kai invited mal to his house, to bake and play video games. seems innocent enough, right? well, not for mal. beforehand, kai texted mal saying, “when you come over, i’m gonna tickle you when you least expect it :)” so mal was on edge (in a good way) the entire time they were baking brownies and playin different games. until.. mal is in the bathroom, probably takin a shit, when he gets a text from kai. “when you come out, i have a surprise for you! hurry hurry..” kai is sitting on the couch watching DBH gameplay, when mal comes out. “there’s the boy of the hour! c’mere, sit” says kai, pausing the video and patting a spot next to him. after mal sits down, there’s silence. anticipatory silence.. until mal finally asks “what’s the surprise?” “well i’m glad you asked!!” theatrically exclaims kai, reaching in between the arm and the seat of the couch on kai’s other side. “guess what i found?” “what?” mal asks. “i found.. this!” mal’s eyes went wide with excitement and terror when kai pulled out.. a feather. “s-so.. this was what you were talking about when you texted me earlier..?” “oh no, i’m gonna WRECK you later, but this is just the appetizer before the meal..” kai explains, in a sinister tone, which scares mal, but also excites him. “let’s test this out, hm?” kai teases while waving the feather near mal’s ear. “w-wait!” mal exclaims. kai stops in his tracks. “is everything okay? im sorry if i was too forward or made you uncomfortable-“ “no! not at all! it’s not that..” mal interrupts while looking down, shyly. “what’s wrong?” “i’ve.. never been tickled with a feather before, so im a bit nervous.” mal explains. “boy if you don’t get over here-“ kai side-hugs mal and tickles his ear with the feather. *insert baby giggles here* “hehehehe- wahahait!” mal exclaims. “wait for what, little cutie? or is it too ticklish~?” kai teases while he moves the feather to mal’s neck. “pfft- hehehehe!” “awww, listen to those baby giggles vee was talking about!” “nuh uhuhuhuhuh” “yeah huh~! just wait till i get you later..” kai teases. “just wait~” *timeskip to later that evening* mal and kai were so full from eating pizza and brownies.. that kai accidentally fell asleep on the couch while they were watching Monsters vs Aliens. mal’s eyes went to the feather that was on the counter. so he slowly got up from the couch and tip toed over to the counter, just when he was about to grab it.. kai sneaks up on mal and picks him up from his armpits and jostles him. “so you think you can try and get revenge, huh? huh~?” “HEHEHEHE IHI WOULD NEHEHEVER” mal giggles out. “oho you would never.. hm?” kai starts to tickle mal’s armpits while he’s still in the air. “PFFTAHAHAHAHA NOHOHOHO” cackles mal. “hmm, should i stop, or should i tickle you more just because? decisions decisions..” kai says, while still tickling mal. “STAHAHAP” “fihine finee I’ll stop” kai sets mal down on the couch and stands in front of him, towering over him. “hmhmhmhm stahahap” “stop what~? i’m just standing here..” kai says, knowing what he’s doing. see, what kai is doing, is smirking at mal and wiggling his fingers at him. seems innocent enough, right? well, not for mal..

Disappearing Void Dwellers!
Part 1: Liminal Reality
Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8
CW: decapitation mention
Last Entirety Edit: 9/04/2024
Here’s some background as to why this alternate universe is the way it is:
A very powerful stand user, one that can cause catastrophic effects on the universe, ended up altering and splicing the timelines together. This all takes place in 2022! Most of the people, villains included, have been resurrected by this power. Others are still deceased. Plenty of them have lost their memories as well, but others got to keep theirs.
Vanilla Ice wakes up in his bed with a jump. He tries to catch his breath. What the hell happened? I gave my life to Lord Dio… did I not? The last thing he remembers is decapitating himself so his sire could drink. Was that all really a dream? Vanilla feels his cheek, his face drenched in sweat and hot to the touch. The brunette is in his room, inside the mansion… everything looks the same, smells the same, but something is eerily off. Ice trembles as he stumbles to the bathroom to wash his face and look in the mirror.
I feel like I’ve been sleeping for years. Vanilla feels there is nothing he can do about this and proceeds to fall back to sleep.
The next day, while Vanilla is preparing something for Dio to enjoy, his heart skips a beat. The brunette’s spine tingles for seemingly no reason. His eyelids twitch and his hands quake to the silent beat of anxiety. There’s no way Ice is going to let this little hiccup cut into his time serving Lord Dio. Vanilla swallows hard and brings the tray of snacks to his sire.
On one knee, holding the tray of goodies for his master, Vanilla presents to him the variety of food. Dio lazily takes one and munches it. Unbeknownst to Vanilla, Dio is experiencing a plethora of emotions similar to him.
“Ice,” Dio’s low smooth voice pierces the silence, “What ails you?”
“It’s nothing, sire. Pardon my ill energy.” Vanilla apologizes.
“Hm,” Dio takes a sip of wine and contemplates, “You’re dismissed.”
“Wait, sire,” Vanilla speaks quickly. Dio turns his head, a bit startled by the urgency of Vanilla’s voice, “I must ask you… do you feel something is afoot? There’s a… fog of an invisible threat. Pardon my franticity.”
The blonde man remains silent for a while. It’s true. When I woke up this morning, I had forgotten who I was. I felt like I had been dormant for ages. He thinks of something to ease Vanilla’s tension,
“Well, as you know, the Joestars are planning an attack. They want to be rid of me. Perhaps that is what you are feeling… Mr Ice.” Dio takes another sip, “It is rather unlike you to be so anxious. You’ve got me worried. I do not want this to be a repeat offense from you.”
“Absolutely not, my lord.”
“Good. Now you are dismissed.” Dio waves his servant away. “Oh and one more thing… always remember this, Ice… you are my favorite. Hmhmhmhm…”
“Yes, sire. Very good, sire.” Vanilla feels his cheeks heat up a bit from being complimented.
Another day at the mansion. Another day… another day.
It’s time again for Vanilla Ice to go out shopping to get more supplies and food for the mansion. He gets dressed, does his hair and makeup, then grabs his purse and car keys.
“Aht aht! Cream!” Vanilla wags his finger at his stand, who is chewing a hole in one of the ottomans in the living room. Ice claps his hands and pulls the unruly stand back into his soul, “*20 years and he still doesn’t behave.” *I headcanon Vanilla to have gotten his stand at 5 years old because of the game HFTF*
Vanilla strolls outside and steps into his vehicle, cranks it, and smoothly pulls out of the driveway. It’s a beautiful day, the sky is a perfect shade of blue gently sprinkled with clouds, the temperature is nice and hot, there’s tourists looking at little square devices. Wait what? There’s a few more. And another. And another. And two more. Ice is perplexed and almost swerves into oncoming traffic out of the peculiarity.
“OH SHIT!” Vanilla spins the steering wheel out of the way just in time. The brunette’s heart races. His shoulders are up to his ears with tension and confusion. Vanilla slows down and gives some tourists a bewildered look as he squints. He sees those devices they’re all holding have little screens… like a gameboy but…
Ice drives up to his usual store, however something is off.
“What the hell?” Vanilla steps out of the vehicle and looks up at the sign. It’s different. Way different. As in, this is not the same place he went to the other day… what was the other day anyway? And yesterday? And the day before that? Ice realizes that he had been staring at the sign for far too long when people start to look at him like he’s crazy.
“U-uh… huh.” Vanilla stammers and staggers inside. It is not the same store. Everything looks horrifyingly different.
Vanilla gazes in awe at the technology and sharp yet smoothness of everything in the store.
“Whoa, dude, the 80s called. They want their hair back.” The cashier teases him. Ice gives them a bemused expression,
“What… did you just say?”
“Hey, hey, don’t take it personally. I was just messing with you, it looks good. My parents used to listen to that stuff when they were like, teenagers.” They stretch lazily.
“Listen to what? What are you talking about?” Vanilla presses the cashier for answers.
“Dude, relax! I’m sorry! They like 80s music, it’s cool.” They look at some items on the shelf.
“80s music?” Ice is frozen in place with befuddlement.
“It’s whatever, like I mean… yeah, it’s okay. I like what I like and other people like what they like it’s ok-” Vanilla slams his hands on the shelf,
“No! What the hell is going on?! Why does everything look so-” He does a double take at one of the magazines.
“Hey, hey! Calm down, sir! Do you need me to call somebody?” The cashier asks, “Sir?”
Vanilla hesitantly reaches for the magazine, his manicured fingers trembling.
“Sir? A-are you alright?” The cashier asks but to no avail.
Ice takes the magazine and gives the date a deep gaze. His heart skips a beat. The current year is not 1989. It’s 2022. Vanilla feels reality around him shift and twirl like he was on a rollercoaster.
“Mister?” The cashier tries to speak to him, “Are you alright?”
Vanilla doesn’t look at them,
“Is it really… 2022? Right now?”
“What? Uh… yeah, man. Why? You okay?” They try to calm him a bit.
“That’s impossible. There’s no way. That doesn’t make any sense. That would make me… No. How? How?” Vanilla stumbles out of the shop with the magazine.
“HEY! THOSE AREN’T FREE, YOU KNOW!” The cashier yells to him, “Ugh… That’s literally the 4th guy this week pulling that shit.”
Vanilla hurriedly makes his way back to the mansion and skids the vehicle to a grinding halt. The brunette rushes inside and barrels down the hallway and up the stairs with haste. He knocks on Dio’s bedroom door and kneels, panting, clutching the magazine in one hand as he waits for his master to allow him inside.
“Vanilla Ice… do come in.” Dio’s rich mellow voice fills Vanilla’s eardrums to much of his delight. Vanilla stands back up, takes a deep breath and opens the door with eagerness,
“Sire. We have a situation.”
To be continued…

