[eepy-deebser]

gang I'm sorry but can we talk about how terrified tr!Lukey is?

"I'm going to bang your head into a wall [if you don't get the egg]" "I will release the trigger if you don't stop speaking" Everything with Bad about Pangi and their date

Yes these are all jokes. They are lighthearted. Silly threats.

Lukey lost his first life to Ros– a trauma response. Perhaps he could forgive that. Lukey lost his second life to Sneeg. It was a joke. Yellow stood above him and cackled as every bone in his body shattered. There was a moment before he died, where all he could think was shit before he woke up again at spawn. It was a joke– that's the excuse Sneeg always has. Lukey lost his third life to Pangi, pulling out a gun. It was a threat, yes, but lighthearted. He wouldn't actually kill him! It was an accident. It was only meant to be a threat.

And yet Lukey died, over and over and over and over and over. For an unfounded accusation, a joke, a threat, a failure to arrive and for a Cure. "You're scared to fall, but you have people to catch you now." Who. When has anyone saved Lukey, really saved him? Or even picked up the broken pieces on the ground? No, the only one he can truly trust is himself.

"Are you scared" "...you could say that" Lukey is fucking terrified. Not just of losing everything– but of it being once again at the fault of someone he loves.

As usual I had to gnaw on it for a few days, but I have sooo many thoughts about the secret lab's pets..

When Lukey first saw them, he automatically compared them to himself and Pangi. And it makes sense. Pangi is dangerous the way Oakley is. And Lukey loves play-fighting with him. He knows exactly how to rile him up to get big reactions out of him, but he also knows that ultimately Pangi would not hurt him more than Lukey would hurt himself against Pangi's thorns (or if he does it will be on accident and Lukey will both forgive him and use it as ammunition in any and all following arguments). So Lukey is Iris, jumping into Oakley's mouth for a reaction, for fun.

But despite what Lukey may be seeing, he is not the one who trapped Oakley and Iris down there. Newt did. And in Newt's mind's eye, Lucas is Oakley. Lucas, the warrior-scientist in his white coat and white trimmed armour. He is the dangerous one. And Newt is Iris, all dressed in black, immortal but powerless. He is the one who got hurt (not died, but became something else) if not to Lucas's jaw then still because of his actions, and yet kept going to him, kept an eye on him, stayed by his side as Lucas lost everything that made him himself. As Lucas became Lukey, became Iris.

The same way that the snails he was experimented with take on the personality of those whose memories they eat, Lukey took on some of Newt's personality, maybe subconsciously, by exposure to the only person who showed kindness to him in the Null.

thinking about the meta talks lukey had near the end of yesterday and i keep coming back to lukey talking about his memories as lucas, saying that they aren't just words on a page anymore but actual memories with emotions attached. because, like. do you even know what the implications of lukey having the emotions of all his memories are?

all this time, we were under the assumption that there was this tragic disconnect between newt and lukey. that while newt searched for lucas buried beneath the person who has become lukey, lukey just could not be that same person, and it isn't even his fault!

newt approaches lukey with the intent to find...dividers, to say the least. where his lucas start and where pangi's lukey begin. and while lukey knows of lucas, of who lucas and newt used to be, of all their history, he didn't feel for that part of his life. that he didn't have the emotions of that part of his life anymore, just the meer knowledge that it had happened in the first place. or, that the was assumption!

instead, lukey feels all of it. the sorrow of watching his village burn to the ground, the joys from living with newt within the kingdom, the pain for when newt sacrificed himself to the guards, the horror of watching the kingdom he grew to call home become ridden with terrifying hooded black figures, the agony as he was detained and then forcefully experimented on for centuries upon centuries.

ALL OF THAT. lukey, more than remembers, feels all of that! like does that not change the perception of everything?

it single handedly changes the view of newt and lukey, because it is no longer "lukey isn't lucas anymore," it's "lukey is lucas and lukey has (quite simply) moved on."

and not only for newt, it completely alters the perception of the present: that his life now, his life in the realm, with green faction and the outworlders, with aimsey and bad and pangi. he actively chose that life over what it used to be, over who he used to be.

for so long, the tragedy was that newt clung so desperately onto his human memories of lucas because it was the last human thing that was left of newt to begin with. but now it's more than that. now, it's that lukey is as much lucas as he possibly could be, maybe even more than newt had been willing to realize, it's just that he has simply...moved on. the attachment just, isn't there anymore, and i can't tell if that's worse. that it's no longer "how much is his and how much is mine," that there was just simply nothing for newt to begin with.

