how do you clone a fey? that's trick question; and fey love those!

@the-navistar-carol (<333) brought up a good point while I was talking about my changeling danny au with her -- Dani! How would she exist in this au? Danny's a changeling - a fae. How would Dani, a clone of him, be created? How do you make a fey? Not through any means that Vlad is doing; you can't make a fey through unnatural means, considering the Fair Folk are nature. And Vlad's not a fey himself -- he's a halfa, even if he could make a fey, it's not in his best interest too. He's a powerful ghost, but even the weakest fae can overpower the strongest ghost. He won't want a clone of Daniel to be more powerful than him.

(In a three tier hierarchy it goes Ancients -> Fae/Mythos -> Ghosts. They all live in the Infinite Realms, but on different Planes. The fae live above the Ghost Zone in the Fey Wild, while the Mythos live beside the Wilds or down in the ghost zone depending on where they are. Places like the Frozone, the Athens Acropolis, and other such large islands climb throughout all three Planes.)

(While Ghosts can travel into the Fey Wild, its generally advised against as the ectoplasm tends to manifest differently there due to close contact magic. It can make it rather disorientating for a ghost, and as human spirits, the Fae living there would jump them faster than they could blink. So unless you're willing to play mind games with 'steal thy name eat thy face' fae, most ghosts keep out of the way of the Wilds. Fey can travel down into the Ghost Zone, they just don't bother.)

That's of course, not taking into account if Vlad even knows Danny's a fae himself. Vlad doesn't ring me as someone who really cares much about ghost culture or the going ons of the GZ. He might be aware that fae exist, but the moment he realizes he can't use them for personal gain he just doesn't bother with them. The risk is greater than the reward, and he'd rather not get eaten. But lets assume he's aware by now that Danny is fey, and has to take that into account while cloning him.

So, how does Dani exist? Good question! Honestly; i'm not sure. She might not exist at all, or if she does, she's more halfa than fey. Vlad would need a lot of human dna and ectoplasm to balance out all that fae magic. He manages to steal DNA from Jack and Maddie to do it, and since Jack's fey ancestry is very dormant its much easier to use alongside Danny's DNA.

In turn, it results in a little girl whose more human-ghost hybrid than clone. With that little extra boost in fey magic making her not a fey, but still relatively powerful. Dani is less of a clone and more of a lab-grown little sister. It's a rather tedious, complex process that has Vlad tearing his hair out trying to figure out. But he does eventually figure it out.

Summary: Coco prepares for the birth of his and OC Daniela's child. All while enduring hazing from her brothers and trying to cope with his own anxiety about being a good father.

As always my stories are 18+.

Tag List: @keyweegirlie @hatersaremymotivators @meera10 @im-just-a-mississippi-girl @kikijackson-blog

"I still can't believe you got my baby sister pregnant" sighed Angel as he dropped onto the couch next to Coco dramatically making him roll his eyes but not looking up from the book in his hands.

"Kind of a shit move. She had her whole life ahead of her" joked EZ as he clapped Coco on his shoulders from behind the couch.

"My bad. Figured after being married for two years this would be fine. Though I am starting to wish I had rethought the relationship after realizing you two idiots were her brothers" snarked Cocoas he shook EZ's hands off him and stood from the couch.

"If I didn't know better I would think he was the one pregnant and hormonal" stated Angel as they watched Coco stalk off and upstairs. EZ simply nodded as he took Coco's vacated seat.

***

Dani was upstairs finishing her makeup when she saw Coco appear in the doorway a frown on his face. "You okay love?"

Coco flopped onto the bed and sighed trying to decide if it was worth stressing her out to tell her his rising anxiety about the birth of their daughter. "I'm good mami" he finally called as he heard her move into the bedroom. "You look stunning" he added as he propped himself up on his elbows taking her in. Lucky, he thought to himself. He got lucky that night all those years ago that she had turned down that alleyway.

Dani put her hands on her hips as she stared him down. "Don't deflect Coco. I know something is bothering you so spill it"

Coco took a deep breath as he met her eyes. There was no use in trying to deny it any longer. "What if I am a bad dad? What do I have to offer? I messed Letty up and I can't stomach the idea of doing that with our little one. I know its too late but I don't think I can do this Dani" explained Coco as he buried his face in his hands as tears spilled down his cheeks.

"Coco, my love" murmured Dani as she moved to the bed and tried to pull him as close as possible with her baby bump. "You are a great man and a great father. I promise you that. Letty has grown into a lovely young lady and you did what you thought was best for her. I know in my heart you will do the same for our little girl. I am honored to get to raise her with such a gentle, kind, hardworking man" soothed Dani as she rubbed his shoulders.

Coco nodded as he listened to Dani speak. He knew she would never lie to him. "Thank you. Sorry for this" mumbled Coco as he sat up and kissed her cheek.

"No apologies needed love. I got you like you got me" replied Dani softly as she caressed his face. A knock at the bedroom door had them both turning.

"Guests are arriving. E is getting everyone settled" stated Angel as he looked at the floor awkwardly.

"You go on mi amor. I'll be down in a couple minutes" stated Coco as he stood up offering his hand out to Dani to help her off the bed. Dani nodded and made her way out of the room, giving Angels arm a squeeze as she passed by.

Once Dani was down the stairs Angel turned to his friend. "Hey man, I hope you know its all just jokes. EZ and I couldn't ask for a better guy for Dani to be with."

Coco nodded as he took a deep breath. "I know man. Just got a lot on my mind. Don't want to fuck this up"

"You won't. You love my sister to much to do that. Besides you got me and EZ to help ya" replied Angel with a grin.

"Thank god I got Boy Scout and Pretty Boy to help me. Whatever would I do without?" replied Coco sarcastically as he chuckled as he stood up making his way out of the room with Angel.

95 theses (meowers version), grief, Pt2

As promised, here is some continuation on the previous post which you can find here.

Upon rereading the previous conversations and actually being awake longer than 30 minutes I'll redo my previous assignments a bit.

Denial: Alcina, we see this best in how she handles cult related matters I think. She knows her daughters have been cursed yet denies the problem and does nothing. She most likely knows what she's doing isn't right yet she denies this to even herself and just keeps going. And in her bad end, when MC rejects her, she denies this too, and turns her into a statue so that she'll be with her forever anyway.

Anger: Cassandra, I think anger shines through most in her cult ending, the way cassandra deals with grief at first is to simply pull back completely. She hides away in the manor for weeks until her mother presents an opportunity to wipe away what happened and get a clean slate. It doesn't feel like she actually processes the grief and strikes out in anger. Killing the person she loves to wipe it all away.

Bargaining: Donna, I think we can see this best in how she deals with Angie dying. Instead of moving on she bargains with Miranda, she won't accept death and so turns her own niece into a doll. Also as a followup from @h-doodles: She knows that her relationship with mc in any route is a bargain. good end donna is possessive bc she know miranda lets her have mc in her clutches, and she knows the price of her actions on the next game. neutral end & cult end donna (from what i gleaned i STILL cannot be mean to her im so sorry) is that she is stuck between angie and mc. she is never free from being able to choose between them and that is why donna is bargaining. she will always have something to lose and she is stuck in that stage!!!!!!

Depression: Bela, her curse reminds me the most of depression, emotions numbed, going through the motions, still trying to feel despite all of it and frustrated with yourself for being trapped like this.

Acceptance: Angie, this little ball of sunshine feels like the very embodiment of acceptance. From the way she makes friends to accepting the flaws in people, the way she deals with grief, as we can see with Claudia, also seems to be one of the most well developed. While she still grieves her, she's also accepted that it's happened and moved on with her life.

Hope: Daniela, while I initially assigned Dani to Anger in my rambles I think she represents hope pretty well. Even after losing the relationships she has again and again she doesn't give up, she keeps hoping that eventually she'll find someone she can be with. I don't think Dani would be the same without that hope.

In conclusion

party at her apartment in downtown ontario.

            it  started  with  just  a  few  people.  a  casual  get  together  with  three  or  four  of  jordyn’s  friends.  an  hour  went  by,  and  her  living  room  was  filled  with  a  few  dozen.  before  she  knew  it,  mutual  friends  invited  friends  of  friends  until  jordyn  seems  to  be  hosting  a  late  night  house  party.     wall  to  wall  her  luxury  apartment  is  packed  with  both  familiar  and  unfamiliar  faces,  jordyn  knows  her  neighbors  will  likely  have  complaints. but,  that’s  something  for  future  jordyn  to  worry  about. right now,  jordyn  is  concerned  with  getting  herself  another  drink.  making  her  way  to  the  kitchen, she stumbles through the crowd of people -- scolding someone for putting  their grubby   fingerprints on her kid’s choice award on the way.   “ woah,  who  invited  you? ”   she  questions  the  brunette  boy  she  spotted,  pouring  herself  another  cocktail.  “ guess  it  doesn’t  matter.  you’re  here  already.”

dani i’m so sorry people are harassing you. i’m not a ts blog but i still follow you and a couple of other people because im a fan of hers and i’ve never been so disappointed. still it’s not like it’s easy to just… drop her. her music is deeply personal for many of us and no one can deny she truly cares for her fans. i’m so upset and i don’t get it because ???? what good is this doing for her? she’s being side-eyed by people, many of her fans are put off, joe is looking like he’s winning the break up, everything is being unnecessarily public and Matty is not even hot😭 like what is she doing this forrrrr. i understand the backlash for this isn’t big enough to have an economic impact on tour or SNTV but she’s shown in the past that she cares when she’s hurting people or at the very least when something makes her look bad (even simply from a self serving point of view she shouldn’t be doing all of this??)

i LITERALLYYYY just posted that even from the most self serving stand she could on this whole thing, it still looks bad for her. like girl no one is even talking about your rerecord right now

Heartbreak Hotel (d.s.) - Chapter Twenty-Four

A/N Christian and Daniel. Our favourite duo no matter the decade. 

“You’re lucky he didn’t break your nose.”

Daniel only offered a half groan in response, holding the ice pack to his nearly swollen eye as his mother carefully laid him down on his bed. Christian stood at the foot of the single bed, watching his badly bruised younger brother with stone cold concern written all over his face.

“I’m serious. He could have killed you.”

“But he didn’t.” their mother said sternly to her elder son, glaring warningly at him.

Christian sighed; both of them looking back to Daniel. He was laying flat on his back with his drapes pulled closed and his room near dark as he had a splitting headache that nearly made him nauseous with agony. He barely moved because every time he did, another wave of shooting pain ripped through his stomach and across his head. His mother tucked him under the blankets, being careful of the dark bruise that was forming larger minute by minute over his bare stomach, and she gently pet his tangled brown hair back from his face.

“Can I get you anything else, love?”

“No, Ma.” Daniel rasped out. “I’m okay.”

“Okay.” she leaned down to press a tender kiss to his forehead before taking the painkiller bottle from his nightstand. “Keep that ice there. The meds should start to kick in soon. I have to go start dinner but Christian’s going to stay with you, alright?”

“Mhm.” Daniel hummed in agreement.

Their mother stood up again from tending to her youngest son and turned to Christian, “Make sure he doesn’t fall asleep. Doctor’s orders.”

“Got it.” Christian nodded. He watched their mother leave the room to head downstairs and Christian sighed, turning back to the bed and stared at his brother for a moment in silence.

“Does it look terrible?” Daniel croaked out.

“Let me see.” Christian walked over to his bedside and carefully lifted the ice pack from his face. Daniel winced and blinked painfully up at his brother. His eye was certainly bruising and swollen, not to mention his nose and split lip that were puffy too, his pale skin stained slightly red from where the blood had flowed even after his mother cleaned him off when they got home from the hospital.