Sakuma Rei Idol Story (!!): Coffin Dilemma
Rei: Mm...
...
(tossing in his sleep)
...Sigh.
(A few days later)
Aira: Hm~ Hm~ Hmhmhmhm~ Ehehe~ Precious box that fits perfectly in my hands~ I never thought I’d get to buy that store’s limited edition cheesecake. My timing was always off, huh. Today’s my lucky day!
I’m gonna go back to my room, make some yummy tea…then bask in the bliss while savoring this cheesecake! I’m baack~ Uwaaaaa?! W-what on earth?!here’s a coffin in my room?! Um, what? What the heck?! This is super scary! Aww~...I was so happy before…Now I feel cursed…
…Mm. What should I do about this? I looked around, but there’s nothing particularly weird about it. No matter how I look at it, it’s just a normal coffin, huh. No, I mean, a normal coffin *is* unusual. Okay…!
Nothing will change if I just stare at it, so even though I’m crazy scared, I’m gonna look inside…! It could just be someone playing a bad pra–
Rei: ...
Aira: ...
Eichi: I'm back.
Aira: Cry...sob...sniff...
Eichi: Um. Why are you crying Shiratori-kun? Did something happen?
Aira: Sniff…T-Tenshouin-senpai…Sob…S-Sakuma-senpai…Sakuma-senpai is…He’s deaaaaad!
Eichi: By Sakuma-senpai, you mean that Sakuma-kun? You must be mistaken. I don’t think Sakuma-kun, who looks like he wouldn’t die even if my weak self tried to kill him, is dead.
Aira: It’s true! I saw it with my own eyes. That peaceful face in the coffin over there is...! Sob...
Eichi: …Is that how it is. I wonder why the coffin I’m used to seeing at the academy is in this room.
Rei: …Hm? It has been quite noisy for some time now. I would appreciate some quiet…
Aira: Aaaaaaah?! A zombie?! Please pass on, Sakuma-senpai~!
Eichi: Have you calmed down, Shiratori-kun?
Aira: Yes…I never would have thought that he was sleeping in that coffin…I’m sorry for making such a fuss.
Eichi: Good grief. No wonder you misunderstood. Sakuma-kun, I wish you realized how strange and uncommon your habits are.
Rei: Goodness me. It would appear that I caused Shiratori-kun quite the misunderstanding. I sincerely apologize for causing you such a fright.
Eichi: Anyways, haven’t you been sleeping in a bed since you came to the dorm? Why were you sleeping in a coffin again?
Rei: Yes, about that…Recently, I have been having difficulty falling asleep. I have been feeling uneasy in the mornings as well.
Eichi: You’ve had a hard time falling asleep?
Rei: That is correct. Even I have been doing my utmost to resist sleeping in a coffin in our shared space, you know? I cannot bring my coffin to film sets and work sites, so I have been endeavoring to become acclimated to sleeping in a bed every day.
Yet no matter where I go, it’s always bed, bed, bed…When it comes to bedding, it’s always beds. This constant feeling of freedom has caused my stress to rapidly accumulate. I craved that nostalgic sensation of being bound as if gently and tightly embraced…Sob sob sob…
Aira: Sakuma-senpai…I feel bad for you…
Eichi: Don’t fall for it, Shiratori-kun. Don’t you feel bad for messing with an innocent junior, Sakuma-kun?
Rei: Eh, what do you mean, Tenshouin-kun?
Eichi: There’s no use playing innocent. It won’t work on me.
Eichi: Moreover, it’s only natural that all you see are beds wherever you go. If you plan to make a living as an idol, you had best get used to sleeping in a bed. How did this coffin even get here? I recall it being in the light music club room at school.
Rei: Indeed. When the agency staff saw my haggard self, they graciously retrieved it for me. They told me to at least have a short rest.
Eichi: Good grief. You even troubled the agency staff…Jeez…Anyways, were you able to get some rest? The dorm is a shared space, so I would appreciate it if you didn’t leave any more troublesome things here. Could you please put this back where it goes immediately?
Rei: How blunt. Could you not bear to show me even a shred of sympathy?
Eichi: If this coffin is here the next time I come back to this room, I intend to remove it by any means necessary.
Rei: What a demonic man!
Koga: “--So that is what happened."
"The demonic Tenshouin-kun bade me return my coffin to the light music room, so I will return it with this letter. From, Sakuma Rei”...? Don’t return this thing when the club room just opened up, you vampire bastard!

