[maddy-ferguson]

so do you believe henry is gay and there’s actually an evil version of him called edward that’s behind everything

i've been thinking henry was gay for like a year now so yeah i think it's likely. as for the henry/edward stuff well. you know me. i can't say i've read a single post about it in full. but i don't think it's impossible or crazy it's not like you can say nooo they would never save a reveal for a big bad that we weren't expecting...but i actually literally don't know anything about it

꒰⸝⸝₊⛓┊Jeff The Killer

Anything kinda emo and with intense screaming in it or just a violent vibe in general. Pierce The Veil and Bring Me The Horizon are two big favorites. My Chemical Romance and Kim Dracula are also a good example of what he likes. (Might or might not listen to Evanescence in secret). Here's a quick look at his playlist:

Honestly I think he's kind of eclectic, but if I had to choose one genre, it'd be brazilian trap, specifically Uxie Kid and Yung Lixo (though I might be biased). Maybe some general trap metal as well, those that you can't even find on Spotify and are only in Youtube.

I mentioned in my headcanons post for him, but he loves folk punk. His favorite artist is definitely AJJ, but he also likes The Taxpayers and some other genre bands/artists like McCafferty and The Front Bottoms. Will listen to pretty much anything, but these are his favorites.

Besides classical music and maybe even lofi while he's reading, he really enjoys calmer and softer songs and artists, such as Sufjan Stevens and some Mitski songs. Anything that had a tranquil vibe is perfect to him. Also, major Hozier fan.

Really into classic rock, like from the 80's up to early 2000's. Gigantic AC/DC, Kansas and Bon Jovi fan, probably has some shirts or something. Also, he's one of the most judgmental when it comes to other people's music taste, thinking that his is "superior". Honestly, if you wanna know his taste, just search up "Supernatural series soundtrack".

Will listen to pretty much anything, but his favorite has gotta be indie, rock or a combination of the two. Definitely knows how to play a few Nirvana songs. Really likes bands such as Arctic Monkeys, Lovejoy and The Neighborhood. Since he's nice and doesn't really mind other genres, he normally lets other people pick the music even though his taste is top tier.

thoughts on what fandoms the da:i characters would be in

I will do this for you but ONLY if I amend it to "fandoms they would be annoying about" because it's funnier and otherwise I'm just assigning them shows they would be into and that's too subjective and less fun

One of them has to be a Homestuck and it's Sera, Sera is the Homestuck. Sera has a Trollsona that she doodles on everything, she would 100% absolutely try to dye herself gray using sharpies and vodka for a cosplay. She references it all the time and is annoying when you don't understand her jokes. She still tries to get people into it, but she considers Andrew Hussy a mortal enemy these days for Reasons.

Solas is a Song of Ice and Fire bitch. Not the show. The books. "But wait, Boggers!" you might say (if you know me well enough to call me "Boggers"), "What about LOTR? Why isn't Solas into LOTR?" And to that I say, he's definitely read it and is a nerd about it, but this is about fandom, and fandom to someone like a Reddit-addicted bitch like Solas is about theory crafting, debates, and politics, and ASoIaF being complex but unfinished really lends itself to the kind of deep internet toxicity that I think Solas would crave. Also he likes wolves.

Cole is a Supernatural Superfan. He has all the cheesy "join the hunt" merch because for a while it was his chief special interest and all he wanted was SPN stuff. He's kind of obsessed with Baby, specifically. His favorite episode was Baby and he has an AO3 account full of fic written from the car's perspective. He didn't cry in the finale until he saw the Impala under the canvas and he's been lowkey upset at Sam for doing that ever since.

Dorian is an old school Baldur's Gate fan. Like, BG1 and 2. He's played other RPGs of that era, those are just his favorites. What makes him an annoying fan is that he thinks complicated = good and looooooves to complain about how "simple" and "boring" current-era RPGs are. If you can't softblock yourself from all progress by making one mistake two hours into your playthrough, it's too easy. He's active in fandom spaces and is largely helpful, like he writes tips and guides and will answer newbie questions, but the price for his help is dealing with him being smug.

Leliana is a FromSoft fangirl and a Soulslike aficionado. Nightingale says git gud. She'll happily team up with you in co-op to get you through stuff if you ask, but she also explains mechanics and such like you should have known them already and thinks you're just not trying hard enough to listen, even though her advice is almost incomprehensible.

Cullen is an MCU fanboy. He fully believes they're the peak of cinema. He compares literally everything to an MCU movie, as he has seen all of them, multiple times, and thinks you're "thinking about it too much" if you criticize them in more than the most banal of ways. Usually it's fine, like, being excited for stuff is fine and enjoying mainstream things are fine, but you can only have so many "Thanos was a great villain" conversations with this dude before you go insane. Despite seeming incapable of critiquing the MCU, his criticisms of the DCEU are spot-on, sharp, and demonstrative of actually very impressive media analysis skills, but also coming from a starting point of "DC Bad, Marvel Good", so it's like, we could've had it aaaaaaaaall.

Cassandra is in the Bridgerton fandom. She read the original books and liked them, so she was one of the first people watching the show. Most of her fandom stuff happens on Facebook with other book fans. Watching the show with her is fun until the exact second she says "well, in the BOOKS" and then rattles off a list of the most inconsequential changes, distracting you from a pivotal moment in the show and forcing you to rewind. She is very pressed about the seasons going out of order from the books.

Varric is a Critical Role evangelist. He was there when it started, he's listened to everything. He's listened to other real play podcasts and shows, but CR is his favorite. That's not annoying in and of itself, what's annoying is that he will not stop trying to get you to watch it. If you even breathe in the direction of a DnD-related topic he tries to give you "advice on where to start" with CR. His friends put up with it because he's their Forever DM and they love him, but he sure does do a lot more obnoxious sound effects now than he used to and they're planning an intervention about it.

Josephine is a Disney Adult. She seems normal and then bam, you get blindsided by something insane, like that she owns every single Disney character Funko Pop, or that she's gone to DisneyWorld for vacation every year for the last decade, or you go over to her house for dinner and find Hidden Mickeys in her bathroom, or she's really intense about pin collecting and limited edition mouse ear headbands. You wonder when she has the time and energy to collect all this. And there's more of it every time you see her. But the thing is that she's pretty quiet about it as long as you don't poke the bear. You know that she's seen every one of the new remakes in theaters, but you don't dare ask her opinion about them. Her favorite princess is Cinderella and she tells you "the original dress was silver" with exactly the same amount of excited did-you-know energy every time.

I hate to break this to you all, but Iron Bull is a Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan fanboy. Yep. Yes he is. His toxic trait is that he shuts his brain off and just enjoys the gritty action sequences. He liked Batman v Superman. He bought the Snyder Cut. He thinks Nolan's Batman is the absolute best that franchise has ever been and ever could be. I'm sorry, it's heartbreaking but it's true. I know, I'm sad, too, we can hold each other.

Vivienne has been in the Anne Rice fandom under the same pseudonym for ever. She was one of the original fans and was much more active in fandom when she was much younger, but she made her fannish activities more and more private as she became more established in her career. You would honestly never know it meeting her IRL; at most, people come over for dinner parties and might notice that she owns every single Anne Rice book, but they're part of her overall book collection and don't really stand out. Secretly, though, she's been keeping up with the Anne Rice fandom under a pseudonym this whole time and goes to the more modern in-person events using her fake name. She might kill you if you ever connected her fandom activities to her real life in any way. She's also just, like, she's really bad at letting people be wrong about these books. Really, really, really bad. There are epic-length threads on old forums that are just her and one other similarly deranged person fighting about obscure Vampire Chronicles lore.

And finally, Blackwall is a Game of Thrones girlie. The show, not the books. He's one of those "I don't like fantasy but I like Game of Thrones" guys, and he thinks GoT is mold-breaking and special and better and grittier and more realistic than other fantasy and that's why he likes it. His most irritating fan trait is that he thought season 8 was good and that the ending was good and he likes to get into heated debates with other fans about it. However, he does not know what Reddit is, he only talks with other GoT-watchers in Facebook, which is why he and Solas haven't had the fight to end all friendships yet. Yet.

