You get isekai’d as the heroine in a romance novel, but instead of dreamy suitors, you’re stuck with a yandere cryptid, a billionaire with no impulse control, and a knight who thinks he's in a Shakespearean tragedy (and more).

Your solution? Commit marriage fraud with your best friend, Ace Trappola, and hope no one asks for a marriage certificate.

18. Gaslight, Gatekeep, Get Married || Deuce Spade

You get isekai’d into a garbage novel as the villain, so you take it as a sign that morality is optional now. So, you do what any reasonable person would: you set the world on fire (metaphorically… mostly) and somehow bag your knight, Deuce Spade in the process.

A little debrief and reset..

Just for those who need it

Theories, theories of the party and JD and Nicola’s “Launch” (lol🤭cringe)

Ok so there have been some chatter going around that it may have been her agency CAA pushing for his attendance, to redirect the focus away from her and JKR heat in the media. It Is plausible and could explain the last minute attendance. But to me it may have still been a combination of the ongoing NDA with Newts and A.

What we know by the receipts that have been sourced by @fiamat12 is that Nic was unwell, and JD was upset at the event. It was not the happy time that the media wants it to be portrayed as.

In has now come to our attention that after the event Jack Rooke close friend of Nic posted an IG story saying he left the party early but could not decide between a “gay bar” or “Italian Restaurant”. Now as a fandom we know Italian restaurants are synonymous with Luke so is Jack trying to say something or is it purely coincidental.

The day after the party Miller Mode, JDs stylist changed his bio. It originally said “stylist to the queers, weirds and beards”. And he was often known to referring to Jake as she and a princess. So why remove it? We all know why right? 😉🏳️‍🌈

Even Jake’s mates including Nic refer to him as diva and one of the girls. So yeah…..

Some people have left the ship I think not because they don’t believe in Lukola, but because of the subfandom insistence, trolling, and they feel a little betrayed because it feels in their faces.

Personally I have had time to breathe, reflect and think. Nic is kind, she cares about others and has a giant heart. If she had a choice I don’t think she would intentionally go out to offend anyone, but she is very strong in her beliefs for charities she supports. The party, a distraction, a tool. No where has she ever said or JD ever identified a relationship. The media and the subfandom has done this for them. And while it would be advantageous to correct the narrative it may be the stubborn nature of Nic being unwilling to do so or she is unable. When the truth comes out she can say that it was the media who labeled Jake as her boyfriend.

I have been a ring Truther from the beginning and nothing will ever make me believe that the Claudagh is worn for anyone else but Luke. It was designed while they were together acting loved up on the WT. And was picked up in Galway on the WT where Luke met her family.

What we saw between Nic and Luke at the WT and again at the SAGs is unmatched to what we have seen we their supposed “partners “. The adjacent narrative that neither has claimed publicly. If they were with adjacents they would not have been that unhinged. 🤭 and you know I am glad they were together because the WT was brilliant.

No matter what tomorrow brings or the next day I know Lukola will be ok. I am anticipating drama at Cannes but a repeat of SAGs for the BAFTAs.

Firmly Sat, forever sailing and Ring Truthers Unite!!

Neris week: headcanons

@nerisweek

• Nesta has cold hands. She loves getting her hands under Eris’s shirt since his body is a live heater. He doesn’t mind, he likes to hold her hands and warm them up, always saying she needs a better coat. And he does buy her a new coat.

• They both are clueless on how to express their love. So they both are like… ‘unfuck you??? I guess???’ at first. Eris’s display of affection is also buying her everything he thinks she will like. Jewelry, dresses, flowers. He can winnow throughout all Prythian, visit every court just to find the best things. Nesta’s one is that she joins Elain’s baking lessons with Nuala and Cerridwen, making him sweets.

• They both were surprised about each other’s sweet tooth. Eris now hires the best bakers in Prythian so Nesta will always have the best chocolate cake. Even though he will always say that anything she bakes will be ten times better. Nesta doesn’t bake often, it’s not her thing, but once in a while she does enjoy doing that for her and Eris.

• Once Eris tried to bake a chocolate cake himself. He was embarrassingly bad at that. He prefers not to recall that evening

• Nesta is clueless about most of fae stuff. So Eris always has something to explain. He explains very patiently and never shames her for lack of knowledge about anything.

• Eris takes her on a tour around Prythian to introduce her to different courts’ cultures. Nesta buys small souvenirs from every court to remember about the visits.

• His hounds LOVE Nesta. From the first time they saw her, they’d been charmed! Eris was kinda perplexed because never once his hounds were THAT friendly to a stranger. Nesta says it was others’ skill issue. She loves to spoil his hounds. Eris grumbles that she makes them too soft for hunting hounds.

• Whenever they argue the hounds are like children of divorce. Because they have to take sides. There are some who vary their side from time to time, and there are some hounds that always go to Nesta and some that always go to Eris. Because sometimes when they argue they sleep separately and hounds go to their beds, keeping them company.

• Whenever they argue too badly, hounds do not like that at all and tug on their clothes, pulling them closer to each other and barking at them as if saying go apologize!!

• They both freak out when Nesta gets pregnant. Not because they don’t want a child. They do. Very much so. But they both are very worried about possible mirroring their abusive parents’ behavior. Nesta reminds Eris he is not his father; Eris reminds Nesta she is not her mother. They both become the most loving parents.

• LoA adores Nesta, they often have tea parties. Eris is offended he never invited to one. They say it’s girls only. Soon it becomes tea party with LoA, Nesta and Elain where LoA always tell some embarrassing stories about Eris and Lucien — they both are mortified.

• Eris learned how to dance because it was a good training for his body, and it was a good skill for political events. He never dislike it, but never truly loved it either. Then he danced with Nesta and started liking dancing more.

• Nesta arranges girls nights very often. Eris always gives her the full manor in her access and leaves for the night to a different estate, not wanting to interrupt her personal time with friends. They both need their time separate from each other, they are also mature enough to talk about it, so they have a schedule.

• Eris likes making schedules. For everything. Nesta says he’s weird, often messing with his physical schedules, writing there something silly or drawing something on them. Eris secretly likes that.

• Eris teaches her how to light the sword with fire. He thinks he might create a monster by that. Because Nesta with silver flamed sword? Unhinged!! The first thing she does is she goes to scare big bats. She giggles evilly when she does.

• Nesta once left her book open on the nightstand. Saying Eris was flabbergasted would be understatement. He asks about that directly and Nesta blushes. He then offers to recreate a few certain scenes that he oh so accidentally already read. Nesta blushes more. Nesta agrees.

• Once in a while they recommend books to each other.

• Nesta gets a cat. And if they both were worried hounds will scare the poor thing off, they didn’t. Instead, the little kitten became their leader. And as she turned into a big cat, the hounds are kinda scared of her. Nesta always laughs about that. Eris says it’s because she and the cat share the same eyes.

• Eris is touch starved at first. He clings to her as much as even possible. Cuddles in bed, hugging her from behind whenever she stands her back to him, holding hands whenever they can.

• Sometimes Feyre asks Nesta to look after Nyx, so the boy stays in their manor. Eris calls him ‘it’ and refuses to even acknowledge that little pest at first. He has constant beef with him for Nesta’s attention bc apparently Nesta is Nyx’s favorite auntie. Eris secretly likes Nyx but will never admit that. Instead he will just silently give the boy the most expensive chocolate he has and shoo him away. Nyx once calls him his favorite uncle in front of everyone. Cassian has heart attack.

“Uh, you can settle in,” Yangyang waved his hands around vaguely. “We’re going to go see if the old man finally keeled over or something.”

“I heard that.” A stern voice resounded from just outside the green room, making the two employees jump and turn around.

A third man had joined you all, focusing an unamused gaze on Yangyang and Kunhang. He was dressed in black from head to toe, a black leather jacket over black button-up shirt and black jewelry glinting from his neck, ears, and knuckles. He wore dark pants and big black work boots too, so you were doubly surprised at how quietly he could move. While you could tell he was older than the rest of you, you definitely wouldn’t call him old. As soon as his sharp eyes flicked over to you from under a curtain of jet-black hair, a jolt of recognition zapped through you, and you grabbed Jisung’s arm at the same time that you bit down on your tongue to avoid making a sound. Your friend’s arm tensed in surprise, but he thankfully stayed quiet too. The newcomer’s gaze went back to his employees as quick as it had flitted over your band.

“Go find something to do,” he shooed them away with one swift hand movement.

“On it!” They replied in unison, shoes squeaking on the concrete floor as they quite literally ran away.

He turned back to you all, taking a few steps in to fully enter the green room. The annoyance drained from his face, and his features became beautifully neutral as he greeted you all politely. “Sorry, I was on a call, it took much longer than I thought it would. If they didn’t already tell you, my assistant manager is out, so it’s a bit hectic around here right now. Normally our weekly act is her responsibility.”

“Is she okay?” Jungwoo asked.

“Yes, she’s fine,” the manager replied. “She’s assisting our usual weekly with their mini-tour. Which is why you all are here, of course. We appreciate you agreeing to fill in for RFE on this temporary basis.”

“Thanks for the opportunity,” Mark replied automatically.

“If you all do well, it might not have to be temporary, hm?” He said, and though his words were kind, his expression didn’t change. You were beginning to taste blood. “I’m Kun, manager of Venue:Hell. Please let me know if you have any issues while you’re here. I’ve delayed your soundcheck already, so I’ll let you go ahead.”

With that, Kun stepped out as briskly as he had arrived, leaving no room for further conversation or introductions.

