it is very funny to me that we've regularly seen people outside the plural community go "plurality is valid! Internal Family Systems therapy says everyone could be a little bit plural, so it's cool :)"
and then in plural communities most of the discussions we see are just like "yeah screw IFS actually"

obviously small potatoes here, but this is how my high school’s GSA (which a handful of friends and I resurrected after it had been non-existant for a decade) ended up only lasting the 3 years my friends and I were leading it.
we named it “Pride Alliance” since that was less of a mouthful than LGBTQIAA and we wanted to be more inclusive than “GSA” to be more in touch with the times. (2015, lmao)
which turned out to be a mistake… because as soon as all of us who had originally re-founded it had graduated, the vice principal and club faculty advisor decided to change the concept from a GSA-type club to an all-inclusive “pride” group open to anyone proud of their “sexuality, gender, race, culture, and/or religion”… in my majority white suburban midwestern town, that meant the club was flooded with homophobic christian white pride freaks and was shut down due to infighting after like a month.

MAGA are the wolves, the KKK, the islamophobes, and the nativists.
Make you choice.
Keep [criminally] bad people out of politics.
#my high school’s Feminist Club also got shut down in less than a year but not for the same reason lmao#this pick-me handmaiden type chick and a bunch of guys started a Meninism Club in retaliation#and the school decided to shut BOTH clubs down to avoid conflicts 🙄#unsure if the Pride Alliance thing was intentional or not because both of those men are stupid enough i could see it being an honest mistake#the faculty advisor made a documentary about a tourist city in our state and how it’s magical…#bc the local republican small business owners tolerate the liberals and the gays bc their money is as green as anyone else’s#and the vice principal once told me he didn’t really understand why bullying was wrong because he was a bully in school#…the principal was also dumb as fuck he asked if i paid a gross boy to have sex with me??? i did not. obviously.#ig that was gross dude’s story abt how he ended up with the assignment he stole from me and got caught turning in#but like sir… that is… obviously not the case. when does a hot girl ever have to pay a gross boy for sex? never#sorry these tags have REALLY gotten away from me i’ll shush#(the plagarized assignment was the supposed payment if that was unclear)#p

College be kicking my ass but we continue on like Scaramouche (alive and kicking, but still crabby about it all lmfao)
Random idea but what happens when the acolytes got hold of Creator that is able to squeeze into small places (like a cat would but less liquid) and knows how to escape? Think of sagau but instead of all the deaths, its just they got overexited and chased the Creator the moment they see them which scared them shitless seeing a mob just appear out of nowhere.
I mean who wouldn't after seeing your favourite person in your favourite game just appear right in front of you? (I apologize in advance to the poor unfortunate sucker)
Imagine a world-wide search that keeps getting them heart attacks. Venti just flying by with Dvalin ony to see you on top of the floating pillar above Dragonspine LEANING PRECARIOUSLY OH MY ARCHONS GET AWAY FROM THE EDGE---
Zhongli walking around trying to find peace and quiet only to sense your presence which led him towards Azhdaha's domain and nearly shouted in terror seeing you hanging by one of the limestones above the slumbering dragon your grace what and how the in the fucking name of teyvat did you---
Yae Miko screaming in surprise seeing you inside one of the cupboards of your grace's house (you made a small temporary one in each country in case u need more rest) that she and Ei found in one of the remote islands.
Nahida and the entire Forest Rangers having one of the most intense, frustrating and most challenging game of hide and seek in the entire freaking forest.
You hiding underneath the sand like a fricking snake everytime Cyno spots you from a disrance.
