can i have a word

[lemon-natalia]

Nona the Ninth Reaction - John 8:1 🐄

the message now reads: ‘THE/TOWER/HA’ . i’m sticking with the assumption that ‘tower’ is a full word and ‘ha’ is the beginning of the next until proven otherwise

okay and now it’s talking about falling asleep within the dream, which is confusing as all hell. whoever this narrator is, ‘her body was a mystery to her’, which is very reminiscent of the themes throughout of Nona wondering who she is. i really do think that this narrator has to be Alecto somehow or on some level, maybe because of Harrow falling asleep in the Tomb at the end of HtN?

also hammocks made of ‘baby-soft skin’. Ew. 

and an interesting point of reference, John’s eyes are explicitly black w/ white rings on them, so this dream is set after Alecto becomes his cavalier. although it might mean nothing, it’s also very interesting considering just how significant eye colour has been that the torchlight makes the white ring ‘a satiny gold’, given his eyes were originally gold - i wonder if it might have something to do with the type of shared Lyctorhood he and Alecto have going on?

honestly if someone came on the internet showing off that they could control dead bodies or whatever, i would think it was a deepfake or some other trolling as well. i love that apparently there are still Flat Earthers around despite having the tech to have some kind of space station on Mars existing

its ironic people calling him the Antichrist initially, given that he eventually adopts the exact opposite vibe of being a deity. and the whole religious/God/Christ associations aren’t even something that he solely adopted post-Resurrection himself either, even here people, and John’s group of friends, are explicitly comparing him to Jesus and using Christianity as a basis of what to do

and uh yeah, realistically someone broadcasting that they can raise the dead and heal everyone would probably be considered a cultist not just by the government, but by most people honestly 

and we’ve got A— Junior, (presumably) Alfred, joining the team as well, who apparently went from being a hedge fund manager in one life to swordfighting in the next. wild. 

‘she’d adored being a cop’ i like Pyrrha well enough so far, but yikes 

even though John’s still getting to grips with his powers, and can’t do proper resurrections yet, he still seems a lot more powerful than other necromancers later, given he’s able to build an entire wall out of perpetual bone, something which from what I remember Harrow treated as a massive achievement at the end of GtN 

what the actual fuck did those cows and sheep do to you man!!! is this why Canaan House has all that horned skull imagery, as like a weird little tribute to how cow murder contributed to him becoming Emperor. maybe the real cow murder was the friends that we made along the way

‘they treated us like we’d done some kind of huge crime’ MY DUDE.

Random Mario headcanon: while Peach does have powerful magic, she actually doesn’t know how to use it, at least not by herself. Basically to use her magic she needs to trigger a “spark” of sorts, but has no idea how to do so and as a result can’t use it unless someone else triggers that spark for her.

Explaining how it works in the games’ canon and giving some more details on my Toadstool magic hcs (spoilers for pretty much all the RPGs + Showtime’s ending; 1k words below):

- In Paper Mario 64, Kammy calls Peach’s action “wishes from normal people”, meaning she’s not using any particular magic.

- In Thousand Years Door, she uses healing magic upon regaining some control from the Shadow Queen. Considering the Shadow Queen is using magic, possibly Peach’s magic, it means Peach could have been able to access it in the moment.

- In Mario and Luigi Partners in Time, the Cobalt Star could have been the one with the magic to imprison Elder Princess Shroob, or it triggered Peach’s magic. Though the fact Peach can summon stars at the end kinda shows she can use magic on her own.

- In Bowser’s Inside Story and Dream Team, Peach only uses magic when Starlow is using her own magic as well, meaning Starlow could be the one triggering hers.

- Ok I’ll be honest I can’t explain it for Super Mario RPG other than “she’s not actually using magic” or “Geno is a spirit of the stars so his presence would unlock her powers”, though in that second case it doesn’t even fully work since the whole point of the team looking for stars is that wishes can’t be granted anymore.

- In Showtime, Peach’s magic ribbon comes from Stella, same for the outfits. Her Radiant transformation also comes from the hopes and dreams of the Theets fused with Sparkles and Stella. I could also see Stella triggering Peach’s magic in the case of the ribbon + Radiant.

- In Super Princess Peach, you could imagine that the Vibe Scepter is basically letting out “particles” of emotions in the air, and when one touches someone, it affects them. For Peach, her magic would protect her by absorbing those particles, but it also causes her magic to accumulate them.

Because of that, whenever she feels a strong emotion, all those particles her magic gathered get released at once, thus giving her those powers. So the powers wouldn’t come from her using her magic willingly, instead her magic does its own thing and she has to realize it and work around it.

As a result, she can control when the powers get triggered by keeping calm as much as possible and thinking of happy/sad/angering things when needed (or other methods like pinching herself to cry or asking Perry to insult her to get angry, dumb funny things like that).

This could also explain why there’s a timer that then needs to be refilled when using emotions or even why emotional enemies don’t get powers like she does but instead just move faster or in a different pattern, as they would have less emotions in them since the first particle that touches them would influence them.

- In case it needs to be said, everyone in the sports games have special abilities so I don’t consider those to be her using magic.

So yeah, while there are obviously instances of her using healing magic that negates this idea, it still holds up to an extent. And it’s especially interesting to headcanon when you consider how many RPG villains know how to exploit her magic for themselves (Cackletta, Fawful, the Shadow Queen, Antasma tried before turning to Bowser, I like to think the Chaos Heart was born from an exchange of two widely different magics with the wedding being the ritual needed to create the heart specifically).

Going deeper into this idea, I hc that in the past all Toads had magic but the Royal Family eventually discouraged everyone from using it aside from them. History books would say it’s to protect the population, the truth is that the Monarchy wanted that power for themselves and/or were afraid of the people taking over the throne if they can be more powerful than them (especially since I hc that it’s common for rulers to marry citizens, as long as said citizen is able to handle the work that goes with becoming royalty; this is also why each kingdom still has a ruler the same species as them after centuries of those kingdoms existing).

There would still be some Toads who kept their magic (like the doctor from Bowser’s Inside Story) but they would be incredibly rare on top of trying to keep it a secret just in case them having it is forbidden as there would be no written law saying what is and isn’t allowed on that front.

As such, the knowledge of how to use these powers is told from parent to child, with sometimes another person being given the info in case the rulers die before their heir is of age to learn. In Peach’s case, her parents’ death was a complete surprise, meaning no-one had that knowledge.

So for the longest time, she didn’t even think she had magic. And when the RPGs happened, she would’ve tried to use it herself but can’t find the thing triggering its use, taking a while to come to terms with the fact that she could never use it by herself, but that doesn’t mean she can’t be a hero in a different way.

And for those asking why doesn’t she use a Koopa wand, this goes into this idea of the Chaos Heart being born from mixing Koopa and Toadstool magic. She’s afraid that trying to learn the Koopa ways of using magic might cause another catastrophe, which it probably would.

Last small thing, outside of angst the main reason for this headcanon is to justify both Peach never using magic outside of RPGs and the fact she goes from being able to yeet Bowser out the window in one game to being completely helpless against two paratroopas holding her in the very next game of the same series. Basically it’s to explain the inconsistencies with it.

It can also justify the Mushroom Kingdom not falling into the hands of Koopas, Goombas etc before Mario and Luigi were around despite Toads being unable to defend themselves in the present time (basically the Toadstool family was able to use their magic to boost the strength of their army, which Peach can’t do).

CME 17x10 thoughts (and prayers)

Jesus Christ I’m finally home after accidentally sabotaging my own morning (okay sabotage may be harsh. I have a job now that I signed all the necessarily paperwork lol but I had to go around the city for hours. This Pacific time Midnight airtime is ridiculous, that’s 9 am for me. By then I usually have to pretend to be a functioning adult human being).

I don’t really do this usually, but it is the finale, so. I will try my hand and liveblogging. This will be long.

Some preliminary thoughts though:

I think Church and Jade both survive and it’s Mila who dies

I just don’t see any of the main cast dying. Maybe Rossi, but this show is attached to its actors so much that this would only happen if Joe wanted out, and I’m not sure I can see that happening?

the last Gold Star Peter B. is most probably Peter Bailey

I don’t trust Phil Coulson the Director

Voit has to die. I think. Narratively he just can’t live. So my guess is that he will be killed (maybe on FBI higher up orders) and it will be framed as a suicide. But the BAU would obvious know that doesn’t match his profile cue S18

Well then.

55 minutes hmm, okay. I thought we would get at least an hour, there’s so much going on.

Connection Lost. For all of them??

20 minutes Rebecca and Garcia has been sitting in that office, waiting. That does wonders for someone’s nerves I bet

needs to reboot the system (“have you tried turning it off and on again?” xd)

I’M sorry they didn’t know the building just fucking exploded? xdxd

also still Minimal Loss vibes

okay but everyone seemed fine on the promo pics (minus Emily) so how if they all exploded

I don’t buy it lol

halluciVoit is back

the team is okay

okay see. how lucky do you have to be though to survive an explosion without a scratch

unless they pull a Dallas and the next 30 minutes is just Dave dying and dreaming shit lol that would be iconic

okay Mila surrendered maybe she’s not dying. But how does Rossi get rid of the head wound?

oooh okay so it is a kidnapping situation. Because Jade still thinks the BAU is in cahoots with Church

“you’ve been charged with pedophilia” love that we are not sugarcoating it lol

OKAY so I didn’t think it would be so abrupt. But okay dude deserved it.

