“There’s nothing wrong with being different.”
Tumblr media
Pairing: Dad!Spencer reid x Dad!reader
Description: Spencer and his husband talk to their daughter when she gets in trouble for punching someone (daughter is 10)
Warnings: Little bit of homophobia, lemme know if there's anything else!
Flufftober day 8: Kidfic/Petfic
A/N: I feel so bad cus I'm like a week behind on flufftober but I'm trying guys I swear 😭 anyways proof read by the lovely @ssaspenceswife!! (Totally check out her works it's way better than mine lmao)
Tumblr media
Y/n sighed as he stepped into the drivers seat of the car, spencer sliding in next to him. They had been enjoying their day off of work together, lounging while their daughter was at school for the day. That was of course until Spencers phone rang…
Spencer lounged on top of Y/n, practically flopped on top of him, the tv played some show quietly in the back round, but the couple were much too focused on each other to quite care. They had been discussing Poes works until spencers phone starts buzzing on the coffee table, alearting him of an incoming call.
Y/n looked at spencer curiously, silently asking him to pick it up, and find out what was going on. But when the familiar crease between spencers brow became apparent his husband frowned at the discontentment of his lover. Spencer gave Y/n the universal signal to wait and answered the phone.
“Hello?”
(hello are you doctor reid?)
“yes thats me, is there something wrong?”
(we apologize for interrupting your busy works schedule but you need to come pick up your daughter, shes been suspended.)
“Suspended?!”
This finally caught Y/ns attention as he looked at his husband confused. Spencer stared back equally puzzled and continued the conversation.
(She physically assulted another student, and is suspended until the end of the week. One guardian registered with he school may come pick your daughter up.)
"okay, thank you someone will be there to pick her up soon. Buh bye-"
spencer seemed to want the conversation over with as soon as possible when he said his goodbyes to the receptionist.
"Spence- what happened, was it the school? Is Esther okay?"
"she punched a kid.."
Y/ns face fell in disappointment- and then it turned to anger
"we taught her to never resort to violence?! What happened?"
Spencer just sighed and raised himself from his previous sitting position to start making his way to the door. "I'll go pick her up, we'll talk about it when we get back.
Needless to say the car ride home was silent. Spencer was angry but he knew better than to take it out on his daughter. It would only end in a fight, and that got them nowhere
finally they arrived at thé family's apartment- Esther's other father stood in the attached living room with his arms crossed over his chest. Esther only looked down shamefully, gripping the straps of her beloved astronaut backpack. Y/n sighed in resignation and invited his daughter to sit on couch; sandwiched in between her dads. Y/n started;
"Esther- I thought we taught you to be better this, you know better than that- better than violence."
"I know dad I'm sorry- but he deserved it!
this time it's Spencer's turn to speak, "no one deserves to be punched Esther- and you know that"
both Esther and her fathers attention are pulled away from eachother when they hear a snort/giggle from y/n after Spencer said no one deserves to be punched. Spencer gives his husband a warning glare and that in combination with the aforementioned husbands antics, lightened the mood enough to release a small giggle from the child. After Spencer pulled his eyes away from his husband and put the attention back on his daughter she started to explain herself ; " well this one deserved it- he always mean to you guys- I was just standing up for you!” the couple looked up from their daughter and at each other with confusion. Y/n was the first to shake off the confusion and ask Esther what she ment.
“How would he be mean to us, we dont know this boy?”
“he always says that having 2 dads is weird and un natural. and i always tell him its not and its normal but he wont listen! and then he kept saying means and untrue s stuff and i- i, i couldnt stop myself! he was just being such a dick!”
spencer sent esther a stern warning glare at her language before his and his husbands face softened. Y/n reached out and pulled esther in for a hug asking “bug, why didnt you tell us- we could’ve done something?”
Esther just sighs and hugs back before answering “i told the teachers, and they didn‘t do anything..” Esther voice was deflated and when she told her fathers about the schools lack of response to her cries for help, the men shared a look that said they’d talk about it later.
spencer joined the hug forming one big ball of reid family on the couch. When spencer and Y/n finally released their daughter from the binding hug spencer put one hand on each of esther’s shoulders and looked her straight in the eyes saying “having two dads, never a bad thing, and i dont ever want you to think anything different. Understand?” before Esther could respond Y/n cut in and said, “and theres nothing wrong with being different either- just look at your dad, he’s different and a hottie” Y/n winked at his husband and Esther just exclaimed “ewwww!!” loudly, making both spencer and Y/n laugh out loud. Hoping to lighten the mood spencer responded to his husbands comment with a “save it for later- handsome” and a mischievous smile.