BONUS! Krem is into Star Wars and Scout Harding is a die-hard Trekkie, and they go to big cons and cosplay together. They're not annoying at all, I just wanted to mention it because I feel like that's in-character for them.

**also if you like this and think "i'm gonna give this fine person a follow because they're so funny about dragon age", i made a new DA sideblog at @skyholdstarbucks where i'd post anything similar to this in the future

[neonscandal]

Thanks for your posts and metas, @neonscandal .... Before I found your blog, actually I ship tododeku and kiribaku. But thanks to you, I became bakudeku shipper (until now). Your metas are amazing and always based on canon. Sorry, I'm not good with words, but I hope you know how great your blog is (you are definitely one of my favorite tumblr blog). 💐🌷

And WOW these last 10 - 15 chapter, really are the best. Even my mutuals who are anti-bkdk can't deny Bakugou and Midoriya's bond anymore. Also, love Uraraka and Toga's bond....

Do you think it's possible that at the end of BNHA, Bakugou and Midoriya have ambygous relationship (kinda like Tiger and Bunny)....? I know it could be hard to be canon in shounen series.....

P.s Do you think SatoSugu (from JJK) is queerbaiting?

⚠️ Vague spoiler warnings through chapter MHA 410 at best. Covers JJK S2 with a vague mention of a character who pops up later in the manga.

It's funny you say that because I also love a good tododeku or kiribaku situation. Like yea, people have their OTP but... realistically? Characters should be just as messy as people in real life. ✨ They're going to date around before things fit together with that OTP, right? At least that's how I look at it. So I love exploring offshoots.

You are far too kind in these rough times but I appreciate you saying that (and reaching out). The swarm of asks lately have been so funny. I tend to carve out time to address them quicker than some of the other things bouncing around my head (literally, the exact opposite happens with fic updates 🥺) so I'm just happy I'm writing something. If someone else enjoys it then that's the whipped cream and caramel on my sundae.

DUDE. I hadn't read 409 or 410 yet because holiday chaos but I feel like we're beyond allegations at this point haha ALTHOUGH, I didn't see the cliffhanger from 410 coming at all so I wonder what that means for the larger story.. Got any theories?

Regarding endgame... honestly the last two chapters gave me a little anxiety. "This is our tale?" Too good to be true. Especially when we know from chapter one "this is a story of how I became a great hero". Also, I've had some thoughts since 406 about how their connection is being framed up which I haven't had time to write but it feels like a lot of fanservice for Horikoshi (and subsequent editors, etc) to not commit. Additionally, in all the ways this story subverts the typical formula for shonen, it would also feel like a fumbled opportunity to turn everything on its nose with such a wildly popular series. So I'm holding out hope but conservatively preparing for one of them to just... not make it even if we get a confession *shudders in Supernatural flashbacks*.

I hope this makes sense as I struggled to recommend stories where this wasn't the case when asked about BL. In my opinion, good representation in mainstream stories (gender identity, orientation, race, religion, disability, etc.) is when, whatever makes a character different isn't their whole identity. Specifically in the context of more traditional stories (not centered on BL for instance), they should be involved if not just as integral to the plot as any other character wherein their diversity isn't sticking out like a sore thumb. But even that characterization requires nuance which is what makes it so hard to articulate? Maybe it's simpler to say that their character arc shouldn't just be based around identity. As a short answer to your question, I don't think that SatoSugu is queerbaiting. I think they are authentically and intrinsically coded to one another in subtext and out loud straight from Akutami but that, sometimes, relationships don't work out or love is unrequited. They may not have had the same feelings despite their inherent complement to one another and that's okay.

As above, characters should be just as messy as real people and that's what makes what didn't happen between them all the more tragic because it's heartbreaking in how relatable it is (not the cult leading and murder though). Seems like a convenient answer from a delulu shipper unless you take into consideration how Kirara Hoshi's identity is given the same level of subtlety. They aren't defined by their identity nor are the characters jarred by some particularly grandiose reveal nor are they perturbed by the nature of their connection to Hikari. I'm by no means an expert but I think that these characters are executed well in the sense that they have a complexity that doesn't hinge on what would otherwise make them different. They aren't "othered", it's just a fact of who they are and the story continues. It's a facet of who they are without cheaply being all they are. With Gege Akutami's own pronouns not expressly confirmed, perhaps that informs the care around those with differing identities.

I haven't seen Tiger & Bunny yet but now I know what to check out next!

gaang + fire nation girls and their opinions on yellowjackets??

okay well i've talked before about how katara suki and ty lee watch yellowjackets together as well as assigning each character their yellowjacket counterpart, so check those posts out too, if you want!

aang: he knows katara loves it, but he can't watch it, he finds it too upsetting and creepy

sokka: he enjoys it but katara can't stand watching it with him because he's always shit like "well if they had just listened to ben they wouldn't be in this mess" or "they should be nicer to nat" and he's killing the vibe -_-

zuko: it gives him nightmares but the good kind so he keeps watching. he's a little bit obsessed with adult shauna and adult misty they are like camp icons to him

toph: appreciates the soundtrack and also sokka's very biased recaps wherein each episodes mostly details what fresh misery his best friends nat and ben (and occasionally simone) have had to endure this time

suki: she loves the aesthetics, the tone, the suspense, the humor, the music, and most of all, the hot babes. i think she is a vangirl and a lottiegirl first and foremost so s2 was a beautiful gift to her. also she'd be lying if she said she hasn't read a fanfic or two

mai: she likes it but she thinks shauna should have, at the very least, kissed jackie's corpse, if not outright fucked it. ear eating was a good start and all, but doing your dead bestie's makeup is honestly not even weirder than what the average mortician does on a daily basis, so kind of disappointing to be honest.

azula: doesn't watch it because any tv show that isn't on hbo is too pedestrian for her refined tastes, but if she did she would be so obsessed with taissa she would be the number one taigirl and she would ship taishauna like her life depended on it!!!!

ty lee: it is one of her favorite tv shows ever because it involves lesbians eating human flesh in a bacchic frenzy and what can be better than that. she's a shaunagirl because she thinks shauna is the most unhinged and therefore the sexiest. she's the type of fan who is constantly coming up with fakakta theories about lore and where the show is gonna go next. if suki can constantly spam the yj groupchat with taivan fucking nasty in the lake 5k words then ty lee is at least allowed to predict that antler queen is actually a literal spirit of the wilderness who is personified by their very faith in the supernatural, right?

katara: a show depicting various women struggling to deal with their trauma in unhealthy unappealing destructive ways, toxic teenage girljocks who take soccer way too seriously, exploring taboos in relation to the colonial assumptions of society vs the constructed bogeyman of "the wilderness" that exists in the white supremacist imagination, and nuances of patriarchy vs relational modes of knowing through both absence and presence is exactly the kind of narrative that katara would be compelled, nay, transfixed by, even if she does have some well-deserved critiques when it comes to the show's execution, especially some of its blindspots when it comes to the issue of racialization. hence why she is the biggest yj head in this house (which is why i saved her for last). like she has a whole side twitter just for yj posting. she loves all her milf children equally, except she might have a teensy bias towards taissa for the simple fact that she is the best at soccer. katara is one of those fans who studies the soccer game in the pilot as a way of gleaning insight regarding the characters, because actually she's a really big nerd when it comes to things like that. she didn't like nat at first because she'd show up drunk to practices and that pissed her off, but then nat shared that strategy with kevyn tan's son and she decided that she was okay. stuff like that. despite the fact that she and suki have gotten into screaming matches debating jackie's sexuality ("i don't understand how you can think she isn't a lesbian how else are you supposed to read her character" "maybe she just kind of ...sucks? ever think of that?????") and also nat's (katara being of the opinion that nat is straight is actually so bravely correct of her, in this instance, despite suki's totally sympathetic objections that if nat is straight then how are she and lottie gonna partake in the milffucking?? hm?????) and also ben's ("no straight man would be carrying all those condoms with him for a weekend work trip" "suki not everyone is gay you can't just assign homosexuality to everyone you think is hot" [...] "okay i stand corrected just this once"), she is extremely emotionally invested in every single one of these characters, and seeing any of them get hurt or die makes her feel physically ill (yes, even laura lee). aang's like "you know, if this show is getting bad for your mental health, you don't have to rewatch every episode five times to pick up on nuances and easter eggs and potential foreshadowing" and katara's like "but if i don't then how will i be able to properly characterize them for my greek mythology AU novel-length fanfic???????" because she is totally normal about the show and everyone can agree on that.