Ooh the shot of the dripping blood as he’s carted away? Brilliant.

are we about to see Emily get yeeted

that was a very mild blast without the sound effects lol

are you taking some of the voltage? that’s..a choice. I’m also unsure if that would even work

again with the camera, literally shaking off the memory how cool

listen I know we are supposed to be scared for Emily but it’s Emily. Not even she looks phased lol

holy shit the writing remembers past events. Unbelievable

okay I was recently talking about Person of Interest so that’s probably why the scene is in my mind, but whoever knows about it: This is straight up Vigilance and Control in the mock trial in S3

okay so since Peter B. is most definitely Bailey I’m guessing that’s how Emily will eventually get through to them? By the fact the she knew Doug?

criminal mastermind Brian Garrity reveal when

are you serious? that’s a prison? That’s a vacation home. I've slept in worse places that I paid for

HE HAS A MICROWAVE?

is this actually a thing in America? Okay not my business but damn

“the only thing I miss is you” VoitxRossi is sailing

yes it’s definitely Doug’s brother

yeeah

see that’s a problem because I’m pretty sure Emily holds herself responsible too xd

“does this body language tell you anything” yeah that you’re a fucker

lil bro kinda low key looks like a young Jonathan Groff

so where were you at the funeral? flashback to Emily meeting the parents but not him I’m guessing?

okay flashback but not about that

“really?” “No,” xdxdxdxdx pls. yes. thank you. OG moment. God. Love that

“You scream only child.” Emily. You’re an only child.

"I have a sister" No you don’t. Where did that come from.

Okay was she manipulating him or did they just drop this out of nowhere breaking 17 seasons of previous lore because both are a legitimate possibility.

“why weren’t you at Doug’s funeral” thank you

yeah see I like that this is coming back. Because the DOJ really dropped the ball on Benjamin Reeves

all that said Clark Gregg is still suspicious

so the teenager who is rebellious and anti-government gets into juvie where the government paid private military company trains him to be an assassin through abuse. Nice job there xd

“I’m not threatening your career” love the energy

you literally didn’t have to keep any of that from the BAU though.

THAT’s when you knew you had a crisis? Bruh

“a pilates instructor” xdxd Rebecca’s wit is underappreciated tbh

“he may or may not have information” “fuck you” 💀

are we having a discussion about the real life confines of four dimensional chess. My guy that’s a meme.

Aww JJ basically admitting they are going to get fucked over but hey it’s Emily, they gotta

“he wanted to wear comfy clothes” this bitch.

“back at it like a crack addict” you know what I retroactively would like to witness the birth of lines like this in the writer’s room

 I mean yeah sure but child trafficking does exist tho xd

okay they are cute…

“god forbid you end up on that wall” uff.

aaah you were taking the photos. But who were the guys working for you? I was absolutely sure it was Church. He had the resources, you don’t

see this is where the conspiracy theory conversations become a bit funny, because Emily is completely right, they are about amplification of fear, doubt etc. Also they help reconcile with events that we can’t make logical sense of. It’s honestly an incredibly human thing to do and they have always been around, they are not new.

That said when you introduce shit like the FBI or the CIA a lot of things that used to be “conspiracy theories” have since been reveled to have been true 💀 so people being distrustful towards these organizations are not that unreasonable when you think about it. And even in-universe the BAU has done shady shit? So.

“babe” xdxd okay so maybe Jade is dying. They have built her up to be sympathetic but they are slowly losing that angle narratively? Slowly tho

oh? is that how we’ll get to the bottom of BAUgate?

“Jenny”. can JJ slap him, just once?

the way everyone is so done with him

sometimes I do like Tyler

bit of a CGI house there lol

not Garcia psyching him out

chocolate thunder

oh, Oh?

“I put you in” I?. I??

oh my god. no. that’s vile. even within an already vile context. people have been pointing out the similarities but jesus christ

okay Emily is doing talk no jutsu about Doug

told you she does feel responsible

oooh. oh.

where do people buy so much C4

(hypothetically of course)

yeah I mean obviously not going to happen. But I get the plan there

also the team either knows that’s the endgame of they are just being very optimistic about Emily still being alive lol

of course it’s a trap. Was that really such a big revelation Dave xd

“who think we are the enemy” Tara. Babe. You kind of are to them xd

okay maybe they will survive this. Or Pete might. Jade could still kill herself. Or each other.

yeah she knows 😭

Radiohead?

passive aggressive action report

thank you for calling him out on this

no I still don’t trust Clark Gregg

is Emily going to low key blackmail the Director xd that would be very stupid. And also incredibly in character

yeah they have pretty much said it before that Tyler would be the “next generation”

“Hooray you’re alive” xd

Rebecca just got a haircut? She looks nice. But how much time had passed then.  

“the shoes” 💀 that’s so fair

oh his “ghost” just standing in the bg

okay so he either escapes, in which case the showrunners completely lied about leaving him behind in S18 lol or he dies. Maybe he gets shanked. A girl can dream

I was joking xdxdxdx 💀

uff not the bleach

oh my god he really got shanked. holy shit

I mean yes thank you

but holy shit

so we have zero idea on what happens in S18. Zero. that’s nice.

Okay, closing thoughts. It was a good episode, but a bit underwhelming on the conspiracy side of things? And as a finale? I mean they kept saying how it’s “bigger than we thought” but it really wasn’t? Also it kind of takes away from the suspense that we know none of these characters are ever dying lol But ultimately it did close off loose ends. But I really would have appreciated some implication that Voit was killed on someone’s orders to continue some kind of a plot thread? Realistically the writers probably haven’t decided on that yet lol Did like that we acknowledged that the Gold Star kids were victims but…at the end of the day who was the perpetrator?

No, I still don’t trust Clark Gregg. Also can we get back to Emily having a sister what is that about

[the-sky-is-my-home]

alright because it looks like they're losing by like 1 vote rn, here's some AtsuAranKita propaganda for @hqrarepairtournament

I truly believe they're the ultimate polyship. like every combination is great on its own but also adding the third only makes it better and also each individual member gets exactly what they need.

AtsuAran - childhood friends to lovers. literally what's not to like? from the "oh he just sees me as a friend" to the safety and comfort they get when they're together, knowing the other has already seen them at their worst moments and still loves them, so there's nothing to worry about. plus they're a comedy duo who miss each other so much when they're on separate teams :( they just belong together!!

AtsuKita - textbook definition of opposites attracting! both of them think the world of each other and they balance each other out perfectly. prime material for both of them to think "oh he's not into me because I'm nothing like the things he values" when in reality they see the other's strengths as extra amazing because those are their own weak points.

AranKita - perfect highschool sweethearts. they just vibe with each other. kings of quietly appreciating each other and shyly linking hands as they walk home together. this is the romance kita's grandma dreams of for him. they're so stable and supportive and good at respecting each other's boundaries you wouldn't believe they haven't been married for years.

But! Also!

Kita is here to kickstart things for AtsuAran. He makes Aran realize he's not actually okay with third wheeling all the time (whether that's for the twins as kids or for the blossoming AtsuKita romance), and Atsumu that taking Aran for granted is like the dumbest thing he could possibly do (and he's done many dumb things). Kita can point out the bad habits they've accumulated over the years and just gotten used to, to make them change themselves and their relationship for the better.

Aran can mediate between Kita and Atsumu. He understands each of them better than they understand each other, especially at first. He can bridge the gap between them when both of them think it's too big, and save them a lot of heartbreak, especially since they both trust him so much and confide their feelings to him.

Atsumu is like, AranKita's own personal hypeman. like both of them suffer from what I call "side character syndrome" where they think of themselves as secondary and not that special even when it's completely untrue (see Kita going "I'm just some guy, a human invited to a banquet of monsters" like every single of those 'monsters' isn't afraid of him and thinks he's literally flawless. and Aran is one of the best players, literally bokuto level but he's like "yeah this is the miya twin team. let me narrate their flashback, I'm just kinda also here"). but Atsumu would have none of this. he'll casually assume Aran will be there when he makes it to the olympics. he'll be so happy and proud and in awe every single time he gets to eats rice Kita grew. also he's the one to get things moving. after the 20th time walking home hand in hand he'll be like "okay I waited long enough give me a KISS I'm going insane here" while AranKita on their own would've waited like another 100 times until either of them would've brought up the possibility of a kiss even tho they totally want it.

And!!!

Aran gets to have a bf for any situation he could need one. Atsumu for endless, in-depth volleyball discussions at times of night where they should be sleeping, and for fun nonsense that makes him feel like a kid again. Kita for some peace and quiet and a rational, realistic perspective on whatever problems he faces. And of course, one bf to complete his jokes and one to laugh at them. This is what he needs.

Atsumu is a needy bf for sure, but with two partners who are more mature and patient than him, he never has to feel like he's too much, and they can reign in his worst impulses. (also both of them help with his most important platonic relationship because Kita can help him understand osamu's decision to quit and the value of making food, while Aran being in the pro leagues means Atsumu isn't alone there, he still has one of the people he started volleyball with right there, making it easier to accept). and with Aran around, he can always be boke instead of tsukkomi, which he likes way better, and with Kita around, he'll never have to worry about nobody laughing at their jokes (yes this is very important).

