Well That's a Big Cat

Hello everyone I'm very much alive, just been extra busy w/ school lately and been getting too much sleep

There's been a lot of chimera/overblot Grim on my dash lately so I'd like to contribute : Chimera Grim's Design

So starting off, Grim has a ring of blue fire surrounding his neck, much like a lion and its mane, this could either reference the chimera, or it could be referencing the King of Beasts - Scar.

Also it's interesting how the Shroudbros and Grim both have blue fire, with the Shroud family curse being that they burn away blot and how Grim has an addiction? to eating the left over Overblot stones (and seems fine after eating it) I remember seeing a theory about how Grim might've been the monster that killed Ortho, (given how Grim doesn't remember much about his childhood) Forgetting about your childhood is a actually also a sign for childhood trauma, no idea if it applies to cat-monsters though. .u.

Also, see those tentacles behind the mane? Does it remind you of someone? Our favourite octo-capitalist perphaps?

Ah yes, the snake tail. Again, this could either be referencing the chimera or the snake in the Scarabia icon. (both maybe?)

Dragon wings!!! The chimera doesn't reference dragon wings so this is definitely referencing Malleus' dragon-fae lineage. Interestingly, I don't see any references to OB! Riddle or Vil, those two could be harder to reference since they don't have a clear "animal" motif, I would appreciate it if anyone notices anything lol.

But we're still missing the goat, the chimera has a "goat protruding from it's back" but I don't see it anywhere on Grim (again, if you notice something or know someone who is better than analysing stuff pls tag me ToT)

@prince-kallisto has posted about how Twst has LOADS of religious symbolism(specifically Christian symbolism), so check them out for a clearer analysis on the stuff I'm abt to say. Goats are a symbol of Satan/The Devil in Christian mythology, and given how Maleficent(a dragon) herself has demonic symbolism the dragon wings on Grim's back could symbolise the "goat protruding from it's back".

one thing i love about the ace attorney trilogy soundtrack specifically is how all the questioning themes sound distinctive and unique from each other, but when you listen to them closely, they follow the same general melody/progression. it's just...peak soundtrackism

[jinmalos]

you guys are so lucky i am so so sleepy and havent slept in like 48 hours because. when i am well rested. one of you has asked for xbc3 wave 4 theories. and boy i have theories. you are GETTING theories. im jsut warning you all

[prince-kallisto]

Hmmmm now I feel even more convinced that Ferro/Fellow knows NRC more than he lets on. Of course he’s buttering them up with compliments, but some of his lines I feel like could be interpreted as…bitter? “The scholars of tomorrow” “unmistakable noble aura”…and as I mentioned in previous posts, it’s very odd that NRC students have become a target specifically.

I’m the sort of person who interprets irl conversations in many different ways haha…so when he says “That’s NRC students for you!” When Floyd gives him and Gidel his usual strange fish nicknames, he makes it sound like it’s “typical” or “expected” for NRC students to be eccentric, despite repeatedly saying how noble and illustrious the students are. HAS he actually attended NRC before, or at least familiar with some graduates?

Because as immature and silly the boys at NRC can be, we have to remember that the outside world isn’t aware of this. They still have a prestigious name to them, an image that Crowley is very careful to maintain, and it doesn’t help that NRC is located on such a secluded island.

@twst-eeps has pointed out that Ferro knows about these specific uniforms, and has probably “been waiting to scam NRC students from true beginning.” Interesting how he says “we have good luck” as if he were surprised to see NRC students here. But he must have traveled to Sages Island for them specifically, right? Unless…he’s aware of the barrier at NRC. This event started because of a basketball game at RSA. I cant quite remember if RSA has a similar barrier to NRC (Noble Bell College does), but barriers at NRC go down during events and sports games. We can assume RSA is the same way if they have a barrier.