[k-s-morgan]

Hey, I hope you are doing okay! Reading TGSTLTH is honestly a religion for me now, it is an amazing story.

I particularly like your interpretation of Sebastian being a social outcast in hell, it really fits the canon. In the Jack the Ripper Arc, where Will and Sebastian first encounter each other, Will asks "Why would a beast like yourself want to dress up as a butler?" Or something among the lines of that. And it goes to show how out of character Sebastian is among his kind.

That being said, I have this theory that demons do not usually take an active role in their contracts, they are usually sitting on the sidelines using magic to solve problems and whatnot. I only think this because of the Reapers and Angela's reaction to Sebastian's role in his and Ciels contract. Every other supernatural being seems to not understand why Sebastian is demeaning himself by presenting himself as a human butler and serving Ciel directly. From what you've said about demons, they quickly fulfill their master's wish and don't spend time pretending to be a human, especially not in a lowly position as a butler.

I was wondering what you think on this subject, is Sebastian one of the only demons to serve their masters as a human? Did Sebastian ever have such an active role before, where he changed his form for his master?

Thx ❤️ xoxo

Hi! Thank you so much for your wonderful, encouraging words!

I always felt that Sebastian has a contradictory status in Hell. On the one hand, he's obviously strong, and demons like Claude and Hannah seem to respect him (in a twisted way). He holds himself with a lot of pride and dignity, he's confident and self-assured. But on the other hand, he's so greedy for praise. He basks in it, he loves attention, and he genuinely enjoys the concept of being admired. This, plus the comments everyone else makes got me thinking that Sebastian is a weirdo who doesn't feel like he belongs in his world, with his fellow demons. He might have their respect but not their true admiration and regard, so he compensates for it by showing off in front of humans, most of whom are more authentically responsive to it. That's one of the reasons why earning Ciel's regard is so important to him: Ciel is extremely hard to please now, but when it happens, his stiff acknowledgement means the world. Sebastian lives for it now, even if he's not fully aware of the extent of it yet.

And yes, I also think that other demons seek to end their contracts as soon as possible. They prey on humans who make easy wishes, fulfil them through magic and then eat them, often in one day. Sebastian is different as he enjoys a challenge. Like he himself said, he got tired of mindless eating. In BoA, he thinks how annoying it might be to serve Ciel but how he can wait even if it takes a lifetime because it should pass quickly enough for him. Granted, he doesn't look all that eager, but it shows that he was willing to spend a lot of time cultivating a perfect soul for a meal. This amazes all other supernatural creatures who come in contact with him. The fact that Sebastian not only serves Ciel long-term but is clearly going above and beyond the contract is even more confusing to demons.

I imagine Sebastian had a few lengthy contracts before, but I don't think they lasted for more than a couple of years, and they signified only extremely interesting cases. We know how easily Sebastian gets bored - he tried to eat Ciel just months into their contract, so I doubt the situation was different with others. I'll probably flesh this all out in future chapters.

And yes, I'm sure other demons choose contracts that don't require them to actually be servants. Like, making someone rich, accompanying someone somewhere, getting them stuff, etc.

uhhh hi... I'm kinda scared to do this but I wanna do a saiki k matchup :3. I'm 16, she/they, panromantic asexual, I'm fine with platonic matchup btw. Mbti is infp-t, I'm introverted but as a child I was super extraverted so I still have some extraverted tendencies and interject when I'm not supposed to. I also have ADHD and maybe Autism but my psychologist is still unsure about that. I don't like people who force social interaction on me or rope me in situations I wasn't originally a part of. Basically, if I don't make the first steps to interact with you, please just respectfully leave me be. People say that they feel at home and comfortable around me when first meeting but that's probably because I'm a people-pleaser. For hobbies i love to read, draw, write, look into anything that's obscure enough, and listen to music ALL THE TIME. i dislike big wide spaces, heights, dark places, and others. Anomalous and supernatural stuff interest me so MUCH. I love crazy stuff like that. I like to yap about history and crazy supernatural theories about the world, even if I don't believe them. Yeah :333

Hi lovely! Thank you for the request! 🫂❤️ I hope you enjoy!

Okay hear me out- The dark revival guy? One sec i gotta google his name bc your girl is blanking so hard rn

KAIDO

I just feel like with your listed interests/hobbies plus a couple of your characteristics (for example; dislike of big/open spaces, heights, dark places, etc) would totally match his vibe and he would instantly be head over heels if you started talking paranormal/freaky stuff with him (bc letsbe real this poor baby just wants someone who doesnt think he's crazy)

Kaido is 100% a proctective boyfriend or even just friend- because he just KNOWS the dark reunion is out to get you to hurt him. You tripped? No, the dark reunion put that rock there in hopes to injure you. Theres a spider in your room? The dark reunion is attempting to assasinate you (you can kill it now because theres no way in hell he's getting within 10 feet of that thing)

Kaido is also simultaniously broke and dying to spoil you. Like- he *wants* to give you the world, buy you everything youso much as *glance* at because this boy worships the ground you walk on- but he has 69 cents and you know what that means? He doesnt have enough money for chicken nuggies (iykyk)

If you'd like more headcanons/a rematch please send me the link to this post and let me know some light details, love you Anon 🫂❤️🫂❤️ thank you for the ask! They brighten my day so much 😊😊

[thelunarfairy]

i'v been reading your posts for a while and liked them 👍👍 can you write a post about hanako and tsukasa 🙏 why is tsukasa yourishiro hanako why is it out of bounds?! Sorry so many questions 😣

Ohh I'm glad you're enjoying my posts, I appreciate your kindness :3 Don't worry, ask whenever you want, I love talking about JSHK theories XD

Ok, about Hanako and Tsukasa I was actually thinking about making a post about them, analyzing the relationship between them from the beginning based on the information we already have about them.

Tsukasa who has the seal is a Yorishiro, as has already been made clear, which makes him the same as Sumire, a Yorishiro with human form, who thinks, has opinions, desires and also memories.

Memories are the key point here, the fact that a yorishiro has them can end up confusing us, because it gives the impression that they are the real people represented here. As we saw Hakubo's reaction when he saw Sumire in her own boundary, he is actually scared and shocked to see her, which confirms that the "real" Sumire has already died a long time ago.

So let's assume that there are 2 Sumires, the real one who died a long time ago and the yorishiro, who is a representation of the real one, and who exists to keep the 7 mysteries in line so that they fulfill their duty, as Sakura said. In Sumire's case she lives and relives the same day in a loop, the day she died.

But we see during the time that Hanako and Yashiro were there that they managed to get her out of the boundary. She walked freely even after the separation. She was about to get on the train along with the other supernaturals when she ran into Sakura, meaning Tsukasa could do the same.

It is worth remembering that nowhere was it said that yorishiros must "obligatorily" stay within the boundary, but that they will probably be there so that their owners can protect them.

In Tsukasa's case, Hanako didn't attack him once, I'm lying, there was one but with the intention of keeping him away from Yashiro, nothing that would actually hurt him.

Every time Hanako sees Tsukasa he sweats coldly, his breathing is labored, his eyes are petrified, as if he remembers his sin at the time he sees him, but as time passes, he relaxes.

To the point that sometimes Tsukasa hugs him and he doesn't react negatively, he doesn't push him away abruptly. It suggests that Hanako is ashamed to see what he did to her brother, especially when he mentions that Amane killed him. Tsukasa seems to reflect the side that Hanako hates in himself.

And this is such an interesting fact because the first time I saw Tsukasa appearing in the anime I was thinking that he was Hanako's "fault" or in other words, I believed that he had taken his own life and that guilt haunted him. When still in the same chapter it was revealed that he was his twin brother, which left me much more intrigued than before.

