#wait one more thing to add to the copium

[endiness]

this is such a copium crack theory lol, but like. what if the show uses toussaint in place of kovir. like, they both do kind of have similar qualities in that they're rich nations and that they're neutral when it comes to the war. so, like. what if instead of dijkstra going to kovir for help, it's radovid that goes to toussaint. y'know, at the same time jaskier is there. and then radskier. 🤪

Ons chapter 135 thoughts!!

Spoilers duh (also very long post. Lmk if I should add the read more cut)

-

-

-

-

- KAGAMI I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD IT IN YOU TO GIVE CHESS AND HORN MORE SCREENTIME BUT THANK YOU ANYWAYS

- I am so glad that the whole digestion thing is more symbolical bc... that inital wording really threw me off lmao

- on that note, the immagery of the dead trees with the bodies sticking out of 'em... very creepy and on point, I think it's neat

- they actually adressed Crowley forgetting them! Wowzers (side note she looks hella adorable. My little skrunkly)

- ouugh the dynamic... where was it earlier? It seems so much more casual than during the Nagoya arc (probably just wishful thinking on my part lmao)... idc how give us more of this

- "you two were my first servants", LORE CRUMBS! I guess.

- wait so, they're still becoming demons? But isn't that a form of reincarnation, the thing Ferid is specifically trying to stop? But he's also devouring them... to absorb their power I guess? Since later on Ferid mentions now being more powerful after devouring Crowley (I'll get to that asspull later)

- Also Horn looks a teensy bit weird with the new artstyle but she's still super pretty 🫶 be my wife pls

- So, 16 year old Ferid is inside himself as his 'true self'? I assume that because he got the idea to stop reincarnation when he was 16 and hasn't changed his mind since (never let 16 year olds make big decisions in this world, it only leads to disaster)

- the skrunkle part 2. Also I doubt being digested like that feels good in any way. And with how slow it's supposed to be, yikes.

- I have a theory (aka major amounts of copium): Yuu will bust in and save Crowley because of 'fAmiLy' and also save Chess and Horn since they're family by association

- No one can reach Ferid, eh? And then Corwley's voice reaches him. Kagami and his queerbaiting amirite

- However Ferid then snags Crowley and ig he's on the priority list of getting devoured. Probably bc he's the strongest vampire Ferid has eaten. Cannibalism as a metaphor for love and devotion or whatever, except it's very literal and I doubt there's any love beyond 'u and interesting critter dude' from both sides

- Ok here's my major nitpick with this chapter: KAGAMI STOP BREAKING AND BENDING YOUR OWN FUCKING WORLDBUILDING AND POWER SYTEMS. Until now it was established that a vampires strenght is dependant on 1. their rank (as in who's blood turned them) and 2. their age. But now appearantly Ferid can eat vampires and absorb their strenght? If this was some universal but very difficult thing for any vampire to do, then I wouldn't be this salty. Also one of my favourite things about Ferid as an antagonist was, that power-wise he was on the weaker side. Despite being 'weak' he was still a major threat. He made up for his lack in actual fighting power with smarts and immaculate planning. But now he's another uber-strong genius. C'mon we already had Shikama and Rigr for that department. Bleh.

- now for the Yuu / Rigr and co confrontation, it's fiiiiine. I guess. At least Shikama is still somewhat of a formidable threat. Not to the major characters obviously but yk, it's something.

- rip Basteya. You showed up, slayed for a little and died.

- Kirsten still looks fugly as hell lmao

- so do Ulrich and Roger

- So, who will be faster: Shinoa in absorbing Shikama or Yuu in saving him? My bet is on Yuu purley bc he's supposed to be the main character but ig we'll see next chapter

- KRUL!!! AND THE BAT THING I FORGOT IT'S NAME

- sadly no Ferid / Krul brawl this chapter but yk what makes me excited for next chapter

- my guess is that now Krul is Ferids next target to be chomped. Hopefully she will beat his ass. Like when she first appeared. Ahhh the good old times

- 'A big fan of yours... M'lady Queen' lmao. What's next Ferid, will you put on a Fedora? Bro that last panel ain't it. Fuckin Sebastian of black butler wannabe 💀

Welcome to my sideblog

That has most likely become my main one. But idk how to change main and second one. So yeah. So if you see @phxntomhives-98 it's still me. I just don't know why sometimes I can't switch accounts and sometimes I can.

