again. I am so so thankful.

Thank you, Jorge, for bringing this into the world. What would it be, five and a half years now that he's been creating EPIC? He should be so proud, because I'm sure as hell proud. Odysseus finally made it home. The story is over.

But still, as Jorge said - This not the end of the journey, this is just the end of a chapter; the journey goes on!!

And I'll be here, taking that journey with you.

Queer tormented by ocd plays disco elysium absolutely zooted on edibles, a tragically short story in only seven snapchats

Not my typical content but i had to post it.

I LOVE video games but my OCD makes them very distressing to play sometimes. My playthrough HAS to be perfect or i get extremely distressed - not like i have to do a good job and win, but more like every single playthrough has to be a beautiful work of art from beginning to end, no decisions or time wasted on things that dont serve the STORY and the CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, and CERTAINLY no sidequests left uninvestigated and no bonus content left undiscovered. This has gotten harder in recent years as video games have become more complex and more beautiful, so oftentimes you CANT uncover every single thing AND play a consistent character, because huge swaths of content are often locked behind certain decisions that you CANT MAKE if you're committing to a specific character arc or story. So anyway a while ago I played through Disco Elysium. I LOVED IT. It was FANTASTIC. It was difficult to get through at times because of the ocd but it was so so worth it and helped me practice not engaging in compulsions.

HOWEVER.

I recently decided to play it through AGAIN while absolutely fucking ZOOTED on some edibles i've discovered that make it to where i basically dont fucking have my extremely severe case of ocd for just a few hours. (They are heavenly and i love them). I thought it would be really fun to play the whole game again, but this time i ONLY open up this save when im zooted, and i ONLY have fun, with NO pressure to make the playthrough any kind of art. JUST have FUN playing a VIDEO GAME for the first time in my life. I decided i would ONLY pick the dialogue options i found the most amusing, without doing my typical 20 minutes of overthinking for each dialogue box. I was going goofy mode and i was so excited. It didnt exactly go the way i thought it would though LMAO

This is the result of that tragically short but hilarious playthrough that had me SCREAMING in my living room, told in 7 snapchats

1. Opening the game and noticing something i somehow never noticed during the whole first playthrough around 5:35 pm

2. Creating a character build, 5:38 pm

3. Deciding to have a 1 in all stats except psyche and pour all points into psyche so that i can be psychic cop, failing to realize (because edibles) that there is a low attribute cap at the beginning, so i just accidentally chose to hamstring my attributes and just NOT USE my three points to build my character, 5:40 pm

4. Choosing ONLY Inland Empire for my skill increase, once again failing to realize that i wasnt maxxing out inland empire, i was just failing to use two skill points. Also i was enjoying the music in the skill screen, which is beautiful, but since i was high i thought the 5 minutes i spent just vibing to the music was like 30 minutes so i thought i wasted a bunch of time, 5:48pm. (Ive decided to call this method of accidentally using only one skill/attribute point at the beginning of the game because youre too zooted to play video games well "Harry-Maxxing".)

5. Going through the "trying to wake up" beginning of the game choosing only the funniest dialogue options and seeing dialogue i had never seen before! Fun! But also before i took this pic i referenced the nina chimera FMA meme and my partner hadnt heard of it so i explained it for only like 10 minutes, but again, since i was high, i thought i wasted like 2 hours on that. But it was only 6:16 pm.

6

6. and 7. A glorious 3 minutes later, i decide turning the light on is a great first move (its been a bit since my first playthrough). Again, i am only choosing the funniest dialogue options and not thinking super well, so i just kept saying shit like "BRING IT ON" and "Let it all go" because i thought it was typical harry being overdramatic and weird, and i thought it was hilarious. Turns out i had a heart attack from turning the light on and immediately died. Literally like 5 minutes of actual playtime. Incredible. I love this game.

It wasnt the full playthrough i was hoping for but it was awesome. Rip harry number 2. I definitely recommend harry-maxxing

BEHIND THE MUSE MEME THING

Nobody tagged me, I just saw one and wanted to do it.

Name: Sarah (pronouns are WHATEVER YOU FEEL LIKE CALLING ME, I’m just a freaky sickass little gremlin)

Age: OLD AS FUCK (I was born in the early 1990s)

How old were you when you first started RP-ing: Jeez… eighteen? Nineteen?

Height: Idk like 5’6ish?

OC’s or Canons: OC’s for the most part.

Prefer to play females or males: I’ve mostly played women or vaguely femme genderweird creatures, but I’m not opposed to playing male characters or anything.

Favorite faceclaim to play: I do not choose my RP characters by faceclaim???