So if Ferro was looking for NRC students specifically, but didn’t go near the school building, perhaps he knows of the barrier OR fears being recognized by the faculty. Which is why he said it’s “good luck” to run into NRC students so far away from their school- he can carry out his business without catching suspicious from NRC faculty

He calls himself “Fellow Honest,” and claims that some people call him “Honest John.” But ngl, “Fellow Honest” sounds like a stage name. Even more of a reason for him to avoid NRC (if he was a student there, that is), to prevent his true identity and name getting revealed.

٩( ᐛ )و If none of this happens and I was actually reading into things way too much as usual, I’m gonna jump in a ditch lmaoo, I’ve made way too many posts based on this theory

SSR Trey Clover Outdoor Wear Personal Story: Part 1

"Something a little tastier"

Part 1 (Part 2) (Part 3)

[Dwarfs' Mine – Campsite]

Trey: Are you ready? We'll be heading out to do the mining task soon.

Science Club Member A: I need you guys to wait just a bit. I thought I had put in my mining research kit in my bag, but I can't find it at all!

Trey: Got it. Hurry and find it, will you?

Trey: Seriously… He's really going to put his own research before our tasks? There are way too many guys in the Science Club that just go at their own pace.

Trey: I guess I'll sort through my things while I wait. …Hm? That looks like…

Idia: Rule 1. Small fires require small logs. Rule 2. Don't crowd the fire, leave a moderate amount of space.

Idia: Rule 3. Once the flames grow higher, feed it branches with High Attack power… Whew.

Idia: Fuheehee, I've totally memorized Premo's 3 principles of making a bonfire.

Idia: Might be obvious steps, but their word choice makes it easier to remember.

Idia: I need to complete the wood gathering missions so I can mimic what they did in their video, too.

Trey: Idia, you seem pretty fired up.

Idia: Eek!? T-T-T-Trey-shi!? You scared me… Don't just come up from behind and start talking…

Trey: Haha, sorry, sorry. I was just surprised that you're getting into the groove of camping. Didn't mean to startle you.

Idia: Getting in what groove? If I could go home ASAP, I would…

Idia: B-But, I know I can’t… S-So I thought at least I could watch the stream my faves made on bonfires…

Trey: Neat, so there are things that even you want to do while camping, huh.

Trey: There's a guy in my club too, who's all excited to do some research in the mines since we're all here for camping, anyway.

Trey: He's usually always doing research on geology and mineralogy. I remember that his reports are always pretty fascinating.

Trey: That reminds me, that guy did say something interesting before.

Idia: …Something interesting?

Trey: He said that there's a theory that this whole area around the mine used to be underwater many, many years ago.

Trey: Although, this area isn't anywhere near the sea, so we really can't tell if that's true or not.

Idia: …Don't think it's that impossible. Mines like this with magical gemstones are more prone to form in areas that have high volcanic activity…

Trey: You really know your stuff.

Idia: Eep… N-No, no, no, anyone would know that kind of thing. It was just taught in class, so…

Trey: Was it? Well, sorry. I didn't mean to talk about something you weren't interested in.

Idia: Ah, I mean, it's not like I'm not interested… And originally, I was looking to join the Science Club…

Trey: Eh, really?

Idia: Y-Yeah… I thought it'd be time-efficient if I could research my interests as part of my club activities…

Trey: Yeah, I get that. A bunch of us in the club had the same sort of idea as you. You should have joined us.

Idia: Wh-When I went to check the club out, there was a lot more people than I thought, so there was no way…

Trey: A lot of people…? True, I guess we have one of the larger culture clubs.

Trey: Ah, but what a pity. If you had joined our club, I might have picked up a thing or two in new fields.

Idia: Hah!? A pity!? T-Trey-shi, what are you scheming…!?

Trey: Scheming…? Are you that shocked I'd say something like that? There's no one out there more knowledgeable about digital engineering or technomancy.

Trey: That's why I thought if you had joined the Science Club, you would have found a different way to do your research than the others in the club.

