im so happy that sam got a winter themed apocalypse in the other universe because now i get to make stupid references about it

It's funny how most of the time the trope is "Don't talk about the future so you don't ruin it!" But Nico didn't give a fuck lmao

Episode 2x03:

Pharazôn (same as all prior episodes he's been in)

Durin IV (loss of royal title as of 1x07)

Disa (loss of royal title as of 1x07 with her boi)

Episode 2x05:

Ar-Pharazôn (HE IS THE REGNANT KING NOW!! FUCK!!)

Prince Durin IV (restored to royal title)

Princess Disa (restored to royal title with her boi)

Additionally, despite Pharazon being implied to have usurped her, Miriel remains Queen Regent Miriel. Elendil is still also a Captain as of this episode.

--------

Implications: Durin IV and Durin III have fully made up, possibly over the ring of power they receive. Over in Numenor, Pharazon is in power, but Miriel is still regent in some manner. Elendil's not in prison yet.

Entertained

Villain lands in the middle of the street, cars swerving to avoid running them over. They double down, panting heavily as their thorax contracts, gasping for air. They make an effort to straighten and take a deep breath that sends a jolt of sharp pain across their torso. Their eyes search the perimeter for any sign of Hero, who they have been fighting since 5 p.m. It was almost midnight, and none were ready to accept defeat. 

“So stubborn,” Hero purrs from behind them, wrapping a hand across their torso, so tight Villain thinks their ribcage will crush. “Just yield.”

“You wish,” they almost spit the words, bringing their elbow back in a swift motion. This time it’s Hero that is doubled down and gasping for breath. They press a palm to their knee, looking up with a smirk.

“I wish you were panting for other reasons,” Hero’s gaze is locked on their parted lips. It catches them off guard, but Villain manages to keep their composure. They glance down at Hero’s flushed face and dilated irises. Is this idiot...? 

They avoid finishing the thought, instead reaching for Hero’s arm and throwing them across the street and into a backyard. Hero groans, pulling themselves up and squaring up. “How long are we gonna keep doing this?”

“What, you’re tired already?” Villain chuckles at the thought, refusing to acknowledge the burn in their own legs and arms. “Here I thought you’d have better stamina.”

They absolutely did not intend the double meaning behind their words, but the way Hero’s face goes crimson leaves no space for regrets. Hero inhales sharply before meeting their eyes. When they speak, their voice is low and heavy. 

“Come here, and I’ll show you my stamina.” It’s the challenge that sends a shudder down Villain’s spine. It has nothing to do with the heat waves running them over or the fact that their body reacts almost immediately. They curse under their breath when Hero bites their lip, waiting for Villain to throw something heavy at them. 

Villain does not. They throw Hero. Across the yard and into the abandoned lab - their hideout. Hero sags to the floor, ready to concede defeat. Villain, however, doesn’t spare them the time to speak, instead pulling them up into a standing position and slamming their back against the wall. 

“Let’s see how tireless you really are, shall we?” Villain’s gaze oozes resolution despite the teasing tone. 

Hero’s brain short-circuits. Unable to grasp the implication behind their words or the smirk which finds its way onto Villain’s face, they stare blankly into the space between themselves and their nemesis while Villain slowly closes the distance. Hero opens their mouth, attempting to speak, but nothing comes out. Villian chuckles, wrapping an arm around them and trailing their fingers over Hero’s quivering lips. 

“Not so confident anymore, are we?” Villain whispers against their mouth, their proximity intoxicating. That about does it for Hero, who reaches forward, grabbing the back of Villain’s head and crushing Villain’s lips against their own. 

It’s almost 5 a.m. when the sun appears on the horizon. Villain rolls over, covering their eyes and reaching for the curtains to pull them shut. It’s too early, and they have had the longest day and an even longer night to care for the sunrise. Hero mumbles something by their side, so they turn back, pushing the covers down from their face. 

“Did I tell you I resigned yesterday?” They yawn lazily. Villain stares at them in shock, but Hero’s eyes remain shut. It takes them a moment of deliberation to understand this night would not have happened had Hero not done that.  

“Oh no! Whatever will I do?” They exclaim, forcing Hero’s eyes to flatter open, confusion colouring their features. Villain turns onto their back, pressing the back of their hand to their forehead in a dramatic gesture. “Days of consuming boredom await me.”

Hero can’t help the laugh that escapes their lips. They prop themselves up on one elbow, leaning over Villain with a smug smile. 

“I think I can keep you... entertained.” 

Villain doesn’t answer, instead wrapping their arms around Hero’s shoulders and pulling them down onto their chest.

Hi, loves! As per your wishes voiced in the poll, I am back with another spicy/flirty story :D I hope you like it and thank you for being here! I’m happy to have you.

In the most shounen way possible Evil Wolverine SURE DID launch into four pages of evil speeches COMPLETELY UNPROMPTED and for no reason in particular. 

YES EVIL WOLVERINE WE KNOW THIS MOMENT IS CUT OFF FROM TIME. WE KNEW THIS ALREADY. 

Perhaps it’s the translation or just his wording in general but I’m not sure what the four pages to establish “Divine Providence” doesn’t work here actually means? He says at first that it doesn’t work for Space and Time in general any more, both past and future, but then specifies that this moment specifically is also cut off from "Providence", because it’s cut off from the rest of space and time. (But if "Providence" already didn't work in the past and future, why would it NEED to be cut off in order for providence to ALSO not work here?) And yet I’m not sure exactly what Divine Providence really means in this context, or what it has to do with anything at all that we’re doing here. 

I think it might have been more impactful if he was saying that this moment is cut off from Hitsuzen and so anything could happen, or that it’s completely outside Yuuko’s influence so they can’t be saved. Something along those lines would have made more sense to me thematically.

Also... I'm not sure what he means when he says that Yuuko turned back time? I thought Lava Lamp's wish was with Evil Wolverine specifically - he says "I'll fulfill that wish for you", and when Yuuko shows up he claims that's she's interfering.

But here he says that YUUKO turned back time, implying that the wish was through her power. So...?

I think something got lost in the translation somewhere between these two chapters OR Evil Wolverine really will just say whatever the fuck he thinks in the moment.

I think at first I thought he was comparing Lava Lamp to someone else, but on second thought I think he means that Lava Lamp hasn’t changed since he first made the wish. 

Something to do with the fact that this scenario has to end a “different” way than it first did, and yet Lava Lamp still has the same motivation as before. 

I think you could probably make an interesting comparison out of the fact that (from Evil Wolverine’s perspective) the universe broke because Lava Lamp made this wish in the first place, but he’s still here with the same goal in mind, and so he’s never really learnt anything. 

Which isn’t true, but I think I’m still just trying patch Evil Wolverine’s speeches in a way that actually makes sense to me.

one of these things is not like the others

i like thinking about what in the world miranda & james & thomas possibly thought they were doing. they had no model, and they had all these rules... which they love living in... a soldier, a politician, AND a socialite, society was their world. you get where all the other throuples of the show were going, because they were all pirates. but what did that form of sexual lib mean in society? was it just... love? woww is that all that matters or something...