Least favorite faceclaim to play: See above

Worst RP experience ever: Okay so one time back when I was first starting out, there was some kid who got VERY attached to me and my character and basically kinda lost it whenever I wrote with anyone else. Early tumblr RP was wild. Like my dude my guy we are strangers on the internet playing make believe, please chill.

Fluff, angst, or smut: ALL

Most overused FC: Idk???

First character you ever made: A terrible Harry Potter OC.

Worst character you ever made: Worst as in “the most poorly written”? See above. Worst as in “this character is an absolute garbage heap of a person”? Gilles. 

Favorite type of plot: iunno, whatever type sounds fun and exciting for me and my RP partner. Depends on a lot. I DO like something with romance, though; I’m shipper trash.

At what time of day is your writing the best?: Probably the morning. I’m a morning person. I like to write while I have my coffee.

Are you anything like your muse?: There are bits and pieces of me in all my characters (except Gilles- fuck that guy). Addie is a baker because I like baking. Alex is a hick because I grew up COUNTRY. Sitri is my fun “gender is dumb I wish I didn’t exist in a stupid flesh prison” outlet. Also I, too, am a Dom vers pervert OOP.

Worst thing about RP (in general or on Tumblr): Trying to match length!!! Sometimes I can write for miles, sometimes I barely manage two sentences. Y’all write such glorious hefty prose, and I struggle to keep up sometimes. (I mostly write poetry aside from this, so blame it on that. Sidenote, who wanna read my weird poems???)

To end on a good note — best thing about RP?: Shamelessly basking in nerdery and making friends with other weirdos!!!

Tagging: ANY OF YOU. ALL OF YOU.

✨️ & 💌

For the ask meme! 💜

Greetings lovely human!!!

✨What’s a fic you’ve posted you wish you could breathe life into again and have people talking about it? (or simply a fic you wish got more credit)

Ha ha... So, I started writing fic with RobStar from Teen Titans. And two+ years ago I did the DickKory/RobStar week and wrote 6 stories out of 7 (ran out of ideas...) and I was honestly super proud of them and wish that that fandom was more alive than it is...

💌share something with us about an up-and-coming work (WIP) that has you excited!

OKAY. I have SOOOOO many WIPs on the go (which, um, y'all probably are aware since I keep whining about it) BUT, I've spent the last week outlining and screaming at my friend about what I've been calling the mustache fic and its sequels. Um. It's a comedic AU of my kick at the darkness series (because I do what I want), where the Gaels decide to do Movemeber during Derek's second year and Casey's first year at Queen's. It leads to... well... a lot of fun, if we're being honest. AND I'M SO EXCITED TO WRITE IT because I think it's gonna be HILARIOUS, I am putting MINIMAL drama in it -- I can't say no drama because this is Derek and Casey and they are very dramatic people -- and I GET TO WRITE THE HOCKEY BROS. I AM SO EXCITED because them and their friendship with Derek and then Casey is SO GLORIOUS and there's honestly something I find very wholesome about male friendships and they're always a blast to write. I don't have any of it written yet because life has kicked my butt a little. BUT. I think it's gonna be the next thing(s) I write, even though I have sooooo many other WIPs to work on... But I am so excited!!

[deputygonebye]

@wexarethewalkingxdead asked: Your portrayal is amazing. I am so excited to write with you. It's been a long time since there was a Shane here on tumblr that really got his character down on a very personal level. And you have done that. I hope you stay around and we can grow our interactions into long-term threads. <3

Ask Meme: How's My Portrayal?

Behind a screen it's hard to see, but please know, my friend, that I am blushing like crazy right now! Your words have left me breathless and I feel so honored. Truly, my heart is all aflutter and doesn't know what to do with itself!

Maybe I'm part of the minority, but to me, Shane's a very misunderstood character. He's a man of many layers, a person who experienced so much within his lifetime. There's more to him than what was given airtime. He was human - for both the good and bad in that. Least for my writing, that's how I try to portray him. He's become very special to me since I've started this RP journey, and I only ever want to do his character justice. It's become quite personal, in a way.

But, really, thank you for your sweet message! It means so much to me that you think so of my writing and portrayal. Coming from you, someone who just GETS so many different muses, who captures their personalities and quirks to PERFECTION, I am left stunned. I can only wish to ever be as wonderful as you! I hope for the same, and am eager to see what glorious troubles my Shane and your muses will get into in the future! Both he and I are excited for it all!

