Pest Control

So if you've been looking at my posts lately you'll realize I've been fixating on Queen Danny. And I'm going to keep doing that. But let me grind up some new concepts to throw in.

You think that bugs can become ghosts? Other than singular ones like in Doctor's Disorders? Not really. They're not as obsessed or driven enough to be fully formed, and areas where they become even blobs via excess ecto would probably have a bunch of blob eaters or something balancing it out. So the singular ones in that episode would be much more rare in comparison.

And ghosts who control bugs don't count. We're talking about bugs being the ghosts.

But what about those mass insect killings? Pest control, or when a full apartment building lights on fire and there's enough ectoplasm around? You get a Hive.

Hives always prefer to work together, since even at their creation they are made up thousands or even millions of the creepy crawlies. They either form a body from tiny bodies or chose a majority that can represent it properly. So they can just meld and split without concern.

And in the bug and insect world, more often than not, the Queen is at the top. Pariah didn't count, he didn't even like the Hives. On the other limb, High Queen Phantom had created a clutch of her own.

Once she came into power, the Hives wish to fulfill her desires, as insect kingdom instincts demand and through newfound loyalty. They do so, to the detriment of everyone else.

College Students! Karushuu where Karma is also a semi-famous streamer and Gakushuu is trying his best to not be recognized by his viewers.

Karma posts pranks, challenges and reacting videos on Youtube, and streams bad video games on Twitch. He loves playing the worst games just to rage about them, and people follow him to hear him insult the work of developers. He sometimes talks about his boyfriend but never reveals his name so the chat can only speculate about who that mysterious partner is.

Gakushuu is an Economics Management student who's trying to reach MIT. He doesn't hang out with the other students, doesn't talk much about his life, and has very little social media presence. He's careful to never show himself on camera when his boyfriend is streaming.

One day when he's having zoom class, Gakushuu can't stay in his own room because his neighbors are apparently having some work done, so he goes to Karma's apartment. Someone recognizes the streamer's decor and tweets about it.

Another day, Gakushuu comes to the college with his boyfriend's sweatshirt, and someone realizes it and asks him if he follows the streamers too.

Another day, Karma forgets to turn off the camera and leave the live when he finishes the stream, and the viewers can get a glimpse of Gakushuu's arm when he comes to give his boyfriend some food.

Every day people around him suspect him to be the boyfriend and every day Gakushuu has to dismiss them. When the fans find Gakushuu's Twitter account, Karma feels obliged to tell his followers to please not spam that poor student who simply wants to complete his last year in peace, and pretends that they have nothing to do with each other. Unfortunately, it doesn't work.

Gakushuu can't wait to fly to USA and be around people who don't follow a Japanese streamer.

"Somebody gotta, gotta raise a little hell"

[ken-katayanagi]

I’ve read your google docs of the katayanagi twins’ fashion. Super interesting stuff and I love it as both a fashion enthusiast and fan of the siblings. Your document really emphasizes the distinction between those two even with the very little info we have on them (kyle’s style could be late 80s japanese pop while ken’s style could be more leaning towards visual kei). Also matches their personalities (ramona mentioned kyle is the hothead of the two, so I guess the pretty and proper bad boy kind of look fits him)

Something about your endnote fascinates me, however. You mentioned something about the twins’ relationship being strained but then strengthened after ramona’s betrayal. Would you implore more on the idea? I’m now invested in it very much…. thank you and have a good day

Thank you!!! I mostly based my looks off this piece of concept art by O’Malley, which makes me think the personalities the twins had in their few anime appearances were just parts that weren’t as well communicated in Vol. 5

(I think that little doddle next to the crossed out “they’re not even Japanese” emphasizes that visual kei comparison you made)

But as for the second bit, I think the twins weren’t exactly on great terms, even before Ramona. A decent part of this has to do with my own personal head cannons surrounding Kyle and how I perceived his and Ramona’s relationship with alcohol, but also with just how different the twins seem to be under the surface. They seem like they would run in almost completely opposite social circles and be invested in similarly opposite things.