Kita loves and needs his routines, which both of his bfs are used to and know not to disturb. But they also bring some change and new, unexpected things with them whenever they return to him to keep him from being stagnant. Kita gets to look outside the bubble of his humble life when he watches them on TV and then proudly brag about them to anyone who will listen. and you guessed it, most importantly, they make him laugh. with how happy he always looks when they're around or he's talking about them, nobody thinks he's a robot or scary anymore.

hopefully you all see my vision now. please. vote for them.

[oswednesday]

in my 14 hour sleep i had this wild dream that was like i was apart of a superhero team but i didnt have anything that was practical for really extreme stuff, it was never made clear in the dream what blasts i had, it was just Not flight or speed or strength, so i was left at the base during a really serious fight and i was like =_= like i knew it was for the best, but man, also i was being like stalked? like a bunch of weird like coincidences which had grow into our right admissions like im following you haha secret admirer kind of stuff so im like walking about the base and the team forgot to tell me they had some guy locked up in a room to deal with later and his whole deal was like he fed on concepts, and he could replace what he fed on with concepts of his own? so he convinced me to open the door this way, and based on how he was acting and the circumstances it was like oh this must be the guy lurking about who they caught and now hes going to turbo kill me doing like a whole villain speech thing but we ended up like chilling out and vibing instead after that like i didnt get his internal side of things but it was like he had a change of heart mindwiping me while i was laying on the floor being like yeah that is fucked up, its not really the same thing but see i always get left behind during his speech and the others got back and it was like oh hey this guy is chill see im vouching for him hes going to willingly enter like rehabilitation the next part of the dream im at a long meeting room table and then we are all going out to a festival together and i step out in shoes that just arnt happening, im like dont wait up im going to change my shoes (again no speed or flight so id be trailing behind anyway fgf) and go back in and then im totally blindsided and the dream reveals who was actually stalking me, he was like this tall guy whose costume was like an giant eyeball for a head, and he was wearing like a cape robe situation, his name was obscura and he was going on about how long hes been at this and how he could make it so that the only person who remembered i exist at all is him and i woke up before anyone could save me!!

Spider-Man Read-Through 014: Let's get Morb'd! (ASM 100-102, Ann 8)

MASTERPOST

Dear readers,

as I'm writing these lines, the 13th part of this read-through (specifically, its first half) has been liked by 5 accounts. What happened? Did people like my gay jokes? Did they like the improved presentation? Did I just get lucky?

How mysterious.

What's also mysterious is the promise of a twist ending in issue 100, although if you've read the title, you probably can see where this is going.

In this set of issues, Peter gets himself in a peculiar threesome admist dubious facial surgery, improved dexterity, and a series of yeetings.

Yeah, join in on the fun, Peter!

Gil Kane is once again the pencil artist for the issue, and it shows.

What happened to Peter's face? What happened to his silhouette? This is truly saddening.

The issue is very simple. Peter has apparently been working on a serum for years to kill his spider powers, and he tests it on himself. Ensues a lengthy dream/hallucination about him battling his old foes...

What really matters is the final page, of course.

You know, Stan Lee is often very fair. A few issues ago, he teased that Spidey's identity would be revealed to someone. Not only did it get revealed to most major character, but even though Peter managed to convince everyone that it was a mistake, it did have big consequences down the line. So you've got to give the man props: he's honest about it.

Kane's called "artist as usual" in issue #101, which I'm not happy about. Gwen calls Peter to invite him to watch the R-rated flick of his choice, and she name-drops Love Story and I Am Curious (Yellow). I'm actually stumped that Stan would name drop these (or accept them), but go off I guess.

I guess this is reflective of how Gwen wants their relationship to become physical.

The layout is confusing in this issue, I often read the bubbles out of order. You might consider it a testimony on Peter's state of mind, but it doesn't mean that it's fun to actually read.

The geographical layout is just as confusing, by the way.

Peter himself is kind of annoying, actually. His self-hatred reaches new heights here.

Not far from there, Morbius is in a boat and is very thirsty. And when a vampire thirsts, he sucks.

...I wanted this to rhyme. Oh well.

So Morbius arrived at Connors's lab and established it as his new home, and I'm thoroughly confused by the total unhinged vibes from this issue. It feels like the team tried to be creative, poetic perhaps, but it's so different from what came before, that it ends up being pretty tedious.

So the girls are fighting, and Spidey says this.

I thought this couldn't get any gayer, but then Connors arrives, sees Morbius, gets stressed, and you know what happens when he's stressed...

So fun times ahead!

It is at this point that I notice that the reason why my scans don't include readers letters is that they're from recent reissues.

Cue me screaming at the heavens.

HOWEVER, FEAR NOT, DEAR READERS. I have Alternate Sources(TM).

The drugs storyline has been very-well received overall.

In issue #101, there's this gem:

Honey, you've got a big storm coming :-)

The GG would yet again have a case of amnesia, and of course, we all know what happens in a few dozens issues... In the answer, Stan teases a future plot with the GG in the coming months. Color me intrigued...

Anyway, what really matters is that in issue #102, the Lizard has shojo eyes.

So anyway, Morbius yeets himself.

See what I mean by the confusing nature of the layout? A lot of text, and the bubbles keep going over panels. This is too much, Gil Kane. Far too much!!!

While they prepare a serum, Connors thinks that the name of Morbius reminds him of something...

Surely, it couldn't be...

But could it?

Let's spare the thought. Connors would prefer not to remember this whole debacle.

The Marvel editors must have been really fond of flashbacks, because after #100's 90% of recollection and hallucinations, we get dreams that are in fact Morbius's past. He remembers how his colleague thought he was gay with his lab partner.

Let it be known that Morbius hateth harlots

So Spidey's on his way to find Morbius, but Connors gets his Lizard persona back and proceeds to yeet himself off from Spidey's arms. This is becoming a thing.

On page 26 (what the hell, what's happening?), the artists suddenly remember that there's an audience for the soap part of these comics, and this part has been severely lacking in this arc, so we get one page of Gwangst (Gwen angst).

Meanwhile, J.J. Jameson declares that the Daily Bugle is in trouble. I wonder if it's reflective of the team's fear of ASM becoming obsolete. If only they knew! (Let's not tell them about Paul.)

Roy Thomas, your urge to bask in dubious poetry doesn't make this set of issue any better.

The issue ends with Peter losing his additional arms and Morbius "dying" (hahaha).

Stan explains that the magazine became more expensive due to inflation, but that they also made it bigger to justify the price.

Well, I personally prefer a shorter format. This was far too much, far too uninteresting (not for a lack of trying!), and outright unpleasant to read.

Annual #8 is a reprint of #46 so I'm not interested in re-reading it.

The next issue... Uh. Well.

Ka-Zar is back? Yay...?

*cries* Give me back Romita...!!!!

Anchorman: the legend of Ron Burgundy

This is one of those movies that your dad shows you when you're 15 and he remembers it as good manly fun but you feel icky sitting thru it and feel bad for laughing at its jokes, then mostly forget about the bad parts when 5 years later you notice that it's free with your cracked youtube app. Just me? No. According to youtube, it's somehow rated PG-13. Different times, man.

Tl;dr: this one is worse than you remember. 4/10

Will Ferrell plays the titular protag-kun, a popular local news anchorman. His news team is a deeply closeted gay cowboy, this mostly reasonable cologne fanatic, and an autist whose IQ is canonically 43.

The actual protagonist of the film is burgundy's "love" "interest" whose name I forgot already since her name isn't on the poster. Her dream is to anchor on national news, and she will have to stand up to institutional sexism, personal misogyny, and casual sexual harassment at every turn.

She is hired on, the boys all make moves on her, she fights them back brilliantly. Ron doesn't just want her body, he "loves" her (meaning, he wants sex but would like to be all romantic about it). Through a fair amount of bullshittery mixed with some genuine chemistry, they hit it off and make out. This is shown thru a short interpretive montage of them riding white unicorns thru heaven over rainbow pathways.

Despite promising to keep their relationship private at work, our "hero" immediately brags to the guys and tries to explain how it feels to be in love.

One day disaster strikes as burgundy is late to work due to being a oblivious pretentious asshole (he throws a burrito out his window while driving and makes the motorcyclist next to him crash, then the biker throws his dog off a bridge as punishment). Despite the men's reservations, our hero fills in for her boyfriend and delivers the news. She's great and everybody loves her. Then Ron barges in and is horrified that a _woman_ (gasp) would take his job. They shout about their misunderstandings for a while.

Despite continuing to work together, their relationship worsens further. Eventually they physically fight, and he is fired and sinks into an alcoholic depression.

End of the movie. Time to shake things up. A panda at the zoo is giving birth, this is the biggest thing to ever happen and must be reported upon. She goes looking for the perfect angle, but a random evil reporter dude knocks her into the pen of Kodiak Bears. They can't find her so end up calling Ron. He glows up quick, gets the band back together, marches down to the zoo, find the girl in with the barely-sleeping bears, and jumps in like a dumbass. His dog returns from presumed watery demise and talks the bear down (dogs and bears share a language in this world ig). They get lifted out and he lets her report on the panda birth. The. Fucking. End. Carry on Wayward Son plays over way-too-short credits (there are lots of cameos I think weird als in this one but I can't find his name on well).

le Review:

4/10 do straight men really?