Hanako allows Tsukasa to roam freely, but there are signs that he lived on Hanako's boundary, I talked about it in a post, here it is if you're interested.

Tsukasa has a habit of killing smaller creatures with his hands and uses their blood to paint the walls. Hanako's boundary has these same paintings, and some of these "hands" are actually present there, one of them took Yashiro, but it is interesting to note that some of them have bruises and even bandages, like the old Amane.

I'm still going to analyze the existence of these hands that are everywhere, including on some manga covers and even on the series logo.

Leaving that aside, Tsukasa was on the boundary, but he found a way out. And at some point he joined Sakura, Natsuhiko and Mitsuba, in some random place in the school that is beyond the limits of the living because of the water on the floor. If he found Mitsuba then he can probably return to the red house whenever he wishes. That's assuming Mitsuba found him there (due to the photo of the house in his room)

The golden question is: "Why did Hanako leave him free even though he was her yorishiro?" We saw that Hakubo didn't even know about Sumire's existence, and she went wandering around, but Hanako knows about Tsukasa. Sometimes I get the impression that Hanako and Tsukasa are in cahoots, there are some clues about that. As if he let Tsukasa do these things on purpose, he pretends to stop it but doesn't really stop it. He said he would remove Mitsuba from the number 3 seat but he never spoke of it again when he left the boundary, he even calls Mitsuba number 3.

And it seems that the Joudais have a connection, every time Tsukasa uses his, Hanako's alerts him, what are the Joudais? In short, Tsukasa found a way out and Hanako allowed it. He didn't make a point of going after him, in fact he wants to keep him away. The problem is that he doesn't do anything to stop him from doing what he's doing now.

But in Hanako's defense, Tsukasa seems to have been missing for years. He says it's been a while since he saw Amane "how long has it been? 10, 20 years?" Tsukasa said. And his first appearances were as a black crane, which was spying on Hanako until he took out some yorishiros, he waited for Hanako to attack him and when he did he took his original form, scaring Hanako who really looked like he hadn't seen Tsukasa in years.

That is, apparently Tsukasa was destroyed before and was away from Hanako for many years, but when Yashiro appeared, he returned. Who destroyed Tsukasa as yorishiro? Kou's grandmother? or Hanako himself? And why did he only come back when Yashiro showed up?

These are very interesting questions. Anyway, the answer was much longer than I expected. XD sorry about that. One day I will make a more detailed post about this. I hope you liked it, and thanks for the question again :3

20th century boys - scrapped reveals and plot twists?

Don't know if anybody cares about speculating something as hard to proof and irrelevant, but I had a few ideas while reading, which even if didnt come true, seemed to be getting hinted at and with how much was made on the spot I wonder if they were originally the plan...

So not really them mentionened besides random yt comments that may or may not be an alt account of me...

Spoilers of course.

Donkey was supposed to be friend?

Remember how Donkey was first introduced? As the weird kid others ostrociced and didnt really want to include, who actually was very smart and talanted all excentricitys aside.

And he was the first "friend" to die, as a classic misdirection - while having an obvious excuse introduced to fake his death "Oh all his siblings look just like him..." (Also the evil twin angel was really emphasised with the fat bully kids at the start, hmmm....)

Donkey was the one that had the skills and near supernatural abilities while being the classic story of a good kid cracking and turning - tieing the dark subversion if shonen magazine tropes.

His whole skepticism of things could tie into too with him cynically learning that "Oh people want to fall for superstitions for illusions, really friendship is fake as well, so why not start a cult, not like its hard for me to make some tricks..."

The symbol being sent by him would be than a cheeky hint, the intentional start of a goose chase, but no geese will ever outrun a donkey...Even all the showing of Donkey in the first half would not just be as motivation for the middle aged friend group, but a setup for this dark twist, while laying the seeds of the themes, maybe even having Dunkey in his twisted logic think he did it for their sake, to make them be the heroes they didnt become.

Oh and also the whole Aldrin Moon Nasa thing seems to work the best for him - with him being the stereotype of a "I fricking love science" kid (who if I dont misremeber is said to have actually wiaited till it happened and didnt fall asleep, but maybe Im misremebering that part) and also his familys lack of money stoping him from enjoying many activities with his "friends" (even having to watch tv with Kenji...)

Oh and for any "well how would he set it up, was the one injured guy lieing about what Donkey said before he threw him of??? Or was that all part of his plan??!"

And yeah its convoluted and kinda breaks the "trying to figure out a mystery without the author just lieing and pulling bullshit" part - but Urasawa does it anyways, with all the reveals obviously not being planned before getting changed again (as he admits)

Oh and also that applys to the "real" reveal (the first one) - we literally saw the friend guy have an emotional breakdown, say he knows who the real friend must be, remove the friends mask and say he isnt that and then fall to his death

So if the Dunkey twist goes against the story, so does the real one. "Ohnono, you just had to assume that he lied and hired actors for his family and then did a double misdirection plunge to the dead and-" Yeah ok Donkey could have done that too.

but for the other theory

Kiriko/the protags sister had a "virgin birth"

So remember when there was that random detail about "Godzilla being a girl and giving a birth without a father"? And how this godzilla thing getting a callback with the mom saying she is one cause her virus killed that many people?

Well isnt it weird that the actually weird part wasnt adressed? Especially when Kanna was mysterious from the start and that at the same time talks of a "Holy Mother" started, as did all the Christian imagery with saviors dieing, resurecting and the pope (with Catholics having the biggest connection with Mary...)

But then it didnt pay of - guess she really had a secret relationship with a random half-friend of her younger brother🤷‍♂️ Not saying that that is more fantastical than all the magic and conspiracys but still a weird detail, especially with the romance and relationship not being explored at all.

It even seems to be anti thetical, with the sister being very mature and selfless, while "friend" is childish and egoistical (well maybe a certain codependent weird thing makes sense now but ehh...)

Still what would make more sense in a dramatic story with supernatural elements - the model sister suddenly just having a kid and abandoning it without ever telling anyone about the father who she only found out was evil after having a consensual relationship which she didnt really have a reason to hide at the start

Or if she DOES have a miracle birth...

Like Kiriko was literally shown to be a perfect sister, doing everything for her brother, being responsible, taking everyones shit, even sacrificing her well being for her brother and others while having a stoic expression.

Maybe she actually did magically get a baby and that scared here enough to abandon it without explaining because who could believe it.

Or maybe something cause it, something she couldnt explain.

Like Friends "magic" or "science"(magic) - hence why Friend calls himself "the father" - he kinda is, in some way, indirectly, idk

Or, as a subtheory...

Kiriko was friend. Think about it, she would be "the father" if her research developed a way to create a child without a fathers DNA (I mean there is a magic anti-proton bomb, and the virus is also not really scientific), the "father" being the part of her that is the alter ego executing the plan, the magic and the tricks.

But more importantly, it would be the perfect obvious misdirection - they were so busy searching for a boy in their class, missing the obvious girl who was just a few years older, who may even in younger photos, if she could have had short hair as that other girl love interet with the dog as a kid had, may have looked as a standard early middle school boy.

And the thematic motivation would be perfect too - she allways just saw everything from the outskirts, she had to be the older and responsible one, not having a chance to ever play like her younger brother did, being resentful of not being able to have a secret base and alll, especially when the other girl could join later.

The scientific angel is there too, as the metaphor of "being in the space capsule while the others got all the fun and glory"

Also it would be a perfect hiding in a plain sight twist thing "Oh my sister disapeared and left a baby, I wonder who this mysterious masked individual is who seems to know me and my friend so much while even knowing the name of my sisters kid... Guess we'll never know🤷‍♂️" (bonus connection - the concert being "not real rock" could be the sis either trolling him on porpuse, or doing it as a intentional thing while also not understanding why it doesnt work, showing that there is this misunderstading between siblings that could get solves in the end)

Good Omens Season 2 - Overall Review

You know every now and then its nice to step outside of the echo chamber and get a fresh perspective on things. I've been looking at some negative reviews for GOS2 this evening after some critical comments came across my dash which was a surprise at first because my dash has otherwise been filled with GOS2 love and adoration (if perhaps also some odd theories floating around).

