I'm thinking about Roier a little more, like...people have mentioned this before but just this man has been Spiralling for a while now and I deeply feel that when he ends up being pulled in to lore in the coming few days, it's going to be ugly
He was already vengeful when he was betrayed by his friends during those earlier days on the server, and that darkness only grew when Bobby died and when the Federation misled them to believe they could get Bobby back. There may be more events, but these ones are the ones peeps tend to reference back to *insert across the spiderverse sound effect*
Anyways
I was thinking about Roier because when it comes to how Cellbit's character arc could be resolved, I was thinking of grounding points; the thing that could be used to anchor him back from the path he's taking. I was thinking people like Pac, Bagi, the Eggs, his friends and family that worry for him, that would be horrified by how much he's hurting himself for them. If he gets shown and reminded about what's at stake...possibly, possibly we can see him start making his way around to something more stable, something more grounded.
But for Roier? I'm drawing a blank.
He's similar to Cellbit in terms of anchors. You have his family: Leonarda, Foolish, Vegetta, Richas, but out of everyone, Foolish is the only one left really and he's not that aware that Roier's not doing so well, and while Foolish does care I'm haven't seen them interacting enough to make an argument that Foolish can help in a big way.
Which leaves Roier's main anchor at this moment being one person.
Cellbit.
To help Cellbit is to help Roier, if Roier does take a similar spiral down with Cellbit.
But...the thing is, while it would be absolutely fun to see them be murder husbands, I think...maybe Roier could see what state Cellbit is in. Like, he won't care about what Cellbit had done, like he gets it and has shown he doesn't really mind. Instead, he'll see what his husband is doing to himself by going on this one man crusade against the Federation.
Like sure, he promised he'll be by his side to burn the Federation down, but he won't do it if he loses Cellbit too, you know?
Roier lost so much already, and like Cellbit had done, to have seen through his nonchalance and disregard when he hasn't been sleeping, when he's unable to sleep having lost his sister and son in law, Roier might just do the same for him.
To see through the blood and violence to the core cause of why Cellbit is doing what he's doing. That it's just a brave face, of a man that's felt helpless, that's felt useless, that's so scared, that felt like he's lost everything, that felt that he's got to do it all alone, that has to win the fight no matter the cost, even if it meant sacrificing himself. All for their family. All for him.
I don't know where Roier will decide to take his character, but...I'll take comfort in the fact that both he and Cellbit are each other's anchors, and care about each other so much, they won't let the other destroy themselves in the process.
im loving reading everyones puppet history theories and theyre great theyre lovely theories and predictions but. you guys keep saying you think ryan is going to get hurt. have you considered this would make me very sad ???
FOR A BEAT OF HEART, THE BREATH IS SHOT.
AND WITHIN A BREATH, THE HEART IS CAUGHT.
THE PIPES ARE BURSTING, UNDER GREAT STRESS,
BOLTS TORN ASUNDER, MAKING A MESS.
A FINAL COUGH, A FINAL RETCH,
A GOREY SLOUGH, CLAIMED BY WRETCH.
Did I decide to make this anyway because I love @somerandomdudelmao 's apocalyptic series?
You bet your sweet ass I did.
Here's a clip of my extremely rough draft!
For context, I made this back when Donnie and Casey were preparing to bring Raph back, but I completely forgot about it. I recently found it again - and in anticipation for Leo's return - I added an epic Donnie fighting scene (+more angst)! I have the rest of the animatic mostly figured out, so whenever that's done and looking better, I'll share it. As for now, I've been staring at this for too long and need to post it before the self doubt kicks in.
Enjoy!

YAYA ITS SO AWESOME GAHH IM SO INVESTED 😭!!!! i actually just caught up in the manga to where i am in the anime!! (on ep 81, and on chapter 134!!!) i've shed lots of tears, laughed, and had my heart touched many times since starting it- i'm totally in love!!! I even cried at the same places i did while watching it when reading manga, ahaha!!!
the characters, the world, the designs, the dreams and ambitions everyone has is SOOOSOSO fun and like, inspiring.. just so good-feeling, i'll even wake up and be like "man, can't wait to watch/read one piece today"
the friendships/bonds created between everyone feels like, so strong- its really beautiful! I love how much fun the fights are, and i really adore the small moments between everyone (like when sanji brings out foods/drinks and everyone kinda just, chills and eats?? the food component of things feels so important too, I love seeing what they eat, idk why haha!!!)
i feel like other shows i love don't have enough time to just see everyone hanging out... it makes me so happy, im really thankful for those moments
also i would take a bullet for any of the strawhats in miliseconds!!! an instant!!!! anything for them!!
GOOD LORD i have not been able to think about anything else but Fig's undying devotion to her friends since last night's episode. I wonder if she's actually going to persue the paladin stuff, and if she does I wonder if they're going to make her a custom oath??? i know mechanically, oath of devotion is pretty versatile, but ALSO it would be so cool to find something that's so Fig. the way you could combine the warlock "relationships & agreements" stuff to an oath.... her love for her friends is so powerful :(
Im gonna really try to use this blog more this year!! So have more of Q and Bo, this time with Estes! She's basically Quinton's childhood friend and eventually frenemies with Bo too 💕
Estes can be pretty protective of Q just because he's always been so nervous they're both used to it happening this way by now, to the point that Q's official royal guard wonders if he's really needed sometimes lol
okay not to come of as a hater for a second but i'm thinking about this again and kind of want to get the thought out...
is it just me or is the way people discuss pilots online a little... odd? don't get me wrong, it's honestly really cool to see people get so hyped up and invested in something based on the pilot alone, but from how some people discuss them it belies a bit of a misunderstand of what a pilot is supposed to be and do.
a pilot is a proof of concept for something, not the finished product. this is most evident with pilots produced the traditional route, where the final series may be wildly different from the initial pitch (the first one that comes to mind is the gravity falls pilot, although it's still pretty similar to what we did end up getting).
so it's... i'm a little concerned for the inevitable fallout when a popular pilot becomes a series that's different from it's initial pitch, i suppose
