Watching an analysis on orin and i wanna write out or draw smth about orin and deimos' relationship but idk how to present it really

[starsxblazing]

Hi friend! I had an idea that perhaps you could bring to life. Its an azriel x reader. Where shes a seamstress for Rhys, she makes all his suits and all the beautiful gowns and dresses for the girls to wear. She even makes their leathers for fighting. I imagine one of them or maybe a few of them make a comment on how she's no one important and kinda belittles her work cuz shes just a seamstress. Rhys brings all 3 males to be measured for suits and azriel is getting flushed as readers kneeling to measure the length of his pants and the slit for his wings. Rhys sees Azriel blush and gives him a stern look shaking his head like "not this one." She doesnt look them in they eye, and rhys doesnt tell azriel anything about her. Like shes rhys best kept secret. Reader feels like the IC is so much better than her and thats why they sometimes say mean things (maybe someone asks elain where her dress is from and she just scoffs like "this old thing") but its actually a protective rhys trying to keep her safe cuz she reminds him so much of his deceased sister. Bond snaps but readers so insecure she wants to decline. Sorry this was so long. Lol. Just trying to get the jist of it out. Non important seamstress reader, flushed azriel, brother like rhys. The end. 🤣🤣🤣

a/n: I really hope that I did your request justice! It was so cute writing a shy Azriel

Unnoticed

You sat at the front desk of the shop to place your order for your inventory, sighing to yourself as your eyes momentarily moved around the small store that you owned. It wasn’t anything special and was small compared to the many others in the city. There were so many other places that would be preferred by the citizens but this was your passion and refused to give up on it. The bell on the door rang and you looked up with a hopeful smile that turned into a grin when you saw who was striding in.

“Hey!” you started happily, thankful to see such a familiar face. “It feels like forever since I’ve seen you.”

“I will make it a top priority to come visit when it isn’t just for your services,” he chuckled.

“And what is it that I can do for the all mighty High Lord?” A giggle at his playful frown escaped you. “I’ve been looking forward to the new things that you always request.”

“We have a visit to the Day Court and it would be nice to have some new attire for the ball that Helion will be hosting.”

“That sounds so nice,” you sighed dreamily. “The same sizes as last time?”

“The females, yes.” He gave you a smile that was full of love and admiration that nearly brought tears to your eyes. “However, Azriel and Cassian will need to be measured since they usually do not wear this particular form of attire.”

“Just let me know when you’re ready and I’ll have everything set up.” You searched through the files under your desk to pull out the Inner Circles information. “I can go ahead and get what you have in mind so I can get it done in time.”

Rhysand gave you a small smile, the adoration still shining in his eyes. You were never sure why he looked at you in such a way but you appreciated it anyway. He was the only thing that came close to a friend since there were times where he would stay with you and talk for hours before departing again. You had no family since they were lost in the war but you were thankful that you had been able to take refuge in Velaris.

There were times when the High Lord would try to offer to move you into a larger store in a better part of the city. It was a sweet offer but you felt as if it was charity and you didn’t want any pity. The Night Court black that was used was always beautiful to you and your friend seemed to like the little details that you added to make it stand out a bit more while still fitting his court. 

Your store stayed in business simply because of Rhysand’s orders for his family because you made everything for them. He always assured you that they loved their dresses and gowns but there was always an emotion in his eyes that you couldn’t place when he did so. Despite that, you always put everything that you had into it. His family was important and special. All of them were nothing like you. Just a little nobody that had nothing but your little shop to keep you busy.

It wasn’t until three hours later that the High Lord left did you realize just how alone that you truly were. You wished that you had a family like he did but you forced your mind to remember how happy that you were for him. There were so many that you had come across in your life that only had half of what he did and even then, there wasn’t much happiness in it.

The next day, you made your way out to begin your search for the things that you would be able to find in town when you saw someone you recognized. It was one of the High Lady’s sisters but you weren’t sure which one it was. You did your best to not be noticed as the female spoke to another one but you were pretty sure that you wouldn’t be. 

“Where did you get your dress, Elain?” the female asked.

“This old thing?” Elain looked down at her dress, one that you had made, with her nose scrunched in distaste. “It came from some nobody seamstress. Rhys has never told us anything else.”

“Well, I think it’s beautiful.” The female’s head tilted slightly with a raised eyebrow. “It seems like you don’t like it.”

“It’s definitely not my favorite,” Elain huffed, scrunching her nose in the process.

Unable to hear anymore of the conversation, you turned and darted back to your shop. So many feelings had hit you all at once and you weren’t sure where to start as you began sobbing once you were in the safety of the building that you also lived in. You began doubting yourself and the work that you loved while also wondering if the male that you considered your friend has been lying to you all of this time. 

Even though you had cried yourself to sleep in the early afternoon, you were still unable to pull yourself out of bed the next morning. You could barely hear the knock on the front door but you ignored it. You had already felt like no one of any importance but the words that you had overheard only proved it. Not only was it from a customer but also from someone who would be able to destroy what tiny bit of name that you had for yourself in the city within an instant. Facing Rhysand again would be one of the hardest things that you had to do in a long time but you refused to let him down.

You allowed yourself to mope in bed for the remainder of the day in hopes that you would feel a bit better the next day. No sooner than you opened your store, the bell rang and you felt the High Lord’s power throughout the entirety of the small building.

Azriel had felt a bit frustrated when his brother dragged him out of bed and rushed him through his breakfast. He wasn’t sure what the hurry was, not seeing the big deal in getting fitted for new suits and leathers. In truth, he did need them but he felt as if it could’ve waited until a bit later in the day. His High Lord had a hint of eagerness to him that wasn’t so present unless it came to his mate or son.

He was only annoyed further when they arrived at what he could swear was the smallest shop in the entire city and there was no answer even after Rhysand had all but beat the door down. The store couldn’t even be considered to be in the district where most of the stores were but he was somewhat relieved because he was able to spend the rest of his day as he wanted.

Rhysand did the same thing the following day which had both him and Cassian grumbling about doing the same thing two days in a row. Thankfully, the store was open and his brother walked in as if he owned the place with a small smile on his face.

“Is everything alright?” Rhys asked the female at the front desk hesitantly, a hint of worry in his voice. “We came by as planned but there was no answer.”

“I had some business to take care of,” you muttered, causing him and Cassian to glance at each other in confusion. 

Neither of them knew who you were nor even knew of the business that was being run here. He watched carefully as you gathered what was needed and even though you carried yourself in a confident manner, you kept your eyes downcast. It was as if you didn’t have it in you to look them in the eyes. You had obviously done so with his brother but it appeared as if it wasn’t the case today.

From what he could see, he could tell that you were beautiful but what would confirm it the most would be some form of eye contact. He watched you carefully as you started with Cassian, fully committed to doing your job to perfection. You started with his other brother’s legs for his height and he only saw a smirk pulling on Cassian’s lips that he was trying to hold back. For reasons unknown to Azriel, it had him frowning and almost bristling at the sight.

You continued on with your work in silence except for a hum here or there when the High Lord asked you questions as if you didn’t want to speak to any of them. It wasn’t until you moved to him did he truly pay attention to you. He wasn’t sure why but the sight of you on your knees in front of him, with your notebook in hand, had heat creeping onto his face. The quietest snicker came from Cassian who had moved behind him. When he turned to glare at him, he noticed a stern look on Rhysand’s face that had his eyebrows furrowing.

Azriel’s body stiffened when your fingers brushed lightly against him to take other measures. He sucked in a quiet breath when you moved behind him to measure the slits for his wings and your fingers just barely grazed them. It sent a jolt of what felt like electricity through him. He cursed himself silently because it wasn’t the first time that his wings had been touched but there was something about yours that nearly had him wanting more of the contact.

He was slightly disappointed when you were finished too quickly for his liking and moved to Rhysand. You still kept your eyes downcast from all of them and it seemed to have the slightest frown tugging at the High Lord’s lips. Cassian continued to watch as if he too was wondering what was going on. 

“Everything should be ready in three weeks if that’s alright,” you said, giving Rhysand the briefest glance before returning to your desk.

Rhys ushered them out quickly and was unusually quiet. If he didn’t know any better, he’d say that he was brooding. Neither Cassian nor himself knew anything about you so they weren’t sure what to say but his own curiosity got the better of him.

“Who is she?”

“No one for you to be concerned about,” the High Lord answered. “And you will stay away from her.”

He was given a stern glance but he could note the protective fondness in his eyes. It only caused him to wonder more but he kept quiet on the matter.

You were thankful for the time being that you didn’t have a lot of customers. The work of making suits and gowns for seven people would take a while but you were thankful that it gave you a break from your thoughts. You didn’t waste any waking hour, putting your greatest effort into it all in hopes that the gowns would be appreciated more.

A week had passed faster than you had originally imagined that it would and the only break in your concentration was the bell to your shop opening for the second time during the time. You shouldn’t have been surprised to see Rhysand before you, a small frown on his face as he looked down at you.

“As promised, I have come to spend some quality time with the most beautiful seamstress that I know,” he said with a grin that contradicted the caution in his eyes.

“You come to visit or check on my progress?” you asked, eyeing him for a moment before returning your work.

“As I said, I’ve come to visit,” he repeated gently. “Are you alright? You’re acting differently.”

“Fine,” you answered a bit too quickly to be believable. 

“I apologize when I say that I do not believe you.” There was a worried frown on his face that made your heart clench and tears almost formed in your eyes. “Talk to me.”

“I just..” You trailed off, unsure what to say or how to say it. “Why does it matter? I’m just trying to balance everything.”

It was a lie and they both knew it. There was worried determination on his face and you knew that he wouldn’t let it go but you couldn’t bring yourself to tell him what happened. It could possibly cause a divide or rift between the family that you thought so highly of and you couldn’t have that.

“You’re evading,” he replied flatly before his face softened when he gripped your chin lightly to keep your attention on him. “I don’t like seeing you like this.”

“Your family is very important,” you muttered. “I just want to be sure that I make everything perfectly. There’s so many ideas going through my head and I’m just trying to be sure to keep it all together.”

“You are no less important than any of us.” His matter of fact words paired with his gentle smile had a small one forming on your face as well. “As a matter of fact, you are just as important if not more so than my entire family combines.”

“Why?” You moved out of his grip and stared at him flatly. “Look at m-”

“I do see you. Every single time I come in here.” Rhysand continued with a charming smile that caused you to huff. “There is nothing wrong with you.”

“Then why-” You stopped short, reminding yourself to not give into your emotions. “I have Feyre’s gown completed and this one that I’m almost finished with is for Nesta. Do you want to see?”

He nodded with a grin and followed you to a separate room in the back where you kept the outfits that you made. You watched him carefully for his reaction as he stared at the gown and then blew out a silent breath of relief at the genuine smile on his face.

“It’s beautiful,” he said, turning to grin brightly at you. “She will love it and this just may become her new preferred gown.”

“Promise?” you asked tentatively while you tried to decipher if he was lying or not.

“On my mate’s life,” he answered as a look of adoration etched into his features once again. 

“Is there anything that I should change about Amren’s, Mor’s, Nesta’s or..” You swallowed hard, the action not going unnoticed by the High Lord. “Elain’s? I want everything to be absolutely perfect for everyone for such an important event.”

“No.” He shook his head but the certainty in his eyes was answer enough. “I look forward to seeing what the rest look like.”

“I’ve made these my top priority so the leathers-”

“Can wait until you’re finished with these,” he replied. “What they have now will work until later.”

“Okay,” you whispered, gripping onto the kind reassurances to push you through your self deprecating thoughts before he pulled you into a tight embrace.

“I wish there was a way to make you realize just how special you are,” he muttered, squeezing tighter to emphasize it. “You remind me so much of my sister.”

Your eyes filled with tears immediately because it was no secret about what happened to his mother and sister. The fact that had such a high opinion of you that he would compare you to someone so important to him had you sobbing. He simply held you until your tears finally ceased and stayed with you for a few hours before returning to his court duties.

By the time that the door shut behind him, you felt a bit better but knew that you would never compare to any of them.

Azriel wasn’t able to keep his mind off of you while they waited for their new suits and gowns for the upcoming ball. He wasn’t sure why but despite his High Lord’s orders, he walked past your shop every so often to simply get a glimpse of you. Only once did he get a full view of your face and it took his breath away as he saw you smile at the only customer that he had noted that you had.

It was reaching the three week mark that you had given his brother and he was itching to ask the High Lord if he would let him retrieve the order. His gut told him that Rhysand wouldn’t allow it. He wasn’t sure why you were kept such a tight secret from all of them but Azriel knew that his brother meant it when he had given the order to stay away from you. 

“I can’t go with you today.” Azriel stopped just outside of the study, listening to Rhys as he spoke to Cassian. “I have to leave in a couple of hours to pick up our outfits for our trip to Day Court.”

“I don’t understand why none of us-”

“As I’ve said,” the High Lord growled, his voice low and almost deadly. “You need not worry about her.”

“Yea but she-”

“Is not a topic of discussion.”