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it made me really consider mine, so I decided to write it down. I know I still have episode reviews for eps 2-6 to write up, which I will get to, but I needed to get this off my chest first. This is generally just a reaction post outlining all the things I liked and didn't like about GOS2. Under a cut because looooong.

I hadn't read the Good Omens book before I watched Season 1. I watched that show completely blind and my main reason for watching at the time was because

a) I'm always going to be a little bit in love with David Tennant and so watch absolutely everything he is in always no matter how horrible (Des was a particularly hard watch)

b) I had heard that GO was partially some of the original inspiration for Supernatural and I'll be a Supernatural slut til the end of time.

c) I love all things fantasy and it genuinely looked like a great show.

Whilst I loved the first season, the thing I loved about it, was Aziraphale and Crowley. I also very much enjoyed the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Angels and Demons, and Anathama and Madam Tracey as characters.

I hated the kids. They were bloody awful and on every rewatch I have done in the past few years I have had to skip over their scenes. I find them completely unwatchable. I found Newt to be boring and Shadwell a pain in the ass. I don't find that particular brand of misogyny funny so his scenes are also just painful for me. I loathed the fact that he ended up with Madam Tracey in the end, AND that she changed who she was completely for him. What the FUCK was that all about?

Anyway, now that that is off my chest, the point I am making is that the only thing I really enjoyed about Good Omens was Crowley and Aziraphales love story plus a few of the awesome female characters they had helping them. I also enjoyed the quirky narration by God which I think had a distinctly Douglas Adam's feel to it (which I believe was the vibe Terry and Neil were going for at the time).

I have always been of the opinion that it was GOs faithfullness to the book which let it down. I read the book after watching the show and whilst it was a good book, it dragged on in parts, spent too long focusing on the kids, and Aziraphale and Crowley weren't quite as lovable in book format as they were brought to life by DT and MS. To me, the book was a 6/10, the show a 7/10. I was a fan of AziraCrow and their love story. I did not, and have not ever, believed they were "canon" in season 1 (though i was loathed to admit this due to the rabidity of the fandoms insistence that they were - which was spurred on by Gaiman much to his own detriment).

So when GOS2 came around I had no expectations that it would kick off with AziraCrow being all lovey dovey and shacked up - having confessed their love and living together as life partners - as I genuinely believe some GO fans expected to be the case - after all these are the fans that insisted it was canon in season 1! Surely that means they'll be together in season 2 right?

Well obviously that wasn't the case. First mistake for Neil Gaiman - maybe don't spend 4 years trying to convince your fanbase that these characters are already together and in love if you are going to write a whole second season revolving around the fact that they still aren't together.

I was also really worried when GOS2 was announced that they'd bring back the bloody kids, and Shadwell, and the other season 1 characters. I was very much relieved when I heard that wasn't the case. As much as I enjoyed Madam Tracey, she was ruined at the end of S1, and as much as I liked Anathama, I was very aware that her story was over the moment she burned the new prophecy book.

So going into Season 2, I was expecting and hoping for a few things:

The romantic development of AziraCrow from friends to lovers

More time with the angels and demons

A fun lesbian side story

Technically, I got all three things.

I am aware that GOS2 has its flaws. It's pacings a bit dodgy, and I do find some of the dialogue a bit jarring particularly in the Maggie and Nina scenes. The entire season has this slightly saccharine quality to it where I feel like if I watch it too many times too quickly I'll get sick from the sweetness. There needed to be a little bit more gruesomeness and angst to counteract all that sugar - Zombie Nazi's notwithstanding.

The Maggie and Nina mirrors to Aziraphale and Crowley were more heavy handed than in a season 8 MOTW episode of Supernatural. I've made that joke before, but it still stands. I wish that Neil had been a bit more subtle with it. As much as I like Maggie and Nina, they could have used a bit more development and a bit of distance from Zira and Crowley. I did find the scene where they sit down with Crowley at the end to basically tell him to get his shit together and tell Zira how he feels like something out of a fangirls dream. Does anyone remember that really OTT gay Hallmark style Christmas movie that came out last year? Single All The Way? Gods, when I first watched that movie I thought it was sweet, but it was so obviously taken from fanfiction that I couldn't take it seriously (I say this as someone who adores fanfiction and has huge respect for fanfiction writers - but we all start somewhere, and its usually as a teenager writing really sappy YAOI and that's what I feel inspired Single All The Way - side note: Trixie and Katya's review of Single All The Way is one of the funniest things I've ever watched, nothing like watching two drag queens absolutely destroy queer media that was absolutely NOT written with gay men in mind)). Anyway, I mention SATW because there is a scene towards the end of the movie where two teenage girls sit the protagonist down and tell him that he's an idiot who is clearly in love with his best friend and he should go confess his love before its too late.

Look I'm sure we've all had that fantasy. I know I did when it came to Destiel for years. Nothing better than picturing myself standing in the bunker shaking Dean Winchester by the shoulders yelling at him to go kiss Castiel because goddammit that angel needs to know he's loved!

It's a great fantasy. But I DO NOT want to EVER see it played out for real in ANY media. When I realised that this was exactly what was happening in GOS2 I curled up into a ball and screamed into my hands, and not in a good way. That was... bad. Someone slap Neil on the wrist for that terrible decision. There were a dozen better ways they could have explained the AziraCrow miscommunication issue.

Having said all this, everything else about GOS2 I adored. There is criticism about the minisodes. Sure, they are totally expansions on the popularity of Season 1's episode 3 opener, and are rather self indulgent and not really connected to the main Gabriel mystery, but they are each of them an absolute blast. They dig deeper into AziraCrow's relationship and help to understand a bit more of their dynamic and the underlying issues that they have been facing for their entire friendship.

I totally understand where people may criticise the Gabriel/Beelzebub romance coming out of left field as well. It was totally unexpected and yeah, sure, Gabriel was basically the villain of season 1, so I can understand the irritation and him getting to have a happy ever after love story when he has never even apologised to Zira. But I gotta be honest, I don't really care. I thought it was hilarious and a fun twist as well as well as a much more subtle narrative mirror to AziraCrow than Maggie and Nina were. You can accuse Neil of taking that idea from fans if you want, its totally possible that he came across some ineffable beurocracy fanart and thought huh, that could be fun. But I don't care if he did, or if it did come to him completely separately to the fans. I never shipped them, but I find it hilarious in the same way I find the Dean/Crowley ship in SPN hilarious. That went canon too, much to the horror of the entire SPN fandom. NO ONE ASKED FOR DROWLEY and yet they inflicted it on us anyway... I'll never quite get over that fact.

As for Aziraphale's characterisations. I disagree with everyone who says he was out of character. I love that he's still struggling with the idea of not being part of heaven. I love that he is still dealing with the millennia of abuse and brainwashing and manipulation. I love that he still hasn't quite grasped the tyranny and institutional corruption at Heaven's heart. I found the end of season 1 to be very satisfying in a lot of ways (other than the lack of handholding in the Ritz) but when I really think about it, Season 1 really doesn't resolve Zira's issues with Heaven. He get's discorporated, decides he doesn't want to fight, goes back to Earth and then he's dealing with the apocalypse and he never actually has any communication with Heaven again after that, because it's Crowley who goes to Heaven in his place and witnesses just how cruel they are (at least Hell gave Crowley a trial).

Nothing happens at the end of season 1 that could be enough to break him away from 6000 years of cult-like indoctrination. He still puts it down to a few bad angels. He never actually talks to God, and whilst the Metatron disappoints him, its very easy to believe that Zira would change his mind after receiving a few kind words, and the promise of restoring Crowley to full angelhood.

Crowley was perfect throughout the entire season. 10/10. No notes. Absolutely utter perfection. Outstanding performance from DT, I laughed, I cried, I wept, I desperately want to hug Crowley and let him cry on my shoulder for an entire night.

