Some Cardcaptor Sakura stuff ended up on my dash and now I'm thinking about a classic magical girl au. Magical girl Izuna my beloved,,
Has anyone done that yet? Am I going to have to be the one to do that? I'm totally going to have to be that guy aren't I. You know what tho, I think I'm ok with that
Alright;
âšïž Magical girl Izuna time âšïž
I think one or the biiju should be his animal mascot / contractor. Kurama is the obvious choice but Matatabi could be fun, and also like, cmon, fire cat.
Alternatively though in a totally different direction, maybe Amaterasu can be the contractor. It could both play into Uchiha lore and also have some shit about his power coming from the rising sun with his magical girl transformation. Maybe he gets stronger the higher the sun is in the sky, and then weaker at night to the point that he can barley even transform. Maybe the villain of this hypothetical magical girl show could be contracted by Kaguya, and get stronger with the moon in contrast.
Fun scene where despite it being night, he's able to transform because of sun lamps or some conviniently placed solar pannels or smthn.
Maybe the villain of that episode was depending on tech or something, so he gets to shout some quippy line about how "Oh yeah don't you just LOVE the wonders of modern technology!" Before fucking bludgeoning them to death with a magical girl staff or whatever his weapon is
Anyways, set it in vaguely highschool because this shit is always set in a school and I wanna have fun hitting all the tropes.
It acts on a "monster/villain of the week" system with some big shadowy bad guy apparently pulling the strings behind the curtains. The monsters are all existing people or animals, "corrupted by the shadow of the moon" or something along those lines. The moon promises them power to fulfill their wishes but then the wish will inevitably go wrong or the power will be too much for the person, corrupting them.
Izuna uses the power of Amaterasu's light and violence to purify whatever person/animal and return them to normal. Only some people are harder and sometimes require some good old power of friendship yelling to get through to them (this does not stop Izuna from usually just defaulting to violence tho)
Amaterasu lore dumps on him that they must be being corrupted by the power of Kaguya-hime, who was sealed away over a thousand years ago. And that with each monster made, she must grow closer to fully escaping. Which is why it's important that Izuna purify these people as fast as possible, to make sure that Kaguya doesn't receive power from their contratracts with her.
In the meanwhile, they need to brainstorm a way to put Kaguya back in her prison if she escapes. Because if she continues corrupting people for their energy, unless Izuna finds out how she's able to communicate with them from her prison, she will escape.
I want Hikaku as the token best friend who's let in on the magical girl secret (maybe by accident at first) and helps from the sidelines despite having no real power (he's the one who would have pulled in clutch with those solar pannels / sun lamps)
Tobirama can be the classic "ice prince" character who Izuna kind of hates and has a stupid rivalry with that usually seems one sided; Till he manages to rile up Tobirama enough to bite back
Touka as a foil to Hikaku but for Tobirama, acting as his best friend and occasional pain in the ass for both him and Izuna (she thinks Izuna is hilarious and that the stress migraine he causes Tobirama is good for him)
Seemingly clueless Madara and Hashirama, who turn out to be the reincarnations of the guys who originally sealed Kaguya away. They've both just graduated and seem to be too busy entering the adult world to notice Izuna getting caught up in magic shenanigans
School princess and shrine maiden Mito, who's ancestor was someone who helped to seal Kaguya, and who's family shrine still contains some hints at how they did it.
Itama as that one specific trope of a really sickly guy who everyone at school is always gossiping about, and who Tobirama is wayyy overprotective of.
Izuna, Hikaku, Touka and Tobirama are all in the kendo club. Hashirama and Madara were kendo champions and rivals before they graduated and now Izuna and Tobirama seem to be taking up their mantles.
So, Izuna is defeating new moon-mad monsters every week. A lot of them seem to pop up in conviniently nearby places, but he's no closer to finding out how Kaguya supposedly gets in contact with them.
As his adventures progress, he sometimes catches the coat tails of a mysterious other magical girl, but magic prevents him from remembering their face. But they'll appear and help out when he's in a really bad situation, and he sometimes catches them just watching. Suspicious!! But they're too fast for him to ever pin down for a real conversation.
Anyways; Eventually it seems like the monster of this week is going to be a steadily growing tense and unstable Tobirama. Izuna had started to learn the signs of oncoming moon-madness, and he can sense Kaguya's power eating away at him. He swoops in just in time as he sees the power start to consume Tobirama, only to watch as he's somehow able to fight back and regain control.
Still, Izuna will do his due diligence and burn the power away before it can turn him!
Tobirama does not seem to appreciate this. At all.
Queue identity reveal! Only not on Izuna's end.
So, the first twist in our story is that Tobirama ends up being the bad guy.
Flashback some months ago to when this all started:
Tobirama somehow stumbled on Kaguya where she was sealed away. Just like how Amaterasu can only interact with the real world through Izuna, without a magical girl contracted to her to act as her hands, Kaguya could do nothing to escape. So when Tobirama found her, she was immediatley readying her pitch; promising him power, knowledge, all sorts of things if he just helped to set her free. Even offering to bring back his dead brothers.
Though... well, Kaguya's power was fickle. All gods powers are. Amaterasu was only able to contract Izuna without exploding him with the heat of the sun because he was already born one of her children. And Tobirama isn't Kaguya's to claim, which means he ran the risk of getting fucking vaporized or corrupted or going crazy if he accepted the contract.
But with the promise of bringing his brothers back on the table, he wasn't about to say no. And maybe it was through sheer fucking stubbornness, but he was able to handle it. Kind of. He's managing.
(Which is why Izuna can't just purify him with Amaterasu's light or by talking him down, like he does with every moon-mad monster he fights. He's not possessed like they are, he's a proper countracted magical girl, just like Izuna)
Tobirama was able to bring back Itama and give Kaguya some more freedom behind her seal, but still mostly locked away as she was, Kaguya didn't have the power to bring back Kawarama as well, and Itama was brought back weaker than he'd died as.
Which is when Tobirama took matters into his own hands.
He began approaching other people, much like Kaguya had approached him. Offering them contracts with Kaguya on her behalfâ only they turned out to not be able to hold on to the contracts like he could. Being corrupted or going mad and becoming moon-posessed. Still, each contract he made added to Kaguya's power and brought her a little closer to escaping her seal. (And closer to giving Tobirama his last brother back)
(And hey, with Izuna keeping the damage to a minimum and helping purify the people after, Tobirama didn't have to feel as guilty about the damage he was causing)
(Still though, when it looked like Izuna was struggling, he'd try to pitch in. Or when a person made an especially desperate wish or had a specific goal to fulfill with their contract, he'd try his best to help with that. If only as an apology)
But stubbornness wasn't enough to keep him safe from the sharp edges of Kaguya's power forever, and as time passed and the more contracts he made and power he gathered for Kaguya, the more he began to risk being consumed himself.
Which leads back to the here and now, with Tobirama assuming that since Izuna attacked, he'd been made. And Izuna first being really fucking confused, then really fucking concerned, then really fucking mad.
They fight, Tobirama gets away, and the next day Izuna gets to experience the most painful school day of his fucking life. Starting with the realization that, while he can recognize Tobirama since he saw him transform, Tobirama doesn't actually know Izuna is the magical girl
Interlude:
Izuna: What the fuck why did he get a wish when he became a magical girl, I want a wish why the fuck didn't I get one
Amaterasu: :3
Izuna: AND PANTS?? WHY DOES HE GET PANTS???
Amaterasu: teehee <3
Izuna: Don't you fucking teehee me right now
Tobirama, knowing he's going to lose himself to Kaguya's power and aware that a) he's come too far there's no backing out now, and b) he's ok with losing himself if it means he can at least bring Kawarama back, decides to go full throttle. Skips all his classes and dissapears to go do shady shit behind the scenes as he massively moves up the time table for setting Kaguya free
He's already losing himself, might as well pump more power into people to create bigger, badder monstersâ getting Kaguya even more power and putting even more strain on himself
This is about when Touka finds out what's happening with him, and decides she's ok with embracing the morally gray lifestyle for her bestie. She gets Tobirama to agree that once Kawarama is back, hes ending this shit for good. But till then, well, she always did tell him she'd have his back no matter what. Now she gets to parallel Hikaku even more!!! Yay!!!
Queue final battle time! Kaguya is on the very edge of escape and funneling more power into Tobirama than ever! Tobirama is either about to explode from the inside out or turn into a whole moon monster, it's unclear but he is this fucking close to losing it all. Quite literally, actually.
Touka gets to have a teeny bit of Kaguya's power for this battle, knowing the fight would be short enough and that she has enough self discipline to not immediatley go moon-mad.
She gets to face off with Hikaku, who gets his kendo sword blessed by Amaterasu so he can fight back against her moon powers.
It's all very dramatic and Tobirama gets to fully break out of his ice prince shell as he and Izuna scream and beat the shit out of eachother.
Im thinking that no matter what happens, Kaguya still gets free in the end and it's revealed that actually she and Amaterasu are like, bitter exes and this whole thing was a fucking lovers spat
Season 2 is just 20 episodes of Izuna being mad at Amaterasu as she and Kaguya make out passionately in the bg
Kidding. Probably. Idk I'm having a lot of thoughts rn, there's a shape of something to continue the magical girl train but I need to go do work shit so I'll leave this here for now and come back to it later

If youâre taking requests, maybe something about Doux finding the reader absolutely delirious from lack of sleep? I may or may not have gotten literally any sleep last night and although I managed to get through my morning routine pretty efficiently I FEEL my body just wiping out. I will be comatose within the hour.
Sleep, Darling | Hisirdoux Casperan x Reader
Plot: youâve been awake for too long and it is not doing you any favours. Thank god for punk wizards who care about your wellbeing, amirite lads? (Also, the pure Irony that this is getting posted at like, 2:40 am where i am, rip me i guess)
Word Count:Â 2,292
Warnings:  A bit of blood is mentioned in passing, the reader isnât human and probably has adhd or smthn. Also, Friends is mentioned, like, the tv show, so thatâs a thing!
A/N:  if you look closely, you can actually see me projecting onto this one. I hope you got some sleep anon.

Time isnât real. Â Itâs a social construct made to bring order to the general chaos that is human existence. Â That was why you were up at 5 a.m for the second, maybe third, night in a row. Â Was it healthy? Â Probably not, but you didnât need sleep, you needed answers. Â Answers to what? Â Who knows at this point, honestly.
You couldnât say you were surprised when you finally noticed the late, or early hour. Â You just shrugged it off and went âfuck it, all-nighter,â which was fine for the moment. Â But timeâs a bitch, and that moment was over pretty fast. Â By noon, you were ready to collapse. Â The three cups of coffee did not help. Â Instead, they made you vibrate at a frequency that could quite possibly break glass. Â As much as this sucked for you, it was worse for your lovely friend and co-worker, Hisirdoux Casperan.