Idia: I-I only want to do the things I like to do… I'd rather not have to deal with presenting results, or other people's expectations…

Science Club Member A: Trey, I'm ready now. Sorry I made you wait.

Trey: Gotcha, let's go, then.

Trey: Thanks for chatting with me. Good luck on your tasks, Idia.

Idia: Ah, y-yeah…

Idia: …HAAAAAAAAAAAAH～～～～～ THAT WIPED ME OUT!

Idia: I heard that the guys in the Science Club just do their own research on whatever they want, but in the end, they still rove in packs!

Idia: They seriously go and do their thing in large groups like that? No way, no way, I'd never be able to do that!

Idia: He's not as intense as those other happy-go-lucky guys, but even Trey-shi'll just keep the conversation going like that…

Idia: I can't deal with that kind of thing. It's the worst. I hope he never talks to me again…

Big Damn Theory paper worth 40% of my grade is due in 51 hours, and it is not going well. I’m having to change my premise and proposed research design because I bit off WAY more than anyone could chew even with a few years of decent funding and a couple of research assistants. My prof gave me good advice on narrowing down my parameters, but because of Day Job and TAing and Marking, I have had woefully little time in the evenings for this paper. And it’s due by Monday noon.

It has been impressed upon us that this is graduate level paper and should be treated as a formal research proposal, submission-ready. I *have* had enthusiastic comments on a research proposal I mistakenly submitted to a national postdoc grant, thinking it was the MA grant (funny story there)...so I know I can do it, but I wish I had another few days. Eep.

Last time I felt like this, I did manage to pull a large rabbit out of a hat, but it took me out for a few days after.

Power of (99%-sure) ADHD Panic and hyperfocus, be with me now.

[bbygirl-aemond]

what do you think of the theory that aemond is the biological father of helaena's children?

eep i don't want to alienate anyone who ships helaemond bc i'm not the type to hate on specific ships, but i think this theory relies on completely incorrect assumptions about aemond's character. aemond would have been far too young to father jaehaera and jaehaerys, and for him to father maelor would go against all of his demonstrated principles towards family, duty, and morality. let's get into more detail! csa cw going forward because all of these characters have sex for the first time when they are way too young for it to be okay, even in-universe.

okay so jaehaera and jaehaerys are six years old around the time of viserys's death. at this point in the books, aemond is nineteen; in the show, he's meant to be even younger, around eighteen. remember that a pregnancy lasts for nine months, and people don't usually conceive on the first try. so aemond would have had to conceive the twins when he was barely thirteen at most, and possibly as young as eleven or twelve. that's just so monumentally messed up. like he might not have even been capable of having children, that's how incredibly young we're talking.

additionally, aemond isn't shown to have the healthiest or most open relationship with sex. in the show, he mentions that aegon took him to a brothel when he was around thirteen (interesting that this would've occurred around when aegon had to conceive with helaena and as i've discussed here was probably going through a lot of shit internally). aemond seems upset to remember this, and doesn't speak of it fondly. so i don't think he would have exactly been jumping at the chance to have sex with helaena right around when he was molested. and again, even if he did, it would be assault because of how young and undeveloped his baby brain was.

lastly, and this applies for maelor too since i know y'all will point out that aemond was older by the time he was born, aemond would never interfere with aegon and helaena's marriage. i think a ton of people have really misconstrued his words to aegon about helaena when they were both children. let's look specifically at what he says in episode seven:

aegon: we have nothing in common. aemond: she's our sister. aegon: you marry her, then. aemond: i would do my duty, if mother had only betrothed us.

i know that little "only" in the last line made a lot of people think he has the hots for helaena. but i think it's important to put it in context of his relationship with aegon and what's come before that line. this isn't aemond professing love for helaena; it's aemond trying to comfort aegon, who is reluctant to do his "duty." as a side note, i've talked here about aegon's relationship with helaena and why he didn't want to marry her in greater detail. he's trying to make aegon feel better (compare this to how later, even eyeless, he tries to make alicent feel better), but is also trying to tell aegon that it's important they as family stick together and do their duties as is demanded of them. i think aemond saying "only" here is less "god i want to sleep with my sister so bad" and more "i wish i could take this burden from you, since i know you dread it."