for the aa game, questions number 16, 19, 20, and 21? im kinda curious about your thoughts on those
yeyyyses aa asks thank you nonnie :DD
(somehow, these answers are even longer than last time. proceed with caution)
16. If there was anything you could change about the series, what would it be?
ohhh man there is SO much to discuss on this one. for starters, id probably keep shu takumi as the director for aa5 and aa6 because yeah. yep. while the characters were written really awesomely in those games imo, the plots execution kinda,,, ruined all that potential. soo many holes, and nothing made sense DLJLDK
next, id actually like!! keep the focus on whatever new characters are supposed to star in the games!! i talked about this too on my meta blog. phoenix is great and all, but bringing him back as a protag in everything just for the Brand(tm) was,,, a really bad choice. so give apollo the spotlight, athena her own game, and keep phoenix off to the side plEase.
same with edgeworth!! we need more focus on the other rivals (klavier, franziska, etc etc). love him and all, but his arc ended ages ago back in the triology. and it really bugs me when they use him for everything, because like, we know capcom has the ability to write great character arcs!! edgeworth is a great sign on that!! but they just forgot about SO many other people for his sake!!
oh oh also, they just need to bring back other characters in general. gumshoe, lana, klavier, yknow like. give other characters CRUMBS of what phoenix and edgeworth get pl
and finally, i just want them to talk about what happened in previous games. in the og triology, it was good cuz YES it was annoying when we got a flashback of dl6 every time but ALSO. also!!! dl6 is like, a crucial part of edgeworth and mayas and a couple other peoples development!!! the issue in aa5 and aa6 mostly, is that theyre SO scared of spoiling previous games, which reallllyyy hindered any possible development we couldve gotten :(
19. Favorite character design?
i talked about this more in emas opinion thingy, but definitely hers. everyone else kinda goes bloo blah on keeping the same outfit for literal decades,,, but hers actually changed a lot, while still keeping the lab coat and goggles!! theres also a lot of easter eggs in her design? like the pink princess pin? and the badge thingy as well, b/c those appeared on other peoples outfits and plot and that was just a really nice detail imo
20. Worst motive?
hoo boy. okay. i cant reeeally think of anything off the top of my head, because most of them were pretty cool, but yknow whos really sucked? ambassador albas!!!!! aai was SUPER fun and i loved a lot of the reveals!!! but the drug dealing subplot was,,,, really boring and gave me a headache. it took me an actual week of gameplay to finally convict him, all because he didnt want to be found out as the leader of the smuggling ring. really stupid
21. Favorite backstory?
hmhmhmhm,,, tbh, a lot of the main people have super fascinating backstories? i wont say edgeworth for this because it does get kinda tiring hearing it, apollo has 50, klavier has none and phoenix just gets like. 3 big things that happened in the past and we dont know anything else
after all that,,, probably lanas. i know she only appears for ONE case, but since i already answered ema, i really liked hers. because shes a strong person!! but even after all that, she couldnt do what she really wanted,,, and when she became a prosecutor it was gants fault,,, and everything was getting corrupted right in front of her,,, but she couldnt do anything cuz ema,,, yep. top tier stuff. itd be even better if we could get some context on intellectual attraction tho,,, :(
oh my GOSH i can fit so much rambling into these i apologize <//3 but thank you thank you thank you for wanting to hear these!! it means so much that people dont mind me talking this much dfkmgkfdm

Yang (humming): Hm hm hm~… *Suddenly gets pulled and falls back* Wah!
*Jaune catches her with ease, kisses her on the lips, then stands her back up*
Yang (surprised): Whoa! *Giggles* Didn’t see that coming, ladykiller!

Yang (grinning): 5 minutes!
Jaune (smirking): 1 minute!

Yang (breaking the kiss): Your hoodie would look better if I was the one wearing it.
Jaune: I’d love to use your bare thighs as earmuffs.
Yang: You’re on my list of things to do tonight~.
Jaune: You know how your hair would look really good? On my lap.
Yang: You wanna know what has four legs and doesn’t have the most awesome girl on it? Your bed.
Jaune (picking her up bridal carry style, smiling): Then let’s fix that, my queen!

BNHA 233!!! A stressful chapter where everyone who matters is suffering T_T


So we go back to where the OG Twice is tending to the thankfully still living and breathing Toga. I am trying my best to ignore Twice’s creepy comments about measurements—the man is panicking and maybe it’s his way of trying not to spiral into despair... I just wish they made him say something else T_T
Being the medical nerd that I am I really appreciate how his quirk was explained and how he made it apply to medical emergencies. So apart from blood transfusions, as long as your original form is intact he can clone you for your organs or anything else you might need to survive. I know that Toga’s somehow going to survive thru this but I wonder what sort of permanent damage will she obtain after all these injuries.
There’s also an interesting comment by Twice about how Dabi can introduce her to a good plastic surgeon??? I wonder if this is a throwaway comment, or if Dabi knows someone in the medical field, hmmm??? Say, maybe a relative who is training in the medical sciences??? A certain white-haired guy whose last name starts with a T and rhymes with odoroki who might have reasons for helping even a villain out? Hmhmhmhm


Next focus: Spinner. I was waiting for too long for the focus to shift back to him and, dammit my feels are all over the place for this guy. He’s been discriminated all his life for his quirk, became a NEET and found meaning and significance with a group who wants to cause destruction. :( I kinda remember Serizawa from MP100?? People just want a purpose in life, and they can do either good or evil as long as they feel relevant. It’s touching that he has decided more than ever to relieve Shigaraki of a ‘burden’ which tells me that his intentions, as a human being who cares, are not that bad! It’s really just AfO screwing with everything ugh
On that note, Politician Guy sucks! I think even tho it isn’t dramatic, Gecko is an awesome quirk. Especially for someone who can wield knives and kill people and who has a purpose, like Spinner. I hope this awesome lizard survives because I really want him to meet his fellow lizard Tokage in the future


I like Shigs’ demeanor here. Pissed off, righteously so. So powerful that even after dusting an entire building he still has so much power that he’s disintegrating things beyond his touch, even the scruffy chucks on his feet, with the intent to destroy ReDestro. Considering how big a handicap his sleep deprivation and exhaustion is from the set-up these past few chapters, his powers are freakin’ scary and I can imagine a difficult time for the pros once they have to face off each other. Thing is, I think he’s realizing his destructive potential because Shigs is fighting for someone (his team!) instead of the ideals/orders of AfO earlier in the story. Which is an interesting development, I wonder how this will apply to how they’re fighting the heroes in the future.

