What are we, but deep-fried skeletons

[artdcnaldson]

UGH ok twist my arm i guess!!!! as a little treat!!!! dr donaldson <3

so gynecologist art, yall, doctor donaldson. cat and i were in the dms TRUST. so art decides that he should probably have a backup plan, just in case tennis doesnt work out after college. he doesnt expect to actually need it because his tennis is going great, hes on track to go pro very soon. but JUST in case, he decides to use his good grades to study some kind of medicine. initially he had thought some kind of sports medicine, if nothing else then it would be good knowledge for himself down the line.

but after his grandma passes (not of a stroke) and he hears his family discussing how if only her gynecologist had paid better attention and taken her serious she might have lived longer (idk anything about medicine but probably some kind of cancer yknow?). anyway he sees that a his motivation and picks gynecology as his field. patrick absolutely teases him to death over it, "you're gonna be a pussy doctor? what so you just get to look at naked chicks all day? i'd quit tennis for that too". again he's not really expecting to need it, so he doesnt take it too hard. but he's kind of obviously the only guy in the course, and the girls all think he's kind of weird for wanting to pursue a field of medicine that isnt relevant to him. but after him telling the story about his grandmother they all coo and comfort him that its okey and they understand.

he does well in all his classes because he does truly find it interesting and wants to do his best to help women. but as he's getting ready to go pro, he has an accident on the court, as he's going to return a long ball he twists his ankle and takes a bad fall. his recovery is good, but his ankle will never be as it was before, and his chances of the big tennis dream slowly dies. and ultimately he's just unwilling to spend his life as a struggling tennis player, when he could be making a real difference.

now that he has his own practice he likes to tell that story to his new patients, especially the ones who seem tense with the fact that he's a man, who will be examining their most private area. it does well to ease their minds. hes been doing this for many years now, he enjoys the work, and the women who come to him are happy with his work. his patients are typically slightly older women, as they're not as phased by a male gynecologist, whereas most younger women arent as comfortable with the idea. he doesnt mind that, in fact he understands perfectly. honestly hes grateful for it, he fears the day he might have a patient whos just a bit too attractive and he'll have to struggle to keep his cool.

that day unfortunately comes sooner than he had hoped. its your first appointment with him after having him recommended by a friend, you had contacted him and told him how you were very unhappy with your current doctor and wanted to try something else. not having had a male doctor before, except like your dentist, youre very nervous for the appointment. not knowing what to expect from it, or how seriously he will take your issues. out of nervous habit youve gotten ready for the appointment as if it were a date rather than a clinical exam. showered, shaved, cute panties, hair and makeup done. its all totally unnecessary, but the moment you see him for the first time you thank the divine for looking your absolute best. GOD hes so hot. far too hot to be a doctor. lets just say that he wears scrubs because theyre so sexy, and they truly are criminally flattering on him. he sits on his chair, typing away as youre lead into the room by an assistant. as soon as he looks up and asks you to have a seat with him, you both know youre screwed. the tension is immediately noticeable as you discuss your reason for coming in, just a routine check because your last doctor wouldnt do it thorough enough and didnt listen enough to your issues.

he leaves the room while you strip off and leave your clothes in a neat little pile, panties clearly on top in the hope that he'll see them and think theyre cute. and he does, in fact his eyes keep fluttering to them as hes getting ready for the exam. he has to adjust his chair a little lower in the hopes that you cant see that he's getting hard. meanwhile youre going from soaking to sopping wet as you watch him put on the latex gloves, snapping them against his wrist.

he can tell that you're tense, but as its your first appointment with a male gynecologist, he assumes thats the reason, and not the fact that youre mortifyingly wet. he tries to calm your nerves by telling you what he'll be doing, he sits right in front of you on his chair and tells you how first he'll examine externally, just checking for anything irregular. then an internal exam with the same purpose, and then finally a physical exam where he will just have to feel your tummy as well as your pelvis to ensure everything is as it should be. totally routine stuff, nothing out of the ordinary, if anything hes far more attentive and careful to make sure youre comfortable. but the way hes saying it, his voice and the way he's looking at you has you clenching your thighs shut and trying to keep yourself from making a puddle on the table.

as he gathers his tools he asks you to place your legs in the stirrups, he sees you struggling a little to get your right leg properly in place, he gently grabs your leg and helps you place it properly. goosebumps cover you leg as he pulls his hand away again. you can feel how wet you are as youre not totally exposed to him, dripping wet, youve been less wet when hooking up with people. this is just from interacting with him briefly, really its embarrassing. hes so sweet asking if everythings alright, and if he can do anything to help you relax. and after squeezing your eyes shut and holding your breath for a second you finally get out that you just feel like youre really wet, and youre not youre not sure why, this doesnt usually happen. hes so sweet, trying to reassure you, telling you its perfectly normal. its a natural response from your body, if anything its a sign that youre healthy!

hes not lying, he really does mean what hes saying, it is good and it is normal. but hes never seen anyone be quite this wet during an appointment in his office. youre soaked, its practically dripping onto the table and forming a puddle. if he was sporting a semi under the table he might have referred you to a different doctor. but youre so pretty he cant help himself.

he really does try his best to stay professional and not let his attraction crack through and distract from his work. but fuck youre so tight around his latex covered fingers when hes doing the exam. and you only squeeze down tighter when he tries to reassure you, tell you youre doing good. its making it hard for him to focus on the task at hand. it takes everything in him to keep his hands from drifting and moving to find those sweet spots inside of you. he doesnt have to deprive himself for long tho as he accidentally brushed against your gspot. his cheeks turn bright pink as he hears a tiny moan escape your lips. and youd been so good at keeping them in the whole time too. but this one couldnt be contained. he stays good, doesnt say anything, just carries on with his work. but he almost lets out a moan of his own as he sees the ring of cream gathered around his gloved fingers.

he takes his work very seriously and he doesnt take the idea of losing his medical license due to malpractice lightly, so he wouldnt be just giving in to his urges. his resolve breaking doent come lightly, its a big deal to him. he goes home that day and jerks off in the shower while thinking about you, he knows exactly what your pussy looks like, what it feels like, how soaking wet you got for him. he cums again in his bed and humps his mattress while dreaming about you. he wakes up and decided he needs to see you again. asks his assistant to set up another appointment with you. when he asks what for, he stutters and says something about needing to do some tests just to be sure of something. hes lying, obviously, but he needs to see you again. he cant stop thinking about your tight little cunt...

-🐞

ladybug your mind amazes me... <3

He can't risk medical malpractice, and he really is a good doctor, he loves his work, he wants to help people. And he's really never, ever reacted this way to a patient before, but god, he can't get you out of his mind.

So maybe he schedules a follow up for a week later. Maybe his heart is racing and his palms sweat when he walks into the examination room and sees you in the little fabric gown, hands in your lap, worrying your lip between your teeth.

He feels like a nervous teenager on a first date, not a fucking healthcare professional.

He listens to you speak about your concerns, walks through your test results from the week prior. Everything looks good, he says. Nothing felt abnormal, your body is working just how it's supposed to. Do you have any questions for me?

You shake your head, sweet and shy, aching for an excuse to get his hands on you again, but running low on things you can ask for.

timestamps + quotes from the lore segment of the stream!

2:08:14 - ranboo notices memory book is gone and searches his house, then leaves

2:13:20 - checks underground, begins truly worrying

2:16:35 - returns to his house to check again. becomes even more concerned. up until now hes been talking to chat in between searches, but now hes much quieter searching for it

2:18:35 - music cuts out. stops reading donos/subs. maybe when the true "conversation" starts?

2:23:30 - "you" vs "i" vs "we" picks up. before it felt like he was reassuring himself, or we were only hearing on half of the conversation but now it feels like we can hear both (quotes start after this)

2:31:10 - he finds the book

quotes (from the "conversation". NOTE: i am guessing on which "side" is saying each line based off context)

"if someone DOES find it, youre screwed! [...] you have no moral backbone, you just fall to pressure!"

"yeah i know, i know"

"it has to be in one of the chests, you emptied out your inventory there"

"i remember that, i remember"

"why dont you have it? why dont ypu have the memory book, thats the one thing that shows you havent been as loyal as you said youve been!"

"i know, i know! its fine, im fine!"

"someone took it"

"theres no way, theres no way, thats foolish to- how could you think that? no no, noone took it"

"someone probably-"

"no no, noone took it"

[after saying that the book lists all the things ranboos done and lied about] "but its fine, cause noone found it. right?"

"yeah, thats what i was thinking"

"we're doing fine, yknow you just have to make sure you never lose it again once you find it, cause you WILL find it, right?"

"good, good, thats good to hear"

"they CANT find it, because id they do theyll know what youve been doing this whole time, and we dont want that to happen"

"i had two, one got burnt but the other one- i had it, didnt i? did i? i cant remember. what was in it?

"ok what was in it, what was in it?"

"it had- it had- what did it have?"

"ok, it had your allegiances, [...] your morals, [...] what you believed in, what you did- it DEFINITELY had what you did"

(yeah i got lost on this one he switched mid sentence it seems?)

"no no but its fine we're fine we're doing fine-"

"it has what i did, it has the fact that i betrayed everyone IMMEDIATELY they told me they told me 'no no you have to-' oh god- they told me, 'no, no-'"

"'you have to maintain- you have to maintain loyalty, youre not gonna betray us, right?' thats what they said, thats what they said to you, but no you did it IMMEDIATELY! why? why did you do it immediately?"

"what were you thinking when gave back the armour to the one enemy of the one country whos given you a HOME?"

after finding the book:

"you didnt put it there- i KNOW you didnt put it there, [...] you didnt keep it in that chest, [...] thats not where you originally put it- i know, cause i remember"

"how did it move"

[twewy-comix]

x4 me to die - let’s watch the twewy anime

oh yeah wow the sub timing’s really bad lol. good thing im a fast reader! (and i also have ears)

oh nooooo he mistakes someone else for shiki ;;; theyre really cranking up the pain of some of these scenes to 11

ok so ive been slowly trying to get through final remix, which is easier said than done because im old now and the controls do a number on my wrist. anyway i had to fight one of those rhino things and totally forgot you have to aim at its ass. but it turns toward you whenever you hit it anyway? goddamn fucking rhinos

alright, fun story, i didnt play twewy right when it came out because i was a baby who needed my mom and dad to buy games for me. but my VERY FIRST memory of it is wondering why the fuck this person i followed (uhh “watched”?) on deviantart kept saying “zetta slow xDDD” what does that mean, what’s slow, more like zetta annoying as shit

my opinion has not changed. 

and now i have money to spend on games and mountains of sho beanbags

iiyo

so they had josh call him “neku” twice before asking his name in the DS NA version, edited that out of the switch NA version, but now it’s back here

our normal friend josh! also he slow claps lmao

alright, i was wondering how they were gonna do this--actually imo the first scan happening by accident like this makes more sense to me than the game’s “just scan me if you dont trust me” “i know that won’t work (does it anyway)”

.......but now i wanna know how the other josh scans will work out? in the game he could do it, like, secretly from afar, but is he gonna be like “hey bro dont mind me just gonna platonically touch your shoulder and stare into space for a bit, as bros do”

more foreshadowing! ok well it’s more like straight up “these two are players now” but yeah

there it is, the line that sparked years of twewy conspiracy theories

(...from me. are they gonna elaborate on this in neo?? I HAVE TO KNOW)

bro we all know youre like 40

one time i trespassed visited a junkyard with my dog and she kept jumping into all the junked cars because she wanted to go for a ride. it was adorable.

OH NO! OH GOD! ALL THIS TIME I THOUGHT THESE THINGS WERE JUST IN THE UG BUT EVERYONE CAN SEE THEM??? #CRINGE #CRINGE #CRINGE

it’s too much. my rage has dissipated into solemn acceptance. all i can think of to say is “ouch” and “this is really sad”

(and “wooh! w”)

these guys are cringing too

OH RIGHT I ALMOST FORGOT, i didnt mention it before but the reaper grunts’ designs have changed, and someone pointed out that the red ones’ is really similar to neku’s new design in neo

chain necklace, mask, v-neck, hoodie

this has some unfortunate implications!!! (i mean assuming it IS neku, which we dont actually really know yet)

anyway

koko de 4ne

(the subs dont even try to translate the goroawase... a blessing or a curse? u decide)

[insert really gory sfx here]

but no blood? that’s weird. do players not have blood?? or maybe someone stepped on a burger or something. anyway this guy’s hella dead

then sho tries to make everyone kill each other???????? but neku’s like “dont listen to that asshole” and theyre like “ok”

...yo that’s totally the mus rattus shopkeeper on the bottom left there

gee thanks for the gamefaqs josh wouldve been useful a few days ago

oh nvm there’s violence anyway. “what no, purple hoodie guy, purple hoodie guy no”

BRO????

okay well now kariya and uzuki are summoning rhinos too. rhinos all over the goddamn place. goodbye, yumi sheena

subs leave out number puns: thank you

subs translate “follow my lead” “screw that” differently: noooo whyyyy i hate funimation :’( :’( :’(

in the game neku tells josh what happened to shiki and he’s like “happens all the time who cares lol”

here, josh already knows makes a lucky guess. because it happens all the time.

normal friend josh!

five hours

yknow what, yeah, considering sho’s characterization here, he probably did want them to just murder the winner for the gold pin

--oh wait no this isnt the gold pin mission. but still

“i stole it :)”

shopping tutorial’s moved way ahead to here. clearly this is foreshadowing josh’s princess umbrella, which will prove invaluable in the final battle

man i wonder who’s responsible for making all that taboo noise? it’s a mystery

ugh, anime is full of male gaze :///

OH OKAY THIS IS DIFFERENT

zowee

yooree

:(

♫ there’s our friend, our normal friend, there’s our normal pal josh ♫

♫ he’s a normal guy, with red glowing eyes, he likes to think about how neku dies ♫

what an awkward situation! luckily beat is here to punch neku in the face to break the ice, as well as neku’s jaw

and... uh... then he leaves. the end

♫ normal guy, breaks glass with his mind ♫

bonus:

[relv07]

Title: once promised, twice tied

Summary:  Yato and Yukine may have missed Hiyori's birthday, but they're certainly not about to miss her half birthday. 

AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/28382691

Thump.

“You idiot, you’re going to wake her up!”

“It’s not my fault! You tripped me—”

Ominous thumping and furious whispers at 4 AM would be ample cause for concern for most teenage girls, particularly if the sounds were coming from the direction of her bedroom window. A year ago, Hiyori might have screamed. Now, however, she simply allowed herself a small moment to stare at her dark ceiling and remind herself that suplexing the inevitably tracksuit-clad intruder would probably wake up her parents.

She turned on her bedside lamp and squinted towards her window. Yato had frozen like a deer in the sudden light, one leg in and one out of her window, his shoulders dusted with snow. Yukine was kneeling on the ground, seemingly in the middle of picking up some brightly wrapped packages that had probably been the source of the thumping. Both gave her sheepish smiles.

“...hi, Hiyori,” said Yukine, his voice cracking. Neither he nor Yato moved, as if doing so might incur her wrath.

“Yato,” Hiyori said slowly, sitting up and addressing the likely mastermind of the scheme as if he were a small child. He flinched under her gaze. “It is four in the morning. And,” she added, eyeing the packages on the ground with a hint of wariness, “Christmas was three days ago.”

“I know that,” Yato protested, still straddling her windowsill. His muscles were tensed, like he was debating making a run for it. “We didn’t mean to wake you, it was supposed to be a surprise!”

“What was supposed to be a surprise?” Hiyori brought her legs over to the side of her bed and shivered as cold air hit her skin. “Come in and shut the window, okay? It’s cold out.”

Yato and Yukine exchanged a look before Yato let out a sigh and swung his leg over the sill, shutting the window behind him. Yukine awkwardly stood up beside him, shifting from leg to leg. She noticed that he had removed his shoes by the window to avoid tracking snow inside, and she smiled to herself. Even when they broke into her room in the middle of the night, it was hard to stay mad at them.

“Your birthday was in June, and we missed it, so we thought…” Yukine trailed off, his cheeks turning pink. He shoved his hands into his pockets and ducked his head.

Yato finished the thought with a broad smile. “Happy half birthday, Hiyori!”

Scratch that, it was impossible to stay mad at them. “You didn’t need to do anything. My birthday isn’t that big a deal—”

“We know,” Yukine interrupted her, finally managing to meet her eyes from under the brim of his winter hat. “We figured you wouldn’t want to make a big deal of it, so we were just going to drop off some stuff. We really didn’t mean to wake you.”

“We’ll just leave the gifts here, and you can go back to sleep,” Yato promised. “It’ll be like we were never here.”

So they said, but neither made a move to leave, instead looking at her with matching pairs of puppy dog eyes. Hiyori couldn’t help but smile, her heart suddenly feeling very full. As much as Yato and Yukine bickered, sometimes they were very much alike. “Well,” She pretended to think, placing a finger on her chin. “Since you’re already here, and I’m awake, do you want to watch me open your gifts?”

Both Yato and Yukine’s faces brightened immediately, and she giggled. “Okay, what should I open first?”

“Oh! Before you open anything…” Yato picked up one of the boxes, white with a pink bow on it, and then paused. “Close your eyes first.”

Hiyori obeyed, and after a moment she heard the unmistakable sound of a match being struck, followed by a muttered curse.

“Careful, you’re going to set her house on fire!” Yukine hissed, and Hiyori resisted the urge to open her eyes. Yato may be destructive, but she figured that if anyone could handle his destructive tendencies, it would be Yukine.

“Okay, you can open them now!”

She opened her eyes to find Yato kneeling in front of her, holding a cupcake. It was frosted white and had three little sugar flowers pressed into it, along with a single lit candle. Yato smiled at her, and the flicker of the flame was reflected in his eyes. “Make a wish.”

Her heart was racing, but Hiyori huffed a small laugh. “No charge for this one?”

“Nah,” Yato grinned. “This one’s on the house. Birthday special.”

She screwed her eyes shut. She wasn’t quite sure if gods could hear wishes even if they were thought instead of said, and the thought of Yato hearing what she wished for was embarrassing. But, then again, Hiyori had already told Yato her heart’s dearest wish, many times now. She figured once more couldn’t hurt.

I want to be together forever.

She blew out the candle and opened her eyes to the sound of Yukine clapping. She smiled at him, then noticed that Yato was staring at her, his mouth slightly agape and his cheeks flushed. Hiyori felt a flash of heat on her own cheeks. He had definitely heard her.

But Yukine hadn’t noticed, so he plucked the candle out of the cake. “We made it yesterday. Daikoku helped with the baking, but Yato is weirdly good at decorating cakes.”

“I used to work in a bakery,” Yato supplied. His cheeks were still pink as he offered her the cupcake. “Here, give it a try!”

Hiyori carefully took a bite. It was delicious—vanilla with a sort of whipped cream in the center. It was sweet and light, and made all the better for knowing that Yato and Yukine had made it for her. She beamed at them. “It’s really good! You should try some.”

Yato looked tempted, but Yukine knocked him in the head with his fist. “No thanks, Hiyori. We made it for you.”

“Right, right.” Yato clapped his hands together. “Presents!”

Yukine brought three small packages over, each wrapped in bright red paper— probably leftover Christmas wrappings, not that Hiyori minded. Yato picked up a rectangular package and handed it to Hiyori, who gently set her cupcake on the nightstand. “This one’s from me,” he said proudly. The sparkle in his eye made her a bit apprehensive, but she carefully unwrapped the gift. Inside was a small box that contained a light pink hand-made omamori, complete with a little crown embroidered near the top. While the gift seemed more than a little self-congratulatory—Yukine’s eyeroll showed what he thought of it—it was actually quite beautiful, silk and embroidered with gold thread. She wondered what he had written for the prayer inside.

When she lifted her face to meet his eyes, his expression was oddly muted, but there was sincerity in his gaze. “So I can protect you, even when I’m far away.”

Why did it seem like he was trying to tell her something? She clasped the omamori between her palms; laced her fingers together in prayer. “Thank you, Yato. Just don’t go too far away, okay?”

Don’t go where I can’t follow, she thought. Either of you.

Yukine coughed pointedly and picked up the biggest gift of the three. “Okay, my turn!”

Hiyori accepted it with a hint of reluctance. Yukine worked so hard, and she felt bad thinking that he had spent any money on her. “Yukine-kun, you didn’t have to get me anything.”

“It’s okay,” Yukine said brightly, taking a seat next to Yato and leaning against the nightstand. “You’ve done so much for me...for both of us. I wanted to get you something in return.”

Hiyori smiled at him fondly, thinking of the angry teenage boy she had met a bit over a year ago now. He had come such a long way. All of them had.

“It’s nothing special,” Yukine added hastily as she began to unwrap the gift. “It’s just, um, I noticed you needed a new one.”

It was an eggshell-blue planner with an embossed bird on the cover. Yukine scratched his neck, embarrassed. “I figured you could use it, yknow, to write down memories. So you don’t forg—so you have something to look back on. I hope you like it.”

“I love it,” Hiyori said, fighting the lump in her throat as she clutched the planner to her chest and gave Yukine a soft smile. “And you’re right, I did need a new one. This one is perfect. Thank you, Yukine-kun.”

Yukine smiled back, before letting out a yelp as Yato grabbed him in a headlock and ruffled his hair. “Aww, Yukine-kun, you’re so thoughtful!”

“Let go of me, you asshole! You stink!”

“I do not! I smell great! I took a bath last night—”

“What did you bathe in, your own sweat?!”

Hiyori laughed, but disguised it as a cough when Yato sent her a wounded look. “Hiyori, you don’t think I stink, do you?”

“Um,” said Hiyori. How she felt about Yato’s smell was a subject to be avoided at all costs. “Yukine-kun, what’s the last package?”

“Oh yeah!” Yukine, freed from the headlock, glanced around and frowned. “Huh. Where did it go?”

“Beats me,” Yato said nonchalantly. Yukine immediately glared at him.

“After all that, you’re not going to give it to her?!”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about—”

“He spent so much time agonizing over it,” Yukine informed Hiyori. “He wanted to make you something special, and—”

Yato grabbed Yukine’s head and covered his mouth with his hand. “Don’t tell her that, you little sh— ow! He bit me!”

“Well, don’t give it to her if you don’t want to,” Yukine grumbled as Yato cradled his injured hand protectively to his chest. “Just don’t come whining about it to me later.”

“Oh!” Yato said, ignoring his hafuri. “We didn’t sing happy birthday.”

Yukine looked mortified and Yato was nearly off-key in his excitement, but Hiyori thought it was the best rendition of the birthday song she had ever heard.

A little while later found Yukine snoring softly, slumped against the nightstand. Yato removed his jacket and covered him with it as a makeshift blanket. Yukine mumbled something in his sleep, and Yato’s gaze softened. Hiyori couldn’t help but smile as she watched the two; their relationship was so special, and so meaningful for both of them. They looked for all the world like brothers, or maybe even father and son.

“This was his idea,” Yato said quietly, eyes still on Yukine. “He thought it would be nice to do something simple so you wouldn’t get overwhelmed or anything. He spent all day worrying about the cake and everything.”

“This was wonderful, Yato,” said Hiyori, kneeling on the floor beside him. “Really. It was very sweet of you both.”

Yato grinned at her, but the smile faded as he began to fiddle with something in his pocket. “Um. I do have something else to give you, but—”

“You don’t have to do anything else,” Hiyori assured him. “This was more than enough.”

“No,” Yato insisted. “I...I want to give this to you. I just, um, got embarrassed.”

With that, he removed the package from his pocket— square, and very small. He held it out to her, blue eyes bright. “Happy birthday.”

Hiyori’s breath hitched when she opened the gift. Inside the box, lying on a bed of velvet, was a simple gold ring. It was thin and delicate, with a small white stone set in the middle. Hiyori felt suddenly very dizzy. Yato had jokingly proposed marriage before, but this… “Yato…”

“It’s not an engagement ring or anything,” Yato clarified, but he was blushing again. “I just wanted you to have a reminder of me—of us. It’s...a promise. That I won’t run away anymore.”

The room was very warm all of a sudden, and something in Hiyori’s chest tightened as she stared down at the ring. Yato had made this, Yukine said. Yato had spent time forging this ring for her, as a promise for the future— a future they’d share.

Yato had begun to jiggle his leg out of anxiety as Hiyori examined the ring, and by the time she finally looked at him he looked downright terrified. “Okay,” she said simply.

“What?” Yato said, confused, but Hiyori just leaned in and gave him a chaste kiss on the cheek. When she drew back, his face was bright red, and she was sure hers was too. Nonetheless, she slipped the ring on her finger and smiled at him. “I’ll hold you to it.”

[loki-the-trikster-god]

greetings friend! i watched ur play! well only half of it so far, bc u know executive dysfunction and low attention span and all, but i really like it so far! of course i spend most of the time either thinking: “where’s loki?” or “omg hi loki” (also ur like really pretty btw, i really like your voice).

and the acting! it’s excellent honestly everything is so amazing. my only criticism is that you need more scenes.

it’s so cool how u guys were able to do this even with masks on, it was a bit hard to hear but other than that it worked fabulously.

i would have sent this after i finished watching the whole play but we are leaving to go to the cottage tomorrow so i don’t know how much time i’ll be able to spend on tumblr.

why are you doing SCHOOL in SUMMER? that’s just cruel honestly. hope ur surviving.

side note- guess what cecil? i graduated elementary school! i feel so small compared to everyone else on this site when i say that, but i mean, i didn’t fail my exams so yay, done with that school, woohoo.

in person grad was way weirder than i thought it would be, but everyone was so pretty so it’s cool (i would send u a picture of me bc i look absolutely fabulous but my mom would probably murder me if i did).

ahahaha dw amigo it’s all good. i love u too :)

oooh yes u should come visit me lol. airports are excellent.

chris colfer is awesome. that’s so cool! you really are quite good at theatre, i hope you continue to stay in the theatre world, bc ur really amazing

oh yeah i already commented on ur play ehehe :) in case you didn’t get the message though m, it’s VERY GOOD AND U ARE AN EXCELLENT ACTOR

(you are the best person there tho)

ugh growing up is the worst. being an adult sounds like more effort than i’m willing to put into anything except for this stupid puzzle i’ve been doing for the last four hours that isn’t even half done.

life is tough, i don’t know why people have to choose what they want to do at so young an age. my advice, though it is probably crappy, is to envision yourself in different scenarios and choose which one you see yourself being the happiest in.

i think college will be so fun! so many opportunities! and people even though i hate them (well except for a few of them, you included) they are cool i guess. i can’t imagine you being alone, even if you start that way, you are definitely one of those people that others can’t help but gravitate towards. and i’ll always be here for u.

therapy good, therapy good. as long as ur good friend

time is overrated. we should just do nothing all day and have it go on forever, screw time.

gods i’m tiRED ugh my dreams have been so cRazy this last few weeks and this week they’ve been so dark like i keep dying i think my brain wants me out of it

so, yknow, sleep is for the weak and we should just stay up till ungodly hours doing nothing like the strong people we are

*hugs u* i love u amigo. i wish you everything good this world has to offer. don’t even worry about how long it takes, because when i get your response it’s always worth the wait. i will check up on you if it’s been a while, mostly to make sure you’re still alive and ok :) of course amigo, love u.

