#INSTEAD OF FLYING A DRAGON HE DIDNT KNOW HOW TO FLY
Text
you know, as if it wasnt already boring enough that both link and zelda got back to their 'perfect' physical selves without any consquences from all that happened, the fact that zelda doesnt even remember anything either is just adding insult to injury
although it was also a lil disappointing at the end of botw that zelda didnt age even a little bit or had any other physical change at least she was conscious during the time she sealed calamity ganon in the castle and it overall feels less illogical
when you get the mastersword back in totk you get a cutscene of zelda with it after she had already transformed which kinda .... is weird? she seemed pretty awake there, and it being right after transforming is strange since the mastersword was already restored in that cutscene, i would expect it to be a slow progress- that said .. it also seemed like her soul was doing pretty fine, unlike how mineru said that you lose your soul when you do the dragon thingy; i guess it could be that that was jsut a thing that was believed without knowing if its true but ... why even mention it then, just to dangle some consequence in front of us only to reveal there wasnt any danger actually?
also someone (i think) commented once that zelda being turned back in that weird way was meant to be that she got time reversed .. which ... okay??? the teleport to that weird nakey floating dimension is still a weird choice to me (yes i know its probably the spirit realm or soemthing and thats why the ghosts that went poff already were there but it still feels off to me) .. aynway, i guess it was meant that ghost sonia + rauru did the give power to link thing that sonia and zelda did to rauru when he magic laser blasted all those poor moldoras (and never does it again ... why not magic laser blast away gan instead he was pretty openly standing on that rock problem solved hfldshnflsnjlfs) and that time reversed the dragon thing .... but aside from the symbol for the time thingy lighting up theres no indication for it if i remember right? its just some awkward looking magic beam blast save zelda edition (tm)
why not at least include the clear tök sound that goes off when you use time reversal in game? would it have been both more clear AND cool if link was still standing on her head, the world gets that spirit realm filter like it did in skyward sword to indicate that theres a shift, then have the ghosties appear and let you as the player select time thingy and then her, ghosties give you their energy and the sound of time reversal goes off, the schemes of the world below goes black and white and start to shift; you dont need to literally show the path zelda had been flying over those thousands of years, but make the world a blurry mess and let the music speed up so you feel like you are actually doing something and then she turns back maybe near the temple of time (zonau edition) so its near the place where she was last human, the filters and ghosts disappear and whoop you got your epic falling scene ... but i would like to have zelda still remember it, otherwise it just feels .. weirdly manipulative? like lets reverse your brain and memory zelda no dont worry i meant good lmao trust me
that is if it was meant to be read as a time reversal on her .... but then i question why it wasnt used beforehand? couldnt you have done that to ganondorf even? if sonia and rauru can give you enough energy as ghosts then why couldnt sonia reappear after getting one-punche-mand-to-death or when you fight gan in the present time? is the excuse that he was so miasmafied or deep below the earth that the spirit world thing isnt in reach? couldnt you have done it after he did the dragon thing then? or is it a one time thing so they saved it for zelda? but then why didnt sonia get her ghost ass back there immediately after she died and time revrsed gan getting the enigma stone? ALSO if it was a time reversal on zelda where did the stone go??? shouldnt it be time reversaled out of her in some way to undo the dragon thing? where it go?? also to time reversal a body gotta be different to getting her soul back?? or was it just never gone so what mineru said about the risk was literally jsut so it seemed more tragic when it really wasnt???
like the apparent possibilty that the time reversal CAN be used on living things and not just objects makes me question it all even more?
(also was it meant to imply that rauru somehow through his arm got them both into the ghosty dimension?? bc how did they get there, and why cant they do it again? if spirits are fine over there even if they already went poof then why act so sad about mineru fking off like that? just go back there and say hi? njfkdnjkdj)
like im sorry i cant help but overthink all of this, with every supposedly explanation i just question it more?? i dont want to sound like one of those guys that go -OoHoh there was no clear text explanation for it so i dont knooooOOOOoOw i dont know how to use ma braiiin it makes no seeeensee-
or maybe i am? i dont need an explanation for everything, in fact i LIKE when there are unexplained things, but it still has to feel .. whole? there are unexplained things that make a world and story feel more mystical without taking you out of it, but theres also a way to leave things both over AND underexplained with it seemingly contradicting itself or it just trusting that you take it all at face value and never think about it that it just feels off, the the first big moment where i felt SO taken out of the game i felt actually stunned was when i was at the shrine of life and it wasnt there anymore, at all, the cave shaped like a vague imitation of it, i felt like the game was laughing at me for being so distraught about it, like what you remember and care about the game this new one was supposed to be a sequel to? lmao, anyway theres a puddle of healing water :)))
idk i just ... if its not obvious already zelda is my special thingy so of course i overthink and criticize it in ways that may seem insane to the average person, but thats just how i work i guess :/
(i am still too thinking so much about how it all feels like such an afterthought, like especially with the weird time bubbles that literally NEVER COME UP AGAIN???? WHAT WAS THE POINT??? AND WHERE DID THEY COME FROM??? and why youd choose to suddendly give zelda time powers out of nowhere and then basically not do anything with it?? zelda astral projecting to the temple of time somehow even tho her soul was lost but is also fine just to give you the time reversal gimmick is so ?? oh wow look at that zelda gave you her sage oath before you even knew about them look how coool ok but how? and why? it wasnt the actual engima stone you touch to go into ghosty world either just like a .. a weird ghost of it, it just feels off man, ok you got zelda out the way and have your neat gimmicks and uuuh dang we need to find a way to give them to you idk lol
listen, i KNOW you are not supposed to question it, i KNOW they always go gameplay over story but goddamn the story ruined the gameplay for me bc everytime i think about playing it again i just get reminded of the things that dont make sense or are just so .. lackluster in ways that even botws worst parts didnt)

Suho in the Dragon Monarch! Haein AU headcanons (plus Solo Leveling Ragnarok Spoilers)
-Suho having both dragon elders and shadow commanders as nannies. Bellion and the Dragon Priest do agree on making Suho grow up to be strong and yet beru is out there spoiling the boy rotten when he can't do anything. Although everyone still applouds the boy for doing the bare minimum. If it wasnt for the overly tired parents (monarhcs) then the shadows and dragons would have instantly thrown a party for Suho when he started to walk for the first time
-While most of the demon nobles, dragon elders and shadow commanders love Suho, none of them -obviously-- know how to take care of such a fragile little thing, which is why they are appy for every thing he does. They think he will break like glass everytime, and to some extent haein and jinwoo thought that might be tha case as well because they dont know just how much human genes they passed over to Suho and how much of the dark/light fragmaents had passed on him. He was so sick as a baby that even the Rulers had to stop by to chceck if there was anything wrong with him, thankfully there wasnt and Suho could grow up like any other boy, still the worries lingered.
-Suho had a childhood friend dragon, it was the same age as him, and would one day grow up to take on priestly duties while Suho completely forgot about the memories they made.
-Suho likes to draw ants and feathery dragons because the only dragons Haein allowed to touch Suho were those who had soft feathres or looked more friendly on the outside. Suho wasnt scared of any dragon though, only his mom when she got mad.
-Upon meeting his shadows again he started to get his memories back of the dragons that taught him to fly.
-Suho developed horns and scles early on in his childhood. Haein gave him a bracelet which would help hide the transformation for when the time was right. After his parent's dissapearance Suho would touch his braelet as if trying to reach out for his mother and father to come back.
-His horns and wings began to develop again as he leveled up, in his fight with Antares he finally achieved his dragon form, stil it was nothing compared to Antares. Also what a great way to meet your grandpa! Because Suho was his grandson he took the pact even more seriously,, though, unlike canon, he didnt want to come back alive becausehe was still healing with Ashborn in the land of the death. After pasing is throne to Haein he had decided to focus on his soul as a dragon instead of a Monarch. Still, he and Ashborn are very much ineterested to see Suho's growth from the other side, often snikering with the other monarchs watching the drama unfold.
"My grandson decided to become a Monarch of Destruction HAHAHAHA >:DDDD" Antares very much likes stiking that to jinwoo meanwhile Ashborn is like "Sure Antares now its time to get back to the ocean."
Jiwoo's last words being like "Suho I owe your mom 20 thousand won now ask jinchul to pay it ill pay him later-"
-Miho and Suho transformed to take on Lee Minsung!!!
-Ryo touching Suho's new dragon horns and his fluffly hair,( I like to think it gets somewhat blonde when he uses dragon powers too much.) absolutely self indulging here---
-Suho scaring Arsha with when his eyes turn like those of a dragon cuz oh oh damn thats a dragon alright.
-Jinchul and Esil playing hot potato with Suho because he can somehow control the heat around him WHY DID THEY AGREE TO BABYSIT-

Sharpe's Trafalgar Daily Book Report:
ah every time the ship temeraire is mentioned i just have to imagine a big black dragon flying over the water instead of the battleship oops 😅
*cornwell describes a ship battle with lots of technical terms for things* wow this is neat sounding! i wish i knew what literally any of these words meant! though to be fair i cannot ever picture what land battles look like either. people be talking about flanks and skirmish lines engagements dictated by landscapes and i am just sitting all ":D i dont get it but neato. pew pew! hope they win or do bad idk!"
i must say, cornwell has a really artistic way of describing violence and, well, gore lmao. he gets really painterly when talking about explosions and destruction. i like it! paints a nice kind of impressionist idea of a scene, but also zooms in for some nice details. like, the bit with the blood on deck, running towards sharpe. and he watches it tip with the waves until it reaches him where he stamps it out so it stops running. just seeing sharpe so focused on it, stuck with nothing he can do as he waits, but he isnt the type to just ignore the gore and let it continue either. good boy, soft baby boy.
oh :( poor grace tho. her sitting under the waterline, scraping at the wood and thinking about how sharpe as a kid must have felt like pulling apart the tarred ropes. makes me like her quite a bit, idk why. just such a small, personal thing for her care about, especially when she herself is scared. i hope she shoots her husband lol.
O____O d...did sir william just...s..shoot her i ... H..HEY CORNWELL... b.. back us up a bit here, maybe? dont leave me a cliffhanger like that hey what the fuck????
this battle is giving me immense anxiety!! im used to cornwell killing people off but ... but i really like these people damn it!
hey. cornwell. hey. hey i just wanna talk with you real quick. can i just talk with you, just real quick about if you plan to kill chase. just real quick bud. just a quick chat.
*beats fists on desk and chants "SHOOT YOUR HUSBAND" at grace*
YESSSSSSSSSS, GIRLBOSS MANSLAUGHTER. GET IT, GO MAKE SHARPE YOUR BOYTOY LIKE YOU WANTED TO
lmao at clouter picking up the body and staring straight at sharpe all
HHH well. i already know what happens to grace in the future, but yay still! quite a tidy end! i didnt lose my fave boys this time, two thumbs up!!

*cracks knuckles* this is what my art skillz are used for (SORRY THEN DONT LOOK GOOD I AMDE EM IN LIKE 15 MINS AND I DIDNT KNOW HOW TO DRAW THEIR HAIR I STILL NEED PRACTICDE KSNEGSEGGE)
omg rigel sounds so so sweet but YEAH he might not be the best king,, IM GLAD SAIPHA AND HIM STILL ARE CLOSE THOOO i wish they could just both be the ruler but life isn't that easy
AND MANA??? SO THERE IS KINDA LIKE MAGIC IN HERE what are lapis and lazuli's mana like? im assuming they have their own magic and stuff AND HELP[ I LOVE THIS PART "if people knew what they were doing, they'd be ousted and jailed" PLEASEEEEEE
"the bigger kingdoms like the avrigian empire and the xedian dynast" THE WORLDBUILDING?? WHAT ARE THE OTHER DYNATIES AND EMPIRES LIKE??
dragons love it there because of how untouched it is by mankind." does that mean we get to see dragons. I FUCKING LOVE DRAGONS. PLEASE LET ME SEE DRAGONS--
"fun fact: lapis was born in bahmania, but was taken out of there by their human father against their mother's wishes." oh no. WHAT??? U CANT JUST SAY THAT AND DIP??
IM LOSING MY MIND[@@*@@;&=×&÷:&@$ YOU'RE FUCKING AMAZING, I'M LITERALLY ON THE BRINK OF TEARS RN THANK YOU
oh boy ... okay Okay Look this world is huge, lemme try to like. Not Fly Off the Handle
so for mana manifestations, there's three stages:
the first stage is basic life. mana is life energy — the first stage is just being alive. everyone possesses just enough mana to keep them alive. everyone also possesses an aura that shields them from minor injuries. it takes quite a bit of jostling to hurt someone — scraped knees are a thing of fiction, really. but bloody noses and broken bones are real, it just takes a little more force to cause that kind of thing, so the strength gap between real life and this world is a little big.
the second stage of mana manifestation enhances bodily capabilities. enhanced intuition, telepathy, psychokinesis, that sort of thing. saipha... well, to quote my notes directly:
“Instead, her specialty allowed her to smell a person’s true nature... and greatly empathize with people... Her ability to judge a person’s character is second to none. She cannot tell when a person is telling the truth or not, but if she cannot stand the smell of a person, then they are deemed suspicious per her order.”
she can also see the color of a person's aura, and it's not exactly something she can turn off, so she constantly wears a veil to shield her eyes.
the third stage of mana manifestation is elemental manipulation. you can control any one element at will!
lapis is a third stage manifestor by default because of their lineage — they have the blood of an elemental within them, so they can control water at will. lazuli on the other hand was a second stage manifestor, but thanks to the spirits' interference, they can now control water as well! (they only ever use it when cooking, though. they try to avoid dirtying their hands via combat.)
mmh i'll leave the other dynasties and kingdoms for another time, but! the thing about lapis being taken from bahmania!
in this world, hybrid children are... commodities. one of the rarest and most precious goods that money can buy. lapis' father took them out of that country with plans to make money off of them somehow, but last minute, his conscience stopped him. of course, that didn't stop him from physically abusing them until his sudden death, but that's what happened. he didn't even name them. lapis raised themself for two years before they encountered lazuli.
#[ 💭 — thoughts. ]#IM REALLY GOING INSANE#YOU DIDNT HAVE TO DRAW THEM BUT YOU DID AND I SHED A TEAR OR TWO#YOU'RE SO COOL AND ILY THANK YOU