Christian sighed tightly and set the ice pack back on Daniel’s cheek, “Well you don’t look too disgusting.”

Daniel huffed, “Thanks.”

Christian pulled over his desk chair and sat down at his bedside in momentary silence. Daniel just took a moment to process what even happened; still trying to wrap his brain around the first punch yet alone the numerous ones that followed. He had never been hit like that before. He had never been hit at all before.

His brain itself physically ached but yet he could only think of Loretta. He wondered if Corbyn ever hit her like this.

“Probably not.”

Christian’s sudden volume started Daniel a little and he turned his head slightly to look at him in confusion.

“I said no, he probably doesn’t hit her. He doesn’t seem like that much of an asshole.” Christian repeated.

“Oh…” Daniel breathed. “I thought I said that in my head.”

Christian simply stared at his frazzled little brother and scooted his chair closer to the bedside, “Is now a good time to say ‘I told you so’?”

Daniel scoffed lightly.

“Corbyn’s not going to let this go easily; he’s not going to let her go easily. You should start thinking if this is all worth it.”

Daniel turned to glare at his brother quickly, wincing in pain at the speed at which he moved and he raised a hand to his neck. Christian sighed and took the ice pack from him to rest it against his neck for him and Daniel whimpered softly.

Christian continued before Daniel could speak, “I know you’ve been waiting to find your soulmate for your whole entire life but sometimes it doesn’t work out. There are so many people that never find their soulmate and they’re perfectly happy with someone else.”

Daniel sniffled a little, “I don’t want some other random girl. I want her.”

“You’re seriously going to get yourself killed fighting for this bird.”

“I don’t care.”

Christian looked up to his brother’s beaten face, his blue eyes shining with tears through his bruised skin. Christian sighed, shifting the ice pack to his jaw gently, “You love her, don’t you?”

Daniel’s nose scrunched up as he tried to hold in his tears but it only made his face hurt more and he groaned heavily through a small nod.

“No crying.” Christian shushed him softly. “It’s just gonna hurt more.”

Daniel took a small inhale to try and calm himself down, turning his head back to face the ceiling as Christian held the ice pack against his face for him. The brothers fell into silence for a moment, Christian just watching Daniel motionlessly even as his eyes started to flutter closed.

“Hey. No falling asleep.” Christian said strongly to wake him up.

“I’m so tired.” Daniel mumbled.

“I know, buddy. But we gotta keep an eye on you.” Christian explained softly as he shifted the ice pack to the purple bruise that was forming over Daniel’s cheek.

Daniel took a small breath, trying to keep his eyes open, “I wanna see Lori.”

“That’s not a good idea right now.” Christian whispered.

“Corbyn doesn’t gotta know.”

Christian cracked a small smile at his brother’s sleepy rambling, “I’m saying no because your face might scare her.”

Daniel turned slightly to face him and shot him a weak glare, “That’s not nice.”

“Those drugs are kicking in, aren’t they?” Christian chuckled.

Daniel pouted at him and nodded lightly.

“Yeah.” Christian smiled and brushed his hand through his messy hair. “You took it like a champ apparently. Jack and Zach called home after you were taken to the hospital and they said you didn’t even throw a punch back.”

“He didn’t let me.” Daniel pouted.

Christian let out a small laugh and Daniel’s lips perked into a little smile himself and the brothers shared soft chuckles together.

“Hurt so bad.” Daniel giggled. “He had rings on.”

“Shit, that’s not fair.” Christian tisked.

Daniel shook his head slightly in agreement. He licked his chapped lips a little before speaking shakily, “They matched the one that Lori wears around her neck.”

“Yeah?”

“Mhm.”

“Well I’m just glad you’re okay after such a bash.” Christian shifted the ice to another spot on his brother’s face.

“I’d take it again.” Daniel mumbled.

“Don’t say that.”

Daniel’s eyes raised to Christian’s, “I would. I’d do anything for her. I had her…I was so close to having her and suddenly she’s gone, y’know?”

Christian’s lips pulled tight, “Yeah. I know. I know all too well.”

“But yours wanted you. She just had to go home. Mine doesn’t want me.”

“Well…I suppose. But it doesn’t feel any easier.”

“Wanna trade?”

Christian couldn’t help but smile sadly at his brother, “That’s just fine; thank you though.”

“I don’t wanna see Corbyn again.”

“I don’t blame you.”

“I don’t wanna come back to work and have to see him.”

“You don’t have to. I’ll let the manager know what happened and I don’t doubt Corbyn will get sacked for it too.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Don’t apologize.”

There was a beat of silence. 

“Corbyn punched me in the face.”

“Yeah,” Christian laughed lightly, “I know.”

“A lot.”

“I know. And I won’t let it happen again, okay?”

Daniel nodded lightly, his eyes starting to close again but Christian shook his shoulder lightly to wake him up. Daniel blinked up at him and Christian brushed his hand through his hair again.

“No one hurts my little brother. Not even my friends.”

“Are you gonna punch Corbyn?”

“No. Violence doesn’t solve anything.”

“You could knock ‘im out.” Daniel giggled sleepily. “You’re a big tough guy now.”

Christian swallowed thickly, leaning forward to rest his elbow on the side of the bed as he iced Daniel’s swollen face, “No I’m not.”

“Yeah you are. All scary and leather-y.” Daniel reached out an arm to brush over the jacket that Christian wore.

“I thought I was, but I’m not.” Christian shrugged off the jacket as if looking at it was wrong of both of them and then gently moved back in to pat the bag of ice gently over Daniel’s split lip. “I was angry at the world when my girl left and I tried to find something to distract myself from all that hurt in my heart. And I think I just hurt you and made you feel really alone in the process, huh?”

Daniel hesitated, not wanting to hurt his older brother’s feelings, but then nodded slightly.

“Yeah.” Christian sighed. “And I’m sorry for that. But you know I’m still the brother you always knew me as, right?”

“Right.”

“Good.”

The two brothers fell into silence a moment in the dark room, Daniel fighting to keep his eyes open and both simply listening to their mother making dinner downstairs. Daniel’s breathing was shallow and his bare chest rose and fell under his bedsheets as he stared at the ceiling otherwise motionless. Christian iced his face without and word and wondered what was going through his little brother’s mind; in that mix of love-sick heartbreak, physical pain, and a touch of strong prescription pain killers.

Daniel shifted a little under the sheets, wincing as he moved, and smacked his chapped lips together a few times before running his tongue over them. He mumbled out a weak, “Chris.”

Christian leaned closer over the side of the bed to hear him better, “Yeah, Dani?”

A peaceful smile grazed Daniel’s beaten face, the heavy drugs in his system slurring his words behind his split lip and bruised jaw, but he batted his eyelashes up at his brother with a sweet and calm, “Lori’s eating spaghetti and meatballs for supper.”

Her

Daenerys Targaryen x fem!reader

Word Count: 900

Warnings: men 

Author’s Note: i was watching the room while i wrote this, thats why its so badly written because i got used to the bad writing of the room. I named my cat daenerys so im sorry chicka this is so bad but ive never written for her before SO 

Summary: Fear for a future marriage that would not be you and Daenerys. 

Genre: fluff

I don’t own these characters. They belong to author/director 

(not my gif)

Daenerys watched you from the balcony. Your hair glistened in the setting sun. You looked regal. At peace. Even if your mind was constantly at war. That was the territory that came with being beside her side. You were together all the time. You had followed her from the home that she was forced to leave up until now. She was so close to the fight for the seven kingdoms and yet so very far.

“They want you to take a king. For the sake of widening your reach, fortifying your armies.” 

Your voice sounded distant, like you were speaking to her but not really. You still faced the sun, your dress flowing down your body easily. It was her favorite on you. She had sent someone to get it made for your anniversary last year. 

“If I do it will simply be political,” she promised. She folded her hands in front of her, watching your motions. 

“That man will not think so,” you said. You turned around and faced her, leaning against the balcony. You had been together for ages, ever since her husband had died. Before then you were friends but it quickly turned to something else as you both grew into power. Her dragons treated you more civilly than anyone but Daenerys. You were as thick as thieves. You shared a room and it wasn’t a surprise to her inner circle that you were together.

To the public you were friends. To the suitors who wished to seek her hand you were friends. Friends that slept together and were in love that is.

“You have to stop wondering about this,” she said. You shook your head.

“You have to believe me when I say I love you more than any man will, no matter the extent of their riches.” Daenerys floated around the room toward you and placed a hand gently on your cheek. You looked at her solemnly but it looked as though she understood. 

“I know you will. I believe that there is no one else for me but that does not mean-” 

“My Queen.” You stepped away from her but it was simply Missandei who never seemed to care how close she found you and Dany. Daenerys gave you a look before turning to Missandei.

“Yes?” 

“There are people here to see you. They’ve come across the waters,” she said. You were surprised to hear that. You had still wondered if anyone had heard about Daenerys and  her endeavors but you shouldn’t have underestimated how fast word travels. 

“I’ll be down in just a moment,” she promised. 

Daenerys turned back to you and placed a hand on your arm. She watched your eyes and gave you a light smile that you couldn’t help but return. 

“Any man who believes that they are doing the right thing upon taking me away from you is no man that I will think of marrying.” You nodded, happy to hear that. “That being said, I cannot rule out needing to marry. I may not want to but it will be political. You’ve heard of the Lannisters.” 

You couldn’t help but laugh a little at that.

“We share no blood Targaryen.” 

She rolled her eyes. She raised her hand to play with your hair.

“Still. I have no duty to my husband as I have to you. I swear it.” 

“I hope you know your dragons will never like anyone as much as they like us. “

Daenerys chuckled, stepping away and grabbing her dress jacket.

“With how good you are with them, perhaps we do share some blood.” 

“Oh please, you wouldn’t want to be such as the Lannisters. Even if the Targaryens had done it years ago.” She put her jacket over her shoulders and handed you yours. You started on your way down the stairs. 

“Have you seen how the Lannister children turned out? I would rather not,” she joked. 

You continued to joke as you walked down the stairs together, wondering about the sense of the world. You reached the visitors who ended up being men that were not rather fond of her but also not angry for her.

In the end you faced it together, for better or for worse. 

