Saying "Gonna be Nobody's Soldier" instead of "I won't be anybody's soldier" because he won't be a puppet to an oppressive regime but that doesn't mean he will stop fighting for Nobodies, one who war is crushing and killing. Oh my fucking god, what if I ate my hand Andrew

when people think delilah just completely takes over and laudna has no control. when people think jester is just an uwu child who has been manipulated by every man she’s met. when people think vex is an empty husk of daddy issues without her brother by her side. when people think fjord is an arrogant asshole who doesn’t pay attention to the party around him. when people think scanlan saying that vox machina doesn’t care about him is an accurate assessment.

Everyone knows that Light and L matched each other's freak but I think their dynamic in the musical (the Japanese ver specifically) is underrated. Like it's not super different from canon but they just had this extra edge of Violence that we never quite saw from the more methodical and careful mindgames in canon death note and I think it's great. Like, yes, they did declare in canon that they will bring each other to justice, yes L says he wants to send Kira to his execution, but in the lyrics of the musical they both outright say multiple times that they just want to straight up Kill each other. It's direct the whole way through. There's more mutual contempt. This game is about nothing more than simply being the first one to Kill the Other (they actually use the word "殺し合い" (koroshiau) or "to kill each other" to describe their game (translated as "murderous ... game")).

(Sidenote but all those references about wanting to send each other to Hell?? Beautiful)

Yeah this is a battle of justice and ideals, yes that clash is a key part of their final confrontation at the end of the musical, but throughout their duets (or even songs like The Game Begins where they're singing by themselves) there's this near singleminded desire to just fucking End each other. It's fucking Raw and it's great.

Also THIS FUCKING SCENE?? THIS SCENE FROM SECRETS AND LIES. Iconic. Actually Insane. My jaw dropped. Light looks like a crazy bitch it's beautiful.

Um. Also. Obligatory Playing His Game (yknow the gay sex song) lines dump. It basically says everything I just said above in like 9 lines. You see what I mean right.

In canon they're playing a game of mental chess, trying to use everyone around them to finally catch the other as their end goal, but in the musical you really do feel like all they see is each other. They would probably beat each other to death with their fists if it came down to that. Idk they're just so excited and fired up about their little game in the musical and it's so unhinged and fun and special and I love it. It's like the writers for the musical decided to kick their murderous intent up a couple notches and the result is absolutely Beautiful.

I also think that the intensity of their rivalry in the beginning just makes the wind-down of The Way It Ends soo much better. It's such a good contrast to their previous duets where they try to sing over each other (Secrets and Lies & Stalemate) or with each other but basically at the top of their lungs (Playing His Game). It feels like there's both a quiet mutual understanding but also an underlying disappointment that the game is finally over. In canon, L's death Is instead the peak of their game, the moment he gets confirmation that Light is Kira is the exact same moment that he dies. In the jdrama it's almost sudden, how L dies, after the quiet moment has already passed. But in the musical L's death, ironically, Is the one quieter moment in their game. Their peak was the game itself. It was Secrets and Lies and Playing His Game. But the end of the game in the musical is not a victory, it's just (as L says) the end of everything they'd been wanting up until this point.

Uh. Fuck it. Clip from the Kenji Urai version because I just love his delivery here. His tone just goes so well with the silence and the sound of the clock ticking. You see what I mean right.

Their rivalry in the musical may have been more shortlived but like Damn they were really enjoying every second of it. They were truly insane about each other until the very end. (Like despite everything I just said about the ending it was still unhinged as fuck. Light Making L Shoot Him and then Making L Shoot Himself with L's Own Hand?? Holy shit man. What the fuck /pos)

Musical Light and L your game might've been shorter but you'll always be famous <33 Please never inflict what you had on anyone else ever please stay in hell forever thank you

Cracked Thoughts

Imagine you’re in love with the Hazbin men and you’re too afraid to tell them… so you decide to build a life with them on the Sims 4. You go the whole 9 yards—marriage, kids, a family pet, a big house, and all that fun stuff. But if that’s not strange enough, you have certain mods to make the gameplay more “realistic.”

Now, imagine how they’d react when you leave your laptop unattended around them. They’re curious why you keep smiling, giggling, and even biting your lip whenever you’re on it, so they decide to snoop and… they see themselves as a sim doing certain things with your sim, watching the gameplay with wide eyes and flushed cheeks.

despite probably being able to find this online, I decided to screenshot the frames of the percieve bracelet and turn them into a gif. Did this on a complete whim, hence the slightly crunchy edges... but it works well enough for my own purposes.

No but Astarion wanting to be valued for more than sex and seen for something that's not just sex regardless of who romances him and Wyll wanting a chaste and genuine romance with sincere and committed courtship with no sex regardless of who romances him is insaneeeeee. I know everyone's talked about this before but everytime I stop to think about it I lose my mind. They couldn't be more narratively bound I'm clawing at the bars of my cage

Tease! D: (/j <3 ) Now I'm just going to have to sit here and speculate! Is it a finite amount of magic Scar can channel at once? or in his whole life? Is it the world messing with him? the weakness potions causing an issue? combinations of the above?

-🎀

ok ok I’ll stop being such a tease— and behold! an old drawing!

It’s a combination of a lot of things happening to Scar at the end of the Mimic Arc Part I. He’s been continuously doused with weakness potion for several days, which has certainly taken its toll on him, and in all honesty, is more than enough to trigger a flare up in his legs / muscular dystrophy alone. But instead of dealing with that in the slightest, he has an outburst of vex magic.

Not only that, but an extended outburst.

Normally Scar only utilizes this full vex form for a matter of minutes, but this is different. He uses it to find Grian, and he doesn’t relent until they find somewhere relatively safe. By this point, he’s been pushing himself way past his limit and begins to suffer the consequences.

And while, no, there is no finite amount of magic a vex hybrid can utilize, there’s a few problems with what Scar did:

Vex magic is emotion-based, and Scar is still not accustomed to using negative emotions to empower him. He typically relies on things such as loyalty and love, but this is perhaps the first time he’s truly embraced rage.

He used too much of it. It’s like a constant stream of energy being expelled to aid his strength, and now he’s left with practically nothing.

He’s physically exhausted from the potions and overexerting his body. Normally he could potentially lean on his vex magic in a pinch when this happens, but not this time. This time it’s only made worse by the strain of magic overuse.

In short, it’s not immediately life threatening, but he’s going to be vulnerable as he recovers. Very vulnerable.

…and if Scar tried to push even further? It could very well backfire and cause him to more or less burst.