-Vine Boom 🧨
I am no longer apologizing for lateness simply bc atp its basically assumed Im terribly sorry 💀 /so gen

No but the traumatic experience of you cautiously wandering into Mondstadt after realizing ur in Genshin like, ✨👄✨
and every single street/alleyway you try to go down to even avoid it is just people all looking at you like: 👁️👄👁️ ???
and ur over here equally just like: 😃 tf u lookin at????
u get up near the cathedral and finally see a playable character, Barbara, and she just fully GASPS and POINTS at you like she’s getting paid to be an actor for this
shouting sm nonsense like: “My Creator??? King of All???? IS THAT YOU?????”
and after which a few nuns check the commotion, Rosaria and Barbara’s Visions are glowing, and all join in heckling you
Venti coming (literally) flying around a corner on a breeze, saying he was trying to catch up to you, and ohhh now ur Convinced:
None of these bitches must be happy to see you, you did forcefully control their bodies if by the sounds of it they knew you/they must’ve been aware during the game, aw damn looks like u gotta run for your life now
You just book it out of Mond, Venti/Barbara yelling after you to come back, and meanwhile you’re leaving a shell-shocked Jean/Diluc/Kaeya (with Visions glowing) in ur wake on the way out
Not one being, mortal or otherwise, convinces you to stay in Mond, and you finally get to Dragonspine- the only place u know they wont follow
(well maybe the pyro characters but ur betting if u can make it up the mountain theyre not committed to,, running you down? arresting you?? ur not sure)
u make it all the way up and luckily everythings all solved like u did in the game, the traveler must be well into teyvat by now, and u decide to say “for the already achieved achievement” and fuck around and find out near the nail
U thought as u finally got on it u heard a scream somewhere in the sky, and u spotted Dvalin carrying Venti/Barbatos, and once again book it out of town (damn u cant believe theyre so committed they got the dragon in on it…)
so u haul ass all the way down the mountain, traveling only at night, living like a vampire, holing up during the day when u see Mond citizens/knights/gods/etc. walking around presumably looking for you
but u make it, finally! sweet, sweet Liyue, ur 2nd home (besides Mondstadt)
Only to immediately, like right outside the fucking gates to Liyue Harbor, run into Zhongli.
and he’s standing there like this mf knew u were coming, and the first thing out his mouth is some BS like, “…Darnell, that you??”/ref LMAOO
but instead of laughing abt it u just scream and run for your life haha
oh jesus h christ- he’s sending the adepti after you fuck- how hated are you??
sure u maybe hate Celestia a little, and sympathize with the traveler, but this seems a little extreme?!
you go to the one place u know he/any other adeptus doesnt like to come often, Azdaha’s cave
and after a night (well, day bc ur sleeping during the day now) of Azdaha sleeping peacefully, he wakes up fully coherent and u actaully have a rlly pleasant conversation with him about Liyue food lol
he also kept mentioning some kind of god? but like in reference to you?? are u connected to them, u kinda know a lot of gods atp so ur not sure which he means, a god to rule them all??? Celestia?? yeah u guess u know those fucks-
Cue u looking down from ur perch in the stalagmites above, u found a ledge and Azdaha helped you,
only to see a very concerned and borderline nervous Zhongli down below, Azhdaha just greets him like nothing’s wrong, but as soon as he sees you’re uncomfortable, helps you escape (more like teleport) away
(the old geo archon was probably nervous just be around Azhdaha u assume)
and now ur on the islands of Inazuma
u know exactly what islands are all but abandoned, the ghost one, the electrocuting one, and the scary bird one, all great options 👍
Raiden and Yae Miko manage to find you on every single one, with Yae getting more and more exasperated, and Ei getting more and more concerened with every position they find you in
hanging out on the banks of the electro river that would kill you if it weren’t for the little electro trees fending it off (thank fuck u maxed that shit out while in game)
bc u assumed they’d hate to be around it, plus lots of ronin- nope Ei is almost… scolding you?? oh but she’s got her Musou no Hitotachi out fuCK-
(she was slaying ronins that were getting too close to you)
she also is constantly jumpscaring you on tsurumi island/ghost island bc while the ghosts are gone, the creepy atmosphere isn't, and it makes her all the more terrifying as The Raiden Shogun comes walking out of the fog into the cave you've hidden in, stuff of ur nightmares for weeks as u just bird box style try to be silent and stealth around the island to get to an abandoned boat,
