#because I need more threads

[secriden]

oh man bison's guilt when he has to confess his part in the whole scheme to fadel was palpable.

because bison had his reasons, he was backed into a corner, nearly suffocating under his mother's rules and fadel's rigidity, and desperate for any semblance of a life he could call his own.

and he meant well! part of it was that he genuinely was doing it for love of his brother!! and he didn't mean for it to get so out of hand.

but its too late now to say he's sorry. its too late now to try to fix this. because his precious person already got hurt.

but wait...

doesn't this...

...kind of sound...

...oddly familiar?

(and this is why you can see the threads of forgiveness already shimmering in the distance.)

That spider with the uhhhh the uhhh the memory issues and centuries-long criminal record

What better way to get over 2 months of no practice than to draw the most FUCKING DIFFICULT AND SYMMETRY-REQUIRING THUNG INT THEWORLD

Also here's my voice headcanon for them. Can you see the vision. Can you open your mind and imagine a confession booth conversation like this. Can you.

[danwhobrowses]

Goodness this is like the third episode in a row begetting discourse among the cr fandom. For me this discourse has two perspectives where the division depends on whose perspective you're looking at;

For the armies it was 'We've been sent by the gods and are here to help you stop Predathos as we pla-wait, you're a vessel of Predathos? Isn't that just like Ludinus planned??' which yeah is valid from their perspective

For the Hells it was 'We just came out of 4 back-to-back battles with Ludinus and Predathos itself, we have a solution to save the gods but change the dynamic but we want to discuss it privately with the gods first and now you're trying to kill us!?' which is also valid

What puts me more on BH's side is that we have the context; BH are allowed to be terse when people try to kill them and fail, least of all allies who don't ask for an explanation before asking their god to come down and smite them. They're not villains because they snarked at the person who attempted to sic their god on them, and it's not as if Imogen sic'd Predathos on them in retaliation. Once again they are met with the thankless job and burden that they neither wanted or asked for, but was thrust upon them anyway. With all the times Bells Hells have been criticized for being aimless and indecisive it seems a little strange to criticize them now for being focused and decisive.

Could they have explained from the start? Maybe. Would it have caused a different reaction the moment they said Predathos is in Imogen? Probably not. I can't tell you why they didn't come out of the Cage and immediately explain because I'm not the players; perhaps they wanted to avoid the hysteria and conflict, perhaps they were drained from the fight and wanted to wrap up the episode, or perhaps it was just down to Bell's Hells, as with all CR campaign parties, being infamously bad at communicating, I don't know.

But it's times like these where it's worth reminding that this is a DnD show, nerdy-ass voice actors having fun, it can't always be clean and clear-cut storytelling every second. And sometimes as a fandom we need to take a step back so we don't get ourselves stuck, because we're probably making it deeper than it is and getting annoyed at each other over our interpretation of two groups from the same side getting annoyed at each other. Just, take a breath.

Not caught up on TRT, so not sure if this has already happened. But are you planning to add more Dom Jane at any point? 😊 Same for heavily dom Matt/devil.

I AM! They'll both continue to have their Dom moments in between moments where no one's particularly in charge. I see them both as switches so we all get to have some fun, no matter if you like Dom!Matt or Sub!Matt, and same with Jane. 😂

Our next scheduled smut chapter(s) is, in fact, a wild Dom!Matt versus brat mode Sub!Jane. He's absolutely unhinged and feral and she's feeling not particularly agreeable as a sub and therefore she may or may not use the phrase, "Why don't you come over here and fucking make me."

Which goes exactly the way you'd expect, that woman's gonna need to be carried home in a gd bucket.

Did i mention they are on a rooftop

[ironmaidenhead]

thinking about this quote in connection w/ frank and how he wore the mask of a u.s. marine with a wife and two kids and their picnics in the park to obscure the internal struggle of reconciling the family man (married maria after three months because he got her pregnant like any good man™️ would) and the soldier that enjoyed the violence

Riptide Triton Headcanon

Tritons have cultural adornments called darrings. They mostly come in the form of tailets as that was what the tradition started as, but can also be hair, coral, or wrist/arm accessories [whether the tail is too covered or the triton just wants them elsewhere, it’s up to the individual].

Children often have ones made with aquamarine or sea glass as it’s more common and easier for them to work with. Their darrings always start as tailets. Children’s tailets are almost always a friendship tailet or ones made with their parent/guardian. They also occasionally are given a birth gift, though it’s not common since darrings are usually made by the triton it’s for. As they get older they get more proficient with more gems, stones and materials, and learn more braiding methods for the bands. Their tailets also become more based around important events and people in their lives, rather than what’s basically casual friendship bracelets.

They use silverstone [material found in the undersea that triton’s claws are very good for shaping with] to carve charms for their darrings. The bands are pretty much just made with either thread, twine, or cords, but the styles and colours differ and they’re more often than not included in the meaning of the darrings.

