so much happened in this whole episode but i’m still on fig infiltrating ruben’s dream, making it look like the place where his friend was murdered, and then disguising herself as kipperlilly & repeatedly saying different variants of “somebody needs to take the fall for this, and it’s not going to be me. it’s going to be you.” while adaine as the elven oracle shows up next to her. can you imagine waking up from that, the idea of a horrible truth being pinned on you by your friend to save her own skin while the personification of fate and destiny stands there, almost as a promise that this is GOING to happen to you. we don’t even know if this kid is guilty. my god.

Undercover ghost x mafia wife DONT DO THIS TO ME LO. DONT PLANT THAT IDEA IN MY HEAD.

Don’t imagine reader was sold off incredibly young to her current husband who’s twice her age as part of a deal. Don’t picture her living life surrounded by greys until her husband new right hand man comes into her life. Don’t imagine ghost forced to listen to you cry as your husband has his way with you.

Don’t imagine Simon trying to get you to flip, to become a snitch, he’ll keep you safe. He can put your husband away, you just have to trust him.

NO BECAUSE KAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING

I might be really messed up but I also kinda want her husband to care so little of her that he’s literally using her as a part of his business deals. sharing her with his clients—including ghost.

it’s supposed to be just for the night to sweeten the deal between your husband and undercover!ghost who is posing as a weapons dealer for the mission, but something about the way ghost looks at you feels different.

he doesn’t make you feel used like the other men do. the way he touches you is caring: the way he talks to you gentle.

it all feels safe, and good. it’s all something you have never known before, so is it really your fault that mister bennett is suddenly all you can think about?

I’M JUST SAYING.

movie Shadow should be so assured in his own power that he is completely confident and collected in dangerous situations , it would make sense he doesn’t talk during fights, his power doesn’t require words to make a impact . And he becomes tense and uncomfortable in mundane situations because he simply doesn’t have the framework for peace.!.!.!. And his power is so intense and hard to control he would need someone to navigate softness for him,.!.!.!.!. That’s all your honour

i do think its a bit of a pity that the english speaking players get praised for their eloquence and a lot of people’s reasoning for voting right now comes down to wording and semantics during the debates when the players who don’t have english as a first language don’t get that kind of grace yk ? its not like they aren’t trying just as hard to get a point across, but fluency DOES get in the way even though they’re all pretty good speakers

maybe a countermeasure here would be allowing the non-english speakers time to write down their answers and think them through? maybe an extra minute or two where they get access to the questions before the other candidates and have the opportunity to organize their thoughts

So, the voices of brainrot won so I had to put this into words cause I have been thinking about this idea for about… two hours now and I HAVE to put it out there.

The character I was thinking about was a Sonadow fan kid Void made by the wonderful @emthimofnight . Go check out all of her work, it’s absolutely divine! Her stuff is what ultimately inspired me to start drafting my own Sonadow fan kid.

Anyways, I, the romance writer that I am, was trying to think of how the actual hell a romance Void would even come about. A TL;DR summary on Void as a character: Void is narcissistic, greedy, selfish, born and raised villain with a god-complex so massive it makes Mystic Messenger’s Rika’s complex look angelic by comparison. A romance between him and… well- literally anyone- would never work. Despite his good looks, no romance would get past the other person’s attempts to initiate as, in Emthimofnight’s own words on Void on a post about their character’s reactions to being confessed to, “He just assumes it is natural for someone to be attracted to him… …whether he actually reciprocates is entirely determined by what he could get out of the person confessing.”

However, in my continuous back and forth with myself, I kept coming back to the second and third words used to describe him, greedy and selfish. The reason being was that I technically already knew how to make a character like that enthralled into a romance thanks to a manga called, “Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-Kun!”.

To keep myself from completely spoiling one of my, at the time of writing this post, two favourite archs in the whole manga, I’ll just describe the way the mangaka makes the greedy and selfish character fall in love with the object of their affection: B gives A a smack to the face with reality that their is someone above them, A’s sudden confusion and yet fascination with this new complete stranger who just broke into their head, the fascination leading to A trying to get B, only for B to be constantly putting themselves just out of reach A’s grasp, driving A to only want B more, finally, both dumbasses are into this so it keeps going.

The second step onwards aren’t exactly hard to to imagine happening, as they are just natural consequences of both characters’s writing, leading both characters to make to follow step after step. It was just that first step that was putting me in a bind. What in the hell would you have to do to make Void even consider you to be better than him? So, I kept trying to go back to what gave him the god complex in the first place. It was his ability to fight, right?