Other things I adored about the season include the entirety of episode 5 The Ball. My fave episode. It was so silly and adorable and funny. The entire "Seamstress" conversation had me rolling with laughter. Shout out to Donna Preston (Our girl Despair) who absolutely stole every scene she was in. Miranda Richardson shines as Shax (an excellent choice to recast her as a new character after the butchering of Madam Tracey's character at the end of S1). I think Muriel was a bit underutilised but still loved their wide eyed innocence and naivity.

The biggest thing I think was missing was Francis McDormand's narration as God. They brought her back for episode 2 for a very minor role, I don't understand why Neil couldn't have just had God narrate it again, with more Douglas Adams crossed with Monty Python style sequences of explanation (the angels dancing on the head of a pin is one of my absolute favourite moments in all of season 1). I presume that God's narration in S1 was to ensure the books more abstract explanations got faithfully adapted, but I wish Neil could have at least tried to recreate that for S2.

Finally, the AziraCrow romance was almost exactly what I hoped for. All the way through the season they built on it and built on it, whilst also shedding light on the fundamental issues at their core. They are still so opposite even though they want nothing more than to be together. It's heartbreaking, it's shippy AF, its all romance tropes and fanservice sure - but I don't consider fanservice to be a dirty word. The kiss is heartbreaking. You can feel the desperation oozing off of Crowley in that moment. The heartbreaking cliffhanger is exactly what's needed at the end of act 2 of a 3 act structure. If we had been given the episodes week by week, i fully believe by week 6 we would have been more prepared for it, because after rewatching a few times now, its built in rather seemlessly imo. It was always gonna end that way.

When I consider everything, I can honestly say hand on heart that I preferred this season to the first. Though that's only because season 1 doesn't have enough AziraCrow in it and I'm ultimately here for them. This season was made for the AziraCrow fans, so it makes sense that I'd prefer it, whereas I suppose for book lovers and people who prefer the story of book 1 to the relationship between Az and Crow then yeah, for sure I can see why perhaps you wouldn't be too happy with this season. Perhaps Season 3 will be a better blend for all GO fans.

It was a joy. Fanservice? Yes. A bit like fanfiction? Also yes. Are either of these things bad? Not at all. It was extremely queer, fun, silly, romantic, and heartbreaking. The lack of overarching domineering plot was a good thing tbh. Some of my favourite shows focus more on character development than plot, look at WWDITS, which has never had a proper plot in a single episode of its 5 season run. Yet it is hugely successful and critically acclaimed. Half the time in Supernatural the plot was the absolute worst thing about it. You ignored the plot as much as possible and instead focused on the subtext because that's where all the fun was! So yeah, the lack of overarching plot doesn't bother me in the slightest.

I will leave it there. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, though I do wish that anyone who is particularly critical of GOS2 would please tag it as such, because now I've done my dive into the critique of it, I'd like to avoid and blacklist all such critique going forward. I want to remain in my little GOS2 happy bubble for a while longer - before I inevitably revert back into deep meta analysis of the much darker, and sometimes depressing story of The Sandman.

Scarlet Hollow Thoughts

Just got and started playing Scarlet Hollow! I'd watched a couple Let's Plays on yt (mainly Gab Smolder's) and it just looked so good. Having read The Last Halloween web comic I already knew I loved the humor and style, so I had to get the game.

And I'm so glad I did! It's been so fun! I've already "finished" one play through (until episode 5+ come out) and started another with new traits.

My first playthrough had the Talk To Animals and Street Smart traits, which led to a lot of fun options. Dustin is too cute! And Dustin Mom too! One day I will get Frou-Frou to let me pet her, I swear it! *shakes fist at sky* You can't give me cats and not let me pet them, it's a need! And my current playthrough has Book Smart and Keen Eye, which is also fun (though I miss talking to the animals TT_TT). I'm gonna try and go through all the traits at some point, though I have to say these four and what I've seen of Mystical are probably gonna be my favorite traits.

SPOILERS for EP 4

Theory time!

So I'd already known about Reese's transformation due to watching Gab play (though I'd had strong vibes that Dr. Kelly had been poisoning him before the reveal so go me lol), and so I'd already been theorizing. To me he has very big Vampire vibes in appearance, but also as Dr. Kelly says there's also some similarities to Werewolves. But obviously neither of those two are a direct match, at least at this point, so I was trying to think of what supernatural creature he might actually be (this is why I've ended up friends with Stella both playthroughs, we're both cryptid/mythical creature fans lol).

We're introduced to three mythical creatures when we go through the books at the library--if you don't have the Book Smart trait that is. Now, I assume some of the stories are meant to correlate with what's going on in the game, as we later have our Tommyknockers make an appearance (or the ghosts which basically act as such). And one of the stories is about the Tailypo. For a minute I thought maybe that's the case with Reese, but giving it a longer thought, I dismissed it. The Tailypo is described as small with big luminous eyes. While Reese does have a tail, he's huge, and his eyes--while luminous--are small.

But then now playing with the Book Smart trait, we're given the option of reading more books on mythical creatures, including: The Jersey Devil. That's the only book where the creature involved doesn't have some connection to the Appalachians, which makes it stand out. Also, the story of the Jersey Devil has some parallels to Reese and Dr. Kelly's story; The Jersey Devil is the 13th born to a woman who hates it and curses it before it's born, and then after it's born it seems human at first, then transforms and causes havoc. Dr. Kelly was heavily implied to have been raped by something (honestly her description gives me Incubus vibes) but thought she was dreaming. Seems rather cursed to me, plus, while she did end up having him, it's safe to say she probably didn't want a kid before getting mysteriously pregnant. And then Reese seems human at first, before transforming due to anger.

Another point in the favor of him being the Jersey Devil (or Jersey Devil adjacent) is his appearance. No he doesn't have wings (yet) but he does get a very demonic horse-like face, much like the Jersey Devil has the face of a horse/goat. His tail also looks more similar to that of the JD than the Tailypo. And while he doesn't have wings, the way he bends in some frames makes his arms almost look like some.

Anyway, that's my theory concerning Reese. Also, I have to wonder if the story of the Bell Witch might have some similarities to Sybil.... Lots to think about.

Regardless of if my theories are on the money or way out in left field, I'm so enjoying the game, and I can't wait for more!

(Don't like don't read. Post hate and I'll block you)

Pink Astronaut headcanons(plus general headcanons I have for both their characters)

Paulina at first started the phantom blog mostly because she of course has crush on phantom and loves writing posts about phantom, getting videos of clips about phantom and writing(surprisingly actually really good) fanfiction about phantom. But than she takes a liking to writing and learning about ghosts and the supernatural. She also gets kinda a thrill managing to record whats happening during ghost fights on her phone or camera. She basically becomes a little bit of a Lois Lane for ghosts and tries to find out actual real (and actually helpful) information about ghosts and what their like(unlike the Fentons) to her followers. And her tips actually do some good at getting students out of danger and avoid/stay safe from ghosts.

The problem is that she's being reckless trying to get the best recordings and pics that she ends up needing Phantom to save her lot. Through lots of trial and error she gets better.

Star helps her a lot with the blog and her and Paulina actually become close and better friends because of it. Star has her own segments with fashion tips, tarot card readings and something call 'Star opinions' what she thinks about certain ghosts, people and fashion. Stars actually really funny and sweet. And Paulina actually doesn't mind Star getting attention because it's so good for the blog, she's becoming a better person, and it gives her more time to write.

Meanwhile Danny is constantly between super worried and annoyed at having to save her all the time. At the same time he secretly enjoys it. Plus he gets to spend more time with his crush. So it's complicated.

Danny eventually hears about the blog. Checks it out and is pleasantly surprised by it. Paulina actually managed to do some decent work, the research is good. And her theories are for the most part true. The warnings and fights on ghosts actually seem to help people avoid getting in the middle of them (which means less stress for Danny worrying someone might get caught in the cross fire between another fight between him and Skulker). Her writing is actually really good. Though he blushes at her fanfiction. He's kinda flattered that he was the inspiration for it.

Danny nicknames Paulina 'Lina'. Paulina likes it because it's sweet, and because her Papi calls her that too. She only lets the ghost boy and her Papi call her that though.