As soon as he left, Jisung yanked his arm from your grip and looked at you incredulously. “Christ, Y/N, what the fuck—”

“He played the keys in Vizions!” You hissed, anxiously looking over at the hallway as if he might reappear.

“Wait, like that band that only released one album like a decade ago that you’re obsessed with?” Chenle questioned doubtfully. “How can you be sure?”

“She went to like every gig they had,” Mark recounted. “Got us grounded, and then would insist on sneaking out while we were grounded to go to even more. If anybody is gonna recognize a member of that band, it’s her.”

“You should see if he’ll sign your album,” Jungwoo suggested with a grin, nudging you with his elbow.

“Or fuck him,” Chenle deadpanned abruptly, dropping onto the well-used couch, stretching his legs out. “You’re in a band now too, not just a fan.”

“You guys don’t get it, I didn’t just think he was hot—”

“That was definitely part of it,” Mark snorted.

“—He was awesome on the keys! And he wrote all of their songs, and produced their entire album by himself!” You defended yourself. “He made me realize I didn’t just have to do piano recitals and that I could do something like this.”

“Alright, sorry, Y/N,” Chenle said softly. “We were just messin’ with you.”

“Do you think he recognized you? Since you apparently went to so many of their shows?” Jisung asked.

You shook your head. “No way. I never had the courage to talk to them. And that was like ten years ago anyway.”

“I still think you should see if he’ll sign your CD.” Jungwoo patted your shoulder. “It’d probably make his day.”

“I don’t know, clearly the band thing didn’t work out for him,” Chenle added. “He might want to just forget it all.”

You bit the inside of your cheek nervously, then let out a dejected sigh. “Nah, it’s not like I carry the CD with me everywhere…”

Your set at Venue:Hell that night was a hit, if you did say so yourself. It wasn’t nearly as big of a turnout as the Valentine’s event you’d played at, but that was to be expected for a random Thursday night. The crowd was surprisingly engaged, especially since you were careful to incorporate a couple covers of popular songs into your set.

Running off the stage, the five of you immediately tackled each other in a group hug that was all yelling, elbows, sweat, laughing, and chaos.

“One down, three to go!” You cheered, ruffling up Jisung’s matted hair.

“Oh my god, we’re doing this again!” Mark added breathlessly.

“Boo!” You all immediately jeered at the corny joke he made every chance he got. “Tomato! Tomato!”

He laughed loudly as you and Chenle pushed and jostled him, but not enough for him to fully leave your circle. Jungwoo tugged him back in.

“Good job, guys,” Dejun, a stage tech, congratulated you as he passed by, starting to break down some of the equipment on stage.

Your band broke apart to help the staff shut down the stage for the night as other music played over the speakers of the venue and patrons chatted and danced on the floor. A few came up to the stage to talk with you as you worked, interested both in you all as the new weekly, and what had happened to the old weekly. They seemed relieved to hear that Roses for Eyes wasn’t gone for good, and were really enthused in the feedback they had for you.

After putting your equipment that you would be taking home in the green room, you all decided to stay and mingle for a little while more. If this was only going to be for four nights, you wanted to make them count and do as much as you could to get your band’s name out there. You ordered a drink from Sicheng the bartender, at which time you found out that the 50% employee discount applied to you too for the time being. Turning back to the crowd, you strained to spot any of your bandmates among the bodies.

“Hey,” Kun had appeared next to you at the bar, and you jumped out of your skin.

“Fuckin’ Christ, dude,” you coughed, trying to catch your breath. “Can you teleport or something?”

“Sorry.” He seemed more amused than apologetic. “Good set.”

“Thanks.” You took a sip of your drink to avoid looking him in the eye.

“Who did the arrangement for that first cover?”

“I did. Uhm, it obviously wasn’t for a rock band, so I had to do some tweaking…”

He nodded, looking actually impressed. “You compose?”

“Me and Mark for the most part, yeah. The other guys pitch in on songwriting sometimes, too. Chenle’s adlibs are crazy good.”

“Cool. See you next week.” Kun pushed off the bar, disappearing into the crowd.

How To Train Your Dragon, and the trap of a bad faithful adaptation

spoilers for httyd, films and books

i hated httyd 3.

Toothless got reduced to a silly pet, Lightfury has a horrible design (i dare say misogynistic design, but other people have already discussed this), and Grimmel was so uninteresting that i legitimately forgot he was even in the movie a few weeks after watching.

the worst thing? its attempt at being a faithful adaptation.

unfortunately a lot of people don't know about the book series the films are based on. this is quite sad really because unlike the movies, the books increase in quality over time.

the end of the book series follows a sea dragons war on humanity, who have been enslaving dragons for centuries.

yeah so the books are about eugenics, slavery, and genocide.

the sea dragon, known as Furious, was the adoptive brother of Hiccup the Second 100 years ago. Hiccup II was murdered by his father when he found his birth family. its not too relevant to my point, but this father was the king of vikings.

now Furious is the king of dragons and is still angry about what Hiccup II's dad did.

my absolute favourite scene is Hiccup the Third, now a king, trying to stop the war by talking to Furious, hoping that he will understand that it was a singular person who killed Furious's brother, and humanity as a whole is able to improve. Furious cant bring himself to kill Hiccup, and sees his lost brother in him.

Furious has a bit of a freak out, saying its too late for the world to change, or possibly too soon. he concludes that its definitely not the right time.

this one line is why the ending is so good.

the dragons and humans cant coexist, because its the wrong time. just like Furious said, its not the time for coexistance.

the dragons go into hiding.

httyd 3, the film, tried to do this same ending, but absolutely butchered it because it didn't have a reason. it tries to justify it like "oh the vikings dont deserve dragons, so they all live in a cave now".

this completely misses the point.

in the books the dragons left because there was a mutual genocide happening.

in the films its because humans suddenly arent good enough now.

the whole point of the ending in the books is that its set in the past, and what was too soon back then is now the present.

so the whole book series has a message like this: "mistakes change the world. if you are a 'mistake' it means you stand out. this gives you the opportunity to help other 'mistakes'. it may feel like the world is not ready to accept mistakes (i.e, people who survived eugenics and saved the dragons no matter how much equality is viewed as a bad mistake), but now it is. those who are different can help the world accept difference. the time for equality is now".

the films ending is more like: "we are failures at creating equality and look what youve done the dragons (who are supposedly an allegory for various marginalized groups) have all left and the right thing to do was to outcast them all over again because you both have girlfriends now and Toothless cant possibly be a friend to humans while also apparently being in heat or something".

so... httyd 3 is a film about romantic relationships not only being incompatible with unrelated platonic relationships, but also so important that a marginalized demographic is unable to exist with another society because the king (who is literally just a regular guy with unexplained superpowers that ruin tension compared to literal mind controlling scaly mountains) has met a woman 5 minutes ago that he has barely any screen time with.

imagine how unhinged it would be if a real demographic cut off its ties to other cultures because a famous person got married.

this is extremely bizarre especially considering how the books had near zero romance (Hiccup has no love interest throughout the whole series and the focus is on love in general, particularly platonic and familial).

the weird addition of romance to the seperation plotline has no connection to the source material. the writers were just pulling this out their asses like 2017 tumblr arophobes.

the books do such a good job of showing that romantic love is a type of love, just like any other form of love. its there and its important, but its specifically important because it involves people caring about each other, which is also achieved through other forms of love.

its ironic because httyd 1 and 2 do this too. Astrid and Hiccup are important, yes, but Toothless and Hiccup are equally important.

why does the third film even exist? the answer is in Toothless or whatever they did to his character. hes silly but not respectful of Hiccup (he goddamn nearly electrocuted him to death and keeps trying to eat his prosthetic leg), hes clearly in heat or something and suddenly doesnt even give a fuck about the guy he has risked his life for multiple times (i guess hes in an alpha rut. you know how alphas get), and even visually there are signs.... of capitalism.

in the first film Toothless can be adorable. hes a panther, which of course is a cat. httyd 1 doesn't forget that a cat is still a predator, and Toothless can be terrifying.

by httyd 3 his eyes are bigger and closer to the front of his face. its kinda uncanny and is clearly to make him exclusively cute.

what happened to the big cuddly dragon that i was once told looks like hed eat other dragons?

hes no longer a character.

hes a marketing tool.

httyd 3 is a cashgrab. we can see it in Toothless becoming a sidekick. we can see it in the hideous weird beluga thing that is the result of normies trying to imagine a sexy dragon (come on guys, Cloudjumper is right there). we can certainly see it in, and i hate bringing this up, Dragons: The Nine Realms. that show need not exist, its literally just because its a popular franchise, which is actually quite funny because i only know about nine realms because of angry critics in my youtube feed screaming about it in videos that last over 2 hours.

if your spinoff is only known to critics who will gladly insult your show to death and superfans who by the looks of it are the same critics, there is a serious problem.

i knew something was wrong the instant i saw the characters dressed like ugly action figures. it only makes sense for Snotlout, he thinks he has perfect taste. this could have actually been funny if Snotlout was the only person dressed like a low budget furry and everyone was like "why the fuck are you dressed like that", but no, the people (children who will grow up to realise this film sucks ass and will despise it) want rpg video game movies that dont have rpg video games.

question for httyd 3. how did you get the idea to make the main cast furries? could you not hire an actual furry to design their fursuits? because fursuits are not typically that painful to look at and they certainly arent usually made of what appears to be plastic in a film set centuries ago which definitely has the resources to have textures other than plastic. ever heard of scalemail? it looks great in DnD art.

its almost like a dreamworks employee caught wind of the furry fandom but didn't actually look into it and in the process picked up something about horny dragons.

i have legit seen dragon scale inspired armour designs better than that as real life furry cosplay.

no one wants to see Fishlegs looking like some sort of very large beetle. its weird and doesnt match anything else in the movie.

httyd 2 had Hiccup with his own gear, textured leather and a wing suit that looked plausible and immersive. httyd 3 has everyone as weird beetles that could not possibly stay aloft because they are seemly wearing plastic dragon suits.

its like.... almost funny. it could literally be an avengers parody.

i want stories that have consistent themes. i want stories that follow their own rules (remember how httyd 1 and 2 involved actual research on flight mechanics).

and i want some respect for the furry artists that clearly were not involved in the fursuit designs.

