haha jiaoqiu overhearing gossiping soldiers in the midst of his work, thinking it to be nothing but mundane drivel, only to have absolute dread entrap his entire being upon hearing one of them let slip word of your injury on the battlefield before frantically searching for your whereabouts, caring little about the concerned shouts from the knights nor the pelting rain stinging his skin and obscuring his vision.

the only thing on his mind is you, you, you; he cannot — no, he will not let you die. not when he still has so much to tell you, not when there are so many things left unsaid.

Orym is giving very "I have fallen in love again and that feels like a betrayal to my dead husband" energy.

He's also giving "I care so much about my friends and I have to protect them but the love I have for one is so strong that it's distracting me AND it's not fair to the others"

Like there is so much love contained in the Orym and also so much guilt.

youve heard of sex flowers get ready for the flower that makes you into a celestial shoujo herione complete with particle effects you cannot turn the fuck off and creates a wifebeam so powerful it can incapacitate and maim and keeps making you burst into tears and fall on your ass which makes the wifebeam More Powerful and you also cannot turn this off either. and is also still, sort of, a sex flower

from one of my favorite fanfictions, Celestial Afterglow by elanor_pam, a fic that defies description in the best possible way

just Thinking Out Loud but im trying to prepare myself for the deltarune community to irreversibly change the same way it did when ch2 came out... its not really something i personally experienced back in 2021 because the game wasnt nearly as important to me then as it is now (understandably) (i just love chapter 2 so much)

and while i am Absolutely ready and excited for chapters 3 and 4, it will be kind of scary to see deltarune blow up again and the community grow vastly in size and Whatnot (i think about the other instances of this with other fandoms lately like gravity falls, fionna and cake, arcane, etc) (as an outsider looking into all those communities) and now im like Fuuuuck thats gonna happen to us!!!!!!

BUT ITS OK. BECAUSE EVEN IF ITS SCARY the important thing is that so many artists and musicians and fan game devs and whoever else are gonna produce amazing new stuff with the content ch3+4 gives us, and that's more exciting to me than anything... something you can honestly apply to any work of fiction getting a new part/chapter/season/whatever. I love when communities create!!!!!!

idk what this ramble was supposed to be it's just been something ive been thinking about for a while. The community ive come to recognize over the past 3 years is most likely gonna change drastically and i (the comfortable) am about to be disturbed by this But its necessary. life would be boring otherwise. i love videogames

okay so i lied abt being done talking abt ro. cause the thing is i dont doubt that he has people who care for him, im not saying that nobody cares— if he asked his team, zam, mapicc, or like derap to play the server w him theyd do it. if he were banned, zam would revive him bc i dont think jumper or rek have the materials to do so. but i still consider him alone bc whenever he is able to login its just him. which is the entire issue, i think.

and i actually. think thats smt mapicc understands abt him, and i dont know if anyone else does. cause ro doesnt LIKE being alone, he doesnt like playing the server alone, he likes following his friends around and doing things w them for the sake of being around them— which is why him being w rek and jumper is a bit difficult for someone like him imo. theyre very independent teammates and enjoy doing their own projects, but ro likes doing projects WITH people and spending time together, which is why he seems so isolated from even his own teammates to me. and i think thats what mapicc meant when he was defending ro by pointing out that rek and jumper arent active, even though theyre considerably more active than ro himself is.

like i know im yapping a lot abt such a small piece of dialogue, but i thought of all of this bc of mapicc saying "Where is his team, y'know? // Yeah but where?"

the entire reason im talking sm is bc people (on the server at least) seem to think he does so much with/for mapicc in s5 and s6 simply bc its mapicc and no other reason at all— and while yes, its true that ro is very attached to him— i also think part of it is bc in both s5 and s6 his teams were there. but they also werent. not in the way ro needed them to be.

they werent there in the way ro needed them to be bc they dont know how he works or what exactly it is he wants/needs in a team like mapicc seems to. ro being so willing to turn his back on seemingly anyone for mapicc isnt JUST bc of bias even if thats a large part of it— its bc mapicc understands how he works in a way others just dont seem to be able to, and he knows how to make sure ro has the most fun in a team yk? like he understands that ro likes to do things together for the fun of it, for the sake of spending time together regardless of the outcome bc a big thing for mapicc is spending time together as well.

