OK. You got a rain advisory today, and as you all know, bees cannot fly in rain. So be careful. As always, watch your brooms, hockey sticks, dogs, birds, bears and bats. Also, I got a couple of reports of root beer being poured on us. Murphy's in a home because of it, babbling like a cicada! - That's awful. - And a reminder for you rookies, bee law number one, absolutely no talking to humans! All right, launch positions! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Black and yellow! Hello! You ready for this, hot shot? Yeah. Yeah, bring it on. Wind, check. - Antennae, check. - Nectar pack, check. - Wings, check. - Stinger, check. Scared out of my shorts, check. OK, ladies, let's move it out! Pound those petunias, you striped stem-suckers! All of you, drain those flowers! Wow! I'm out! I can't believe I'm out! So blue. I feel so fast and free! Box kite! Wow! Flowers! This is Blue Leader. We have roses visual. Bring it around 30 degrees and hold. Roses! 30 degrees, roger. Bringing it around. Stand to the side, kid. It's got a bit of a kick. That is one nectar collector! - Ever see pollination up close? - No, sir. I pick up some pollen here, sprinkle it over here. Maybe a dash over there, a pinch on that one. See that? It's a little bit of magic. That's amazing. Why do we do that? That's pollen power. More pollen, more flowers, more nectar, more honey for us. Oool. I'm picking up a lot of bright yellow. Oould be daisies. Don't we need those? Oopy that visual. Wait. One of these flowers seems to be on the move. Say again? You're reporting a moving flower? Affirmative. That was on the line! This is the coolest. What is it? I don't know, but I'm loving this color. It smells good. Not like a flower, but I like it. Yeah, fuzzy. Ohemical-y. Oareful, guys. It's a little grabby. My sweet lord of bees! Oandy-brain, get off there! Problem! - Guys! - This could be bad. Affirmative. Very close. Gonna hurt. Mama's little boy. You are way out of position, rookie! Ooming in at you like a missile! Help me! I don't think these are flowers. - Should we tell him? - I think he knows. What is this?! Match point! You can start packing up, honey, because you're about to eat it! Yowser! Gross. There's a bee in the car! - Do something! - I'm driving! - Hi, bee. - He's back here! He's going to sting me! Nobody move. If you don't move, he won't sting you. Freeze! He blinked! Spray him, Granny! What are you doing?! Wow... the tension level out here is unbelievable. I gotta get home. Oan't fly in rain. Oan't fly in rain. Oan't fly in rain. Mayday! Mayday! Bee going down! Ken, could you close the window please? Ken, could you close the window please? Oheck out my new resume. I made it into a fold-out brochure. You see? Folds out. Oh, no. More humans. I don't need this. What was that? Maybe this time. This time. This time. This time! This time! This... Drapes! That is diabolical. It's fantastic. It's got all my special skills, even my top-ten favorite movies. What's number one? Star Wars? Nah, I don't go for that... ...kind of stuff. No wonder we shouldn't talk to them. They're out of their minds. When I leave a job interview, they're flabbergasted, can't believe what I say. There's the sun. Maybe that's a way out. I don't remember the sun having a big 75 on it. I predicted global warming. I could feel it getting hotter. At first I thought it was just me. Wait! Stop! Bee! Stand back. These are winter boots. Wait! Don't kill him! You know I'm allergic to them! This thing could kill me! Why does his life have less value than yours? Why does his life have any less value than mine? Is that your statement? I'm just saying all life has value. You don't know what he's capable of feeling. My brochure! There you go, little guy. I'm not scared of him. It's an allergic thing. Put that on your resume brochure. My whole face could puff up. Make it one of your special skills. Knocking someone out is also a special skill.
More bees

helloooooo!!!!
i was scrolling facebook earlier today and saw a sleep token group discussing who they thought was oldest/youngest in the band and it was interesting! everyone seems to interpret each of them differently which is fun lol.
but i did see someone discussing what they were pretty sure were *actual* ages of the guys. not overly bothered, it was still respectful of the anonymity and honestly not that far off from my guesses but now i’m spiralling
because now i’m thinking about how old that person said vessel is, and how old the band itself is, and coming to the horrific realization that vessel went through a lot of horrible shit at a very young age. like he couldn’t have been much older than i am now when the band started and i cannot imagine experiencing anything half as painful as what he writes in his songs- i’m still a baby! lol. i’m very in my feels about it and it’s also partly because i watched barbie tonight and was not prepared to feel existential over a movie about dolls 😂
but yeah. that’s been my night lmao. existential crises and crippling empathetic heartache for a man i’ve never met lol
I spent way to much trying to think of how to respond to this haha.
I think I came to that realization not long after finding Sleep Token. Vessel’s always felt around 4/5 years older then me, and in the older performances he felt like a younger person (I hope that line makes since).
It’s always a bit emotionally stressful to remember tho. That Vessel was probably only around 20 (or maybe even younger) while going through all the shit he’s been through.

If you’re someone who needs reassurance from loved ones that they love you, that’s really valid. But the way you ask for it matters. Hinting at it with comments like “nobody loves me” can actually be hurtful to your loved ones. It’s also a good idea to try and reassure yourself first!
The truth is that for a lot of people, giving reassurance constantly is exhausting. It can lead to issues in a relationship over time, and negative feelings on both sides because they may end up avoiding the other person. This is especially true if someone doesn't ask for reassurance directly but hints at it with things like "No one cares about me."
My advice is if you are finding yourself struggling is to first try and self soothe either with skills or things that have helped in the past. Here is my post on self-soothing ideas! And if that doesn’t work, then ask for it in a healthy way.
Some other examples.
Keep screenshots, letters, cards etc that affirm you are cared about by your loved ones. You can even ask someone to give you a recording of them saying it that you can listen to. Bonus: Keep these things in a self-care box that you can use in times of crisis and pull out that has other things in like affirmation cards, favourite treats, self care items, etc.
Examine the evidence. By this I mean try and keep a list of things they've done to show they care about you. For example, I have a list of things my partner has done for me besides saying "I love you" of both big things and little things that I can read when my brain decides to be rude to me and make me doubt he cares.
If the other person has done something specifically to make you feel they don't care, it's important to step back and look at the situation and check the facts. There's a difference between someone lying to you or doing something intentional and someone not replying to you because they got busy. Here’s my post on checking the facts!
Here’s a post on Challenging Irrational Thoughts!
ACCEPTS is a really good skill for distractions! Here's a post on it.
TIPP is a good skill if you are needing to calm down in immediate crisis. Here's a post on it.
If you're having urges to accuse your loved one of not caring, consider Urge Surfing (here's a post on it) and then using a skill or plan that helps you.
If you aren't able to self-soothe that's so valid! It really is. I recommend trying it because sometimes you will be able to. But then sometimes you won't be able to and that's okay. In this case, if you need to get it from someone, ask directly for it instead of doing it in a guilting/passive aggressive/hinting way. You might say "Hey. I know you care about me, but my brain is being rude. Can you please give me some reassurance?" instead of "Sorry I'm such a bad friend/person/burden/etc".
It might also be worth having a conversation when calm with the other person to establish some boundaries and ideas for communication.
For example, if your friend regularly feels drained by you asking for reassurance, they could set boundaries on how often they're okay for you to ask for it.
You both might decide that they will try and message you randomly to offer reassurance because it can mean a lot when that happens.
This might be where they send you messages/recordings/etc that you can read in times of need.
If the friend is doing something specifically, even unintentionally, that makes you question things then it's really valid to have a discussion about it! I recommend using some I-Statements or other communicative skills to talk about it. Even if they aren't doing something wrong, it's still valid to talk about your feelings and see if you can come up with a solution. For example, maybe it's really hard on you that they disappear randomly for a couple days when their energy levels plummet. And this causes you to spiral and think they're ghosting you or etc. In this situation, maybe you and your friend come up with a solution where you establish a single emoji (specific for this purpose) that the friend can send with low energy that says "Hey. It's not you but I'm feeling drained and need to not reply for a bit."

Pleaseeee can you fo more homicipher reaction to mc who is very cheerful in every situation like shes either giggling or smiling, she's so unserious and oblivious af too.
⊱ Homicipher Characters’ Reactions to an MC Who Is Cheerful and Oblivious ⊰ || Multiple Character Headcanons
╭─━━━━━━━━━━━━─╮ Character(s): Mr. Crawling, Mr. Chopped, Mr. Machete, Mr. Hood, Mr. Scarletella (Homicipher/文字化化) Reader Type: Human (Gender-Neutral Pronouns) Warning(s): Minor Spoilers for Homicipher (Mr. Scarletella’s Part), Minor Canon-typical Mentions of Violence. Genre: Headcanons, Fluff, Romantic or Platonic Relationship (It’s Complicated, honestly). Word Count: ~2,100 words. Request: “Pleaseeee can you fo more homicipher reaction to mc who is very cheerful in every situation like shes either giggling or smiling, she's so unserious and oblivious af too.” Author’s Note: This was such a fun request to think about since a human like this existing within the other world would pretty much be a living, walking target – like, you’d probably be dead so quickly if you were oblivious or naïve or too trusting (like me when I first played through the game and was smiling every time a hot monster man talked to me 😭). Since you didn’t specify any characters, I just picked a handful that I thought would have varying reactions to the type of reader you requested. I hope you enjoy! 