[purpdrawsthings]

Welp, won't be posting much due to me being busy with my animation projects so have some doodles I've made since I have loads of them!

First off..

The return of BW!4 =D

I haven't really talked about this AU in a while so I'll probably talk more about it when I have the time so have some silly/serious doodles =3 [mostly 4 tho]

They all are trying to give ideas!.. It's just that they're weird.

Huh? That isn't 4?

I'd recommend to read from here since in the picture it's disorganized =3

"Boopkins.. Why the hell did you send me an 85 page script of the Barbie movie but anime...? ( can I even submit this to the boss? )"

"Oh! It's a new movie idea! I saw you were having problems so I helped! Plus, Bob for 5 and Tari did 29! I did the rest!"

He's trying =]

Anyways, new AU under cut! Very inspired by IGBP hehe.......

TW! : has.. A lot of blood! [Though these are doodles so it's black], kinda fleshy? Oh and also lots of eyes.

Introducing the Eyes and Lies AU!

An AU where instead of 4 and 3 being saved or 4 dropping 3, what if 4 fell down and 3 escaped? [Credit to @dreamteamredstinger for the AU idea from that one post! Do check them out ^^ 💜]

As they hang off the slowly crumbling cliff where the castle once stood, 4 who was extremely tired due to literally being on the computer for 70+ hours, knew he wouldn't have any energy left to save both him and 3.

What to do? Oh what to do? 3's his friend. He even made it clear himself. It would be real selfish for him to escape yet leave 3 down wouldn't it?

Well, there is one more option. Wouldn't sacrificing himself be the best option? He did this. He needs to be held accountable. Right? He SHOULD be responsible. Right.. Right. That's the right thing to do.

And so witht he last remaining bit of strength he had, he threw 3 up all the way just enough for him to get out. 4 starts to fall. He was sure he would get killed by the fall. I mean, no one was there to save him anyways.

Though something special happened. Something saved him. And now he's trapped. Stuck in the cave. Forever...?

Anyways uhhhhhh funny dramatic text amirite hahah.... Idfk I just wrote it on the spot wth.

Anyways time to shoe some doodles since I'm not gonna be working on the intro to this au to get it going just yet!

As you can expect, being stuck in the cave with nobody? will make you go insane! Though he does his best to keep his sanity! It isn't even going to be worth it. Eh? Who the hell put that there?

For clarification he didn't eat no nobody down there! This is just some silly doodles showing ig what would happen if he did really eat someone. Though that wouldn't happen! I'm not that cruel!

Funni.

Anyways yeah I have more doodles of very unhinged 4 but I'll show that later teehee

You're lucky I'm using a black pen 💥

Got LOTS in store for this AU but since the special intro for it isn't even FINISHED yet y'all won't see any progress of the main canon story yet so yeahhhhh sowwy.

But what I WILL say is that there lots of angst!

If any of you have ANY problems with the amount of fleshy stuff in here then do tell me! I think I went a little overboard with it.

Anyways uhhhh thanks for looking at my angst looking 4 doodles.

Transformers More than Meets The Eye Retrospective: Issues 31-33: The Road Not Taken (Patreon Review for Brotoman.EXE)

Hello all you happy autobots and welcome back aboard the lost light as we venture deeper into space and into the awkardness of having a captain who defintely murdered at least one person you know. Megatron: The Blood Soaked Kevin Bacon of Cybertron.

Anyways last time we had a time skip that Rodimus spent moping in his quarters as Megatron was named co captain because Optimus really dosen't have boundries, Prowl continued to see civil rights as a suggestion and is thankfully gone for the foreseable future, Nautica arrived and was the best, Megatron got some much needed therapy, Chromedome did not and saw his dead husband, and the ship done disappeared. Now your all caught up, let's see what those wacky robots are up to now in the second half of this story.

And this second half.. is the better half by a mile. It's why it feels like two diffrent, if consecutive story arcs: While the first part sets up the mystery and the new status quo, it also feels dour and bitter: no one is happy Megatron is there, everything's about that, and thus the cast is all bitter and angry. While there is some great material here: Megatron in therapy, his fight with Whirl, Nautica and Brainstorm being best friends, FINGER TO THE HEAD and Rodimus unhinged behavior and clear sexual tension with megatron when he finally rejoins the story, it's more.. bitter than usual, not helped by the long trial segments and Rodimus being largely abesent. Even in the darkest moments ther'es usually a sense of hope and camraderiy that's largely absent.

We get that sense back as while the first issue is full of tension, i'ts more intresting given the setup and the series goes back to it's strengths: it's strong characters, dialouge and high concepts. The result is one of my faviorite bits of storytelling that I was happy went down just as well this go round. So let's get on board the rodpod under the cut as we have a mystery to solve

We open with the secret origin of the lost light... it was the day before the big announcment and Rodimus, being rodimus, didn't even have a ship yet and sent someone else to take care of it, in this case Drift. Riptide is here too. Commuincating with some Nails via paddycake, Drift easily secures them the ship. All that's left is a name and while Pipes, whose also there, suggests a contest. Sure they could do that...

We're back in the present and Megatron is being grumpy about storytime. Turns out Riptide wasn't saying it for nothing though: Nautica asked, as the Lost Light is far from a normal ship.

As it turns out the Engines are far more advanced, even past Perciptor and Brainstorm levels. I also find it very cute that she calls Perciptor brainstorm levels of brilliant. It's about time someone put respect on the name. He may be a weirdo, but who on this ship isn't a bit weird or has deep baggage to deal with? It's what makes this book great.

Anyways she points out something that the audience and the crew weren't aware of: Quantum Engines shouldn't be able to have made the jump these did... with her help of course. And after some nervous Nautica noises as she's not used to people actually respecting her, complimenting her or attention in general.

So with everyone intrested, Nautica decides to give a brief lecture. Best I can break it down as even in a one panel lecture it's.. a lot, the engines are powered by the pull between what's possible and what's impossible, the reality of the ingines weighed against the heft of the IDEA they can go faster than light. It's a bizzare yet neat idea. Nautica theorizes the reality part one and the Lost Light poofed itself out of existance.

Megatron.. still grumbles: they know a POSSIBLE why, but not what to do now with a small scattered fleet of ships and him stuck in the worst one. I find his disdain of the rod pod both unsuprising and a nice character bit to tuck away for later. I told you the rod pod would be important and while this isn't why, it does play off that intrestingly.

Blaster, whose one of the bots aboard, gets a commuincation from Rodimus> There's a planet they can rodevue on, Ofsted. Ofsted was a lectureworld, a world that taught knowledge. This one focused on Ethics and was presumibly taught by emma frost. Naturally being deeply corrupt the Galactic Council took it over, changed the cirriculum and instituted fees. Cyclonus finds this objectinable as does his new pal Crosscut. Crosscut... I guess has always been here, but hasn't been relevant yet. The Lost Light has a LOT of extras aboard.

Crosscut is one of 20 autobots aboard: Along with him and Cyclonus we have: Megatron,Crosscut, Skids, Gears, Blaster, Getaway, Nautica, Ammo, Huffer ,Chromedome, Swerve, Hoist, NIghtbeat, Riptide, Tailgate, Dipstick, Hound, Ratchet and Highbrow.

I highlighted the main characters... Riptide counts at least for this arc.

And then.. Crosscut disappears and the concept begins. People are gonna start vanishing and our heroes are gonna try and beat the clock. A cool thing the comic does is use a page of everyone on board to keep track of who goes missing.

Bot Count: 19/20

It's then things go sideways as everyone panics a little.. but Tailgate decides to pull a gun on megatron

It does not, though to his credit Megatron doesn't pull a gun back and is more.. amused than anything. Things break down the second Megatron pulls his gun though, not wanting to be locked up for something he did not do.. or period which given his horrifying pass being tortured in prison.. is reasonable. Sadly the autobots aren't and all pull guns.. while they were on his side, Riptide ven admits as much, this is a step too far and it's not long before Cyclonus, being the adult in the room, trying to deescalate things leads to calls to throw them in the brig.. then tailgate. Then uh... (checks chart) Hound pulls a gun on Nautica whose understandably freaked the fuck out. Only it's not her he's aiming at it's RAVAGE!

Bot Count: 20/21

Yup the cat is here. And having always loved Soundwave's casettes, I just love the concept, this cassette beast joining the cast was welcome. Megatron has no idea WHY his old friend is here, and knows damn well no one buys that but it's the truth, advising the cat to play dead for his own sake via sign language. Good for Megatron for being talented in more than just murder, literature and being a grumpus. While he trains a cat, another talent in itself, Cyclonus is pissed Tailgate did a stupid.. while Getaway compliments him for being brave.