Now, our boi Douxie was and is madly in love with you, but shhh, itâs a secret. Â You also love him, and thatâs a secret too. Â Neither of these secrets are well kept, and the only reason you arenât together is general stupidity. Â Literally, anyone else who watches the two of you interacting can tell that you're in love. Â Hell, half the town assumes youâre together already. Â The other half keeps trying to get you together. Â It is not working very well. Â But thatâs all a digression. Â What you really need to know is that Douxie loves you and watching you suffer from a lack of sleep was Not A Pleasant Experience. Â You were delirious, shaky, and constantly off-balance. Â You could work well enough, but it was clear that your health was not in the same zone.
The final straw came when you cut your hand on broken glass. Â Youâd dropped a cup, and instead of using magic, youâd tried to fix the mess by hand. Â That plan did not work, and you received a bloody slash across your palm for your troubles.
âAh. Â Fuck,â you said, thinking you were whispering but instead speaking at a normal volume.
âWhatâs wrong, love?â
ââS nothing, Iâve got it,â you did not got it, especially not in this state, and Douxie had the good sense to figure that out. Â The blood was a pretty good hint though.
âOh, fuzzbuckets.â
âI told you, Iâm toooootally fine, there is nothing to worry about.â
âHere, (Y/N), let me help you-â
âNo, no, this is, this is-â it was then that your sleep-deprived brain decided to cut off your train of thought and replace it with another, more chaotic train. Â You stopped talking and just stared at Douxie for a solid minute. Â Or at least it felt like a solid minute. Â Time isnât real, remember that.
â(Y-Y/N)? Â You alright there, darling?â
âYouâre really cute, did you know that?  Like⊠really cute.  Steve was right, you could be a model.â
âI-â
âAlso, just gonna put it out there, I freakinâ love it when you call me darling. Â Like, I know you call most people darling, but it makes me feel special. Â Donât ask why, it just does.â
Douxie wasnât planning on asking why. Â He wasnât really planning on anything. Â Your sleep-deprived half-confession had turned him from a capable individual into a blushing mess in less than a second. Â You always had that effect on him, but it looked like your exhausted state was giving you a bit of an edge.
âOh, sorry, I made it weird. Â Anyway, do you think if I brewed my next coffee with Monster instead of water it would wake me up? Â Because Iâm still tired, and it isnât fun.â
âI- you- Iâm-â
âI think I might try it, honestly.â
âOk, how about you donât do that,â Â Archie said, swooping in, literally and figuratively, to save the day, âDouxie, can you please get (Y/N)âs hand patched up? Â It looks quite painful and theyâre dripping blood onto the carpet.â
You were, in fact, dripping blood onto the carpet. Â That wasnât good, âOh, thatâs- Iâm sorry.â
âDonât fret, just go do something about that hand,â with that, Archie smacked Douxie upside the head in an attempt to snap him out of his flustered state. Â It was super effective!
âAhh, yeah. Â Câmon, (Y/N), letâs,,, go,,, fix,,, that.â
âOk,â  you stood, too tired to protest, and followed Douxie into the back of the bookstore, which was literally just his apartment. Â
It was a nice place. Â Very cozy, very him. Â It made you want to curl up and take a nap, but to be fair, literally everything made you want to curl up and take a nap at the moment. Â Regardless, his home made you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside and you never wanted to leave it. Â Maybe it was the interior decorating, but you knew it was because your favourite person lived there. Â What you didnât know, or didnât realize, was that youâd just spoken your entire thought process out loud and Douxie heard every word of it. Â Once again, the boy was a blushing mess. Â If you were awake enough to process things, you would have found it cute. Â Or youâd be dead from embarrassment, that one is a bit of a toss-up.
Fighting through his flustered state, Douxie pulled you into the bathroom and collected a first aid kit from under the counter. Â While he focused on getting things done, you curled into a ball in his bathtub. Â For some reason, your exhausted brain decided that sitting on the edge of the bathtub simply did not Vibeâą but sitting inside the tub was better than nothing, and so you just,,, curled up there. Â Douxie was only a little surprised to see you there.
â(Y/N)?â
âDâyou remember that time on Friends when Winona Ryder played a closeted lesbian? Â That was a fuckinâ trip, man.â
â(Y/N), darling-â
âThat whole episode is just- itâs just strange.â
â(Y/N)-â
âHehe, Stranger Things.â
â(Y/N), love, I need to see your hand.â
âOh, fuck, yeah, I forgot. Â Here,â you sat up, extending your hand out to the wizard. Â He took it, sitting on the edge of the bathtub which was fine for him to do, I guess. Â Not you though, you were stuck in bathtub jail for sleep deprivation crimes.
You squinted up at his face as he tended to the nasty scratch youâd given yourself. Â You didnât have the capacity to focus on what he was doing, so instead you focused on him. Â He was pretty, as youâd said before, but that was always true. Â At that exact moment, his brows were furrowed in concentration, his eyes concerned and his jaw set. Â His hands were steadier than yours could ever hope to be, especially since you hadnât been sleeping. Â Overall, he looked kind of mad, so you sunk down into your bath-prison, silent and waiting for him to finish so you could get back to work.
Douxie was not mad at you. Â He was upset that you hadnât been sleeping, but he wasnât mad. Â He was just worried for your health. Â Your wizard did not appreciate seeing you shaking and sleep-deprived. Â He didnât appreciate it when your current state led you to injure yourself, either.
He wrapped up your hand and gave it a small pat, âDone. Â Now, come on, youâre taking a nap.â
His voice surprised you. Â It was gentle, calm, not at all angry like youâd suspected. Â You found yourself so lost in it that you didnât realize what heâd said until he said your name, trying to snap you out of whatever haze you were in.
âOh, wait, what? Â No, shit, I have to get back to work-â
âNo, you need sleep.â
âSleep is for the weak, I need to go-â you stood and almost fell over. Â You probably would have broken something if Douxie didnât catch you. Â You hadnât exactly expected to end up in his arms today, and despite the heat rising in your face and neck, you were not complaining.
â(Y/N)-â
âIâm sorry, Douxie, I-â
âYou need to sleep. Â Please, (Y/N), donât make me use a spell on you.â
You froze for a second before a smirk crept onto your face, âYou wouldnât.â
âI-â
âYou wouldnât use a spell on meeeeee-â the smirk grew into a full smile as you let yourself go limp, forcing him to move his hands to support you better and pull you closer to him. Â Was that your plan? Â Maybe. Â Was it part of a second, bigger plan? Â Also yes.
âYou wanna bet?â
âSure.â
âI-â and then he went silent. Â There was a moment of tension where you just stared into each otherâs eyes, holding your breath to see what the other person would do. Â Your gaze fell to his lips as his fell to yours. Â For that moment, your thoughts began to wander far out of your control. Â Douxieâs mind was also running rampant but in a different direction. Â You were right, he thought. Â He couldn't use magic on you. Â As far as he knew, you were a human. Â Just a mortal being who crawled their way into his life and stayed there, improving the quality of it greatly. Â If there was even the slightest chance that a spell may have negative side effects, which most sleep spells did, he wouldnât dare risk it, especially not on you. Â He sighed, tightening his grip on your waist, âYouâre right.â
âWhat?â Â Oop, plan going sideways, PLAN GOING SIDEWAYS!
âIâm- not going to use magic on you,â he helped you to stand, and moved to take a step back before you grabbed his hoodie and pulled him back to you, ignoring the sharp sting in your hand.
âOk, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hang on there wizard boy-â you took a moment to pull yourself out of the bathtub entirely, âYou canât give up that easily.â
âWha-â
âCome onnnnnn, make it fun, make it exciting. Â Put a spell on me or whatever, just-â you went quiet for a second, but for once you werenât distracted. Â Just quiet. Â You had to face facts. Â Your plan had failed, and now you had nothing but the truth.
â(Y/N)?â
âJust make my brain stop. Â For just two seconds.â
âWhat?â
âPlease. Â Iâm running on a motor and I canât stop myself. Â I havenât slept and I have no choice in the matter.â
â(Y/N)-â
âLook, just, take away my free-will if you have to.  Knock me out, magic or otherwise, I just want five seconds where Iâm not on hyperdrive,â you were standing on your own now, though Douxieâs arms were still wrapped around you and you hadnât let go of his hoodie, âPlease.â
The bathroom was silent for a minute. Â It took that long for Douxie to process what youâd just said. Â You feared, for that moment, that youâd said too much. Â You hadn't. Â Not to him, anyway.
âCome on.â
âWhat?â
âCome on,â he said, picking you up, effortlessly sweeping you off your feet.
âWait, what!?â your voice was slightly more frantic, surprise lacing through your words.
âThereâs more than one way to get a person to sleep.â
âOh-?â
He didnât respond to your question, instead, he carried you out the door and into what you could only assume was his room. Â You had no choice but to wrap your arms around his neck and cling to him for dear life until he set you down on the bed.
âStay here, okay? Â Iâm going to make you some tea-â
âWait!â you stopped him, grabbing his wrist as he turned to leave, âIâm⊠Iâm sorry.â
âYou donât need to be sorry, my darling,â he sat in front of you on the bed, âYou just need to get some sleep, okay?â
âBut what about-â
âIâll cover your shift, you donât need to worry.â
âI-â
âJust rest, for now, love. Â Please.â
âOk,â your words were a whisper, something that Douxie could only just hear. Â The next thing though, he didnât have to strain to hear at all, âYeah. Â I meant what I said earlier, by the way. Â Youâre so pretty, it isnât fair.â
He laughed at this, at you, finally seeing some humour in your shenanigans. Â He relaxed now knowing that you may actually get some much-needed rest. Â He stood, kissing your forehead and tracing the side of your face with a hand, rough from guitar strings and 900 years of sweeping.
âWorry not, love, youâre pretty too.â
âHey, wait-â
âDonât âhey, wait,â me. Â You are. Â Now lie down, Iâll be back in a second.â
A smile crept onto your face as you followed orders. Â Your emo wizard man thought you were pretty. Â And he cared enough about you to let you sleep during work hours, in his home, no less. Â You let yourself relax into the bed, grinning once again. Â It smelled like him, like thyme and peppermint, lemongrass and sleep. Â It was nice, comforting. Â You could only vaguely think of Douxie as your brain finally took a fuckin breather. Â It was everything you needed, honestly.
By the time Douxie came back, you were long gone, lost to your dreams and finally asleep. Â He sighed a smile that matched yours on his face. Â He placed the cup of tea on the bedside table before grabbing a blanket out of his closet and draping it over you. Â You looked so peaceful. Â Good. Â You deserved some peace every now and then.
He took the cup and left you, brushing a strand of hair out of your eyes as he did. Â After making his exit, he placed the still-hot tea on the counter, disregarding it for now before returning to the bookshop.
âHow are they?â Â his familiar asked, tail twisting in concern.
He gave a final fond look at the door before returning to business, âTheyâre just resting.â Â And for once, you were.

