hi! i really love your designs, the colours are always really well done anf the characters are full of life.. and i love how your rewrites give the characters complexity and make them really interesting to me, much more so than canon(though i am a fan of some ideas introduced there, they don’t quite turn out in ways that make sense to me)! i’ve been wondering a few things about helluva troupe for a while however and hopefully the answers aren’t spoilers, lol.. in HT, what is Fizz’s involvement with the ‘troupe’ and what is stolas’s involvement too.? i wish you much luck on your work as it is lovely to see! (also apologies for my silly username)
Thank You!
Thank you so much that means a lot!! waaAahee! It makes me happy to see people interested 🥺👉👈
With Fizz it's,,, a bit Fuzzy, because hilariously he's the whole reason I made this AU among other things But I ended up makinh him a sorta side character antag again because while originally he was going to be part of the main crew from the start of HT's storyline, as I went along in trying to write I saw some cool hcs about his star clown days and so I thought to use the more canonized view- mostly in that he's a star clown during the events of HT instead of dropping the show life to join Blitz in I.M.P. That previous version is why you see him in the I.M.P references- and hinty hoo that ol version isnt completely null and voice to the current HT
ANYWAY so yeah- While Fizz isn't as much a main character as he was he still has a great deal of importance to the story and themes I want to express in HT. When it comes to him and the Troupe itself, I could best describe him as one of the biggest foils or parallels to the main cast. Just,, he's this golden image that represents their every want fulfilled. For Blitz especially given their thick history heehooo. (That's not to say this 'golden image' is entirely as it seems btw...)
Now it sounds much like canon I know but I like to think I'm taking a different direction with it- It's not really just the "haha you suck with relationships, fuck, shit, pénis im doing better look at my good relationship" nonsense cuz for 1. Fizzarozzie does nOT exist anymore- its Mamzie now 😊 (Mammon + Ozzie) and 2. The themes with Fizz and really most of HT has less to do with the melodramatic romance "will they wont they" of Stolitz (which isnt really a thing either) and more the struggle impoverished and oppressed peoples experience with success, failure, identity, community, family, status, history, trauma, etccc. Specifically, because I am an indigenous person from Canada, a lot of the themes are drawn from my own experiences, knowledge and history as an indigenous person. Though with execution, creative liberties were taken to make the fact they're in Hell clear btww-
That very likely did nOT answer jour question but i amn,,,stoopi 😭😭😭 simpler answer i suppose maybe by chance would be Fizz is an eventual antagonist to I.M.P. Specifics and how it happens and wheNNN?? Im still not sure yet if im honest- been really busy the last year or so and so Ive hadnt had any time or energy to work as much on writing all the things! ;u; thats probs disappointing to hear cuz plaNNing and all is important if you're gonna post story stuff at all,,, but !! I do hope to work more on the story this year so i can wrap up all these floating ideas into a Concrete line of stuff cuz truly all im missing is the middle pieces. Maybe an HT comic will be real this/or next year! 👀🏃
ANYHOOT ONTO STOLAS! i rambled a bit too much about Fizz cuz im still figuring him out- Stolas might be a bit shorter cuz his role is sweet and simplisticerr.
So, Stolas is an antagonist. He and Blitz still have an exchange sort of deal, but the deal is Blitz gets to keep the grimoire for I.M.P if he handles Stolas' "errands" and gives it back on the full moon with ofc none of the uh,,hawny stuff, obv. Blitz kinda keeps this deal under wraps from the rest of I.M.P because for him, it hurts his pride to admit he's in need of some big guy's help. And Stolas is somewhat aware of this. And so, Stolas is this looming, cruel threat that Blitz carries the burden of cuz he's stubborn as fuck whilst the rest of I.M.P remain ignorant.
Some bonus notes that dont really have to do with Stolas involvement with imp but jus how stuff ive changed with his canon influence the story diff than canon; so, Stella isnt a thing anymore. In general the Goetia work much differently- majority of the Goetia being the children of Ozzie instead of Paimon (who is Stolas' sibling now btw too) and the Goetia being thousands of years old instead of fucking 30- Also! While Via is existant she is but a baby instead of a moody teen,, ties heavily with Stolas' motives and how he operates as a character, royal, and Goetian and felt it would work better with how HT Stolas is as a character than it would otherwise.