I liked: her arc. 43 IQ bro was a good guy. The vibe is mostly goofy and whimsical.

The male gaze here is overpoweringly putrid. Burgundy isn't the worst, but he's still pretty bad. There's a point early on when she points out to him that he has a very visible erection in the middle of the office and he hasn't even the sense to be embarrassed.

I guess his arc is accepting that women can be equals in the workplace even if they're sex objects.

I guess her arc is accepting that she can be in love with him _and_ achieve her dream.

"toxic masculinity" is not strong enough to describe this filum. This is Nuclear Masculinity, the all-poisoning radioactive cumstain of Gilgamesh himself (but even less gay somehow).

The ending is reductively egalitarian, to the point of advocating pure tokenism. Yeah this one woman is really good at her job so let's make her a public figure to feel better about ourselves. We care.

Ugh.

[m1ckeyb3rry]

AHAHAAH IM CRYING Richard cranium is actually so genius but so out of pocket but props to whoever thought of that alternative name LMAO

Bro I exclusively associate that “Who is that fine babe” audio with this one tiktok about Yuta and the cockroach curse from the culling games LMFAOO (hoping you’ve seen it before it was pretty viral iirc) but I’m laughing reader and Tullia calling otoya out and I imagine he’d be super defensive like “NO??? WTF IM ONLY INTO WOMEN AND SHE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE HIM HER BEAUTY MARK IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF HER FACE”

No he SO WOULD LMAO the epitome of someone who would do that shit otoya being so naive he’s like “yeah Chris Prince is my homie!! Look at all this swag he’s got I’m even one of his top subscribers” and then he gets duped

Otoya having his eevee battle hounding to channel the dark type LMFAOO that’s so in character and Karasu sneaking in and taking the gible is SO FUNNY reader and otoya like “WTF yk garchomp is a ground type right???” “I thought you only wanted flying types???” and karasus just like “I never said that you shouldn’t assume things about people (⁎⁍̴̆Ɛ⁍̴̆⁎)” it’s even funnier if you imagine that while otoya and reader are fighting to determine who gets to battle it Karasu doesn’t even have to whittle its hp down the gible just likes him and hops into the ball (maybe it’s the hair affinity yk) but wait about otoyas greninja idk how realistic this is to this au because like you said he probably ends up using sylveon as his signature but imagine he eventually got to ash-greninjaify is greninja

TEAM X that’s such a big brain name the amount of thinking you put into naming things never fails to amaze me the whole luna scion of santalune too

There’s now only two vibes to Barou edits pokemon au angst or hot crack (every now and then I go back and watch that Barou edit you showed me before like I can’t stop thinking abt it) I’m crying for multiple reasons but wait this is actually kinda funny we have the that satosugu edit audio vibe for the pokemon au and then the nasty dog audio for oaeu barou the difference in vibes is insane READER WAKING UP FROM THE DREAM goodbye that’s my last straw

HOUNDOOM CUKTURE LMFAOAOSHAHA uhhh do you mean behavior..? I lowk feel like there might’ve been another word that fits too but that’s the first one I thought of but I’ve also seen the word ritual be applied to animals Karasu thinking she’s dead and being scared shitless too maybe he’s tearing up in a rare moment of mediocrity (by his terms ig ykwim) time to brainstorm od a dumbass meeting I’m sure you’ll cook with that

OOH RIGHT almost forgot that people irl also breed pokemon to get shinies (myself included) ok but you read my mind when I first thought abt it too one that came to mind was shiny metagross…also because I was like wait its colors kinda slap right??? Also think my brain was primed by us thinking about Steven stone too LMAOO the blue accent on the mega one also just kinda adds to the vibe yk but wait also Lowk mega shiny houndoom’s red parts really match Barou with his red highlights in LOL too bad we don’t rlly see him alive to fight with mega houndoom yuki with shiny steelix would def steal the show LOL

I wasn’t aware that goodra looked like that shiny LOL put you’re so right imagine when he first sees it he’s like “it reminds me of lemon tea” and he likes it even more LMAOO wait shiny aegislash does go hard and I feel like it also matches the barou family vibe LOL

Ok pause…imagine also when the magikarp evolves and mc first sees the red gyarados her first thought is “aww it’s red and kinda angry looking, reminds me of my cousin” SHSHSHS the scam is so funny Otoya fr being like thank GOD I wasn’t the only one who got scammed that would’ve been embarrassing LMAOO

OK PAYSE THE LATEST CHAPTWR??? I guess we all knew igaguri HAD to be in there at some point because of the hints being dropped from kaneshiro but BRUH YUKIMIYAS FACE OF BETRAYAL and the way we fr got no more elaboration on Kunigami wc omg I have no words also the battle of the balds is actually crazy work I had to stop myself from laughing but speaking of maybe I didn’t pay attention but who’s being subbed out for Loki? I’m praying that Karasu still gets a moment to shine but also the way kiyora has barely done anything else besides that one pass to Kaiser is crazy too anyways crossing my fingers and manifesting

Also unrelated but I’m going back and reformatting the LNs just for my own sake because I want them to look cleaner and I’ve already found like five typo ridden sentences in the first chapter of yukis omg if you want the cleaned up version though lmk and I’ll send it back here LMAO

- Karasu anon

I WAS HOWLING WHEN I SAW IT LIKE WDYM RICHARD CRANIUM??? anyways that’s not even the craziest one but i can’t remember any better ones LMAO

no because yk if photoshop exists in this world tullia spends reader’s ENTIRE gym battle editing yayoi’s hair onto tabito and then when the battle’s over and she’s done editing she shows it to otoya like “smash or pass” and otoya’s like you can’t fool me that’s karasu he has a mole and yayoi doesn’t but tullia’s like bro?? you didn’t answer the question??? and he just LEAVES (to go catch swablu) and it’s never mentioned again LMAOAO honestly reader and karasu have such a cute dynamic but tullia and otoya are MENACES to each other (what’s funnier is tullia has a full team for the entire story but otoya only has a froakie at first and that does NOT stop him from talking shit 😭 i know froakie is sweating bullets staring at tullia’s fully grown lanturn and lilligant like bro…pls don’t make me fight her…)

HELPPP I BET OTOYA PAYS FOR THOSE CHRIS PRINCE PERSONALIZED GREETINGS TOO LMAOAO omg otoya being a chris prince stan is one of my fav things FKLGJS imagine chris prince also dabbled in contests when he was younger so he’s actually also lowkey yukimiya’s mentor?? which is why yuki knows for a fact that his product placement is bullshit (imagine otoya is watching one of his personalized chris prince videos and yuki sees him because he’s helping reader train and he’s just like “oh chris just hires a ditto to film those for him they’re not real” and otoya is like WHAT THE FUCK)

okay wait speaking of yuki listen to the arc i’ve come up with for him…basically he meets reader and co somehow and is talking about how he’s a coordinator and obviously karasu and otoya being dicks are like “LMAOOOO MALE COORDINATOR 🤣” so then yukimiya’s like okay if you think i’m weak do you want to battle?? and then he proceeds to absolutely wipe the floor with him…at that point in time karasu only has his birds so yuki’s steelix alone is sufficient and otoya only has the second-stage evolutions of greninja, ampharos, and blissey so they’re all still on the young side…yukimiya’s breloom makes QUICK work of them and then he’s like “didn’t you know battling is part of contests 😐” ofc reader is like omg that was insane and also you’re super hot so she asks him to train her and he tells her he will if she enters a contest so she’s like okay and enters her houndour (who still hasn’t evolved into houndoom yet because this arc takes place relatively early on in the story) and tullia enters her lilligant (otoya and karasu def respect yuki now but they still can’t bring themselves to do a contest) and yukimiya trains them both and when they get to the contest reader and houndour absolutely COOK like they DEVOUR the competition but when it comes to the final round she’s disqualified on a technicality; yukimiya goes to argue for her but he finds out that the real reason she was disqualified is because houndours/houndooms are considered bad luck/symbols of death and the judges wouldn’t allow one to win the contest!! so it’s kind of like baby’s first look at corruption SLDKFJSD tullia ends up winning which is implied to be deserved (it was literally a tossup between tullia and reader but because houndour is a fire type and lilligant is a grass type reader would’ve likely won the battle) but it’s still unfair overall because reader didn’t even get a chance to prove herself (it’s also what drives yukimiya to align himself with the gym leaders/e4 in the final confrontation so he does pull up again!! with chris prince hehe)

SFKJGKSD no i 100% pictured karasu just going fuck it and throwing the pokéball at gible and the gible is just genuinely really friendly and LOVES people so it would’ve gone with literally anyone?? like there was no need for them to battle it at all they’re just dumb 😭 pls and the entire time tullia’s watching and karasu’s just like 🤫 at her and she lives for the drama so she keeps her mouth shut HAHAHA

team x just felt so perfect especially because their whole thing is to get rid of training?? like X training idk if that makes sense LMAOAO i really like it though!! and yesss the scion of santalune just rolls off the tongue so nicely…i think it’s funny if all of reader and co have celebrity crushes i def think luna should be one!! like otoya’s is yayoi (and lowkey chris prince if we’re being real…), karasu’s is probably anri…i would say tullia’s is luna but LOWKEY i can’t even lie luna is just a male tullia so it would be a little weird 😭 description wise anyways given the blond hair and green eyes (although i imagine tullia’s hair to be a bit more of an ash blond and her eyes to be a bit of a more muted green??) maybe she’ll have a celeb crush on loki or noel noa and reader will have one on luna 🤔 he’s like the seventh gym too so at that point the nagi slowburn will have progressed a bit so imagine nagi just has insane beef with luna as well as karasu because reader literally won’t shut up about him