And at the end of that day, it was the two of you rather than her and a man who wanted her title, her dragons and least of all her.

if you're comfortable, could you say what specifically you hated about the finale? i never got into amnesty but i liked balance so i would like to know how disappointed i should be ://

okay i’m gonna explain this in-detail exactly Once bc i’m trying rlly hard to just forget about the whole epilogue and keep it moving like that shit never happened, so for anyone else who is asking me why i don’t like the finale (and im not saying you’re wrong for asking, anon, it just seems that when you vocally do not like a thing there are hundreds of people who come out of the woodworks to ask you why and i think thats kinda Huh, Weird of everyone but like whatever) i’m gonna lay it all out here on the table and you can take this as you will. 

i’m not gonna be getting into fistfights with people abt this so if you disagree please don’t try and banter with me. i am running on <4 hours of sleep rn (bc i dont value my physical or mental health above my grades hbgjrbgj) so sorry if this is a little hodgepodge too. my limbs are literally still trembling from last night 

also, CRITICISM OF ART DOES NOT MEAN CRITICISM OF THE ARTIST. I AM NOT CRITICIZING THE MCELROYS AS HUMAN BEINGS, BUT RATHER THEIR ARTISTIC DECISIONS IN TAZ: AMNESTY. MORE PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A SEPARATION BETWEEN ART AND ARTIST, AND ONCE YOU (AS AN ARTIST) POST A PIECE, IT BECOMES SUBJECT TO CRITICISM. I AM NOT BRINGING GRIFFIN, JUSTIN, TRAVIS, OR CLINT’S CHARACTERS INTO QUESTION; I AM SIMPLY GIVING A CRITICISM ON THE SHOW THEY’VE CREATED AS A WORK OF ART. 

oh, this goes without saying, but i will anyway: SPOILERS FOR AMNESTY (IN GENERAL, BUT ALSO FOR EPISODE 36) 

i’m gonna start off by saying, i don’t think the whole episode was a total disaster. there are two things mainly that have ruined the whole experience for me, but for the most part i thought the like first 2 hours of this episode were a lot of fun! the fight scene was a little bogged down in the rolls imo, but it didn’t deter me too much from the overarching boss battle. the intro was a sick concept, i enjoyed the callback bits spliced in w newly scripted bits from mentioned past encounters, that was all well and good. i loved beacon in the episode, and god do i wish he stayed for the whole thing. 

my problem mainly sits with the epilogue, which is why i think the whole episode turns sour in my mind. because the epilogue is supposed to be what satiates your desire to know more, right? not to reference balance too much (bc these are two completely different stories w different premises, and for people to so readily compare them is kinda wack. that being said, they are two stories made by the same people that use an epilogue to wrap up the loose ends, so im gonna make this one comparison), but the epilogue told us, the listener, all the things we wanted to know about after the day of story of song. we got to know what they did, a little bit of their interpersonal relationships, and we even got a big group scene with the killarey wedding! 

this epilogue, though, feels like it left so much still on the table. one of those things i will swing back to later because it is the largest part of my argument, but after all of this time we still don’t know why everyone at the lodge got exiled! no one talks about it! we don’t know how dani ended up there, or jake, or barclay, or moira, or anyone! they don’t reference the banishments at all, which i think is a huge shortcoming figuring that is the core premise as to why these characters exist in our pc’s world in the first place. 

i also feel like the concept of the worlds being divided for a long time is kind of a dumb way to go about framing what they do After The Fact. like, they could have had those scenes happen without the looming concept of them being divided, especially when their big reunion scene is like 2 minutes long and basically does nothing. what would have been a cooler premise is if billy connected the worlds, and the worlds worked together in rebuilding themselves. we still could’ve had the same bits happen (for the most part), but i just think that whole separation bit kinda alienated the pc’s (especially thacker). 

but everything up to aubrey’s epilogue bit is fine. i have some problems, but it’s fine. where i started to completely abandon the work itself though is duck’s bit, and i’m gonna get into it by saying this: I know Justin Mcelroy is not legally required to make all of his characters gay, but this whole scene was just a big reminder to me that this show is done by 4 straight white men

and yeah, my big problem with this scene is the fact that justin had to make Duck/Minerva a thing. because it adds nothing to the story while also being a very skeevy concept in-general, and it reduces minerva’s character down to the Hero’s Girlfriend trope and it’s so comphet and she doesn’t deserve it. 

my first grievance with this: It adds nothing to the story. 

had justin not even mentioned the relationship part of their interaction before the scene actually took place, this scene would be like every other scene involving duck and minerva prior to this. duck says honey once, and even that could’ve been played off as duck just being affectionate to his friends (which is a thing, i call several of my friends “my love” irl and it isn’t a big deal). minerva doesn’t even use pet names, she calls duck by his full name, which is exactly how she addressed him in every other scene! duck’s speech is a genuine heart-puller, but it was completely soured by the fact that justin had to premise this entire scene by saying duck and minerva are a thing. 

my second grievance: it’s a skeevy-as-all-hell concept. 

this whole premise is nasty seven ways from sunday, and it is my biggest problem with duck’s bit as a whole. for starters, and i think more people need to mention this, minerva meets duck on the night of his 18th birthday. which means duck has literally just stopped being legally considered a minor before minerva appears before him. and honestly, i would still consider duck a minor in this case because he has literally just turned 18!!! his brain has not developed past one of a 17-year-old on the exact date of his birthday, and i argue it will not until he is at least in his twenties. keep in mind, your brain does not stop developing until you are about 25. so while in the legal sense, duck is an adult, in both the mental and emotional sense at that exact moment, duck is still a minor. AND he’s still in high school, as referenced in his response to her call to duty: “i got class tomorrow”. and minerva is old enough to have become the minister of defense for her homeworld, go through an entire war, and have several other chosen ones (including leo tarkesian, who is at least 20 years older than duck) before meeting duck. so that makes her much, much older than duck when she meets him. and i don’t care if they had barely any interaction after that first moment (though they did, as justin legit talks about when he introduces minerva as a concept to the show), that still establishes their initial interaction at a massive age difference. which, regardless of anything, makes their eventual relationship so genuinely messed up. 

sure, you can argue that when you get older age doesn’t make that much of a difference, and i would agree. my mother is 53 and her husband is 63, that’s ten years. but my mother and step mother did not meet at 8 and 18, they met at 50 and 60. the initial interaction makes all the difference between “older people meeting and having a relationship” and “a very messed up situation”. 

also, in this same argument, taking the mentor-student relationship and turning it into a romantic relationship IS SO MESSED UP!!!! GENUINELY AND HONESTLY MESSED UP!!! i feel like i don’t need to explain this because there have been so many examples already as to why this is a relationship you Should Not turn romantic, but i will anyway because it frustrates me so much that justin completely glosses over this!!! the power dynamic of a mentor-student relationship, in whatever way it is portrayed, displays a power balance that is heavily leaning to one side. there is not an equal distribution of power amongst the two because one person is teaching the other. the one person is weak to the others wills and whims because of lack of experience. think of your high school teacher or college professor; if you started a relationship with them, people would raise so many questions because you are not at equals to the teacher/professor. even if they treat you different, and even if they no longer teach you, it all has to do with the initial interaction. and minerva was still duck’s mentor up until either episode 34 or 35, when she handed off the title of Herald of the Astral Mind to duck. that means for nearly all of their interactions, there was a mentor-student dynamic. to have that turn into a romantic relationship is so sketchy and weird and leaves a bad taste in my mouth. 

my third grievance: it reduces minerva’s character down to a girlfriend trope, and it’s comphet as hell 

my friend tin (@taako–waititi) phrased this so well in the big group chat im in w her, so imma just quote her on this and then go into the comphet stuff: 

“i was dming max about it and they also mentioned, quote, ‘her story was never about romance. it reduced her down to ‘competent woman becomes endgame girlfriend’ trope’ and they are so right it makes me fucking pissed. regardless of any ‘mutual respect’ and ‘emotional intimacy’ kind of thing going on that some people are arguing for, it’s something that didn’t need to happen because minerva’s character becomes that. my thing is mutual respect and emotional intimacy between two people can. exist. without it being. romantic. like. friendship is. also valid. i personally don’t think that mutual respect and emotional intimacy are two buttons that you press to make the machine churn out a romance” 

not only does it reduce minerva’s character to tropes, but it also is extremely comphet for a woman who is so heavily wlw-coded or lesbian-coded and it just angers me. you could argue that she could be bi, but if we look at canon for just its face-value, the only romantic interaction she ever has is with a man, which basically makes her straight. this isn’t like aubrey’s situation, where travis clearly states she is a bi woman who is just in a relationship with another woman in amnesty. griffin doesn’t state anything about minerva’s sexuality and then she’s paired off with a man right at the end. and you could argue that she isn’t wlw or lesbian-coded, but i am not the only one who is wlw and thinks this, so i feel like i have more of a ground to stand on in this opinion. and this just feels so, like, textbook compulsory heteronormativity it made me feel physically sick when i heard this bit in the podcast. 

so that’s my first big issue with the finale, fully explained. my second issue with the epilogue is that ned’s death continues to be disappointing and his character arc is never completed, which just tanks the whole show for me. 

i’ve talked about this several times since ep 28 about how ned’s death was stupid and did nothing for his character arc, but i’m gonna reiterate my main points for the people who find this post without knowing my whole blog:

1. ned’s main interpersonal conflicts are just brought to the surface and never fully delved into before his sudden death. ned doesn’t ever get to explain his history with boyd and why he had to steal shade tree to mama or barclay or really anyone besides vaguely to aubrey. 

2. every character is just immediately expected to feel sad about ned’s death, despite the tension that still remains right up until the very end. aubrey shouldn’t have even known that the shapeshifter framed ned because that’s all explained once she goes to sylvain, but i think travis just assumed she did because he heard the interaction between ned, mama, and barclay. so she should’ve had Way more conflicting feelings about the whole thing, but ned’s death is just angst-bait so that doesn’t happen.

3. ned’s death doesn’t make roll sense because clint rolled a mixed success and mixed successes, by definition, are supposed to be less severe moves than a failed roll (which gives the gm the ability to make a hard move). there isn’t really anything harder to do to a character than kill them, but even if you wanted to argue that if clint failed the roll the hard move would’ve been ned failing and letting dani get shot, it still doesn’t change the fact that clint rolled a mixed success when slamming into the pizza hut sign at full velocity and came out of that alive (severely injured, naturally, but still alive). 

so, yeah, there’s that. and then theres the fact that griffin doesn’t ever give us any other scenes involving ned directly. ned only becomes a reference from 28 on, which is so disappointing given ned’s importance to the other two pcs. and i understand that the mcelroys have a lot of trauma related to death, but griffin shouldn’t have killed ned off then if he did not want to talk about death in graphic detail. we all have trauma. we all want to avoid topics. but to kill ned off and then never talk about his death in great relation to the others is a genuine disservice to ned’s character. 

the day episode 28 aired was the same day i buried my grandmother. i would have loved if death wasn’t brought up, but i don’t control the podcast. the mcelroys do; they had the ability to avoid this topic in a more servicing way to the characters and they didn’t. that isn’t to say they are bad people for not doing it, but it makes the finale even more disappointing because it means we never get the full rounding out of ned’s character arc. he becomes this like brief reference that is, once again, angst-bait or emotional fuel and i feel like he didn’t deserve that. he deserved a genuine reference, a genuine moment. even a dream sequence i would have appreciated!!! 

griffin had sylvain directly point at ned in aubrey’s flashback in ep 35, and then did nothing about what that could have implicated in the finale. it sours the entire episode in a major way and disappointed me immensely. there should have been more done with that topic and there wasn’t and i will never forget how deeply it hurt me and turned me away from canon as a whole. not to be ned kin on main, but ned was the backbone of this show and the exact moment he left was the exact moment the whole thing went downhill. it turned less into a story about growth and adversary and amnesty and more into a waiting game for when this very loose end was going to get wrapped up. 

i wanted to enjoy this episode. i tried so hard, y��all. but just the thought of ned loomed over me the entire time and i was waiting for a more proper completion to his arc, and it never happened. and coupled with that very bad and skeevy duck/minerva bit i was just so frustrated and hurt last night. 

so, yeah, that’s my whole spiel. you are free to disagree with me, but keep that opinion to yourself because i’m not getting into it with anyone. i will just block you; it’s better for us both, anyway. 

[fortunatelylori]

Do you subscribe to the theory that Jamie is The Prince that was Promised/Azor Ahai? It certainly makes a lot of sense. I can't see anyone being Nissa Nissa but Cersei. There just aren't too many true couples on this show and if anyone was going to kill their loved one it would be him for so many reasons. I mention this because it could tie into the whole Sansa kidnapping plot. I can see this actually happening first. Jon will definitely put WW on hold for Sansa. Jamie killing Cersei

Also, Dany could fulfill the Younger more Beautiful Queen. This needs to happen before Cersei dies and Sansa just doesn’t fit that role yet. Dany could very well end up in KL trying to take the Throne from Cersei instead of helping with the WW. Sansa taking everything she holds dear also really doesn’t fit. I mean she thinks she took Joffrey from her but she really didn’t. But what she holds dear now is power. And the only realistic threat to that at the start of 7 is Dany.

