{Ogron}: Wizards, our plan to have Duman disguise himself as a stray cat to get near Roxy is our best yet! He’s sure to have the White Circle any day now!

{Gantlos}: It also seems to be our longest plan yet. It’s been two days.

{Ogron}: Dammit, what’s taking him so long?

(In Roxy’s house)

{Duman, getting stroked and petted, purring madly}: Was I supposed to be doing something?

[calissarowan]

{Duman}: Gantlos, how come people wear helmets on motorbikes?

{Gantlos}: Well, because if you fell off a motorbike and you didn’t have a helmet, you could fracture your skull.

{Duman}: If I fell off a motorbike, I’d just turn into a rock troll and I’d be fine.

{Gantlos}: …

{Gantlos}: Okay, let’s go over the concept of ‘people that aren’t you’ again.

[calissarowan]

{Ogron}: The best defence is a good offence.

(Later, in battle against the Winx)

{Duman, to Bloom}: That’s the worst attack spell I’ve ever seen! It sucks!

{Ogron}: …That’s not what I meant.

[calissarowan]

{Ogron}: For the last time, Duman, when I tell you to do something-

{Duman}: I ignore you completely. Glad we understand each other.

[calissarowan]

{Gantlos}: So…you got them to let you go…by annoying them into it?

{Duman}: I have many talents, Gantlos. Irritating people is one of them.

{Gantlos}: Guess you have an ace in the hole then.

{Duman}: And consider it a boyfriend privilege that I never try this on you.

[calissarowan]

(Gantlos and Anagan are about to negotiate with the Winx to get Ogron and Duman back)

{Bloom}: Okay, we’re willing to negotiate.

{Gantlos}: Okay.

{Bloom}: We’ll go a week without using our Believix powers to make people believe in fairies.

{Gantlos}: Alright, that’s…wait, what?

{Bloom}: But only if you take them back right now.

{Anagan}: …What now?

{Bloom}: They’ve been arguing all day. My nerves are shot. I am begging you to take them back.

{Gantlos}: …Sure.

{Bloom}: Oh thank God. *shoves Ogron and Duman back over to Gantlos and Anagan* I’m never doing that again.

{Gantlos}: …What the heck just happened?

{Anagan}: *shrugs*

Dark Past, Bright Future, Insane Present: Chapters Fourteen and Fifteen are up!

I’ve just posted the next two chapters of Dark Past, Bright Future, Insane Present! And to celebrate, here’s a picture of the beach outfit Naomi wears in them!

Thank you to the people that voted for the fic to be updated! Hope you like the update!

{Anagan}: …It’s weirdly quiet without Ogron and Duman here.

{Gantlos}: …Yeah.

{Anagan}: I can hear my thoughts again.

{Gantlos}: Same.

{Anagan}: I forgot how negative a lot of my thoughts were.

{Gantlos}: I think that’s true for most people sometimes.

{Anagan}: Let’s go get Ogron and Duman quickly.

[calissarowan]

Hey, here’s a cute headcanon: when Duman’s sick, I imagine that when he sneezes, he shapeshifts. So he sneezes, and suddenly there’s a cat where he was sitting. And then the cat sneezes and there’s a raven. It’s very irritating for Duman, because it makes getting comfortable almost impossible, since he’s winding up in a different body every five minutes, and it’s pretty unnerving for his friends, since he is not limited to small animals, so they could suddenly be sitting next to a griffin or a lion. And Gantlos does his best to make him feel better, but there isn’t anything he can do to stop him shapeshifting, so he just does what he can to soothe Duman in whatever form he’s in at the given time.

(Flora walks to the cell with food)

{Ogron}: Release us at once!

{Flora}: Um…sorry, but…no…? I made pasta, if that helps?

{Ogron}: No, it does not! The only thing we want is our freedom!

{Duman}: Speak for yourself; I want pasta.

{Ogron}: Duman!

{Duman}: What? Oh, come on. If I missed a meal every time you were stubborn, I wouldn’t have eaten in like five years.

[calissarowan]

(Ogron and Duman have been locked in a magically-warded holding cell by the Winx)

{Ogron, pacing furiously}: Okay, there has to be a way out of here…

{Duman, lying on the bed}: The door. Duh.

{Ogron}: A way out that we can use!

{Duman}: What’s the rush, anyway? Flora said she was gonna make lunch.

{Ogron}: What’s the rush… We are locked in a cell!

{Duman}: A cell with lunch.

{Ogron}: *screams into his hands*

Mercy and Forgiveness

When Bloom saved Gantlos in Episode 25 it was never really explained or expanded upon. They didn’t even arrest him and get answers from Gantlos, they just let him go so he could warn Ogron and Anagan.

I actually wrote a fic where this narrative decision is expanded on and they end up working together to stop Nebula who actually sabotaged the wizards’ trial. And Duman’s alive because he deserves it.

If you guys are interested I could make a separate post.

[calissarowan]

I have a real soft spot for Gantlos getting taken care of, and I thought it’d be really cute to draw this.

Quick headcanon: Gantlos is ridiculously stubborn when he gets sick, and tends to refuse to acknowledge he’s unwell, much to Duman’s chagrin, because all he wants to do is look after his sick boyfriend, and Gantlos is not an easy person to take care of. But when he eventually gives in and goes to bed, Duman will sit with him the whole time, talking and keeping him distracted. Gantlos is often too tired to really partake in conversation, but he’s happy just to listen until he passes out.

[calissarowan]

(Ogron and Duman have just been defeated and captured by the Winx)

{Ogron}: Dammit, Duman! I told you we needed a plan!

{Duman}: We had a plan. Charge in blindly, mess up spectacularly and probably get captured.

{Ogron}: A plan to produce a favourable outcome!

{Duman}: How is your lack of specificity my fault?

[calissarowan]

{Ogron}: Duman, do you know what-

{Duman}: Yes! I do know what! I also know who, where, when and why! I know everything! And as some guy I can’t remember said, ‘knowledge is power’. I have all the knowledge, and thus, all the power! Tremble, world, before Duman the endlessly wise!

{Ogron}: I have equal parts respect and bewilderment for Gantlos.

[calissarowan]

Hey, so, I have a few ongoing stories, and I keep meaning to update them, but I can’t decide which one to focus on first. So, I’m asking for your opinion! Vote for the story you’d like to see get updated next, and I’ll write the next two chapters!

[calissarowan]

{Duman}: Gantlos, do you think we have enough pointless arguments about trivialities?

{Gantlos}: …What?

{Duman}: Well, when I’ve been watching the Winx and their boyfriends, I’ve noticed that they have a lot of pointless arguments. And I’ve noticed that we have none.

{Gantlos}: Duman, I think that’s actually a good thing.

{Duman}: You sure we shouldn’t try anyway? Come on, you say something suspicious and judgemental, and I’ll massively overreact and storm off!

{Gantlos}: Okay, maybe Ogron should get Anagan to spy on the Winx for a bit.
