Yay I made portraits of everyone in the vaesen party! Starting with the top left:
Karlotta
After the death of her family at the hands of vaesen, she ran the household farm alone before joining the party. She is one of the physically strongest members of the group and has had a good time of carrying people over her shoulder during sessions. Decided to be Isak and Småsak's new mom. Erich relates to her a lot as one of the only reasonable parent people in the party.
Caius
Erich's son :) His mother was murdered by a vaesen when he was very young, which has left him with a sense of fear for his father. This culminated in him inadvertently killing someone in an effort to protect his father, causing him to turn to the church to seek guidance. Erich is fiercely protective of him and is slowly learning to let Caius take control of his own life.
Otto
Has been in service of the Society (the people who investigate the vaesen) for almost all of his working life and is the only member of the party with a prior relationship to any members of the Society. Quiet, keeps to himself, painfully bad at socializing. Erich doesn't know what to think of him, but he did prevent Erich from killing Caius so that's good
Erich
A doctor and the father of Caius and a secret second son, a half-vaesen child he tried to shelter from the world, even from Caius. In a cruel twist however this came back to bite him; Caius, fresh off the brutal murder of his mother, perceived the half-vaesen as a threat, and killed him to protect his father. Erich, unable to bring himself to tell Caius it was his own half-brother, has kept that secret for himself. This sad wet man can carry so much guilt
Isak
Hunter from a family of hunters. Extremely full of himself and overconfident but he's 19 so that makes sense. Acts as a protector to Småsak and (mostly accidentally) instigates problems for the rest of the party. As a unit they are "the kids" though Isak in particular resents the label. Erich relates to him a bit as a fellow knower of medicine but wishes he wasn't so reckless.
Småsak
The most mysterious member of the party; no one knows why he wears a skull mask or why he ties jingly things to the horns. Appears to be mute, and has been accompanying Isak for a few months prior to joining the party. Has some sort of trauma around guns. Erich is a little unnerved by him but is getting more used to the strange skull child and is more concerned by just how traumatized he seems to be.
Søren
Disgraced soldier who was let go from the service after a mission went horribly wrong, causing the deaths of all of his men. He seems to be cursed by a vaesen. He keeps trying to be a leader-like figure to the party but he's kind of a sad failure man. Erich sympathizes but also wishes that the erratic gun guy would not so wildly swing around his gun

Squeenix why do u do dis to me D:
Someone tell the lalafells that there's an untapped market to be had! Level 35-48 jewelry is the latest trend!
A once in a lifetime gil-gathering endeaver for your local, aspiring venture capitalist!!!!
.... in other news, I've been prepping myself for jewelery-crafting shenangians, which means clearing out my inventory LOL
But I got too invested and this time I took the time to research alot of the stuff that I've been hanging onto, and it turns out they're really easy to get later if i really wanted them back.
Most of it was either crafting materials (i thought they were turn-in tokens bc they looked special) or they were things that were fairly inexpensive to buy off other people if I wamted to do that in the future. I'd kept alot of things bc I wasn't as familiar with the UI/the game as i am now back when I tried downsizing in the past. Like I'd hold onto alot of junk bc for example, I'd research about this cool shiny item. and it'd start out so innocently lol.
I'd be like,
"oh I can use this to craft neat gear! Well I'll hold onto it bc i want to do that soon"
but then itd quickly spiral into
"oh, well I need a master crafting tome of X level, and to get that I need to collect these things. Okay that's doable. But wait, to do THAT, I first need to level up these 2 jobs so i can craft/gather the ingredients, alright.. (goes to level up the jobs) ...oh. i don't even have access to the zone that I need to collect those materials in, so then ACTUALLY I need to do the MSQ up to THIS point. Damn, thats kinda devastating bc I just spent all this time leveling lmao. Well, I got this far and i dont want to just toss these items, so ill just hang onto them for now
And then eventually I forgot about the details related to those items, but I remember how let down I felt while dealing with them so i just put it off and eventually they blurred into the clutter of the other stuff going on in my inv/I got invested into other goals lol
But now I've gotten better at asking the right things like "is this item rare? Where is it dropped? What is it used for, is it for crafting or a token or smth else? Also, does an NPC vendor ask for this in return for something cool? Could i buy this item on the MB later on?"
Whereas before, I'd just be like "okay. what can i use this for?? " And then I wouldn't see any crafting use for it, so I'd just toss it, and then 10 mins later id go to Mor Dhona and realize DANG IT was a TOKEN, i coulda traded that for smth interesting!! And it seems like a PITA for me to get again 😭 .....so thus began my hoarding :)
can't regret what you don't discard! lmfaooo
Also said screw it and sold off most of my food bc I realized by the time I worked thru all those edibles, id probably have a sub and would be able to buy HQ food really easily. Like, I'd been holding onto the food from when I had brute-force-leveled CUL to 50, and I'm still gonna have like ~200 hours worth of exp lmao.
I also actually, seriously reviewed the differences in food stats for once in my life (this deserves so much praise tbh bc I do not care for their details as long as I'm getting the exp buff lmao) and realized my level 15 HQ food is useless to hang onto bc my lvl 40 normal foods are still way better, and all this other info that's probably common knowledge lmao (and ik i CAN get more efficient with this if I prioritized food with stats that align with which jobs I'm gonna main for now but um. this is far as I care to go into the weeds with food details for now lmaooo like... no. stop thats too much to worry abt for me 😭😂😂 i mean like, i know (i think i know?) Strength and determination for tank, spell speed/piety for casters, skill speed for dps bc it just sounds like it makes sense lol. So like ill half-assedly try and pick the best stat buff food but its not really smth tht im overly concerned abt atm tbh. Maybe later at a higher level but for now everything seems to be okay without needing to suffer over the details)
So I sold off a buncha stuff off to an NPC and now i have a whole page and a half of space. I'm so excited!
I also reviewed the clutter in my chocobo sidebags and finally traded in the ancient gear drops to Rowena and sold off some faded maps that i realized are really common and can get again later lol
I'd have more space but i think I can use those few items up in the short term so it's just a waiting game for moar space uwu
But, yeah!!
✨️ A page and a half of inventory!! ✨️
I haven't had this much space ever since probably the MIDDLE of doing the main 2.0 MSQ!! xD

Paul imprinting on Emily's best friend-Part 3
Tumblr media
Paul imprinting on Emily’s best friend -Part 3? @laurastrutz
The only words that could repeat through Paul's head were, "She suffered a great number of internal damages. She will need to be put under a medically induced coma. When she wakes up she may have a slight case of amnesia from hitting her head on the road." Everyday he heard them echoing around in his head for weeks as he stared at your sleeping figure, no one could get him to move from his seat, except Emily, who promised she'd stay at your side until he got back from his nap and shower. He could only stare at the many tubes and wires connected to you, counting how many times your chest would rise in an hour.
Kim and Emily were both fine, the other driver crashed into the front drivers side of your car. Jared and Sam are both grateful you got them out okay, but they also won't let their imprints out of their sights. The two wolves made sure their friend was okay, but they knew he was basically dead inside, his life laying unconscious in the bed surrounded by balloons and flowers your best friend brought so you'd see something other than the dull walls when you woke up.
The other driver was okay. He did have to go into surgery, but when he was out, he alongside his family tried to say thank you. Of course that just pissed off Paul, if the other driver saw the stop sign, you wouldn't be in the hospital, all of the imprints would be safe and fine telling them about the movie they saw and the random things they bought that are now ruined or was barely salvageable.
When she woke up and found out what your condition was, Emily immediately called your dad, who sped his way to the hospital from Seattle. It wasn't the way he planned on meeting your boyfriend, but he could see just how much Paul cared about you, and that's all he could ask for his daughter especially at a time like this.
The two men quietly sat at your bedside everyday. Occasionally they'd talk, getting to know each other, telling stories of the random things you'd do.
When the doctors decided to take you off of the medication they informed your dad and Paul you wouldn't wake up right away, that your body would come to when you were ready. They sat for three days, taking showers in the hospital bathroom, taking turns to go get coffee. Emily would come everyday to make sure they ate. They'd constantly look at how different you looked without all the tubes on your face, and the wires connected to your body now gone, you looked somewhat normal. The only thing missing was the smile that was constantly on your face.
On the fourth day, they were both sat by the window, one of the rare sunny days in Forks that they knew you loved. They opened the curtains and windows and sat there staring outside. They were both so lost in thought they didnt hear you start to wake up until they heard a raspy voice say, "You both look like shit."
Their heads both snapped to your bed where you were laying wide awake and a soft smile on your face.
After the doctors checked and made sure you were okay and were checking to make sure your stats were normal. Paul's hand never left you. He was either holding your hand or drawing shapes on your arm or leg. Your dad was the one who called Emily. As you waited for her you turned to your dad, "Where's mom at?" He stops talking to the doctor to look at you, "Baby. Your mom died remember?" You look at him for a second before shaking your head, "Right. Yeah. I know." Before you can say anything the doctor quickly reassures you, "Dont worry. That's normal after an accident like yours. It's very common for cases like this. For little bits to be missing, it'll just take a few moments for your brain to correct itself. It should only happen for the next couple of hours."
About ten minutes later Emily runs into the room like a track star and practically jumps on top of you. You dad can only shake his head, "Dont break her already." Emily just shrugs with her arms wrapped around your shoulders, "Shes already in a hospital."
The next person to enter is Kim followed by Jared. You watch as she stops in the doorway before running and joining you and Emily on the small hospital bed.
Your dad leaves telling you he's going to get some actually sleep at your house, now that you're awake, leaving you with your two friends and three wolves. Despite just waking up, you were exhausted and quickly fell asleep after Emily put on a movie. Soon Kim and Emily followed, the three of you sharing one blanket and squished on one bed. The boys can only shake their heads realizing why you're all so quiet. "At least shes finally awake." Sam just chuckles, "At least they're all in one place. Just wait till Y/N gets discharged."
The doctors started you on physical therapy the next day, to get your body back into the activity it was used to before you could get discharged. You struggled but you pushed against it until you could walk on your own, even if you needed something or someone to help keep you on your feet. You didn't let anyone join you except the trainer and the doctors, not wanting Paul or Emily to stop you from pushing yourself.
When you get discharged you find yourself bouncing back quite fast, you still need help getting around but it's more like you just need someone to make sure you dont fall.
You called your sergeant to help you bounce back and he agreed knowing you need someone to push you but know the limits, and not Paul who'll hold back when he thinks you've had enough. You asked your dad to go on morning jogs with you, not knowing the wolves follow you in the tree line hidden by the shadows and bushes.
When you got cleared by the doctors your dad went back to Seattle and you were free to do what you normally did everyday.
Of course that didnt stop the boys from doing stuff for you, even if it was simple stuff, "I'm gonna get some water." "I got it." "What happened to you practically live here get it yourself?" "Don't worry about it."