And here we have the panel that scared the bejeezus out of me when I saw the spoilers. ReDestro took a huge fuckin chunk of Shigs’ left hand!!! D: is Shigs a lefty? It looks painful, to be sure, and it’s going to cause Shigs a new set of problems that comes with amputation of a limb, but I doubt that this will do anything to the destructive capability of his quirk because he still has a right hand and feet, and apparently he’s strong enough to destroy things beyond his reach now

That said, I am confident that either Shigs or Machia are kicking this receding hairline dude’s ass after the hiatus. And also, politician man and salty Gorillaz dude and this jerk who hugged Todobaku way back when. And I can’t wait to see it happen!

💕 Sae getting so excited about doing well in a DDR game ? More likely than you think.
kiss day meme || [ open ]
💕 …out of sheer excitement
It was one thing for Sae to be so focused and in the moment as the arrows paraded up the screen. Wylan hadn’t expected, however, to be so white-knuckled himself during the visit to the arcade. Sae trying her hand at DDR was, well, not really a joke but something he suggested for fun! He hadn’t anticipated her to be so enthusiastic about getting a full clear, just for her to enjoy it once or twice before they decided to go pick up a home kit. They were still at the arcade!
Wylan had underestimated her determination in this endeavor, clearly. And he was being impressed far more than he would have thought. She wasn’t a natural at the game, but there was definitely potential for her to be good at it. The song she was playing was mild in difficulty, and the setting was fairly mild as well, but still something wouldn’t put on for a beginner. But she was confident that she could do it!
That was 4 tries ago, this would be her fifth. Her heels had been discarded after attempt 2, now just in her socks as she hops left and right and criss and cross. Wylan is at the next machine over, hands gripped on the style bar and feeling like he could crush a walnut in his grip. As if she wasn’t incredible already, seeing her move like this was intoxicating for the man. She had such great control of her body and such great coordination with her feet and legs. Probably thanks to that martial art training she did. Ugh. Good thing she was so focused, otherwise she might see the hearts bubbling in his eyes. Talk about embarrassing.
So close. She was so close to getting the full clear! Just another few seconds! The finale....!!!
The display lights up in congratulations, throwing some nice sparkles and glittering letters spelling out FULL CLEAR for the elated lawyer. She squeals like a schoolgirl, balling up her fists and jumping up in the air to pump her fists. Wylan hoots out as well, clapping his hands and about to offer some words of praise before she’s thrown herself into his arms, looping her own around his neck and pressing her lips to his.
“MMm? Mm... hmhmhmhm... mmm...” No reason for him to fight it of course, he’s smiling and snickering during the moment, his own arms gripped onto her hips as she finally pulls away.
“Did you see? Did you see? I did it!” She exclaims, eyes lit up and now gasping for bits of air. Apparently the adrenaline and focus was still so strong that she didn’t realized what she’d done, in public no less. Wylan wasn’t planning on rubbing it in. He instead presses his lips to hers in response, pulling away and lifting a brow.
“Of course I did. How could I not be watching as you kicked some butt? Not to mention how good your butt looked doing it.”