→ If you enjoyed my work, please reblog it if you can! Exposure on Tumblr is based on reblogging content rather than liking it, so your support would be much appreciated!  ♡
╰─━━━━━━━━━━━━─╯
Tumblr media
👣: Mr. Crawling loves your cheerful and friendly personality, finding it a breath of fresh air within the other world. It draws him to you even more, like a moth to a bright flame. He likes how you sometimes just randomly giggle or laugh. He does it, too, so it’s nice to meet someone so similar to him! He definitely feels this sense of kinship with you when he notices all the similarities you two share. Mr. Crawling does everything in his power to keep you safe, wanting to protect you from everything or everyone attempting to harm you in the hopes you don’t lose that sparkle – that light within you.
👣: He’s already very protective of you, and your obliviousness to the other world and its residents makes that feeling even stronger. He is aware that your friendly and trusting nature will be taken advantage of in the world he calls his home, so he somehow manages to take a more proactive role when it comes to keeping you safe… if that was even possible (it’s ON SITE if he sees Mr. Stitch near you. Mr. Crawling knows how that particular resident acts, and he would prefer not to have him kidnap or try to eat you…). 
👣: Whenever you laugh, he also laughs – you do the same thing with him, too, so you both kind of bounce off of each other and act like the other’s personal echo. Any other resident who sees the two of you kind of thinks you have a few screws loose, watching from afar while you both just randomly laugh together without a care in the world. Honestly, Mr. Crawling thinks it’s nice to be able to laugh with someone else like this. 
👣: Overall, your personality manages to make him love you even more (if that was even possible). Mr. Crawling does everything in his power to make sure you never stop smiling, never once making you feel like you’re not supposed to laugh even if it may not be seen as appropriate in the situation. He doesn’t care that sometimes your obliviousness results in both of you finding yourselves between a rock and a hard place. He will be there by your side until the day you tell him to leave – his love for you is unconditional, and that’s just a fact no matter what kind of person you are. 
Tumblr media
🗣️: Much like Mr. Crawling, Mr. Chopped also finds himself immensely endeared to you and your personality. He loves how happy you are all the time, and he finds his mood improving whenever you’re around, too! It’s wonderful to have someone like you around, someone who is always so cheerful and upbeat, especially considering the place you have found yourself trapped in. He appreciates it – appreciates you, as a whole – but that doesn’t mean he has no reservations about your personality… 
🗣️: His anxiety spikes whenever he thinks too much about what you were potentially getting up to whenever he wasn’t around, worried about you getting taken advantage of or giggling at the wrong question and ending up injured, or worse, dead. He really enjoys spending time with you, you’re like a ray of sunlight in such a dark place, and the thought of that being gone after having just experienced it is… quite an unpleasant thought (he doesn’t know what sunlight is, but he can vaguely remember a yellow warmth from a time long forgotten that you remind him of). If he had a body, he’d probably be ripping his beloved hair out just because of how oblivious you can be. 
🗣️: Mr. Chopped is definitely the type to just start scolding you point-blank, telling you that you need to be more careful – his beautiful hair is going to turn grey at this point with how often he worries about you! Please don’t make him worry… It’s not good for his metaphorical heart. He even lectures you about how he typically tells the difference between people he can trust (like you, Mr. Silvair, the Hairdresser) versus people he knows he can’t trust (like the Hooded Child or Mr. Stitch) in the hopes it will have you thinking about your safety more. 
🗣️: Sometimes he feels a sense of helplessness whenever he thinks about you and the fact he can’t do anything to keep you safe; it’s something he opens up about to Mr. Silvair whenever you’re not around. Mr. Chopped finds himself wishing that he had a body, even though you had assured him he was perfectly fine in your eyes without one. He just wants to help and protect you the way that others you knew were capable of doing. Whenever you sense he’s feeling down, though, your bright smile is enough to wash away his worries about your well-being, even if only for a moment. 
Tumblr media
🔪: Doesn’t understand why you’re so chipper all the time. Honestly, I feel like Mr. Machete would find it annoying, the fact you’re always smiling or giggling at one thing or another. He’ll purposefully chuck his sword at you in the hopes that it will scare you, make you wipe that stupid smile off your face, but it never does… It falters a bit, sure, but it never fully goes away, and that just pisses him off more.  
🔪: He kind of makes it his mission to try and break you, to see how or what he can do to finally make you get angry or upset. After all, you never really fight back when he tries to start things with you, and that’s boring. He wants you to get frustrated at him, wants to see you throw a punch or try to hit him after another attempt at making your smile disappear, yet you never do. You remain smiling, and you’re oh-so blinding whenever you do, and he hates it. He hates you (or does he? He isn’t even sure himself… emotions are too complicated).
🔪: Overall, Mr. Machete has mixed feelings toward you. He can respect the strength it takes to keep a smile on your face, to remain positive and happy in a place filled to the brim with violence and death… That doesn’t mean he likes it, though, hearing your laughter whenever he does something you find endearing or if you see something you find amusing. It’s a sound that's headache-inducing, yet it also makes him want to pick you up and squeeze you (I’m a firm believer that he would have cuteness aggression). He has a love-hate relationship with you. 
🔪: Mr. Machete also finds himself fed up with your obliviousness and naïvety, especially regarding other residents. He’s getting sick and tired of you finding yourself in trouble and, when it finally sets in you’re in danger, you call to him for help. Why the hell are you calling for him? You got yourself into this mess, and you’ll figure out a way to get out of it… Well, that’s what he says, but he usually takes care of whatever resident you found yourself in a conflict with, or he tosses you effortlessly over one shoulder and absconds if he doesn’t think it’s a fight he can win (don’t ask him why he even bothers saving you – he doesn’t know the answer, either). 
Tumblr media
🪓: Your cheerful and peppy attitude, the way you’re always smiling brightly and warmly at everyone you meet, makes Mr. Hood feel both endeared to you and worried about you. You do realize you just agreed to give that resident your heart, right? If he wasn’t here, you most certainly would have died, and that’s not exactly a thought he wants to entertain. He felt protective over you since the first moment you met, and that feeling had not died down once (even if looking after you had made him feel like he’d aged a century). 
🪓: Always places himself between you and other residents when you attempt to communicate with them, using himself as a shield just in case you accidentally agree to something absurd or laugh at the wrong thing. Mr. Hood really shifts into teaching mode after cases like these, making sure you know exactly what certain words mean and when not to laugh, smile, or blindly agree to things. Honestly, if you were oblivious and overly trusting, he would feel it was his duty to stay by your side at all times and would be worried about what would happen if he left you alone.  
🪓: However, despite the persisting feeling of worry your personality and some of your traits bring him when watching you interacting with most of the other residents, he can’t help but enjoy your presence. It’s new, and he surprisingly likes hearing the sound of your laughter. He finds your personality and behaviors to be cute, even though they bring you trouble more often than not. Most of the time, sometimes unconsciously, Mr. Hood finds himself resting his hand on the top of your head, patting it softly whenever you look up and smile at him so brightly. 
🪓: Mr. Hood, despite finding that your obliviousness and your inability to take most things seriously typically ends up with you winding up in troublesome situations that could have been easily avoided, he still wouldn’t change a single thing about you (he has no problem staining his hands with more blood to keep you safe – killing residents while protecting you at the same time is something he’s good at, after all). Your smile is just too bright, your laugh almost infectious, and all he wants to do is make sure it never fades. He feels a strange ache in his chest whenever you take his hands into yours and tug him along, laughing all the way. He doesn’t understand it, but he also doesn’t have the desire to understand it, either.  
Tumblr media
🩸: Your personality intrigues him, and he finds himself desiring to know what you’re thinking about. What makes you so happy? How can you continue to travel through the other world, facing one traumatic event after another, with a smile constantly plastered on your face? A person like you is new to Mr. Scarletella, and he wants to be around you more. He wants to figure out how he can be the person making you smile and laugh in such a way – he wants to be able to bathe in the warmth and brightness your aura radiates. 
🩸: Mr. Scarletella doesn’t make his presence known most of the time throughout your journey, but he watches you from afar, keeping an eye on you. However, if he does need to step in to keep you from harm, he will. Your reaction to him is unlike anyone else he's met, though. Most people who saw the man with the red umbrella would scream and run the other way, terrified of the story that was intertwined with his existence, but you didn’t. Honestly, it makes him want you more – you’re new, you’re different – and he likes it… likes you. There’s something about the sound of your laughter and your happy-go-lucky nature that makes him feel alive, in a way. 
🩸: However, because of your obliviousness and naïvety, when he asks for your name and you just give it to him without a second thought… well, it makes his goal a lot easier. If I’m being 100% honest, being oblivious or overly trusting around Mr. Scarletella is not a good mix. Because he finds you interesting and different from other humans he’s seen before, he’s pleased that you’re his now – heart, body, and soul. You forget everything about yourself after, though, and he doesn’t find you as appealing as he once did (he low-key kind of regrets asking for your name). 
🩸: For feel-good purposes, though, we’ll just ignore the last point and continue with the fluff… So, overall, Mr. Scarletella would find you fascinating and would find himself wanting to be near you in any capacity, whether it be as your master or your servant, he wouldn’t care so long as he got to be with you. He honestly wonders how you’ve managed to live for as long as you have considering your general attitude towards most things, but he’s glad that you did. Being with you makes his lungs feel like they’re full of fresh air, and he gets a pleasant tingling sensation in his body whenever he hears your laughter echo through the dilapidated hallways of the other world.