I will try to keep this blog mostly related to Kuroshitsuji and twst but who knows what I will like next. From memes (mostly repost because I am not that funny) to theories you can find anything here.

I am 25, she/her pronouns, INTP. I would love to get to know more people in the fandoms I am in, but eeeh my social skills are lacking. So feel free to hit my dms, I don't bite I promise. I am trying to make more moots/mutuals pls

Here most thing you can find me posting about/comments etc (under the cut because it became long ops)

Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler

Sebaciel shippers do not interact. I will just block and move on. If you see me liking one post tagged like that it's because I am stupid and I don't always read the tags, pls let me know and I will fix the problem.

Now that the important part is over: I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE NEW SEASON AAH. The Weston College arc is my favourite so I am very happy and it feels so nice to see my children here :3

Malik in "this isn't copium, the fireball was intentional":

Because Malik's life was a series of compounding disasters, the cabinet door stayed shut, shaking violently and spewing thin smoke. When his foot hit the mark on the floor, the cabinet let out a blood-curdling scream.

At the very least, Malik had expected it, and the choked gurgle it morphed into as it slowly faded away. The last noises Kadar had made before the curse had torn his throat out, the ones that played on repeat in his nightmares. He held his wand loosely in a clammy grip and waited.

Something was starting to drip out of the bottom of the cabinet, a thick dark liquid pooling on the floor. It took several moments for Malik to realize it was blood, and the cabinet's door was bowing because of it. He didn't dare look away, but the further the door warped the harder it was getting to breathe.

The door crashed open under the pressure, and a body tumbled out, hitting the floor with a wet, meaty smack. Malik couldn't let his hand shake, couldn't show the nausea coiling in his gut. The phobodendron hadn't shown him Kadar, no. He didn't need to check the corpse's unseeing eyes, had recognized him from the second he saw the tousled brown hair, the moment he saw his face before it had impacted the stone floor. It was Altair's body laying on the floor in front of him, in a pool of his own blood, because why wouldn't he be? Might as well add to the list of people Malik had catastrophically failed. Haven't you done enough, why does everything have to be a fight. There wasn't enough air.

His blood was roaring in his ears when he finally dragged his eyes away from Altair, up into the yawning void in front of him. And there was Kadar, finally, one bloody hand wrapped around where his throat should be. His brother was still upright, looking far too small, shuffling forward and reaching out to where Malik was frozen in place. "Help... why won't you-" Kadar rasped, with vocal chords mangled by magic.

It wasn't really a conscious decision. Between one moment and the next his arm had swung up to point his wand at the grisly display. Dead in the eyes of what had to be the phobodendron, because Kadar's eyes looked wrong in a way he couldn't really place. (Or maybe he was just dead, and Malik was losing his mind.) Malik wasn't even sure if he had said anything, over the deafening sound of his own shaky breathing. A gout of flame engulfed the phobodendron regardless, and it shrieked an unearthly noise as it burned.

Malik wrenched himself away, the professor's voice buzzing in his ears but not registering as words. With a flick of his wrist, his things packed themselves away in his bag before he reached his seat. He snatched it off his chair without breaking stride, heading directly out the classroom door. Malik got two floors away before he had to sit down on the moving staircase and try not to dry heave.

[If you want to see more skies, please consider following! If a post has Malik with an apostrophe more than once it gets hidden from the tags for some reason :/]

I finished BG3 for the second time last night, and I have many spoilery thoughts about it (including PICTURES) so I'll put them under a cut. BG3 spoilers ahead, be warned!

