Cameron and Kay at any point, really:

[incorrectdeceptionquotes]

Dina: [Watching Ratatouille] I'm just trying to teach myself how to cook a gourmet meal in, you know, 76 hours.

Kay: By watching an animated rat? That's like learning how to swim by watching Spongebob.

[incorrectdeceptionquotes]

Someone tell me why I have an urge to rewrite "A Bundle of Secrets"... again... but finish it this time lol

[incorrectdeceptionquotes]

Kay: Marriage takes hard work... but it is work that is worth it.

Cameron: Our marriage is not hard work.

Kay: You are wearisome tonight.

[incorrectdeceptionquotes]

Jonathan: [To Cameron and Kay] I do not wish to unburden myself to you two, with your perfect marriage

Kay: Oh. You think our marriage is perfect?

Cameron: [Slightly panicked] Is it not?

4am random thought here...

Did anyone else watch the OG Monster High? If so, stay with me here...

Doesn't the song "It Can't Be Over" from the "Boo York" special give such finale Kaymeron vibes? ...or do I just really need to go to sleep?

Like if you haven't listened to it in a while... take another listen and tell me I'm wrong!

Hi.

So I just wanted to come on here to say something real quick.

I am so grateful and thankful for the people who, at one point or another, followed this blog. I've made some wonderful mutuals and made a couple of lovely friends along the way of just having fun with this blog because I had seen "incorrect quote" blogs since I was in middle school and had always had a blast reading them.

I started this blog when I was 18 and just finishing up my first year of uni, feeling really lost and like I just didn't know where I was going in life, in all honesty, I kinda hated where I was even though I had been accepted into one of the top universities in the world and had already made amazing irl friends. I had no reason to be unhappy, but I wasn't happy with myself, and I felt like I wasn't good enough to be there.

Starting this blog and writing fanfiction for this show helped truly ignite my love for writing and made me think that maybe I might actually be good enough to get through the rest of uni (which I did with top grades lol). It made me more confident in my work as a writer and helped improve my writing because I was always working on it.

I'm 24 now, I graduated from my bachelor's almost two years ago, and I'm currently working on getting my master's degree.

You know, part of me sometimes wishes that I had never even heard of this show because the finale truly has been nagging in the back of my mind since it aired. However, the other part of me is thankful that this was the thing to light that fire and get me to start writing for fun. Even if I look back on the older stuff I've written and wish I had written things differently, I don't regret it because it made the better writer I am now. So I guess the harcore obsession I had with this show at one point eventually paid off, just differently than I thought it would lol

I also want to be clear that this isn't meant to be some sort of tearful goodbye or that I'm signing off from the blog. I'll sometimes post here and there like I do now if something does come to mind to me. I still have a lot of fun with this blog! I just really wanted to come on here and say why I am still here (sometimes) and how much I appreciate all of you (even the silent followers).

Thank you for giving this blog a chance!

Cameron: What am I supposed to do?

Kay: [Frustrated] Cam! Go for a walk or something.

Cameron: By myself?

Kay: Yes!

Cameron: Really? Where?

Kay: Anywhere!

Cameron: Can I go that way?

Kay: Yes.

[Cameron walks away, keeping his eyes on Kay who isn't looking back at him]

Kay: Don't go far!

Cameron: Okay!

[incorrectdeceptionquotes]

I hate to do this to you but...

If Deception had aired in 2023 or 2024, "You Can't Catch Me Now" by Olivia Rodrigo would've been the song in the finale.

Tell me I'm wrong!

[incorrectdeceptionquotes]

Part of me really wants to rewrite my first fic "A Bundle of Secrets" but I just really don't have time right now and honestly, I swear I'm not saying this for attention, I don't know if anyone would want to read it lol

[incorrectdeceptionquotes]

holy sh¡t a Deception fan in the year of our lord 2023?? how does it feel being in a fandom with 4 people in it bestie

Do not cite the deep magic to me, child... I was there when it was written!

[incorrectdeceptionquotes]

“why would you write fics for small, unpopular fandoms? you’re not gonna reach that many hits in fandoms not many people know about” ?? because I’m not writing fics for hits or kudos, I’m writing them for me because these characters are my blorbos and I have so many ideas, so much thoughts about them that my brain might explode if I don’t write them out.