doip. / 6.23.22
Folks, It Has Been Over Half A Year but dragon of icespire peak continues!
hey remember doip? yeah that's still happening
story so far: we're traveling around and rallying people back to town because a white dragon is sieging the area! we fought a manticore, survived the gnomish pita cutter, stole some barrel crabs, efficiently cleared out a dwarven excavation site, solved a pillar puzzle, escorted don jon raskin to were-rats and then just kinda left him there, stole a bell, and then wandered off to neverwinter instead of actually doing anything about the dragon. also found an orc hiding in a closet with a bucket on his head on the way, solved a totem puzzle, and oh god neverwinter isnt in the module jorb im so sorry LMAO
ended up talking abt sonic origins w jorb while nyx was afk. god i wish it was out when i was doing marathonic
I CAN POST IN CHAT AS THE BARREL CRAB??
nyx: does the barrel crab notice?
jorb: the barrel crab does not notice because it is in phandalin
UH OH THE DRAGON IS HERE. ROLL FOR INITIATIVE
OH GOD IT'S CRYOVAIN LMAO
alidaar ducks behind cover, takes aim with his crossbow, aaaaand misses. whoops
leo: im gonna save [my action surge] for when things get more dicey
nyx: this entire situation is just a sack of dice.
CRYOVAIN FLYING IN FOR A BREATH ATTACK
leo: the good news is i have cold resistance, so that's good
nyx: the bad news is--
leo: --there's people behind me.
NAT 20 CON SAVE LET'S GO ALIDAAR TANKS THE HIT
ali uses his fire runes and natural resistance to tank the hit! and basically just has a bit of frost on him
alidaar: i give cryovain a shit-eating grin.
nameless goes bear mode
jorb: ..ARE YOU GONNA GET OFF THE CART BEFORE YOU DO THAT?
oh my god nameless just fucking Launched at cryovain
..and then got knocked off bc of a nat1. lmao whoops
nyx: you know those pictures of bears just sitting there like a human person?
OUR CART IS GOING TO FALL INTO THE FUCKING RIVER
ali runs up and dual wields at cryovain! silvered battleaxe gets a nat20 but warhammer goes doip
jorb: alright let's see if the breath weapons recharges
leo: UH OH!
(it didnt)
NAMELESS TAKES 20 PIERCING DAMAGE AND 8 COLD DAMAGE. UH OH LMAO MAX DAMAGE
"can i ask you to make a wisdom saving throw for me please?" nyx and leo: OH NO
oh god nameless failed so nameless freaked out over the bell river situation and disengaged to focus on that instead. which leaves alidaar right up in the dragon's face. uh oh uh oh uh oh
VINCENT NOOOOOO THIS FUCKING OX IS TAKING OUR SHIIIIIIIIT
THE BELL!! IS IN THE RIVER!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAA
THIS ENCOUNTER IS SO SCUFFED alidaar fucking books it to try and salvage the bell but is out of actions once he's by the river bc of a dash. cryovain now ALSO wants the bell bc shiny. everything is going tits up
YES OMG CRYOVAIN TOOK ENOUGH DAMAGE TO LEAVE WITHOUT THE BELL. THAT'S A VICTORY, LADS
So The Bell Is In The River
nyx: what do i DO
leo: uhhh check your pack?? that's what i'm doing
nyx: I Am Currently A Bear
leo: oh. you are currently a bear.
nyx: every day. every day i suffer.
BELL RETRIEVED
how many people and also a bear does it take to get a cart out of the water? The Answer May Surprise You
alidaar chats up a couple guards! apparently good ol buckethead scampered to neverwinter seeking safety and got captured, so the guards offered for us to interrogate him
..and also recommended that, seeing as alidaar is a fightboy, he go check out the gladiator arena! and ali's just like Haha Yeah Sounds Good (I Will Not Go There)
alidaar: [annoyed] fucking neverwinter
everyone promptly gets distracted googling what binturongs sound like (they sound like angry cats)
WELCOME TO NEVERWINTER holy fuck we did it
note to self: remember tiber exists and that we need to get him before we leave i swear to god
Alidaar Is Now The Party Leader dear god. this is a trainwreck
somehow manages to finagle his way into getting a room and meals at an inn without embarrassing himself too hard. also managed to roll like 2 nat 20s. how the fuck.
TIME TO GET RID OF THIS FUCKING BELL let's go to the jeweler's guild! woO!!
alidaar and nameless promptly have a tussle because Nameless Loves Bell. which results in alidaar holding a very angry binturong over his head while casually talking to the guildmaster. guildmaster was not impressed.
got an hour to kill while the bell is assessed, let's go interview buckethead! interrogate. let's go interrogate buckethead.
we are now interviewing buckethead for the job of "staying alive"
some guy showed up to tell us about a new shop! Nameless Disliked That. meanwhile, alidaar has nameless on his head
bad cop, bad cop, and binturong
alidaar interrogates buckethead with a binturong on his head
buckethead's info: there's a rumor that there's some barrow southeast of neverwinter that's got a dragonslaying sword. also cryovain probably hates us and like [alidaar voice] Good
HIS NAME IS BUCK buck im so sorry about your life
alidaar fucking cackling at buck. buck i am SO sorry ilu
^ alidaar at nameless
ding, bell's done!
2500 gold! holy fuck! or 200 plat and 500 gold
alidaar, staring into the bag of money at nameless who has crawled into it: can you please be normal
shopping trip! aka time to buy things for the Literal Animal riding alidaar around
scimitar: 25 gp / studded leather: 45 gp / boots of the winterlands: 100 gp / 20 crossbow bolts: 20 gp
new boot goofin! (all of that except for the bolts was for nameless lmao. alidaar's good) (update: after the session we went back and got alidaar some splint armor bc it turns out he Can get an upgrade that isnt 1.5k gp)
nameless attuned to the boots! New Boot Goofin
also nameless has been having external impulses to cling to gold. this is definitely because of the amulet they stole. this is normal
nameless also has a binturong tail in halfling form! and beans.
alidaar thinks nameless is "like, twelve"
got a gilded acorn! nameless can now Summon Beasts
also got some healing potions, a scroll of comprehend languages, and a scroll of remove curse!
ali also got some smith's tools bc why not. proficiency.
time to check out the sus shop! the Shop of Secrets! contains: cloak of billowing, Infinite Mayo Hack (alchemy jug), gloves of thievery, dust of disappearance, ring of weaving (which gave ali the strong impression that he'd be better at underwater basket weaving), bag of holding which is now putting the fear of god into us OH NO THINGS ARE GOING WRONG IT JUST ATE NAMELESS oh my god it was a bag of devouring. lol. lmao
IS THAT A FUCKING DECK OF MANY THINGS oh lmao it's just a 13-card tarot deck. jorb scared the shit out of me
(LOOK, AFTER THE BAG OF DEVOURING, MY PARANOIA WS RAMPING UP)
got the gloves of thievery (which are Always Invisible) and the dust of disappearance (one use)!
It's Been A Day. back to the inn
nyx's necklace is SO cursed
jorb: in the module it is not cursed
leo and nyx: YOU DID THIS
plans for next session: We Forgot To Turn In Our Quests In Phandolin
#leo chirps#dnd#ttrpg#doip.#overall it was a lot of fun! shoutouts to jorb for like. basically doing This Whole Bit without module#we were talking at the start like NEVERWINTER IS RIGHT THERE WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS NOT IN THE MODULE hdflxhdfg

more au question stuff from instagram
-“is the animal the corruption mimics at all influenced by personality outside of bandito”
yes, absølutely. a good example of this is spooky, his corruption mimics a cheetah. this is meant to show that all spooky has done in his life is run. run from anything that has brought him hardship. he ran from his home world, ran from dema (kinda unwillingly but he wanted out of dema he just didn’t want to leave blurry behind but he didnt have a choice), and cheetahs being well known as animals who run is fitting.
clancy’s corruption (beføre he died) was a blue dragon, much like trash’s appearance. this can be a signifier of his desire to escape, to fly away from dema like the banditos dø, but he still feels a connection to dema, hence his corruption being a dragon rather than a vulture, sømething more connected to dema than to trench.
blurry’s false corruption mimics a bearded vulture, not a cinereous like many of the øther banditos. in his case, this is meant to show that blurry and the banditos have the same goals (which is why they are bøth vultures) but blurry refuses to call himself a bandito, he’s too scared of them and too scared of what cøuld happen if he let them accept him as one of their own, so he chose to not exactly copy tyler’s corruption and instead chose a different appearance and a different species of vulture. he’s like them, but can’t bring himself to acknowledge that and is too scared to do sø.
-“what would be different if josh were corrupted rather than tyler”
firstly, josh’s corruption would mimic a king cheetah instead of a vulture. nøthing really to it just thought it looked cøøl and king cheetahs have cool striping instead of the spotting regular cheetahs have.
story wise, well that would be a mess. i mean, he’s the torchbearer, the leader of the banditos. dema wøuld corupt him, but i have a feeling they wouldn’t just let him go back intø trench so easily. they’d keep him there for a while longer, try to get information out of him about the banditos. spooky wøuld also then be indirectly corrupted rather than blurry, although if this is like a role-reversal type deal blurry wøuld eventually get partially corrupted during LOC, and 004 would still exist as is.
so then i’d think tyler wøuld take øver leadership temporarily and arrange a rescue mission før josh, and unlike blurry, spooky wouldn’t try to hide his corruption by mimicking sømething else and shifting into that. josh’s corruption also wouldn’t be nearly as severe as tyler’s, he’d have less physical changes. they’d get back and things wøuld go as they do in the main au, with the key difference being with tyler and blurry, they had a few days alone to actually talk to each other without it devolving into a screaming match. so in this splinter timeline, tyler and blurry wøuld have a much møre hostile relationship with each øther, and it would stay this way for much longer.
josh wøuld recover, the øther corrupted would reveal themselves, and everything would go as usual (with the few changes mentioned beføre) the responsibilities of bandito leader wøuld still be split between tyler and josh, 004 still exists as is, clancy still gets corrupted, dies, loses his sense øf self, and possesses tyler, nøt much wøuld change in the long term is what im getting at.
-“døes rr blurry know how to whip and nae nae”
no, he døesn’t. even if you put him in our world and expose him tø memes and whipping and nae nae-ing, he wøuld nøt understand any øf it and it wøuld prøbably confuse him sø much that he wøuld essentially short circuit. that ør he’d cømpletely ignore it and find it boring and get distracted by a leaf ør sømething.
so either he wøuldn’t care ør he’d explode, good chance of either happening. like i dont believe blurry wøuld understand most internet culture or humor, or he’d be too scared to interact with it. blurrys the type øf entity to use social media solely as a journal and førget that øther peøple can see it and then theyd get overwhelmed when øther peøple start being like “hey are yøu øk we’re really worried about you”

random but this just reminded me how much the show screwed up the battle of winterfell like literally it was so easy it was right there. Society if they verbally dubbed all the armies against the dead The Night’s Watch. society if jonsnow did a sick pre battle speech to all the fighters where he got them all to recite the nights watch vows and it was epic and cool. they were LITERALLY all alreayd wearing black for no reason i hate you d and d i hate you so muhc
#screaming and shaking ITS THE BATTLE AGAINST THE OOOTHHEERRRSSSS WHY DO NOTHING WITH ITTTTTT#asoiaf reread#they jsut had some stupid conversationwith LC DOLOROUS EDD it was so WASTEFUL literally THE WAY JON DID NOT FUCKING MATTER#god like ummmmm let him take command at least! if he’s not gonna do anything cool in the battle LET HIM USE HIS EXPERTISE#INSTEAD OF FLYING A DRAGON HE DIDNT KNOW HOW TO FLY#STUPID!!!!!!!#stupid.#the way that they didnt even make it like. Popcorn Fun. it wouldhave been SO fucking easy to make it AT LEAST FUN#s8 as a whole i mean. like if you’re gonna abandon the intricate plotting THATS FINE but at least understand setup and payoff#if you’re gonna pull an avengers endgame MAKE THE ENDGAME STUFF ACTUALLY COOL TO WATCH if youre gonna do fanservice!!!! DO IT WELL#it literally couldve been so easy to make it a great time even if it was thematically hollow but no You made it worthless#but not only worthless ALSO not even FUN TO WATCH not even CATHARTIC they didnt even BOTHER