After a family dinner, (with lots of subtle encouragement and affirmations) Esther was feeling better, but tired. So she climbed into bed, received a kiss from both her fathers, and promptly fell asleep before her dad could even turn on the night light. Y/n and spencer were thankful for her almost immediate restful state, needing a moment alone to finally process the events of the day.
when the couple retreated back to their shared master bedroom Y/n took the opportunity of his husband just standing there to engulf him in a big hug, needing the familiar comfort of his husband. And there they stood, for who knows how long. At least 5 minutes. maybe 10 if were being realistic. But hey what can I say, they hadn’t had a moment alone since their daughter to home and lets just d say they needed it.
Spencer was the first to break the comfortable silence, saying “i still cant believe the school didn’t do anything about it- remind me to call them tomorrow before we leave for work.” Y/n just nodded and gave spencer a chaste kiss on the lips- leading him over to the bed and pulling him down on top of him. spencer chuckled and reminded Y/n that they were still wearing their day clothes, and that dental health was extremely important yet they hadn’t brushed their teeth yet. Y/n chuckled and hummed all smiley at his husbands antics.
After brushing their teeth together and y/n (jokingly) trying to get spencer to sleep with no clothes- despite the not very well insulted apartment and the blistering cold just outside the apartment walls. Y/n’s defense was that he could keep spencer warm. needles to say Y/n didn’t win that argument. but the couple still went to bed smiling, curled up in each others arms, leaving the issues of the day for tomorrow.
The End

Court of darkness ships
Explained *biased and /hj*
Tumblr media
Guy x Toa
Oh this just reeks of trauma and internalized homophobia you broken broken men!
Do you actually hate him or do you hate him because your attracted to him and you've been conditioned to think that's wrong and sinful and your channeling all that into anger toward the person your the person your attracted to and supposed to hate more than anybody and the "feuding families" provides you with an excuse.
Like babe closet is glass, its giving obsession, fan behavior, go be homoerotic somewhere else😐
Mfs glare at each other so often you think they're staring into each other's eyes
Mfs are about to kiss💀💀
Spouting insults at eachother at any chance they get
Gay as hell to have an arch nemesis, tf he arching? His back?
"I can't stand the sight of you" "I hate the sight of you more" like bruh might as well be a declaration of love💀
Guy x Fenn
This fanfic.
If you tell me these two haven't had sexual intercourse you're lying.
They've literally kissed before
IN CANON‼
MULTIPLE TIMES‼‼
Guy lets that man get away with a little too much with him if you get what I mean🤨🤨
Guy x Jasper
What straight man acts like thatt!!
Again the closet is glass
You don't have to act like you not boyfriends we already know, you straight up be flirting in front of everyone anyway
Nah cus why they act like a married couple in their honeymoon phase💀💀
The other princes have a valet, Guy gets a life partner💀
These two act like they're in a polyamorous relationship with MC no matter which one MC is specifically dating
No way these two haven't kissed
They walk into a room together and the air gets a little fruitier
Hold on-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
🤨🏳️‍🌈⁉️
Guy x Roy
It's giving "I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me"
Roy literally gets jealous when other people have Guys attention
Roy's lil boy crush on Guy is sometimes a little embarrassing like bro is whipped💀💀
Like bro is so in love with him💀💀
Guy x Lynt
Guy secretly likes being cuddled.
This pairing is proof nobody can say no to Lynt
"Let go of me, I'm not your pillow." *dosen't struggle* *makes no effort to move* *ends up either napping with him or staying there the whole time for Lynts comfort*
Lynt likes Guys smell and Guy simply does nothing about it
I bet Lynt can tell when Guy uses a new body wash
Toa x Lynt
I've learned the ship name for this qelkedia and I love it
this fic.
Nah but for real tho these two are actually besties like
Lynt was the first person to give Toa a candy when they were children, if that doesn't sound like the beginning of a budding romance idk what is🙄🙄
Like imagine it, Toa(🏳️‍🌈 in denial) crushing on Lynt this cuddly cute bean and every time he does Toas having a major internal gay panic cus "I swear I don't like men, this is just normal Lynt behavior"
The internalized homophobia is hitting😳
Lynt x Roy
Imagine Lynts consort path right
Except Lynt and Roy fall in love instead.
That's all I have to say about that.
Roy also takes care of Lynt😭😭
Who else would be fully willing to CARRY Lynt to their S rank lectures because he wants him to go to class for once and its apparently common😭😭
"Will you carry me?" "If I must"
That's his boyfriend yall.