lol totally legal, i bet. i nEeD to watch it, but i do think i’ll listen to the soundtrack about a kajillion times before it becomes available on amazon prime (i don’t have the motivation to watch things illegally, but they took sherlock off netflix, so we’ll see about that).

i watched the trailer though, and it looks aMazingg i can’t wait. it’s funny, i’m listening to the hamilton soundtrack rn.

ahahaha once again it’s completely legal. *narrows eyes* hmmmmmmm. but yEs i watched it it’s so amazing i love both that loki and my loki with my entire heart.

and the gEnder eNvy is seriously concerning *launches headfirst into another gender crisis, fucking hate these*, but absolutely. loki is an absolute icon. and they finally made him bi? like jeez marvel, took you long enough, but we’re still really happy about it

oh ok phew. was getting a bit concerned about ur criminal record there amigo. well concerned and amused, because i can’t imagine you hurting anything. like i had said before, you act untouchable but are so sweet and fuzzy on the inside i would like to hug u (hope that doesn’t come across as weird or anything)

:))) ahaha yes, typing thoughts as if it was an actual live conversation rather than the letter sort of thing we have going on here

i do think this has a nice aura of mystery and dramatics surrounding it that i really like, hope you do too.

oh ok i will watch the rest of it soon so u don’t get in trouble, will let u know :)

FAREWELL BEAUTIFUL LOKI UNTIL NEXT TIME AMIGO :)))

o jeez that was kinda long sorry bro

HI BITCH GUESS WHAT IM GETTING MY HAIR DYED IMMA BE JUPITER BABEYYYYYYY

sorry it’s been a million years im a loser idk what to say lmao

Anyways let’s talk to my friend :DDD I’m rewarding myself for almost finishing my class (one week left!!!) by talking to my dude clyde!!!! I’ve been looking forward to it

*faints from praise* THANK YOU that’s so sweet,,,, right now I think I’m prettty but it comes and goes,,,, anyways I’m so glad u enjoyed bits of it and I totally relate man I’ve never finished anything in my life lmaooooo

My little friend I am so proud of you!!!!! You’re a high schooler!!!!! A big kid!!!!!!! Go you!!!!!! You’re absolutely going to have a completely iconic high school experience I will make it so!!!!!!! Your bestie (who is a JUNIOR wtf and 3 months from being 17????) has always got your back even if his dumbass cant answer a letter ever :/// also don’t let ur mom kill u I can imagine<3

Dudeeeee the flatteryyyyy,,, I’m decent at acting in my own opinion, and it’s really nice to hear that you like it!!! I’m thinking of doing some directing this year to try it out cause I do have good design/concept ideas,,, Idk I’m messing around. As I should.

Omg I love puzzles I have this one friend (that’s in the hospital now :///) and the two of us could do a 1000 piece in like half an hour. Their brain is s o good at patterns and I’m decent so it’s godlike lmao. Adulting is lame but it’ll also be fun as long as I’m not alone. We’ll see. Also, that thing u said about me being someone people gravitate towards is really sweet and I appreciate it.

Ugh sleeping is lame yeah. I’ve had some whack dreams lately too, although you probably said that a while ago lmao.

Ok wait I’ve just had a thought. So part of the reason it takes me 10000000 years to answer is because it’s a big chunk of text which is good cause friend talk but u know brains so. I wonder if it isn’t too much trouble to you you could break them up? Like spam me with like seven short asks with the paragraphs? That way it’d be easier for me to answer them I think,,, but only if that’s chill with you, i can also keep doing this and I’ll be better at it during school too. Anyways yeah.

Ok so: have you seen the whole loki show? I’ve got thoughts. Some are bitchy and critical and some are positive cause it was very fun. I stan loki honestly. I mean it’s me but,,,, hehe. And of all the things I could complain about,,,, honestly sylvie and loki isn’t one? I just don’t care. They’re bi, I personally need some more m/f bi rep and like. Yeah. Anyways.

Lmao yeah if I’ve committed a crime I’m sure it’s just piracy or some shit against capitalism. Stealing is ok and in fact encouraged<3 funny, for someone who likes crime shows as much as I do I really don’t care for the law in general. But I wouldn’t hurt someone I’m just a lil friemd who happens to be somewhat confident and derisive and somewhat pompous but anyways,,,, hehe

Honestly I love the vibes we have going yeah it’s super exciting I feel like one of us (not sure which) is some sort of companion ghost that we rant to in public and confuse other people with and it’s iconic of us.

MY HAIR IS REDDDD it’s so cool I’ll give u a pic as soon as it’s trimmed :DDDD

Ok I think that’s most of the stuff we were talking about also!!! Before u go look at her<3

Alright bye for now dude!!!!! Absolutely lovely to write to you!!! I love u much!!!!!!!!!

Spock NSFW Headcanons

these were requested by @jxrdqn, who you should go check out because i like their hair color i can tell they're pretty cool. also, forgive me if these suck, i'm lowkey out of practice. they're also kindof short, although i may add more later down the line

N S F W :

- it's me, back at it again with that self-projecting-onto-characters-i-share-1(one)-similarity-with shit and spock is the PERFECT candidate for these cause i got a lot to say bitch

- SO, to start, mans isn't very experienced because sex is literally mind melding for vulcans. when you've gotta pick someone to like literally share your brain with, you're not just gonna go handing it out to people, yknow? so beforehand he's going to sit you down and have a conversation with you and explain vulcan anatomy and all that stuff

- he's always been kind of reserved, and so he doesn't seem to be hellbent of doin the nasty. in fact, he's probably not the one to bring it up first anyway

- that said Pon Farr hits him like a fuckin bus

- seriously, he's normally so reserved and poised, but when Pon Farr comes around he literally calls in sick and stays in bed all day because he can't get a hold of himself

- he's fidgety, restless even, and he finds himself sweating a little. he might avoid you completely if you haven't ever done anything like that with him before, but when you're next to him? lord save his soul

- it's not that hard to tell that's he's struggling to keep himself off of you, and he even gets a little snappy. touching him just makes it worse, and if the circumstances are right he would very much like it if you- ehem -alleviated him of his condition

- since he doesn't have too much experience under his belt he's probably a little bit ignorant on the topic of kinks. at first he denies he has any, says that it's not really necessary and that they're pointless, but when you convince him to try some things out? oh boy

- the only issue is getting him to admit them.

- in fact, he's so self conscious that he denies himself the satisfaction of initiating anything when he's feeling A Particular Way or just missing that feeling in general. he feels gross for desiring more than he has and it makes him think that's he's selfish for not being content

- but telling him that he's worth a lot to you makes him feel irrationally more self conscious due to his immediate assumption of pity from you. and so the best way, obviously, is to show him how much he means to you

- like yes, kiss him all over and nip at his ears he loves that shit and while you're at it cradle his face in your hands while you're riding him he will be this 👌 close to loosing his shit the whole time

- he's actually not that hard to turn on because he's VERY sensitive around his ears and neck. like, hypersensitive. kissing at his neck while you're in public makes his face and ears go all green and it's no wonder his nickname is “greenbean”

- but the thing is that he's never been big on pda, since it's seen as indecent in his culture. hand-holding is even considered indecent since it's like a whole casual makeout sesh so it's probably gonna take him a bit to do anything like that

- that a he's got more nerves in his hands due to vulcan physiology and so they're very sensitive as well

- so i have a lot of headcanons about vulcan erogenous zones but like to skim it down here's my chart that rates the levels of sensitivity for vulcans:

(red is instant-boner zone, orange is “u tryna get a little frisky” zone, and yellow is “maybe if imagination and/or pon farr is involved but otherwise whatever” zone)

- now notice how the ears, neck, eyelids, hands, abdominal sections, thighs, and pectorals are the most sensitive. vulcans usually wear a lot of clothing that is modest, and more often than not you can see that the neck is covered. its very sensitive and so since it was once practical it's more fashionable with that blast to the past thing with slightly tribal roots

- but sweet jesus is he sensitive in those areas, even without the whole protection from fighting thing

- he will take it to his grave before he admits that he likes a little bit of marking and roughness. that sort of stuff is looked down upon on vulcan, and so he's generally shameful of it. but if you bite this dude while he's railing you against the bed board he might just nut right then and there

- likes scratching too, and likes to have the pain from them the next day as a reminder

- he's not the type to be very loud during the whole thing but when he's getting particularly desperate for that high you're chasing he's definitely going to growl a little and then deny it literally two seconds afterwards

- he can be surprisingly rough, but only with your consent. the thing he wants the least is hurting you without your permission because he views it as a sign of betraying your trust and that can and will fuck him up. like he said already self conscious but having you hate him because he accidentally hurt you? scares the shit out of him

- he does like the idea of resistance as well but he's afraid he won't get the message and take it too far and he'll ruin everything so he just,,,avoids it

- it's one of a the few things he leaves unresolved to resonate, but if you're into that he will be a little more encouraged to approach you about it

- bdsm might not be his thing at first, but he finds himself becoming accustomed to it quickly, merely stating how he can see why people like it rather than saying he does directly

- oral also may not be his thing but after having some experience with it he's more inclined to give rather than receive just because he's that kinda dude. he wants to focus on pleasuring you since really he views you as the ultimate pripority here, even taking your experience above his and doing his best to please you (which i'm sure is more than enough, he's a quick learner)

- on the topic of pleasure specifically, i'd say that he's a switch but mostly a top considering he likes to feel like he's got a hold of something. that, and he likes to put you above him in that aspect so expect him to literally make sure you hit your climax like 5 time starts before settling down

- during his climax his eyes might screw shut and he'll clench his teeth, but that's pretty much it. he might also groan a little but like i said he doesn't really make a lot of noise besides the occasional growl

- he's around 7 inches in length and a pretty good girl of 6.9 inches exactly all around. probably curves towards his abdomen when erect, only vulcans have retractable dicks so when its out its curvin. it also turns a very interesting shade of fleshy green, and the two veins that run down to bottom pulse whenever youre touching him. pretty clean cut and all-around is very embarrassed at any point in time that he's being stared at when hes completely exposed

- nOW for my favorite part, mischellaneous headcanons ;

had no idea what the bdsm meant and lowkey was pretty sure it was a food before being further informed that it was in fact not a food

he blushes a whole lot, and he gets all quiet when he's feeling particularly pent up or turned on

most likely pansexual, since some alien species don't have a set binary or have multiple definitions for orientations, so it's easier just to say that you like pretty people rather than getting into the specifics

i would assume that he has no pubic hair because of vulcans not really growing much hair in general, so you won't have an issue navigating down there

probably thinks that seeing you mad is hot and he literally has no fucking idea why

like seriously if you're fucking livid and like fighting someone at the same time he may just want you to use any remaining rage on him in the bedroom no cap

- to spock, sex is something that requires trust and thought beforehand, and it might take him a while to adjust to some things because of those ideals that have been imposed on him since childhood. it's up to you to help him explore and figure it all out, and in the end it's worth it, promise

- he loves you, and while he doesn't think of sex as everything, he certainly loves that you trust him enough to do so with him of all people

[inkdemonapologist]

Okay but I do actually want to know both the things you love and the things you could rant about from DCTL?

OH BOY UHHHHHH okay lets see, I'm gonna see if I can do the "add a readmore after you post it" thing and see if that'll keep it stable.......

But also, much like Sammy, I am incapable of shutting up unless you strike me in the head with a blunt object, so uh, forgive my wordiness:

THINGS I ENJOY:

- DCTL gave us Sammy's ink addiction and like, if you had asked me before all this "what would you most like to see in a franchise?" I would not have answered "one of the characters drinks ink accidentally and then discovers that he can't stop" but boy that sure is my favourite concept that I LOVE to see handled literally any other way than how the book handled it!!!

- I like what it added to Tom and Allison and Norman!! Like, it's not big twists on their characters or anything -- we already knew Tom felt he was doing the wrong thing, so getting to see his CRUSHING GUILT over creating the machine isn't New Information, but it's nice to see and understand more of him; for all of them I feel a lot more attached to them after getting to see more of them as people.

- Like 90% of the "I LOVE IT" category for me is how the book handled Joey, and Buddy's relationship with Joey. The way Joey isn't a Sinister Mastermind Who’s Just Screwing With Everyone but just manipulative in a more mundane way -- someone who thinks of himself as just the guy with the vision to call the shots; he wants what he wants and this is how he's learned to get it; he exploits people not through devious schemes, but just by offering them something that they want or need and asking too much in return, expecting their loyalty for his favours. And the way he interacts with Buddy, making Buddy complicit with him and keeping Buddy off-balance and insecure while making him a favourite and treating him as Special is just PERFECT --  gives a lot of content to kind of extrapolate off of when pondering what must've drawn the others in and convinced them to ignore the red flags. I was initially frustrated with the idea of Buddy not being an artist and jUST DECIDING TO LEARN TO ANIMATE ON THE SPOT ("I've never done this before but I'm sure I can just do an artist's job" is a weirdly common throwaway thing in media and as an artist iTS A PET PEEVE) but actually the way they use his plagiarism to make him trapped in a lie in ways Joey doesn't even realise ends up being a neat echo of other employees (coughTOMcough), who were involved in much graver sins but suddenly felt they couldn't object or they'd lose their one chance, just like Buddy. There's a lot here that I think is really great.

