[byanyan]

ok I'm gonna finish the last verse update tomorrow... didn't have dinner until fuckin 10pm and now I'm a lil drunk playin some ow so. yeah lmao

[the-meme-monarch]

my delatrune 3&4 live-blogging And Also expanding on thoughts Here bc I tried to keep it vague there

so spoilers ofc

img 1 i was reacting to ciblesGD’s stream of chapter 3, img 2 i was watching someone from the server streaming chapter 3(plasticscentedoppossums but I’m not sure she’d want me to tag her), and img 3 i was again watching ciblesGD’s stream, of chapter 4 this time :]

susie’s talk about how even if ralsei’s not real their friendship still Is and she’ll never forget him and That’s Real. guy who just came back from friendship test hmmm im getting friendship test vibes from this

also what ralsei was talking about with finally wanting to discover who he is outside of the prophecy. getting to figure out who he is as a person outside of his servitude to the lightners and the legend. this is literally what capsei is built on btw

also sorry but I still like my tenna design more. i just think what i came up with is more clever. my big butch rabbit centaur lady could kick that giant twink’s ass. I’m sure I’ll learn to like canon tenna’s design, i already like his personality ! also idk if there’s any dialogue disproving this but i think it’d be fun if spamton and tenna were brothers :’] with how they already look so physically similar and honestly act similar, and then also their hatred of each other. also i want more darkners who are family. still literally only chapter 1 has given us canon Related characters, being spades king and lancer as father and son and clover as sisters

also sorry but I’m a little disappointed that chairiel wasn’t a Character. it was just toriel’s throne. you literally Named this chair and then it didn’t get to be a Person. it wasn’t even alive like he couch was. chairiel couldve been like. working for tenna as a Guard for toriel as she slept or something. and then toriel and undyne were There but barely did anything. I don’t think I liked chapter 3 that much. ☝️I still like it A Lot but it is at the bottom of the list for favorite chapters I think. besides those nitpicks it also just kinda felt like it was dragging on with the game show, which I think was Purposeful, but still

⬆️the guys. the streamer did not talk to them so I don’t know what they say and my heart hurts over it but they’re here. look at the,m it’s the sweet capn cakes

DONT THINK I DIDNT FUCKINB SEE THAT? DONT THINK I DIDNT FUCKING SEE THAT KRIS IN THE CLOSET? DONT THINK I DDINT SEE HOW YOU COVERED IT WITH THE HEART PILLOWS? if there ends up being an innocent explanation for this my guess is it’s just a dummy of kris that they made and used to scare noelle and dess Confiscated it. but hmmm awfully suspicious they hid it under the heart pillows so we couldn’t get a proper look at it.

also I’m absolutely adoring how kris is getting more of their own Voice and actions through, putting the stickers on susie, pouring the fruit juice in her mouth and her theirs, them lawnmower holding her by the legs to eat the snacks off the tray. and their dialogue choices seem to be loosening up more, to be more specific in what they will be saying, like the way you (can) tell ralsei “I want you to be yourself dude”, to father alvin “awesome sermon my man” again to raslei “park your butt mister” how they get you to relinquish control to play the piano, how they finally hug(?) ralsei of their own volition (it might not have been a hug actually, I didn’t get a screenshot and I haven’t gone back to look, so maybe they just crouched down to put a hand on his shoulder, idr)

and the playing as the SOUL segment was so fun. noelle and susie getting to actually spend time together, kris in the kitchen making chocolate milk i think. kris Beating the SOUL back to keep it from the guitar.

Carol.

ALSO knight chara theory might as well be dead Oh Wells I didn’t really expect to be right anyway i just thought it’d be neat. sorry knight papyrus and knight alvin fans except the ones of you who were mean to me about knight chara. upon seeing the roaring knight I did think it was dess, it still very well could be but I began thinking it was carol, with kris being on the phone talking smth about ‘the next fountain’ and then saying susie got the guitar and the voice saying “I’ll be right there” and then carol showing up even though noelle said she’d still be at work for a while. the knight and the voice on the phone who is probably definitely carol could be different people but idk that was just my leap in logic

ALSO GERSON. FUCK. i was So hoping to know how a dust covered burial object would work in the dark world and im so happy it was answered, i figured it might be but I didn’t think it’d be In The Church, I thought it’d be like a ‘too many fountains were opened and now the Outside is becoming a dark world (and therefore the objects in the graveyard)’ situation. also no I don’t believe ralsei is an object with asriel’s dust. when he’s downed it calls him “a pile of fluff”, no mention of dust. however I think this debunks red horn headband and green crayon theory. my funny joke theory: ralsei is a clump of asriel’s fur from a hairbrush

⬆️this was fucked

⬆️this was also fucked

anyway this is literally how these chapters left me (positive)

i did literally have to take two headache medicines at different points while watching these chapters

[wolfjackle-creates]

Hi!! I haven't been on Tumblr for a while but I used to read a fic you made out of a prompt (?) Someone else made about Danny who freaked out when he realized the Waynes are the Bats and accidentally shot Bruce(?) And if I'm not mistaken you made a part 2 of it (idr remember if it was a wip or finished) but do you have a masterlist so I can re-read it :D? So sorry if I sound weird (´⌒｀;)

It is absolutely never weird to ask an author about their works!!!! Thanks so much for sending this in.

It's been ages since I've worked on this one, but it's definitely on my short list to get back to. Especially since I'm pretty close to having it finished?

Here's chapter 1 on AO3. And the Subscription Post.

Chapter 2 is limited to Tumblr right now, only two parts currently. Part 1 can be found here.

Currently it's called Want to Hold on and Feel I Belong. However, when I do start updating on AO3 again, I plan to change the name. (I'm just waiting so people who have subscribed are more likely to remember what they're getting an email about.) Mostly I refer to it as my Bad Reveal AU. Though I get that's not a great working name as that's usually reserved for the Fenton parents reacting badly rather than Danny reacting badly.

Also, as a thanks for reminding me that it's been a while since I've posted anything about this fic (or, well, in general), have the next bit!

Here's a random 1.5k.

Having a potential lead so close meant the hours until J’onn’s arrival were spent in prep mode.

Every uniform had to be checked for the slightest damage and upgrades done where possible. Supplies and go-bags were organized so they could leave the moment they had a lead. Fuel levels in every vehicle were checked and topped off where necessary.

And finally, the zeta tube activated and J’onn stepped out. “Good day to all of you. I heard my assistance was needed?”

Bruce went to greet him. “J’onn. Danny’s room is upstairs. Did Clark explain the situation?”

“Yes. He said that your newest ward has density shifting powers and left things behind in his walls and floor before running away a few days ago.”

Bruce nodded sharply. “Follow me. Clark will show you where the items are hidden so you can retrieve them.”

Dick happily zipped up what felt like the hundredth bag he’d had to pack and joined them. “Hey, J’onn. Welcome. How have you been?”

“Greetings, Dick. It has been a long time since our last meeting. I have been well. I want to wish you luck in finding your brother swiftly and easily.”

Dick nodded his thanks. “Same. We’re really hoping he left behind something to help because we haven’t had much luck so far.” Dick pulled out his phone and notified the family of J’onn’s arrival and requested they meet in Danny’s room.

On the way, Bruce and Dick filled J’onn in on the situation. At the implication of government experimentation, he face went hard and he vowed he would help them however he could.

Clark, Jason, and Alfred were already there when the group arrived and the rest weren’t far behind. With everyone present, the room felt crowded.

“Where should I start?” J’onn asked Clark.

“Behind the NASA poster. I think that’s where he keeps the weapons. One of them is an object that looks like it might be the same as, or at least similar to, the weapon that shot Bruce.”

Under Clark’s direction, J’onn removed not just two more energy guns, but also a glowing-green net, a boomerang, a tube of lipstick, what looked like a weird, high-tech thermos, and a wooden baseball bat with a sticker that said “Fenton” on it.

Dick couldn’t help but whistle at the pile. “Damn, he was packing all this?”

“Apparently,” said Damian. But Dick could tell his youngest brother was impressed and mentally reassessing his beliefs of Danny. “Perhaps he is not as helpless as I previously believed.”

“Why’s he got lipstick?” asked Steph as she picked up the tube.

“Don’t!” ordered Bruce even as she opened it and released a laser beam that left a small scorch mark on the ceiling.

She stared in shock before laughing. “Oh, damn! When he comes back, I’m so asking if he could get me one of these. That’s so cool!”

“Can I see that?” asked Barbara.

“Wait until we’re in the cave,” said Bruce with a sigh. Both women grinned at him.

Dick reached down and grabbed the net. Despite the color, it seemed normal enough, maybe a little smoother than most rope he’d handled. He pulled out a pocket knife and was able to slice through one of the ropes easily enough. Jason came over to look at it with him.

“Anything weird about it?” he asked as he reached out to touch it. “Huh, that’s odd.”

“What’s odd about it? Seems pretty normal to me.”

“It just… It feels weird. It almost hurts to touch.” When Dick looked at him sharply, Jason quickly added, “It doesn’t hurt, but it feels like it should. If that makes sense.”

“Feels normal to me.” Dick showed him the break he’d made.

Jason shrugged. “Dunno, then. I just get a weird feeling from it.��

Damian picked up the energy gun, Tim the thermos, and Duke the boomerang when Alfred cleared his throat.

“Before we get distracted, might I remind you that there is more to find? We can bring everything down to the cave to examine them with no more damage to Master Danny’s room.”

