Why I Love The 7 of Hearts

...I said I would do it. And now that it has officially been one month since his route release, the official banner for spoilers is now lifted! That being said, I’ll put a disclaimer now: I will be talking about key aspects and spoilers from Kyle’s route. Be warned.

Alright, now onto my thesis. Title: Why Kyle Ash Is My Favourite Otome Husband To Date - An Incredibly Biased Review, by Tawny ^w^

Part 1: Before his route

Before we talk about the actual route itself, let me explain to you guys why this man already had my heart before even getting to date him. I’ll be honest; when the game first came out, he was already in my top 3 but he was not the best boi (that went to Fenrir and stayed like that for a bit). That is, until I played through Lancelot’s route. Being able to get more interactions with Kyle gave me more insight into the kind of person he is, and I honestly liked what I saw. He condemned Lancelot for throwing his life away needlessly without concern for his safety (important note to come back to) and made it clear that his affiliation with the Red Army didn’t mean anything when there are lives on the line (another impotant point to revisit). I honestly respected that about him and sure enough, he snuck his way into top spot and has stayed there since. And if I’m being real, his route has completely solidified that. He ain’t moving. Ever.

Personal Rambling #1

Okay, now comes the fun part hehehe >:3

With the question “did you enjoy Kyle’s route?”, is there an option for “everything” and also “yes yes yes, holy shit yes”? Because, Kyle’s route is a big fat YES out of 10 for me, and I say that as unbiasedly as possible. I noticed that there didn’t seem to be any dev notes released before Kyle’s route dropped (my poor boi getting shafted :c), so allow me to give you my own variation:

Kyle

Recommended if you like: Yukimura (brusque yet sweet, kind of an idiot but means well) and Mitsunari (oblivious genius)

Sexy…7

Drama…7

Romance…9

Dev Notes: For a man so smart, he’s awfully clueless when it comes to you. This weirdly approachable doctor may lack tact, but that doesn’t stop the blood pressures rising and the hearts racing - both yours and his. Get ready for an angst road bump at part 20 (as well as his Dramatic Ending), but rest assured that the doctor is here to see you now.

When I say he’s a combo of Yuki and Mitsunari, I’m not kidding. He’s basically Yuki without the full-on tsun tendencies (he has a few, but you could call it more embarrassment and awkwardness compared to being a tsundere) and then a touch of Mitsunari’s infuriating obliviousness and bam, you got Kyle!

I won’t give a synopsis of the route, since you’ve all likely read it or know most of the story (why on earth are you reading this far in otherwise?) so allow me to share with you, my personal favourite chapters/parts of his route!

Chapter 7 - the first (and definitely not last) instance of a blushing Kyle in his natural habitat. Bonus for glasses uwu

Chapter 14 - the introduction of Goo, the new best pet in Cradle (sorry Chutney). Legit, I recorded that entire section where Kyle and MC are naming Goo and I was just squeeing like a deranged lunatic because I loved it so much like bdjxbgdkfnxfkd

Chapter 24 (His POV) - DRUNK KYLE POV. Of course, he’s still cognitive to have proper thoughts, it wasn’t Masamune levels of drunkenness. But...jealous Kyle. That right there is a rarity but WOW, it’s a treat ;3

Towards the end of the route when MC finds Kyle’s confession written on his freaking hand (Kyle you doof) and just...him burying his amused smile into the crook of his elbow when she says she likes someone…..HNNNNNGGGGGGG yes

Part 2: Character Development

This man has such strong convictions to his profession that it’s honestly admirable. He may only have one pillar to stand on, but that pillar is strong and immovable. I’m of course talking about this line: “I absolutely despise people who are ready to throw away their lives”. Sound familiar at all? Remind you of...a certain Red King? Honestly though, this commitment to his work as a doctor when he seems to do nothing else except drink himself into a stupor most nights (if not every night) is awe-inspiring, and I’m not the only one who thinks so.

The MC in Kyle’s route is my new favourite. I love how the romance she develops for Kyle starts off as simple admiration, just her wanting to follow in his footsteps and prove useful to people without provoking the war occurring around her. She’s grounded and has a clear purpose, which is refreshing compared to other iterations of her being more meek and more better categorised as a “damsel in distress”. Don’t get me wrong, I”m not criticising those types of MCs. It’s just nice to see a driven MC with a clear goal and a motive for why she wants to do the things she does, enough for her to stay longer than the allotted month (something NONE OF THE OTHER ROUTES DO, HELL YEAH KYLE!). She actively chose to stay in Cradle - even when her ticket home was right in front of her - because she wanted to help Kyle save lives. It’s refreshing. And it makes for some great interactions between her and Kyle, especially later in the route when they’re more comfortable with each other. Which leads me onto my next point…

It felt like a real relationship. The slow growth and blooming of feelings, the cute interactions they’d share (every time Kyle stroked her hair or bopped her on the head, my heart exploded into confetti), and how awkward they both were with each other. God, if you guys could have seen me reading his route with my dumb dopey grin and squeaking like a lovesick children’s toy every 10 seconds...I was a mess gielkdsnglkd.

I love how they let us see into Kyle’s world. It may be a simple outlook on life, but you can’t fault the man. His strong conviction to save as many lives as he can because he feels it’s what he was made to do, and his importance on smiling and presenting a calm, friendly image of himself as he treats his patients (remember the line “People are like mirrors.”. It’s important.). He’s a very “my pace” kind of person, and it was fun to just kind of...relax a bit. Sure, war preparations were happening but wait one moment, please. I need to educate Jonah on what is needed for a balanced nutritious breakfast. It was refreshing to see a route that was surprisingly chill for most of it until the ending crescendo, and I welcomed it.

Alright….angst time. All of the little hints we were getting, like his role of the 7 of Hearts not being “set in stone”, had me squinting at the screen like “boi, what you hiding?”. When we got to drinking with Kyle, Oliver and Blanc and the conversation of Kyle having a brother came up, I was like “....oh. This is gonna be baaad.”. And this wasn’t even including Colin (because when a character gets named, you know they’re important.). But…..Chapter 20. It actually came out of left field, sucker-punched me in the kidney, cracked my heart and left me crying as I’m just reading this whole thing unfolding. Colin’s heartbroken cries, Kyle’s unmoving unresponsive form as he lets Colin punch him, the symbolism and connection of both Kyle and Colin having lost an older brother because of the war. I’m….. ;~; aaaaaa. And then in the Avatar Challenge following the angst, MC throws the “people are like mirrors” line back at him to get him to break down a bit, to let some emotion out, and I was just a blubbering mess at this point. The route is generous enough to give you a floof and mild spice break, but then if you choose the Dramatic Ending…..you…..you visit...his brother’s grave...and the waterworks begin again.

Continuing on from the point above, this means Kyle also has connections with The Day That Went Dark, along with Fenrir and more importantly, Ray. From the way it was described in Kyle’s route, he himself doesn’t know for certain if Ray used magic or not. He only knows that Ray was there when shit went down. So even after his brother passed from the tragedy, Kyle held no animosity or desire for revenge against Ray; very fitting for his character. This route made me realise just how similar Kyle and Ray are: they’re both very determined in their ways to keep the peace and they both hold strong to their views of freedom and honesty (Ray and Kyle respectively). And you can tell that Kyle doesn’t hold it against Ray for whatever happened on The Day That Went Dark.

I would honestly love to see a scenario of the two of them sitting down together in a room and just awkwardly yet honestly expressing all of their pent-up emotions about that whole ordeal (angst writers, if you’re reading this...only if you want to ofc ^w^).

Personal Rambling #2: Gushing Edition

So those were my structured notes, but now let me indulge you on my messy bullet points that I made throughout reading his route. A lot of these are pointless to character building and things I just thought were cute and needed attention drawn to sooo….ye ^w^

Like the rest of the Red Army, Kyle was born into a family that carries the mantle of 7 of hearts. All of them doctors.