OKAY THATS THE GOOD STUFF, LET'S COMPLAIN ABOUT SAMMY:

- Uncomfortable Bigotry Vagueness that we all knew was gonna be in this list -- I dunno man, a guy committing a microaggression and getting startled and defensive when he's called out for it doesn't necessarily completely ruin his character I GUESS, but the way this was handled is just SO WEIRD AND VAGUE that it's uncomfortable and it doesn't seem to serve any real purpose. "Is Tom black?" is a question I actually have to ask because the text sort of implies he is while also dancing around it and apparently Word of God said he's not??? which makes Buddy's comment nonsensical???? And I mean, you could go that route, since Buddy wonders to himself if Sammy talks to everyone like this -- HE ACTUALLY DOES!! Even within the text of the novel, he uses "Joey" instead of Mr. Drew, which is consistent with his audiologs in the game -- but that makes the writing suggest "this character THINKS this guy might be racist but actually they're reading too much into it and it wasn't racially motivated at all, he's just a jerk!!" wHICH IS SOMEHOW EVEN MORE ICKY??? Anyway like yeah I guess it's not inconsistent with his character that while Sammy Lawrence may not have any specific grudge against minorities he has probably not checked his privilege or done the work to challenge his own internal biases, but “Your Fav Probably Contributes To Systemic Racism In Ways He Hasn’t Considered, As Do We All When Our Assumptions Go Unchecked” is still a wild thing to wade through in a fun story about demonic cartoons

- but yknow so is T H E   H O L O C A U S T

- Sammy's voice is wrong. I'm actually okay with him being a weird awkward asshole, I already kind of assumed he was and that's part of why I like him!! but there's so many places he doesn't quite... talk like himself? And not just in terms of word choice, like -- so in his monologue at the end, he's described as talking so quickly that his words are "tumbling out faster than he can speak them," which initially seems fine; like yeah, that's a Standard Scene we're familiar with, the person who's been Driven Mad With Insight becoming more and more manic as they try to convey it -- until I tried to imagine it and realised that Sammy doesn't talk like this. That's a really consistent quality I always notice about his voice; whether he's almost giddily excited in prophet mode, or he’s his irritated and overworked human self, or he's violently angry and his voice has that echo effect -- he always speaks very deliberately. He enunciates carefully. There's some circumstances where I'd buy this as showing that he's Not Himself, but I feel like those would kind of need to be in the middle of his transformation, not at the end of it.

- In fact a lot of the scenes with Sammy kind of have this feeling -- that it's not necessarily an exploration of Sammy as a character, but that he is filling a trope or archetype role here. Once he's fully transformed he excitedly describes the process as more of a mental compulsion, which is in contrast to his weird yeerk-infected behaviour when trying to get ink from Miss Lambert. Both of those scenes don't seem wrong on their own because they fit tropes we know -- but they feel weird when you try to fit them together.

- I also just in general am not a fan of the ink acting like a weird yeerk. It can be a parasite I guess but when it starts overwriting and puppeting people and crawling around to enter their body that's just a completely DIFFERENT kind of supernatural story and it’s not what im here for!!!

- THE FREAKIN!!! HE WILL SET US FREE!!!! WHY????????? SAMUEL LAWRENCE WHAT IS HE SETTING YOU FREE FROM??????? Sammy has No Motive for any of what he's doing, other than just Ink Made Me Do It. The whole thing that was INTERESTING about Sammy as a character is the contrast between this frustrated, ornery musician with no specific love for the cartoons he works on, and the manically devoted cultist he becomes. What happened in the middle there? What made him desperate enough to shift his mindset so much? "Something supernatural made him do things that don't benefit him in any way" is a very boring answer to this question!!! Susie was a victim who implies that her transformation has forced her to do things she didn't want to do, but we can still see her motive -- she wanted to be Alice, so she took a sketchy offer to try to get what she wanted. Even now, her violence echoes that goal -- to be a more perfect Alice. What did Sammy want? WHO KNOWS. Even in his ink-addled state at the end, we don't understand what he hopes the Ink Demon will even do for him, and in fact he seems to be responsible for creating the very scenario he's begging Bendy to reverse in the game.

- [sighs loudly into my hands]

- Overall I'm left wondering if the author just..... didn't like Sammy Lawrence? And I don't mean that in the sense of him being a rude jerk -- like, Joey is not a good person, but the author seems to be interested in him and in what makes him tick. There doesn't seem to be that same interest in Sammy. Sammy's role in the story is that of a monster, transformed into something murderous, unable to prevent or choose it. He's not a victim of anyone but the ink, no one had to manipulate him or figure out how his brain worked or what he wanted or what he feared or give him any reason to do the things he does -- ink got in his mouth and overwrote his personality. And we don't even get to see that change, not really. He starts out angry and defensive and continues being angry and defensive up until his very last scene, denying his ink-stealing but not really much else. We see all his prophetic sketches but we never see hints of this in him, we never see him start to act more excited and hopeful, we never see him seek out the demon he desires to please. Why do we never see Sammy struggling between his dismissive angry front and a building religious fervour he can't quite suppress? We don't get to see any of the in-between. There's no interest at all in why or even what it looked like as Sammy became what he became, when, to be honest, I suspect interest in precisely that is one reason he's such a big fav.

- It's funny, in a "cries into my hands" kind of way, when Sammy is just knocked in the head while monologuing and immediately removed from the story without further mention, like...... that sure is the pattern with him, isn't it, he just tries very very hard and never actually gets to matter, but it also fits right in here, too, in this book that doesn't want to think about his motives -- he rambles nonsensically, explaining nothing, gets one trademark phrase, and then is hastily removed so the story doesn't have to think about him anymore.

...................I think that's most of it.

...

Y'all............ I'm not ready for Sent From Above.......... I'm just not.... I'm not emotionally ready...... like..... Sammy has to be in that right..... he’s Susie’s boss and she has that big crush on him..................................... I’m not ready

hello am SO TIRED, painting took so much outta me. i painted my room all by myself and it took about half the day wowie. but it is DONE and now i just need to decorate💪🏼💪🏼 i saw ur post about only sleeping four hours and EXCUSE ME, U BEST BE HAVING MORE SLEEP THAN THAT U NEED IT FOR NUTRIENTS(that makes sense) also where r my manners i just relized i have YET to send in anything about ur mans josuke??? heres a tik tok that i think u will like. i’m a silly billy 100% so—https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJbM9NGV/ i hope u have seen clone high (or at least the memes u kno)

[macklives]

homestuck recap

i hated this so fucking much bc my 2 am bitch-ass didnt want to read a recap thats probably longer than any slowburn out there

anyways here it is

also, uhhH sorry im using this as a end of session discussion bc that shit gets explained in her as well. and im not writing up more recaps of a recap so this is where im done for the day. (by done for the day i mean last nights session, im still doing a liveblog soon. i just wrote this yesterday)

also that this is long

you dont have to read it, theres nothing of importance

ive been coping with humor to get me through it

neato.

have fun with what i suffered through:

why was “beta” the only thing unhighlighted?

like did i miss a page???

OH its the beta version of HS thats why

damn its like 5 pages and thats it

mmh

well youll all be happy to know im clicking every single one of these links again bc i like looking back like ahh i remember that. good times. also in case i forgot some shit existed.

do you think andrew had fun writing this? or was he like “fuck”

thats a lot of fucking package talk. good thing im not confused as of now and remember it pretty clearly. of else, this early on in the recap, id be screwed.

god remember when i did an analysis on each item and what it did

i feel as if i have the technology engrained inside my head right now

cruxite, alchemeter, all that jazz

flashbacks are starting up already

yeah, that was the good part in homestuck where i knew 100% that i probably would continue on this liveblog in its entirety, ngl

that one explosion scene. bc it kept me going.

OH W A IT SHIT

i just realized how the intermission spades probably fucking foreshadowed the whole jack revolts thing and gains the ring, which was also technically JOHNS fault considering he slashed up the doll in the first place

my god, i guess thats the only good aspect of the recap. looking back at things and realizing the missing pieces.

oh that makes sense for the whole “this prototyping had no effect on the enemies, since he was already in the medium” i didnt actually think about that

little did rose know where that would get her right now

oh yeah

there’s still the whole entire lab terminal thing and how mom basically knows the place exists. i guess we’re still venturing onto that and itll come up later when we find out how mom knows SO MUCH about the game.

still think shes some weird spy or secret agent

i kinda love her ngl

anyways, theres literally no reason for skaia to produce a cloning machine. so technically, they only sent the meteors in, right? so who put the cloning machine in if not mom?

oh yeah that impact was nerve wrecking asf

and still at this point in the comic i called dave fuckboy red

huh, how times change

i hated reading that whole paragraph ngl, the frustration just kicked me in the boobs again

yeah nobody else got tornadoes, huh?

OH that makes also much more sense

bc she did prototyped them before she entered the medium.

i gotcha

man one of my favorite edits i made, rose hitting that meteor with a bat

are you

telling me

the exiles structures they arrived on were in the form of the items the kids used to enter the medium?

THE EGG

THAT EXPLAINS “EGG”

of course it was 413 years ago. that was never explained. simply vague “many years in the future....” but i expected no less from this

man serenity is the most wholesome character in hs no doubt

damn thought andy here was really gonna spoil us jade’s planet

okay cool, im glad i now have the layout to the whole “their stations went to the coordinates of the home button” shindig

man i honestly dont know what else to say besides “yeah cool recap” when i already pretty much know what went down? ofc im looking into each link and shit and adding in things when i see fit, but otherwise its just me going “ah good times” yknow

the whole meteor thing kinda makes sense now?

we’re still missing a few pieces of info but we’re getting there, folks

oh yeah that reveal

god jade and dave have it in the shits for parents huh

bro isnt the best and jade has a fucking dog

who lowkey

is doing better than bro

who knew a fucking dog is a better guardian than bro lmfao

dreambot = terminator. im telling you.

sorry im still on that idea and it will never leave unless i have the actual proof in front of me that its not going to become a thing. meaning, ive finished hs and theres still no terminator dreambot or either andrew himself gives me a canon letter with “the robot is not arnold, mackenzie, pls just let it be”

why is the entire game session highlighted

i swear to god if this is like to a second recap or smth of the whole game session i may fucking CRY

okay thank god its just a design of the skaia layout

which is honestly cool

idk why its blurry tho but i can at least see the layout now. which is honestly how i pictured it anyways.

yeah, john did make a huge impact in his friends’ life and i find that so fucking touching

yep. got that. everything loops around. cool.

especially when the trolls come in. god we havent even gotten to that recap portion yet, we havent even gotten to the INTERMISSION

pls can this be the halfway point to the recap

AT LEAST

so they were exiled after the whole jack: ascend thing, right? considering theyre way in the future. man no fucking wonder.

speaking of jack

man that whole dad and jack interaction was gold, ngl

OH THAT EXPLAINS THE RING THEN

and wow, andrew’s really giving us the best female content huh. andrew is the true god of equality and diversity.

also hey, i didnt realize that wow. so PM tricked the queen in showing the parking ticket to be able to take the present from jack. she’s a smart cookie, that one..

she and PM basically snitched on jack and it was the best thing that has happened to me so far

oh yeah okay

but why did AR panic over bec? bc thats something we havent learned yet, right?

anyways

exile town, the only town which should exist. facts. i dont make the rules.

noice

i love PM being queen. like.. thats canon now. shes an actual queen.

yeah that was a fun game and the consorts were cute

fuck yeah the dick head

hate them even more now that i know john was killed because of them

anyways, i wonder what dick move dave’s denizen did? maybe thats why its filled with lava bc the denizen was like “fuck it. make the land red. kill them all”

UH WHAT

WHAT

OH MY GOD HOW DID I JUST FORGET NANNAS LETTER LIKE THAT LMFAO

THEIR TITLES WERE THERE THE WHOLE TIME!

so i still dont know what they mean but i can gather it has something to do with the game giving them abilities. considering dave is the “knight of time” and he can go back in time. whack.

which means john can either control someones breathing or simply wind. and rose is... like that one girl in the winx club who does the sun shit. bc whenever i think of light powers, i think of stella.

and jade is space. witch of space.

nice

i have no idea what that means ngl

okay finally

we’re at the trolls

maybe this recap will end soon

i remember when i thought they were internet bullies

yesss

someone asked if i basically knew the trolls were on a different veil than the kids, so not presently with them, and i know lol. i was making a joke before btw. jsyk. dont think im incompetent to forget these things when sometimes i choose to forget it so i can add in a joke

it be like that, i annoy many

then again, pls dont assume im trying to say im not incompetent bc im also a fucking dumbass and DO forget shit and i have no excuse

imagine being so bored on the meteor, your last resort is speaking to aliens

ngl me if i was ever trapped on a meteor and could potentially do that

nah ik its bc its their only hope at helping with their session or whatever tf CG said to john. but there was BOUND to be a conference meeting between them like “okay guys. humans. that needs to be sorted out” and you just hear CG screaming in the background

i cant wait to meet them honestly bc im growing on all 4 of the ones we’ve seen already. and on top of that, i know what they look like and i know theyre not THAT bad, just a little on the crayy zee side sometimes

but theyre trying

OH MY GOD

I GET IT

FUCK

DOES THAT MEAN THE INTERMISSION IS *APART* OF THE MAIN FUCKING STORY??

AND SPADES IS WV FOR THE TROLLS

GOD D A M N

wow

i didnt expect that. but maybe the signs were there and i was just willingly choosing to ignore it or smth bc “haha couldnt be, right”

flashbacks to how i thought the trolls were humans

anyways, i guess he got his revenge on the kids version of “snowman” ie the black queen. but really

he did not have to do that. he could have cut off the finger and fled. but he decided “nah, lets implode her” so the loml is dead and all i got was a catchy song

i knew they were different types of “bullies” but now i just have to replace bullies with uhh

trolling strategies

anyways, this is cute. i love how they’ve come to be friends through mutual frustration. good part in the comic.

i wonder why it explodes

more importantly

....

terminator time?

this was my favourite sequences of dialogues in the whole entirety of homestuck. that is to say the back and forth thing that the kids went through to become a sort of wingman for the other.

absolutely gold.

all except AT’s rap.