Everyone sheepishly put down the things they were holding. Dick bit back a laugh when he noticed Clark push the baseball bat away from himself with his foot.

“So, J’onn,” Clark said. “I think the next area of interest is behind this poster.” He gestured at a poster of the horsehead nebula. Dick had helped Danny find it and hang it up and the kid had talked about nebulae for over an hour as they did. The memory caused his eyes to burn.

From this stash, J’onn pulled some notebooks and two external hard drives, which Barbara took. Dick and Bruce both grabbed a notebook. Dick opened his to the first page.

Journaling is such a stupid idea. I don’t have any time for it but Jazz says I need to get my feelings out. Pointless. So what if I can’t sleep and Skulker attacked me again today during English getting me another detention. Its not my fault! Shit, haven’t done that essay for Lancer. If I miss any more assignments he’s gonna fail me for real.

Everyone knew Danny had been failing before he’d been brought to them, but he’d refused to discuss why. Once he was in school in Gotham, he’d gotten straight A’s. Even if he did ask for the occasional help in English from Jason.

But this raised so many questions. Who was Skulker and why were they attacking Dick’s little brother during English class. He flipped through the pages. Interspersed between journal entries were drawings of schematics. Dick thought he recognized some of the designs as the weapons they’d uncovered.

His eyes caught on an entry that started with a string of curses.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. My parents saw Dani today. In ghost form. They actually managed to hit her. Only her second visit and I couldn’t keep her safe. Some big brother dad cousin whatever I am. I did get her to the Far Frozen. Frostbite fixed her up. Taught me what to do if it happens again, too. And gave me the medicines and supplies to do it. I’m so glad I have friends in the Zone now. It makes it so much easier. I can’t get the image of Dani’s blood staining my hands out of my mind. Going to Tuck’s tonight. I can’t be around my parents right now.

Stomach dropping, he flipped a few more pages until he found one with a photo. It was a grinning Danny with white hair and wearing a jumpsuit standing on a curved balcony. Behind him, spire buildings rose into the air, many rounded in a way not often found on Earth.

Clockwork took me to Mars today! Holy shit it is so cool. Just, everything. We went back to when they were thriving and I had to stop an invasion. But that’s not important. Everyone here can go intangible despite being alive. Some of their buildings don’t even have doors because they’d be pointless! And the plants and animals are all so different, too. Clockwork helped me find some books on Martian history and biology and evolution. He’s also gonna show me where the Martians exist in the Zone so I can learn their language. Maybe one day I can go to Krypton or Tamaran as well?

Dick stared back at the picture. It did have that distinctive feel of wrong that extraterrestrial landscapes always had. He swallowed. “Uh, J’onn?”

“Yes, Dick?”

“Um, Danny. This is his journal. He said he went to Mars. Before… Just, before. He’s got a picture. Is this real?” He handed the photo to J’onn who hesitated a moment before taking it.

J’onn froze as he stared at the simple image. “I… Yes. This is my home. How…?”

Dick shrugged and wished he had an answer for the last of the Martians. “Someone called Clockwork brought him there apparently. To stop some sort of invasion? He didn’t discuss that much. He was too interested in the planet and people to talk about what he did. He was hoping to visit Krypton and Tamaran, too. Also said something about Martians existing somewhere he called the Zone. He wanted to meet them to learn the language.”

The look on J’onn’s face at the mention of other Martians existing somewhere was heartbreaking. Maybe Dick shouldn’t have said anything? When Danny came home, would he maybe want to talk to J’onn about Mars?

With clear reluctance, J’onn handed the picture back. “This is your brother in the photo?”

“Yeah. I mean, Danny usually has black hair and blue eyes, but that’s him. Do you recognize him?”

J’onn nodded. “Of course. He is the Omen. His coming foretells death and destruction which he will then try to avert. I know what invasion he is speaking of, it is, was, taught in our history books. He saved all of Mars that day. We thought him a god.”

Dick’s mouth fell open. His little brother? A god?

Fishing Rod (Ending 9) (Finn x Reader)

woooo sorry for such a long wait between this and the previous ending, i admittedly got a bit sucked in with things and i just... wasnt really feeling updating for a bit. lots of internal stuff going on that i dont wanna unpack here- anyway. no poll for this one, the next ending is already determined BECAUSE ill be out of state some time soonish but i dont. have a window yet. irritating stuff. but whatever. polls will return soon, prewriting endings in preparation since its a long drive and ill no doubt be beat even after i come back notes: gn toon reader, admin really didnt want to write fish puns so he found a work around sorry gang, dork finn my beloved, he sometimes doesnt know when to stop the jokes though, rushed admittedly but i at least try to have fun here, theres actually a explicit confession here woo yeah-- i THINK looeys also had a confession but idr, pre game, potential ooc word count: 2.2k cws: none

Everyone’s eyes glue onto you as you reach your hand into the opening of the sack and pull out…

Something long and thin- not at all made of wood but rather plastic. It nearly caught on the other items in the sack as you tried to pull it out… the shape awkward against all the clutter as a faint and muffled pulling sound managed to slip out through the mess and fabric.

It got stuck. 

You shift your hands around the orange rubber grip that finally peeked through the sack’s opening. 

“Looks like you caught something,” Dandy snickered under his breath as he tugged the sack back towards him- your attempts to pry whatever the item was nearly ripping it from his hold… you were almost tempted to backtrack and just pick something else… but you felt that might have been humiliating to whoever the trinket belonged to.

You were in too deep now anyway. 

Another tug and the thing finally freed itself- some of the other trinkets coming out along with it. A toy fishing rod, perfect for a toon sized body. A blue bandana caught on its not very sharp hook- your eye darted to Boxten… no wonder he looked off when you had glanced at him a moment ago. He wasn’t wearing his bandana. 

The fabric falls from the hook and you awkwardly pass it back to Dandy to shove back into the bag… you nearly felt bad.. Choosing to avoid making eye contact with the music box. 

The fishing rod is shifted around in your hands… you didn’t need to ask around to know who it belonged to- and you could already hear the sea of jokes you were going to be tormented with for the next seven minutes… you weren’t sure you were emotionally ready to bear it, even if you overall enjoyed the owner. Something about being in a dark confined room for nearly ten minutes being treated to a personal comedy act felt almost torturous- perhaps you were already worked up from your brief struggle of trying to free the rod… and the stares. 

Something in your jaw tightened as Finn’s clinking steps quickly approached- you didn’t even realize Dandy had made a fish related joke when you were fighting for your life with the trinket. 

“Nice one!” Finn snickered as he beamed at the flower. All things considered Finn was careful and fleeting as he took the rod away from you- handling it as if it were some sacred relic that could stuff any storm despite being made of mere plastic. Something you would find in a gift shop somewhere. 

“I’ll have to think of something reel quick before you can fish it,” 

He laughed at his own jokes- and you were trying to debate if there was really only one pun in the sentence. Your tongue tensed and shifted in the back of your throat as you held it- Glisten’s stifled groan from somewhere in the crowd wasn’t at all lost on you. 

Barely a minute passed between standing there in front of everyone and making your way to the dark storage closet connecting the main gift shop to the Christmas one- but you could already feel a headache brewing in your temples from the sheer amount of jokes he packed into the one sided conversation you were barely keeping up with. It’s like he needed it to breath.

For as oblivious as he could be when he was being mildly annoying, he at least noticed your silence. 

“What’s wrong? Catfish got your tongue?” He chuckled again at his own joke- hardly did he ever manage to deliver a line with a straight face. The tired sigh slipping through your teeth sounded almost muted against the constant glass clink of his body against itself- each step was never silent and it was a wonder he’d manage to worm himself into things without getting noticed in an instant. 

It took everything to make your voice come out softer- you weren’t… angry with him but irritation could be an ugly beast. 

“Could you… tone it down on the jokes, at least while we’re doing the game..?” 

His smile faltered for a moment and you felt awful about it. 

“I’m just not in the mood to hear it all back to back today- headache- it’s not.. You-” 

He quickly lifted his hands and tried to wave you into silence. It worked, you were already trailing off and trying to lessen the impact too late. 

“It’s alright! I get it- I guess I can get a bit carried away with it, huh?” Finn let his hands fall as you both stepped into the dark storage closet… stuffy- already an uncomfortable clamminess settled over your skin. Maybe… it was a good thing you went ahead and voiced your concerns about the fishbowl’s humor before the thick and wet air pushed you over the edge.

A small pile of dust formed as you dragged your feet across the wooden floor- leaving a track in the mess. Did the staff just… not clean up in here? Away from the eyes of Gardenview’s countless visitors or not it was… gross… and you silently ached for Tisha when it was her turn to get into the closet. You mourned for whoever she would get stuck inside with… doubtful that either of them could have much fun during their round… 

The idea of whether or not the others would have fun was pushed to the back of your mind as you tried to make yourself comfortable against the wall. Finn quickly followed suit, settling himself to your left with a sharp clink of his glass- the motion sending some of the water splashing over his rim and to the dust.. Mixing in and making a gross slush. You could argue it made it worse- but you didn’t make a comment on it in the face of his obliviousness, no doubt having long grown used to his habit to spill over on the floor. 

As the silence settled around you- save for the muffled sound of the Christmas music of the lobby outside creeping in- it grew… mildly uncomfortable.

Finn’s hands flexed and shifted at his sides and drummed against the wall- the tips of his fingers hooking against loose pieces of wallpaper and mindlessly tugging at them to expose the material underneath. Stone, you had to guess with the coldness that pushed itself into your spine. 