me: i don’t have anything to post ughhh also me: has 10 95% finished drafts i could literally take an hour to finish and upload but won’t me: lemme start a new analysis
aaaaaa the mural of mayhem looks so good (source)
tl;dr: bunches of new environment shots. also i wanna time travel So Bad, just so Bad,,, gearbox, please, time travel??? i wanna meet The Man Typhon Deleon just *clenches fist* so bad and slap him for leading to the opening of the first vault. also for some reason tina is the only one of the good guys with the fabric stuff the twins are wearing. be warned. oh, also, there might be some ursa mechs? i saw like 3 robos that look like iron bear but aren’t colored like it so who even knows. oh and we see the scientist (?) dude in color next to Tannis from the MoM. he seems cool evil.
i don’t even know where to begin here so let’s start with the middle and work our way towards literally whatever catches my eye next. i have no method, im a disaster
OwO
nothing too special about our VHs here, they seem to be using the gold gun skins that are offering in either the early adopter pack or the other pack u get i think for signing up to be a VIP. so that’s neat. also shows off the good guys = blue/yellow theme we see throughout the mural.
there is this weird square shape in the sky/clouds above them? idk what it’s supposed to be, though. a logo? a ship? a building? i can’t tell!
i could be wrong/seeing things though lol
zoomer isn’t colored in! probably didn’t want to detract from the main 4 VHs. additionally, Amara’s arms don’t have their patterns across them.
Moze is also the only VH here with a hint as to what her Action Skill is. IB is elsewhere on the mural, though. We’ll get to him.
the Vault behind them!
moving down below the VHs, we see this ship
I’ve spoken about it before, so i won’t go into it here
bandits? i think! looks like at least one of them is wearing power armor... or just a suit of armor in general. it looks like power armor to me tho lol
another set of silhouettes in the foreground on the right there. can’t tell who/what they’re supposed to be unfortunately, but im going to assume more bandits
interestingly, we see the ruins of helios SUPER close and, even more interestingly, what appears to be a Vault in front of it! Which could very well be the Vault of the Traveler? since the Traveler itself can’t teleport it anymore (cause y’know... it ded.) It has a weird shape at the bottom, idk what that is supposed to be. it looks like a curvy outline of an arrow tbh lol. i wonder if the Vault actually did teleport Rhys and Fiona somewhere. I also wonder if the thing on the bottom is meant to help ‘visitors’ or something idk use/see/extract whatever was in the Vault. there was like some stairs and then a chest..? thing? idek.
but yeah, looks like the Vault by Helios is doing well. Also, Vaughn apparently knows Rhys is on Promethea (soon) after the end of tales so I wonder if that actually is a portal... either way, i hope this means we’ll get to go visit 👀 We’ve visited the ruins of helios already in commander lilith, so hopefully this isn’t too much of a stretch.
to the right of that we see Lorelei knockin the shit out of a goliath that seems... kinda small compared to her? idk maybe it’s cause he’s lying down (and out).
We also see another instance of Mystery Girl up at the top there, though she’s in the exact same pose as the mask of mayhem which makes me kinda sad. i was hoping to see another angle of her or something. I do hope she’s actually in the game and isn’t just a statue. be wild if tyreen gave her the suck or something to turn her into a statue to preserve her in the hopes that doing the reverse succ/getting the ultimate power would let ty bring her back to life at a later point lmao
below lorelei we can see a crimson raider in the ash cloud! i have no idea why he’s there but he’s lookin baller.
next to to lorelei is a titan (unsure if that’s the official name for these big guys or if the one in the showcase was unique) a skag and clappy! I can’t tell if clappy is holding something in his left arm or not
also the background looks like a city. i think that is promethea? i can’t really tell tbh
next to clappy we see part of a ferris wheel which im pretty sure is part of the circus area we’ve seen in the trailers. the one with the circle emblem thing above the door/entrance.
below clappy/marcus we see what i think is part of Eden-6
the bridge/road has me going like 🤔 but the foliage pretty much confirms it. might be related to that research base looking area. might be related to jakobs manor (maybe they have a bridge to keep bandits out) idk
above that we see marcus looking some cash to a bunch of psychos. I think he has an ECHO skin? i can’t really tell. not really much to say here tbh, is marcs.
behind him we see this landscape which i don’t think we’ve seen before. the tree is screaming Athenas at me but tbh i think we’ve only seen red trees there, haven’t we? also is that the handle of a sword near the bottom there? wtf is that?
maybe a new planet? or a new biome on one of the planets we haven’t seen yet. it looks like a savanna tree to me. you know the ones?
yeah. possible new planet/new biome we haven’t seen yet?? i would ADORE a savanna type area.
next to that we see a tink and a skag in front of the HBC. I thiiink the tink is holding a flamethrower? not sure, though. maybe a miniboss like midgemong? that’d be neat asf
i can’t tell if this is a suit of power armor/a robot or just part of the environment lol, i can see the helmet up top and a big bulky body. i would love to fight power armored enemies like that, be so cool! maybe these are modified suits of the ursa corps project? or something. idk about the helmet.
above the tink/skag combo we can see more silhouettes in the foreground. i seriously can’t make out who they’re supposed to be :( maybe some maliwan troops? i feel like they’d be more recognizable, though. hmhmhmhm
in the background we see another robo/power armor suit (???? i think????), this one seems to have a flamethrower, which is kinda reinforcing my theory they might be repurposed armor sets. this one doesn’t appear to have a helmet. kinda get the feeling they’re either repurposed or completely different cuz the helmet on the other one is throwing me off a touch. IB doesn’t have a helmet.
for reference.
above that weirdly confusing collection of entities, we have hammerlock!
my boiii
and finally to the left of hammerlock we get to the big boy of this side of the mural
the god queen herself.
first thing i noticed? her jacket seems to be warping into that weird fabric we see clinging to other baddies throughout the mural and covering her right leg.
She seems to be holding up a grenade/molotov cocktail/smoke bomb?
pretty sure it’s a molotov cocktail though
i love how the smoke merges into the roses above her. really cool detail. you can also see the recruitment center to the right there! and a crane which makes me double down on the idea that the ‘vault’ we see in the booth thing had been excavated by dahl (considering the main building of the RC is a dahl building)
we also see a fire rakk? ?? i think? be cool if we got badass elemental rakks. i’ve only ever seen normal badass rakks. i wonder if this is a play on the fact there’s a psycho in the MoM with rakk wings and the twins stole lily’s firehawk powers... probably not, right? probably not...
ty’s tattoos are lookin kinda green for me here, might be the close proximity to all those browns and reds, though. it’d be really cool if she could pull an amara and swap her succ elements LMAO
a bunch of psychos! all with wings! which is weird cause the sirens don’t have wings here. weird chunk of symbolism i guess. we can see a tubby on the top there which makes me happy to know they’re coming back. there’s one with
a glowing nose
and there’s this figure on the very left
who doesn’t appear to be a psycho at all
also, note that all these psychos have a ‘normal’ brown/gray buzzaxe
the one at the bottom here, on ty’s left has a more golden-colored buzzaxe. im p sure that corresponds to rank in cult. i also feel obligated to point out that, while im 90% sure that flame is coming from the flamethrower on the right there, it does kinda look like the bottom psycho is shooting a blast of flames out of his palm.
moving right along
the whole entourage seems to be laying across a statue of roses, which match the ones at the top of the mural AND the ones on the cover art.
we see a shot of Pandora and Elpis here (I’m pretty sure. the purple light at the top right makes me believe that’s the eridian scar, but.... may not be)
looks very volcanic...