🗡️SPOILERS PLS DONT READ UNLESS YOU KNOW THEM🗡️
(also its a very long post and I dont know how to put the continue reading thing so bear with me)
First impression on the cover: lovely. My fave colour.
Also awesome dragon
Also all I know about this is that its high epic fantasy and its lesbian
-----
Im so confused about the places
------
Okay Im figuring shit out
-----
I think I start to like Tané and also NiClays is such a coward wtf
-----
Ead saving Sabrans life and then sabran being like yeah, the saints
Like gurl
----
Got the maps. Things are clearer.
Also I think I will reread this at some point cause its honestly wow.
----
We all know Ead doesnt want to leave because she starts having a crush 🥰
----
Okay so Loth is kind of in the middle pf a conspiracy that definitely endangers his life. Also the princess is pretty (from Carscaro)
----
"It was strange, but she was almost sorry that she was here, and not with the queen."
😏 I bet
----
Oooooooh
So Truyde is related to Jannart who is Niclays ex lover. Thats why Niclays is so protective of her. I see
----
And so it begins
----
Im kind of conflicted because I like Tané as a character (she fucking badass aND rides dragons) but nothing interesting is happening in her perspective. Meanwhile the only interesting thing in the east is Niclays who is kind of a douche. But then, in the west the big stuff is happening and is so entertaining.
----
Ooooohhh
So the sister form the orange tree that found that something and went missing (that Ead found out about) came back in the story. And the princess from Carscaro found her and took the object. And now its given to Loth.
I love how the story connects itself. You wouldn't expect it at first, but in reality they are all connected by some string of fate and they all play a role in it.
Amazing.
----
What the fuck
I cant believe kit just...died.
It felt so unnecessary
----
Woah. Such interesting detail about their ways.
----
Im not going to lie. Sabrans wedding and dress is bomb 👀👀👀
----
I have a feeling you wont hold up to your word queen 🙂
----
👀👀👀👀👀😏😏😏😏
----
Imagine seeing a giant mongoose in the fucking mountains
I would laugh so hard that I would die right there on the spot. What are the odds
----
Imagine being so angry that you are not pregnant that the whole palace would keep distance and your new husband runs in the forest to hunt
----
"She thought of Sabran’s cool touch on her hand. When she slept, she dreamed of a bloodred rose against her lips."
Damn. Its starting 👀👀
----
I have to say this
I didnt realize it bothered me this much, but the fact that she is with someone else is painful. Like, right when I was about to say that its not the worst, they kissed in front of the Ead and I-
I felt it too Ead. I felt it too.
----
Katryne complaing about losing her secret admirer 😔 rip Kit
----
Uuuuuuuu Tané met Niclays
----
I swear Tané is so badass
----
Im so jealous of Tané and Nayimathun 😔 I wish I had what they have
----
Im crying what is this tenderness 🥺🥺🥺
----
Truyde, darling, wHAT THE FUCK
You did WHAT
----
Tané flying with Nayimathun reminds me of that scene from Spirited Away
----
"He took in the unfamiliar bed, piled with bolsters and corncockle silk, and wanted nothing but to sleep.
Instead, he went to his knees beside the window, and he wept for Kitston Glade."
😔😔😔😔
----
Tané walking to the jailhouse with her chin raised 👏👏👏
----
*Susa dies*
Me: 👁️👄👁️
----
“Ead,” the Queen of Inys said, “you will be my bedfellow this night.”
Uuuuu
----
Great. Nayimathun is gone. Tané lost her title and is exiled on the other side of the continent on a goddamn forsaken island
----
Okay so poor Loth found out the truth. He doesnt believe it obviously, but he is also stuck in the Priory. And ALSO he found out about Ead.
I feel bad for him but in the same time I genuinely think he is exaggerating
----
“I’m no explorer.”
“You could be, Clay. You could be anything, and you should never think otherwise.” Jannart rolled a thumb over Niclays’s cheekbone. “If I had convinced myself I was no sinner, I would never have kissed the lips I longed to kiss. The lips of a man with rose-gold hair, whose birth, by the laws of a long-dead knight, made him unworthy of my love.”
I-
I have no idea how to react to so much tenderness. I cant believe this.
I love their relationship, but not so much Niclays himself.
----
Hmmmmmmm.....what if Jannart is not dead and is stuck in the Priory???? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
----
“Be at my side for the birth. And onward,” Sabran murmured. “You must always stay with me, Ead Duryan.”
I want her to say yes but I know she cant and this is just sad 😔 I bet that when Sabran will find out the truth she will be broken
----
I swear to god Ead is fucking crazy. She wants to fight Fyredel
----
FUCKKK
----
"Sabran smiled in a way that broke her heart."
What is this. This is so sad. She lost everything. And she will keep losing.
----
IMS CREAMING THEY KISSED OH MYGFUCKING GOD
----
"The silence of the Great Bedchamber was vast. Vast as night and all its stars. Ead heard each rustle of silk, each brush of hand on skin on sheets. Their breaths were hushed, held in anticipation of a knock on the door, a key in the lock, and a torch to bare their union. It would light a flame of scandal, and the fire would rise until it scorched them both.
But Ead called fire her friend, and she would plunge into the furnace for Sabran Berethnet, for just one night with her. Let them come with their swords and their torches.
Let them come."
YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW LOUD IM SCREAMING
----
⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️
This will end so badly Im already crying for it 🥲
----
Holy shit wtf they already know about them
----
I cant believe Ead has been back in the Priory for like a whole week and she doesnt know about Loth yet. I feel betrayed for her 😑
----
Woah woah woah
Hold up
Kalyba gurl wants a kiss from Ead? Jesus wtf
----
Fuck I forgot Loth doesnt know the truth about Ead :)))))) well then thats going to be interesting
----
HOLY FUCKING SHIT TANÉ
She literally had a magical jewel inside her, fought a dragon with it and then started stiching herself up
Like
Gurl 🥲
----
I swear this Mita Prioress is such a bitch like wtf. Im glad Ead is leaving
As you should gurl
----
Loth hearing for the first time the giant mongoose talking is so funny
----
Tané is in love with her dragon as much as Ead is with Sabran
----
☹️☹️ God
I didnt particularly likes Truyde but seeing her head on a spike doesnt sit well with me
----
Meg and Captain Lintley ❤️❤️
----
“Do you think me a tyrant?”
“I think you a self-righteous fool whose head is harder than a rock. And I would not change you for the world.”
“Tell me, Eadaz uq-Nāra,” she said softly, “am I a greater fool to want you still?”
Sabran finally looked at her.
Ead crossed the space between them. “No more a fool than I,” she said, “to love you as I do.”
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
----
The fact that Niclays doesnt know about Truyde 💀
----
Ascalon being a badass sword 🗡️
----
Holy fucking shit
First queen is Kalyba? Tf
----
Oh my god
So basically both versions of the story of Cleolind are true but not really. What we didnt knew was that Kalyba played a role in them
----
EXcUSE YOU
KALYBA IS THE A HIGH WESTERN.??
----
Ead wrapped her cloak around them both. “Perhaps then I can steal you away.”
“Where?”
Ead kissed her temple. “Somewhere.”
:')
----
I swear to god that right before Ead was poisoned I was thinking that she will die. And then BOOM
Like give me a break
----
“Good evening, Captain—”
“Hush.” Harlowe was a statue. “Listen.”
The song drifted over the black waves. A chill slithered through Loth. “What is that?”
“Syrens.”
“Will they not lure us to our death?”
“Only in the stories.” Smoke plumed from his mouth. “Watch the sea. It’s the sea they call.”
At first, all Loth saw was the void. Then a flower of light bloomed in the water, illuminating its surface. Suddenly he could see fish, tens of thousands of them, each full of a rainbow glow.
He had heard tales of the sky lights of Hróth. Never had he thought to see them underwater.
“You see, my lord,” Harlowe murmured. The light feathered in his eyes. “You can find beauty anywhere.”
By far my favorite scene
----
Loth becoming a pirate is something I didnt knew I needed 👀👀
----
Im so excited
Loth is on the same island as Tané
----
Lol
Funny how the guys from Feather Island know how to reach the Mulberry Tree without even trying and the other have to brainstorm for centuries
----
Loth and Tané? Wow. Definitely not something I knew I would like
----
Listen, Tané is awesome
Powerful and all
But fighting the Golden Empress for that key?
💀💀😔💀💀
----
I swear to god Niclays is so petty and mean :))))))) he is like "oh I bet this will upset Sabran" or "just wait and see how Ill find the elixir of life and not give it to Sabran"
Like child
----
Niclays= rat
----
TANÉÉ
SO HAPPY TO SEE HER LIFT THE SWORD TO THE GOLDEN EMPRESS
BE CAREFUL HONEY 🌼🌼🌼
----
What a pussy
Gets his arm cut off and is like "Im dying. Bye"
----
I love how Tané's dragon is so understanding
----
Tané having a dragons heart ❤️
----
It just hit me that Ead is a dragon slayer and Tané a dragon rider and lover 🤡
----
FUCK
The sister of the priory found her
Of all ppl
----
Pls dont tell me Kalyba found Tané
Imagine the luck
----
Okay so she didnt 🤡🤡
----
Okay wait
Kalyba actually found her
----
Yay
Chassars bird
----
Mission accomplished Tané ❤️❤️
----
"Who in the world wears white on their wedding day?”
Yeah Meg, imagine that
----
I wonder how they will defeat the nameless one
Like I have less than 100 pages left
----
I wonder what is the point of Niclays in this story besides being an old fart
----
Oh my fucking god
Niclays and Kalyba sound like a bad combination
----
Ooooh
I think this might Seiiki emperor had an affair with the Golden Empress *wiggles eyebrows*
----
What in the fuck are you doing here Niclays
----
Pfffff
He wants to kill Ead :))))))))))))
Like please
----
The nerve this guy has
He just thinks killing Ead is so easy
Like EXCUSE YOU
----
I swear to god Tané is as done with Niclays as me 😌
----
Okay so this guys at least respects Jannart.
Good
----
Fuck
I wish Tané had at her that sidden thing Niclays brought
Then she would have a chance at Kalyba
----
Imagine sleeping through the end of the world :))))))
----
“I will teach my heart to beat again.” is such a raw line I want to die
I dont even like Niclays
He is undeserving of it
----
I seriously dont think Niclays deserves this kindness from Jannarts wife
----
Excuse me wtf what do you mean her side was damp in blood?
----
Okay
Time for final review
The conclusion:
So
This book
This journey
It made me feel like I read a whole series, but I didnt because it was just one and its soooooo gooood
Definitely a re read and going to buy a copy
Also I loved all the details about the world and it was so well built its incredible but its to be expected since it took almost 6 years for the author do write it
A masterpiece
#the priory of the orange tree#emmanuel reads#samantha shannon#forgive my misspellings or whatever I wrote#this is who I am#you do what you can with what you've got