The snappy tone of their brother had Cassion falling quiet on the topic but Azriel’s curiosity about you wouldn’t let him sit idly by. It was almost as if he was being pulled towards you and he couldn’t ignore it. He slipped out as silently as he had come in and disobeyed Rhysand’s orders. Even though the plan had already been arranged, Azriel wasn’t bothered with the anger that would surely ensue about him taking the initiative that was purely personal.

The bell on your store’s door sounded as he entered but you were so focused on your work that you didn’t notice his presence until he cleared his throat. You jumped from your stool, startled from the noise before you finally looked at him. It felt like the entire world stopped when you both made eye contact and he felt the one thing that he was beginning to believe that he would never have.

Your eyes went wide and you stumbled backwards, tripping over your stool and fell to the ground in surprise as the golden thread connected the two of you. He rushed as fast as he could through the small area, his wings knocking some items over even though his wings were tucked in tightly behind him. A breath of relief escaped him when you didn’t recoil from him when he reached to help you up.

“I- I don’t- What?” you gasped through heavy breaths as you stood.

“I’m- I’m sorry,” he stuttered, unsure what to say since he didn’t know what you were thinking. 

“No. Don’t be. I just..” You took a deep breath before fully looking at him again. “I wasn’t expecting that.”

Your words barely registered in his mind as he stared back at you, your beauty captivating him the longer that he did so. There were so many things that he wanted to say but at the same time being unsure since he didn’t know you. No sooner than he could open his mouth to reassure you, the front door opened and he felt the High Lord’s power filling the store. His brother was angry beyond belief with him.

“Y/N, would you mind stepping outside for a moment while I have a word with my spymaster.”

Azriel could feel the uncertainty and anger flowing off of you but you nodded after swallowing audibly. Once you were out in the streets, Rhysand had him by the collar of his shirt and shoved him harshly into the wall. There was nothing but pure, unadulterated anger on his brother’s face.

“Did I or did I not tell you to stay away from her?” Rhys growled.

“Yes but-”

“But what, Azriel?” he snapped at him. “Are you simply attracted to females that I insist on you staying away from?”

“It isn’t like that,” he tried. “Why are you so insistent on no one knowing about her? None of us even knew that she existed until now.”

“Because I want to protect her.” Azriel was released before Rhysand took a few steps back. “She reminds me too much of my sister and I refuse to let anything happen to her. If that means keeping all of you clueless to her existence then that is what I will do.”

Azriel’s thought began flooding in all at once, making it hard to keep up with what his shadows were whispering and the things that he wanted to say. He understood now what his High Lord’s motivations were but there was no way that he could let his mate go. Not after finally finding it after the centuries that he had waited for it. As he went to explain what had happened, the door opened again and it had your scent filling the room.

“I don’t want to be the reason that there’s trouble,” you mumbled as you looked at your feet.

“You are not-”

“We’re mates,” Azriel said, interrupting Rhys.

The High Lord’s eyes widened when he swirled around to look at him. There was uncertainty in them while he stared at him before looking back at the female that he held in such high regards. For the first time in a long time, his brother was speechless and Azriel was honestly shocked. 

“I don’t deserve it,” you continued, finally looking up with tear filled eyes. “I don’t deserve someone as special and amazing as he is.”

“Why?” he asked in a raspy voice.

“You- All of you-” You paused, taking a deep breath. “You’re all so much better than me to the point that some of my dresses aren’t even liked.”

“What do you mean, Y/N?”

Your eyes switched between Rhysand and himself before stopping on the former. The tears that began flowing down your face made him unable to not go to you, placing his hands on each cheek in hopes of calming you.

“I heard Elain telling someone that she didn’t like-”

“Screw her and her opinion,” he growled before apologizing when your eyes went wide.

“There is a dress in particular that she isn’t the most fond of,” Rhys answered and you looked around him to gaze at the High Lord. “It is the only one and she simply doesn’t care for certain parts of the style. It has nothing to do with you or how amazing that your work is. It is simply a personal problem.”

“She said I was a nobody,” you sniffled, the words causing his body to shake slightly in anger. 

“That’s my fault.” Your brows furrowed at Rhys’s words. “You’re an amazing female and I didn’t want to risk putting you into danger by letting all of them know who you are.”

“But I-”

“Give us a chance,” Azriel whispered, pulling your eyes back to his. “Please.”

“Why don’t we start with the upcoming ball?” Rhys gave you a small smile when you looked at him cautiously. “It’d be a high honor for my shadowsinger to have you by his side.”

“It would,” he agreed.

Your bright smile in return for his words sent his heart fluttering and a rare, genuine smile adorned his face. He knew right then and there that there was nothing that he wouldn’t do to keep that smile on your face. 

It was the start of something new that he couldn’t wait to see unfold.

pls read ik its long sorry but ćrę3p alert!!!

okay so basically these 4 acc are the same person, you might know them as the wàttpàd link person, they are going around rèpòrtìng people (if you got an anon 'reported' in your inbox that was them) especially if you side with me or høney or just criticise them or even engage with any of my responses to their asks (my bestie who literally only uses her acc to interact with me and doesn't post anything reblogged my answer to them yesterday and got anon 'rèpòrted' in her inbox like 3 minutes after that hmmmm i wonder who that was since she literally doesnt engage with anyone else but me and her acc is literally blank with just a few of my posts reblogged hmmm)

the list of the accounts I know of for easy copy and paste into search (just replace the first number in the name with the letter) if you cant search fro them there should be links to their posts in the comments, some ppl cant find them through search even tho they are not blóćkęd by them just heads up

l1ttlereader2024

m0lasseslasts

blu3b3rryl0v3sblgg3sttarg3t (used to be pr3ttyinpink2028 and then gymg0er4life and then 4ndanotherchange )

gr0tesquefreakkkk

they claim they are different ppl, they even 'talk' to each other in comments sections but some of the accounts are literally brand new and only follow/post about each other

the molasses one even has this rancid 'but I hate honey' line in the intro post, this is clearly just honey stälk1ng/hàr4ssmeņt account (honey got these two asks one after another)

it also seems that they are crosstagging across their blog? (on the reader acc) because some posts are tagged with the new jęlly tags but then others are tagged with i think the ręcóvry versions of the jęly tag? (not to mention they are also using hóneydet tag to promote their story)

I'm not telling you to bĺòck/rèpoŕt for me or honey (bc I'm pretty sure we got rèpòrtèd to he1l already lol I don't think there's any way to save our souls now) but literally bc they just jump people and spam repòrtŝ until the acc gets got - and just fyi we were cool until we rejected/ignored their fvckasś links - for someone who's so adamant about the fact that we are pro or whatever or just the satan himself you were quite persistent while begging us over and over again to make boards/dets/posts about the characters in your story so which one is it are we cool or are we the worst thing that happened to this side of the blr huh like you can't like us only when you need smth from us love you literally followed me like a stray dog here across all of my previous account you literally sent me the link to this acc back when it was still empty and intended as a bàckùp like

in conclusion this is stąłkęr behaviour, whenever me or honey błóck them suddenly a new acc that got made 10 minutes ago pops up and spams our inboxes and the only acc the new acc follows are these 4 i mentioned pls blóćk, pępórt and ręblóg so people can protect their blogs from this person whatever their end goal is

𝐇𝐘𝐔𝐍𝐆 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄

↳ find maknae line’s version here

june’s masterlist

nini says💬: two posts in a row …… #girlboss #girlwrites :p hope you enjoy this one !!<3

𝐇𝐄𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐔𝐍𝐆

this man is in love with her her height, for real

to heeseung, june is literally the perfect height: not too short but not too tall. perfect to lean a little bit and place his chin on her shoulder <33

june: *checking stuff after the soundcheck* / heeseung: *quickly walks towards her, wraps an arm around her waist and rests his chin on her shoulder* *smiles like a lovesick fool*

also loves to put an arm around her shoulder and rest his head against hers (he becomes weak when june hugs his waist with her own arm🤧🤧) (mind you, they always walk side by side like this☝️ we love bestfriends)

he sometimes ever presses his cheek against her just because he can *cue that cheek to cheek selca hee posted on memories on weverse* heejune shippers cried.

and when she wears heels??? and becomes taller?????? almost reaching his forehead??? he’s completely gone

heeseung in his head whenever he sees her with heels: gorgeous. perfect. beautiful. breathtaking. please marry me. 💐

𝐉𝐀𝐘

jay doesn’t care at all, honestly. she could be taller than him and he’d still be head over heels for her protective with her

but he’s still more protective because she’s shorter than him. and man… the #HandPlacement 🤧🤧

puts a hand on her shoulder whenever they’re at the airport to guide her whenever it gets crowded, a hand on her lower back (DJSLSKS😭) whenever he opens a door for her and lets her in first (a gentleman)

or sometimes… a hand on her hip (rip every minjay shipper out there with that sound of prada pic…) whenever he’s beside her

he’s probably never going to admit it out loud… but he loves being taller. june is easier to hug and for him to place kisses on her temple (#bye)

but in all honesty, jay is just… whipped for her. he sees june as he’s immediately *dreamy sigh*, so as i said earlier: either if she’s shorter or taller, he definitely has it bad bad for her – but he also loves seeing her with heels. who doesn’t?

𝐉𝐀𝐊𝐄

jake discovered something the day he met june

one: he’s really into british accent, and two: he’s really into tall girls (maybe he’s just… really into june😭)

and even if june sometimes teases him because he’s not that tall, or tells him that she could keep him in her pocket– does he minds? of course not‼️

june sometimes teases him when he gets the insoles from the stylists, and she’s like ‘mate how did you grow five cm in less than five mins?’, this man is always 😍😍😍😁😁😁 ‘it’s just the insoles noona~’ like HE DOESNT MIND !!! AT ALL

he actually loves that she’s almost as tall as him because he always hugs her without needing to bend down (because he’s clingy CLINGY to her), or simply moves closer and rests his temple on hers🥲🥲 intertwines their arms together and he’s just… happy <3 happy with his tall girl

another one that absolutely loves when she wears heels, even if she becomes taller than him and slightly towers over him,,,, jake is like ??? my legs might give out i’m going to faint …. she’s so breathtaking beautiful gorgeous–

this is a real MAN 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️!!!

𝐒𝐔𝐍𝐆𝐇𝐎𝐎𝐍

probably the only one on the hyung line that teases her about her height😭😭

literally appears in front of her, puts a hand over his eyes as if he was looking for someone, and goes “has someone seen minjunnie noona?” and june is like 😐😐 haha. so funny…. and he ends up giggling at his own joke and hugging her

but he’s clingy. clingy, extremely clingy. he doesn’t care about anything else– he just loves that june is tall but she’s shorter than him (does it make sense???🫨)

literally like jake: he discovered he had a thing for tall girls after he met june– but he also loves the fact that she’s not that tall…… she’s easier to pick up. to play with her hair. to hug. to protect and to make fun of her😭😭😭

in all honesty, he loves coming behind her and place a hand on whatever thing it’s there. like, june is resting against a wall? there he goes and places a hand besides her head (almost like caging her BYEEJSKAK) or she’s leaning on a counter, and he appears and places a hand on that freaking. counter. right at her side ,,,,, he takes it as a chance to move and lean closer to her<3 because he loves being there with her at her side

the pic you see on the banner??? a fan site that only focus on junehoon posted it on x and surprise??? three days later IT BECAME SUNGHOON’S LOCKSCREEN🥹🥹

Before I get to the goods I wanted to point out something that made me laugh:

Wendy has often said in the game how much she admires Laxus’ kinder side (not her calling him the gay uncle of the guild) but whenever she does so MIRA almost always reminds her and the player that ‘nah i remember when u did this shit back in 2009’ ITS SO FUNNY

youre so right lucy the thunder legion DOES love him im so sick of them /aff (if i dont see them soon i will make it on international news)

THUNDER LEGION FORMATION CRUMBS????

i always did wanna learn how they got to be together and though i know the gaiden had its own interpretation i wondered how else it could have happened, and this is a very interesting and different approach the way FREED is the one who wants to fight laxus first (angry freed????? CAN I SEE????)

i have so many questions like?? why did he get so angry??? did laxus break a rule that enraged him?? like maybe threatening the safety of others??? did freed give laxus a good fight?? were bixlow and evergreen involved at this point??? and what does that mean freed only wanted laxus for his strength???? elaborate??????

OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD

mira is so funny the way she can quickly uncover laxus' facade of trying to stay tough and hard, in the source material + game she's always been the anchor of staying true to one's feelings. in other words, she's all "aaaaaaahhh i caught you caring"

elfman catching laxus blushing too HAHAHA his whiteness will work against him. (also- manhood????? was there no other word they could have used???)

NOT TOO MUCH ON THE THUNDER LEGION LUCY??? to be fair i also love gift giving, i love to give my friends lots of little things i know they'll love so i don't see the "obsessiveness" of this.