literally her scary ass purple sword glowing silhouette wandering around in the fog as you paddle away 💀
getting to thunder bird island and Yae Miko is literally both running/teleporting as quickly as she can to you, as you jump from floating rock to floating rock to escape her, god its so unnerving to watch someone so lazy running after you
she keeps getting in this weird “praising the heavens pose” sometimes when you jump, oh shit she’s aiming hER ATTACKS AT YOU THATS WHY-
oh good- she missed and deflected some stray debris coming ur way, u gotta get to the bird area and see if you can glide away (u managed to get a glider at some point thank fuck)
the bird is luckily on ur side against all these mfs trying to hunt u down (for controlling their bodies u guess) and flies u back to mainland teyvat
sumeru u thought would have the most mercy on u tbh, maybe fontaine bc Neuvillette only rlly cares if u break “fontaine” laws, maybe he wouldn't care to chase down a mortal like u over this
and nahida bc shes just nice
which is somewhat true, as you are acting like tarzan swinging around on vines and shit to escape the forest rangers
but she does show up in ur dreams, but shes just all foggy or distorted, u guess bc ur not of this world or smth??
and so it just unnerves u more, and u try to make it out to the desert, where at least there's no gods to worry about
mf ur hunkered down in a pyramid and see the shadowy shape of Cyno walking thru a sandstorm at you 💀
U dont kno how u got out of that one tbh, smth abt “king deshret made a plan for this” and left it behind for ppl to use to escape underground, sweet
And while Nahida and other eremites, scholars like Alhaitham/Kaveh/Dehya were looking around the desert sands, u slip by them
And u make it to the oasis at the edge of the desert, and steal an old rowboat to cross to fontaine (if i had a nickel everytime u needed to escape a god via old rowboat, youd have 2 nickels- )
and getting to Fontaine is not much better.
U literally get to the clockwork tower, foggy, ominous, uninhabited except for treasure-seekers occasionally, its perfect
until Neuvillette himself just strolls in abt 3 nights of u making camp there
u nearly shit urself as he just fake-knocked on a wall, meanwhile ur like hanging from the ceiling (four limbs out suspending you type of fictional shit)
luckily, mostly bc u were trying to wait him out (which wasn't possible ur limbs hurt so bad) he was, finally, the first person around u long enough to be genuinely kind and patient and answer questions
(Neuvillette acc couldn't figure out where u were at first, and was very confused how u got ur voice to boom around this chamber of the tower, after a minute of talking u trusted him enough to tell him to look up lol)
just in time too, he was able to hide u from the archons a little longer bc u were nervous
(u were already intimidated enough by Neuvillette being irl himself, talking to you, let alone all the other gods/vision users, as u realized afterwards thinking abt all the ppl trying to “hunt u down”, that if they all counted as ppl actually wanting to see you, that was a rlly overwhelming amount, esp if their first instinct is to run at you??? what are you, a fan-abused/disrespected kpop idol????)
☆
trying to be fancy and schedule posts once i get enough free time to actually wrangle my adhd to actually partake in my favorite hobbies 💀
well as long as I'm not getting slammed with lots of shifts again
hope u guys had a great weekend and have a good week! Happy late Valentine’s Day :)

someone said that if a published, self contained character-driven prose narrative divided by chapters from 75,000 to 100,000 words counts as a novel then we might as well count the back of dr bronners soap as novels. and it's like. ok. you might be stupid
here's my opinion. if you think "fanfiction" is inherently somehow an entirely different medium from "real fiction" you engage with story as a consumer to the point that it has fully rotted your fucking brain
#they were referring to fanfic btw. in case that was somehow unclear#there are novels that dont meet all these criteria but are. obviously. still novels#its just like#if a work of art does meet those criteria how is it fucking not a novel lmao#do you have any reason. ANYYYY reason it doesn't count#or have you just discounted it bc you decided its cringe#art and story

description: McLaren employees have to do their CPR and First Aid course once a year. Normally drivers do it with their trainers, but what happens when they do it together in a big group?