DBS COLORING BOOK CHAPTER 74 REVIEW
*spoilers* I liked this chapter in isolation.
*spoilery spoilers* I dislike this chapter when comparing it to other chapters.
Here's the battle Vegeta fans have been waiting for...! (Glad I lowered my greatly expectations)
First, let's talk about use of panels real quick. When there is action, Toyo has done better and uses about 6 panels max to convey the fight. But when there is dialogue, he uses too many panels. Like 7 to 9 panels on one page. That is too much for dialogue. And he has pointless reaction shots often.
It begins with the axolotl inspired Sugarians leaving their fishbowl homes through cleaning-tube roadways. I like their aquarium-like city and their buildings.
And here we are on page 2 with the Toyotaro dialogue. 😒 How can I tell? Compare it to Dragon Ball and you can easily tell the difference between Toriyama's dialogue & Toyotaro's dialogue. (Toriyama has been more focused with working on the DBS movies. I highly doubt he contributes as much to the manga as some fans believe.)
Vegeta sounds like Mr. Satan when calling fusion and cloning "tricks" lol. And no, I doubt Vegeta's Forced Spirit Fission would work on Granolah. Granolah split himself in 2 with a technique. It is still all Granolah & he hasn't absorbed anyone. Forced Spirit Fission is useless here.
Granolah sure is chatty again after he kept saying how he really really wants to kill these Saiyans. Vegeta tells him he parted ways with Freeza and he is an enemy now, as to which Granolah laughs. Granolah thinks Vegeta is betraying Freeza to spare his own life. This just let's us know what kind of person Granolah is...
Granolah is a nonsensical idiot who doesn't know how to reason well & doesn't listen to truth because he assumes he is already right. I don't like ppl like him who refuse to grow mentally. I went from liking Granolah, to not caring about his bland personality, to disliking him. 😑
Oatmeel's input is pointless because he doesn't sway Granolah into believing the Saiyans may not be lying. He quickly gives up and becomes quiet. Vegeta informs Granolah that he was a child when Planet Cereal's ppl were killed and wasn't part of the attack. But he doesn't care and Paragus wants revenge against the royal family... I mean, Baby wants revenge on all Saiya... Granolah wants to kill all Saiyans.
Then we get Vegeta saying he will kill Granolah after barely talking to the guy who was willing to talk. I guess Vegeta just wants to fight and test his power instead of trying to redeem himself like earlier chapters implied and fans theorized. Throw that out the window.
He turns SSB Evolution & Hakai's large rocks around Granolah. But Granolah appears behind him and shows Vegeta true hakai. He elevates a big chunk of the ground & blows it up then the force pushes Vegeta to him and Granolah strikes him. Cool way to use the environment in battle.
Also, Granolah knows Hakai. He shows it off by using his own more powerful Hakai & suggests Vegeta's training with Beerus is lacking.
There is some cool looking art. Their fight moves from forest to river to lake. Interesting environment s for DB. Reminds me of the Cooler movie and the fights on Namek a bit.
This entire time, Vegeta is on the defensive and has to run. But, I find pages 16-21 silly.
Why is Vegeta swimming when he can fly through the water?! Swimming is slower & Granolah is firing fast ki blasts at him!
YOU: "But, Vegeta is swimming so Granolah can't detect his ki."
Granolah can see him! His right eye is supposed to see blood flow and stuff. He nearly hits him multiple times. And lets not forget he was sniping them long distance and his Goku in the neck and almost took him out. Why does Granolah need aim assist now? I'll tell ya why. To make Vegeta look more impressive than Goku by making Goku look like a poor fighter. And this was a Goku who was using Ultra Instinct and still got messed up by Granolah while Vegeta is just using SSB Evolution. Character sabotage... 😒
Back to my complaints about Vegeta swimming. The swimmin' would work in OG Dragon Ball but not here. It would work on Namek with Freeza who can't sense ki, but not here with Granolah who can sense ki (& maybe even god ki) & his eye can percieve all kinds of movements of the body.
And why does Vegeta momentarily pop up out the water then go hide back into it? Don't say its 'cause he needs to catch his breath. He aparently did training holding his breath while on the Heeter's ship, so he should be fine holding his breath. It was for a short period of time anyways. It just doesn't fit and is unnecessary in multiple ways.
Vegeta Hakai's Granolah's big blast to escape it and it blows him out of the water. Interesting kinda... Until you realize that Vegeta's training that we were shown was lame. He just Hakai'd logs & rocks! It should've shown him trying to Hakai ki blasts from Beerus. Make his training look cool darn it!
Chapter 70 Established that Hakai has changed. It no longer is just erasing things from existence in different ways. It has to have a *boom* explosion to it. So when Beerus Hakai'd Zamasu in chapter 19, there should've been an explosion instead of turning him into sand? So, now whenever the Hakai is used, there will always be an explosion...? I don't like how Toyo is quick to change what he set up just for his convenience...
Granolah brags about himself then Vegeta brags about himself-...! That's why I dislike Granolah! He's just like Vegeta! Maybe if I stop thinking of Granolah as a "good guy" then he will be cooler? I did like evil Vegeta as an evil character. We were supposed to hate him. So, if I imagine Granolah as an evil Vegeta... It worked! Granolah's unappealing attitude works perfectly if you view him as an evil enemy! (Still kinda preachy tho)
VEGETA: "But I'm still going to win."
Vegeta fans rejoice! Your prayers have been answered by the great Zalama! Vegeta announced victory...! Wait... I've seen this before... Yo... Vegeta fans, prepare for Vegeta to be defeated just in case. He has a record of announcing victory then ultimately losing. Don't get your hopes up too high.
Lol Granolah disses Vegeta's ego 👌. But Granolah is unknowingly talking about himself too XD. Dummies. Vegeta mocks him by calling him "Mr. Strongest" & Granolah has nothing to day. Granolah can dish it out but can't take it.
Goku wakes up and sees Vegeta fighting Granolah. Who cares? How are you gonna be caught off gaurd in a form that reacts on its own? Go back to sleep. I'm not mad at you, Goku. I'm just disappointed.
Vegeta fires a barrage of ki at Granolah and Granolah Hakai's them. Then Vegeta fools Ganolah into destroying an ancient city of the Cerelians.
VEGETA: "I can tell, you know... That you only recently acquired this absurd strength."
GRANOLAH: "How? How can you tell?"
VEGETA: "Thank you for confirming."
There's the Granolah we know. Quick to give out valuable info. Also, this is to make Vegeta appear "smarter" & a "better fighter" than Goku. Realistically, a master martial artist like Goku would be first to notice that Granolah recently acquired this kind of power. But, Goku is being dumbed down for Vegeta's sake.
VEGETA: "Need I repeat myself...? You may be stronger but... there's no gaurantee that I'll lose to you!" *attempts to break Granolah's leg*
So says the guy who always loses unless the opponent is weaker than him. But, he even lost to weaker opponents on Earth before, so....
Vegeta fans calm down, calm down. This is basic Vegeta dribble. Let's be real. When has Vegeta ever defeated an opponent that was stronger than himself? Never. When has Vegeta become stronger than his opponent and defeat them because they're weaker than him now? Always. Does Vegeta ever win when he is too cocky? Nope. This is to hype y'all up. Don't be mad if he loses. Y'all know this routine. The arc ain't even over so the chances of him winning are low.
Now let's examine Vegeta's fight in comparison to Goku's fight.
Goku goes through all his forms & uses Ultra Instinct in base, SSJ, SSG, SSB, & then goes silver haired UI when fighting Granolah. Then, he loses in every form. Vegeta goes straight to Blue Evolution and only seriously gets hurt once.
Goku keeps getting hit despite having a technique that is all about evasion. Vegeta gets hit far less & doesn't have Ultra Instinct.
Goku was struggling to fight a clone that was half the power of Granolah. Vegeta fights Granolah at his full power and struggles less.
Goku complains about his training and how he is struggling using his technique. Vegeta who had less time with Hakai training isn't complaining about struggling with Hakai.
Goku far surpassed Vegeta in the Moro arc, yet they are crippling Goku to let Vegeta catch up & make him look better. Vegeta has literally gotten a handout that he didnt have to work hard for in order to catch up with Goku... This chapter is fine when isolated and you aren't thinking about any other previous chapter. But, it is a convoluted mess when you look back at the previous chapters, the piss poor storytelling, & Vegeta's poor Hakai training that leads up to this chapter.
Where'd that "heroic" Vegeta and that "redemption" stuff go? Its as if Toyotaro decided he should stop tying to make Vegeta the hero & main character instead of Goku being the main. (Thank God.)
But... Vegeta says that he loves fights that are unpredictable?? That I disagree completely with. Vegeta wants fights to go in his favor through all of DBZ and will throw a fit when it doesn't.
In RoF: it was going in his favor so he loved it.
Destroyer Tournament arc: he didn't like that things didn't go his way in the end.
Future Trunks arc: he was upset when losing to Black, but loved it when he thought he was going to win.
ToP: angry when everyone else surpassed him, happy when he gained an upperhand, upset when he lost the upperhand.
Moro arc: Vegeta is upset that Moro is stronger but even more upset that Goku is stronger than him. When he is stronger than Moro he is loving it. Then when he loses the advantage, he is upset.
Vegeta doesn't love unpredictable fights, Goku does! Vegeta loves predictable fights in his favor.
Granolah asks how many lives were sacrificed for Vegeta's carnage. Vegeta doesn't answer. Why? Because its best to ignore the fact that he has killed billions of ppl so that Vegeta fans can ignore his bad actions (Yet many say that Vegeta has developed so much without acknowledging his terrible past). Can't have Vegeta looking like a bad guy in this chapter, right?
Oh boy! Page 37 is more "Vegeta hype!" He doesn't care about strongest or second strongest ('cause he has never been 1st place) & he basically explains Dragon Ball to us.
Roshi already taught Goku & Krillin that there will always be somebody stronger, so they need to keep reaching higher and higher.
If Vegeta is stronger than he was a few minutes ago, would that mean the same for Goku when he was fighting? Why did he perform so poorly? I wonder... 🤔
Granolah jabs Vegeta in the stomach, but Vegeta manages to slow it down (how come Goku using Ultra Instinct couldn't do that?). And cool. Blood. Anime has better writing and cool character development/moments. The manga has blood... Well, I guess blood is cooler to some ppl.
Vegeta is looking like Goku in the ToP before he attained UI. He has his head down & all. Vegeta just isn't talking about hownl much he sucks. Why does Goku keep insulting himself? N-nevermind. This is about Vegeta who keeps complimenting himself.
Why did Granolah become scared of Vegeta suddenly? Wouldn't he just see him as a mad dog and use his amazing power to put Vegeta down before he can do anything? He hates them so much, but keeps letting them live.
Uh oh... Vegeta doesn't like protecting and saving? BuT I tHoUgHt hE wAs a hErO! Where is his development going?? Ya mean the real development he had in the anime or the pseudo development in the manga?
But even after saying all that... I prefer manga Vegeta to be like this instead of a wannabe hero. Wannabe hero doesn't fit. This feels like Vegeta is in character again. I like this. I was just criticizing how Vegeta was written in past chapters in comparison to this one. A more chill Vegeta who loves battles? This is what I've wanted from DBS manga Vegeta for a long time!
Oh snap! Vegeta's transforming? I wonder what it will look like (thanks for the warning from the leaks 👍). Oil... Why are you even in this chapter? We don't care about you right now & you're boring without Maki. Goku says it ain't "any old god ki."
I wonder how Goku never knew about this new form if he and Vegeta trained on Beerus Planet together. Ya think he would've sensed and saw it & even wanted to fight against it.
So is this new form a spur of the moment thing? So Vegeta has a new form that he never trained... And he asks if Granolah has been training his new power on page 34... Sounds hypocritical of Vegeta, or he is being thrown a bone to make him look capable. Is Vegeta gonna pull a Golden Freeza by not training this new form? Or maybe a UI Goku at the ToP and lose the form?
Page 43, Granolah shoots tiny ki blasts at Vegeta's tower of flaming ki and he is surprised it did nothing. Why not try again but this time use that one big blast instead. No? Gonna let the guy of the race you hate finish transforming? Just gonna be scared and shocked to make Vegeta look impressive? Ok.
Pages 41, 44, & 45
Oh! Here it is! The new form...! Aaaand I still don't like it. Also, he healed up like Goku did last chapter too. Odd. Why does transforming heal them now? Didn't before.
No build up to make the form more cool, it's just
"Here, Vegeta. Goku has one more form than you do & he has mastered UI, so we can't let you fall too far behind. So I just pulled this crap transformation fresh outa my butt and gave it to you."
Another undeserved handout. Can you please make Vegeta earn a new form in the manga? PLEASE?!
Vegeta looks like he is in his own UI Omen form (like how Vegeta fans begged for Vegeta to get for the longest time). Dark hair with sone lighter coloured higlights, light coloured pupils, new aura. But this is what I see...
SSJ3ROSÉ of DESTRUCTION INSTINCT OMEN (or just "SSJ-ChexMix" for short)
Looks like in the end, Vegeta needed to resort to his own Ultra Instinct equivalent!
Oh no... I criticized Vegeta's bad writing too much! I bet some Vegeta fans are gonna automatically assume that I hate him because I want him to be written better without plotholes! 😱
IN CONCLUSION:
This chapter is good when isolated on its own. But, this chapter is filled with inconsistencies when you look back at previous chapters. Overall, it's... a mixed bag that I barely like. It's just so retarded that Goku had to be dragged through the mud just for Vegeta to look better. That is insulting to Vegeta and it either shows how much he sucks or or how weak the writing for Vegeta is. But we got what we got...
Wanna know how to make Vegeta look good without making Goku look pathetic? Goku never uses MUI! Goku defeats Granolah's clone with SSB. Then, Granolah merges back with his clone & catches SSB Goku by surprise and knocks him out.
Then, the reason why Vegeta seems to be doing better is because Vegeta is using SSBE, unlike SSB Goku who was caught off guard. Why make the MUI form & Goku both look like trash just to give Vegeta his own Ultra (Destructive) Intinct? Is Vegeta really that trash?! 😓😴
I don't wanna see the Heeters anymore. My hype for them died, but maybe a later chapter can make me like them more. Idk.
Where is my homie, Moniato?! 🐌 (BEST CHARACTER OF THE ARC SO FAR!)
Oh yeah...I was supposed to complain about not seeing Freeza again like I do every chapter... Who cares at this point? If Granolah is stronger than Goku & Vegeta, what can Freeza do? Hide for 3 yrs and let Granolah die?
What are my predictions for next chapter? More Vegeta wanking of course. More gloating & looking down on Granolah too. A battle of overinflated egos. Bad dialogue and decent to good art. I'll probably find it mostly boring but I may be surprised (that could be a good or bad thing). Vegeta will appear to be winning before...
Vegeta gets defeated & certain Vegeta fans will rage & be annoying. Those ones will complain about how Vegeta always gets the short end of the deal (that's what he gets for being shorter than Bulma & 12 cm taller than Krillin). This one should happen imo based off of Goku's performance.
Vegeta's fight will get interrupted before the battle ends so that Vegeta fans don't get angry. Make Vegeta fans feel that Vegeta could've won and keep them grasping on to hope. (How manipulative.) This one is most likely to happen to "satisfy" all fans.
Vegeta will win and Vegeta fans will rejoice & some will be very annoying. Despite the fact that he had terrible training, was handed a new form just to stay relevant, and Goku had to underperform & UI had to be nerfed just to make Vegeta look good. This one may happen just to appease Vegeta fans. (That is the worst outcome imo.) If Vegeta gets "a win/a W" against a main villain, make sure his training looks impressive and he has some sort of connection to the main bad guy. That way the victory feels well deserved.
If the final enemy is Freeza, then Vegeta defeating Granolah isn't "a win" against a major villain. Granolah will just be a bump in the road. He's already set up to not be a "bad guy." In the end, the main bad guy will be either Freeza, Gas, 7-3, or someone. Vegeta fans shouldn't care if Vegeta wins or loses against Granolah. He isn't the "final boss."