GC was the only smart one with the linear shit

anyways fuck he still has to kill the denizen now but apparently its hard to beat for a sleeping dick head so

that will be fun for the future

john will probably need to kill A LOT of imps to get there

yeah rose is a badass bc she slayed that thing with needles of all things

OH and the white queen was the cursive

damn did AR ever do the whole guide process to a kid yet? maybe he will with dave, idk

oHHH

i fucking SEE

thats why he said DNA

to use it and replace all the life forms in the ocean

fucking neat wow

man that sounded sarcastic but im genuinely impressed bc all i got was bullshit as i read jaspersprites log

so thats the secret. it was “meow” bc that somehow translates to the genetic code she needs then. and that code apparently took fucking years to write as well. sick. whack. oh man.

derse is very pretty, ngl

and wow shit

“dave had already been awake in his tower all along without realizing it” how tf does someone just

do that, awake in both places at once

i didnt even fucking realize that fact as i read that pesterlog wow

ah yes, around the time things got confusing

okay so the capsule makes sense bc at first i didnt know it was a fucking time capsule so i got confused as to how it just apparated the game lmfao

the more you know i guess *twinkle*

i find that a neat concept tho

like the whole whatever you prototype affects the imps and shit

yeah so that whole “he had no advice” basically impacted his future

no shit dave wanted to reset things bc he probably thought he caused some sort of bad butterfly effect and killed his best friend

fuck calsprite thats all im gonna say

i read that first sentence and i think i got an aneurysm

and then everything else just made me sad again

i mean good thing he fucking did amirite?

we got pain at first but now we got cool shit like idk

fucking DAVESPRITE

damn idk how that works

will rose have like two minds now? or will this be some steven universe fusion shit?

“and understood their meaning” course well i fucking didnt so could you pls elaborate, rose?

okay but then what the fuck did he use that was inside the fucking box

bc i thought he used his knife?

im only every going to refer him as that now, thank you andrew

alright okay..

god that was a lot

[elitemeowmix]

*Long post warning*

I wish I could call someone tonight but I can’t. Normally I’d call my mom but this is the one thing I absolutely refuse to talk to her about — I already feel bad enough that I put her through what I did, and I’m not going to make her keep thinking about it, yknow? Like, I can’t imagine how she must have felt (at least she heard it from me first and not from the school? And I don’t even want to know how much my sister knew of the situation) And I can rattle off reasons why individual friends wouldn’t be available but TLDR they’re dealing with their own stuff right now. And I did actually talk to another friend today, but I’m not going to talk for a second time today about essentially the exact same thing, yknow?

What a time to be living in a city where I know absolutely know one, huh? My textbook: “social isolation leads to worse morbidity and mortality with mental illness.” Me, with no social network in this city: yeah that checks out

There’s a part of me that’s like, “Well, it’s your own fault for feeling this way because you shouldn’t have listened to that lecture right before bed.” But yknow what? Screw that, I don’t have a choice here; I have an exam this week and I have to learn the content at some point and I took all. freaking. day. just to motivate myself to eat something and then to study — I needed to watch that lecture now because I have SO much I need to get done tomorrow, thanks to not getting much done today, thanks to the emotional aftermath of this week.

Note to self: reach out to my psych NP and tell her I’m really going to struggle emotionally with this class because if this is just the first week…yikes

It’s not even about talking to someone about this, per se (because what would I even say?!?). it’s more about not being alone, not being trapped in my own brain, not listening to only my thoughts. I’d take a conversation about ANYTHING right now, any kind of distraction.

Me: “I think I’m doing heaps better.” *does anything related to this class* “Huh I guess I’m not as Okay with my personal history as I thought I was”

Immediately after, I was SO open to talking about it, almost over-eager. Now I avoid it literally at all costs. I learned recently that apparently in the year that I’d lived here, I’d never even mentioned KG to my NP?! Like, that was just my dog’s name to her, with no significant backstory. That’s apparently how deeply I’ve started to avoid talking about all of this

Also, screw all the psych professionals in my history who sucked at my care. I knew they sucked before, but now being a Baby Healthcare Professional and taking a class on mental illness has made me really appreciate just how acutely people sucked. Special shout-out to Him, for handling that day so damn badly that he did ALL the things I’ve been told NOT to do in my class. Like, way to handle that as poorly as you possibly could have done. Would I have PTSD had you acted better???? There’s no way to know for sure, but I know damn well that the whole experience would’ve been less traumatic. I was NOT impulsive at the time, we had time to work with, but because of you I became impulsive! Would my memory have haunted you if something had happened? Or would you have forgotten me, like you probably already have? It’s not fair that you probably don’t even remember me or that day, but you are forever seared in my memory

And you’d think that after him, I wouldn’t have trusted a psych professional again, but nope, I just thought he was a random bad egg! Spoiler alert: that was just the start of a long line of suckiness. I lost years of my life because of bad mental health professionals. I know I shouldn’t dwell on “what could have been,” but god, it would’ve been nice not to feel so ridiculously miserable! It would have been nice NOT to deeply hurt someone I cared deeply about! It would have been nice to do well in school! To make friends! To major in a department I didn’t actively hate! To be able to actually remember the past several years! To not have a “SB”! (Which I still have, btw, because I knew my mom was moving and didn’t want her to find it when she packed up, so now it’s actually living with me, although tbh I’m not sure where it is because my room is a mess - tiny perk of being messy? But I STILL can’t bring myself to get rid of it. …but that’s a whole conversation for another day)

“Hopelessness: the belief that tomorrow won’t be any better than today.” That was in my lecture this evening. Sometimes I truly do believe that I’ve overcome that, and then there’s times like tonight where I’m like “it’s been YEARS and this is STILL affecting me so deeply?? DOES it really get better?” And I know that objectively yes, it does get better, but like…it shouldn’t be THIS hard still, right??

God I want to be a jellyfish so badly. No brain, just floating in the ocean. Jellyfish don’t have nights like tonight

[jaeminlore]

enemies to lovers!jonghyun

a/n: for razzle dazzle anon!

i don’t talk about shinee that much but they’re my second bias group they mean the absolute world to me

and this one is for the softest boy in the world i love him so so much

anyway let’s get to the rivalry

wedding planner!jonghyun is known throughout all south korea as the best in the world

everyone wants him to plan their weddings, from idols to comedians to actors to politicians: there isn’t anyone on earth who doesn’t want jonghyun as their wedding planner

he’s just that good like he knows which colors go together he knows which caterers are best he knows the best deejays

there’s nothing he can’t do especially with florist!jinki and cake designer!taemin by his side, not to mention dress designer!kibum and mixologist!minho always ready to help for a discounted price

which the clientele obviously don’t know about

the boys work for other wedding designers too, as well as different events that their job calls for

so most of them are in the know when it comes to who is who in the event planning business esp kibum

actually it’s just kibum

you’re a wedding planner from your own country, but because of your amazing skills you’ve been invited to korea to help plan a wedding for this super famous actress who is getting married

and jonghyun thought he was a shoo in for that job so he’s a bit ??? when the news comes out that the “best wedding planner in the world” had been booked

because tbh he thought that was him

taemin in the bg: no no ur just the most famous in korea,,, there’s a difference

anyway jonghyun is mad bc you’ve essentially stomped onto his turf and are now taking his very rich clientele like it’s not going to slide

so he finds your number and calls you up

“y/n’s wedding event service, what can i help you with?”

and jonghyun is like cut the speil lady i know you’re out for my title

nd you’re just what title? who are you??

this did offend jonghyun that you somehow didn’t know his voice over the phone so he dramatically replies “this is jonghyun obv,,, the best wedding planner in the world”

but you must not notice the hostility in his voice bc you reply, “dude i love you! you’re like my hero when it comes to weddings,,, all my weddings are inspired by you”

jonghyun kind of wants to be flattered bc no one has ever told him smth like that before and also your words made his heart race with joy but he’s going to keep his cool and still play the “i hate you” card

“so it wasn’t enough to steal my ideas, now you have to steal my clients?”

nd you’re like wtf is wrong w you dude it’s just a wedding and you think about being civil with him since you look up to him but now you want to bite back with the same venom he shot at you

“maybe if you’d make your rates a bit more affordable, people would have the money to choose you over me”

“my prices are reasonable!”

“maybe to politicians and millionaires?? but people with basic income do not want to spend the amount of money you charge to have a wedding... esp if they’re trying to save money”

jonghyun feels INSULTED and ASHAMED bc he thought his prices were pretty good

“my prices are some of the lowest rates in south korea”

“well it looks like you’ve got a bunch of greedy wedding planners then bc you charge almost double what i charge in my country,,, that’s why they asked for me instead.”

jonghyun isn’t sure he can change his prices like the last thing he wants to do is make his clients broke but he also doesn’t want people to think he’s cheap

he almost wants to ask you how you do it: stay afloat at low prices and still able to pay rent

but he’s still angry and annoyed w you so he resists and hangs up on you, not feeling up to talking to you

so after that you sort hate jonghyun too like why did he have to be so rude to you??

but fast forward to a few days before the wedding and your florist cancelled???? and you have no idea what to do bc the whole theme of this wedding was floral paradise and you can’t have floral paradise without the floral

and you have no idea what you’re doing like you can’t find another florist this late in the game that will agree to give you a ton of flowers on short notice

they’d have to work overtime and it’d be such a chore and you feel at such a loss

your first overseas wedding and you were so excited bc your work would finally be in the news and more people might ask for you by name

all that work down the drain bc a florist who quit for unknown reason

you feel like crying and for some reason you pick up your phone and call jonghyun

yeah you sort of hate him but he’s also a fellow wedding planner and he’s the closest one you can go to right now who probably has advice

and it’s late when you call so his voice is super groggy and low “hello?”

you’re shaking like your anxiety is to the max and “jonghyun? it’s y/n and —”

“are you crying?” his voice is v soft and sweet like suddenly he doesn’t sound so mean

“it’s just that my florist cancelled on me and the wedding is in two days! how am i supposed to find a florist who will give me a whole truck load of flowers in two days?? the theme is based around flowers and if i fail this one no one is ever going to trust me again i’ll be known as a failure and an untrustworthy planner”

and jonghyun just kind of shushes you like “look you’re really tired and worried, but you need sleep okay? get some rest and meet me at the park on maple at around eight o'clock”

he doesn’t really give you time to agree but for some reason his words calm you, and you think jonghyun might actually help you

the next morning you grab all your planning stuff and head over to the park, hoping that jonghyun didn’t send you on a wild goose hunt just for fun.

when you finally spot him, he’s sitting around with four other guys and like five or six dogs running around and chasing each other

when you see jonghyun you lowkey gasp like wow he’s v handsome irl too bad he’s so rude to me

but then he smiles and walks up to you, looking sort of nervous “hey, um, these are my friends. jinki here is a florist and if you want, we can all pitch in and get the decorations ready for the wedding using the flowers he has”

you genuinely don’t know what to say like you sort of thought jonghyun was just going to make a laughing stock of you but he hasn’t

“aren’t you going to tell me that you’re a better planner than me?”

jonghyun shrugs “i mean, i am, but as a planner i know that it’s important that every wedding goes off without a hitch. i will push away my feelings for the good of the wedding”

it’s not the apology you wanted but you have more important things to worry abt so you’re like great!!! let’s go!!!

and turns out jinki is super sweet and owns this really small flower shop and it’s filled with a bunch of pretty arrangements and stuff

and he was more than ready to give you a helping hand

you gave him all the blueprints and drawings you had ready and jinki was like !!!! i can do this !!!!

and he shows you all of the flowers he has and all the different ways he can arrange them

so you two plan centerpeices and aisle markers and stuff

once you’re satisfied you show it to the other boys and everyone gets to work replicating all the pieces

and you’ve also got to make your own banners like you have to find siLK

and kibum is like dndnsnnsks well i have a ton in my office i’ve got eggshell and pearl and cream and lavender and rose and —

jonghyun cuts him off like we’re on a schedule buddy!!!

so jonghyun decides to take you to kibum’s house since he needs to drop all the puppers off anyways

they’re a bit of a distraction at the flower shop since taemin and kibum can’t seem to leave them alone

and when you arrive you see the pearl colored silk and immediately know it’ll go with the flowers

so you grab it and drape it across the edges of kibum’s desk “so imagine this is the aisle and it dips between each pew with a lil bouquet matching the bride is holding it up”

and as you’re talking you get this huge smile on your face and jonghyun begins to feel bad for being so rude to you over the phone bc

rlly you’re just like him: someone who wants to make others happy

and you both only have the bride and groom’s best interests at heart

it shouldn’t matter who is planning the wedding as long as the couple is happy

but jonghyun keeps this all to himself like he has some pride yknow

he helps you cut the silk and fold it neatly so that it doesn’t get messed up on the way back

and when you guys arrive everyone is amazed bc the colors look rlly beautiful together like all the boys are lowkey getting emo

esp jonghyun he always gets really emotional when he helps w a wedding bc he kind of dreams of his own and he can’t wait for it to be perfect and beautiful and amazing

most importantly he can’t wait to have someone by his side who makes him forget the beauty of flower arrangements and dresses and cakes

anyway so it takes well into the night before all the arrangements are finished

and the boys are already planning on helping you place them in the church and reception hall the next day bc you’re on a time punch and this was all the florists’ job

so they come over and everyone gets started on a different section of the church

jinki tells you and jonghyun to go to the reception hall and set up the centerpieces and everything

jinki lowkey ships the two of you okay

at the reception hall you both just set up the flowers and hope everything will be done before the rehearsal dinner that night, or else you’ll have to tell the bride that she lost her florist

you’re hoping she’ll never find out abt your screw up

when you guys are done you just sit and breathe bc …. finally ….. it’s over and you can rest

jonghyun is sort of close to you like his arm keeps brushing against your shoulder and you catch him more than once stealing glances at you

“thank you,” you say, bc you can’t really put into words how much his help means to you

he nods, “yeah, i guess when the couple books a sucky wedding planner, a mistake like this is expected”

you think he’s being legit and turn your head, almost sad that he still hates you

but he’s smiling at you, a teasing glint in his eye

you push him like dude that wasn’t cool i’m still on edge

but jonghyun keeps talking like “yknow, since i saved the day, it’s rlly only fair that you take me to the wedding as your plus one. that way i can make sure you don’t screw anything else up”

you glance at him again, and notice his ears have turned a bit red “you mean as a date? are you asking me to ask you on a date?”