PLSSS whenever i see a barou edit my first thought is like DAMNNN BAROU I NEED YOU and my second thought is like barouuu please come home your baby sister misses you 😭😓💔 no because the difference in oaeu barou and pokémon au barou is insane…i mean honestly i think everyone but karasu and otoya act super different when you compare the pokémon au to the oaeu LFKJSJLK one thing abt tabieita though they will be a bunch of rude dumbasses in every lifetime

nooo i don’t think it was behavior…maybe ritual??? although that doesn’t sound quite right either UGH anyways you got what i meant LMAOO anyways yes karasu is 100% crying because like reader’s his baby ykwim like he watched her go from a fuckass girl with one singular pokémon to an idiot that got scammed into taking on a magikarp to one of the best trainers in the entire region he’s so attached to her wdym she is DEAD?? but then she’s actually alive and he’s so relieved he doesn’t care that he’s being mediocre (like in the egoist bible when he said he doesn’t mind being mediocre if the world is ending…that’s the vibe he gives in that scene) he’s just so happy that she’s okay 😭 and then he tells her to return her houndoom because he’ll look after now 😩 then she’s like what about barou and his houndoom??? so he’s like it’s okay garchomp will take them (he’s the one who carries reader out #strongking) and she’s like please tell garchomp to be really careful because he’s my family and i don’t want anything to happen to him and ofc karasu’s team “fuck barou” because he doesn’t know the truth yet but he thinks of reader so highly that he actually does tell garchomp to be careful with barou because if she loved barou then that’s good enough for him

LMAOO steven stone reminding us of his presence everywhere we go…maybe hiori just moonlights as the champion of the hoenn region and pulls up to check on his preserve in kalos occasionally /j HAHA no i agree if only barou got to live a bit longer 😭 his battle against noel noa is televised and reader watches so we do see him in action there!! right before he dies 😓 shiny goodra is just so warm and comforting looking for some reason?? very nagi coded…and agreed shiny aegislash gives major barou family vibes i think between barou’s anime color being red and houndoom being red(dish) + black it’s safe to say that the entire barou family theme is red and black!! which lowkey makes shiny gyarados fit right…

HAHAHA PLS maybe the REAL reason why reader isn’t scared of her gyarados is because she’s used to people (aka barou) who look scary and intimidating and constantly pissed off but are actually just big sweethearts on the inside…reader the gyarados whisperer for that FR HAHAH i bet those people who like check your pokémon’s happiness (they exist in-game idk what the logic for them to be there in the au is but let’s pretend) are SO surprised when they see reader coming with her gyarados because they’re expecting it to be furious but it’s actually super chuffed!! my headcanon is that most gyarados are super angry because they basically are thrown into fights that they cannot win as magikarp for the sake of gaining battle experience and evolving but reader never even uses her magikarp to battle or anything…like during their downtime it’ll play in the water with tullia’s lanturn and (for the arcs/moments that they’re present) chigiri’s gorebyss/isagi’s lapras/yukimiya’s azumarill but she’s not tossing it out whenever she’s facing off against nagi or team x grunts or whatever she actually just takes very good care of it and treats it like a friend!! it evolves when reader and co are captured on a team x ship and they manage to break free and they’re going to fly away on karasu’s birds but then reader realizes that magikarp’s pokéball is still in the dungeon?? for some reason maybe because it’s shiny anyways she gives the rest of her pokémon to karasu/tullia/otoya and tells them to leave if she’s not back within a couple of minutes because she won’t leave without magikarp but she doesn’t want to bring the others or her pokémon down with her…anyways while she’s sneaking around a bunch of team x grunts surround tabitullieita so they reluctantly fly away (karasu does tell his staraptor to stay in the area and keep an eye out just in case so it’s not like they totally abandon reader) meanwhile more team x grunts find reader and they’re like ok time for you to deadass walk the plank we’re done keeping you alive so she’s pushed off of the ship and left to drown BUT then magikarp releases itself and she’s like don’t worry magikarp i don’t regret saving you even if i had to do it again i’d go back and find you which prompts it to evolve just because of how much it loves her and wants to protect her 🥹 then she and gyarados destroy the ship #slay #girlboss and she rides it back to the beach where tabitullieita are depressed because staraptor just told them that the ship reader was on was sunk by a gyarados (it was too far away to realize reader was riding the gyarados the entire time LSFKJSD)

OKAY AS PROMISED I HAVE MR. MIKAGE’S TEAM THE E4 CANDIDATE’S SIGNATURE POKÉMON:

kunigami: chesnaught idk why but chesnaught just SCREAMS kunigami to me

bachira: ludicolo HELP the dancing…the unseriousness…the lowkey rlly good typing…it’s somehow so perfect

kaiser: absol the diva energy is so strong with these two

mr. mikage: gardevoir (maybe this is why reo wanted a gardevoir??), cloyster, gogoat, flygon, gigalith, and kangaskhan (mostly as a reference to when reader was supposed to have a kangaskhan HAHA)

IGAGURI IN THE CHAPTER IS CRAZYYYY please yuki’s little 😯 made me so saddd GET MY BOY IN THE GAME he’s so so much better than IGAGURI like who invited bro?? and yeah idk who loki replaced but i’m pretty sure that means it was probably just a random pxg player LMAO because i think it would’ve been mentioned if it was a bllker?? or maybe i’m just slow and missed it too…if it’s anyone from blue lock though it would def be like tokimitsu bro has done NOTHING this entire time even zantetsu and nanase have contributed more (karasu was carrying for a solid while so it’s 100% not him) and LMAOOOO PLEASE BATTLE OF THE BALDS HAD ME CRYING it’s just so insane for no reason?? bald on bald violence goes crazy though fr…

HAHAH i don’t remember there being that many typos tbh?? that’s crazy though maybe i just psychically reader your mind and knew what you were talking about

[tears-of-boredom]

dream time! i was laying in bed, and I guess i yelled something along the lines of "is someone in the kitchen?" cuz I heard something, but then i heard the voice of a man, who was maybe a skeleton also, right beside my ear. something like "no, im here". in the dream lore i had been simping over this maybe-skeleton man for like months, and I think I knew him from like, some type of fictional media. im pretty sure he was like a reaper in that. and his voice was very famous, the tumblrinas were obsessed with it and him. so i heard the very distinct voice of this maybe-fictional maybe-skeleton man right next to my ear, while im lying in bed. so the man is laying in my bed right next to me. and I didnt know. kind of a jump scare, but also I'm not gonna turn this opportunity down. i very visibly flinch when he announces his presence, and he laughs at that and says some shit like "oh did i scare you?", and that was really fucking hot like there's a reason everyone was simping over this man. then idk a couple minutes pass somehow and my brother comes to my door complaining about not being able to eat, like its my fault. he does not flinch at the skeleton man in my bed at all, in fact, it seems like he already knew about him. or at least that, in this dream world, some random man appearing into my bed isn't an uncommon thing. he seems to be even more annoyed because of the skeleton man, but I do not care at all. I have a hot skeleton in my bed who I've been thirsting over for months? my brother trying to start an argument is not one of my priorities right now. but me and skeleton man do get up to go eat some breakfast. my brother angrily declares that he's going to go eat somewhere else, i do not care. again, i have a hot skeleton man in my house, who seems to be interested in me. the "scene" cuts off when my brother slams the door behind him.

then i was playing a minecraft puzzle map that was considered a classic, and it's main feature was that there was a skeleton who would bicker with you in a very homoerotic way. very different skeleton from the first one though. there was some puzzle where you had to help a spider go through a window or something. the spider was really big and furry and i don't like spiders that much. I let my the other person i was playing the map with handle that one. i think we were doing a lets play video, because when we got past the level, everything just stopped moving. i climbed through the window to get into the next level and found the skeleton frozen in place as well. then it cuts off.

im a member of this group of robbers, but im new. i always assumed everyone on the team was very incompetent at robbery, but in the dream they like emptied whole houses, plus basements, so I guess I was wrong about that. a lot of the times i didnt actually care for the robbery part of it all, so I just sat in our getaway car with the driver most of the time. we didnt talk terribly much, but there was a vibe you know. and the vibe had told me that if the cops showed up, the driver would abandon everyone without a moments hesitation. so that's part of the reason I stayed in the car as well. the main part of the dream was just me and the driver developing a very homoerotic relationship full of bantering-bordering-on-flirting -but-not-quite. i thought he was really attractive. and i didnt understand why he stayed with the rest of the team. many a time I fantasized about being stuck on a very long heist, me and him in the car as usual, and the boredom takes over so we start talking more, and then we have a sloppy make out session to pass the time.

anyways yeah i think the moral of this story is to not watch undertale gameplay before bed, unless you want to dream of very attractive skeletons flirting with you.

[stellocchia]

I see pokemon and utmv and I shall be autistic about this as well to match the energy!

Under the cut because this rant is LONG.