[logane74]

Today is just such a glorious day!!!! I found out before my partner I gave them a lot of Memes and they asked me if something serious was wrong. I did not know that they had no idea. I just said Season 3 and they understood. I think that when they get home We Will Be Screaming Into The Void Together!!!! We Are HUGE GO FANS & we were so worried that Season 3 would not happen!!!! Yes I am terrified at the possibilities but the excitement is so there I can't contain myself!!!!!

man, it kind of bums me out how the majority of the time that kyle's jewishness is a focal point in fan content, it's for a negative reason. if kyle's contemplating the fact that he's jewish, it's because he's being bullied or harassed, because he's feeling insecure about his appearance or self worth, because he's feeling lonely and isolated, because he's having a crisis of faith, etc etc. these are all totally valid themes and character arcs to explore, of course! i think many jews like myself may be able to relate to these themes, thanks to living in a society where antisemitism and other shitty behaviour runs rampant. but i think we're really missing a golden opportunity to explore the complex and compelling positives of being jewish. where's his love for his community? where's his excitement for an upcoming holiday? where's the comfort he might take from prayers? where's his curiosity or knowledge about his family history? where's his passion for debating interpretations of the torah? these are also valid, relatable and in-character directions you could take things!

i know that this trend is probably heavily influenced by the presence of this pattern in the show itself, but it's still a bit sad. or maybe gentiles (non-jews) shy away from celebrating his jewishness because they don't feel confident in commenting on a religious experience that they've never had. to those people, I would ask, why is it you feel comfortable speculating on the hardships of being jewish, but not the joys?

that isn't to say that you're not allowed to write about the former if you're not jewish, of course! regardless of religious background, anyone can empathise with his struggles because, at the end of the day, we're all human, and it's our humanity that unites us. but i'd encourage you to push yourself out of your comfort zone, do a little research and have some fun celebrating and supporting his jewishness once and awhile :)

today I am thinking about... fat tweek! and fat butters! and fat wendy and heidi! maybe throw a lil fat kyle in there too! I'm sick and tired of fatness being equated with immorality when it comes to south park (and the world in general tbh) and it makes me sad that so many people seem afraid of portraying any of the non-cartman characters as plus-sized. 'fat' is a neutral descriptor and not a dirty word, and displaying body diversity amongst the cast is not only realistic, but a wonderful and beautiful thing! so anyway reblog this and put in the tags which character(s) you've always headcanoned to be fat or not skinny :)

Mein Gott, I’ve been working on this after my shifts for like a week XD

Then realized I forgot to draw the clothes… yeahhh

Still! I’m excited bc these lil paintings were fun to do and pretty new to me! Pls zoom in I spent too much time on them

So! Yara’s full first name is actually Yaroslava, which is a Slavic first name that means “fierce and glorious”, derived from the Sun god Yarilo. Yara itself is one of the many nicknames associated w the name, albeit an uncommon one. It is basically synonymous with ire or fury. I am infodumping about words.

Some details of symbols below the cut:

Colour: Green. Life, nature, reassurance, healing/growth, greed.

Flora: Sunflower. Loyalty, strength, honesty, peace. Each is actually thousands of teeny flowers.

Fauna: Manul. Elusive wild cats with a round shape and a glare that could kill. Learn to growl before they open their eyes, start hunting at 4 months. Aggressive, slow, and solitary. Prefer to stay out of sight. Growl when excited, can’t meow but do purr. A group of manuls is called a destruction. Let them be known

Object: a neat looking rock you found on the road. (The you and on the road are key to the experience). No known origin or worth, but it’s hard, cool, heavy, and comforting in your hand. Pictured is serpentinite which is a very cool rock. Well, a group of minerals. They make up the oceanic crust and tectonic plate boundaries.

Song: Zov Krovi by Melnitsa. Ok ok ok I have to translate this because please the parallels between the game and the lyrics are pretty neat. This song and album cover took me the most time hahaha. Translated from Russian:

The Blood’s Calling

Your path,

An autumn wind,

A steppe eagle

Spreads its wings.

Your path,

A tight whip

Sweeps away every footprint with dust.

Your path

On the land’s bones.

Your path

Through the water flows.

Upon springy paws

The beasts walked,

Smelling trouble.

The blood’s calling.

On the dragon’s armour

The sun flares.

The blood’s calling.

How long ago did you realize

That no one returns?

In the great hunt

The day starts.

A sign of the sun dances

On the bowstring.

From the back, silently

Shadow spreads

In the intertwining

Of bristly grasses.

The path flows along the ridges

Of wild mountains,

Of dry feather grass,

And of gray feathers,

Where death burns its bonfire.

You are breathing in the smoke.