You realized about a week after getting cleared for regular activity that three certain wolves tried to keep you, Kim, and Emily together constantly or you always had a wolf with you. You watched everyone before sneaking out in the middle of the night while Paul was asleep. You easily avoided any wolf on patrol and made your way to the beach. You stayed there all night with a small fire and blanket, thankful it was a warmer night.
When the sun started coming up you laughed as you heard howls coming from the woods and started a timer to see just how long it'd take for your boyfriend or one of the other wolves to find you.
As the sun slowly starts to rise higher into the sky you all hear a shout coming from the tree line, "Hey! What the fuck?!" You turn seeing a barely woken up Embry and Jacob. And with a shit eating grin you wave, "Hello friends."
You watch as they trudge their way through the sand before plopping down next to you, Jacob looking at you, "If I knew you getting discharged meant a wild goose chase before the sun was fully up, your ass would still be in a hospital bed." "How about I bring potato salad to dinner?" "What was I mad at you for?" With a smile you shake your head and stare out at the water, soon the boys leave to go find your boyfriend and tell him where you are.
Not even fifteen minutes later Paul is walking through the sand to get to you. Even though he's slightly mad at you he can't deny how beautiful you look with the breeze going through your hair as the early morning sun shines on your face. "How long have you been out here?" With a shrug you reply, "Since you fell asleep."
Paul cant say or do anything except step forward until you're in his arms, both of you staring at the water. You lose track of how many times the water reaches your feet, your mind focused on one thing in this perfect moment.
"Marry me." Paul looks at you thinking he misheard you, "What?" You turn to face him, staying in his arms, "One day, it doesn't have to be anytime soon. I want to take your last name. I want to marry you."
You continue speaking before he can say anything. "I almost died and your face was the last thing I saw. I was in that hospital bed in a coma and your voice was the only thing I heard loud and clear. I cant remember anything you said, I just remember your voice. I-" You dont get to finish your sentence before Paul's lips are smashed onto yours in a kiss so powerful and full of emotion your knees go week. You'd be on the ground if it weren't for the cold water touching your feet and the two strong arms wrapped around your midsection, holding you up.
The two of you stay on the beach for a little while longer, sitting in the sand, in each others peace and happiness. Paul never thought he'd be so happy, better yet to be the one to get proposed to. But he also knows he'd do anything for the person sitting between his legs with her back against his chest, even if it means he has to go on a wild goose chase before breakfast.
The silence gets ruined when you both hear another set of howls, breakfast call. Paul looks down when he feels you look up at him, "How long do you think we can go before anyone suspects anything?" Your fiance can only shake his head with a smile on his lips, before playing along, "As long as you dont get hurt again, I'd say we could play that game for a pretty long time." "Wanna bet on it."

Ok so, I didn't realize how hard I was going out on this, guess I like ranting about things fkgndjfkf. But I do a fair amount of paragraphs and for the sake of understanding whats happening and not realizing plain text is boring, I put colors and italics and bolded stuff so it's pretty and easier to read, you can thank me later Jmvjfkdkr /j.
Just for clarification, the colors and bolded and all the such don't have meanings, they're just there for (hopefully) easier reading. Enjoy djgkdkf
So in pokemon sword and shield you get a free galarian slowpoke, and to shorten this a bit, theres a normal original version of pokemon, and some have different versions depending on the region like an alolan or galarian version(mostly in the newer games) and I got a galarian version of slowpoke becuase that give you one for free and you cant find normal slowpokes in sword and sheild and so I was looking up for to evolve one becusse since it's not a normal slowpoke, you have to get these weird special twigs and talk to this NPC that turns it into an item that you give to your galarian slowpoke and slowpoke is one of those special pokemon that have two different forms it can evolve into so it's an either or situation and you can get a slowbro or slowking and I was gonna go for a slowbro cause I like the stats better (even though the stats dont matter unless your doing online competitive battles) even though I'm more biased towards getting slowking and here's the part where I get upset:
Number one. Number uno. Fricken number eins. First of all, I assumed that since slowpoke is a galarian version in this game, it would look a little different when i evolved it, and right i was to assume!!! And they ruined my babies?? (Yes I'm really pulling out pictures for this. I have to.)
Tumblr media
This is normal slowpoke. Absolutely adorable and pure and I want one.
Tumblr media
This is a galarian slowpoke. Now this isn't too bad, it's cute and got some yellow on it, that's fine, right?
Tumblr media
This is slowbro. I'm not sure what's with the thing on its tail but its stil cute and deserves some headpats. Probably be wary of its tail tho
Tumblr media
Now this is where I start getting a little bugged. This is galarian slowbro??? I mean it's not bad but the thingy is supposed to be on its tail!!!! I guess it could be good at punching things? And don't get me started on the purple, it just looks...wrong to me, especially the purple on its head.
This is slowking, and as stated, is in absolute king(not actually, just imo). Lovely. Amazing. I want it.
Tumblr media
Now this is slowking. As the name states, it's an absoulte king (not actually, just imo). Lovely. Amazing. I want one
Tumblr media
Huh?? What is this???? This is galarian slowking and i- I mean I'm speachless but not in the good way- like the thing on his head has weird eyes??? I mean all the shells got eyes but this one stares straight into your soul. And it looks like a zombie!! Maybe it's just me but no.
REASON NUMBER TWO. YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO PAY MONEY AND GET THE DLC JUST TO EVOLVE THE SLOWPOKE INTO EITHER FORM. Wow. I love you nintendo but your so money thirsty one the switch and its gross. Like you want people to buy a new joycon cause one got drift when you can literally stick a Q-tip with rubbing alcohol on it and swish it around the joycon and jiggle the joycon stick a bit and it's fixed for a while. It only gets drift cause it gets dirty you whores.

Shenanigans™️ from last night's ops:
we ran SM DF and DP cause two of our buddies needed them for Oricon story. we started out with only five (one tank, three DPS, and I got to try solo healing them both for the first time - another friend joined us on DPS right before Grob'thock)
SO
In true Catz fashion, SM = meme run...
First add pull in DF resulted in the tank getting yeeted off the bridge. He started laughing, rezzed.... then IMMEDIATELY died again to one of the underwalker's AOEs
Nefra was pretty uneventful, but no one paid attention to the add so it came for me every time it spawned. I was running around like a dumbass to stay out of the AOE while also trying to stay in range of the tank
Grob was...well. Grob. One of the sorcs got fire the first time and she, while giggling, drops the fire right under me. But guess who got fire the next time? 😈 so we just kept trying to sabotage each other while laughing like dummies. At one point the DPS jugg ignored fire and promptly died cause they didnt move out of it and I couldn't heal them thru it
Draxus was chaos as he usually is, but surprisingly uneventful considering who we are alssksksk same went for Corruptor Zero - tho, there was an add that wouldn't get off me, so one of the sorcs goes "COME ON ME, YA BASTARD" *long pause* DPS jugg repeats it in ops chat and she groans, cause she realized what she said only after saying it, and had hoped no else caught it
Then Brontes.... ah, Brontes. so, a little note: we brought in a new raider we found in a flashpoint and have been teaching him the ropes and stuff. in true Catz fashion, when it comes to SM we just kinda explain as we go while dragging him thru the fights. Brontes actually went well, buuuut...... during the reaches, the sorc says to the new guy: "gotta run between them for the next mechanic"
new guy: "oh okay"
everyone else: "NO, DONT LISTEN TO HER" *laughter, while she starts cackling*
...surprisingly, there were no deaths on Brontes
All in all, DF went surpsingly well considering who we are alalsks
Then came DP...
Bestia was going well, but then the new guy started taking MASSIVE damage all of a sudden
Me: "NERDZ. NERDZ GET OUTTA THE YELLOW. NERDZ. DUDE YOU'RE IN AN AOE I CAN'T HEAL YOU"
"...huh?"
....and he promptly died. *sorc, heals, & tank laughter, including the one who died* I rez him, he backs out of the yellow...then promptly stands in another puddle. I started laughing and he stepped out after that and didn't die again during Bestia. Both juggs (the tank and a DPS) ended up dying after Besta hops down, new guy is actually the one to rez the tank since I'm still on CD for it, and it pretty much becomes "out-damage Bestia before she kills us first" the PT is running around like a madman thru all this cause one of the adds decided he's its new best friend and it doesn't give a shit about the actual tank (fortunately the PT has a hybrid experimental build he came up with himself, so he's got defensive stats to be not as squishy as pyrotechs usually are)
Tyrans.... heh, Tyrans is always fun with this group 😂 most of us, when we get simplification, our goal is to sabotage someone - usually heals or a turret class - by dropping it on their tile. Let's just say the arena looked like a total mess by the end, and Tyrans, the tank, and melee were on a secluded island tile with no way to get off of it. One of the sorcs actually pulled the PT off the tile because he had no way to get out of fire. SOMEHOW no deaths to Tyrans, tho I was struggling to keep people up by the end cause they were running out of places to go to get out of fire/Tyrans cleaves
Calphy was...interesting. First portal goes fine, but between healing I'm trying to arrange ops frames for the second portal phase (was gonna put the two sorcs + tank on left since self-heals, while taking the DPS jug and PT right with me)
...and then the DPS jugg rearranges frames into a single column just to be a shit 😂 so come phase 2, everyone's confused about which portal to go into. I run right with the PT-
everyone else goes left
cue my "oh fuck" as I realize there's only two of us on the right, and one of us doesn't do shit for damage
let's just say I'm really fuckin glad the PT did good damage + had that experimental build, or our side would've been fucked. I'm actually surprised we beat Calphy there
after that, cue me and the jugg fighting over ops frames. I rearranged them back how they should be, then they just threw everyone into random spots-
aaand because of how I have my 8m healing UI set up, the way they arranged it made it so I could no longer see one of the group members in the frames. AND since I keep friendly nameplates turned off, the person who go dragged off-screen was kinda fucked for the Drouks since I couldn't see their health nor click on them with everyone stacked so close
and ah- turned out it was the one fucking with frames who I couldn't see aksl;djlk so they died within seconds of pulling the Drouks and I couldn't help but start laughing because KARMA
I rearrange frames correctly again, they fuck em up again, so I revoke their LT privileges and one of our sorcs just busts out laughing "oh, that's COLD" (I gave em back LT partway thru Raptus, and they didn't mess with frames again after that akls;djlk)
ANYWAY
it was so much fun and my stomach hurt from laughing so much 😂
it's a wonder how we get through HMs when we wipe in SMs from being dumbasses (legit, we've wiped on SM and HM Bonethrasher so many times cause we've been laughing so hard), but goddamn is running with this group fun aklsd;jkld

✰✰✰✰✰
“I don’t know what you did to get her to give you a second chance, but I need to warn you.” Ally said. Tom turned to look at her, they had only ever spoken when necessary for theater stuff. 
“Warn me?” He asked. 