Also no worries about the username! I dont like canon stolas much either lol,,;
I apologize if this didnt answer much 😭 feel free to let me know if you wanna hear about somn else gwahgh 🏃

Yoooooo some corruption (sorta?) kink thoughts here
Sometimes I wanna be like the “hell ya let’s have some kinky smex right here, right now in the kitchen :)” and other time I’m like “pls no, am virgin. Ring first, then sex”. Uuuuh I might be too into corruption kink (not sure if that’s what it’s called but like you know, the big bad wolf yandere taking advantage of the sweet smoll red ridding hood darling) where the yandere tryna get some but the darling with teary eyes are underneath em and looking up at em and whimpering something along the lines of “I only want to do it after we get married” or something like that. I feel like ZhongLi is the only one who’s going to honor it because he likes the thought of marrying them corrupting them. Venti def going to be the type who just hears it and forget about sex because his brain go like brr they said they wanna do it AFTER they get married...THEY WANNA MARRY ME!!! Proposes right then and there. Diluc prob would reluctantly stop his advances and buy em a ring the very next day while scheduling their wedding in three days alwhile talking about their wedding plans that same day darling whimpered about marriage while darling sucks him off. Then we have Kaeya and Childe who would 50/50 agree to the terms of marrying then sex but 100% be a whiny manchild. I can see Childe being more likely to honor darlings wishes but forced em to set sail back to his hometown the very next day. Kaeya is, I mean, I don’t really see him as the type to think about marriage? Hell definitely want it but prob want it more for owning his darling rather than domesticating(?)/feminizing his darkening into a submissive housewife/lover. For Xiao, I think you’d need to explain to him what the romanticness(?) behind sex after marriage and explain how some humans love it for him to not shove his big pp inside you lol. For Razor, lol marriage what that, his pp hard. Human marriage take too long, sex now lol. But yeah, yandere like Diluc and Childe if they did reluctantly stop themself and withhold themself for a few days and wait till marriage are def going to be 10x rougher on sex with their darling, even if it was their darling’s first time, bc they waited for a few days too long lol
Well I'm going for soft yan here since hard yans don't exactly... care about consent
Oh yes I feel like Zhongli would almost kinda... fetishize marriage? It IS a contract after all, he views it as an ownership thing. He has the patience to wait and the anticipation and buildup of the whole process -- it's a turn on in its own way, it's part of the process of what makes the sexual experience so rich and honestly, makes it better. He definitely has the most self control out of the bunch, too. Venti ya would just... ascend tbh. He wouldn't have quite the sexualization of the whole process but he'd absolutely want the symbolization of love factor.
Kaeya and Diluc both see it as an opportunity, more or less. Like, oh, a legal contract to bind you to them? Why would they complain about that? Diluc's more likely to actually wait (although he pulls strings to ensure you essentially get married within 24 hours), Kaeya whines and basically pulls the "well we'll get the contract done anyway, might as well go ahead and just-" yeah, he's kinda like that. And yeah, Childe kinda ships you back with him, probably can get married faster in his home since he's a citizen, but would also be kinda pushy.
Im dying imagining trying to explain the concept of marriage to Razor like... imagine you go your whole life observing these animals whose way of life is meeting for .5 seconds, fucking immediately, and then spending the rest of your life together. Also keeping in mind that your life consists of hunting, sleeping, walking around etc so sex is like the best and most entertaining thing in your world. Now someone comes along and is like no no you have to get all these pieces of paper signed and have this big ceremony! Poor boy is just like no that's the dumbest thing he's ever heard of why would you intentionally put off sex?? Why do you humans hate yourselves so much?? Why do these things to yourself poor bb does not understand
Also imagine him thinking you're referring to like. A physical impossibility when you say "can't". Like poor baby thinks, hah, for once he gets to be the smarter one that knows more because you're all "we can't have sex until this paper is signed!" But he's just, no no, you can, it's possible, here he can prove it--
Xiao is similar like listen... He canonically displays disdain for human conventions of normalcy and custom plus his understanding of sexuality is literally just pp --> vageen so he just huffs and gets irritated. His logic is something along the lines of, marriage was a convention designed to ensure loyalty and caretaking on the male end so like? Do you not get that you already have those things? Like do you think you're gonna have opportunities for any sort of disloyalty locked away or that he'd ever do the same thing considering he's the most asocial little bastard? Probably gets all pouty in his own way.

Some asks!