Violet x Jasper
Tell me they're not exes. I dare you
They used to date and Jasper did something (cus let's be honest why wouldn't it be Jaspers fault) and that's why Violet doesn't trust him
"Be wary of Jasper, he is a bad bad man" "to what do I owe such slanderous claims😊" "YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHY"
"While I have you here, would you join me in town for a drink?" "Would you happen to be inviting me out on a date?" "Maybe I am😏" "THERE YOU GO AGAIN, FLIRTING WITH ANYTHING THAT WALKS" "you wound me, not just anyone meets my standards😏" "... do you enjoy lying Jasper?"
Tension so thick you can cut it with a knife.
Violet does however trust him and respect him as a valet but she will drag his name through the dirt if she can help it
Half the time she wont even say his name outright💀 it's always some iteration with spectacles💀💀
Idk for some reason I can see them having a reconciliation like say Jaspers in the valets quarters and Violet comes in but like is trying to avoid him but ultimately fails and then they're left alone in the valets quarters and idk have a heart to heart or some shit
Violet x Grayson
Tell me they wouldn't be drinking buddies at some point
So many times over in events and consort routes has Violet gotten drunk after being dumped by a man
Like if she was just broken up with best believe she'll pick up a bottle, and look Gray can't hold his liquor for the life of him
What ever happens happens I rest my case.
Like Grayson would obviously refuse a drink knowing he can't control himself when hes intoxicated but Violet, probably way deep in her cups by now and really emotional dosen't wanna drink alone and probably doesn't wanna be alone in general since she just got dumped so Gray gives in promising to pace himself which doesn't work cus Grayson guzzles liquor down like juice like he doesn't know he a fucking lightweight
Again whatever happens happens, let them decide how they feel about it once they're sober
Violet x Tino
These two are besties yall
Violet complains about men meanwhile the perfect man is right there🙄
Tino has nursed her back to health when drunk after being dumped multiple occasions carrying her to bed making sure shes safe(canon)
Stop looking for love and let love find you baby girl😩😩
Like I can imagine Tino carrying an almost black out drunk Violet to her room cus another man decided to be fucking BLIND and like Tino leaving a glass of water at her bedside and Violet deciding to be clingy is like whoa Tino don't go😣😣 and Tinos like 😐girl go to bed😐/j but Violet just wants someone to hold if only for the time being. And Tino, sweet sweet hearted Tino is weak to the asks of some who truely seems vulnerable and needs a bit of comforting, stay with her until she falls asleep♡
Violet x Hawk
Idk where this one came from but I like it!
Violet x Zev
Yall remember when Zev was flirting with Violet in the princes path
Tell me they don't have history right now
*Violet turning down his date invitation*
Zev: MMM! I love it when you ignore me!😫
They went on like 2-3 dates, the issue lies where Violet is actually looking for a partner while Zev is just casually dating
Violet x Mc
These bitches gay.
Nothing about this is heterosexual.
Nah cus why both of them have admitted they wouldn't mind getting with the other
That's so gay.
Dia x Fenn
... you just had to be there
You know exactly what I'm talking about.
Dia x Sherry
I know what yall thinking
What?
But have yall seen they're interactions in the short stories😭😭
In Dias path itself Sherry says to mc that it would be nice to know Dia as well as her like😖 baby
In the short stories it mostly them bumping into eachother and Sherry's like wow your so pretty and you should smile more
One in particular where they run into eachother and Dias trying to get away from her(like he does with every one) and he smiles politely and says he has somewhere to go and Sherry's like wow you have such a beautiful smile, you should smile more and Dias like "...thanks😳" and blushes and at the compliment then Sherry's like gimme one more big smile and he does smile, hes like 😊 and shes like I hope you have cause to smile more often, smiles make for more harmonious communications♡
That's so cute yall
In another story they wanna borrow the same book from the library but Dias like you can have it let's her have the book but the Sherry's like we should read it together😄💖
Like?????????
Is this a slow burn romance or something😳😳
No but fr Dia acts annoyed but hes actually so nice to her😭
Rio x Sherry
Not my personal feat, I prefer them as friends
But they cute asf
I love a good friends to lovers moment
Especially knowing they're known each other since they were children
Childhood friends to lovers😋😋
Also the height difference is so cute
Rio is 6'2-6'3 and Sherry's literally 5 feet tall💀
Shorty has to crain her neck to look up at him and Rios like *lifts her up by the armpits* there😄
Roy lowkey ships them but the big brother in him is like nah
It's not that he doesn't think Rio is a good guy it's just that that's his baby sister!!
The day Sherry gets a paramour is the day Roy dies a little inside.
Addis Ira x Gilbert Qelsum
These is literally the most hateful mfs.