“Y/N can make your life either very, very good or very, very bad. She has most of the professors in this school wrapped around her pinky. And she doesn’t make it obvious, but she’s the smartest person I’ve ever met. She can really help you if you let her.”
“Well, thanks.” He said awkwardly and turned back to his stuff. 
“One more thing.” Ally said. Tom turned again and raised his eyebrows. “Don’t you dare catch feelings.” “Seriously? No need to worry about that.” Ally scoffed. 
“I’m serious, Tom. Don’t. She doesn’t need that right now.” 
“Yeah, fine, I get it.” He said. 
“Alright guys let’s get started.” Gigi said, signaling rehearsal was about to start. 
* * * 
It was finally Friday, and your phone was blowing up as you walked to the library. Class had gotten out late, so you were walking as fast as possible so you wouldn’t be late to your meeting with Tom. 
Al
if Y/N is ok with it its fine with me
Iz
i still dont know how i feel about this
Em

Em

You 
glad we got that sorted ill see u guys at mine at 8
You walked into the library, checking your watch and seeing it was 4:02. You bit your lip. Hopefully he didn’t give you any crap for being late. 
You walked quickly into hlab, and you knew you looked like a crazy person. Your bag was falling off your shoulder, you had a coffee in your hand and your water bottle tucked under your arm, and your phone in your other hand. 
You scanned the room and saw Tom sitting across from Max, both of them had books out. 
“Hi,” you said breathlessly. Max slid over a seat so you could sit across from Tom. “So sorry I’m late, crazy day.” 
“No worries dar-” You heard him start to say darling, but stopped himself. “No worries. It’s only 2 minutes after.” 
“How long have you been waiting?” You asked.
“Max and I have been hanging out for a while, not a big deal.” 
“Speaking of, I’m on alc duty for tonight so I better go.” Max said, did his stupid handshake with Tom, and walked out. 
Hlab was almost empty except for some freshman. Most people don’t like studying on a Friday, who could blame them?
“So I got a copy of your lectures from this week. What do you want to start with?”
“I don’t care.” 
“Ok, what is currently confusing you the most?” He thought for a second before saying “Astronomy.” You nodded. 
“Great, grab your notes and your textbook.” He pulled out a notebook and his laptop, opening the online textbook. You pulled out your laptop and a pen and highlighter. 
“May I?” You asked and pulled his notebook to your side. You went through his notes, circling certain things with the pen and highlighting others. 
“These are really good, Tom. I like how you put question marks next to things that confused you.” He laughed. 
“Do I get a gold star?” He joked. You rolled your eyes. 
“So phases of the moon.” You started. 
“Wait a second,” he said after you had been talking for a while. “You’re telling me that the moon doesn’t actually, like, change?” 
“It’s all shadows.” You replied. He nodded and seemed to finally be getting it. 
“The phases will most definitely be on your next lab, which isn’t open note, so make sure you memorize them.” You said. “Let’s move onto stats.” He groaned. “What?” You asked. 
“Statistics is so stupid. Letters and numbers shouldn’t go together.” You rolled your eyes. 
“Stats is easy, I promise you. This is the first unit, all we’re doing is descriptive statistics and graphing. Let’s start with some vocab.” You said, highlighting certain words in his notes. 
Once you could see his brain was about to explode, you moved onto writing. 
“There’s not much to talk about, just email me your most recent paper so I can go through it and look for themes we need to discuss.” 
‘“Themes?” He asked. 
“You know, on going issues that need to be addressed.” He nodded and emailed you his paper, which you would read tomorrow. You heard your phone buzz and took a quick glance. 
Em
al dont be upset
Al
then dont give me a reason to get upset
what is it
Em
……….. It’s themed
Al
are you kidding? were not freshmen, i dont wanna go to a stupid themed frat party
Em
its blackout !!!! itll be fun i promise
You turned your phone back down and didn’t realize you had an upset look on your face. 
“Everything ok?” He asked. 
“Just arguing in the group chat.” 
“Do you need to go?” He asked. 
“No, no, just arguing about tonight.” 
“What’s tonight?” 
“Tonight is not related to political conflict, which is what we should be talking about.” He laughed. 
“Do you ever have fun?” 
“Excuse me?” 
“I’m serious, do you ever have fun, or do you just go to sleep surrounded by planners and textbooks.” 
“That’s not funny. There’s a lot more about me that you don’t know.” 
“Clearly.” 
“So we’re starting off with socioeconomic issues over time and the class strugle. Did you read the Marx chapters?” 
“Yup. Didn’t understand a word of it.” 
“Ok, let’s get into it.” You said and began rambling about the bourgeoisie and the communist manifesto. Politics was your favorite subject, you could talk about it for hours. 
You were having a really good discussion with Tom. It was global political conflict, and he was able to connect the themes to both America and England, which made you really pleased. 
You were pulled out of your discussion when your phone vibrated. 
Iz
pickin up panera anyone want anything 
“Jeez it’s already past 6:30, I gotta go.” You said. 
“Oh, I’m sorry.” He said. 
“No it’s not your fault, I get so into politics I lose track of time.” “I can tell.” He said as you both packed up your stuff. 
“Wanna grab some food?” He asked. 
“Sorry, can’t,” you said. 
“Why, got a hot date?” He joked. 
“Maybe,” you said. 
“At least let me walk you to wherever you’re going.” 
“You don’t have to do that.” 
“Well where are you going?” 
“Congression Hall?” You replied. 
“Wait, you live there?” 
“Uhm, yes? Me along with practically every other junior.” 
“What floor?” 
“8.” You said. 
“Should’ve guessed.” He replied as you started walking across the quad. 
“What’s that supposed to mean?” 
“Honors 8. I forgot you were in hc.” He was referring to the eighth and top floor of Congression Hall, which was reserved for the honors college juniors. 
“Yeah.” You said simply. 
“I’m on six, by the way.” He said. “That’s why I was curious. I’ve never seen you around there.” 
“I’m not usually, I only really use it for sleep.” 
“Of course,” he replied. 
“I assumed you lived in a frat house.” You commented. 
“Nah, next year.” He said with a wink. “Speaking of frat houses, there’s kind of this party going on at Delt tonight-” 
“I’m aware.” You said, cutting him off. 
“Ah, well, if you want I can get you on the list.” You smiled to yourself. 
“No need, I’m already on the list.” You said. 
“Oh?” He said, clearly embarrassed. “Because of delta nu?” 
“Nope.” You said, not offering any other information. 
“Well maybe I’ll see you there then.” 
“Even if you do see me there, I will be pretending I don’t know you.” 
“Why?” He asked, clearly offended. “I run that house.” He joked, trying to play off the embarrassment. 
“No offense, but your reputation would not be good for mine.” 
“What’s that supposed to mean?” 
“Well I have a certain reputation in the greek community, and if people see me with you they’ll get the wrong idea.” 
“The wrong idea?” He asked as you walked in the lobby of your building. 
“Well, see, the thing is,” you said, stepping into the elevator. He pressed the button for six and eight. “I have certain standards. If people see me with you, they’ll think I’ve…” 
“Wow, you are really uptight, aren’t you?” 
“Excuse me?” 
“Certain standards? Jesus christ, you’re not the queen, Y/N. And I don’t have a bad reputation. But god forbid I don’t live up to your ‘standards.’” He said, storming off the elevator without another word, clearly upset. You sighed. Good job, Y/N. 
Tom got to his room and threw his stuff on the floor, collapsing on his bed. His head hurt from all the tutoring, and trying to focus on not staring at your lips.

✱  kim  doyeon.  she  /  her.  cis  female.  —  i  know  that  theodora  “  theo  ”  jung  is  one  of  the  roses.  which  makes  sense  because  the  twenty  year  old’s  parents  are  hollywood  royalty  known  for  producing  and  recording  multi-platinum  awarded  albums.  rumors  say  that  they  are  the  quixotic  of   the   group  ,  but  who  knows  if  that’s true.  +  plucking  petals  off  of  daisies  in  the  name  of  a  crush  ,  steeping  teabags  for  too  long  ,  the  scent  of  perfume  left  behind  on  a  pillowcase.
Tumblr media
                   hello  !  im  xan  and  im  late  as  usual  but  alas  ...  😔  im  22  ,  from  the  est  timezone  (  even  though  my  sleeping  schedule  …  does  not  reflect  that  sjbdwjkbdjdw  )  &  i  go  by  she  /  her  pronouns  !  i  truly  ...  never  know  what  im  doing  with  intros  they  just  turn  out  long  &  messy  aha  ... are  u  ready  ?  *jungkook vc*  let’s  get  it  !  😋
━  ˙ ˖  ☆     QUICK STATS  !
full name: theodora marie jung.
nickname(s): theo, teddy, dora (  but only by bullies 😠 ).
zodiac: libra sun, aqua moon ( click ! ) 
sexuality: bisexual.
occupation: singer / songwriter, model. 
birthplace: los angeles, california.
current residence: wherever this rp is taking place aha x
━  ˙ ˖  ☆     BACKSTORY ! ( tw: sexual themes )
so her parent’s story was actually a pretty big scandal in the 90′s ! basically theo’s mom was the pretty famous front woman of a band ( think stevie nicks in fleetwood mac ) who was long engaged to the guitarist of that same band....until one day it was announced she was quitting the group and starting her solo career, leaving her fiance, and signing to a new label.....which was run by theo’s father, a young up & coming producer taking over the family business. not even three months later theo’s mom releases her first solo album, produced and co-written by theo’s father, basically detailing this years long affair the two had been having... in a series of really catchy, moving, and wildly successful songs. 
the public went crazy over the drama, especially when rumors started circulating ( through detailed analysis of the lyrics to all of theo’s mom’s solo songs ) that the well known band had actually been quite toxic. basically it was enough to convince media outlets and fans alike to forgive theo’s parents for being cheaters and breaking up the band JSDBWBDJWBD. by the time theo was born in the last year of the iconic decade that launched both her parents into stardom, everyone couldn’t be happier the two stars were getting the happy life they deserved <3
so here comes baby theo.....and the world kind of just immediately labels her as america’s sweetheart. her mom had some minor health issues which just meant it would be safer to not have anymore kids after theo, so not only was she this little angel to the public, she was also her parent’s little miracle baby ! lets just say she had some big shoes to fill bc of all the expectations ..
luckily no one had to worry abt her being a demon child JSBDJWDWJ because she turned out to be a very sweet kid ! she was a HUGE daydreamer since she spent a lot of time alone growing up </3 her mom had retired from singing and was now helping theo’s dad run the label, and the two of them were always busy looking for new talent to sign. she didn’t have any siblings and although she had a really attentive nanny it just .. wasn’t the same ?? so to #Cope JSBDWBSBDJW theo was always creating these super elaborate little fantasy worlds. it wasn’t uncommon for u to find her deeply engrossed playing barbies alone like she had scripts and everything 
by the time she was a preteen her parents were both really pressuring theo into thinking about a singing career, so wanting to please them ( and knowing that it was something she was kinda into anyway ) theo said ok sure ! and that’s where.....things start to take a turn. since she was so young she had this very very clean, innocent, cute image ( think disney stars ) & most of the music she was making was used for kids shows or movies. she didn’t really mind it so much but she noticed that her creative process wasn’t really valued ? or taken very seriously by her parents, because in their eyes like that’s their kid you know she’s still young, she’s always had her head in the clouds, they just really didn’t think it was a big deal if they took control. 
