#because even though he’s bigger and stronger than arlo now he will forever be a scared little abused kid when he has to deal with arlo

[gingerwerk]

I know I’ve said it before but one of my favorite things Timothy does is how instantly he makes raylan act irritated/upset when he’s around arlo, regardless of the context of their conversation

piper knightingale - ten years later

age: 28 occupation: hairdresser   relationship status: engaged to taylor wright  children: mother of micah saracen (4) with ogie saracen and august wright (1) with taylor wright in the past 10 years:

after a little while of working at her mothers salon, piper realised that what she really wanted to do, was to be a hairdresser. she liked spending time with other women, talking to them, getting to them know and hair seemed to be what piper was best at. she had been giving herself haircuts since she was at university and she always thought that she was pretty good at it. she saved up a little bit of money working with her mum, and took a hairdressers course at the local college.

throughout all of this, piper and ogie were still together. they were really happy with one another. once piper got her first job as a hairdresser, she and ogie decided to get a place together. they were so in love and piper was so sure that it would be for forever. the flat was only small - they didn’t really have enough money for anything else. and things were difficult, they didn’t really have the money to spend on anything other than the essentials but they were happy. and that was the only thing that was really important to piper. as long as they were happy together, then everything else was worth it. piper really didn’t feel like she needed anything else outside of her life with ogie. 

when he proposed, four years into their relationship, it was a no brainer to piper. of course she said yes. she had no idea how ogie was able to afford a ring but she was so happy that he did because the idea of being ogies wife was something that piper really, truly wanted. she thought that ogie was the love of her life and it was nice to know that the feeling was mutual. 

although she had, had fun planning the little bits of wedding that she had - when she found out that she was pregnant, all of that had to be put to the side. the money that they had managed to save for the wedding went on everything for the baby. a crib, a pram, all of the other supplies - and even a slightly bigger place for them to be able to raise their baby. everything felt pretty perfect, though. both she and ogie doted on their son, micah, before he was even there. for a little while, she had never felt happier. 

a few weeks after they had their son, though, piper realised that the overwhelming love she had for ogie had gone. she still loved him but it felt, strangely, platonic. it felt like the spark had just gone out and piper didn’t know what to do about it. when she spoke to her parents about it after a couple months, they told her that it wasn’t quite right, that she needed to say something about it. and piper was so relieved that ogie also felt the same way as she did. they decided to coparent micah. piper had him through the week and ogie had him on the weekends - though, when piper eventually got her own place, ogie would come for tea at least twice a week so they could spend time with micah as a family. 

after her split with ogie, piper moved back home to her parents house. she needed a little time to be able to get back on her feet after a setback like that. there was enough space for her and micah to be there comfortable, at least for the first year or so. and her brother had moved back home too so it was nice to have the entire family under one roof. it was through this time - about a year in total - that piper and landon started to become close. they both needed someone to rely on, a shoulder to cry on and that was what they became for one another. she had always wanted a good relationship with her brother and she was so happy that she finally managed to have that. 

piper moved into her own place, with the help of her parents, almost a year after her split with ogie. it was even smaller than the flat that the two of them had shared but it was enough for her and micah. 

it was three years ago, that piper met taylor. she had just moved into the flat and was getting her first lot of shopping. she was a little frazzled and micah was throwing a temper tantrum. she was struggling with the trolly and trying to get micahs dummy for him, as she knew that, that would calm him down. taylor helped her out and the two of them got talking. piper had alwyas been good at starting a conversation with someone, so it seemed pretty natural to her to talk to taylor after he had been so kind. by the time that she had finished her shop, taylor had asked her out on a date. it felt nice to feel like she was wanted by someone - especially because she was worried that she would find it hard to find someone when she had micah. piper and taylor went on their date a week later and things felt really good between them. it was natural and she thought that even if things didn’t work out between them romantically, that she had definitely found a friend in taylor. but their relationship only went from strength to strength. 

like it was important to ogie to get her approval on rachael, it was also important to piper to get ogies approval on taylor. if things went well, then he would, obviously, be spending a lot of time with her son. she was so relieved when ogie told her that he liked him.