Finn Tidestrider

Finn has a lot. because he’s old.

He made one with gems, stone and/or charms for each crewmember of the Black Rose on it. Arlin’s stone is a dalmation jasper, and Drey’s gem is a fire opal. The centrepiece charm is a carved rose with the stem mixed into an anchor. The band is two pieces of black cord twisted together.

He has one with only carved silverstone on it, each charm made to look like one of his most signifiant creature discoveries. The biggest/centre charm is carved to look like the elusive crawfish. The band is braided white, blue, and teal thread.

He has one with two charms and two gems for Gillion and Edyn, the charms hanging together with the gems on either side. Gillion’s charm is carved into what almost looks like a shark tooth, and Edyn’s is abstract, in the shape of her birthmark. The band is pink and blue with no pattern except for a small heart right where the charms are attached.

Definitely has one for the triton he ended Dark Puckered Hole with. The band is black twine, and it has two pearls on each side of a charm carved with the cleric’s symbol, an open seashell in the middle of it.

Finn’s darrings are spread around his body; several on his tail, a few around his wrists, and Gil & Edyn’s is around his neck, resting close to his heart. They cover a wide range of simple to more complex, and a lot of his incorporate minerals from the oversea as well, which no other triton has done.

Edyn Tidestrider

Edyn only has a few. She had more when she was younger [friendship tailets] but grew out of both them and the friendships.

She of course has one for Gillion and she’s added to it throughout the years. Its gems are amazonite, aquamarine, larimar, and pearls in a paralelling pattern, the pearls on either side of the darring’s charms. For Gillion’s, she carved charms of his egg, his sword, and what is the primordial symbol for “million”. Its band is made of dark and light blue thread braided with an alternating diamond and heart pattern. This band is the newest one of the few she’s made while improving her skill with braiding, and all the previous ones are still kept with her belongings, hidden away with the few special trinkets and such she brought from home with her.

She has one of sea glass, all pink, made for Pretzel. The band is a redish-pink and blue, braided with a heart pattern.

Since travelling to Allport, she’s turned Gil’s and Pretzel’s into hair darrings, now braided in close to the root and dangling from her hair, but any others have either stayed around her wrist or been put with the rest of her things as Gil’s and Pretzel’s are her most important ones.

Edyn’s darrings are fuller, with the band barely showing despite the effort she puts into braiding patterns.

Gillion Tidestrider

Gillion only had one for most of his life, but now has three.

As soon as he was brought to the palace and was given his armour, sword, and oath, he was bestowed a darring from the elders made with rounded black and white stone and a carved charm of the full moon with waves in front of it in the centre. It’s been wrapped around his coral since he received it, and the moon hangs on the front of his middle coral piece. The band is just plain brown cord.

When he was older, he made one with Edyn, and it was his first tailet. It has two cat’s eye stones, pink and purple, and a star charm between them. The band is braided with turquoise and gold thread, and it has some streaks of white throughout it, loose threads Gillion pulled from Edyn’s dress as they were making it.

He made his third for Jay and Chip after the crew watched the jellyfish migration. It has two roughly carved feather charms dangling next to two stones. One is an ocean jasper, primarily brown with red spots and stripes in it, and the other is a lime green peridot with hints of yellow in it. The band is simply braided with light blue thread, and has red, dark blue, and cream coloured threads woven throughout, loose threads Gillion pulled from Chip & Jay’s clothes.

Gillion’s, aside from his moon darring, are both fairly simple opposed to Edyn & Finn’s, as he didn’t grow up making them. The bands he made look a little scrappy from the threads he added, since he wanted more colour and to make them more special but there wasn’t enough for full braiding. It’s basically his form of patterning since he doesn’t have the skill for actual patterns.

So ppl have talked before about how the names ppl know/use for each other on the severed floor are so interesting and how it relates to the dynamics there and even helps to enforce them (all authority is Ms./Mr. Last Name and all the innies are First Name only with just an initial for their last name), which just makes it so interesting to me that Cobel was known as Mrs. Selvig to outie!Mark (and then by extension Devon and Ricken as well)

Like even outside of Lumon’s walls and with the outie version of Mark, she set the boundaries of herself as authority still. And like it probably doesn’t even translate fully or well, but the fact that it does for her specifically and she made the choice is just.. idk, curious? Like, what even is her deal?