“You put your entire rod in the bag…?” You finally broke the silence.

It was… rather funny… looking back on it- the trinket was definitely unconventional given the scenario, and maybe… you could learn to laugh back at the memory of having to fight it out of the sack. 

“Didn’t have like… a toy fish- you know,” You pointed to your head and Finn gasped. 

“Well… I’d never use Barnaby! Why… I’m almost offended you’re even bringing up the idea!”

It was over dramatic, and the shift away from your position sent even more water splashing out onto the floor- but to be honest… it added to the humor as the grin broke across his glass face. 

Neither of you could hold back the quiet string of giggles- and it was only made worse as Finn snorted on his own breath. 

“Well don’t you have another fish toy? I know you do- I’ve seen Gigi leaving your room with a bunch of them-” 

His giggles faltered for a moment.

“She didn’t…

“She did!” 

He leaned his head back in partial annoyance… overplayed, and an even louder splash of water.

Was it tap water? Bottled? You don’t think you’ve ever seen his head empty now that you took a moment to think about it. 

“So like… do you need to keep water in your head…? What happens if it goes empty?” 

Finn paused. He looked down at the soaked floorboards below and offered a soft “oh…” 

Swiping his foot over the puddle did nothing to move it- only forcing it to mix with the blanket of dust before. The toon’s mouth tugged in a tight line against the faint squelch. 

“Nothing bad happens- it just feels weird… looks weird too, I mean have you ever seen an empty fishbowl?” 

His bowl looked about half full now- the turning of his head at least wasn’t enough to make the water fling over the edge of his head. 

He did have a point. What was the purpose of a waterless fishbowl, even if there was no marine life inside? 

“...fair point…” You mumbled before shifting around. 

“You don’t think Boxten got too offended that I put his bandana back into the bag?” 

Finn pursed his lips- or at least tried. 

You never actually noticed that his face was flat on his face. Even when he furrowed his brow in thought his glass remained in place. 

“I don’t think so- he doesn’t strike me as the type to take things like that too hard… though… I wouldn't mind him being in here- you think he has sea shanties in his head?” 

You exhaled through your nose.

…

Did toons have noses? How did you do that- did you even actually-

“I guess you’re right… but still, I kind of feel bad about it now-” 

You shifted against the wall. 

The silence settled back between the two of you- Finn didn’t offer any additional response to your worries. Maybe he just didn’t know what to say to make you feel better about the indirect rejection. It’s not like you… meant to be cruel. Would having three toons at once be allowed? 

“I’m… actually glad it's just us two in here actually-” Finn suddenly confessed. You shoot him a look from the corner of your eye- no particular emotion… but whatever it looked like to Finn sent him into a quick splutter to try to explain.

“Not that I don’t like him of course, Boxten’s nice and all but-”

Finn trailed off. 

“I like you- I think you’re a reel catch, and-” His eyes squinted against the grin stretched across his face. You didn’t call him out for the pun, instead choosing to at least hear him out. 

“I really like you-” 

His glass knuckles clinked against each other as he shifted his vest around- shuffling the puffy collar of it up against the lower curves of his bowl. 

“I know… I agreed to not using puns but I can’t help it- I think you’re the only fish in the sea for me,” 

His grin quirked up lopsided. 

And for a brief confession, it felt like he was being true. 

If you were being honest you expect Finn to drag things out- not that you wanted him to… but more so because he seemed like the type to keep things going even after the other person had given him his answer. 

Like beating a dead seahorse. 

But his smile was contagious, even the dull throb in the side of your head could be ignored long enough to give him a curl of your lips. 

His palms clacked together. 

“So I was sinking- how about you and I…” He trailed off. 

“You’re pushing it,” You teased.

You shuffled closer to Finn.

And he stayed put. 

Even with inches between the two of both of you, you could feel the surface of his bowl beginning to warm against your cheek. 

“Had a reeling I was,” He tugged at the bottom of his vest- that did nothing to pull the collar from his head… he only sunk his head into himself sheepishly as he grinned to himself like an idiot. 

“Why don’t we get some lunch tomorrow and talk more about this? How… does one sound? I don’t think Gardenview’s opening tomorrow since it’s.. No… wait.. I think it’s still open tomorrow.. Christmas Eve…” You mumbled under your breath. 

“We can do the day after,” 

A lunch date on Christms.

Why not? It’d be one of the few times the place would be closed- it’d give you both the time to really talk about things without needing to entertain visitors. It was probably the best you could do for a while- waiting for Easter Sunday didn’t sound all that appealing. 

You nod.

Barely a motion but it seemed to send Finn straight to cloud nine. 

Nothing else was given the chance to break through the air before Dandy’s knock on the other side of the door filled the air. 

Almost instantly Finn pushed himself off of the wall with enough force to send a splatter of water to the wall where he just stood- before he staggered to the door; excitement radiating off of him in near vibrations. 

“Well in that case I’m really going to brainstorm to impress you-”

You wanted to tell him he didn’t need to do that… you had the sneaking suspicion you were going to be buried in fish facts and puns. He was lucky his passion was endearing.

The door swung open- the sheer speed it snapped open under Finn’s hand and his splashing stunning the flower into silence before he can speak. 

“Christmas..! Noon! I’ll be sure to remember!” 

…You had said one, didn’t you? 

Dandy’s eyes darted between you two before Finn shifted on his feet. Despite his eagerness to leave the room he had waited for you in the holiday gift shop- and even if the walk back to the party was spent in barely suppressed silence- a contrast to the walk to the gift shop earlier- the air remained light. Unspoken joy hung between you both- mostly radiating off of Finn as he visibly marked down ideas of how Christmas day should go. 

He was lucky he was so endearing.

[yuukei-yikes]

idr if ive sent an ask like this before but. im sending it again if so.

forever thinking about how shintaro lost all three of his only friends on the same day. the anniversary of his dad dying, too.

so yeah. while he is extremely cringefail. i would shut myself in for four years too if that happened to me. like understandable have a nice day.

shintaro goes thru the horrors and we should talk about that more. like almost every route, on or near the anniversary of his dad and three of his only friends dying, he has to like. we all know it varies on who dies but in general he has to witness at least some of his new friends die.

paired with retaining. top ten characters that go thru it. shintaro wouldnt be number one bc hibiya and kano but hed be like. number three? i guess?

deciding on Who suffers more is a little pointless because it feels kind of bad to be like so what's worse? pretending to be your sister's corpse or a timeloop of 10 years? Like both are bad

however ur so right. shintaro is my little meow meow cringe fail idiot prince. something i love about kagepro and i think it's genuinely really well done is the representation of mental health. shintaro loses all 3 of his friends in one day, of course he's going to react like this. he's even under the impression one of them killed herself directly because of him. this guy's a messssss. iirc, in the novels at one point he even says why was i the only one left? so he definitely also had a bit of survivor's guilt there as well. tbh i think everyone in the dan had some survivor's guilt in regards to the person they died with. why was i chosen and not them? cause in kido's pov it also sounds like that when talking abt rin.

anywaysss. so shintaro is a funny guy. depressed king and with reasons to be sad and traumatized, he's got a strong sense of justice and always acts on what he thinks is right. it's funny that he's also so painfully awkward and anxious, but i think the whole beginning arc of kagepro really tells u who he is. shintaro is shown not being able to even TALK to customer service employees, cause he mumbles everything and stumbles over his words, yet like an hour later he's YELLING AT AN ARMED ROBBER THATS GRABBING HIM BY THE NECK. BOY WHAT😭 shintaro's principles always coming on top of anything else he might be feeling is awesome. it shows again in novel 7 when he's kinda awesome and smooth facing saeru and right after falls to his knees bc mary and kido said it wasn't That cool.

and this is all without mentioning retaining eyes. bro post str shintaro. what a delight. i love him. i wrote a stupid shintaro&takane fanfic once where i sorta go into it of how weird it is for him to live past That august, with everything he knows now. if u care here's a link *kicks rock*

shintaro is already pretty self centered as is. but i think very early on post str, now that retaining has been activated, all the routes bleed together and makes him very confused. and this time forever because retaining has been activated and he's. going to be alive from now on. no more resets. so he HAS to deal with it.

a genius or not, a human brain isn't Made to hold onto different memories of different lifetimes like this, so i think post str shintaro can't help being insensitive to others (in that fanfic i wrote, shintaro realizes him and takane in this final route never talked about her as ene, so while to him it was normal bc of retaining, she was still needing some closure on it)

and now ill mention my kagefuture bullshit SORRY!!! SORRY!!! idk if u even read my fancomic but basically shintaro is acting a little stupid in there. like acting without thinking stupid. i find it very fun to imagine an older shintaro doing that because he's spent so much time Stressing about what's happening and what's going to happen because it's finally different from other routes and that's scary, that to get to the point where he's a little more chill about it, it's inadvertently accomplished by Not Thinking. i like to imagine him living day to day without thinking of what will happen later because if he does that he'll spiral. so he sort of ends up in these weird situations like man. how did i not see this one coming

[liedownquisition]

So I let people submit their suggestions for dog breeds, and tbh I think I might already be sold on my final choice but I'm still going to poll the options I liked best. (I have a lot of dog opinions.)

Now, bear in mind, in narrowing my options here I'm going off a variety of factors including aesthetics/vibes, the breed roles/"jobs", and general breed temperament. (This is the part where I out myself as half just making this post to ramble about dog breeds and making inane correlations to human -Jason's, obviously- behavioral patterns.)