we see one of those lil video game dudes from the demo, forgot their names but they’re Maliwan
below them we see this scene
which is an area i don’t recognize. eden-6 maybe? the buildings seem a bit close together, though.
tbh i thought this was another city at first, maybe it’s Promethea from ye olde days? you know, before Atlas took over and modernized it. Maybe we’ll get to go back in time to stop the first Vault from ever being opened. that’d be pretty cool. man time travel would be wild. i wonder if we’d be able to combine the Vault of the Traveler and the Vault of the Sentinel to do that. now that’d be cool.
but it’s probably eden-6 lmao
quadruple threat here. from top to bottom: Rhys, Zer0, Vaughn, Aurelia? i think.
her hair seems spikier in the mask bit... maybe that’s not her? she also doesn’t have the earrings. idk who else it could be, though. 🤔
anyway. Vaughn seems to be climbing a cliff or something lol. at least he’s got a cape and his relic of strength on him.
rhys and zer0 are in the same poses as their poses on the Mask of Mayhem, just colored in.
biggg statue of ty. noticeably missing her facial scars. not much else to say, pretty sure this is just a different(ish) angle of her MoM statue during the pan around.
back to the bottom center of the mural, let’s move left
someone with a jetpack! i can’t make out who, though. i thought it was Moze at first but... she needs her digistruct pack for iron bear.
Also a bunch of psychos all fighting each other. over the buzzaxes maybe? if they really are a symbol of rank in the cult. that or they’re just being psychos.
this area with a waterfall and also a drainage pipe. i think this is also eden-6, but i am not 100% sure. probably an area we haven’t seen yet.
lily!! her right (our left) wing looks really weird to me, idk what it is. it’s a lot redder/yellower than her left one. Also, the tattoos near her wrist look like they’re coming off her arm.
to the left of lily we see ellie!
holding a whole-ass street sign. insane.
next/behind her is promethea! which we’ve seen before. it looks like one of the buildings in the middle there is getting blasted by something, but idk what. maybe something Maliwan?
also, on the left there we can see what i thought was iron bear
but now i am second guessing myself due to the other robos/armor suits we saw on the right of the mural.
maybe they did not color in IB fully like Zoomer? it looks like there is someone/something where the turret mount would be. maybe that is moze standing up there? it would be really interesting to see other Ursa Corps soldiers coming in. I know they mentioned in the Commander Lily ECHO log that Vladof was at war with Tediore, and we know through their advertisements for bl2 that Vladof is also at war with Dahl. It’s possible we’ll see some of their troops in the game! especially since Moze’s echo actually talks about the troop as a whole and not specifically her, unlike the others.
next to the mystery mech or iron bear (you decide) we see Mystery Girl/Little Blue/Nope Girl
and, yeah, starting to think she may not actually fit into the timeline of Steele’s death. she looks older than 12 to me (for reference, in bl2 tina was 13). but we haven’t quite seen enough of her so who knows. im getting ‘way too tall’ vibes. maybe 14-15? maybe mystery MoM girl is her little sister. i would not be surprised if we saw another sibling relationship to juxtapose the twins (considering mystery girl looks like a CoV bandit, they’d be distant at the start and close at the end of the game while the twins are close at the start and distant at the end of the game- we know Danny Homan said their relationship would start to warp).
below her we see this area
i think that’s a water tank at the bottom there? this looks kinda like a garden/courtyard area to me. Maybe another place on Athenas? i want to say Athenas bc Little Blue is directly above it. may be another new planet/biome/region we haven’t seen yet.
Above L.B we see this car
which is interesting to me bc it appears to have a closed top? I could be wrong though. would be fun to see Vasquez’s car make a return, tho lol (and then everyone gets mad the fuckin car is making an appearance but Gaige isn’t)
above that we see Tina and Mordy (and Talon) making an appearance. Tina appears to be in the same pose as her Mappearancence, including the huge launcher behind her which has me like :O Talon is a girl now in bl3, right? unless their gender changed again after the commander lilith stuff.
Also, I’m hesitant to note that Tina is the only ‘good guy’ character to have the fabric on. Everyone other character with it is either a psycho or one of the twins. I hope that’s just artistic choice and nothing more because :(
also she has bows on her shoes. fucking ace
to their right we see 3 very interesting things so we’ll go in order from the bottom counter clockwise
another mystery dude who seems to match the one we saw by tyreen, and those silhouettes again. It looks like they’re reaching down to save their falling teammates. i hope they’re alright. (unless they’re evil. then, oof, crash and burn)
at the top i can see a bunch of men with guns pointed at what i think is a jabber? but the lower bit i can’t make out. someone’s falling at the very bottom, it looks like a second falling figure has been caught with rope? idk.
above that scene we see
tannis! and the mystery guy to the bottom right. the one we’ve seen standing next to her in the MoM. does he have red eyes for anyone else or is that just me? might just be the lighting. Do I think he’s evil? you know the fuck i do. I trust nobody lol. Since I’m a fan of the “the twins are the product of a weird experiment” theory, it’s possible he is the experimenter. Tannis could’ve been feeding him information. maybe she didn’t even know what was going on- though, knowing her disregard for ethics, maybe she did.
this guy btw
it looks like tannis is holding an eridian artifact?
maybe?? it looks like she’s holding it horizontally, if it is an artifact.
to her right and our left we see a familiar shot of Promethea. I’ve seen this exact frame before, iirc that building is smoking bc it’s Rhys’s office. actually, that could explain Rhys joining us on Sanc-III! maybe Lorelei, too.
above Tina and Mordy we see Brick
and to the right of him, Moxxi and her bar sign
she has a new megaphone, i wonder if that is hinting we’ll be getting more circles of slaughters/underdomes. It would be nice to have her commentary return, i actually really enjoyed that in the bl1 dlc and I did actually enjoy her dlc. The wave combat was fun. I’d love to have an endless wave version to see how long i could survive.
it also looks like there are a bunch of psychos (?) hanging out around the bar. and this character at the bottom right who i don’t recognize
to the far right of moxxi we see Maya
i think this is a new pose, but tbh i don’t see anything noteworthy here. I do think it’s interesting she’s using pistols instead of smgs, but oh well. might just be for the poses lol
Troy’s statue. one interesting bit i gotta mention is that it looks like the cut on the right side of his face (our left) is visible here! iirc it was not visible on his portraits in the MoM. so that’s new!
the big boy of this side of the mural!
none of the psychos on this side seem to have golden buzzaxes, plus their drapes? wtf are these? they don’t look like robes to me. anyway, they’re darker in color than the ones on Ty’s side. might be artistic direction, might be showing they’re not as high rank as the ones with the god queen (vs the right hand man lol)
i also only see 2 psychos with wings here, the one on the very left and you can see part of a wing on the bottom right. They also don’t appear to be resting/climbing on a statue like Tyreen’s are. There is ALSO a lot less of them.
some interesting stuff about Troy: his stomach tattoos don’t seem to be around, but that could be because of the detail level required- would probably look like a big ol smudge. it is cool seeing Troy with a gun, is this the first time? i can’t remember, but i know we always saw him with his sword. i find it kinda funny they decided on the gun considering this is supposed to be renaissance, the sword would (kinda) be more fitting in that regard. it is also a giant glowy tech sword, so maybe not.
Also, Ty’s side of the mural is the only one with the roses. idk if that’s to signify something or just to balance out colors, though you’d think the red clouds on troy’s side couldve been easily converted to roses as well. hmmm 🤔
anyway, this is all i’ve got. if i missed something/if you think of something new please tell me! i wanna know 👀