Other than ghost boy, Paulina nicknames Danny ángel, whixh means angel in spanish.

Paulina gets a lucky break and manages to catch the ghost boy in a good mood. She asks him if he'd be willing to do a interview that she could write for her blog. She promises she'll be respectful and that if he's uncomfortable with certain questions he doesn't have to answer. Danny agrees( mostly so they can spend more time together)

The interview happens on top of an old abandoned building that Danny sometimes uses as a hide out to stich himself after a fight or just get away from his parents( yeah I don't like Danny's parents)

The interview goes pretty well. Mostly it's silly questions like what's Danny's favorite foods( cheeseburger or milkshakes) or what does he like to do in his free time ( star gazing or flying. )

Why Paulina is asking questions Danny shyly at first, but soon with growing confidence asks her questions to( What’s your favorite colors: pink and green, what's your favorite anime: sailor moon)

They soon get to a few serious questions that Danny has trouble answering to. Paulina tries to tell him it's ok he doesn't have to answer, but in the end he does, but of course doesn't tell the full truth( Why do you fight ghosts and protect people? Answer: It's kinda like need to, I have to. Besides if I don't a lot of people will get hurt. Who is your worst enemy? Answer: Plasmius. And I won't explain why. Just know he's a freaking fruit loop and stay clear of him)

Later when Paulina finds out who Danny really is and who exactly Plasmius really is, she finds Vlad a fucking creep too. She calls Vlad 'gringo pendejo' as an insult or just 'pendejo'. There's this hilarious/badass moment later in pink astronauts relationship where because Vlad was too busy gloating/monologuing in his human form, Paulina manages to hit him with a car and save Danny and his friends( she knocked him unconscious, but still alive. Only thing really hurt was the fruit loops pride) Danny fell in love with her for that moment and kissed her for it as they drove away for their lives. Some how Tucker recorded it and they laugh about all the time.

The interview ends well, and Paulina manages to get a kiss out of the ghost boy(something she surprisingly keeps to herself. That interview was for her blog. But that kiss between her and the ghost boy, she's taking it to her grave)

Sam Manson obviously is getting really jealous over all this(sorry I just don't like Sam's character very much). Over how close Paulina and Danny are getting. She tries to hide it and tell Danny she's shallow, she'll expose your secret. Danny doesn't think so( he honestly believes Paulina has gotten better and change. And blog has.) Danny believes the blog has actually help. And Paulina isn't trying to pry. She honestly wants to spend time with him. Or at least his Phantom side of him.

Paulina and Sam get into a fight(a physical fight) later at school when Paulina finds out about Danny and pink astronauts relationship manages to work out (and get better to Sam's horror) as a result. Sam manages to get a few good hits but ultimately Paulina kicks Sam's ass. Mostly cause she's a physical fit cheerleader and beautiful Hispanic girl with a dad for a cop( her father definitely taught her how to defend herself) in almost all white town. Sorry no rich white girl is going to be able to kick her ass.

Paulina's Family: her dad is amity parks chief of police. Her mom lives somewhere else because she's an abusive alcoholic( due to family trauma), her aunt( her dad's sister lives with them) is a lawyer, she has two older brothers, and had a twin sister who died when they were both 8. Mostly her abuela takes care of her, but her dad and aunt try to be their as much as they can. Her family isn't rich, but they're not poor either. Mostly because her family works a lot, it's mostly Paulina and her abuela a lot. An abuela who loves ghosts and ghost stories as much as she does, and likes to spoil Paulina a lot( her dad does too).

Paulina doesn't like to talk about her mom. But she's why she had a lot of the issues she has. Especially about beauty. Her mom hit her a lot.

Her and Danny bond over their bad parents.

Song that makes Danny think of Paulina: Waiting for Superman by Daughtry.

Song that makes Paulina think of Danny after she finds out the truth Let's here it for the boy by Deniece Williams.

After they had their first kiss after she found out the truth Paulina listened to that song on repeat and was dancing all over her room.

Paulina realizes she's in love with Danny after Danny's tells Paulina one of his darkest fears. Dark Dan. Paulina quickly reassures Danny that she isn't afraid of him. Seeing his flaws and the worst of him. Added to what he deals with on the daily made her realize Danny with or without the ghost powers is an incredibly kind and brave person. And that's why she loves him.

(That's all I have for now will probably write more later.)

hey there! generally speaking I'd come off anon for this but it's been a while since I've properly been on tumblr and I'm too lazy to recover my login info lol. but anyway, I just wanted to say that I really enjoy your blog and it's always a pleasure to read your thoughts and theories about N, as a fellow N mancer! hence why I'm sending you this ask, I haven't seen anyone bring this up yet so I'd love to know your thoughts!

but to get to the actual point of the ask, I've been replaying the N route in book 3 and exploring different choices and picked up on something interesting, I think. 👀 so when you're on the "no one learnt about the supernatural" branch, if you're sober when you come back to the warehouse, you can kiss N. and it really piqued my attention because the text describes the kiss as tasting metallic, which I feel was definitely an intentional choice of words. especially because from what I've noticed, Mishka generally doesn't often include descriptions of how the detective's LI "tastes" when describing kiss scenes and usually the descriptions focus on other sensations and emotions. in addition to this, the other aspect that really made me go hmm here is also the fact that if you ask N what they've been doing while waiting for the detective to come back, they ofc deflect the question and turn on the charm/suaveness and say something along the lines of "even a vampire has to have secrets".

so both of these little things combined really makes me wonder wtf they were doing?? now of course I'm not trying to jump to any nefarious or malicious conclusions or anything like that lol. but it's still definitely something to think about. like idk I wonder if they were drinking blood or doing something with blood?? it could be nothing ofc but I just can't seem to let go of the description of the metallic tasting kiss, it's been on my mind since I read that scene and it definitely feels like a very purposeful hint for something, I just don't know what. now I feel mildly unsettled lol, who knows what N route, X tier related angst Mishka has in store for us!! but idk maybe I'm also just focusing on it too much and overthinking stuff haha.

Hello friend!! If you ever do log in, please drop me a message! Thank you so much for being so lovely and nice! So happy you like the blog - crying about N is seriously one of my favorite things to do.

Going to put my answer being a cut since it’s long + spoilers

It’s so cool that upon replaying and trying the routes, that there are all of these pieces that really start coming together to create this multifaceted story. I’ve only done the Verda dinner with N, Tina dinner with A, and Verda/Tina with F (so, will be a similar scene to what you got! Curious how it’ll go with F). Luckily, a friend had sent me some screenshots of your detective comes home drunk so I do have some context!

I like where you’re going with this, I do the same thing - look at anything for a clue to what their tier x power is. And definitely see where you’re going here!

It seems to me that the detective caught N post-meal (and maybe slipping a bit, blood tastes differently to them, like something pleasant vs the more metallic taste the detective tasted). And N’s kiss was described in the beginning of the book but you’re so right, the way the kisses taste isn’t necessarily a feature of the scene. So, I think you’re also right that it’s deliberate - that usually N tastes like nectar but in this scene, they taste metallic.

With N’s whole … discomfort of being seen/known as a vampire, their wish for humanity and to be seen as human, I can see how maybe they’d not want to being up that their dinner was actually what is necessary to sustain them - their half ration of blood (they were hungry!). Now, we did have the breakfast scene but I’ve never noticed how N drank their blood (tell me where I’m missing it though! Just haven’t seen it!) … F is made to put it in a glass, A in the wine glass, M out of the pouch, but N? Idk!

And I think it pulled into their whole conversation about being a mystery and having their secrets (if you got that in your version!) … something they’re just not ready to fully commit to and share with the detective YET. Which is a parallel to speaking with Verda and Tina about it at dinner time. Since they were asked, and they were willing to answer the really uncomfortable questions to help the detective and their friend.

All such good thoughts!! Thank you so much for sharing them with me! It was really fun to think about. Let me know or you have anymore things to discuss! Hope you’re having a great day!

A not so short introduction

Hello! My name is Milo, I am 27 and have been on tumblr for more than a decade.