Breed pics & exclusions/reasons under the cut:

This animal has such a majestic journey from cute scruffy baby to a wretched looking beast and I love it. @glitter-stained mentioned it reminding you of the Baskerville hound and yes I think these animals would make for a perfect recreation of it, and the literary reference is appealing because, well, Jason.

Irish Wolfhounds are a sighthound which means they were bred to rely on speed and sight over scenting. As their name implies that hunting includes large predator animals including, purportedly, the last of the wolves in Ireland. Or, rather, their predecessor did. The original wolfhounds that these ones were inspired after and bred to recreate are technically a lost breed. Which, I mean, has some potentially interesting symbolism re: Jason's death & resurrection.

This breed is often seen as reserved and deeply intelligent, forms strong bonds with its owners and the other animals it is raised with and is not always the most adaptable to change. Independent, it's not a defender of spaces, but will defend their family and is fairly friendly with strangers. The breed comes with a historic motto "gentle when stroked, fierce when provoked" which is very fun. So, overall they're more of a "guardian" breed than a "guard" breed if you keep them around for those purposes, but that initial idea behind them is to hunt large game. The original breed may or may not have at some point been given to some roman or greek, idr, and impressed people by being able to hold their own against lions.

I'm enamored with this image. While I understand the inclination to categorize Jason as a guard dog, Jason as a working breed has just a little certain something to it for me. @daisybell-on-a-carousel you said that these two choices were largely aesthetic based and favoring tri/multicolored coats but further examination does I think reveal some rather inspired takes here.

Right off the bat Australian Shepherds remind me of how I prefer to portray (post-resurrection) Jason with sectoral heterochromia, but like via their fur. They're also funny because they're a misnomer since they were developed in California, but the name supposedly comes from the collies from Australia and New Zealand that made up one half of their progenitor breeds. Though bred for herding it is modernly one of the most popular companion dogs in the US. This means they're generally very energetic and intelligent, and often are prone to herding people and other animals even when that's not formally their job. They can, of course, get destructive if their needs for exercise isn't met like all herding breeds.

This might be a little funny but it does somewhat feel very Pre-Crisis Jason to me? That boy needs a job to do so bad, needs to feel useful that he puts himself in that role even when he's not (entirely) needed/it's not a role they want to put him in.

Special mention to the fact that I actually live near a breeder for Cane Corsos, and therefore have met and learned a great deal about them by chatting with them when they come to my job and sometimes have one of them along for the ride. They are beautiful animals. Now, I have to admit that I tend to be less in favor of the "Walking Fridge" depictions of Jason, bcs a lot of times it comes at the expense of his flippiness, and the fact that he's been remarked to fight like Dick in Hush/passed as Nightwing in BiB (despite the rest of that comic's flaws) is very dear to me, but I'm tbh genuinely impressed by this suggestion. Especially from someone who is "not an expert," @hannibal-is-my-comfort-show

Cane Corso are modernly a companion/guard breed, and a kind of mastiff. They are also extremely intelligent (the aforementioned breeder often jokes that his dogs are smarter than he is) and historically have had a role in hunting large game as well as protecting and herding cattle. Now, for anyone unfamiliar with dog breeding lore, herding dogs HAVE to be very intelligent. And part of this particular breed's standard for registration requires them to be indifferent to gunfire, tranquil to inoffensive strangers, but aggressive in defending their owners.

So I think we're hitting some very interesting points here. While I'm not discounting it for main continuity, I think perhaps would be a good match for, say, AK!Jason?

This is Daisybell's other suggestion, and the Australian Cattle Dog has much of the same appeal as the Shepherd on an aesthetic level and in its being another working breed. This one, however, was actually bred in Australia. Notably, it was bred to herd via biting and has been known to nip running children and forms very strong, protective bonds with its owners. Cattle dogs, like a majority of herding breeds, require consistent training and structure or else they can get a bit destructive. However, these ones do also have some decently high standards that it can't be too repetitive and needs to be thoroughly engaging for the pooch.

Things that appeal I think is that they have a shorter coat than the Shepherds, and Post-Crisis Jason (esp as Robin) as a bitey herder does sound rather appropriate, I think. Very akin to the previous herder it's something of Jason putting himself into a job because he sees something that he thinks need to be done, AND his methods are something that can be seen as scarier for many people despite the dog's overall friendly face. which dovetails nicely with the way his new origin made him less popular.

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

I... sure hope the wide variety of images I've posted here explain why I didn't include "Mutt" in this poll. A suggestion like, idk, American Bull Terrier & Black Lab mix (which would classify as a mutt, rather than a hybrid) it would be something more substantial for me to work with. The whole point of crowdsourcing this question is to avoid having to work out the details like that myself. (I mean, partly, it was more I was at work and my code-switch-y brain suddenly could not recall like 90% of my dog breed knowledge.) Shout out to the like, 2-3 people who did specify "(breed) mix" in their suggestions.

That said, there is a strong non-zero chance (as in, I really wasn't ever planning on having Jason as, like, a breed standard/pedigreed animal) that I reference something like "not being full-blooded," but fundamentally what I'm looking for in my asking is/was a base breed. Dogs are such wonderfully varied creatures that have their jobs literally bred into them and their visually and and literally so incredibly varied in size and coloration... you see the dilemma right? A mutt can be anything, regardless of the way they're traditionally portrayed in, say, Lady and the Tramp or, like, Balto (who yeah is half wolf but he's still a mutt), there's realistically too much variance to the concept.

Ahhh, pibbies, pibbies, pibbies... A rather beloved breed for me, I grew up with two and was (and am), in fact, a very staunch advocate for the breed... within some reason there are definitely some people who go to far with it like when they fake the Dog's breed in order to sneak it into places where regulations forbid them. Seriously, way to make the work of getting them accepted harder. So, anyways, when I tell you that I know their history rather extensively, and thematically I see the vision, I mean it.

"Pit Bull" as many know the term, is actually an umbrella term that covers about four-five different breeds (sometimes including some bulldogs) and their respective crossbreeds, and nearly every mixed mutt that has a more muscular build and square face is often labeled under the category of "pit bull type." This is a much narrower field, but similar to the previous problem.

And yet it's almost perfect that way, right? "Pit Bull" doesn't have pedigreed breed standards in the way most breeds on this list would, but I'm going to be honest with you, my entire rejection here is aesthetic. This applies to bulldogs as well as the pitties that are more bulldog-like in figure, I am, once again, not exactly big on the not-exactly-canon walking fridge who's got all this strength and fights like Batman. That said, however, pitties are definitely the perfect breed for, I think, GK!Jason who does kinda display more of that aesthetic.

"Why are these three, completely different dogs in the same entry?"

I could give you a deep, introspective analysis about Rottweilers, German Shepherds, and Dobermans, however my issue with these options are all the same, and unfortunately... sigh. I'm not immune to propaganda. I'm sorry animals, but I cannot see a black coat with brown or tan points and not immediately think "That dog's a fucking cop."

So, y'know. That's off the table for me. Would be a great choice for Lobdell's version of Jason though, the cop-ass-kissing bullshit motherfucker that he is! ... Special shout out though to "he kinda built like a doberman," the wide chest and slim waist? Yeah, I see it. Especially Gotham War!Jason, I think that's a worthwhile comparison.

Other mentions:

Pomeranian - Very fun. I'm reminded of this classic post. Alternatively, please play Ghost Trick:

Jason, don't lie, you're not a to- *shot*

Yorkshire Terrier/any other "toy" companion breed - While there is something to be said about itty bitty baby Jason being brought on board exclusively because Bruce was lonely and needed something or someone to fill the space after Dick left, No. I have nothing against companion breeds, but they feel a bit less... survivable on a metaphoric level? Considering Jason's history, the vibes just don't hit for me.

Chihuahua - I'm not going to lie to you, I don't' even consider this a serious suggestion. There's no contender. He has nothing of the breed characteristics. Once again, a small companion breed, so, no. At best the nervous little beasties serve as a watch animal (as in, makes a lot of noise and alerts the owners about intruders), and while I'm not going to let a conquistador have any validity, supposedly they were bred and sold as food by the Aztecs--which I only mention because it reminds me of that "feeding cats to coyotes" post and people correlating it to "feeding Robins to Joker." A more interesting fact however is that they are one of two breeds that still seem to retain the unique ancient genome sequence of pre-colonial Native American dog breeds. Regardless...

If I were to do a smaller breed I would likely choose something like... I dunno, a Boykin or American Water Spaniel? Maybe a Small Munsterlander? Hmmm, yeah, the overall versatility of the S. Munsterlander would probably be good. All those breeds are hunting dogs but Spaniels are mostly used for flushing, but the S. Munsterlander's are pretty good for training into just about any role people have for a small hunting dog. A Boykin would probably be higher on my choice list of Spaniels as well, given their tendency to take their time before pushing a rather aggressive flush which is a very Jason-like behavior. They also have some pretty strong fetch instincts too.

[uwuinhell]

I had more isat au ideas so I'm gonna write pretty much all of them down here (and then it will probably promptly get buried)

Haunted House: one of the party members is Missing during the loops (maybe they all "disappear" further and further into the loops...?) and the party is Semi aware? Like. They know Something's Up, something's missing, but they can't recall what (who) it is. Missing person is either just. Poof. Or they're a ghost (hence the "haunted" part) and they're only in The House (or something along those lines perhaps? Just. Ghosts. in The House.)

Fire boy and water girl au: Siffrin (fire) and Isabeau(prob?) (water) are uh idk going through the house and looping alone together. Good chance it'll be Isa (isafrin my beloved<3) but there is potential for it to be one of the others...(Likely might gonna scrap this idea so technically up for grabs?)

