#fun stuff to look back on also

[kadereads]

hi guys im back with another lotm longpost, volume 4 destroyed me in so many unique ways. let’s get right into it

- major MAJOR spoilers -

the previous part

.

.

.

.

mr. dwayne dantés the tycoon enters the stage :D poor klein who loves money is in constant misery having to act as this handsome middle aged man that just spends spends & spends again. its been really funny seeing him want to scream cry & die over it 💀 but it’s all a means to an end for his goal to rise up in the high society, so he has powered through the sorrow of watching his bank account drop~ watching him adapt to this kind of lifestyle like hiring the butler and servants and mansion, carriages, taking lessons, as a sort of authority figure in charge has been really entertaining. it’s also a bit sad to see him reconnecting with his previous friends from when he was sherlock moriarty, but has to act as though he didn’t know them 💔 my lonely guy…. each identity really has its own unique connections huh and there’s rarely crossover

GEHRMAN SPARROW 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 GEHRMAN!!!!!!!! 💥💥💥🙌💥🙌💥🙌💥🙌 HE LIVESSSS RAHHHHHRRRGH

MY GUY OF ALL TIME I was so scared after the last volume that we wouldn’t see his persona as much anymore thank you klein for proving me wrong. HE HAS BECOME INFAMOUS NOW!!! he’s got an absurd bounty of his own, his tales are spread far & wide, even the other tarot club members have fully realized The World is him!! and although dwayne is the current identity in the spotlight rn, gehrman was Still just as active during this whole volume oh I was joyful

every night as dwayne dantés klein performs like he’s gonna go to sleep after his nice expensive bath, but actually he’s gonna secretly transform into gehrman sparrow and teleport out of his room somewhere w creeping hunger and go slaughter criminals in the dead of night, or make arrodes (who he can communicate with through mirrors!) use an illusion as if he’s sleeping to go on some other stealth operation. that contrast is hilarious helppp he is 100% on both vibes 😭 plus since gehrman is equivalent to The World he’s always present at the tarot club and gets commissions and missions from them! my guy klein is booked and busy!!

like I said in a previous post, it’s such an experience having my favorite character be my favorite character be my favorite character be my favorite character be my favorite character. they’re all klein but also not, I love klein as klein he is the best ever, but I also love him Separately. like gehrman is the best ever too… I consider the identities all as separate characters I love for themselves while simultaneously also the same guy because I know they’re the same—uogghhoghogh klein is simply the character ever he’s so likeable in every form he takes. im still in the middle of reading this novel and yet im so serious he might be approaching on the #1 spot of my favorite characters across all media list. actually Crazy im obsessed with him

anyway I could talk about klein aka the fool aka sherlock aka gehrman aka dwayne here for 10000 years but back to reviewing in timeline-order

—

gehrman sparrow & alger’s mysterious island date finally happened! they went there through teleporting <3 I liked the adventure a lot, they have a natural teamwork!! but never let alger sing or gehrman will shoot him in the neck <3

the temple there had some kind of connection to amon…. the picture drawn in the inner tomb represents the lord of storms, eternal blazing sun, god of wisdom & the true creator. all of them were consuming the city of silver creator. that was wild it exploded my brain bc it revealed the last 3 unnamed kings of angels this whole time were in fact 3 of the current well-known gods who had gotten an upgrade after betraying the city of silver creator…! frightening

—

the meticulous nature of klein strikes again with his time spent investigating & scoping out the saint samuel cathedral as dwayne dantés to try and rob the antigonus family notebook from them 👍 the day to start the operation began and his plans were completely solid, the tension was high he was seconds away from grabbing it— and then that sealed artifact dead angel thing kidnapped him 😭

and so started one of my fav arcs of the entire novel so far

I was reading the heist before bed one night like “yeah I’ll go to sleep after he steals the notebook” SIKE! klein is banished to the shadow realm! and now I can’t stop reading

guys I was So scared for him I had to know he’d make it through this safely 😣 because suddenly he’s faced with a situation of being extremely nerfed w zero connection to the grey fog, in an eerie and deadly shadow town *shivers* it was so spooky to read in the dark. his former enemies were there too like mr. A and the demigod demoness who was behind the great smog of backlund, she got him 🤏 near to death. he lost his ghost pokemon marionette senor in the process :( it was the closest brush he’s ever had with losing control too my heart was pounding

and then they started just Dropping Major Reveals one after the other?? I stayed up all that night to read this, goodbye my sleep schedule. some of these reveals were literally questions raised from the first chapter of this book so I was losing it