ok so my roommate and i were talking about starop bc i love dragging her into my bullshit...but also its her own fault for asking why i ship them jsdlafsf but anyway we came up with some good angsty contentÂ
so anyway to be honest we were detailing a potential animatic jashdlasfjsf but it kinda led to us talking about the story potential of having this cross faction romance and all that like parallels between characters; theyre in a fight and somehow starscream winds up fighting against optimus and he fires a missile at him but misses a little too intentionally and megatron notices and like squints his eyes and gives starscream shit about it later of course bc hes suspicious and tells soundwave to keep a closer eye on him,,,,Â
whereas ratchet, in a separate battle, starscream gets shot down by one of the other autobots and optimus just freezes and he wants to run to star and make sure hes ok and it shows on his face and his body language and ratchets pieced things together at this point, he knows Smthn is going on between those two, cuz hes perceptive and he just,, nods at optimus and turns the other way, off to help the others...he pretends he does not see it.Â
and knockout knows, hes still a bitch but he and starscream have smthn of a mutual respect for one another, mostly bc breakdown acts as knockouts conscience ajsdhlsff, so while he teases star like âhave fun with your boy toy, screamer? â,:)â he still like covers for him when megatron is wondering where he is and hes off with optimus.Â
but the SPICY parts, so starscream kidnaps bumblebee and fucks him up a good deal, probably as a desperate attempt to get megatron off his back a little, and when optimus and maybe someone else arrives to save him, star grabs bee in a chokehold with his gun pointed at his head and optimus of course is horrified and trying to talk him down telling him he doesnt have to do this and wondering whY hes doing this, and starscream shoots bumblebee in the torso, not killing him but yknow, hes gonna be out for the count for a hot minute, and flees the sceneÂ
so they dont see eachother for a while, they stop having their secret meetings bc optimus is hurt and starscream is in his own emotional turmoil over the situation. before optimus can figure out how he wants to handle the situation, he gets a complaint from fowler whos like âWHY is this goddamn jet ATTACKING random truckers???â bc starscream, ever so smooth, decided the best way to get ops attention was to. tackle him in alt mode apparently. ratchet gives him a look and says âlooks like someones trying to get ur attention...â and optimus decides hell try to find star in their usual meeting place. ratchet of course is like, long suffering sigh âi cant stop you optimus...i just hope you know what youre doing. be careful.â
so they meet and starscream tries to act like everything is normal but of course optimus has to address the elephant in the room, and starscream is like âi thought we agreed to not talk about war and factions when we meet..â and optimus is like âstarscream, you grievously injured bumblebee. you know why we have to talk about thisâ it becomes pretty heated, mostly bc starscream is explaining himself and is frustrated at the world and their situation and is ranting. he apologizes and clearly regrets what he did, and optimus, having the spark of a saint, forgives him tho hes still hurt. starscreams still VERY distressed though. they have This exchange:
âstarscream...please. come back with me... you wont feel like you have to hurt my friends anymore. we wont have to sneak out in secret...â
âhow many times do i have to tell you i CANT optimus! megatron would KILL me!â (he used to claim that he cant abandon this cause hes worked so hard for, but hes since come to realize the original ideas the decepticons were fighting for have been lost to megatrons batshittery.)
âwe would protect you-â
âoh, like you protected CLIFFJUMPER?â
his eyes widen as he immediately realizes how royally hes just fucked up, and he can see it in optimus face that hes barely holding back a whole slew of hurt, disappointment, anger. it hurts twice as bad bc we all know WHO killed cliff, but also bc optimus no doubt has that leader complex that causes him to feel like cliffs death was his fault bc he couldnt lead them well enough to prevent it, and STAR knows this, and optimus Knows that star knows this, and its just..OOF. so optimus holds it in.
âo-optimus, i- im sorry, i didnt-â
âstarscream....i cannot abandon my family. so you need to pick a side....and if it is not removed from the decepticons...i dont think it is healthy for us to keep this up.â
âoptimus wAIT-â
but hes already transformed and is driving away.Â
again time passes, i havent thought this part all the way thru yet, but eventually they meet again somehow and starscream apologizes (again) PROFUSELY, and optimus, in his infinite patience, forgives him again. they meet in their secret place, and its a pleasant normal meeting, but what optimus said is still very much an issue that needs to be addressed, and its lingering. starscream apologizes again for what he said about cliffjumper, and says smthn along the lines of âif anyone could protect me, not that i NEED protection, mind you......id trust you to be able to.â
âthen come back with me...â
he looks conflicted. he wants to go so bad, but....
âweâll see.âÂ
they kiss and part ways. optimus drives off, but when starscream turns around hes face to face with lazerbeak. soundwave comes out of his hiding place.
âscrap...â
he doesnt bother trying to come up with a lie. he knows it wont get him anywhere. soundwave heard enough, and no doubt recorded it. so instead he pleads with soundwave not to say anything. he promises he wont betray the decepticon cause, he hasnt given the autobots any information and he doesnt plan to, just PLEASE dont say anything.Â
soundwave doesnt say a word. he opens a groundbridge and gestures for starscream to walk through first.Â
and the next part also isnt totally fleshed out but i imagine he doesnt feel like he has much of a choice, so he walks through and has to face whatever megatron has in store for him unless he manages to escape somehow. whether he gets out on his own volition or is thrown off the ship by megatron is still up in the air, but the ensuing fallout of soundwave finding out and telling megs is what finally pushes starscream to abandon the decepticons for good.Â
ANYWAY. YEA. ANGST.

Ok you can discuss how ppl have gotten into the habit of trying to turn everything into a symptom or w/e the current discourse about mental health talk on this site is w/o mocking adhd/autistic ppl. Yâall know that right?
Like. Look i get that itâs annoying when ppl try to ask if having a favorite color is a adhd/autism thing. But I did the same thing when I first found out adhd existed. I was so fucking excited to learn that âhey maybe Iâm not a lazy fuck up, maybe there actually is something different about meâ that any scrap of proof I could find I held close to my chest. Especially with all the people telling me that there was no way I had adhd- that I was too smart. It took me 6 years of constantly asking to get a formal diagnosis. And I needed all those little validations to keep fighting.
Idk. Maybe itâs not the best thing to try and psycho analyze every little thing about yourself. But I donât think itâs the huge deal ppl make it out to be. I think itâs smthn a lot of kids do and will eventually stop doing. I think itâs just part of growing up, especially when your nerodivergent
And I definitely donât think itâs turning ADHD into a trend or getting ppl to misdiagnosis themselves or whatever tf ppl are saying. Like seriously grow up. You think itâs a bad thing that ppl with adhd are getting too much attention or whatever? Like seriously go to therapy. So many ppl irl still see adhd as âohh squirrel diseaseâ and thereâs literally no positive representation for us in traditional media. Why are you so mad ppl are finally getting the chance to discuss their struggles with other ppl like them
And if your argument is âwell everyone online says they have adhd so clearly itâs just a fadâ. Online spaces like tumblr are like catnip to ppl with adhd. Theyâre more accepting and accessibile, itâs easy to indulge hyperfixations with fandom, theyâre constantly stimulating, if something doesnât interest you all you need to do to find something new is scroll, and theyâre generally free of the bullies that have mocked us for being nerodivergent. Such a fucking mystery why a lot of nerodivergent ppl would converge here. Itâs literally like when everyone was saying âwell everyone is gay now bc of the internetâ and ignoring the fact that gay kids were in online spaces bc they were safer, had communities of ppl like them and had information/resources
Like fuck guys. I do think there are some problems with how we talk about adhd on this site. For example a lot of adhd symptoms are relatively normal things taken to such high of a degree that they become debilitating. A lot of symptoms of adhd overlap with a lot of other things. These are both things that need to be remembered and arenât recognized as much as they should be.
But I basically never see criticisms like that I literally just see NT ppl mocking ppl with adhd like weâre back in elementary school. Like go do something productive instead of being a dick head.
Iâve honestly seen more ppl mocking adhd or saying the way we talk about having adhd is problematic than I have seen ppl actually talking about having adhd.
And like, worse case scenario, someone misdiagnoses themselves as having adhd. What are the world ending consequences? They go to the dr and find out they donât? Or find out they have something else? Hell maybe they find out they donât have anything but questioning if they did got them to start going to therapy and improve their lives
Like yâall freak out that weâre âconfusing pplâ or w/e but shouldnât everyone do some introspection? Check to see if they feel different bc everyone feels different or if there truly is something different about how theyâre wired. Why is this the worst possible thing for you guys
Or is all of that justification so you can make fun of ppl with adhd like elementary and middle school bullies. Literally grow up.
I really feel like the way ppl talk about mental health on tumblr has shifted. One way is how we stopped romanticizing mental illness- which is a really really good thing. But now I feel like discussing nerodivergence at all is like cringey. Ppl used to talk about their symptoms all the time and there were communities of ppl that supported one another. And now I feel like the only time we talk about it is when you guys are once again mocking ppl with adhd and autism. Anyone with basically anything else you ignore. Which is fucked up btw fucking listen to psychotic ppl, ppl with different forms of depression, ppl with personality disorders, etc. itâs really not that hard
TLDR: stop being dicks to ppl with adhd. You can comment on and critic how ppl talk about adhd without being an asshole. Listen to all types of nerodivergent ppl.

dracula ask: you mentioned vancula in a previous post, so - in an au where van helsing and dracula are ex-lovers, whats the story there? how did they meet, what was their relationship like, why did it end?
Oooh good ask!Â
Ok hereâs basically what I was thinking:Â
I would imagine that Dracula and Van Helsing met when Van Helsing was young (about 21-22 years), probably through Dracula being friends with Van Helsingâs mom or something. Like, she threw a party one night, and Dracula attended, and him and Bram just got along really well.