[porcubus]

i think a lot of plot threads were really unceremoniously dropped and I think it is so evil that gemma gets sidelined so much especially as a woc (which severance seems to be gaining a bit of a track record for now) and ends the season in just a brand new form of pain like jesus fucking christ

at the same time I don't think mark and helly were running away thinking they'd have a life down there they were running for the sake of being alive and together just a little longer & I don't think the implication is that they fumbled the gemma rescue I think it'd be just insane if s3 begins and she's just. Back in there and while some choices are questionable I don't think they'd do that devon and cobel are more than likely just outside. maybe this is too hopeful but it felt clear to me

my hope is for s3 to do due diligence with the way things ended and spend more time with gemma as a main character (hopefully having that time tie in more with devon And Her Kid We Forgot & ricken and whatever the hell he's doing since we've been told they were all close)

Idk where it was, but I think I saw a post about how Cassandra couldn't finish saying the word "fair" without being consumed by the rage shard. Going back and watching the moment when it starts to go wrong in the wizard synod, Cassandra says "it's not fair" immediately before the shard rips through her and she begins bleeding out.

Thinking about this with the Bad Kids' convo with Lydia Barkrock and how the pit fiend in her chest couldn't say the name of the dead fallen god he served or he could only say it in certain contexts... I wonder if Cassandra had another sibling aside from Galicaea and Sol (or maybe it is Sol?? Or Helio???) that she was a right hand to or had a contract with (now I'm thinking about rules and relationships re: figs warlock classes????), and maybe what Lydia's party invoked is what happened to Cassandra. I wonder if, when the Bad Kids find out more about the ritual, they will recognize elements of what happened at the wizard synod.

Anywayyyyys, maybe I'm just drowning in red strings lol

always kind of strange and uncomfortable when someone admits "yeah i basically fried my attention span on Phone so i can't do anything that requires patience now". the kind of thing where i want to say a million things in response but i tend to say nothing at all

This damn comic is fucking A N C I E N T but as far as like, the content of it- not necessarily the art because I always hate my older art, but the presentation, what is objectively here- still feels right to me, so I'm sharing it. again

Woe...what a night.

The relief in his eyes when she said she wouldn't judge him so easily. The delight in his face when she said she would've taken it further.

The curious tilt of her head, thinking how he knew she got expelled, and with no hesitation she'd do it again. His reaction to it; the evident joy that he couldn't hide.

Then all goes to hell when he says;

"I knew there was a reason I liked you."

Her face softens as he says it. Thee Wednesday Freakin' Friday Addams.

It sealed it. A validation.

Someone liked how unhinged she was, a normie even, accepted her for who she is. He was different from the snobbish, insufferable elites she had met in the school she didn't want to attend. He gets his hands dirty and not like the Nevermore brats too spoiled to know how a coffee machine works.

And it all made sense at the end why she was so into him too.

Him being a normie was fine.

She couldn't have foresaw or imagine him as an outcast.

But him being both of two worlds was so unexpected, it stung. Everything he did was a mockery of her shortcomings, and they both knew it. Him more than anyone else.

As much as she couldn't stand the fact that being a psychic, a raven, and missing the most crucial part of the puzzle humiliates her to the bone, it didn't change the fact that, yes.

Yes. All was done, blood was shed, tears were wasted and lives were taken.

He was suddenly the monster wreaking havoc in town. Disemboweling bodies in the woods, lying as if it were walking, killed his therapist boy-monster.

He wasn't just Tyler Galpin; a part time barista, and a wide eyed boy ready to comply with her whims.

He was, and is the Hyde.

Walking freely in town wearing the same innocent face that managed to fool her and stayed out of her radar. With his bigot, normie, sheriff father.

All smiles and sunshine in the daylight, but at night the shadows consume him.

"Of course the first boy I'd kiss would turn out to be a psycho killing monster. Guess I have a type."

Yeah girl you have a type.

And it's a temperemental beast with a mind of its own.

And it all started with a cup of coffee he had made for her. And those damn words she held in the back of her mind every time she does something unpleasant or disappoints her family or the head of the wretched school.

"I knew there was a reason I liked you."

But this time, it wasn't Tyler Galpin's voice echoing in her shabby mind.

It was her voice that she tried to suppress as her ribcage claws out of her chest. Denying any hint of affection.

There is always an explanation why things are the way they are, and why people act the way that they do.

And it was in front of her all this time.

Even now that Tyler is splayed bloody in the open.

There it is.

The reason why she liked him.

[not-that-dillinger]

...thoughts for a verse where Ed is still under his father's control.

In this situation, Ed would be a lot more adverse to physical touch because his father would weaponize forms of touch that were meant to be affectionate. Hugs are a show for when they're in public, or a means to restrain him, a pat on the shoulder or back is a sign that he'd fucked up big time and he'll have to face the consequences when they get home. A hand through his hair is a warning, and if he doesn't stop, he might get his hair pulled at. A hand to his face, to make him look means he's going to get yelled at.

The only place his father won't touch him is his hands, because Edward Dillinger Senior needs his son to be able to shake hands with other business partners without flinching.

Ed would probably still get uncomfortable if anyone held his hand for longer than five seconds, though.

TFW your a former supervillain with the power to control electricity, but the mutant bug gremlin you tried to kill decides you make a good heating pad instead.