MY TAKEAWAYS:

Mirajane Strauss will forever be Laxus' greatest opp (undefeated streak)

the Thunder Legion are the best gift givers in the guild, they're the equivalent of the rich aunties who want to spoil you rotten

I want to see no more Freed characterization calling him a pushover or cheerleader for Laxus, he's literally the one consistently defying his arrogance ON AND OFF SCREEN🗣️

Laxus and the Thunder Legion are private people, but everyone can see their love and devotion to each other and I think that's so beautiful

If I don't see new Thunder Legion content soon WHERE I CAN ACTUALLY SEE THEM another CEO will pay for it

okie dokie does a Dean Winchester x reader fic work? Had an idea way back in s1 when jess first dies, (older sister, who kinda takes sam under her wing) reader ended up meeting dean through sam. They had similar personalities but (reader) was more of a hopeless romantic than Dean. Sam on the other hand could totally see them together but Dean always denied it.

“Stop eyeing her like she's a piece of steak, you creep” “The hell? I do not do that, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

so they left ca and travelled and maybe in s2-3 (doesnt have to be accurate) they end up back in ca because of a case or cause reader called sam for help. (not expecting dean to show up as well) and after shes not in danger, turns out they get along really well.

"Im not an arm rest, dean." "Mhm, then why are you so short?" "I'M 5'3 THATS NORMAL"

and just fluff..? idk man let me know if its not what you want to write, i can totally change it💜

not a steak (dean winchester x f!reader)

↳ masterlist  ↳ ship exchange ↳ taglist ↳ 1k celebration

wow remember when i could actually write things in a timely manner? yeah, me neither. i miss those days (that never existed). whomp whomp.

You don't necessarily remember the exact moment that you met Sam. He's been a constant in your life since you were his TA as an undergraduate, watching this freakishly tall freshman so eager to succeed in your class. He made your heart soft, and he made you feel protective. Even though he was so much bigger than you, a naivety in his persona made you take extra time to ensure he succeeded. He ended up getting an A in the class.

You do remember when you met Dean, however. You had heard stories of Dean from Sam the few times you'd catch lunch outside of school. By this point, you were a grad student, filling the void of the older sibling that Sam unconsciously needed filled. You never pried for too many details, and that's how you got people to shut up really fast. But you did meet Dean right as he left town to look for his Dad. Dean was coarse and dismissive of you as if you were just another roadblock stopping him from taking his brother. When you finally got his attention, it was just to size you up before wordlessly climbing into his car. Sam seemed apologetic, but mostly, you were just worried. You had every right to be. Jessica died a week later.

The thing about you is that you can't let a dead dog lie. Where's the fun in that? You'd much rather figure out ways to raise them.

Sam was brilliant, but he let enough details slip to allow you to research him. And you were a law graduate student; you knew a thing or two about studying. Random newspaper clippings, shoutouts of various names, and blog posts allowed you to figure out the supernatural aspect of his life that he had kept from you. You should've been more surprised, but you were more excited than anything. There was more out there. What a strangely relieving thought.  

This knowledge proved helpful when you realized you had a poltergeist.

The new place you moved into was charming and Victorian, the dream of everyone with a Pinterest board. It was in fairly decent shape, and with your roommates, you guys thought you could polish it up to something livable during your suffering years of graduate school. Unfortunately, the price was too good to be true, which led to the unfortunate circumstance of hauntings culminating in one of your roommates in the hospital, barely alive. You called Sam that night.

"Hey Sam, it's me…" you trailed off at that, feet tucked under you as the machines' beeping cut through the silence. "I need your help."

The next day, he was at your door, enveloping you in a hug. He smelled exactly the same, and you didn't realize how much you missed him. Dean was with him.

"I'm Dean," he nodded, holding out a hand. You raised a brow.

"We've met."

"I would've remembered someone who looks like you," Dean scoffs, an easy smirk on his lips that probably made many women swoon. You just rolled your eyes, going back into your house and hoping Sam followed.

A week later, the boys were still here. This ghost was frustrating, and it was more the principle of it that was pissing you off more than anything. You let the brothers stay at the house since it was safer in numbers and cheaper. Plus, your roommates took a wide berth of the place before returning. A routine developed in the short time they were here. You cooked breakfast, Sam made coffee, and Dean woke up at some point. You and Sam would enjoy the paper before something happened (usually related to the crossword that Dean was totally not interested in), and you ended up bickering with the older Winchester until Sam got fed up with it and shut it down.

"Stop eyeing her like she's a piece of steak," Sam muttered to Dean when you weren't around, having stormed off to some other corner of the house. Dean almost spit out his coffee.

"The hell? I do not do that. I have no clue what you're talking about."

Sam just nodded, hiding a smirk behind his book as Dean grumbled about not checking you out.

For the first time that week, Sam was out that night. He was following "a lead." What that lead was, no one knew, but it meant you were alone. With Dean. In a house. Without supervision.

You grumbled something about making dinner. Dean followed you.

"Are you lost?" you asked, hands on your hips as Dean plopped himself at the counter.

"I'm following the food."

"Of course you are."

"Please, no more rabbit food," Dean groaned. "I can't take it anymore."

"Oh no, definitely not," you smirked, pulling out some steaks from the fridge you had been saving. Dean's eyes immediately lit up. "You're helping me cook these. I'm not letting your dumb ass sit around while I prepare a meal."

"You're bossy," Dean grumbles but doesn't complain further as he removes his flannel and sets it on the chair. You ignore that he looks really good in a t-shirt and return to grabbing ingredients. To his credit, Dean is good at letting you tell him what to do and following through. He is definitely a better chef than Sam, who has burned many things in your kitchen. Dean is an excellent sous chef. You tell him as such.

"The hell? I am not a sous," he says while furiously stirring butter.

"It's a compliment, you knobhead."

"Knobhead? What 1950s show are you living in?"

This conversation went back and forth for a while. But you finished cooking a meal, which is always considered a success in your book. Dean devoured him almost immediately before you could even finish cutting through it. Then, it was just you attempting to finish your meal in peace. This was difficult, as Dean continuously kept eyeing your food, hoping you might give it to him, and then would complain outwardly when you didn't.

"You're not going to finish it," he drank his beer, once again looking at your dinner. You glared.

"I can finish it."

"A girl like you doesn't finish an entire steak."

That comment pissed you off. You finished your steak in two bites, shocking Dean, and then proceeded to grab his glass of beer and down it in one gulp. You slammed the glass down, raising a brow. "You have no clue what type of girl I am."

You grabbed both your plates and made your way to the kitchen, putting them in the sink and starting to clean the dishes. You barely made it through a plate before Dean pushed you out of the way.

"Dean—"

"I'm not questioning your ability, but in my world, the one who doesn't cook cleans. So, sit your ass down," Dean said before you could chew him out. You bit the inside of your cheek and sat down, still glaring at him as he washed each dish meticulously and put them either in the dishwasher or on the drying rack. When he was done, he threw the dishtowel over his shoulder. The domesticity made you soften. "I'm sorry for earlier."

You blinked, not really expecting any sort of apology from Dean Winchester. You did expect that you would not get anything besides those words.

"I don't understand women."

You laughed at that, leaning on your hand with your elbow on the table. "Aren't you a self-proclaimed ladies' man?"

"I know how to sleep with women, but I don't get what goes through your heads," Dean leaned against the counter, arms crossed. "You want one thing and then a different thing, and I can't keep up."

"So, you're admitting you're slow." Dean threw the towel at you. "Women aren't that complicated; men are just bad listeners. You included."

"I can listen."

"Really? What was I frusterated about at dinner?" you challenged, getting off your seat and leaning over the counter. He blinked a few times.

"That I kept asking for your steak?"

"No, that you presumed that as a woman, I couldn't finish a steak."

"Well, that's not what I said," Dean replied, getting defensive. You just rolled your eyes, grabbing the wine bottle on the counter.

"Oh, also, insight into women; they lie about how good men actually are in the bedroom," you winked, leaving the room and taking the wine with you. You could almost hear Dean's jaw drop.

"It ain't a lie, princess," he intercepted you, his stupid legs moving much faster than yours. You frowned but didn't say anything. Dean took a breath, locking eyes with you. "Why do you insist on always pushing my buttons?"

"Because it's fun? Because you're both annoying and easy to annoy?" you shrugged, clutching your wine bottle to your chest. You didn't know why you picked on him, besides the fact he could be an absolute ASS sometimes that needed kicking. No, you suppose it goes back to early schoolyard days where instead of 'flirting,' you'd push the person and maybe claim to the entire class that they had cooties. To this day, you still had no idea what cooties exactly were, just that you never wanted to catch them.

"I think you like me," Dean smirked. He had crowded you against the wall leading to the living room. Your wine was an innocent bystander clutched to your chest. Maybe not as tall as Sam, but you still had to look up to see him. "I'm gonna prove it."

"Excuse me?" you breathed any sort of bite to your words caught in your throat as he reached up to your face and stroked your cheek. His hands found purchase holding your neck, tilting your face even higher and infinitely closer. Dean took the wine bottle out of your hands, your last line of defense, and stepped away for a second to put it back on the counter. His hands found your face again.

"Hey princess," he whispered, voice sultry. "Breathe." You couldn't do such a thing even if you wanted to because his lips were on yours, and he tasted like the draft beer in your fridge and apple pie. He was gentle, too gentle, and you wanted more. Your hands, first unsure of what to do, grabbed his shirt and pulled him closer. One of his hands moved to your waist, thumb brushing the exposed skin where your shirt rode up. He was everywhere all at once, masculinity encapsulated, and you were drowning in it. He pulled away, letting you breathe, the command you forgot to follow. "I wanted to do that since I saw you."

"Bullshit."

"Honest to god— well, not god, but honest— but then you had to go and be increasingly difficult," Dean scoffed, still holding on to you.

"You don't even remember the first time we met."

"Of course I do; it was a week after my Dad disappeared," Dean responded. "You were wearing pajamas and had a raincoat wrapped around you as you asked Sam not to go so that you could figure it out together. I was curt, and you looked like you wanted to call me a thousand horrible names, but you let it go as we drove away."

You smiled a little at that. "You do remember."

"What can I say? I like pushing your buttons."

You smacked him on the chest, earning a laugh as you fought off your smile. You did finally get your wine and let Dean choose something to watch. About halfway through your movie (and three glasses of pinot noir in), you got distracted by a makeout session that would've made your teenage self swoon, but it didn't progress more than that. Neither of you wanted to go too fast. Most of the time, it was just light conversation, cuddling, and the realization that maybe you two were much more alike than you thought.

Both of you fell asleep like that on the couch, blissfully unaware of the morning light. Sam came home early in the morning, dropping his bags before seeing the both of you entwined on the couch. A smile crossed his face.

"Finally."

yapping about the au im procrastinating writing

Art originally posted on a different acc but then some of the designs got edited and now its getting posted here :]

TIES au where they're all nonhumans pretending to be humans

BASICS : Tango is a cursed man turned witch, trying to break his curse and get rid of his immortality. Impulse is a demon who is 'in tango's service' aka tango summoned him for something centuries ago and they became besties so tango just never dismissed him to let others summon. Etho is a vampire who could care less about disguising himself and wants to just live a normal life (it isnt going well). Skizz is the angel who fell less than a month ago and is struggling to adapt to human life.

Okay i get to go more in depth now :3

Tango / "The Cursed" - During witch hunts and stuff, got cursed by an actual witch when his village was trying to get rid of her. After being hunted and banished from his home, wandered around for a few years before being taken it by a kinder witch (not important who). She taught him everything she knew, and specifically how to disguise his cursed traits (firey hair, tail, claws, sharp teeth. he cannot disguise his red eyes). After she died, he took over her potion business and threw himself into trying to study how to break his curse. He soon learns part of that curse is immortality, and as all his witch friends around him die, summons a demon to try and get the demon to help him fix his curse. Now in modern day, he runs a smoothie place and still hasn't been able to break his curse, but has found more piece with it, surrounded by other immortal friends.

Impulse / "The Summoned" - Having been around for thousands of years, Impulse is a very feared demon who was so done with being summoned. He hated doing tasks for people, hated being a sort of demonic servant who got paid with souls. What does someone even do with a soul? He is able to disguise himself as human due to his demonic powers, as it helped him look 'normal' when he had to go out to do tasks and not immediately get pointed out as nonhuman. When he got summoned by Tango, he did what he always does and helped how he could. He thought it would be a quick task, but years started passing and they were getting nowhere. As time passed, he and Tango slowly got closer and closer until they were friends. Tango changed his order from 'help me break this curse' to 'be my friend'. Theres been one point where Impulse got dismissed from that order, but after Etho showed up, he helped Impulse reunite with Tango. In modern day, he helps Tango run the smoothie shop and in his spare time, continues trying to figure out how to break his friends curse.