So maybe Dany is on the Throne pretty early and during the WW? Sorry for the long ask. Thank you for answering!

Hey, nonnie!

Firstly never apologize for long asks. I love hearing from you guys. :)

Onto the questions: 

Do you subscribe to the theory that Jamie is The Prince that was Promised/Azor Ahai?

No, I don’t. For one, I’m not convinced that The Prince that was Promised and Azor Ahai are the same person. Melisandre is the only one to mention both prophecies as pertaining to the same person but Mel is an especially unreliable prophecy reader. Aside from her, Maester Aemon mentions the Prince that was promised as well but makes no mention of Azor Ahai and it seems that Rhaegar first believed he was the prince that was promised to then switch and think that his son by Elia Martell was this prohecized hero. And because Rahegar was an idiot who could bungle a glass of water, he also believed that this was somehow related to the Dragon must have 3 heads prophecy of which we know absolutely nothing at this point. 

Here’s what we know about the prince that was promised. He was “Born amidst salt and smoke, beneath a bleeding star” and: 

The prince is said to have “a song”, the song of ice and fire. 

We don’t know if Rhaegar also believed the prince that was promised was Azor Ahai so the entire connection between these 2 prophecies seems to come from Melissandre. And again, I wouldn’t put much stock in what she thinks because she’s a religious fanatic who actually manipulates events to suit the prophecy (having Stannis pull a fake Lightbringer from the flames on Dragonstone) because she really, really wants it to be true. 

I’m pretty sure the prince that was promised is Jon. His is the only story that is linked to both fire and ice. He is the literal product of the song of ice and fire (the son of a Targareyen and a Stark) and his story is connected to both ice and fire through out. He fights against Ice in the form of the White Walkers and he encounters both the false Azor Ahai (Stannis) and now D*ny, who is the person associated the most with fire in the series. If the Dance of Dragons 2.0 and dark D*ny theories become canon, his song of ice and fire would be his titular role in both these great wars that are about to visit Westeros. 

But this is only supposition on my part at the moment because we simply do not have enough information to make an informed guess on this theory. 

Now, onto Azor Ahai. Who is this guy? According to the Ice and Fire wiki: 

Darkness lay over the world and a hero, Azor Ahai, was chosen to fight against it. To fight the darkness, Azor Ahai needed to forge a hero’s sword.[3] He labored for thirty days and thirty nights until it was done. However, when he went to temper it in water, the sword broke. He was not one to give up easily, so he started over.

The second time he took fifty days and fifty nights to make the sword, even better than the first. To temper it this time, he captured a lion and drove the sword into its heart, but once more the steel shattered.[3]

The third time, with a heavy heart, for he knew beforehand what he must do to finish the blade, he worked for a hundred days and nights until it was finished. This time, he called for his wife, Nissa Nissa, and asked her to bare her breast. He drove his sword into her living heart, her soul combining with the steel of the sword, creating Lightbringer, the Red Sword of Heroes.[3]

Although he had Lightbringer, Azor Ahai did not fight alone.[5] The Jade Compendium mentions that when the hero thrust the blade through a monster, the creature burst into flame.[6]

So Azor Ahai is a mythical figure that hails from Asshai and he kills his wife in order to forge a sword that then kills creatures by bursting them into flames. Cool … 

Now, considering that this legend comes from across the world from the place where the Long Night happened, that this grisly tale of human sacrifice is toted around by religious fanatics who then use it to burn people at the stake, does it seem likely to you that this guy is meant to be the savior of humanity? Does it seem likely that this obsession with fire could actually lead to defeating the WWs, creatures we know are impervious to fire? 

Also, note that the actual story of Azor Ahai is not told to us by Melissandre, Azor Ahai’s greatest fan girl but rather it’s told to Davos by his pirate friend, as a cautionary tale about the dangers of believing in prophecies and the dark underbelly of blood magic. 

I think it’s far more likely that Azor Ahai is not a hero. He’s a villain and the elemental opposite to the Night King.  R'hllor followers herald Azor Ahai’s second coming with such encouraging words as: “ he will bring an eternal summer” which sounds great if you worship fire but in reality an eternal summer is about as bad as an eternal winter. If the WWs unbalance the world by plunging it into night and winter, Azor Ahai is supposed not to bring balance back but to unbalance it in the opposite direction. 

Considering the placement of Azor Ahai in complete opposition to the WW and the obsession with fire of the followers of R’hllor, I’d say that the best candidate for this position is one D*enerys Targareyen, which doesn’t sound surprising since many people theorize the same. The twist is that AA was never meant to be a hero but rather an antagonist. @trinuviel has a fantastic series regarding this topic and I would encourage you to read it. She goes into a lot more detail than I am able to provide. 

If anyone is destined to be the hero to save the world from the Long Night that character is Bran Stark. Except that his story doesn’t link to Azor Ahai but rather to the legend of the Last Hero, who is also identified as Bran the Builder (this connection is not fully established yet but I believe the characters of the Last Hero and Bran the Builder to be one and the same). What do we know about the Last Hero? 

Legends of the north state the last hero and his companions went in search of the children of the forest during the Long Night, thousands of years ago. The only survivor of the company after attacks from giants, wights, and Others, the last hero eventually reached the children and gained their assistance. The Night’s Watch then formed and won the Battle for the Dawn. This ended the generation-long winter and sent the Others into retreat,[1]possibly to the Land of Always Winter. The fate of the last hero is unknown.

If the theory that Bran the Builder and the last hero being the same person is true, then we also know that this first Bran (who incidentally is mentioned in connection to our Bran in the series by Maester Luwin), with the help of giants and the children of the forest, also built the Wall to keep the WWs at bay. So the legend in Westeros, the epicenter of the first Long Night, includes no human sacrifices and no mention of fire but does include a Wall that still stands to this day that has magical properties. 

As for Nissa Nissa, it’s hard to know who or what she represents at this point. We don’t know how much of Azor Ahai’s story is made up or embellished and we don’t know the true purpose of this story. I don’t think the show will shed much light on this since the Nissa Nissa story is never really brought up in the show. What I do believe is that no matter what this turns out to be, it won’t be played straight. In a series that has highlighted the dangers of prophecies, I just can’t see a human sacrifice, if it does anything, to lead to anything good or at least to its intended purpose (people theorize that the burning of Shireen paid for Jon’s life, however that was not the intended purpose of that sacrifice, nor is that an element present in the repeated resurrections of Beric Dondarrion). 

I do think Jaime is the valonqar that “shall wrap his hands about Cersei’s pale white throat and choke the life from her” but I don’t think that has anything to do with the Azor Ahai and/or Prince that was promised prophecies. 

Also, Dany could fulfill the Younger more Beautiful Queen. This needs to happen before Cersei dies and Sansa just doesn’t fit that role yet.

I disagree. I believe that D*ny is a red herring for this prophecy, much in the same way that Maergery was a red herring. D*ny seems the obvious answer but her story isn’t linked to Cersei’s in any way. Their clashing is incidental, because one sits the Iron Throne and the other covets it. There’s nothing personal there to make the fulfillment of this prophecy resonate. 

Aye. Queen you shall be… until there comes another, younger and more beautiful, to cast you down and take all that you hold dear.

You could assume that this “other” is another queen but it need not be. “Another” could simply refer to another person/woman. Or Sansa could be queen by that point. That is also possible. If the marriage between her and Jon happens prior to the downfall of Cersei, she could be another queen. Also Sansa has been intimately involved in all of Cersei’s tragedies even though she is not directly responsible. She was the one that carried the poison that killed Jofferey, the war with her brother is the reason why Mycella was sent to Dorne, Jofferey’s death leads to Tommen becoming king and eventually killing himself. And, by the end of this series, Sansa might end up as queen of the Seven Kingdoms effectively replacing Cersei. 

It isn’t that Sansa is directly responsible for what happens to Cersei but that she ends up taking everything from her in a way that no one could have predicted unless you look back at the events. This is the type of twist that GRRM loves to use with his prophecies, whereas D*ny being the YMBQ would be playing it straight and rather uninspiringly so. 

There’s also the matter of D*ny being foreshadowed never to touch the Iron Throne. They made a point of showing it in the series so I’m pretty certain D*ny will never sit down in that chair or be Queen of the 7 kingdoms even temporarily. 

Thanks for the ask! 

[rowancrowe-blog]

[rolls out from the trash] hey :) so this past couple of weeks were a roller coaster, and i see i missed a lot. but i’m back and i finally have a plot page, so if anyone is interested i have some ideas down the cut for both my girls!   [if you like any of the ideas/have a similar one/have a plot you’d like to do and think either rowan or willow can fit it, feel free to like this and i’ll be on your IM’s :) ]

FOR WILLOW 

NEW POETRY-- “you might be the death of me. suffocating, please let me breathe. kiss, kiss. lights out. i’ve got to. we’ve got to.”  (OPEN TO 1)

-Willow and MUSE hate each other’s guts. However, it seems that whenever things get heated between each other, they get seriously heated. The only time they ever agree with each other is when they’re tearing each other’s clothes off. aka hateship.

AUF ACHSE-- “you see her, you can’t touch her. you hear her, you can’t hold her. you want her, you can’t have her. you want to, she won’t let you. she’s not so special, look what you’ve done.” (OPEN TO 1) 

-For some reason Willow has found an interest in this person. Her true intentions are unclear even for her, but she seems to linger around wherever MUSE is. MUSE thinks Willow only wants to get then in bed, and she lets them think so. aka unrequited crush. (TAKEN BY JACKIE SAMPSON)  Alternate:  -MUSE has an interest in Willow, and she founds that funny. Often teasing them about it. She might give in or not, only time can tell.  aka Willow is trash. 

-church acquintances. (open to everyone forever) they hate her. they are afraid of her. they feel uncomfortable around her. they think she lost her way and they want to help her see the light. anything, tbh just give me these connections. 

-neighbors. (open to everyone in peregrinis forever) “TURN YOUR FUCKIGN MUSIC DOWN WARREN. !!1!1!!!11!”  So Willow absolutely pays no thought on how thin the walls can be, so she has her music turned up 24/7. That’s only bound to annoy people. Unless someone actually thinks she had nice taste lmao (Taken by Carmen de la Cruz.) 

-other students that major in business or anything related to that. (Open to multiple) maybe they teamed up a couple of times. either things went good or bad. (spoiler alert: underneath all that trash, willow is lowkey a nerd) (Taken by Park ‘Dani’ Dan Hee)

-trash friends. people wonder how they can even function. they probably would sell each other for a corn dog. (plot twist: they’re actually ride or die.) (open to 1 or 2) 

-actual trash friend. there really isn’t a friendship. it’s more fake than anything. who’s gonna sell out the other first? (open to many)

-soft friend. this person is so different to willow. the kind of person she’d just love to toy around with. however, she ends up toning herself down when she’s around this person. probably would fight someone if anyone does anything to this person. (open to 1) 

FOR ROWAN

NEVER SAY NEVER-- “i might like you better if we slept together.” (OPEN TO 1) 

While her personality and interests stay the same, Rowan usually adapts to other people. However, she simply can’t get well with MUSE. There’s just something about them, and MUSE doesn’t make it any easier as they don’t seem to get Rowan either. They don’t hate each other but their conversations always end up in bickering. Maybe there is one way to solve that tension. 

IS THIS LOVE-- “you're hiding under other people's skin, but it's way too thin.“ (OPEN TO 2)

Someone who sees right through Rowan. Either because they are the same way-- Just putting on a mask to go through life. Or maybe because they knew someone like that. Maybe they were like that. In the end, they just want to help her, or at least be a comforting shoulder. Alternate: Rowan knows what its like, to put on a smile when you feel all lost in the world. Maybe she’s a hypocrite for trying to help, maybe she’s not. All she knows, is how awful it can be-- And wouldn’t wish the same on anyone else. 

