"I never understood the attitude from Jack saying "I have never been more disappointed in you" in regards to Lou calling out Lisa for giving her email out to a stranger (Peter at the time). I'm sorry but her anger was completely justified. I'd be rightfully pissed too if someone was giving out my personal details to random men on the internet without my consent. I know that Lisa's heart was in the right place but she needs to learn to butt out occasionally as well."

they die in that cave. they die in that cave. they never return to the surface, they never reach the final battle in pangranos, they die in that cave. raphaniel's writings are found by bishop belizabeth brassica, who uses them to strengthen her position as the soon to be pontifex and hierophant rex. amanguex's child grows into the lady plumbeline, eho finds herself at the centre of yet another continent-wide war, just like her mother. none of them are remembered. they are each buried under the weight of the choices they made, buried in tunnels beneath ceresia, buried already surrounded by mold and rot. they die in that cave. the ravening war was never theirs to win.

jjust. the way jack starts out completely untethered except to her Singular Purpose, her Will to Power, the way she’s literally larger than life, she’s not even an idealist she’s an ideal. and the way lou is so situated, so located, so bound to and within her family structure. how both of their interactions w drugs feed their anger but lou weans herself off nicotine and grows more frantic and fragile and human, while jack pumps herself full of steroids and grows more decisive and single-minded and capital m barbara creed Monstrous. and then those roles are reversed at critical moments. and then gently fantastically reversed back at the Most critical moment. the way that “i wish i never met you” doesn’t sting but feels heavy…. and then jack is strong enough to carry it. there’s all these little moments of severance throughout the film where they’re trying to save each other from the fact that they got enmeshed so quickly, trying to believe that there’s only room for one of them, jack the hero or lou who serves her or jack who saved her or lou who’d give everything for her or jack who doesn’t need so much as she desires. please watch love lies bleeding i think it altered my brain chemistry. dave franco gets the entire lower half of his face smashed in

Jack's Therapy Game
(From the beginning: -> here)
After Jack cared for the horses and Lou prepared the room for Jack, they went over to the Pub.
Jack didn't get kicked out like Vlad and no one asked about his 'status'.
Jack: "About the money for the room and stuff... I'll get a job right tomorrow morning. I heard the sculptor is hiring."
Lou: "Oh no, no one works for the sculptor."
Jack: "I don't have problems to take my shirt off."
Lou: "It's not this. We don't talk about it. Don't you worry, you can help me at the shop."
Lou noticed Jack's rash.
Lou: "Isn't this painful? I've heard about this. Did your Alpha die? If you don't get this treated you might die too, you know that, don't you?"
Jack: "No, he didn't die - it's uhm... complicated and yes..."
Now that he thinks about it, it doesn't hurt! He didn't even pay attention since he was so stressed about being locked up. But as far as he remembers, it didn't hurt since he entered the game!
Jack: "I'm fine :3 So, are these your horses?"
Lou: "No, Lunatic belongs to no one but he kind of lives here and Val is the horse of a friend from the neighboring village. But he's here all the time because they are deeply in love."
Jack: "Is that so."
Does that mean this friend is NPC Jeb? Well, since Ji Ho and some of their other friends are also here as NPCs, it would make sense. Jack hopes he can talk to one of them soon to see how 'real' their NPC versions are.
Tiny Can maybe does this so they feel comfortable in their therapy.
Even the Queen and the Prince Caleb are here tonight.
And he's seen NPC Leander, Barfolomew and: Greg -.-
But the Queen and Greg don't sit together. Like at the Arena.
That's good news!
Jack: "Is the Queen married?"
Lou: "No. And she's only the Queen here until the Prince gets married to Princess Jihovere."
Princess Jihovere? Caleb and Ji Ho will get married here? OMG!
And the Queen will not stay the Queen here so his chances to hit on her just increased! (Omg Jack!)
('Jihovere' refers to 'Guinevere', the beloved wife of King Arthur.)
Jack and Lou had a good time at the pub and Jack has a good feeling about this therapy.
For once he can try to act like a 'more normal' person in this world and see what he could achieve. No one here knows about his disorders and hardships. And here he can experience what his life could be if he overcame/worked on some of them. He's fully aware that he can't be 'healed' and he knows that his friends love him and worry about him and try to protect him. But he also gets the feeling that this keeps him from prospering. He'll talk about this with the others when he's back.
But he's going to stay a little longer because he really likes Lou and they have so much fun together. And the pain is gone. Jack hadn't felt this good for a very long time.
'Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark, and they don't bite
They keep things loose, they keep 'em tight
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight
Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight
We like our fun and we never fight
You can't dance and stay uptight
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight'

thrilling if true! but lou is chatty, untrained, and weird (affectionate) so even though i know how i want to interpret this (bucktommy makeout!! bucktommy sex!!), grain of salt always! he could be talking about an unfortunate mishap with some pizza sauce or something, we never know until we know 😭 side note: someone PLEASE take this man's phone away before he becomes introduced to how nasty having an active fandom watching your every move and hanging onto your every word can get. lol. i worry about him.

Reading We Both Laughed in Pleasure as Lou Sullivan would have wanted- in small boxers, and no binder!
All jokes aside, he's been a figure of fascination since I've heard about him. Everyday I become a bit more embittered about the fact that so, so many people have been killed through AIDS. This book makes me wish I could turn back time and hug my younger self, and tell them that yes! Yes! This feels good for a reason. Nightboat books is selling copies, and they specialize in queer lit. Theyre an awesome non-profit; check them out!

"The whole Pryce thing is dumb. I can’t believe Heartland thinks that just because Pryce (or well his dad) looks like Jack, then he thinks like Jack. Or that he’s going to connect to them on an emotional level, when he is clearly trying to take them down, as Heartland is his competitor. And Lou, with her MBA that she always has to mention, should know better than that."

“Jack: Okay, so when I die, don't give any of my stuff to Tim. He'll probably sell it on Ebay and I'm worth way more than that. “

Outtakes
Pic above: It seems Agatha is also a big fan of Lou ;)
Pics below:
Jack and Lou were peacefully riding to the Pub, when Lunatic ran off.
Back to the Arena where Noxee still was (with Greg of course! Poor Jack ^^')
Siawa had 'called' (from outside the Game) to ask Jack if everything is ok :3 aouww
They are so worried after what happened in Jack's first playtest.
And Vampire Prince Caleb wasn't feeling well with all those furry Werewolves around ö.Ö'
Prince Caleb: "Why are we even here?"
Queen Noxee: "That's what royals do apparently. Show up at all kind of nonsense events to please our subjects or whatsoever. Smile!"
Haha and then adult Jack passed by!
Vlad: "Can I have my money now?"