(already working on) Raining Cats and Dogs (prob temp title): everything is pretty much the same but they're all furries. Sif is a cat, Isa, Mira, and Bonnie are dogs, and Odile is likely gonna be a wolfdog.

Blissfully Confused: Siffrin doesn't remember that they're looping they just have unexplained Knowledge about the house and their party. (Miight scrap but unlikely atm imo)

Two Siffrins (I think I have a different name but idr atm): two hats/secret boss ends with Loop reforming as another Siffrin and joining the party. (Might scrap might keep. Idk, I like the idea, visually at least, but ahh idk confusing logics?)

[mikodrawnnarratives]

Thought about my theory while reading the trilogy for the first time. I had gotten right that Maggie was Evie very early on but I had also theorized that she'd have a much bigger role in the story. I was consistently getting hype to see Maggie investigate Nova more, like I REALLY wanted to see Maggie be ONTO Nova's identity, and the bracelet was just the beginning.

This went along with my theory that Maggie was found by Captain Chromium and her different name was a result of being put under some kind of witness protection. A niece of Ace Anarchy that survived him just wouldn't be safe if she was in the public eye as Evie Artino. But Hugh and Simon would know, probably not Adrian, and Maggie wouldn't be clueless to her real identity. Theory went that she was trying to find her sister and she'd help Nova escape prison! Maybe..

Nowadays I like some aspects of the theory since it would make much more sense for THAT to have happened, but Maggie's character doesn't align with it very well. It would change her a lot if she secretly had connections to Hugh and Simon, knew her real identity, and all. It would make Hugh and Simon also look a little bit like jackasses cuz REALLY??? THE DUMPING GROUND??? FOR THE ARTINOS DAUGHTER??? WHERE SHE GAINED A SURVIVOR MENTALITY?? If they put her there they'd take her back quickly if they were to be written like they Cared

A more updated au-ified version of this that I thought of was: What if the Tucker Family took her in? Either adopted or fostered, doesn't matter too much for au purposes. Idr how young Adrian was when he met Ruby, but maybe Maggie was at the children's home for a little, they realize it's overcrowded and underfunded, take her out and fund the place, and then they meet the Tuckers.

They'd HAVE to get money for it of course, since they are crammed at their home already in canon, but the family that swears on no secrets sounds pretty fitting for Maggie. Secret girl who wants to know everything about her family.

She gets an older sister and two barely older brothers, she's the baby!! They'd remind her of it constantly and she'd hate it!! She'd be little contrarian. She doesn't get as hyped as her siblings do for the Renegades Council, bc contrarian but her own list of reasons for being upset with them. From failing to protect her family (she knows WHY still hurts), then didn't consider adopting her (doesn't fully understand their reasoning), and Dumping her at an orphanage that SUCKED but they at least took her out of not toooo long afterwards (maybe she'd be there for four or five years? She wouldn't remember a ton but enough to dislike it)

The Tucker's would know at least a little about her backstory, and the gravity of it staying a secret in the family. The twins would know less than the rest, I could see Maggie not wanting them to know as much

Since Margaret Tucker would have a family that'd struggle with money, she'd probably still steal a bunch to help out. She'd have spent some time at the children's home where she'd learn that, but she really puts it to use to help her family. She'd steal, pawn it off, come back and hide the money in various places around their home so it isn't a sudden increase in cash. Just "oh sweet! Must have lost this"

She's not very good at the "no secrets" rule.

One secret they'd def find out about is her becoming a Renegade, but Ruby might defend her. She'll be with clean up teams and could really exercise her asset perception to help the city! She wouldn't be in danger

Maggie Tucker may be a little less of a problem than canon Maggie? Since she'd probably have a little more stable life and having an actual family would do a lot for her methinks. But she'd still steal Nova's bracelet, and No Secrets Maggie who's been waiting for this moment immediately investigates Nova. And Supernova would go different, as well as many interactions between them

(post reveal here would feature sister jealousy lol "oooo your jealous of Rubbyyy!!" Nova: "I'm not jealous!!" "LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE" Maggie loves them equally)

Sorry I haven't been able to put out more TTS's. A lot has been going on these past few weeks I didn't have time to write, but I am back with another tickle tea story; maybe short maybe long, idk but enjoy 🫶🏾

Blue me, orange BF

So about a few days ago, my boyfriend and I were chilling in his basement watching TV (minecraft I think idr 🤷🏾‍♀️) and in classic cheeky boyfriend fashion, he sneaks he hand around me and starts tickling me 😅💖

It's gotten to the point where this man tickles me almost every fucking day and I love it 🥰😍💖🫶🏾 after that, he tried to lay on top of me to keep tickling me, but I retaliated with my own tickles. At first he wasn't laughing and I said "come on hun, please laugh. Ik you're not that ticklish, but you're still kinda ticklish"

I was getting a bit frustrated when he wouldn't laugh, but after some time, he started giggling and and trying to stop my hands from tickling him

"Okay okaahahay! Plehehease!"

HIS LAUGHS WERE SO CUTE AHHH 😍😆😍💖🫶🏾😆🥰🫶🏾

Some time passes and it is Sunday evening. My boyfriend and I were cuddling on the couch in his basement and it was heaven omggg 🥰🫶🏾💖 (if u have a partner, have cuddle time it is amazing)

While cuddling I tried to tickle his armpits, but he got the upper hand and tickled me in turn (not that I minded ofc)

Come Tuesday afternoon, my boyfriend was taking a well needed break after doing some work. While sitting between his legs, he pulled me in close and started tickling me (at first i felt very numb to the feeling, but smth happened the night prior that made me really sick so yeah) after a but it did atart to tickle

"What ahahahare you doihihiging?"

"Im giving my girl the beat medicine"

OFC HED USE THAT PHRASE 😆🥰🫶🏾💖 HES SUCH A TEASE

After he finished tickling me, I flipped around and laid on his chest/stomach, I lifted up his shirt and started kissing his belly. Feeling cheeky, I kissed his bellybutton and placed my tongue in it; that got a reaction outta him

"Whats wrong?"

"It tihihihickles!"

"Oh reeeeaaallllyyyy?" Ofc I continued to kiss and tickle his bellybutton. After like a minute or 2, he put his meditation skills to use and blocked out the feeling (cheater 😒)

Now it's (last) Wednesday morning, and my boyfriend and I are just cuddling (even tho we had to be up and out of the house in like half an hour) now normally I'm very stubborn when waking up but this time round I was a bit more cooperative

While in the process of waking up, my boyfriend started tickling me so much omgg 😆😆🫶🏾💖🤭🤣 and you wanna know what the said to me?

"Who's my tickly girl? Who's my giggly girl? Come on, tell me~"

AHHHHH IVE ASCENDED😆😆💖🫶🏾🫶🏾😆💖💖

And he was hitting all of my sweet spots too omgggg laughing like that is so freeing. When he finally stopped, he climbed on top of me and asked, "How was that for a wake up call?"

All i could do was laugh. Wednesday after while sitting with some friends, I started ticking one of my other friends who is very ticklish in front of her boyfriend (he was on FaceTime at the time) and I was giving him tips on how to tickle her, but he already knew 🤭😏 (they are so cute together I swear😭💖🥰)

After that, my boyfriend slips his hand underneath my hoodie and shirt and starts kneading my belly pudge with ticklish vigor and oh goodness was it funny 😆🤣🤭💖 but it was fun tho

I said it once and i will say it again; it has gotten to the point where my boyfriend tickles me daily and omggg it is so freaking fun 😆💖 dear Lord the names he calls me

"What was that, my ticklish/giggly girl?" "Come on~ you know you wanna laugh" "laugh, laugh~"

AHHHHH I LOVE HIM SO MUCH 😭🥰😆💖😆🥰😭💖

I'm gonna break this up into another part cuz a lot happened in the past few days and if I put it all here, it's gonna be long as hell, so stay tuned for another update soon (might be tomorrow)

Recs for Uni or HS BLs where studying impacts plot

My ask box is bonkers, sometimes I get a message in email saying someone asked a question and then when I check on the hellsite itself, it's gone... (What does this MEAN?)

Anygay...

@sagi-kari asked a question:

Do you have any recs for Uni or HS BLs where the main focus is studying or study related (they have to actually do the thing). Like LITA with Rain's studies being a caveat to their relationship or Big Dragon with Mangkorn's New York internship/job idr.

Basically, the study needs to be an important thing to the narrative.

This is a doozie and I'm only gonna rec stuff I rated over 8/10

University & HS BL Revolving Around Study

Semantic Error - class conflict is the inciting event, and this is one of my favorite BLs of all time. So yeah, it tops the list. I am assuming you have watched it because EVERYONE must watch this little pice of perfect. Full review here.

Blueming - the school project is the source of the conflict, this is a complicated chewy very thoughtful BL, longer than normal for Korea. If you enjoy things like The 8th Sense you might like this. Full review here.

Love Class - the whole show is about a manufactured relationship as part of a social science class experiment. Full review here.

You Make Me Dance - I mean it's a dance major so no actual book study but yeah, it's there he has to win a dance scholarship as a main part of the plot. I've never done a full review of this, and frankly that's an oversite. Time for a rewatch?

HIStory 2: Right or Wrong - it's about a teacher student relationship so...

Addicted: Heroin - especially the first half, I know what you're thinking, but also, THINK about it. It's all within a class from environment for most of the first 6 eps. I believe it counts. This is, without question, the best BL China has ever produced. FIGHT ME.