I enjoyed the ending a lot more than my first playthrough (even Karlach notwithstanding, since this was the first time getting her sick Avernus ending). My first time I felt a little left out to dry by how it felt cut-off with no epilogue, but now that I saw that coming I enjoyed it more for what it was, if that makes sense! Though epilogues would still be nice, especially if there the same level of quality as Karlach's Avernus ending (but honestly I'd be fine with a slideshow too)

I have also made my peace with Ruathym becoming a Mindflayer. I don't think he wanted to do it per say, but I do think it suits him, and I'm cautiously optimistic in believing the game on him being an unprecedented mindflayer who may still retain himself and his soul. Plus it adds a really tasty tragic twist to his character, especially being in a romance with Lae'zel. Both Zephyr and Ruathym's romances have the potential for tragedy, but Gale's is seen ahead of time by the characters in the story, making it more satisfying to fight against it, while there's no way any of the characters could anticipate Ruathym having to become a mindflayer to free the prince of his lover and save the world, so it's more satisfying to lean into that dramatic irony. Plus, like, he lived in the Underdark anyway, and I don't think animals would shy away from him? So he'll be okay in the long run, I think. (Copium? Undoubtedly.)

I would really like to see like epilogue slides for the characters. If I wasn't romancing Gale I'd have no idea his plan was to go back to Waterdeep, and I had to look this up but if you romance Halsin he tells you he's going to start an orphanage! Why is that romance-exclusive information?? And like Shadowheart and Astarion are left out to DRY, people have already mentioned it before but there's no way the party would just let Astarion run off like that without following him. And if you let Shadowheart's parents die, there is zero follow up on what her plans are after all this. So idk, I know Larian said they're working on the ending, and I'm looking forward to it.

I would enjoy the ending much much more though if it actually worked. Like, I had to reset the game multiple times bc it just refused to render

Like idk I know it's a big game and my PC isn't the newest, but it's not ancient either and some people are playing this on their laptop for crying out loud!! I shouldn't be dealing with this level of graphical issues. (The same issues were cropping up during Gortash's coronation btw, which is what made pics for my mod such a pain to get). And while I do mod my game, I can't believe the mods I have are enough to cause this 😭

So, that kinda put a damper on things, but the *content* of the ending, I mostly like! It does feel very epic, and I appreciate that it was challenging but not impossibly difficult. It's also very satisfying to see everyone again, almost teared up when Rolan and Barcus Wroot gave their support to me! They were just That One Grumpy Tiefling At The Grove and That One Gnome We Saved From A Windmill, and look at them now!! ahhh that was really good.

And while I think it still needs to be extended, I do actually like the immediate nature of the goodbyes. Wyll and Karlach have to go to Avernus now, Astarion needs to get out of the sun now, and Lae'zel needs to leave for her people, and Ruathym is a Mindflayer now. It gives the ending an appropriately bittersweet note. We won, but we still lost people, even if we may see them again. It all happens so fast because the tadpoles died like *snap* that.

I loved this game, and I like this ending. I'm going to make myself wait before I replay it (bc this one of those games I want to be playing all the time), and when I do I want to see if I can squeeze one more oc or one more romance in there. I don't really do AUs, which include other playthroughs with different protags, and I'm not a huge fan of having a pc for every romance option, but I think between the options that are free (Halsin, Shadowheart, Wyll, Karlach, Astarion,....Minthara(?)) somebody could pair up! Even if it's after the events of the game lol. So I'm kinda tossing around the idea of a Wyll origin playthrough and finding who he'd romance, but idk yet, we'll see 👀

Teyvat Interlude or should I say Fatui Harbringer Teaser (lol) get uploaded at official Youtube channel !