CHLORINE-- “i’m so sorry i forgot you. let me catch you up to speed.” (OPEN TO 1)

Despite having friends, Rowan isn’t really good at keeping them. Some of her friends are used to her simply dropping off the face of the Earth only to come back as if nothing has happened. But MUSE didn’t take it lightly-- They felt betrayed or hurt by her suddenly stopping talking to them. Rowan feels guilty about this and wants to fix it, the question is how? (Could be platonic or romantic) 

-ex. Bonus: also connected to Tatiana. If anyone is interested in this, we can definitely plan out more. But basically, they were dating and MUSE cheated on Rowan with Tatiana. (the reasons behind it, or how it happened are utp) (OPEN TO 1)

-other architecture majors!!

-people that thinks she had it out for tatiana: (open to multiple) and she lets them think so. probably doesn’t help her own case. at all. (Taken by Jackie Sampson)

-polar opposites. who knows how they started as friends? MUSE is bubbly or outgoing, or just everything Rowan isn’t. Somehow, they aren’t shyed away by Rowan’s apparent indifference, and Rowan simply rolls with whatever crazy thing MUSE says or does. (Taken by Logan Myoui, Sonny Thompson and  Mina Bae)

[daeneryses]

so

here’s what i think abt the episode

it wasnt as BAD as it seemed it would be but that doesnt mean it was good but my expectations were so fucking low that i could sort of enjoy it. 

but well lets unpack that shit

it began alright, the funeral was emotional, not much to be done there i suppose. jon’s speech was good. nothing spectacular. 

then the feast, which was also okay. but here begins one of my most serious concerns. what the fuck is up with sansa? in past episodes i could see her point, the north has been betrayed too much, it has bled too much, and southern rulers don’t quite get the north. but at the feast she was straight up dropping attitude towards dany, like damn girl aren’t u supposed to be a diplomatic figure in order to be a political mastermind? but well i’ll rant more about that later on. also dany legitimizing gendry was something we all saw coming i believe (even before the leaks i mean lmao) and it was a smart choice on her behalf really bc as tyrion pointed out gendry would never betray her, out of pure gratefulness if anything.

the feast lasted a lot lmao am i the only one who feels that way? 

we started to see dany drifting from jon bc for some reason my tiny brain cannot comprehend people seem to want him as a king and she know he could be king if the truth gets out (WHICH DESERVES A WHOLE ASS POST TO RANT). she also sees tyrion laughing with jaime and brienne and i just felt so bad for her? like everyone was ignoring her she was clearly uncomfortable there ;( maybe it just hit too close home ahah. Anyway, I understand her becoming wary, and i understand why she doesn’t want anyone to know abt jon’s parentage. which, ofc, jon doesn’t give a flying fuck so we end up in a very bad place (which, again, i’ll talk more abt later on)

i was pretty nervous abt the gendrya breakup ahah but it really wasnt that bad, i didnt really see it as a breakup as much as a  “c ya later” and im allowing myself to be hopeful for them. they’re both clearly very much in love but my boy’s a whole ass clown if he thought she’d say yes THAT quickly.

but im actually nervous about arya’s fate??? did she even say goodbye to sansa? bran? what the fuck was that??? she really plans to kill cersei and i just have a feeling in my HEART that she’s not gonna make it out alive and she won’t succeed either. why would u have her lecture jon abt the importance of family if she’s just going to clock out the next day. ALSO what the fuck was that line of her never returning to WF????? 

??????????????????????????????????????????????????

if she dies im gonna become a full blown alcoholic. its even worse if she dies by the mountain or some stupid shit like that.

anyways

lets fast forward shall we

when they were at the war council room (idk the name im sorry) SANSA WAS STILL PROVOKING DANY. WHAT THE HELL? was it ever explained why she distrusts her? or are we just supposed to go with it? i loved that jon for once in his life stood up for her. she lost so much, she lost her khalasar, she lost most of her unsullied, she lost JORAH. and you don’t even want to send men to fight a much less scary enemy? gtfo here. i have always always always loved sansa, and i could see where she came from when she initially didn’t trust dany, but this? dany gave them everything and more, what do they want from her. im also emo bc i always thought dany and arya would get along :( and now im wearing a clown costume. 

then the jon’s dumbass who’s a targaryen but inherited ned stark’s ability to disclose very sensible information at the WORST possible timing goes “hey, u know what will make them be at peace with dany ruling? knowing that i’m a secret targ and i can be king instead of her ahah :)x” and tells them. which, ofc, has many many consequences.

god they really are setting everything up for dany going nuts i hate this i hate this so much

everyone is plotting behind her back. that sneaky little treacherous rat varys is going to get dracarysed very soon and i will REJOICE. 

and i truly fail to see why, all of a sudden, varys doesn’t want her on the throne. i cannot see what she has done wrong, and i mean this. if it’s all bc she burned down the tarlys i s2g.... if this was all done properly, if this was well written, if dany had truly started to show signs of madness, i would not be complaining. but the second she suggests using heavy force on KL to end the war once and for all, she is MAD!!!1111! aerys reborn!11!!! get the fuck outta here w that im fuming

but well im just rambling now. we all know that rhaegal survived a fight with his undead brother but died bc apparently NO ONE saw the massive fleet that was somehow hiding behind a rock. god i wish i was joking this sounds like bad fanfiction. also they killed missandei just for the lulz apparently and to give us what they believe will be a justified reason for dany going mad. thanks i hate it.

the way she said dracarys though ;___; she wants dany to obliterate the whole lot of them.

also the show really sad fuck jaime lannister huh. 

like, it’s the same shit guys. amazing episode if you look at the technical aspects, the music was great as usual, the photography is impressive, it feels like you’re watching a blockbuster movie not a TV show and that definitely counts for something, but the story is simply not good anymore. they are crushing everything they’ve built up to this point character-wise. everyone’s acting so so so ooc it’s unbelievable, and sadly i can only see one way for the “story” they have begun to tell us. they are going to destroy the single most important character of the show, the most ICONIC character in the story of TV, one of the most beloved characters of our times, and turn her into a monster just so jon can save the day. if that ain’t trash writing, idk what is. 

i also want to point out how great the cast is. it amazes me each episode. this time in particular emilia was amazing.

i guess that’s the sad part, that this show has it all to be the best of the best, but they decided to butcher the story, which cannot be saved, no matter how amazing your crew, cast, and production is.

[chrismerle]

so @nicxan and I decided that, since Dan is like 90 % possessed by a thunder dragon by now, at some point Shai should see that side of him. also Dan is the captain of a ship called The Citadel and it can turn into a zubmarine. Shai eventually joins the crew as...sort of an auxiliary engineer, because Dan’s engineer got shipped to the Tomb Colonies and he’s also aware that Shai is healthier when London is far away.

anyway

(also casual reminder that I have a ko-fi)

The rocking of the ship has long progressed to bucking, and Shai has given up on getting any sort of work done to instead sit on a stool in the corner and try valiantly not to lose their dinner. It’s been weeks since they felt anything even tickling of seasickness, but the zee this evening is harsh and even some of the crew members who have been with Daniel the longest are looking a bit green.

There is shouting just outside the door to the engine, and the ship jumps so aggressively that Shai goes sprawling to the floor. They scramble back upwards, snatch their cane, and go darting out of the door. The floor is wet, but hardly enough to truly worry about it.

“What the hell is going on?” they demand, grabbing the doorway for balance as the ship bucks like an ornery horse. “Harry?” they ask, catching the first mate’s arm as he hurries by. He doesn’t slow as he answers, and Shai falls into step beside him.

“Cap’n’s steerin’ us straight into a storm. Bigger’n any others we’ve seen this season,” he reports, leading the way back up to the deck. “No one can seem t’ get ‘im t’ turn back.” He sounds calm, but while Shai doesn’t know any of the crew especially well, they’ve been on The Citadel often enough to hear the edge of nerves underneath.

They emerge from below deck, and lightning turns the water silver in flashes, and thunder cracks like Shai’s rifle as it fires. Shai tugs their goggles into place from the top of their head. The deck pitches and the ship lurches so harshly that for a moment the ship is nearly sideways and waves are pelting the deck. Harry catches the back of Shai’s coat with one hand when their feet threaten to slip out from under them, and digs in his heels, but not everyone is quite so fortunate.

“Man overboard!”

The cry goes up like a mantra, from zailor to zailor. On any other day, it would have had Daniel’s undivided attention in an instant. Today, it’s as if he doesn’t even hear it.

Already, there are two other crew members throwing a rope ladder overboard, but the zee is not calming just to give them a chance to work. Harry lunges for Donnelly and Shai for Henrietta as the ship bucks again. Just barely, Donnelly and Henrietta keep hold of the ladder, and Harry and Shai keep hold of them. Edward’s head emerges from beneath the water, and he makes a mad grab for the ladder, though it isn’t until his second grab that he manages to keep hold of it. As soon as he has his arms tangled in it, the ship rocks like it’s trying to take flight. Using its momentum, Edward’s is hauled back onto the deck, where he collapses in a shuddering heap.

There’s a moment of stillness. Just a split second. And then a wave rises so high it crashes over the deck, and The Citadel dips sharply towards the port side. The five of them go sprawling, the left side of Shai’s head striking the decking with a thump they can feel in the opposite side of their jaw. The world goes grey for a second, and for a moment all they hear is the sound of their ears ringing.

Slowly, they lever themself up to all fours, waving Henrietta off as she makes a grab at them. They shake their head briskly, chasing off the spots across their vision. It’s only when their vision fully clears that they realize that one of the lenses of their goggles is cracked.

They reach for where their cane landed and climb back to their feet. They turn towards the helm, wait for the most recent wave to pass, and then take off. Their steps weave with the pitching of the ship, but the effort of keeping their balance makes it easier to ignore the pain beginning to blossom through one side of their head.

When they reach the helm, they need to grind to a halt. Daniel is watching the storm with a single-minded focus, a grin on his face like he’s watching the gates of Heaven open. Lightning bathes The Citadel in silver light and the stink of ozone, and thunder roars like it’s trying to rattle the ship apart. Just barely, they can hear Daniel laughing with the sound.

Shai has had too many nightmares about the thunder reaching out to them, and for an instant they feel like they’re glued in place as they remind themself that they are awake.

“Danny!” Shai jerks forward the last few steps when Daniel doesn’t even react. They grab for his shoulders and wrench him back, claws snagging on sodden clothing and biting through it. That, at last, drags Daniel back to the present. He sucks in a harsh breath and tries to pull away, but Shai simply spins him so they’re facing each other and grabs hold of his shoulders again, just as tightly. They give him a rattle, barking, “Danny!” again.

Daniel just stares at them for a second, eyes clouded and wide. And then abject horror rapidly takes over his expression. He makes an aborted gesture, reaching towards the side of Shai’s head that hit the decking, only to instead realize what’s going on. He tears himself out of Shai’s grasp and lunges for the wheel again.

He hurls his weight against it, fighting the storm’s grip finally and trying to turn The Citadel away. When she proves unwilling to cooperate and the wind nearly wrenches the wheel from his hands, he shouts as loudly as he can, “Activate the zub!”

Shai lingers at his shoulder until the deck and the hull judder and begin to shift their shape around them. They tip their head back, watching as the hull closes around them. There’s a moment of vertigo as The Citadel begins to drop beneath the surface of the water. Finally, Shai backs up until their back meets the hull, and they slide down to sit. Their head thumps back against the hull, and they close one eye when that only reminds them that they have a raging headache building.

