#I was shown a clip of From The Abyss

[doberbutts]

Yeah I've seen some clips and I'm interested but there's part of me that goes "oooo, don't know if this will give me a bad time in context". Me @ shows I want to watch: why must you make me witness torture plz I wish to engage with your story without having a panic attack about it.

It's... to the point where I only watch certain movies if someone can help me fast forward through those parts. I was able to watch the first two Alien movies by having a friend who has them memorized pause, tell me exactly what was about to happen, and give me the option to close my eyes as she fastforwarded through a potentially-triggering part. We also tried that with Pan's Labrynth bc I love del Toro and sadly that is a movie I simply should not have watched regardless of skipping the torture scenes because it still made me Feel Very Bad.

Does that turn my horror movie experience into Weenie Hut Jr? Probably. But it's the only way I can watch certain things so that's what I do.

#I was shown a clip of From The Abyss #and instantly learned that I should definitely not watch that #feels bad bro

China's censorship of Justice in the Dark - some FAQ

photo cr @ 白夜飛行家 on weibo

Also known as The Abyss/Mo Du/Silent Reading (link goes to a great carrd made by a Mo Du fan) by Priest, the same author who brought us Guardian. The show was dropped on Youku China on the 18th of February and is now on Youku International (VIP needed from ep 3 onwards). 8 episodes have been released. There is no official release schedule yet, though the rumour is 5 episodes every Saturday at 10am China time. Total of 30 episodes, ending on the 11th of March (Yes rumours are this specific).

The English subs are AI generated, and they are not great. I hope they improve the subs as the show gains traction. (I watch on the China ver of the app, but I'll post any egregarious subbing errors if I come across them)

Changes made from the novel

The title, character names and premise has been changed. The ages of the some of the side characters/victims have also been changed. It's clear that scenes have been re-edited and re-dubbed, because some dialogue doesn't match the lip movements (WOH flashbacks anyone?) This is all to get pass censorship. A lot of the story, including the dialogue, has been preserved, and the changes aren't jarring.

Seems like there was a lot of uproar regarding the changes?

The show has been trending on weibo every day since it dropped, for good and bad reasons. Many book fans were upset with the changes on Day 1 and didn't bother watching pass the introduction of the premise, and there were complaints about the suitability of the actors' looks. By Day 2 the comments turned to "hey this isn't so bad??" And now everyone is just badgering youku for the next few episodes, cause they've literally released nothing else about the show since they dropped the episodes.

Has the story been sacrificed to pass censorship?

After watching 8 ep, I don't believe so. The novel covers sociopathy and the darkness of humanity - the show uses a "nuclear accident" as a reason for "genetic changes" in 1.3% of the population - causing these people to lose the ability to empathise with others. This is actually a very smart move because by blaming everything on a fictional, genetic mutation, the show can actually get away with showing the darker, more questionable parts of humanity, without having to censor it too much. The first case of the show mentions drugs and even has a short clip that heavily implies someone seizing from an overdose (you'll miss it if you aren't paying attention). There are underaged victims, and if they continue in this vein there will be more trigger warning worthy scenes from the book included. These things just don't get shown or talked about in c dramas - even if we don't talk about the BL, it's pretty crazy they managed to get this stuff out after the recent censorship changes.

Is the BL still.... there?

There are 8 episodes out so far and to me, it's working. We're not talking WOH level of chemistry here, but ep 3 onwards is when our CP starts paying more attention to each other. There is more than enough "candy" to find if you know what you're looking for. That said, it is not and will never be BL, just an adaptation.

Ok what am I looking for?

Glad you asked! Take for example the show's name change - from 深渊 (shen yuan) to 光•渊 (guang • yuan).

深 - deep 渊 - deep (often referring to a pool, so a deep dark pool, like in a cave) Shen Yuan comes from the novel and is translated as The Abyss, and represents Fei Du (Pei Su in the show)

光 - bright light Guang•Yuan is not a proper term by itself - it's a mash up of the words for bright light and deep pool. The light represents Luo Wenzhou (Luo Weizhao in the show), the one beam of light that penetrates Fei Du's darkness. Hence the English name "Justice in the Dark" is a pretty good translation.

The new names of the characters are Pei Su 裴溯 and Luo Weizhao 骆为昭. See the last character of each name? Su has the radical 月, for Moon in it, and Zhao has the radical 日, for Sun in it. The moon is considered Yin, and the sun is Yang. Together, they are Yin and Yang.

Hey maybe you think that's pushing it, but welcome to the life of a BL adaptation fan 🤣🤣

Hi RBS,

Hope you are enjoying the nice long weekend.

I wanted to ask about the time the host of happy camp weijia made a shocked face when GG was showing the thumbs up sign .

Do we know what triggered that reaction? I have seen a lot of videos which say that DD made the same sign and then GG reciprocated. I don’t really believe a simple gesture like that would result in that shocked face. Could you please share your opinion.

Thanks .

Hi Choko! I am enjoying the weekend, thanks! Hope you are as well! 😊

Fake, fan fiction, CPN.

The only person who knows for sure why Li Weijia made that face is Li Weijia. All the video clips and posts that BXG make about it are just CPN/speculation. I have my own opinion on it, which I'll outline here. Of course, it's just my opinion. Everyone is free to come up with their own interpretation.

@chokolateaddictz is referring to the interview segment with GG, after his performance at Hunan TV's 'Double Eleven' event November 10, 2019 (Double Eleven is a big singles day/shopping day in China). Subtitled clip here.

A lot of BXG believe that Li Weijia made that face in reaction to GG's thumb's up gesture, and to DD returning that gesture from his seat in the audience. Fancam footage of DD laughing and doing a thumbs up in the audience is often cut into the video footage at a key point to make it appear like he did that in response to GG.

Here are some reasons I am skeptical of the popular BXG interpretation of this:

This candy is never shown as just a straight play-through of the event. It's always heavily edited and with a lot of added commentary. I'm always going to find that degree of editing and commentary very sus, but especially when a lot of things are framed to have happened in such a short time.

The shocked face happens simultaneous to - and might even begin before - GG's thumbs up, so it's hard for me to take it as a reaction to GG's gesture (or DD's supposed reaction to GG's gesture).

I doubt he would be shocked by GG and DD's interactions by that point (more on this below).

🚧 Caution: 🤡🚙 crossing! 🚧

I don't think GG and DD were closeted at Hunan at that time, so I doubt their behavior would have surprised any of the hosts - not even Li Weijia.

This Double Eleven event happened months after GG and DD appeared together on DDU. My CPN is that around that time, or maybe shortly after, DD and GG likely came out to Hunan staff about their relationship, or at least their relationship was outed to the staff around that time. It just makes sense to me, because at that point DD's role on DDU transformed from 'single, available guy' to 'married little brother we like to tease'.

I talked about that in the past (I wish I could find that post, sadly Tumblr is an abyss where old posts go, never to be seen again - EDIT found it), but I think it's highly unlikely that such a dramatic shift would occur in how DD is framed on the show - considering that a large portion of it is likely scripted - without the production team being aware of (and buying into) that shift.

They're the ones who plan the episodes, write the bits, etc. so, I think it's unlikely that it would have only been the DDU brothers who DD was out to. Considering how many segments where DD would be framed as the hot single guy, where they'd try to pair him off with women, etc. DDU aired in the past, if the production team is not able to plan segments like that anymore, they'd need to know.

Or, at the very least, the modification of the production team's behavior would have had to come from somewhere, and to me it only follows that they knew about GG and DD.

As a high profile, well-connected figure at Hunan at the time, it seems to me likely that if some shift came about then, Li Weijia would have likely heard about it. I think the idea that he didn't know about GG and DD by then strains credibility.

The famous GGDD Happy Camp episode happened months before this event, but after the airing of GG and DD together on DDU. If GG and DD were that obvious during the Happy Camp episode, I can only imagine how they were behind the scenes. How could anything GG and DD do shock this man? 😅

And he obviously would have been backstage with them at this Double Elevens event, interacting with the DDU brothers, GG and DD, and would have seen them together then too.

But that is just my CPN, I have no proof of any of it.

What do I think he was reacting to, then?

Well, it looks to me like he was probably hamming it up with the audience about the idea that GG might have a significant other. He is a very energetic showman who knows how to work an audience. Given the nature of the event, he could have just been trying to get fans worked up about the idea that GG might not be single (completely without any intended reference to DD).

If you watch the fancam footage, when DLS asks the question, Li Weijia immediately responds with an exaggerated scandalized look, before GG even does his hand gesture. It's totally his shtick to do this kind of thing. Playing it up, jokingly acting like he's hearing some hint of salacious gossip. That is how I interpret it.

Of course, like I said earlier, only Li Wiejia knows for sure what he was doing and why, and of course there are other possibilities. He could have been reacting to one of the many BJYX light banners that were there, or he could have been reacting to something else we have no information on. It's impossible to say. But this is my take on it.

Having said that, could it be true - as some turtles claim - that DD made a thumbs up gesture in response to GG's gesture, from where he was seated in the host area?