Liepard is the Killer-coded pokemon, so it would make complete sense if Nightmare had one in his team.

For Nightmare:

Gothorita is also very fitting for Nightmare. Both because it can use hypnosis to mind control humans and pokemon and because it's strongly connected to the night as starlight is the source of its power.

Meanwhile Drifblim... I guess it mostly suffers from a bad reputation. It's a very thoughtless pokemon, usually only getting carried by the wind and loathing without thoughts. People and pokemon do sometimes use them as methods of transportation, but they're unreliable for that, as they do not decide where they're going. They just drift along.

If we want to give him a flying pokemon (which could be useful for, like, reconnaissance missions and stuff) then Golbat is the best choice. Both because a Golbat never evolving into a Crobat would be an indication of his character (they need a high level of friendship to achieve their final evolution) and because they're stealthy and vicious. They do not stop draining their victim's energy once they attack even to their own detriment.

Chandelure is literally a ghost chandelier that feeds on the souls of its victims so, like, yeah, fair.

Houndoom has as an interesting feature that if it burns you with the flames it shoots from its mouth, the pain will never go away. So Nightmare could certainly find a use for it for dishing out punishments. Their howls are also said to be rather intimidating. Ultimately, if Nightmare manages to assert his dominance (through fighting) they'll be useful tools to him.

Love giving Umbreon to Nightmare and Espeon to Dream. No notes, that's a great idea!

Florges is an interesting idea for Nightmare. But if we wanna give him a plant-adjacent pokemon, may I suggest Cacturne? I love that it starts as a pretty unassuming little guy as Cacnea and then becomes a predator as it evolves. It reminds me a lot of Nightmare. It also specifically preys on already vulnerable individuals (it lives in the desert, so it stays inactive during the day, and then attacks travelers tired from walking in the heat at night).

For Dream:

Flabébé is really cute. It also wears a crown of pollen that kinda looks like Dream's golden circlet! So they're matching!

Sylveon is a trans icon and, honestly, both twins should have it. Though I think Nightmare wouldn't appreciate its soothing aura all too much... perfect for Dream though! And it's a pokemon that loves hugging its trainer, so Dream can get some emotional comfort too. And he really needs some of that.

Audino is often paired up with the various Nurse Joys in universe, and that's because with the feelers on its ears, it can feel the heartbeat of other creatures and it's able to tell how they're doing. It would definitely be a big help for Dream!

Musharna is the dream pokemon, so I get the vibes, but one of its pokedex entries is: "When dark mists emanate from its body, don’t get too near. If you do, your nightmares will become reality". That's why I tend to give it more to Killer, because it's a very neutral pokemon. Heck, in the game it's introduced in it scares away a bunch of guys by making them hallucinate their evil boss.

However, if you want a psychic-type pokemon for him, may I suggest a Swoobat? For one thing, it would also be a good indication of Dream's character, as the only way to get it to evolve from a Woobat is through a high level of friendship. Also, its nose is heart-shaped and adorable. And, while its ultrasonic waves are strong enough to destroy concrete, if they come from a courting male they actually cause a positive mood shift in anyone they hit! It's also considered a symbol of good luck in certain places (though I may be biased on this one, because it carried my ass together with my Boldore the first time I ever played pokemon).

The idea of him finding a cute little Teddiursa and then ending up with a 5'11 Ursaring is hilarious to me. I love it!

Sunflora is literally a sunflower pokemon, so I'd say it's perfect. It's even more perfect if we give Nightmare a Cacturne because they're literally the opposite of each other as Sunflora is only active during the day and it's a more I guess stereotypical grass-type pokemon? In the sense that it's not aggressive. It's just vibing.

There are too many extra pokemon to go in-depth about those, so I'll only say something about Killer's:

Nickit is perfect for Killer. It's a cunning fox-like pokemon. And it's a stealthy little thief. Though I do wonder if Killer would want to have a pokemon that is so similar to him or if he would instinctively gravitate more toward pokemon that resemble his friends.

Gengar is a little bastard. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but that's just a fact. It lives in shadows and delights in casting curses on people. It also steals heat from its surroundings and it's a bit of a shapeshifter (it can mimic the shadows of people). It's one of the pokemon with the strongest Nightmare vibes.

I think Killer would love all pokemon regardless, because to me he is and always will be an animal guy. Doesn't matter the animal, he'll love it. But I think that most likely, once he's out of Nightmare's grasp, he'd maybe go mostly for pokemon that remind him of his old boss a bit less. And also that remind him of himself a bit less because, you know, self-hatred.

Im gonn be autistic and yap about what pokemon i think the apple twins would have

This is just pure vibes honest i havent put much thought into this

For dream im thinkinggg

Flabebe, which is like a tiny pokemon on a flower floating around and i just like dream woth flowers

Sylveon, because they evolve when you give them love and friendship and yadayada which fits dream A LOT

Audino, im pretty sure she was a pokemon of nurse joy(?) So 🤷‍♀️

Musharna, this one is just PURE vibes

Ursaring, he probably found it as a teddiursa and now its a behemoth of a pokemon

Sunflora, another flower pokemon 😌

NIGHTMARES TURN

Gothorita, i mean it fits him

Drifblim, im pretty those damn things kidnap children. Fits nightmare because he also kidnaps people

Chandalure, again this is just vibes. The castle is dark anyways you probably need a light

Houndoom, the castle would probably be filled with them along with those papyrus guards (i think he had papyrus guards in canon.....R.I.P literally dust nightmare probably orders them to go guilt trip him)

Umbreon, because i gave dream a eeveelution too (.... i know pokemon teams are like....6? ACTUALLY THAT MIGHT BE WRONG. IM ADDING MORE FUCK POKEMON TEAMS 😡)

Florges, because big garden in castle, also i gave dream a flabebe

Okay additonal pokemon i think they would have not in pokemon teams

FIRST OF ALL, UMBREON FOR NIGHTMARE AND ESPEON FOR DREAM

UMBREON AND ESPEON ARE DAY AND NIGHT.

YOU SEE WHERE IM GOING WITH THIS

Ahem

For nightmare: Zoroark, Liepard, Darkrai (the fucking nightmare pokemon), mightyena, galarian corsola, banette, sableye, duskull, pumpkaboo, mimikyu, marshadow, polteagheist, cursola (not to be confused with galarian corsola),

For dream: bellossom, jumpluff, shaymin, deerling, serperior, swadloon, cottonee, lilligant, maractus, skiddo, phantump, fomantis, morelull, bounsweet, galarian ponyta, cleffa, altaria, dedene, cutiefly, diancie, comfey,

Killer has a gengar and a nickit

Oh that’s cute. @stellocchia mentioned the Musharna reminding Killer of Color before, and they also mentioned one that reminded Color of Killer but I forgot the name.

I don’t know anything about pokemon, so i probably can’t tell if any of these are actually accurate or not, but they seem to fit based off your descriptions.

[cognitosclowns]

heres my monthly post wondering if youve noticed any more cool details 😈😈😈 but seriously i love when you point out background stuff

AWE TYSM FRIEND <3 I DO HAVE A FEW LITTLE SCREENSHOTS ACTUALLY

I'm labeling this one Chekhovs Chainsaw smdnsd - we see it in the background-basement-lab-thing all the time but,, it hasn't been used yet!!

smndsmd when they first let AB out I was 1000% sure he was gonna get a chainsaw arm but NOPE SMDNMNSD ITS STILL JUST IN THE BACKGROUND

ANYWAYS, VERY EXCITED TO SEE WHO ENDS UP WIELDING THIS. Or maybe it'll just be some pretty background filler.

IN ANY CASE I FIND IT VERY FUNNY THAT,, REAGAN DECIDED TO KEEP A CHAINSAW RIGHT BESIDE THE MURDEROUS AI. It's smug aura taunts him smndsmd

THERES NO ANAYLSIS HERE I JUST FIND THIS MOMENT SO FUNNY. TEAM WORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK. GET HIM.

there's also a scene before this where Myc just,, fucking HOISTS Rand like a sack of potatoes and it cures my every woe. we could all use a bit more of Rand getting his ass handed to him <3

(SIDE NOTE GIGI'S EARRINGS ARE SHURIKENS AND I THINK THATS SO COOL MSNDMSDN i just,,, she gets a lot of super fun details that are easy so miss. Heart eyes.)

OH THIS ISNT REALLY,, ANYTHING SECRET BUT LOOK AT THE SLIGHT GLITCH EFFECT AROUND THE LIGHTS???

theres so many,, super fun details like that - these thin scribbles of neon colors in the backgrounds, light glitchy effects around lightsources <3333 idk man it just adds to that weird feeling?

ALSO BC YEAH THATS EXACTLY HOW IT FEELS TO LOOK AT THOSE ACCURSED FUCKING LIGHTS SMDNSMD

I SAW THIS IN THE BACKGROUND OF EP 9 WHEN HE HAS A TALK W/ HIS EX-WIFE AND I JUST,,,,,,, :')

From the color coding ,,,, the entire vibe of Glenn and his family I'm gonna assume thats ONE BOY ONE GIRL,, AWE

ALSO gonna assume this is the Daughters drawing? just bc she's the first one after the mum, and kids usually draw their siblings after themselves dsmndsmdn

Maybe fraternal twins? Maybe just siblings born pretty close? Before I'd been assuming the Daughter was like,, a teenager?