Etho / "The Hunted" - A lot younger than both Tango and Impulse. He was turned when he was younger, and his parents did their best to protect him from the truth of it, but they weren't able to protect him for long, as in his teens a vampire hunter came across him and recognised the traits of a vampire. The scar over his eyes is from that hunter, but in the end, Etho managed to kill the hunter. He wears that man's bandanna as a sort of victory symbol, plus he realised it was easy to keep his hair out of his eyes. He met Tango during Impulse's dismissal and kinda became an awkward roommate, which worked for both of them, as etho needed a place to stay and tango needed company. He is the one who managed to get Impulse back to Tango, and by then he had accidentally become a bestie so he wasn't able to leave now. Out of the three, he does the least to disguise himself. His fangs are covered by the mask he wears, and blames any other weird thing on just being canadian. strangely it works. In modern day, he works the night shift at a gas station nearby and gets his blood from impulse, who as demon, blood loss doesnt affect

Skizz / "The Fallen" - A fallen angel kicked from heaven due to a sort of rumour. he doesn't know what the rumour is, but its his goal to figure it out and fight against it, and get back to heaven. When he fell, his wings grew very tattered and messy. His halo is shattered, no longer glowing how it once did. Both his wings and halo are able to be hidden, with his wings able to tuck very tightly against his back and his halo having the ability to go invisible. His skin is covered in golden scars, scars he gained by being a sort of angel warrior. He had wandered around aimlessly for a few days, managing to get money through stealing, as he doesn't understand human culture or the need to pay for things. While wandering, found a poster that Tango had put out advertising the trio's need for another roommate. He went, and somehow got accepted as the final roommate, even though he very much lacks a job. He is slowly learning about human culture and focusing on getting a job, and somehow has not realised his new roommates aren't human, as they are constantly disguised around him. Meanwhile, they also don't realise he's not human, they just think he's a bit goofy.

Other character that have been figured out include Bdubs (werewolf, summoner of impulse during the time tango had dismissed him), Martyn (vampire hunter, descendant of the one that etho killed. matching bandanna to his ancestor, and is doing his best to hunt down etho while failing miserably), Ren (martyn's silly werewolf friend, who is very stressed and doing his best to stop martyn hunting etho so martyn doesnt get severely hurt), Jimmy (phoenix, who has a sort of rebirth every 30 or so years, has been around for maybe as long as impulse), scar (centaur, think chiron from percy jackson for how he hides the horse), zombiecleo (zombie, self explanatory. no clue how they'd hide it)

HI GUYS!!!!! SORRY I HAVENT BEEN SUPER ACTIVE MUCH TODAY IVE BEEN SWAMPED WITH IRL STUFF BUT IM HERE TO DO...

IZZY'S THIRD AND FINAL SQUID GAME 3 TRAILER ANALYSIS

[SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!]

GEUMJA WITH HER HAIR DOWN. oh my god im so scared. im assuming this is after we see her crying, right? theyre probably going to have a heart-to-heart here. FUCKKKK

okay so like call me delusional,, but the scenes from season 1 give me HOPE!!!! LIKE PLEASE MENTIONS OR FLASHBACKS OR SOMETHING PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

ALI I MISSED YOU!!!!

SANGWOOWOWIWOIUWHJDSHGJBFHDG SANBGWOO SANGWOO SANGWOI SNAGWOHDSJHD SANGWOOOOOOOOO MY MAN PLEADE COME BACK :((((

"you're not that kind of person." a reminder that gihun needs. a serious reminder. that adds to my "forgiveness means gihun will forgive himself above all" theory.

i love how the flashbacks also show how much gihun has changed over time. holy fuck.

"bad people do bad things, but they blame others and go on to live in peace."

ignorance is the root of the issue. ilnam was ignorant until the moment he died. he never admitted gihun won. to me, that is a very strong narrative choice.

in fact, have this thing i wrote a while ago:

I find it quite interesting how Oh Il-nam died before/when Gi-hun had won their final game (the bet) that they were doing to prove that humans are innately good, or the opposite. His death being right as he is proven wrong feels deliberate from a cinematic standpoint.

It kind of bleeds of the allegory of ignorance, in a way, to those who are more fortunate. Il-nam never surrendered. He had been proven wrong. This kind of matches up with those more fortunate people who ignore the issues of capitalism, because “if they don’t work for it then they deserve it” iykwim. The wealthy choose to blatantly ignore and deflect, rather than accept the system’s major flaws. It shows the rich being removed from the poor’s issues, being willfully blind to suffering.

inho lives similarly---in a state of cynicism and denial, but most of all, ignorance. FUCK YOU INHO ARE YOU READY TO DIE???? BANG BANG BANG BANG HEAR THE SOUNDS OF MY MACHINE GUN YOU FUCKWAD

"good people, on the other hand, beat themselves up about the smallest things."

the fact that that line is shown right when saebyeok's death is shown hurts me. and then right after, we see jungbae's death. holy fucking shit. oh my god. i knew he fucking beats himself up over this shit im telling you guys forgiveness has to be about gihun himself,,,,

he doesn't believe in himself. fuck. cue "comeback" by the score plzplzplzplz.

THE TOP BUTTON IS LIT. THE ELEVATOR IS GOING UP. THEY ARE ACTIVELY GOING TO INHO'S ROOM. OH MY FUCKING GODDDD

..i laughed. but at least we know what the black clock is now? the bg doesnt align but

STOP. GET OFF MY SCREEN IM NOT HANDLING THIS.

i feel like theyre all gonna die. except junho. this scares me tho cuz as armed as junho's team is, they aren't as armed as the pink guards. FUCKKKK.

guys. if you look closely.

this ss doesnt do it very well but that's junhee (?) and geumja behind hyunju. SHES PROTECTING THEM. im so scared for all three of them :( found family don't die on me.

this has me so worried. although this is probably the transition to the unmasking scene. in spanish it says something like "this is going to take a while", which ALSO has me concerned. gihun kill that bitch (i know he probably won't but a girl can dream!!!!) im still not convinced at all he'll forgive him. he's going through even MORE horrors in s3. why would all that get thrown away? if anything, he'd be more angry that inho is youngil, i think. because someone he trusted for a couple days ended up being the one working against him all along. idk

im calling it now, i think that this is inho. i dont think its gihun. the gihun foot fetishers on twitter also dont think its gihuns foot so i trust them! but we already know we're getting inho flashbacks so it makes sense. maybe this was his final game? i dont really think they'd do another final game between gihun and inho, that's just redundant and hdh already said that he doesnt repeat tropes.

THE CALLBACK TO THE FINAL GAMES GIVES ME MORE SANGWOO HOPE. SANGIHUN COME BACK TO ME RIGHT NOW. SANGWOO WILL BE THERE IN S3 (flashback or mention) ON EVERYTHING I OWN. HFHJJ

OKAY AT FIRST I GOT WHIPLASH BC I THOUGHT INHO SAID THAT BUT THANK FUCK IT WAS JUST GIHUN--- inho you bitchass, dont scare me like that.

anyways! we've seen this scene a bajillion times before so i dont have much commentary on it.

AND THAT JUST ABOUT WRAPS IT UP!!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS WONDERFUL RIDE!!!! and dont worry, the analysis is never over. i post analyses all the time on my tumblr, and i will (attempt..) to take notes on season 3 when i watch! probably the second watch though. probably not the first.

ANYWAYS IM WATCHING 01x03 WITH MY MOTHER SOON SO BYE GUYS SEE U SOON XOXO (SANGIHUN CANON!!!!)

[littlebeluu]

Hi! Hope you're day is going well :)

If it's okay I'd like to request smth for marc, if not just ignore this haha. I actually have a few ideas but just pick the one you like the most :)

1. It's kinda similar to the one you already wrote I guess but reader being insecure cos shes not as conventionally attractive as other wags, like she's not ugly but she's not a model either yk? Maybe also like people online hating on her body and/or weight and she doesn't wanna make a big deal out of it but marc notices and like reassures her and stuff (also in my head, reader is like a really private person who doesnt like a lot of attention, has her social media accounts on private and doesn't post anything except a handful of stories every now and then but that's obvi just me, doesn't have to be like that)

2. Marc reaching reader catalan (in my mind reader can already speak Spanish but that's not a must obvi)

3. Marc teaching reader football and she's just really bad at it haha idk I think it could be cute

4. Height difference (I'm 5'3 haha so this is really a self insert) like maybe reader wearing his clothes for the first time and they're so adorably oversized on her or like just anything about height difference really :)

You can obviously change stuff about the requests if there's anything you don't feel comfortable with or don't like, I don't mind. Sorry if it's too much stuff at once btw, I'm not really good at writing this kinda stuff.

Thanks so much in advance already, I hope you have an amazing day (or night, depending when you're reading this haha)

I'll do other ones too 🫶🏻

I might have some trouble to do the second one cause I also don't speak catalán but I'll try anyway.

"Insecure"

marc guiu x female reader

warnings: none

The car engine hummed softly as Marc and I settled into our seats after training. Our eyes met in the rearview mirror, and I felt a flutter in my chest. Despite the hours apart, his presence still had that effect on me.

"Hey," Marc greeted, his voice warm but tinged with concern.

"Hey," I responded, trying to muster enthusiasm.

Marc's brow furrowed as he studied my reflection. "Are you okay?"

I nodded, forcing a smile. "Yes."

His eyes narrowed, unconvinced. "Are you sure?"

"Yes," I repeated, my voice barely above a whisper.

Marc sighed, reaching for the radio. As music filled the car, we drove in silence, the tension palpable. Every few minutes, I caught him glancing at me, worry etched on his face.

"I'm fine," I assured him, though the words felt hollow.

"You're lying," he said softly, his voice a mixture of hurt and frustration.

I hesitated, torn between protecting him from my insecurities and the need to be honest. "It's just..."

"Tell me," he encouraged, his tone gentler now.

"Why do you think I'm upset?" I deflected, buying time.

Marc's eyes softened as he looked at me. "I don't know, but I've noticed you haven't really smiled today. Not your genuine smile, anyway."

"Of course I did," I protested weakly.

"No," he shook his head. "I know you better than anyone else. I can tell when you're feeling down, even if you don't say anything."

His words hung in the air as I struggled to find my voice.

"What's wrong, babe?" Marc pressed, his concern evident. "You're going to tell me, or..." He trailed off, leaving the sentence unfinished.

I took a deep breath, feeling tears prick at my eyes. "I'm sorry. It's nothing important."

"It must be something if your smile hasn't been genuine in the past 24 hours."

"Yeah, well..."

"Just say whatever it is," he urged, his voice a mixture of frustration and worry.

"Honestly? People have been saying horrible things about me lately," I admitted, my voice cracking.

Marc's expression darkened. "What? Who?"

"It's okay," I tried to reassure him, wiping away a stray tear. "Really. Just forget about it."

"No," Marc insisted, pulling the car over to the side of the road. He turned to face me fully. "What happened?"

I hesitated, feeling foolish. "It's stupid."

"Just tell me," he pleaded, taking my hand in his.

"Your teammates' girlfriends posted photos with me yesterday," I began, my voice barely audible.

"And?"

"Everyone's saying horrible stuff. Like... like I'm the ugliest and fattest girlfriend."

Marc's face contorted with anger and disbelief. "What? Who's saying this?"

"People online," I mumbled, ashamed of how much it affected me.

"So nobody real?" he asked, his tone softening.

"Well, they could actually exist somewhere," I argued weakly.

"Don't even joke around," Marc frowned. "They don't deserve any importance. You shouldn't read comments under their posts anyway."

I sighed, looking out the window. "I know I shouldn't, but sometimes I can't help it. It's like picking at a scab - you know it's bad for you, but you do it anyway."

Marc's expression softened with understanding. "I get it, but those comments are toxic. They're not worth your time or energy."

"You're right," I admitted, turning back to face him. "I just wish I could stop caring what others think."

Marc reached over and squeezed my hand. "It's not easy, but we'll work on it together. Your worth isn't determined by strangers on the internet."

I took a deep breath, feeling vulnerable. "I guess sometimes those words hurt more than others. Like... maybe I wish I had more confidence. Being known is so overwhelming, and I wish I knew how to get over myself. I guess... I envy the confidence of other girls I meet."

Marc's eyes filled with understanding and love. "You're not ugly nor fat, Y/n. You're beautiful, inside and out."

"I didn't say I was, people said it," I protested weakly.

"But you think it," he said softly, his thumb tracing circles on my hand.

"No," I lied, unable to meet his gaze.

Marc cupped my face gently, forcing me to look at him. "Tell me something, Y/n. When was the last time you read something nice?"

I felt a rush of guilt for worrying him. "Well today, you told me something nice this morning. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sound like such a baby."

"Stop apologizing," he said firmly. "You're beautiful, and I'm so lucky to be your boyfriend. But more than that, you're kind, intelligent, and strong. Those people online? They don't know you. They don't see how you light up a room, how you make everyone around you feel special."

Tears spilled down my cheeks as Marc's words washed over me. He pulled me into a tight embrace, and I buried my face in his shoulder.

"I love you," he whispered into my hair. "Every part of you. And I promise, we'll work on building your confidence together. You don't have to face this alone”

As we sat there, wrapped in each other's arms, I felt a weight lift from my shoulders. The cruel words of strangers seemed to fade away, replaced by the warmth of Marc's love and support.

"Thank you," I murmured, pulling back to meet his gaze. This time, my smile was genuine.

Marc leaned in, his lips meeting mine in a soft, tender kiss. It was gentle and reassuring, conveying all the love and support he had for me. As we parted, he rested his forehead against mine, our breaths mingling.

I reached up, running my fingers through his hair before pulling him in for another kiss, this one deeper and more passionate. When we finally broke apart, we were both slightly breathless.