so theo put up with it, but the years kept going by, she kept getting older, and nothing was really changing. she still had a squeaky clean image, little say in the type of music she was making, but on the outside everything looked great. the public loved her, she was a role model for kids ( even though she was a teenager now ), it was all perfect.....until it wasn’t. when she was 16, she had a scandal akin to the vanessa hudgen’s nude photo leak, except it wasn’t as explicit ( not a nude, just a suggestive pic ) and it was way way worse considering theo was a minor. 
legal action was immediately taken by her parents, but once something’s out there you can’t really stop it from circulating, so the photos existed, just not on any official media sites. it was traumatizing for theo having her privacy breached like that, especially because instead of talking about how disgusting it was that someone would leak those photos when she was just a teen, gossip sites & fans alike were too busy talking about how her image was ruined. since she’d had such a clean, innocent reputation, people kinda forgot that... she was an actual person going through life growing up, and that she wasn’t perfect. 
theo, being the optimist she is, was like hey you know what? this is my chance to stop making music i dont love. after what was probably her first truly honest convo with her parents, they agreed she should be free to figure herself and her art out. so for the remainder of her teenage years theo fell off the face of the music world....
only to pop back up in the modeling one ! like most celebrities, social media had a big say in this. since reputation wasn’t something theo had going for her anymore, what she did have was a hell of a following still and two famous parents ( not to mention ... shes tall JSBDJWBDWJ ) she did maybe one runway show before deciding she hated that. tbh she hated any modeling that felt too constricting, which is why she never ended up doing anything for big names & mostly does stuff for foreign brands & magazines. 
she liked how much aesthetics had to do with modeling, and to some extent being a part of shoots satisfied that creative itch she had, but music was always her first love. theo really wanted to go back and revisit it, but she was scared the public’s reaction wouldn’t be what she hoped /: 
so following in her mother’s footsteps, theo’s re entrance into the music scene was an ep ( 100% written, produced, edited, you name it, by her ) she released on the eve of her 18th bday basically explaining everything she went through with art. it was only four songs + an interlude, which would become the most talked about part of the whole thing because it was snippets of various reporters talking about that photo leak.
the public had mixed feelings ! unlike with what happened with her parents, not everyone was ready to “forgive” theo. and since she hadn’t done any promo for her music, or for her career as an artist independent from her parent’s famous label, it wasn’t like she was making crazy money and getting all this recognition. but !! she was insanely insanely happy, and that’s when she realized making music wasn’t something she did for other people, just something she liked to share, so what did it really matter if she could be more famous if she was an artist under her parent’s label ? 
cue present day theo, model & singer, although the labels are pretty loose. although her music is getting way more recognition than it did three years ago, she’s still trying to do things independently from her parents, and she still has yet to become a chanel ambassador or anything crazy SDWBKWKFW. because of that she’s kind of garnered this new reputation for herself as one of those celebs that don’t really feel like celebs, like maybe she’s just like u except let’s be real she’s rich and her experiences are NOT universal even if her cute insta pic talking about ~her feelings~ in the caption makes u think they are
━  ˙ ˖  ☆     PERSONALITY + TIDBITS !
not even gonna lie to u guys....she is baby. i dont mean that in a uwu shes 20 but im gonna weirdly make her act like a child way im not a freak shes just baby ! like i mentioned earlier theo was a HUGE daydreamer growing up, and tbh she still is except now that’s she’s older her overactive imagination can kinda get her into trouble. a good example of that is the fact that since she’s so keen to see the silver linings in life and the bright sides, she can neglect the bad sides of people and situations so things still fit into her romanticized vision /: this was the cause for many heartbreaks in theo’s life, and she’s still guilty of doing this although she’s trying to work on it !
very much the kind of person to treat everyone like a friend ( that means strangers too ) until you prove you should be treated otherwise. it takes a lot for her to not fuck with you, so if she doesn’t like you then you probably did something to deserve it /: she’s always had a curious personality as well so it’s really easy for her to connect with people just because she’s constantly fascinated by what she doesn’t know about a person. sometimes it can make ppl uncomfortable just how casually she can have a deep convo, but she just never had that filter where she has to know you for 5 years before she opens up about her trauma </3 you know how when bp’s rose and red velvet’s joy had dinner for the first time rose made joy cry bc she was talking abt her family and stuff ? JSDBWBDW theo is rose ... she’s out there sharing trauma deepening that bond day 1 of knowing you baby !  🤧
despite all that she’s still kind of maintained this elusive air to her? it’s not like she does it on purpose, or like no one knows the real her, it’s more like just when you’ve learned one new thing about her you realize there’s that many more things you don’t know. it also doesn’t help the fact that she’s constantly romanticizing everything, most of all herself, so she’s really crafted this “dream girl” persona without fully realizing it. im not exaggerating when i say john green wants what she has </3 
a lot of times people see her as naive, not because she often sees the good in people or anything like that ( although she does ), but because she has this overwhelming sureness that everything works out in the end. to be fair though, for her, things usually do. call it good karma, luck, whatever you want, but the fact of the matter is even when it looks like there’s no way a situation can turn out well for her, somehow it does. it’s a healthy combination of money, privilege, and a charming personality but to theo it’s proof that she’s right.
naturally.....as an air sign JSBDJWBJWBD she’s a huge flirt ! the media’s always linking her to someone because she really makes it seem like she’s dating half of hollywood when the reality is she’s just being friendly. when she actually likes someone it kind of turns into a huge deal like she gets infatuated with her crushes, swears she’s in love — and then poof. one day she wakes up & realizes she’s kinda over it ... until the next person comes along of course <3
hates conflict and confrontation.....and i mean HATES it to the point where she doesn’t even confront stuff within herself ( i.e. “negative” feelings like sadness ) until one day it all bubbles over and she’s having a legit breakdown and dying her hair red. 
yes, that’s exactly what happened last year, although if you ask theo about it she’ll just be like aha what do you mean i just wanted red hair luv x 
pictures like these ( click ! ) of theo when she'd be walking around LA in her school uniform used to go viral on twitter. 
desperately wishes she was the type of singer ppl would throw their bras at on stage when the reality is she’s out there making some chill bedroom pop kind of stuff so rip that dream </33333 
knows how to play the piano and the guitar, but keeps joking one day she’s gonna make an album and only use her recorder as the instrumentals.
has a white british longhair kitty named zoe.
is 100% that bitch that can only drink sweet drinks & fruity cocktails and u know what she’s valid for it ! 
if she wasn’t famous she’d be making slime. legit running a slime making insta, those were her guilty pleasure & shes so mad they aren’t that popular anymore JSBDJWBDJW
u know that post that’s like “i hate making tea i always feel so bad about throwing away the tea bag i feel like i should just eat it” ? thats theo 
━  ˙ ˖  ☆     WANTED CONNECTIONS !
BEST FRIENDS: a power duo the public either loves or hates, ride or dies, that 1 person theo would drop everything for no matter what.....yeah 🥺 they’d be the person she’s closest to & vice versa !   
CHILDHOOD / FAMILY FRIENDS: their famous parents were friends, so it’s only natural they wanted their kids to be friends too. just imagine the stories ..... the memories .... maybe they got along really well and are still friends today ! or maybe theo pushed your muse off of the swings ( she claims it was an accident ) and your muse never forgot and to this day they’re sworn enemies.....</3 or less dramatic......they just drifted apart and now it’s like hey we used to be so close aha thats awkward let me just smile at you and walk away ....
LIKE SIBLINGS: someone who sees theo as a sister, and who theo considers her unofficial sibling. most likely she’s gonna bother the shit out of this person as siblings do but they really mean a lot to her because it’s the family she never had /: 
CONFIDANTS: the one person theo keeps finding herself talking about the things she usally keeps inside with. i think it’d be funny if both of them find it weird to do things like go out to lunch or shop together because that’s not what they’re used to !
ACQUAINTANCES: friends who are only really friends when both of them are wasted or friends who only comment heart eye emojis and fire sign emojis under each others insta posts but don’t actually talk much for whatever reason
FRIENDS THAT DATED: maybe things just ended amiably between them, or maybe it’s like an “everyone told us we should date so we tried it and boy was that the weirdest thing we ever did” situation. either way the outcome is they’e still friends <3
CAHOOTS: what is this u may ask ? someone theo can be in cahoots with. she has a dumb idea that no one else is likely to say yes to? she goes to ur muse. ur muse has an idea no one in their right mind would say yes to? they go to theo. these two are in cahoots !  
BAD INFLUENCE: although that america’s sweetheart reputation is gone, overall theo is still seen as a “good girl” by the public. she’s not one to be in a lot of scandals so i think it’d be really fun if your muse is corrupting that ( whether they’re doing it on purpose or not ) and whenever theo’s with them she just somehow always manages to end up in trouble. 
THE BIG EX: theo’s first real relationship, and first real heartbreak. everyone before them had been an infatuation, but your muse was the real deal. maybe the media ruined it, or they ruined it themselves by being too scared of their feelings to stick around, or maybe one of them was willing to try but the other wasn’t. either way it ended badly, and whether those feelings are resolved or not....thats a secret i’ll never tell x
SUMMER FLINGS: give me past & current ( or maybe even recurring ) summer flings where they both know it’s temporary but boy is it fun while it lasts. google their names together and you’ll find paparazzi snapshots on the backs of vespas, on million dollar yachts, holding hands in museums or sunbathing on the beach but by the time fall comes creeping in the romance is over. 
HOOKUPS: friends with benefits and it’s not awkward between them, friends with benefits and it’s super weird between them because they may be crossing over into real feeling territory, one night stands / hookups that were huge mistakes, one night stands or hookups that were or are being kept secret from the rest of the roses for whatever reason, someone who leads theo on but never gets serious about her, or someone she leads on but she never gets serious about, her go-to hookup on a night out when she’s partying, etc. 
