#is Cecil not counting it bc he doesn't remember

[unfortunatelyevent]

is this an error or is this supposed to mean something bc if it is I'm losing it with ideas

[marzipanilla]

knew you'd have a good time lol

Yeah no like, this is where the budget is! The people are there again ! the world wasn't empty ! yay!

They could have avoided this issue if they hadn't tried to make the alt Mark episode a punch fest? yes yes, i get it, they were fucking up the planet, but if you made it character focused ??? if it was debbie, and william, and the others, hiding and running and fearing for their lives only to emerge into a ruined world??? then I wouldn't have felt so lack luster about the skipped over combat. the emptiness. they basically didnt have mark do anything that ep anyway, they coulda just really committed and not shown him at all... >.> only his others. he dipped out on his family, show that from their POV you cowards lol

Yeah Conquest is Just Like That. lol tho someone who remembers more of the comic pointed out his loneliness speech was actually new to the show. so.

the VA's performance grew on me, I think I was just dealing w my mehness about the one line we got at the end of last ep, and this ep initially about him being so weirdly... human ? him making the heart out of blood (which I did think was fun but), just the way he spoke. like he was a deranged fighter and all that, but when you write an alien who calls ppl kitten and makes emojis its hard to read them as well.. alien. but that has always been a bit of a failing of this narrative/universe for me, there really aren't any other actual cultures in it aside from America.

I loved the fight parallels too! like, is it just viltrumite custom to get your head smashed through bodies at some point in your life ??? lol viltrumite military hazing step 1

I made a side tangent post about it, but yeah, Mark really... doesn't actually kill anyone. intentionally or otherwise. and it weakens the impact of his character moments so much. like sir, I genuinely don't care that you're making this choice bc the world will take it from you regardless.

I was wondering if they were going to leave the Cecil kept Conquest thing until next season, but nope, IMMEDIATELY were like that bitch is still alive. still to this day one of the dumbest moves Cecil ever made in the comic. will be dumb in the show too, no doubt. it just doesnt even fucking make sense. you arent going to learn anything from the guy who licks blood off his hands and talks about it being the best thing in the world, Cecil. Nolan face tanked a DEATH LASER FROM A SATELLITE what kind of bombs you got in that facility ??? what you think you got set up there ???

Debbie's guilt speech to Mark about his powers could have worked as like.. a follow up to S1 ??? but like. this woman has been at that boy's hospital bed at the end of EVERY season now. she should hopefully feel something else? like it took you two years to come to that conclusion??? why ??? and expressing guilt THIS season ?? after Nolan dropped his kid on your son last season??? w Mark choosing to bring his dumbfuck brother out w him?? i just ??? no bby girl this is NOT your fault ???

it was nice to get that tiny moment of, Eve's parents threw Mark out, but Debbie was like ?? nah ?? stay??? wtf? why would I kick you out??

I kind of appreciated her telling Oliver to just go. at least like, that she was trying to give him advice about to how to handle what was going to happen? I didnt think he'd listen to it and it is def a situation he shouldn't have been in, but I prefer her saying that to her telling him to stay home again and him inevitably just running out behind her back (again)

As an avid Oliver hater I got so much catharsis watching that kid get nearly ripped in half lol but yeah his absolutely LACK of trauma response to nearly dying is a bit ?? not to mention Mark full on telling this kid YEAH YOU WERE RIGHT is the absolute worst thing he could have done. pretty sure Oliver has a higher (intentional) body count than you buddy. maybe don't encourage him?

Rae just off crying by herself like ??? girl arent you supposedly friends w these ppl?? even in the shitty way the GoG were trying to pretend you all were ?? didnt Rex ask these fucks to give you his last words??? why tf aren't they there for her???? and no amanda. I dont care that you just told Rudy you loved him. I barely comprehended that the two of you were supposedly dating this whole time. stop showing me all these uninteresting romances show.

Paul taking away from Debbie time is his great sin for me lol like I coulda been fine w her having a relationship! if it wasnt so fucking BLAND. and if she expressed anything positive about it??? she literally just talks about nolan or has to make paul feel better about himself when shes w him. and yeah. he expressed interest first. and she genuinely did not seem super into it last season. to the point I honestly thought they were going to write out it happening at all. but no. they add MORE than his comic counterpart and I have to watch debbie spend all her time telling him how he is cool actually !!! idk. everytime I think about someone being a dick about mary sue stuff in writing I just remember this is the kinda crap that gets published in main stream dudebro circles. where literal god atom eve begs mark to date her and debbie props up randos. like. hm. I think you just dont like women fantasizing about the shit you think you're entitled to, actually...