Marc started the car again, but before pulling back onto the road, he turned to me with a mischievous grin. "Now, how about we go get some ice cream and plot our revenge on those haters"

I laughed, feeling lighter than I had in days. "Ice cream, yes. Revenge... maybe we'll save that for another day."

As we drove off, hand in hand, I realized that while I couldn't control what others said about me, I could choose to surround myself with love and positivity. And with Marc by my side, I felt ready to face whatever challenges came our way.

Before we reached the ice cream shop, Marc pulled over once more. He cupped my face gently and gave me one last, lingering kiss. "You're beautiful," he murmured against my lips. "Inside and out. Don't ever forget that."

I smiled into the kiss, feeling truly loved and cherished. With Marc's support and these tender moments, I knew I could overcome any insecurity. We drove on, looking forward to our ice cream date, our hands intertwined and hearts full of love.

would rafe be toxic with shy!reader? like say she decided to get really dolled up from him and when he picks her up to go to a party or maybe on a date he’s like who are you getting dolled up for tf??? or is he not really like that with her or if he is toxic with shy!reader, would you share what kind of toxic he’d be?

this made me feel things.. first of all YES. he is toxic but a little different, i don't think a drabble would accurately describe this dynamic so im gonna talk about it instead im sorry !

i think he is toxic but it's more about protecting her, like not letting her go places alone because she's gonna let ppl walk over her. the toxic part is like kind of instilling it in her that she needs to be reliant on him for protection which she ofc eats up since thats her vibe imo

i do think he maybe doesn't realize the extent of her personality sometimes, to me she's not really a party girl but she makes an effort for him. the scenario you described is so real! she would get dolled up for him and he's thinking like she hates parties... who is she tryna impress.. but it all works out, shy reader doesnt have an argumentative bone in her body, shes an apologetic angel. she doesn't lie to rafe either so sometimes there is no reason to be toxic to her, she just listens to everything rafe says without much of a problem at all <3 this mind sound delulu (haters stay away) but i can understand from her pov it's nice to not have to worry and think about just trust in rafe <33 she likes it that way

i think she also teaches him to be more trusting and since she would never so much as look at another guy much less talk (unlike kook trio reader my beloved) he doesnt have much reason to be toxic either. i think theyre not healthy at all i mean its fucked in its own way, but they're beyond happy so <3

i will say shy reader is the one kelce & top and even ward is like rafe... you better not be mistreating her... srsly...

hes like shut up she calls me dad in and out of the bedroom and likes getting choked out and slapped around u don't know shit abt her

Trans people and the 4b movement and solidarity from cis women: a vent. I was just scrolling through tiktok and saw a video from Kay Poyer (popular trans woman on tiktok) about how terfs are going to try to convert other cis women into conservatives and that now more than ever cis women need to have sisterhood and solidarity w trans women. And the comments were FILLED w cis women agreeing and pledging their unconditional and unwavering support and saying how they all must protect eachother and what not. And that was very beautiful and moving dont get me wrong!! But.. theres was no mention of trans men (or any other trans people) which I understand! Kay doesnt usually ever even talk about trans men and she was just looking out for herself and her fellow community of dolls, I wasnt really expecting her to bring up trans men. But I also made a video, and my video was about the 4b movement and how ive already seen countless cis women turn their backs on trans men and excluding them from conversations about reproductive care while simultaneously lumping us together w “inherently evil” cis men and including us in the 4b movement (as in dont sleep w or date transmen/whatever the 2 other bs are). And my comments are filled with only 3 types of comments. Either trans men who feel very left out and isolated by the whole thing who are also explaining that the 4b movement is gender essentialist terf shit and how the og movement is horrible to trans women OR cis AND a minority of trans men alike who are going on “men are men” speeches and justifying why we should isolate trans men along w cis men in these dire times. And just. Im so frustrated. Im so disheartened. Im so tired. Im watching EVERYONE turn their backs on trans men, even other fucking trans men. And I dont know what to do. Im sorry for this venty ass wall of text but ive had a rough few days w the election and watching how willing everyone is to give me such unnuanced half baked ass takes about transmascs and men is genuinely kind of fucking me up like. I dont even know what to say like i dont even know why im surprised but FUCK

Hey, it's okay. <3 I got you anon. I love you and I'm here for you, promise. You matter, trans men matter.

Gabriel specifically told Marinette to make sure Adrien never knew he was Hawk Moth/Shadow Moth/Monarch. He didn't show any remorse for the way he treated Adrien. If he actually loved Adrien, he wouldn't have treated him like an obedient drone for the last few months of his life.

A wise man once said "He may have been your father boy, but he wasn't your daddy."

Allright, @crimson-ace lets start by getting the obvious out the way: Clicking the Anonymous question button doesnt work when you send the ask 1 minute after leaving a comment, and immediatly before leaving another comment on the same post you are talking about. You cannot layer a troll-sandwitch with an anonymity filling. Now to give you more grace then you deserve, given that all signs point to 'obvious troll'. Im nonetheless going to abide by Hanlons razor and give you a last benefit of the doubt.

While i have a lot of negative feelings about the decision to write an abuser as a complex figure with nuanced emotion in a childrens show that is notorious for its inability to manage pay-offs to basic concepts. I nonetheless need you to understand: 1-Abuse is complicated, and not all abuse comes from a place of malice. Gabriel can be both an abuser and have genuine, dying regrets about the strain he put on his relationship. These are not mutually exclusive traits. 2-How often in cannon does gabriel actually treat adrien like a drone/slave? Because those moments that involve ring use are very much fewer and further between then most of you seem to think. (most of them arent even cannonical to the timeline, occuring in Ephemeral, Chat Blanc and similar. And even then i cannot help but notice that bringing them up in an attempt to distract from Marinette's 3-4 paterns of on-screen Catdrienabuse might be likely to backfire

3- At no point in that post did I ever defend Gabriel. In fact the only bit of that post that described the actual reality of the events that happend rather then the fandoms deliberate, malicious misreading OF the scene, explicitly says that the few moments are not enough to redeem Gabriel. While TA might think that Gabriel 'died redeemed'. Neither I, You anon, nor the character of Gabriel himself hold that opinion. 4-There is a difference between gabriel technically asking that his crimes be covered up to protect adriens memories of the good days, and marinette's choice to go way above and beyond that request to manufacture the big 'hero' lie. There is a difference between 'dont tell them I was a supervillain' and 'tell them I was secretly the hero and personally saved the world from the guy who almost started WWIII in New York'. Gabriel did not ask to be turned into a saint. That was wholy and fully a Marinette decision. 5-Even if gabriel had asked to be made into a hero (which i need to reiterate, he explicitly did not), that would not free Marinette (the person the post is actually about if you hadnt noticed) from acocuntability for her choices in maintaining the lie... such as: Murdering Adrien in cold blood Emotionally manipulating Sublime to prevent Adrien from getting a support network outside herself, absolve marinette of her decision in Revalator to mind-wipe Alya rather then face accountability, otherwise wash marinette's hands from any other crimes against adrien's right to self-determination she's inevitably going to commit as-of-yet-unnaired episodes in the upcoming season. If you genuinely think that post was me defending Gabriel? You need to read it again, that post was about only one thing and one thing only: The fact that the fandom has wildly reinterpreted what happened in that scene because they'd rather rewrite cannon and erase Marinette's choices and decisions in the story, Then risk having to accept accept that Marinette , according to the text of the show, supposed to be considered fully responsible for the various gaslightings, manipulations and on-screen murders she's comitting this season. But her stans (that, i presume, includes you) would rather reduce this character, textually stated to be 'considered fully mature' in the eyes of magic and 'already the best possible version of herself' to an easily-manipulated, spineless perpetual-victim. Rather then engage with the fact that the character is being written (and has for been so for 3 seasons straight) as a selfish, manipulative controllfreak who lacks the ability or desire to respect the agency and personhood of others.

EP 4 RAMBLE PART 3 FINAL!!

(ft the other episodes! but mainly ep 4!)

okay actually i think this is more of a gangle ramble now but thats fine

part 1

part 2

CONTINUATION OF THE GANGLE PEOPLE-PLEASER PART OF THE RAMBLE FROM PART 2!

lets see... where did i leave off... RIGHT!!

There are a lot of parts in ALL episodes where she doesn't want to cause problems for people. Which is typically normal for everyone, HOWEVER. Her idea of 'causing problems' is her opening up to people about how she truly feels, or even voicing her feelings in general if they're about someone.

I've already gone over the Pomni conversation and the bit where she has a mini breakdown, and I said I'd include even more of the other episodes in this, so! Let's begin at Ep 1!

Let's talk about what I've observed in episode one.

YES THIS IS IMPORTANT.

Notice how it's emphasized she says it quietly? (I know it's for comedic effect, but EVERYTHING seems to be important for every character, like how the darkness from the bucket on Kinger's head in Ep 2 helped him remember something about Ragatha before immediately forgetting it and then the reason he only remembers things in the darkness is explained! Seems like a minor detail that means nothing, turns out to be HUGE.

She doesn't want to cause a problem. In this case, the 'problem' would be her fully interrupting the conversation because she's worried about her friend. In the mind of a people pleaser, even if it helps someone out, you feel a sense of pressure on you when mentioning someone needs help to others, because "What if I cause a problem or make them mad? I don't wanna do that!", those thoughts are pretty normal, ESPECIALLY for people-pleasers.

"Wait, what about Zooble?" Is said so quietly, you can barely hear it. She either doesn't want her voice to be heard, or she DOES but is too scared to say it more loudly because of some version of the thoughts I described.

not as important but I'd like to note how she literally says NOTHING. like. nothing. i just think its kinda funny but also she just. doesnt give her opinion at all? she wasnt even asked if she wanted to go with them to check on kaufmo they just dgaf about her 😭

ANYWAY

This is the only time she gives her opinion and its not even an opinion HELP

Also I'm trying to save space so I don't have to make a part 4 so shortly into this, since I know I'll have to make one anyway, but I wanna mention how she hides behind her broken mask to protect herself after he screams which kinda hits different now that we know more about her mask.

But anyway, I'll make a seperate little portion of this ramble for that!

I'd like to mention too, anytime she is shoved, has something mean said to her, or has her comedy mask broken, she doesn't complain or say anything about it except for maybe an "ow". I find that interesting, because I think the reason for this is that she doesn't want anyone worrying about her. AKA, she doesn't want to cause a 'problem'.

She wants to please. One does not please by being a 'problem', right? That's probably how she thinks, anyway.

When Jax tells her to do something she doesn't want to do, whether he pressured her like that or not, it wouldn't have made a difference, because she can't bring herself to say 'no.'

In my opinion, from what it sounds like when she says "I don't think we—" she probably would've ended up saying yes regardless. Hell, if he'd just followed it up with "do it," I don't see a world in which she wouldn't, although she'd probably be more hesitant.

also why does his back bend like that he looks like hes gonna become an old man any second now HELP 😭

Also, when Jax threatens her by saying "Do it, or I'll tell Ragatha about the figurine thing," I think that really does something to her.

Every time she's either built up the confidence to say no, or someone has tried to help her say no, she's kicked down in one way or another INSTANTLY.

Episode 4 did not help with that. I believe in the next few episodes, she will not be better about saying no. She might even be worse off, knowing Ragatha thinks her being happy is annoying.

People-pleasers are in different worlds. Being the type of people-pleaser Gangle is, it's an entirely different world from others. It carries a lot of what I can only describe as delusion to it.

If Pomni had not stepped up when Gangle thought she was alone after work hours, Gangle would have abstracted. I am a firm believer in that. She was breaking. Losing her mind.

Gangle tells herself to stop trying to achieve her dream while breaking down over the fact her efforts to achieve her dream might not be enough.

So let's go there, and get a

Closer look at Gangle's mental state.

(and why she's most likely the most unwell character)

Gangle is mentally ill. Everyone knows that already, but to what extent?

I'm not sure if we'll ever know.

But what we do know is this.

More likely than not, Gangle almost abstracted in Ep 4. And out of everyone who has EVER vented so far, Gangle has shared relatively nothing. Even after the Spudsy's adventure, what we've seen so far is her never mentioning her feelings except that she feels like she messed everything up.

Gangle doesn't know how to help herself. Zooble can make her feel better, but not for long, because Gangle doesn't think she can get better.

When she was about to vent to Pomni, she stopped as soon as she felt like her feelings were REALLY about to come loose, put her new happy mask back on, said she had no time to talk about her feelings, and fled.

What I think is that Gangle thinks everyone is more important than her, so when she FINALLY got to be important she was happy. Really, truly happy.

The worst thing you can do is make someone think they're not wanted or loved.

Something that makes me sad is that Gangle does not feel wanted or loved.

Gangle was almost gone in Episode 4.

We almost lost Gangle. Had Gangle abstracted, she'd die without ever feeling like people cared about her.

For all we know, she could be the first person to abstract after Kaufmo.

I personally believe that.

The end of Episode 4 was a su¡cide attempt. (is that word allowed? im not sure..l ill censor it anyway)

I saw someone say this in the comment section of either the episode itself or a reaction video, and I completely agree.