its why i think ro immediately went to mapicc abt pentar wanting him, and offered to help in the war despite having very little he CAN do w how poor he is on the server. it was finally something he could do w other people (people he already knows he has fun w, at that!!) even if it was a war he realistically knew very little abt and had like no stakes in. bc he likes being involved and working w other people a lot, but theres nobody he really has to do that with yet this season bc his teammates are busy, his friends have other people, and hes too busy to be able to play enough to find new people he could work on things with.

I just finished watching The Old Guard (banger movie by the way, absolutely recommend if anyone’s been debating it), so naturally my brain went the route of Old Guard DBDA au. I don’t know any details; all I can think of so far is that Charles and Edwin are a pair of immortals that have been at it for a while together, and the timeline of the story starts with the appearance of a new immortal: Crystal. As for what’s beyond that, idk—are there other people on Charles’s and Edwin’s immortal team? Or are they just a duo? Idk if the immortality loss thing happens to either of them, I’m leaning towards no if it’s just the two of them… but like. It would fit SO well.

I’m already kind of envisioning that it’s just been Edwin and Charles, doing good and helping people from the shadows for decades (or maybe even centuries if we stretch out the timeline a bit); not a direct role-for-role cast replacement of the Old Guard, but more of an insertion into the story structure/world. Like, Edwin as the older of the two, having become immortal a while before Charles and almost immediately getting trapped and spending a canon-adjacent length of time being tortured for his abilities—then escaping a short while before Charles appears and he starts having dreams about him. Their deaths could even be similar to canon: Edwin gets sacrificed (literal sacrifice rather than a prank this time) or maybe even put to death for suspected homosexuality and comes back; Charles dies of hypothermia and internal bleeding after his “friends” turn on him, but he doesn’t STAY dead. Edwin has dreams of cold, and pain—utter impenetrable cold—and of an attic, and a lake, and he sees Charles’s face—he decides he has to find him.

Then Crystal comes around, and maybe she has a similar background to canon—maybe even with the memory loss? Like, her toxic ex-boyfriend kills her and she comes back without a bunch of her memories—some kind of complication with the process—and she gets them back gradually over the course of the story (probably as multiple deaths clear things up/shift things back to normal). When Charles and Edwin find her, there’s a lot of complicated emotions, stemming from—well, both of them wondering why NOW, why another one after probable centuries of it just being them, but where Edwin is resistant and standoffish (he doesnt trust new people this close, why did it have to change, their life was FINE as it was), Charles is excited to have a new person around!! Someone they won’t lose!! Someone like them!! And meanwhile Crystal is just,, fucking REELING from this and also maybe being stalked by her crazy power-hungry toxic ex-boyfriend who was maaaaybe in the government the whole time and dating her because her parents had whopping political status. It’s a lot.

Shit, maybe Esther could even be another immortal—one Edwin and Charles don’t know about; one that’s removed from the dream-connection somehow, or one that they haven’t been able to pin down/get clear enough memories from to realize it’s a whole other person and not just, like, them having weird dreams and shit. And maybe Esther LOSING her immortality correlates with Crystal gaining hers, and Esther tries to figure out a way to steal the boys’ immortality somehow to get hers back… or maybe she’s NOT an immortal, but more of a Merrick-type character that finds out about the immortals and wants to take their power for herself? Idk.

Last thing I’ve been thinking about is, I want Niko to be an immortal too… but is she an immortal from the start? Probably not. Maybe she’s a normal mortal girl they meet while dealing with Esther and all get really attached to, who then breaks everyone’s hearts by dying when she tries to help Crystal get the boys back from Esther, providing Crystal’s first big lesson about the futility of relationships with normal human beings (while still being worth the pain for the value of the love while its there)… UNTIL she comes to in her grave in Japan weeks or months later, and the inside of a coffin shows up in all of their dreams. Or something.