I have def got invested in some silly 'ship shit, but as I've gotten older I definitely ask new questions about the dynamics I watch. like if a character says I love you but there is no ability to articulate what it is about the person that they love. then the writing is failing/skating by on something. which is honestly general life advice I try to give actual people if they tell me they like someone. like. do you just think they're hot and or like the attention or can you express something about them you actually enjoy? cause if not, fuck em and move on or dont fuck em and move on faster please.

If they needed to save their budget for the last ep like !! just a few tweaks woulda made the rest of the season shine so well ?? I know they want to try and be an action show but if you only have enough money for one real fight a season, its okay to pace yourself around that !! accept it !! stop trying to do things you dont have the money for and just let your chars tell an interesting story !!

The stuff with demon guy Darkblood it totally new. he was vastly different in the show than the comic (where there is no investigation storyline into Nolan and Darkblood is a total joke side character) so it will be all new stuff this coming season w him! if it wasn't a weird throwaway moment. I hope he's talking about Oliver rather than Mark, tbh. that shit would be hilarious.

Mark agreeing to go hang out on a beach w Debbie instead of refusing and the beach is Beach City (am now officially thinking too much about this crossover lol)

The way I got caught up on our back and forth I almost forgot this, lol! AND OH MY GOODNESS, IMAGINE? I forget exactly what which point Debbie makes the beach offer, but I’d love when exactly in SU/SUF-timeline they’d go? There’s something so fucking funny to me about them going during the SUF-timeline and always narrowly missing the strange, Steven-shaped mental breakdowns in the back. I know those don’t occur in a single day, but it’s tickling me. How could they miss anything? I don’t know I just think it’s funny.

Though, post-SUF is interesting if Gems can see the similar “world on your shoulders”, Mark has going on! Steven can shunt the narrative in the Gems’ minds, which I think is neat, if I’m not misusing the phrase since the guy’s on the road far away. Or maybe it’s just before Steven goes and they stumble into each other. I’d kinda love Pearl and Debbie interacting, honestly, if they could talk about loving someone who hurt you, hide things from you, even when you thought you knew them so deeply, and they left you to raise a child. Pearl being in a well adjusted space, and Debbie still grieving.

Honestly, the gems could help train Mark, they’re got experience and similar-ish powers in strength, sturdiness, and they can jump/run fast enough for flying to be vaguely similar enough to lecture about, I think. Or Lapis Lazulis, haha! Peridot with her trash can lid! Garnet, I’d love to see if she told Mark anything about his future in vague, well meaning advice. Or even giving relationship advice considering Amber. Or, importantly, how to convince an entire reign to end their colonizing ways, lol. Is Mark perhaps willing to start a war, take advantage of being related to any leaders, or fake his own death to varying results?

In general, there’s something so fucking funny to me about Nolan, in the sake of comparison, being Pink Diamond coded. Like OH, did an important or well respected of the colonizing empire come to earth and learn the beauty of its people and nature, including faking/lying/omitting things about his identity and background to being in, only to feel conflicted when his responsibility still remained, and he tried to free himself from them? Yikes! We’ve been through that before! Like gimme Pink Diamond and Nolan outfit swap rn. This is tickling me so much oh my goodness.

All off the 100 questions you've not gotteb for who'm you want too ^^

I decided to do something a little different. I wanted to do some character development the kids, Eli, Awan, Jolene, Ezekial, Ephraim. So to answer the questions the kids have been aged up 15 years from where they are now. So there may be spoilers. So if you want to avoid spoilers I'm putting the answers beneath the read more. Hope you enjoy. I almost want to do a BC for one of the kids.

1. How do they present themselves to others?

It depends upon who it is. To his fans Eli presents himself as someone in a rock band. A little dissheveled. Messy hair. Eye makeup. Tight ripped jeans. Basically he goes for the bad boy image.

At home around friends and family he goes for more relaxed and comfy. No makeup. No hair gel. He often doesn't use any hair products when he's not performing which often leads to his hair flopping in his eyes.

6. What is their purpose in the story?

Eli is the first born of Jonah's children. From the start Eli has always been at odds with his father, Ethan. He knows the story of how Jonah ranaway in order to keep him and has always had a special relationship with him. However the same cannot be said for Ethan. After Jonah's kidnapping, Eli blamed Ethan driving a wedge between for several years. If it weren't for Cecil helping him that wedge may have become immovable.

11. Do they have a romantic interest?

Someone who had been a major part of his life until he was ripped away from him without warning. For a time the pain of that separation kept him from opening up and allowing anyone to get close to him.

16. How did they become a character?

He was the lucky one to be born first.