They say before people commit su¡cide, they have a sudden boost of joy. Everything will be over soon. Why not enjoy that fact?

I think it was a subconscious su¡cide, at the very least.

She was happy. For the first time without a happy mask to hide how she feels deep down, she was happy.

She had a sudden boost of happiness, and then stepped backwards into oncoming traffic. When someone experiences a near-death situation by their own hand, there's a moment of regret before they are gone. I've experienced it myself, and it is horrid. That feeling is one I will never be able to forget. Even if I never so much as blacked out, I felt faint, and I will NEVER forget that fear, that horror, dread, regret.

The shock. Wondering if it was truly me who did it.

And I think. That is what Gangle experienced.

And then, that feeling was brushed off by Caine, whether she knew he doesn't understand the feeling of wanting to disappear or not, she was quick to blame herself for it all. Both about her performance to Caine, and alone, to nobody but herself.

"I guess I just... cracked under the pressure I suppose."

And maybe, just maybe.

That crack will never heal.

Thank you for listening and reading my ramble, everyone!! I appreciate it more than you know!

Bye bye for now, friends! Have a lovely day!

[kadereads]

so much happened in lotm volume 5 my jaw is on the floor. might be my longest longpost yet I have SOOO MUCH to say! buckle up

Major spoilers warning!!!!!

the previous part

.

.

.

.

hey

what do you MEAN klein and countless others from earth were all transmigrated from earth to this place at the same time, held in spiritual cocoons above the grey fog as some kind of weird thing where one is to be released in an era after the last one perishes, 3 have been released including emperor roselle and klein, and it’s been probably thousands of years since they were strung up there,, which means everything klein once had and his entire previous life is gone forever? haha WHAT

I had a vague thought ages ago that the creator of the city of silver could’ve been a transmigrator too but I pushed it aside bc I thought it was too much of a reach. UR SAYING IT MAY ACTUALLY BE ON POINT????? I KNEW part of me wasn’t crazy for thinking the depictions of the cross and the sons being named “adam” and “amon” was strangely similar, but I didn’t completely link these lines of thought together back then bc I thought well maybe it could just be a similarity between the two worlds to have symbolic figures like this ? 😭 how foolish of me. if the city of silver creator was a transmigrator too, and certain things were influenced by his original religion, this makes Everything make sense. dang he really got eaten alive though

but yeah if this major of a trippy realization happened to me, directly after experiencing emotional damage & my existence splitting apart then reforming again to become a godly figure, my worldview would also shatter??? I can totally empathize with klein having a mental breakdown right then and there. any hope he had was completely torn to shreds :(

thankfully deep inside of the despair he still had the desire to live, and so he reached out for help from audrey. what a relief 😭 it was majorly unsettling to hear my guy behave so empty and numb 😔 I love audrey so very much, she is aware of the world’s truly kind and gentle heart even if it’s buried under layers of masks. her advice for him to not hide under a thick mask so much was really on point like wow does he need that! she has always been a source of happiness for klein, her joyful presence at the tarot club is a comfort for him, she truly values the emotions of others & if there’s anyone in this world that can assist him with things like this? it’s her 😭🥹 “the world needs justice” is such a great name for their duo/ship they are really sweet together I love them

—

SCREAMED when leonard finally met mr. fool and heard about the tarot club and all he could ask about was hey is klein is here too?? which tarot card is klein’s??? and after getting that confirmation he instantly decided to join, becoming “the star” 😭😭😭 MY WISH IS GRANTED LETS FREAKING GOOOOOOOOOOO klein set him up for that name which was funny, I agree with him leonard is a star ✨🌟

AND XIO FINALLY JOINED TOO AS JUDGEMENT!!! THANK GOODNESS THEY ARE BOTH FINALLY IN IVE WANTED FOR THEM TO BE HERE FOR SOOO LONG!!!! XIO CAN ATTEND TOGETHER WITH HER BFF GF FORS AND LEONARD DOESNT HAVE TO BE SEPARATED FROM KLEIN ANYMORE HE CAN MEET WITH HIM EVERY MONDAY AT 3PM!!! 🥹🙌

when leonard attended his first gathering the very first thing he did was scan all the members for klein…. and in the following meetings, leonard constantly kept taking note of klein in his internal thoughts… feeling worried about klein losing himself, worried about klein’s mental state, worried about klein’s unhinged attitude nowadays, he’s always paying attention to him. guys oh my god falls to my knees ?

leonard cares for him SOOOO much 😭😭😭😭😭😭 and it’s the same vice versa, even with klein being all cold on the surface inside he truly wants to protect leonard and constantly refers to him fondly… the whole reason The Fool brought him into the tarot club was to help him become stronger and keep him safe. LEOKLEIN!!! they are adorable! “my dear poet’ BAM!!!💥💥 “my partner” BOOM!!!!! 💥💥 END ME 😃👍

—

*shakes in fear*

it happened…. he is finally here.

Amon.

his brief ominous appearances in the past have been jumpscares for me. oh my weak little heart it drops whenever I read “black hair black eyes and monocle”

this entire time amon has been built up as a major threat, its so bad that our protagonists flee when they catch wind of him. and I think that’s completely deserved after the reveals that he can literally make anything into his avatar clone through parasitizing them, he can watch and act through them, even if it’s as tiny as molecules.

e-excuse me? deeply uncomfortable at this information 😃

it’s always been in the back of my mind while reading that amon is Around and could appear any second so this info just freaked me out more,, like oh. so he actually is capable of that and you won’t even know. and that’s not all, he can steal people’s time, their destiny, steal their entire identities.

slotting right into his victim’s life, occupying the space they left behind & nobody will ever able to notice it’s not the same person anymore. genuinely wtf this is existential horror at its peak amon is terrifying

and that’s exactly what he did— through killing and replacing hazel’s teacher, he finally tracked down klein. easily took over klein’s marionette and casually walked in dwayne dantés room. smiling

“Found you.”

gave me goosebumps I read this scene past midnight in the dark, as one does 🥲

sure amon didn’t find out what’s actually up with klein even after their tense “conversation” thanks to klein being meticulous in his defenses and becoming a demigod fast enough, and amon’s subsequent plans flopped bc of klein & leonard & the angels (who thought disaster could be averted by giving a baby ice cream!) but sheesh this amon encounter was like a horror movie. complete with a zombie apocalypse

ppl getting parasite infected by amon and turning into other amons, complete with their own amon monocles and creepy amon behaviors... Horrors! hazel’s entire family became like that which made her require immediate audrey therapy for ptsd, something which she struggled with for the entire rest of the volume 😭 gosh poor girl

the biggest shock I had about amon aside from All Of That is how he’s a yapper.

I can’t tell you how funny it was going from never hearing the character speak more than a sentence at all in the novel, to suddenly Surprise! this angel does NOT stfu and drones on & on & on about himself and everything he’s doing in the middle of a confrontation 💀

I was nervous bc he is scary, I disliked him for trying to bring harm to my guys & especially for hurting arrodes, but… I have to admit he is kinda silly with it

also it’s very interesting that the amon avatars seemingly aren’t all connected via a hivemind, I had thought they were but nope— they seem to have different memories(?) and communicate through other practical means like letters. makes me wonder more about amon’s pathway powers and the original body which is in the forsaken land of the gods. also amon seemed resistant to taking over klein’s destiny bc he had a feeling it’d result in something he doesn’t want to happen…? hmm…. so what exactly does he want?

amon is Such a weird and off-putting character. I can’t help but be rlly intrigued and also scared by him

btw the backlund tarot club members’ vampire operation that happened during the afternoon of this same day was also very nice I loved seeing them work together as a team, especially audrey taking on a strong spotlight role in both this & the amon operation. she is amazing and already so professional in these supernatural beyonder matters, even though it’s very challenging!! once again she realizes the reality of the mystical world and her growing maturity as an adult. also she got to meet the world as gehrman sparrow finally!!!! I wanted this YAY!!! :3

—

“Your eternal student, Klein Moretti.” OUGH OUGH OUGH azik pls wake up soon your eternal student misses you <\3

also gotta mention how cool it is that klein can turn his marionettes into other hims now and give them his powers. gehrman sparrow can have countless copies of himself, gehrman and dwayne dantés could both be in the same room and talk to each other… this actually happened and I freaked out like woah… two of them! all the versions of kleins can appear and beat you with sticks. he can also transform into animals, he can literally make earth worms shoot air cannons too. crazy!!!!!

leonard visited the blackthorn security company for the first time since he left and it was as emotional as I expected :( also they did that thing again where klein encounters his siblings in passing and they don’t recognize him *despair*

I finally found out what an ancient bane is in relation to reinette tinekerr, it’s sequence 2 angel of the mutant pathway and her sequence :3

—

Hahaha let’s go together to my Dwayne Dantés manor to hunt in the forest together, Qonas Kilgor! what sorts of things are we hunting, you ask? haha! ha.

klein had his target set on qonas kilgor since a long time ago, while xio & fors managed to take out viscount stratford. criess the shermane plotline… all the poor girl wanted was to be a woman. SUCKS that the only way to fr change genders in this victorian world is a potion containing unspeakable terrors that locks u into being an assassin. she never wanted that life she just wanted to be herself, she was so genuine about it…. in the end, even though she was manipulated and betrayed by others she did still get her wish.. she could die at peace with herself at the hands of the only person who ever respected her life and identity, and the last thing she heard was being called by name she picked for herself :((( it was very bittersweet

the major reveal that it’s been the King of Loen George III all along who was behind the great smog of backlund and that he’s secretly conspiring with multiple factions behind the church’s backs, oddly enough didn’t surprise me? y’know ever since that VERY VERY early chapter where we saw this king send off the giant metal steam ship, I felt some vague off-putting vibes from him and kinda kept note of that ever since 👀 idk I just didn’t trust him for some reason. glad that klein found out who to direct his wrath to <3

it’s cool how klein has so many angel connections now: azik, will auceptin, reinette tinekerr, pallez zoroast, and the most recent arianna of evernight. having her help hunt down other demigods was awesome bc of her concealment abilities, I really enjoyed those battles! he did them as gehrman sparrow too 💕

In the fight against qonas kilgor, the difficult conditions of having a sealed artifact at play which could randomize the effects of any powers used showed off a whole lot of klein’s strategic intelligence, which is one of my favorite things to read about. I couldn’t have kept my composure in that fight like he did, I would’ve been soooo upset if my projectiles I spent blood sweat & tears making by painfully splitting off pieces of myself suddenly turned into birds or flowers when I shot them 😭 my intelligent friend klein with multiple contingency plans and many of those fun new bullets made from his worms outclassed that man severely and he did it all while only commanding his marionettes to fight— his real self was laying in his master bedroom the entire time. Aura, I must say 🙌🔥

gehrman sparrow is sure to always be polite when he kills you ^_^ lawyer pathway demigod qonas kilgor was welcomed to the collection :D he should’ve never contributed to the deaths and torture of thousands!

same goes for hvin rambis. maybe he shouldn’t have orchestrated murders and approached audrey with sinister purposes to manipulate her to want to marry random dudes?? gross creepy

audrey showed off her smarts by catching her behavioral abnormalities in advance and forming a plan with the tarot club to kill the guy, but then stuff started going wrong against her expectations and it developed really badly for a bit. yeah the amon confrontation earlier on in this volume was horrifying, but I was somewhat put at ease then bc I knew klein had prepared ways to save himself from the situation… audrey didn’t have nearly as many ways to save herself. I was for real terrified that we’d lose her forever, it actually gave me heart palpitations while reading 💀

but audrey is so intelligent and brave and awesome she managed to use the fate siphon and save herself. she hypnotized a demigod!!!!!!!!!!! then she summoned gehrman sparrow to hunt!!!!!!! I WAS SOOOOO PROUD OF HER AHHHHHHH THATS MY GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💖💖💖

klein putting himself on emergency contact duty to arrive and protect his tarot club members wherever they are by activating the special charms he gave them… it’s beautiful, he cares about them so much <3

the fight was pathetic on hvin rambis’ end imo—yes the power of a high sequence spectator is intense, complex, and difficult to deal with, but every step of the way gehrman had a method of deceiving and stopping him. he was so confident in fact, that he used rambis to run tests. 😭 he used qonas marionette’s lawyer abilities to magnify his own marionettist abilities & creeping hunger’s abilities, which is insane and a deadly combination, and multiple gehrman sparrows kept materializing all over the place to shoot at him 💥💥💥 there was a brief moment of fear with the mental plague, but klein got through it and finally took hvin rambis down. bye bye loser 👋

and so I earned much more of the truth behind George III’s plots... his goal is to advance into sequence 0 black emperor. such a plot is also within the machinations of adam. adam’s personal goal is making “the tides of the times” suited to his expectations, because that is the ritual condition so he can also advance into a sequence 0 true god

adam wants to create a world war.

also klein started swapping his marionettes around like they were pokemon sent to the pc which made me giggle 💀 there was a part that happened too where he divined the unshadowed cross and directly saw the city of silver creator & his brain exploded out of his skull while he sat at the fool’s seat completely chill, w holes leaking from his head, like “sigh. it’s just another day” and I lol’d. my unbothered king who courts death on the regular

INTO MY NEWEST FAVORITE ARC OF THIS NOVEL!!!!!!!

RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRHRHRH THE KLEIN LEONARD & AUDREY TRIO TEAMUP OHHHGHHH

LEOKLEIN AND WORLD NEEDS JUSTICE ARE MY FAVORITE DUOS W KLEIN SEPARATELY AND THEN YOU PUT THEM TOGETHER ALL AS A TRIO????????? magical. IT WAS SO PERFECT IN EVERY WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ✨✨✨

how do I even begin??? ummm well how about the way there was an actual narration saying the trio are all extremely attractive people? narration is correct!

leonard started to pick up how klein feels slightly more like the past and was really happy about that and going on this mission together 😭💖 (thank you to audrey’s wonderful advice for klein to not wear a thick mask, which he is closely following! 🫶) leonard really wanted to joke and play with klein during the mission, but klein was still committed as gehrman sparrow and gave him the cold shoulder again which leonard got kinda upset about and I was sad for him. I am well aware that klein is cat-coded but i really feel like leonard is also quite dog-coded, it was like seeing a dog want attention from an aloof cat 😭

over the course of the mission, audrey shone like the brightest showstopping beautiful jewel again with her professionalism and use of her new dreamwalker powers, and we learned some historical details from the groselle’s travels characters. audrey of course also noticed that gehrman was feeling sad to see them, and she noticed how leonard and him are close friends with a history

even if gehrman doesn’t show it, he internally is very proud of his dear poet. leonard also respects how much klein has grown since over a year ago— but no way would they express these things directly to each other 💀 although as it went on, the walls between klein and leonard started to chip away bit by bit. they even started bantering guys…. THEY STARTED BANTERING!!!!!!!!!!!! it’s a win I’ll take what I can get okay

AND THEN RIGHT AS I THOUGHT THIS, THE HALL OF TRUTH HAPPENED. GOODBYE TO THE WALLS. OH MY GOD I WAS DYINGGGGG 😂😂😂😂 THEY ALL GOT FULLY EXPOSED TO EACH OTHER 😭😭😂😭😭😭😭

klein’s nightmare it completely ripped apart his persona and was terribly chaotic omg 😭 audrey discovered some of the sides The World hides which she couldn’t read before, like how he’s always rambling an inner dialogue, and leonard ofc spoke-thought klein’s real name which revealed it to audrey 💀💀 my heart clenched a bit at that I cringed and facepalmed 😭 leonard then proceeded to go all in with his teasing of “ohh~~~ klein isn’t actually as cold as he appears as gehrman sparrow, haha don’t you see now~?” he’s so cheeky 💀

klein lost his composure so badly that he threatened to turn them both into marionettes. DUDE calm down that’s your friends who care about you don’t give them death threats! and then he screamed at leonard to shut up and threatened to steal his beyonder characteristic omg I was Crying. klein even got his money obsession exposed to audrey and then insulted leonard’s drawing skills omg this was so funny this was the funniest thing I’ve read I really needed this after so much horrors

and thankfully klein managed to not reveal anything related to being the fool. some rather good things happened as a result too, like klein’s ability to run a train of thought instantly to make connections of information and analysis in his head (which I of course have gotten used to, always reading his monologues) becoming a trait audrey was in awe of and deeply respected after finding out. she kept praising him in her thoughts and getting embarrassed which was cute! 💖💖💖

aghhhh this arc was FUN omg so much fun, the most I laughed while reading thus far. I enjoyed the reveals of the real floating city of livseyd actually being in the book the whole time, the hints of mysterious corruption coming from underground, the exploration, the banter, seeing these characters all shine together!!! my new trio of Klein Leonard and Audrey is so awesome and cute, they have great chemistry together they’re my favorite tell me their trio name pls 🫶🫶

-

alright now I’ve got much to say about leonard. klein too! their behavior during previous chapters & how it affected this arc… I have been paying close attention and taking notes for a while now

the post is going to turn into a serious character analysis for a bit, I put a lot of thought into it :>

— Leonard —

underneath leonard’s teasing of klein during the hall of truth, he was really just relieved.

as I mentioned briefly before, this entire past volume leonard has been worried about klein— like if his friend had gotten twisted over their time apart. even though we know how klein truly feels, if you view the events solely from leonard’s POV this worry was not unfounded at all! klein had been basically only business-talk with leonard as The World Gehrman Sparrow, always giving off a cold attitude in their interactions. leonard would sit there and watch as klein casually chatted about murder & the entire rest of the tarot club was intimidated by him, how klein wouldn’t joke together like they used to, wouldn’t react like how he used to, or just be devoid of a reaction entirely like he’s a zombie (we know this is bc klein isn’t always embodying the world persona, sometimes it’s a marionette so there’s times it has no reaction, but leonard doesn’t know ofc… he sees this and is like dang what’s wrong with my friend)

I kinda got the impression that leonard felt spiteful towards gehrman sparrow. specifically that identity, as a thing separate from klein. the way he warned klein about “losing himself in the identity of gehrman sparrow” before…. and how he got salty when he’d behaving as gehrman in front of him when they were alone and he didn’t have to, it was almost as if he was bothered by the idea of “gehrman” erasing the klein he knew. there was even a brief moment where it had crossed leonard’s mind that maybe klein isn’t acting ? that he’s actually become this dead inside now after everything thats happened

leonard who is deeply sentimental and attached to the past, lost so much and felt deep regret and shame about his former self. but he rediscovered a companion he thought was gone forever, only for them to walk away from him when they finally met again under painful circumstances. so he leaped on the opportunity to meet them once more, and did! but then he kinda got faced with the thought of if he’s still lost them even while they stand right in front of him

so seeing klein in this situation where not only has he been wearing a thinner mask and bantered and smiled a bit, but then his gehrman sparrow identity completely broke down and he was flustered about it, must’ve been the biggest sense of relief in some type of way for leonard. he found a teasing point to shake up klein, so ofc he took it and ran with it. like sure klein never threatened violence and berated leonard to such an extent before, but it’s still showing an emotion—klein isn’t just cold and dead. I am so certain leonard was fearful about this. he probably eased up afterwards thinking like “oh, so I haven’t lost everything I cared about. he’s not exactly the same as before, but he hasn’t completely changed either, he’s still someone I can recognize… we can be familiar.”

throughout the entire mission leonard kept feeling nostalgic about their past missions in tingen, seeing his friend be embarrassed again, and also reflected on the new parts like how klein has grown to become a confident and strong beyonder. near the end he also seemed to consider how “gehrman sparrow” might not be too different from the real klein after all, as he shares the sense of profoundness that klein has.

makes me emotional how sincerely leonard cares for the people he cares about. he always seems to take note of them, and tries to be someone they can rely on. it’s very obvious klein is an important person to leonard and im happy my boy was reassured like this 🥹 he really never had anything to worry about… but he knows that for certain himself now :’) imo leonard has learned a lesson of how things can change but also can stay the same in some ways too. I believe future interactions between them will be much more relaxed

— Klein —

oh man. seeing klein have a huge portion of his mask ripped off against his will was really fascinating.

it goes to show how hard he tries to maintain his identity, image, and expression. it was always a habit for him to mask up ever since he took the clown potion, that is until he was directly told by audrey to do it less if it wasn’t a necessary situation, bc it was going to damage his mental state over time.

but like…. he’s still messed up! his way of showing emotions has problems and he continues to feel the pressure to not lose composure or reveal things which are not suiting of his current identity! in this rare instance of the hall of truth where he lost that sense of control over his identity, his initial reaction was to get angry. he straight up thought death threats and snapped at them. i’ve never seen such behavior from klein before it was a moment of weakness that was flawed, interesting, and great to see

klein is a person that’s unable to confidently move into action without a controlled amount of planning first. “a magician never performs unprepared” has been ingrained deeply into him. klein has faced situations of developing scary mind-polluting mental effects, and takes them very seriously—he doesn’t let it fester, asks for help and resolves them asap. klein has been horribly traumatized by seeing other beyonders; including close friends, lose control of themselves and become monsters. klein used taking control as a means to stop someone from dying as a monster! yet klein knows that he cannot control everything and is alright with that, so instead he feels the strong desperate need to have control over himself and his actions at all times. constantly watching himself, checking himself, his memories, reviewing his knowledge, habits, mood

not one moment can he slip, or he could fall down the slope straight to losing control. never should he neglect being cautious & careful, or it could risk everything he cares about. he does all this to an obsessive degree, but in such a crazy world like this i’d say him doing it is pretty valid and also like his comfort. if he doesn’t have himself then he has nothing

as such.. losing control of his identity, his own mind, his composure, his goal, his secrets, are the things that can instantly send klein into distress. or if it’s severe enough, a breakdown; like when he lost his sole goal to return home. and in the first place him following audrey’s advice to show a thinner mask; while its much healthier in the long run, is still himself turning a dial to lower the opacity in a measured and controlled amount that he wishes. when he got angry in the hall of truth, he quickly did get himself under control and move on to more important matters, but afterwards when he was alone, klein reflected on how uncomfortable it was. he thought that if him being The Fool had been accidentally exposed to the two, then it would’ve been the end—he would have instantly lost control on the spot. that is wild to know?

let’s hope that never happens. or if it does, that he’d be mentally stable enough then to handle it. 😬 this whole part really opened my eyes a lot more to this aspect of his character gosh he is so traumatized

I could even go further to speculate that his Entire Pathway has a theme that’s all about control of self… seer, while unable to control fate directly, has the control of various methods to determine your own approach to fate. clown is the control of one’s own body and expression down to the tiniest detail. magician, is how the control of your planned performance is necessary. faceless, the control of transforming your body into various appearances. marionettist, directly controlling others like they’re extensions of you. bizarro sorcerer, the position of stage director controlling a play of “actors,” and the control of split-apart aspects of the self to a great degree. scholar of yore, the control of the history you know to use and project

fascinating.

klein kept saying things in the volume like “I hope none of this peaceful scenery will be destroyed… I hope backlund won’t change, and will continue on like this….” and everytime I was like KLEIN SHUT IT YOU’RE RAISING FLAGS. and then I was proven correct because BACKLUND GOT BOMBED AND THE WAR STARTED.

man everything started violently blowing up suddenly, destruction and death everywhere, melissa and benson almost were caught in an explosion I nearly had a heart attack. George III has his sights dead set on advancing to black emperor, the 7 churches ain’t doing anything about it, and oh guess what ZARATUL is in backlund now to chase after klein!! wonderful exactly what we needed!!! red angel medici is Also around backlund causing problems and being a purposefully irritating piece of work to klein. that’s not all— amon has returned to backlund too, with multiple avatars in tow this time. Fantastic Wow yeah why not 😃 i’d never want to live in backlund in a million years <3

all the happenings forced klein’s dwayne dantés identity to take his curtain call for now…. goodbye mr. handsome middle-aged rich man 🫡

It was a land stained with blood.

It was the air filled with gunpowder.

They were cold and ruthless shells.

The mastermind behind all this, the greatest murderer, would step up to the divine throne over piles of corpses, only to receive cheers and escape his mortal coils.

Can you accept such a development?

Can you accept such an arrangement?

Can you accept such an outcome?

“No, I can’t.”

“No, I don’t accept it!”

The seven deities have already accepted it. What meaning is there even if you don’t accept it?

“…Even if it’s meaningless, some things still ought to be done.”

CHILLS. CHILLS.

shaking and crying

this is only a small part of the monologue but the entire scene was amazing. I had it stuck in my head for several days oh my goodness, this monologue might be my top favorite in the novel. in a way, it felt like these words of klein talking to himself was also being spoken directly to me. I don’t want that to happen either! I want to see klein do something about it! and klein came to the realization he wants to do something too

Because

Listen to me

im about to do another character analysis on klein rn in the same post I don’t care

klein might be changed in many ways after everything that’s happened to him, but his heart remains so compassionate. he truly desires peace. all of his varied experiences, losses, disasters like the great smog, have made him the kind of person that doesn’t want to watch injustice and cruelty win at the expense of innocents. however, he’s not fully “good” either, he has a sense of “righteous evil” which manifests as him mercilessly slaughtering and punishing people if he believes they are deserving of punishment—best shown whenever he’s gehrman sparrow. but no matter what, he never wants to hurt innocents and never budges from this baseline since the very beginning. even if it’s in direct conflict with his potion acting and makes the digestion more challenging!

as a faceless, it would’ve been so much easier to digest if he just killed some random guy and acted in their place, but he only selected people who had already died & did it as a means of closure and wish-fulfillment for them / their loved ones. as a marionettist, he can easily control anyone but he only ever chooses to marionette people who are sinful and evil. it might be more strategic to target and control a large amount of people in the city en masse to be his eyes and ears, but instead he chooses to use things like bugs or rats. amon even criticized him on that. and it’d would’ve been sooo much faster to digest the bizarro sorcerer potion by putting people through terrifying deadly horror stories indiscriminately, but he Again only punished sinners with the “True Horror,” and to the innocents, he helped them under a façade of horror.

guys. he went to every hospital in backlund as the so-called “clown angel” to visit innocent victims of war & diseased patients and used the life cane on all of them to heal their untreatable wounds and incurable sicknesses 😭😭😭😭😭 he took himself to the local cemeteries to witness the grief of the ordinary citizens to remind himself of their despair, stay grounded, and motivate himself to fight against near-impossible odds and angels stronger than him because he just can’t accept the outcome where unfair suffering like this perpetuates and the murderer rests on his laurels.

it makes me tear up klein as a person has developed in such a way that he could never sit back and watch despair take place without doing anything about it. like he even had an entire side mission in this volume of trying to provide the city of silver with a source of nourishing & sustainable food w the mushrooms from frank lee—he didn’t need to do that but he did. he’s so thoughtful. it’s clear to me by now that he’d rather put himself through the pain of death 100 times over than let someone innocent, or someone who has helped him, or someone he cares about, take the fall for him.

klein is such an inspiring incredible character he is so full of love & kindness despite it all. he will always try to find a way. I feel like crying just writing this lmao I love him VERY VERY much

speaking of the city of silver!