Sun & Moon #1
Lu Ten, since the beginning of the au, has gained many family members. many good, healthy, stable family members. he’s glad, as he was afraid he’d be stuck with his manipulative uncle, very creepy grandfather, and war-torn nation for the rest of his life.
Now, however, he has these people he considers family: (he has a tendancy to just adopt people on sight, wonder where he got that from)
Ursa & Kya - Aunts, but he sees them as mother figures, as his own died years ago
Hakoda, Bato, & Ikem - Uncles, but also like a second, third, and fourth father respectively
Iroh - Father, of course. gets a lot of his personality and quirks from him.
Kuei - Husband and best friend, completely trusts him with his life
Toph & Smellerbee - Daughters, loves to train with them in his spare time
Jet & Longshot - Sons, also trains with them, but gets taught Archery by longshot a few weeks after meeting him
Zuko, Sokka, Azula, Katara, Kanaaq, & Chenric - Cousins, adores all of them equally, has memorised their favourite gifts
Aang - Little brother, absolutely adores him
Appa & Momo - mentally adopted them as his own pets the moment he met them
Teo - brother-in-law, thinks his wheelchair is so cool, totally a bit jealous Teo can fly and he cant
Haru - son-in-law, definitely got really excited then pretty emotional when Jet told him that he had a boyfriend
Yue - cousin-in-law, but has a sibling relationship with her
Kanna - Gran-gran, loves hearing her stories and tales, spends half of his time at the SWT playing pai-sho with her
Hama - has a healthy amount of fear and respect for her, she is a bloodbender, but gets attached to her anyway. it takes a while for Hama to warm up to the fire nation side of her new family, but eventually she accepts them.
Suki - Cousin-in-law, trains with her frequently when she visits, definitely little sister/eldest daughter relationship
Mai & Ty Lee - not officially in the family, but definitely considers them family anyway. Adores them both and got chi-block training from Ty Lee, showed Mai his throwing knife collection within the first hour of meeting her way back when she and ty lee were little kids. the knife collection has grown a lot since, and he infodumps about a lot of them when Mai comes to visit.
Druk - do i need to explain this? he’s gotten extremely attached to druk, and both whine when lu ten has to go home (he’s mostly joking, he loves the earth kingdom, but goddamn it he wants a dragon)
Bosco - instead, he settles for a bear. He has a more chill, relaxed relationship with Bosco than Kuei has with the bear. although lu ten has been caught fast asleep on the floor with bosco curled up around him before.
Piandao - isn’t going to complain about getting another family member, and was already close to him before it, so hes extra close to him now. likes teasing him about how awkward Piandao can get around Jeong Jeong, but always shuts up when Piandao teases him about being so flustered around Kuei. He considers it to be a tie every time.
Jeong-Jeong - cousin-in-law, likes him but doesn’t spend much time with him, wants to but has certain old-white-haired-firebending-men issues and such, so they stick to a “your my family, i care about you, but don’t touch me” relationship
Bonus: the rest of his bio family:
Azulon - refuses to be left alone with him, refuses to stand close to him, would’ve refused to even look or speak to him if Azulon hadn’t been firelord. Azulon’s the reason he’s uncomfortable around old men he doesnt know.
Ozai - until ozai got crowned, they were on rough speaking terms, a thin tolerated line they both walked on. However, he does have some good early-childhood memories of ozai doing his hair for him in the mornings. Nowadays, he tries not to remember Ozai even exists in the first place.
Sozin - never got to meet him, knows damn well Sozin was gay, but hates him for the whole ‘started a war’ thing. spat on his grave when he was 14 bc of the ban on gay marriage.
Ilah - azulon’s wife. got along very well with her, actually. he was the favourite grandchild of hers- azulon didnt care enough to have a favourite- so when he thinks back to his memories with his mother, he either pictures Illah, Ursa, or Kya.
#azulon#ozai#sozin#ilah#ursa#kya#hakoda#bato#teo#haru#jet#longshot#toph#aang#zuko#azula#katara#sokka#chenric#kanaaq#kanna#hama#jeong jeong#piandao#druk#bosco#king kuei#kuei#smellerbee#appa

One day, hop told leon about his feelings towards victor. leon was surprised and laughed, teasing his little brother about being in love at his own best friend, of course,leon still support him,but lets be honest older brother will bully no matter what.
often times,leon teases hop by text,poking fun at him because hop is head over heels on victor, not to mention hop pratically screams on his text whenever he text leon about victor.
leon ofcourse,tells this to raihan,raihan laughed and smiled.
Leon stared for abit,laughed awkwardly and the realization hits.
leon called hop that he...likes raihan,hop laughed hysterically,and of course mocks leon in return, and oh boy,leons lovesick case is way worse than hop.
hop had the courage to ask victor for lunch and is still brave enough to talk to him. leon? leon is hopeless,despite being a tactical genius,an ex-champion and the CEO & chairman of the battle tower, he just doesnt know how,and raihan getting more handsome each day doesnt help either.
well leon doesnt go awkward,and run away whenever raihan goes near,he just doesnt make any move. compared to hop,who already hold hands with victor,and cooked him curry with a heart shapped sausage in the middle.
raihan and leon saying “i love you bro,no homo” everyday doesnt help either,whenever leon tries say that he loved raihan,raihan laughed and replied back with “i love you too champ,no homo” he has the need to say “but i love you with full homo” but of course he didnt.
time pass by,and after months off woo-ing victor,hop tries to confess to the current champion and victor accepted the confession! now theyre boyfriends hip hip horray! hop calls leon about it and leon is very proud,hop asked leon about his progression with raihan and leon shrugged and replied with “still the same hopscotch” with a heavy sigh in the end.
one day,hop suddenly felt the urge to ask raihan how he feels about leon, and so,he goes to hammerlocke, but he doesnt go straight with “hey raihan,do you like leon? because leon does and he probably wants to marry you and make babies with you” nu-uh, hes going to ask raihan about dragon type pokemon first (saying its a part of his studies) THEN leon.
after hours and hours of discussing about dragons,and hop trying to shift the conversation slowly to leon, he finally asked the question “hey raihan,what do you think of leon? leon talked alot about you,and i wonder about your thoughts about him yknow” raihan stared at hop,looks away,stared at hop again,and he replied with “hes..good and all- i guess” a cough “what did leon said about me? i mean if he mocks me and all,id tell you about the bad stuff,but if he...says good things then,ill tell you the good things,so itll be balanced”
hop stares at raihan,smirked and tells raihan most of it.
that leon is grateful having raihan as his rival, and best friend,because he is reliable in any kind of circumstances, considerate, gentle and patient,especially because leon is a klutz sometimes,raihan never gets angry at him and helped him instead,raihan is also very supportive,yet tries to slow down leon if hes planning something impulsive, and despite his narcistic persona, raihan is humble and polite.
raihan looks down for a sec, pulls his bandana down, (to wipe his tears) and then finally raihan goes on with his opinion on leon
(hop secretly records this because he cant help it,hes tired of his big ol’ brother’s pinning)
raihan is also,very grateful having leon as his rival and best friend,he never spreads negative energy despite always being sorrounded by it,caring,affectionate,a great listener because raihan rants alot,leon also give actual good advices and constructive criticism.a good emotional support too,despite raihans thirst for attention,leon never judged him for it.
hop agrees, and is glad that both cares about each other. and after that he thanked raihan and left,but before he does, raihan asked hop why did hop ask his opinion on leon. hop shrugged and said “leon is just,very glad to have you on his life, and want you to be forever his,okay see you later, raihan!” and hopped on the flying taxi. raihan cant believe he heard that.
leon want him to be...forever his? his what??
hop arrived home,and sent leon the stuff he recorded,told leon that hop says the word,and yells at leon to confess already.
leon listened to the recording,expecting something bad but..he didnt. his love for raihan grows wider and his urge to marry date raihan at this point has grown larger than ever.
he finally had the bravery to ask raihan to hang out with him,and maybe,just maybe talk about his feelings.
he texted raihan if hes free on weekends,so that they can hang out on leons apartment, raihan said yes and probably gonna be there at friday so he can sleepover,leon gladly agrees because whats more romantic than confessing your feeling to your best friend on your bed?
the day has come,they spend some time together,heck even had a baby pokemon fight on leons balconny (both just hatched a baby trapinch and a baby axew,of course theyre gonna make them fight) watched the sunset together,platonically,definitely 0 sexual tension.
they showered (sadly not together),had dinner,played with their baby pokemons until it got tired and sleeps, and its finally their turn to sleep.
both got comfortable on the bed,and leon starts the conversation
“so...hop told me about what you think about me” leon paused for a second to see raihans reaction,raihan just stared at him,waiting for him to continue, “thank you..it... it meant alot coming from you”
raihan just shot an awkward yourewelcome,followed by a very uncomfortable silent.
leon jolted up “raihan,if you want to leave then leave but- but please dont leave me completely because youre 1 of the biggest part of my life,and you,leaving completely would ruin me” leon is in verge of tears. raihan slowly got up,tries to soothe leon that he wont leave no matter what leon will say, leon sighed,and continues “dont try to slow me down for this plan” he glared at raihan like how he does when he battles “raihan i- i like you,like,like like you,love you,full homo,i dont know for how long but im pretty sure its there for along time,because- when the realization hits, it hits hard, it doesnt feel like a giddy puppy love feeling,its something more serious and if you got disgusted i-”
“theres no way im disgusted” raihan cut leon off,grab leons shoulder, “because i like you too,but im too scared to move because throwing 14 years of friendship is not wise at all” leon chuckled and replies “i guess it is huh”
leon tackled raihan,hugging him tight,raihan hugged him back,not wanting to let go. after at least 20 minutes of nonstop hugging,raihan lets go,but leon wont let him,pressing his face on raihans chest. raihan kissed leon on top of his head, “so what are now?” raihan asked,leon looks up “rivals?- wait, um” a pause “..boyfriends? please?”, raihan stared at leon,eyes filled with adoration “boyfriend it is,we already had dinner and played with our kids before so, i guess no date is needed,we are already official before we realize” leon laughed at the respond,let go of the hug,sat on top of raihan,cupped his cheek,peck raihans lip and hid his face next to raihans head. raihan rolled,making him on top of leon. and kissed his boyfriend properly.
after tons of smooches and hugs, they finally go to sleep. raihan sleeping on top of leons tits.
its supposed to be a short headcanon,but i didnt stop. sorry if its messy and all,i didnt plan it to be this long but im hoping that you enjoy this,thank you for reading till the end!

00:24:55 technoblade neva lies -guys he almost did the technoblade neva dies ahh!!!!!
i havent heard anyone talk about this but techno has a dedicated roleplay voice. like listen to him talk to tommy at 00:25:08. his voice gets more even, he uses names a lot more often (seriously, listen to his theseus speech. he says tommy so often, its incredible.), and his voice gets,,,,deeper? not deeper but smoother, in a way, and he repeats what he says for emphasis instead of humor. and his voice is louder, and he seems more assertive.
00:27:30 philza: where we goin, by the way? techno: to our- to my new home.
techno cmon let phil live w u wed get so much more content cmonn
00:28:50 the fact that he calls the manhunt theme “dream music” makes me laugh so hard. and then his version of it,,,,,m love he (also he sings it here and at 01:14:20)
00:35:10 why is ranboo so cryptic im-

01:09:30 “phil, you’re the only friend i have left in this world.” aWWWWW HE GAVE HIM THE COMPASS
“dont smoke, it’s a joke” -technoblade 01:14:15
ROLEPLAY SPEECH VOICE IS BACK AT 1:16:10 “they pillage my base for everything i’m worth, they use me for the revolution, but oooOOOoo i took a pickaxe with his consent? oOOOooOo i’m a thief!”
holy shit 01:17:15 “you know what, phil? for you, the world, alright? it’s fine.” oH MY GOD HHHHGHG (context, right before they were arguing bc phil took some blocks from his base and techno thought that when he said phil could take anything he meant from the chests)
the COMIDY of that villager coming in and sleeping while techno was readin donos at 01:22:05 RIGHT AFTER phil freaked out abt inturruptin his dono readin im SFDHKJLA:
techno talkin bout the winstreak and how he wont be able to live up to that sort of playin at 01:22:30ish is super important and ill transcribe it tomorrow, but if u can id highly rec watchin it.
01:24:20 “[readin dono] what’s your favorite movie? uh, the princess bride is pretty good” techno ily that movie rocks also he said it so fast like hes ashamed of it noo
techno says no to canon ranboo son btw! 01:25:30
01:25:55 “i wasnt in that story, therefore it doesnt matter” all of technoblr be like
01:37:49 is great lemmie transcribe
“how have you still not gotten a second monitor?? holy shit.”
“let me tell you something. and im only telling you this because i know that so many people in the chat are gonna be furious. so i recently realized- i think the second monitor can just be any ol’ monitor, right? you literally just plug it in, and its set up? well i mean you have to turn on some settings, but like, thats it, or something?”
“yeah,,,,, uh techno you fuckin destroyed my chat, by the way, oh my god, [earlier techno told his viewers to twitch prime philza] there has been like 40 primes just flying through”
“yeahhh twitch prime!!! twitch prime philza yeahh!!! so anyways the other day, i like, i looked to my left, and realized that my old monitor has been like, five feet away from where i sit and stream for the last three years?”
“oh my god...”
“so i- i literally do not have to leave my room to set up a second monitor and i havent. and i’m still usin my laptop for this stream.
“is this gonna be one of those situations where you like, you have a thing, you just refuse to do the thing?”
“listen, my desk is-
“yOU STILL HAVENT OPENED UP THE HYPIXEL PACKAGE!!!”
“AHHHH I HAVENT OPENED UP THE HYPIXEL PACKAGE! I HAVENT EVEN OPENED UP MY MCC COIN! DUDE I HAVENT EVEN OPENED UP MY ONE MILLION SUBSCRIBER PLAQUE! ITS STILL THERE RIGHT BEHIND ME! ITs sTILL IN THE BOX! i never made a video on it....”
“bruhhhhh [philza laughs] thats FREE VIEWS what are you doing??”
“ill open it at 8 mil :/.”
“you could LITERALLY make a video of you just like, throwing it off a wall, and then thumbing up, like doing a thumbs up, and then that would be it. 10 seconds. ten seconds. thumb and elbow in shot. [laughs]”
techno is such a disaster i love him
01:34:18 the way techno says “tommy, that statement has NEVER been true” i dont like sayin i simp for block men but GOD sometimes his voice is nicer than usual hhhgn
“man i sure wish tommyinnit was in this stream” -nobody ever (just after previous timestamp)
01:40:15 is fuckin hilarious and im actually crying oh my god techno just says things and says them well with a completely straight face how does he do it
i cannot WAIT until theres a president w the last/first name andy so we can say president andy and think abt technoblade
IM CRIASDNGUSFHD 01:44:38 PHILZA LOOK OUT LOOK OUT PHILZA LSKJDAFJASD;LKF
i love when techno talks abt his vids. like u can tell he puts a lot of thought into the vids (esp these ones) and like at 01:47:00 he talks abt the “I DIDNT PUT DEAPTH STRIDER ON THOSE BOOTS, FUNDY!” and how its just that creepin realization that you were doomed from the start and how he made the armor, he isnt intimidated by the netherite bc he didnt enchant it all the way and only he knows that,,, and i just,,,hgg he
he reveals that hes writin the next arc at 01:48:00: “oh, speakin of arcs, chat, i’m writing the next arc. so, you know. hope nothin bad happens in two weeks, chat!” IM SO EXCITED like he clearly has his character fleshed out and is SO good at writing and retellin history im so so excited to see where he takes it AHHHH and also taht means he might stream more bc he might make his character more important (keep in mind this is the guy who wrote self insert hypixel fanfics. he has no shame in puttin himself first and i respect him so much for it)
01:51:20 “they’re tryin to get a second customer but they’re riskin their first” is lowkey a good line
has anyone else noticed that techno says wise a lot? like at 01:55:10 he literally says “wise dragon armor” as a joke but like i think he says wise so much BECAUSE of skyblock like hjkfdsla
01:57:30 techno plea se eat
ok 1:58:45 is hilarious and all but at the end of his ramble he says “come back, i miss you” and lowkey im crying
techno needs to stop knowing his audience more than we know ourselves im hsfkjda 02:05:25 “the chat’s spammin ‘eat technoblade, eat!’ like they’re not gonna start, like, theyre not gonna get super sad if i ended the stream right now, like theyre not gonna all cry ‘i miss technoblade *sniffs* why- whyd he leave to eat food, why did he listen to our advice noooo’”
02:14:50 NEW VIDEO POGGGG CARL THE HORSE POGGGGGG NOT A STREAM HIGHLIGHT POGGGGG
02:17:40 “i could start a potato farm out here to show how much ive changed” techno last time u made a potato farm u started an entire war that lasted a year that does NOT say calm and retired to me lskgdfjagsldj
02:23:00 why does techno just reference greek mythology so much. makin me scared for his arc.
also he talks abt smp earth a lot in this stream i love it so much