21. What are their hobbies?

When they're not playing or writing music Eli likes to go for long walks to clear his head. He also likes to read fantasy novels.

26. Do they have any survival skills?

Does magic count? Other than that he's really not into the whole living off the land stuff.

31. How do they overcome obstacles?

By hitting them head on. He isn't one to let obstacles deter him from what he wants. If he had he would never have joined a band. There's a lot of obstacles if you want to make it big.

36. How is their family life?

Right now Eli is living the single life traving from town to town on tour. It's hectic and he's looking forward to some down time to spend with his family. He still has a rocky relationship with Ethan.

41. How was their childhood?

It was a bit rocky. He spent a lot of it worrying about Jonah and fearing that he'd be taken again. Out of all the kids that experience effected him the most.

46. When is their birthday?

Eli was born in December, a couple days before Christmas. I had to do math since Jonah got pregnant with him on Prom night his senior year. Side fact Jonah's birthday is in October. So he would have turned 18 a couple months before Eli was born.

51. Do they like science?

Not really. He passed but he didn't apply himself to remembering anything. He was too busy writing lyrics to songs in his journal.

56. Would they die for anyone/anything?

Yes he'd die for his family.

61. Are they comfortable being in a crowed room?

Yes. He prefers not to be but he doesn't always have a choice. Rooms seem to fill up with screaming fans all want to talk and touch him.

66. What is their pet peeve(s)?

He dislikes it when people don't tell him they're leaving.

71. Who do they dislike?

It's a long story but if he had to say who he doesn't like he have to say Awan.

76. What are their goals?

Well he's pretty much accomplished his goals. He has a successful band. He's been on tour more months than he cares to admit. He's ready to go home and relax. Can relaxing be a goal?

81. Do they have any tattoos? If so, are they significant?

Not yet. When he does get a tattoo it will have a deep meaning to it and it'll be the same one that someone else has whill be just as important to him.

86. How do they cope with anger?

When he get's angry his voice drops and his eyes narrow. If the situation continues he'll excuse himself and go to his room and blast some music.

91. Do other characters respect your OC, if so, is it out of fear? Or do they respect your OC because they like them?

For the most part he is respected. The band members respect his ideas and even their manager has learned to respect him. The crazy fans however is a whole other story.

96. Do they have a stash of weapons?

No.

2. Do they like animals?

Awan loves animals. Growing up he never had the opportunity to have a pet. His dad was afraid if he allowed him to have a pet it would become his familiar and any form of magic was forbidden. He had a special bond with his best friends dog and once suggested to Eli that he should make Peaches his familiar. It wasn't until his mom found him and brought him back to Selvadorada that he was allowed to have a pet and yes it did become his familiar.

7. Do they know how to fight?

He knows karate. It was one of the few things his dad allowed him to do and he continued it after going to live with his mom because he liked it.

12. How do they cope with struggles?

Awan has a tendancy of pretending that nothing's wrong preferring to put on a brave face to the outside world while he silently falls apart on the inside.

17. Do they get along with others?

Yes he does although he doesn't seek them out.

22. What are their ticks?

He doesn't really have any ticks. He sometimes pulls on his fingers when he's nervous.

27. Are they more book smart or street smart?

Awan is really more street smart than book. Not that he isn't smart it's just not his focus.

32. When faced with a difficult decision do they get stronger or break?

Awan doesn't break easily. The closest he came to breaking was when his mother came to get him and he wasn't allowed to say goodbye or explain where he was going to his best friend.

37. Are they likable?

For the most he is. The only person who doesn't like him is Eli but there are reasons and maybe one day they'll be able to straighten things out.

42. Are they close with anyone who is going to screw them over?

There's a possibility the answer to this question is yes but to say more would be too spoilery.

47. Are they quick to judge?

No he is not. He's probably one of the least judgemental people you'll ever meet.

52. Are they more emotional or logical?

He's probably more logical than emotional. He kind of had to be otherwise he wouldn't have survived.

57. What do they do when they are happy?

He whistles a song he once heard when he was a kid. It was a song Eli wrote for him so that he play it on the violin when he couldn't come over and it'd be like they were together. It never failed to make him smile then and it still works now.

62. How do they relax?

He used to hate the violin. Now he likes to go out into the jungle and play all the songs he remembered Eli playing when they were kids. He's also learned to play all the songs that Eli's band plays now.

67. Do they have a disability?

Not unless scars are considered a disability. He has a lot of scars on his arms, back and legs. It's why you never see him wearing shorts, short sleeves or going without a shirt on.

72. What is their motto?

When you can’t find the sunshine, be the sunshine.