Possibly, but I've never seen any video footage that can confirm it. I've never seen fancam footage that captures both GG and DD in the same frame at the same time, to confirm the timing of and relationship between GG's gesture and DD's. And since I've seen a lot of misleadingly edited videos before I think it would be foolish for me to just take this heavily edited candy at face value.

My conclusion is that it is very likely that Li Weijia was just hamming it up with that shocked face, but that doesn't mean that DD didn't also do that thumbs up gesture to GG. Both could be true. I just haven't seen footage that would conclusively convince me of the latter part of the story.

This is just my CPN. Other people can (and do) see it differently.

NOT THE FACE SLIPPING INTO A SOB 😭😭😭 that was top tier acting from both of them, the whole scene was absolutely insane. Those little moments KILL ME.

Ah god don’t, the soft “what is wrong with you” then she gets more and more annoyed and blurts out “I LOVE YOU DUDE” I can’t put into incoherent words how they make me feel anymore like my brains a mess??

We will get though the wait together and I’ll continue to jump into your asks when I’m having a moment cos like it’s the only way I can survive at this point 🤣🤣

What’s your hopes for season 4 with jiara? Top 3?

YEAH THAT SCENE IN 3X4 ABSOLUTELY KILLS ME; rudy and maddie DESTROYED it - and don't get me STARTED on JJ's breakdown on the dock right after ksjdkfjfdf sometimes I genuinely cannot believe what we got!

MY BRAIN HASN'T HAD A COHERENT THOUGHT SINCE 2021 I KID YOU NOT KSDKFJSKD and it's just rotting by the day consumed by jiara 🤡 As painful as that fence scene was, I LOVED both their performances here, namely rudy's scathing WHEN YOU SEE MIKE COULD YOU JUST LET HIM KNOW THAT I DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT THE MONEY CLIP - I ACTUALLY NEEDED IT and the buffering in real time WHAT

YES PLS KEEP SCREAMING INTO THE ABYSS WITH ME!!!! Maybe if we keep yellin we'll manifest some things for S4 🙃

OH GOD, TOP 3 THAT IS SO HARD!!!!! Some things that come to mind:

*I definitely need to see more comfort and love/affection from JJ's end toward Kie! We've seen the pining! We've seen Kie openly in love with him! It's his turn now!!!

*I need Kie's trauma and her relationship with the Carreras addressed - not just glossed over! I'm still clowning for some parallels there

*I'd also love to see JJ's trauma addressed and his healing shown - not just "oh hey, all is well now" bc we saw some of that process start in S3. He still has a long way to go! And if Luke returns as part of showing that process, BRING IT

*More Pogues - forever and always! That's four, but hey. I'm greedy when it comes to this show, what can I say

How bout you??!!!

Not Seen on TV

    The video Ascension by artist Bill Viola is a two-minute long clip that features a man submerged underneath a body of water that is dark like an abyss. The video starts with a fully clothed man crashing into the water. There is a blue light that makes the scene visible and the clip visualizes this mysterious man slowly rising to the surface. It seems important to note that the way he is positioned (arms out by his side and legs side by side) reminds me of Christ on the cross. The video is spiritual and cultural in some way as it shows this seemingly dead Christ-like figure slowly moving toward the bright surface, representing heaven. It looks to be a sad representation of a person moving on toward the afterlife.

    There are many thought-proving ideas such as religion and what life is like after death. The clip seems to convey that spiritual experiences exist as we see the figure submerged, possibly dead, but slowly he moves toward the light. There is a representation of Christian culture as, in Christian culture, you can be baptized to declare that you are a follower of Jesus. And the fact that once you have passed away you move toward the light up above and go to heaven. These ideas are overwhelmingly shown in the clip demonstrating the cultural stance toward Christianity. This visual representation allows me to see Christianity in a new light. Before I didn’t understand the connection between Christ and water but now I see that Christ considers water “spiritual nourishment”. The video’s imagery is very abstract and allows you to have your own take on it. The fact that the camera doesn’t move throughout the video gives it a sort of trapped feeling. The video is very similar to that of a photo in the way that the video is filmed from one angle consistently without change, but they differ as the video continues to tell a story. But this video, unlike a television, makes you think harder about what you’re seeing. This is because of the singular angle and little movement, making you think critically about the story being told.

So I've seen your post about prime Barbatos and (I don't subscribe to either I am open to both interpretations until proven wrong since we stil don't have his pt2 story quest and because of the latest events he is very sus with all mentions of wind and time)

Anyway I take prime Barbatos as him at his strongest and I think the reason so many people think of him being the strongest is because we actually know the least about him from the 3 archons we know, it is insinuated that he kinda is weird about time since his line for hello is like we've met before while everyone else is just introducing themselves as if we've never met plus that line in his story quest "let's meet at the usual spot" everyone took as the Vanessa tree while it was the statue's hands(where we've never been to until this point) so it's almost as if he knows the future/ other worlds or something, there is also the theory that he has never gone all out and always acted as a support (from the revolution to Decabrain to the revolution in the aristocracy which he literally ended with a false signature from morax instead of fighting, to meeting Dvalin for the first time and instead of fighting him in time where dragons were considered monsters he befriended him and so on) as for the construction of Mond the main point people are making about it is that while every archon has done something like that to their nation the only specified places that are constructed in that way of teraforming have been way smaller. Morax and Ei both have done it to a Island each (as far as we know from lore for now) but Barbatos has done it to the whole of Mond with breaking off the tallest mountain. Also if you look at the prolog it seems like he is able to actually show people the past through his songs since both the traveler's and Diluc 's reactions to his songs was "what was that/what did I just see" after the player is shown a clip of the past

But again that can be interpreted in different ways. The people you talk about have interpreted them as him holding back but many also see it as him needing someone else instead of doing it himself(if you look at one of his trailers the 4 winds basically tell him to finally do his job instead of telling others to do it)

So yeah again in kinda in the middle because there is a lot of mystery behind him still so I can't rule out him at his strongest being well the strongest of the archons while I also can't rule out him not being the strongest simply because we have wayyyy too little information about him

Anyway sorry for the rant but I've been obsessing over lore for the past week and when I saw the post I couldn't help it😅

OKAY SO TWO POINTS TO MAKE FIRST

1. thank you so much for providing that much info omg that's very interesting and!!! it does answer some questions

2. don't APOLOGIZE I LITERALLY ASKED WHAT PRIME BARBATOS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AND YOU ANSWERED THOROUGHLY so once again thank you

now onto the actual subject

i did take into account that barbatos/venti was really secretive, which is interesting bc with mondstadt obvious links to both celestia and the abyss (the gateway to celestia on the statue + the upside down statue)(and that's not taking into account the fact that we start at mond and we meet dainsleif there), i do wonder how they're going to give us more info on barbatos

my main... "problem" with this theory is that it's backed up with very little solid evidence - as you said, it can be interpreted in two ways, and the issue with these theories is that people take it for granted (= my frustration towards the consensus on tiktok that barbatos is the strongest archon in his prime when according to actual, current lore he's in fact said to be the weakest)

the part about him seeing the future etc is also very interesting, because iirc he does know every song ever written? so that's a nice theory! and there's another link with time, what with him being a part of the thousand winds (i can't remember the name BUT i do remember that said 'thousand winds' was one of the primordial one's shades so... yeah)

anyway it does make it clearer!! i like this theory, don't get me wrong (WELL i know you won't but), as i said my real problem is the fact that it's taken for granted when, at the end of the day, it's just a theory that could be debunked bc it's so easy to interpret it in another way. but this perspective is really cool, so!!! once again, thank you for your time <3

Breath of the Wild 2 Intro Scene

I’ve done some thinking about the new trailer (as everyone here has I’m sure), and it seems fairly safe to say that the cutscene we saw in the first trailer and partially in the second trailer is either the introduction cutscene or a cutscene very near to the beginning of the game. I’m inclined to believe the former, and I’ll explain why later. However, I also noticed that some things seemed to be out of order, so I took it upon myself to properly arrange the cutscene to the best of my ability. I apologize in advance for any and all obvious mistakes.

First of all, the beginning of the first trailer from 2019 seems like the beginning of the cutscene. Not much to say there. The tame part ends once Link and Zelda find the body.

Notice how Zelda is holding a torch, which is one reference point we can use to find what order these clips fall into. You can’t really see it in this shot, but Link is wearing both of his gloves, which will also be brought up again later.

The body is alone on a raised platform, with the hand attempting to seal the malice on it. It’s not 100% effective, as seen by the rat, a later shot, and the entirety of Breath of the Wild.

Zelda gets closer, followed by Link close behind, and the body begins to act up a little.

As Ganondorf begins to awaken, the ground shakes, causing Zelda to drop her torch. That’s the light offscreen, in front of her feet.

Zelda turns away from the body and towards Link, possibly to tell him to run away or to see if he’s alright. At around the same time, Link picks up the torch.

The ground beneath both of them breaks. Zelda falls farther than Link, but her platform is still somewhat steady.