Tumblr media
if it wasn’t for the fact that this has happened almost every day for the last year you two have been living together jeongin could’ve sworn you were doing this on purpose — riling him up just to leave him high and dry each and every time.
but you didn’t know it , you didn’t know that when you’d squeeze his thigh when you’re randomly talking about something that excited you, he had to think about anything else to keep him from getting hard. or when you’d walk around the house in an oversized shirt and shorts so short they might as well be panties while you cleaned or lounged around.
he constantly had a hard on when you were around ; and you didn’t even notice , and it was eating him up inside. “innie?”
he was brought back hearing your voice. “are you listening?” no he wasn’t , his eyes were current bulged out of his head because you were standing there in a towel. “i said the water is cold , you need to cool it on the 2 hour showers.” you pouted , the water dripping down your face. “i could only shower for 15 minutes that’s not even enough time fo…” it was like your voice was fading away , he couldn’t keep his eyes off of you. “you aren’t even listening.”
before his brain could send him a warning ; his feet were moving , and moving near towards you. “jeongin.” his hand coming to your face , you gasped out. “please shut up.” before you could even scold him his lips were on yours , you took a step back , but he didn’t let you pull away , he only pulled away when he began to get light headed due to lack of oxygen. “fuck i need to do that again.”
he could barely keep it together as he basically dragged you back to your room. “je-jeongin slow down , what’s gotten into you?” it’s not like you didn’t like it , you were just confused. “you , you’ve gotten into me , you don’t even know.” he pushed you down on the bed. “you don’t even know what you do to me.”
he was bent down on his knees in front of you , his mouth kissing in between your thighs. “innie.” you sighed , moaning as you felt his breathing on your cunt. “fuck you smell so good.” he kissed your mound , licking your folds. “oh fuck innie.” your hands tangling up in his hair as he ate your cunt like a starving man , finally getting a taste of you.
“so good.” your legs hanging off his back ; your taste was addicting , it was even better than he envisioned , he groaned , his cock becoming unbearably hard. “fuck innie , im gonna cum.” you tugged at his roots to try and pull him away from your cunt , but he held your thighs tightly , he did not want to let you go. “fu-fuck! im cumming !” you shouted as you came , your juices dripping on your tongue. “i-innie.”
he finally pulled away, the towel now laying on the bed leaving you bare. “fuck if i didn’t need to feel you on my cock , i could spent the rest of the day in between your legs.” he slowly made his way up to you , undoing the string to his sweats. “you taste so good.” your face was flushed watching him pull his cock out , it was big , and veiny with a precum dripping from his red tip. “so-so big.” he cursed , pressing his cock against your hole. “but you can take it right?”
he didn’t even wait for you to answer , pushing his cock inside , watching your mouth drop open. “oh fuck you’re so tight.” he pulled out , pushing back inside. “so fucking warm.” folding your body in half , legs pressed against your chest as he began to pound into you. “fuck just like i dreamt of.” he grunted. “re-really?” you stuttered.
“fu-fuck baby yes , but you have been so inside the pretty little head -shit- you haven’t even noticed how bad i wanted to fuck you.” he hit that spot inside you , your fingers raking down his back , he hissed. “jeongin im gonna cum.” you cried out , the knot in your stomach tightening. “fu-fuck me too.” he groaned. “where do you want it?”
“inside.” he had to stop for a second to keep from cumming that second. “sh-shit i almost came.” he moaned. “you want me to cum inside you?” you nodded. “ye-yes please.” he sped up his movements. “fu-fuck im gonna cum , want you to cum on my cock.” both of you moaning out. “fuck cum , cum on my cock.”
you let out a breathy moan , mouth dropping over as you came. “of fuck , im fuck-fucking cumming, nmph!” he cursed as he came inside you , you whimpered as he rode out your orgasms. “fuck im still hard.” he said breathlessly. “i need more of you.” he started to move again , slowly dragging his cock in and out of you. “fuck i need to make you cum more.”
“i need to fuck you until you only remember my cock.”

i have been holding space for the Agatha finale (i’m in queer media) and am pleased to report that my feelings about it have shifted quite significantly. follow me, my friends, to a more or less coherent, very long text post at the end
primary thing: this show is very much about motherhood. idk why that didn’t totally register for me in the first half given how often they mentioned Nicky, but realizing this changed my analysis a ton. Billy doesn’t just remind Agatha of Nicky — Agatha loves Billy like a son. (i know “like a son” is an oversimplification, but I’m sticking with it for this post.)
with that, my thoughts on Agatha’s arc almost completely flipped. when Rio shows up in E8 and says she has to take Billy, Agatha is revisiting her deepest wound all over again. her reaction is harsh, but it’s not some long-simmering revenge plan or a calculated effort to hurt Rio. Agatha is literally just reacting to the fact that, after all of the almost-reconciliation, the love of her life is taking her son again. i think she was trying to get Rio to fight for her or to say the trade was too high a price and bend the rules. Agatha was trying to get Death to act only as her lover, and looks devastated when Rio actually walks away instead.
and so, when Agatha goes to the morgue trial and says that “sometimes, boys die,” she’s continuing that realization that Rio isn’t personally chasing her down and causing her grief. sometimes, death just… happens. and “out of Death, life” is largely about Agatha realizing that Rio did bend the rules for Nicky, but also doubles down on the Nicky and Billy parallels. both of Agatha’s sons were literally borne of Death and living on stolen time. loss is inevitable.
i think Agatha genuinely believed that Rio could have kept Nicky alive and chose not to. we know that Agatha blamed herself for Nicky dying (“the truth is too awful”). so Agatha, who was taught by her own mother that nobody would ever actually love her for who she is, probably thought that the love of her life just… didn’t love her as much as she thought she did. going back to E1, i think “you don’t have a heart” is equal parts about Nicky as it is about Agatha herself. her main takeaway is that everyone will betray her, even when they claim to love her, and so she hides behind power and a god awful reputation so that she can keep everyone at arm’s length and never get hurt again.
ALL OF THIS IS TO SAY: when Billy is about to die, Agatha almost retreats back into the version of herself she became after Nicky died, but she doesn’t. she turns around and faces the pain head-on.
and I want to take a second to appreciate how immensely hard that would be. Agatha spent centuries killing people so she could be powerful enough to stay numb. Agatha spent all of that time pushing away the love of her life, who still loves her, who still sees her fully, and who Agatha is clearly still desperate to return to. Agatha realizes, probably to absurd amounts of despair, that she was wrong about all of it. and she still turns around.
it’s not about Agatha randomly sacrificing herself for a last minute villain kind-of-redemption. it’s about Agatha breaking the cycle she’s trapped herself in for an unfathomably long time, admitting that she knows Rio couldn’t change the outcome, and acknowledging that, yeah, she actually does love this kid.
and honestly?? i don’t think Agatha becoming a ghost counts as killing her. she’s literally still around, doing stuff, picking up brooches (👀 Rio wya), and getting a second chance at… not motherhood, exactly, but caring for a child. (and a queer child! and the idea of Agatha, who has been queer since the *1600s*, getting to tell this gay kid over and over again that there’s nothing innately wrong with him makes me actually sob.)
HOWEVER! i maintain some criticisms. i think Jen deserved to have an actual fight with the doctor who bound her. (the oops! it was Agatha All Along twist was… complicated. i have mixed feelings. essay for another day, but i wanted Jen to have rage time that everyone was just cheering for.)
i needed Death lore. how is she physically with Agatha so often if, as Agatha states, 120 people die every minute? is she Death the cosmic entity, or are green witches sort of responsible for decay on earth?
some of the plot elements were severely under-developed, and frustratingly, the vast majority of the underdeveloped plotlines had to do with Agatha/Rio’s romantic relationship, Agatha’s mother, and Agatha’s reasons for killing people. (the fact that they said she’s a siphon in interviews and not once on the show will never stop baffling me lmao.) i find it very frustrating that a LARGE chunk of the underdeveloped stuff relates back to Agatha’s queerness in some way.
however… i am willing to be generous about some of that, because i find it difficult to believe that this *extremely queer* creative team actually just disregarded major queer plot elements. i am far more inclined to believe that they were operating under a hostile corporation and pushing as far as they could, and in that case, they did a fucking phenomenal job.
i genuinely think that the way they landed the show opens the door for them to… dare I say it? … give Agatha/Rio a happy ending?? ghost Agatha literally need only show up to Rio’s house or cave or dimension or whatever and be like “heyyyyy, yeah that kiss was forgiveness and also i’m solid enough to use my hands now” and it would be believable. the fact that it would take them only 15 seconds to give us two fucked up lesbians having their version of happily ever after is actually pretty cool
anyway, this is an abridged summary of how my feelings abt the Agatha All Along finale went from like a 4/10 rating to an 8/10.

You know something I enjoy about Skywarp's teleportation across different continuities is that it's rarely the same. The mechanics of his teleportation vary in nearly every continuity, and there are different limits to how it works. In G1, for example, it’s portrayed as a sharp purple flash, accompanied by a distortion of time and space, as Skywarp is able to teleport in an instant. Kind of confused why he doesn't use it that much.
Tumblr media
The same appears to be the case in both IDW1 and Shattered glass.
In IDW2 it does appear to seem as though Skywarp can create portals to facilitate his teleportation, though this doesn't appear to be a necessity, as he can simply warp without forming a portal. In this continuity, his teleportation is depicted with a golden hue, and it leaves behind a trail of what looks like mystical smoke (or something similar) as he disappears. I kind of like how much he uses his teleportation in this continuity to be a menace not gonna lie.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In Skybound, Skywarp only uses his teleportation once, but it’s a pretty cool twist. Instead of just teleporting to another spot, he creates these mini portals or disks that stay in place. He then reaches through them to mess with Optimus. The teleportation has a green hue here, which makes for a pretty neat iteration of his powers because imagine if he can use it to just steal important weapons or stuff like that without even trying to move. On paper it's less riskier than actually teleporting there himself. And funnier ngl.
