So, uh, y'all remember when I got an ask about Bernard as a dad?

And I made a post with a bunch of headcanons as the answer?

Uhh...

I sorta...

I did a thing.

[long-live-the-gobop]

Well. I know I'm behind. But I finally listened to "The Best Is Yet To Come".

I don't even know what to say. The tears are still too fresh.

[long-live-the-gobop]

Reblogging because I've been thinking about this story a lot so far in January (probably the result of all those Christmas Odysseys I listened to in December)

Guys, you're not gonna believe this-

After two and a half years.... I finally wrote the next chapter.

[long-live-the-gobop]

Depends on what you're looking for?

Because like, @amerasdreams has a bunch of fanfiction (very Jasonnie), but it's also very mature, and covers some dark topics. It's still good! I read some of it, and it was kinda awesome ngl (and really well written!) Just be aware of what you're reading before you read it, I guess

However, if you want something lighter, I've read some good ones! @mapleink62 had a little AIO fantasy AU series that was cute but also like peacefully mysterious? I don't know, but it was a very specific vibe and I liked it. Also "Four and a Half Hour Adventure" by OnceUponanAusten91, which was kind of a blast (Bernard and Eugene's stop at Disneyland!). Also? "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by MozzarellaSticks?? Like, I don't even ship Jillison, but this was a good fic. Unironically this was a good fic.

There might be a few on fanfiction.net too, but I haven't checked back on that in a while. I remember there was one related to both Castles and Cauldrons and Whit's WW2 history, which was pretty cool, but I don't remember much about it.

Also, I write AIO fanfiction! A lot of it is connected to Bernard, and some of it is old and lame, but I wrote 17k of a Novacom AU, plus a Blackgaard brothers as teens fic and some fun crossovers, so hopefully some of it still holds up 😁 (my AIO pseud is here)

Can someone please recommend me some aio fics, I'm starving for new content 🙏

I don't understand any of this, but that just makes it funnier

Okay but like, I know Bernard and Dent were in like two scenes together in one (1) single episode out of a literal thousand, but I had to figure out what came of those small interactions for a scene in my AU and accidentally got super invested in that relationship, they are FRIENDS now

one of my favorite stupid things to do in fanfic is to throw two characters together who literally never interact. and then give them an entire, fleshed-out relationship dynamic that exists nowhere but my own head. yes they’ve literally never spoken. yes their relationship is important to me. hope this helps.

Well, Odyssey already seems to be making it big in my brain in the new year.

[long-live-the-gobop]

Gives me vibes of a Meltsner family New Years Eve

2025 is a good number, it’s a quarter of the way through the 20 hundreds and it’s got that nice set of 2s separated by only a 0. not bad. whatever happens this year at least it’ll be happening during a good number 😌

Notebook sketch of Eugene and Bernard in winter getups. Eugene's is based on the design from the cartoon, but I made up Bernard's.

[long-live-the-gobop]

Said it before, I'll say it again: "Last in a Long Line" should be included in the Christmas episodes. Listened to it today right after "Peace on Earth", and JUST. It works, guys.

When you grew up on AIO and realize you got married before Connie Kendall did

[long-live-the-gobop]

I've never met anyone else who likes Adventures In Odyessy besides the family who introduced me to it and you would not believe the squeal I (Squelmt?) when I read your bio! I JUST got the first album, although I had the Lost episodes album and I LOVE it! (Sorry for the ramble lol)

Hiiiii! I am so sorry I didn't answer your ask right when I got it, but let me just say that it made me smile so big, oh my word. I'm glad you found your way to my blog! And don't even worry about rambling! That's what we're on this here site to do, after all :)

That's so cool that you got the first album! I've been thinking about restarting the series myself recently. Do you have a favourite character so far?

Also, just FYI, there's actually a whole AIO fandom on here, if you want to check that out! (though they can be a little crazy at times, so be warned lol)

Thank you so much for the ask, and I hope you're doing well!

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who liked or reblogged something from you! :0

Lol, I don't know if you meant to do it twice, but I'm going to take this one for specifically Odyssey things

Listening to old favourites for the first time in ages (especially ones including Bernard, but I love all of them)

The characters doing things that just sound REAL, like laughing at the end of an episode or all singing together

Elsewhere in Odyssey (I am loving the returns of old characters - and the interactions with new ones!)

Finding fellow AIO Tumblrs that love the same underrated characters and dynamics as me

This one just tickles me, but the fact that I'm married to somebody with the name of a really popular character from the show ;)

Sweaters (I cannot WAIT)

Finishing chapters (or projects) I've been working at on and off for AGES

Hello! Sorry it took so long for me to answer, but life is a crazy thing these days. (Not to mention the fact that so many people sent me the same ask? Because y'all are so nice? By the way, thank you!)

My husband <3

Unexpected connections in my stories (like, I'll suddenly realize how these two characters from two completely different books I'm working on have a connection in a really cool way, and it's just 🤯)

Turtles

Getting on reading streaks

BABIES

Love it lol

I

I’m listening to Novacom again and I love Arthur Dent. For some reason this part always made me giggle

[long-live-the-gobop]

I always thought the "experiments" were some early and/or weaponized version of the Novabox, which Charles was testing on people. Seeing how their bodies and brains reacted. Experimenting. When Armitage pushed too hard in the wrong directions, Charles came after him one night when he was alone in the house - possibly even when he was asleep - and used it on him to the point of brain tumor and stroke. (I feel like he also did this to Dent, though it didn't actually kill him as Charles planned.)

All headcanon, of course. But that's my take!

Something I’ve never been clear on: Armitage Shanks was murdered by Andromeda via them doing something to him which caused a brain tumor which caused a stroke. Andromeda tried to murder Arthur Dent as well. They tortured him to get him to talk (Joanne said he looked like he’d been through shock therapy), and not long after, he also had a stroke, except he survived. But there’s no mention of him having a brain tumor. I always assumed that Arthur’s stroke was a result of the torture method they used. Did they also torture Armitage the same way? Or did they do something else to both of them that caused the strokes/brain tumors?