it was just after that, that taylor asked piper to move in with him. although she loved her little flat, moving in with taylor felt right. they were about a year into their relationship and she felt as happy as she had done in the start of her and ogies. it was around this time that piper found out that she was pregnant, too. they had never discussed the idea of having more children - though it was something that piper knew that she wanted - so when she told taylor, and he was excited, piper was so happy. although she couldn’t help but worry a little. things had started going south with her and ogie after micah was born and she really didn’t want history to repeat itself. but it seemed to be quite the opposite this time. after she gave birth to her second son, august, her relationship with taylor only seemed to get stronger. she felt more love for him than she had ever felt for anyone before. 

piper had always been a very cautious person but when it came to taylor, she wanted everything. so, after almost two year together, piper decided to propose. she wasn’t bothered about another big proposal after ogie and she wanted taylor to know that she wanted to be with him for the rest of her life. so when taylor was out at work, she had micah draw him a picture. the picture was of a ring and micah had written ‘will you marry my mummy?’. it was the best that she could come up with and she was so relieved when taylor said yes. 

despite all of the changes that have happened in pipers life over the last three years, she has always made it high on her priorities list to keep her friends close. she still considers nancy and iris her closest friends and the three of them have a standing date in their diaries so they can all see one another  - even if it just at one of their houses for movie night. other than her relationship with her kids, her relationship with those two girls is the most important thing to piper. 

this time, she knows that she will get her wedding, she knows that she has her happily ever after. piper definitely still wants more children but she knows that, that will all come with time. and she cannot wait to be able to celebrate arlo and iris now, after all of these years.

Episode 146

Honorable mentions:

I swear people just love to jump out at Blyke poor guy

Remi is way too chill for someone expecting to be drop-kicked into tomorrow

Isen’s face just gets funnier and funnier as this episode goes on i swear

Is it bad that I’m kind of sad that Blyke wasn’t noticing John for his muscles..?

I just remembered that Elaine existed ohmygod lmao what’s she been up to haha. She knows about John I feel like I haven’t seen her for some time (or I’m just forgetful lol)

I love how Remi doesn’t even act surprised when she finds out that Isen knew who joker was slkddjk

I’m really mad that Remi interrupted Isen when he was saying “you have no idea what you’re talking about.” Like, girl, if Isen had been able to warn Arlo what would happen, none of you would be in this situation right now. Let Isen explain it to someone damn it. I won’t be able to take a replay of the entire plot I’ve suffered too much.

Arlo’s so done with this shit that he doesn’t even react when Remi tells him she knows who Joker is

I swear to god, i don’t know if i’ll love Arlo using Sera against John or hate it.

I’ve realized very recently that these posts have strayed a bit from being analysis posts and have really turned into me freaking out about the new episode each week and I’m sorry, I’ll try to actually share some theories and more thoughts in the future ;-;

I should also probably reread these before posting… lol I’ve probably messed up somewhere in this. Eh idc im lazy

Also, uru-chan answered questions by the instagram account @unordinary.webtoon and said that UnOrdinary is going to have at least two seasons and will end up being over 300 episode so buckle in folks this train ain’t ending anywhere soon we in this for the long haul.

Smart Blyke:

    For the first time in my UnOrdinary history (around 1 ½ years), Blyke might have become my favorite character. I know I said last week how much I was loving Arlo and John, and that’s still true, but honestly, right now, Blyke is tied with like Arlo. I used to really dislike Blyke. Not because I didn’t like his character, but because he took up time that could be focused on like John or Arlo. He was always that ‘filler’ character for me, but damn.

    I’m really happy with how this small detective Blyke bit ended. Before, Isen really overshadowed Blyke in the smarts department because, well, smarts were what Isen’s storylines revolved around. His whole relevance to the plot is from when Arlo told him to dig up dirt on John, forcing him to get creative and think. Blyke’s storyline, however, has always been about power. He wants to be stronger and become that white knight type. He wants to prove himself through ability. I think because this part of Blyke was showcased since the beginning, everyone kind of wrote him off as that valient, but dumb type.