And it’s honestly really tied to their teens. Basically, their parents kinda unintentionally set up a dynamic where Kyle felt like Ken got away with everything (piercings, weird clothes, going out to band shows and having a more trusting relationship with their parents) and Ken thought Kyle couldn’t get his act together (partying, showing up back home late, getting in fight with their parents). Neither was true as in reality their parents let a lot of stuff with Ken slide that wouldn’t have otherwise because “well at least he’s not drunk” and Kyle was genuinely going through some serious mental shit but not telling anyone so his actions just looked super random and mean spirited. So by the time they get to college, they haven’t really addressed this weird image they have of the other in their heads.

And it explains how Ramona was even able to two time siblings. They’re not going to the same parties, they’re not really talking at length about their lives (since they never mention enough detail to make the other suspicious), they’re probably not really bothering each other much if they share a dorm. Ramona unconsciously sees and plays this divide, knowing they’re not really together enough for her to get caught.

It also emphasizes for me a very emotional aspect for all three of them. Ramona is hot off a messy break up (Roxie), the breakup that ended her first relationship with a women and also seems to be her first attempt at having something…maybe not serious but genuine (it seemed more important than anything with Matt Todd or Lucas). Shes hardly in the headspace to be in a relationship, and maybe after some nights out, she’s terrified and not sure what to do because whoops she’s in two! And the longer it goes on the less Ramona actually wants to fix it because it’s kinda fun in a messed up way, and the twins aren’t bad company…until it all comes crashing down and she’s out the door before they even notice she’s gone. I think Ramona’s relationship with the twins is her at her actual lowest, with her being most at fault for what happened and the least justified in bolting afterwards. This low point is exactly when Gideon finds her, unsure and upset at herself, in exactly the position to manipulate her. (Sorry if this came off a little Ramona bash-y, I love Ramona but this girl makes bad choices)

As for the twins, I think the really strong emotional beat here is the idea of how avoidable it would’ve felt for them. How if they had just been able to set aside their own bullshit, if they had even bothered to connect at all, they could’ve figured it out in a few days, rather than in a few weeks or a few months. Ramona’s betrayal is catalyst for them to sit down and just…talk out a lot of their own personal crap.

But yeah that’s why. Sorry this got super massively long, but I hope you liked it and it wasn’t too ramblely lol.

peter pescadero's relationship with gene is so cute actually. he was out there supporting from DAY ONE when gene was getting bullied in western spagehtti and meatballs peter was the one laughing at all his jokes anyway. he plays in gene's weird band and agreed to play the bandshell with him in the movie w/ full makeup and everything just bcuz they're friends. he convinced his older brother to let him lend gene his super expensive music equipment while he was away at college in s13 in amelia. like THATS a friendship I wish was actually explored more often in the show bcuz it seemed in s1 and s2 they were kinda trying to build a friendship between them similar to louise w/ rudy. Bob's burgers if peter pescadero was gene's best friend instead of alex whatshisface 🌈🌈🌍☀️❤️

Somedays I just go back to my silly idea of writing a fic where Scarecrow kidnaps Jonathan Sims during Sims visit to america - prefencially after Jon was already kidnaped by Trevor and Julia (everyone can abduct Jonathan Sims with very little effort).

Now I have a lot of reasons for that but mostly Jonny Crane deserves to know the world is controlled by fear entities and that he can even join one (or more since the division is rather arbitrary) and I NEED to write an universe where Elias can just contact Batman but doesn't until he realizes he might just lose the whole archive and a bit less the staff (except for Tim but at this point Tim barely counts as an employe for how little work he does) since Martin accidentaly discovered Jon was kidnapped AGAIN and Elias was hiding it AGAIN so now he, Georgie and Basira are making a questionable rescue plan and Daisy and Melanie begrundgly join for their girlfriends sake.

at probably three quarters of the way through the main storyline of my time at sandrock, if not further, i have chosen my romance and my boo is dreaming of wedding bells...

so i finally upgraded my house from the one-room shack you start out with. 😅 in just under a week in-game i went from a tiny hovel able to fit barely more than a single bed to a lovely two-story cottage with individuated foyer, great room, master bedroom, kitchen, loft room, front balcony, and back balcony-porch.

the real difference between tumblr users and reddit users is that when push comes to shove reddit users can crash the fucking stock market and meanwhile even if you could lead a bunch of tumblr users to water we'd probably all start arguing and trying to drown each other before you could get any of us to actually take a drink

Friend groupchat has been doing TOH finale analysis all afternoon and @thesixthstar made the comment "Luz is the Collector's Azura" and I am going to be rotating that one in my mind for. A long time. Forever maybe.