While all this was going on though.. .a BUNCH more people disappeared Megatron, Skids, Getaway, Nautica, Swerve, Hoist, NIghtbeat, Riptide, Tailgate Dipstick, Cyclonus, Ratchet and Ravage

12/21

With the party dwinlding Nightbeat tries to solve the mystery and Megatron rather than grousing about things.. actually helps. He points out the power outages before each dissapearnce aren't a concidence but a symptom: whateve'rs going on with the ship, the lights, the rumbhles.. it's connected.

So Nightbeat tries to find a common denominator and asks who was forged and who was constructed cold? While this concept was introduced in Remain in Light, here it gets fleshed out more as we find out there's two generations: first were the ones back on cybertron that lead to all the debate and what not, and the second were MTO's, models forged not for work or what have you but for war, not even having a birth city: just whatever conflict they were made for. It's a truly bleak concept but one I love: that part of the reason so many cybertronians are having trouble moving on.. is they were BUILT in war. They were built for this. It also leads to another intresting train of thought, one we won't fully get into this time, but will be the backbone of our next arc

It's an engaging double edged sword: Megatron's reign of terror murdered billions.. but it also created billions. Removing him could save lives.. but it'd also cause undo genocide by well.. undoing a genocide. Are the lives that would exist worth the ones that would be lost?

Megatron dodges the question, and this will naturally be important later as "This will be important later' could be the series catchphrase, but Ratchet knows whose who.. and construction isn't a related factor.

As Nightbeat bangs his head against the table in frustration the rest give us some more worldbuiding: originally MTO's were given a through course, ten steps from frozen to gun in your hand. They eventually wittled them down as High Command assumed learning about the world wasn't important as "can you shoot people y/n?" We also find out religion is more common in MTO's and that info creep may be the cause..that what could've just been a flash of light becomes conversatoin with the primes over time. Nautica then breaks down, wishing Windblade and Chromia were here as she feels their better than her, and wondering if she'll never see them again. It's a sobering reminder that some of the lost lighters DO have friends outside this ship and how close they are to death. Quite a few bots didn't make it out of season 1 alive and without giving away who, several will not make it out of this one in one piece.

One blip later and we're down to the main cast... and down one of the main cast.

Megatron, Skids, Getaway, Nautica, Swerve, NIghtbeat, Riptide, Tailgate, Ratchet and Ravage

10/21

So things are only getting worse: Magnus arrives in his holomatter avatar.. but has nothing. Their having the same problem and he too is soon gone.

Nightbeat grasps for straws trying to find ANYTHING that matches.. but no go and with that we're down to our final roster for the arc

Megatron, Skids, Getaway, Nautica, NIghtbeat, Riptide, and Ravage

7/21

Nightbeat finally gets his break though as Riptide mentions all the crazy stuff "they" got up to... and is thrown off. Wasn't riptide in the origin story? He was, and fully intended to go aboard, but when investigating the guys they got the ship from found they were shady and got beaten into a coma. As a nice bit of tying up loose ends their also WHY the sparkeater was on board as they were transporting it and left it to be the next owners problem.

So with that , if you hadn't figured it out, we have the common deniomnator: everyone left came onto the lost light AFTER it first took off. Skids was picked up in issue 2, Getaway joined in the season finale, Nightbeat during the crossover, and Megatron, Riptide, Chromia and Ravage all joined when the ship left cybertron the second time.

Megatron gets one final moment of being a dick about things telilng Nightbeat he failed because he failed to figure it out BEFORE everyone was gone... Nightbeat admits the how has to count right... and spoilers it totally does. And the evidence of it is right in front of them as our maginficent seven find.. the lost light... looking beat to shit and surrounded by weird red bands

We begin the next issue with some context for what the heck the creepy red stuff is: it's quantum foam, which sounds nice and sciency but like many a thing with a nice sciency name will kill you if you so much as look at it wrong so our team does their best to manuver inside.

The atmosphere is eerie: the lost light is trashed and while they arrive at swerves.. it dosen't look like a bar, more like a theater. The kinda Nautica would've gone to on caminus had her anxiety not noped her out of there anytime she got within ten feet of the place. Or whatever the transformer equilvent is.

Everyone thinks this is the future.. and i'll just let "thinks" do the heavy lifting for now as Megatron has arrived with Ravage to no one's pleasure, with Megatron pointing out that he can pay for trying to attack them later, right now they need his sniffer. So the team splits up gang... not the wisest move in any derlict spaceship surrounded by space-time blood slowly leaking out of the engines, but Chromia explains they dont' have long before said space-time blood explodes, so they need to find any possible survivors. Chromia's alt mode can go short distances in space so she has night beat get inside her

While the rest find Magnus corpse. There is some dithering for a second as despite Ravage identifying him by smell, Minimus has been dragged out of the armor. Thankfully drift knows about all that and confirms the corpse.. and that it was killed by fusion canon. While Megs protests his innosense, he had that thing smelted, this time.. he actually agrees to be locked up in a show of character. He realizes he really CAN'T prove it's not him and geninely dosen't want to hurt anyone. This is entirely for his own good too: the only two around him are Riptide, whose a dick and Skids, and he has Ravage as backup. No one would know until everyone came back, if they came back.. but he does the right thing anyway because he just dosen't WANT to kill people. He will but for all Megatron's faults, his ego, his coarsness, his lack of empathy... he genuinely WANTS to be better on some level.

So while Megatron gets locked up, Natucia and Nightbeat bond, with Nightbeat filling her in on rewind and his ghost earlier, and just flat out asking if she's single. I mean I would and yes i'm aware she dwarfs me in size, that's part of it. Same goes for Rodimus though just for one night... the dude is even messier than I am. I can't see that ending well.

Chromia admits that no, same with Night beat and the two find something intresting to distract from dwelling on both being single: brainstorm's briefcase.

Back with Megatron, he's busy talking to his cat who quickly scratches him in what has to be the most violent garfield comic ever made using space robots.

Ravage is PISSED though as Megatron abandoned the cause.. and while Megatron points out the decipticon cause isn't him, Ravage disagrees, revealing Galvatron is leading them now and saying outright that if Megatron said the word he'd gut their new glorious leader himself.

Unsuprisingly Ravage was sent by Soundwave, who is also spinning out over this and wanted to make sure this was REALLY megatron and if so have Ravage take him out back and claw him a bit so to speak. Ravage is also the reason those decipticons attacked the trial a test for megatron he failed. What follows.. is the second best scene of the arc and one of my faviorites series wide

It's a great callback to Chaos Theory and the main reason WHY I covered it: it covers the gap between the over the top evil of megatron in the previous runs and the tired layred old man in this one. He was once a better man.. but that quote up top says it all. I also love Ravage's face... his sheer worry as he realizes the man he knew isn't the same... that part of why this all weighs on him now.. is time. There isn't much left, Megatron is aware of this: even if the quest goes on for years, he dosen't HAVE years left. And he's aware of it. He's too tired to be a monster, to keep doing horrible shit and justifying it... he doesn't want to be that person anymore and took a quick cheap route to get there. But as Ravage puts it when megatron answers who he was was dead "dead... or just sleeping?". It's the core of Megatron's character arc: can you really atone or is your worst self always there, watching you?

For now there is no answer, just corpses... but there is at least an id on who the murder victim is as he finds... a brain cog. The others also find corpses thoguh before that Gateway talks with Riptitde, who feels guilty.. as Gateway puts it "the bigger the tragedy the harder it is to process". It's hard to put what Megatron did into sheere scale so it's easy to forget just HOW much harm he's done.

At any rate the corpses not only include Overlord, who should be gone.. but spell out WHO did this and why they need to run the fuck away: the DJD. After the omnious set up of them last time they've crashed into the main plot in a bloody rampage.

Nightbeat is starting to figure it out though: they found a beheaded overlord... who shoudln't BE here to get beheaded as he supposidly died when Rewind sacrified himself. Still the ship's collapsing so they should get going... but Ravage finds one survivor and well.. i'ts worth showing twice

It's a fantastic panel not only showing that Megatron has indeed changed, happy SOMEONE surivived.. but also leaving the reader in shock. Rewind LIVES... and we'll find out why.. right now.

So everyone attends to Rewind whose understandably in shock.. not just due to what he's been through but finding out Skids is alive, Nightbeat is alive (Both were assumed dead), Megatron is an autobot and there are female cybertronians. He isn't a dick about the last part mind, wish I didn't have to clairfy that but .. the times we live in. He just..d idn't know it was a thing and is fine with it. He gives Nightbeat a data slug.

Meanwhile Chromia while talking with Riptide finally figures it out and we get the big twist this has all been leading to: the lost light didn't disappear... it split in half back when the launch happened. See quantum engines work by getting someone from point a to point b using quantum stuff. The point a is always fixed.. but B could be billions.. and the explosion threw it off, so instead of narrowing it down to ONE option.. it became two. Thus two lost lights were born and two perfect copies.

As Nightbeat and Skids found from the data slug, the Alternate Lost Light went through a diffrent set of circumstances: Rung died in the crash and was replaced as bait and Rodimus timing in throwing the spark eater into the engines was off so part of his head got clipped, hence his corpse.

In the aftermath Drift came clean about overlord... and that's what caused the massacre. Someone on board learned about him.. and leaked it to the DJD who came for Overlord.. and then kept going with everyone else. They learned the traitor thing as Tarn's a sadistic bastard , of course he's going to tell them about the betryal before he tortures everyone.