The blood’s calling.

Hawk’s vision,

Human eyes.

The blood’s calling.

Trunks burst aflame,

There’s no way back.

The blood’s calling.

And the steel laughs,

Drunk with blood.

Do you know how much they’ve waited for you here?

There was no life,

There was only war.

With light steps you enter death.

Crawls apart, burning, the fabric of being.

Fury is bright, your blade like a torch.

And no underworld will accept you,

But you will be welcomed with a smile

By a warrior god

The blood’s calling.

With a lupine grin,

You’ll laugh in death’s face.

The blood’s calling

You always knew

That you wouldn’t come back.

The blood’s calling

The blood’s calling.

https://youtu.be/Gll0pX00iKE

Emotion: Spite. To live despite it all, out of pure spite. That’s really what it comes down to.

Scent: Pine. Fresh, sharp, and slightly sweet. A bonus point if it’s early morning, your breaths leave your mouth as fleeting mist, and there is frost prickling at your cheeks.

Also! Evil moment! I’m gonna tag @siriskulksnerding @heniareth and @wild-houseplant to do this meme, in either writing, moodboard, or drawing - whichever is more fun!! Here’s the og template!

[glitter-intheair]

Favorite scene overall? Something in the show that made you unexpectedly excited?

Favorite scene uuuuuh that’s a hard question! However I think it might be the one where Stede and Ed talk about Ed opening a restaurant. All that back back and forth was GLORIOUS — “that’s the guy I’m after. who is he?” “That’s me!” and Lucius that was witnessing all of that like the embodiment of the pikachu meme… *chef’s kiss*.

What made me unexpectedly excited? Well it might be basic if I said ALL OF IT? Hehe but idk, I think the plain display of queer romance was what truly shocked me. I knew, when I started the show, that there would be some kind of queerness (I had seen the clip of the foot nudge on twitter beforehand and thought “okay this is actually queer then”) but I had no idea it would be so blatant, you know what I mean? I fully didn’t expect Ed and Stede to kiss, for example. Especially not in S1. And another thing that made me excited — and that I haven’t seen often in the media I’ve consumed — is how they treated Ed’s character at the end. Other people already said this before but I loved how they didn’t shy away from showing Ed’s true feelings and vulnerability after he went back to being Blackbeard. Often, when a character regresses or changes for the worst, you never see what’s behind the façade, you just see what the character want you to see. Here that didn’t happen; we saw Ed going back to his Blackbeard roots and any other show would’ve ended with that, but the final scene was him alone crying while staring at the lighthouse painting to let us see that no, he’s not Blackbeard anymore. He could never go back anymore, he’s just pretending because he’s heartbroken. I am a fan of how this show is showing men’s feelings and vulnerability and how they let men express them. Let men cry, ffs!

What about you? Would love to hear your thoughts! And thank you for the ask 🏴‍☠️

[set-in-stardust]

My friend who isn't in the hermitcraft/mcyt community sent me memes about Scar being in mcc solely because they know I think Scar is precious and can do no wrong ever-

That being said I'm fully expecting him to somehow glitch out a non pvp game and die simply because if anyone can find a way it'll be Scar just accidentally stumbling into it.

Should be great vibes :) Just wanted to join in on the Scar in mcc stuff!

YEAHHH!! he's gonna find some bug somehow and it's gonna be fucking glorious.

i am SO SO SO excited for MCC this time also you should deffo get ur friend to watch with u (if they want) so u can rope them into being a gtws enjoyer with that Scar Experience™

i will officially be busy the 26th, sorry guys. this is gonna be my first live Scar stream and i cannot wait !!!

@quaaacky​  like:

Me like:

I mean... I’ve made my bed so I guess I should lie in it...

...BUT NO! I refuse! If I ever played Phoenix Wright I would yell “OBJECTION!” in a really fun font. But I never have, so instead I’ll say:

Just because I made the Horrible Demon Children (the characters) doesn’t mean that I’m not like:

When they’re frustrating. Or:

When they do something great. Or even:

When I already know what’s going to happen and I just kind of forgot because I have a brain like swiss cheese.

And though, right now, the main character is very:

Doesn’t mean I’m not ALSO like:

So yeah, I may have invented these little idiots, figured out what they were going to do, how they were going to do it, what they were going to say - although, writing dialogue sometimes feels like you’re eavesdropping on someone else’s conversation and you’re just trying to write it all down before they leave and you’re left with nothing (I remember Neil Gaiman said something similar and that made me feel a lot better about this because I started wondering if I was going insane) - so like... okay, yeah, technically you’re right.