i've talked about this before here, but aegon and aemond show that they're quite aware of the irony of their birth orders. aemond thrives under the attention and constraints that aegon hates, and aegon thrives under the freedom and obscurity that aemond resents. each is better suited to the other's duties. but very importantly, aemond never tries to change this. he never does so politically, and it wouldn't make sense for him to do personally.

in fire and blood, aegon is indisposed for the better part of a year. while he's down for the count, aemond effectively rules in his stead. but he refuses to call himself a king, and instead styles himself "prince regent." for all that he and aegon talk about aemond being better suited to the crown, when it comes down to it, even with no one there to make him do so, aemond refuses to infringe upon his brother's titles.

if aemond refused to so much as undermine aegon's title in a situation where no one (including aegon) would have blamed him to do so, why on earth would he suddenly abandon his principles and undermine his marriage with helaena (even if aegon and helaena were both willing)? so far as we've seen in the show, aemond has strong values of things like "decency" and "propriety;" he's very much parroted back everything his mother's taught him. and he would never trespass upon his brother's marriage, just as he never trespassed on his brother's title, regardless of his personal feelings.

oh also: i know people use blood and cheese to justify that the kids must have been aemond's. but this ignores that daemon was very much mad at aegon, too: aegon threw a whole party to celebrate lucerys's death. besides, what is up with this idea that the twins need to be aemond's to make blood and cheese awful? it's already literally as awful as possible, on purpose.

tldr: for aemond to be the father of any of helaena's children, you have to completely ignore his character from both the show and the book as it pertains to duty, family, and principle. for him to be the father of jaehaera and jaehaerys in particular, you are hoping that a thirteen year old boy was raped by his sister right around the time he was already being raped by a sex worker.

for my helaemond shippers, i love you and you did nothing wrong. if you want to believe they came to love each other once they were older, then by all means go ahead. i personally believe that a relationship can be meaningful while being platonic, but you do you. just please stop trying to tell me aemond is the kids' father, poor thing has been through enough trauma and is already misunderstood enough

[citrushedgehog]

Deffo not my greatest work and experienced character designers might cringe but uhhh lolirock oc!!!!!!!!! Tried to combine the girl's iconic dresses with the outfits seen on male Ephedians, as well as the non-lolirock characters I took inspo from!!! I've been really into space lately so he's star and space themed... He probably bites people /j

Flags featured: Omnisexual, Trans, Quoiromantic (I'm projecting 😭)

Characters I took inspo from: Battamonda (Hirogaru Sky PreCure), DEX (Vocaloid), and Red Leader (Scrapped design from Eddsworld and Super Average)

My story for him is that his parents abandoned him when he was 5 and Gramorr took him under his wing, but when he was 13 he realized what was going on was bad and peaced out. When he later heard about Mephisto and Gramorr dying and Iris's need to protect Earth from Praxina, he decided to join the princesses as not only revenge but to see someone get the life he wished he had (that someone being Iris and her fight for her homes and family). Because of his upbringing he knows dark magic and helps teach the girls how to easily avoid and fix spells quicker, and even uses it during training to help them understand the severity of it. I have a lot of theories about dark crystal magic that I may share one day but that day is not today--

I'm going to make him a music playlist I can promise that

Anyways, making him was super fun but it's like midnight where I live when I'm posting this and I started at 9!!!!!! SO I'M GOING TO EEP!!!!!