Rewind.. was forced to film the massacre to save Chromedome's life, and it's just.. an awful thing ot think about: recording everyone you care about dying... only for them to make the condition of your partner living that he erases his memory of you.. and jamming his needles into his head when he refuses. We'd seen from their intro how bad the DJD were... but this arc really hammers it in: their monsters, sadists who use their loyalty to megatron as a thin excuse to kill people and satisfy their addictions. Rewind barely survivied falling into the magnus armor and they mercifully left.

He dosen't have time to process this, nor does anyone as the foam's getting tighter.. and what's worse.. it's going to envelop the planet bellow. Priority shifts from "save ourselves" to "save the world" as tends to be for the autobots.... with Megatron holding out. If their not cybertronian why does it matter. Skids counters perfectly: If wearing the badge dosen't alter his behavior.. waht the fuck has any of Megatron's time as an autobot meant. If he can't see all sentient beings as valid... why be here.

So he relents. The Foam is tight but rewind offers to squeeze through as he's tiny. Chromia appricates it, but points out they need tow people to deactivate the quantum drums simeltaniously: if done it should erase the other lost light and thus the paradox. As for why it's only happening now it's simple: the two lost lights got close enough for the universe to stop ignoring the paradox.

Getaway makes a quip about "unless someone can pull a minimus ambus".. and Skids gets an idea; Search Brainstorm's lab as he used a shrink ray that one time. While searching it we iron out how all this works in way si've already descirbed, and our heroes find Brainstorm's corpse... who has a face. I geninely forgot about that.. and the reveal attached

Brainstorm was the traitor, something poor Nautica dosen't take well. They don't have time to process this reveal, and the fact if they restore him THEIR brainstorm is a traitor too. It also begs a question I forgot the answer too: if brainstorm learned about overlord, why didn't he tell the DJD on everyone even if he'd just blown up real good? Or report into the other decipticons present when the crossover happened? Why'd he stay undercover?

The next arc will answer these questions for now we find out that Brainstorm never made the mass displacement gun in this timeline... but Megatron pipes up: he could once transform into a smaller carryable gun and once your spark is primed for mass displacement, it's always primed. He just didn't stand up because as he puts it "when people are lining up for heroic sarcifices, stand at the back of the queue". And while pragmatic ... I get it. If they could get EVERYONE to do it with the gun, then they all could go through the foam. More numbers. There was no sense playing his hand until he had to.

SO Rewind and MEgatron bond with some sycnronized dodging the death goo and Megatron tiptoes around his horrible death. The two make it to the drums.. and Rewind is hit with a relization... if the lost light is restored and the duplicate goes away... won't he go away too? Nautica is horrified to realize this while Megatron asks if he wants to go back. It's a human moment from a very stoic asshole: that if they have to find another way out they will, he won't force someone to make a sacrifce they didn't sign up for.

But rewind.... is fine with it

So it's hours later. The lost light has remateralized, and everyone is slowly coming back. Chromedome arrives and skids has a suprise for him outside.. and we get one of the best sequences in the entire comic. Two entirely silent pages as Chromedome... finds exactly who you hoped out there and the two work thorugh their emotoins... before the ineveitble happens

I wish I could show you the whole thing. It's so damn beautiful. Just two people who thought they'd lost each other finding one another, thorugh time, through space and through pure fate. There will be more to sort out later, to the series credit it dosen't sidestep over the complications here, but for now it just lets us have the catharsis.

So how do I feel about Rewind's return? I'm okay with it. It dosen't dilute the impact of his death as that Rewind.. is gone. He blew up. He truly is dead and the pain Chromedome felt was still very real. And as I hinted at, the series does tackle the fact these aren't the exact versions of Chromedome and Rewind they fell in love with. It could do more with it, but they dont' completely just fall into "this is the same rewind." he went through diffrent stuff and the true horror he went through sets up the DJD as the big bad of this season very well: We saw them plow through some unamed decipticons and the scavengers barely escape.. but now we see they could easily kill everyone we care about with zero effort. They commited a gruseom slaughter that was easy to shake off the first time I read this: it wasn't OUR lost light... but on this run.. I got that these guys easily could've BEEN the crew we know. They aren't that diffrent. The few additions they gathered, first aid, skids, aren't enough to flip the tide. They have more NOW as seen with this issue, but it simply may not be enough. And Megatron himself thinks at first thier coming FOR HIM... and with Brainstorm seemingly a traitor, it's only a matter of time till word gets to them. The clock is ticking and our heroes may not be ready when it runs out.

Speaking of Brainstorm Megatron needs to tell Rodimus there's a decipticon on board.. and offers his decipticon on board a spot, pointing out that Ravage has now seen the worst extreme of the Decepticon cause... does he still want that?

Before our cliffhanger, Nautica has no idea how Rewind survivied. My honest guest is since there was no rewind on the lost light to replace, Rewind 2 stayed. But it dosen't explain another anamoly.. the other briefcase. And after being a mystery all series we finally find out what's inside.. kinda. Brainstorm realizing he's made opens it in Swerves and....

Yup. So that's where we're leaving for a few months. A bunch of the cast may be dead and Brainstorm is free to do whatever the hell he wants while also being a traitor maybe

For now we end this arc.. whic his good as I remembered it: it's an atmospheric tale on a derlict spaceship, perfect for this series with a heartwarming ending.. and a chilling vision of things to come.

Next Time: We travel in time to get answers as to what Brainstorm's endgame is. It isn't pretty. But that's a few months for now, we go back to the power rangers who aren't fairing much better.

@whokilledyanna Because of This post

Because I would type out a whole novel about this Faction, I will only introduce the Free Agent you get after meeting the faction, and the Faction itself.

~Kinstugi Salvage and Reclamation Company~

"Recover, Repair, Repurpose"

Started by the red oni "Uncle" Tsukuru Naosu, the Kintsugi Salvage and Reclamation company was founded about five years before the Hollow Zero disaster. The company specializes in retrieval of vehicles, machinery, and appliances from hollows, and the decontamination of such things.

After the Hollow Zero disaster, Uncle Naosu hired Langyi on, as well as repairing and hiring on a friend of hers, Hulse Brecher, a fellow Intelligent Construct.

Sometime in the past few years, a young woman covered in scars and a tattered uniform of some Defense Force squad began stealing parts and food from the dumpsters and vending machines around the salvage yard. Uncle Naosu managed to earn her trust enough to take her on as an Apprentice, and now she works and lives at the Salvage yard. She's not very personable, but she offered the name "Armurier." (She is one of Anby's sister's. the left side of her head is shaved, with her hair flopped over the right side.)

In the last couple weeks Uncle Naosu has also hired, under Hulse's suggestion, Mankali Aster, a Cow Thiren (And Monna's older sister) and Aaron Dinae (Her human best friend) after Hulse rescued the pair from a Hollow Raider gang that was using them to produce an army of Lumberjacks and Sweepers, among other Raider Constructs.

Now onto the main agent of the post;

~Agent; Langyi~

"While I question my Sister's Choice of Career, I am happy she is in good hands." - Officer Qingyi, Public Security Janus Quarter.

"She was able to get a car I gave up on Running with a Good whack of her wrench! She's a lifesaver!" - Resident of the Faunus Quarter

"She's always able to find time to get me new and refurbished parts for cheap. Kintsugi never lets me down!" - Billy Kid, Cunning Hares Odd-Job Agency.

"Langyi? She's the best Safety Officer I've seen since the first High Rise was built in the old Capital!" - 'Uncle' Tsukuru Naosu, President of the Kintsugi Salvage and Reclamation Co.

Langyi is an A Rank Ether-Anomaly agent, with a fighting style set around leading Basic attacks into Special and EX Special attacks, similar to Anby. She is based on Wizards and Witches, such as Morgan Le Fae and Merlin of Arthurian legend, The Baba Yaga of siberian folklore, Alchemists both fictional and historical, and, most importantly, modern iteration of them, as seen in DnD and Frieren.

She normally just hits things with her wrench, but can also energize the Ether container in her Wrench/Cane to send out Ether Shots, or in the case of her ultimate, an Ether Lightning Storm, like the Towers in those couple of commissions.

Where Qingyi is often subdued and calm, Langyi is Manic, often Cackling and excited to do weird, wild things. She is, in a word, unhinged. She love being unhinged, even when people are weirded out by it, and especially when they get startled by it. She's not afraid to speak her mind, and loudly speak it again if she is ignored. She is Kind, she is sweet, she is ever so slightly crazy.

Her and Fairy would get on like California and Fire.

Her W-Engine, called "Cast-Iron Cauldron," is a unlicensed recreation of the Public Security Combat Automaton W-Engine "Ice-Jade Teapot," Modified for Ether Storage and Excitement, rather than Electrical usage.

I would love to hear thoughts/opinions on her, and any suggestion you all might have.

(Drawn in Krita using Mouse and Keyboard. References used: Seth and Qingyi's offical artwork by Hoyoverse)

She's the only one I have finished Artwork of.

She is close to Qingyi's design, of course by the nature of her being one of Qingyi's sister's, but I feel the cloak, skirt, and hairstyle do enough to differentiate her beyond being another outfit for Qingyi.

Selection Voicelines: “Can’t you let an Old lady rest?” “Doing something Dangerous? I’ll keep my eye on you.” "This sounds like fun~" *Deranged Cackling*

Ultimate Voicelines: “You're not getting past me! *Witchy Cackling*” ("You shall not Pass!") “Don't leave! My Party's Just Begun!" ("Going so soon? I wouldn't Hear of it. Why, My little party's just begun!") "It is Not wise to pick a Fight with me! I've gone mad!" ("Tell me, old friend, when did you abandon wisdom for madness?")