But, I think that we should write stories we want to read and so I wrote a slow burn because I wanted to read one, which means I AM ALSO SITTING HERE LIKE:

When these idiots - each who is under the impression that the other is uninterested in dating in general - won’t just be like:

(Which, I was worried if I managed to set that up without it feeling forced - I read a lot of fic and I’ve seen instances of “they both like each other but they don’t know the other person likes them back” where it’s very contrived, but I think I managed to do it in a way that feels natural? Please let me know your thoughts.)

So like, I’m the writer and I’m in charge, but everything is written and set in motion at this point so I’m just sitting here like:

Waiting for the cabana boy to come back with my daiquiri because I’m watching these two fools still not being honest about their feelings and they’re both getting on my nerves.

I may be the writer but:

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

The interpretive dance of memery ends. It was beautiful, glorious. It went through several different fandoms and possibly spans seven decades of TV. the way they were mixed together - stirred and blended as if in a pot of meme gumbo - was both exciting and satisfying. I am covered in sweat, chest heaving as I fight for air. The camera zooms in on me. I pause for a second, confused. But I understand: an Ending Fairy, that’s what the cameraman, the producers, and the audience wants. I give them what they’re waiting for.

(The irony of me taking almost an hour to put this whole thing together when I have a work email I should be writing and sending and I still haven’t done it. I think this is a better use of my time, tbh. At least I’m having fun lol.)

DISNEY'S "GARGOYLES" SEASON 2 QUOTES RP MEME

Why do you read that stuff?

I like a man who brings me weapons.

Nice wake up call.

We won't have to find them. They'll find us.

Revenge, as they say, is a sucker's game.

I'll settle for tearing this jerk IN HALF!

Want to see me use both hands?

That's no way to treat a lady!

That was no lady.

Thanks for saving my bacon before it got fried.

Look, just promise you'll call if there's trouble.

Go ahead, try something!

I'd love to do that again!

That wasn't a tranquilizer dart.

It was loaded with a mutagenic formula!

You don't know anything about her!

Why are you stomping on my friend here?

I was particularly proud of my death scene.

You never let me drive.

The important thing is, you're alive.

Are you sure this is a good idea?

Something's not right here.

Then you leave us no choice!

How are we supposed to find them?

Please, I beg you, be quiet.

This isn't a good idea.

I'm best qualified to go.

My memories are clouded.

Why should I trust you?

If you can't trust me, then trust your heart.

Why do you fight me, my love?

We are destined to be together for all eternity.

I will choose who I love!

Now we'll see what this creature looks like up close.

Why stare at marks on a page when you can rent the video?

Well, I can't read and I don't think I'm missing anything.

Harrier jets! They can take off and land like helicopters. When your life's this exciting, who needs books?

Are you all right?

I had a little trouble.

This beach isn't safe after dark.

Do you need a doctor?

Come on in. I've got a fire going.

There's little I can offer in return, except my thanks.

You understand, I don't get any real pleasure from this. Well you've got courage, beastie. I'll give you that.

Funny, something about your voice made me think you were a soldier, once.

You were there.

I'm old, but I'm not that old.

I'm glad you came back.

I'm afraid I can't stay, but I think I left something on the terrace this morning.

Have you come across a large canister?

The name sounded phony.

I do know him, but he's not a friend!

A magic book?

They're worthless. No magic at all.

The written word is all that stands between memory and oblivion.

Without books as our anchors, we are cast adrift, neither teaching nor learning.

Books are lighthouses erected in the dark sea of time.

Is this how you welcome all your guests?

They have a sense of humor. You have none.

Yeah, I know, you're as relieved I am that everything's back to normal.

Wouldn't it be great to be a shapeshifter?

Well, let's just get this over with, shall we?

How can I be of service, hmm?

Out with it. I haven't got all night.

I'm sure you'll fit right in.

What is it you really want?

This just might be fun after all.

I thought everyone knew this.

Shapeshifters, elves, fairies, you mean they're real?

You mean, you thought I was ugly?

I want you to get rid of the humans. ALL of them.

Does this look like Aladdin's lamp? I have limits, after all.

Humans love a battle hearty.

I'll never get the hang of jumping off rooftops.

I'll always be there to catch you.

Do it, and you win your freedom.

It will be my pleasure. But afterwards, I'm going to need a very long nap.

There. You're free.

The sun, it's glorious! I never thought that it could feel so good.

I'm sorry about the bomb. But it proves how dangerous this case is.

When someone messes with your partner, you're supposed to do something about it.

You still haven't learned that crime doesn't pay.