Before the floor is completely gone, Zelda is able to reach up and take Link’s hand. It’s his right hand, and his glove his still on. It’s unclear if Link drops the torch here or if it’s just in his other hand, but if he’s still holding at this point, he drops it a few seconds later.

However, the floor beneath Link breaks as well, sending both of our heroes into free fall. The green hand, which had still been on Ganondorf, moves away from the body and instead grabs Link’s left arm.

As Link is pulled up to safety, the malice is completely free to leave Ganondorf’s body, and does so immediately. It’s unclear if Zelda slipped out of Link’s grip due to the hand yanking him upwards, or if she let go out of fear of the malice, but either way, she is no longer held by Link and begins falling down into an abyss of unknown depth.

After Zelda has fallen, the malice attacks Link’s right arm. Notice how he still has a glove on.

The malice doesn’t extend to the rest of Link’s body, due to it either consuming his glove instead, or him ripping off the glove before it can spread. Before the malice gets the chance to strike again, Link’s arm is instead possessed by the green hand, which takes advantage of him being in a gloveless and unprotected state.

At this point, Ganondorf is free, and it’s unknown what happens to Link or Zelda, or where they go immediately after this scene.

I mentioned in the beginning that I think this is an introductory cutscene, and that is for two reasons. One, all of the other clips in the trailer show Link with a possessed arm, which happens in this scene. Two, there is a later shot in the trailer of Link lying down in what looks like similar ruins, shirtless and probably asleep, which is reminiscent of the beginning of Breath of the Wild and Zelda games as a whole.

I know I didn’t show every image or shot shown in the two trailers about this scene, but tumblr has a 10 image limit per post, and I think you can fill in any gaps I left. I hope this helps with your theorizing, or just general understanding of the trailer!

[i-am-not-a-who-i-am-a-what]

there was a moment from yesterday’s episode that set off so many alarm bells in my head and i haven’t seen anyone talking about it yet so i’m going to get my thoughts out there. i’m putting the majority of this post under a readmore bc it got very long thanks to all the transcript quotes i pulled but i really want to know what everyone else thinks about the Implications™

BASIRA

Okay. So… what do we know about Hill Top Road?

ARCHIVIST

Not much.

BASIRA

Another blind spot?

ARCHIVIST

No, it’s – I could look at it, but it… it was… it was like a… a hole. You know that feeling you get when you look down from a, a great height, like you’re being pulled into the abyss?

BASIRA

Kind of?

ARCHIVIST

[Getting lost in thought] Well it was… was like that. Normally I can see it, see the… webs, and feel the power of The Spider emanating from it, but… as I would look… it’s like my mind…. follows the paths of The Web,

[STATIC RISES]

the strands going down and… out… [Catching self] It’s quite disorientating.

[STATIC FADES]

my first thought after hearing this exchange was “huh, that sounds eerily similar to the description of the table the not-them was trapped in.” here it is from mag 3 - across the street:

I’d become enraptured by the table on which he’d placed my tea. It was an ornate wooden thing, with a snaking pattern of lines weaving their way around towards the centre. The pattern was hypnotic and shifted as I watched it, like an optical illusion. I found my eyes following the lines towards the middle of the table, where there was nothing but a small square hole.

my first instinct was that this was some foreshadowing for jon meeting some kind of horrible fate, because well... remember what happened the last time someone got mesmerized by the table?

SASHA

Oh, hey. I’ve found… I’ve found that table you were talking about. Don’t really see what all the fuss is about. Just a… basic… optical illusion. Nothing special… just… just a… wait…

[Hushed and panicked] Jon! Jon, I think there’s someone here. Hello? I see you. Show yourself!

but then i started thinking more about why the table specifically would be referenced, and i remembered the earliest we see it used as artifact of the web, and where: with raymond fielding in hill top road in mag 59 - recluse:

On Sunday evenings, however, we’d all gather for the evening meal, and before we sat down to eat, he would remove the bright white tablecloth that covered it, and we’d gather around the dark wood. I remember it was carved in all sorts of strange swirling designs and patterns. It felt like if you picked a line, any line, you could follow it through to the center, to some deep truth, if only your eye could keep track of the strands that had caught it.

it was while i was checking the transcripts to find the above quote that i also remembered the hole in center of the table that the web pattern leads towards wasn’t always empty - it used to contain a box, and that box contained an apple.

again from again from mag 59:

The center of the table looked, at first, like it was simply part of the wooden top, but if you looked closely, as I did so often, you could see an outline marking the very middle as a small, square box, carved with patterns just like the ones that laced their way over the rest of the table. I don’t remember how long we sat around the table those evenings, nor do I have any memory of what we might have eaten.

...

I reached over and pulled the wooden square from the center of the table. On its own, it appeared to be a small wooden box, and the lid opened smoothly, as my hands moved in a practiced motion. Inside was an apple, green and fresh and still wet with morning dew.

I knew I was going to eat it. I could feel tears desperately trying to push themselves out of my eyes, but I instead decided not to cry. I placed the box down on the table, reached over, and picked up the apple.

the box from the center of the table makes its first appearance in the very first hill top road statement, mag 8 - burned out, where we learn that apparently the apple was full of spiders. 

considering the web’s predilection for filling it’s victim’s bodies with spiders (carlos vittery, annabell cane, the spider husks trevor encountered, the victim of the chelicerae website, the old woman in annabell’s statement, francis, etc.) i think this goes a ways to explain what happened to raymond’s other victims, and what would have happened to mag 59′s statement giver if he’d bitten into the apple:

They lay still now, wrapped in their sticky cocoons. Their bodies seemed warped and bloated in a way I didn’t recognize. But that’s only because at that point in my life, I had never before seen a spider egg sac.

more importantly though, we also learn that the box was buried under the burnt up tree in hill top road’s garden, the one whose uprooting was implied to be linked to agnes’s death: 

STATEMENT

At that moment I made my decision. It was easy, like destroying this tree was the only thing to do, the only path to follow ... When the tree lay on its side, uprooted and powerless, I gazed into the hole where it had sat and noticed something lying there in the dirt.

Climbing down, I retrieved what turned out to be a small wooden box, about six inches square, with an intricate pattern carved along the outside. Engraved lines covered it, warping and weaving together, making it hard to look away.

...

ARCHIVIST

Except… We cannot prove any connection, but Martin unearthed a report on an Agnes Montague, who was found dead in her Sheffield flat on the evening of November 23rd 2006, the same day Mr. Lensik claims to have uprooted the tree.

and keep in mind that the only reason the statement giver in mag 59 didn’t eat the apple, didn’t succumb to the web... was agnes’s kiss:

As the man in the suit told me to follow him in a clipped BBC accent, Agnes walked over, and gestured for me to lean down and listen to her. I did so, but instead of a conspiratorial whisper, she just gave me a quick kiss on the cheek, then ran off down the hall.

...

All at once, my cheek erupted in pain. It was like someone had pressed a hot branding iron into my face, and I could swear that I heard the flesh sizzle as I let out a scream and fell to my knees. I raised my hands to my face and realized in that moment two very important things. The first is that my face seemed to be untouched; I could feel no injury or burn. The second was that raising my hand had been a truly voluntary act. I had willed it myself, and whatever power had been gripping me, tugging me into its web, I was free of it.

at this point you’re probably wondering why i think all this is relevant in terms of what might happen with hill top road, and i have two potential ideas: 

my first idea has to do with the theory that agnes is lingering on as a ghost. this theory isn’t mine, i first encountered it shortly after mag 167 - curiosity aired through this post’s attempt to fix what bits of the timeline were thrown out of wack by the new info. if anyone has any other posts or general thoughts about this theory feel free to share them, i’d love to read them!

this theory is relevant to my speculation that agnes might finally make an appearance because she might have been the ghost seen by one of the statement givers in mag 100 - i guess you had to be there:

MARTIN

Right. Right.

[THROAT CLEARING]

Statement of Lynne Hammond, er, recorded 2nd of May 2017, regarding…

Uh, what, what’s this one about?

LYNNE

I saw a ghost.

MARTIN

O-kay.. Regarding a… a ghost. Statement begins.

who appeared as one of the cultists in mag 190 - scavengers: 

MARTIN

[Puzzled] Celia?

CELIA

Probably. The, um… place I was trapped in, they took my name. I never got it back. But I like Celia, so… yeah! Celia it is.

MARTIN

Uh… H-Hello… Celia.

and was recognized and directly confirmed to be the same person by martin in mag 191 - what we lose:

MARTIN

…

Hey, I meant to ask. Do you recognise that woman, Celia?

ARCHIVIST

Um… no, I, I don’t think so. Why?