Traumatized their children and are shitty people in general
Why are they the only kings that mutually like each others
Gilbert trusts Addis
Hes the only one of the kings that he does trust btw
And Addis dotes on Gilbert
Why are you doting on him-- are yall in a relationship🤨⁉️
Nah cus why all the other kings is like if one trusts another, the other is scared of them or one likes and the other thinks they irritating or they both just hate eachother
I bet they bond over disliking Roc Avari--
I'm stuck on Addis Ira doting on Gilbert
How you doting on a grown ass man but not yo child--
Sus🤨
Tumblr media
Moral of the story, Guy is fruity as fuck, gayest bitch in the building, Violet got hella rizz😩 and Toa and Lance are step siblings--

*listens to gilcu playlist*
*gets overwhelmed with gilcu feels*
oough...
I started writing this in the tags but you know what i'll just write it up here
I just have so many THOUGHTS about them. Like they're so toxic but they have the potential to be so good, and I just love imagining the progression of their dynamic.
From barely tolerating each other because they live under the same roof, work with or under the same person. To slowly warming up to each other and getting used to each other's presence. Coming to expect the other to just be there, so used to it that they start to see it as a given, take it for granted.
And then comes the point where one of them gets hurt and suddenly that normalcy they've accepted is threatened and they're hit with the realization of 'I don't want them to Not Be Here'.
And they don't know what to do with that feeling. Don't want to acknowledge that they might actually care about each other, about this person they didn't even realize they'd started to see as an actual person. This accidental fondness for someone that started as a tenuous ally at best, who has somehow managed to become a pillar, however small, of their existence here. Enough that if it were gone they would notice, it would affect said existence, in a way they wouldn't be able to ignore.
But like. Cu hates Gilgamesh. Or he did, at least. Still mostly hates him. But he's seen the way he gets on with the kids around Fuyuki, the small silly things that he seems to enjoy about Fuyuki and this time period. He's come to know his quirks, seen beyond his initial view of him as just an arrogant and powerful asshole. He's seen how Gilgamesh goes out of his way to pester him at work, when he's fishing; how he seeks him out for attention, how catlike he is, and there is something almost slightly endearing about it- not that Cu would ever, ever admit that, especially not to Gilgamesh's face.
And Gil, he doesn't care about Cu Chulainn. He's an irritation at worst, and a decent enough plaything at best, but that's where it ends, obviously. He's not strong enough to be considered a worthy enemy- but he is strong, and he is skilled, and there's something amusing in riling him up and seeing how many of Gil's tricks he's learned since their last battle. There's something comfortable about being able to piss him off so thoroughly, and knowing that he'll be over it within an hour or so, will go right back to treating him casually, or cheerfully talking about his garden, or his latest catch, or something that happened at one of his jobs... That doesn't mean anything though, he doesn't value Cu any more than he would any other person he interacts with in this city. Obviously.
It doesn't mean anything that they know what each other's favorite foods and hobbies are, that's just a consequence of living together. It doesn't mean anything that Cu wonders what Gilgamesh is doing on the days when he doesn't come to bother him at work. It doesn't mean anything that Gilgamesh just so happens to always show up where Cu is and chooses him as his target over other Servants in Fuyuki. None of these things mean anything, they insist to themselves, stubbornly ignoring the growing something at the heart of the nonexistent relationship between them.
And just the potential of it all from there. The directions it can grow in. The back and forth love-hate relationship as their dynamic slowly but surely develops into a sort of friendship, something they struggle to ignore and deny, to a deeper bond.
anyway I love them your honor

Hello! I finally looked at the lyrics for hitsuji ga ippiki, and this happened in the span of... An hour? Mind the bad wording and not-as-done-up presentation as the previous ones! Tumblr formatting is the death of me, truly.
I'm taking my translations from the vocaloid fandom page and mirapaint on twitter, please bear with my translation differences struggle!
Enjoy the sheep analysis:)
this self loathing is a personal best, I'll ignore it - I want to act pretentious, desperado, if I can't? I'll self loathe.
man?????? an has been masking her whole life to be on top and consciously or not she's realised she isn't way ahead of expectations now, she can't put on her forward face of just going with the flow, her minds going mile a minute to do everything, to be well liked and loved but maybe it's projection. Kohane isn't used to this feeling, or atleast so strongly, so she hides from it, the cause?? I don't actually know I haven't read any new events but it could be from her standard of feeling like the odd one out.
this scapegoat is none of my business, I'm wrestling my own - this is a scapegoat, this roar (?) , It's like a curse that doesn't fade.
they're off the deep end I wonder why kashika and aogu are so damn idealising of that./s. I wouldn't read it as direct for Akito, being he's aware of Touya suffering but is turning a blind eye, more like.. he thinks because they're both going through it it's like okay? Or that he feels he can't intrude on it because that's went so well in the past. And Touya has had a whooole damn thing with constantly using a scapegoat of his history with music to escape it and not try and further himself, so he either feels guilty that he's ran so much, or that the history itself exists, or like. both. could always be both/guilt of holding everyone back because nobody in this damn group can communicate with each other that they all have the same issue.