Destiny Seeker - an under appreciated pulp that is basically predicated on the university sorting hat. I have great affection for this hot mess, including all the sides. Mostly takes place within and around the complexities of dorm life. Full review here.

Kiss Me Again series (BL cut) + Dark Blue Kiss (AKA the PeteKao series staring TayNew) - it's not necessarily a driver but engineering and study is actual integral in a setting as character kind of way. And there is a lot of "make-out while studying." Plus we in the TayNew renauances and I have great affection for their original series. Everyoen shoudl watch it. Here's the watch guide.

HS BL - not exactly study, but sorta & they really good

Light On Me - Another one of my absolute favorite BLs, but it's about the school government club, not actual study. Full review here.

Love Sick - if you count club activities. I just got a full load up of this series with new subs, so I was going to do a watch along in honor of 2024 (its 10th anniversary). I am still considering it.

My School President - also, if you count extra-curricular & club activities. Another BL that i absolutely adore. No full review but I did have a long discussion on how this plays into Thailand's new norm in BL here.

Takara & Amagi - ugh I love this show so much but it's more about popularity and social acceptance in HS than studing, full review here.

About Youth - if you count external parental pressure to over achieve, another underappreciated gem, this time for Taiwan. Full review here.

I dithered...

Bad Buddy - maybe, I mean departmental conflict is a large part of the story, plus high school back story club activities, but there is very little study. Full review here.

Please feel free to add more on a RP or in comments, but remember my codicil was I have to have personally rated it over 8/10 so your baby might not be on here because it wasn't to my personal taste.

[atopvisenyashill]

What if Jaehaerys died instead of Aemon?

So if Jaehaerys decided “i’ll take care of those pirates on Vermithor” and then took an arrow to the face, Aemon becomes King no problem, no muss, no fuss. There’s like. A lot of moving parts here and unknowns so I’m kinda breaking this up a bit-

Whomst Is All Here

So Jaehaerys dies in 92 AC. Aemon is King. Rhaenys is his heir presumptive, Laena HER heir presumptive. Baelon is alive for about nine more years, Alysanne for eight, though her memory is starting to go and she’s going to stop riding Silverwing within a few years. Gael is still alive. Viserys & Aemma haven’t married yet, nor have Daemon & Rhea. Laenor is two years from being born, Rhaenyra is….three I think idr exactly ajsj. I think Alysanne and Baelon are both gonna die at roughly the same time, given Aly is old & frail and Baelon had appendicitis, but imo, Aemma, Gael, Jocelyn, & Aemon are really up in the air here.

Succession Issues

What does Aemon do for succession? Well, considering Rhaenys’ argument is “you would rob my son of his birthright” I think it’s very likely that Aemon names Laenor Crown Prince/Prince of Dragonstone the moment he’s born, or soon after. Im……a bit unsure on the interim, because Laenor is born in 94, two years after Jaehaerys dies. Not a long time but long enough that people are probably going “well……what happens when you die tho.” Aemon is said to be a man who was quiet and dedicated to law and justice (whatever his definition that means, lmao), so I think he goes for the Aegon I approach after Rhaena is born but before Aegon the Uncrowned is born and goes “*cough cough* anyway look at how cute my granddaughter Laena is, you know she can ALREADY hold her head up, so strong, she’ll be a dragon rider for sure.”

It’s not that he’s actively trying to spurn Baelon & Viserys, it’s that Rhaenys can only have kids so fast, and they are nowhere near the point where she needs to feel rushed yet. She’s like 17, this is her first child, and it was perfectly healthy. With the shock of Jaehaerys dying in such a stupid way (he’s supposed to be like, The Conciliator, The Old Guy, and he goes out in an accident during a minor skirmish when he’d historically been very adept at squashing minor skirmishes), so that approach probably works until Laenor is born.

After that, Laenor is named Crown Prince and given all the education, privilege, and trappings that go with that title. If Aemon outlives Baelon but not by long, I………do think maybe the exact titles are a little messy? Because Alyssa was a queen Already when she’s Queen Regent, same for Cersei later on, but Rhaenys is never a Queen, Jocelyn is. So would Jocelyn maybe want the title Queen Regent? Or would she name Rhaenys…..Princess Regent? Out of respect for the fact that Laenor is Rhaenys’ son and she should have a say in his life? They could just name Lord Corlys Regent and Hand Of The King tbf, but we know nothing about Jocelyn’s personality, and we know Rhaenys is a proud woman, so I do wonder if there’s a lil thing going on here for a minute over who gets to Regent. That goes double if Aemon doesn’t outlive Baelon because I think Baelon would also put his hat in the ring, given it’s likely he serves as his brother’s hand. I mean, there’s not gonna be a war over who gets to be Regent, lol, but I do think there’s some power jockeying if Aemon doesn’t live too much longer, and Laenor doesn’t come of age before his grandfather dies.

Marriage Matches

With Aemon and Baelon being besties, I think it’s pretty natural to expect them to engage little Laenor and Viserys’ daughter - it just might not be Rhaenyra. the aemma marriage happens after Baelon is named Crown Prince, likely to ensure Viserys goes uncontested. With Rhaenys not yet having a daughter, I think there’s a chance Alysanne and/or Jocelyn, Rhaenys, even Aemon himself puts the kibbosh on that match until Laenor is born. THEN they’d be allowed to get married, imo, to ensure they have a Perfect Valyrian Bride option for Laenor. Laena is there, obviously, to be his sister-wife as well, BUT if Laenor doesn’t take an early interest in her (lol) I think Alysanne might push for them to have another Valyrian girl for him to get interested in. I think especially given Alysanne’s reaction to her daughters’ deaths, she might want to watch over their children and for Alysanne, that means match making, and on paper, Viserys is a nice match for Aemma. So maybe the Viserys-Aemma marriage happens, just later, so maybe Rhaenyra is born a little later, or maybe Aemma lives longer because her “purpose” isn’t to have a son, but a daughter, and she does this quickly. ���

ANOTHER marriage to take into consideration outside of Laenor is Laena herself. See, if Laenor is Crown Prince, he can’t be Lord or Driftmark. Does Corlys want to wait for Laenor to have more than one son, so he can name his grandchild his heir, risking that Laenor never has more than one son? Is he happy with Laena as eventual Lady of Driftmark? (seems….doubtful given his actions re: passing over Baela AND Rhaena for Addam and Alyn) Do he and Rhaenys try for a third child, and hope it’s a son? Lot of factors here, but if he is waiting for Laenor to have a second son, Laena is heir presumptive literally until adulthood. I think Corlys may be a bit more careful with engaging her to random sea lords willy nilly, if he’s risking going like twenty years without a clear heir. Also, given that Corlys is Velaryon, I do think it’s more likely he wants Laenor married to a born Targaryen woman, and not to Laena, and same for Laena - I don’t think she’s marrying a younger sibling lol. But also - maybe Aemon feels some type of way about this? I mean, he married his aunt, a way of joining the two lines of Alyssa Velaryon, so I do feel he would Also be more inclined to have Laenor marry Rhaenyra, and give Corlys the room to marry Laena off to whomever he wants. If the reason Rhaenys only had two kids is because birth was hard on Rhaenys, I think Aemon might step in to be like “Hey I didn’t force Jocelyn, I waited around for a grandson, so you better not be forcing my daughter, you can wait for Laena’s grandson too.” Like i THINK. And I’m not sure Corlys is the sort of man who would force a pregnancy on Rhaenys either, if only for pragmatism sake (but also, it just doesn’t seem his style). Anyways, as usual, Driftmark succession is messy.

Daemon is still likely bound for the Vale, considering the reason for that match was likely “give Daemon a seat he can fuck off to so he’s not a problem in the capital” and they already have Viserys as the extra dude at king’s landing, they don’t need ANOTHER of these guys hanging around wanting a dragon. and i DO wonder if he’s MORE miserable here - we don’t get a sense of his relationships with Rhaenys, Aemon, Baelon, or Alysanne but I can’t imagine they are any more sympathetic to his hatred of his marriage than Viserys was PLUS Aemon is still alive and therefor still riding Caraxes, so I think it’s not unlikely Daemon hasn’t claimed a dragon because there’s just not one to claim.

Gael, imo, wouldn’t be married off until after Alysanne dies, since Alysanne did not seem like she was in a hurry to do it. I can’t see Rhaenys pushing the point, and I do wonder if Aemon just puts it off bc like, it wasn’t an issue he wanted to push on Alysanne, and after that it’s just instinctual to go “yeah that’s Gael she’s always in the corner talking dragons with Laena, sisters, what can ya do” until there’s like, a good political reason to marry her off. My reasoning here btw is a) he seems to be a bit hands off when it comes to Jocelyn and Rhaenys and b) i think gael being Laena, Laenor, & Rhaenyra’s weird maiden aunt to be really funny, personally.

DRAGONS

So. It’s the year 102 AC. Aemon has been king for a decade, with a clear heir for eight years, though his mother, Alysanne, died a few years ago and his beloved brother Baelon died suddenly a year ago. He is still riding Caraxes! Living dragons that are riderless include Dreamfyre, Vhagar, Vermithor, Silverwing, potentially Seasmoke. Rhaenys has Meleys, Balerion just died. Kind of a dearth of dragon riders right now.