MARTIN

I’d swear she gave a statement once.

having her only pop up in mag 190 would have just been a fun easter egg, but having martin directly call out her presence the next episode sounds to me like jonny telling the audience to pay attention, to remember that her statement had to do with the ghost of a young woman on fire who might have been agnes. 

my second idea involves web lighter.

over various statements throughout the previous four seasons we’ve been shown that the web and the desolation have been at war, and hill top road has been their battlefield. the best examples of this come from mag 139 - chosen and mag 149 - infectious doubts respectively. 

on the one hand we have agnes being planted in hill top road by the cult of the lightless flame in an effort to both control her powers and derail the web’s plans, which seems to begin the conflict:

The compromise we came to was Hill Top Road. We knew it was a stronghold of the Web, full of other children Agnes’ age. We would supervise from a distance, but were confident she would be in no danger. The Mother of Puppets has always suffered at our hand; all the manipulation and subtle venom in the world means nothing against a pure and unrestrained force of destruction and ruin.

and on the other we have the web binding gertrude to agnes, thus thwarting the desolation’s ritual, which also involved hill top road:

ARTHUR

Alright. Agnes. How’d you do it? Never did understand it, not really.

GERTRUDE

Ah. That’s a fair enough question. It was the Web. I didn’t know it at the time, of course, and I would call it an accident, but it never is, with them. It’s only after the fact that you can see all the subtle manipulations

... 

So, I began researching what I thought was a counter-ritual of sorts. Like I said, I was young, naive. I somehow found just the right books, made just the right connections, and even got what I thought was a piece of blind good luck when I found a tin box in the ashes of Hill Top Road, containing some perfectly preserved cuttings of her hair.

wouldn’t it seem symbolic, fitting with the dream logic we’ve been working with all season (and that the fears have always tended to work with), if what ended the metaphysical war was an artifact touched by both the web and the desolation? 

say perhaps... a device that creates fire while being marked by a symbol of the spider? one that just so happened to be delivered to the institute at the same time as a certain table?

TIM

Er, what is it?

ARCHIVIST

A lighter. An old Zippo.

TIM

You smoke?

ARCHIVIST

No. And I don’t allow ignition sources in my archive!

TIM

Okay. Is there anything unusual about it?

ARCHIVIST

Not really. Just a sort of spider web design on the front. Doesn’t mean anything to me. You?

TIM

Ah no. No.

ARCHIVIST

Well… show it to the others, see what they think. You said there was something else as well?

TIM

Oh, ah yes, yeah, it was sent straight to the Artefact Storage, a table of some sort. Ah, looks old. Quite pretty, though. Fascinating design on it.

all signs point to the best hope of escaping whatever plans the web has for jon lying with the desolation, or at least with fire, and who should be waiting in hill top road than someone who’s been known to burn statements in the past... and someone who, as of mag 162 - a cozy cabin, was the last person to mention the lighter: 

MARTIN

So, should we destroy it? Before we go?

[THE CABIN CREAKS VERY LOUDLY.]

ARCHIVIST

I honestly don’t know if we can.

[HE SIGHS.]

MARTIN

Mm.

ARCHIVIST

Besides, there’s – far worse out there. Better to try and avoid it, I think.

MARTIN

We’re not even gonna try? Look, we’ve got your lighter; maybe if we just –

i haven’t even begun to touch on the multiple instances of spiral marked individuals interacting with hill top road, or the potential role of the rift leading from the world without the institute to the reality with the institute from mag 114 - cracked foundations, or the foreshadowing we’ve gotten throughout this season that the archive might be destroyed by fire and how it’s looking more and more like that means jon might die, or the significance of the tapes and what power might be behind them...

but it’s nearing five in the morning where i am and i’ve been working on this frankly gargantuan post since about midnight, so i’m going to let more meta-inclined minds take it from here. tell me what you think! where do you agree with me, where do you think i’ve gone astray? hell, tell me if you think i’m just spinning my wheels, this is the first real theory post i’ve ever made so i might be completely off base, at least i tried lol.

tl;dr: 

the call back to the imagery surrounding the web table and its long history with hill top road and the desolation is leading me to believe that whatever plans the web has in hill top road for jon, fire is going to have a significant role in whether or not the web gets what it wants; either agnes herself might finally make an appearance or the web lighter might finally come into play.

Unexpected Switch (Part Six)

Summary: Do things go according to plan as the team pursues to bring the reader’s sister into custody.

A/N: I’M BACK!!! I apologize for not updating for almost a whole month. It has seemed to be one thing after another here lately. Anyways I will be finishing this series with 2 or 3 more updates, but of course I have some steamy things in the works before it ends. I hope you enjoy my mess of writing, and like always I am open for any comments or advice.

Pairing: Spencer Reid x Fem! Reader

Warnings: swearing, criminal minds talk, implied mental health distress

Word Count: , 1660

We had made it back from the crime scene about half hour ago and were all back in the round table room discussing what I had told Spencer, Rossi, and Luke on the way here.

I was pacing the floor listening to the team talk through this new information. “Kid you’re gonna put a hole in the floor if you keep that up.” I stopped my pacing and looked towards Rossi. He was smiling at me and patted the seat next to him. I sat down and leaned my elbows onto the table, exhaustion trying to consume me.

“Okay so according to what y/n told us, Tessa had shown some form of jealousy in every memory that y/n has of her. That would make sense since the killings started about the same time y/n received that award with the ridiculously long name.” Luke stated with a smirk at the end.

“The American Psychological Association International Humanitarian Award is not that long. You’re just lazy.” Tara teased Luke and made us all chuckle, especially at the mocked hurt look Luke gave her.

Emily brought us all back to the serious situation at hand, “Y/n you told Spencer that you might have an idea how to catch her?”

I nodded and gave them a weary smile, “How do you guys feel about overpriced food and screaming children?”  I was met with very confused and concerned looks from everyone but Garcia who knew exactly where I was going with this and she looked very amused. “I think we need to make a trip back to Massachusetts.”

--------

We hatched out a plan after the team realized the case wasn’t making me insane. After a “Wheels up in 20” from Emily we all started to part ways to meet at the jet when I was stopped by a hand on my elbow before I could make it halfway out the door.

I stopped and turned towards JJ who looked sheepish at the fact of having any interaction with me. She crossed her arms and proceeded to say, “I just wanted to apologize for how I’ve acted towards you during all of this. I was beyond sure that you were behind all this and couldn’t understand why the team was questioning the original profile. Then when they all started trusting you so easily it made me uneasy. I was wrong though y/n, you’ve been nothing but helpful during all this.” She took a deep breath and relaxed her arms and continued, “I guess what I am trying to say is I hope you will forgive me and us maybe start over?” She said it more like a question more than she probably meant to.

If my mother taught me anything it was to forgive others who made an effort to correct their wrong doings. Besides JJ seemed sincere and had good reasonings behind her actions. I smiled and gave her a nod, “I forgive you JJ. I honestly probably would have acted the same way or worse.”

She barked out a laugh before saying, “Thank goodness because I have been dying to ask you about your wrist tattoo!” I glanced down at my wrist at the constellation that I thought was well hidden, “I would love to tell you the story behind it.”

We linked arms as we continued to talk and laugh as we entered the bullpen. The looks we received from everyone, especially Spencer, was like they were seeing a unicorn befriending a dinosaur. It was quite amusing and only made JJ and I giggle.

-----

It had been a little over 12 hours since we came up with the plan to hopefully catch Tessa and bring her into custody. It was exactly two hours till that plan was going to be put into action and saying I was anxious was an understatement.

We had come to the local police station to tie up some loose ends and get everything in place for later. I was in the process of fixing me a cup of very strong coffee when I must have zoned out because Spencer’s calming voice brought me back to wherever my mind had taken me.

“Are you okay?” Spencer took the coffee pot from my hand where I had frozen just holding it, no coffee had been poured into my cup. I shook my head trying to rid it of the fuzziness that had resided there.

“Yeah-I- umm…”

Spencer poured my coffee and handed it to me, “The abyss?” I took the coffee gratefully and tucked it close to my chest, “Yeah the abyss, well almost. You saved me once again Dr. Reid.”

I gave him a small smile as I took a sip of my coffee and tried to hide a grimace. Police station coffee tastes like shit.

Spencer gave me an award-winning smile as he spoke, “Well I don’t want the 3-year running Corn Festival Queen being lost in her own mind where I can’t reach her now do?” He chuckled as I groaned. “How did you manage to persuade Penelope, the queen of gossip and lack of personal boundaries, not to tell us that detail of your life.”

I sat my coffee down on the counter and started adding an unhealthy amount of sugar to it hoping for a miracle as I spoke, “Well actually Dr. I had to persuade both Penelope and Emily.” Spencer raised an eyebrow intrigued and persisting for me to continue.

“The night she came to Emily’s office with the new information she had brought it up because my mom use to help organize the whole festival. I begged them not to say anything, and Emily said it wasn’t necessarily important for the case at the time.” I finished adding my mountain of sugar to my coffee and stirring it and took a big sip.

Before Spencer could respond Luke called out towards us, “Wow now we have two people who drinks sugar with a dash of coffee.” Matt and Rossi chuckled at his remark.

I looked towards Spencer who just shrugged and said, “I see nothing wrong with making coffee sweet. Especially if you drink it as often as I do.”

I couldn’t help but smile at him, “Coffee is a language of itself.” Spencer’s smile seemed to brighten at this quote, “Jackie Chan.”