That’s when it hit me: someone just has to beat him in a fight.

Before you say that’s impossible, firstly, nothing is truly impossible in writing, secondly, if we’re talking about fighting, if someone is just as gifted as him that has done more training than him, bitch is getting his ass handed to him. People with god-complexes often either stop, or never started with gifted people, improving themselves in the area that gave them the god-complex in the first place. It’s why villains with them are defeated more often than ones without them.

Just imagining Void deeper and deeper into all consuming, rather obsessive, love that slowly drives to actually start getting stronger and stronger, while literally everyone watches in object horror, and as those who try to control him try to force him to stop, the end up giving up their hand, making Void doing the most selfish and greedy thing he could have ever done in that situation, leaving. That kind of stuff is what I live for.

Anyway’s, thank you for coming to my TED Talk, Imma go pass out now.

I’ve been thinking about Donald (*collective gasp* yes, I know, it’s shocking to me too) again and the possibility that Tasha might not be his first or even second wife but, what if she’s his fourth? I feel like he’s the type of man to be married more than three times which makes me dislike him more but it’s literally just a headcanon for him also, what if he had children with those women? So there would be more than Adam, Bree, and Chase.

They only way that they find this out is Kaz and Douglas doing a deep dive because they got bored together once so they decided to go look into Donald’s old life and so much more. They just causally bring it up like it’s common information meanwhile Bree and Chase are like, “What in the actual fuck?” and they just give Donald weird glances, even Tasha! She’s a bit offended that he didn’t tell her about his other wives especially when she’s spoke of Leo’s father. She doesn’t like talking about him but Donald pushes her to talk about him to get over him.

When confronted he just tells them, “I thought it wasn’t a big deal to talk about,” so Tasha, Bree, and Chase are just so done with him at this point. This man has other wives and he could have other CHILDREN somewhere 🤨💀

thinking abt metal sonic and how they communicate. like do they come up with little signals and sounds to convey certain things to others. tapping in morse code. do u think they learn how to write. taking away their voice was meant to make them less human but then they learn to write down their thoughts in an entirely human way. IDK and then im thinking if they got a voicebox in the future would they even use it all that much or would they be so used to not having it that theyd rely more on other ways to communicate. idk. when your voice is an item that can be taken away do you value it more or less than if it was a given right

*slaps hand on table* alright imma say it: i am bewildered by how many people seem to have taken the idea “John and his Empire are Evil, therefore the opposing side must be Good” and just ran with it.

im not even like, upset, just totally puzzled about the fairly prevalent interpretation that the entire BOE movement is some brave grassroots rebellion with no glaring flaws or moral issues when we’ve seen them use nukes, various forms of torture, and child murder to achieve their goal of…. well we don’t exactly know what they want yet because our only real perspectives of their goals came from 1) a ten page appearance of an ex-leader who has been dead for about 20 years 2) three people who are BOE prisoners of war 3) a BOE memorandum that was like five pages of misinformation about necromancy

so i just don’t exactly get the warm fuzzies about them but somehow people are like “yeah BOE seems GREAT!! viva la revolución! #DownWithJod”. the easy acceptance of BOE as the “good guys” is especially surprising cuz muir seems hellbent on bringing nuance and layers to her novels (which a black/white hero/villain conflict would be pretty out of left field for imho). i mean don’t get me wrong, the houses and john are def not the good guys here, i just don’t think BOE wholly is either.

Warning: I am 20000% spitballing, a relatively new crow, and also not up to date on qsmp because the sleepy has got to me. However I'm having fun spitballing here.

So looking at Philza having canonically died before... The baby zombie is the obvious one, right? And because of the trident being significant we know Season 2 happened in at least some form (the giant trident in Endlantis used to be Philza's, but he accidentally threw it into the void in HC Season 2. In the void it warped, and twisted, and became the giant one we see today.

So, HC Season 2 happened, because the Ender King's first message came with said trident and also a picture of it.

So the Baby Zombie thing did, too.

Thing is... even hardcore deaths are part of how minecraft works, right? You can't go back to the same world, but it's normal gameplay. Just like the deaths people respawn from. So could it just be those ones you just respawn into another world? Also the talk of something preventing him coming back... Which, yeah, could be that. Who knows.

And then there are his other two hardcore worlds. TBH they may well not be canon in QSMP, but I bring them up as the 'deaths' are super interesting.