Once everything is comparatively still, they realize they’re shaking, and the stabilizing rod of their left arm is bent almost to breaking. Their teeth are chattering, and they aren’t even sure if it’s because they’re soaked or because their adrenaline is rapidly fleeing their bloodstream.

From the corner of their open eye, they can see Daniel side-eying them fretfully. He stays at the helm until the anchor has dropped and he’s sure that the zub’s bobbing is at a manageable level. Only then does he step away from the helm to crouch in front of them.

He reaches towards them, and they snap their teeth in a manner that’s more reflex than intent. He jerks his hand back minutely, and then reaches forward again when Shai makes no move to follow up on the threat. He hooks a finger around the strap of their goggles and tugs them down to dangle around their neck.

“You’re bleeding,” he observes, and he already sounds so apologetic that Shai can feel their irritation melting away.

“You are, too,” they point out, lifting a hand to wiggle the blood-tipped claws at them. “I’ll be fine. I always am.”

Danny looks a bit like he would like to shake them, and that look of consternation only gets more intent when they cock a crooked grin at him. He doesn’t shake them, though, which is probably for the best. Instead, he simply offers a hand and pulls them back to their feet. While at first he seems intent on escorting them back to the engine room, the pair of them only make it a few steps from the helm before what seems to be every crew member at once needs his attention.

Shai steps aside to let the crowd swarm, and continues on their way.

——

Hours have passed, and the storm is still shrieking up above. It itches at the back of Daniel’s skull, but he tunes it out. He’s made his rounds from room to room, checking in on everyone. The final stop is the engine room.

He pauses outside the door for a second before pushing it open and stepping inside. Shai is in the middle of making what minor adjustments they can while the zub is more or less stationary. Their goggles are still around their neck and they’re wearing their auxiliary arms, their usual pair sitting on the table and waiting to be cleaned.

It’s Shai who breaks the silence, wondering mildly, “How’s Ed?”

“Still barfing up zee water, but otherwise in one piece,” Daniel replies, rubbing the back of his head with one hand.

“Any other injuries?” they ask, glancing over only briefly.

“A couple concussions—I’m including you in that number, by the way—and a lot of wounded pride over actually getting seasick,” he replies. He folds his arms and leans one hip against the table. “You’re going to tell me you’re fine, but how are you?”

They offer a sidelong grin before turning their attention back to the engine. “Just dandy. Courtesy of Harry, my ass wasn’t the one that landed in the water. Speaking of, your first mate needs a raise.”

“He’s aware,” Daniel confirms earnestly, nodding along. “Just—“ He pauses, and pinches the bridge of his nose between two fingers before he drags his hand down his face. “That’s not the first time that’s happened, but it’s usually not that bad. You didn’t need to see that part of me. Sorry.” The last is offered as more of a mumble towards his boots.

With a sigh, they slide their tools back onto their belt and finally turn to face him. They make an expectant gesture, and then a slightly more impatient one when Daniel doesn’t immediately step into range.

Shai cups his face in both hands once he’s close enough, and their eyes narrow as they scrutinize Daniel’s face. Daniel’s gaze darts from side to side in bemusement. He’s not sure what Shai’s looking for or if they find whatever it is, but they let him go after a moment, instead grabbing his ponytail and giving it a tug.

“You do that again and I’m throwing you overboard,” they inform him decisively. Daniel’s pretty sure it’s a joke, and he smiles lopsidedly in response, but he can’t say he’d be surprised if there was an ounce of truth to the threat.

“I’ll keep it under wraps,” he assures them, bringing an earnest hand to his chest. “If I don’t, Harry will probably help you throw me overboard.”

“Fuck that!” Henrietta pipes in, leaning around the door frame. “I’ll do it myself!”

Shai doesn’t laugh, to their credit, but they’re grinning like a cat that snuck into a creamery. Daniel makes a show out of flipping Henrietta off before she hurries on her way.

Jan 18 Blurr’s Horror Stream - A Series of Unfortunate Events 1

Livestream was shit and we didn’t quite finish the first episode before giving up.

Prowl liked the human children and liked how awkward everyone was. Also he was unusually cuddly with his soon-to-be amica.

Welcome to the 'speedxstealer' room. The chat room has been cleared by the moderator. ItsyBitsySpyers: *Yes hi hello he heard there was an opportunity to get away from the noise of the party at the complex behind his base.* B l u r r: [[ oh fantastic.

ItsyBitsySpyers: //What kinda news-breakin' is that?// starscream: How did he even know they would be there? B l u r r: The right kind. Airachnid: They do not seem that upset over their loss. Whirl: Yep, and some of them let temselves get real damn clever. Whirl: Probably in shock, I'd say. B l u r r: Those ones end up dead. B l u r r: Or between my teeth starscream: Must be used to losing people FakeProwl: *everyone is awkward and matter-of-fact. prowl identifies with all of them.* ItsyBitsySpyers: *Soundwave absently reaches a hand out to scratch Buzzsaw on the back.* Whirl: As long as they're no ally of mine, go to town, Blurr. B l u r r: Humans shouldn't be allies. Whirl: But  keep your mitts off MY humans. Whirl: Tough. You want mine, then you can fight me for them. starscream: why do you have humans? B l u r r: You shouldn't have human allies. /scoffs and slouches more / You'd think the last week would have taught you that. Whirl: We HAD humans allies last week. B l u r r: Did we? Ah, pity. B l u r r: I forgot them already starscream: HAD, they died? Whirl: Nah, we parted ways. B l u r r: thank the pits. starscream: I thought humans lived longer than that Airachnid: [she pulled on the hammock and gave Whirl a glace. Is he willing to share the hammock?] B l u r r: If that Yeager human touched my wheel one more time... Whirl: *looks over and sits up, scooting. But of course, Airachnid* Whirl: You wouldn't do squat. B l u r r: I would have. B l u r r: I got in his face twice. Whirl: *sly look* And upset Roadbuster? Airachnid: [happy chirrup before climbing into the hammock] B l u r r: ... /growls and looks the other way / starscream: how wonderful Whirl: Anyway, if we're going by track record, I have more to hold against CYBERTRONIANS than humans. ItsyBitsySpyers: *Soundwave huffs. That's as amusing as it is horrible.* B l u r r: I have more to hold against humans. So, we agree to disagree. Whirl: I'm fine with that. YOU'RE the one telling me who I should and shouldn't ally with. *deadpan look* B l u r r: / shrugs/ Some alliances just shouldn't be made... starscream: How is she that clueless ItsyBitsySpyers: //Heh.

ItsyBitsySpyers: [][][]Bear witness.[][][] B l u r r: ... /looking around / __Whirl: Blurr? You and Roadbuster got a little something. __Whirl: And with a little attention, it could be a LOTTA something. B l u r r: W-we don't! /sits up/ Whirl's lying! FakeProwl: I'm not interested in bearing witness to you butting in on somebody else's business. Airachnid: You stuttered. B l u r r: I mean, sure, I'd like to tear his spine out, but that's it! Airachnid: [she doesn't mind, she loves drama] __Whirl: O-HO, that's incredibly rich, coming from YOU, Prowl. B l u r r: Besides... I have JT. ItsyBitsySpyers: *Soundwave's planning on letting Frenzy run with Blurr for a little while. He needs a few things he can hold over Blurr's head in an emergency.* __Whirl: But furthormore--I don't care. And--yeah? B l u r r: / lmao good luck soundwave / __Whirl: I mean, sure, you seem to like him--WHY, I can't fathom, he's been dreadful to you--but obviously you should talk to him FIRST. FakeProwl: *vaguely waves whirl off. they both know whirl's being the obnoxious one here.* ItsyBitsySpyers: *Who says he'd take it straight to Blurr?* ItsyBitsySpyers: *Roadbuster might find this whole thing interesting.* B l u r r: [[ kay screw it. ]] B l u r r: [[ im shutting down because im frustrated. ]] __Whirl: ((sorry dude :<)) ItsyBitsySpyers: ((thank you for struggling as long as you did <3 )) B l u r r: [[ we can still use the chat, though ]] __Whirl: ((YES you fought the good fight!)) B l u r r: [[ or you guys can or whatever ]] __Whirl: ((WELL I AIN'T DONE WITH U BLURR)) B l u r r: / waves at Whirl/ He hasn't been bad to me... B l u r r: We just... disagree at times. __Whirl: Yeah, sure. Pfft. I still owe him. B l u r r: Of course. __Whirl: And don't think I WON'T tear his face up, either. B l u r r: ... Don't do that, I like that part. __Whirl: He shouldn't have done it to you, first. ItsyBitsySpyers: *An interesting new show; completed paperwork for something he did not expect to ever be asked, legal reasons or no legal reasons; fine company and good contact. Here is a content noodle.* B l u r r: Okay, fair. But, I did warrant it. __Whirl: And HE'S warranted HIS. __Whirl: *you mess with whirl's friends, you get the clamps* __Whirl: ANYWAY, like I said--*waves a claw* You seem to like him, so whatever. But, yeah, I mean, talk to him about it. B l u r r: Fine fine... /waves claws / B l u r r: Talk to him about what? He doesn't have say on who my friends are... __Whirl: Are YOU the only person who JT's seeing? B l u r r: ... /makes a face/ Is that important? __Whirl: You're not, are you. B l u r r: I don't know. I don't ask. B l u r r: / does know. / __Whirl: So he shouldn't have any grounds to say you can't do the same, if you want. FakeProwl: *the content noodle has a content car* __Whirl: Now--jeez, I'm not gonna PUSH you, or anything. *he says, while absolutely pushing Blurr* __Whirl: But jeez, not all of us are lucky enough to have this sort of thing. Maybe consider not letting it slip away? *tilts head* B l u r r: / tilts helm and whirrs gears.

He has right to tell me when and when not to be happy... B l u r r: he has every right. / dead asss serious / __Whirl: Then, Blurr--and I mean this in the nicest possible way. I mean this as a friend--you're a chump. __Whirl: *soft, exasperated sigh; this is HIS chump, though, for better or worse* B l u r r: / vents/ Look, it's complicated with me and Dodge, okay? __Whirl: I'm sure I wouldn't understand. *dryly* B l u r r: / rolls optic/ It's a long history that he and I share. If anyone has right to punish me, it's him. __Whirl: I punch whoever I want, mostly. __Whirl: Anyway, we're getting off-topic. What you do is up to you, Teach. Maybe you'll never talk to him again. The multiverse has a way of being distracting like that. __Whirl: But I'm just saying: I definitely noticed something there. __Whirl: *finishes with an alaborate shrug that might or might not accidentally bonk Airachnid in the side of the head* B l u r r: / tilts helmand twitches finials./ ... / shifts and sits back. Now he's thinking / Airachnid: [rubs the back of her helm, but doesn't do much other htan that] __Whirl: Whoops--sorry, mech. __Whirl: You're taller than I'm used to my company being. *sly look over at Frenzy. and then at umble* Airachnid: It's alright. No damage done. __Whirl: ((UMBLE)) ItsyBitsySpyers: *Frenzy lazily offers up an obscene gesture* Airachnid: [she'll take his comment as a compliment] Airachnid: [she's used to being called the short one] __Whirl: *MAKES ONE RIGHT BACK. with both claws up by his helm* __Whirl: *you know the one* ItsyBitsySpyers: \\HEY!\\ ItsyBitsySpyers: *Rumble yanks his brother back down.