So my girlfriend has been trying to have me read the Wheel of Time series since when she was just my best friend. I picked back up the second book recently but it's been a while since I read the first and she went on this massive "YOU WON'T REMEMBER EVERYTHING FROM THE FIRST BOOK, LET ME TELL YOU"
This led to her Wheel of Time in 5 Minutes ™ lecture/rant and... I had to share this with the world. Enjoy.
Obviously every spoiler for the first book. You've been warned.
_______
k, eye of the world in 5 mins.
begins in the two rivers, emonds field, is gonna be bel tine and everyones all excited. rand lives further afield with his father and theyre bringing in brandy for the inn. rands all omg someones watching me as theyre getting in, tams all i cant see anything, rands all mustv imagined it. they get there. they hear theres going to be a gleeman. meets up with his bestie perrin and LOVER mat I WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP who are both like yeah we totes saw the figure too. they go we'll tell the mayor tomorrow.
they see the gleeman thom and theyre all omg a gleeman, omg. then the two strangers, moiraine, who is the best character ever to character in any universe fucking fight me on that and lan, who are asking questions about the area and people and moiraines like oh hi child to nynaeve the wisdom whose like im the fucking wisdom bitch who the fuck are you. she then says to the boys hey here have this coin which is totally a normal coin cuz i might have errands and shit and theyre like holy shit anything you want.
then he sees egwene and hes all like omg the love of my life will you dance with me tomorrow at bel tine and shes all yeah sure in the afternoon cuz i got shit to do in the morning and hes all like wut? and shes all GETTIN MAH HAIR BRAIDED YO and hes all like holy shit that means shes marriagable, holy shit man.
then the peddler paidan fain rocks up and gets everyone in a frenzy over war wherever and false dragons and logain or whoever else.
rand and tam go back to the farm overnight before the festivities begin. shit goes down. trollocs smash in, rands all OMG TROLLOCS ARENT REAL THO LIKE WUT and tams all, fly you fool and rand runs into the woods. but then hes all, i cant fucken leave my father so he creeps back and in the shadows he sees tam creeping around with a sword and rands like DAFUQ why does he have a sword, fighting ensues, tam gets hurt, is dying, rand manages to get him back to emonds field with a figure trailing them.
tams delirious, starts talking about rands dead mother and then starts talking about a battle and how they all poured over the dragonwall and that it was snowing but it was so hot, battle is always hot and she was a warrior even though she was pregnant and she gave birth and died and how he took the baby and rand was all WUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. im gonna ignore that shit.
gets to emonds field. everything is in ruins. trollocs wrecked the shit there too. nynaeve is all like sorry dude, your dads gonna die. hes all fuck that, gets back to the inn where the gleemans like hey that ladys an aes sedai, she could heal him but i totally wouldnt because you never know what they ask for in price and rands all i dont care because HE IS MY FATHER. MY FATHER. HEEEEE. ISSSS. MYYYY. FATHERRRRR. thoms all, holy shit dude calm down hes your father. moiraine, the best character in the universe, heals tam, then shes all like look, you three boys need to come with me and rands all, well shit she makes sense and they go but then egwenes hiding too and shes all bitch im adventuring too and rands all AHHHH and moiraines all huh the wheel weaves what the wheel wills, whatevs, and they go on, with thom whose also like this place is boring asf, im coming on.
they head out, dragkhar fly overhead, moiraine like a mofo destroys them, they get to tarren ferry, cross on the ferry, then coincidentally theres a whirlpool and the ferrys destroyed when theyre on the other side and egwenes like HOLY SHIT YOU DID THAT and moiraines all cuz im fucking awesome and nobody can follow us now so stfu and they head on.
rand interrupts a lesson with moiraine teaching egwene the true source cuz egwenes got it. rands all FUCKING WTF and thoms all dude, leave it, you cant do a thing about it. Shes gone now. Why don’t you bang mat instead. I mean the mat comment never happened but I will ship them till my dying breath. moiraines all to egwene youll die if i dont teach you, there was another back in emonds who also had it but she managed to survive/channel in her own way.
egwene starts to unbraid her hair. rand has a crying fit. egwenes all fuck off man, i do what i want. mydraal and shit attack them, they get to baerlon safely. where the gatekeepers like the children of the light are around but they cant cause much trouble cuz the city watch hate them and the whitecloaks are little bitches. they get to baerlon. mat and rand walk around. they see a few of the whitecloaks, dane bornhold a young man leading the small group. mats like lol, watch this, enters a shop, climbs up the top and hurls a rock at them, loosening barels. rand has started to feel feverish and when the barrels nearly knock them over, rand stands there and doesnt hide and rands like lol and danes like dafuq are you looking at and rands like im looking at you what are YOU looking at and hes feeling really odd and reckless and danes like are you a darkfriend and steps forward but then the city guards turn up who hates the whitecloaks and they face each other off and mat hauls rand off all are you fucking insane, you faced him off and rands recklessness leaves him and he freaks out and they flee.
throughout this time and through the book all three have dreams but i cant be bothered to get into those, theyre basically all the dark one figuring out who is who, and they wake up after rats backs were broken in the dream to be all oh hey it was just dreams though, to find rats dead all over the place and other stuff. Moiraine told them early on to go to her if they have dreams and the boys talk about it and theyre like we should probably tell her but nah, she saes sedai and like, its just dreams yo, yeah a few rats end up dead but cool, its fine, we’re fine.
oh baerlons also where he meets min who can see things around them, like with him a sword that is not a sword and three women on his funeral pyre weeping and with perrin she sees wolves and mat dice and with lan seven broken towers and a baby in a cradle with a sword and blah blah. And she says she can see he loves egwene and egwene loves him too but theyre not for each other, at least not in the way they want to be.
then he returns and nynaeve is there and she is PISSED and is all like we're going home now and moiraine manages to convince her they are in trouble and nynaeves like ..... i dont trust you, but fine. and lans all how did you find us and shes all i tracked you bitches and hes all like, huh.
rand says to her later about MY FATHER HE IS MY FATHERRRR and nynaeves all awkwardly like er yeah totally, i totally dont remember when your father returned after adventuring with an outlander wife, that totally explains your red hair, er yea sure. but that above all they loved him as much as they wouldv loved any baby.
oh a bunch of times during the book people startle at him and him being so tall with red hair and grey eyes and say he resembles an aiel. oh, theyre also ta'veren, so extra special they draw people into doing stuff with their lives, they effect the pattern. moiraine also says the two rivers used to be manetheran, a fabled kingdom. that night shit happens and they run off. they run, fight, attack, fight, as they battle mat starts yelling out things in an old language he doesnt know, that moiraine says was a manetheran war cry and the old blood still sings.
theyre going to get outrun in battle and against moiraines judgement lan takes them to an old crumbling city shadar logoth which fell to the darkness and even trollocs and mydraal dont like entering it.
oh also tam gave rand the sword which is a heron marked blade and lans all like er only blademasters have these why did your father have one and rands all HES MAHHH FATHERRRRRR and lans all yeah but how and rands all he bought it from a merchant years before and lans all yeah that sounds totally legit.
they go into shadar logoth, the boys sneak off, meet mordeth whose all like lol here take the treasure and mats like cool but rands like holy shit he doesnt have a shadow and then mordeth goes all rahhhh and the three manage to escape and they return and ramble about what happened and moiraines like DID HE GIVE YOU ANYTHING and theyre all like no and mats like er totally didnt and moiraines like we have to move and they leave but then this shadow thing that can kill them separates them and theyre all separated and perrin and egwene fall into a river together, and nynaeve finds moiraine and lan and is all like I will cut you aes sedai for what you’ve done to all of us and moiraine is all lol, and rand and mat with thom end up on a ship, the spray, with bayle domon and theyre worried he’ll throw them overboard cuz of the trollocs that chased them but domon seems to think theyre after him.
moiraines like with the coins i can track them, but two of them have lost their coins (paying for passage on domons ship). perrin and egwene roam around a lot, finally meet up with a man elyas who can communicate with wolves. aes sedai once tried to gentle him because of it but it has nothing to do with the one power so it didnt do anything. theres hints he used to be a warder, but now he hangs out in the wilderness. he says perrin has the same thing, perrin freaks out. elyas is like ill take you to the next city cuz you guys are lost. they then meet up with the tuatha'an, the tinkers, who roam around and dont harm anyone even if theyre to be harmed. perrin cant reconcile that, hes all how can you defeat evil by that, but in turn they pity him as hes such a young, sad, violent man with his axe. his eyes start turning gold like elyas' and he starts to communicate with wolves like hopper and a bunch of them though he tries to deny it.
egwene dances with aram, one of the tinkers and perrins all wow what about rand and they eventually leave, though aram is restless for a tinker.
the leader asks elyas if hes found the song which is their formalities, elyas is all no we havent. the leader then tells him of a story he heard, of an aiel who crossed the waste and died, to tell them that leafblighter means to blind the eye of the world. then she died. they leave and then they then meet afoul of the whitecloaks who are fighting whatever and bornhold - danes father – and byar catches them. through the ordeal perrin kills two of the whitecloaks while hes being all half wolf in the battle and they take them in to be questioned.
nynaeve and moiraine/lan end up finding them, releasing them, the wolves assist, nynaeve gets left behind, lans all about to get her, moiraine reminds him of his oaths, nynaeve turns back up.
meanwhile rand/mat are at whitebridge and mats starting to get sick and suspicious. he had a dagger from shadar logoth. a mydraal finds them, thom hurtles his flute and harp at them, says to go, to leave. hes saving them because he once had a nephew who could channel and the red ajah gentled him, while thom was having an affair with the queen morgase of andor when he was a court bard and by the time he got to owen it was too late and hed not survived, which he always regretted and then because he left morgase the way he did she was pissed at him too. rand and mat run for it, rand sobbing that thom is dead.
they go from village to village to village, mat getting sicker and sicker, a young woman who ends up being a darkfriend tries to kill them, they escape. rand keeps thinking he sees padan fain the peddlar from home, whose actually a darkfriend.
moiraine tells nynaeve she has the power too, nynaeve has a mini breakdown. moiraine said it would have begun with a doing something she desperately needed then a few days later collapsing really ill and the illness disappearing quickly. nynaeve once said egwene had gotten sick as a child and shed healed her not knowing how, then gotten sick. moiraine says thats also how she found them to begin with, in the city, she could sense egwene.
rand and mat go to a poor inn, they try to rob them by locking them in the back. mats getting sick and even more paranoid. rand is terrified when he realises theyre going to sell them to a darkfriend and he prowls and prowls till the room theyre in explodes, the wall crumbling. rand doesnt know how but he thinks he did it himself. mat becomes blinded from it and starts sobbing.
they escape. on the run again. as mat is blind, rand takes care of him and mat in his illness is worried that rand will abandon him which rand would never do because mat is the LOVE OF HIS LIFE, rand ends up really sick, paralleling what moiraine said what happened to nynaeve.
they end up hitching a ride to caemlyn where they expect moiraine to find them, if shes still alive. the buggy driver talks about the queen. how elayne is the daughter heir and her brother is the first prince of the sword. its been tradition forever that the daughter heirs go to tar valon to train and the princes go be taught by warders. he mentioned tigraine who was the queen before morgaise, who disappeared mysteriously nearly twenty years ago, who left behind a son galad. morgaise married the husband and became queen and while she had elayne and gawyn, galad lives with them too, now the husband is dead. oh, also logain the false dragon is being presented to the queen as prisoner before the aes sedai take him to tar valon to gentle him.
they get to caemlyn, mats REALLY sick. rand leaves him at an inn, tries to go see the false dragon being brought in. he meets loial an ogier whose nice, whose like 90 but really young for an ogier to have left his stedding without permission. rand ends up thinking he sees paidan, but doesnt have a good feeling, tries to run off, falls into a castle garden. meets elayne the daughter heir who might actually be the most annoying character to exist, her brother gawyn. theyre like omg you look like an aiel. elayne then talks about gareth bryne the guard captain dude she ships hard with her mother. galad MY MOST PURE CHARACTER WHO I LOVE FUCK ELAYNE (not a spoiler, his name is of the most pure camelot round table knight) rocks up, is all, holy you broke into the palace. elayne whose a bitch is like how DARE YOU YOURE NOT MY BROTHERRRR and galads all we are siblings and my duty is to protect you and shes all you wont do anything with this rand ill invoke protection, then galad goes and tells the guards because theres literally a false dragon being brought in and tension is on the rise in caemlyn and hes taken to see morgase.
the red ajah elaida is freaked out by him, knows hes taveren, has a bit of a prophecy but it doesnt really mean much and morgaise is all look, we cant just arrest everyone, let him go.
he then races back to the inn, moiraine and everyones there, they all hug, then hes all like oh yeah mats sick btw. moiraine goes up and mats not just sick hes now tainted. she does the best she can but is all like he needs to get to tar valon to have the bond between him and the dagger properly severed. then moiraine meets loial who randomly talks about an event concerning the eye of the world. perrins all oh yeah thats like the dead aiel girl the tinkers spoke about. that changes the plans once moiraine realises the dark ones trying to get to the eye and shes like we cant get to tar valon yet we gotta leave now. they use the ways which loail knows how to use cuz ogier and male aes sedai made them together centuries before but now the ways are tainted.
theyre like the worlds between the worlds, can get to places quicker but it has the black wind thatll kill you. blah blah blah they use the ways, nearly die, but get to fal dara/shienar, which is sort of where lan is from. nynaeve confesses her love, lans all no i cannot, i cannot offer anything. it ends up that his parents had the throne but his ... there was scheming. His uncles wife wrecked everything, she escaped with her baby into the blight, lans cousin, nobodys seen or heard of them, moiraine suspects isam might be alive but GASP keeps it from lan. the seven towers crumbled, lan has a death wish, he believes hes the only one left so must die.
lord agelmar wishes lan would rise up the banner of the golden crane because everything about the blight is crumbling, lans like no, i have a new oath now with moiraine. lord ingtar is a fight me soldier who fanboys after lan. theres a battle going on in tarwins gap they desperately need help for, but lan says he cant. lord agelmar orders ingtar to accompany them to the blight and leave them cuz moiraines like we cant have anyone else come with us.
Paidan fain by this point has rocked up to shienar and tried to wheedle his way into the good graces of lord agelmar but hes all wtf you look like a creeper and throws him in a cell. Moiraines like I need to question him at some point.
moiraine then takes them into the blight to find the green man who can take them to the eye of the world. the green man rocks up, hes made of vines and flowers, takes them to the eye. two forsaken rock up. moiraine tries to fight, is knocked out, nynaeve and lan get knocked out, the boys run. the green man is destroyed by the forsaken. rand ends up destroying the forsaken, goes into the eye, channels the male source in there, realises he can channel, has a fight with the dark one - whose still bound under the seals, but rand believes he ended the dark one and its done. comes out, the others are recovering. brings out an old banner from the eye thats the dragons banner, broken seals from the dark ones prison, and the horn of valere. moiraine is all, we need to take these to tar valon. rands all, you do that, but im done with aes sedai, im not going to tar valon. im done. the dark ones dead and im going to do my own thing. he turns to egwene who backs away from him when he said he channeled, then she bursts into tears and hugs him and says shes sorry.
they return to shienar, fal dara, where there was a miracle in tarwins gap where they believed they saw the creator and that the light took on flesh - they saw an apparition of a man they didnt know as rand fighting the battle he fought. ingtars flipping his shit because he missed the battle while accompanying them, and then not even being able to accompany them the entire way. After all of his talking about going after a week rand is still there, finishing his sword practice with Lan in Agelmar's private garden and meets up with Egwene. He tells her that he will go away. Egwene asks him to come to Tar Valon with her and Nynaeve, itll totes be fun, I mean theres the red ajah and shit wholl attack him if they know but hey itll be fun, but Rand refuses. He says he'll never channel again. When she asks him if he'll be going home, he tells her that he'll never go home.
Moiraine is underneath Agelmar's private garden. She uses her blue teardrop thing she wears on her forehead to focus her eavesdropping on Rand and Egwene. Using it to eavesdrop was the first use of the One Power she had learned as a young girl in the royal palaces of Cairhieren.
Smiling, she says, "The Prophecies will be fulfilled. The Dragon is Reborn."
the end.
#wheel of time#eye of the world#spoilers#i love her#she has a lot of feels with this series if that isn't obvious#I remembered everything with Lan and Nynaeve though because they're my favorites#rand#mat#perrin#moiraine#lan#nynaeve#thom#aes sedai#my gf is both a writer and history major and this is how she talks when it's just me