I donât think they would have, like, immediately started a relationship. I think they would just be really good friends, especially because I imagine Van Helsing would have been already engaged or even married at the time they met. Of course, they both are in love with each other pretty much right away. I donât think theyâd be entirely aware of it, though. Like, for Bram, I donât think heâd know his feelings for Dracula were more romantic just because he thought he was, yknow, a straight man. Whereas I think Dracula would think he was attracted to Bram, but I donât think he would think he was in love with Bram right away just because heâs Bad at Emotions. So I think thereâd be a few years where theyâre close friends, in love with each other and in denial, and Van Helsing is married. Eventually, Van Helsing has his kid(s), yadda yadda. (I personally headcanon that Van Helsing has two kids, a son and a daughter, the daughter being the eldest, Anna and Jeroen).Â
I think Dracula would have had a lot of harsh feelings against Van Helsingâs wife (whom I have deemed Margareta), but he would have been courteous enough to not let her know about them. Bram would probably know he didnât particularly like her, but I donât think heâd know why. I do think Dracula would adore Bramâs kids and be a kinda fun uncle (should be noted I donât think he would normally like kids).Â
Now eventually, Bram would realize heâs in love with Dracula. I think heâd be the first to recognize his feelings as love. I think first it would happen right after they meet, but I think heâd shove those feelings away and ignore them for a long time. In wake of his sons death, though, I think those feelings would come back hardcore especially because his and Margaretaâs marriage really deteriorates after that. I think heâd probably really freak out once he first realizes, tbh.Â
Ok and now hereâs where I get a bit conflicted. So, I donât think Van Helsing would actively be in a relationship with anyone while he was married. I think he would view it as adultery (which it, yknow, is). BUT I donât think him and Margareta would be able to split up, whether by divorce, or annulment. Iâve been doing some research, but Iâm not Catholic or Dutch Reformed (which was the predominant sect of Christianity in the Netherlands at the time). I know annulments are the only allowed form of marriage split-off allowed in Catholicism, and I think divorces are allowed in Dutch Reformed only under very specific circumstances. I think, if Margareta found out he was gay and in love with Dracula somehow, that it could be qualifications for an annulment, but Iâm really not sure. Iâm pretty sure it only would be if he actually cheated, which is very ooc for him. I just couldnât imagine him doing that at all. Then thereâs the whole thing of Margareta going to an asylum,,,,,itâs just messy. So Iâm still figuring all that out. If I ever do Iâll make a post abt it or smthn.Â
So, assuming they stayed married: I think Van Helsing would end their friendship once he realized he was in love with Dracula, just to cut off any ââtemptationââ. (I hate that word)Â
Assuming Margareta and Bram could get an annulment or divorce: I think Bram and Dracula would probably have some sort of partnership for a little while (it was legal for gay people to have relationships in the Netherlands at this time). Of course, Bram would find out Dracula was a vampire, and tbh I donât think heâd break it off just for that reason. I think heâd probably ask Dracula to stop killing people, and then Dracula would just feed off animals for a little while, and then heâd give in one night and kill a human, Bram would find out and break it off then.Â
Either way, I think ultimately it would be Van Helsing to end it.Â
Anyways, this was very long and Iâm sorry about that lol soÂ
gist: I think theyâd be friends for a while, theyâd have a good and strong friendship, then Bram would be the one to ultimately end things, for whatever reason.Â

this is smthn ive been keeping to myself for a while bc I dont rlly have anyone to talk abt it with, but my family makes me uncomfortable, idk y, theyre nice ppl sure but I just cant really say im very willing to get close with them more, im ok with my mom but everyone else is kinda eh really....not to mention smthn else that has been in my mind for a while is that I dont feel like I love my family more than I should, gosh I sound like a terrible person but I really cant say I love them for real, maybe when they do things for me im ok with them but I really just cant, I can firmly say I do with my friends but idk abt my family....anyways you dont have to reply to this if u dont want to but I just want to let my feelings out somewhere:)) thats all<33
I had to stop for a second when I read this because it honestly sounds like I wrote this myself đ¶
Sometimes you and someone else just arenât on the same wavelength and you canât force yourself to like them and thatâs okay - even if they are your family. Especially if they make you uncomfortable.
I have the same problem with my family. They arenât necessarily bad people but they have a completely different way of communicating that makes me super uncomfortable. They are really loud, they ignore personal boundaries and they love making fun of people. They donât mean this in a bad way and I am sure that they love me but I just cannot bring myself to enjoy spending time with them.
There can be a lot of reasons for you feeling like this. Maybe itâs micro agression, maybe itâs them being too loud, maybe itâs them being ignorant or something else. Especially things like micro agression can leave you feeling like there is no real reason for you to dislike them since there isnât one big thing that happened, itâs a lot of small things piling up.
Or maybe you know that they have some bad views on certain things like religion, homosexuality, politics etc. that make you uncomfortable even though they never really talk about it. That way they are nice to you but you know that they arenât really nice people and that can often leave you feeling uncomfortable.
Or maybe itâs something from your childhood/years ago still bugging you. (tw: eating disorder) For example, like I said, my family loves making fun of people and to them it is fun and nothing serious but it was really damaging to me in my earlier teenage years where it got so bad I developed an eating disorder because they made fun of me for gaining weight. It took me pretty long to figure out that they were the main cause for this so for quite a while I was left wondering why I always felt the need to hide from my family.
But that doesnât mean that this has to be the case with you! You should always be careful when blaming people for things - I also misjudged a lot of the things that especially my parents said and did. It is always possible that they messed up but you should always consider the circumstances and their situation/point of view. And maybe nothing really happened between you and your family. Maybe this is just the way it is for no specific reason - and thatâs okay, too! You have no obligation to love people. Be thankful for the things that they do for you and for the ways that they love you. Donât be rude and give them back the kindness that they deserve but donât feel like you have to force yourself to feel something that you donât.

brOTP: lifeline + mirage!!! they are a chaotic duo. sarcastic to each other a lot. friendos. i also feel like sheâs the closest thing wraith has to a girl friend. she makes sure wraith takes care of herself and has fun with life. and also obviously she and bangalore hang out a lot, maybe train together idk
OTP: *gestures to my blog* i hope this is obvious enough
nOTP: uhhh her and bloodhound?? or caustic?? idk i just dont see it ever happening
random headcanon: sheâs got lots of plants up in her room. she likes taking care of things, but sheâs too busy for real pets so she opted for plants. sheâs got lots of succulents and cacti and some hanging plants like ivy. tends to go for the low-effort ones becus again, shes rlly busy. but she likes em a lot! thereâs just somethin refreshing abt coming home to plants in pretty pots and just playing them music or smthn
unpopular opinion: i honestly?? dont know?? ppl seem to misinterpret her as a âsunshineâ character ive noticed but i would say me disagreeing with that portrayal of her is an unpopular opinion ykno
song i associate with them: hhhhhh rihannaâs âonly girl in the worldâ iâm still waiting on somebody to draw her into that music video cus it honestly slaps so hard and i would literally die if it happened

random headcanon: iâve been meaning to do a post on this but this guy pays for everything. any time he is out with friends or whatever heâs paying. he just does it out of habit he refuses to let anyone pay for anything. also for birthdays or other special occasions u bet ur ass he is spending a fortune on his friends. like why wouldnt he?? heâs rich??? whose gonna stop him??? his parents cant ground him heâs 24 and technically is inheriting the fortune anyway becus whereâs that money gonna go?? live wild have fun. also i assume they win money from the games so usually he just gives that all away to charity (usually ajayâs). he also does charity streams sometimes. like he doesnt need that money
unpopular opinion: i agree heâs a disaster but not like. in need of a damn babysitter or whatever, like heâs an adult he can take of himself ykno.
song i associate with them: the most octanecore song iâve heard has been âTurn The Music Upâ by NF

EDIT: yall idk why the actual fic isnt showing up in the tags but this shit is, bc thats literally the opposite of what i wanted, but for the love of god read the fic first and/or instead, thatâs the thing i spent more than 20 minutes on: [link]
Hey random idea dump for that one fic i done did yeehaw... itâs almost longer than the fic itself but jesus christ i need to get these ideas out of my head and throw them into the internet ether, seriously donât read this its a goddamn mess
So ghjkdf the actual plotty part of that fic came from that one b99 bit... the Bone one.....u kno
Arthur: Come on, Dutch. The O'Driscolls thing isn't the problem. You're in a bad mood because you've been so busy planning this heist that it's keeping you and Hosea apart. You two just need to bone. John: Oh no... Dutch: ...What did you say? John: Don't say it again! Arthur: I said you two need to bone. John: Oh my god... Dutch: (with barely contained fury) Hhhhhow Dare you Arthur Morgan, I am thIS GANG'S LEADER!!! You have NO RIGHT to comment on my sex lifeâ (5 minutes later) Dutch, standing on top of a table screaming: BONE?!?!?! (10 minutes later) Dutch: What happens in my bedroom, son, is NONE of your businessâ (20 minutes later) Dutch, jumping up and down on the table: BOOOOOOONE!!!!!!!!! (40 minutes later) Dutch: And don't EVER speak to me like that AGAIN! (storms off) John, sunken down in his chair in horror: Why the hell did you do that? Arthur: (shrugs) They need to bone. John: Gross, Arthur! That's our dads!
And then like a day later gfdhkg
John: Oh hey Dutch! I know you don't want to talk about Hosea, BUT, I had an ideaâ Dutch: No need, John, it's all good. John: So... your fight with Hosea is over? Dutch: Yep. John: Because you finally figured out a plan for the heist...? Dutch: Nope! Arthur, excitedly: Because you guysâ? Dutch: Yyyyep! Arthur, looking smug: Knew it. John: Ugh... Arthur: (leans down close to him) See, what happened is, our dads had sexâ John: UGH, SHUT UP!
Another inspiration I had was John Mulaneyâs bit about zoning out for John with adhd,,,,, the part where heâs like âthe doctor was reading me the results of a blood test, it was IMPORTANT that I LISTENED, but NO, I zoned out, I was like, Iâm just gonna stare at the wall and think mâthoughtsâ thatâs why I wrote the part where John was like âehhh attention deficient something something diseaseâ bc it made me laugh gjhggdjh
Dutch: so the doctor says you have ADHD John: (thinking about minecraft) what?