Tumblr media
Then there’s Earthspark, where his- or her teleportation is really something..... In this version, her teleportation is ridiculously fast, almost like lightning itself. The whole thing happens so quickly that it looks like she literally transforms into lightning, streaking across the space with this red glow. It’s almost like she’s not even teleporting in the traditional sense; she’s just zipping through reality so fast that she becomes a bolt of lightning, visually it looks pretty great.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But at the same time something I love about giving a charecter a pretty overpowered ability like this is as usual it usually comes with a fair share of drawbacks. Or rules that pertain how it functions.
In the Aligned Continuity, or the pre canon TFP novels, Skywarp’s teleportation has this limitation. He has to plan out his destination at least five seconds before jumping, or else he could end up teleporting somewhere completely random, which could be pretty disastrous according to him. Starscream took advantage of this weakness to set him up,which ended up getting him killed. This version of Skywarp’s ability really relies on him being able to think ahead and stay grounded, because if he tries to teleport on the fly, he’s basically gambling with his own life
Tumblr media
However, other continuities don’t seem to have this same limitation. For instance, in Earthspark, Skywarp is shown teleporting randomly to different locations within the span of just a second. Her limitation in this version, though, is that she can’t warp through solid objects, which means if she's trapped in a room with no way out—she’s effectively cornered.
Tumblr media
Then there's IDW1 Skywarp—though I wouldn’t really call this a limitation- as this happened due to an incident rather than it always being inherently present, but when he gets stabbed by Arcee during a jump, he loses control over his physical form. He essentially becomes incorporeal, existing almost like a ghost, and has to struggle to keep himself anchored in reality. Messing with space time kind of does that I suppose.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
IDW2 Skywarp went through something somewhat similar. He attempted to teleport all the way to Cybertron after he was banished, but ended up getting caught in unspace, where he was trapped for thousands of years. He eventually managed to latch onto Jumpstream and escape, only to be thrown right back into unspace in the end, low-key karma since he was pretty much just changing allegiances on merry whim just to have fun(valid), but also sucks for him. Honestly, a miracle he didn't completely lose his mind after all that time alone- then again he probably did. Unspace was to my knowledge mostly accessible by teleporters such as Skywarp and Jumpstream in this continuity.
So, the moral of the story is—teleportation is fun, but also kind of sucks, at least for Skywarp. Seriously, why are G1 and Earthspark the only shows where he actually gets to teleport? It’s literally in his name—just let him teleport already, I beg of you!

Salve!:D. I'm curious on how the vice-dormleaders would react(hc) if their S/O being like Silver. Not in a literal sense but in a "Always sleepy/sleeps in random places" sense. It would also be pretty funny if their S/O still aces their academics HAHA( ̄▽ ̄)~*
omg!! YES!!!
Vice Dormleaders x Silver-like!Reader
Trey Clover
He's a little worried... Like do you get enough sleep?
Are classes too stressful?
Trey finds it cute if you fall asleep on his shoulder while studying or having afternoon tea. He'd chuckle and give a "Is my shoulder that comfortable?" line as soon as you wake up.
Yes, you've heard it hundreds of times.
Trey kind of insists on studying with you, he (wrongly) thinks you might fall behind due to all the napping you do.
of course these study sessions are comfortable for you so you're usually lulled asleep by his voice
So imagine his suprise when he asks you about your text scores.
He's here, all ready to console you with your favorite tart, arms open to prepare to be a good boyfriend and hug you when youre sad
Only to be met with "Oh the midterm..? I aced it, why?"
HUH???
WHAT???
You share the tart, he laments...
He likes to suprise you with little treats every now and again, he buys special little boxes to put them in all the time too.
one day, he happened upon you sleeping underneath the table in your dorm (he knows where to look at this point).
You woke up with a light weight on your chest, It was a small green box with a letter attached to it:
"A sweet treat after your sweet dreams,
XOXO
- Trey Clover
Jade Leech
"Oh? How interesting..."
Jade is a little weirdo, so I think this unique trait of yours REALLY facinates him!
He kind of develops a sixth sense for your eepiness. Like he'll be in a middle of a shift and just randomly take a break, just to be there for you when you wake up.
Jade BEGS you to try a bunch of (non poisonous) mushrooms to see if they make your drowsiness worse or better
"Would you not consider it at leas.." "No." "please.." "Just once.."
He's really convincing (6'5 and in a suit).
If you fall asleep in the monstro lounge he is NOT stopping Floyd from doodling on your face
He isnt too suprised by your competency with grades, but then again he lives with Floyd, its kind of hard to suprise him.
He still rewards you with a lil kiss on the forehead
Jade LOVES when you fall asleep on him, it lets him know you feel safe around him!! He keeps a pleased smile on his face when youre near him and sleepy in any capacity.
He wants to go on hikes with you SO BADLY.
You agree one day, it kind of ends with you being carried when you eventually fall asleep on a particularly warm rock.
"Whatever will I do with you, Angelfish..."
-Said while lovingly scooping you up
Jamil Viper
Sigh...
How you two got together is a mystery
But he feels a bit calmer with you around.
He's pretty busy with Kalim, so a lot of time spent together is during school, school activities, and while he's cooking.
Jamil gets a little anxious when youre out of sights. like... what if you're sleeping somewhere dangerous, or you suddently decided to persue mountain climbing?
You go to a lot of his basketball practices, he claims he plays a little better when youre around anyway, even if you fall asleep in the middle fo the game
Stops both Ace AND Floyd from doodling on your face during practices.
Now, as for grades. He isnt too worried about you, he's got kalim to deal with an an exam to underperform on.
After midterms, he does ask about how you did (as seems to be customary)
"I did pretty well... got a 98" "You what"-
He's...pleaseantly suprised! one less thing to worry about (despite that not being his responsibility)
Jamil likes cooking spicier and spicier food for you, both to see if you can handle it (he's a little competitive), and to wake ypu up a lil <3
He presses a kiss to your cheek for every "level" you complete
"What do you think, Flower?... ah, you fell asleep"
Rook Hunt
I'm sorry.... he's a little weird about it.
He has a LOT of pictures of you sleeping in odd places
Rook's favorite is his homescreen on his phone, it's you sleeping in an impossibly high tree kind of just.. hanging there. Its in super high quality though.
He likes leaving little notes about how cute you look while sleeping around
its like a little gift for when you wake up!!!
When he isnt watch you sleep he keeps a bottle of water and some fruit snacks to munch on. Sleeping this often must be tiring after all, you need your energy!
You know you can call for him just as easily as Vil can (if not easier... you bagged a SIMP)
So, sometimes you jokingly put a hand to your forehead and Rook comes SPRINTING.
His arms are outstretched ready to catch you into a fall and dip you into a kiss
Sometimes though, it is not a joke, and Rook dutifully scoops you up before you make eye contact with him.
It's Rook, so he kind of knew about your good grades already, but every time you tell him he gives you a little "Magnifique~" and kisses your knuckles.
Your dates are very odd. one week it'll be a romantic picnic he preapred for you, the next you're hunting for Leonas together, and after that? movie night!
"Ah~ how delightful it must be to be graced with your beautiful viasge. How I long to be the lone tree stump that captured your affections so.
<3
-Rook Hunt"
Lilia Vanrouge
Another one of them "ara ara?? how interesting" types
He's a father, whose had practice with Silver
Lilia always encourages you to do your best, he usually knows when to stop pushing you to study or focus by looking into your eyes.
He's huge on affections (touch starved Lilia HC my beloved), so Lilia sometimes conveniently floats on by if you start to get drowsy.
He would rather stroke your hair to sleep over you resting on the uncomfortable wooden desks
Also kind of a weirdo who isnt tooo suprised about your high grades. He kind of assumed you were studying in your free time without him.
However, that does not mean he doesnt want to reward your great scores!! He'll cook for you :)
"I was thinking of making a lovely lasagna, with some cinnamon and jalapeño for color.... oh dear, you seem to have fallen asleep."
"honk shmimimimimim" -you, clearly faking it
He always feigns hurt when you reject his cooking, but he knows of his reputation in the kitchen.
Lilia often takes you to new places, usually museums, but sometimes your dates are in a forest he recently discovered within Diasomnia's grounds. like a goth picnic
He has a photo album of your dates together, although he has a page or two dedicated to his favorite spots you've napped on.
Lils is super accomodating, as long as you dont mind his suprise hugs and some light jumpscaring
"Haha got you, little bat!"
-Lilia, after successfully scaring the HELL out of you

SLYTHERIN BOYS WHEN IN LOVE headcanons
including: mattheo, blaise, tom, draco, theo and enzo.
Tumblr media
MATTHEO RIDDLE:
-charming and flirtatious: this boy is VERY good with his words and he knows how to make you feel seen and heard.
-affectionate in private: in public, the most yous will do is hold hands and maybe a rare kiss STRICTLY on the forehead because it may ruin his ‘fierce’ image, but in private he cannot keep his hands off of you.
-romantic gestures: although he wouldnt be the PDA type of guy, he always buys you flowers, writes letters to you and showers you in attention “just because”
-physical affection: mattheo secretly loves when you play with his hair, cuddle him, hold his hand and scratch his back and although he would never tell you, but he finds ANY excuse to touch you when nobody looks— a hand on your thigh, on your back and even on your arm he loves it when you get close to him
-deep conversations: mattheo loves the midnight deep conversations yous have— even if he falls asleep during them sometimes.. but he values every part of it and likes listening to how you feel.
-the little things: mattheo will remember the little things, your favourite book, your favourite drink, even your favourite hairstyle and he will make sure your always taken care of.