[incorrectdeceptionquotes]

Cameron: So when are you gonna go out with me?

Kay: I don’t know, when are you gonna ask me out?

Cameron: ...

Cameron: Uh...

[Later]

Jonathan: So you just ran away?

Cameron: I didn’t think she was gonna flirt back!

[incorrectdeceptionquotes]

Okay, if no one else is going to say it, I will.

The archive was clearly Cameron's "Mojo-Dojo-Casa-House" and you know I'm right!

[incorrectdeceptionquotes]

Okay very random thought but you know how Cameron and Jonathan were legacies of that super secret society?

Means they probably come from old money of sorts (why their dad was a thief, we'll never know) but I don't know why but imagine if their grandmother was still alive, found out she had grandsons... and that grandmother was played by Julie Andrews.

I don't know how to explain it, but that feels like perfect casting for some reason 😆

[incorrectdeceptionquotes]

One take I’ve seen which sort of annoys me is this idea that if Jonathan really wanted to leave the show after Sebastian died, he could’ve just told Cam so & then he would’ve been free to live his life as he saw fit. Beyond the fact that we know he did tell Cameron he wanted to stop performing, or at least that he voiced some kind of protest about performing certain shows (from the final episode, Transposition), there’s the point that it’s really fucking difficult to say no to the people you care about.

(^ from Transposition, ~38:54)

From this scene alone we know that Cam had to talk Johnny into continuing to perform after their father passed; it’s obvious that Johnny values his freedom, though, so why did he ever agree to it? Primarily, because his brother asked him to, and he loves Cameron more than he wants to be free (this is true, at least, at the beginning of the show). It’s not as simple as just saying “No”. If that’s the line of logic we’re following, then Jonathan can’t carry any blame for asking Dina to retrieve the files that the FBI were hiding — she simply could’ve refused, right? Cameron, at the very least (and I do mean very least, because their father treated him like shit), got to go out and connect with people as himself. Johnny only ever had Cameron, so to deny his brother anything must’ve seemed impossible. I don’t want to start speculating about how that conversation must’ve gone because it’s counterintuitive to the point I’m trying to make, but I just think this idea (that all Jonathan had to do is tell Cameron he didn’t want to perform) is reductive, and also does a massive disservice to the really complex character dynamics at play in the show

[incorrectdeceptionquotes]

Random question: What’s an unpopular opinion or headcanon that you have about Deception?

Oooh an opinion or headcanon that I have?

I'm not sure how unpopular this would be but Jonathan's kind of a d*ck, like you get why he is rough around the edges and he has every right to be angry with life, his father, even a bit at Cameron who got him to continue the hidden twin act and all.

However, unless there is a reason (that we'll never know, we can only theorize), he really didn't need to burn bridges in Cameron's name. Even using Kay and Cameron's relationship against each other, him being angry at Cameron for technically choosing Kay over him (though considering Kay was the first one outside of their family group to believe that Jonathan was innocent and the fact that she puts her career on the line to help them) and him telling Kay that she's not Cameron's type which would have been just a funny moment but then it's almost like it was leading up to him basically making her think Cameron hates her was just plain cruel and I don't know what his end goal would've been with that.

Though it has crossed my mind that maybe he did that because if she thought she and Cameron were on okay terms, she wouldn't stop him from doing anything and maybe he wants Kay to think something isn't right and she'd be able to quickly get Cameron out of prison, which we do know would've been 36 hours later and it was probably thanks to Kay.

In my personal fanfic narrative, I have been able to give Jonathan his redemption arc in a way (though I was 18/19 when I wrote A Bundle of Secrets so I'm not saying it's the best narrative work I've done) but as it stands in canon... yeah, Jonathan's kind of a d*ck.

Oh, also he has no reason to have any beef with Mike considering it's been over a year since he and Dina broke up and the reason they broke up was because Jonathan technically cheated on her with MW which is also a d*ck move!

I clearly still have a lot of feeling about this show and I didn't even realize lol