like wtf do you mean ZARATUL is there?!??!? why are you appearing already old man! he split his body and projected part of himself here while the rest of him turned into a monster? the ravings of “hornacis flegrea“ are from the creepy hanging dead marionette people in the shadowy cathedral??? and that “treasure” + visions calling those of the seer pathway to the hornacis mountain peak in the first place is connected directly to this shadow realm, but it’s infact actually a trap leading to the Antigonus family angel who lost control and became a monster and every dead person here in this cathedral is the victim of said misdirections??? HUHHHH WAAAAAAHT AJDJFJGM. arrodes’s info telling klein where to get bizarro sorcerer’s formula were actually all leading klein to the same place & situation!

THE SYMBOL FOR THE ESCAPE DOOR WAS A LIE. FRANK LEE CREEPY MUSHROOM CLUTCH. OKAY IM DISTURBED AGAIN 🍄 THERE IS A CARD OF BLASPHEMY NEXT TO THE THRONE OF THE TEMPLE IN THE PEAK BY THE ANTIGONUS FAMILY ANGEL MONSTER AND ITS CORRESPONDING TO THE SEER PATHWAY—

SEQUENCE 0 IS CALLED THE FOOL?????????????

I READ THAT AND MY EYES NEARLY POPPED OUT OF MY SKULL HELLO WHAT THERE IS NO WAY????????????

WHAT IS THIS . WHAT ARE WE DOING!!!!!

EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED EVERYTHING HAS MEANING from the second that tarot card was pulled for him by the fortune teller (debatable), THIS WAS A PATH KLEIN WAS ON. HE PICKED THAT AS HIS NAME HIMSELF DUDE. ITS THE ACTUAL NAME? IS IT HIS FATE? OR THE RESULTING AFFECT OF MULTIPLE SYNCHRONOUS FACTORS COMBINING TOGETHER? HIS TRUE DESTINY?

yeah so I was pretty tired the next day 🫡

seeing klein have to put his mind into maximum overdrive without the safety to rely on his “cheats” like the grey fog, completely alone just with his own power, was fantastic. he lost his marionette but in comparison what he gained from this ordeal was extremely good!!! he knows the truth about the hornacis mountain peak, about zaratul’s situation (who is free now btw……… uh oh……) he exacted revenge on the killers behind the great smog of backlund, he got the potion formula for sequence 4 bizarro sorcerer, he discovered the sequence 0 of his pathway is The Fool, and he even got an awesome new upgraded creeping hunger with more slots and abilities!!!!!!!! despite the rather horrifying and dark sections there was also fun parts, the developments were very tricky and unexpected— some were according to my speculations but other things were very much not and it shocked me. it was honestly a perfect arc. it also makes sense to me now how amon would be interested in the fool…. he most likely knows that’s the sequence 0 name of seer too, he’s lived a long time and would surely be intrigued with that right

and after this due to the lingering trauma from the incident klein had to consult miss justice audrey for psychological help for the first time which was 🥹 she told him to not give up, don’t keep everything inside & to wish for happiness pleaseee I will cry she’s so sweet

—

LEONARD FINALLY FIGURED OUT THAT KLEIN IS STILL ALIVE UEUEUGHFJhhhyuUHOUGHHHHHRAGAHHFHFHFHHHH😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

he finalllyyy connected the dots that his old friend resurrected and is sherlock moriarty and gehrman sparrow. he even went all the way to tingen to dig up klein’s grave to check for sure if he was there and found it empty… URGH URHG urgh dies. leonard became aware that klein is connected with the fool and that his goal is the same as his own— to take revenge on the people who destroyed their team and ohhh he was Sooo emotional about it. my heart broke reading the way his eyes teared up and his hands trembled when he thought about klein? please its so 😭😭😭😭 oh my god I love them 🥲🥹💖 and klein got in contact with him as his identity dwayne (which leonard thinks is azik), trying to protect leonard and warn him about dangers from a distance. I weep 😭😭

—

speaking of azik, the stuff with him afterwards gosh my heart Again. so his soul was fractured into two by Death…… the answers he had been seeking all this time was that heartbreaking truth. he successfully found the other half of his soul, but it had already become a horrible monster :(((