“no,” he scoffs, “i’m telling you that you should repay me by making me your plus one”

“but essentially you want to date me”

“no i don’t,” he says, but he’s smiling and you find yourself unable to keep your own grin back 

“fine then. jonghyun, do you want to be my plus one to the wedding? i’d really love it if you were my date.”

jonghyun is lowkey super happy that you’ve agreed and reaches for your hand like “well if you insist”

it’s all kind of history from there

let’s just say you’ll have to be planning another wedding soon

;)

teenage rebellion

Pearl gets compulsed by Anthony Coleman and feels the urge to hurt.

tw: blood, knife, stabbing, suicidal ideation

PEARL: Pearl was enjoying herself. With the excuse of SSIC she was able to flit around people, interviewing the ones she recognized. Greg was indeed one she recognized, due to the fact that he was on the board. And Among Us (great way to meet people, honestly). So she smiled, reached out her hand for a handshake, and maybe she could ask some questions while getting to better know a Board member when -- Something jolted. Her mind scrambled. All of the sudden she wanted to hurt. The area around them had exploded with noise and she stared at this Greg. Too tall, she assessed looking at the extra foot he had on her. She could take down tall guys if they were lean, but this -- she didn't just want to take him down. She wanted to hurt him. So Pearl widened her eyes as the mayhem around them exploded. She grabbed Greg's wrist, tugging him away from the mess, towards where she decided there would be good weapons. "Wha-what's going on?? We have to get out of here!"

GREG: There was always a flurry of thoughts going through Greg's brain at any given moment. So for that split second when negativity flooded through him, a near quiet voice seemingly whispering within his mind before it disappeared, Greg didn't even think twice. His mind was always racing. There were always voices in his head, and that flicker was no different. What he did notice though? The shatter of glass behind him, blue hues shifting as he turned with furrowed brows and noticed a very palpable shift within the room. The way the tensions seemed to raise immediately and the flow of conversation shifted on the drop of a pin. He watched a punch get thrown, a woman hurling insults, a broken window - all before a pressure wrapped around his wrist and Gregory was spinning on his heel to follow behind Pearl with a nervous glance back over his shoulder. What the fuck was happening? "I--.. I don't know." He said quickly, turning back to Pearl and trying to keep his tone steady despite the panic rising in his throat. "We-- We'll be fine just keep going. Maybe -.. maybe someone just started a fight? Or---I-.. I dunno, it's okay."

PEARL: Pearl tried to keep her expression scared and nervous. She could cry on command, but that might be overkill at the moment. Instead, she breathed heavy, whipping her head around. There were some other people filtering out of the room -- people running away or fights that had exploded to the hallway. "A fight at town hall? I-I didn't see who started it." She wished she had looked at the floorplan, but she made her guess and opened a door. Score. "S-should we hide in here?" Pearl asked, already walking in.

GREG: In theory - Greg probably should have stayed in the other room. Maybe he could have stopped whatever fight was breaking out? Though... why the hell would they listen to him anyways right? So instead he followed Pearl easily, keeping an eye behind them as the sound of chaos only seemed to be getting...louder. Concern and confusion crept into his expression before Gregory turned back, unable to pause to assess his acquaintance's question before she was pulling him inside the offshoot room with her. "uh--.. I mean.. probably for the best right?" He mumbled, pulling the door closed behind them and swallowing nervously before he turned his gaze back to the room. "...It's..not the weirdest thing that would happen in Swynlake right? Tensions are...hgih. It's- I mean it's probably nothing but.. -We'll...we'll just stay in here until someone handles it." A pause and a nod to assure himself, or her, he wasn't sure. "Shouldn't take long.." In the meantime, he took a few more steps into the room, just enough so that he didn't pull away completely from the woman's grip in case she wanted comfort in some form.

PEARL: "I-" she hesitated on purpose, nervously touching her hair. "I'm new to Swynlake." she winced. "I don't know much about what happens here besides what I've been told and random texts." He was kind of annoying her. The whole act was annoying her. Wasn't he supposed to be a Board member or something? Pearl rushed inside, letting go of his wrist now that she had managed to get him inside. "D=does this kind of thing happen a lot?" she whimpered a bit. Her hands started opening the drawers. There were various utensils, one of them opened to the knife drawer. She internally smiled.

GREG: Greg's brows raised a bit when she said she was new. Sure - he probably should have realized that given the fact he didn't really know her as well as he mightve if she wasn't. He was a native, after all. He tended to know everyone even if they didn't know him. Poor girl probably had no idea what she was in for. "Uh-yeah Swynlake has a lot of.... Weird occurences." He started, letting her slop away from him as he sighed softly and drug a hand through his newly pink hair. "It's always something, yknow?" Greg continued, slipping his gaze up to her for a moment before he turned his back, digging into his pocket for his phone and beginning to tap out a message to his mother - concerned for her safety. "Anyways it's -... I mean we gave the texts but... We gave weird shared dreams and magical things that happen too so -.... It's never out of the ordinary for things to just... do this I.... I guess."

PEARL: Some distant part of her got alerted by what Greg was sharing. There was something going on here, something magick, someone messing with things. Maybe normally Pearl would try to go and find out, to think about what was going on and why people were weird. But right now, Pearl didn't give a fuck. Dreams. Whatever! Instead, her hand curled around a knife. Looking up, she noticed him looking down at his phone, not even paying attention to her. That ticked her off too, even if it did give the perfect opportunity. "Th-that's crazy. So you guys are basically used to this." she murmured. Then, swiftly she made her way over to Greg. Pushing his chest (normally it would be shoulder but you know, #shortpeoplethingz), she used her legs to sweep him off his feet. Then her other hand, the one holding the knife, went down.

GREG: Fingers tapped across the screen, sending a quick message asking where his mother was and if she knew what was going on. The objective took his attention away from his acquaintance, though he didn't find that to be a problem. She was likely just idly toying with things since there was nothing else to do anyways. "Oh yeah... We're kind of used t—" His words cut off as he turned back to glance at the woman - finding her much closer than he expected before the rough shove pressed him off balance. Too quickly he tried to right himself, bending into her shove as his eyes narrowed towards her, only to feel the sudden sweep of his legs being taken out from under him before he could find his center of balance again. Easily the air was knocked from his lungs as he was knocked to the ground, phone clattering across the tiled floor as his elbows slammed down trying to catch himself - a pained grunt slipping from his lips almost immediately. Gaze immediately snapped back up to Pearl - hurt and confusion evident behind his gaze before it zeroed in on the glint of light reflecting off the object coming towards him. Oh no There was no stopping the noise that slipped from him as the blade easily tore through fabric and flesh - driving into his lower abdomen as Greg briefly wondered if he was stuck in a Swynlake nightmare. The pained scream that tore from his lips couldn't have been real, after all.... Right? "S-Stop!" He sobbed almost immediately after he managed to find his voice - his hand snapping out to hold her wrist, either to stop her from pulling back again or just out of pure instinct, was unclear. Why was she doing this? What did he do? Why?" P-... Pl-.. please"

PEARL: This was much better. She could feel the layers she always hid herself with. The soft smiles, the fake compliments. She was a monster, abandoned by her parents. Her mouth did twitch down at his scream -- he had been nice to her before, if she recalled correctly -- but well, that was his fault for trusting someone awful as her! Pearl twisted one hand away from him. "Hey don't do that." She kept her other hand on her knife, which was still in him. There was blood now. She stared at it dimly. Pearl had never seen blood like this before. It was redder than she would've expected. She has caused this, caused this liquid to stream out innocently. Pearl looked at Greg's face. She smiled cheerfully. The damage had already been done. Greg would realize how much of a monster she was, and he would tell the Board and word would get around and her dads would hear how quickly people realized what a screw up she was. Despite knowing this, or maybe because she knew this, she was in a good mood. "Do you want me to do it again?"

GREG: Wake up. It burned. That was about the first coherent thought that crossed his mind. It felt like the blade was on fire, it burned and his entire body just felt hot. the second thought was it hurt. Though maybe not as much as he thought it did, he just... His mind knew it hurt. It should hurt. Perhaps he was even projecting hurt, but regardless - every breath he took dragged with it a sharp prick of discomfort. Gregory was terrified to move, and a quiet whimper was his only response to his hand being twisted away from the foreign object embedded inside his body. Please fucking wake up "N-..No!_ He sobbed, though the word acted more as a verbal exclamation more than any coherent thought, his fear only multiplying as panic clawed its way into his mind. His gaze rapidly flickered to the phone, too far to reach even if he wanted to risk moving. Defenseless. Without even a single person knowing where he was.... God.. Was-... Was he going to die here? The thought spurred another desperate shift, twisting his hand back against hers, fighting again through the fear and pain to try and get her hand away from the knife. "P-... Pl-please ...st-stop... Ple- please P-..pearl. s-stop."

PEARL: Were there really only two types of people in the world. The ones who were mean, who wanted power. And those that were... pathetic. It slipped out too. "You're kind of pathetic, aren't you?" She understood. She had those moments of terror, when it was dark out and she was by herself. Or when it was dark inside and there were too many people. If she had a choice, Pearl would always choose being strong. Her mind focused again on the task in front of her. To hurt. He was basically squirming underneath her. She glanced at the phone along with him, but it was far away. Not a threat. The floors were tidy as well, the only sign that someone had distributed it were the open drawers. And the blood. He was fighting at least, a bit. Trying to grab her hand and, although she went to the gym, she was pretty sure he would beat her in strength regardless. "Okay okay Greg, it's okay." she lifted her hand from him, watching the blood stain his shirt. She wrinkled her nose -- her skirt had blood on it now.  It was one of her favorites too. Pearl inched the knife away from him slightly, watching him warily. She swung the knife down again. Another grin. "Oops."

GREG: Pathetic. The word somehow still stood out amidst the fog of pain and panic - and even that was like another blow to the gut with the knife. Pathetic. As if Gregory Eeyore had ever been anything more than pathetic in his lifetime. He knew it was the way people thought of him. People like Toulouse... Even Hades probably thought it too. They were right too. If it wasn't true he wouldn't be in this situation. Wouldn't be clawing desperately to a strangers hand for some attempt to save his own pathetic worthless life. Maybe it was better this way. A shaky breath fell from parted lips when Pearl nearly cooed calmy at him, his head unconsciously nodding with her words as an attempt to comfort himself. It's okay. Though a gasp quickly tore from his throat instead as the knife slid up and out of his skin, pulling a tension that felt like a thousand needles drawing his skin together. The burn only amplifying as equally hot tears rolled off his cheek and onto the floor. The second scream was louder than the first - more painful than the first. The blade drove through his skin again and Greg was certain now he was going to die. The terror kicked every other thought from his brain as he squirmed immediately, the movement only radiating a pain he'd never felt in his life. Desperately his hands reached out again, looking for purchase on anything he could reach - anything he could do to stop the knife from digging deeper and deeper into his side - completely unaware of the panicked sobs that continued to fall from his lips.

PEARL: Greg was so weak. Pearl despised him, at this moment. She wanted him to fight so she could reign victorious over someone strong. Not these panicked flutters of hand movements. Weak people didn't survive in this kind of world. It's why she had to be strong. She had to fight and hurt people in order to protect herself. Greg deserved this for being weak. Blood had continued to gather on the ground, getting her FILA shoes dirty. She scoffed, before standing up. She left the knife still in. Easily, Pearl picked up the phone that Greg had dropped. There was a crack but the screen was still on to reveal the frantic messages from someone that was surely Greg's mom. Her hands tightened (Pearl would never know her mother) but her eyes remained cold. She typed out a reply, reassuring the other person that he was safe, just that he had to escape from the mayhem momentarily. She left the phone on the counter, high and far enough that he wouldn't be able to reach it easily. There. Walking back to Greg, Pearl didn't go too close. But she smiled before waving her hand. "It was nice meeting you, Mr Board Member sir. Thanks for helping me out!" Then she walked out, closing the door behind her.

--------

PEARL: Pearl walked out of the room, looking around her sharply. There was smoke coming out of the main room, although there were still people yelling in there. Idiots. At the people looking at her though, she casually hid the knife from them -- not obviously but just so that people couldn't see it right away. It wouldn't do for her to lose that element of surprise. She surveyed the people around her when that rush of hurt people came on her again. Instantly, she picked a familiar face and walked up to her quickly, putting on that expression of anxiety and nervous, stumbling just for the sake of it. "M-mei! Is that you?"

MEI: Honestly, Mei didn't know how this had happened. She'd...been in the bathroom, when it had all started. She'd heard the screaming and ran to see what was going on--and found that the entire ballroom had erupted in chaos. Of course, being Mei, instead of running away, she'd dived into the fray, searching for her sisters or Lock or Barrel or any of her friends. All who were here. She had seen people punching each other, stealing, breaking things. There were people with knives. The air was thick with smoke and reagents of confusion and anger, bursting red and yellow like fireworks. It was overwhelming. She didn't know how long it had been. Long enough that her voice had gone hoarse for crying out for Lock and Ting-Ting and Su--she had stopped trying. Which meant she was so thankful to see a friendly face. "Pearl! Oh my gosh! Are you alright?" She grabbed onto her newest friend's hand--not noticing that the other one was occupied...