WILL THEY WON’T THEY: a friendship that always teeters on the line of something romantic ! maybe they’re both oblivious to the chemistry / tension or maybe they’re aware of it because they get jealous when they hear about the other being with someone else… maybe they refuse to do anything about it because they don’t want to complicate things or maybe they purposefully cross lines when they feel that jealousy…..could be more angsty or it could be more wholesome depending on which way it goes 😈
ARTIST TO ARTIST: i don’t think .... we have any other singers / ppl in the music industry but i could for sure be wrong JSBDSJBDJWD but ! i still would love to have people theo’s worked with before. maybe if your muses has been acting since they were little, theo could have mingled with them back when she was doing music for kids shows & movies. maybe your muse is a model and theo and them have done shoots together before. maybe theo’s written a current song for a movie / tv show your muse was a part of. maybe your muse is a model and theo asked them to feature on the cover of one of her albums. maybe she hired your muse to act in the music video of one of her songs ! maybe your muse can also sing even though that’s not their main thing and theo’s asked them to feature on a song with her. there are soooo many possibilities that could be lots of fun <33
MISC: “we used to party together all the time until that one thing happen that neither of us talk about and now we don’t do that anymore”, someone who took care of drunk theo once and ever since then she’s taken that as an open invitation to knock on your muse’s door at 3 am completely wasted, “we tried to date but the paparazzi caught us on a date and we were too scared / sick of the public eye so we never got far”, flirty friends who say no i’d never sleep with you haha…unless you’re down?, your muse was theo’s first time OR theo was your muse’s first time, stereotypical happy go lucky and grumpy relationship where the grumpy muse pretends not to enjoy the other’s presence, enemies but it can’t be anything petty it would have to be pretty serious so if u want that drama.... 
that’s the end i promise it’s finally over 😭😭😭 i truly just ramble & ramble im really so sorry abt that JSDJWBDJWBDJWBDJW i tried to include as much info as possible to make plotting a little easier for all of us so lets pray this works </3 u can come message me on discord to plot @ seulgi ily ʕ´• ᴥ•̥`ʔ#8172 so give this a like if u wanna .... do that ahahahaha x

Boots reads Homestuck Epilogue(s) Part 5 - Meat Page 7
==>
Tumblr media
Okay, time for Rose and Dirk to talk delicious politics or something.
Heh, customary show-end riots.
Rose, stop causing all of us undue alarm.
Ascending? Is she going to fade out into a concept or something???
Oh shit, Dirk’s doing something similar.  Some sort of inevitability once God-Tier is reached or some such.
Dirk has a solution to the problem in the works.  That’s... well, Rose already cautioned that that could be ominous.  I hope it doesn’t involve decapitation.  Or robot bodies, or turning her into an omniscient cueball or something.
==>
Okay, stage play time.  I can see a weird-seeming text color choice for Caliborn down below, hm.  Time to read down to there...
Ah, the classic finale-callback thumbs down.  Nice.
...yeah, reinforcing the point he was trying to make a little less explicitly with his earlier finale of Homestuck that Lord English had really just, sort of, trapped them in this narrative that their ultimate reward would be to escape, realizing it never really mattered too much compared to their own long lives and happiness or something.
==>
Epilogue TWO??????  D:
Okay now it’s, like, Andrew commenting isn’t it.
Oh shit, it DOES suck them up and trap them? Huh. That explains how Jade was dealt with, I’d forgotten. Also because it was one of the huge goddamn unanswered fucking hugepoints that made it seem like a slap in the face when we were told it didn’t matter and-- yeah okay let me just keep reading.
Huh, broken glasses.
And, phew; the ages it takes is from an OUTSIDE perspective.  Let’s see what it is from an inside perspective...
==>
Jaaaane!!! :D
Okay let’s read about Janey.
Mhmm, that’s not that surprising... Dirk knew that Karkat was going to run against Jane, but Jane didn’t, even though Dirk was ostensibly “working” for her.  There’s definitely a plan here.  Maybe it involves Jane and Karkat smooching publicly at the end.  ...No, that’s just my wishful imagination talking, isn’t it.
Oh my god she’s screaming into a pillow at hearing she has competition.  That’s adorable.
YES, JANE.  UNDERESTIMATE KARKAT.  YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM LIKE EVERYONE ELSE (though probably platonically).  It does upset me that they’ve taken this long to really get acquainted, though; I’ve argued for years that their personalities are naturally compatible as the straight men for all their friends’ bullshit.
In fact, Jane is pretty sure that Karkat Vantas would probably literally burst into flame if too many people happened to look at him at the same time, like a vampire walking out into the sun.
Yes, but he’d get over it.  And be a flaming president or something.
In fact, Jane cannot remember a single conversation she’s ever had with him that wasn’t about the economy. She thinks back to one time at John’s eighteenth birthday when Dave engaged her in a rigorous and rather one-sided debate about deregulation and the failure of “neoliberal austerity measures” until Karkat had to come over and put his hands over his roommate’s mouth to make him stop talking.
Oh my FUCKING god, it’s true.  Dave’s appropriately liberal in the modern, Krugman-esque, statistically grounded way.  Karkat has my vote already.
She’d be happy to accept a graceful, temporary defeat and let Karkat play president for a couple of years. After all, unlike her, he was not immortal.
Hey fuck you.  Also, why the FUCK haven’t they used one of the myriad likely ways to extend Karkat’s lifespan basically indefinitely yet???  Heck, JANE could probably do it with Life powers if she crawled back out of her own butt!  We already know the Condesce could extend other trolls’ lifespans with weird troll powers so Life powers are almost certainly enough to suffice.  >:(
Ohhh, so maybe Jane is just, like... slightly traumatized by trolls? And thus a little tiny bit predisposed against trusting them cause of the Condesce? :(
Interesting how she views her past reliance on / pursuance of Jake as something that made her “weak” specifically.
Okay, I’m getting a slightly uncomfortable vibe that Jane is willing to almost play at seduction with Jake falsely to get his endorsement on--
And she’s willing to do more than that, too.
Okay FUCK, JANE.  GET YOURSELF UNDER CONTROL.  I’m starting to believe the shittalking the others have given about you!  You’d better shape up by the end of this epilogue or what have you.
==>
Okay, trapped John can hear the other three through the walls of their prison or something.
Conversation and musings, conversation and musings.....
Wait, Jade LIVES with Dave and Karkat in that SAME HOUSE and they didn’t even mention it??!??  What is even up with their thing.
Heh, John’s thinking he really could have used a nice kismesis riling him up to better himself.  That’s what they’re for, really.
There there, John.
==>
Oh my fucking GOD, Jane rolls with supply side economics???  TAKE.  HER.  DOWN.
And Jade is just... here?  Huh.
Yeah they DEFS weren’t listening.
JADE: especially when JADE: there are much better things we could all be doing with our mouths.....
HOLY SHIT.  HOLY SHIT.  JADE IS SO INTO EITHER OF THEM THAT THEY CAN’T TAKE IT, CAN THEY.  THAT’S FUCKING AMAZING OH MY GOD
Her tail swishes from side to side
SINCE WHEN DOES SHE HAVE A FUCKING TAIL HOW IS THAT SUDDENLY CANON
I’M NOT MAD IM JUST SURPRISED
Wasn’t that something that the ask-responses from Andrew said she canonically DIDN’T have or what the fuck
Since I guess it wasn’t confirmed IN CANON he just decided he liked it enough to offer it here or???? I DON’T KNOW????
Wow why am I all worked up by this all of a sudden.  It’s just transferring from her earlier line isn’t it.
three of her bras
Okay no nevermind Andrew’s just fucking with us.
...Even though this can probably still be considered canon.  Which only makes how he’s fucking with us work even better, really.  I mean, why WOULDN’T he lob this at us on the ten year anniversary and watch us squirm, really.  There’s no incentive not to.
--oh wait wait never mind reading further these are just bras from different days she threw over the couch.  PHEW.  I thought for a second that we were dealing with dog anatomy stuff that would REQUIRE multiple bras on her.  Jesus.  I wonder if Andrew intentionally phrased things so some people would think that for a minute.
JADE: also you know trolls dont actually have two dicks dave thats an offensive stereotype
Pffffff
Wait, is it that Dave and Karkat’s relationship isn’t quite full-hearts sexual and Jade is incessantly shipping them?? :O
because that’d be hilarious too??  --*reads*
YESSSS JADE BEING SUPER STAT WHIZ WITH HER SUPER PARTOMNIDOG SPACE BRAIN YES
The thing about Jade Harley is that she’s not as good at personal things as she is at other things. Like science, or mastering fraymotifs, or kissing, the last of which she has definitely put a lot of levels into over the past few years because, well, what else are you supposed to do with immortal godhood once you hit the age where the dog hormones start kicking into overdrive? 
f uck
dog hormones
i’m wheezing
Alright, Jade’s springing a thorough relationship talk on them.  That’s cool.  Also she’s throwing statistics in there and I LOVE that now that Jade is older we’re reinforcing just how scary science smart she is, I can’t wait to see other people roleplaying her properly because of it too.
...Yeah Jade would definitely date a chess couple
Jade sighs and crawls closer. She takes one of Karkat’s hands in hers.
JADE: i think wed all work good together
AAAAAAAA :D :D :D
JADE: and i think weve been dancing around that for years now JADE: i wanna try dating for real KARKAT: HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED KARKAT: SORRY IF WHAT I’M ABOUT TO SAY TOTALLY BLOWS YOUR MIND KARKAT: DATING A SINGLE PERSON, FOR MORE THAN HALF A SWEEP, FOR REASONS OTHER THAN INITIATING THE CONCUPISCENT EXCHANGE OF FLUIDS?
PFFFFFFFFFFFFF OH MY FUCKING GOD THIS IS PERFECT
Jade being
literally the thirstiest person in this ENTIRE CAST OF CHARACTERS
to the point that everyone’s calling her out on it
in something that’s virtually goddamn canon
holy fucking shit I love everything.  I love life.  Living in a universe where this hilarious shit happens is fun.
....pFFFF JADE DIDN’T KNOW OBAMA WAS REAL THIS IS AMAZING
Ooh, dueling god-tier powers for petty reasons.
OH NO DICK DRAWINGS ARE LIKELY IMMINENT
THAT OR A CHART
OR BOTH
...yeah her hair would get everywhere, wouldn’t it.
yes make fun of ship names some more
What Jade leaves in her wake is not quite the emotional scorched-earth situation that she was going for, but a few of her needles have definitely gotten under some skin. Dave and Karkat both stare after her, silently caught in their own private rationalization spirals.
So this whole time Jade’s been all “JUST KISS ALREADY” and they’ve been all “what no” and now she’s just laid it all out in the open and left them to it.  Yeah that sounds about like what would’ve happened.
Aaaand of course, since this is Dave and Karkat, they just choose to stall some more and play video games.  Jade really DOES complete this relationship with her pushing them to accept reality and stop downplaying their own feelings and self-esteem and all.  But that’s what I thought would happen BEFORE I even read any epilogue stuff so I’m biased.
==>
Pff, Vriska time.
You’ve now got two bitches of either gender at your side
Vriska, shame!  Don’t use that kind of language!!
Yep, this version of her didn’t learn her lesson and is still pretty much completely delusional.
Alright, Real Terezi™ is still flying out in the abyss trying to scoop Vriska out of this jam, cool, cool.