A Moth in a Spider's Snare (hetalia FRUK)
Reading into the late night one evening, dressed in my evergreen nightgown, I saw a moth. It was a black peppered moth with a white body; it was beautiful. Gracefully drifting towards my candle light, but there was something in between my candle light and the beautiful moth; a shimmering spider’s web, and the moth was so entranced by the flame’s flickering glow that it didn’t notice the web. I tried to stop it and catch it, but every time it fluttered out of the way of my hands. I attempted in vain to save the moth and watched as it flew straight into the spider’s trap.
The poor thing only entangled itself more as it struggled in the spider’s pearly strings. When it struggled it only solidified its death more because now the sector spider, that had made this beautiful and elaborate trap, came down to meet the little moth that struggled in vain.
Slowly it encased the peppered moth in it’s silky threads until I could no longer see it. Then once the moth had finished its struggling and accepted its fate the spider sunk its fangs into the innocent moth and like that the moth’s life was no more.
I sighed and watched as the spider enjoyed it’s meal then slink back into its hiding spot to wait for another innocent creature to fly into its embrace again.
I sighed. I was at another ridiculous ball, but luckily I was with a friend this time. Amelia Grace, a very excitable young woman that had many men after her affection. Tonight Amelia was dressed in a very fancy evergreen silk ball gown with black velvet gloves, as always, she liked to flounce around and let everyone know that she had money.
On the other hand I was dressed in a simple white ball gown with ebony lace trimming. Nothing too fancy, but my name was so well known that I didn’t have to dress up to let everyone know I had money.
Amelia came back to me and grinned, “oh Alice! Don’t you think you’re being a bit boring just standing there taking sips of your champagne? Were at a party in Paris, Paris!” I rolled my eyes, yes it was another simple party, nothing exciting about it. I had been to far too many to be excited about parties, I would've preferred to be back in England at my summer estate in my library reading.
“Yes I know that, and this is not champagne, this is water.”
“Realy?! You’re drinking water at a party full of wine and booze?!”
I glared at her then sighed “yes, you should know my family well enough by now that you know that none of us can hold our liqueur.” I grumbled to her. She rolled her eyes then gasped. “What?” I questioned turning my gaze to where hers was. My emerald eyes clashed with a pair of sapphire blue ones and I realized with a start that the host of the party Francis Araignée one of the wealthiest bachelors in France was staring at me.
I looked over to Amelia and she was smirking at me, “what?!” I snapped “it looks like someone’s got a bit of a crush~” she cooed. My face turned red from embarrassment. “Wh-what?! N-No! I-I-I-” I continued to stammer on until Amelia’s smirk grew and she took out her green fan with its black fluffy tips and unfurled it in front of her face then turned away.
At first I was confused but then I heard a deep and smooth voice behind me “bonjour.” I swiftly turned around startled by the sudden voice, and there standing behind me in a dark blue winter suit, in the middle of summer, and black pants. His blond hair was tied back by a navy colored ribbon and it gently fell down just hardly touching the end of his neck.
He had a small bit of stubble over his jaw and his blue orbs were even more piercing up close. My heart fluttered and I could feel my cheeks turning red, “ah um, b-bongour.” I was horrible when it came to needing to speak French with anyone, but if it were on my own with my tutors or when I was at least calmed down! I could speak French without a problem, but this was not the case.
“Hmhmhmhm, you are not very good at speaking my language, no?”
“N-Not at th-the moment.” I blushed cursing myself for being so nervous.
“Hmhmhmhm, there’s no need to be so scared mon cher~”
“Oh bloody god he-he really just called me hi-his- oh- oh god.”
I cleared my throat and tried my best to calm my nerves, “sorry, that was quite rude of me, stuttering and acting so scared when there’s nothing to be nervous of.” I smiled politely and a beautiful smile came over his face. “There’s no reason to apologize, I actually found it quite endearing and cute of you. Ah, where are my manners, my name is Francis Araignée.”
Francis bowed lowly, took my left hand, and kissed my ring fingers’ knuckle. I felt my face turn a dark shade of crimson “u-umm. Kmhm, Alice. My name is Alice Ignatius a pleasure to meet you.” I curtsied and looked towards the ground then glanced back up to him, “my my, Alice Ignatius? How is it that I’ve been blessed to have you come to my humble ball?” He chuckled playfully.
I smiled sweetly “I was dragged here against my will by my strong willed friend Amelia,” when I mentioned that I hadn’t wanted to come in the first place Francis looked truly decimated, “but I’m beginning to be thankful for my friend bringing me here. The party’s seemed to become more enjoyable now that you’ve joined me.”
Francis looked like he was about to pop with joy knowing that he had made the party more bearable for me, even though I would've been fine. We quietly talked with one another and shared our enjoyments and our distastements.
Francis even convinced me to come out to the dance floor and join him in a dance. The dance ended up being a slow dance and all I could do was fall more and more helplessly in love with this man.
The dance had ended and Francis had left me for the moment to go and get us some drinks when Amelia came up looking quite worried. “Alice! Alice we need to leave now!” I was taken back not just twenty minutes ago she was happily dancing and enjoying herself.
“What? Why?”
“Mr. Araignée isn’t who he says he is! We need to get out of here.” She whisper yelled.
“What do you mean?”
“He’s a killer, he’s like the Jack the Ripper of Paris!”
I was taken back, Francis was a killer? Like Jack the Ripper? My Francis was a murderer?! No! I wouldn’t believe it! He was so kind so sweet so gentle and… and loving. “Amelia I’ve gone along with your charades before, I’ve believed whatever strange stories you’ve came up with, but this, this I will not believe.” I huffed,
“Mr. Araignée is nowhere near the standard you’ve made up.”
“What- no you’ve got to believe me! He’s not safe, and you’re his next kill! I just-”
“No. I will not believe you. You are making up some strange and absurd story to get me to leave so that you may steal him from me.” I snapped angrily.
Amelia looked taken back, I had never snapped angrily at her. I had always indulged her and her sister in their ridiculous stories, but this was stepping over a line that wasn’t meant to be crossed. I turned away as she attempted and tried in vain to get me to leave, but I wouldn’t, my Francis was no killer.
Sighing I found my way outside. I could hear that the party was beginning to die down, and I knew my friend had left and that meant my way home had left to. I leaned against the white railing that looked out over a beautiful garden that reminded me of my own. A gentle smile drifted over my lips and I gently began to hum a Celtic lullaby that my mother had taught me. “Mon cher what are you doing out here?”
I yelped and turned around, there he was my Francis. “Oh Mr. Araignée it’s just you.” I giggled covering my mouth while I did so. He gently took my hand from my covering my lips; I was confused when he did, “please mon cher call me Francis, and please do not cover up your beautiful face.”
My cheeks turned red and I smiled. Francis gently pressed his hand on my cheek and I hesitantly leaned into his touch.
“Mon cher?”
“Hmm?”
“Do you have any way of getting home tonight?”
I thought for a moment. Amelia was most likely gone, and what she had said really did rattle me, and I guess I could just grab a buggy to get home, but,
“No, my friend and I got into a bit of an argument earlier and I believe she’s left me.” A gentle smile came over Francises lips,
“Then mon cher would you like to stay the night here?”
I was more than delighted to stay the night, and Francis seemed quite happy as well. He lead me back into the ballroom to find it completely deserted, the lights put out, and bathed in the cold but enchanting blue light of the moon. Everything was meticulously cleaned and put away and it looked as if there had been no party at all.
We made our way through the house and he showed me everything. Our arms were hooked around one another's as we made our way through the house, but by the end of the tour my hand was in Francises and his in mine.
Francis and I were in the sunroom, and unlike most sunrooms the whole room was completely made of glass! The icy blue moonlight streamed down and carefully landed on his face that was steadily gazing out into the night, and I could hardly retain the small gasp that came from me.
At the sound of my gasp Francis turned his head to look at me. His bright blue eyes glowed in the dark and his gently tanned face looked pearled in the moonlight. He looked at me in a confused manner “mon cher what is wrong?” I couldn't look him in the eye and I could feel a bright red blush cover my cheeks, “nothing’s wrong, it’s just that you look quite handsome in the moonlight…” I trailed off, I knew women weren’t meant to speak their thoughts but I couldn’t help it, and I didn’t regret saying it either.
A soft chuckle came from him and he gently tilted my chin up so I could meet his gaze. “Thank you for the complement mon cher, you look beautiful as well,” and the next thing I knew he kissed me. It was scandalous, I know, but I couldn’t help but kiss back. This was my first kiss, and I was more than happy to give it to him.
His lips were soft and gentle, but they were cold. It was a strange feeling, feeling something that you would think to be warm be so cold, then I noticed it, his whole body was cold. No wonder he wore a winter suite in the summer, he must have been freezing.
Slowly pulling back we gazed at one another, a gentle smile climbed onto his face. “Mon cher, I love you.” I was speechless he loved me, he loved me! I couldn’t stop the shimmering tears from slipping down my face, “I love you to Fran-” I was cut off by a staggering pain in my side. I stepped back to find a dark red blotch growing in my gown.
Gasping I looked up to Francis and he had a dark and twisted gleam in his eyes, a dagger in his hand, and a charming smirk on his face. “Mon cher, what’s wrong?” He crowed. He began to step forward and I turned and ran. A dark laugh followed me as I clutched onto the bleeding wound,
“You may run mon cher! But I will find you and I will get you!~”
“How could I have been such a fool?!”
Somehow I found my way to the entry way and I desperately flung myself at the door. I pulled and pushed but the doors were locked. Things began to spin and fuzz around the edges, and then his evil laugh sounded behind me. I could feel his breath on the back of my neck, and I could feel him twisting a lock of my long hair playing with it.
“It is a slow acting poison that will take away your sight my dear then slowly kill you~ Hmhmhm~ The doors are lock and the windows are barred you are trapped my dear, and there is no one here to help you~”
“You are a monster.” I slurred as I turned to face him.
He was beautiful, and I knew that I would never not be in love with him. I had fallen helplessly in love with a beautiful and sadistic man. The smirk on his face grew,
“Your little friend was right about me. She saw me kill one of the guests, that is why everyone left so soon. The officers came and arrested an innocent man that I framed;”
When he stated that he was the one to frame the man he put his hand on his chest then flicked his wrist and hair, obviously proud of what he’d done,
“you were so lost in your own world that you didn’t even notice when your friend attempted to get you, but she was not allowed and of course the officers stopped her and sent her home~”
“You. How dare you!” I roared and punched him.
He stumbled backwards obviously taken back by the act of violence, and while he was taken back I ran, well more of stumbled, away. I didn’t know where I was, but I knew he was behind me, and that’s what kept me going.
The poison was getting worse; the spinning was becoming faster and now everything was fuzzy. Colors slowly began to fade as my head began to feel more and more like a fish bowl.
Until finally, I could no longer see.
Now Francis was toying with me, he was drifting just close enough so that I could feel him. A brush of his hand against my cheek, arm, or hand, a gentle gust of his breath against the back of my neck, a soft whisper in my ear. I had no idea where I was going, but all I knew was that I had to run.
My footfalls began to echo and I knew where I was; I was in the ballroom where everything had began.
I felt like I was in one of my horror novels, I could tell that if anyone of the authors that’s beautiful poetry were writing my story this would definitely be one of Edgar Allen Poe’s works.
While my mind had drifted off one of my feet caught the hem of my dress and I fell. “Ahh!” Catching myself I could hear his footsteps behind me. My head whipped around and I felt his hand on my cheek. He lowered himself down to me, and my blind emerald eyes glowed in fear. Tears began to fall from my eyes and drift down my face.
“Oh mon cher~” his voice was soft and sounded like he was hurt looking at what he had done to me, but I knew, he held no remorse for me; this was his favored part,
“Spare me your taunting Francis, I know I’m going to die.” I spat at him.
“Hmhmhm~ even when you are moment’s away from death you are still a burning fire~ I truly wish that I did not have to kill such a beautiful creature…” Francis mused as his frozen hand stroked my cheek lovingly.
I was taken back; my mouth hung open like a fish’s,
“But alas I have no other choice~ the monster must be fed~”
Francis leaned down and captured my lips in a hesitant kiss, unlike our first there was regret in this one, and I nearly fell for his fake love again. He could cover everything in honey and make anything beautiful but even though I was blind I could see that he was a psychopath, and he held no love for me.
“Je t’aime Alice Ignatius~”
The next moment I felt a sharp pain rip through my heart. Pain seared through my veins, due to his poison, but then quickly faded as things became cold. I began to hear less and my sight was already gone from the poison, but I felt Francis stand and begin to walk away.
The vibrations from his foot falls rippled across the dance floor like music, as he retreated my hearing faded away with Francises vibrating footsteps.
Collapsing onto my back I looked over to where I thought he was,
“N-no...”
Francis stopped and turned around as her weak voice echoed around the room and attacked him. He was taken back none of his other victims had ever spoken in their final moments, had ever lasted this long with his poison running through their veins.
He was stunned to silence as a broken but triumphant smile came over her cooling lips his eyes were wide and a look of fear shone in them.
“No you don’t…”
With those few words said death stole her away and brought her to a kinder land, and Francis Araignée staired in fear at the glassy green eyes that shone as bright red blood stained the white gown and the golden hair of Alice Ignatius.
He turned shaking his head telling himself that she was dead and gone, that she was another successful kill, but he could feel those, her emerald eyes burning into his back as he retreated into the dark hall, and a cool chill washed over him as he faintly heard her soft giggle drift and ripple through the air, and a gentle hand barely held his cheek only to slip away ahead of him.