77. How do they go about achieving their goals?

Awan's goal is to go back to Brindleton Bay and explain to Eli why he left the way he did. He knows it won't be easy but he won't give up until he does after that than it's up to Eli. But he has to try.

82. Are they good at mental math?

He is. He's good at most math.

87. Have they ever been in a situation where they were helpless?

Yes. When he was a kid and his dad came and took him away. And again when his mother found him and refused to let him say goodbye. Both times made him feel helpless.

92. If they were given minutes to live, what would they do? Who would they want to see and say?

He'd figure out a way to find Eli to tell him how sorry he was for leaving him the way he did.

97. Where do they live? Who do they live with?

He lives in Salvadorada with his mother.

3. How do they dress?

Jolene has an ultra feminine style. She prefers dresses with ruffles and flowers. Although with her work as an archealogist she prefers shorts and crop tops.

8. What is their back story?

Jolene was the only one of her siblings who have a strong bond with their dad, Ethan. It was something that, for a time, distanced her from her older brother Eli. She blindly sides with Ethan not understanding fully what was happening. She just wanted her family the way it was and she was her dad's lil princess.

13. Do they have anyone they can lean on?

Jolene has a large support group. Her dad's are wonderful but for things she's not quite ready to share with them she always goes to her big brother Eli.

18. What flaws do they have?

She doesn't like to be alone. She always wants to be with others, doing stuff. She has a tendancy to annoy others when she refuses to accept no they don't want to go out with her.

23. Do they like children?

She does but she doesn't know if she wants any of her own.

28. How do they get out of a difficult situation?

Batting her pretty eyes until someone volunteers to help her. If that doesn't work then there's always her Dad. Ethan cannot say no to her.

33. Do they have any special powers?

Yes she does. Like everyone else in her family she has a longer lifespans than everyone else. So to her that's not special however she does have the ability to control disease. She can detect when someone is sick and slow down the disease but not cure it. She can also excelerate it if she was so inclined.

38. Are they the hero, or anti-hero?

Probably more hero but it's not something she striving for.

43.How do they adapt to different situations? Do they adapt at all?

Jolene is pretty adaptable. She moves around a lot in her career and in her quest to discover the source of the magical abilities.

48. Do they have anything they are trying to hide from others?

She hides the fact that she has special abilities. It was exciting at first now it's just kind of scary knowing she could adversely affect someone and cause them to die sooner then they would have otherwise if she wasn't careful.

53. How do they deal with their emotions?

By sharing them.

58. How would they come across to other characters? Examples- messy, lazy, childish, caring ect

Dedicated, Driven, Intelligent (big of a know it all) and a little bit annoying.

63. Have they ever harmed anyone and regretted it? Verbally or physically?

Yes. She was still in school and she detected a brain tumor. She thought she'd shrink it down but instead she enlarged it quite rapidly. She'll never forget the agony she caused by one slip of her attention.

68. How do they react to getting flowers?

With loud squeals and giggles and if you're delivering the flowers yourself be prepared for some over enthusiastic hugs too.

73. Do they have any markings on their body?

Not yet. She's thinking about getting a tattoo

78. Do they have a fight or flight response?

She has a fight response. She charges in without thinking especially in verbally defending someone.

83. Do they get along with others?

Most of the time but she does have a tendancy to rub people the wrong way.

88. Are they organized or messy?

She's very organized when she's working but her house is a mess.

93. How do they deal with stress?

Talking to someone about it. She'll call her dad's or her brothers and if they're not available she'll talk to someone she works with.

98. How do they calm themselves down?

Talking to anyone who will listen.

4. How many languages do they know?

Ezekial is very good at learning languages. He has an ear for it. So far he knows English, Japanese, German, Spanish, French, Italian and currently learning Chinese. From a young age he even learned Braile.

9. Why is their name, their name?

Well all the boys were named after the first letter of their father, Ethan. Jonah wanted a less common E name for a boy. However as he gets older he adopts the nickname Zeke.

14. How do they react to someone dying?

Not well. He's very sensitive and depending upon how close they were depends on how long it throws him into depression. He may spend days or weeks moping in his room, crying or writing poems.

19. How do they influence the story?

He's often the target of his twins jokes which sometimes have a bigger impact than Ephy knows.

24. How do they react to being around wild animals?

Hmm other than a few rabbits and squirrels he hasn't run into many wild animals. If he did he'd probably freeze and hope they thought he was dead or something.

29. Do they use their body, mind, personality or force to get what they want?

Probably more their mind. He's fairly quiet and likes to be alone to write in his journal.

34. How do they change throughout the story?

He grows up in story. He'll have a close relationship with Cecil but not as close as his twin. He sometimes feels left out.