-REALLY jealous: mattheo can get really jealous sometimes which may cause arguments and a hard time in the relationship, if he senses another person getting close to his partner, he will make his dissatisfaction clear, even if it’s passive-aggressive comments like, “so you were with him today? Interesting.”
-isolation: if he finds that you become distant or dont show as much attention he WILL isolate himself until you notice just so that youll start paying more attention to him— and if you decide to ignore it he will say stuff like “do you still love me?”
-pet names: darling, love, angel, sweetheart and princess
BLAISE ZABINI
-stability and consistency: blaise does NOT play mind games, what you see is what you get he will not switchup randomly.
-quiet gestures of aftection: while hes not loud about how much he loves you, you can tell specially when he makes food for you, leaves little notes, inside jokes or even your favourite drink when he knows your busy.
-loves spending time: blaise LOVES spending time with you, specially when you dont expect it, he loves suprising you by taking you to your favourite shops/ restaurants or even just to stargaze.
-respect for boundaries: blaise is patient, which means he understands emotional closeness takes time and hes willing to wait, he will never push you to hurryup and figure things out. he gently assures you that hes not going anywhere and offers warmth and consistency
-physical affection; he is OBSESSED with you and not afraid to show it! he will kiss you infront of everyone (obviously no tongue) and he will always somehow touch you no matter who sees or hold your hand.
-passive agressive behaviours; although yous always spend time together when you dont have the time for it last minute he would often drop something like “i guess your getting to busy for me, its fine, im use to it” just to make you feel bad for it.
-unresolved issues with silence: sometimes, when blaise gets angry at you he will go silent, he will still hold your hand, kiss you, cuddle you, but he wont talk to you— sometimes you may not even know that youve done something and when you keep pushing he will say “im fine, dont worry about it.” and continue ignoring you.
-pet names: princess, beautiful, my love, babe and my soulmate.
TOM RIDDLE
-intensity: toms love is all-consuming and manipulative, often disguised as care or concern. he believes in control, so his affection is about ownership and power rather than pure emotion.
-protective: tom sees you as someone he NEEDS to protect from everything; although it comes with one condition— you have to be his and only his, his magical intelligence will always make you feel safe to and all of his followers will be forced to take care of him.
-romantic obsession: his love isint affection, its obsession. the moment he first saw you, he immediately became fixated on you. not in an unhealthy way of course— but a way where you have his attention almost all the time, when he loves he will make sure you know it.
-affection: although he may not show a lot of affection, but he will in his own ways whether its brushing a strand of hair off your face or even making sure you eat.
-makes you feel special— then takes it away: toms charm lies in his ability to make you feel you’re the only person who truly matters to him, but it comes with a catch— he will remind you that his love IS conditional by saying things like: “I could have anyone I want, but I chose you—don’t make me regret it.”
-isolates you: tom doesnt believe that anyone deserves your attention but him, and he will create dependency by doing things like “you dont need anyone else, im all youll ever need.” or “theyre only jealous because you have me.”
-unpredictable: his love is very unpredictable, one day he could shower you in praise but the next day he could completely turn off and ignore you.
-pet names: little one, darling, my dove, pet, pretty thing.
DRACO MALFOY
-overthinking everything: draco would overanalyze every little interaction, worrying about saying the wrong thing or appearing too eager.
-showing off: Draco would subtly (or not so subtly) flaunt his skills, wealth, or intelligence to impress the person he likes.
-devoted partner: once draco commits, he’s fiercely loyal and protective. he would always ensure his partner feels valued and cared for, though he might not always express it perfectly.
-acts of service: He’d go out of his way to handle small tasks or challenges for his partner, though he’d play it off as “no big deal.”
-vulnerability in private: draco would open up emotionally only in the safety of private moments with his partner, letting his partner see his insecurities and fears.
-protective streak: even during fights, draco wouldn’t let ANYONE else disrespect his partner.
-sparring with Insults: arguments would escalate quickly, with draco resorting to insults rather than listening. He’d use personal insecurities against them, making the partner feel small and unworthy.
-insecure praise: draco might constantly need validation from his partner to feel secure, and if he doesn’t get it, he would lash out or act distant, forcing his partner to reassure him repeatedly.
-pet names: pretty girl, love, sweetheart and princess.
THEODORE NOTT
-slowburn romance: theodore is not one to fall head over heels quickly. he believes in taking time to truly understand someone before becoming emotionally involved.
-softness behind closed doors: In private, theodore is much softer with his partner. He may not be the type to shout his affection from the rooftops, but when it’s just the two of them, he’s more open and vulnerable.
-respect for his partners boundaries: theodore is deeply respectful of his partner’s boundaries and independence. he understands the importance of personal space and will not push for anything his partner isn’t ready for.
-loves the quiet moments; whether its sitting together during study sessions, walking side by side in comfortable silence, or sharing a simple meal, its these small, intimate experiences that make him feel closest to his partner.
-jealousy and protective; theodores jealousy can be subtle but toxic. he may not express it openly, but his behavior could become possessive—monitoring his partner’s actions, questioning their interactions with others, or subtly undermining their relationships.
-withholds affection: he might withhold affection or attention as a form of punishment. Instead of addressing the issue, he could give his partner the cold shoulder or refuse to engage emotionally,
-reluctance to apologise: theodore might struggle to offer sincere apologies, instead offering vague or insincere ones.
-pet names: love, trouble, darling, heart, bella, amore eterno, cielo mio
LORENZO BERKSHIRE
-gestures over words: rather than grand declarations of love, he expresses his feelings through subtle gestures—small acts of kindness, making sure the other person has everything they need, or staying by their side during difficult moments.
-intellectual bond: as a lover, he enjoys deep, meaningful conversations and values intelligence in his partner. hes attracted to someone who can challenge him mentally, and he enjoys discussing books, history, or magic with them.
-physical touch: though not overly touchy, lorenzo expresses affection through small physical gestures—brushing his partner’s hand, a reassuring touch on the shoulder, or pulling them into a brief but meaningful hug.
-romantic, in his own way: though not overly flamboyant, he does have a romantic side. he enjoys quiet moments with his partner, like watching a sunset together or sharing a cup of tea after a long day, creating an intimate, peaceful space where love can quietly grow.
-silent treatment: as much as he prefers gestures over words, he WILL give you silent treatment because he knows how much itll hurt.
-threatening to harm others: im moments of extreme jealousy or frustration, lorenzo may threaten harm or lash out at others in front of his partner as a way to keep his partner in line or force them to feel responsible for his actions.
-pet names: angel, my muse, love, princess, and doll.

Stolas, Yuno Gasai, and Delusional Attachments
Tumblr media
Introduction
*awkwardly taps mic*
Heeeyyyy everyone. Apologies for not being online in a while. I know I have been rather slow with this next essay, but in my defense I have been very embarrassed with the direction I want to take it. So I beg everyone to listen before judging me for making a connection between Yuno Gasai and Stolas. PLEASE HEAR ME OUT I PROMISE I AM SMART!
*ahem*
Trigger Warnings: Mentions of abuse, Yanderes, Mentions of Svicide
Major Warning: Mirai Nikki/Future Diary is an intense anime. I watched it WAY to young and therefore feel a need to tell you all the anime has graphic violence, nvdity, and major character death. Only people 18+ should be viewing it and even then please check the tags on My Anime List.
Moving on I will be discussing the delusional attatchments Stolas has through the lens of my top kin, Yuno Gasai. (I'm not being edgy, I just have abandonment issues, please hear me out, I am smart)
Tumblr media
For anyone new to who Yuno Gasai is, she is a yandere (AGAIN HEAR MY ASS OUT BEFORE YA'LL GO, SIT YOUR ASS DOWN AND STOP SCROLLING). Yuno's story revolves around her being unable to cope with the abuse she struggles with.
As a child Yuno had parents who were both incredibly abusive to her. Anytime Yuno misbehaved or wasn't perfect she was locked in a dog kennel and starved. In an alternate timeline we learn the starvation is so bad that she starts eating the tatami mats on the floor.
Yuno due to her abuse randomly attaches herself to Yuki, hanging onto a promise that he'll marry her. Yuki was clearly joking with her, but Yuno clings to that promise in the future, to the point she is willing to take out anyone and everyone or destroy whole timelines to be with him.
Yuno's attachment to Yuki is sort of random, but means so much to her that she is willing to go through hellfire and brimstone to get him even if it means retraumatizing herself over and over again.
Question 1: How does Yuno relate to Stolas?
Tumblr media
As a child, we know Stolas struggles in a world that doesn't care about his free will. He has no parental support. His life has been decided for him and there is no escape from his fate. His life and story has been written for him with no consent or change of his own.
Stolas doesn't have a choice.
He sees Blitz once, in a sense of perceived freedom and ability to choose his life.
Think of the princesses from Mulan 2. They think the lives of other girls in their country is free and exciting, when actually their fates are sadly so familiar.
Tumblr media
They have this idea of what these girls perceived freedom is like, when most girls in China at that time dealt with similar marital arrangements as the princesses as we see in Mulan 1.
Yuno herself is stuck in a situation where she cannot escape her abusers and imprints her happy ending on Yuki as a mental escape from her situation.
Tumblr media
Yuno becomes desperate to protect her relationship with Yuki, a connection she made by herself. Yuno in the series refers to Yuki as: "It's like I'm trapped in a pit and he's my rope ladder." He's her only hope and way out of her situation. The only solace she has in the terrible world she is in.
For Stolas, Blitz functions in the exact same way. For twenty five years, he dreamt about Blitz. Wanted to be with him. Wanted to be loved by him. Even if all of it was built on a single day of friendship and delusion alone.