I'm excited to see everyone's opinions lmao

goodnight :3

[cat-downthestreet]

k so. wild crazy crack theory just hit me while I was trying to eep. hear me out

this is probably how I sound rn 👇

So theorists in the Genshin community are very familiar with the 1.1 event Unreconciled Stars. It's brought up a lot because it was a huge deal for the lore. I remember seeing somewhere that the event basically confirmed that Teyvat has a false sky with rocks embedded in it for stars, and some of those stars falling from a certain person's constellation is what caused the meteor shower in the event.

Then... doesn't that mean that Geo and the stars (aka the literal fate of the world) have some sort of connection?

I spent way too much time thinking about this. Some details from other parts of the game stuck out while I was contemplating the theory. For example, the idea that rocks hold memories is not unique to Zhongli's second story quest. I'm pretty sure the idea was subtly explored in Unreconciled Stars. And if rocks hold memories, then doesn't that mean the stars (also rocks embedded in the sky) do, too? Which makes a lot of sense because constellations (which are made of stars, obviously) are how the fate of Vision wielders is determined. I think. Correct me if I'm wrong about that.

So the stars are rocks that hold memories and determine/tell the fate of the world, and rocks = Geo in some ways...

Zhongli what do you know omg

Ortho's Secret Observations

Ortho is a robot, obviously, this is a fact that all people in Twisted Wonderland and us, The Players know. Now look at this :

The fact that Ortho can check a person's pupil dilation, eye movement and pulse is kinda creepy but that's beside the point. Fellow is like, obviously lying lol, but Ortho saying that his pulse and stuff 'were all not in the ranges for lying'

Okay look the original group that Fellow saw was Yuu, Grim, Ace, Floyd, Jade and Jack, Ortho joined the group later along w/ Kalim. Theres no way Fellow could've improvised so easily after seeing theres an actual robot there lol :"]

I've also made another post b4 that talks abt how Playful Land is also known as Phantom Amusement Park, so there might be, well idk, actual phantoms in it????!!!

If we assume that Fellow & Gidel have been doing this shady amusement park scam buisness for a long time now, it would make sense for him to improvise on things like body movement etc.

But also could Fellow be thinking abt something else while talking abt being a star? Like that would go completely under Orthos radar i think? <:

Roddacember Day 17: Solution

"For every problem, a solution. For every poison, an antidote."

"And then, suddenly, something gave way, and the answer was there before his eyes. He saw a jar, held in small webbed hands. The jar was half filled with silvery liquid. As Rowan watched, the liquid changed color, becoming as blue as the sky. The blue changed to green. Then the liquid changed again, losing all color, becoming crystal clear. And a voice spoke."

"To mix the brew that wakes Death Sleep Fill one spread hand with silver deep. In hungry pool moons raise their heads. Pluck one and add the tears it sheds. Stir slowly with new fighter's quill Three times, no more, and let it still. Add venom from your greatest fear - One drop - and then the truth is clear. (quotes from Rowan and the Keeper of the Crystal)

Pretty much the whole of the book is dedicated to the unraveling and creation of this recipe. It's remarkably fitting to the situation, presumably with Death Sleep chosen by the Keeper (spoilers) specifically because its ingredients could all be found on the Island and with a decent level of challenge. And the colours, too, are a clear parallel to the three Maris clans, working together for once.

It's all almost suspiciously fitting. It's not that easy to combine naturally-occurring ingredients and get three different dramatic chemical reactions (indicated by colour change! Remember your chemistry!)

It almost makes me think this potion must be magical in nature. This is all very symbolic stuff, pieces of the same microcosm of an ecosystem in that pool - and there's no real-life chemical that will be ruined by stirring it a fourth time.

That makes this the closest look we've ever had at a bona-fide potion in the world of Deltora. It doesn't have to be a sorcerer doing the crafting, like Tamm and possibly Ava - it can be anyone who knows the proper steps to combine powerful components from the land.

Although, come to think of it... we don't actually know what this one does. A poison really shouldn't require a magic potion to fix it, unless it's some kind of publicly known trial, and it feels unlikely that they would risk bothering the Great Serpent on purpose that frequently.