----

“Emily if you take one more picture of me, they’re gonna have to arrest me for murder.” I was standing in a dramatically poofy dress with a crown on my head and a ‘Corn Festival Queen’ sash across my chest.

Emily let out a fit of giggles, “You look amazing… and I want these for black mail for later in our beautifully blossoming friendship.”

I just rolled my eyes and tried to grab her phone from her hands. I was beyond unsuccessful. Just as I about had my hands on it, I tripped over the unnecessary ruffles on the bottom of my dress and fell face first into someone’s chest. No not just someone, it was Spencer. He helped steady me and gave me a warm smile. Emily silently slipped out the tent, but not before snapping another picture.

Spencer reached a hand out to fix the rings of curls that had came untucked from their clip, “I like these curls framing your face. It only amplifies your beauty.”

My eyes met his eyes and shy smile graced his face. I couldn’t help but turn my head away when I felt the heat rise to my cheeks. Spencer’s hand that was fixing my curls was now cupping the side of my face bringing me to face him once again.

“You remember the plan, right?” His eyes held so much concern in them that I hesitated before answering. I gave him a reassuring smile and assured him, “Down to the very last vivid detail.”

He smiled at me and ran his thumb across my cheek. Matt poked his head into the tent, “Hey guys it’s go time.” Just as quick as he had appeared, he disappeared. That man has a talent of unknowingly interrupting moments.

Spencer pulled away from me and it took everything in me not to whine at the lack of warmth where his hand had been. His beautiful sharp features where crossed with worry as he said, “Please be careful. And if anything goes wrong, stay calm. I’ll find you. I promise.”

And with that he was gone. I was left with a rapid beating heart and a mind full of haze.

------

I stood on the stage; the fakest smile plastered across my face. I kept darting my eyes around the crowd always making sure I could see a member of the team. I was so focused on the crowd I almost missed the mayor announce the new Corn Festival Queen for me to crown.

The girl bowed her head for me to place the crown, not giving me a chance to see her face. As I placed the crown on her head, I didn’t notice the disturbance in the crowed as the BAU team raced towards me.

Before I knew what was happening the newly crowned Festival Queen stood and gave me smile that could only be described as a snarl as she said, “Hi-a sis.” , and dove towards me with a knife in hand.

I was pulled away just in time, but not before the knife went across my arm causing a searing pain to shoot through it causing me to hiss in pain. I looked up to see Spencer, his arms around me protectively, and Luke holding Tessa down as Tara place the handcuffs securely around her wrists. They pulled her into a standing position and began to state her rights as she kept her eyes on me and a shit eating grin across her face.

I turned towards Spencer who instantly started to inspect my arm. I let out a low chuckle, “Well that wasn’t part of the plan.”

Into the Unknown: Making Frozen 2 - Review

Finally finished watching all 6 episodes of the Frozen 2 Documentary! My consensus is drum roll please... it was not very good.

Things I liked first: I loved watching the team get emotional when they saw their projects coming together (finishing Into The Unknown, etc). 

Watching random guys rub rocks together for sound design was funny. 

I loved looking at the Disney offices and all the merch, posters, art, etc. 

The actors/workers were very charismatic and believable. They seemed to legit enjoy their work and were happy to help. 

- -

Criticism: 

The documentary promised to be a look into all the hard work, collaboration, blood, sweat and tears, it took to make Frozen 2, but it came off more as a look into the very final stages of Show Yourself and a few unfinished animation clips. So little of the actual movie making process was shown and it was extremely misleading and frustrating.

-

Songs:

Songs and the songwriting process were definitely the aspect of F2 Disney was most comfortable showing, but that’s saving very little because the attention per song was extremely restricted and lopsided. About 50% of the entire docu-series focuses on just Show Yourself while every other song gets about 20 to 1 minute(s) of screentime (in order from most to least discussion, it goes: Next Right Thing, Into The Unknown, Lost In The Woods, Some Things Never Change, When I’m Older, All Is Found, and Vuile isn’t even mentioned by name). And even when they did discuss these songs, they only showed the lyrics that got into the movie, no cut lyrics or alternatives were shown at all. So it was just long extended scenes of Jenn and the Lopez’ trying to decide whether they should or should not add parts to the song which we, as the viewer, already know were added. And again, they showed no alternatives, so it wasn’t a choice of A or B, it was A or maybe rewrite the middle-ish but no specifics. 

They didn't even discuss the public outtakes / deleted scenes they've already released / planned to release like "Get This Right", "Seek The Truth", "Unmeltable Me", etc (they did mention “See They Sky” but nothing else). 

The last thing I’d like to mention for this category is that they did discuss the intended emotions / themes of the songs they kept in. They talk about how Show Yourself was supposed to make you feel empowered and satisfyingly wrap up the story, how Next Right Thing was supposed to make you feel just as emotionally raw as Anna, etc. So I can give them credit for that. But again, these explanations became few and far between once they got into the “lesser” songs. Nor do they explain why certain songs were added to the story; for example When I’m Older’s entire existence was justified with “kids really liked it”. “Lost In The Woods” was an 80’s rock ballad because they kinda just wanted to make a 80’s song, etc.

-

Animation:

Again, just like the songs, Disney was very comfortable showing off the animation process, but only unfinished clips, models, skeletons, etc of shots that were actually used in the film and nothing else. But, I did have fun watching animators physically act out character movements, record them, and then animate them (ex: that poor girl who recorded like 5 shots of her own face singing, all super imposed on bobbing reindeer shaped bubbles for the Lost In The Woods scene lol).

The most new/deleted content they showed were storyboards and sketches of Show Yourself  where we got to see alt. backgrounds of Ahtohallan and young Iduna and and See the Sky which was a dance-off type thing between the Northuldra / Arendelle soldiers.

-

Story:

This, and every consecutive category, is where this documentary was severely lacking. They showed no alternative scenes or storylines like “Hard Nokks” or the secret library. Nor did they go into the intended messages/significance of the story elements they did use, like why they chose to trap the Enchanted Forest in mist, why they spared Arendelle, why Elsa left Arendelle, why they chose a dam for the physical boundary they needed to destroy (even though apparently it was loosely based on an IRL dam that hurt the IRL Sami people; I got this from outside resources), etc. 

They also don’t dive into any character motivations (outside of the context of Elsa in Show Yourself/Into The Unknown, Anna in Next Right Thing, and Kristoff in Lost In The Woods). 

They very explicitly refused to discuss any changes they made to the script. In episode 5 they spend a lot of time emphasizing the importance of audience feedback but refuse to show any actual feedback (they even talk about how they gave out questionnaires but don’t even show us a blank one). This was very blatant and annoying because they spent a lot of time looking DIRECTLY at the camera going on about how important feedback was, how being willing to change was important, how they DID change things, and how change impacted a lot of the movie (ex: cutting songs and simplifying things for children), but refused to show anything. The one (1) change they did show was the prologue, so we see young Anna and Elsa playing before we see Agnarr's flashback, but that was pretty much it. 

-

Design / Environments:

Character design and dress design was not discussed at all. They do show us a few seconds of fabric physics for Elsa’s spirit dress and show us how they designed Olaf when he was pretending to be Grand Pabbie (using his snowball feet as ears and ferns as a cape), but nothing else. You’d think that since Elsa and Anna both had like 5 costume changes each, they’d want to discuss that, but no. Nor do they even mention Iduna’s shawl / the unity snowflake which had a ton of significance in the movie. They also don’t discuss the designs of the spirits or their symbols (or even water animation for the Nokk’s body which would’ve been perfect in the animation portions). 

-

Research: 

The only research we see them doing is visiting IRL glaciers for Ahtohallan in episode 3. This was neat and all, but also very bittersweet because they really emphasized how spectacular and breathtaking Ahtohallan was going to be, but it was literally just an empty cave made of ice; and not even shiny ice (like Elsa’s castle) just dark, flat, and blue. Like I know creating environments is hard but Ahtohallan is very literally empty besides a few extremely narrow hallways and dark colorless abysses. Like it may have been hard to build in a computer but it was NOT creative nor something to boast about (especially compared to the concept art they showed). But this is all my opinion...

They do show a black sand beach which greatly inspired the black sea, but otherwise they don’t show the research it took to properly replicate the Enchanted Forest (like plant life and ecology) nor any of the locations Elsa and the gang briefly passed through on the way to the forest. 

Most egregiously of all they completely omit the Sami community and their contributions to the film. They don’t address them by name or even acknowledge the Northuldra are based on them. Nor do they mention the apparent collaboration they did with the Sami community to accurately replicate their culture. The closest they get to acknowledging them or their hand in the creation of F2 was that the subtitles described Vuilie was a "yoik". Which does not count, since no one even says it out loud. You could dismiss all my other complaints about the lack of content and deleted scenes, but this is just flat out disrespectful. 

-

Ending Note: 

To me, I just don't see the point of this. If this entire documentary was condensed into an hour long YouTube video and explicitly only about the songs/animation I would've been perfectly happy and would've given this an A! Maybe even more because the little parts about the sound design and interviews with the cast would've been little bonuses. But I can't because this is a 6 episode Disney+ only "documentary" on all of F2. 