Cute theme of beds??? (his bday story and them sleeping in the same room)

“When he wasn’t talking, he’s actually quite attractive.” (wow, r00d)

His palm notes are work and other things related (and he doesn’t always remember why he wrote it down bgrkdgn)

Not a sweet tooth (dammit Kyle, that’s your only downfall :c)

Easily embarrassed despite his earnest and straightforward mannerisms

Doesn’t dote on MC and teaches her what he can

His importance on smiling and presenting a calm, friendly image of himself as he treats his patients (“People are like mirrors.” - ch 8)

Head pats. Lots of head pats

Awkward sweet love (kill me it’s too adorable)

Edgar’s silent envy yet sweet support of their romance (this boi istg…)

Super proactive MC (she’s my new fave, seriously I love her)

Lots of touching (head pats, forehead bonks), he doesn’t know what personal space is (and I love it)

His pig is the cutest thing in the entire world, I need 20

Really good with kids…...yes.

“I absolutely despise people who are ready to throw away their lives” (incredibly strong convictions - doesn’t have many, but the ones he does have he is incredibly dedicated to)

Stays longer than the allotted month (FUCK YES)

His brother’s death strengthened his convictions to be able to handle being an army doctor (direct and honest, no bs about sacrificing your life etc etc)

The “People are like mirrors” line is tearing my fucking heart apart (makes sense in chapter 20 avatar challenge)

The angst…..his brother...and Colin….I’m rdfkgndkjfnxclk ;-;

His realisation of love….and his confession….lord, IM DROWNING IN UWUS

Saving Amon despite him murdering many innocent people, a big decision that could have changed the tide for the future, but he stuck with his beliefs

MC’s insistence that Kyle doesn’t like her that way, and Kyle’s inability to realise it’s love (help me it’s so fucking cute I’m dying)

Whether intentional or not, he’s good at diverting the attention away from him when he wants it off him (maybe MC just assumes he’s an idiot?? lmao)

So his glasses are for sentimental reasons (but does he need them???) and his alcohol drinking habits are from his father (not a coping mechanism)

Incredibly kind...but not good at showing it (helping MC distract herself by giving her work(?))

MC’s obsession with Kyle’s eyes and collarbone (same sis, SAME) and Kyle’s obsession with her hair (fsekfbksfnjweksdgn kd,nAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)

Conclusion

Overall, Kyle’s route is very solid. It may not add much to the overarching lore of Cradle (aside from another victim in The Day That Went Dark), but the route was still adorable, enjoyable and incredibly sweet. I had no moments where I felt bored throughout his route (then again, that’s likely the bias talking) and the balance between cute floof, tear-jerking angst and then hot hot spice (that he FULLY deserves, mind you) came together into a wonderful experience that left my heart full and sad when it all ended.

My final message to you all: Kyle Ash is the sweetest, most adorkable nerd that has ever graced my presence and I hope that even a tiny portion of my love for him rubs off on you, just so you can see how amazing this boi is. Thank you for your time and for listening to my ramblings gesgnsk ^^;;

Bonus: my two favourite screenshots from his route

Ikerev Uni AU! inspired snippets:

WELL HEWWO AGAIN!! I certainly did NOT think i’ll be posting these here anytime soon but...yeah :) someone pls kill me...

Anyway, these are some little shitty ideas inspired by @emeraldtawny‘s University AU (which i love so very much zfnqllksf)

Characters : Sirius, Jonah, Luka, Fenrir, Kyle and Edgar.

note?: Fenrir’s and Kyle’s are basically me roasting them (probably?? i don’t do writing so maybe not...still got Tawny’s seal of approval for Kyle tho :3 yay!). Also i tried making Edgar’s as spicy as i could (which is probably not...*shrug*)

***Sirius***

You made your way towards the greenhouse hoping you find the one you’re looking for there. You needed a few plants for your research assignment and he was the only one who came to your mind when you thought about asking for help. Stepping inside, you were first greeted with the scent of nature. It never fails to make you stop for a moment and just breathe it in.

Hearing the faint sound of water, you return to your sense and glance around. There he is. Just like you thought. Sirius was watering the plants at the back. You walk slowly toward him, taking the time to observe him. He always looked calm and relaxed here, like he left all his problems behind and is simply a man enjoying the beauty of nature.

I love it when you’re like this. And you can’t stop staring…

But before your thoughts could get any more tainted, you call out to him.

“Sirius!”

“Hey there, little one.” Ugh, don’t call me that...You have no idea how it makes me feel...

“Could you perhaps help me getting samples of plants i need. You spend more time here than me so it’d be quicker.”

“Of course. What do you need?” While he puts the watering can down, you dig through your pocket “Here. I have a list.” You hand him the piece of paper, your hands brushing slightly and bringing a blush to your cheeks. You froze. Natural reaction. You love him after all.

“Hmm, most of those are over there. Come with me.” You don’t know if he noticed your reaction or not, but, you were grateful he didn’t ask.

You two spend a fair amount of time moving around and gathering plants. You were most certainly not focused on that though…Being close to him for extended periods made your mind drift to thoughts about him. His scent, his posture, his hands...GOD his hands...You love the feel of his hand in your hair. It’s soothing.

You shift slightly to take a closer look at the plant’s leafs, your shoulders brush together. At this almost non-existent distance, you become really aware of his presence, it starts driving you mad with all the things you’re thinking of.

I want you...so much...I wonder if i’ll manage to taste you later, after this. You’re a patient man, but i know how you look when you let go. It’s not the first time anyway...

***Jonah***

You've been stressing over this part you have to perform for the last week. Your friends tell you that you're doing fine, that you practiced well, yet it didn't ease your mind.

And here you are now, in the class, murmuring your lines in the script -when you should be paying attention to the lecture- completely unaware of the glare your haughty classmate has been giving you for the past 30 minutes.

Just as you reach the part you are the least confident in, Jonah coughs loudly, unnecessarily so, and points his perfectly manicured finger at you, “Would you keep quiet, and pay attention. You're distracting us!“

Really? Look at him. The teacher's pet. And definitely the student you are least compatible with in situations like these. How is he your boyfriend, you'll never know.

I'm here stressing myself out and all the support you could think to give me is a lecture about attention during a lecture…“You think i give a damn about it? I have a performance tomorrow. If the teacher himself is not stopping me, than i don't care.“ you huff. He's frustrating, sometimes.

The rest of the day passes peacefully…probably not a good sign. With your courses over, you gather your stuff quickly, trying to flee the classroom before your intuition proves right, but…“Where do you think you're going?“ darn it, not fast enough.

“Home?“ you answer warily. Please, Jonah. I'm just anxious, don't make it worse.

“You're going nowhere…not till i apologize.“

“Huh?!“ Ok, this was not what you were expecting. Jonah puts his studies before anything else usually. Even if you ARE his girlfriend, this is your fault anyway and you know it. He was right.

So why is he apologizing.

“I'm your boyfriend, i should have known how you're feeling and helped you, but i didn't.“ Oh. It was bothering him.

The look in his eyes held so much worry and frustration. I'm sorry too, Jonah. You get closer to him, bringing your hands up to hold his cheeks, and just as he starts muttering your name, you kiss him, drinking the rest of the sound. Not enough… i want more. More of you.

Perhaps a deeper apology is needed.

***Luka***

“Is this good, Luka?“ you ask, placing it on your palm, you show him the small delicate sugar flower you were working on. He nods

The assignment you were given was about making a chocolate cake in pairs. Since you were about the only one Luka spent most of his time with in the class lately, you two got paired.

It was fun for the both of you. The most fun you ever had in the kitchen. Simply working, spending your time together, quietly, was enough to fill you with warmth and happiness. You can't fully explain why you feel so at ease with him yet, but you like it. And you hope he feels the same.

Shifting your concentration back to your task, you start working on the next flower, shaping it carefully, making sure it looks decent enough to be worthy as a decoration to one of Luka's delicious cakes.