I can’t imagine just being faced with That creepy creature other version of you, and knowing if you rejoin with it, this missing piece which you’d been searching hundreds and thousands of years for, it will completely change your whole being into a monster too. one that is cold, cruel, and insane, you will lose all your humanity. but if you don’t, you will continue to reincarnate repeatedly in the immortal torment cycle, endlessly losing and regaining your memories 😔

it was such a close call for a minute there bc he was drawn in against his will, but after being given a set of options azik made the incredibly difficult choice to give up that piece of his soul forever 🥲😭 I am happy he did because I really didn’t want him to turn evil, but gosh the sacrifice was huge wasn’t it

ultimately azik didn’t want to lose himself, his humanity, feelings of love and happiness, his beautiful memories with his children and his loved ones. as a result he will be doomed to forget again & again once more but at least this time it was by his decision right…? 😭 klein is there to write a letter to help him remember this time too, so maybe it’s not so bad…….. ough. that’s beautiful I cries 💔

“Sleep isn’t a bad thing either. At least I’ll have dreams. And in those dreams, I never left”

—

YEAH AND THE MYSTERIOUS DEAD ANGEL SEALED ARTIFACT IS THE DESCENT VESSEL OF THE EVERNIGHT GODDESS. EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE

SHE SMILED AT KLEIN BACK THEN DURING THE GREAT SMOG

SHE PURPOSEFULLY TRANSPORTED KLEIN TO THE HORNACIS MOUNTAIN PEAK REALM SO HE COULD UNCOVER THE SECRETS?

SHE ASSISTED AZIK WITH HIS DECISION

SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN WATCHING KLEIN/THOSE CLOSE TO HIM???? HE IS AN EVERNIGHT BLESSED…… HE WAS SINCE HE TOUCHED THE SWORD BACK IN VOLUME 1. HEY!

and she now controls the artificial death I guess :0

—

I had many thoughts up to this point so before I get to ranting about the finale of the volume lemme go through them

first, klein adventuring in the southern continent!!! return of danitz and anderson!! (who’s been suffering recently, poor guy) klein turned a monster pathway beyonder into his marionette which gave him control of fate abilities, And turned admiral hell ludwell into his marionette too!!! thank you azik :3 the news spread like wildfire and gehrman sparrow easily gets more famous and feared, as he should mhm 🙂‍↕️

now I had this little wondering since before which I’ll mention— the spirit world colored lights. I know that they can sense a slight abnormality on klein as shown by yellow light before, but I’m curious how they would treat The Fool if they directly met him? because he is the existence that rules above the spirit world, above the grey fog, would they be his subjects then?

ALSO KLEIN THE WORLD DWAYNE DANTES MET AUDREY AND THEY R WORKING TOGETHER NOW HEHEHEHEHE I loooove when he meets his tarot club members 💖 I need her to meet him as gehrman sparrow in the real world now

and seriously every chapter that goes by I get more concerned as to where amon is 😭 like he is directly trying to track down the fool’s believers in backlund. he is Around.

anon feels creepy to me in such a unique way like a storm constantly looming on the periphery. his brief appearances are enough to make people literally jump up and run for the hills Like. him just being in backlund made leonard + pallez & klein instantly gtfo. he’s been the only entity capable so far of sticking his hand directly into the grey fog. all of these super ominous vibes surround him, and yet the last I saw of him he was casually having dinner at a random backlund pub???? the juxtaposition????? guy has a sense of he doesn’t gaf, he’s enigmatic which is even More eerie imo. it feels like any minute his avatar will suddenly appear and attack, and from the impression im forming so far it feels like he’ll casually do it like he’s ordering a coffee. idk yet if im right w that but I just Know the encounter is going to happen at some some point 100%. it’s just a matter of when…. the apprehension.

also y’know I never expected to see zaratul appear before the azik memory plotline reached its conclusions, and I certainly didn’t expect to see the azik conclusions happen before will auceptin’s birth. I no longer have any ability to predict where this novel goes and that’s beautiful.. I did love the progression of how things went though. the structure of having azik’s matter completed, leading directly to the evernight goddess reveal whose hints were scattered in since volume 1, leonard’s realizations, and all of these tying together into the situation regarding ince zangwill was so smooth

anyway I started getting scared bc I felt it was the calm before the storm and

Boy Was I Right !

—

INCE. ZANGWILL.