Flailing and spinning, screaming, not being able to see the final event or whatever-- someone save her already we know it’s gonna happen!
JOHN: Emerge from the juju.
Oh.  Well, that’s uncomfortably in line with earlier presumably-discredited theories.  About John saving Vriska from the black hole the Green Sun left in its wake and all.  :|
Yawns too wide and snaps in half?  The moment he was dreaming about?
==>
Oh hai Jake.  This really IS the perfect time to get to see some attempted-exploitative discomfort between Jane and you.  I mean that!  The narrative timing is pretty hilarious.
The sunset has turned the head offices of Crockercorp into a shimmering glass monolith—a beacon, if you will, of the future, visible for miles in every direction.
Jane probably likes to think about it that way at least.
Wow, Jane REALLY sounds like she needs to be knocked down a peg or seven.
The whole place is candlelit, and Jane is reclining on her desk, sprawled out like a lounge singer on a grand piano.
OH MY FUCKING GOD JANE STOP BEING A SLIMEBAG!!!! D: D: D:
Thank you, Jake, for coming through and tanking this.
This is not really the kind of conversation you initiate if you’re looking to extract a sexual deal out of someone. It is, however, the kind of conversation that you might have with a childhood friend who has become somewhat emotionally estranged from you.
THANK FUCKING GOD.  Jane has been saved from herself for the moment.
Okay I see a whole bunch of paragraphs of black text down below just as these two are likely coming together for a kiss.  Uh oh.
...Yep, kiss there.  And, uh...
Okay whew, most of it is Jake privately soliloquy-ing to the narrative about the circumstances leading up to this. I can deal with that.
...Oh my god he keeps thinking of Dirk while getting in close to Jane.  This is gonna blow up in his face isn’t it.
Reading on....
--Ah, yeah, he just realizes he’s more into Dirk I guess.  Ouch.  Ouch, Jane.
DIRK: Were you nice to him? JANE: Well, I... DIRK: I told you, you can’t be nice to Jake. JANE: ...
PPFffffffffff
DIRK: Why don’t you leave Jake to me?
Now ain’t that telling?
Ooh, getting down to plot business with Rose.
==>
Back to John.  I see a bit that says “Listen” there, is he going to hear Vriska screaming? Or is Terezi going to pick her up? Since, like, I mean she has the jetpack and has been searching for her longer and stuff.
Yep, big ol’ LE tantrum.  Though alt!Calliope seems at least as much at fault for the end of the universe as him, if not moreso.
Ah, right, Andrew wanted us to THINK he’d hear Vriska screaming just so he could troll us like that.  Makes more sense, anyway.
Huh, the Juju just pops away.
OW.  Down a spare Rose, just like that, huh?  Probably part of why main Rose knew what the plan was supposed to be for all this.
Ah right, can’t use your Green Sun powers here, Jade.
OW.  Another quasi-doomed side-character death.
Yep, you have to make a tough, leaderly decision and let go.  :C  --Oh crap, you saved her body.  Are you gonna put the ring there or what, I’m not sure where that’s going plotways.
Pff, the whole fight going south just due to John losing his glasses... that’s pretty funny from a perspective.
Oh huh, real ghost Tavros gets nuked.
Oh shit, Meenah’s going in!  Don’t die, I actually care about this version of you!!
--Ah, thrown out and fate unclear, that’s a bit better than clear death.
Hm, Davepeta vs English round two?  I wonder what the purpose of all of this really is, anyway, beyond just a sense that some only implied-wrapped-up things are being actually wrapped up?  This whole Meat arc?  Is Candy going to be ultimately more important to everyone, as was part of the point, or?  Huhhm.
Final Round!!
Hammer buffet!
Slight obligatory feelings allusion via hammer!
Oh no! VORE!!! D:
DAVEPETASPRITE^2: B33 < wrow you almost got vored to death
Phew, avoided
Ow, another decapitation.  There’s a killing blow and being trapped forever in a black hole for LE to look forward to, though.  Weren’t there theories about him being trapped forever at the center of that black hole or whatever?  Huh.  I mean there WAS the garbage disposal that his metaphorical Jigsaw-head gets stuck in early in the comic after all.
Alright, Davepeta sticks him in there?  Cool.
Yeah, you just had to remind us that he’s going to be plunging into his dead sister’s gaping hole, didn’t you? >:|
Davepeta. How they were so unfettered and brave. How they sacrificed themselves by flying right into the black hole like...
Like a fucking piece of garbage, you can almost hear Dave saying. May God rest his soul.
Yup.  Closing another callback.  Why is it silent, though?  Did the black hole stop sucking now that it’s gotten almost everything but John, or is it just his blackout?  I mean, is the end of everything just a thing that “happens” (which is still pretty fine, Paradox Space had a pretty good run), or did it just stop, or is it yet to be resolved or re-John-creates-Paradox-Space’s-beginning-because-hes-the-only-thing-left-constituted if he inexplicably doesn’t die from his heroic wounds or?  And Terezi definitely didn’t go flying around Paradox Space’s dying remains just to get sucked in too, right?  I definitely haven’t seen the whole picture yet I guess.
==>
Alright, back to Rose... actually this post’s getting long so I’ll cut here and keep going in another post.

ok ! it me lily again and here’s intro numero dos ! meet elijah parker ( check out his stats page here and his wc tag here ) who is a completely new muse so this intros gonna be mad dumb but like ... idk i have no excuse , let’s just *marvin gaye vc* get it on . 
* aubrey josepy , tweny one , cismale — hey , have you seen elijah parker anywhere ? i’m hearing sabotage by the beastie boys so he must be around here somewhere . hm , maybe they’re at home in gastown or at college . they’re a working student , y’know . people also call them the dirtbag ‘cause they can be pretty abrasive & reckless . but others say they’re also resourceful & calm , so i guess it balances out .
i’m gonna kermit bc elijah’s pretty much just .. steven hyde from that 70s show but im taking him in a different direcTION OK dont yell at me pls ,,
background
— born in vancouver , elijah’s parents got pregnant with him at a really young age , like .. 18 :/ and so his mom dipped on him and his dad a couple months after he was born
— when elijah was eight ,  his dad realized he couldn’t do this by himself so he ... dipped too sdsfnfknd and left elijah with his older sister 
— it was good though cause she ! actually had wanted kids of her own but didn’t want a man cause like ........ obv but ANYWAYS like elijah loves his aunt sm , he feels like he owes her everything . if it weren’t for her , elijah would probably be on the streets right now , a high school drop out .. like she put elijah on that straight and narrow !
— but like , not completely straight cause uk ... he an ~individualist~ . a total rebel , 0 trust for the government , conspiracy nut , lowkey a genius but acts dumber than he is . like , what’s a book ? idk . probably has committed arson . intolerant , sarcastic , definitely an asshole , srry .
— so anyways , even though he really didn’t want to , his aunt made him go to university and study something she thinks he’d be really successful at which was architecture . cause , surprise ! elijah’s the total artsy type , loves to draw , (insert graphic design is my passion meme here) , sims anyone ? yanno , dumb stuff like that .
connections
— friends in uni ! elijah ... probably doesn’t have a lot cause he sucks but a brotp would be super cute ! dumb & dumber , y’know ?
— okay , this isn’t me tryna ship right off the bat , i swear . i’m a lady , i like BUILDUP but !!!! give me the jackie burkhart to this steven hyde .... the princess to the .. idk , dragon ? that’s kinda gross but like just the total baby doll , spoiled brat type so they can irritate each other OR he can have an unrequited crush on .. just make him suffer pls
— coworkers at the vinyl store , let ‘em be ugli music elitists together .
— hookups / exes . he’s gross , there’s probably a lot .
— half siblings , either from his mom or dad . this one’s sad , he’ll be real sad if he meets them and find out . give me this pls .
— someone he messes w , maybe someone a lil softer , naive , that he’s always taking advantage of in a sense playing pranks on them , like maybe they’re friends and elijah lets them be the fall guy , y’know ?? it cld get ugly....
— oh !! roommates pls .. if ur muse lives in a crappy apartment in gastown and is okay living w a gross messy dude , hmu .......
— ugh , someone he actually cares about .. #gross . but like in a big brother typa way ? cause he’s technically an only child .. just someone he shows his soft side to ..
— anything else ! if you have any other ideas or maybe we shld just surprise ourselves and completely do it chem based , that’s cool too ! i’m literally down for anything !!
okay that’s all i can come up with at three am , don’t judge me . but this whole intro is literally so ugly like i don’t want to look at this anymore . i’m sorry you had to but pls plot w me anyways

starting college
random things i hope to relay upon ye younguns starting school in the next few days:
random thing i was thinking about for high school, the thing i regret most (outside the not taking time to learn waht i want/spending so much time stressing over the SAT/other things like that) is not taking AP Stats. In college, i now realize how important stats is and how applicable it is to literally every single science endeavor. Learn basic stats pls
for college/eh heh mit is starting orientation in a few days isnt it
rooms w/o AC can be hot. i just want you to think about that for a few minutes. my room in mcc is generally around 78 degrees at night with a fan, so adjust accordingly~
take the swim test early. if you put it off, it will take a lot of activation energy later in the semester or year to do it on a random day when you are much more likely to be hosed. take it during orientation or FPOP week when people there are also much more used to confused freshmen
talk to people as much as you can. make small talk, or find people with similar interests and capitalize. introduce yourself to people you meet but dont feel bad about going to events by yourself! a great place to start would be your orientation group. these are people you will see for a few hours every day of this week, so might as well try to befriend some of them (note, if you’re going to parties across the river and that sort of thing, you might want to go with a friend, someone you think you would trust) but also dont feel like the group you venture out with is the group you are going to stay with forever and ever. lots of these people, more than likely, you will never see again after REX/orientation and that’s completely normal!
don’t stress about exams like the math diagnostic or ASE’s. honestly, people will have differing opinions on this, but i personally say if youre gonna go for ASE’s, don’t go for more than two. if you try to go for more than two, it’s possible you’ll get really stretched thin and not prep well for any of them. (of course, if you’ve taken college level courses and no i dont mean AP’s bc most high schools do not teach AP courses up to college level, esp here, i mean legit college level courses or done olympiads and all that, then yes, you will probably ace the ASE so disregard). but for real, you should enjoy orientation week and not stress too much because you’ll get enough of that during the year. also absolutely definitely do not go around bragging about the number you’re taking/passing, the other colleges you were choosing among, or anything like that. you’re all in the same place now, and its up to you to work together to survive the next four years.