He kept watching you…observing your expression. How it changes when you work on a detail, how you smile to yourself faintly when you do it right.

How your tongue sticks out slightly when you concentrate on the delicate shape…

His cheeks gain color, red and bright. What is this feeling? He feels like he's been acting strange lately...Ever since he started spending time with you.

He gets easily distracted with, simply, your presence, yet he can't focus on his work when your not there, next to him. It's like he can't bear staying without seeing you anymore, sitting there, beside him, sharing with him what was supposed to be his private, comfort bubble.

What is this feeling?

His burning cheeks heat even more, and he tears his gaze away from you, back to the cake in front of him, hoping his racing heart would calm soon.

“Luka? Is something wrong?“ your voice brings him back to reality. Apparently he's been staring at the cake for a good while.

You put the nearly finished sugary decoration on the tray, and step near him, worried.

Close!

His heart starts racing again, its beat so fast he can heart it, blush covering his cheeks and working its way up to his ears.

You're too close, and i feel this weird heat again. What is this?

He can't put a name on it yet. But it makes him happier than he's ever been.

***Fenrir***

“Fenrir...wake up!” you shake the sleeping idiot, but still no signs of him waking up.

“WAKE UP FENRIR,DAMMIT!” fed up, you smack his head with the book you were holding. He yelps, jumping from his seat. “Yo, What was that for?”

“The class is over. You slept the whole time.” him saying ‘Oh cool!’ Made you want to smack him again, but instead, you just sighed exasperatedly.

“Are we eating lunch or not? We don’t have much time left, come on.”

Walking together to your favorite place, you talk about all sorts of things. Fenrir mentions a party that he wants to take you to tomorrow. He was at a party YESTERDAY, and he's already going to another one?

The timing is not the best though when you think about it.

“Hey, Fenrir… have you finished the assignment due tomorrow?“

“Wait, we have one?! since when?!“ you felt about ready to slam your head on a table, and you thank the gods that there is none here.

“It was given last week!“

“Well, no sweatin’, ain't like i'll fail cause of it.“

“This one is important, and it'll definitely matter in that ‘fail or pass’ scenario.“

His studying habits constantly make you wonder how in the hells is he able to get decent grades. He sleeps in class, ALWAYS at a party somewhere, and plays around too much.

You remember the time you watched him train. how he looked so hot, it turned you on. How his playful teasing, made you want to let go and lose yourself in him more, want to--

You shake your head furiously hoping the blush coloring your cheeks would magically disappear.

“What are you going to do now? The tasks for those assignment do require a week to be done. And you only have a few hours.“ If you say you won't do them, i'll throw you down.

“Nah, i'll manage. I've always said that diamo--“

You cut him to finish his catch phrase for him, sighing all the while, “Diamonds are made under pressure. That's why you leave things to the last minute. I know…“ you give up… there is no way you can keep up with his method of sliding through trouble like nothing.

“Great! Now, are you going to the party with me?“ Fenrir gets closer to you, eyes shining with amusement and excitement, a look that suits him really well. But, when it's this close to your face, just a few inches apart, it does things to you. The only words you could find to describe him are ’Hot Damn!’.

And you can never resist your boyfriend being right here, next to you. You can't resist your need to feel him, kiss him,and…

You close that final distance between you two, your mouth moving to kiss his gorgeous lips, wanting to taste him, and drown in the feel of him. And it is your answer…All the answer he needs.

***Kyle***

“Kyle? Are you still alive?” You call before slowly opening the door and letting yourself in. Whoa...Is this really the right place?

Kyle’s room was absolutely drowning in haphazardly placed books and paper. There was barely space to properly walk. Moving carefully, you make your way toward the source of this mess. Your helpless boyfriend. More like son…

He's sitting on his desk, focused on his books, unaware of your presence. You raise your hand and grip his ear, yanking it. He yelps, finally noticing you. “Hey!“

His smile irritates you even more. “Don't ‘Hey!’ me. What's with your room, i just arranged it last week!“

“I'm just studying, i guess it happened.“ he admits sheepishly.

What the hell?

You look around the room again. The bed was the only organized place. It's like a hurricane passed by. Really, Kyle…How are you still alive?

Shifting your gaze back to him for another lecture, you see the clear bags under his eyes. He seems pale too.

“When was the last time you got out of here?“ you ask, worried for his health.

“This morning, i think?“ Huh, it's night now!

“You THINK?“ you stare at him. Should you ask more? What if it's worse?...

“Last time you ate?“

“3 days ago, when you gave me that salad.“

“Last time you slept?“

“I don't have time for sleep.“

……dear lord

You just stand there, still trying to process this disaster of a man, mouth opening and closing, yet no words coming out. I have so much i want to say i don't even know from where to start!

“Hey, are you okay?“ he puts his hand on your forehead, as if checking your temperature.

Okay? Me? Are you kidding me? Are YOU okay? How come a Health science student is THIS bad at caring for his own health? ARE YOU REALLY ALIVE?

This…this is hopeless. He is hopeless.

“You're coming with me.“ you grab his hand, dragging him.

“Careful! Those are important documents you're stepping on.“

“You think i give a damn? Just follow me.“

You force him to go with you to the small kitchen and make him sit down on the chair “Stay there. Don't move.“ you warn him, turning around and disappearing to cook some food for him.

Not long after you started, you feel arms wrapping around your waist. You sigh exasperatedly, “Didn't i tell you to stay there?“

“Mhm, i'd rather stay here if i'm not gonna do anything.“ you blush, shivering slightly as you feel his breath against the skin of your neck.

This disaster of a man…What will he do without you…What am i ever gonna do without you.

Smiling sheepishly, you continue cooking, so he could eat and then sleep for a while.

***Edgar***

You agreed to help him review his psychology course, and in turn you get to learn new things.

You should have known it would lead into this kind of situation…

Edgar had you sitting on his lap, facing him, with the excuse that he would be able to see your expressions better this up close.

His hands were all over you, curious and studious, teasing and unrelenting, turning you on to the point of madness, the pleasure they provided you too much and not enough at the same time.

You were addicted to his teasing… to him.

He broke the kiss, lips still touching yours. You whined. You want more of him. You want to get lost in him. You want...

“Hmm…That's an interesting expression. You look unsatisfied, like this is not enough. Are you that turned on already?“ he whispered, voice way too collected for your liking, when you’re breathless and head swimming with all sorts of indecent thoughts.

You turned your gaze away from him, his analytic eyes making you want to escape from them, before he catches on what you were thinking, “I'm n-not.“

“Now, now, don't lie to me. Your eyes went down to the right and you hesitated in your speech. Clear signs of lying. And I know you well enough to tell that even without resorting to psychology.“ you wish you were not this far gone already, because you would certainly like slapping that know-it-all smirk off his gorgeous, beautiful lips.

What were they doing not kissing you...not tasting you… not making you lose yourself in more of him…

Realm of the Elderlings Ask Meme Thing

Created by @hermitknut and brought back by @elderling-magic

And then well... I tagged myself and gave permission to myself to post it xD.

A big part of this has been sitting in my drafts for months so my opinions are not exactly what they are now but that’s okay!

Favourite RotE Book: Fool’s Errand

Why:

Fool/Fitz honeymoon (say what you will, they married in Assassin’s Quest).

Fitz’s was very relatable (which, I’m now realizing, could be read as “I was so depressed while reading this book”)

This book got some of the best Fitz introspection and I never loved his writing more.

A much more careful and emotional retelling of the epilogue to Assassin’s Quest, which allowed me to make peace with the first trilogy’s ending. That exposition really made me accept his reasons, which is why I am somewhat bitter about the turn the Tawny Man trilogy took afterwards in... basically tearing him from his peace, putting him in a deadly and lonely situation, and convincing him that this was what he was meant for all along and that his previous life choice was invalid because he was half-forged (he was not).

Prince Forever Alone’s grand entry lmao.