Also unrelated but blease consider Arthur teaching John to drive like
Arthur: are you watching the road? John: ........I am looking through the windshield Arthur: John: .......and Iâm not gonna hit anyone...... Arthur: John: ....but no. Iâm thinkinâ about minecraft
(Also I donât know anything about ssb Iâve played it once and hated it, minecraft is my og video game love, but Abigail beating John at ssb is funnier, Iâm a fake gamer boy :^( rip)
ONE MORE INSPIRATION THAT ONE VINE ITS MY FAVORITE VINE
Arthur: are you drinking coke for breakfast? John: yeah, what did you have for breakfast? Arthur: ........nothing John: (sipping his drink) Iâm doing better than you, then
Anyway onto ACTUAL IDEA STUFF HOORAY
So when Dutch and Hosea decided to adopt, they agreed they wanted to take in kids who needed good homes the most, so they were specifically looking for older kids who would probably age out of the system and wind up on the streets
They met Arthur who was a clearly depressed and gender non conforming thirteen year old who hated everyone and everything and wasnât getting the Love he Deserved, and Dutch was like âI want THAT ONE, with the SAD EYESâ
Arthur tried to push them away at first, cuz he absolutely didnât trust anyone, and some part of him believed theyâd just give him right back up for adoption if he disappointed them in any way. But he eventually learned that they were good guys who really just wanted to help him, and they werenât gonna abandon him if he wasnât the perfect kid they always wanted
(he probably told them about this fear eventually and Hosea just snorted and was like âif we wanted a perfect kid we woulda got a cabbage patch doll. something that wouldnât scream or make a messâ and Dutch was like âyeah! or like a 27 year old with a job and their own house and kids of their own. pre-made grandkidsâ and Hosea was like âor a catâ and Arthur was like â...okayâ)
Anyway it took a loooong time but Arthur eventually trusted them enough to come out to them as trans, without really knowing the proper words for everything, just knowing that He Is A Boy And Thatâs That. As much as Hosea is the one the lads go to to talk about stuff and get comfort and Wise Dad Advice, he probably told Dutch first bc he was more uncertain how heâd respond and he wanted to get it over with in the worst way possible.... like, if they were gonna react badly, heap all the bullshit on in one fell swoop
I imagine he did it off the cuff too, in response to something Dutch said, like Dutch was like âu get back here right now young ladyâ and Arthur was like âfirst of all Iâm not a lady, Iâm a BOY, and second of all FUCK you, I do what I WANTâ and Dutch was like âgroovy. youâre grounded.â Arthur was like (offended) âdonât say groovy... donât try to be hipâ and Dutch was like âno itâs totally tubular that ur a boy. Itâs absolutely funky. Youâre fucking grounded thoughâ
Then he went and told Hosea like âcongrats! itâs a boyâ and they helped him transition and they didnât tolerate a single person misgendering him the whole time. Like before heâs even begun transitioning, theyâre literally at the doctors office to discuss it w/ their doc for the first time, and a nurse is like âms. morgan?â And Dutch is like âINCORRECTâ and the doctor is like âwhat seems to be the problem (deadname)?â and Dutch is like âFOOL! THIS CHILD WAS LABELED INACCURATELY, WE REQUIRE A GENDER RETRACTIONâ and Hoseaâs like âplease stop yellingâ
Anyway probably about a year later they got John when he was ten and Arthur was fifteen. Arthur was a little bit jealous like, wow, am I not enough kid for u, but Dutch and Hosea always planned on getting at least two bc they wanted them to have siblings, and they know John came from a pretty abusive situation, so Arthur canât be too mad at him. At least until he met John and realized what a fucking brat he is
Since John was younger and way more desperate for affection, he immediately loved Dutch and Hosea just bc they were nice to him, he was ready to call them his dads within the month but he was nervous that it was too soon and theyâd be weirded out. But I imagine he got triggered by something and had a meltdown and they got to see just a glimpse of what heâd been through, and Dutch and Hosea were falling over themselves trying to comfort him and tell him they love him and now Iâm making myself cry :â^(
Anyway... from that point on John was like âthese are the only dads Iâve ever had and I would kill a man for them.â He gets in trouble quite a bit bc heâs Naughty, but Dutch and Hosea always make sure to punish him fairly and never yell or be physically intimidating with him or permanently take away his stuff, like they make him do chores to earn back the right to use the xbox or something. And they always explain to him exactly what he did wrong and why heâs being punished and talk to him about how he can make it better or what he can do next time, or if thereâs a root problem, like heâs acting out bc heâs overwhelmed with school work or smthn, how they can help him. Especially after he gets diagnosed with ADHD
And of course they do all this with Arthur too, but they make a special concerted effort with John bc heâs The Baby :^) and Dutch somehow maintains an attitude of âidk what ur talking about, John has never done anything wrong ever in his lifeâ every time he gets in trouble meanwhile Hosea is like âwhat do you MEAN, heâs a GREMLINâ fjfjfhhf
Arthur was probably diagnosed with depression and anxiety at some point... it was probably a long process to get him to even admit he had a problem bc he didnt wanna bother anyone... Arthur also probably came from an abusive situation from the way canon Arthur talks about his dad, but Arthur is much more the type to be like âiâm gonna keep all my feelings inside, and then one day, iâll dieâ whereas John is like âi will SCREAM if i get a papercutâ
[EDIT: i woke up in a cold sweat at 4 AM with this in my head so now iâm putting it here
Charles: So, Arthur... Do you wanna talk about your feelings? Arthur: No. John: I do! :) Charles: ...I know, John. John: Iâm sad! :) Charles: I know, John.
iâm sure itâs been done before but itâs so good. ok now back to our regularly scheduled programming]
In regards to Arthur being trans, John doesnât really Get It, Arthur tried to explain it to him once and John couldnât care less, all he knows is Arthur used to be a girl or something, thereâs tea involved probably, and John is thinking about minecraft again... he has 2 am thoughts about it sometimes and comes to Arthur like âwhat IS genderâ and Arthurâs just like âhm. big moodâ
Dutch is âDadâ and Hosea is âPapaâ or âPaâ or âPopsâ or âDad, No Not You, The Other Oneâ or âOther Dad.â Hosea really doesnât mind at all, he wouldnât care if the kids called him Hosea or mom or anything else, it truly isnt important to him. But Dutch Loves being Dad. Every time they call Dutch Dad he grows three times stronger and 10 years are added to his lifespan. Dutch is an Alpha Parent, he 100% goes to every parent teacher conference and bake sale, heâd go to every game and concert too if either of his kids had a single athletic or musical bone in their dumb little bodies. I guess the school probably hosts art galleries sometimes to display art the kids make, Arthur always has a drawing in one of those, and Dutch will absolutely go just to brag about his cool son.
Dutch is the Fun Energetic Dad who embarrasses the boys in front of their friends but can always be talked into taking them out to get ice cream. Hosea is the more quietly anxious dad, he makes sure they do their homework and keep their rooms clean and shit, and he's the one the kids always go to talk to when theyâre having problems... like Arthur will rant for an hour and a half about high school drama and Hosea will patiently listen to all of it and when he's done heâll offer to kick the other kidsâ asses for him, and Arthurâs like lmao but Hosea Means It.
Hosea is also the one the kids go to for help on their homework because Hosea and Dutch have five brain cells between them, and four of them belong to Hosea. Dutch is like âsuddenly I donât remember basic math, time to make shit upâ and Hosea is like âI must become an expert on 1820s Chinese history in two days for my beautiful sonsâ
I have NO idea what either of their jobs are, I wanna say Hosea is a lawyer or smthn but idk, Dutch is probably like......................a used car salesman LMAO...... they clearly make a lot of money (or maybe STOLE SOME) bc I gave them a huge house w/ a pool gjhkdhg
Anyway more about THE KIDS
They go to a school that is a combination middle school and high school, bc thatâs what my school was like
Mrs. Grimshaw is the strict and irritable principal with a secret soft spot for kids, Mr. Pearson is the cafeteria cook, Strauss works in the office, I wanna say Rev. Swanson is a weird but friendly janitor or something lmao. Uncle is Dutch & Hoseaâs annoying forever-drunk neighbor who everyone barely tolerates fjfjhfh
Micah is The School Bully but like bc this is a cutesy high school au and I can do what I want, heâs not actually like a violent racist or anything heâs just a bad mad sad kid who is a huge dick
Bill is Micahâs Bully Henchman, heâs generally not as much of a dick as Micah is, but he punches whoever Micah asks him to bc they are the closest thing to friends that either of them have
Trelawny is a new student who just moved from another school and heâs that fucking Weird Magician Kid who canât hold a conversation longer than five seconds without saying âwanna see a magic trick,â tried to do some unimpressive card tricks for the school talent show, unironically wears a cape, etc.... Arthur stood up for him when he was getting pushed around by Micah and Bill so now Arthur has +1 more weird friend
Karen is the Popular Girl who somehow knows everyone, is probably a cheerleader, everyone is either extremely intimidated by her or thinks sheâs gonna be a stuck up bitch, but sheâs actually just super fucking chill and nice, WILL stab a man for her friends, she wonât hesitate bitch
Tilly is Karenâs bff who was getting bullied by *shakes fist* those dang foreman brothers.... Karen stood up for her and Tilly was like âno donât u will get hurt!!â and Karen was like âha... fool... cheerleaders cannot dieâ and whooped ass with her gymnastics skills and somehow got the foreman brothers expelled. So now Tilly is like âI owe u one (1) Life Debtâ but Karen is like ânah itâs chill just come to target w/ me & weâll call it even.â Tilly is just tryna get shit done and do her damn homework but everybody else is going on adventures and being nuisances so of course Tilly has to go too bc come on....... who do you take her for, some kinda two-bit GEEK? NO WAY
Mary Beth is a quiet nerdy girl whoâs always reading or writing and never talks in class or anything. Karen and Tilly became her friends thru sheer brute force, Karen just sat by her one day n was like âsupâ and Mary Beth was too shy to ask her to leave. They were surprised to discover Mary Beth is actually pretty nice and funny when you get to know her and also the Biggest Lesbian Alive
Sadie is a BAD BITCH... NOBODY fucks with Sadie, not even Micah, Sadie is the girl who when some dipshit boy spreads a rumor that he had sex with her, she agrees and tells everyone she pegged him and he cried after, she hasnât given a fuck since 2007. she climbs on the roof to get lost frisbees. one time she got the gym coach to agree to give her an automatic A in the class if she did 100 push ups in 5 minutes. Then she Did That. She might have pulled several muscles in both of her arms but She Did That. Karen, Tilly, and Mary Beth (but mostly Karen) approached her like âdamn that was sickâ and Sadie was like âyea i knowâ and then they were friends
I literally donât know anything about Sean Iâm sorry...... maybe heâs a transfer student who becomes friends with John, they play Minecraft together and Sean boobytraps the houses John builds. Sean is the only living human being who understands how redstone works and he uses his powers for evil
Molly is going to a nearby community college and is working at the high school part time as a TA and she is like 19-20 or smthn so the kids all think sheâs The Hottest Shit,,,, like they think sheâs just the coolest hippest person alive, but also she is Very Attractive so fuckin everybody has a crush on her, most specifically Javier and Mary Beth. She ineptly tries to flirt with Dutch every time he comes to a parent teacher conference bc sheâs dummy thicc and thinks itâs friendship goals that Dutch lives with and has adopted children with his Best Bud Hosea
The teacher Molly is TA for is Charles Chatenay, an all-grades art teacher who takes his job WAY too seriously, like dude chill theyâre high schoolers. His class is where Arthur met Albert, bc Arthur loves drawing and obviously Albert loves photography. They were both like âwow heâs cuteâ but were too shy to talk to each other for more than basic pleasantries, until one day Albertâs Big Project was ruined a day or two before he was gonna turn it in, and Arthur helped him fix it.
Theyâre so sweet on each other itâs unbearable, theyâre both Soft Boys so they fuckin blush if they make eye contact...... the most bold either of them get is when Arthur is feeling insecure about his body and Albert gladly tells him how perfect and handsome he is in every way, and he wishes he was half as gorgeous as Arthur is, and Arthur is like (offended) um, excuse me, how dare u insult my beautiful boyfriend in this way?? They both wanna grow beards so while theyâre still going thru Changes they excitedly bond over their facial hair......... they run up to each other at school like LOOK AT MY NEW CHIN HAIR and the other one is like WOW!!! GOOD JOB
Javier has a big lovely family who spoil him rotten and tbh love to spoil his friends when they come over too, his parents are in a constant and devastating game of dish-gifting with Dutch & Hosea, Arthur and John have eaten more of Mr. & Mrs. Escuellaâs tamales than any other food, neither Dutch nor Hosea are very good cooks but luckily Javier has plenty of aunts and uncles and cousins who are happy to occasionally take one of their unimpressive lasagnas or cakes from a box mix
Lennyâs cool dad in canon is the high school au dad of Charles and Lenny, he and Charlesâs mom amicably divorced and he got remarried to Lennyâs mom, who is a Cool Stepmom to Charles. Charles and Lenny go stay with Charlesâs mom all the time, in fact she was around so much when they were younger that she practically helped raise them both. maybe she gets a gf and Charles and Lenny have so many moms and are so loved & cherished like they fuCKIN DESERVE
Kieran is the weird horse girl at school, heâs Lennyâs age, they become friends when theyâre forced to sit next to each other and theyâre both too awkward and shy to say anything until theyâre paired up on a project together bc everyone else in the class already paired up and they were the only ones left gjkhfd.... John wants to dislike Kieran bc Lenny is HIS friend now, but Kieran is a sweet lad with a mean dad.... His dad is Colm OâDriscoll, Dutch & Hoseaâs other neighbor and Dutchâs sworn enemy
Dutch expects Kieran to be as shitty as his dad, but he is a SWEET BOY, and as soon as they realize his situation, they tell Kieran he can come over whenever he wants and spend the night any time, he doesnât have to ask or anything, but Kieran is super respectful and always asks permission and always tries to come over when John or Arthur are there so he can go under the pretense of hanging out with them, bc he doesnât wanna intrude...