I don't get what the hell the roar line means,,,, it's bugging me. Like,,. Passion? In other parts they mention passion becoming pain so it ties in and fits Touya,,, but????? Roar??
Oh is it cus his scapegoat, this doesn't seem like a word anymore, aren't meant to break from pattern as like a mindless sheep? So it's breaking the pattern and yelling out?
Or maybe it means arguments..? Like social/relationship scars?? I have no damn clue here
-right now, theres a 100 sheep here in a mud boat waiting to sink.
Someday the sun comes down, they opted out.
One ran away from it, 1-2-3.
so there's a 100 people starting music on shabby, baseless starts, with no real desire to become something real. I'll bet the 1-2-3 sheep that 'ran off' would be vbs- An. I originally said Kohane for the obvious reasons but An hasn't ran from anything. She started in music, she'll end in music. I'll say Kohane ran from like her past self, but she didn't start in music but I think it sticks. An, with Kohane, doesn't actually sing this part, so I think it can go for either however I'm using the next like as backup lol. And obvs the vbs connection to everything happening in the night where they can have their 'true selves'. Please bear in mind I'm using two diff translations here too lol.
- you can say whatever but, tell me you're pretending to be an oblivious fool
an is talkin to herself isn't that fun! Obviously it sounds like it could be to meiko, but what's meiko, if not an extension of her? :) an doesn't even know who *she* is.
- you're just a lonely sheep on your own, let me hear that voice of yours.
With the filter, it makes me think this is An's projection of Kohane, much like how it happened in moonlight yk? Berating her, yet pushing her forward anyways to sing. I think An has a real complex going on about Kohane. Loving her and constantly pushing herself down because she adores Kohane and her talent so much, so it almost seems like an, consciously or not, thinks Kohane is sorta like controlling her..?
- there's one sheep in the dark. Let's tear it all to pieces **|** O, lone sheep, go tear the darkness to pieces, the entire thing
Those are very different translations? Most are quite similar but those are. Hm.
The first one implies what I'd expect, a sheep out of of the bunch, a black sheep, and suggesting to sorta like maim the imposter. sung by Meiko/Kohane/Touya, which for the human two, could very easily be fingers they're pointing at themselves. The other translation?? Implies the lonely sheep is like angry and wants to tear away at the darkness of the others, also befitting for Kohane and touya, but the darkness of their partners, not supported by the song earlier, I'd say, but supported by the cards. ( But then again Kohane, in the cards, is a lone sheep in the darkness so, could also be her being the lone like prophet sheep to help em lol)
- if this beautiful night won't ever end, why don't we counting numbers?
Counting sheep! Classic method to falling asleep, but the night is a common theme. Usually seen, obviously, in the characters revealing their truest selves, pretty or not. But I think this more implies they're keeping it to be "the night." They've crowded the sky with darkness, with insecurity and doubt... And what did Kohane do, at the start, when she self loathes? She sleeps!~ so, meiko suggests the same, counting all the "sheep" here, so they can sleep away their loathing.
- when you become the only sheep, what do you want after that?(m,an,ak)
-im a sheep made to soothe, could you leave me be? / This version of me is a lonely one could you leave me be, now?
I'm being cursed by multiple translations again.
being the only sheep atleast probs means like, the others are healing and not wallowing in pain anymore, or they've just moved on, leaving behind a final sheep. An and Akito are scared of being left behind because of their fears. standard vbs. And with that translation, what do you want after that is also reminiscent of moonlight to me but I probably shouldn't compare em so much.
so translation one. back to an's identity crisis of what she is outside of other people, wanting to be alone. The other translation is pretty similar the word difference just makes her seem more dramatic, "this version of me" like... Alone now, in the dark night, because everyone else has left? I think it makes sense, aswell as possibly linking into meiko again, using her as a stopper and holder of her feelings. And obviously continuing, an wallows, asking to be alone.
- you're just a solitary sheep here, now, defy and move beyond.
Kohane, the real one, isn't joining An in her pains, but she is encouraging her. Telling her that she is alone, everyone is starting (to try to) grow. She's telling her to like pull up her boot straps and become more than she was made to be. Much like An did for Kohane.
AND BACK TO TRANSLATION CURSES!
- if this state of misery is a personal best, if you give it a name, it's like a curse **|** if this is misery it's my pb, if I were to give it a name; it's a curse.
That distinction of if I name it, it's a curse. Or if I had to call it by something, it'd be a curse.