One of the best written major character deaths of the whole series, and by far. I was moved to tears, but I never felt bitter about it. Very few character deaths were handled that well in the whole series.

More Wit meta. Wit and politics. Witted villains. Nice Witted people. Finally the Wit being given its rights.

Top Three Favourite Characters:

Sympathetic characters edition:

Verity Farseer, there is one king in my heart. Also confession time, I considered dropping the series after the end of Farseer because he died, but I didn’t and I’m both glad and sad about it.

Ronica Vestrit, badass grandma. An extremely moving character, and awesome writing.

Lady Patience, who single-handedly turned me into a weeping mess.

(honorable mentions to Fitz, the Fool, Nighteyes, Bee and Kettricken)

Top Three Least Favourite Characters:

I thought separating villains and non-villains for this one

Sympathetic characters edition (spoiler warning: skip number one if you haven’t read the last trilogy yet):

Prilkop: What he did to Fitz and the Fool was really ugly and still he acts all self-righteous like he just did what was necessary to protect the world and not destroyed two lives and likely more. But I can’t get beyond the hypocrisy of him ruthlessly using people and directing them towards terrible situations (including himself, I can admit that) if that goes in the way of his ideal future, but then blaming them for having their own will and doing the things they believe in themselves.

Chade: Sometimes, I do like him. Most of the time, all I can think of is how he doesn’t know that those you love do not belong to you. That you can’t restrict their freedom if you don’t agree with them, or decide to conceal facts from them, or take away some of their rights if you think you can’t control them. And you can’t force them to trust you, and being jealous of the one they choose to trust over you doesn’t solve anything. Overall Chade creates some interesting plot, sometimes, but his possessiveness of Fitz and his desire for power are highly disturbing.

Tats. And most of the boy keepers. For no reason at all, they’re just bland, idiot, entitled teenagers who express their limited personality in highly distasteful ways.

Unsympathetic characters edition:

Kyle: Just the existence of this character is enough to warrant a trigger warning. Just, ugh. I can’t stand him. Which should be the sign of a good villain, but no. I can like a character on a meta level even if I hate their guts in the story. Kyle is a nope on both sides.

Cosgo: Imagine putting up with a disgusting, bland, and uninteresting character and he doesn’t even die at the end. Talk about feeling cheated.

Galen: The reason we had to put up with a self-hating, self-destructive emo protagonist for so long. Every time I’m angry at Fitz’s angst, I think of Galen and suddenly I feel even more angry! :D

Favourite Ship (of the floating kind): Ophelia

Top Three Favourite Ships (of the people kind):

Fitz and the Fool, just to be the most original person here.

Chivalry/Rurisk <3

Fitz/Will because enemies who could’ve been friends? to lovers? We could’ve had it all :’)

Would you rather be Witted or Skilled: Witted. Enhanced awareness of the life surrounding you sounds like something awesome, even if you never get a Wit partner. The Skill sounds great in other aspects, like you know, putting an end to very annoying meetings. But I don’t trust myself to not... just let myself be lost in the Skill-current. Sometimes a book is enough to make me forget about the real world haha.

If you were Witted, what animal would you bond with?: I don’t think I would bond, if I were Witted. Too afraid of the pain, and I never go out anyway. I’d just be an ‘aromantic’ kind of Witted I guess.

Would you rather live in the Outislands, the Mountain Kingdom, the Six Duchies, Bingtown, the Rain Wilds, Kelsingra, Jamaillia, the Pirate Isles, or Fool’s Homeland?: Mountain Kingdom. Where people are polite, chill, mind their own businesses, and respect nature. I wouldn’t mind Six Duchies either, unless I’m Witted.

How were you introduced to the books? A friend recommended them to me. Though the friend himself didn’t even finish the first trilogy, so I had to recommend the series back to them to find someone to scream with.

Share a quote you love:

Ah, this is an unfair question. I love too many of them, and I don’t want to make one more special by choosing it over the others.

Not exactly a particular quote, but I love it so much whenever Fitz and the Fool unconsciously quote each other, or how their philosophies mirror each other across time and space, like here:

Tomorrow owes you the sum of your yesterdays. No more than that. And no less. Sometimes folk wish tomorrow did not pay them off so completely.(Amber, from the Mad Ship)

Sometimes it seems unfair that events so old can reach forward through the years, sinking claws into one’s life and twisting all that follows it. Yet perhaps that is the ultimate justice: we are the sum of all we have done added to the sum of all that has been done to us. There is no escaping that, not for any of us. (FitzChivalry, from Fool’s Fate)

I always get irrationally emotional over any and every implication of their closeness in mind and feelings :’).

Take the thing, copy and paste it into your own post, tag it “elderlings” and then tag as many people as you can that you know in the fandom.

If you see this, have read the books and do not mind doing this (even if you’ve done it before but you’ve changed your mind on some things), please consider yourself tagged <3

The Neverending Discussion

By Tawny Brown

The stranger made death much more dramatic than needed be. He swung the front door opening, gasping loudly all the while throwing out a shout when he could manage. The whole ordeal interrupted the conversation Benjamin was having with Little Meg over whether or not mice were faster than the rats. Benjamin was just about to reach his point that the fact that they see mice less than they see the rats proves that they were faster, when the man just had to barge in their abandoned house to die at that very moment. Watching from the moldy sofa, Benjamin and Little Meg turned to watch the man whose white shirt was quickly becoming blood soaked. “Help! Somebody!” The man yelled one last time before he collapsed on the ground.

Just a few moments later - after the stillness sat in, a pale apparition lifted from the body looking just a tiny bit ticked over having died. The now-dead man started to feel his faintly blue chest as he looked down. Immediately he jumped back with a startled shout when he saw his own body laying underneath him.

“Bad day?” Benjamin asked the stranger.

The man looked up at the two entities he just then became aware of - being blind to their appearance back when he was alive. The freshly murdered man’s hair was neat and his face was completely shaven. It would have been a nice suit if there weren't two bloody rips in the chest where it looked like bullets went through. At least the shoes were spotless. “Why am I on the floor and why am I not on the floor?” The man rushed the words out which were unmistakably laced with terror.

“I do love a good Socrates-style riddle. Luckily - er- unluckily for you I think I have the answer.”

“Why can I see through you two?” The man asked, interrupting Benjamin before he had time to answer his previous question.

With a huff over being interrupted again, Benjamin answered with “We found ourselves envious of windows and decided enough was enough.”

The man, despite not having lungs anymore, was still breathing harshly and loudly as he clutched his chest and leaned against the wall with the other hand. Little Meg watched him with big startled eyes while Benjamin was already losing interest.

“Please be serious, I think I’m - I’m about to have a panic attack.” The man managed to say between breaths.

“Is your name Casper by any chance? The famous ghost that somehow has panic attacks despite the physical impossibility? Although you are quite big for a ghost of a child.”

“Ghost?!”The man screamed.

“Ah. You’ve figured it out.”

The revelation did little to calm the man’s ghostly nerves. In fact it made it worse. He managed to double over even more until he was on the ground next to his body, hyperventilating.

“Oh come now. Little Meg didn’t even take it as poorly as this.”

“I got lost and died!” Little Meg cheerily explained - finally brave enough to speak to the new ghost. “I still like snow though just not as much.”

“The snow melted the day after she died. I guess fate liked Irony more than it liked Little Meg.”

“I’m dead?”

Benjamin sighed at the man’s rudeness.

“Make everything about yourself, why don’t you? Can’t even talk about a frozen little girl without it becoming about - ehh what’s your name again?”

“Kyle.”

“Yes of course… Kyle.” Benjamin said distastefully.

Kyle sat up finally and examined his body that laid limp.

“What happened?” Little Meg asked.

“My friends shot me.”

“Can’t imagine why.” Benjamin muttered.