PEARL: Pearl blinked a bit, when Mei grabbed her. Ah yes, physical touch. For a second, she was just going to stab Mei right here. It was her fault that she was so callous in grabbing the hand of the first person she saw. Just that--there were still a lot of people. Would someone jump in? Maybe if it was a big man you would pretend that you were occupied with the other obstacles that existed, but if it was just a small girl-- yeah she would have to execute this similarly to Greg. This town probably was pretty good about avoiding bystander effect. "Omg yeah I am. How have you been doing??" her eyes scrunched up, looking like she was on the verge of tears. Pearl clasped Mei's hand, starting to walk somewhere. Maybe to a forgotten hallway. "This is craziness. I-I was just in the town hall when people started to punch each other and..." she shook her head. "I'm glad you're safe though."

MEI: Mei didn't hesitate to follow Pearl. She walked with a purpose, like she knew a place where they could go that would be safe. Not that--Mei exactly wanted to be safe, but she was exhausted. Just running around trying to find her family had been terrifying enough. Maybe she could...get a second wind, start calling her sisters and boyfriend again, see if any of them would pick up. "I've been looking for my sisters or my boyfriend o-or anyone, really. It's so chaotic! I can't find, anyone." She blinked tears away too but squeezed Pearl's hand. "It'll be alright, though. This--happens sometimes. Don't worry."

PEARL: A distant part of Pearl, so distant that she didn't even realize she thought it, thought about her dads. They didn't go out to the mixer today, since they knew that Pearl was doing recaps and they were very proud of that ie would ask her what the main points were. Maybe they had walked outside at all the commotion, or were worrie-- Pearl had a job to do. "Y-yeah. We found each other. They should be fine." She guided them to a hallway, which was relatively empty compared to the rest of the building. It almost seemed too pristine, untouched by the other fights happening. "Do-does this happen a lot? Fights and fire and..." she trailed off. She paused, still holding Mei's hand. The other hand still gripping the knife.

MEI: "Oh, good." Mei was jealous that Pearl had found her people. Though...if that was the case, what was she doing out here? Was she trying to help others? Mei hadn't known Pearl very long but...that didn't exactly seem like her. Not that Mei blamed her. No one would go back out there in their right mind. It was enough dissonance to make her blink, though. "Uh, I mean, not super of--" Then, she looked down, saw the glint of the knife. "--ten...Pearl, what are you doing with that?" Had she picked it up to protect herself? Was--was that blood?

PEARL: As soon as Mei glanced at the knife, Pearl knew that time was up. There was no energy to exert on words, no need for polite small talk, all that mattered were actions. That was a problem with people sometimes honestly. There were so many sentences, so many words that came out, but they were just empty air. False pleasantries spurred by societal structure or whatever. It was time to show something that could be identified as being truthful. Luckily, they were still holding hands (like honestly though, Mei really was asking for it) so Pearl gripped her hand and swung it -- using the momentum to slam Mei into the nearby wall. The other hand followed fast, aiming straight for Mei's body.

MEI: It happened fast after that. Mei had just one moment of realizing what was happening as Pearl's face twisted and her hand turned into a claw on Mei's wrist, trapping her. She tried to tug away, but Pearl had the strength of whatever had possessed her and surprise on her side. She yelped as Pearl slammed her against the wall. Her head knocked back against it, causing stars to dance behind her eyes. And then, there was a pain in her side that felt-- Well, like she'd been stabbed. Mei cried out as the blade sliced easily right into her side. Her legs buckled slightly, only held up by Pearl's body against hers. Her other hand went to Pearl's shoulder on instinct, trying to push her away. "Pearl--" she gasped, "what--"

PEARL: There was a thrill when the blade made contact with skin. The visual effect she could see of a life she had affected. She mattered in this world, she was making a mark! Pearl ignored the hand on her shoulder, instead slowly letting Mei down on the ground. At the same time, the knife sunk in deeper into her. Mei's outfit was pretty, Pearl dimly noticed. Pearl did enjoy Mei's style, even if it was a bit too 'young' for her. It would be difficult to wash out the blood that was slowly seeping into it. Pearl mock pouted. "I thought you wanted to know what I was doing with the knife? I was just showing you." The pout turned into a smirk.

MEI: The pain radiating from her side was hot and sharp. Unlike anything she'd ever felt before. Her breaths came in pants because every one hurt, she could feel the knife. She already was starting to feel a bit faint--mostly from the shock than anything. As she slid down the wall, she feebly kicked at Pearl's shin, trying to do a bit of damage. She was a dancer, after all. She had some strength in a kick. "This--this--isn't you," Mei gasped as she tasted either blood or bile in the back of her throat and blinked blearily up at Pearl.

PEARL: Due to the fact that Pearl had worn a skirt, and because she was enjoying the last good bit of fall weather while she had it, had also elected to wear no tights. Mei's shoe hit bare skin. It didn't hurt her, it wasn't like a knife stab after all, but it was still mildly annoying. That plus Mei's comment and she scoffed despite herself. "Mei, I know that sometimes you lack basic social awareness, but you don't know the first thing about me." With that, Pearl kept her one hand securely on Mei's shoulder to keep her in place, while her other hand lifted the knife from Mei, only to stab her once again.

MEI: Alright, so--the second stab definitely hurt worse than the first. She felt that one sink into her stomach as if she were a doll being torn open. For a moment, she just stared down dumbly at her torn blouse and the bright blood now covering her side and chest. Of course, Mei had seen plenty of blood before. She was a girl, after all. And, she'd helped deliver plenty of babies (though, ironically, there wasn't actually that much blood when someone gave birth.) This, though, this was a lot of blood--and the more that pulsed out of her, the colder she felt. There wasn't even fear, really, just confusion and this heavy, exhausted feeling. She reached a clumsy hand up to try to push Pearl off again. "S-stop," she coughed, a bit of blood dribbling out of her mouth. That--probably wasn't good, she thought vaguely.

LOCK: After sending Phineas on his way, Lock had gone back in to look in Town Hall. No one was answering their phones. He still wasn’t the best at tracking and the night full of smoke and blood definitely made it a lot harder to single someone out. But he hadn’t looked through all of Town Hall so maybe... The metallic smell was strong in the air, and he’d even stepped into a pool of it leaking out from under a table. A problem for someone else. He looked around, fearful and angry faces everywhere. And then a particular smell hit him. A lot harder than it normally would, but his body moved on its own. He darted in the direction, towards a hallway, and - Blood. There was so much of Mei’s blood on her clothes, the floor, even the wall as this small girl stood over her. Even in the dim light, he could see it. With his vampire speed, he ran over, grabbed the little girl by the hair, and with more force than necessary ripped her back from his girlfriend and moved himself between them. He saw the bloody knife in her hand. It was all he needed to know. “I’m going to enjoy this,” He snarled, his other hand going to her neck.

PEARL: Pearl didn't even see it coming. One second she was on the floor kneeling over Mei, the other her hair was hurting like fire and she was standing. She snarled, literally snarled. A women's hair, or hair in general, was sacred to them. In any fight with self-respecting people, no one touched the hair. This was breaking some sort of ancient human contract. It was also maddeningly because well, she was short and she couldn't pay him back by also grabbing his hair. So Pearl would pay him back some other way. One of her hands gripped her hair too, closer to her scalp, trying to yank it from his grasp. She ducked his other hand, with a speed that was spurred by the voice in her head and the adrenaline in her body rather than something that she would be normally capable of doing. Then once they were at a close distance, Pearl kicked as fast as she could. Yes, Pearl was aiming towards his crotch area.

MEI: Mei wasn't even thinking about dying. Maybe she should be. That was very clearly what was happening. She wasn't, though. Her brain felt too sluggish to really wrap her mind around much of anything: Pearl, stabbing her. The fact that they were alone... She was trying to think of something to do instead. Some way to get out of this. There had to be something. Mei wasn't going to go down in stupid Town Hall of all places. And not before she had helped Lock undo his vampirism and not before Su graduated high school and not before Ting-Ting found true love and got married... Struggling to sit up more so that she could fight back, Mei almost passed out, her head lulling forwards-- But, then, Pearl's presence was gone from in front of her and she heard-- Was that Lock's voice? Blearily, Mei blinked, looking up to see Lock with a look on his face that she'd never seen before. It was dark and angry and--she knew what he was thinking. "Lock," she said, but it just made her cough again, more blood dribbling out of her mouth as she clutched at her stomach and her side. "Don't."

LOCK: The little bitch had the audacity to kick him. Of all things. Lock grunted, almost buckling and even releasing her hair, but kept a firm grip on her tiny neck. He was going to snap it one way or - He stopped at the raspy voice behind him. Mei. Dying. If he had breath, if he had a heart - He moved fast. Shoving the girl back against the opposite wall and ducking down beside Mei as he bit into his wrist. "Hang on. You're going to be okay," He said quickly, holding his bloody wrist up to her mouth before looking back at the girl. "Run and hope I don't find you if you know what's best for you."

PEARL: In normal circumstances -- well in normal circumstances Pearl did not stab people just for catching her eye. But in more normal circumstances, an interaction with someone clearly magick and stronger than her would lead her to instantly dip. She did have an adventurous spirit, but she also had a strong survival spirit. Right now though, that survival spirit was muffled. Pearl gasped as she hit the wall, but instantly scrambled up. The knife in her hand almost seemed to burn with anticipation. There was some merit in having gripped it firmly even as this Lock threw her away from Mei. Now, she ran back towards Lock and Mei, trying to cut anything she could get close enough to maim.

MEI: Mei tried to sit up, but she was slowly losing the strength. It was more terrifying than the rest, considering she was a dancer and she was used to complete control. She was used to her body obeying her. And it just—wouldn’t. Her hand only lifted feebly when Lock drew close enough, reaching to catch her fingers on the lapel of his leather jacket. Her head almost tilted forward, but she noticed movement and shoved weakly at Lock’s shoulder. "Look out!" she rasped.

LOCK: "Shit!" Lock jerked back from Mei, turning to look behind him as hurried steps rushed forward. That girl with the knife was coming for more. And Mei didn't want him to kill her. It would have been so much easier. He moved, trying to cover Mei more from the knife and it went right through his forearm. Blood splattered from the wound, soaking into his clothes immediately and he gritted his teeth at the pain. "You little bitch!" He snarled, and turned to punch her in the gut with his other arm.

PEARL: Pearl was glad to see the blood that came from his arm -- he was such a jerk -- but it was only a momentarily positive when he actually managed to fight back, a punch swinging at her too fast to react. The punch was also pretty damn strong. Not like in her self defense classes where they always wore padded outfits. Even there, she knew her soft and small features made it so they couldn't exactly hit her as hard as they might to other people. This dude didn't seem to care about anything like that though. With the punch, she actually physically flew back a bit. Not like, a crazy amount but still enough that Pearl realized that Lock meant business. It was also at that moment when she noticed a person pass the hallway. She narrowed her eyes, calculating. Pearl had already hurt these two people, she should try and increase that number. Mass chaos, mass damage. "See you later Mei." she said coldly before scurrying away.

Made a new friend: I’d like to say so 

Fallen Out of Love: no

Laughed Until You Cried: all the time like (almost) errday

Met Someone Who Changed You: no, not really, but people I have always had I’ve come to some realizations about leading to changes in myself, example, I drink sometimes now

Found Out Who your true friends are: mhm, I always constantly play it safe in this department because of my past

Found out someone was talking about me: honey, listen, people been talking about you since you came into this world and they gon’ talk about you after you out of it. (at least you're on their mind) 

GENERAL:

Have you ever talked to a person named Tom?: not to my recollection, but yes in my dreams, Tom Hiddleston is a amazing man 

What’s getting on your nerves right now: nothing really at this moment, i guess being a female has terrible timing 

Blood type: blood? red? 

Nickname: Nerd, Short Person, BabyGirl, Jess, Jessie, Jessie Jess, Angel, there are so many 

Relationship Status: Happy 

Zodiac Sign: Cancer (June 25)

Pronouns: She, her, I am a cis girl lol but I will proudly respond to Dude, Bro, Bruh, Broski

Favorite Show: Obviously Supernatural is number 1, top 3 are Supernatural, Sherlock, and probably Penny Dreadful (but I have many favorites)

College: Not yet, I took a placement test and such but I am trying to get things straight first. Fingers crossed, within the next year or so I can start. I took some CP/ college class in high-school, there was one, Physcology, where  the professor actually came and taught us and I did well in that also I think I made like a high Cor a B but with the history class they gave us a book, popped us in front of computers. I tried, I really did, but I also did something there that I never did in school before, I tried and couldn’t learn anything (that is when the computers actually worked) and it was just boring so I got fed up basically said fuck this shit and failed on purpose. My education currently is K4-graduating from high school with a diploma. I actually love learning so please don’t misunderstand, I hated school, but I still tried my best and did pretty well and never flunked a grade level or anything, I was also that person everyone hated for reminding teachers of homework when they forgot it because I was the one that, not exaggerating, had mental breakdowns doing it. In highschool there is/was a notorious teacher that everyone hated, literally, someone keyed his truck, but, he saw how hard I worked and such and he actually became like my best friend and I may have been a teacher’s pet but he and my other math teacher my senior year were my best friends. Okay long unnecessary rambling sorry 

Hair Color: brunette, naturally, will eventually be black I know for certain. However, I colored it black once years ago, and in highschool I bleached my bangs so they were blonde, about two years ago but longer I put blue where the blonde was and that faded to teal, then i put red streaks throughout my hair when that was gone. Its been natural for a long time 

Do you have a crush on someone: yes. celebrities, obviously, but there is one man on campus i sware i cant take my eyes off of lol. My babe,marie, and I have a whole private joke thing about it. He is known as Superman, you had to be there

What do you like about yourself: this one is really hard, honestly. It varies but I guess....I mean, my sweatshirt I am wearing now? that count? Oh! I can drink and not become my big sister, despite having to convince myself of that. It is complicated and my eyes too lol 

FIRSTS:

First Surgery: it was getting my tonsils taken out when i was like maybe 5 or 6

First Piercing: ears, although i was never really able to wear earrings because of a reaction but they are closed now. I’m really thinking about getting my belly button pierced

First Sport You joined: there was the time when I was little and wrestling my dad, but that career ended when I kicked his nose/mouth and they swole, and the time I played football as a baby at my moms old family church but I bit my evil cousin? do those count?