However, there is a quote that Yuno says that I believe relates to Stolas and Blitz's dynamic that means a lot to me as a Stolas and Yuno kinnie:
Tumblr media
"I was practically dead, but you gave me a future."
When we meet Stolas, he is incredibly depressed. Socially he is an outcast thanks to Stella's behaviors to ostracize him from everyone else. From what we know the man has no friends outside of his daughter, Vassago, and Blitz.
Tumblr media
His life is constant torment and pain. Everyday is just another day closer to Octavia turning 18 and him finally being able to enact the thoughts he has probably had for years now. Everything in his world was bleak and then...
Tumblr media
BOOM!
Suddenly the world had color again.
And since this exact moment... Stolas had a future. He was practically dead before Blitz came into his life and took him on this world wind tour of the ups and downs of life to be where he is now.
Finding this love in his life again meant finding hope again, learning to love again... learning that the future can truly be bright if he took his fate by the reigns and made his own destiny. That his life did not have to end at being a decent father and husband, but being more.
"Maybe the future is bad. But there is a future beyond that, right?" - Yuno
That sure the future could be awful and he may never fully escape Stella's abuse or his position in society, but there was a future beyond the one that was destined for him.
That no matter how bad things got, the future, the hope for something more managed to sustain and keep Stolas alive. For his future and for Octavia.
Question 2: What does Yuno's Mental State tell us About Stolas?
Tumblr media
If you have stuck around till Question 2 I am truly grateful. I know this essay is a tad convoluted, but I truly thank you.
Moving on, Yuno's and Yuki's relationship starts as a sort of transaction due to them being in a Hunger Games style battle to become a god. Yuno is good at killing, and Yuki gives her affection. Pretty cut and dry deal.
"I may only be good for killing people, and maybe I am completely unappealing to you, but I thought you will love me when this was all over."
Even if Yuki didn't love Yuno in the moment, she believed that fulfilling any task and duty, being his weapon, that maybe, just maybe he'd love her when everything was over. That when it was all said and done they'd finally become one.
Very similarly, Stolas believed that despite everything being a transaction and work based that maybe, just maybe if he flirted enough or gave into whatever Blitz wanted that maybe, just maybe Blitz would love Stolas.
Both characters believe whole heartedly their worth is in what they can provide instead of who they are. Sadly both characters abusive dynamics instilled this idea in them.
If Yuno was well behaved her parents didn't starve her and they'd love her.
If Stolas was a good husband, Stella might not treat him like shit.
Everything has been transaction based for so long that they don't know how else a relationship is supposed to start. This all seems to be so normal.
Allowing themselves to be used so they can satisfy others.
Question 3: What lengths is Stolas willing to go?
Tumblr media
In Future Diary, Yuno is willing to go through hell and back for Yuki. Her body, life, and choices all working to serve him. May sound a bit fucked, but that's how she feels she can get him to love her. That if she is just good enough then maybe, he'll love her.
Later on, through a couple plot twists, Yuno finally realizes how selfish she is being and ends her life, giving Yuki her place as god and finally resting as a result of years of agony and misery. Not for herself, but for Yuki and Yuki alone.
Stolas while his life may have been bleak, him and Blitz butt heads, and they somewhat broke up after The Full Moon episode, he would willingly, any day of the week put his life on the line for Blitz.
Tumblr media
Over and over he will stoop to his knees to fix the gap between them. No matter how many times he has to kneel for Blitz he'd do it anyway, for him. Because it is Blitz.
It doesn't matter how much pain, hurt, or agony he goes through.
Tumblr media
Even when Prince Charming didn't come to save him at his lowest point.
He never stops being the one solace and hope he has in life.
Tumblr media
That regardless of the past and hurt, Blitz is his rope ladder.
So how can he not take the blame,
put everything on the line,
for the one person he loves most.
Tumblr media
Paint himself as the villain for the sake of the one he loves.
Take the blame where he doesn't have to,
Take a punishment that is beneath him...
Tumblr media
and kneel.
"I will die for Yukki, and even in death I will chase after Yuki."
It doesn't matter what context, what timeline, what world... all that matters is it was Blitz and he needed to be saved.
So he did everything he could to protect him, even if it meant putting his life on the line.
Countless times during Future Diary, even when Yuki fails to protect Yuno, she always sticks beside him no matter what. No matter the problems, no matter how shitty he treats her, that is her man.
Tumblr media
For Stolas, it is the same. Despite the problems, issues, arguments, and poor communication... that's his man. He will stick beside him through hellfire and brimstone.
If anyone has a problem with it?
Tumblr media
Well they have to go through him. And he'll put everything on the line without a second thought.
Tumblr media
Even when he knows he doesn't deserve it...
Tumblr media
When in every context he knows it does not benefit him nor save himself...
Tumblr media
That's the man he loves, and he'll do whatever it takes to protect him every time.
Tumblr media
"Always."
Conclusion

While it may seem unconventional of me to bring a yandere into this entire mess, I wanted to share with you all why I love Stolas so much and what makes him so special to me.
It isn't just about how he loves Blitz, but the lengths and depths he is willing to go for him even when it doesn't serve himself.
When I was young and dealing with the world crashing around me, like Yuno I clung to the idea of a happy ending. This idea that Prince/Princess/Prin Charming would save me from my desperate situation and rescue me.
Anytime I had thought I found that love, I'd protect it to the point it was delusional and I stayed in toxic relationships because it felt like this was the one thing I had that was mines and I'd be damned if I lost it.
Stolas of all characters I've seen was willing to fight for his happiness till the end and didn't care how it would change or uproot his life.
He willingly puts everything on the line regardless of everything and I genuinely feel like it isn't talked about enough.
While this all could be my desperate attempt to make people finally sympathize by putting people into my perspective as a Stolas kin- I just- can't help but feel like this is something consistently left out.
The amount of effort this man puts into this relationship is consistently left out the conversation.
As someone who is Stolas, who fought through hellfire and brimstone, the abusive and chaotic worlds we inhabit force us to cling to any type of hope we can have. It gives us strength where there is none left. It gives us faith in something.
Stolas while a victim of abuse- is so incredibly strong in his own merit. He's resilient, a fighter, and most importantly full of never-ending love and forgiveness that in his situation and background should not be likely.
He came out of his situation stronger because of it.

We had a small conversation in a comment section that inspired this entire essay and when they said "People also fear to realise, a victim of abuse 100% latches onto a person who finally gives them some meaning/compliment/love, he latches onto Blitz because of his trauma and when he's with him he feels better 'your my light'" It really hit me like a truck and made me remember how I am. So thank you again! As I promised, I wanted to credit you and I didn't want to forget!

Without Barriers — e42!Miles x Fem!Black!Reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ᴅ☆ᴇ'ꜱ ꜱᴀʏ|
Hi chatt, unuh miss me? 🙂.
Anywho, part 3 of this thing
I been inactive but I swrr it's just school, I been inactive n shit but I still love writing and adore Spider-verse (I'm still hyper fixated. Helpp.)
Also looks like I have part 4&5 to give after I properly proofread, bye lovess
These past few weeks in Earth 42 have been quite eventful to say the least. Not to mention you breaking the promise to yourself that you'll never fall in love with Miles Morales ever again. I mean, it was inevitable really. Who wouldn't fall in love if someone looked at them like that?
Leading up to school Miles got everything in order for you.
Your hair? Who knew your man was a cosmetologist cause he did you right by that electric blue dye
Clothes? Bought and paid in fulll
He made sure you had common knowledge of everything. Places, people, lingo, social norms even drama, he went as far as teaching you basic fighting techniques.
"I know it may hurt tesoro, but you need to learn. I'm not gonna be there every time to save you."
One thing that had you on ice though was when he brought in fake identification with your new credentials that did not look fake at all. Truly, you didn't want to question it, but your face said what your mouth didn't. Now you looked at the papers then at Miles, back and forth, back and forth.
"I know you have questions, just ask" He spoke up, breaking the unneeded awkward silence when he did.
"I didn't even say anything to you" I retorted
"Good"
That came off with more sass than it should've, from both of you at that.
I hate his attitude at times. "Miles, sit down."
He sat himself where he did before, bracing himself deeper into the chair. "My eyes are up here by the way. "
He laughed when I hissed. Yuh bright bad. Slowly the playful air in the room dissipated, a more serious feel emerging. Miles cleared his throat, he was nervous, okayy. I still kicked my feet while being on the bed, waiting patiently for him to start.
"(y/n)" his leg started to bounce involuntarily
My eyes shifted to him, they already were but this time I looked into his eyes. Lord knows I was not the one for eye contact, so I hid the other half of my face with a pillow. Because, I was ready to giggle, and I don't think it was the time for that.
"You, and I know about how I feel about keeping secrets from each other"
My eyebrows furrowed, but it was true though. Miles told me everything he could remember , his allergies, favorites, dislikes, pet peeves. Even the most personal shit like how the house we shared was a piece of land paid in full by his father before he passed— one for him and another for his mamá. Like I said, everything.
And I never judged him for any of it, no reason to, but right now, I am not familiar or comfortable with this tone. I nodded for him to continue, visibly skeptical of what was to come next.
"And I've been giving you the half-assed truth about what I do. My uncle and I, we work fo- with this man. Kingpin, and the shit we do isn't necessarily good either. I fight, steal, hurt people, a bunch of stuff"
Knowing Miles he would've went on with the list trying to "be transparent" . Drawing an inference he stopped noticing my widened eyes , I wasn't shocked at him. No, it was the insane ass plot twist. In the other dimension it was just Aaron and Kingpin, yikes. Miles gave me my look, my look when I'm signaling for questions or something to make a situation less awkward.