Perhaps Death Sleep is just devious enough that it needs that, and it deletes a particular chunk of your brain or something, and this brew just grows it back. But I think I have a more elegant theory, knowing the depths of the Keeper's cunning.

Rowan got that rhyme from the Keeper's mind, secretly with their cooperation. It wouldn't be too difficult to change a couple of words. There could be a way simpler, backhand method to cure Death Sleep, which the Keeper would have used shortly before Rowan returned - they even tell him to just smear a tiny amount on Jiller's lips, leaving a whole delectable jar of this stuff for them to keep. And this potion's actual use could be anything sufficiently powerful to justify the risk, that ends in -eep, something that Orin sought to make in his time.

Become sheep? Summon Jeep? Make a flan fit to make a grown Maris weep? I dunno, we don't really have any pointers here, and the rhyme's wording could have just been changed too.

Perhaps there's more to the story hidden in there.

[tallyhoot]

how the hell do people even do anything while sick

cuz I’ve just been sitting on the couch watching a ton of game theory, eating a bunch of icy poles, and eeping

[dxncingwithastrxnger]

OKAY

remember that post i made a while ago of Trislance headcanons? Think you reblogged it. Buuut I mentioned Tristan being absolutely ticklish.

Which Lance finds out

They’ll be cuddling,and Lancelot absentmindedly traces his fingers over the princes soft skin,when he hears a muffled giggle,looking over.

Tristan has a hand pressed to his mouth,a smile trying to sneak onto his face. Lancelot looks confused and realizes,starting to grin slowly

“Aww,is someone ticklish~?”

Tristan shakes his head stubbornly,repressing laugher,feeling warm fingers slowly stroke and poke his sides,teasingly

Idk,I feel he would be and Lancelot takes advantage to hear his cute laugh,cheer him up or tease him

AKAKSKWLQW

Okay, wait, no, hold on a sec, lemme just:

Lancelot turned his head as he heard Tristan sigh softly beside him. He looked down at his boyfriend and couldn't help but smile at the look of utter content on the other boy's face. The two of them were cuddled up together, laying in the grass in the middle of the castle gardens. The sun was high in the sky above them and the air was warm, but a slight breeze kept them from overheating.

They had been there for awhile, having decided to have a day just for the two of them since there wasn't really anything that either of them had to do today. They were both completely relaxed and at ease, something that could really only be achieved around each other nowadays, and neither had any plans of moving anytime soon.

Lancelot was laying on his back, one arm stretched out across the ground beside him and the other wrapped around Tristan's waist. Tristan was laying on his side, his head resting against Lancelot's shoulder and his legs tangled with Lancelot's. His eyes were closed and he had a sweet, little smile on his face.

Lancelot lifted up his free hand and reached over to gently push a piece of Tristan's long hair out of his face and behind his ear. Tristan hummed softly and opened his eyes, blinking a few times as his eyes adjusted to the light, before looking right at the blonde-haired boy holding him.

"Hey." He says softly.

"Hey." Lancelot says.

They both fell silent again, just staring at each other for a few minutes, before Tristan suddenly giggled. Lancelot's heart fluttered at such a beautiful sound, even as he asked, "What are you giggling about?"

Tristan then reached up and pulled something out of Lancelot's hair before showing it to him. "You had a piece of grass stuck in your hair." He giggled again as he tossed it away from them.

Lancelot chuckled softly at his amusement. "You're so strange." He tells him.

Tristan wrinkled his nose slightly. "Says you."

Lancelot grins. "Exactly. I said it just now."

Tristan rolls his eyes and shakes his head at him playfully, reaching his hand towards Lancelot's and intertwining their fingers together. "Whatever you say, Lance." He says before closing his eyes again and going back to the same state he was in before. Lancelot just shakes his own head before doing the same for awhile.

Eventually, though, Tristan starts to squirm slightly, and at first Lancelot didn't even notice it, but once he did, his brows furrowed. Tristan's position had changed slightly. His head was now turned inwards, his face completely hidden, and he was curled up slightly against Lancelot's side.

