Caine: Pomni, keep an eye on Jax today. He’s going to say something to the wrong person and get punched.

Pomni: Sure, I’d love to see Jax get punched.

Caine: Try again.

Pomni, sighing: I will stop Jax from getting punched.

Nasiens: Ok, so, resuming, you never told Mertyl that he's adopted.

Diane & King: No....

Nasiens: And you never thought that, maybe, he would find out? Since he lives in a literally toxic environment to humans?

Diane & King: .....

Nasiens: ..... I don't ever know what to say to the two of you.

Match A2 concludes!

Apologies for the lack of commentary last time! Our commentator refused to speak on the incident... Something about shipping raccoons to Japan...? But we're back now!

To recap what happened: Diodora proved a very difficult opponent with his new magic! Everything Nasiens threw at him got thrown right back! Even his poisons! So Nasiens tried something untested; Blood Skull berries! That didn't work either and Nasiens went down!

The match is called as it seems Nasiens' heart stopped, Diodora is declared the winner!

But he can't claim Nasiens' magic while he's still alive! So he raises his sword to deliver a finishing blow post-match, only to be decked at lightning speed by a very angry Percival! Percy takes the damage himself, as per Diodora's magic, but hardly seems to care! He delivers a glare that seems to put the fear of god into Diodora before turning his attention to Nasiens.

"Tantris" rushes in to offer help, but even his goddess healing and Percival's magic combined doesn't seem to be enough to counter what Nasiens has done to himself.

As Nasiens' friends rush to him, Gawain assures that he isn't truly dead, she can detect a faint pulse. Even so, no one is sure what Nasiens had taken or why he won't wake, until Percy spots the bottle.

We're given a flashback to when Nasiens was in the Fairy Realm. He goes to test a Blood Skull berry, but Harlequin stops just before and warns him against it (suggesting that even Fairies have no resistance to these). At a later point he's talking with Diane about that encounter and she's able to tell Nasiens more about the berries. She reveals that she's tried them (and that they taste good!) and that there is a way to counter the effect.

In the present Nasiens' friends are trying desperately to wake him, to no avail. Till Gareth joins them. He's able to see and speak with Nasiens', currently disembodied, soul. He relays Nasiens' answer to Anne's question of his motive, he was desperate to make sure Diodora didn't have the opportunity to hurt Percival. Gareth himself questions if Nasiens knows and antidote to what he's taken, but Nasiens is much too shy to reveal it. Still Gareth guesses it anyway, by intuition, and informs Percy, though he chooses discretion and whispers it. Percy wastes no time

AND KISSES HIM!! PERCIENS SHIPPERS REJOICE!

(That's me!!)

The counter to the Blood Skull berries' magic is a kiss from the person you love. Nasiens snaps out of it immediately, and blushes to high heaven, while Donny and Anne make the incorrect assumption that the act was a rescue breath.

And on that lovely note we move on! Next time Gawain with face off with Balin in the first match of block B! We're getting down to the wire now, folks! Stay tuned!

This seems like a Caine and Ragatha interaction ngl

Ragatha: Puppetmaster, have you seen my copy of the greatest vinyl of all time?

Caine: The golden one?

Ragatha: Yeah.

Caine: Absolutely sure it fell in the hole.

Ragatha: What hole-? Oh my god!

(Ragatha looks at the hole)

Ragatha: What is that??!!

Caine: It's a hole.

Ragatha: Y-yeah I can see that- But what's it doing there???

Caine: Well, I awoke this morning.... (drinks coffee) Then there was a hole.

(Dramatic music)

Ragatha: What are you gonna do about it?

Caine: I put a rug over it.

(Dramatic music)

Caine: It fell in the hole.

Ragatha: Should we call the Helpful King or something?

Caine: Oh yeah, I called for Kingr, yeah.

Ragatha: Well, where is he?

Caine: He's in the hole.

(dramatic music)

Ragatha: (looks side to side) ...Where... is the Harlequin?

(Caine nonchalantly looks to the side)

Ragatha: Puppetmaster. Where is the Harlequin?

Caine: She's out on a mission.

Ragatha: Oh. (laughs) Where's the mission located-?

Caine: In the hole.

(dramatic music)

Ragatha: GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How deep even is this thing????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Ragatha throws Caine's mug in the hole, as Bubble looks it over.)

Caine: ... That was my favorite mug. (Bubble falls in the hole with a "weeee") Now it's in the hole.

(short dramatic music)

Ragatha: Puppetmaster, do you even know what this is? For all we know, it could be a interdimensional tunnel-- or- or a gateway to damnation! Or...

(Caine is suddenly nowhere to be found)

Ragatha: Puppetmaster? Puppetmaster?! CAINEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Caine: I'm back, and I got a snack. (munches on an apple)

Ragatha: ... Puppetmaster, will you please take this more seriously?!

(A marionette comes and Ragatha screams)

Ragatha: AAGH! AAAAGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Caine pokes at the marionette repeatedly until they fall back in.)

Ragatha: W-w-what was that???!!!!!!!!!

Caine: Hole Marionette. (tosses the apple into the hole)

Ragatha: WHERE DID IT HAIL FROM???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Caine looks at Ragatha with a questioning brow.)

Ragatha: Right-- the hole, yeah! How are you being so calm about this?!

Caine: I'm more worried about the Maddened Princess of the Theater.

Ragatha: What 'Maddened Princess of the Theater'?!

(Boss!Gangle appears and grabs Ragatha.)

Ragatha: AAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Caine: That one. (feels something on his coat pocket and pulls it out) Ah, here it is!