Tl;Dr - I expected a lot more, but was severely disappointed. I wanted an inside sneak peak on the making of one of Disney’s most iconic and my personal favorite IP, but instead I got 240 minutes of Jennifer Lee and the Lopez’ trying to feel the vibe of Show Yourself and crying. Surely they could’ve cut some of that out to talk about literally anything else. Watching this just felt pointless and I was never engaged nor were my curiosities satisfied. 

-

Extra Note:

For about 10 minutes at the end of one episode (which may seem short but that’s like ¼ of an episode), the documentary takes a detour to talk about Ryder Buck. Ryder Buck was Chris Buck’s (one of the director) son who died shortly after F1 was released, and I mean no disrespect but the sequence dedicated to him had nothing to do with the film or documentary. One of the F2 character’s was named after Ryder, but that was the only connection (they don’t even mention if Ryder in Frozen was based personality-wise on IRL Ryder, just that they shared a name). The whole 10 minute sequence was literally just a charity event in Ryder’s name and Chris and his wife sitting on a mountain talking about how they miss him. Again, no disrespect and I’m sorry Ryder Buck died so young, but a documentary on Frozen 2 wasn’t an appropriate place or time to talk about him.

Crossing out this section because some people took this as an opportunity to attack Chris Buck and his son, which is completely unacceptable and disgusting.

I know you know it but for those how doesn't know i'll let them know now. LOL

Ok, let's get serious. During my thoughts about the past of Iduna and Agnarr and what we've seen in Ahtohallan when Elsa meets the past in form of moving and talking ice sculptures, i have realized how Ahtohallan works, or to say how the memories in it are arranged. I've rewatched the few video clips we have because i only have seen the movie twice and it's not so easy to remember some of the details only out of mind. 

After Elsa unlocked the chamber of memories and during the song 'Show Yourself' we see pictures of her own past as child. When Elsa finally transform herself into the fifth spirit and the song ends, she materializes the memories into living ice sculptures each time she walks by, and she was able to hear the voices of these persons of the past. It began with a scene showing citizens and a guard of Arendelle. This scene must be in Arendelle itself. 

Then comes the scene where we can see Iduna and Agnarr in an adult age, then in her youth, both scenes are in Arendelle, and further back to the accident in the forest when Iduna rescues young Agnarr (i've shown these pictures in a previous post but in the wrong order). Then, after King Runeard walks by and was talking with a soldier about the Nortuldra and the magic in the forest, Elsa follows them until she stopped at an abyss. We see many people there, mostly Northuldra when i remember right but also Arendellian soldiers. Elsa decides to jump down to know more about the truth and about what King Runeard meant. We see some Northuldra and Arendellian soldiers down there standing around and talking in peace, some Northuldra are showing their skills riding the reindeers.

And then again Runeard, talking to the leader of the Northuldra about the dam. 

Finally we see the murder of the unarmed Northuldra...

...by King Runeard from behind with his sword. 

These scenes in the pit are contiguous and probably they are the oldest memories in Ahtohallan. 

What i want to say with this is, the deeper Elsa walks into the heart of Ahtohallan, the older the memories are. 

There's only one scene during the song when her mother Iduna, a living memory which reacts to Elsa's presence and sing with her, shows Elsa an important clue. When she shows her daughter that she herself was the person who rescued Agnarr and called Gale for help. This scene was not part of Elsa's memories like the others around her and it happend far more earlier than the other scenes in this room.

v. Dawn

He had at least succeeded at one thing, making the stakes incomparably attractive. Two aerial rings for the grabs? It could take centuries to get your hands on even a single of the necessary stones required to make one, let alone two that had already been refined, honed, primed for use.

Aerial magic was derived from the stones of the En-Aerlil, or as everyone knew it: the endless abyss. A marine sinkhole with a network of maze-like underwater caverns at the heart of the Aegerian sea. In the nearly 3000 years since its discovery, thousands had dived in to find the precious stones or explore its depths, and only a few hundred had returned. Of those that returned, exactly 11 carried with them the powerful stones. Many thought, these stones were the magical core of their world, a source of life and phenomena itself. It was as if they’d removed pieces of the realm’s nervous system and acquired the power of gods. There wasn’t anything particularly dynamic about this power at first, but with steady practice and deep concentration, many started to refine its manifestation.

At first, several families carried with them stones, but now, only 5 noble families, of which the Azurians held 5. Arnalt nodded in the direction of his elder brothers and sisters as he entered the arena. He then turned to the few nobles they’d invited on short notice, and the council. Members of the second most powerful family were also present: Duke Skvellan, and council member Wojra, of House De Ghres. Present were also a few members of Houses Naran and Li Bianq. Only one house wasn’t present if he thought about it, not that they would ever show up in an Azurian palace…

“I hope you win today, 3 Aerial rings and you’ll officially be more powerful than Father, or maybe even the Opal!” The voice was milky sweet and melodious, with only a subtle rasp. It came from his brother, the 11th Prince.

“Bael, I didn’t think you’d rise so early.” Arnalt’s face immediately softened slightly. If it could be said that his relationship with Ithana was at the very least one of mutual respect, compared to all his other siblings, only Bael and him truly got along.

“Tell me about it.” Bael yawned and stretched his arms, “Youth is the only reason you’re so bushy-tailed and ready to brawl this early in the morning, by heavens the sun’s not even out!” That raspy quality, from the tender herbs Bael loved to smoke, was the only reminder to anyone that Bael was in fact older than Arnalt, despite his rounded cheeks and deeply luscious raven curls. It was hard to see them as brothers as well, Bael with a thick dark eyebrows, a mouth as luscious and playful as his curls, eyes that were almond-shaped and constantly curious, with a slight bump at the top of his nose, refined into an elegant tip above his mouth. His skin was light and olive, and his figure was as generous as his meals. He looked like a cherub from the night sky, infinitely younger.

Arnalt in contrast felt paper-pale and gloomy. His own hair straight and flat, the color of hay, his face far more angular, even if it looked softer when relaxed. And he could never smile the way Bael could, his lips thinner and unable to stretch that far. Bael seemed like he could hug the whole world with a single smile, and because he was slightly shorter, Arnalt felt a bit awkward and slightly bent his waist and back, unconsciously wanting to appear smaller so as to reflect their actual age and status. Because Bael, with the million watt smile and the bright green eyes, was in fact the owner of the most profitable of the Azurian city-states.

His trade? The herbs he smoked and the bottle of fruit wine in his hand. He took a leisurely swig from it now.  “I see the usual suspects have shown up.”

“You’d think it was the Trial of Kings.” Arnalt scoffed.

“That silly match where only one Aerial stone is at stake? Pfft, so puny. What is that compared to my sweet younger brother’s challenge for world domination!” Bael’s mirth was contagious, but it made Arnalt pause.

He hadn’t thought much about it when he first proposed the duel. He just wanted a tempting enough offer to make Ithana accept.

He glanced at the rows and rows of seats in the arena slowly filling up. He’d surmised wrong, that few people were coming, but as the hour approached, and even with such short notice, Arnalt realized that a sea of villagers was coming in to witness the event. Knights, servants, nobles, monks, anyone who was close enough to the palace and could attend was actually showing up!

Well shit. So he had to fight seriously?

“Is that… F-Father?” Arnalt never stuttered. Never. Except for one man.

Bael took another swig of his fruit wine. “Ahh… well fuck. Good luck!” He patted Arnalt’s back and moved to sit next to his entourage, all of them dressed in billowy gowns with shades of sunrise, painting a decadent and gilded picture next to the more weary and bleary-eyed nobles who still couldn’t believe they’d had to wake up so early.

Arnalt approached his father and bowed, out of respect, and to not accidentally insult him, and to maybe win a bit of his favor. He wasn’t sure. His father’s generosity was unpredictable, but if he could somehow catch his eye today, he might just be able to do more than let Marius escape.

“My King.”

“Arnalt.” His father’s voice clipped. “You can call me Father when we’re in your household like this. This isn’t the Azurian Sky Hall .”  

“F-father.”

That displeased him, that one simple stutter. Ah well, he rarely got his favor by talking or existing anyway. Maybe his sword would persuade him.

“I hope you win today Arnalt, you’ve put something very precious at stake, so I hope this is a moment to show me how proud I should be of you, and not how you allow Ithana to so easily get away with capriciousness.”

The fact that Ithana had gifted an Aerial ring to her knight was a display of both power and utter irresponsibility in the eyes of the Azurian King. She had won her ring as a prize in the Trial of Kings. And then gone back a decade later and won again, becoming the pride of their family, The Lioness of Azuria. But giving it to her Knight? A mere ward? Why, it was almost as shocking as Arnalt’s ward winning it for himself in a duel. But at least then it hadn’t been Arnalt who gifted it.

But it said more about Ithana that she could care less if she offended the Azurian King. She’d won the Trial of Kings twice, and that alone put her above the rest. She was a renown war general, a tremendous force of spirit and single-handedly purified her Aerial stone until it became “The Gale”. Arnalt could still only summon strong gusts of wind.  