3 is pretty well known, I think? Philza died to a glitch where the world didn't load in fast enough and he fell to his death in the void as the floor wasn't there. Or something like that. There was definitely a glitch involved (which, incidentally, is why he no longer updates his hardcore world to new patches as soon as the patch comes out - the glitch that killed him was a problem with a new patch that hadn't been caught before release and was itself patched a week or two later iirc. So, now he waits until other people have had a chance to die to glitches rather than risk his world again). Which, would be a fun death to have as the canon one tbh.

And then there's Season 1, where I don't /think/ he "died", per say. However, the world data itself became corrupted via hard drive crash (has later been repaired, but the repair came much later after he'd already moved on but in one of his youtube videos he does show it off). This to me is the really interesting world in the context of that quote? The talking about something preventing him from coming back. His transition between 2 and 3 and 4 was... Well it was a hardcore death, but it was fine. However from 1 to 2 he went from a corrupted world to a non-corrupted world and talk of something interrupting the process, preventing people from respawning as they should... HC Season 1 became a corrupted world, reality broke down and things ceased to function as they should. Philza did not flee it until it was broken, perhaps we could consider him killed by data corruption rather than a baby zombie or by a glitch and the void? And if he died via data corruption... That really does sound like something that could hinder his ability to return in the natural way, no?

IDK I just think it'd be fun for him to have died to a world breaking apart around him and struggled to respawn into a new world (like he was supposed to) because the universe itself was fucked. Possibly even he himself was affected by the corruption and it had to be repaired to come back.

(I know there's something about layered realities and reincarnation but I'm having fun here)

I want to thank dark academia based media for changing my life for the worse

[svtskneecaps]

my biological peer reviewer (sibling) called this theory “fun” and said i should send it, so here goes

my personal theory is the feds ((”federation”)) created the eggs because they decided the best way to enforce “you can never leave” was to give the people something they couldn’t lose, like in the post by tumblr user alexaloraetheris (no relation to the smp) where their friend who might be a deity had said,

"When you die you descend to the underworld with nothing to lose. To keep you, they give you something to lose. When you want to return, they will demand it back. That's why nobody ever leaves. The only way out is to never enter."

i’m thinkin that on egg D-Day, at the end of the countdown, the feds weren’t gonna give the eggs back. they were just gonna hide them forever, or do something else, anything else, just keep them away from their surrogate parents, because then the people would just be STUCK, because people could theoretically take their eggs and leave, but if the eggs are missing, gone without a trace, then the residents CAN’T LEAVE, because presumably the eggs are STILL THERE, SOMEWHERE, IN NEED OF HELP AND RESCUE, if only the residents could find them ON THE ISLAND. if they leave the island while the eggs are missing, they are abandoning these things that have become their children.

but then in came the brazilians. and shit went south. because see, the spenglish (spanish / english) streamers were INVITED, but the brazilians CRASHED; the feds didn’t INVITE THEM, they weren’t EXPECTING THEM, but they can’t let these guys leave either, so they PANIC, and they scramble to give the brazilians the same thing--something to lose. the new egg had a brazilian jersey, homie was TAILOR MADE for them to pack bond with. the feds didn’t have time to send out multiple eggs, it was all or nothing, so they picked something they could reasonably assume all five of them would find endearing because they don’t know shit about these guys--they had a week to observe the OG batch, but all they know about these newbies is the brazilian flag on their boat--and so they sent the little egg out to become THEIR THING, the thing they couldn’t afford to lose.

it leaves open why the eggs are cracked too, bc idk what’s going on there lol, either 1: the eggs cracked because they’re hatching and the feds picked that date bc they wanted to yoink the eggs before they got Too Powerful, or 2: the feds were the ones to crack the eggs as an excuse for why they vanished--returning the eggs untouched would open too many questions the feds don’t want them asking; this way, instead of being concerned specifically with “why were the eggs missing”, the residents presume they know the answer--the cracks.

but yea i’m just gonna add as an aside that personally i think cucurucho / osito bimbo / the white fucker is way more active again because the feds are still scrambling to keep up with the brazilians (which, again, the feds weren’t expecting), and the binary fuckwad came in to put the fear of god into the newbies--maybe so they didn’t get too focused on the morse code transmissions; iirc max was theorizing that both osito and binary were part of the federation ? and if so it does make sense that the binary entity went to fuck with cellbit immediately after cellbit was introduced to the conspiracies of the island, yknow, a warning shot. i think they want them to be focused on the eggs.

BUT THAT’S JUST A THEOr

Kairi's crystal flower thing from Re:mind/MoM isn't her heart but is instead a manifestation of the trauma she received from being experimented on and it acts as a Chirithy (protecting her from nightmares which in this case is said trauma) hence why she now has Chirithy imagery and parallels