I am primarily a fandom blog, but I really post whatever I want. So what you will find here will vary from day to day. My biggest fandoms are Glee and Starkid, but you will also find Woe.Begone, Magnus Archives, Malevolent, Good Omens, Heartstopper, Marvel, DC, Omgcheckplease, Stargate, Farscape, Supernatural, Doctor Who, and any myriad of other pieces of fiction that strike my fancy.

For everything fandom related, I do tag so if you don't want to see a particular fandom's content, feel free to block the tag. For the majority of them, it will simply be the name of the media, but for Glee and Starkid I have specialized tags that I will list below a read more for ease of knowing what to block.

I am a fic writer, though I only recently started writing again. Previously I wrote exclusively Klaine fics but more recently I've switched to primarily writing Seblaine with a sprinkling of Hevans and Klaine. You can find my AO3 here and my old FF.net here. I no longer post to FF.net so if you want to keep up with what I'm currently writing, you'll want to follow my AO3.

Lastly, for the Glee fans. I am a multishipper and I have been for years. I welcome fans of any and all ships and I love to hear theories and ideas about pretty much any ship involving Kurt, Blaine, Sebastian, or Sam. So feel free to tag me in anything, message me about anything, or send me anything that you think I might like to see. I am always open to making new Glee friends since there's simply not enough of us out here anymore.

That being said, Klaine is obviously the most popular ship that I will be posting about and as such you will see a lot more content for them than for my other ships, simply because there is more out there. So if you don't like Klaine, it is probably imperative that you block my Klaine tag. I also understand if for that reason you don't want to follow me, but you can still come chat with me about the ships you do enjoy, even if we're not mutuals.

And as stated before, Glee and Starkid tags listed below the cut

(any character or ships not listed will be tagged simply with their name)

Glee

General tag - F: land of misfit toys

Klaine - OTP: bowties and neckerchiefs

Seblaine - OTP: you're kind of my favorite person (this one is new, so also block Seblaine in general as I get in the habit of using this one)

Kurt - C: Im still here

Blaine - C: little ball of sunshine

Glee Cast (and partners)

Miarren - OTP: partners in crime

Darren Criss - P: sexy mcderpy pants

Mia Swier/Criss - P: sexy is a state of mind

Chill - OTP: xo

Chris Colfer - P: porcelain prince

Will Sherrod - P: Disneyland boy

Starkid/Tin Can Bros

General tag - F: actual five year olds

Jeff Blim - P: rumbleroar

Curtwen (Spies are Forever) - OTP: the warmest hello

Show titles will usually be abbreviated - tgwdlm, npmd, nmt, nmt2, avpm, avps, avpsy, mamd, tto, hmb.

Unabbreviated show tags - Starship, Twisted, Ani, Little White Lie, Black Friday, Firebringer, Spies are Forever, Solve it Squad, Wayward Guide.

And my overall tag for the Hatchetfield shows is Hatchetfield Verse

I did once upon a time have unique tags for more of the starkids, but at this point Jeff's and Darren's are the only ones I still use. Now everyone else just get tagged with their names.

Hi Danaaa, I'm Lily, I've been reading Trouvaille since September or October and I'M OBSESSED, I truly truly truly LOVE your writing so much 🥺 your updates are the highlight of my MONTH 💗

But anywaaaays, I'm here for all the spooky stuff 😈 I LOVE IT, I've always loved watching paranormal shows with ghosts and ghost hunters and all that

I've never watched Ghost Adventures but because of your blog I decided to give it a try aaand I also wanted to ask if you've watched Buzzfeed Unsolved: Supernatural 👀

It's pretty much the same "Ghost hunting" theme but SO HILARIOUS, thanks to that series I can never take seriously any other paranormal show 😭

They're so unhinged fr, and i really appreciate the realistic touch they have, they're never making anything look dramatic, if they get evidence of ghosts that's cool, if they don't, that's also cool

If u haven't seen the show I deeply deeply recommend it, u can find the episodes on YouTube, they also have the normal Buzzfeed Unsolved series where they discuss true crime cases that well, never got solved and discuss possible theories about what happend

Sorry for the long post, I'm watching Ghost Adventures rn and I HAD to pause it to come tell u this 💀 but have an amazing day and I can't wait for the next Trouvaille update 😈

Hiii Lily so nice to hear from you, and so happy you're here! 💕 AH Thank you for being here for so long, I'm grateful that you've stuck around and are still enjoying the story hehe! 7th's of the month are always my favorites too, I love getting on here to chat with you all and have fun 🥺

YESSSS!!! Truly I feel like I've found my people fr with the interests in the paranormal! Some of my favorite parts to write are the spooky scenes. Lots of that coming up sooner than you think!

LMAO I think my blog is bringing up the views for Ghost Adventures LOL I feel like a youth pastor recruiting people to watch it but seriously its my favorite. Got a little of everything, spooky, tech, travel, and of course ridiculous humor 💀 I watched a bit of Buzzfeed Unsolved in the past many years ago, but I've been thinking of starting it back up again especially after how you described it!

My fave paranormal shows are also ones where they interview random families about their homes being haunted and then there are dramatic hollywood reenactments of the story in between the interviews -- such as "A Haunting" (on the Travel Channel if you're in the USA)!

AH but I hope you're enjoying the wild ride of Ghost Adventures. With like 26 seasons and multiple spin-offs, you'll never run out of content!

Have an amazing day yourself, Lily! Can't wait to share Chapter Seventeen with you in just TWO DAYS AHHHHH 💜💜💜

12 & 21 for the ask game

AAAA tY FOR ASKING

12. What's the funniest or craziest AU idea you've ever come up with?

Ooooo I'm torn on this one honestly? I have a lot of AUs in my head not down on paper, some that are just. So far from the original source material that they're practically their own media just with borrowed faces oops XD

But I guess right now it's probably the fate AU where magic is a thing but Most of the characters are just Normal, with the Main fic being a teachers/teaching AU because -slaps head- you can fit so much salt about academia in this bad boy. I started it like...yesterday with the usual brainrot focused on Salieri and my brain has already veered completely into making a oneshot in the same universe focusing on another character's encounter with a supernatural cult leader SO IT'S REALLY GOING. I do also enjoy my Alter Ego Salieri AU.

21. Go onto your AO3. Which ship have you written for the most? The least? Does this correspond to who you consider your "favourite?"

Well, by virtue of works on AO3 it's a bit of a tossup. I have a multi-chapter fic in one fandom but a lot of the entries in it are platonic or can be read both ways so I don't really count it? So then it goes to next most written which is Morwen/Telemain from The Enchanted Forest Chronicles and Padme/Anakin from Star Wars, both with a grand total of two fics each. x'D

Padme/Anakin is a ship I'm neutral about, but since it was basically just a fix-it series that...is a lil abandoned right now, they're together because I haven't decided if they stay together or break it off to just be friends and coparents. Since rn they're both still in a lot of trauma and danger they're just clinging to each other. But I also don't know if I'll ever work on it again because there is SO MUCH LORE I have to remember and Star Wars fans are scary if you get lore wrong. XD But also for them to still be a ship in canon/fix-it they would need. SO MANY TALKS AND THERAPY.

Morwen/Telemain meanwhile is a ship I do hold fairly close to my heart; Telemain is a character I just love, he annoys the hell out of everyone with all his technical magical talk and I feel so seen by it because same, friend, same. I'd like to write more with them eventually, and I did start a multichapter back in 2020 that I'd like to get back to if my brain cooperates. I'd really like to explore Morwen and Telemain both diving into technical magical talk because I feel like she enjoys it too, just tends to remind him to speak a little more plainly when others who aren't as steeped in magical theory are around. And I also have a really feelsy WIP on the effects of the war on Morwen somewhere deep in my docs that also has some shippy vibes, but I've not worked on it for ages because it feels very self indulgent.

And if you look at my WIPs it's all Salieri/Mozart from Fate Grand Order, I have like. Nine in my docs right now, save me x'D and only one up on my AO3.

THANKS AGAIN FOR THE ASK FRIEND AAAAAA

EDIT: I FORGOT the ask game is: here for anyone who wants it themselves/wants to ask uwu