After today’s talk between Newt and tr!Bad the Investors got together on the Lukey Discord and came up with a duo name for them

“ Night Shades” ! :D inspired by the poisonous flower 🥀

Attached below are all of the cool symbolism we found for why this name works so well for the two of them, happy reading :3 c ✨

[seeminglyunconcious]

Predictions for today (if Lukey decides to log onto the realm):

-tr!Lukey locks in and defends himself with his newly acquired crystals (props to his crisis intuition btw, the timing was insane)

-Newt saves tr!Lukey in the nick of time, getting injured or losing something more in the process

-tr!Lukey loses something more in addition to his life

-[Wildcard] tr!Foolish wakes the fuck up and all of this gets extremely dramatic and gay really quickly

[Pt1] Bad talks to Newt

(Pt2) (Pt3)

[doubleslashkarma]

I do think that like, most of Newt’s character IS a good person. But I do think he falls into the catergory of being too scared to go against those in positions of power in him (ie, higher keepers/kingdom leaders) and default thinks of their actions as good, and it caused Lukey to get hurt a lot. I do think he’s realized that they were wrong now though

oh yeah, so. to be a bit more serious about it, my newt hate is a tad bit over-exaggerated. i do think he's mostly a decent guy. most of my beef with him revolves around his actions (or more accurately, inaction) while Lucas was being held hostage.

more yapping under the cut because i do go into more detail here:

my post earlier was because some people in lukey's chat seemed genuinely taken aback by the idea that newkey might have been toxic. (i think they were probably fine in the Kingdom of Null era, but once it moved to the lab it all went to shit).

the fact that he was being considered for high keeper indicates to me that he was in a position of power. not THE authority, but perhaps higher ranking than an average joe. and he really did... nothing at all to stop what happened to lucas from happening

we have memories of newt telling lucas that "they can be annoying, but they're good people" and then immediately turning around and having to make sure that lucas remembers his own name. in lukey's memory lane, one of the books explicitly states that newt denied lucas freedom on multiple occasions. ("i did tell you they wouldn't like you going out" is INSANELY victim-blamey as well, but c'est la vie). newt i think downplayed the severity of what they were doing to lucas in his own head and convinced himself that it was for the best. far too long, in fact. to the point where there was nothing left.

newt broke lukey out, yes, but not until lucas was functionally dead. he let his belief that the keepers wouldn't hurt lucas blind him, and i have to believe it wasn't entirely subconscious at some point, considering he was clearly aware of how bad it was.

the fact that newt has chosen to keep his distance from lukey, while still keeping an eye out for him does make me think he understands that he should've taken action sooner. i like that he respects lukey as a separate person and is letting him take his own course in life without interfering too much.

that's a lot of words to just say "i agree with you on this one" but i've been sitting on this for a while lmao

Sneeg is BETA from the Kingdom of Null? Theory proven right?! Thanks Vei for helping me with this!

Sneeg is the outworlder #6, known for his distrust to the keepers (the only entry to be open of a outworlders distrust of the keepers) & Beta gone by the 6th Calamity. Are they connected?

Beta was an animal handler much like Sneeg in his past life? (with the chocobo's) the book during the end event about sneeg. To push the idea farther Beta became the 2nd in command to the kingdom of null much like Sneeg has for the kingdom of fools

In Lukey's recent stream, he talked to Newt, who was clear about Alpha grieving Beta and how the loss affected him severely which pushed him to even lash out and be mean to Lukey. It reminded me alot about Sneeg and how he processes grieving smiliarly, how they might be connected

Beta being talked about right before the ritual made me think they were gonna bring him back but I was wrong Beta overlooked while Alpha is not Beta is connected to this all even in the corner which is like sneeg who is always in the corner mysterious but connected to this all.

think somehow Sneeg is a reincarnated Beta, we're still unclear how Beta "died". There are so many similarities between the two, the last thing to see is Alpha talking to Sneeg, but is Alpha alive or corrupted? and how is lukey connected?

I can not fucking believe Newt and Lukey's storyline was inspired by the maze runner Newt. Time is a flat circle I've fallen for the same doomed romance once again.

[hadthatdreamagain]

theres something to be said about ros asking bad to kill her and newt asking bad to eat his memory but i cant put it to words rn

[eepy-deebser]

There is a rabbit being chased by a fox in the lab, and it's name is not LukeyTV.

Lukey is safe, on the correct side of the glass: observing the hunt between his beloved Oakley and... Iris. The rabbit must be having fun too, right? Fear is fun! Death is terrifying, but terror is good. It keeps you on your toes.

The rabbit's lucky to be immortal. When Lukey is hurt by someone stronger than himself, he bleeds. Thankfully, people mostly only threaten that now. (A spear through his gut. His skull cracking against bricks. A crossbow bolt through his heart.)

Thankfully, Lukey is the fox. He spins his tales and he's been sharpening his teeth, alright? And besides, they're just playing. The rabbit may be in pain and its breath may be too-quick and the jaw around its throat may make his heart try to escape his ribcage but– but it is having fun.

Oakley doesn't know any better, anyways. All he knows is to hunt, and how could Iris not love Oakley? Pangi and Bad and Newt and everyone– aren't connections what make life worth living? What's a bit of blood between friends?

(And if Iris wasn't immortal? If Iris was trapped in a smaller tube, surrounded by foxes– including Oakley, who'd never hurt him– and the only thing keeping him alive was the fact they enjoyed the hunt? That it was entertaining? That Iris had information they needed, even if every claw stole another piece of their soul?)

It doesn't matter though. Oakley is having fun and Lukey loves Oakley and Lukey is a fox. He's been sharpening his teeth lately, and his fur is white.

Stop listening to the cries. It's only Iris' first day, after all. You learn to love the hunt.