I am hereby inviting anyone who wishes to participate in this idea with me to do so, in any way you please

[faunandfloraas]

the whole chan is a father of 7 thing has become way less of an eye rolling statement to me ever since I've gotten into nmixx bc people try and be like "Haewon is so mum to the girls 🤗" and im just like. She's literally getting drunk on some show and yelling at pizza boys to show off their lats and fanservice burping in girls ears and being hypo. if anything shes the older cousin who gives you a drag of her ciggy and your first beer.

i dont think that the metal plate in Ford's head is made out of magnetic metal bc Why Would You Do That

HOWEVER. it being magnetic is sooo fucking funny

post series Ford ending up in the hospital for one reason or another & a doctor orders an MRI but hes like "sorry. theres a magnetic metal plate in my head i cant get an MRI" but the doctor doesnt believe him until he takes a magnet from his room's whiteboard and sticks it to his head

and the doctor just. 🧍‍♂️

"Haha, Strawberry Crepe? Are you in here?"

"Hm? Pure Vanilla? Whad'ya want?"

"Ah, no particular reason, nothing inconspicuous, of course."

"Ah, right-- well, don't touch anything; have zero interest cleaning up other cookies' messes today."

"I'll do my best. What are you working on?"

"Someone actually came for me for some upgrades, its been so long I thought everyone had forgotten I could do that. So I want no distractions from that."

"Oho? Could I be curious on who wanted what?"

"Anything to help them sleep better and quicker, wanted to be out on the field as fast as possible-- capsule sounds easy peasy to me."

"Really? Its that easy with no negative side effects? Sleep is important you know."

"I don't assume this guy is particularly fussed about the negatives of sleeping for short amount of times. If no one fights you over it adjusting a cookies circuitry isn't that hard either, but it might make jellies taste weird."

"I think there might be some negative side effects that simply aren't being considered due to the character of the cookie, am I right?"

"He told me he wouldn't blame me for anything if he started feeling ill, not like he would anyways I'm not that careless with my contraptions, so for all I care anything could happen to him."

"If anything does make sure to tell me about it alright? I don't want any cookie suffering under my nose."

"Yeah, yeah, can't keep my workshop if I use it for evil. My memory works just fine."

"Speaking of no one in particular, how is it working with Espresso?"

"I didn't expect someone composed of his ingredients to respect the craft as much as he does, so he's fine. Spends most of his time working on the candies though so he's carved out his own space over there to work on it. As long as he doesn't randomly explode anything I don't have any issues with it, which fortunately he hasn't yet. It'd be nice if someone who spent so much time in my workshop cared about the wafflebots but it's not like he's causing any fights with them either."

"He can't read your mind you know, if you want him more involved you're going to have to communicate that."

"No, no-- Dragging someone who doesn't inherently care is no one to bother with, he stays over with his candies I stay over here with my stuff."

"As long as you're aware of that choice. Have you done that for him though; helped him at all with his candies?"

"Duh, he might be shockingly respectful despite his ingredients but he is characteristically frantic, he'll run around in a mad craze if anything takes longer than expected and I get put on babysitting duty whilst he grabs some solution from who knows where."

"Are you alright with that arrangement?"

"Its not that bad and it could be worse, if it means we get candies at all I guess it's a sacrifice worth making."

"Would you like an extra pair of hands to help out...?"

"Again? Unless you found some new cookie since the last time you brought that up--- ah, wait, right. I'm gonna have to think about that one, its quite the commitment."

"Take the time you need, I want to assure that it was just a passing thought, don't feel burdened to accept if you have any doubts."

"As always..."

"I think I should be returning to my duties, it was nice catching up with you though. Hope I didn't distract you too much."

"... It's not that hard to multitask when it comes to you, don't have to keep a close eye on you."

"The highest compliment one can get from you, haha. Have a good evening Crepe."

...

"I guess only one of you are actually leaving tonight."

Taash: I can't hide behind Rook. They're way too small.

It’s not nature or nurture it’s what you make of what you’re given that is what defines good and evil!!