    Hehe, I love being proven wrong.

    Like I said already, I’m so impressed with Blyke and his deductive skills. Like dude. Blyke’s instinctive theories prove that he’s so much more than first presented. “Joker… Whoever this guy is, he’s well-versed in combat and he’s been exposed to countless abilities.” Pretty normal reasoning right? But then he hits us with the “He may have hidden himself all this time, but he’s been watching and analyzing all of us.” I feel like even more so than Isen, Blyke knows what he should be worrying about. Blyke can see the bigger picture. Not only such a great leadership quality, but I’ve been having issues since forever with the characters of UnOrdinary not seeing the bigger picture. Hell, a while back, I made this whole ass post explaining why Seraphina was such an annoying character to read and see because she only seemed to notice things revolving around herself (still true, but that’s for another day). 

    Back to Blyke: He thought to himself, “I wonder how long he can retain abilities for? It isn’t permanent otherwise he would’ve started our fight off with Isen’s ability. Does he keep an ability with him at all times? What’s he like when the abilities he collects wear off?”

    These quotes were all from last week’s episode (episode 145), and I wondered whether he had actually solved it. When he reacted to John, had it all clicked. And damn how excited I was when I found out that it did.

    I guess I technically can’t be too impressed with Blyke because he did say in this week’s episode that, “It’s just a strong feeling.” But like, he backs it up with reasoning and he was right so like. Good on you Blyke lmao.

    Even though snakes are like the best characters because the drama, the captain america type (like Blyke [you know what I mean right?]) really draws me in sometimes. I really feel like I’m looking at a “what if” version of Arlo. What if Rei hadn’t messed up the hierarchy? What if Arlo hadn’t been forced into leadership after only being at school for one year? I know that this probably isn’t true because uru-chan recently said that the characters were all created based off of anime stereotypes (already stated by her, but it really fits with Blyke) and after that, they evolved into different parts of her personality, but I genuinely feel like Blyke was created to be Arlo’s parallel, if you know what I’m saying. I’m probably talking nonsense lol, I just love the idea of parallels (I’ll try to tone that down haha).

    ((afterthought: Blyke can also be stupid sometimes. like , he figured it out, but he still doesn’t know what’s he’s talking about boy let Isen talk))

Isen:

    Yessssss yes yes yes yes. God, I’ve been waiting for this since forever. Remi and Blyke finally know that he knew who Joker was (which, by the way, was something else that Blyke realized).

    I’m really excited purely for the fact that this has been set up since the beginning of the comic, when Arlo told Isen to learn stuff about John. Isen’s been a key character all along because he knows stuff. He’s the guy with all the secrets and I’m living. But the best part of a character knowing so much, is when everyone discovers exactly how much they know and the significance. I swear it’s one of my favorite tropes (? is that the right word to use?) like ever. When someone is revealed to have held the cards all along. And it’s so much more satisfying when everyone else isn’t aware at first, which is why I’m not freaking out over John. For Blyke and Remi, they’ve been with Isen since the beginning. Through every attack that John’s been involved in (when Arlo got defeated, when he freaked out because John was Blyke’s roommate, e.t.c. [I just realized that the examples I used are the exact same ones uru used in the new episode ksdjfhkshf]), Remi and Blyke have either tried to figure on what was going on or trying to figure out why Isen was acting weird. I know that was worded so badly, but I ain’t here to impress, I’m here to force my opinions on y’all.

    I probably have more opinions on this, but thinking confuses me so we’re moving on.

Theories that look bad because i can’t be bothered to properly write them out:

Remi is going to demask Joker so everyone knows who he is, solving the problem of nobody believing when they would say that John is Joker

Arlo is going to use Seraphina by dragging her ass to his and John’s fight

Both of these happen at the same time

=chaos

(please)

This is really random, but i might as well say (while I’m here) that if Claire never even makes an appearance over the course of this comic, i’m going to be actually upset.

also guys be prepared John is onto Blyke bitch did you see that death glare at the end of last episode whew