Cause 'making his daughter wear all camo so boys can't see her' IS VERY 'dad who's nervous about his daughter doing to highschool' vibes MSNDMSD

BUT THIS SUGGESTS THEYRE,,, PRETTY YOUNG?

OUGHE IDK MAN I JUST WANNA SEE MORE OF THE DOLPHMAN FAMILY <33333333

OKIE THATS IT FOR NOW,, MWA THNX FOR THE LOVELY ASK

Nothing's wrong, and it's not what I'm used to Oh, does it surprise you too? When it's simple, is it easier than it should be?

"Hey babe, are you okay? You've been quiet today," Dream practically pouted as he asked you. He loved the sound of your voice and while you definitely weren't giving him the quiet treatment, you sure weren't as talkative as you normally are.

"Yeah, I'm good. Just distracted thinking my thoughts." You smiled at him and leaned against him. He looked down at you and pecked your lips. You gave him a sweet kiss back. The smile he gave you made your heart boom. Loving him was as easy as eating a cake (because the usually analogy 'baking a cake' isn't true, its sometimes hard to bake a cake, especially when a hungry streamer keeps trying to eat the batter or start a flour fight).

"Anyway, don't you have a stream with the Dream Team to get ready for? One that starts in," you look at the clock on your phone, "three minutes ago?" The slight panic that crosses Dream's face makes you laugh loud. He gives you another kiss and in less than five seconds has practically launched himself across the house into his recording room. Your laughter follows him the whole way, a smile and blush upon his face.

Nothing's wrong, but when you're not in my arms I send voice notes, you send hearts And get quiet, and I know that means you miss me

Okay, granted, you were the one to remind him that he was streaming with his friends today and speedrunning, but you didn't expect it to last well over five hours. At the beginning you worked on your classwork for your [college degree of choice]. You got it done quickly, as it was nearing the end of the semester and most professors of yours were laidback and wanted you to study more than write nonsense papers (fictional you, i'm so jealous). Occasionally you would jump in fear when you heard Dream shout, still not used to it after years.

After finishing your classwork, you started cooking dinner. Soup was the vibe for the evening, and you had found a wonderful chicken and dumplings recipe a while ago that you wanted to try. You did have to go to the store for some of the ingredients, but luckily it only took you an hour. You can back and he was still streaming. It took about another hour for dinner to be done. You let it cool and prepared yourself a bowl. You set your laptop up and started watching Dream's stream. Hearing his voice made you miss him, so you pulled out your phone.

Going to the two of y'alls messages, you started making him a voice message.

"Hey baby, I made dinner, so don't play so long it gets cold. I love you! Kick the enderdragon's ass baby! Mwah."

You continued watching him stream, and he took a pause for a minute, his screen not moving from the create a new world screen and his mic muted. A couple seconds later you got spammed with every heart offered in the emoji index times what felt like a thousand.

He continued being quiet for a couple seconds, although he did unmute and continue playing, answering George's and Sapnap's questions of where he went with, "I had to take a message."

You're jealous, you shouldn't be I want you obsessively But I know how complicated it can get When you're not in front of me I know insecurities get in your head

Chat sometimes upset you. Sure, you got Dream, all of him, but sometimes the comments made by some of the more obsessives fans were a bit to much.

'With the way he killed those mobs you know he's got good fingers'

'His voice is hot so he must be'

'Heyo dream baby lemme see them feet'

Okay the last one was more weird, and actually turned out to be a joke from Quackity but anyway moving on.

He was your guy, and he promised himself to you, but sometimes he seemed to have a genuine connection with some of the sweeter and not gross ones. It made you scared that someone, one day, will swoop him off his feet with a comment and he’d leave you for them. 

But I'm not gonna interrupt if you need to talk about it Roll my eyes, get offended by the way you doubt it You know you're mine, you just forget sometimes So promise me you won’t And you know I'll remind you when you think I don't

The stream ended a little under an hour later. Dream left his recording room, grabbed a bowl of soup, and found you in the living room, lost in thought. He plopped down right next to you. 

“Talk to me baby.”

“About what?”

“Anything and everything.”

“Okay.” You’re quiet for a bit, despite his offering of listening. He knew you were gonna take him up on the offer, you just needed a bit of time, so he was going to wait patiently. He finished his soup quickly, he was much hungrier than he thought. He put the bowl on the coffee table and before he was all the way leaned back on the couch, you were leaning against him. His arms wrapped around you, your head was tucked in between his head and shoulder, and a blanket covered the both of you. You looked towards the blank tv screen but felt his eyes on you.

“I love you a lot. And I know you love me too, but I’m afraid I’m not enough. You have so many options, especially with your popularity online. I don’t know what I’d do if you left me, whether it be for someone else or just because you’re tired of me.” Dream waits for you to stop entirely, with you breathing heavily.

“Well, you’re right about one thing. I do love you, a lot. The rest of it is wrong and I’ll spend the rest of time telling you so.” Dream says, pressing several kisses against your forehead. 

“Yeah I know it’s stupid to feel this way, but my anxiety gets the best of me. It’s stupid, I’m stupid.”

“First of all, you’re not stupid. Second, hey stupid, I love you.”

Nothing's wrong, I just get in my head too Can you reassure me you, you're still in it? I just wish you could lean in and kiss me

As much as Dream loved you and reassured you, sometimes he would get caught up in his thoughts too. The life of a streamer/youtuber, especially one with as much fame and subscribers as him, was rough. The constant need to feed his fans with entertainment and content, and the need for the content to satisfy his fans was stressful. He hates to admit it, but he some days he spent to much time working and not enough with you. He thinks you would be so much happier with someone without a tight schedule and without a large, intense fanbase. Any random person on the street would be better for you than him, he thinks. 

When he gets into this headspace, the only thing that grounds him is your lips on his. When you kiss him, the clouds go away and all he can see is your eyes, as bright as the sun, and your smile, which can tempt even the purest. 

Say nothing's wrong, tell me to settle down You do it better than I've ever known how Won't pull some tricks for attention But could I get a little now?

Now, everyone knows that Dream likes some attention. He especially likes attention from you. Good thing is you also like attention, especially from him. The not so good thing is both of y’all get distracted so bad, it’s almost too funny.

He tends to get your attention by tickling you, whether it be in the comfort of your home or in public. One day, when you guys were walking through town, you stopped at a flower booth and got to talking with the friendly and flirty florist gentleman. It had been a couple minutes, and Dream was really needing some love, but you continued chatting with the florist who was definitely going to ask for your number but you genuinely thought he was just being nice. Dream crept up behind you and placed his hands on your side. You froze for a moment and looked at him, confused. The smirk that crossed his face barely gave you a second to prepare as he tickled your sides. Your laughter filled the street as you turned around as he tickled you. You wrapped your arms around his neck, which got him to stop ticking you, and gave him a kiss. The two of you continued on your way, attached at the hip.

And one day, when you wanted his attention, it was after he was done recording a manhunt with his friends. The actual video had been done for a bit, but they were just fucking around in the minecraft world and talking to each other. You had had a not so nice day, and wanted the crushing weight of your boyfriend on top of you. You crept into his recording room and came to stand right behind his chair. Based on the conversation you could tell he wasn’t recording anymore, so you knew it was safe. Your hands started in his hair, trailed down to his face, and slid down his body till your arms were wrapped around him snuggly. Your head was placed on top of his. 

“What are you doing?” he asked, and received no response. Instead, you began aggressively shaking him and the chair, turning it this way and that, making him slightly dizzy. His laughter filled the room, and he quickly ended the call. The two of you spent the next 12 hours cuddled in bed, leaving only for the necessities. 

You're jealous, you shouldn't be I want you obsessively But I know how complicated it can get When you're not in front of me I know insecurities get in your head

Dream got jealous as well sometimes. You were beautiful and a lot of the time attracted the attention of random passerbyers. Those people, who you don’t even know, who lived normal lives where they didn’t have to spend every second worried that their face will be revealed to the public and suddenly all their fans from around the world will know what they look like or the general area in which they live, who don’t have to obey algorithms and bend to the will of the masses to make sure they get paid enough to live, who could give you a normal and safe life. Every time one looked at you with some attraction, he pulled you a bit closer and kissed you a bit harder. 

But I'm not gonna interrupt if you need to talk about it Roll my eyes or get offended by the way you doubt it You know you're mine, you just forget sometimes So promise me you won’t And you know I'll remind you when you think I don't

Sometimes, Dream needed to rant. A long, hard, intense, rant. Sometimes it was about how someone accused him of cheating his speedruns. Sometimes it was about how someone said something nasty to him or one of his friends. Sometimes it was about a comment someone made about him or you that got on his nerves. When he needed to talk, you sat there and you listened. You did whatever he needed to get better, whether it was just listen or talk to find solutions. You did it because you know he would do the same for you. And afterwards, a cuddle session was a must. 

How could you forget? I told you seventeen times before 7 AM I love you How could you forget? I told you seventeen times

The morning after rough days were one of the bests. Arms tangled together, legs tangled together, everything tangled together, no one able to tell where one started and the other ended. Lazy kisses pressed to faces, hands, necks, any part of skin the lips could touch. One particular morning you woke up earlier than he did. A quick kiss against his cheek woke him up, and he gave you the most love filled smile any man could do.