Such a person, Arnalt would face today.

He twisted the Aerial ring in his hand and smirked. When he thought about it, wasn’t it equally capricious of him to allow a Kurian to possess such a treasure? Even as a battle spoil? He shook his head.

Marius had bested her Knight. Fair and square he hoped, he wasn’t sure, he hadn’t really attended that duel. He didn’t think the battle would be that exciting so he’d slept in that day.

Ithana was already warming up with her blade on the other side of the arena.

“Tsk, to think they’re so spoiled the wager Aerial stones like this.” The voice came from one of the Li Bianq nobles. He didn’t care to see their face. “Is it true he owns a Kurian?”

Owns a Kurian. Arnalt almost burst out laughing. What a silly thought.

At best he’d just found himself stuck to one. 

Rare were the days when Marius helped with the kitchen staff that he didn’t finish his tasks quickly to quietly sneak off and watch Arnalt and his guards train. More than once he’d found him mimicking their movements with a mop behind the bushes. Arnalt let a “pfft” slip at the memory.

Just as easily, his face became the marble sculpture he was known for. Nobles and villagers alike straightened their postures and whoever had been loitering finally sat down. A silence blanketed the arena.

The sun finally crested over the horizon.

Dawn had arrived.

And as the designated monk began the ritual prayers and rites, Arnalt took his position across from Ithana and raised his sword, taking a deep breath and momentarily closing his eyes to focus. When he blinked them open once more, Ithana’s Falchion sword, alight like a thunderstorm, was already slicing through the wind and inches from his throat.

Would you say, maybe getting your wand is one of them, but when was the moment when you had the "Wow, I really joined this whole world and what it all encompasses?”

I think on set here, when we shot in MACUSA …which I don't know if you guys have ever been around in there? Colleen had done such a staggering job with the costumes. There were extras everywhere with this kind of 1920s, sort of witchy vibe. And what's amazing about the scale of the production is we come on to sort of rehearse and already there are background artists doing their [thing], and little kids being taken to be shown the Salem witches and everyone in their little outfits and it was all encompassing. That was an amazing moment, too.

How much information besides the script, if any, did you get on your character, on his background, on what's in his future?

REDMAYNE: I got to meet J.K. Rowling so I had about three or four months prepping the film. And just about a month I think before we started filming, I was here in Leavesden and J.K. Rowling came and it was this sort of brilliant or slightly odd moment in which David Yates introduced her and I knew that she was only gonna be here for an hour and I think I was like, "Hello, nice to meet you!” And just basically grilled her for an hour. She came to set the other day and I was like, "I am so sorry."  But it was so phenomenal. She's so passionate about her characters and she has such a sense of their whole three-dimensional world and their history. I don't know whether it's just a paranoia from recently having played people that lived or living and sort of having all this world of research that you can go and do. But what's great about Newt is you can just go to J.K. Rowling and she gives it all.

We were talking about the four of you as actors, but can we talk about the four of you as characters, because Newt is sort of,new to this whole world. What does he make of these three when he meets them?

REDMAYNE: Well, he bumps into Tina, who had worked for MACUSA, she was an Auror, and she's had her wings clipped in some ways and Katherine plays her. There's a, I suppose, a work ethic to her and do things by the book and desperation to re-prove herself. And then, her sister who Alison plays, Queenie. We were shooting a scene in the wand permit office where the two sisters are now working yesterday. And just the difference in set design in their desks, you know, Queenie's was filled with powder, blusher and sort of totally chaotic and you know, whereas, Katherine's was much more organized and on it.

And Queenie just has this wonderful, sort of free spirited quality. And Dan is just—I mean Jacob is just sort of caught up in the mix but has the warmest of hearts and he sort of grounds this thing. I suppose, in some ways, he's the eyes of the audience 'cause he gets pulled into this world and it's that mixture of growing abysses—terrifying. And please don't make me go back into the muggle world (laughs). It's this sort of this amazing amalgam, you know.

Trip Down Our Memory Lane - pjm

Summary: As if compiling clips from different points of your friendship in a short video wasn’t a good enough rollercoaster of emotions, you decided that after leading the man of your dreams through nearly twenty years of footage, a confession seemed like a perfect way to end it.

Genre: Best friends to lovers!au , F L U F F

Words: 3k

Warnings: none!

Early A/N: The summary bloody sucks but I don’t even know how to summarize this,,, help

Planning and implementation of amazing and innovative surprises, were always considered as your specialties. Although your friend circle and family tree weren’t huge, you took that as a chance to put additional effort and work harder to make each surprise better than the last one. Whoever was blessed to get a present from you, would turn into a gasping and astonished mess in a matter of seconds. Sometimes, they were extremely emotional, causing a few tears to fall here and there, but usually, that kind was intended only for those who you’ve known for a long time.

Today marked the 13th of October, also known as one of the most important dates throughout the whole year. It was Jimin’s day, the day of your best friend of nearly two decades. The only problem was, Jimin knew you inside and out, knew how observant you were and was often next to you during creative times. That usually led to his surprisingly accurate predictions of gifts/surprises, which frequently caused trouble with planning Jimin’s own present without being found out.

This year, you decided to do something special and amongst two other beautifully wrapped boxes, prepared a twenty-minute video. Jimin mentioned a thousand times how your regular midnight birthday texts were his most favorite part of the day. Deciding that it was time to step up your game, you created a more powerful version of a birthday, recalling-the-history-of-our-friendship, message.

“Now, miss excuse me, who are you and what did you do to my best friend?” As if on que, Jimin carelessly walked through the door, knocking a long-forgotten act between the two of you. For a quick moment, you pondered what his statement was about, when Jimin decided to bring up the answer himself. Holding up his new iPhone, he let you read a painfully short dialogue of four sentences that were exchanged between him and a person nicknamed “no.1 hypewoman ✌”.

no.1 hypewoman ✌ - 09:42

⇢ Happy birthday! You free today?

You – 09:55

⇢ Hey, thanks, and uh, depends when

no.1 hypewoman ✌ - 09:57

⇢ 5pm? I’d like you to come over?

You – 10:06

⇢ Sure

Jimin was slightly taken aback to say at least, you acted distant the last few days, the last two texts that you sent were three days ago. Quick and short ‘good night xxx’ and ‘ew I’m never using x’s again’ delivered a few minutes before midnight. But it was okay, Jimin was an extremely considerate person, yet, he couldn’t help feeling slightly annoyed at the lack of communication on such a special date. Of course, you hadn’t forgotten, but such a vague message when all he was used to were paragraphs and paragraphs of adoration sent the moment the clock ticked twelve.

Surely, he could only be overreacting, but there was also a certain amount of interest lacking from your side. Or was there?

“Your best friend is right here, flesh and bones, Mr. Park” your hands ran over your body, as to emphasize the words and their effect. “Now I’d please you to move to the living room, I have something to show you”. You disappeared into your room, letting the boy seat himself on a white sofa, placed right before your television. Jimin’s eyes lit up at the indirect mention of a present, you actually had something for him, therefore your apparent lack of attentiveness was only an act. Gosh, of course that it was, you’re so naïve to your own deceiving Jimin.  

Once you came back, and the USB was safely connected with the huge screen of your new TV, you switched a couple of channels, finally finding the one connected to the detachable object. Jimin’s eyes were firmly fixed on all the colors flashing before them as your fingers fumbled with black buttons on a small television remote. He wasn’t aware of what you were doing, nor what kind of present you had for him, but he let you be, nervously anticipating whatever was to come. Finally locating the video amongst thousands of others, you pressed play and watched as all shades faded away.

Suddenly, an extremely old picture of the two of you appeared, making you smile. Just like now, Jimin’s eyes were transforming into thin lines while laughing at the sight of your beautiful face and soft, tiny hands covered in mud. You were wearing a thin summer dress that was thoroughly covered in dirt, while Jimin seemed to be entirely clean, not even a drop of mud decorating the expanse of his fancy summer set.

“I’m pretty sure that the both of us wouldn’t be able to describe what was happening if it wasn’t for our mothers that would repeat it on every single family gathering”, your voice suddenly rang throughout the room, slightly scaring Jimin. He turned to face you, still unaware that the sound wasn’t live, it was pre-recorded and put in as a continuous part of this beautiful video. Motioning for him to avert his gaze back to the TV, you smiled, noticing that he was vaguely mouthing each and every word.

“This was nearly two decades ago, when we were little kids, as obviously shown on the picture. I used to have a special hiding place in one of the playgrounds in our city, that no one really bothered to explore, hence I took it as my own prized piece of land. Until you, Park Jimin, didn’t walk in through the bushes and began arguing that it was your own space. Frankly, our argument was a casual exchange of “I’m going to tell this to my mom!” and “I got here first!”, without any action actually taking place. That’s when I decided to sit down on the ground, refusing to move from my territory and completely ignoring the fact that my bottom was positioned deep inside a puddle of mud. I tried to scratch the itchy spot on my nose, which resulted in my face becoming a muddy canvas. You were such a snake and began laughing, loud enough to draw the attention of your mother that was apparently nearby and always carried a camera around. Shortened, this is our first picture and place in which we met”

Jimin’s wasn’t blinking, eyes wide open and fixed on to the disappearing pictures. You moved closer to hug him, watching as the screen faded away into pitch black, only to reveal the next part.