The first one I like more, the idea that if you acknowledge sorrow, it latches on and increases into a leech, a curse. The second is just calling misery and hatred a curse in of it self but I think the first one is more special. especially coming from Akito.
- with "something" that's no longer just a hobby, you're bound to get hurt more and more.
An just lamenting about how music is something she has to be passionate about now, she is actually trying to do something, and when you want to learn and grow, you make mistakes. And mistakes hurt like hell, especially when you're surrounded by people who, you think, expect better of you. This kinda angle makes me think an never like.. truly strived to surpass rad weekend, the same way every kid says they'll be president (or some equivalent) yk? It's not that she didn't want to, but she loved music more for the fun and joy of singing, and turning what you love into a job will always be kinda draining in some way, not having freedom.
- haven't you been told it? "I love you". I can't stay here forever, so, (t) ( could also be, that " did they make you say it?'I love you' can't exist for all of time, so,"
- let's go on a one-night, two-day trip to hell and flourish in heresy, I mean. (M)
the double translations AAAAA. This making me damn insane.
The second one makes more sense to me, Touya doubting any love he's given because he feels as if he shouldn't be around everyone, even doubting that they'll all stay together and the fact everything will just fall apart in the end. The first one makes it seem like he's the hesitant one, unwilling to give love because he feels, again, as if all is fleeting. Then the added "fuck it all" basically, of meiko speaking true desires as she usually does, not caring if they go to hell, just having time away from the darkness and other people, thinking and saying things "sheep" couldn't, whatever that means to broader terms.
- ..I mean,
I see.. X4
meiko, to +Kohane, to +Akito, to full the three. Interesting choice of characters but I'll read it as the partners seeing through their partners true wants/pains?
then we circle back to the chorus with different line distribs.
The distrib is flipped a lil, probably just for voice reasons but now it's Akito and Kohane singing, could also be read as the previous wants being broadcast so they're telling antouya step out the darkness and destroy it all.
This time, Akito takes over meikos previous line ( if the night won't end why don't we count /parap), which, with the addition of the above line about a one-night outing??? sounds more like its leaning into that heresy from before. Counting numbers to sleep away the pain.
- when you become the only sheep, what do you want after that? (M,An,T)
Again, almost the same as before, but Akito and Touya switched. Once again could just be the switch for vocal and line distrib things, but hey, akitoya is having their usual dance of mental illness in this song so you can also say it's that, asking him what he'd do cus surprise! hes ignoring his issues again ( as he just said about counting to fall asleep. )
- I'm a lonely sheep, could you leave me be? /Para (t)
hey look! It's the same as an before! and the same as the two of them in moonlight! they're scared of being left alone yet isolate themselves in their loneliness. Fun!
- you're still just a sheep, can you even laugh at this version of me? (M)
Now because he spoke last, I could point this at Touya, instead I'm pointing this at everyone. They're all still sheep, none of them have broken free, they can't even laugh at the free, unbranded, Meiko. At the same time, she's pushing forward and showing how they all feel- pitiful, like a circus animal to be laughed at, in their darkest mindsets, because they all seem to trivialise their own issues, make them out to be stupid blips.
funny little nanana, with Kohane breaking the cycle to lead into the final chorus.
I don't think anything stands out here, the different line distribs are what id say is the same meaning as the last one, even with the different characters.
- You're just still one sheep of the flock.
Won't you try not to get cursed?
From now, until you die. (M)
- all of you are just one sheep here now, defy, and move before. (K)
The same as before!! But Meiko almost teases the others, telling them that if they don't make some move, they're all just sheep, cursed to live their entire life in this feeling, and they're not making any change.
And Kohane repeats the same line, the solitary sheep, broken free from the cycle, trying to get the others to follow, much like sheep, but in their own path, so they aren't always coping each other and hurting themselves.
Can't wait for An's next breakdown event, guys!!

Why does it matter that the actors and creative team are book fans when the finished product grossly misunderstands and misrepresents the text? No background detail or linguistic accuracy will fix the total invention of 99% of the plot, or the deviations from canon. If a cake is made with concrete dust instead of flour it doesn’t matter if a pastry chef made it. It fails as an adaptation and it’s been very honest about that from the start, so why get excited about it when you like the books?
Alright. Firstly, what I want you to do is read this message again, then imagine it is about the Jackson films, which it absolutely could be and in fact it fits them BETTER since we actually know the vast extent to which PJ misrepresented the books and deviated from canon, cus his films have been out for 20+ years already. And then think about how much of an impact those films had anyway. Think about how many book fans enjoyed those films anyway including myself.