thoughts while watching the first harry potter:
listen i started this list a little late im ngl but notable thoughts so far are me thinking of dumbledore as a gay idiot and still loving hagrid
do you think hes speaking in parseltongue in the zoo when hes speaking to the snake
forgot boats existed
these idiots do scream a lot dont they
i forgot how light hearted this universe really is in the first couple movies
yer a wizard harry, okay hagrid maybe slide him into it a little better
we get it tuney you have fucking trauma, doesnt mean you should abuse a child
hasnt everyone had their name down since they were born, hagrid? theres a list
i like that his umbrella is pink
are you paying for those damages hargid? stop taking the door off the hinges
though, if the dursleys are, keep breaking shit
speaking about dragons on the the fucking tube, its a miracle harry didnt get in trouble with the ministry sooner
what is hagrid's usual? does anyone know???
fucking Quirrell, cant wait for your epic love story with the dark lord
maybe we should tell the 12 year old how the fuck everyone knows his name, just maybe
they do a great job of getting the wonder down pat
how much money and licensing do you think it took for them to get all these owls on set
ahh yes, antisemitism the bank
how many vaults are in gringotts?? also if harry's vault is the potters vault, a literal like sacred 28 family, one of the original families, and its number 600 something, how many were there before the potters?? did the potters get a vault recently? or is this james and lily's vault?? how rich were james and lily if so??
look at ollivander, crazy tinker uncle, love him
this might be the socialist in me but why do people have to pay for wands if everyone needs one??
why is the dark lords twin wand just sitting around on the shelf, ollie me boy??
do you think thats Harry's true wand or do you think thats because of the horcux thing?? do you harry had to get another wand after he died?? did he? i dont remember the last movie
is ollie me boys actor wearing contacts or are his eyes just like that??
thats a very weird way of showing Halloween 81, very misleading
hagrid said ill predict voldys rise in the first movie so we can have some plot development
hagrid is late to everything isnt he? i can feel it in my bones
i swear ive seen these movies, and ive even read the first book, i just dont remember shit
youd think theyd have someone in the know stationed close to the entrance for the platform, for any muggleborns
ginnys actress really had no fucking lines in this movie did she, just had to stand there
oh wait she said good luck
amazing work ginny
ooh a warm filter
can muggles see the express? like just running from london to scotland
wicked!
you didnt have to show the woman the sad sandwich ron
i think the trolly replenishes magically, i think thats how thats how that works, i want to believe that
god i cant tell if i would love or hate hermione, shes pretentious but so was i at that age
god dont fucking point your wand right in someones face mione
how does mione know who harry is?? why does she care?
look at the tiny first years, might just go and pinch theyre cheeks
MINNIEEEE i love you minnie
looking stunning minnie, the green brings out the sternness in your brow
you go minnie, give your speech, thats my head of house
shut up draco, youre not bond
you pretentious fuckwit, your hair is brassy anyways
if this is a class of kids born in the middle of a war, how big are the usual class sizes wtf
THE FUCKING CLAP
fucking propaganda ron, you slytherin hater
what order are these names going in, did they just randomized the list
oooh we get quiet for the boy who lived, jesus let him keep living
the fact that for the rest of these people its just silent is so fucking funny to me, Harry's just fucking whispering to himself
get their attention minnie
me dads a muggle, mums a witch, bit of a shock for him when he found out
NICK, love to see you buddy
i have no emotional attachment to peeves but i feel i should mention him here
the stairs still piss me off, why the fuck would you make moving stair cases
who sets out gloves for the next day? am i the weird one who doesnt??
Minnie, you are the love of my life
shut up snape you dramatic bloodpurist incel
i know theyre setting him up to be mistaken as the villain but jesus christ hes still an asshole
your robes Neville, you forgot your robes
its weird how they have to learn all these latin charms yet only have to say up to get their brooms to work
why wont you go after him, hes obviously not exactly in control, Hooch
does Hooch only teach first years? she is quite literally the equivalent of a history teacher who coaches football
what the fuck is Quirells classroom
they dont make the house teams because no first years can try out, Ron
MINNIE PLAYED QUIDDITCH?!?!? WHY DIDN'T I KNOW THIS
why didnt you speak up earlier Mione wtf
bc the fire wont give you away, harry, better hide
FLUFFY, WHOS A GOOD BOY
they have much worse things locked up in the school, Ron
Oliver wood is a bloody liar because i still dont fuckign understand quidditch, also theres like 500 rules, wtf
thats a shitty explanation of how the game works, Oliver
BLOW IT UP SEAMUS
SHES TWO FEET BEHIND YOU RON YOU IDIOT
carrot cake? on halloween?
dont shrug as if you didnt literally bully her ron
thought youd oughta know, bit of an understatement Quirell
no duh the trolls left the dungeon ron
lying: the best start to any friendship
we're at a net zero points for gryffindor for the year at the moment
the amount of interaction these kids have with professors is so weird to me, is this what small class size do to kids?? its weird
not comforting Oliver
Okay i understand Oliver simps now, I get it okay
are there no backups or subs for quidditch? feels like there should be, like of all the games
set him on fire mione, i know hes not the villain of the movie but god he sucks
fancy flying from harry fucking potter
okay but also i feel like there are some things we should not trust hagrid with, like hes not that great at keeping secrets
why is harry excited about christmas if he thinks hes not getting presents? i knw there are other aspects but like thats the only reasont o get up early
i always remember this scene at night for some reason??
not just an invisibility cloak, THE invisibility cloak ron
btw who gives it to harry? is it remus? is it dumbledore? is it like an inheritance thing? whats up with that?
there are jumpscares in harry potter
he very much can hide, filch
stop being a narc mrs norris
does harry even know what his parents look like at this point? how does he know who the fuck is in the mirror of erised?? he doesnt have that stupid scrapbook yet does he
oh they nod, sure lets clear up that plot hole
they shouldve put sirius and remus in the mirror in that scene, shown his whole family, wouldve been a nice setup
how does rupert grint already look so tired as a twelve year old
big speech to give to a twelve year old Dumbledore, when you wont even tell him what you see
Emma really does just slam that book on Daniels hand, thats mustve fucking sucked
the fact that ive watched two movies that had Nicholas Flamel in two very different roles this year is very strange to me
well thats probably on account of it being a fucking dragon egg hagrid, now isnt it?
was hagrid a hufflepuff? i think he was, maybe a ravenclaw
yes four, you blonde idiot
that shot is really nice, it sets them apart
what happened to filch to make him such a miserable man?
ooh mention of werewolves, awooo werewolves of london
yeah just dip your whole hand in hagrid, dont be scared of the strange liquid, take a nice little bath
i loev that dog, i want that dog, i want to hug that dog
god just the look of that forest is so bloody cool
wait so is that quirell walking fucking backwards?
maybe ask who the fuck youre talking to before asking other questions??? wtf harry
why are yout talking to the centaur like hes your old friend harry, youve literally never met him before
snape doesnt want the stone at all Harry
god hagrid you sweet stupid man
snape is completely valid for that, if a twelve year old ever looked at me like that i would punch them
Do you think people ever loose invisibility cloaks? like theyre invisible do you think they ever just never get found again
i hate the look of the dog spit, that is so gross
they really left everything in except for the fucking potions didnt they, damn
harry potter walked so queens gambit could run
hermione, posted up
rons stupid in the later movies because he got a concussion as a twelve year old
god harry really posted up to beat up snape in fucking khakis
"I knew you were a danger to me!" Hes twelve, Quirell
let me wait for this weird dude to unravel his head scarf instead of running away
the magic in this movie is real fucking conditional isnt it
just some casual necromancy for the stone? you sure about that voldy, you two faced bitch?
let me choke out this twelve year old real quick
oh yeah why is he able to just avengers endgame Quirell? is there an answer to that? like was that ever found out
do you think voldy passing by him while he hold the stone actually killed him but since he holds the stone hes functionally unkillable and then some magic gets put into him and thats why he can return to life later when he actually goes to the whole afterlife place?
ohhh we're vouching on the blood magic for the endgaming of Quirell
do you think dumbledore came across the vomit flavored bean before or after his sister died?
Mione's got a headband! Looking snazzy!
how did Hufflepuff only get 352 points? Gryffindor literally lost 150 points this year and they only beat them by 50, wtf, is it because they kept getting caught with weed
I wont even speak on the fucking outrage that is this point awarding, its already been spoken on. However, Neville shouldve gotten more points
What if someone just stood up and started challenging Dumbledores math, that would be so funny
some of these extras are really attractive
but james potter is somehow so fucking ugly why did they do that to my mans
hagrid deserves the last shot of this film, i love him, he deserves everything, that stupid sweet man