Defeat Voicelines: "I feel like I'm melting ..." "01 ... I'm sorry ..." "Are the others ... safe?"

Chain Attack/Swap Voicelines: “Did you forget about Me~” “Old is Gold~ But you aren’t!” “Your fate is mine to Command~” “I don’t need Alchemy To Change your face!”

Special Swap Lines: (When swapping with Uncle Naosu) “Take a Load Off Sir!” (When swapping with Hulse Brecher) “Hulse, Let Me have a go at them!” (When swapping with Armurier {last name N/A}) “You’re too young for this Stress, Armurier!” (When swapping with Mankali Aster) “Mankali, stop being Bull headed!” (When swapping with Aaton Dinae) "Aaron, let your steps be alight!" Idle Voicelines: “Ah? Can I take a rest too?” “Are you tired? I find Coffee helps young ones like you.” “Hah! Young ones like you tire out so easily~”

Can someone upload a one shot or fan fic here or ao3 please 💀 im bored

Hi anon! Excuse me for not counting your ask as a confession, but your ask got me inspired and I wrote a one shot for ya and all the Danny fans! Its so damn unserious and I did it while I was bored and with nothing to do in the house of my mom's friend. Anywho, I hope y'all enjoy it, especially you anon! ↓

I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH A REDHEAD!!!

(Danny x reader with no pronouns cuz I want everyone to feel included)

It's a night like any other in the summer of 1981. You are in your room listening to the radio while getting ready to go to a bar with your friends. On the radio they were announcing that the band Oingo Boingo, the best band in the universe with the most absurd name ya ever heard, was going to play at the bar you were going to, which you already knew because your friends invited you mostly to see this band.

Anywho, you finished getting ready just in time, finishing your hair with lots and LOTS of volume that if it were a radio it would be heard as far away as China when you heard the distinctive horn of one of your friend's car. You turned off the radio, left your room, said goodbye to your relative of choice, walked out of your house and jumped into your friends' convertible car, and with a cartoonish puff of smoke, drove off to the bar.

Y'all arrived at the place, sat down at a table and ordered your drinks. The band was not yet on stage, which got you thinking. You had heard Oingo Boingo's music before, but you had never seen what the band members looked like, much less the singer. He sounded like he was being chased by someone with gardening shears on all fours. "I'd run too," you thought.

The waiter brought you and your friends your drinks just in time for DA show. Everyone greeted the band with applause as they took their positions and you analyzed each one. The band had a horn section, with two saxophonists and a trumpet player, the size of their instruments matching their heights, with the trumpet player being the shortest. The saxophonist on the left kept smiling and that made him look very friendly, and the saxophonist in the middle was very tall with a face like he wanted to die RIGHT there, taking the place that the other saxophonist should have so that the section would have a good order. It made you want for a moment to throw ya drink at him to make him fall, but you didn't because it would take him at least a day to hit the ground, and you wanted to see them play tonight.

WhatevA, there was nothing to say about the keyboardist, the drummer had a hairstyle that you would have done if you had tried to cut your own hair and in the end opted to shave it off because of how horrible it looked, the bassist had a weird face, and the guitarist had fluffy hair like a sheep's. You wondered what he would look like being shorn like one when suddenly the singer came on stage.

He was a muscular man whose only physical attributes we should point out is that he had red hair and the face of a maniac straight out of the loony toony bin, and a pair of HUUUUUUUUUGE eyes that watched the audience as if each and every one of them were his prey. Oh right and he had boobs. Now it all made sense; he was the one chasing himself with garden shears. Still, you found him attractive, standing on the edge of your chair waiting for them to start playing.

"Heya everyone! We are OingA BoingA and we are very happy to play here tonight!" said the singer over the microphone with an unhinged smile, being on stage for about only 5 minutes and already starting to sweat like pig in slaughterhouse. "Please let us show you the FIRE that we detonated! HIT IT BOYS!!!" he screamed like a goat and the band started playing while this orange haired man pulled a torch from 𝔀𝓱𝓸 𝓴𝓷𝓸𝔀𝓼 𝔀𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮 and a powder from his pockets, powder that you were sure was cocaine because that would explain. everything actually

He put the powder in his mouth and pulled a lighter out of his other pocket with which he lit the torch. FINALLY he was about to do his fire-spitting trick when, looking out at the audience, he saw you in the eyes. It was love at first sight; both of your eyes glowed at the sight of the other, it was an instant connection. With the fire he had on the torch in front of him he couldn't see you well, so he moved it to the side to get a better look at you.

Oh yeah, that's a better view BABY! Was what he thought as he admired the features of your face, your flame hair and your clothes, oh boy! You definitely had clothes on. He was practically drooling like a hungry dog sees a juicy steak, yeah you were SMOOOOOOKING! Maybe a little literally, because of a certain smoky smell coming to Danny's nose. You did have a particular... smell, he thought, until he saw LITERAL smoke in front of him. Wait a minute........

He turned his head to the side with a CRACK, realizing that the smoke was coming from none other than the guitarist's butt. Well, his butt was smoking too for him I guess... Wait it was literally smoking because his butt was on fire from the torch fire.

The scream of the guitarist (whose name is Steve) was such that it can only be described as the scream of a million Chihuahuas. He was running back and forth on stage screaming " MY ASS!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!! MY ASS IS ON FIRE!!!!!!!", or something like that. The band didn't react and were as frozen as mammoths because they're USELESS and instead a staff person helped him by throwing a bucket of ICE COLD water on him.

Well, Steve's butt was no longer on fire but the fire got to his sweet buns, so he was unable to continue playing and was taken in an ambulance to the hospital. In the ambulance he was attended to by a guy with brown hair and glasses, with whom he fell madly in love after he bandaged his scorched butt. "I'm your wifey now." Said Steve like a lovesick doofus hugging the guy as the ambulance sped through the streets as fast as possible to the hospital. Well whateVERT this isn't about him anyway.

Returned to the bar, due to the guitarist being taken to the hospital, the band would not be able to play that night. While the band was arguing outside the bar the dead-faced Saxophonist (whose name is Sluggo because, yeah) was yelling at Danny, the singer. You were watching the whole thing from the window that was conveniently next to your table, so you could hear everything.

"DUMBASS, BECAUSE OF YOU WE WON'T BE ABLE TO PLAY TONIGHT." Sluggo shouted angrily, looking like his eyes were going to pop out of his face from how angry he was. "I PROMISED SAXMUEL JR. I WAS GOING TO PLAY WITH HIM TONIGHT AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO BECAUSE OF YOU." From the rage he felt the saxophonist grabbed the singer and threw him towards your window, Danny in a Ken doll position in the air until he fell on your table. CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The man with rabies was stunned for a few seconds, with birds flying over his head until he shook it off and became aware of his surroundings again. At the sight of you he went into gallant mode and struck a seductive pose, grabbing the mini umbrella from the drink of one of your friends and bringing it to his mouth, holding it between his yellow teeth.

"Hey! That's MINE!" your friend complained, to which Danny got angry and threw him through the already broken window, landing on top of the bassist who gave DA scream. His spine was broken due to your friend's impact but no one cared because it's Kerry and no one gives a single dingle shit about Kerry.

"Anyone else have a problem?!!? hm?!?!?! HM?!!?!?!?!?!" Danny barked looking like a rabid dog, to which the rest of your friends shaked their heads no FULL of fear and on their own jumped out the window, all falling on top of Kerry who screamed with the impact of each one but again no one cared.

The singer's attention returned to you, smiling at you with all his teeth visible, even the ones in the back. "Hey, baby, I saw you on stage and you looked sooo very beautiful. Do you want me to buy you a drink while we get to know each other better?" Danny employed his best attempt at a seductive voice, puffing out his chest in case his voice didn't work to get your attention. Whatever it was that made you agree, you did and you stayed talking for hours on end, drink after drink, until it was time for you to go home.

Your friends were waiting for you in the car, all shaking as they watched you say goodbye to that orange psycho. Danny handed you a piece of paper with some numbers written on it, or something like that. Truth be told this guy didn't have good handwriting. "Call me anytime, baby, and I'll run after you." He said winking at you, you not knowing if what he said was something good or worrying (likely this one), he leaning over to kiss you goodbye, until you smelled his breath. Had he been eating fish tuna from a sewer with cheese from the world's oldest goat? You put a hand over his mouth and told him it was too quick to kiss you goodbye, to which Danny respected that and waved goodbye from afar, going off with the rest of his band to see Steve in the hospital. Oh yeah and to treat Kerry's broken bones or whatever.

You got in the car with your friends and were driven home, saying goodbye to them and going to your house. You went straight to your room to lie down like in a movie, sighing romantically at the thought of that demented redheaded man with putrid breath but a good heart, and boy did you see his heart most of the night. You couldn't wait to see him again, with mints, lots of mints, a toothbrush even and being away from the fire. And from windows. And from Kerry.

Aaaaand that's it! Yeah this was ABSURD and wasn't very Danny x reader at all but I hope y'all liked it in some way! See ya everynyan!!!

[wulfums]

Hihi! Do you have any fan-episode ideas for Rick and Klaus? I love hearing about their dynamics and stuff :0

And also! What sort of relationship does Rick have with The Smiths, Roger, and Rogu?

(Megzscribbleznwordz, this is just my main ^^!)