First Aid +
Once a year, most McLaren employees - especially drivers - had to undergo First Aid and CPR training in case of an emergency, and the medical team couldn’t come. Usually, Mclaren drivers did it with their trainers who were also certified instructors and never in big group settings; it was normally easier. However, this year McLaren decided to do it with their drivers in one big group with other garage-based employees. It was held in the MTC in between Baku and Singapore, disrupting Landos plans to fly with Max from one race to another, but that was ok.
Oscar arrived at the training a few minutes late, apparently from oversleeping; Lando, however, was nearly half an hour late. It was unclear as to why. The course had to be done while everyone was present unless taking a day off work, so it was delayed said half an hour, severely inconveniencing Oscar’s dinner plans with his mum.
The first thing they had to remember was the acronyms DRSABCD, COWS, and RICER. It seemed simple enough to the both of them, having done it many times in their careers. By instruction of the trainer, they had to pair off to demonstrate the ‘R’ of DRSABCD - Response by using the other acronym, COWS. WIth Lando and Oscar paired together, Oscar lied down on the ground pretending to be unconscious as Lando circled him, still looking for any dangers (the first ‘D’ of the same acronym).
“Can you hear me?” Lando asked, getting no reply.
“Open your eyes.” Again to no reply.
“What’s your name?” Silence followed.
“Squeeze my hands.” There would be nothing wrong with the notion of Lando holding Oscar’s hands in a scenario like this, but the older had decided that it would be a great idea to perch himself on the younger’s lap, literally straddling him. That was not ok. He was then balling a half-stiffie while the Brit was still on his lap, definitely able to feel it, but neither said anything about it.
After Lando climbed off and they completed section 1 of the course, they moved on promptly to head and spinal injuries. At random, Oscar was chosen to lie on the spinal board as a demonstration, and to make matters worse, his half-hard had not been willed away. The instructor, however, decided to make this the perfect opportunity to enlighten everyone in the room that in the event of a spinal injury, a man can become hard and not be aroused, simultaneously alerting everyone that Oscar was bricked. This day could not get any worse for him.
After the neck and spinal section, they moved on to slings and splints. Nothing bad could happen with this one right? *Loud incorrect buzzer* WRONG. They had to get with their old partners again and copy the demonstration given, starting with a shoulder sling. As Oscar wrapped the sling around Landos neck, giving him next to no room to move as instructed, the Brit decided to whisper:
“Do it as tight as you like, baby.” He froze, What the fuck??? Who just says that??? Was the only comprehensible thing going through the Aussie’s mind at the time.
When his mind finally registered what the hell had just happened, he had around 2 seconds to finish the sling before someone noticed that he was taking too long.
Then Lando’s turn for the sling came. While having the next way to tie a sling was being demonstrated, the younger saw Lando (presumably) fidgeting with the rolled up sling from the corner of his eye, when all of a sudden his hands were yanked away from him. Confused as to what was going on, Oscar whipped his head around to see what the older had been entertaining himself with. This has to be a joke. Genuinely cut the cameras, cause what the hell. Lando had made handcuffs. Handcuffs out of a sling and put Oscar’s hands in them, rendering him immobile until when if Lando was to let him free. Thankfully, he did when the sling was to be used again.
Interlinking in with the splints was section 3 - venomous bites, as if you were to be bitten by a venomous snake or spider on the foot, your other leg would act as a splint if one was unavailable. However, this meant another opportunity for Lando to turn this first aid course into some rope bunny/rigger type BDSM.
While the curlyhead was lying in the ground with a PIT bandage on his leg, Oscar was strapping one leg to the other with some rigid fabric (likely the sling again, but he wasn’t quite sure). The taller boy was doing it quite loose as this was just a training exercise, and it was unnecessary to go too harsh when the other whispered in a voice so low only they could hear:
“Come on baby, tighter,” and put a hand in his unruly locks, toying with the hairs on the back of his neck. This sent a chill down his spine and to his nearly fully hard dick. Well, fuck.