THE CONFRONTATION IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG FINALLY HAPPENED AAAAGRGRHHRAHHHHHH I was Enraged at that man during the whole battle. I legit started to wildly type annotations to express my disgusted reaction while reading I wanted him dead 💀

klein marionetting himself to escape the notice of 0-08 that’s my intelligent friend right there 👍👍 + LEONARD MADE ME CRY. BUT HE CHANTED THE FOOL’S NAME!! GET HIM IN THE TAROT CLUB NOWNOWNOWNOWWWW

when klein finally appeared on the battlefield in person, as klein moretti, I Freaked Out, the entire scene of klein executing Ince Zangwill was SO PEAK SOOOO PEAKKKK OH MY GOD 💥💥💥💥 EACH BULLET SHOT HE DEDICATED TO A DIFFERENT PERSON THAT INCE ZANGWILL HURT IN THE PAST OHHH IT WAS AWEOSME HEHRKGKGG AUDHFJGIGJGFBW 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥HSVFNFIFJFHDBDB DBFBFFBFHCBFBSKWODJGJGIDISICFJEBFBFHRKDJFJHHGGGHOOOUFJGJGNGN AFBNFFKKBDAAJNFE I DIED

THE DANCE I SOBBED SO MUCH HE REALLY TRANSFORMED INTO DUNN SMITH TO GIVE DALY A LAST DANCE WITH HER LOVE ONE FINAL TIME

AND HE ALSO TURNED HER INTO A MARIONETTE SO SHE COULD DIE PEACEFULLY AS A HUMAN NOT AS A MONSTER THAT LOST CONTROL. LEONARD WATCHED IT ALL W TEARS STREAMING DOWN HUS FACE HES JUST LIKE ME hyughhHDHGUGHhh daly :((( this was so sosososo beautiful but IT HURT SO MUCH DTOP PLEASE

in the middle of THIS klein fully digested marionettist, under the watch of adam (who stole the quill btw, that’s not good…..) he finished the grand performance of killing a high level creature which was the ritual condition, finished the dance and drank the bizarro sorcerer potion THEN HIS WHOLE SELF LITERALLY RIPPED APART ??? RIGHT WITHIN ALL THAT EMOTIONAL DAMAGE HES GOTTA PIECE HIS MAGGOT-SELF BACK TOGETHER R U SERIOUS? GOD IT WAS REALLY HORRIFYING TO VISUALIZE THAT IN MY HEAD BUT HE DID IT HE FINALLY SUCCEEDED IN BECOMING A DEMIGOD YAYAhaha👏👏👏😭😭😭

within this most agonizing grieving way possible, the leonard & klein reunion finally happened. they finally talked to each other after a year guys omg 😃🫰

leonard tearfully asked if he’d come back and then klein Turned Away, said he can’t return anymore, and Left. 🙂

FMLLLLLLLLL

NOOOOOOOOOO IM ALREADY ON THE GROUND WHYY 😭😭🫡🫡😭😭

and WHAT was that cliffhanger? there’s cocoons hung up in the grey fog by the weird door thing above the steps with the spirits of ppl from earth in them??? tf does this mean ? that’s so painful of a cliffhanger why would you end the volume like that 😭

I have no words tbh how can I be normal after reading this I need a personal apology 🚶

I’ve been distracted all day since last night w dry eyes making this post from my notes while repeating the scenes in my head. the emotional catharsis and tragedy was excellent it affected me really hard <\3

everything that happened from beginning to end of this volume was amazing, it was easily my top favorite volume so far. the last part is certainly my #1 favorite scene ever ❤️‍🩹 I love this novel so much it’s the most specialest bestest ever

there was lots more stuff going on like the red angel medici, the marauder pathway girl hazel with her rat teacher, the psychology alchemists stuff with audrey, but idk if I can form any additional theories abt that right now or analysis of any characters other than what I already have written here, I’m emotionally exhausted 😭 I just need to start the next volume and know what happens okay that cliffhanger was mean. and in this next volume I’d better see my boy leonard joining the tarot club!!! c’mon he’s basically there already he chanted the fool’s name, him and klein can’t just separate like that again. let me have this please. my lotm playlist needs more songs as well, especially some emotional ones now, im working on it and just sitting with the feelings more. :’) if anyone has any recommendations lmk

I love klein I love gehrman sparrow I love leonard mitchell and audrey and azik peace and love for everyone 🫶 not ince zangwill though im glad he’s dead.

next up volume 5, see you again soonnn ദ്ദി(╥﹏╥)

1930s Horror Film Posters

This was a huge project, and now they're finally all together: A collection of 10 posters for horror movies from the 1930s - with a personal, legally distinct twist! Having my legacy feature actors in the 1930s gave me the perfect idea for Simblreen. Horror movies (especially monster movies) were a huge genre in that decade, so I just had to make my characters star in some of the most famous ones. The text is entirely in Simlish, but the (main) actor names have been changed to the ones of the sims shown on the respective poster, while the others names are the same. Also, whenever a studio is credited, I've changed it to the Plumbob Studio.