THEY FINALLY EXPLORED THE GIANT KING’S COURT YESSSSSS YESSSSSSSS SO MUCH LORE FELL INTO MY HANDS IM CHEWING ON IT

the parents of the giant king were humans, confirming that the giant race is a mutation of humans from beyond characteristics! meaning that elves and vampires are too! makes sense! we got to see the first meeting of rose redemption— confirming the participation of multiple deities and their identities/real names… like the Evernight Goddess Amanises, who was one of the gathering’s conveners alongside Dark Angel Sasrir. those two were the ones primarily behind the cataclysm

I connected way back when little sun shared the names of the subsidiary gods and “Goddess of Misfortune Amanises” came up as a deity under Demonic Wolf Flegrea, I had a thought that she was the evernight goddess bc she similarly has misfortune as a title, so it felt really good to have this proven correct

dark angel sasrir is also apparently asleep in the main palace of the giant king’s court atm. and this location is the one thing blocking the city of silver from escaping the forsaken land of gods and going to the real world…. sigh it’s never easy 😔 the door requires the giant key klein has already obtained in order to open, but of course he’s not gonna do that rn and needs much more preparation bc it’s WAY too dangerous!

the city of silver exploration was really stressful to read bc of the high-level battles, how the true creator was watching the whole time also, and how people kept continuously dropping dead in gruesome manners, but thankfully they went through it sorta safely? at least derrick and colin didn’t die and klein didn’t have to intervene. the visualizing I did of all the ancient buildings and environments was AWESOMEEEE and derrick impressed me with his fighting skills during the mission ohh baby boy has grown up so much

also dark angel sasrir is the “dark side” of the city of silver ancient sun god.. means he basically cooked a plot to assassinate himself/his other half(?) why??? hmm. since we know his identity now it makes using the key and possibly awakening him even more dangerous

—

before we go into the Big Finale parts I really wanna talk a bit about the gehrman sparrow and fors dynamic 😭 I’m glad they met its so silly, its just as silly as him and danitz’ dynamic

fors requested The World’s help for digesting her potion bc he’s the only one who can. in return, she had to write the “clown angel” stories into a novel for him. seeing fors’ author background come into play was really a welcome thing! but such a chill, innocent request like this led to interactions that felt almost like fors was getting scolded by “professor sparrow” or being robbed at gunpoint on the street by gehrman, because he just can’t act normally <3 I was laughing so much. she trusts him to a certain point but also thinks everything he does is a veiled threat 💀 even funnier bc klein was fully self-aware of how threatening he came across, he didn’t care, & infact pressured her harder on purpose to “Write Faster. contact your teacher with all my questions Now. I can find out where he lives.” 💀 what a lovely dynamic

THE REVEAL THAT THE GREY FOG IS CALLED THE HISTORICAL VOID AND THE PALACE ABOVE THE GREY FOG IS CALLED SEFIRAH CASTLE!!!!!!! NAMES FOR THESE THINGS FINALLY FINALYYYYYY

THE “HOUNDS OF FULGRIM” WHO WILLINGLY GAVE THEIR EYES ARE HIS PUPPIES! THE FOOL IS THE MASTER OF THE CASTLEEHEHE💥💥🔥☄️

KLEIN FINALLY DIGESTED BIZARRO SORCERER AND ADVANCED TO SCHOLAR OF YORE!!!!!!! THE RITUAL OF HIM FLYING THROUGH THE GREY FOG TO RECONNECT HIMSELF IN HISTORY AND THE HOUNDS RAN ALONGSIDE HIM AND HE SAW HIMSELF SUSPENDED IN THE COCOON DEEP IN THE PAST awesome AWESOME

AFTER IT WAS DONE HE LOOKED UP AND SAW THE GREY FOG AND SEFIRAH CASTLE IN THE SKY OF THE REAL WORLD. INSANE VISUAL I LOVE IT

also pallez & zaratul & amon could sense it…..

scholar of yore is epic and truly a godly advancement in every sense of the word!! klein can summon projections of the past into the present and they’re physical for a short time. any item he’s ever owned or used, even if it’s physically away or destroyed, now shares a continued existence alongside him. he can just materialize the item from the past and use it like normal for a short amount of time. he can do the same with people, summoning projections of people he knows well ! freakign. *summon a projection of azik to cast instant death* SO MUCH IS POSSIBLE. he can create a paper heart that actually beats blood using projections of history WHAT THE HEKCKFKX not to mention he has already digested 80% of the potion instantly bc of his massive secret knowledge…. I love scholar of yore

AND THEN

The Blessed of the spirit world and Sefirah Castle,

The Mystery stemming from ancient times,

The witness of an extended history,

Protector of Backlund magic and drama performers,

The Great Gehrman Sparrow

GOODBYE

“THE GREAT GEHRMAN SPARROW” you can’t do this to me that title is sick MY FAVORITE KLEIN PERSONA GOT HIS OWN HONORIFIC NAME 🙌

I got a fun new thing my brain has been doing btw! its reading the words “the world” in any context and just automatically mentally filling it in as “the world gehrman sparrow”

*random article/news I see online* “and the world- the world gehrman sparrow? mr. world?” probably because I’ve been reading this specific string of words too many times to count for many months & klein in general has me in a chokehold.. awesome for me

—

he has been planning to intervene in the ritual of George III advancing to black emperor, and found the best means of doing it by conspiring with demoness trissy and bernadette, a plot that involved contacting mr. door to get a ritual that could allow them to bust into George III’s ritual tombs and destroy them to interrupt it

it required the blood from all 22 beyonder pathways which was actually super easy for klein to collect because he has somehow made individual connections beyonders from most of the pathways already!!!! and all of them were willing to provide their blood to him, even though that’s a pretty tall ask since their blood can be used to curse them! which goes to show how well klein/sherlock/gehrman/the world has built his reputation as a trustworthy person no matter the identity

and then boom it was finally the time for George III to attempt his advancement ritual, through a huge war speech directed to all the citizens. what an infuriating guy he was so full of it during the speech like “I care about what’s best for my citizens and I feel terrible for all the people who have lost their lives 😔 but we as a kingdom will rise above this I faithfully promise 😔✊ call me your emperor btw 😔” STFU this entire thing is YOUR FAULT

and then

EVERYTHING WENT SO WRONG. BUT THEN IT WENT SO RIGHT??? AND THEN WENT WRONG AGAIN AND THEN RIGHT AGAIN? SO MUCH HAPPENED IN A SHORT SPAN OF TIME IM STILL SPINNING AND REELING FROM IT

I can’t even,,, comprehend all the events that occurred in a sequential order during this giant battle. it was like klein was embroiled in a rapid game of ping-pong getting wildly hit left and right up & down, and so was I, going from being fearful of his potential death to cheering at his win to scared again bc something suddenly unexpected happened, then cheering again bc he had a contingency plan for that, then fearful again, my emotions were all over the place as I read it was literally this 👇

I won’t even attempt to go over each part I’ll just sort through the results

klein once again said “DONT STOP THE PARTY🎉 EVERYONE IS INVITED, ANGEL EDITION“ the same as back during vol 3 with the demigods, this time stirred a huge chaos storm to bring multiple angel-level existences all into one area to cause a massive destruction backlash and ruin the black emperor ritual.

trissy’s arc ended with her accepting she’s a bad person and sacrificing herself to make the primordial demoness power cause mass destruction to the ritual. I thought that was a great conclusion for her character, she has done a lot of terrible things since the start and knows it. she never called herself a good person, but at least she went out doing a good thing….. and through such combined efforts of her and klein, king george III failed in his advancement lost control exploded and died. YAY! 😁🎉 🎉👏 🕺🙌

the evernight goddess helped klein a bunch in this, zaratul’s attempts of jumping klein in traps like 5 times during the chaos each got screwed over bc klein is too resourceful and smart thinking, but I was REALLY worried for a while there it was very scary especially the ambush in the historical void. klein’s hounds of fulgrim sacrificed themselves to help him run away im so so sad :(((( ARGGRGRGH ZARATUL. 😡 adam was unbothered cause he still gets a world war as he wants, klein lost important items like groselle’s travels, the war is still on

afterwards klein booked a room and went to rest as he deserves! phew what an exhausting day of fighting for your life am I right? haha good thing it’s over now 👍

……………..……amon was sitting on the chair waiting for him.

NO!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT WAS GOING SO WELL

I thought we were so back but it was a lie, we’re so over again 😭😣😭😣😫😭😭😭

my heart plummeted my sense of horror is immense I am fearful about what amon will do now that he’s found klein again, compared to their encounter before this is a way more awful situation bc klein is currently in a highly weakened exhausted state. not even letting the poor guy rest :(

amon WHY weren’t you there earlier when we actually needed and wanted you there for once???? you conniving little . you could’ve been helpful in the angel fight and maybe then I’d have actually clapped and cheered for you

INSTEAD YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO SUDDENLY SHOW UP AND END THE VOLUME FOR ME ON A HORRIBLE CLIFFHANGER???

HOW DARE YOU. HOW DARE YOU? I HATE YOU

forming a grudge against a fictional character as we speak, rudely cut me off right there when I don’t know if klein will be okay >:( how am I supposed to relax huh it’s going to haunt me

yeah so I finished reading volume 5 some hours ago now, since then I’d been fine-tuning this post from my collection of reactions/notes/analysis/drafts, made sure the memes were suitable to convey my feelings (I had edited the patrick star one myself the other day hehe) and….. the burning curiosity and concern is too strong I’m ITCHING to read more. i can’t imagine what the agonizing wait between volumes was like when reading it during release?? 😭 I was trying to pace myself because I didn’t want to read so much today,,,, but man who even cares lmao it’s all I’ve been thinking about for hours I can’t handle it anymore. after posting this I will probably start volume 6 wish me luck because I am afraid <3

if you made it all the way to the end of this you get to see my special bonus doodle

get crushed

[sinsodom]

Ive seen someone pointing out Caleb most likely being experimented on as well and also that remembers it and can we talk how devastating that could be his personality developtment as a literal child? As LI all he sees and has is MC - the only person who survived the same thing he did, be it experiments or/and being orhpaned due to chronorift catastrophy. Stripped of everything but his name and few perosnal data, MC doesnt even have that. So MC remains his only link to past and present. But she doesnt remeber and he doesnt want her to suffer, not then, not now. Most people would be pissed off or hurt upon being forgotten *cough raf cough* which is valid human reaction, but from what we saw in the memories, he is soft with her, ready to remind her his name and their bond. Because despite being child himself, who needed to be protected as well, he decided to care for her. And we could write paragraphs about how draining it must have been and how damaging to young person' developtment. He shows clear signs of untreated trauma but yeah, call him a villain and lets call it a day /s. Sorry for rambling >.>

Ramble xD i love it 💚

The only thing i really put hate on, is the reunion. No one was sorry, not even a hug?? What would've been possible in his home ffs. No. Cold and nothing. But thats the storys fault.

My theory from Sylus on is still: linkon is the bad shit here xD Bad Sylus prepares n109 for war and ratting out the truth. The 3 boys are either in knowledge of that, or, if not, don't know that linkon is dark in real 🤔

With this perspective its a wonder that Caleb came through with lying to the whole fleet 🤣 that was way too easy come on 🤣 fact is: he has a plan. For me: i think that Caleb got found from Viper and co. Side, they saved his life but he has to pay for it. Or they are in fact good maybe xD ofc he is a bit possessive?? Are you for real he suffered af and what, took her hand at night and dreamt to keep her safe 🤣 yeah bad Caleb.

I point out here that he COULD lock her if he wanted to and he didnt. Facts. The "no caring for the others hurt" rages me just 😒

The first thing i asked myself was, whats MC's story. Parents where?? Core how?? Not much info. What if she has like an alpha core or whatever, fact is, everyones behind her. For that Caleb is kinda calm?? Its sad that so many people want a SO dark villain (+fanfics present him like that too mostly)... i would call him everything, curse him and maybe a soft punch but fuck, i would hug the shit out of him and cuddle him to sleep meanwhile being mad on him 🤣

I am happy that i am not alone with my perspective and dont hesitate to throw theories and storys at me 🤣💚