When they finally finished the partner work for severe injuries, it was time for commonly-found medical issues, such as allergies, diabetes and asthma. They started promptly with allergies and injecting an epi pen into someone’s thigh. They were given a training version without the needle and were instructed on the steps to follow when administering an epi.
Just when Oscar thought this was the only section clear of something out of the ordinary, Lando leaned over and whispered in his ear mid-exercise: “I don’t have any allergies, but you could stab me anytime, darling.” Someone really needs to murder Oscar before he does it to himself, he swears to god, because this shit cannot be made up.
After this section they were (thankfully) given a 30 minute lunch break, where Oscar whisked Lando away from the long-awaited canteen line and into an empty meeting room.
“What the fuck did you think you were doing?” Oscar led with, visibly annoyed.
“Whatever do you mean, Osco?” He replied, acting all innocent.
“You know exactly what I mean, you little brat. You just just do or say things like that in a work setting!”
“And what are you going to do about it?”
Oscar surged forward and kissed Lando, suddenly. As their lips moved as one, the younger managed to tangle his hands into the curly locks of the other’s baby mullet. Lando’s head dipped to the side as his mouth opened, allowing more room for Oscar to kiss him when he stepped back to reach the table. Their lips parted for a moment of air before continuing with their previous endeavours as Oscar’s hands left the older man’s hair to hoist him onto the meeting table. The Aussie leant forward to place a hand behind the Vrit and the other on his thigh, stabling them both as they kissed with all the pent up emotions they’d had for the last few months. When they broke apart, their chests heavily rose and fell when Lando broke the silence.
“If I knew all I had to do was tease you, I would’ve done it back in Austin ‘23,” He let out a cute little giggle at the end.
“If you said something, I would've been yours in Miami, mate.”
“You did not just call me mate after we just had a very heated make-out session in a work meeting room, you douche.”
“Sorry, would you prefer Lan, or Sweetie?”
“Yes, actually. Yes I would.”
“Duly noted. But just before you say anything, I don’t want this to be casual. At all. Because I really love you and I want you to be my boyfriend.”
“Jesus, I’m not that much of an idiot. Of course this isn’t casual, I love you too, and I would very much like to be your boyfriend, Osc.”
“Thank god. But now, let's get some food, I can bet we’re both hungry, and we’ll talk more tonight, I swear.” Oscar proclaimed as he fixed his appearance in the reflection of the meeting room windows, then Lando’s so it wasn’t obvious they’d just been kissing.
“Yippee, you're paying, by the way.”
“At this point when do I not?” For that comment, the younger received a pinch on the arm as they made their way back to civilisation.
Thankfully, there was only one section left for the course: uncommon conditions. That was fairly simple; just look for any dog tags or bracelets, no big deal. This, however, caused the worst one-liner Oscar’s ever heard. “Wanna test my circulation? I’m sure the blood’s going to all the right places.”
Shockingly this was the only thing that really caught any attention, because Oscar let out a howl of laughter at his stupid boyfriend. But Lando was his, and that's all that mattered

Hello! I tried going through your blog to find an answer for this, but I don't believe you've answered this before?
Anyways I found that Mithrun said that he'lll remain in Merini to "watch out for demons"? (in this post: https://www.tumblr.com/room-surprise/768338984921448448/psa-mithrun-doesnt-run-a-noodle-shop-after-the?source=share I'm guessing its from the complete adventurers bible but I can't find a translation of it online)
But isn't the demon 'defeated' after Laios eats its appetite? Didn't he initially collapse because his revenge was fulfilled in that sense?
Hello! Yes I have not received any asks about this before, I asked @room-surprise about what Mithrun might mean by "watch out for demons" and from what I understood it's not very clear from the japanese? That page is indeed from the new AB which doesn't have an official translation yet.