A trade?

Let's just say, I don't trust you with it.

So, now you know my weakness.

Only you would regard love as a weakness.

A momentary lapse, I assure you.

Halloween! Tonight is the night!

Come on. I've wanted to stroll down a city street with you for a long time.

Marry me.

Are you serious?

We're genetically compatible, highly intelligent, and have the same goals.

You could've been hurt. I should've been with you.

Oh-well, spilt milk. Let's move on to plan B.

Don't listen to him. It's a trick! He couldn't tell the truth if his life depended on it!

Even if what you say is true, why should I help her?

Because you know what it means to lose some you love.

Not a good night for you.

You can't believe anything he says.

If someone like him can love, perhaps there is some hope for this world.

Take this as token of my love.

Upon this I pledge my heart to you forever.

Why do you need all this?

I wanted it, so I took it.

It's so unlike you to attack first.

I simply invited you here to talk.

Our past encounters have not inspired me to trust you.

It's crazy to even consider going!

I'm not interested in reminiscing!

Have you no respect for anything?

Believe me, I know exactly how you feel.

I will never be like you!

I do not wish to hurt you.

I do not wish to be you!

What am I to do?

Do nothing.

Do not worry.

Live in the moment.

Attend the petty angers and jealousies that fill your heart.

Fortify yourself with love and trust.

Fulfill the vows of love you make, for they can surely save you.

Time travel's funny that way.

Get away from me, you sentimental fool.

It's a pretty good likeness.

You know more than you're letting on.

T'was your handiwork.

very life is precious.

Take care not to become what you fight against.

Vengeance begets only a further cycle of more vengeance.

Do you want vengeance or a solution?

This is bigger than either of us has ever faced.

We'll have to work together to stop her.

Truce?

You are the cause of all this.

Humans will learn to respect you.

I would rather they fear me.

What are you doing to help?

That's one way to settle an argument.

I thought I'd rid myself of you long ago

You've forgotten about me.

You're too late. You can't save them. No one can!

I'm not here for them. I'm here for you.

I want it over between us!

I wear this as a reminder of your treachery.

Let's not start that again. You blame me, I blame you. Aren't you tired of talking about it?

I'm not here to talk.

Killing me will gain you nothing but your own death.

Death is never the answer. Life is.

I'm just so tired

Your thirst for vengeance has only created more sorrow.

I offer you one last opportunity for forgiveness and mercy.

I merely offer a sample of what you planned for me.

You have learned nothing.

I will still have my revenge!

What do we do with them?

You come in handy now and then.

I'm quite glad the plan worked.

I'm no hero, I just do my job, and my job for tonight is over.

All I want to do is hit the sack.

Why would you want to hit a sack?

How long was I out?

Even shadows must be true to their shade.

We don't need to wait for sunset.

Is it supposed to hurt that much?

Just get on with it.

Recognize the woman?

She seemed familiar, but I just couldn't place her.

You're getting real good at bypassing alarms

Don't give me credit.

It was too easy!

Maybe misery loves company.

If you're human, then you're subject to human laws.

Either way I win!

I fear no human!

There are forces at war within me.

I will return some day, if I can.

You sound like every human employee I ever fired!

Crush all of them together and you couldn't squeeze one iota of personal integrity from the lot!

No excuses, creature!

Learn to take responsibility for your own actions! And STOP whining!

Oh, I am trembling in my chair.

You believe I am not responsible. Yet I remain your prisoner?

Who said you're not responsible?

It doesn't matter that you were tricked, you know now that your actions inflicted grievous damage. Do you take responsibility for them or not?

Well, what are you going to do?

You seem distracted, having second thoughts?

We'll celebrate over breakfast.

No more excuses. I accept full responsibility for my actions. I was wrong.

Integrity is never easy. It's a daily struggle, a costly struggle.

I know I owe you a great debt for the mistake I made a year ago.

If the text wasn't new to me, it was at least worth revisiting.

All I know is I'm about to be wiped out!

It doesn't have to be that way.

I can break these chains. But only you can get me past the bars.

Automatons know nothing of betrayal or honor. They know only what they're programmed to know.

Only living beings possess the ability to change, and make new choices.

You've given me much to consider.

We are friends.

I'd rather not have your death on my conscience

You'll never reach the bridge!

You have two minutes until impact, one minute before I detonate.

I don't want any innocents hurt!

If it goes down, I'm going down with it.

I knew you wouldn't let me down.

Yes, well, you have that effect on people.

I built this company for you!

I'd probably give it to you, if you'd just stand up and ask me for it honestly!