So yeah they're basically reveal all harbringer we really need to know for longest time eventhough some still wearing mask but Dottore basically gonna appear at Sumeru so just Capitano still hidden don't know maybe he's just shy like Kalpas lol

Tbh I thought it's just a normal table until someone pointing

Let's talk a bit about these info and leak so far :

Long long time ago leakers said "not all harbringer are playable" so I think it's safe that we can cross that elf Pulcinella for reasons we all know (lol) tbh I can't imagine hoyo makes him playable as they're known for racking money as much as possible but he's feature in Teyvat prologue... Well let's see someday~

But after thinking again it's fit for him to become our guide at Snezhnaya (well I mean featured chara from Teyvat prologue are our guides right). He sounds like the most good person based on Tartaglia voiceline while everyone at Harbringer are evil to the core(lol), I won't suprise if it's him not Tartaglia the one who guide us to Morepesok (or meeting Tartaglia families) later !

It's moreless 99% true Dottore gonna be playable, it's just we don't know when maybe at or after Sumeru (and we know him a bit from manga). Let's see if he gonna meet Collei there~

I keep looking at comment "Pantalone pretty similar to Baizhu". Well, maybe just similar design like Diona Dori but we can't cross that possibility since it's pretty sure there's a reasons why Baizhu still not playable and even talked about Changsheng lore...

To add the info in Pale Flame lore it stated that Pantalone doesn't have a vision so maybe he's using delusion or something else if he become playable...

Despite her talk, I love Arlecchino design ! She sounds... regal maybe ? But based on Tartaglia voiceline she seems easy to switching side, just my speculation maybe when we're arriving at Snezhnaya some unexpectable harbringer gonna betray Tsaritsa and join us (for unknown reason I think Tartaglia isn't include there, he believe in Tsaritsa more than us thought)

The first time I think when saw Columbina from video thumbail is "don't tell me Sushang exp !". Yeah she's not having zoom scene but she looks like Sushang or Nuwa Fuxi exp ugh I can't difference them

Pierro is some minor players want to be playable characters type (lol) I remember asked my irl friend about what kind of character you want to playable ? Then she said old man with beard and loli male. For her cause I hope he can playable hahaha

This just a speculation but I think Sandrone gonna appear at Fontaine (she really suitable there)

From all harbringer the one I really want to see is Capitano (additionaly Pulcinella but in the end he's just an elf lol) since saw Tartaglia voiceline leak and unfortunately he hide his face (lol). I really hope he's playable even Tartaglia himself acknowledge his strength so won't makes him playable kinda arguable right plus he's Sesshomaru JPN VA sir ! Making him just a NPC pretty laughable right~

The hum-hum part melodies Columbina (I assumed ?) sung really similar to current event Griseo theme song🤣

PS : Hype are good but don't forget most of these hot & beautiful people won't become playable for at least we're entering Fontaine or more (lol) so don't do any copium things like blowing your head because of waiting too long~

[the-resurrection-3d]

well. the zackrays won.

I don’t think I need to add anything to this picture, I mean...

The manga definitely feels more in the direction of “they really ran away together,” given the final shot of bloodless knife and the window smashed inwards -- and obviously I expected that to be the case, given how the manga has treated their relationship. I’m going to assume the question of how Zack got his scythe back is gonna be the same answer as how Ray has his knife, aka bro shut up who even cares. 

wait how tf did he stomp through the bars on the windows. 

also the blood. always the blood. 

I do find it interesting that the manga showed Ray having a very public mental breakdown after being ripped away from Zack, when I distinctly remember being super cautious about having her show “”””too much””” emotion in my own fic. Then again, the manga is definitely a lot more emotive in general, which is one of the things I like about it over the anime. 

(Looked back over the anime’s ending and they had Ray say “please kill me” instead of “I want you to kill me,” which I hate but whatever no one cares but me.) 

The ending has always been weird as fuck for me, but then again, I do quite literally read/watch AOD for the metacomedy I’ve projected onto it rather than the actual “story.” Which makes the suicide reading of the ending all the more jarring, even if I agree with it. Obviously this ^^ above is the ending that fits more with the emotional arc of the characters, but there’s just so much intentionally wrong and unanswered about it that I can’t help but feel like the author is making a sly dig at readers and at Ray for being on copium. There’s something so dark and empty about it, but again, no one on this blog knows what I’m talking about nor cares, lol.)
