✨ HEY SO I FINALLY FINISHED BOOK 5 ✨

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY BOOK 5 FIC RECOMMENDATIONS??

LIKE STORIES ABOUT THE GROUP LIVING IN RAMSHACKLE FOR THE SDC AND COMFORTING THEM AFTER THE SHOW (vil especially rook i will throw you into the outer stratosphere why did you have to do that man)

I WANT TO GIVE THEM ALL A HUG rook a little less im slightly sorry

-specific book 5 spoilers under the cut that kinda turns into a slight rant??-

OH AND BONUS POINTS IF THERE'S ANY FICS WITH HORNTON -DURING THE MALLEUS REVEAL OR WATCHING THE SDC SHOW

OH AND ALSO ANYTHING ABOUT THE ACTUAL OVERBLOT ITSELF WOULD BE FANTASTIC BOTH THE ACTUAL FIGHT AND THE AFTERMATH VIL GOT PRETTY BADLY INJURED AND ALSO NEARLY KILLED US WITH THE POISON GAS??? hear me out i'm just saying there's a LOT of whump, angst, sickfic, hurt/comfort fic potential there

OH AND ALSO HIS SIGNATURE SPELL. THE MAN LITERALLY CURSED FOOD TO IMMOBILSE SOMEONE FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME IF THEY ATE IT. THAT'S SCARY AS SHIT I'm gonna double check the dialogue but I swear he wasn't as bothered if we ate the treats with exceptions such as not having it around the group but like?? If Yuu was the only one there and geniunely wanted a midnight snack then suddenly BOOM CURSED That's REALLY scary to think about imo

But I'm a little sad that there wasn't really anything after the SDC? Besides that quick conversation between the headmages, it just cut straight back to Ramshackle. I was kinda hoping there would be at least a quick scene of Yuu meeting up with them after the show being like "Hey, the results fucking suck, but you were all amazing out there. You guys worked so damn hard for this and did your very best and I think that's that's something to celebrate." I personally think the way they ended it it was weirdly abrupt? Like we know everyone goes back to their own dorms and the SDC is over, but for me it feels like we didn't get that closure somehow?? I think it's because the actual build up the the SDC was WAYY longer than the competition itself so by the time it rolled around, it came and went really quick.

OH AND

JUST IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW

THEY CUT OUT NEIGE'S SONG FOR THE EN SEVER.

YES. YOU READ THAT RIGHT.

NEIGE HAD HIS OWN TWISTUNES NUMBER.

AND THERE WAS ALSO A WHOLE SCENE,

WITH THE NRC BOYS DANCING AND SINGING THE SONG WITH HIM.

WE WERE FUCKING ROBBED

This video by Songstress Studios shows the comparisons really well!

Another reason why I think it felt so abrupt is because, if I remember right, didn't Vil say it was a 2 day event? The SDC was on day 1 but the actual faire was two days long?? I remember him saying to Ace something among the lines of 'we're putting all our focus on the competition today but you can look around the stalls tomorrow'. I can't remember exactly, but I highly doubt the culture fair will continue into book 6. Though... I'm gonna go back and double check that dialogue becase now I'm wondering if it might do after thinking about the ending?? 👀

(We were literally attacked in the Colluseum WHERE THE SDC TOOK PLACE. THE STAGE IS STILL THERE)

Quick 12am mind scramble deductions of promo pic: -Look at the wallpaper on the front left side, its the classic 221B wallpaper we all know and love, so this must be the boy's flat. -We're looking from somewhere in front of the mirror, facing the back wall (front, back, side, other side- whatever), since we can see Sherlock's yellow boredom shooting target (yellow smiley). -something is wrong though, is there honestly a window on their ceiling that we haven't noticed before? Also, the walls look too high, and why is Sherlock's chair all the way over there? -Sherlock's violin lays (most likely) broken in the heap of rubble at his feet, obviously some sort of symbolism going on there. Sherlock and John are both calm, so they must be in his mind palace (or this is all just heavy with symbolism I'm shutting out of my sleep deprived brain) -I hear you now, "but they could just be inspecting the damage, looking around, you saw the explosion in the trailer, that could've been the flat!" And honestly, I think that could be possible, but again, WHY THE FUCK IS SHERLOCK'S CHAIR THERE!? WHY DOES THERE SEEm to be a seemingly endless hallway behind them? Mind palaces can be absolutely huge, so that's probably it. -Sherlock sitting in his chair like that could also just be showing his heavily swollen ego, he's all relaxed in his throne, so to speak. And also, he calls it a mind PALACE, so yeah. Again, it's almost 1am, I'm living off less than 6hrs sleep at best, so I apologise for any stupid mistakes in spelling, grammar, and general knowledge. Also, I'm not wearing my glasses and I can't see the photo very clearly, so there's probably loads of juicy material I missed. Again, apologies. Good night. -JH