Asking for it wouldn't be any fun at all.

'Fun' is still more important to you than honor. I can't understand that.

Well, maybe you'll have better luck relating to the next generation.

You should've heard him laugh.

Made my hair stand on end, if I had any.

Surely you know I am not in the habit of playing childish pranks or laughing maniacally in the dark.

Do you even know how to laugh maniacally?

Don't tempt me.

Typical. You do and do and do for them, and what happens? They twist the knife in you!

I think I've created a monster.

Have you ever considered the bounties of genetic engineering?

Or maybe cybernetics is more your style?

Save the horror show for Halloween.

I'm sure tired of taking punishment, and I'd love to be able to give some back

That's the source of the trouble.

I hope you not planning to eat your catch.

Now that I'm in charge, I'm not taking any more of your cracks!

You're barely our species!

I'm in charge, here!

I find him very attractive.

Well, that's sicker than usual.

I'm a partner in a freak show!

I should'a figured it was crazy to stick with this crew

And if you play it smart, there'll be plenty of lettuce for everyone!

I should get my own cable TV show.

Oh, me and my big mouth.

It is the cure! It has to be!

Of course it's the cure! You must trust me!

It was you all along! I trusted you!

You turned me into a monster and I defended you!

I'm sorry it had to turn out this way.

You always overplay your hand

Tell me something' Why me?

You're old, and getting older.

I thought you might even appreciate the opportunity.

Growing old terrifies you, doesn't it?

Nothing terrifies me, because nothing is beyond my ability to change.

True immortality isn't about living forever, man; it's about what you do with the time you have.

When all your scheming's done, what will be your legacy

You're still alive! It's a miracle!

Boy, the city sure is different when it snows.

Not a bad life, all things considered.

There is a cure. There must be!

You can't keep me in here forever!

I'll get out! Do you hear? I'll get out!

About time you came back.

Why did you kidnap me? What do you want of me?

See, it wasn't as hard as you made it sound.

Ah, you wish to be immortal.

If the procedure is successful, I'll release you.

This is just a sculpture's model. The real thing is life sized, and lifelike.

What's in this for you?

Service is its own reward.

I wouldn't even know where to start looking.

You may as well be of some use to me.

Open this cage, and I'll show you how 'useless' I am.

It's hard to top that.

What you seek demands a heavy price.

Death and old age have their price as well. And it's too expensive for me.

Without your sword, you're helpless.

Swordless? Maybe. Helpless? NEVER!

What you choose to do with your life is your own affair, as long as it's got nothing to do with me.

You're just full of surprises.

No, let him go. He's earned it.

I wish it hadn't turned out this way.

I was so close to finding out if the legend was true. Now there's no one to test it on.

Throw down your weapon!

Is this a whole city of fools and lawless ruffians?

I'm the law here, pal!

You are a guardian, like myself.

I will submit to your law.

You are learning.

It will take some time.

Prepare to do battle!

I have no fight with you.

What is this, merit badge test night?

Oh well, better make sure it's an uneven fight.

The weak are to be protected, not exploited.

Aaah, who died and made you king?

If you don't know anything, why were you shooting at us?

Do I really need an excuse to have a good time in my own home?

They say a man's home is his castle, and what fun would a castle be without a dungeon?

If it gets any more saccharine in there, I'm going to put a finger down my throat.

I'd sure like to know how you got here, but I'm programmed to shoot first and ask questions later.

I demand a favor.

Death is always pointless. That is the point.

I demand reparation! My son was cruelly and unfairly taken from me!

Death is the ultimate fairness. Rich and poor, young and old - all are equal in death.

Our planet cannot support so many lives at once.

I apologize for any trouble I caused in my efforts to reclaim it.

It seems I'm out of practice dealing directly with mortals.

It seems I am unaccustomed to dealing with a god

We have all gained rare enlightenment this night

Mmmm, what a peculiar sight.

Now, that's odd.

Do you often go wandering about at night, young lady?

My dear, are you saying you don't remember your own name?

I can't seem to remember anything. I feel lucky I know how to talk.

How did I end up in the middle of the Pacific?

I guess I could use a ride

I thought you looked familiar. We've met before.

Do you know what a scroll is?

Get your claws off me!

You might want to reconsider your request.

We're gonna die!

I will not let anything harm you.

You win. I'll behave.

I cannot believe you pulled the trigger on me.

Just shut up and land.

I just don't remember! I'm not even sure I want to remember!

I understand your words, I simply do not believe them.

You have been long expected.

This trough is filled with acid. In about ten minutes its going to do a very nasty job on that soil carving, not to mention your rugged good looks.