After they defeat the Demon the characters still have doubts about "what will happen now" so it might just mean he wants to stay in case the demon comes back? Or if something happens related to it, they don't have our knowledge that the demon was completely defeated they don't really understand what the future might hold.
But yes the demon was "defeated" (as much as he can be), his extra in the new AB shows that he has no interest in eating or becoming human anymore
Here's @room-surprise's considerations about the translation on that post)
Ok well, the issue here is that Japanese is an extremely vague language and also Mithrun likes to talk in a melodramatic way lmao so I did my best to translate that line into what I believe he is saying, but tried not to put too much spin on it or elaborate too much in any direction
So what machine translation literally says for that line is "Remain in Merini and continue to watch over the demons. Travel to places where monsters are rampant and record their activities. What are monsters? What is the labyrinth? I will continue to pursue it for the rest of my life."
Obviously you have to add in some pronouns, so "I will remain in Merini..." and since the demon appears to be gone, yeah obviously he's not "watching over the demons" since they aren't here. So most likely this means something like "I'll remain here and keep an eye on the situation, in case the demon returns." And *we* know that there's only one demon, but it's unclear if Mithrun does... But also pluralization in Japanese is weird and I don't think the Japanese indicates multiple demons, but I don't know Japanese well enough to be sure. But yeah in the end this is about the fact that the *characters* have no way of knowing that the demon is gone forever, as far as they are concerned it could come back any day.

“Rock on, ancient queen
Follow those who pale in your shadow”
Goldenflower, Gold Dust Woman,
2022 | 2023
Aaaaaah it’s done! This was a bit of a mammoth to complete honestly, but I’m pretty stoked with it. The transitionary third panel is a bit shit and there’s some cropping issues but I’m burning out and I need to get this out of my system so I can move on from it lmao.
A redraw of the same comic from nearly two years ago now! Essentially the same concept but executed a little closer to my original idea if that makes sense. Still pretty happy with the old version, but I’m glad it can co-exist with this one :)
In case it’s unclear, the fourth and fifth panels depict the battle of Starclan vs the Dark Forest, Goldenflower reliving her memories of Tigerstar before she takes him down in battle!

I'm actually marveling at your portrayal of Palpatine. Sure, in the new sith obi-wan au, but in every iteration I've read from you, it doesn't even compare to anything else I've read, I just can see and hear Palpy so clearly when you write him. It's disgusting how i character he is every time. I need like ... a tutorial? :D Pls??
haha, thank you :) yeah, ngl Palpatine IS the toughest character to get right and I will die on this hill; he is absolutely more difficult to write than Obi-Wan.
The tutorial consists of knowing how a groomer operates, essentially. Sure, you have the traits of psychopathy and sociopathy, the blatant narcissism, the delusions of being better than everyone, but if you want my two cents, (obviously you do when you sent this ask lol) the real core of his villainy is his grooming behavior. Sociopathy and psychopathy do not necessarily lead to evil, many diagnosed people lead fulfilling lives that do not cause them or others any destruction. Sociopathy and psychopathy are NOT inherently evil.
Grooming is evil by nature. And groomers absolutely follow a rulebook.
Step one: Targeting a vulnerable person. (Groomers have a radar for people who are in a vulnerable position - orphaned kids, traumatized people, homeless people, etc., could be anything.)
Step two: Gaining trust. (the victims of grooming call this 'kindness' - much like Anakin does on many occasions - when in reality, it's rehearsed empathy. It's a performance. They're nice to you, bring you gifts, take care of your most basic needs - food, shelter, companionship to make you feel like there's somebody in this world who actually gives a shit about you.
Step three: Isolating the target from their loved ones. If you are completely alone, that's a win for them, obviously. But because they more often than not target minors, there's someone taking care of them, at least one person who goes: this guy/gal has rancid vibes, I don't want you to hang out with them anymore. The groomer convinces the victim that their caretaker has nefarious motivations/goals (projecting much) and that if the victim calls the authority, they will be the one who's actually in trouble, not the groomer.