Again, this means either Daemon had to claim a different one - but WHICH ONE, I mean, Balerion, assuming Viserys still claims him just cuz, like, why would you give a dying dragon to your crown prince, but if the man who will eventually be the father of your grandson’s wife wants him, that might be a cool thing to brag about? and I do NAWT thing Aemon is letting Daemon get near Vhagar & I can’t see Daemon and Dreamfyre liking each other lmao - or Daemon still doesn’t have a dragon. Caraxes/Daemon aside, if you’re king, how do you plan this all out? I imagine Jaehaerys OR Alysanne had some sort of discussion with Aemon about controlling who gets to claim dragons?

Anyways, Laenor, growing up crown prince, is likely given a dragon egg in the cradle. There’s not a lot of young dragons to claim, I think Aemon would feel safe hatching another one for his heir. I don’t think it’s likely Rhaenyra has Syrax though - Viserys would need to ask Aemon for permission, and neither Aemon, nor Baelon nor Alyssa nor Rhaenys had cradle eggs. That said, I think he’d allow Rhaenyra to claim a dragon for her wedding to Laenor. The question is which one because as we know, Rhaenyra is a Visenya fangirl but-

ENTER LAENA VELARYON. All we know for sure from f&b is that Laena had claimed Vhagar by 105 AC and that Laenor claimed Seasmoke when they were both young. In the show - and tbc, idk if this was a thing George wanted in there, or just something they threw in - that Laena (and Aemond) heard Vhagar’s call and followed it to claim Vhagar, who was living wild still. So the question becomes….yeah sure it’s possible that Rhaenyra would want to claim Vhagar but does Laena hear the call and chase Vhagar anyway? Does Laenor’s cradle egg perhaps not hatch, and Laenor hears Seasmoke and claims him? IDK, it’s kinda weird but interesting.

If we’re going with what EYE think is most fun here - I like the idea that Laena hears Vhagar and claims her and I think Aemon would be delighted by his oldest grandchild being gutsy enough to seek out Vhagar. I think Aemon might hope for Rhaenyra to claim Silverwing, but tbh I keep picturing Gael, Laena, and Rhaenyra going dragon hunting after not totally jiving with Dreamfyre, and Laena nags Vhaegar and Gael nabs Silverwing mostly by accident, so Rhaenyra claims Vermithor. But that’s just like, me loving my girls aksjd. Rhaenyra could go for Dreamfyre tbh, and maybe even Syrax hatches because Aemon gives Rhaenyra permission to choose an egg. Idk. There’s a lot of ways to handle this, and I would think Aemon is very aware of how many dragons he’s letting get claimed & hatched, more so than Viserys was, because Aemon was trained to rule for far longer, and by a father who wasn’t already aging and forgetting shit.

But what is Daemon doing……..I kinda want HIM to claim Seasmoke, like, just angry and following the call of some wild dragon that’s been traveling up and down the coast of Westeros, and claiming a dragon historically claimed by two (2) gay men. Lol, lmao. And similar with Laenor/Laena in canon, Aemon can’t like, say no once Daemon has claimed him - he just needs to keep an eye on the wild dragons and people getting too near them. Which is also why I lean towards “the girls go dragon hunting with Rhaenys” because Aemon wants the dragons claimed if they don’t want to nest in the dragon pit.

WEIRD DYNAMICS

Laenor, growing up crown prince, may feel much more confident in himself, more sure of his role at court. Rhaenyra still grows up at court, but potentially with the influence of her mother, Aemma, and her cousin and future good mother Rhaenys as mentors, AND Gael - even discounting my theory there, Alysanne hasn’t been traveling back and forth between Dragonstone and the capital so Gael is slightly more active and at court. Personally, I like the idea of her and Laena both sneaking off one night, tired of waiting for Laena’s marriage where she can claim a dragon, and just claiming Vhagar and Silverwing for funsies.

I do think on the whole, the Laenor and Rhaenyra probably have both a better dynamic, and a healthier outlook on life because there’s not such a hubbub about the succession, their private lives, or their own status. It’s also possible that Daemon & Rhaenyra have been so cut off from each other for so long, Rhaenyra never develops a real attachment to him, and with some better mentors around her and like, someone who actually cares about her well-being around, Rhaenyra has a more socially acceptable outlet for her brothel escapades lmao. On the other hand, of course, it’s possible that being so secure in her position for so long makes Rhaenyra feel she can get away with being a little wild, and Aemon/Rhaenys have her and Laenor married quickly and packed off to Dragonstone to go grow up.

I do think the court is probably like, more or less pretty chill until Rhaenyra & Laenor & Laena get old enough to start like, fucking around. You would think with some stability theyd all be slightly more serious the way Rhaenys is, but like, you can’t be truly sure lol. And that’s not even factoring in Daemon feeling abandoned in the Vale.

[min-kit]

The whole “Buddie buildup for seasons!” thing is so funny to me as someone who’s been watching from the start. The very moment Eddie appeared in the first ep of season 2 and talked to Buck (which was pretty charged and slightly negative) people started shipping them and demanding for them to get together based on chemistry alone, with no build up or backstory. It obviously continued as the show went on and more moments happened but as someone who shipped them back then they actually made MORE sense when the ship and chemistry was fresh imo, in seasons 2 and 3, and no one debated it as then. Now that Tommy appeared now suddenly it’s all “3939 seasons of buildup!”. Especially weird when there were some seasons where there was negative buildup for Buddie. Again, I used to ship them so it’s not like I’m against the idea but saying Buddie makes more sense than BuckTommy only because of madeup is BS.

warning: this is long!!

I actually came into the show with buddie goggles on. I think my first episode live was 4x4? It was either Future Tense or the episode RIGHT after Future Tense, idr which but I had a mutual or someone I followed on twitter who was really into the show & would share ppl's edits. Now I knew they weren't canon & even then I didn't need them to be (i like a good "queerbait" as the kids call it, tho i have arguments for what actually constitutes queerbait. I simply call it "shippable"). But as someone who went in knowing about their ship, I looked at EVERYTHING with those goggles on. So yeah I shipped them hardcore for those seasons. Then s6 happened and I packed my bags on that ship to ever actually happen in canon and resolved to watch the show a bit more casually season 7 onwards (and I would've done too had I not heard the rumors about bi Buck!! haha)

But I did start rewatching the series through the reactions of someone who did not have those goggles on a few months ago and it really shed some light on certain things. All that is to say, I do agree with you. If it was something that was ever gonna be done, during s2 & 3 makes the most sense. I think ppl forget that fanon is not the same as canon & things that work in fanfiction do not work in the actual canon world of the show. Now that Buck is bisexual, I do fully believe & adopt the headcanon that he had feelings for Eddie early on & just didn't realize it, but they developed fully into friendship.

I don't think they're going to make Eddie canonically queer too. I just don't. I'm not sure why I ever thought they might give both coming out stories (maybe it's because I watch a lot of Asian BL). Unfortunately, that is just not how network television works in America. The fact they made Buck queer 7 seasons in is already HUGE. I'm not gonna hang my hopes on what's probably an impossibility when I have this beautiful canon queer storyline happening on my screen already & I genuinely like Tommy & think he's the perfect LI for Buck.

I think here is what people need to realize too. Once again fanon =/= canon. There are no so many years of build-up. Unless and until they make buddie canon, those years of build-up do not exist because, currently, they're not trying to build anything up. Tim has said they aren't currently planning it, Ryan again and again has said how much Buck & Eddie's friendship means to him to see on television because you don't see male friendships portrayed that way (and you don't! especially not friendships between 2 "macho" men both in their 30s, 1 of whom is canonically queer. This too is an important storyline to tell).

People watch this show with buddie goggles feeling like they're owed these 2 to get together but that just isn't the case. Tim will tell the story he wants to tell & ppl viewing are signing up to watch THAT show. If you don't like that show, stick to fanon because that's something you can control.

And, one day, if they do decide to go in that direction (and I'm firmly in the camp they're not going to & if they do it's gonna be in the final season, but I truly think ABC wants 911 to be another Grey's Anatomy; something that can go on for 20 seasons so who even knows if these actors will want to stick around that long) it's not going to be the story of Buck & Eddie realizing they've had feelings for each other all this time. They won't be able to convince the GA of that. It'll be them falling in love for the first time on screen. But first they need to convince the GA that Eddie is whatever brand of queer they decide on (it's not going to be gay, I will say that right now. As much as I understand why people headcanon him as such & even agreed for a long time, that is not the reality within the show's canon. The show is not trying to lie to people about Eddie enjoying sex with women, they would make it more obvious for the people who don't sit online analyzing if that were the case. Personally I've started reading Eddie as aromantic but I know most ppl here would never be cool with that since it puts a damper on buddie too).

If people want to continue living in a delusional world where these things will for sure happen, then that's on them and is their right. Have fun with it! Fandom belongs to the fans. You can do anything here. But to get upset and angry because other fans might not agree, or the people in charge of the show don't go the direction you want? Well that's just silly. We are viewers (& also writers can NOT use the things fans say. They could get in serious trouble for that). You can be active in a fandom space, but at the end of the day, being a viewer is a passive job. The writers write the show, then they film it and put it out to the world & a viewer views it & enjoys the art that these hundreds upon thousands of people created.