Once again, it was a video, although this time, you were nowhere to be seen, while Jimin was in full shot. It was a recording taken the night of your graduation. Being best friends for the longest time ever, both of you were obviously each other’s choice for prom. That night, Jimin looked like the most beautiful angel, which could be an ironic statement because of his fully black attire. Jimin wore a black button-up shirt that was neatly tucked in his black dress pants. Equally as dark, but shinier than the rest, Jimin’s shoes were polished to true perfection – you could swear it was possible to see one’s reflection in them. His hair was side parted and freshly dyed, an ashy-silver shade now covering his previously dark strands.

Through the beginning of the recording, it wasn’t possible to see the way you were dressed, but you could still remember being the most flattering female on the whole party. Your dress was perfect for your figure; a pitch black, floor length piece, lace decorating the top of it, while also creating thin, but long sleeves. The patterns on those sleeves were beautifully detailed roses, which were always one of your favorite flowers.  

“Jimin”, your voice once again sounded through the speakers, “are you ready?”. The man had his back turned in your direction, slightly bending over and fixing something on his shirt. Upon not receiving an answer, you let yourself walk further in, peeking around to see what he was up to. Jimin noticed you approaching, and after realizing that he will need some help, decided to ask you for it (in the end really, who else was there to ask?).

“I need help with my tie” Jimin replied, turning around and audibly making you gasp. The sensitive microphone attached to the top of your DSLR, caught even the smallest of shallow breaths that left your lips. He looked like God and Devil combined. So pure, but so sinful at the same time.  

Setting the camera on your bed-side table, you turned it around, still letting it record the small pre-prom interaction that was promised to have much meaning in the future. At least to show your kids how nice it was to have someone like Jimin in your life.  

“You’ll never learn how to tie them, will you?” You asked, laughing while untying the tight knot Jimin somehow managed to create.  

“Well then, I wouldn’t have the pleasure of you doing it for me, would I?” He bit back in a cocky manner, biting his lip and raising an eyebrow. Just in that moment, through the sudden glint of your eyes, when they found Jimin’s, it was possible to note the moment in which you fell into an abyss. The exact second when your brain connected the dots in a quick impulse, sounding an alarm that screamed danger obnoxiously loud.  

Although red lights were going off before your eyes, demanding immediate action and distancing from the Devil himself, you smiled and with shaky hands, continued to tighten the material around Jimin’s neck.  

And although it was supposed to be wrong, it didn’t feel like it.

You could swear that there was a thin layer of tears painting Jimin’s eyes, but to be honest, you were holding back from letting your own tears fall. Even though you were the one who hand-picked these clips and put them together, they always managed to bring back the feeling of nostalgia. That kind of emptiness that makes you miss every second from the past, that makes you realize how old you’re actually getting, how all those moments you’re looking back as memories now, were taken for granted.  

You wanted to reach out and wipe his tears, to kiss his cheeks and tell him it’s not supposed to make him cry. You wanted to hold his small hand in yours, to trace calming circles and assure him that the video was only meant to be throwback material. But way too soon, the screen was fading to black and then fading in to another clip once again. A series of short videos that were taken through snapchat played one after another, showing different scenarios with random and “quirky” captions.  

“He believed me this was an exotic and special cocktail, when it’s ketchup mixed with tequila,,, someone pick this drunk man up” The shot was shaky, your laughter barely audible in the background, muffled by exceptionally loud music. Jimin was drinking some thick red substance from a transparent plastic cup - how convenient for an after-prom party.

“One devastatingly sad and one extremely attractive skeleton” In this one, Jimin was leaning on your shoulder, smiling into the camera as both of you showed off the messy but special Halloween makeup. Honestly, being so last-minute, Jimin had to come up with a very original “couple” costume, aka usual skeleton makeup and black attire that was spray painted in shapes of bones (more like stick figures). Somehow, your best friend managed to wear your own artistic creature way better than expected, while on the other side, he kind of failed paying you back. You had a lot of fun, that’s what mattered the most.

“She helped an elderly woman pass the street, then came running back and asked “will God accept me now?”” Jimin was holding you so tight and recording from a weird upper angle (that somehow worked out for his handsome face), while you were laughing quietly, face buried into his chest, enjoying the fluffy fabric of his hoodie.

“Someone audition him up, because this man is such a pussy” The recording angle was once again, strange, your body comfortably positioned on the sofa, while holding your small device way too low. Jimin was playing Just dance 2017, chasing the unobtainable megastar in Scream & Shout. Although every time, Jimin rocked your ass, you still challenged him often. Being competitive didn’t help neither of you in this situation.

Many more videos rolled in quick, reaching the last one relatively fast. Now, the doubts about it arose again, anxiety bubbling up and second thoughts pilling inside of your mind. It seemed like a great idea a few days ago, but is it really?  

The video didn’t have any caption, plus whatever was on the screen was barely visible. It was 2am, if to believe the analog clock that was caught in the shot for a short moment. Obviously, it was from your point of view, and soon enough it was clear why. Jimin was snuggling close to you, under the covers, hugging your waist tight, eyes closed. Just then, as if reserved, slight peek of the moon through thick clouds allowed its shine to light up a small portion of your room. Jimin’s hair was all over the place, cheeks puffy while nose red. It was the night of his extremely hard breakup. He remembered now.

“She might’ve not loved you, but believe me, my angelic boy, I always will” you whispered quietly, turning around and kissing his forehead; taking a second to stare at such a divine prescience next to you. Gosh, you loved him with your everything.

“And whenever someone crushes your heart, mine will always be there to mend it”

At that line, Jimin’s tears fell, quiet and unnoticeable, for some unidentified reason. Was it because of the flashbacks to the most heartbreaking moment of his life? Was it because he knew your love was platonic, and that whatever was about to happen will only hurt you? You couldn’t tell and the suspension was holding your heart in a choking hold. It was only a good idea to let him know you’ll always be there, always next to him if needed, but also how much you cared while doing so. On the other hand, it wasn’t a good idea to confess if all that you’ll get in return are empty words of pitiful comfort.

Yet, Jimin’s hand found yours and without any hesitation, held it tight. Then, he turned around, locking his teary eyes with your lost ones, letting the clip, and with it the whole presentation end. He bit his lip, uncertain which words to use in his expressions, hell, he was even uncertain about his feelings right now.

“Why?” He asked, scared that one wrong word could ruin everything, when he really didn’t want to. “Why me? I’m not someone you deserve, I-”

That was your yellow light, the one that you’ll rush through before it turned red.

“I got so used to having you next to me, it just felt so right to not want anyone else but you”, starting, your words began to jump over each other, creating the slightest bit of trouble for your tongue that tried to emphasize each of them perfectly. His eyes, although glassy, provided so much comfort, even in crucial or important happenings like this; they once again served as a remind as to why your heart beats only for him.

“Holding your hand is an extremely familiar feeling that’s always somehow new each time it happens” shrugging with your shoulders, you smiled, motioning towards his hand. “Much like now, your hand has been in mine hundreds of times, but has it ever been like this? No”. Jimin smiled, tightening his hold and nodding along. That actions once again gave you a slight rush of confidence, the previously yellow, now green on the next street light.

“I’ve always thought that you were the best thing that has ever happened to me, you know? It’s a really cliché thing to say, but where would I be if I hadn’t met you?” Truly, this was a serious statement, there were so many things that have happened in your life in which you just felt so, lost. Lost and afraid. Yet, Jimin was there, to redirect you to the right path and always bring up the “you’re not alone” mindset. “Who knows when I would’ve given up trying to stand up, if you weren’t there to pick me up and remind me it’s okay to fall, that bruises will heal?”

“For all these years, I was nothing else but content with being in love with you”, you stated, immense amount of courage washing over your body in a matter of moments. With the way Jimin attentively listened to every vowel and consonant that rolled off your tongue, you chose to pick words carefully, taking time to find perfect terms for description.

“I fell in love with the special way you sing when you think no one is listening, or the foolish way you drag vowels when we sing together. How your eyes turn into thin lines while truthfully laughing, or how you take into account every little detail before creating an opinion of something. How considerate and understanding you are, wanting to hear everyone’s thoughts before making a decision. Your 6th sense of identifying what’s wrong in a of a quick snap of fingers. Gosh I-”

There were so many little, but also big things that made Jimin this whole lovable and divine creature. And really, you were about to continue on for days, only if the speech wasn’t rudely interrupted by -

Jimin’s lips on yours.

“As much as I’d like to hear more of my great qualities, kissing you seems so much more attractive to me”

“Yeah? But I was spilling my heart out to you and you interrupted me, that’s rude-”  

“But you love this rude boy”

“Yeah I do”

“That’s cute”

“Say it back you coward”

“I love you, I always have and I always will”