Kyle’s eyes looked wild. They went to his body, then to the wall, then to Benjamin and Little Meg, and finally back to the body again. It seemed they had finally found a place to settle on for now as they didn’t move from looking at themselves attached to the face that stared emptily back.

“I was supposed to get a promotion next week. My boss had hinted about it. I was going to be able to afford that house.” Kyle said, perhaps to himself as he continued to look at his own dead eyes.

“Your friends murdered you over a promotion? My, what a dull story. Not at all like Little Meg’s fun frozen Friday.”

It seemed as if Kyle had finally had enough of Benjamin’s quips. He flashed an angry glare at the ghost and directed all his frustration on his new acquaintance.

“Oh yeah? And how did you die, huh? Did you insult the wrong person one day? A wife ? I cannot imagine one putting up with you longer than I already have!”

“Fun idea but no. Heart attack. I used to live here. Yes, it's gone a bit to the dogs now that I’m not able to clean it up.”

“How is that not a dull story?” Kyle snapped.

“I never claimed otherwise.”

“Then why are you judging mine?”

Benjamin stopped and thought about it. Then he shrugged and smiled.

“What else do I have to do?”

The answer seemed to satisfy Kyle and a calmness settled across his face. With a nod the new ghost let out a dreary sigh. It was a sigh that sounded like years of worries and problems had finally been released. He approached and sat down on the moldy sofa next to Benjamin and Little Meg. For a while none of them spoke. The three ghosts looked at the body of the young man who was murdered over a promotion he would now never receive.

“Who do you think is faster, Kyle?” Benjamin asked. “Rats or mice?”

Realm of the Elderlings Ask Meme Thing

This is obviously very old and I wasn’t tagged by anyone, but I wanted to do it anyway. I believe it was created by @hermitknut

Favourite RotE Book: Tawny Man trilogy. You can’t force me to pick one.

Why: It’s the best trilogy because it has all of my favourite characters; introduces wonderful characters (like Dutiful, Thick, Elliania, Fennel, Web, Laurel and Nettle); there is more information about the Fool’s past; it tackles many kinds of prejudice and the different ways people react to it; it goes from a fun adventure to “Help me! I’m drowning in my own tears” (all of the feelings); development in the relationship between Fitz and the Fool; Fitz, Fool and Nighteyes dynamic - best trio ever; it has the best jokes; it has the saddest moments; it has the sweetest moments. It’s just as close to perfection as you can get - for me, anyways.

Top Three Favourite Characters: Fitz, Beloved, Nighteyes (I’m counting them as one so I can cheat), Bee, Patience (ahhhh it can change because I love so many characters - almost all of them. It pains me not to mention Paragon, Malta, Alise, Sedric, Kettricken, Dutiful...)

Top Three Least Favourite Characters: The Four (counting them as one), Hest Finbok, Kyle Haven.

Favourite Ship (of the floating kind): Paragon <3

Top Three Favourite Ships (of the people kind): Fitz and the Fool (the best ship ever of course), Dutiful and Elliania, Alise and Leftrin (Carson and Sedric would be a 4th).

Would you rather be Witted or Skilled: Witted

If you were Witted, what animal would you bond with?: I would like to bond with a fox. Or a bird...

Would you rather live in the Outislands, the Mountain Kingdom, the Six Duchies, Bingtown, the Rain Wilds, Kelsingra, Jamaillia, the Pirate Isles, or Fool’s Homeland?: Kelsingra and be an Elderling. Thanks.

How were you introduced to the books? Booktube. I think it was the Sam’s Nonsense channel. But I only started reading the series sooner than I planned to because Robin Hobb came to Portugal last year (I had just finished the first trilogy when I went to sign my book and I was already a big fan by then).

Share a quote you love: Everything that comes out of Amber’s mouth in the Liveship Traders trilogy and most of Beloved’s quotes in other occasions. “Words do not contain or define any person. A heart can, if it is willing." - Beloved, The Golden Fool

Tagging: Everyone who is new in the fandom (like myself) and has never done this (I really would like to see the answers so tell me if you do this, please).

Take the thing, copy and paste it into your own post, tag it “elderlings” and then tag as many people as you can that you know in the fandom.

Realm of the Elderlings Ask Meme Thing

Favourite RotE Book: Fool’s Errand. It’s a tough choice though, I love them all

Why: Getting to know adult Fitz, the time they spend together in Fitz’ cabin with F/F& Nighteyes & Hap & chickens. Also the scene with Dutiful on the Others beach, which is a very well written and memorable, and connects Fitz into this larger universe of magic hinted at in the Liveship Traders. The book has great mood and no hurry to anywhere. I controversially think it is also a great entry point to the series, if you don’t want to commit to reading 17 books but still want to get into all this.

Top Three Favourite Characters: Nighteyes!!!!!!, Kettricken, Althea

bubbling under: Etta, Bee, Verity, Patience, Lacey, Malta, Wintrow, Kettle, Hod, Molly (I’m firmly in camp “Molly deserved better”), i love them all, damn

I loved the Fool more when I was younger (Of course- they are hard not to love, especially the Assassin’s Quest young Fool) but my appreciation & exasperation for Fitz has grown more over the years. I think it is partly due to the Fitz & the Fool trilogy, his arc feels complete now. and daddy fitz is so hot

Top Three Least Favourite Characters: Hest, Kyle, Galen. Kennit is of course terrible too but he’s so well written and entertaining that it’s hard to list him as a least favourite. He’s more of a fuck-you-but-favourite.

Favourite Ship (of the floating kind): Ophelia!

Top Three Favourite Ships (of the people kind): Burrich/Chivalry is my OTP, Carson/Sedric is my wholesome fave, Althea/Brashen are great token heteroes. Also I friendship Nighteyes(/Fitz) & Kettricken a ton (firmly in the camp “Kettricken deserved better” too)

I see F/F As bit of a problematic fave relationship though I am very into it. I just guess that the amount of mental illness there is involved in that relationship (and these books in general) has gotten to me, making it a too heavy thing to ship with such a full heart and force I maybe would have at some point. (I still love F/F fic & art including fix its & smut though. I guess I just wanted to say that it is a complicated sailing.)

Would you rather be Witted or Skilled: Witted. I’d love to be magical in any way and the Skill, more the craft aspects than the telepathy thing, is really tempting for me too, but it’d fuck me up.

If you were Witted, what animal would you bond with?: I would enjoy what I would discover of myself based on who would choose to bond with me. Hopefully somebody who could live with me near the sea. If it would happen right now it would probably be an urban bird, a magpie or a hooded crow maybe

Would you rather live in the Outislands, the Mountain Kingdom, the Six Duchies, Bingtown, the Rain Wilds, Kelsingra, Jamaillia, the Pirate Isles, or Fool’s Homeland?: Anarcho-communist state of Pirate Isles (under Etta’s rule) feels like an interesting place, though the northern climate & nature of Six Duchies is probably where I would be most at home (and rebelling at the monarchy.) Magical queer utopia of Kelsingra also, but not sure if I would want to live with so much magic.

How were you introduced to the books? I had heard about them through the grapevine ( from my penpals and online friends mostly), everybody interested in fantasy was crazy about them when the Fool’s Fate translation was published and Hobb came into a con in my home country etc so I was kind of peripherally aware of them without any one source. One time I was bored and just went into the library, took out Assassin’s Apprentice and sat there hours reading it and was instantly hooked. I think I started reading them in 2008-ish? But my strongest memories of being obsessed with them are from 2010-11, maybe that is when I got to the Tawny Man. I was studying to be a blacksmith at the time and was totally obsessed with piratey/1700′s/sailpunk shit and Liveship Traders fed into that really well. long coats and leather boots and frilly shirts all the way.