Step four: Slowly exposing the target to sexual stuff. This could be anything, really, it could start by just showing the victim porn without rhyme or reason to instructing them to perform some mild sexual acts. In Palpatine's case, this manifests as exposing the target to the power of the dark side and encouraging them to use it. However, do I think that Palpatine was entirely uninterested in Anakin in a sexual way? My feelings on this vary - sometimes I do see it and sometimes I don't. I see the constant unnecessary touching and constantly invading Anakin's personal space and I'm like: I need to perform exorcism on myself until I don't remember ever seeing this ever again. Then I see the intent behind and I think - hm, perhaps this is purely a slaver's touch asserting dominance over his property. Like I said, my feelings on this are unclear. Let's just say it's really fucking gross either way, which is something we can all agree on.
Step five: The actual sex. Again, in Palpatine's case, this manifests as revealing himself for who he is (abuser) and taking Anakin (the abused) down with him.
TLDR; you have to have the process of grooming at the forefront of your mind to write Palpatine well - even if in different aus his victim does not need to always be Anakin.
boy i did not mean for this shit to be this long lmao i hope this helps clarify not just how to effectively write Palpy but also for my girls and boys who may stumble upon a groomer irl.
Please be safe out there and talk to whoever you can to help you if you encounter a groomer.
#hope's aus#hope answers#the world was all before them#obikin#sith obi wan#palpatine is ... something else let me tell you#i always take a shower twice after i'm done writing a chapter where he does his 'thing'#gross#but also necessary i think#hope this helps#i'm not a trained psychologist#just read about this a lot#there's this story about Cormac McCarthy's 'muse' Augusta Britt in Vanity Fair#written by a total tool who deemed this 'a love story'#which is essentially Cormac in his forties kidnapped sixteen year old Augusta and took her to mexico#i recommend you read it and hopefully you'll see the framing of the story is disgusting#which ironically i think is what happens a lot when people talk about Palpatine and Anakin#or rather not enough people talk about how fucking fucked up and entirely too close to real life circumstances that relationship is#not to mention anakin's oedipal relationship with padme#another fucking doozy#the moment padme put that blankie over him and he looked up at her with those adoring eyes he replaced his mother with padme in his head#so when they like ... reunite or whatever ten years later all i can see is 'oh look mama came home'#sorry i read too much greek tragedies these days so maybe i'm way off#but that's how i feel

something that keeps me up at night is charles needs to put stuff in his backpack to be able to use it. so at some point, it is unclear when, he put a lit molotov cocktail in there thinking "this will definitely come in handy" also the fact that he had multiple different kinds of bombs in there. i have so many questions: how long were those in there? was the lit molotov cocktail in the backpack when they put becky aspen in there? what did edwin say when they were packing stuff for a case and he saw charles shoving multiple pre-lit bombs into his backpack? how many more does he have? how did he even get a molotov cocktail? did he make it? i cant stop thinking about this, everything about it is just so funny to me
Lmaooo, this is a great ask!
It is truly funny, I bet it started as an experiment of sorts? after Charles figures out that time basically stops/works differently in the backpack since it's an entire pocket-dimension (hence why he can keep a jar of alive bees inside for however long he wants to), he begins to play with it, like yeah you can actually put in a lit match in and take it out as it's still burning, even after a few hours!
Also, maybe there was a case for which he packed all those bombs and only at the scene realized he had nothing to light them up with. So Edwin had to figure out a fire spell practically on the spot for that lmao
So Charles finally comes up with the perfect solution - just put in the bombs already set off to go! And put them far away from flammable objects in the bag? Lol, no, I'd reckon the objects inside don't interact with each other at all, each of them in a dimension of its own, so Becky probably never had the pleasure of meeting said lit molotov cocktail nor the jar of bees