First vacation: I don’t know if I ever had a vacation but I know my first time leaving home for a trip we went to Virginia, then Pittsburgh PA, then Niagra Falls NY

First Pair of Sneakers: I am willing to bet were hand me downs or from dollar general or a thrift store

Right Now: 

Eating: Nothing at this second

Drinking: Nothing at this second but later Jack & Coke/soda  and going to taste green apple Crown Royal with sprite,supposedly tastes like Jolly ranchers 

I’m about to: respond to @browneyedhunter, shes been waiting while I typed all of this and hopefully tonight......uh giggidy 

Listening to: keys typing and Jimmy’s snoring behind me 

Want Kids: in the future, someday, yes, very much 

Get Married: maybe, I’ll see if life let’s me but people say Jimmy and I are married. By people I mean my 62 yr old parents and his grandad, and his mom 

Career: I really want one someday, but, we have talked, and we would both be alright with being a SAHM too. Right now, I don’t feel like I am doing my part despite what everyone says; but as long as I feel like I am doing that, I am good

SO TIREED!!! SHOULDERS HUUURURRTT 

Lips or Eyes: who’s?

Hugs or kisses: again, who are we talking about?

Shorter or tall: I am shorter than everyone, @emoryhemsworth knows what I mean since we are both 4′9

Older or Younger: I have a thing for older guys

Romantic or Spontaneous: both

Sensitive or loud: those things don’t always necessarily correlate 

Hookup or Relationship: Relationship. Unless it is another girl’ then I couldn’t do a relationship unless it was Poly

Troublemaker or Hesitant: hesitant af 

Have You Ever:  

Kissed a stranger: no, that is how disease happens. Unless...I guess Jimmy was technically a stranger when I met him and we kissed 

Drank hard liquor: the hardest thing I have found I actually like is whiskey or Irish Trashcan 

Lost Contacts/ glasses: nope

Sex on first date: believe it or not i have only ever done it with one person

Broken someone’s heart: I think I broke Faith’s heart when I told her true things about disney,childhood movies, fairytales etc 

Been arrested: no, my parents have though XD

turned someone down: nope

Fallen for a friend: Yup, wish her well but she co go screw herself or that sweet soulles-

DO YOU BELIEVE: 

In yourself: most of the time, no

Miracles: yes, because of I have lived through some, many of them

JL: u have to register

Guest: OK, how do I do that?

MM: JD can you help him

Guest 42251413 has registered as Razi420

MM: Did you choose the name

Razi420: JD helped me. I tried to register as Razi, but the system said, “Username taken,” so I tried Razi1 at the behest of JD. That too was taken, so then JD informed me that Razi420 was open so I took it.

Razi420: Wait, I don’t have initials.

MM: JD can you help him

JL: i dont know its just so difficult

JL: itll take 10 hours

JL: i remember when i changed my intials i had to fill out all sorts of forms

JL: it was such a hassle

JL: and you wouldnt make little old me go through that again.

MM: OK you dont have to help Razi

Razi420: I guess that an old man like me wouldn’t understand it.

JL: ill get diego on the line 2

Razi420: You know computers are so hard for people like me

JL: mac how much experience do you have with dating

MM: I havent asked anyone out in my life

JL: not even for a sadie hawkins

Razi420: The other day I learned about emojis.

MM: I went to a small high school no one else was out

JL: so is it a confidence thing or a what do i say sort of thing or whats a good thing to do kind of thing or what

DrEscalonaMDPHDBS has come online

Razi420: See, Diego knows what it’s like, you don’t know how to do anything, you don’t know the lingo, you don’t know how to get initials for your messages.

DE: What?

DE: What did you guys need me for?

JL: i just heard razi sigh from the arcade

DE: So what was going on around here.

MM: I need some advice

DE: mhm, and what for?

MM: Asking someone out

DE: You two are definitely together, is that correct? I remember you two sharing a ,ah, intimate moment together.

JL: theyve “done more than that”

MM: JD dont you dare

DE: I’m going to need you to be more specific, JD.

MM: You better not

MM: JD I swear on my mothers hashbrown casserole if you dare say a word that is off task I will smash your stupid John Lennon sunglasses on the ground

Razi420: Part 1: I’ve tasted that casserole, this is very serious. Part 2: I will not say a word about that. I will hold that as a secret to be divulged at your discretion.

MM: Thank you Razi

DE: All of that aside, this is a date between you and our friend.

MM: Yes

DE: Just making certain everything is clear.

Razi420: In addition, Mackenzie has never asked anyone out on a date.

MM: Most of my past relationships we just kinda ended up in the same place

DE: Coworkers?

MM: Yeah basically

DE: My experience may seem a little old and not suit your personal flair, but I will offer my advice

JL: THEY HAVE MOST DEFINITELY HAD SEX. THEY HAVE DEFINITELY DONE THE DIRTY. MACKENZIE AND MY LOVELY COWORKER HAVE IN FACT HAD A ROLL IN THE HAY.

MM: Are you done?

JL: not yet

JL: macken-ZAY has gotten biz-ZAY

JL: They have shagged, baby

JL: ok im done

DE: I see

MM: I want merely two things in the world

JL: is one of those a piece of that ass

MM: I just want to take my girlfriend out on a nice date

JL: im a prophet

MM: And a device where I can punch JD in the face whenever I want

MM: not too hard

MM: not hard enough to cause damage

MM: but hard enough to make them stop

MM: Is that too much to ask

JL: yknow not wanting to damage me is probably the sweetest thing u ever said to me

JL: also mac you can break my “john lennon sunglasses” i have 50 backup pairs.

MM: Just please tell me how to ask out a girl

DE: When you say date, do you mean “let’s go out to lunch on Friday,” or “Come follow me, I have a surprise for you.”

MM: The surprise one

DE: Is the surprise time bound or can the surprise come at any time?

MM: Its time bound

DE: How much planning went into this?

MM: A lot

DE: Please be specific

MM: I rented out the drive in theater for an exclusive showing

DE: That’s extensive.

DE: Are you certain she doesn’t have any commitments?

MM: …

MM: no

JL: doc were in havenfall the only other possible commitments u can have is harvesting corn or very specifics times for rituals

JL: those r the only 2

DE: Still, for future reference, it is polite to make certain there are no other commitments.

MM: OK

DE: So, the basic message is, come with me to the movies.

MM: Id like it to be a surprise but yeah

DE: mhm

JL: ok so for a surprise you gotta give enough to peak their interest

Razi420: pique

JL: idea lee u keep them guessing until u finally get to the location of the surprise

Razi420: ideally

JL: if u wanna go the extra mile leave a red earring  so they think ur gonna go someplace else

Razi420: red herring

JL: plant a piece of evy dance that suggests a bar crawl instead of a camping trip or whatever but be careful

Razi420: evidence

JL: u dont want to accidentally pull a bateman switch

Razi420: bait and switch

JL: no im pretty sure its bateman switch

Razi420: bait and switch

JL: its like when ur watching an episode of arrested development and then u realize that the entire time jason bateman was just a cgi clone and not the real jason bateman and then ur just like aaaaaaahhh man i wanted to see jason bateman and now i get this

JL: thats a bateman switch

Razi420: That doesn’t happen.

DE: That seems rather con fluted.

Razi420: convoluted

JL: so if ur seeing a drivein movie ur bringing blankets and other stuff right

MM: yeah blankets pillows and popcorn

JL: so thats pretty obvious

DE: It’s been so strange to see popcorn grow as a foodstuff.

JL: doc please dont weve wasted enough time as it is

Razi420: I’ve seen it too, it’s very strange how we’ve all decided it is only for movies and baseball.

JL: dont start this old man

Razi420: I remember when growing popcorn was the livelihood of some people.

JL: razi i will go over to the jukebox and play neil young right now if u dont stop

MM: JD youre wasting time yourself now

JL: right right

JL: so u arent going to be able to trick her into thinking u 2 are going somewhere else but

JL: but

MM: JD Ive never asked anyone out before Im not ready for advanced tactics here

JL: ok fine but never say where ur going

JL: keep it a mystery

JL: the idea is shes concerned with the mystery and when she solves it shes all like booyah and it makes the date better. so u gotta make sure shes gonna solve that mystery

JL: whats new scooby doo and all that

MM: and if she guesses the mystery

JL: just be noncommittal if she guesses right

JL: give a flat no to any incorrect answer and then give a maybe or an i dont know if she guesses right

JL: the maybe and the i dont know are in That tone of voice

MM: yeah I know That tone of voice

Razi420: I don’t mean to jinx it but I think this is the longest JD has a gone without making a joke.

DE: Wait, Razi, you, as a djinn, believe in jinxes?

JL: u might want to text her because if u build up the anticipation the payoff will be greater.

MM: JD I shouldnt text her I dont like personal conversations not in person

Razi420: Jinxes are a legitimate concept. I have plenty of data to back it up.

MM: but Im not even sure how to even start the conversation and get it leading up to asking her out

JL: mac ill let u in on a secret

JL: being smooth is 70% luck

JL: u gotta have quick thinking and all that

JL: but sometimes the right opportunity doesnt present itself and then u just gotta have an awkward transition

DE: Razi, jinxes are just coincidental, you point out something because it’s rare or you assume an unlikely outcome will happen, and when it falls through. You just say, “Oh, I jinxed it.”

JL: so mac, be ready to just go out and say would u like to go out on a date tonight

JL: i know that its not like that in the movies but thats closer to real life

MM: I cant work with “just do it” my brain doesnt like it

JL: u just gotta lean on ur natural charms

JL: ur going to feel really nervous so just lean into it

JL: be cute nervous

JL: she will love u cute nervous, mac

Razi420: Jinxes are like reverse wishes, someone says something and then the opposite effect occurs. The same powers are at work, but the etiquette of wish making isn’t followed, so the reverse effect occurs.

MM: I guess Im just worried she’ll say no

JL: shes not going to say no

JL: like i said theres nothing to do in this town

JL: but more importantly

DE: Mac, if all else fails I will help you out in anyway I can, you have my word. 

MM: Thanks Diego

JL: but more importantly you two love each other. shes going to be glad to talk to u no matter the outcome

DE:  And, Razi, when you grant a wish it tires you out, right? It drains some of your power.

Razi420: Yes, it does drain some of my power, but what does it have to do with jinxes?

JL: mac just remember that its going to go a whole lot better than you think it is going to go

JL: brains are just like that

JL: they tell u everythings gonna suck but surprise it rules

DE: The point that I’m getting at is that for a jinx to work, someone has to spend some power, so where does it come from, does it come from the wood that you must knock upon?

Razi420: …

Razi420: JD, you’ve been quite unlike yourself.

DE: No.

MM: I appreciate it JD

DE: Razi, you’re not getting away with it that easily.

MM: If Im being honest I expected to have to work hard to get info from you

DE: Razi, you can’t just deflect like that.

JL: im surprised that we didnt start a whole tangent on arrested development or something dumb

Razi420: Jinxes are caused by the stars, OK.

MM: you mean a tangent that everyone is involved in

DE: THats ridcuuloos

DE: *That’s ridiculous

JL: yeah

JL: but seriously

JL: I’m going to use grammatically correct sentences to express how much sincerity I have.

Razi420: I’m a djinn who’s friends with a vampire, a devil, and a werewolf who happens to be the sheriff of a town. We are not good judges of ridiculous.

JL: I just want you two to have a good time. You are coming to us for advice and I know that’s hard for you. You are making yourself vulnerable. I’m really proud of you.

MM: ... 

MM: Thanks

MM: It means a lot to me

DE: Why does JD get to be the one to say they’re proud of you?

DE: Shouldn’t that be for the person with seniority here.

JL: thats where ur wrong bucko

JL: the question here is one of gayness

JL: i am more dimensions of gay than u can possibly imagine

JL: thus i am the one whomst is allowed to delegate pride

DE: Also Razi, if it is stars, how does knocking on wood do shit.

JL: oh dam

MM: Now we know what gets Diego worked up enough to swear

Razi420: Photosynthesis uses light from stars, photosynthesis makes wood. Wood is directly related to starlight.

MM: But anyway thanks for the advice

DE: And here is the part where JD asks for a favor.

DE: Any minute now

DE: Also Razi, that is so patently ridiculous that I’m not going to debate about it anymore.

JL: Mac, you don’t owe me anything, just you two have a good time. If you two are happy, then I’m happy. That’s all..

JL: Also, if you claim I was helpful in anyway, shape, or form, I will deny it immediately.

MM: I expect nothing less

JL: i got a wild child image to keep up cant have this sincerity bullshit

JL: cool people dont have feelings right

JL: we just have leather jackets cool shades and smirks plastered on our faces

Razi420: Diego, if you refuse to debate about it, that means I win.

DE: iifwood is sending these tsingnals that means the signals would have to ravel fsaster than light to reach the starts and back with enough time to actually effet change

Razi420: Oooo, someone’s misspelling words, that means they’re angry.

JL: since everyone is here i think this is a good opportunity to do something ive always wanted to do

DE: The nearest star is over 4 light years away, how does it affect change on Earth.

JL: they use waves made of bofa rather than light

MM: JD

DE: You can’t get me, JD.

DE: I know this.

Razi420: what is bofa?

Several people are typing…