My Aunt Clementine was my Grandmother’s sister, and she and my Uncle Jerry Blazer shared a house with my grandparents that they’d all purchased in 1955 and remained in for almost 50 years. Because of this, they were very much immediate family, although we didn’t see them as often since Clem didn’t like to travel all that much. When they did come out to our house, knowing that I liked comic books, she would occasionally bring me one--and she would dutifully write my name on the cover (or the name of one of my brothers if the book happened to be meant for them.) This bugged me as a kid--I wanted to keep my comics in as nice a condition as possible--but delights me today, a tangible representation of the affection of a woman who has been deceased now for over twenty years. My copy of this issue of SHAZAM is one of the books so inscribed, indicating that I got it from her.

I wasn’t a regular buyer of SHAZAM at this point. The stories had become a bit inconsistent in their appeal as the writers of the 1970s attempted to crack the secret appeal that the character held from the 1940s and 1950s. E. Nelson Bridwell, a Captain Marvel fan since those days, likely came the closest--though he was simultaneously trying to square the circle of making the series relate to the live action incarnation of the property then running on Saturday morning television.

Here, Nelson had been taking a page from those 1940s Captain Marvel stories by having Billy Batson and Uncle Dudley/Mentor visit different real-world cities across the nation. In this issue, the pair are in Detroit--and Nelson even throws in a cameo of a local distributor, just the way that Fawcett used to do (in an attempt to spike local sales.) The pair are meeting Tawky Tawny there, as the sentient tiger intends to try out for the Detroit Tigers baseball team.

As it turns out, Mister Mind has abducted the visiting team for the day’s game, and replaced them with his own team of super-powered alien players. He insists that the Detroit Tigers play his team to show off his superiority. If they won’t play, he’ll execute the visiting team, who are his captives. Captain Marvel is helpless to intervene directly, but after consulting with Zeus of all people, he tries out for and is accepted as a Detroit Tiger.

Cap is, of course, a phenomenal player, and with him on side, the Tigers feel confident about their chances. Even with Uncle Marvel volunteering his services as a coach. Mister mind, though, is concerned--and so when Cap transforms back into Billy in order to phone the details into WHIZ TV, the alien team jumps him and captures him, leaving him tied up in the locker room while the game begins.

What follows is a farcical display of the alien team’s powers and prowess, as they swiftly rack up 28 runs to the Detroit Tigers’ 2. Mister Tawny is playing his heart out, but he’s a bit out of shape and the exertion is winding him. Eventually, Billy is able to free himself by hooking his gag on a discarded set of cleats, and Captain Marvel joins the game. But the deck is stacked against the Tigers.

Captain Marvel uses his powers to even the score here--doing so in ways that strictly speaking probably aren’t completely legal play--but it’s to save lives, so we’ll give him a pass. Cap and the Tigers triumph, and then Cap follows the defeated alien team back to their headquarters in time to save the captured visiting team. But Mister Mind once again gets away, vowing to see Marvel later in Indianapolis. And Tawky Tawny has had his fill of being a professional ballplayer--he’s going to go back to his nice, quiet job at the museum.

The letters page in this issue includes comments from Kevin Dooley, who would one day become a DC editor himself. Dooley is famously (or infamously depending on your point of view) the editor who presided over the transition of Green Lantern from being Hal Jordan to Kyle Rayner. And the Daily Planet plug page announced the discontinuation of the DC Hotline, among other things. The Hotline was a bit difficult to navigate (and to hear) but I loved getting a glimpse inside the walls of DC headquarters every week, so I was sad to see it go.

Karl Urban as Batman/Bruce Wayne

Peter Capaldi as Alfred Pennyworth

Michael Keaton as Thomas Wayne

Kim Basinger as Martha Wayne

Courtney B Vance as Lucius Fox

Metamorph - Chapter One (Part Two)

“Perhaps,” Bruce agreed quietly, mostly to just roll the word around on his tongue for the sake of doing something. He felt terribly estranged. He’d never felt this way about anything before. “Are you coming?”

Alfred smiled the ghost of a smile at him, a smile that assured him that, eventually, they’d be okay. “Eventually,” he promised.

That was all the assurance he needed. With a polite smile, Bruce turned and walked out the door.

***

Bruce spent a good hour greeting guests, offering them champagne more expensive than their month’s rent and offering around a few courteous dances. Of course, he was also asked, mostly by young women, and, graciously, he accepted every time. No sooner had he started to dance with a brunette was he dancing with a petite blonde girl with drawn-on eyebrows, emphasised black lips and a skimpy Gothic dress paired with clunky leather boots. He wouldn’t look at her, and not because he was being discriminative against her sense of dress. She was young, maybe too young to have alcohol on her breath, and she was getting very strange with her hands.

“Excuse me? Please can I cut in?”

Bruce turned to look at the man who’d spoken in surprise. He was tall, though no taller than Bruce: probably six foot or so. He had tawny skin and dark brown hair and was wearing an unstylish brown suit that looked cheap and worn past its youth. “Yes, of course,” he said politely, but the man wasn’t looking at him; he was looking at the woman.

“I was talking to you, sweetheart.”

The woman looked both confused and harassed. Her cheeks flamed up with colour under her pasty makeup. “I beg your pardon?”

“Oh, baby, please. If you were begging, you’d be on your knees.” The man took one of Bruce’s hands, assuming a dancer’s stance, and a dominant one at that. Bruce was too surprised to reject the casual contact. “Hello, darling,” he greeted quietly, steering him away from the woman who stared after them in amazed puzzlement. “Have you been having fun?”

Speechless, Bruce stared at him. There was something familiar yet unfamiliar about his voice, his long jawline, his wild eyebrows, even his hands, one folded firmly around his. There were scars randomly speckling his spidery fingers, Bruce observed despite himself, that were very similar to his own. Under the spicy, cheap smell of aftershave, Bruce could detect a hint of smoke and cinnamon.

“The champagne is absolutely phenomenal,” the man continued, undeterred by his silence. People were starting to stop dancing in favour of staring, and Bruce felt a very distant and very quickly receding sliver of alarm scorching the lining of his stomach. He wondered what people would say about the fact he was dancing intimately with another man, but, in a more forward part of his mind, he wondered what was so familiar about the delicate arch of the man’s throat, peeking out from a pink collar. There was a splotch of either blood or wine on the fraying rim of it. “You must simply introduce me to your dealer, darling. The taste reminds me of Paris, you see, and the pastel azure of the sky in the afternoon-”

“John?”

The man’s eyes glittered in his browned face like poisonous water. Pretence of normalcy forgotten, he leaned closer like a secret. His breath smelt sour, so different from John’s own. “Guess again,” he murmured, his voice as silky as satin and wrapping Bruce as delicately as so. “Better than John,” he hinted assuredly.

It clicked. This wasn’t John, no; he believed that. Standing in front of him was the very man that he had lost in the rain, the one that had sported his face in Arkham Asylum; the man that had tried to manipulate himself into John’s darkest desires that had been cleverly hidden with the help of medication and Dr Leland. Bruce could almost feel rage and disgust as a live thing inside him as he stared at the creature now donning his best friend’s face. Everything else fell away into a camera-lens blur, the man coming into a sharper, more detailed focus, and he forgot how to function, how to breathe, shutting down completely. He’d imagined plenty of things he would do when finally getting his hands on this man, and now the time had come he didn’t know which or what to do. Nothing violent – Bruce Wayne shouldn’t have a violent part of him, he reminded himself sternly.

Don’t make a scene. You are Bruce Wayne, a stupid, weak businessman. You cannot make a scene.

Bruce tightened his hand around his, stilling. The man’s brown suit seemed so strange on John’s skin, so bleached of colour, so harsh against a backdrop of chalk-white, and Bruce tried not to think about how he might have acquired the outfit. It didn’t help the burning sensation in his midriff. “You,” he spat.

The man – the creature – tutted at him disapprovingly. He was using John’s voice in a way John never used it, with silky, cloy, cocky smoothness and something akin to careful seduction. “Such impolite savagery,” he taunted. “I thought you would be pleased to see me. I’m hurt. Weren’t you scouring for me day and night as though hopelessly in love with me like in Cinderella, Bruce Wayne?” He said his name like it was fine, powdered poison, through a straight set of teeth – John’s teeth. “Well, here I am. Your own beautiful nightmare in the flesh. Your own devilish Cinderella.”