And then think about all the extraneous other adaptations of Tolkien that have happened over the years, from cartoons to games, and think about how book fans have also enjoyed those despite their own massive changes that go all the way too cutting out main characters entirely! And THAT is when we are talking about adaptations that change the actually written stories that have a real narrative and a plot and characters. RoP is basically adapting a sparse tale of years at this point, which have themes sure, and the bare bones of characters, but there's a lot of space to fill in with their own creativity. Which is literally what I do all the time!
This entire blog in fact is dedicated mostly to me taking what the text has given me and fleshing out the parts I like in ways that I enjoy. Because tolkien's writing is not some religious canon that requires legions of supplicants and holy warriors to defend it. It is good enough to be adapted in countless ways and still have more to offer, that is exactly what classic stories are there for.
And that's all the things I'd say if I even agreed with your strange assertions. How do you know the showrunners are grossly misunderstanding the text? The various disparate versions of the Akallabeth you mean? As far as I can tell they've gripped the actual meat of the narrative very well. Religious debates, free will over suffering, mortals dying for immortals and that sparking a growing resentment to flourish, that's all IN the promo material for this show. Are you talking about the time compression? I assume you are. Yeah it's a massive squish and it's cutting out a lot of kings and queens but, and this pains me a little to say because I still am grieving Tar-Telperien, the only thing the actual NARRATIVE is losing here is an agonisingly slow burn to the end. All the beats are the same!
In the end, they are putting enthusiasm and effort into investigating pieces of Middle Earth history that I had never expected to be depicted like this before. And they aren't the worst people in the world or betraying the fans or causing some irreparable harm to Tolkien by changing parts of that history and inventing things within that history to tell a story that they think is good. And this vitriolic rhetoric is completely inappropriate, especially when, again, it isn't even out yet! Like you're in my inbox talking about a finished product that doesn't even exist, they're only on season 1! So yes, just like I do with the Jackson films, just like I do with the old cartoons, just like I do with every fan made film and all the lotr films made in other languages that I've seen and enjoyed for themselves, I'll sit in my book fan little seat and enjoy this adaptation with my friends too. I'm excited to see what they come up with! And if I don't like it then it won't be the end of the world, which I know from experience.

Ok so I scroll down on your account and read from the last thing I liked on your blog each day, so apologies if someone already said this, I haven't caught up yet and I'll forget if I don't write this down.
Also, Sorry if I just took what you and the asker was saying and just reworded it, I'm tired and I barely comprehended what was being said.
ANYWAYS
So referring to this ask, I thought, "What if Warren was a part of the love cu- *ahem* "club" for a long while and had a sort of mission to go recruit some other people."
He stumbles across Lily and Todney and thinks "Well, this is good enough", and starts interacting with them so he can uh... "smoothly" slide in the question of them joining. This takes a few days, so they all bond and get to know their stories and such. Once Warren asks the big question, they have no idea what they are getting themselves into, but they heard "love" and "family", so they're all in.
Warren grows to actually like them and enjoys their company. He learns of their home situation and is... frankly a little concerned. But he's gotta focus on bringing them to Shrigs and Malcolm.
Once he brings them over, him and Shrigs talks about initiation and celebrating and stuff while Lily and Todney become fast friends with SO.
I'm getting lazy on ideas so stuff happens, Warren ends up finding out about the marriage thing, thinks "this whole situation is NOT very cash-money", and just bails with all three of the kids.
For some extra spice, I'd like to think that Shrigs is basically hunting them down to 1) Find his daughter and 2) to kill Warren for taking his sorta child away with no warning. I'd like to think that on that journey, Shrigs thinks a whole lot about SO and it kinda sinks in for him like, "damn, I care about this kid more than I thought" (like, in a father/ daughter type way) and he reflects on what he's noticed with SO and how she must be feeling and starts to actually question Malcolm.
For some MORE spice, the twins family is after them too, not out of much care or concern, but because they need the twins to find new mothers in order to get the family discount. So if they get their hands on the twins... they'll probably not be able to leave the house to get new mothers ever again. And they will kill Warren, like, for real. No hesitation.
So yea all four of them are on the run.
Then Shrigs could find them all, have a talk with SO, everyone makes up, blah blah blah, then the twins family shows up and it's like a final showdown. I'd honestly think that Warren and Shrigs would put up somewhat of a fight, but then Shrigs gets hurt real bad or something and they all just flee.
They're all just sorta... constantly on the run for a while, since Shrigs is having a hard time dealing with all of these emotions about Malcolm and he feels like he is unworthy of going back, Warren doesn't have an actual place to stay, and the kids have nowhere to go.
Eventually they do live somewhere but man I'm just here for the angst and redemption arks, I'm not good with coming up with happy endings, y'all gotta do that for yourselves XD
But anyways I'm so sorry this is loooooong.