“Hey stupid,” you said, “I love you.”

[sapphire-innit]

Ranboo my Beloved please help this Kid please

VOD: TommyInnit Is Actually Depressed in Exile

(rp) Well that title can only mean Good and Wholesome things right??? Everything's going to be fine and dandy RIGHT?????????

"its ok though because its Dream. And hes great. H-hes cool" I have never heard Tommy sound more defeated :'(

[irt the Tubbo statue] Welp this isn't going to go over well

OH WOW THAT SKIN SHIT. he looks real fucked up ohnoooo. His eyes are greyer and hes got Visible Bags under them D: also his hair is messed up too :(

"we didn't do this out of pity" have lost their magic words huh oof

"if Tubbo wanted to be here he could, and he's chosen not to" :( :( :( this WHOLE SPEECH is painful and raw

Tommy is so angry and I wish he was ABLE to direct it at dream but man, I get it. Hard to watch him tear down the Tubbo statue though

.....also side note did BBH and Puffy build this while eggified that's wild lol

:( Fundy and Ranboo came to say hi. So did Philza. ahhhhhh, fucking hell :(

"Its been weeks" canonizing the longer timeline

Ghostbur ... that hits different now ;-; ;-; ;-;

I miss him already fuck

Tommy still not eating.. :(

adsfdfsf the fuckign... girlfriend bit what even is this

RANBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

He's so sneaky and clever ahhh he hid the book!! fuck Dream took the last book and then he hid it too well lol

well that got depressing quick ;-;

Tommy really is so communicative he tries so so much I hate that no one seems to listen

"and he never would have gotten [exiled]" Tommy it wasn't your faaaullt

and they're trying too but he doesn't know how much Dream is intimidating them to stay away :(

shit he STILL hasn't eaten. Hes not putting on his armor either :(

I do NOT like the vibes on this "screaming station" .... seems fucked up

"the sun reminds me of a happier time, the sunset reminds me of my bench" THE SUN IS HOPE :(

and hes turning down primes

whoever suggested making a chair a "one person bench" omg adwsfdf

still hasn't e a t e n

lol always time to make fun of bbh and skeppy lol

.... a screaming station in the nether seems like an even worse idea than one over the ocean

Jack Manifold! I hear you fucking hate Tommy later!! and I have no idea why!! IS THIS IT

Fucking hell HOW IS THIS CANON

.........wow this sure is the WORST time Jack could have visited. FUCK

...he was even going to throw him a fire res Fuck

I still can't believe that was canonically Jack's last life what the fuck I can't believe that was the start of the Team Rocket arc

...he DID apologize, fuck fuck fuck

Jack and Tommy really talking past each other, this SUCKS so much like he could not have had WORSE TIMING and I wish it hadn't ended in a fucking, DEATH because I don't think Tommy ever meant to go that far at all, like, fuck man

(I know people are pretty sympathetic to Jack and all, and sure that sucked but also I'M HERE FOR MY BOY TOMMY RIGHT NOW OK)

....half a heart and still not fucking E a t i n g

running around the nether with half a heart. Building out over lava. Mans committed to the bit

................I knew it had bad vibes

FINALLY EATING!! Jesus that ghast lol

"why would he spawn there???" TOMMY THAT'S HOW MINECRAFT WORKS TOMMY adswfsdfsd

"I'm just a fucking tourist hub now" Exiles really done a number on him in a Multitude of ways

I knew that party was gonna do a number on him but man is it hard to see.

....I'm glad Ranboo's efforts have been appreciated a little bit. Its good to have SOMEONE other than Dream that Tommy's not cutting off

GOD the zoom in on the lava. Rough.

Hes tearing down the path too. He's physically and mentally isolating himself, which is ... harshly true to life

"Happy place / Theyre all happy / Its not quiet / Its just happy" Tommy writes the most Devastating Shit. Like first it was the Ranboo mail and now the sign, fuck. Its like any chance he gets to type, it just all comes spilling out, he can't help it

"Have I ever been the villain? ...(small depressed smirk)...probably" :( :( :( this is absolutely Dream's victim blaming working and everyone who dog-piled him about the walls and shit and fucking hell man, no

...the little interaction with Ranboo was a breath of fresh air, my beloved...

Wait what happened to the fake gf???

I do feel like its actually really good that Tommy managed to let ONE person through a little bit, and not brush him off out of pity. Its not enough rn but I feel like any outside connection is good for him right now.

It also does feel like it is because Ranboo kept trying even when he ran into difficulty. Its ALSO because of luck no doubt, and he managed to hit just the right vibes to not be 'pitying' because others DID try multiple times, but it couldn't have happened at all if he hadn't been so persistent with his mail either

I also noticed Ranboo questioned the "Dream and you are my only friends" line, which I appreciate

THE CHEST ROOM. FUCK. Well I know how THIS ends D:

"I owe everything to Dream, he comes and sees me and he gives me armor sometimes, and he makes me happier and he gives me a trident" . . . we're in the thick of it now huh

I LOVE THAT RANBOO SPEAKS SOME SENSE HERE THANK YOU. like Tommy's not in a place to hear it Right NOW, but I still appreciate it. He's very good at that (though he still has the backbone of a chocolate eclair lmao. Though maybe that's also why he didn't set off Tommy either)

He almost told him about the armor destruction and my heart hurts

"I'm gonna make it out of Cobblestone, because its my favorite block, it was. It is I think" :(

Ranboo really planning to run for president and help this kid get the FUCK out of exile

ALSO He's trying to clear up the compass thing, hes trying so hard. Tommy's not really in a place to hear it, but I'm glad it was said

......JACK. Hes coming in for a BIT and its just. He's bouncing off of Tommy so hard adfdf I can see how he becomes Team Rocket but also I hate that this friendship turned into hatred

asdfssfd don't ask Ranboo to STRIPE omg

why ARE there so many portals??

...."he takes shit from me" he told him :( I'm so glad he told him but fuck I wish Ranboo could help in some way. Too often you can't and you just gotta work with what you can do but at least he told him :(

"anyone can die Ranboo even me" there's that suicidal idealization! :(

"Its because they don't care Ranboo. Everyone who you think cares, probably doesn't"

GODDD cc!Tommy is a good actor though shit, the YELLING about the party I'M

Tommy is so communicative even now, hes trying to tell Ranboo and talk about it and I wish it made a difference

...he was triggered when Ranboo fought the mobs for him :( he sighed and it hurt :(

...he was testing him for pity with the pickaxe wasn't he, fuck

Ranboo talking him off the literal edge, fuck

"Its never gonna end" oh Tommy... :(

[forgedraptor]

You know what? I actually believe that out of all the Dream Team, George is actually the motherhen/care-taker type

It may be different when the camera is rolling, or when hes being sarcastic and sassy but you can really see that this man has the patience of a saint and doesnt mind calmly and patiently talk to someone over something if they need help over it

Like the most recent being with Tommyinit, and how he got tips from George. Yeah, George hasnt finished a speedrun in a while but hes knowledgable over the topic and it doesnt really shock me as much knowing that he helped Tommy

Or another recent stream of him teaching Quackity how to play bedwars, you could see that Bad and him were actively trying to teach Quackity, even if it cost them the game or they lost. In the first parts, George would talk to them calmly and tried his best to give Quackity the general idea of the game, even when he stumbled a bit and got confused at times.

I mean look at his interactions witht the most recent MCC with Fruit, Ludwig and Karl

When Karl was getting stressed and confused George was there to calm him down and talk him through finding a way to fix his problem. When George was speaking to him you could see how relaxed his voice was, how chill his vibes were and how he calmly he was explaining rules and suggestions to help the more new team members: Ludwig and Karl

He was so attentive to them and didint mind taking the time to explain things and help them in understanding the game, even at the cost of his own

Theres also how in the older Quackity and Karl streams, whenever they did something dangerous or something that could possibly hurt them; George was there trying his best to desesculate the situation (even though he fails most of the time with these two and gives up half way lol)

Like when Karl first strated jumping on his chair as he popped off or the time he started to put things on fire, George would usually be worried and tell Karl to be careful. He also told Quackity this when he was streaming that one time and was dancing with open scissors; George was worried Quackity would hurt himself while his LOH was just a few minutes from starting

Or it could also be how soft he gets when interacting with kinder, softer people (like Bad or Niki) he doesnt exactly changed much, considering hes still a sassy asshole but you could see how hes less of a bitch with them and how hes calmer around them

And also how he interacts with most if not all animals he meets; not just irl but also in minecraft too. Hes so incredible soft and caring when he interacts with his pets (Dog and Cat) even going so far as holding them sweetly as if theyre babies

Then in minecraft, when hes not showing off or acting like a brat, he interacts with them kindly too; like the time he met with a strider and he saw it was cold and tried to help them, how he was softly speaking to a baby chicken to go to their mother hen, and how when he first got Beckerson he would go say hi to them on their little area and just stay with the fish and watch them for a while

Theres a lot of moments and times where you could see George switch from his 'sassy bitch mode' to his 'care-taker teacher mode'. Its usually the tone of his voice that changes and how his vibes suddenly get very calm and chill, and he also starts explaining things in detail to the other person

Idk i just believe this man is one of the most sweetest people youll ever meet, especially once you get to know him better; and makes me believe that hes the caring-parental type like Bad is :")