GIR’s; take them your first semester on P/NR. this will help you meet other freshmen and form study/friend groups and also since these classes are geared towards freshmen, help you ease into the workload/life at school. Before buying textbooks, see if your dorm has a library where books are or upperclassmen willing to sell. Check out BookEx from APO or free and for sale on facebook. You should also consider if your class actually uses the textbook or if there’s a pdf online (for example, out of all the GIR’s i dont think i used a single textbook i paid for bc 8.02 was all online course notes, 5.11x i didnt use the book, 7.01x i used the pdf. i didnt take 18.02 idk anything about that class) I would cap at taking three technicals max and then definitely trying to take your CI-H/HW during the fall semester. of course, these are just my recs, go by what your advisor says.
treat REX seriously! FYRE is a really great place to find your community, which is very important here. Dorms including mcc this year have FYRE! within your living group, there may be lotteries or floor rushes that you should treat seriously too, so spend some time getting to know the dorms and floors of the school
do you see something on the rex schedule that looks absolutely crazy and trolly? do it
call home at some point - your parents/guardians/family left you on campus for the first time in your entire life probably and its a big step for them as much as it is for you. call them to tell them you’re ok, and even if you don’t miss them that much yet, they might miss you a lot already.
dont feel obligated to rush into an internship/urop you don’t want to do. do something you’re interested in and if you have any questions, ask someone! pester everyone until you get answers
good luck!!!! freshman year is a very exciting time and you guys should try to have some fun in the middle of all the class stuff. go out into the city and experience the local culture and meet different people. feel free to hit my inbox any time during the year, drink water, eat food, get enough sleep, learn a lot :)

ah i almsot forgot: warning, the following has mainly snarky opinions on Spirit of Justice. Reader discretion is advised.
and we’re back to our scheduled programming
time to be rendered unconscious against your will you lil shit
-
“i hardly think anyone could pass out from eating something like this”
clearly you dont know what world youre living in, Sadmad.
...also he... might be allergic, guys. ever thought of that? 
-
yes, EAT! EAT OR WE WILL HARASS YOU, POSSIBLY INNOCENT BYSTANDER!!! YOU THINK YOU HAVE RIGHTS???? CRAM THAT SHIT DOWN YOUR THROAT BEFORE I DO!!!!
-
...uh;
-
FIVE IS NOT AN OCCUPATION!!! EAT ANOTHER BUN AS PUNISHMENT!!!! REGRESS FURTHER!!!! HFKJGU;SUUSRSO 
coping jokes aside holy shit 
don’t hurt this tiny boy!!!
-
i hope you all feel guilty for being such pricks.
look at him. he's curled up under his jacket like a traumatized baby 
at least this personality... sort of aligns with how DID is supposed to work? But now i just feel even worse. Someone get that kid a teddy and a juice-box, stat!
-
“Its clear that none of his personalities could be the killer!”
A) one of the three could still be lying
B) there’s four so far, what’s to discount a fifth? triggered by... i dunno, a reefer brownie.
C) I'm actually glad he's not the killer anyway just wanted to point out the possibilities youre discounting there
-
i love that theyre playing the goofy X people music for a traumatized five year old who witnessed a horrific murder of a loved one.
-
“I believe the person who laid the cards out is the very person who killed the victim” WELL.... DOY.
-
“How quickly you move onto a new theory when your old theory proves false!”
WELL.......... DOY
-
I love that theyre all just yelling and screaming about murder while the tiny child cowers behind the bench
hello??? anybody with compassion anywhere? maybe in the gallery? a bailiff? anybody???
-
“his emotions are spiralling out of control! something must have really frightening him”
maybe 
THE FUCKING MURDER????
athena youre a psychologist; dont you know anything about calming people down or at least putting them at ease? youre gonna put scars on this kid’s scars!
i mean at least Cody Hackins was fairly fearless and defiant about what happened to him and only really broke down once it dawned on him what he’d actually seen. Owen is clearly very, very upset.
-
i passed out *image promptly closes eyes*
-
“poor kid, he's absolutely terrified of something”
KDJFKLDGDGL
“whatever it is, it might be the root of his out of control emotions!”
DSHFA;SLGHOHSO GIRSHG’ 
-
“see, all we got out of this boy is a tale he dreamt up”
fuck off sadmad
-
(sigh) Owen’s on his side, Shisho’s laying down, just get to it already
-
“rotating your thinking about?”
“oh! you mean turning your thinking around!”
“yeah, whatever...”
(SNERK)
-
“like the forehead, perhaps”
is that... just a random location or is it actually going to come true
also, back at the office, Apollo winces and he can’t figure out why
-
oh yeah its definitely gonna come back.
-
WHOA; OK, MANHANDLING 
MANHANDLING, NOT GOOD
STEP AWAY FROM THE ATTORNEY, BLACKQUILL
yeah just fucking manhandle the stressed out anxious girl. you piece of shit.  i knew me being your friend wouldn’t fuckin last.
-
“MOTIVE, OPPORTUNITY, EVIDENCE??? IS THAT ALL IT TAKES TO MAKE YOU STOP BELIEVING IT YOUR CLIENT?!”
to be fuckin fair, cuckoo, thats usually what loses most cases.
-
would phoenix manhandle athena?? would he berate her and shake her into doing her best?? i highly doubt it.
-
“prosecutor blackquill was just giving me a pep talk, thats all!”
athena thats unhealthy
-
legitimately simon’s been nothing but unpleasant this entire time. its fun to watch him wreck sadmad’s shit but he needs to keep the hell away from athena. whatever protective, elder-brotherly instincts he had for her in DD seem to have stayed in DD.
-
man I'm looking back at my previous commentary and i was. i was just so optimistic. how foolish. franziska, bring down your lash upon this foolishly foolish fool.
atcuall dont i bruise like a peach
-
jeez now I'm imagining Super Dad™ Phoenix Wright cross examining Owen with Athena instead and it’s melting my cold, hard heart
-
“unfortunately, i spy nothing of the sort”
again Sadmad acts like if he doesn't see the answer, then it’s nonexistent 
not very monk-y of you, Sadmad.
-
gotta admit, i love this unique murder weapon
ive actually nearly suffocated under soft, cold, gloopy stuff and lemme tell you, its not fun.
-
...i love that simon took that logic-attack for us 
maybe the animators just wanted to play his OH SHIT animation again 
-
i know it looks like i pick on everything but in fact i edit these down. sometimes i take out whole statements because i rationalize them and realize that theyre actually plausible and i let them slide. so just, y’know. if you think I'm just blindly going at it, i am actually giving this game the benefit of the doubt. you just dont see it.
...if you read these
...uh
-
they used the pre-prepped noodles in the fridge. c’mon guys, as athena would say: Andale!
-
“perhaps the victim was simply playing with the cards, and they hold no other meaning”
oh NOW THEY COULD BE UNRELATED TO THE CASE
OF COURSE, NOW THAT IT’S CONVENIENT TO YOU
you sack’a shit
-
nice cliffhanger, kid.
Oh well; I’m partially glad that the poor lil guy can get a rest, and partially upset that his last two surfaces put him through intense anguish. maybe get Uendo drunk and go to the theatre or something, guys. poor baby could use a pick-me-up.
-
n no–– rise from the ashes flashbacks–– RISE FROM THE ASHES FLASHBACKS
THE LUNCHBOXES
SO MANY LUNCHBOXES
AAAAAHHHHhhhhi gotta give bucky a hand; being drunk and riding a skateboard while supporting a tower of bentos isn’t an easy feat
-
ew slurping 
-
and simon extends his douchiness to the guys he's even shafting Athena for.
just, fuckin, lighten the fuck UP simon, CHRIST
-
TIDDIES
seriously tho; we haven’t had a proper boob joke in ages. actually Geiru kinda reminds me of April May...
 Meanwhile we’ve had several testicle references, a drunk guy, and the bloodiest overarching plot the series has ever had. I think we’ve left Ace behind and graduated to Edge Attorney
-
 to be fair the judge could totally be talking about her actual rubber balloons, considering his childlike personality at times. so maybe ITS YOU, SADMAD, WHO’S THE VULGAR ONE!
GET YOUR MIND OUTTA THE GUTTER!!
-
bloooon. i think Drifloon says that, too. Is that a japenese onomatopoeia or something? 
-
ooh he sadMad
heh
i guess its up to simon’s brilliant mind tricks to save us again..?
...yehhhh i knew it
-
...huh. didnt expect that. impressive use of air...sword... skill. 
-
IM NOT A KOORAHEENIST, SHE’S NOT GONNA HEAR ME ANYWAY.
-
i know what theyre building up and yes, i am super excited to see all those balloons pop
-
...i gotta ask tho, why does Athena think those balloon animals are bad?? theyre extremely intricate and they look a lot more like the thing she promised than most of the ones ive seen.
-
aw no the cake disappeared. i want a huge explosion at the end!!
-
“I’ma cut ya, witch!”
...
.....
........
i uh, i have to um,,,,,,, go now
-
SHES GONNA CUT OFF A TIT
GIRD YERSELF ATHENA
-
me, into my DS mic: HOLD IT. Hold IT. Hold it. hold it... hold it... bold it
athena; HOLD IT 
-
simon: athena youre stupid do something. I'm not helping you.
simon: this time I'm going to do something, but god forbid you dont run with it
i dont think we’ve ever had a co counsel add something to the testimony for us before. we’ve had them hint at answers and interrupt trials to get us out of tight spots, but never directly ordering something like that. Guess that proves just how highly BK thinks of Athena’s abilities......
-
ooh the cakes back and there was a pop
im super ready for this
-
shit thats a strong balloon. i wouldn’t advice biting very thing plastic...
-
............
the... fuck???
sadmad: here is what will prove that Geiru IS NOT the murderer!
(geiru reveals buckwheat allergy and ACUAL RED HAND)
how the fuck does that help your case, Sadmad?? We know that the killer used the dough to kill the master by suffocating him with it. Pointing out that she came into contact with the dough, WITH HER HANDS, IS PROVING SHE DID IT.
YOU JUST GOT HER CAUGHT LITERALLY RED-HANDED.
HOW DOES THIS HELP YOUR CASE??????
-
ok well apparently she could die just by being in the room but if we look at how badly her hand has reacted, and is still reacting, Geiru should probably have at least some difficulty talking if “breathing in the flour” was dangerous. If her hand reacted that badly from minor contact, her throat should be shut like a steel trap. what I'm saying is, she’s probably lying about the severity.
-
“As if I would do anything so underhanded”
oh sad-‘trigger my enemies into yielding’-mad, youre hilarious 
-
y’know i just realized, it is a little insensitive of Taifu to make/buy/keep soba around the place. if Geiru is this deadly allergic, he’s risking killing her simply because he can’t give up his precious noodles. thats like living with someone with a deadly peanut allergy and being all “can’t get enough of my PBnJ!!”
-
its time for
Off!
Brand!
Logic!!!!
-
oh. its not. ...ok
-
hang on didnt she say the dough was udon already, or am i misremembering? if she did and everyone just forgot, thats a little sad.
anyway, i guess thats... an alright twist. i still say that saying your witness is allergic to something and showing a reaction on the body part associated with the murder is stupid thing to do.