I DOOOOOOOO

Ill start with his relationships so my ep summarys make more sense hehe also this is going to be long as hell just a heads up

Roger and Rick do NOT get along. For a while its just a genuine hatred of each other but as they get more used to each other and Roger realizes that no, Rick is not going to replace him as the familys Flamboyant Weird Creature, it becomes a more friendly rivalry that they both keep up because its funny and they're too committed to the bit now. Rick is involved with a few of Roger's personas, bcuz its the only way he can get into most craft stores. Rick is banned from some of them and especially Hobby Lobby </3 So he is one of Roger's personas ESA (Hes not happy about it but it works.)

Rick regularly babysits Rogu!! Rogu loves him he's like one of Rogu's fav family members. Rick is just really good with kids in general. Though when he babysits Rogu, he has to deal with Klaus constantly beefing with this 2 year old. Klaus also sometimes gets jealous if hes not the center of Rick's attention so that...doesn't help.

Rick finds Stan offputting and doesn't really get him. Stans just happy this guy actually pays rent! Overall they don't interact a lot, but because Rick knows everyone at the CIA sometimes he is involved with Stan plotlines that involve that.

Francine and Rick get along VERY well! They're friends for sure. Rick is also an honorary member of Mom's Club because he has babysat most of the younger kids in town at LEAST once. He regularly babysits Libby for Greg specifically. Francine does sometimes try to point out guys Rick should get with instead of Klaus because she truly does NOT understand why Rick likes him so much. She also gets wayyyy too nosy and intrusive and Rick and Klaus' personal lives.

Steve likes Rick! Rick doesn't know shit abt science or the intricacies of tech but will listen so Steve can just. Infodump. Rick also does refs for Steve and his friends DnD characters for their games too, for free. Out of everyone in the house Steve could consider a cool uncle, its Rick. Safe to safe to say its another reason Roger hates Rick. Rick is also the one who encourages Steve to finally confess to Snot before they start dating. Meanwhile everyone else is just like "Wait. They weren't dating already?". They also play video games together. The first time Steve learns that Rick isn't super trustworthy though is during Steve's birthday party when EVERYONE is together and having a smash tourney. Rick and Steve are the last two left. Rick and Klaus team up to cheat so Rick can win by causing a distraction that Steve could NOT ignore. Steve is so fucking mad. So he likes Rick but also knows he's just as unhinged as everyone else in this house- he's just much better at hiding it and tamping it down when needed.

Hayley and Jeff are the two family members besides Klaus that Rick is closest to! Especially since him and Jeff found out they're related. Him and Jeff are interesting bcuz they both have incredibly similar life stories. Both of them never really HAD a real family growing up (For different reasons. Rick was disowned when he started presenting as a man which was even less accepted back then! Reminder Rick is like in his mid to late 30's or even early 40's.) and only found actual love and acceptance when meeting their respective s/o and being accepted into the Smith family. So the two of them go out of their way to bond because its really important to both of them. Hayley genuinely loves this, and she has more respect for Klaus seeing how much he genuinely cares for Rick and goes out of his way to become better for him(Not for anyone else though. He still sucks.). She also doesn't see the family resemblance until Klaus is like "Oh no trust me, they're related. Rick would forget his damn head if it wasn't screwed on. But I don't mind- he's very appreciative when I help him out and its nice to be APPRECIATED for once."

AND NOW here's some ep ideas !!

Obviously the special ep where Rick and Klaus get married, which I have written out as a fic. That's a given.

An ep where Rick and Klaus are trying to produce a pilot for an adult animated reboot of Gernot and Strudel and the family is trying to help them but they both SUCK to work with, but it turns out its because theyre both so stressed about this. They keep getting rejected by studios, with a common complaint being that the studio wants some changes, including having Gernot and Strudel NOT be gay. Rick and Klaus based the writing of both of them on themselves and their lives so it SUCKS to be asked to change that. They also reveal the other characters have aspects of the other family members too. So the family, after asking them to BE LESS SHITTY while they're doing this, still helps them. It doesn't get picked up but they have a pilot now and that could go somewhere someday. Greg does a favor for Rick and airs it between new stories which everyone in the family treats as a premiere. Everyone's proud of themselves. Its especially a big deal for Rick because its the first and possibly only time he sees his work on TV like this.

Another more comedy focused ep is when Rick and Klaus go to the aquarium on a date and get mistaken for escaped animals (They think Rick is an otter.) and the aquarium gets locked down so the aquarists can get them back in their enclosures so Rick and Klaus have to escape, mission impossible style.

I also think Rick and Klaus going on double dates with Hayley and Jeff, or Stan and Francine would be common occurances before things go to shit in the ep.

There is also always Ricklaus moments on family vacation eps!

Theres also at least one ep where they have a big argument and break up. And Klaus is like "Well clearly I have to come up with a plan to get him back." and Hayley is like "You could just...talk to him." and Klaus ignores her.

Also in an ep thats a flash forward to a potential future, they have a daughter together! They still live at the Smith house because they figure if they outlive Stan and Francine, that means they just get the house for free and they don't have to pay for one.

Rick in general would have bit parts in most parts after he and Klaus' relationship gets more serious and he becomes accepted into the family too.

SORRY THATS. SO MUCH.

I had a weird dream last night

I had just disembarked from a transatlantic flight and realized, on my way to catch a cab, that my wallet had been stolen.

I was in (London? Europe? Fictional country?) because, through a bizarre set of circumstances and technicalities, I had accidentally ended up in line for the throne. To solve this I had been told to go before some sort of official judicial body and "appeal" my case. The Official Judicial Body set the appointments for you and it was nigh on criminal to miss or be late to these appointments. Down to the wire, no idea where I was going or how to get there with some fictional crown hanging over my head, friends, I was stressed.

While I was slinking around the airport bumming for change and checking the coin slots on all the pay phones a Handsome Stranger appears and pretends to find a wad of cash in a payphone booth and offers it, presumably, after hearing me wail about my strange woes to passing strangers in a bid for charity.

I then find out every single cab has been taken but not to worry there is a rental lot where for a small fee I can borrow a car for all my transportation needs. With little choice I set out to aquire said vehicle only to be left with the last available thing. Unfortunately it is the most American vehicle ever. The size of a hummer (remember those?!), glossy black, and (for some reason) thick bullet proof windows?

Barely able to drive the thing I follow the Handsome Strangers directions and arrive at what, at first glance, appears to be a conglomeration of very fancy buildings arranged in a confusing network. The Handsome Stranger appears again, talking me out of a spot of trouble I'd landed in with a security guard who, mysteriously, took issue with my attempting to assault Very Important Law Buildings with my fuck ass big truck.

While he's dealing with security I have a mooch around (aaaaayyyyyo) and discover a bit more Plot, which is that I am being pressured into this appeal not because I am a foreigner and ill suited to the throne but specifically the appeal is to formally tell the royal court that I am "Unavailable for Royal Cock and or Pussy" because while it is true I am now in line for the throne, more distressingly for the Powers That Be is that this makes me Prime Real Estate for members of the gentry, royal family and it's subsidiaries, etc etc.

The reasons the High Court have for preventing such a union are not wholly petty. If I were to somehow become involved with another in line to the throne, it could in theory, destabilize their country something something blah blah who cares get me out of this nightmare land already. Show we where to sign and I'll be on my merry way.

Mysterious Stranger has somehow sweet talked Guard #1 to let me continue my unhinged rampage through the metropolis of Very Important Law Buildings in my fuck ass big truck. I say cheers, hop in, and continue pedal to the metal to make it to my appeal appointment on time.

When I say down to the wire, I mean I was sweating every minute counting down to my appeal appointment. So it could perhaps be understandable that I drove my fuck ass big truck into the High Court of Fuck All, right through its fancy mahogany doors, across its gleaming marble floors, and only stopping when the doorways got too narrow.

Hopping out of my fuck ass big truck I avoid eye contact with the staff, preparing to defend my unhinged parking job with the observation that there was no parking outside so I had assumed there was some kind of parking garage. Instead of all that I am startled by a slow clap and, fucks sake, it's Mysterious Stranger again. Is he teleporting? Does he also have to make an appeal to keep his dick free of political intrigue? Who cares, I got places to be. Whatever he was gearing up for I cut off by chucking my keys at his face and imploring he find an appropriate parking spot for my fuck ass big truck. I do not linger to see if he is amenable to this request.

In the next room I am, miraculously, first in line and give my name for the announcing guy to announce but when I enter, instead of a normal room with maybe some sort of judicial panel, it's the goddamn royal court. The Monarch (they/them, slay) is trying really hard not laugh while I absorb the realization that I am fully in a nightmare of truly epic proportions. Arranged in tiered seating around and behind The Monarch is the High Court of Law Windbags I had been led to believe was my target audience. Now faced with royalty I can do nothing but frantically look around for some advice before dipping into the most wobbly half curtsey and nearly tipping over onto my face.

Guard #2 jerks his head to the side, indicating I should fuck off now so, gratefully, I plaster myself against the wall. A few more people are introduced and their curtseys and bows are clearly superior which is fine, whatever. It shouldn't matter, it's not like I'm here to make a good impression or anything. If anything the high court would probably prefer I fuck up so royally (ha) that my foreign fanny is no longer in danger of causing mass political upheaval. But of course it matters, who hates feeling foolish and out of her depth? This girl.

The Monarch calls a recess and some ashy windbag in black robes approaches and reminds me I'm here to make my appeal and then they strongly hint I should, like, never show my face around these parts ever again. Got it, Judge Judy, loud and clear. Behind me someone clears their throat and Judge Judy chokes on their tongue so I'm surprised when I turn around and, goddamn, its Mysterious Stranger again.