“Don’t flatter yourself,” Bruce forced out through his teeth. The urge to haul him outside by the flesh pouching the back of his neck, like a kitten, was so powerful his hands shook. Instead, he focused on dancing again; them standing motionlessly in the centre of a gaggle of dancers was earning a few stares, or maybe that was a matter of their gender. “Assuming another man’s face during conversation... Are you really that cowardly?” he sneered now, wanting to destroy this man in the only way he could. Personal. This was still personal. And now he was wearing John’s face...

The man’s hand tightened around his with surprising strength. Bruce’s skin thrummed with pain. He hid his grimace expertly. “Don’t assume,” the man said, slowly, softly, “to understand, Mr. Wayne.” He flattered him with a brilliant smile, the anger dissipating from his eyes like tepid water from a pierced water bottle, just like that. “Aren’t you going to ask me?”

“What?”

“The obvious questions!” the creature rejoined cheerfully. “‘Who are you?’, ‘What do you want?’, ‘Where are you hiding?’, ‘What are you?’, ‘How did you get here?’”

Feeling like he was being made a mockery, Bruce snapped, “Would you tell me?” without hope, more to prove a point than anything else.

“Well, no,” the creature admitted with the same assured cheer woven around his voice, and Bruce gave him a pointed look, “but what’s a vocal first meeting between villain and hero without unanswered questions? I need to be a mystery.”

“Get to the point.”

Now it was the creature’s turn to blink. “What?”

“Don’t tell me you came here to dance with me and indulge in my champagne.”

An equal mixture of amusement and bitterness etched the creature’s face. “Oh, very well,” he sighed lightly. “Though dancing with Gotham’s most eligible bachelor was a pleasant bonus, and the champagne really was marvellous.”

Bruce stared. He wondered if this man was human, or had been human once, with extraordinary circumstances; he also wondered if this was a creature born to both the art of shape-shifting and manipulation, which barely seemed possible. He could process giant men and purple-skinned men in tubes, because, really, that was just science. He couldn’t blame shape-shifting on science, though, which was all he knew. He felt suddenly very tired.

“Oh, relax.” With a slender thumb, the man traced his eyebrow softly, which was apparently warped in distress. “Soon, I’ll be out of your hair, and then you can go back to melting zippers and panties for miles over glasses of flowery champagne.”

Incredulously, Bruce said, “I can’t just let you leave.”

“You’re going to have to, I’m afraid.” The creature’s eyes flashed. “Do you like puzzles?”

Bruce paused. “What?”

“Puzzles. Do you like them?” He didn’t wait for a response, tripping over his own words in his haste to get them out. “Because our time together, sweetheart, will be a puzzle, and an arcane one at that: no picture on the front of the box, no single idea what the finished product will look like, the finale at the end. The puzzle of my life, in fact – the puzzle that shows how deeply you wronged me, divided in sections that once broke my heart. Can you handle that?”

“And if I refuse to... to play?” Bruce muttered through numb lips.

The man pressed his mouth against Bruce’s ear, and Bruce had the savage, alarming thought that this was what it would feel like to have John so close, and hot blood seared him from his ears to his cheekbones to his throat. His hands shook violently now. They’d always been as steady as a heartbeat. “Then I can’t promise you the next time you see Tiffany, Alfred or John, even Selina Kyle, they’ll have a heartbeat.” He leaned back calmly, like he hadn’t just threatened Bruce’s entire family, and stuck out his hand. “So – do you assent to play with me?”

Then he smiled, and Bruce thought it was what a spider’s smile would look like every time another naive insect fell tangled into their intricate web. He was the insect, thrashing against the sticky silk listlessly, and, somehow, in such an abrupt space of time, the man was the spider, staring at him devilishly from his position of his superiority. Bruce was, in fact, so deeply tangled he didn’t know where the exit was. He knew one thing: the man wasn’t bluffing. If he didn’t build the puzzle, play the game, everyone he loved would turn up dead.

The man’s hand was clammy and soft with makeup.

“So, the game begins,” he purred, and then he disappeared, leaving Bruce alone with a memory card in his curled fist.

***

His vision was starting to blur, words dancing onscreen like they were alive. He’d plugged the memory card given to him by the strange man into the computer in the cave a few hours ago, but so far he’d run into countless errors and no idea of how to crack them. Nothing he did seemed to wheedle the contents of the card out. In red block letters, ‘ERROR’ striped over the screen again, flashing in a way that drove pain behind his eyes, and he had to turn away.

Alfred was approaching him, a tray of tea balanced precariously in his wizened hands. “Tea, sir?”

Bruce almost smiled. Alfred insisted most things could be made better with tea. With a sharp pierce of longing, Bruce thought how he desired that to be true at the moment. “Thank you, Alfred.” He heard the weariness in his voice as he reached out for the tea and took a grateful sip. It had the rich essence of alcohol. Then he really did smile. “I needed this.”

“Have you made any progress yet, Master Bruce?” Alfred asked, obviously trying his best to push aside his conviction against Batman for Bruce’s sake. Bruce seriously could have cried; he was so tired.

“No. The Computer keeps saying ‘error’, again and again, like clockwork. I haven’t figured out a way to get past it.”

“Perhaps,” said Alfred, “it would be best to just buy the camera it belonged to.”

Bruce blinked at him in surprise. “Do you think that’s all I can do?”

“It would be the most simple way to get around the problem, Master Bruce,” Alfred confirmed, putting the tray down. On it was also a plate of homemade cookies, fluffy and moistened by melted chocolate chips. Bruce’s childhood favourite. The cold stone in his gut thawed. “Are you sure doing what this man says is a good idea, Bruce? You don’t know the first thing about him.”

Bruce sighed and turned back to the computer. He’d been asking himself that since the gala, but he knew he couldn’t run the risk of casualties, not innocent ones, not loved ones. “You know I have no choice, Alfred,” he said. “He said this puzzle will teach me about him and – and how I wronged him.”

“Maybe it was something your father did,” suggested Alfred, sounding resigned. “Many hold grudges against you for that.”

“Maybe,” agreed Bruce, his heart not in it. “I’ll ask Tiffany to try crack this while I go to the closest electronic shop and try buy a camera that matches the card.”

The only request I will ever ask from you, the person reading this:

I’m not supposed to be on tumblr or any social media much this weekend (internet cleanse to clear my mind, all that jazz), but it has come to my attention that Kyle is first for intelligence and Sirius is nipping at his toes. So, if I may...

*inhale*

PLEASE VOTE KYLE FOR INTELLIGENCE. HE’S A CHILD PROGIDY, AN ARMY DOCTOR FROM THE AGE OF FUCKING 16 AND YOU THINK THAT’S NOT WORTHY OF TOP SPOT FOR INTELLIGENCE? SIRIUS, STAY IN STRATEGIC. YEAH YOU’RE SMART BUT CAN YOU KEEP AN ENTIRE ARMY - NAY, ALL OF FUCKING CRADLE - FROM SICKNESS AND STILL GET SLOSHED EVERY NIGHT AND REPEAT THE PROCESS WITHOUT A SWEAT??? THE FACT THAT HE CAN BE HUNGOVER AND STILL PERFORM MEDICAL OPERATIONS WITHOUT HASSLE PROVES HE IS INCREDIBLY SMART AND HE 👏 DESERVES 👏 MORE 👏 LOVE!!!!

Also, he got shafted hard compared to Loki’s release (cat boi got a collection event and Kyle gets...this, which doesn’t even showcase him without us Kyle stans rising up to teach the fans of his greatness). So, please. Vote Kyle for intelligence. Thank you all.