Cease. __Whirl: I hate to cut early, Teach, but as you can see, I have a very important appointment to get to. B l u r r: Mm... B l u r r: / waves a claw/ I have to get back to the repairs on my ship... __Whirl: *nudges Airachnid* Seeya, mech. Airachnid: You have fun with that Whirl. Airachnid: Farewell. __Whirl: Oh, I will. Frenzy's a god damn delight on the battlefield. ItsyBitsySpyers: \\YOU GONNA COME GET YOUR AFT BEAT OR DO I GOTTA DRAG YA OUT HERE?\\ ItsyBitsySpyers: *From not in the room* __Whirl: *SNORTS and shifts, lifting one leg up absurdly high and then draping out out of the hammock and letting it dangle down* __Whirl: C'mon, mech. __Whirl: *he is legit gonna just let Frenzy darg him* ItsyBitsySpyers: *STOMP STOMP STOMP SWEAR MUTTER GRUMBLE *** FUSS SNAP GRAB* __Whirl: *FWUMPS to the floor and waves as he is dragged* Later, losers!

It has merit.]] ItsyBitsySpyers: *Up he goes, on they go, and out they go.*

being your friend is going to be the hardest thing i have ever done. talking to you and listening to your voice after a very long time has been the best thing so far. i missed you. so much. it hurt like heeeeelll when you said you didnt fall in love w me. and i know ive always said it’d be nice to know exactly why you broke it off so i can start moving on but god it hurts. like too much. and then you told me about the girls you slept with. and the hole in my heart got bigger. it was much of an existent hole but more of a concurrent burning hold ya know. and then you told me about the girl you liked and showed me the messages and the hole got worse. like alot worse. and when you cried and were in my arms the hole started to heal. when you were the most vulnerable in my arms i felt like i could be of help somehow and it made me feel better, i didnt feel as hopeless. and then when you kissed me the hole got a lot smaller. and we should not have but we did. and we stopped. and agreed we should not have. and then we kissed again. and so many things and voices in my head telling me it is such a bad idea. he doesnt love you. he doesn’t love you. he was never in love with you. and i kept asking you to tell me that this was ok. we could keep going on. and you told me you missed my lips. you missed this. you missed chemistry. your heart was beating so fast. and i was so happy to be in such close proximity of you again. i never thought that day would come. i missed your skin your face your arms your skinny ass body your touch. but then i remembered. you dont love me. you see, sex with you? i was in love with you before, and sex with you meant something to me. something intimate, something we could get into and only both of us would understand and know. and im still in love with you, i never stopped. so sex with you? still the same thing. but for you, i used to think it was the same. but it never was. you never felt the same way. and knowing there were two completely different things on our minds through that? that it was love and so much more in mine and lust and enjoyability for you? it hurt so fucking much. like so so so much. i tried to hold it in and just try to have a good time because you were enjoying it but the more i thought of it the more i knew at the end of the night i would die. knowing that it wasnt the same and knowing that it was never, special? i dont know. but i couldnt hold it in anymore and i cried. like a fucking pussy. and i wish i didnt. because you asked what was wrong and i had to tell you that you not falling in love w me was the reason i was such a wreck. i dont want you to feel like sht, more than you do now. i should have just shut the hell up. you dont care about me anymore dany, i dont think you ever did. not like that, not like the way i cared for you. and it was never a competition but i guess its true what they say, there will always be a situation where one person cares way more for than the other. and theres simply nothing you can do about it. you dont remember my birthday, santhiya’s name. you want to be friends now, and im so glad. im glad that i can be here for you. but im so worried its going to take a toll on me. i have been crying like a sad emo ass teen in a cliche cringey ass movie for the last two nights. im not that tired yet, but im afraid i will be in the near future. but. i know that all i have to do is tell myself that its for your happiness. ill be fine. always have. always been. you however, are not. i guess im actually not allowed to say i love you anymore. but i do. i love you. so much. and i guess theres nothing i can do about it. sorry, friend.

Episode 4: "I'm pan with a plan, and I'm here to make messy ass moves." - Maynor

So... Dog food is salty as fuck. No wonder my dog downs the whole bowl of water after he's done eating... What the hell dog food makers

SO THIS WHOLE dare challenge this has got me GOING right now. The whole impersonations and "Who will Win?" videos are going to be BIG indicators of who is close to from my tribe. BUT DEVON.... TOOK IT TO A WHOLE NOTHER' LEVEL. A NORMAL person would do a silly one y'know? Does this guy NOT do Sarah (someone I know he's close with) and state all these things he obviously knows about her. She goes to Michigan state, has a finsta, likes to make friends in games... etc. THEN THE PICK TO WIN VIDEO.... AGAIN A NORMAL PERSON WOULD DO SOMETHING SILLY. For example: I did JD and went on about how she is CANADIAN. DEVON GOES AND DOES: Jose and how he could be tricking us... and it's actually his strategy. I can not with this being anymore. BUT tbh I'm just GLAD he's making himself a bigger target than me in case we lose. ALSO: Chelsea showing that she knows stuff about Alyssa... ummmm NO. I'm scurrrred. As say they say in French I am "le fucked" here. TBH i'm NOT lying when I say I wasn't close to my old tribe. I literally was only close to Aidan but aside from that no one else. There was an alliance of Sarah/Aidan/Devon inside of the alliance of Dani/Maynor/Sarah/Aidan/Devon/ myself. It is driving me BONKERS that Devon (the one person I NEED on my tribe right now) is unintentionally and potentially fucking his game with his videos. This was avoidable imo. Johnny didn't say "you MUST put a target on your back"... THIS IS THE GUY I NEED TO STAY WITH ME. ALSO if I ever find out Alyssa is playing me I might cry. She's literally my bitch. She's awesome. I NEVER GET ALONG WITH GIRLS IN GAMES. EVER. I just know Sammy/Chelsea are close. I could see Alyssa being close to them too so I'm just trying to make myself as relevant as possible with Alyssa because if I don't she won't feel bad sending me out. If she has doubts about it I CAN WORK WITH THAT. Sammy is totally the glue between the faves on my tribe IMO. I just know I need to somehow get closer to Sammy. I just don't know HOW! Chelsea seems super quiet and it's hard to really get a read on her. I just hope we never have to lose because I will actually cry if José pops up with an idol and my ass gets sent packing.

So me and Jones have gotten closer and closer!!! So has me Jones and Nick as an alliance. The challenge went pretty ok but we eventually lost in the end. There's a joint tribal happening right now so we're all a little shook. The Green team is thinking of a way to stay safe through it all. The other tribe seems like it has some pretty nice peeps on it honestly lol. I watched their intro videos and Danielle's stands out the most. (I think she's the pizza one lol). The Green Team was originally going to try and get Jenna to flip back with us but we're not sure if she even values us so now we're going to try and flip with the fans and somehow vote Jenna out.

First of, can i say that i missed jones and tim. 😭❤️ Like im so happy i finally got to talk to them. I missed my DAD Jones. We have a duo alliance going on. I brought it up right when the joint chat was made. Its going to be great. As for the vote tonight. We are going to target Nick. And hope that Jenna stays with us.

HNNNNN Jenna isn't going to flip on the fans to my knowledge which really fucks over a lot of things. Now I'm not sure if I'm gonna be targeted or Jones or Nick. TJ and JD can go home and I'll be fine but I'd hate to get out right now. In my head I'm like UGH JENNA JUST FLIP BACK TO FAVS you'll be in a good spot and won't jeopardize anything!!! And you'll almost surely guarantee Jury!!!! But on the outside Im like.. omg ya fans vs favs is over the swap did that snatched wig tea okurrt PEriod. I just wanted a simple tribal but now I'm losing my shit. If I go after Nikias I will JUMP.

Honestly my allies bore me. I guess I trust them but I don't know... this other tribe seems to suck too. I just want a favorite to leave at this point because the fans are getting slaughtered. But Thomas is an interesting situation. We definitely have a past and he's the biggest threat but the devil you know is better than the devil you don't? But I know he'll pick Jess over me any day of the week I've been a little quieter so I predict people might have doubts but I'm loyal to my alliance for now. I'm just trying to lay low and make it to the merge before I can really be a crazy cunt. Nick is apparently the vote and I'm sad because he's also a minority? But not too sad because idk him.

updates: Maynor, Mitchell, Tim and I make an alliance maybe possibly? also,, we're probs gonna surrender to the fans lmao sorry JD :(

I think nicks going home but I’m kinda nervous. Jenna’s sticking with us fans apparently. Jonesy wants jenna out that’s all the tea I have

I was prepared to flip when they brought up Jones’ name. Like nah. I would lay down my game for Jones aka Dad. For this vote cuz i think theres a swap coming after this vote. Hopefully. It looks like its Nick tonight which i am fine with.

(i don't have the time/energy to film a video confessional) THEY'RE REALLY GOING FOR ME HUH MITCHELL THAT FUCKING RAT threw my name out to the rest of the fans because I suggested Jenna, and now they wanna vote me out (the only reason why I know is bc my king maynor told me) Maynor said he'd try to switch the vote, but right now, it's on me, and that's NOT OKAY HAHAHA. if it stays on me, then he's gonna flip. it's so INTERESTING how all I do is suggest someone who's a CLEAR MINORITY ON THE OTHER TRIBE to be voted out!! and then SUDDENLY some fake vague ass people wanna cherish her???? like suddenly she's the token person on the tribe??? that's fake as fuck and they know that. ok while i'm writing this,,, apparently the vote went off me. but it's also all up to JENNA like ARE YOU KIDDING. like,, y'all are a group of 5 people, you can come up with a decision on your own and she can go with it. like she's really chill, I like her I think she's cool, but she shouldn't be getting this treatment from a tribe that had her on the bottom before. i'm at a point where i'm just trying to get Maynor to flip to our side, because h's just as frustrated about this situation as I am. and I don't really want Nick to will me/tim his idol if we can get him to flip. ,,, so yeah *does fake ass stick out tongue thing*

This vote is a MESS. At one point it was Jones and then its JD and now its TJ and now I want to JUMP from a cliff. Also Nick is two faced. Apparently he had an idol hunt group composed of Alyssa, JD, Whats her face, and Himself. He probably used MY idol clue and I want to fite him.

Hi I’ve been very tired owo so I come out of nowhere and honestly I’m like, this is cute owo so now I’m just going to come out of nowhere when we swap, and honestly that’s cute :,)

so according to Maynor it's between Jenna and Nick, i'm still trying to work my magic on Maynor, and I think it's working. hopefully a swap is coming sometime soon though so i can kick Mitchell's ass laksdjflsdkj

I can't imagine being in a better position in this game. Think about it:

1. I got almost everyone's trust from the fans tribe. 2. I got swapfucked alongside Jess, who I barely spoke to prior. 3. I got connected with Jess and solidified a relationship. 4. I made connections with Sammy, Alyssa, Chelsea, and Jose. 5. We haven't lost a single competition, and now the other 2 tribes will be pitted against one another. Whoever votes in the minority will be forced to come to Jess and I, so in essence, we hold every ounce of power. Best case scenario: We get swapped into a tribe with current Hosororo and old fans, giving me the ability to pick and choose who stays and who goes. Worst case scenario: We get swapfucked and I need to make new relationships with alternative favorites. I would also be more than fine staying in the same tribe, considering there is a clear gap between our tribe and the other 2.

Our tribe really thought Jenna was the swing vote. Bish it was actually me. Im pan with a plan and im here to make messy as moves. Jones aka DAD. ❤️ I think im going to flip and do Jenna. While my fans + jenna are doing Nick. Im really hoping there is a swap cuz if there isnt im screwed. But its a move and me and Jonesy are going to be the villians of the season. But at the end of the day. A favorite is still going home.