-
“dont lose your nerve now. keep charging forward or you'll feel my blade at your back”
I'm just gonna let that speak for itself.
-
ah THERES the off brand logic. and we’re finally gonna talk about those fucking noodles in the fridge. its been a long time coming.
-
i like that ‘ramen’ is a third choice every time
-
that was a pretty involved murder. “alright, kill the old man, hmm hmm... make a dish that i’m deathly allergic to to throw of the scent; just gotta get the cooking! make sure Uendo doesn’t wake up and catch me in the act~~ get rid of the dough in a way that is probably time consuming, lalala~ and there! Blooooon, the perfect crime!”
how much time did she have??
-
also how much blood did she lose form that knick on her forehead? if its enough to permeate an entire clump of dough, she should probably need a transfusion.
-
simon: dog pun. have you figured out the twist yet???? DOG PUN, BY THE WAY. JUST SO YOU KNOW.
-
all the balloons are there. its time.
-
seriously, thats gotta be a lot of blood. I'm getting Gingerdead Man flashbacks.
-
“i wanna thank you, simon. without your constant abuse, i wouldn’t have been scared enough to succeed for fear of what would happen if i failed!”
-
...its a bit premature for breakdown animations; the police haven't gotten back to us about the dough...
-
...i didnt like this balloon explosion as much as i thought i was going to. this is kinda just... uncomfortable.
-
you know, she shouldn’t have resorted to murder or blaming the crime on an innocent, but I feel like Taifu should’ve.... I dunno, either Trained her properly or let her down easy instead of forcing her to be a sexy balloon clown.
It’s clear she really, really wanted to succeed her father’s name, (which I'm a little confused about; was he one of Taifu’s students? What is Uendo’s real name then? what is any of their real names...) so I’m sure that if she just practiced enough, she’d probably be able to do what she needed to get to that level of entertainment. And if she couldn’t, letting her down easy and encouraging her to find something she actually liked instead of making her do... um... balloons would probably be a whole lot less nasty.
also wtf uendo; what did whet ever do to you
man all of these people were kind of dicks. except bucky. the guy who came to his trial drunk.
-
Sadmad: Hmm.... upon further deliberation... seeing as you won... I believe I shall afford you a basic sense of human respect.................. 
Athena: thats all I ask, prosecutor sadmahdi!
-
heyy he’s sobered up! or should I say... SOBA’D UP AAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH but seriously i don’t think they’ve said drunk or hungover once in this entire case what the fu
-
“no way... i almost got convicted out of convenience?” you, larry butz, maggey byrde and a shit tonne of other characters in the series. its actually a fairly common occurrence.
-
“he didn’t give her the name because he wanted geiru to find her own calling in life...”
...you know. after foisting a sexy balloon routine on her. to encourage her to quite entertainment. 
obviously Taifu was using the Simon Blackquill approach to encouragement.
“making udon was his way of showing his support of her in her new endeavour”
...what does that... mean
“oh, i’ll make safe dough instead of the stuff THAT KILLS HER to prove that i support her!”
genius
-
“So this entire situation happened because of a misunderstanding? How sad...”
i think you mean,,, hhhh
i hate misunderstanding plots so so much
-
this entire case is just “he was being an asshole to ENCOURAGE you, see!! now you HAVE to forgive him!!”
newsflash: no i dont. you know what works better than fear tactics, threats and coercion? 
BEING ACTUALLY SUPPORTIVE
-
“he probably used some tough love on you so that the shop wouldn’t just go belly up”
I SAID SUPPORTIVE. ARE YOU DEAF???
-
see? athena is being a little misguided but at least she's using a positive -food- to try to accomplish something.
“i’ll make sure its got all the TLC Master Toneido would’ve packed in it, too!”
you got it! one ice-cold, bitter, al-dente bowl with a side of vinegar, comin’ right up!
-
no athena!! brand loyalty!! mr eldoon will never forgive you!!!
-
“do us all proud, bucky”
or else
(flashes air sword)

Athena: I wonder if this gave me any experience as a lawyer...
Simon: HAHA WRONG, IF I HADN’T BEEN THERE YOU’D HAVE HAD THE SHIT KICKED OUT OF YOU. YOU SUCK, ATHENA, AND YOU DO EVERYTHING WRONG. FUCK YOU~!
see what annoys me about this is that when I first played Athena, I had some issues with her being too inexperienced to be a proper lawyer, especially with her court-related PTSD which could seriously endanger her clients.
However... Why are they bringing up her lack of experience in the one case (it’s not even a full case) in a game that isn’t even about her? And ignoring all the progress she made in Dual Destinies?
The way they’re talking about it is as if theyre setting up some kind of sequel; ‘you need to improve athena, you need to practice’. Which would have been all well and good for one of the cases in the first run of her own game... but Athena has been and continues to be a side character to Apollo and Phoenix. Rather than this moment coming at a crucial moment in her own game, it comes out of nowhere during a case she got last minute, couldn’t have prepared for, and is abused throughout.
what I'm saying is, the ghosts of DD past has come to haunt us. They introduced Athena too early and are bungling up her character development. Lawyers need a full set of games to let them grow. Just make an actual Apollo Justice 2 or Athena Cykes 1, but don’t insult us by pretending that this five minute shit actually did either of them justice.
-
Simon: I hope you stay shitty so that I can always win
brilliant.
you know, usually when a character is jerk with a heart of gold, that ‘heart of gold’ thing is supposed to show up at the end.
-
i was going to ignore the horrible joke but then Widget said “ROTFL”
what a... great way to end this....... great case
-
and so we close this one off, and for a case about tasty food, it sure left a bitter taste in my mouth.

P5R Liveblog (15/?)
School festival!
This is such a bad idea.
I really do think they should 1) invite Akechi, as the vote called for, through legitimate means (aka via Sae or potentially through me since, y'know. we hang out. We have a social link. I don't remember if I have his contact info but I think I remember seeing that brown square at some point so I think I do even if he usually doesn't contact me.
That said.
I also think that if we wanted to get Intel from him, as Phantom Thieves responding to his broadcast, we should 100% do an Alibaba and contact him that way. Why are we not doing that. WHY ARE WE NOT DOING THAT????
YOU REALLY DONT NEED HIM TO DO IT PLEASE JUST ALIBABA HIM
Also, thank you for recognizing that I have his chat id, game
This is a lot to put on Makoto. Can't we at least brainstorm it a little bit to ease the pressure?
YOSHIZAWA THANK GOD IVE BEEN WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU HOW ARE YOU DO YOU STILL TRUST ME
It seems like she's worried about my well-being; that's good...
Oh man can I hang out with her at the festival please
It's kind of funny; I've only ever managed to hang out with Haru or Ryuji at the festival.
I've dated Hifumi, Makoto, and Haru in my 3 playthroughs of p5. Wait, hold on, I've actually done 4 playthroughs, haven't I. Because I dated Hifumi twice...
The learning at school music is playing but also IS THAT FRIEND FROM COLLEGE SHIBUSAWA BC
Oh. Oh no. False memories, huh...? Now, is that false memory yours or Kasumi's? Atm I'm leaning Yoshizawa bc she's got a lot of weirdness mixed up with her and her circumstances
Man, I'm so annoyed. I was one gaming session away from maxing out my Knowledge and getting the highest grade. Guess I'll have to settle for top 10. It's not like I need the charm, anyway. All I really need at this point is Guts. But I haven't really been hanging out with Takemi or Iwai, so it makes sense. Oh well. At least I can hang out with Hifumi more now.
In my first playthrough of p5, I got through to rank 3 proficiency really quickly, made some tools to quickly bypass Yusuke's thing, and then completely disregarded it afterwards until Haru needed it, and then I prioritized everyone else since I wanted to finish as many people as possible and starting on a stat to start someone new would have sucked. Iirc I did get to rank 2 or 3 with her, enough to get baton pass and maybe something else, but I was very frustrated
...Where was I going with this? Oh well
Shut up, pompous male customer
Hey! I have max knowledge, Sojiro!
Haru is so down at all times to try weird stuff. I love her. She's always up for new experiences
Another reason why she & Yusuke should hang out more
LMAO I love this bit
Yusuke is on top of things as usual. : )
I LOVE YUSUKE WITH MY ENTIRE HEART
YUSUKE THIS ISNT HOW YOU TALK TO PEOPLE
SDJDJDJSJ I LOVE HIM SO MUCH
Oh, this is an extremely interesting counseling session, actually.
"However, if you are the one leading them to their conclusions, are they truly making the choices for themselves? Isn't that just submitting to another person's will?"
"In all honesty, I'm sure there are people out there who think that... But life in this world confines people to certain frames of mind sometimes, and without them even realizing it. If I can help lift the weight off their shoulders and free their minds, I believe the results are worth it."
Fascinating.
"I would wish... For the world to see my mother's painting the masterpiece that it is, no matter how briefly." ...Yusuke...!
Reblog if you crey every tiem
"And if at all possible, I would also wish to meet a wonderful master - one who would take me in and guide my brush with care." YUSUKE...! TAT
JESUS I remember playing this part for the first time. my heart was pounding. I could barely tear my eyes away from the screen I was so nervous like what was gonna happen?!
The tension is still high even after the fifth time seeing this scene but damn that first time was something special
I wonder how he scheduled that phone call
All right, Pancakes.
It's weird seeing the PE Faculty office from this angle
Now THIS was an interesting bit
...wow, nobody invited me to the post-festival party. Not even Haru... I'll have to look up how that works later
Hey, it's Kasumi! Hmm. Maybe it's just that the default changed from Haru to Kasumi.
Kinda sucks for Haru, though. Now we get even less content of her so far. I thought the talk after the festival was actually very interesting stuff for learning about her character.
AHH SHE LITERALLY DRAGGED ME SHES SO NEAT
Members of the dance club? Um. Okay? This is new
IT'S SHOWTIME
...and he just stands there. Dammit
WAIT I TAKE THAT BACK I LOVE HIM
This is such a high school genre thing
Those shoes look really uncomfortable to dance like that in
YES DO IT YOU COWARD
Please be canon good dancer please be canon good dancer please be canon good d
ATLUS YOU COWARDS
Dating this girl would be a tragedy dating this girl would be tragic dating this girl c'mon she's dead you know she's dead and will disappear probably when you break the illusion come on don't do it you know it's a bad idea
But what if I dated her in this playthrough
Hmm? Now they're giving me the option to go to the post-festival party? But I just went? Huh?
HOO BOY
I know that this is an optional event, but damn if I didn't wish it started a whole new subset of rumors
IM SORRY FOR EMBARRASSING YOU
I wonder if you can hang out with Futaba at the festival. That'd be nice
The dissonance between Morgana being like 'we should tell the others about Boss!' And 'nah we'll hold off on telling them about Kasumi' is kinda getting to me.
God, this all happened in one day. What an emotional rollercoaster for our Thieves.
Sojiro...