Out of Time
THANK YOU @7h3hy8r1d FOR SENDING THIS IN i made it MUCH MUCH longer than I should’ve and i didnt proofread but...here it is.
WORDS: 1,936
CONTENT WARNINGS: Mentions of death, injury, blood, choking, basically its a lot of action fighting scenes and angst and me trying to fit something self indulgent into a canon scene.
SHIP: Jeice x Tomae (self insert)
The Grand Elder had died, and with the Dragon Balls turned to stone behind them because of his demise, the scene was dire. Freeza's long, alien tail thumped and swayed in furious irritation as he greeted the Z fighters from above, standing on a tall rock formation. His expression was a cold and empty smile.
"Now look what you've done," He spoke softly, but with an air of danger, "You've destroyed my dream of immortality..." His eyes trailed over Krillin, Gohan and Vegeta, and the little Namekian known as Dende. All but Vegeta would flinch at this. Still, he paused.
"Mmh, and I see there's no trace of the Ginyu Force...Did you destroy them? My goodness, you are industrious little tykes, aren't you...? And now even the Dragon Balls are useless..." The corners of his mouth twitched downward. "My one great desire is lost to me..."
Hopping down from the rock, he was now level with the four individuals. His smile was still there for a moment longer as he said, "Never, ever before has anyone made such a fool of Freeza..." And then, a scowl replaced his blankly polite stare. "Curse you all..."
As the land began trembling under his powerful rage, he shouted now. "You despicable maggots! I'll torture you to death, inch by bloody inch...!!" In response Gohan and Krillin leapt back in separate directions, staring with pure terror. Vegeta seemed nervous, but nowhere to the same extent...
Was it over for them?
........
A bit away, a saiyan stared at the sky from within Freezas broken spaceship. Said spaceship had been damaged from Vegeta's earlier rampage, but still functioned as a temporary base. More importantly, the sky had gone dark for a few minutes...
But as this planet had three suns...
"What was that?" The saiyan asked, glancing back at his companion, an injured red alien with puffy white hair. "An...an eclipse, maybe?"
"I doubt it, mate..." The ex-Ginyu Force fighter replied weakly, clutching his wounded side. "Nghh...!"
Tomae gasped and rushed to be knelt beside him now. "Jeice! A...Are you okay?!"
"She'll be right...I've dealt with worse, yeah?" He gave a soft smirk. But it vanished within seconds, and he winced. "But...We oughta get out of here, Tomae..."
"...Jeice, y-you know, why don't we get you into a -"
"All the healing pods are wrecked, thanks to Vegeta..." Jeice shook his head, "There's one - an older model - but those bloomin' Earthlings put one of their own in there. Goku, I think his name was..."
"W-well, then I need to find you bandages..." Tomae's voice cracked, and he paused as Jeice's gloved hand touched his face.
"...Like I said, it'll be fine." The fighter's voice was softer now.
Tomae's eyes watered, and he pressed the hand against his cheek. Gloves or not, the touch was gentle. "....If you say so..."
It hadn't been easy to rescue Jeice this far. Vegeta had only let Tomae rescue the alien because of a debt that needed repaying from long ago...If it hadn't been for that, then Jeice would've....He wouldn't be here right now.
Some silence passed, and Tomae's eyes eventually fluttered open again. "Jeice..."
"Hm?"
"I....I want to help them."
Jeice stared. "Help who? Hold it, you don't mean...."
"...I do."
Tomae began to stand, but Jeice grabbed onto him. "T-Tomae, you..."
"I know your orders were to destroy the Earthlings, Jeice, but...I think they're onto something. I don't think we should be listening to Lord Freeza."
Jeice stared, his expression becoming slowly more horrified. "T-Tomae, what're you going on about? We've served Lord Freeza for years, I...You can't turn on him!"
"...Vegeta did."
"Yeah, fat load of good it did the crazy bloke. He's probably dead now, you know?!"
"...I don't think so. I think Freeza would be back by now if he'd killed them already..." Tomae shook his head, and pulled free of Jeice's grip. "I came here to rescue you, but if I can do a bit more, then I-"
"Then you'll throw away the first thing you came here for? C-C'mon, Tomae, stop talkin' like this...We gotta escape while we can..."
"....Yes, you do." Tomae didn't look at him. "I want you to use your pod to get out of here."
"....W-what?"
"Please. Go to whatever planet you want, but just...Get out of here."
"Tomae..."
A moment of nothing but tension would come now. Tomae trembled slightly, his fingers clenched into fists. His tail was wrapped firmly around his waist, and even that looked like it was twitching in anxiety. Jeice stared, eyes wide, at the Saiyan he cared so much about...
"....Fine."
Tomae jolted. He looked over his shoulder at his boyfriend, who was beginning to stand up. "What? A-ah, be careful..."
"We're partners, right?" Jeice extended his hand. "You may be doin' somethin' stupid, but I won't leave you behind."
Tomae hesitated....Then began to cry again. Rather than take the hand extended, he threw himself into Jeice's arms. The red alien almost fell over, but managed to muster enough strength not to.
........
Freeza's final form, a sleek white-and-purple design, had come to fruition by this point, and his tail was wrapped around Vegeta's throat. Piccolo had joined the battle, Krillin and Gohan had almost been killed multiple times...And the life of Dende had been lost.
"By the way," hummed Freeza sadistically, looking to the three he wasn't currently crushing. "You can help him whenever you feel like it..."
And then a flash of light was seen as a blast was fired at the tyrant. Freeza simply sidestepped it, but seemed surprised by it. "My, my, has someone else come to join the party? But where...?" His eyes scanned the scene, then landed on a patch of sky.
"...Ah, another monkey."
Tomae landed on the ground nearby. "...Well you've been busy, Lord Freeza..."
"Indeed. I grow weary of this whole rebellious primate thing, though..." He shook his head. "You're not even a warrior, and you still intend to fight me..."
"T...To...." Vegeta choked out, though Freeza's tail's grip tighrened and silenced him once more.
"Who...?" Piccolo seemed to be asking Gohan and Krillin for explanation. "Is that another Saiyan?"
"Y-yeah...." Gohan gulped, "He...He showed up earlier, but..."
"G-gah!!" Krillin suddenly exclaimed, "It's that...That one guy..."
Indeed, Jeice hovered above, slowly coming to stand by Tomae. Freeza stared blankly for a bit, then pursed his lips.
"Now this...This is the surprise of the century. A soldier handpicked by my father to serve me has joined the revolution as well?" He gave a light, but sick chuckle. "...I suppose you really can't trust anyone but yourself these days, hm?"
"It's over, Lord Freeza..." Jeice spoke, "Not even your men are willing to follow you..."
"Yes, well...You speak with such confidence, but you're starting this off clutching your side..." Freeza sighed, "How annoying. Who else is going to show up and be a bothersome pest? My brother Cooler, perhaps? Father himself?"
"Shut up." Tomae's eyes narrowed. "I'm not serving you anymore."
"I gathered as much. Still, such a fiesty attitude..." Freeza lifted his hand, not even putting Vegeta down. "However...I need only a finger to defeat you two."
"W...WATCH OUT!" cried Gohan suddenly, voice cracking, but the light at Freeza's fingertips was already forming.
Tomae knew going into this he'd die. He knew he'd never be able to actually help, but it felt wrong to run. But he knew he would die, and knew there was no hope to even avoid this shot...Jeice knew all this as well.
So he took matters into his own hands.
Pushing Tomae out of the way with barely enough time to dodge himself, Jeice leapt up to the sky. Tomae gasped, hitting the ground with a thud, and looked up at where the wounded warrior was now flying. "J-Jeice...!"
Jeice grinned. Moving his hand from his side, he lifted it into the air instead. "Oi! You're messin' with a member of the Ginyu Force, mate!"
Freeza looked ever so slightly stunned, but it quickly faded to frustration. Throwing Vegeta's limp and barely conscious body to the size, he turned to look up as well. "Ex-Ginyu...But I see you still have some spunk...I'll have to rip it out of you, along with the rest of your hopes and dreams!"
Jeice's hand began to glow. A large ball of energy was forming. "CRUUUUSSHEEEERRRRRRRRRR........................." He yelled, "BAAAAAAALL!!!" And with that, he threw it at Freeza.
Piccolo grabbed Gohan and Krillin and ducked out of the way as it headed towards the platform. As it neared him, the space tyrant gazed blankly and...smacked it to the side with a flick of the wrist.
It flew far, blowing up a nearby island instead.
Tomae didn't waste a moment, though. He managed, somehow, to appear next to Freeza, and swung his leg. The tyrant grabbed the Saiyan's ankle and tossed him to the ground. "Honestly, how many of you are going to die before you realize you don't have a prayer?" Freeza growled.
And he kicked Tomae, whose wind was immediately knocked out of him. "T-Tomae!" came Jeice's voice.
"You know, Jeice..." Freeza murmured, "I never understood your appeal towards this rotten ape...I tolerated him for you, but...Really, what good has he ever been?"
"St-stop...." Teary, Tomae tried to get up, but Freeza's clawed feet slammed into his chest and kept him still.
"What good has ANY of these monkeys been, in fact?" Freeza's eyes narrowed, "They've been nothing but disgusting beasts..."
Jeice trembled above. "L-Lord Freeza...! St-stop...Stop, you're hurting him!"
"You see now? Nothing ever comes of making me angry...Nothing ever comes of playing the hero. Why don't you come down and help take care of the smaller pests, Jeice? Perhaps I'll kill you less painfully, if you choose to use your final moments to help me."
Jeice stared. Jeice's fists clenched, but his wound had lost a lot of blood and he was scared. Goddamn, was he scared...Tears began to form in his eyes, and he lowered himself from the sky slowly. "I said to stop, you bloody bastard..."
"What a shame...You were always spoken so highly of by Captain Ginyu..."
Captain Ginyu. Jeice's hands fell to his sides. Guldo. Recoome...Even Burter had given his life to serve Freeza. Burter, his best friend, was probably rolling in whatever grave he had, at Jeice's mutinous actions...
....Burter, who'd died before Jeice's very eyes.
Was he going to let Tomae suffer the same fate as his best friend? Tomae, his own boyfriend.
No.
Without another thought, Jeice attacked. He had no form, he had no patience, so he was bound to lose even with this. But he refused to give up. He punched and punched at Freeza's ugly mug like there was no tomorrow.
He fought valiantly, and while he didn't land a hit, he distracted Freeza long enough for Tomae to get a break. For Tomae to catch a breather.
For Tomae to stand.
"H-hey, you shouldn't push yourself..." began Gohan, who rushed over to show sympathy for the Saiyan, but Tomae ignored him, and used a jump to propel off of the Namekian grass. "A-ah...W-wait!"
"Let him go, Gohan...." Piccolo said quietly, grabbing the boy's arm and looking up at the fight. "...They're doing this for reasons that have nothing to do with us. If that involves throwing their lives away, then we can't stop them."
"Still, it's...It's insane...." Krillin muttered, "But....we're out of time, and out of options."
They really could only hope for Goku to arrive at this point, but if these ex-Freeza soldiers wanted to do their part to give them some extra life...Guess they could only let that happen.

5.5 thoughts
msq
alisae meeting estinien went exactly as expected and i loved it. i love my angry daughter and melodramatic dragon fren. part of me has Concerns raha’s fanboy mode is a flanderisation but then i think back to CT and it’s like. no, he was always like that.
tiamat ;_; i love her sm.
dungeon was nice. the remix of smoulder is appreciated. i wish we could see areas like pagalthan and xelphatol outside of fucking dungeons but there we go. i will confess to being surprised that they killed LB in a dungeon, but i guess og bahamut was a raid boss already. i really need to finish coils sometime
this said the second boss is basically a reskin/remix of the nixie in matoya’s relict and i’m just. ???
(i do appreciate that the gear isn’t just a reskin though. also the sandals have toes. toes!)
arenvald and fordola shenanigans again went 100% as expected. i keep finding myself liking fordola (as a character) more than i ever expected to.
i like that the writing is questioning the assumptions everyone has about hydaelyn, but i have. bioware-created Concerns about where sqex are going with this. (on the flip side though it’s heading in exactly the sort of direction for the wol’s character that is my jam so like. conflicted, i feel.)
i like that krile is doing things in the story. i like less that she’s being shunted off screen in order to do them.
can we go to sharlayan please. i’ve been wanting to give alphy and alisae’s parents a swirly ever since they let a pair of sheltered sixteen year olds go on a cross world tantrum back in arr.
the final cutscene with zenos made me laugh hard. no you absolute weenies they’re not going to reveal the new job until the fanfest. (apparently someone viewed the cutscene zoomed out using 3rd party tools and he picks up Fucking Nothing)

i know it’s A Gundam Reference but all this ‘g weapon’ shit has me dying from second and third hand embarassment
also disappointed i didn’t get to fly it this time around. stupid gaius stealing my stupid robot.
diamond normal is fairly straightforward. one day i will put my big fruit pants on and start running EX anything while it’s vaguely current.
mostly no surprises in the storyline finale but i am glad allie lived. i’m a little sad we didnt get to put down valens himself, and half expected alphonse to go eva unit 01 on us. instead he did an eva unit 02, which is, you know, understandable

i. can’t say i’m surprised at all with the way the storyline wrapped up? it sucks for konogg he’ll never get real closure on his sister (what ever happened to anogg 1.0 anyway??) and it’s unsurprising given how much the story glosses over how the machines even got to the First given as crossover content tends to be [shrug emoji] about such things anyway
enjoyable raid itself though i think. i love the music. though i’m still going WHY at the fact the FF theme is in the fucking final boss music from a crossover raid. it slaps though.
for glam purposes at least, the gear looks nice. just gotta wait until the lockout is removed so it can be farmed.
misc
who’s got two thumbs and sold their exarchic weapon to the vendor before they had enough tomes to buy the rain? this idiot.
then i remembered that i’d been working on the bozja weapon for my main job (rdm) anyway so just went ‘fuck it’. i will prob buy a different augmented weapon once i get the tomes, and sell it on the MB.
who’s got two thumbs, can’t read, and thought the bozja update was today also? ah well.