And, also, there's a lot more passive viewers than there are active members of fandom. And people forget that. If every single hardcore shipper stopped watching right now, the views would hardly dip. They won't lose anything just because they decide not to make fandom's favorite ship canon.

dainsleif quest

the lore drops. fucking impeccable. but also i feel edged the fuck on. like we learned a liiiiiiiitle but also get 10 thousand unanswered questions as well

that's pretty standard for dainsleif quests though ig

the quest itself. can we even call that a quest it was so anticlimatic ajkdfladjsf like just content-wise i think that genuinely might have been our worst dainsleif quest the lore was CARRYING this shit and all we got was more questions and it felt SO short

as an aside its also criminal how long apart these quests are bc i honestly already kinda forgot what happened in the previous one (caribert) and i had to like. really use my brain to remember the lore we got then

DAINSLEIF BROTHER????????????

just in general like. my mind was exploding when we were talking about the five sinners of khaenri'ah. i want to learn more about them so bad

"i'll tell you all you want to know" YOU'RE NOT TELLING US ENOUGH DAINSLEIF ELABORATE

WE DESERVED A PROPER DAINSLEIF VS ABYSS TWIN ANIMATED FIGHT CUTSCENE. HOW DARE YOU JUST FADE TO BLACK ARE YOU KIDDINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

ngl when we first saw caribert i actually thought this might be dainsleif's brother and i was like NOOOOOOOOOO THEY CAN'T NPC DAIN'S BRO

i just KNOWWW his brother is gonna be so sexy whenever they reveal him. sorry i had to say it. anyways.

caribert man... his whole deal honestly felt like a sidequest within the quest but that was sad :(

not to be a #scarastan but i was just thinking so hard about the parallels between caribert and scara, implanting vs removing oneself from the memories of the world. both doing it to bring comfort to others, even if futile. i'm not smart enough to expand on this but i'm sure yall know what i mean

anyways okay. so the loom of fate can weave ley lines, that name makes sense now. now can literally anybody please explain what the fuck yall want to do with it

honestly the twin reunion scene felt kinda. idk. flat? like i was more hyped about the abyss twin vs dainsleif part kadjlsflds (speaking of which the way dain clenched his fist lmaooooooo i was just thinking of that one arthur meme)

i do love the detail that the twins call each other by their canon names though

was kind of 🙄 when we got hit with the "yeah btw you won't remember any of this once we're out of here." okay plot convenience

actually is it even plot convenience? like literally what harm would there have been of the traveler remembering???? what are they gonna do???? the only actionable thing of substance we learned was that the loom of fate was completed which dainsleif should have figured out anyways since he got the eye taken from him????????

actually i think it was great that dainsleif got bamboozled though. dude has been carried by plot armor for too long

sea of flowers mention interesting (i have no thoughts on this just interesting esp since i'm pretty sure that's the place shown in the teyvat trailer)

so basically confirmed the heavenly principles are asleep/inactive for some reason. idr if it was explicitly mentioned before. i actually DID wonder why we didn't get some celestia nail action smiting after all the shit that happened in fontaine, a lot of people thought that was gonna happen too with the whole celestia is floating right over fontaine

and then we wake up and the quest just ends??? LET ME TALK TO DAIN HELLO

also like. why did dain want to confront the abyss twin again??? maybe it was mentioned in an earlier quest and if so i forgot but either way i don't understand wtf dain was up to by luring the abyss twin out

no literally that felt like half a quest

objectively i think that quest kinda sucked but i will forgive it solely because of the lore drops no matter how tiny they were and bc i did really like caribert's story

[tojiscrack]

WIFEYYYYY

before i get into responding, u will be happy to know i have completely cut off shitbag LMAO

i think my frontal lobe developed or something bc he said this INSANE thing the other day and i was like 'yep nope we're done here'.

basically he sent me a video of tory lanez and i was like 'isn't that the guy who shot megan in the foot' and he said... 'okay but it's megan so womp womp' and i was like 'wtf is wrong with you' and he was like 'tory >' and i said 'thats actually a nasty thing to say' and he said 'i have a lack of sympathy for celebs' and i said 'still a nasty thing to say idk what on earth would make you say that' and he gave me a damn list...

'1. lack of sympathy. 2. i prefer tory. 3. i feel like 10 years is insane. 4. he pled guilty. 5. based on what ive read, megan isn't the best person either'

and i said 'this is such an odd take' and then left him on read when he tried to justify himself LMAO

THATS SO TRUE ACTUALLY LMAOOO

'girl you’d hate to be around me irl.'

nah nah nah bc u cant help it but i get second hand embarassment from ppl who WILLINGLY do embarassing shit without intending for it to be embarassing

'but i trip so often that i kinda just shrug it off and go about my day regardless.'

thats actually so freakin real tho.... i fall down the stairs twice a year at minimum

'i can understand this too. i loveeee coffee. especially iced coffee. iced lattes. with extra caramel syrup… and whipped cream on top… 👀'

EXACTLYYYYYYYYY

'but being single isn’t a bad thing at all.'

'i personally prefer it bc satoru gojo literally exists'

I WAS THINKING AB THIS THE OTHER DAY ACTUALLY.

i realized that i definitely can't be in a relationship w someone unless they like jjk or are willing to like jjk

'but like, i’m assuming you like megumi (given by the fact that you’re reading my megumi/reader story and he’s ur pfp), and then you like that zen guy from that game 😭 those two don’t have anything in common except, perhaps, being kinda emo 💀'

WELLLL YES AND NOOOOOO

i love megumi thats undebateable

HI AGAINNNN 😭🫶🏽

‘before i get into responding, u will be happy to know i have completely cut off shitbag LMAO’ — …

HALLELUJAH 🥳🥳🥳

read that whole story with one breath i SWEAR. okay first of all, i don’t even fw celebrities like that, like i’m genuinely so tired of them all that idgaf about them except for a rare few who have their priorities straight and use their platform for good. that being said, how is shitbag celebrating a man shooting another woman in the foot? 😀

glad you dropped him. keep it that way.

‘anyways i want him dead!’ — welcome to the club sisterrrr 😫

‘nah nah nah bc u cant help it but i get second hand embarassment from ppl who WILLINGLY do embarassing shit without intending for it to be embarassing’ — mmm ok yeah fair enough. i do things without shame tho, so idk if you’d like to be on my other side and witness that 👀 (my irl bsf literally flies away from me when i pull dumb shit out my ass LMAOOO)

‘i fall down the stairs twice a year at minimum’ — HAHAHA 😭 minimum? yk my minimum is, like, ten for that specifically. and seven of those are probably in public too 💀 i’m clumsy-clumsy

‘but lowk i havent been drinking coffee much since i stopped making him drive me around LMAO’ — the only downside to not having him around ig 😭

‘i realized that i definitely can't be in a relationship w someone unless they like jjk or are willing to like jik’ — my requirement is that they have to BE in jjk 😋 and BE satoru g

‘i love megumi thats undebateable’ — 🫡

‘but when it comes to guys in anime, i have zero type. if i like them, i like them. if i dont, i dont yk?’ — ahhh it’s like my music taste 😭 i don’t have like a specific type i listen to. i just pick certain songs to be on my playlist based on whether i like what i hear or not (but mainly, it consists of lana del rey, the nbhd, cas, the smiths, and more recently: the marias).

‘YESSSSS U SHOULD. my first gojo smau is what put me on the map. i think i gained 500 followers from it’ — i’ll be sure to check it out some time soon (i’m still lowkey scared bc a lot of the things other ppl put in their stories cringe me out and then i get put off 😓).

i posted a gojo smau like 10 mins ago ‘cause i saw this one fan art of gojo in a store buying sanitary pads and my brain was like ‘you have to write smth about this’, and then i remembered how writing is literally a drug to me. once i start, i won’t stop, and i’m on a hiatus so it’d be really bad if i got addicted again 😭

what was the next best thing? smth quick, easier, less detailed?

an smau.

and i won’t be expected to do it repetitively like chapters for a story. i see why you do them now 🫢

anyway, point is, i’m putting my trust in you by choosing to read ur smaus ‘cause you seem to be the queen of non-cringe apparently 👀 but if i see a cringey nickname or smth about gojo wearing a maid dress, i’m gonna levitate off planet earth 🥴

‘i’ve lowk taken a break from smau tho bc i'm getting uninspired…’ — real :/

‘idr if i told u this yet or not but i finished playing it and now my life is empty’ — you have, hahaa. maybe use c.ai to fill the void? 👀 i use it before bed LMAOO

‘YESSSS U SEE MY VISION’ — the way i didn’t even know other ppl held the same view as me 😭 HAHAHA

‘AT LEAST ZEN DOESN'T ACT LIKE A TEENAGE BOY...’ — you’re right.

he acts like a fully grown MALAKAI MORTIMER 💀

‘YES MAAAAAAAAAM’ — WOOHOOOOO (i’d write a chapter of LL for you but… yk… hiatus :( )

‘i got in for general studies... when i'm trying to do a limited enrollment major... so ive given up on that school!’ — ahh, it’s fine! there are other better options out there for you, i’m sure 🩵

‘u should just like write little blips if u need to so u can keep your mental fortitude 🙏🙏🙏 thats what i do’ — yeah but with me, i’ll get addicted and hooked on and then abandon studying altogether 🥴 idk why i’m like that, i just am

but i found that writing smaus (which are a millionnnn times quicker btw 😋) seems to satiate that desire kinda. so maybe i’ll do LL smaus instead of gojo ones (i love love loveee gojo but my target audience is my LL audience).

i’ll maybe do more gojo ones once i’ve finished planning my gojo fic — which won’t be out until LL’s done :/

‘lets kiss’ — 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

‘i respond fast i think’ — 👀

‘hope u are having a great day and good luck studying pookie’ — i’m about to go to sleep and i can do it imagining you and me and us at the beach or smth with a bonfire and chatting absolute shit about shitbag <3333