The Darndest Things [February 11, 2019]
COMPLETED
Kit looks down at her phone after taking another drink of her margarita as she rests her feet in Reese's lap, her eyes widening a bit in amusement as she takes in what she sees on her screen, before leaning back to look up at Delilah as she rests her head in her lap, holding the phone up to her. "I think Noel is psychicccccc," she whispers in a faux-spooky voice as she shows Delilah the Twitter Police tweet, it being amusingly on point with the '21ers still saying the darndest things.
Delilah rests her head on the throw pillow as she takes a handful of popcorn, tossing them expertly into her mouth and downing them with intermittent sips of her margarita as her attention lies on the latest episode of Deadly Women, before she hears Kit's words a strike moving through her as she nearly spills her drink from her lips. "Ohmygod, gotta add him, didn't know he even had one, maybe he can read my future and warn me the next time I get unceremoniously mobbed and falsely accused, like a christmas-y Madame Zeroni, or something." She muses, scrolling through his profile a bit before moving to grab her own phone.
"Saaaaaame, and it was Addy of all people brought him out of the social media woodwork!" Kit exclaims, recalling that she had seen Noel comment on one of Adler's tweets, before looking at Noel's tweet, a curiosity moving through her at what the twitter mob was after him for. "Why did he transfer anyway, I wonder? Is he on the run from the law?" Kit offers, raising her eyebrows in faux-seriousness before doing a ba-dum-tiss at her pun, before clapping her hands together as she remembers something that he had said. "Oh! He's like super smart though because did you knowwww...we can ask the SBA for Funducational Fundatory Funds?" She offers, miming a rainbow as a grin crosses her lips, before looking at Reese. "Is it against the NJDC Code to offer an idea without Adler here?" She posits, stroking her chin.
"A mystery to be discovered this year, ladies, hmhmhmhm." She offers back, a soft smile moving onto her lips at the self-induced bu-dum-tis from Kit, as she thoughtfully considers her answer. "I think technically, we can allow it, on the off chance we just re-present it in his presence, right? Win-win."
"Indeed," Kit confirms with a nod, before taking in Reese's response about offering the idea without Adler. "Okay, soooo....what if we make it a Friendly, Fundatory Competition between the mini muffins to pick where we get to go on our Free Fundatory Trip? Two teams, more bonding opportunities, and whichever team wins gets to choose?" Kit offers.
A smirk forms onto Delilah's lips as she hears the idea sparked by Noel, thinking he was pretty damn good with this whole Jedi mind trick, making a mental note to think of some wards to defend herself should he ever decide to go to the Darkside..."Love it." She affirms back, pointing her finger and giving a flash of a wink in response.
"Then it's settled," Kit offers, mining banging the gavel, before stopping herself. "Pending Addy approval, but that's a technicality, sooo...." Kit trails off, before her eyes light up. "I even have the best idea for the competition," she offers, moving to release the announcement of the competition into the group chat, before looking back at the TV. "Now, where were we, girls?" Kit offers, moving to unpause what they were watching and get back into it.