Lancelot was about to ask what was wrong when he finally heard it. Muffled giggles. This only confused him more at first. Why was he...? And as Lancelot surveyed the boy, he realized that when Tristan had reached into his hair earlier, his shirt had ridden up slightly, and Lancelot had been absentmindedly tracing small shapes into his bare side.

Lancelot raised an eyebrow, a grin slowly spreading across his face as a theory forms in his head. Deciding to test that theory, he stops his tracing and instead starts wiggling the tips of his fingers against the Prince's side purposely.

Tristan lets out a small, "Eep!" And tries to twist his side away from Lancelot's fingers. Lancelot's grin turns into a mischievous smirk as he does it again, pressing his fingers more firmly into Tristan's side. Tristan lets out a shriek of laughter as he pulls his face out of Lancelot's shoulder and twists again, this time trying to roll away from him.

"Oh, no, you don't!" Lancelot exclaims as he rolls over and reaches for Tristan with both hands, immediately reaching for the silver-haired boy's sides with wiggling fingers and starts tickling him.

Tristan squeals and immediately starts trying to push Lancelot's hands off and wiggle away from him. "No! No! Get off me!" Tristan yells at him, his head thrown back and his face scrunched up from his laughter.

Lancelot doesn't let up, keeping up his attack. "What's the magic word~?" He asks, unable to hold his own amusement in as he does, laughing softly.

"You a-asshole!" Tristan exclaims incredulously, his laughter causing him to stutter.

"You gotta say it~." Lancelot urges, moving his hands slightly higher on Tristan's sides, closer to his ribs, and was rewarded with another squeal and doubled efforts to get him to move away.

"S-st-star! Star!" Tristan shouted out. Lancelot continued tickling him for just a moment more before finally pulling his hands away, allowing both Tristan and himself to catch their breaths. Once they finally did, Tristan glared at Lancelot, though it lacked any actual heat.

Lancelot just grinned at him as he laid back down in the grass, pulling Tristan close to him once more. This caused Tristan's expression to turn into a pout instead and Lancelot just chuckled softly before planting a sweet kiss on his pouting lips, causing the pout to finally upturn into a smile once more. The two of them cuddled up again and went back to exactly what they had been doing before, just lost in their own little world.

OFMD season 1 and 2 spoiler-ish musing ahead:

Ok, so I've seen fan theories that speculate on the possibility of Jim and Oluwande ending their relationship in season 2. Fueled partially by Jim's bittersweet expression in this still, and partially by reviews like this one that mention their "sweet slow burn" being "snuffed out," some folks are preparing themselves for a breakup. Others are hoping for some more ethical nonmonogamous rep with the introduction of a new partner for Jim without ending their relationship with Olu. I've been having Thoughts and Feelings about it, and I just wanted to get them out before S2E1 drops in less than 24 hours. (Eep!)

If Jim and Olu decide to end their romantic relationship, I'd be ok with it. Don't get me wrong, I adore their dynamic in season one. Oluwande accepts and cares about Jim throughout their season-long gender journey. And, there seems to be friendship, romantic feelings, and physical attraction on both their parts. It makes my heart happy when they finally get to express all of that with each other.

But, Oluwande doesn't seem entirely comfortable with Jim's chaotic tendencies. He worries and frets over Jim's decision to infiltrate Jackie's bar to get their family dagger back. Jim resorts to distracting Olu so they can sneak away to attempt to achieve their goal. They're not working as a team here. Oluwande has placed himself in the role of protector, not partner. Jim is rebelling against this dynamic instead of trying to resolve it.

From the clips and stills I've seen so far, Jim's (apparently) new partner is more similar to them in temperament than Olu. And, Jim seems to be flourishing. We see them being a badass pirate, having fun at a party, and feeling confident enough to talk to Izzy about his relationship with Blackbeard. Whether or not this transformation has anything to do with their new relationship remains to be seen. But, in short, Jim seems happy.