He's amused and a little tired from apparently running all the way back from wherever he fucked off to with my rental. He returns my keys and sweeps into what can only be described as the most graceful bow in human history. Ugh, I mutter. Judge Judy sounds like she's having some sort of seizure behind me.

It's then a thought occurs to me and for some reason instead of asking Mysterious Stranger or turning around and demanding answers from Judge Judy, I look around and lock eyes with the Monarch who is already staring at me with the most unnerving look of victory on their face.

And then I woke up.

[insane4fandoms]

Hey, friendo! Hope you’ve been doing well!

It’s been a while since our collab, but I think I just realized a cool little detail on both our parts! (By which I mean that I TOTALLY meant to put said detail into my writing. It DEFINITELY wasn’t a nice surprise-coincidence or anything…) 

So, before the story’s climax, ending, and epilogue, you helped me decide to have Ness wear a leather jacket, since duh, he’s an Egopat. Well, that in turn made me decide to describe the leather as cyan because of irl Matt’s blue jacket. 

I was watching some of the FNAF Musical blooper-reels last night. When Matt came onscreen, I finally noticed how, in every single installment, he wears a bright blue T-shirt under Mad’s bear suit. The collar is pretty much always sticking out. Just one more thing for the awesome doppelganger scenario you cooked up, lol. 

And while we’re on the subject of weird parallels…

You always draw Mad with orange eyes. The color orange has plenty of positive symbolism, but it still has just as much negativity. It’s often seen as the color of arrogance, impatience, and wrongful pride. Now, if all that stuff doesn’t sum up Mad’s personality, then I’m not sure what will. 

Now, on another side of the coin: it’s been scientifically proven that the brain associates the colors red and yellow with hunger, since both colors can be symbolic of warmth and energy. Just seeing them can actively increase your appetite. And who exactly has some sinister cravings and was designed with a jacket similar to Matt’s iconic red leather? 

…Yeah, I guess I’m just saying that I could totally see Caliban’s eyes flicking to yellow whenever he gets into his feral mode, only to change back when he’s able to chill out. (Which, now that I think of it, could also reference how, unlike Mad, he's still got a little humanity left despite being so unhinged.) I’ve always loved the concept of unnatural eye colors in human characters. 

Lol, sorry for rambling. Not trying to pressure you into anything since you’re probably busy; I just figured I’d share what I noticed and expand on it a little.

Sorry for seeing this late 😔 trying to bring myself to keep drawing since art block slammed into my gut.

Anyways, I also thought of Ness’s jacket being cyan to correlate with that damn blue shirt always peaking out of Mad’s onesie.

I’m so glad that someone saw Mad’s eye color has a meaning, lol. Other than using orange as a default for Mack as well, Mad’s color was definitely used to symbolize his arrogance and unearned pride. Bro thinks he’s all that, when his many plans crashed and burned without having a backup plan.

Cal and Mad are two sides of the same, rusty, and corroded coin. One has the sliver of copper that still shines brightest when sunlight reflects, and the other barely even shows a spot of light.

Cal still has a sense of humanity, because even with his upbringing and cannibalistic tendencies, he still has family, friends and a partner, something Mad most definitely doesn’t. Cal may still be a deranged killer, but he’s one who still sees the few people (mainly kids) that has nativity and innocence from the shit world. Mad… not so much.

Lmao also imagining those mfs having their eyes shine like cats when you shine a light their faces. Just as scary ngl

The concept of Mad having Ness as his “clone” having what he can’t, happiness, and Mad having Cal as someone who an “equal” to his murderous traits also having what he can’t, family. Two characters who are a parallel to Madpat in so many ways, only connected to what little similarities he grasps onto to justify to want to take away everything, it makes me into a crazy person.

[ambivalentmarvel]

ambi it's talk shop tuesday and my children are starving: pls would you be willing to talk more about "look what you did to a perfectly good final girl. she has anxiety." alms for a poor skelly.

omg!!!!! so basically it’s a fusion of spider verse and mcu lore with comics sprinkled in as needed for flavor but ultimately it was inspired by my desire to write marvel again!!! i’ve been writing for spidey adjacent things for so long that the universe and the prose/style i use to write it feels homey and i missed it : )) and i’ve been chewing on came back wrong/came back too late for it to matter tropes lately so gwen seemed like the obvious choice lmao. also i wanted to kill peter again it’s been too long <333

tldr; gwen has been resurrected by someone and comes to in a random street with a piece of paper with mj’s address and Hazy memories of her life before she, allegedly, died horrifically. this is all very disorienting, particularly when it’s been a decade since she died in the first place, all of her friends are now real adults, and peter/spider-man recently died in a fight with kingpin.

whoever resurrected gwen also tossed in some fun spidery side effects for take two of her life. and there’s also this new black and red spider-man running around the city??? weird. no idea who that could be.

mj is Losing Her Fucking Mind by the way. not every day you as an incredibly talented actor/a-list celebrity are in the thick of grieving the second untimely death of your best friend and then have the one who died first show up.

so much of gwen’s character (even in spider-verse) revolves around another spider-man, and i wanted to see what her character would do if spider-man was gone and gwen stacy was the one left standing to face the villain. she’ll be totally normal about this, probably.

many characters across different marvel universes showing up and all being observed by an Unhinged teenage heroine clinging desperately to the notion that she can still have the regular life she always wanted while also struggling to not literally break everything she touches you know how it is <333 thank you for asking and i hope that cleared Something up??? but also it’s very possible that this has just created more questions in which case sorry. mwah.

[besooyoung]

WHAT IS UP COOL CATS AND MITTENS (that’s a typo but oh well), it is i, nicole, back again to grace your humble dashes with the audacious personality that is moon sooyoung

having a severe case of deja vu? maybe! this is the very same sooyoung that is the sister to dearly departed (from the rp) moon jinyoung. she’s always sat with me as a muse that i never ‘did right’, and she’s got a lot of unfinished business and developing to do— so here she is, again!

and for those in need or want of a sweet little quick read, here’s a tldr:

23, licensed hairdresser & part-time cashier (at a convenience store that sells trauma with every coffee)

currently in seoul, living off convenience store wages, leftover dye packs, and sheer spite

twitch streamer under the handle xo_selene — faceless, voice-only (for now), fps gremlin with surprisingly soft playlists

canon sibling to jinyoung (yes, that jinyoung), who left the idol industry and is now in the military, love that for him

they talk semi-regularly. it’s complicated but not catastrophic (yet)

she auditioned once on a whim and now she’s here with real scissors and real feelings

tired, talented, quietly unhinged. probably gave someone a breakup haircut while crying and said “it’s symbolic”

dreams a lot. lies a little. still hasn’t figured out how to stop wanting more.

plots? relationships? lore?? hi yes i’m always open to:

coworkers (past or present — salon, convenience store, even customer service trauma bonding)

twitch friends, mod buddies, gaming rivals, people who accidentally thirst followed her without realizing she was faceless

exes (serious or embarrassing or both — she makes bad decisions but good pancakes)

fellow failed auditionees, rivals, or people who watched her cry in the stairwell once and never brought it up

ride-or-dies. soft crushes. enemies-to-soft-lunches. people who remember her old playlist names.

weird found family ties. younger muses she unofficially adopts. older ones who make her feel twelve again.

anyone she can dance badly with at 2am or accidentally trauma dump on during a haircut.

just message me if you want to make something messy and good 🫶🏼 you can always find me in ims or discord @ lqdoyeon! orrrrr if you’re the more reserved type, liking this will do, and i’ll find you

[britts-galaxy-brain]

Hi, I'm someone from the discord server (don't hold a grudge but left for personal reasons a while back) and I'm curious what the situation with milena is? I haven't been keeping up with any of this but I got back into the p&z stuff because of lux's super comprehensive and helpful stream. Are you guys okay? Did you and some of poppy's victims have some sort of falling out?

I hope everything is alright, I followed transpersian and I always thought they were kind in the server, so I was shocked to see u guys having beef ig. Sometimes I do kinda worry about courtney because she is very blunt and can come off as combative it seems but it's her blog and i just hope everyone is alright and taking care of themselves :(

Hey it's all good.

In a nutshell, Milena has fully gone off the deep end and she's convinced herself that it's everyone else with the problem.

She's lied to people, she went back to talk to Poppy against everyone else practically begging her not to do that given her mental state at the time, she only left again because Poppy called her out for being an unhinged, obsessed liar, it's been revealed that she's the reason Anniegal (self-identified MAP) is in Poppy's discord and Milena has been helping financially support her..

On top of all that, Milena had someone we thought was a friend spying for her in Courtney's discord after people started venting about her weird behavior. Such as sending people cryptic dms (people who weren't even directly involved), harassing and doxxing a minor because she's firmly convinced the minor runs a Twitter account they have nothing to do with (the account has even reached out to confirm they aren't the minor, Milena still refuses to accept it), and willfully lying and twisting everything we've been calling her out for. Even going as far as to send people angry anons, insist they aren't her, then accidently self-report on her blog confirming they were her.

She's been running defense to cover her ass as well as the pedo's and she's really fucking mad that people found out about it. And now her and people who believe her have been throwing around accusations of "pedojacketing" as if we don't have several instances that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that she supports a pedophile and sees nothing wrong with her being allowed around minors. The story has now shifted from "Oh she's a NOMAP so it's fine because she doesn't believe in contact" to "she has POCD and you're all ableist" (she most certainly does fucking not).