(more short dramatic music)

Caine: Oh, s***. (drops the golden vinyl)

(even more short dramatic music)

Possible Harlequin Au shenanigans? I see a lot of possibilities once the entire gang is all together. Any thoughts?

When you say "shenanigans", I think of "memes to recreate in the Harlequin AU"

So have the "Who broke it" script but it's Harlequin AU (rewritten a little to better fit their personalities in canon)

Caine: [to the entire gang, who are gathered around a coffee maker] So... who broke it? [Nobody says a word] I'm not mad. I just want to know.

Ragatha: ... I did. I broke- Caine: No, no you didn't. Jax? Jax: Don't look at me. Look at Pomni. Pomni: What?? I didn't fucking break shit! Jax: Huh. That's weird. How'd you even know it was broken? Pomni: Because it's sitting right in front of us and it's BROKEN, idiot. Jax: [leans in on her] Suspicious. [Pomni growls at him]

Bubble: If it matters - probably not - but Gangle was the last one to use it! Gangle: That's not true-! I-I don't even drink anything....! Bubble: Oh, really? Then what were you doing by the counter earlier? Z: I hang around it to wait for someone to talk to eventually--! e-everyone knows that, Mr. Bubble!

Ragatha: Ok, ok! Let’s not fight! I broke it, let me fix it, Caine!

Caine: No! Who broke it??! Kingr: [looks at Z, then at Caine] Caine... Z's been awfully quiet. Z: REALLY?? Kingr: Yeah! Really. Z: Oh, my God! [everyone starts arguing at one another except Caine]

Caine: [to his daily journals] 'I broke it. It burned my tongue, so I punched it. I predict ten minutes from now they'll be at each other's throats with war paint on their faces and a marionette head on a stick.' [turns to look at the main lounge as they continue to argue, then looks back] 'Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.'

one might assume that the most common kink among harlequins is breeding - clowns and cream pies are a famous duo, after all. however, this would be incorrect. the most common kink among harlequins is CBT

they love (to) slap stick

Hey Kiki, not sure if you can answer this but for this gif post

https://www.tumblr.com/harlequin-wheels/770214772405846016?source=share

Does it look like a bad egg glitch from Platinum? Especially with it being level 100 and since eggs can't fight they just flee?

so the egg isn’t actually fleeing here, on top of there being no dialogue to indicate a flee, this is also just known behavior of encountering an egg in platinum - it plays a bunch of animations and sounds, including shiny sparkles in this case too. the sinnoh part starts at 8:26 in this video if you’d like to see an alternate recording of this behavior. https://youtu.be/-WvI0ex7FcY?si=4qBFYXxApHT22C1d

i’m not sure why this is what happens unfortunately, but i do know a lot of methods could have been used by the creator of the gif to cause this to happen, it’s not even necessarily a glitch, could very well be external tampering with a cheating device or changing the ROM (i actually feel like this is more likely but gen 4 ACE is a thing now and there’s also many glitches i am unfamiliar with so who knows)

all that being said, even if it is a glitch, it wouldn’t be a “bad egg glitch.” because of internet folklore and playground rumors i think people have a massive misunderstanding of what bad eggs actually are. bad eggs are just what happen when pokemon data is incorrect/corrupted. since gen 3 every pokemon has a “checksum” which is basically the game running some math over the pokemon’s data to make sure that it’s all as it should be, and if that fails, the pokemon will be marked as a bad egg as an anti-cheat measure. this can famously happen as the result of glitches, or tampering with pokemon data improperly. bad eggs aren’t even really a glitch themselves, it’s intended behavior, but they can be caused as a side effect of performing glitches.

bad eggs are more common to see in older games, and are known as such because they read as bad egg on the summary screen, but actually you can still cause bad eggs as recently as scarlet and violet, they’ve just appeared as normal “Egg” instead of bad eggs since XY, and they have slightly different implementation depending on the game. all that is to say you CAN see bad eggs in platinum, in any game on the DS actually, and there are a whole variety of ways to obtain and see one because it essentially just requires even slightly corrupted pokemon data, but encountering a wild egg does not indicate a “bad egg” and is a completely different type of thing

i hope this satisfies your curiosity well enough! if you’re curious about how something like this could be performed on actual hardware i would encourage you to research gen 4 glitches or romhacking tools, neither of which being my personal expertise

edit: hold on here’s another video of someone encountering an egg with the same animations/behavior in 2009 with an action replay code!

Pierrot: It kinda smells like wrongdog in here!

Colombina:…

Harlequin:…

Pierrot: *choking back tears* Ask.

OC Incorrect Quote Tag

Thank you for tagging me @jackiezenauthor! I will tag @xansmenagerie and @burntblackfeathers in turn <3

Rules: Use this link and generate some incorrect quotes for your OCs.

This is very difficult for me, because while I write a lot of original characters, they are so linked to their specific stories I have trouble thinking about them outside of their context at all. But here it goes:

Lysander: holds a gun out to Harper Harper: I-I don't believe in guns. Lysander: Well, trust me, they're very real. Now take it.

Well...that's actually pretty accurate! Except Harper would be angrier about it. (Harper and Lysander are this short tempered nurse and snarky vampire.)

Ceres: shatters a window and climbs through it Ceres: turns around and helps Isolt through it Ceres: Breaking and entering is wrong Isolt. Isolt: Okay.

Perfect. 10/10. No notes. (For my accidental harlequin romance which is stuck at 26k words but I will hopefully one day finish.)

Maxwell: liza, what do you have? Liza: A KNIFE! Maxwell: Okay, have fu- Ren: NO!

Nah, no one gets to tell Liza what not to do. Not her werewolf brother and definitely not his cute clueless neighbour.