"You kill people? "
He nodded
"Often?"
"They must've sent the feds on my ass"
I wasn't pissed, I swear, but the hitched lip and narrowed eyes inflicted a response from him. He relaxed his shoulders , but he still looked perplexed.
"Never have, almost broke the streak after-" I put up a hand in front of him, stopping whatever he was going say next. I do not care about what you do inside that suit, whatever you want handsome.
I stared blankly, randomly looking over at him when I heard his breathing heavy.
"You're not scared of me right?" He stammered a bit, aw
"Do you plan on hurting me?"
"I know you're not stupid" Just cause yah man nuh mean seh yuh fi wicked
I watch him rest his elbows to the edge of his thighs, I copied his hand placements from before, head in palms, a W over my lower features.
He sighed.
"No, never, nunca baby"
"Then there's your answer: no, never, nunca" Nah call yuh baby too much cause yahv mi siddung like yam inna basket.
--------------
Then came the time when your results for Brooklyn Visions were to arrive. Given that they decided to send the letter a mere two days before school opened was criminal. Already anxious, it didn't help that it was one of those days where Miles was absent for almost all 24hrs.
Your stomach flipped on end, contemplating what to do if you didn't get in, what to tell Miles— you couldn't just stay here doing nothing for the whole day, waste style that. The what if's had you on edge, not wanting to open the letter, so—... you didn't.
Waking up from an afternoon nap, you felt disoriented with no remembrance of earlier. Somewhat aware of the time difference of then till now you went downstairs looking for Miles and instead went for the letter. Although a delayed reaction you shrieked at the words in bold : You're Accepted!. The lingering decibels drew Miles down frantically observing that he didn't even take off his left gauntlet. Seeming as though you were safe, he went up after a while then came back down— to shower presumably, he hated having you near him after he's gone out.
"I got in!"
-------- (Skipped a few lines cause I'm lazy)
"Miles, stop kissing my face, you're gonna bring out my cheeks"
Any average person would've, but not Miles— he wasn't average.
"(y/n), can you leave me alone to give my esposa affection in peace?"
" 'Esposa', yeah right" I scoffed, rightful title
“I don't know what's going on in that pretty little head of yours but dios mio, sure isn't working right.”
Removing the arm from around my body, he took his phone from his pocket and placed it blatantly on the armrest of the couch. Securing his hands on my hips he moved me to the kitchen island then on top of the counter. I stayed put like a porcelain doll in showcase— not that I hated getting treated by him the way he did. Elevating himself on his palms he rubbed the sides of our faces together then pushed himself into my neck.
“Miles, are you a dog?”
“Whatever you want me to be”
Laying down on the counter, his head was adjacent to my thigh. Wrapping an arm around the width he dragged me closer, diminishing any little space left between his head and my body. Placing kisses along the length, I tangled a hand into his hair, massaging and drawing patterns into his scalp. After some time my neck and back started to hurt, constantly I began to rub them and groan. Miles noticed from the glances he took every now and then. He mumbled something into my thigh.
“I'm sorry, I didn't hear you”
“Can we stay a bit longer—... please”
I passed him a re-assuring smile. Bringing himself back down he brought a hand of mine with him, toying with it and doing whatever. When I felt it lay flat on his face I assumed he had fallen asleep. Still, my body ached but I didn't want to leave him here by himself.
What could I do without him?
Shit.
After (what I thought were) three quiet yawns later Miles woke up, somewhat. I figured he wasn't fully conscious but enough to piece together the fact that I hadn't left even though I was still hurting. Sitting up, he flexed his wrists, arms, and other limbs, gathering strength before taking me off the counter and placing me on his bed. Instead of the usual hug as our sleeping position, he put a hand on my nape and lower back, kneading away more pain than I were aware of.
"Why didn't you leave?" I wonder
"I would've been bored alone"
"C'mon, you'd be sleeping"
I physically can't nor do I want to sleep without you.
Shaking my head, I held onto his shirt, initiating some type of contact before his hands were free. I looked up at him, completely in disbelief that once again, once more I fell in love with Miles Gonzalo Morales. And he's going to be my doom, I know it
Miless p.o.v
One, I don't think she realizes she said that out loud, and two, you know that feeling when your organs get flushed out and replaced with butterflies? That's basically how I felt. And believe me, half of the time I don't know what to say to her, whatever I say, I just do. She's perfect, mine to ruin, but I don't want to do that, I don't want to hurt her.
She's attached to me— deeply. While that may not be a bad thing, it isn't good either. I've studied (y/n) for a while within us being together, she's the 'i love you so that means I'd die for you' type but I can't let that happen. If anyone's sacrificing themself for the other its me— I wasn't raised otherwise, she hasn't taught me to love otherwise. Crucify me after for leaving my beautiful tesoro on the earth by herself, id deserve it. And I definitely think I'm the only one deserving of her.
Props to the jackass that fumbled, forever grateful to you.
Before I could answer, her hand fell flat against my chest, the warmth of it tugging me into sleep with her.
---------------------------------------------––----------------------------------------------
Waking up, I saw a blue sky instead of the black abyss I was accustomed to . This became a regular thing since I started sleeping with her— physically, not y'know, she says she's not ready for that. Often, I had to push back meetings and missions with my uncle because of it.
Shit, speaking of that, today I intend to ask my uncle for at least 2 months of off jobs, and I know he'll come through, hopefully. School re-opens tomorrow, and while it's my first time back, it'll be her first time ever. I can't nor do I want to miss this for her.
Getting up, (y/n) gripped tightly onto my shirt forcing me to stay down. They were just her reflexes coming into play, but I still complied, waiting until she was comfortable to get up. From what happened I do not want to wake this girl up again. She placed her head onto my leg, be it any other day I would've stayed until she woke up, but if I wanted those months off I'd need to get my phone somewhere in the kitchen.
------------------------------------------(6:37pm)------------------------------------------
With minimal back and forth, Uncle Aaron and I settled on 3months no jobs (he'd cover) with me coming in every Saturday 9-10, am to pm to keep overview on plan Burn Brooklyn. I promise it isn't what it sounds like.
Handing me my bag, he went behind his mini- bar and poured out something— Bailey's probably. Man is addicted to that shit. I understand though, kinda. What a time when he let me go through his cabinets after a fight with (y/n), I was a mess. She called me a hot mess.
Draping an arm around my neck, he noticed that unlike times before, instead of slanting downwards his arm tilted up.
"You're growing up, and fast Miles" Using the strength from his arm he turned us around to face the windows. Sunrises never intrigued me, but the sunsets were something else. He took a small swig at the cup before continuing.
"You're finding love, making it out, doing your best" I noticed hand movements from him at the corner of my eye. Uncle Aaron was crying. Uncle Aaron is crying.
"If I found a piece more of myself in you I'd say that you were just like me when I fell for yo—" He cleared his throat, stopping himself.
"You're not just doing this for us are you, she's involved isn't she"
I wasn't going to lie to Uncle Aaron over a question, I didn't even give him a answer to what he already knows. Despite the constant liquor intake he produced a smooth laugh, his hand repeatedly patting my bag.
"I like her a lot Uncle Aaron"
"Like is a feeble word for what you two have, we're happy to see you like this"
"we?"
"Rio and I"
So it's everybody in our business? Cool
--------------------------
I'd prefer above all things walking beside my love to go home like we usually do, but unfortunately he had to call out of school. Typical, atleast he trusts me enough to walk home by myself, and with what I've learned from him I'm sure to be alright.
"Hand in your pocket hermosa, the watch looks shiny and that's what they like out here"
"Walk only where I showed you, if not the safest area but it's safer"
And he's referring to roads nearby Aaron's house so he's always here and there if I need him. It's ironic that a "criminal" makes the city safer for me and not some superficial superhero.
Sudden thuds draw me back to reality, what the hell? I recognize that thing, it's what I came through— a portal.
Fada God.
Action resumes on the road adjacent to me, an escapee of some sort and someone running after them.
My heart and pace speeds up as I stare through my peripheral at the hero of the encounter. Those where they can peep from buildings, street corners and alleyways at the commotion. It's something no one has ever seen, except for a comics con nerd. I'm not one, but I know exactly who that person is— the figure and combat style is just too familiar.
Fada. God. Not today. Abeg. Please.
"Is that Spiderman? And not just any Spiderman… Is that thee fucking Miles Morales?"
-----------------------------------------
Still re-wrote everything cause life didn't end when Tumblr decided to delete it 🙂.
It's kinda short, but work with it until I can update more tmrw on it 🙂.

was telling my mom how embarrassing it is that max lapped his teammate and how every driver since daniel ricc has sucked, and she asked why red bull/f1 got rid of him … Why Did They? was it just that they thought he wasn't performing well?
an opportunity? to infodump about my special interest? for me??? thank you. you do not need to read this at all - i just got extremely emotional about it. of course, this is my recollection of what happened and why he was dropped. we will likely never know. here follows 1500 words on daniels exit from the sport.
it's 2018 and things in red bull are looking dire. the car they made was extremely unreliable going into 2018, but it was a clear issue that was carried over from 2017 and it only got worse. significantly worse. what a lot of people seem to miss is that in 2018, daniel had something going wrong for him IN EVERY RACE (but spain). be it loss of power or bad strategy or gearbox issues in quali, daniel was absolutely shafted in 2018. there's a good write up about this on reddit. at the same time, it was feeling like........... daniel was no longer the favourite child. like, perhaps, more often than not they were starting to bet on max.
so daniel booked it out of there. to renault and then to mclaren. i'll skip some stuff and get you straight at the scene of the crime.