It's my first real stab at clichéd villainy. How am I doing?

How are you doing this? No machine can hold me!

I should sue you for trademark infringement.

I've always considered myself a trickster at heart.

History cannot be changed.

You will not win!

What are you going to do? Bite my kneecaps off?

I know from experience the transforming power of a child's love.

The future is not written yet.

I have a sunny disposition and I'm always kind to animals

I've always respected you as a fellow inmate

He's a fool, but he may be useful.

I can work with that!

Now, now! That's your friends' genetic make-up you're insulting.

You are master now?

I should've known. But why this subterfuge?

Hey, I live for subterfuge!

I do not want escape, I want vengeance!

There's no such thing as "a little" vengeance.

No catches. No tricks. No strings.

So, things have come full circle.

You know how I feel about you, right?

[pepperf]

7, 8, 10, 15, & 33 for the writing ask, please!

Okay!

7) Your favourite ao3 tag.

I was trying to work out what this question meant. I mean, the one I click into every time is the ship tag (currently Diego/Lila). I don't tend to filter by tags otherwise, because people use them so delightfully creatively and I don't want to risk filtering out good stuff. I am trying to think of a tag that I've seen that I loved. I'm currently excited by one that just says "roller disco". XD

8) How slow is a slow burn?

Look, sometimes you have to write an entirely separate 45k fic that doesn't even feature one half of the pairing, and then 25k of build-up once he's shown up again, IT'S JUST HOW THAT WORKS SOMETIMES. This is why I write one-shots in the meanwhile, because otherwise I would starve.

10) Top three favourite fic tropes.

All my favourite tropes are about shipping, because lbr that's mainly why I read fic. The one where one of the pair is hurt and the other is freaking out about it, in all its glorious incarnations, I love that. One where they are secretly in love but think the other one hates them so they cover it up by being a massive dick. And honestly I could just read my ships snuggling in bed and having a nap together forever, it could be pages and pages of 'zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz' and I would be like, yes, this is what I want for them (although it's even better if they wake up in the middle of the night when everything else is still and quiet…). XD

15) What's your favourite plotless fic you have written?

Hey! All my fics have plots, thank you! Or the same lack of plot. XD Okay, currently it's Coming To Town With The Briefcase Blues, which is just Lila freaking out because Diego got a haircut, and is literally just an excuse to say at great length that David Castañeda is very hot and it's a problem.

33) Give your writing a compliment.

I think I come up with very good endings, that often mirror some earlier event or thought, and wrap the story up satisfyingly. I hope!

Thank you!!! This is a good meme.

Black Clover 291 reaction and spoilers

I think Asta and Liebe’s devil union likely isn’t completely because of its unique nature. Since it’s an equal partnership rather than subjugation, they have to strengthen their bond as anyone would have to in any kind of relationship I would think.

Also a bit nervous what all can go down while we wait thirty minutes. Still curious if Luciferio will get to set food in the kingdoms or if some of the Magic Knights will have to travel to the devils’ world to defeat him there. Probably will come down to how willing Tabata is to kill off Vangeance and Yami. I don’t think we can get out of the Spade Arc without facing off against Luciferio directly in some way weather top side or down below at this point.

Dante: I'm impressed you've lasted this long. You're at your limit though... Jack: Shove it. I. Am. Going. To. Slash. You!!!

ilu Jack

Hoping the anime does come back to finish this arc because I’m excited to see what they’d do to flesh out the fight between Dante and Jack a bit leading up to this exchange.

Magna: I’m taking you [Dante] down by myself!!

I am beyond here for this. I am super pumped. Kick his ass, Magna!

Good to know Magna and Zora saw Yami get kidnapped. I was curious how far away they were when it went down.

I love how the shaky lines convey so much in the close up of Magna so stressed out and barely restraining himself from immediately fighting a doomed fight that he bit through his lip enhances the emotion of the panel.

Dante: I have no intention of using any of my magic on garbage like you<. Attack all you like!! Once you're satisfied, get lost!!

Now all I can think about is that meme of that transcription of a 911 call about the stabbed person going “What are you going to do? Stab me?” before getting stabbed. Even more hyped for whatever is about to go down.

I see the chain and all I can think of is Bleach and it’s like is Magna going to rip Dante’s soul out of his body?

Magna apparently bound their magic together and then split it evenly. I love it. This is so fitting. I also love how it’s Dante’s own snobby hubris that’s going to take him out with Magna at the helm.

I know. I know. Golden Week, but still absolutely criminal we have to wait two weeks for this glorious beat down.