39. Do they make questionable choices?

Nope. He's the most cautious of his siblings. He'll research all his options before making a decision making pro/con lists to make sure he's considered all angles.

44. How do they speak? Examples - Are they soft spoken, hot heated, vulgar

Zeke has a very modulated voice that's easy to listen to.

49. Do they act different around different people?

Not really. He's not very socially inclined so he doesn't seek out people.

54. How do they cope with sadness?

He writes poetry like his Grandpa Jackson. True fact: He never read any of his poetry until after he became an adult because Jonah said he needed to be older to appreciate it. Another fact: most of Jackson's poetry was dedicated to the love of his life Riley. They were best sellers but not quite appropriate for under 18.

59. Do they have a phrase they use over and over?

Do it with silence was often a phrase he'd use with his twin. Ephy can't do anything in silence and Zeke prefers silence to noise.

64. Do they like to dance?

It might come as a surprise but he does enjoy dancing, quite a lot actually. He's a much sought after dance partner at school dances.

69. Would they ever wear a flower crown?

I'm sure he could be convinced to wear one if you asked nice enough or were pretty enough 😉

74. Have they ever been abused?

No

79. Is there someone in their life that they care about more than themselves?

At the moment it's his twin brother.

84 Are they lazy?

No. He's really neat and tidy which makes sharing a room with his twin difficult.

89. Can they remember a lot of information at once?

Yes. He has a photographic memory so it's almost impossible for him to forget things he's seen or read.

94. Do they have a more submissive or dominate personality type?

He has a more dominate personality which comes a shock to most people since he's so quiet.

99. Are they co-dependent?

No he is not.

5. How big is their family?

Ephraim has a large family filled with lots of cousins and siblings. He would love to go into detail but won't as he doens't want to give away any spoilers.

10. Do they have any nick names?

Ephy has been his nickname since he was a toddler. He often prefers that over Ephraim. Ephy has special meaning to him. It's the name Cecil gave him.

15. Can you name 5 personality traits they have?

Active - Ephy just can't seem to sit still. He has to be doing something.

Mischevious - he likes to play practical jokes on others. His twin gets the brunt of his jokes.

Playful - he likes to have fun.

Optimistic - it's hard to keep him down. He prefers to see the bright side of things which often gets him into trouble trusting the wrong people.

Disorganized - he never knows where anything is.

20. What do they look like?

See the picture above although that might change by the time he actually grows up in game.

25. If they were given the task to prank someone, who would it be, what would they do, and would the prank work?

His twin of course. He just so easy to prank. His favorite prank was when he made him a dating profile on a 50+ site. It was precious to see Ezekial face turn bright red when he kept getting all these calls and emails from these older women.

30. What music do they enjoy?

He likes all kinds of music. Jonah and Eli's music are in his top favs.

35. Do they have any friends? If so, are they close knit?

Ephy is quite popular in school. Everyone wants to be in the same class as him because it'll be sure to be lively and not quite as boring. Even thought he's popular he feels his best friend is Cecil and his brother.

40. How do they become who they are?

From having parents who love him and older siblings who dote on him. He's just a tad spoiled.

45. Are they opposed to violence?

Very much so. He doesn't even like loud voices. He's more the run and hide than the stand and fight kind person.

50.Do they enjoy the arts?

He likes dancing. He tried playing music but couldn't sit still long enought to get good at it. Paining is boring. Writing is takes too long. Dancing and gymnastics is more active and fun.

55. What is something they care about?

His family. He cares about them deeply even if it's buried beneath jokes.

60. In a crowed room are they in the corners, sides, or in the middle?

Oh he's right out there in the middle of everything. If he's at the party you're going to know it. He's the type to walk into the room and announce the party can now begin.

65. How do they get around their environment? Examples - horses, bike, vehicle

Mostly by bike. He doesn't have his driver's liscense yet.

70. Do they like themselves?

What's not to like? A lot of people assume that he's lacking in self-esteem because of the way he likes to get people to laugh. That has nothing to do with it. It's just the way he is. His great uncle Rory was a famous comedian so making people laugh is in his genetics.

75. What is their biggest fear?

Losing someone they love

80. How would they fair in zombie apocalypse?

Not well. He'd make to much noise and no one would want him in their group because he'd attrack the zombies to them.

85. Are they self motivated?

When he wants to be otherwise no. 90. What is their occupation?

He hasn't decided yet. He thinks he might be fun to be a commedian or maybe an actor. Someone suggested he make a good model so there's that too.

95. Do they have a pet?

They have the family pet, Peaches who is now Jonah's familiar.

100. Are they a day, or night person?

He's more of a day person. At night he's kind of a sluggish.

Ask you own