Once he came over when Hosea was the only one home and he was like âhi Mr. Matthews are John and Arthur homeâ and Hosea was like âno sorry theyâre outâ and Kieran was like âoh... ok sorry Iâll just go thenâ and Hosea was like âabsolutely notâ and brought Kieran in and made him snacks and wrapped him in many blankets and watched a kids movie with him until he fell asleep on the couch... when Dutch came home he was like â??? new son ???â and Hosea was like âyea I guess. oopsâ
When Kieran gets older they help him become an emancipated minor and get a job and his own place (even tho he knows theyâd let him stay with them if he wanted) and he changes his last name to his momâs maiden name Duffy... Colm and Dutch glare at each other over their fences and Colm is like âenjoying stealing my son?â and Dutch is like âmy son nowâ but Colm really doesnât care bc heâs an asshole... and even tho they donât legally adopt him, Kieranâs like âIâm more of a Van der Linde than an OâDriscollâ and oops iâm making myself cry again :â)
And yes Abigail does eventually teach John how to play stupid super smash bros. Sheâs Pro Gamer level of competent at nearly all video games and John has the biggest heart eyes for her, the end thank u for listening

Megan Reads Oathbringer (part 11)
All right, now that itâs been 4 months and Iâve read all the other things, I realized that itâs, like, 5 days until this book has been out for a year and I should probably get the fuck on with it, so. Here we are.
Part 11 encompasses pages 828-934 (previous parts)
me in July: Iâm almost done! I can finish this!
me, now: sweet christ I have a smaller novelâs-worth still to get through lord let me live
Aw, damn, I left off on Interludes, but I DONâT CARE ABOUT VENLI, WHERE MY BOYS AT
oh SNAP I WANT THAT, the ability to speak and understand all languages???? GRABBY HANDS
ah yes the âthe alethi enslaved us so we should rise up and kill them by enslaving ourselves to this other, more horrible godlike beingâ narrative. my favorite.
sigh
why we gotta EXTERMINATE people?
Iâm tired. of extermination plotlines.
Maybe. Venli and her lil light spren will stop? the extermination!? Iâm here for that!
âThere was an art to doing laundryâ HONESTLY THO, HAVE YOU MET COLLEGE-AGE BOYS WHO NEVER LEARNED HOW MUCH SOAP TO USE? AMEN.
oh.
I forgot about Mraize.Â
like, literally, 100% forgot about his existence. sorry alyx.
eyy, we found Shalash!
HE WAS LOOKING FOR HER?? IT WAS A TRAP??
admiralakbar.gif
...Mraize has a babsk? I didnât think he was Thaylen????
âA resistance is not what we caught you mounting.â UGH. PICK THE HAMMER, YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT.
Why do I feel like this is a âHE HAS CHOSEN THE BEAR. BRING FORTH THE BEARâ joke?
yeessssssss, VENLI!!! TAKIN RESPONSIBILITY!!!!!!!! I CARE NOW. I WANT HER TO BE BETTER, I WANT HER TO WORK THROUGH. GIIIRRLL!!!!
HOW LONG WILL YOU VACILLATE?
YESSSSS
gr oss? Tha nk s? for the melting flesh images??
yelch
PART FOOUUUUUURRR
thatâs. so many POVs. What is this, a GRRM book?
also none of the POVs are Bridge Four and. WHEN WILL MY BOYS COME BACK FROM THE WAR.
wait, I could have sworn the Alethi had been fighting the Parshendi for ten years?? but Dalinar is talking to Gavilar EIGHT years ago?
Did I miss smthn?
Did I conflate the Shattered Plains with the Trojan War? Iâm confused.
Lisa has done Math for me and found out that it was only 6 years????????? Why did I think it was ten??? I COULD HAVE SWORN IT WAS TEN????
âhis job was to loomâ heheheh
so... Dalinar is the nuclear deterrent and the nuclear threat all in one?
Dalinar, leaning into the mic: âThe truth is... I am Iron Man.â
#Evideservedbetter2kForever
OH NO A BABY
TINY FIFTEEN YEAR OLD ADOLIN IS MAKING MY HEART SING
âI had this specially tailoredâ I LOVE HIM
OHHHHH
HEâS TRYING SO HARD TO IMPRESS HIS DAD IâM CRYING
âWhen censured, Adolin only tried harder.â I! LOVE! THIS! TINY! SUNLIGHT! BOY!
I wanna write fic where Adolin Kholin meets Luke Skywalker and the world literally EXPLODES IN SUNLIGHT AND SOFTNESS.
âWho could deny him?â CERTAINLY NOT ME, I WOULD DIE FOR ADOLIN KHOLIN TOO GOOD TOO SOFT FOR THIS WORLD
me, squinting: âwhich Herald is Ahu?â
my running method is to just suspect everyone of being a Herald. At some point, Iâll have to be right.
WHICH! HERALD! IS! AHU!
HEâS TALKING ABOUT THE UNMADE LIKE HE KNOWS THEM PERSONALLY, TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY LET THEM IN. WHICH!!! HERALD!!! IS!!! AHU!!!!
LISTEN, I JUST WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THE HERALDS. GIMME A BOOK ABOUT THE HERALDS, BRANDON!
GIMME THAT JUICY GOOD BACKSTORY, BRANDON!!!
me: why is there a map with the sea but Kholinar is on it???
two seconds later: OOOHHH DUH ITâS SHADESMAR
wack y fun!
ARE DREHY AND SKAR OKAY???? THEY DIDNâT COME WITH???
ARE THEY OKAY?
OH NO OH NOO IâM GONNA WORRY AOBUT THEM FOREVER
Adolin, say hi to your swwooooorrdddd
....the Oathgate has souls?
what?
Fearspren: gross.
I knew they were all bigger on the inside, as it were, but. #yikes?
âKaladinâs not well.â âI have to be well.â
BRB SOBBING ABOUT KALADIN
IâM!
HEâS SO STRONG
IâM! HELP!
GIANT CLAW? UNMADE!!?? LETâS KILL IT. IDK IF WE CAN BUT CAN WE TRY??
âsword ladyâ HEH
ok well, at least we know Drehey is alive, since Shallain bumped into his soul, which is both TERRIFYING and REALLY COOL
YOUâRE NOT NOTHING, ADOLIN, YOU ARE EVERYTHING AND I LOVE YOU.
*long keening noises*
I FELL ON THE FLOOR
âHey,â Adolin said. âIt will be all right.â âI survived Bridge Four,â Kaladin growled. âIâm strong enough to survive this.â âIâm pretty sure you could survive anything. Storms, bridgeboy, the Almighty used some of the same stuff he put into Shardblades when he made you.â Kaladin shrugged. But as they walked onto the next platform, his expression grew distant again. He stood while the rest of them moved on. Almost like he was waiting for their bridge to dissolve and dump him into the sea. âI couldnât make them see,â Kaladin whispered. âI couldnât...couldnât protect them. Iâm supposed to protect people, arenât I?â
GUESS WHICH PART BROKE MEGAN
GUESS WHICH PART DUMPED MY HEART ON THE FLOOR
ANYWAY, IâM CRYING
THISISFINE.PNG
âIâm frightened. I talk when Iâm frightened.â I LOVE HIM.
ADOLINâS HELOIGN HIM HEâS MAKIN HIM TALK TO DISTSRAT HIM AND MAKE HIM JEEP WALKING AND IâM
I LOV A SUNSHINE BOY
SO MUCH
...is Vivenna okay?
oh shiiit, Adolin is? king????
sort of? almost??
oh man, heâs gonna be SO GOOD AT IT!!!! LOOK AT HIM TAKING CHARGE AND TAKING CARE OF EVERYONE. HEâS SUCH A GOOD LEADER, HEâS GOING TO BE SOOOOOO GOOOOOOODDD AT THIS!!!!
that chapter was a Lot
OH NO A SZETH CHAPTER
Iâve only been asking for this for tHE WHOLE BOOK
but now Iâm gonna be MORE SAD
.......idk how I feel about the soul-after-image thing. itâs interesting, but Iâm still a lil weirded out by Szeth...you know...being alive?
huh. Vasher knows about the magic fish? So....does this validate Lisaâs theory about the fish and the birds from that other cosmere thing I canât remember bc I havenât read it?
holy shit, thatâs a LOT of skybreakers.....
...who have been around the WHOLE TIME???? WTF
So...Szeth can hear the Spiritual Realm.....and is going to bond a spren, of the Cognitive Realm...and is in the Physical Realm... so does that make him the Avatar, Master of All Three Realms?
(while he may have a lot to learn, I believe that Szeth can save the world)
hm. theyâre so...regimented. militaristic. ritualized. Theyâve got tests and rules for getting in and itâs all very well-put-together. and itâs WEIRD compared to everyone else stumbling into their Ideals. Is this what is was like before the Recreance? or is this just the Skybreakers being Skybreakers?
why are there kaladin flashbacks in the dalinar book, why, brandon, why must you hurt me in this way
Brandon: *mentions Tien* Me, softly: ânoâ
HE REALIZED HE COULD KILL AND THATâS WHAT TERRIFIED HIM
THISISFINE.PNG
IâM EMOTIONAL AND KALADIN IS SAD AND IâM UPSET
Also, Syl just. grabbing his arm and snuggling him is VERY GOOD, SHE IS VERY GOOD, AND SHE SHOULD BE WORSHIPED FOR BEING SO VERY WONDERFUL
âIt cannot be holy. If it truly were, it would have burned me away long ago.â IâM SAD NOW, THANKS.
I have weird emotions about people losing their faiths, and Szethâs character arc has been particularly. compelling to me.
âHereâs what you have to do: fight him and win!â has the same energy as that obnoxious Assassinâs Creed âtipâ thatâs like âthe trick to staying alive to is get your enemyâs health bar to zero while keeping your above zeroâ and IâM SO PLEASED.
ooohh shit
he drew Nightblood
which I feel is NOT RECOMMENDED
# Y I K E S
Skybreakers take the âlawfulâ part of DnD alignments to a very unhealthy extreme
tbh theyâre a lil fucked up, ngl
Skybreakers make me uncomfortable, is what Iâm saying.
âhe had never mastered the âsleep anywhereâ skill the grunts bragged aboutâ NEERRRRDD
WHEN WILL ADOLIN REALIZE HEâS A REALLY GOOD LEADER??? SOMEONE TELL HIM, I WOULD BUT IâM TOO FAR AWAY.
oh that makes sense
I was confused for a hot second about how Vivenna knew Adolinâs kata, but she probably learned it from Vasher who...also...taught Adolin. Duh.