Me and Jones went on call for an hour and talked about the vote. We're sticking with voting Jenna out. Jonesy worked her magic on Maynor and is getting him to flip. Also Mitchell is a bad bean akdjdjs. Anyways ... Me and My wig have decided to vote ... for Jenna Nick wanted me to play the idol on him since he's getting votes this round and Maynor may not flio but HNNNNN i dont want that target on me just as of now. It'd be too risky and since he made an idol hunt group without me on our OG tribe... I considered letting him will me the idol and then him getting voted out ajsjsksks.

Well, there's no way of getting this to work unless Jones works her magic. I'm simply trying to get people to realize that I'm social and understanding of how this game gets played. Hopefully I can get people to want to keep me and play with me come a tribe swap or a merge.

It’s been a weird round.  I fought my ass off in the challenge but to no avail.  This joint tribal has been a battle.  I think Maynor is flipping to vote out Jenna.  If I’m wrong it’s me with an idol in my pocket. But my allies Tim and Jonesy both feel confident in Maynor and you can’t win Survivor alone so I’m going to stick with my homies and not play my idol.  Gulp.  Wish me luck:

Curse you hosts! Throwing us into a blender to vote someone out! RTQ-read the question, or so my professor always said. What do I do not not read the whole thing and forget to put a Guyana sign or even say it In my videos. Which leaves me scrabbling to do it all again. Dog food and fucking hot sauce bullshit is not something you want to do twice in one night, let alone in one week. Lesson for the day? READ THR MOTHER FUCKING QUESTION FOLKS!

YALL I am so sorry about not making confessionals. It's just I always have a fear that I am wasting my time and that the confessionals won't even got posted...and like nothing interesting has happened on my tribe.  Here are some fun facts tho: after tonight me, Alyssa, José, and Chelsea are the only ones that have not gone to tribal. YEEHAW SKEET SKEET YALL.  I am living in paradise, I have connected w Devon and Jess pretty well.  Devon I know I can trust 100%, I am sure that Jess and Alyssa are pretty close but I still trust them too. I want to be reunited with JONESSSS I miss her.  CRYING IN THE CLUB RN.  We had a mini tribe call just to like chit chat and that was fun.  Jess also destroyed the comp and if José would not have been on our tribe I would have asked to sit out bc like I was still recovering from editing the music video. UMM what else. Oh we have that lit joint tribal that we do not have to go to #BLESS and Idk yall I am just waiting to go to tribal so I can play the game, it's hard coming up with stuff to do and have fun when u winnn.  I have just been collecting tea about the fans sooo

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THAT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO WORK OUT OH MY GOD BLESS MAYNOR HOLY FUCK I LOVE THAT MAN SO MUCH that's all for now xoxo, i'll do a more detailed video confessional later

Not even going to lie.. I'm shitting bricks that José is going to fuck up this challenge for us. If he does RIP me in this game. I think I'm the one on the outs out of the 5 of us. Devon is connected with people like Chelsea who won't even give me the time of day.. I'm fucked. SO FUCKED.

Lets start off with Jenna.  I am very sorry. Im sorry that i voted for you. Im a sorry that i made the move? No. I felt you were too close to Dani and Sarah and Aidan and Mitchell. And you had lots of power that tribal. I guess you can say you were sarah and i was kass in this vote. And chaos struck. No one knew my connection to my dad aka Jones and Tim. They are ❤️. I would protect them and i did. Am i ready for the fall out idk. Hopefully no one takes the temptation on our tribe cuz my ass will go right behind Jenna. If I cant do damage control.

Welcome to my: "I Think I may Just be PMSING" rant for this round. BUT I JUST NEED A FUCKING PERSON IN THIS GAME. Someone who I know has my back at least 75%. I'm not asking for a miracle here.. I know someone having your back 100% isn't realistic at all. However, I just need someone who I know going forward will pick me over their old friends or tribe-mates if when we swap or if I make it to merge. Where is this all coming from? I have no idea. I just have a fucking weird feeling. I felt good with my tribe but for some reason something just feels OFF to me. This is probably my paranoia kicking in or my hormones? Only time will fucking tell.... If you'd ask me currently who I considered my person I would say it's Devon by fucking default.  WHICH IS REALLY SAD CONSIDERING HOW WE WERE PRE-SWAP. We swapped together, he has ACTUALLY given me information. BUT..... I know homeboy is looking out for himself first and will sell me out when time comes. SO that's not good for me in the future... I know he has a tendency to tell people the same things too so.. that’s a mood. I would have said Alyssa is my person HOWEVER, I don't see a scenario where she chooses me over Chelsea or Sammy on this tribe right now. In the future? Possibly, I won't rule that out at all.  But for the remainder of however long we have on this tribe... I don't feel good at all. She gives me almost no information and that could be a result of me not giving her information but I’ve honestly told her everything I know. Mitchell possibly being on the bottom, what went into the Lucy/Bee vote. That’s all I got. I physically can not give her anything else. SHE KNOWS EVERYTHING I KNOW. Maybe she doesn’t know anything? I have no fucking idea. I want to work with her SO BAD. I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to work with SOMEONE MORE IN A GAME. BUT I fucking can’t shake the feeling of her stabbing me in the back if it came down to me or Devon. I'm trying not to let my paranoia show and I know I've let it slip a couple of times in conversations with Alssya/ Sammy. They ignored me for a good 20 minutes when I said it so it was obvious they were on a call or communicating someway. OR MAYBE IT’S MY PMS OR PARANOIA?!!!! I’m just sure I’ve STRESSED THIS FACT ENOUGH BUTTTTT: I AM FUCKING NERVOUS. I’m almost as nervous as a drug addict taking a fucking piss test right now.  If José pulls some shit in this challenge I’m going if we LOSE MY FUCKING COOL LIKE NO TOMORROW. The way I see the connections on this tribe right now is simple: Devon has connections with Sammy/ Chelsea.  Side note: Chelsea acts like I’m the plague in her pm’s.  She ignores me harder than I ignore all of my life responsibilities and I ignore them pretty fucking hard. I believe I’m closer to Alyssa than Devon is but will she have the votes if it came down to it? NO. Sammy is close to everyone. He’s my pick to win right now. He has everything a future winner has.

Color me SHOOK. Im very surprised that they are handling the Jenna very calm and understanding. I might not have been in as much danger as i thought. I told them the truth about why I did the vote and all the reasons. The paranoia. My anxiety that was spiraling out of control. I didnt tell them tho of my connection to Jonesy 🦑❤️ But i want to thank Jones for calming me down from my anxiety before the vote. And to Sarah who helped me after tribal cuz my anxiety kicked up again after i couldnt talk to jones and people were confused on what happened and were asking around. I am much better today tho. A little calmer than last night.

I am really bad at this, I so imma spill some tea, which I don't have much of. Me and Mitchell agreed to work together until merge then we would kill each other whenever it best suited us. Which was a good think to do because apparently I'm a scary comp beast :D If that is all I am remembered for at the end of this game I'll be happy <3 More to come but I am at work soooooo yeah, more to come ~finger guns~

Also I have NO idea why everyone trusts Mitchell so much!! He’s a snake and if he doesn’t go home this week, the rest of my tribe are idiots

Well...that was quick. Aidan taking the advantage is really interesting, and also very telling: 1. Do the fans have a clear majority? Sarah and Dani didn't trust Mitchell, and this would be the perfect time to knock him out. 2. Is Aidan ACTUALLY playing the game? He seems to have a grip on what will happen tonight, which is fearsome, considering he didn't do jackshit on the original fans tribe. 3. What is this twist for later tonight? I predict the advantage has to do with either picking the swapped tribes or sending someone to exile at the F15, making it 7 vs 7 with 1 at exile.

It looks like they may have thrown the challenge? I might be screwed? Like not in the good way. 😏  They said Mitchell’s name and i want to believe them but how are you going to be like i dont want to go to tribal and hope someone else takes it to taking the temptation. Its very clear of their intention. I just hope they are telling me the real target. Cuz if not im dead. And ill be gone. If its me, its been great. Its been fun. I wish i could have lasted longer. But oh well. Sarah i hope you make it far. Jonesy ❤️ Kill it and take the title.

oh my godddd, so sorry I forgot to do a confessional. I completely forget to do them when my tribe doesn't have to go to tribal. ;) I genuinely love my tribe so much and have actively talked to everyone ever since the switch. Now there's talk about swaps that may happen, but I don't want that to happen. :( The only good thing that could come out of a swap is that I would have an easier time choosing someone to vote out if need be, because by the looks of it, my current tribe is the most active and serious about making it to the top. I really don't want any switches to happen unless it's merge! Also, I don't think my tribe is ever going to talk in the temptation chat because we're all so on the same page. Ugh, I love them.

I think Sarah is going home because Mitchell Aidan and I made an alliance. She threw both Mitchell and my name so.

Dani isn't supposed to exist period anyway

She was already an improper clone so we can just make up what went different

Maybe he added cola to one of the clone biomes by mistake

Maybe that clone existing was such a silly concept that some other being gifted her life

Kinda

Kinda like pigmailian

A statue brought to life cause someone asked the gods nicely to

Maybe Dani is a half ghost that's kinda like amorpho

She is just always half ghost, she doesn't have a fully form, she just shape shifts

Hence why she also melts to goo, she's all ectoplasm and whatever mix her other half is, fey, human, sentient cola, clone tube juice, maybe clay or god magic

Anyway, she doesn't have a human base structure like Vlad or danny

how do you clone a fey? that's trick question; and fey love those!

@the-navistar-carol (<333) brought up a good point while I was talking about my changeling danny au with her -- Dani! How would she exist in this au? Danny's a changeling - a fae. How would Dani, a clone of him, be created? How do you make a fey? Not through any means that Vlad is doing; you can't make a fey through unnatural means, considering the Fair Folk are nature. And Vlad's not a fey himself -- he's a halfa, even if he could make a fey, it's not in his best interest too. He's a powerful ghost, but even the weakest fae can overpower the strongest ghost. He won't want a clone of Daniel to be more powerful than him.

(In a three tier hierarchy it goes Ancients -> Fae/Mythos -> Ghosts. They all live in the Infinite Realms, but on different Planes. The fae live above the Ghost Zone in the Fey Wild, while the Mythos live beside the Wilds or down in the ghost zone depending on where they are. Places like the Frozone, the Athens Acropolis, and other such large islands climb throughout all three Planes.)

(While Ghosts can travel into the Fey Wild, its generally advised against as the ectoplasm tends to manifest differently there due to close contact magic. It can make it rather disorientating for a ghost, and as human spirits, the Fae living there would jump them faster than they could blink. So unless you're willing to play mind games with 'steal thy name eat thy face' fae, most ghosts keep out of the way of the Wilds. Fey can travel down into the Ghost Zone, they just don't bother.)

That's of course, not taking into account if Vlad even knows Danny's a fae himself. Vlad doesn't ring me as someone who really cares much about ghost culture or the going ons of the GZ. He might be aware that fae exist, but the moment he realizes he can't use them for personal gain he just doesn't bother with them. The risk is greater than the reward, and he'd rather not get eaten. But lets assume he's aware by now that Danny is fey, and has to take that into account while cloning him.

So, how does Dani exist? Good question! Honestly; i'm not sure. She might not exist at all, or if she does, she's more halfa than fey. Vlad would need a lot of human dna and ectoplasm to balance out all that fae magic. He manages to steal DNA from Jack and Maddie to do it, and since Jack's fey ancestry is very dormant its much easier to use alongside Danny's DNA.

In turn, it results in a little girl whose more human-ghost hybrid than clone. With that little extra boost in fey magic making her not a fey, but still relatively powerful. Dani is less of a clone and more of a lab-grown little sister. It's a rather tedious, complex process that has Vlad tearing his hair out trying to figure out. But he does eventually figure it out.