#ikerev #kyle ash #tawny loves kyle #if anyone wants to draw/photoshop Kyle saluting holding a bottle of whiskey whilst completely drunk...then i would love you forever #i kid...or do i?#KYLE FOR INTELLIGENCE #KYLE IS SMARTEST BOI

Episode 8 - We made the merge!!! - Keegan

Going into tribal, I thought we were staying strong as our old tribe and voting Dan out, but to be honest, that isn't really what I want anymore. I brought up the idea to Austin last night and then today when I asked what to do he said to vote for Dylan. I guess I'm glad I can make an idea and make someone else think its theirs, because I was perfectly fine voting Dan out as well. I just feel like to move forward, you can't have someone around that you can't trust in the game. I think Dylan is awesome but he hasn't talked much and doesn't seem to show loyalty the way Austin and Stephen have. Even Dan has approached me more. It just makes sense right now, and while I'm scared for Stephen's reaction if Dylan goes tonight, I hope we can make it work.

Me at Dylan being voted off :O I wanted to work with him post merge that sucks.

MERGE!! We made the merge!!!

Ima be honest going to exile really hurt my game. That was the one premerge tribal I could go, and while I wouldn’t be safe I really needed that time to bond with the others, especially people like dan who I had not talked strategy with. Now it seems he is more closely tied to Austin than me, which means he is not a psare vote I can use or a source of information, everything is funnelled through austin. I need to get my act together and start finding people who I can use without others being in the way. Not an easy task.

I haven’t done one of these in FOREVER. I have an IDOL and a ADVANTAGE! An extra vote, SICK! Our tribe flopping could lowkey be a blessing as we are here to fight and get a majority. I’ve reunited with Dan and Keegan with the new Keji tribe as like a 6. Ive bonded with Coco, Glo and Stephen so like, that’s 9. As long as we get the majority and make the allies think they’re in the inner circle that’s all I need so they won’t flip. 9 can turn to me in the minority pretty quickly. Anywaysss now that it’s merge and I’m reunited with ppl I can redo the Idol Board and get ppl to send me their scores “I want one of us to get it instead of anyone else” teehee. I’m a snake. A silly snake. But a snake nonetheless.

Heather won the first immunity and that’s alright for me! She’s a close ally and that means the votes are wide open for this tribal. But I’m also nervous since I didn’t win and merge votes are notoriously sketchy. I’m very glad I have a hidden immunity idol. I’d like to save it for a later vote but I’m not going home with this thing in my pocket so if I get sketched out at all I’m playing it. Better to waste it.

Oof. OOF. Mac just added Livingston to a alliance chat that had already been made. An alliance chat that Mac had said “Hey F4” in when it was first made. And now he added Livingston, a fifth member, to the chat. Mac. No. Mac what are you doing. Mac. Stop.

So Mac and I just had a call. He said according to Coco he and I are on the bottom of our tribes. Now, I would love to trust im my core three, the chatty trio, and trust in our og tribe, but there are issues. Issue 1) I haven’t been to tribal yet. This means that I havent gotten confirmation that my alliance is legit and they haven’t gotten confirmation that I can be trusted. Issue 2) If Coco flips it means we are 6-6 split, and who knows what will happen then. Issue 3) I need to make a move in this game and fast. I am starting to slip into goat “cruising through” territory, and that’s not me. But I have to make sure I can take credit for the move, be able to show I’m not just drinking Macs kool aid. Now I did lay groundwork with Mac that led to this opportunity, and that’s great, but I need to make sure my voice is heard as well. I also need to make sure Mac isn’t just getting me to say stuff so he can use it against me. There’s a lot to consider, and not a lot of time to do so.

So clearly the other side has some messy ass people. Apparently the people of Mac, Darcy, Kyle, Keegan and Livingston have me on their radar because they chose not to talk to me or barely do which is weird. Livingston is apparently mad we didn't talk to him but I went into my DMs and saw he ended all of our conversations prematurely before we said bye or anything. He never responded to me so ok, tea. Kyle never even talked to me so that's fun. Mac exchanged like 3 words to me and stopped responding. The only two I had decent conversations with were Darcy and Keegan and I don't trust them. Right now if I'm being targetted, I'm ready to drop some tea bombs on some people even if they aren't tea but lies. I'm not gonna be eliminated by a group of people that chose not to talk to me and end our conversations and blame it on me.

Heather is immune with the first individual immunity and I'm 100% chill with that . I feel kyle mac or darcy have to go this first vote. They are a trio and I feel are def smart players. My core pretty ppl alliance seems like it is sticking together for now which is great bc less ppl the better .

youtube

It’s been incredibly quiet today and it’s definitely worrisome. Heather said she heard a whisper of Mac’s name but mostly just Evan’s. We had a good conversation and are going to watch each other’s backs. It’s nice to have that with someone outside of my Revenge for Kevin alliance. But I don’t know what’s really going to happen at tribal tonight. I do wish I’d won immunity. Time will tell if it’s Evan or Mac getting the boot. As long as it ain’t me though, I’m alright.

So I heard MY name come up as an easy vote by the other tribe. Why? I'm not publically being a threat to anyone? Actually, perhaps that's why I'm considered an easy vote. However, I know that my old tribe has the numbers no matter what, and we intend on sticking together. And that's what we'll do.

I’m getting votes. I think Evan’s going but I’m getting votes. Fml. Oh well. I don’t think there’s enough to send me home though. (This will wither age well or it won’t)

My old tribe has been discussing who to take out. Once I found out Kyle was throwing my name out there, I was trying to lobby everyone to vote for Kyle. However, the more I thought about my future in this game, the more I realized that Darby might be more beneficial. With Kyle calling the shots and being on the other tribe leading to a potential underdog story, Kyle is a meat shield for me. I know that I will be able to flip-flop safely and make big moves as long as I have meat shields available. And with me being percieved as a goat come the merge, it's important that I make these big moves and get away with it. However, I also don't want someone who is actively throwing my name out there. Blindsiding Kyle would create the message of "If you come after me, you'll go home." I don't know who I'll vote for...

OMG. I have done so much during this round. I've been up for 19 hours and I've been constantly trying to get information. First I was on call with Mac for one and a half hour. It was crystal clear to me that he was trying to TRICK ME. He wants me to vote with him against my main people(evan,eric). He thinks he could get me to vote with him, livingston, darcy and kyle. I'm like no way. After that I spilled everything to my MAIN ALLIANCE: Evan, Heather, Eric. and then others who i trust for now: glo, austin, stephen. Heather kept pushing us to vote out Darcy which is fine with me because I don't really trust him. In order to keep our plan a secret I told Mac that he was being targetted and that he was the target of Eric/Evan. Other than that I have been in a final 3 alliance with Heather, Evan. I also promised Final 3 to Eric. I have another final 3 deal with glo, heather. Even tho i have all these deals.. I hope that my final 4 will be Stephen, Eric, Evan and myself. I think that I could win the game if I'm next to them but idk who I would wanna give 4TH place.

My heart was pounding as my name kept coming up. When Tawni asked if anyone was feeling nervous and I didn't raise my hand, I was totally lying. But thankfully for me, I'm still in the game. Now that I know what it feels like to have your name written down, I know that it's important to prevent votes cast against you at all costs; even if you aren't going home.

I've been wanting to get out Austin since day 1 when he lied to me about his connections coming into this game. Because of that, I instantly knew I couldn't trust him. Now, it's time to finally share the fact that he can't be trusted and get Austin out.

I was talking to Heather discussing the idea of making a move against Austin, and Heather catches me in this lie about Oak Island, when I said I knew what the challenge was before I started it, when in reality I didn't. Because of it, I admitted the fact that I have an idol to her. I was upset at myself at first, but then she told me she has an idol as well. Despite Heather trusting me enough to tell me she has an idol, Heather having an idol makes me very weary of her. I'm aware that Heather is a huge threat in this game. Not only is she a challenge threat, but she now has an idol in her pocket. So if I need to blindside one of my closest allies because she's too much of a threat, that's what I'll need to do.