âIâm just a woman who has been constantly out of her league since adolescence.â Viveennnnaaaaaa, darling. Youâll be all right.
also that makes total sense--the Horneater Peaks? If theyâve got a portal, it makes sense theyâre so much more in tune to the spren. Easier border crossings.
PEOPLE live in this realm? What the??
I donât know Nazh, but the fact that he has an embarrassing tattoo due to Horneater lager bad decisions DELIGHTS ME
hm. idk why Iâd sort of assumed that Dalinar went to visit the Nightwatcher before Gavilar died, but. maybe Iâm wrong. Maybe it was a consequence of Gavliarâs death.Â
âthe other oneâ GET FUCKED WITH A CACTUS, PAST!DALINARÂ
OOHH
SOFT BOY
Renarin is such a Good
also, Dalinar HUGGING is SO GOOD KEEP DOING THAT THAT WILL HELP
âHumans, you must stop your emotions. They are very inconvenient here.â I think, Pattern dear, that Shallan rather thinks emotions are inconvenient everywhere.
mmmmmmmmmmmmm
HERE WE ARE AGAIN
ANGER IS ALWAYS THE FIRST STAGE OF DEPRESSION
HELLO, KALADINMEGAN BRAIN, ITâS BEEN A WHILE SINCE YOU WERE SO NEATLY SPELLED OUT BUT HERE WE ARE AGAIN
âYouâre not angry at anyone, youâre just looking for something to latch onto. Something to feel.â To stave off the darkness of unfeeling and anger is easy. Itâs irrational and warm and so easy. So itâs always the first one to go.
âIt would continue until numbness seemed preferable.â GOD YUP. THERE IT IS.
Itâs still really validating and really, really unsettling to see your brain problems spelled out so succinctly.
oh lord
âMen he loved, killing each other.â
IâM UPSET
(and the very tiny garbage part of my brain goes, âsee he LOVES Moashâ)
ADOLIN TAKING THE REARGUARD BECASUE SOMETIMES KALADIN NEEDS LOOKING AFTER IâM EMOTIONAL
Syl had a different Kaladin before Kaladin?? Wild.
and GOD but the symbology of the LIGHTHOUSE in Kaladinâs chapter. Iâm. <3
EEEYYYY NAVANI!!!
she made them carry their own chairs, GOD THE MEANING BEHIND THAT, I LOVE HER
âElhokar and Adolin are safe somewhere.â ABOUT THAT....
LOPEN, PLS
Bridge Fourâs unwavering belief in Kaladin is SURE A THING. I love them SO MUCH.
also, god, MY BOYS, here they are, eating all the food and being ridiculous losers at a formal event I HAVE MISSED THEM SO
god, fuc you Ialai. ofc she didnât carry her own chair, fukin JERK
good to know the assholery of the Sadeas name is being upheld, even after his death
god, every time Taravangian is mentioned, my gut just clenches, he makes me SO NERVOUS
GOD YES OH MY GOD, LIFT VS ROCK EATING CONTEST PLS GIMME MORE
I have forgotten that I love Sebarial. Petition for him to show up more often.
OH GOOD HEâS HAVING A BAD DAY. EXCELLENT. HEâS MUCH BETTER WHEN HEâS STUPID
...unless heâs super smart today and just pretending to be stupid.
fuck
ITâS SO HARD TO TELL WITH HIM ARGH
ANYONE ELSE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DISCUSSION OF INVADING SHINOVAR WHEN SHINOVAR IS THE ONLY PLACE THAT DOESNâT HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE AT THIS COUNCIL???? JUST ME? OKAY.
also they keep talking about Shinovar as a redoubt and a haven, but....didnât the Everstorm--going the wrong way--destroy Shinovar? Has anyone checked??
Navani is so clever and itâs brilliant.
âTaravangian was talking about having you tour Vedenar personallyâ....alone....so he can MURDER YOU. BAD IDEA. ABORT MISSION.
KALADIN HAD AN OLD LADY SLAVE FRIEND WHO DIED AND IâM SAD AGAIN DAMNIT
âHeâs got battle fatigue. We have to watch him when heâs sitting around doing nothing, not when heâs got a specific mission.â MMMMMMHHHMMMMMMM
the future is forbidden, but not to Truthwatchers, sooooooo... is. this âOracleâ. a.......... Herald? PERCHANCE.
(Heâs not, but I AM SUSPICION INCARNATE)
Werenât they lying at the beginning and saying that Shallan was an Elsecaller? Because Odium thinks sheâs an Elsecaller for some reason. And I wonder...who heâs spying through and where his attention is focused and who told him the lie?
KALADIN JUST WANTS TO SAVE HIS DAD IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK
aight, which world does canned food come from? How far ahead is the mistborn world whose name I canât remember right now but it begins with an s SCADRIAL YEAH THAT ONE how far ahead is Scadrial in technological progression? Where does the Stormlight Archive fall on the mistborn timeline?
ADOOOLLIINNN. TALK! TO YOUR SPREN!!!
THEY DONâT KNOW??? THE BOYS DONâT KNOW? HOW THEIR MOTHER DIED?
HOW DO THEY NOT KNOW?
oh my god
that
god, thatâs a huge lie to believe for so, so long. ohhh my goddd
someone has been writing down all the Unmadesâ names, right? So I can look them up in the Coppermind later and be confused and try to work out which is which and what they do and how terrified I should be of them? cool thanks.
HELLO DARKNESS, MY OLD FRIEND
HEâS GONNA TELL US SECRETS!!!!! ARE THEY USEFUL!? WILL I LEARN THINGS ABOUT THE HERALDS!!!!??
I have one (1) priority in this establishment
...why does Syl have color
who is she
also LIGHTSPREN/REACHERS??? COOL AS FUCK OMG
âYou donât fly, you fall the wrong way.â Hehehehehehe <3
I HAVE MISSED KALADINâS SELF-DEPRECATING JOKES THAT ARE FUNNY BUT ALSO VERY PAINFUL god, I love him. I love him so much. idk if yâall know this about me.
...ok, but the punny banter between Kaladin and Shallan is SO NICE Why do they have to be mean to each other so often why canât they just be terrible sarcastic pun buddies?
âIn that polished breastplate and striking figure, with her talk of chasing bounties and traveling worlds. Sheâs deeply mysterious.â CAREFUL, SHALLAN, YOUR BI IS SHOWING.
âThe feeling was friendship, but neither of them had ever experienced it.âÂ
NOPE
NOOOOOOPPEE
WHO WANTS TO BET THIS SCENE IS SHIP FODDER DEAR LORD
Kaladin, darling, that shit is SO UNHEALTHY, DO NOT ENCOURAGE THIS
god
also like. darling. no. âI wish I didnât have to careâ DARLING ALL YOU DO IS CARE WHO WOULD YOU BE WITHOUT CARING
THIS IS GOOD FOR NEITHER OF YOU STOP
DO NOT ENCOURAGE THAT IN HER AND DO NOT WISH THAT FOR YOURSELF, jesus
lord, ok, well, Iâve read 100 pages, so on that disappointing character note, Iâm going to go to bed.
#op#Megan reads OB#Oathbringer spoilers#is it still spoilers? man have I come out the other end on spoilers? oh well#Stormlight Archive#Oathbringer#Brandon Sanderson#mmmmmm I HAVE OPINIONS#also cry a lot#I miss Bridge Four petition for my boys to come back

Megan Reads Oathbringer (part 10)
Hi, fronds.
I meant to keep going, I really did, but then That Thing happened and I was really upset and also a LOT of real life things happened, most good, but all busy, so. Bear with me. Weâll get through this monster eventually.
Part 10 encompasses pages 753-828 (previous parts)
Iâm still super upset about the Rift, yâall. Like. Ultimate #yikes.
ANYWAY, MOVING ON
âThat would give privacy to talkâ Okay, but you are still in a public space with a bunch of other people, you maaayybe shouldnât be, like...just using the kingâs name casually like youâre besties?
Since this is supposed to be a stealth mission, isnât it?
OKAY BUT ADOLIN JUST, UNPROMPTED OUT OF NO WHERE ASKING TO SEE KALADINâS SWORD
SHALLAN PLS âItâs a little smallâ GURL PLS
âKaladin liked them both...just not together.â Iâm just waiting for someone to yell at them to get a room. Kaladin is the most likely candidate and Iâm going to die laughing when it happens.
honestly, polyamory is the real solution here
Two Unmade.
which means we need two radiants to go fight them so Adolin WHEN ARE YOU MANIFESTING, MY BOY?
literally every time anyone mentions seeing a cremling--especially a weird-shaped cremling--I JUST GET REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE. WHAT IF ITâS 200-CREMLINGS-IN-A-TRENCH-COAT???
âBut Adolin had been raised by a mother with a fondness for hugsâ IâM SCREAMING THIS IS FINE IâM FINE. HE MUST MISS HER SO MUCH. HELP
wait, but donât we know for sure that shardblades can be stuff thatâs not swords? Like, didnât Syl turn into a spear at the end of WoR? So maybe the Radiants DID make other tools for their followers--maybe they did have shardhammers for building and shardbows for hunting and shardshovels for digging latrines, but after the Recreance, the spren died, so they lost the ability to change shape?
Worth thinking about, anyway.
âThank you for being you, Adolin.â âEveryone else was taken already.â BUDDYYYY. I LOVE HIM. HEâS SO GOOD AND WONDERFUL AND AAHH
OOHH, Shallan gets SQUIRES??? Somehow I didnât really think that the Lightweavers would be one of the orders that had squires.. they seem a solitary bunch.
Kaladin just...scooting down to sit next to the highmarshal without an invitation is. listen, heâs always been brave, but this is a different sort of bravery--doing something that might get you in trouble with social codes is different from running headlong across a not-set bridge into battle--and I know heâs done shit like this before, often, but not...not really in context of military superiors? I donâT KNOW THIS FEELS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT AND IâM EXCITED FOR HIM.
I find it ironic that the COVERED walkway from the Oathgate platform to the palace is called the SUNwalk, but thatâs fine.
Kishi is a really good name, dangit brandon stop taking all the really good names
Azureâs sword is a her?
YOU CANâT JUST SAY THAT, KALADIN!! âHow did you get here?â âI flew.â YOU CAnâT JUST. KAL, PLS
Iâm
loev
hem
âIâve given answers. If they arenât the ones you want, perhaps the questions arenât very good.â HELLO, I LOVE THIS BOY VERY MJUCH I DONâT KNWO IF YOU KNOW THIS ABOUT ME
wait come here chasing her
OH JESUS FUCK SHEâS VIVENNA ISNâT SHE
Sheâs from Somewhere Else and sheâs got a weird sword and her nameâs a color and Vivenna was SUPPOSED to show up in this book GODDAMNIT THERE SHE IS
heheheheheh gosh thatâs fun
...............pleasant.
I suppose it is the HEART of the revel, after all...
I really, really didnât sign up for a horror novel, idk why this keeps happening SIGH
You know youâve watched too many shitty action movies when the first thing you can think of when a guy gets thrown off the city wall isnât âoh god he got THROWN off a WALLâ and is, instead, âI bet tehyâd have used a Wilhelm Scream there hehâ
Listen, Kaladin, I know you CAN fight without flying, but you are currently fighting flying enemies, and you should absolutely go have an aerial battle with them, please, I just want you to be in more cinematic, badass fights pls.