"why red bull/f1 got rid of him … Why Did They? was it just that they thought he wasn't performing well?" so at the end of his stint with mclaren, daniel was not a hot commodity anymore. sure, he was their first winner in 10 years, but it seemed like he had peaked and that was it, so it was time for him to either go to a below midfield team (haas was extremely interested) or simply wait out the contracts that were up in 2023. daniel picked the option to wait it out and see what opportunities might arise, also taking the made up tHiRd driver title which is hilarious because red bull literally came up with it for him. like they just decided they wanted a third driver in a two driver series. and they had him around alllll the time. he wasnt a driver but they were like "thank you max and daniel. also present: checo", it was obviously going to lead into something RIGHT
and lead it did, into a test for red bull and pirelli, at silverstone. and would you believe it, this man did not randomly forget how to drive. they put him in the rb19, which was so good, and he was so familiar with it because he was tag teaming the sim with his former race engineer at milton keynes. so they put him in a fast car, that was being developed with his feedback in mind and GUESS WHAT. he was fast as fuck. he was so fast, in fact, that if the pervious weekend he was on the grid, he would literally be next to max. mind you, this is the same car that max was winning nearly every race with; checo, on the other hand, was p15 on that same weekend.
it was obvious, right? that ricciardo is so fast. so red bull, in their infinite wisdom, did the sensible thing and........ stuck him the alpha tauri?? that was so fucking bad it was a miracle it could finish a race weekend.
important, but unmentioned character so far is the ever present sponsor that checo has - mr. carlos slim, a mexican billionaire. checo, of course, being the son of a politican, has a nice sponsor who just so wants to have a mexican driver on grid that he will shell out nearly an infinite amount of money to keep him there. daniel, on the other hand, comes from a middle class working people family that, unfortunately, does not have any billionaire friends.
anyway, what happened next was we all expected that daniel would be in the red bull in 2024, right? of course the alpha stint was to see how he copes with the team, ease him back to work, right? just give him something to ensure red bull's commitment for 2024, right? WRONG daniel was going to drive for vcarb in 2024 haha cool cool cool im being extremely normal about it.
SURELY they wouldn't bring him back for nothing......?
all that follows here is full on gossip and ALLEDGED so take it with a massive grain of salt. we will likely never know.
throughout the year we were hearing rumors that ~sponsors were told to expect an imminent announcement~, that ~vcarb was told to expect a mid season swap~, that ~red bull and daniel's camp were working on marketing and strategy - thats why it was constantly max and daniel in promo for the main team~. everyone was convinced that daniel was coming back, it was not a question of if, but when.
the when, seemingly, was spa. video of daniel talking to mekies and horner leaks. they have a long talk, then daniel smiles and shakes hands with christian, leaving with a massive smile on his face. he has a fine race. then another video hits the timeline - daniel and max leave the track together, one carrying a bottle of wine, the other carrying both their helmets. believe it or not, a THIRD video hits the timeline, this time posted by max verstappen himself, a man who notoriously does not run his instagram, of them in a helicopter all smiles and thumb ups. marko is saying "we will be looking into our driver line up next week" post race in media. all seems poised to happen in the next few days, right? rumours are swirling that the verstappen camp is fully expecting to have daniel back and are happy about it.
and then it doesn't happen. insiders are absolutely baffled. people who have been hearing rumours for MONTHS are completely flabbergasted why it didn't happen - all signs and leaks were pointing towards daniel, right? except. except.
except.
rumours emerge liam lawson has a clause in his contract that's according to some "use me or lose me" OR guaranteed 6 races this season. which is fine, when you consider that the plan was to use the performance clauses in checo's contract to drop him, move daniel to RB, give liam the vcarb seat for a year/two, give daniel a good final year or two.
suddenly, allegedly some calls are made. some pressure is put on red bull. a certain billionaire wants a mexican driver on the grid. after all, if he brings 30-40 million to the team per year, "then there is no better pay driver in formula 1" :).
daniel does not have a billionaire backing him. daniel does not have 6 races promised to him before the end of the year. daniel does not have honda paying for his seat.
daniel unfortunately only has his pure god given talent and his endless charm. but he does not have the money in a sport that increasingly has stopped caring about racing ability and has moved on towards being pay to play.
the narrative shifts overnight. daniel has not beat yuki convincingly (daniel was averaging p13 to yuki's p12. to this day no one in vcarb has matched daniel's peaks there). daniel was washed and talentless, he needed to make way for younger, hungrier drivers, like liam lawson, the next max verstappen. he needed to move aside so that people who paid their dues can get their time in the main team before their national sponsor leaves the team fully. marko suddenly starts claiming it was never in the cards.
what ended up transpiring in singapore is one of the most shameful events ive ever seen in my life and everyone involved should be haunted by it until the end of time. daniel arrives all smiles. the rumour mill starts running, set off by ralf. everyone is asking about it. daniel is denying it. everyone else is dancing around the topic. you can tell, in real time, that it's beginning to dawn on daniel that this might be it over the weekend. max glues himself to daniel in a show of clear support. blake the manager is seen running around the paddock on sunday.
daniel gets in the car. he has an abysmal drive due to the car being completely unstable and fully loose on the rear, many people commenting that he is more fighting it than driving it. mind you, this is not the oversteer he prefers - this is a fairly balanced car that has a set up so bad the rear end looseness is not controllable. he also has another abysmal strategy, which was a reoccurring theme during his time at vcarb. he was always put on the worse strategy. he got undercut, stuck in traffic and chewed his tyres. on the last lap, he pits for fastest lap and sets the lap record for the track. he exits the car and an honor guard welcomes him to vcarb hospitality, organized by meikes.
according to reuters, horner informs daniel in there that he is likely jobless by the time he leaves.
daniel ricciardo left the paddock at 1:46 am. he has not been on an f1 track since.

Honestly I think Bad and the Late Night Trio is my favorite dynamic that's come out of the QSMP.
And I'm not just talking about qBad, Dapper, Pomme and Richas I'm also talking about ccBad, Dappmin, Pommin and Ricardão.
It's just the little things they do, because they're just so used to each other by now and the adms have become such good friends because of the amount of time they spend together on and off the server.
There's just so many examples that stick in my head because they're just so sweet when you realize that none of this people knew each other this time last year.
Like the time when Richas just showed up in front of Bad randomly one day after the reset (the day that Dapper set up the magnet mining machine) and just went;
"Dapper told me through the magic of discord to come see the cool stuff you've been doing, what am I here to see tio?"
Or when Bad and Dapper were out investigating and Dapper puts down a sign saying;
"Richas won't stop telepathically asking if he can come visit."
To which Bad just offhandedly replies
"If he can Dragon Magic his way here then sure, but I am not walking all the way home already."
And sure enough, a few minutes later we hear Richas' horn sound out as he appears out of the blue, having finally been given permission by Dappmin to join their exploration
Not to mention the amount of times we've arrived and been told by Bad; "So heres what [Richas or Pomme or Dapper or any combination of those 3] and I did off stream. "
Or "No Richas I'm not leaving I'm just sending the Ghosties off."
Or when Bad was attempting to figure out how to bribe Richas into keeping his armour on in Lucky Ducks by figuring out what he loved the most before going
"If you don't put your armour on I'll take away fofoca time."
And then explained to the chat that 'fofoca time' is what Richas calls it when he and Bad hang out after stream and that got Richas to put his armour on immediately.
Or even today when Bad threatened to end stream in order to make Richas use a heart container.
Not to mention the night Pommin and Ricardão spent with ccBad training him in battleship before that day in Purgatory 2 or the night they spent modifying the egg signs together.
My favorite example of how close they are even outside of their characters will still forever be the night when Bad, Richas and Pomme were collecting ice together to cover the favela ocean and Ricardão and Pommin were very obviously sat in a vc together while the mined.
They spent a while teaching Bad and the other how to pronounce certain sounds in their native languages.
Then Richarlyson asked Bad about a sound he struggled with in English so Bad taught Ricardão how to make the 'th' sound in the English language correctly while Pommin judged the noise they were making because Bad obviously couldn't hear.
Then later Bad asks Pomme where Richas went since he wasn't visible on the map and she just stands there before telling him that she knows the location and taking him to the exact coordinates.
And they do that a couple times until Bad finally decides to sneak up on Richas and scares Ricardão so bad that he stops moving completely in game for a solid minute and Pommin is just keyboard smashing on signs because she's laughing too hard at how loudly they screamed.
And then Ricardão had to go afk for a couple minutes later on because someone had come to check on them since they'd screamed so loud so early in the morning and they had to tell them that they were, in fact, fine.
Sure right now the way they interact with each other definitely slightly breaks Bad's rp of not knowing each other, especially with Richas.
But at the end of the day when they hang out together it's not just qBad and Richarlyson, it's also Ricardão & ccBad who have spent a frankly ridiculous amount of hours playing together in the less than a year they've known each other (not counting the time Ricardão admitted to being a fan of BBH for).
In fact Ricardão confirmed to Foolish today that since the reset they're the player with the second highest playtime, after Bad, but only by a little bit, and I just think that's very fitting.
Long story short, I LOVE the late night trio and Bad's dynamic because they're just such a chaotic mess who are all willing to do anything and everything that one of them wants to do, no matter how ridiculous it sounds.
It's soooooooo hard to believe they've not even known each other for a year yet because they just all click so fucking well that it's insane.
People from 4 different nationalities, 3 of them playing speechless eggs, and they've become so close thanks to this server. I just think it's beautiful :')
(It is also 3am so I may just be rambling nonsense, so if this makes no sense forgive me xD)