So, even though I would be sad for the both of them, I'm ok with an end to the Jim/Oluwande ship. I'm hoping that their friendship will continue, though. That short clip of all three wearing garlic garlands gives me hope that's what happens.

Anyway here's my Licorice Cookie Headcannons.

(This is my head cannon design for him. I made the edit.)

Backstory.

-Licorice was born into the Licorice tribe; A tribe that prides its magicians and known for its strict manner. Which slowly caused a resentment of the tribe to grow inside of him.

-The Licorice tribe has been the victim of extreme prejudice for the Cacao kingdom due to its relation with the Licorice sea. This caused Licorice to hate all other Cacao tribes, specifically the milk tribe.

-Licorice's mother was neglectful of him, mostly letting him live off of history, magic and fairytale books.

-As he grew Licorice began to strive to become a famous wizard in history. And with that, his expectations for himself grew out of control.

-After finding Dark Enchantress and getting information of a growing party-The COD- Licorice turned to the Dark arts because of his insecurity.

-In his kingdom, it is highly illegal to practice Dark magic. And is punishable by a type of crucifixion. So, when found out, Licorice would be persecuted. The way was by a cursed dagger, that from impact (such as a slash.) Would set you aflame. However, after two stabs Licorice would stay alive.

-Loosing himself, Licorice brought a storm upon the Licorice tribe which would destroy the entire village. Aswell as killing all the residents, some he killed personally.

-His mother had cursed him before he murdered her. A curse that slowly killed and corrupted him, his killer being his own magic. Licorice is very much aware of this curse. Infact, he has the curse tattooed on his wrist as a joke.

Alr that's over, here's some semi important trivia.

-Licorice has tried his hardest to recreate life with pure magic. This, being represented when reviving his dead cat (That would become Bat-cat.) Then, creating his best project; Poison Mushroom Cookie. Licorice *grew* Mushroom, and serves as their father figure. He is very protective over them.

-Licorice has a SMALL obsession with Red Velvet Cookie.

-Licorice currently has a "project" going on involving resurrection. He wants to perfect his craft, and make it simple. So he will either grave rob or simply kidnap cookies (typically Red Velvet's enemies.) To test his theories.

-Licorice plans every kidnap, with from what tools to what the air must smell like.

-Licorice has undiagnosed OCD and Autism.

-The reason why Licorice is obsessed with Red Velvet is-first he wanted to power of dating his bosses son.-yet it slowly turned to a romantic obsession as their relationship progressed. What started this obsession was the first time Licorice met Red Velvet. He would taunt and built him until Red Velvet diddled him...

Alright here's the nonimportant trivia.

-IDGAF About the bts update Licorice loves metal with his dying soul.

-Licorice has a terrible sleep schedule, like seriously, he goes to bed at 3 am. (His" job "requires him to wake up at 5.)

-His role -which is rather low- is a scout. Yet at first he was a bodyguard..But that obviously failed terribly.

-Licorice melts when he sweats or gets extremely stressed. It isn't like his skin falling off, but he'll feel his body dribble and shit or smth.

-Licorice has a insecurity about his masculinity, but also embraces it at times.

-Licorice loves to cross dress- privately of course. Yet he'll possibly take photos of himself crossdressing.

-He creates the majority of his clothes because of his sewing hobby.

-There's this large x shaped scar on his chest, nobody asks about it anymore. But if they do its a apparent "exile scar."

-Licorice swears he's straight despite his love for Red Velvet. Infact he's a lil bit homophobic at times when people push into the idea of him being into men.

-Licorice has a tattoo of the Licorice Sea on his thigh (that moves up to his hips.)

-Licorice is VERY tall. This is because he wears bigass boots.

I might update this or maybe another whole ass post about more, but I'm too tired too and I'm gonna eep. Gn.