OKAY, BUT MAYBE LAUNCHING YOURSELF OUT A WINDOW AT THIS FUSED GUY ISNâT THE BEST? WAY TO HAVE THE AERIAL BATTLE?
okay, I asked for this, but I rescind my request, BE CAREFUL BABE, PLS.
YES THE HEART
GO FOR THE HEART
YES
Y E S
âmy red lifeâ yah, ok, thatâs definitely Vivenna NICE
hnnnngggg, every time Kaladin summons the sylbade and, like, does the thing where he rests her on his shoulder all casual and intimidating I just melt, Iâm so
heâs so
and so
hnnnnnnnngggggg
mrrrghhh, OF COURSE Thereâs a gang that steals the food from Shallanâs informants and KILLS THEM EVEN THOUGH THEYâRE KIDS, uggghhh. Should have known.
Continues the trend of Shallan not really knowing anything about how life on the streets work, huh?
OK this lady with vine patterns in her skin whoâs Soulcasting for Azure? Actual Soulcaster suffering the effects to way too many years Soulcasting? OR........Radiant?
Honestly, I suspect literally everyone of being a radiant at this point.
pffffffffffffffffffffffttt HOID
of course.
but why did he help? Why is he helping? Whatâs his game?
âShe hadnât lived on the streets and she didnât know how to help people.â NICE YOU TO FINALLY REALIZE.
âThe only way to live without failure is to be of no use to anyone. Trust me, Iâve practiced.â COOL, NOW IâM SAD ABOUT HOID. Listen, I know his books are sooo far off, but the more things he says, the more I want to KNOW about him. Argh.
âMany people have suffered more, and they got along fine.â Oooohhh, Shallan, honey. No one ever taught you that the fact that other people have it worse does not negate your suffering.
Also, like. most people have not, in fact, had it worse than you, really. In the grand scheme of things, having to kill both your parents when they tried to kill you sucks a LOT, despite your privilege making the rest of everything better for you...
GOD BLESS ADOLIN KHOLIN, WHO, WHEN CONFRONTED WITH HIS FIANCEE IN PANTS, REACTS ONLY BY COMPLIMENTING HER COLOR COORDINATION AND RECOMMENDING HER COAT BE TAILORED A HAIR BETTER.
BLESS THIS GOLDEN SUNLIGHT BOY.
âYouâve been wanting an army to attack your palace, Your Majesty... well, weâre ready.â
YOU MIGHT BE READY, BUT IâM NOT
DO NOT JUST GO INVADE THE PALACE WITH AN ARMY
GOD, HOW MANY OF YOU ARE GOING TO DIE
hi, Adolin talking to his sword still makes my heart swell, every time, heâs JUST SO GOOD AND PURE AND WONDERFUL
SUNSHINE BOY
HE PUT ON HIS UNIFORM
IâM
I lov hiiiiimm
itâs not Shallan that needs to drive this one back.
Iâm still so enamored of this theory, Iâm sticking with it even if itâs wrong, I donât care. One Unmade per Radiant Order. Itâs gotta be one of the boys this time. The Heart... Kaladin is nothing but heart, itâs gotta be the windrunner Unmade.
No one tell me Iâm wrong, I will be SO DISAPPOINTED if it doesnât go down this way.
OH SHIT
OOOHH SHIIIT
OOOHHHH SHIIIIIIIT
ITâS THE THING FROM THE COVER THE WHATSITCALLED THE ROCK MONSTER
OH SHIIIIIITTT WE ALL GON DIE
THUNDERCLAST, THATâs the word phew glad I remembered
listen, Kaladin letting himself get smashed by a giant boulder just so he could Lash it away HURTS MY HEART
DONâT HURT KALADIN, 2K18
yuuuppppp itâs not a shardblade. Blergh, I didnât finish Warbreaker, is there some wacky shenanigans with Vivennaâs sword? Does it pull the Breath from people or smthn? ...Do people on Roshar have Breath?
Adolin is SUCH ! A GOOD! COMMANDER!
.........Iâm very glad that some of the palace guard arenât evil, but. why did time move weird for them, apparently?
Is this the second Unmade? Is this one something to do with warping time??
Iâm confuuuused.
oh
fuck
thatâs
hot
GLOWING KALADIN WITH A TWELVE FOOT LONG SYLSPEAR, FLYING THROUGH THE THROWN-OPEN DOUBLE DOORS??? YEAH IâM F I N E, T H I S I S F I N E
nooo donât split up
never split up
I donât want this
Adolin giving Kaladin the Bridge Four salute. Iâm cry.
oooooooooohh, Shallan summoned Pattern!! And sheâs not panicking! Iâm so proud of her ahh!!
Skar and Drehey just. continuing to save Adolin. Best bodyguards. Best friends. I love them so much.
mmmmmmmmmmm
I donât
want this, this is intense this is A LOT
aaaaahhh fuck Kaladinâs wall squad came with. They are SO Going to Die, and I WI LL C RY
sheâs singing? So... sheâs... hm. What happened to the queen?
I STILL DONâT THINK SHALLAN CAN DEFEAT THIS UNMADE
ohnohecallshissonGav
Iâm
ohnohecallshiswifeDearOne
Iâm
Elhokar, please
you are so small, just. Be brave.
KALADIN, YOU MADE SYL KILL A SPREN??? I donât care that it was an evil spren, thatâs. You canât.. Syl. Donât make Syl kill her family, pls, Iâm suffering.
oh no
what ancient spren, WHICH ONE, AESUDAN.
AND HOW
HOW DID YOU BIND VOIDSPREN TO PEOPLE
Iâm assuming thatâs what it is
IâM CONCERNED
Yelig-nar and Ashertmarn. 1. both of those are terrible star wars names, Brandon, you usually do better. 2. Are those BOTH Unmade? Or is Yelig-nar Aesudanâs...voidspren?
stormspren?
Ancient Parshendi Ancestor of Evil spren?
âI have taken the gemstone into me.â WELL, THATâS A STEAMING PILE OF # Y I K E S
mmm yeah, no, she didnât do it. Shallan didnât defeat it, it retreated. Or was called away or something. Weâre deeeefinitely going to have to deal with that again.
oh shit is this the other one?
this is the other one
Yelid-nar is Aseudanâs Parshendi Ancestorâs name. Sja-anat is the other Unmade.
Iâm scared.
ON THE STAIRWELL? GoDDAMNIT THATâS A TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE PLACE FOR A FIGHT
 no
n
o
donât
make kaladin
kill his parshendi friends
please
oh fuck, Moash is with Kaladinâs parshendi friends, isnât he?
damn, I AM NOT READY FOR THIS
yeah, no SHIT The heart fled. I TOLD you Shallan couldnât defeat that one.
but why is THIS one helping her? OR IS SHE
WHAT IS HAPPENING
GOOD DONâT KILL EACH OTHER PLEASE.
oh Kaladin
âHeâs always been able to trick himself into seeing a battle as us against them. Protect those you love. Kill everyone else. But...but they didnât deserve death. None of them did.â HI THIS IS MY GHOST TYPING, I AM DEAD NOW. Kaladin has come so far, from scraping along, doing everything he could to breathe, let alone survive, and now--look at him. Look at him realizing that everyone, everyone is doing the same thing he is. They are all of them fighting to survive, they are all of them fighting to protect what they love.
Everyone is the hero of their own story, even if they are a villain to you.
God, this book is so literary, itâs so strong. Be better. Do better than those who have wronged you. See yourself in those around you, even your enemy, and do better. Take responsibility for who you are and what you do and who you fight. God, THIS BOOK.
Also, Kaladin trying to stop the fighting, Iâm crying.
THEY ARE ALL DYING. I TOLD YOU THEY WOULD AND I TOLD YOU I WOULD CRY AND HERE I AM. SOBBING.
noooo
no no nono
Iâ donât
want this
put it
back
Iâm
Elhokar waS SO CLOSE OH M Y GOD HE
ONE MORE WORD OF THE IDEAL GOD DAMNIT
Moash
of course
he always wanted to kill the king
fuck
I knew this was coming because I got fucking spoiled but it still hurt like a punch to the gut
FUCK, HE KNEW KALADIN WAS THERE AND HE DID IT ANYWAY
god
f u ck
Iâm
he knew. he saluted. he didnât even pause.
DAMMNIT, MOASH, YOUâRE BETTER THAN THIS.
god, Kaladin screamed, Iâm
not okay
So much for Kholinar, god
âIf we engage the device, weâll be caught in a disaster.â ARENâT YOU ALREADY
...sapphire is windrunners, right? so why is the epitaph.........itâs a sapphire recording. A windrunner. âAm I not supposed to want to help people?â Does that mean...what is the Fourth Ideal of the Windrunners? The order of people who help people. Why...would their Fourth Ideal...not? be about helping people?
UGH, the radiant recordings make me SO NERVOUS ALL THE TIME.
1. I hate Taravangian. A Lot.
2. Hereâs a thing: Navani spent a whole book and a half thinking her eldest child was dead, but holding out hope she was alive, and getting to have that vindication when Jasnah showed up. How...how long is she going to hold out hope that Elhokar somehow made it out alive only to have that shattered when the rest of them show up and he doesnât?
ALSO FUN FACTS, DALINAR PROBABLY NOW THINKS ADOLIN, ELHOKAR, AND KALADIN--THREE OF HIS FOUR SONS--ARE DEAD, PROBABLY, SO THATâS FINE, IâM FINE.
EVERYTHINGâS FINE.
OH FUCK IT TOOK THEM TO SHADESMAR
WHY
OH MY GOD
WHEREâS JASNAH WHEN YOU NEED HER, SHE CAN NAVIGATE THIS SHIT
also !!!! PATTERN AND SYL AND ?????? ???? ?? ADOLINâS?? SPREN????? PLEASE SAY ITâS ADOLINâS SPREN. HIS BLADE. WHATEVER. PLEASE.
LET ADOLIN HAVE A SPREN 2K18
god, Vivenna: HARD SAME, GIRL
also, I forgot that she would have had to have come through the Cognitive Realm to get from Nalthis to Roshar, but heeeeheheheh yeah. She knows what sheâs doing here, or at the very least has an idea. Excellent.
but FUCK
SHADESMAR
AND EVERYONE THINKS THEYâRE DEAD
and dear fucking god, Moash, youâre better than this, why must you continue to make REALLY BAD DECISIONS.
these are my priorities
leave me alone.
#op#Megan reads OB#Oathbringer spoilers#Stormlight Archive#Oathbringer#god it's been a HOT MINUTE#but I'm going to try to make time to finish this#I can't say how fast the last two parts will go but I'm Trying to finish#I think I'm over the hump anyway...past the Thing I got spoiled for that made me not want to keep going#but here we are. I made it. so hopefully I'll get through the rest more easily#also I have a MUCH BETTER job and living situation now so I'm less stressed generally so I've got more spoons to lb#so fingers crossed I don't get derailed again and we knock this monster out!