(Idk where to put this but I HC that Shrigs is homophobic, but because he's just uneducated, not out of pure hatred. When he gets use to it and learns about the LGBTQIA+ community, then he'll be either and ally or he'll realize he's actually pan.
Also In that whole story, I saw Warren as a teenager (around 15-17 idk), not an adult. And idk about Shrigs but he's pretty young too, probably 19-21ish. Maybe a little bit older.
And this wasn't suppose to be a ship thing with any of the characters mentioned!)
Thank you for reading :,)
THIS IS SO COOL TYSM!!! I really like this concept, it would be so cool if the kids met bc of the love cult but then they end up leaving thanks to Warren. And Shrig joins them too! Maybe they end up living at the trio's house like the other teachers lol they probably have enough room😭

Damn, I wish I was your lover
We haven't met yet seeing as I am currently very lover-less. Not in a sad way, I get hit on all the time. Okay, so maybe it's a little sad. I don't want anyone right now, but I think it's because I know somewhere in the world you exist.
If you are real. Out there. I won't have to do backflips in my mind for us to work: we'll just want to fuck right away but realize during the small talk that we share a thread of loneliness sewn into everything we do. Wanting each other will be as easy as breathing and I'll want you just as badly as my next inhale. How the fuck did we ever breathe before?
I want to be utterly distracted on an ordinary day and then look up and realize, "Oh, it's you." We'll have met before because I've had a million conversations in my head with you already. For a figment of my imagination, you're a very good listener.
There are days when I'm running when the only thing that keeps me going is that I'm growing into a better person so I can love you damn good the first time. I have a tendency to screw things up. I do it less often now, but something like a soulmate might be too tempting to self-sabotage. I'll build a palace with you and burn it down just so I can control the day you're taken from me.
I hope I don't get too drunk. I hope I'm not drunk at all the first time we make love. I want it to be sexy and simple. I want to lie in your arms and bring you coffee after you bring me water. I want to get along with your friends and put my head on your chest after a long day, listen to your heart as it beats because I can't believe you're made of the same things as every other human.
I want the love songs to make sense for years on end. I hope you think I'm funny and like my cooking. I hope you're sardonic and have a deep voice and big hands and dark hair and think Republicans are lame. I pray to god you hate House music as much as I do. I hope we love each other so good it makes up for some of the scars I have from being un-liked. That as long as we get each other, we enjoy being an acquired taste. Smoke a joint with me in our gym clothes and flick ash at the popular kids.
I know missing you now, having never met, will make meeting you the best thing that's ever happened to me in such a goddamn long time. I feel your absence now, even if this isn't the lifetime we meet. Maybe this is the dark timeline where I always wonder if certain kinds of love are as good as they say, and you marry someone with a snaggle tooth (what? She has the love of my life in this timeline, she doesn't also get nice teeth).
Maybe my soulmates this time around are friends and family. I don't die in your arms or watch you grow old (my face stays 30 in all my fantasies), but know that a part of me will be faithful to you anyway.
I believe you exist. I'm so cursedly romantic even if I'm not the person who gets romantic happiness. Actually, we tend to be the most romantic of all. Antony and Cleopatra never bickered over the air BnB.
So yes, maybe we won't meet this year, this decade, this lifetime.
I want you to know I'm happy here. In the world without you. It kind of sucks, but I'm never alone. I've missed you a lot though. A little bit of me persistently aches to go back somewhere I've never been. A home I lost the key to. I want you to know I like who I am more than I don't. That wasn't true for a very long time for reasons you understand so well that you laugh at jokes messy and dark like spilled ink.
I sometimes worry that being alone is the worst thing in the world, but of course it isn't. Losing your parents is. Having kids just because there's nothing good on TV is. Being cruel is: even if it's just the venom you bite into your own inner arm, pulling back and examining the puncture wounds as weeks scrape by and burn away.
Still, I keep a lamp on and a torch lit. I check the lighthouse for your ship on a vast and empty sea on starless nights. I drink water, go on runs, and read for long hours curled up until my legs ache and I crave red wine and your kiss.
I do standup comedy to faceless silhouettes. The stage lights reflect back from the bottom of half-empty glasses and the occasional piece of jewelry. Do people notice that while they watch me, while my voice fills a room full of people holding theirs, I gaze back and study with a desperation that borders on violence?
In the world where we don't meet: I still go to work and wear fun outfits and have sex and cook meals full of sweet cheeses and lemony, salty leaves. I listen to indie music and wear my hair long with nice perfume and decorate rooms with plants and lurid photos of times gone by.
I do all these things for me, but a very silly and small part does them for you. A part that hopes one day in the world, I'll turn a holy corner and when you see me I am beautiful and whole.