1. Thank you! honestly a lot of the reason why ive produced so much for this show is because everybody is really involved and supportive. I’d love to develop my own show but also ayyyyyy ignio strafi my main man hmu whenever you wanna reboot the sparkly babes. @iamanemotionaltimebomb 2. Thank you!!! i love giving characters defining traits, and even though i understand it makes animation harder/more time consuming i think it really adds to the show. 3. i didn’t do anything to them?? i think tumblr was like.... glitching out with some of my posts tho cus i would look for stuff i had saved on my personal blog and not be able to find things i knew should be there so it might be that. I’ll go back in my archive and make sure its tagged appropriately tho  4. personally i think the fairy forms top off power wise at enchatix, and then its just changing uniforms for different jobs. like you wouldn’t wear a lab coat to fight a fire and you wouldn’t wear a fire suit to mix chemicals 5. So if the island is big or has actual seasons(ex. Britain, Japan, fuckin Australia/New Zealand technically) they would just be either Silva or Mare Lynpheans. but i could see small tropical islands having their own subset yeah, @just-kairi
Tumblr media
6. Not a bother at all! I’m planning on doing a full villains set as the next thing, im glad people are looking forward to it ^-^ 7. I’m gonna be doing the pixies for sure! I haven’t watched pop pixie at all, but for a while there I thought pixies were all female and elves were a separate all male species lol, i might just do that since the pixies are supposed to reproduce asexually(i heard??). @weirdghostly (i can’t tag u???) 8. yes! when i did believix redesigns i didn’t really think about it but I’m planning on revisiting them and adding sophix/lovix and the alternate wings.  9.  I don’t actually.... I’m already running one webcomic and i’m not much of a writer lol so i haven’t really mushed everything together for my winx ideas. I’ll probably do more short comics for it in the future tho!  10. omfg yes i love those designs when i was gathering references for sirenix it was sooooo hard to to use those because theyre so beautiful. Yeah it would prob have to be a commission just cus i’m swamped with other things rn :/ @hug-all-platelets 11. i mean ya ur right they just never should have killed nabu(is he officially dead or pulling a sleeping beauty on all of us?). As much as I would have loooooooved aisha to remain single because how awesome would that be, it would be a little weird to have her be the one winx member to not be involved romantically, because i mean. there is that stereotype/meme of “strong independent black woman who don’t need no man”(closely related to the “sassy black woman” stereotype) which is Problematic with a capital P, but regardless, nex and roy showed up. i honestly think the love triangle was resolved pretty quickly considering how long rainbow likes to drag relationship drama on? but yeah poly aisha/nex/roy would have also been cool. I think the reason she chose nex is because he “proved” himself, he ultimately had more perseverance and passion than roy, which is something i think aisha would specifically look for. shes strong physically and personality wise, she would want to be with people who can keep up.  12. Both! Riven is the tallest specialist, and musa is the shortest winx. i am....... very partial to height difference....... For their relationship, i think they wouldn’t even start dating until like season 3 era at the earliest.(this is partially why season 4 is so rough for them, its a new relationship) a lot of their issues would stem from their attachment issues and how they respond to insecurity. Riven’s mom left him, just fucking dropped out of his life while he was a young kid, leaving him with (in my universe) an emotionally distant and dismissive father he could never please. So Riven responds by pushing people away before they can reject him, becoming controlling, or dismissing them in anger and pretending not to care about their opinion. Musa’s mother was taken away from her by illness.  I think it happened in musa’s early teens, since it’s clearly still a tender subject in the first season. A parents death is painful no matter the circumstance, but a sickness that slowly steals the person you love away from you must be incredibly painful. As a result, Musa experience a lot of anxiety about the people she loves leaving her(whether by their choice or not), and becomes clingy, emotionally demanding, and sensitive. When Riven pushes her away Musa tries to push her way back to him, when Musa wants Riven to act certain way or do something (even if its irrational and she is at fault) Riven dismisses her needs because it means he can keep himself safe from failure. They have similar problems but the way they respond to it ends up escalating every issue. They do eventually grow and become vulnerable with each other. I think that riven still left at the end of season 6, but they didn’t exactly break up, they both recognized that Riven needed some time away from the specialists to work on his own shit and gain confidence in his own skills, so it turned into a low key long distance thing. (if he hadn’t come back in season 8  they would just decide to break it off but lol he’s back) anyways..... enjoy this essay lol

Okay, y’all gave your approval, so I’m doing a partial liveblog of King of the Castle. Can’t get all of the episode right now, but I’m gonna do what I can and then redo the episode for a proper liveblog when it comes out in the states and I can, ya know, watch all of it.
This one won’t be rated, because I’m missing like 10% of the episode and so can’t judge fairly.
As someone who was once a young girl, it is incredibly nostalgic watching Gwen daydream about being crowned Queen of England. That is just how it be with some girls. Also Ben is just not having shit.
Lady Wilhelmina Warrick of Castle Bishopbrooke, nickname Willy. Huh. And apparently a cousin of some sort.
Gwen is going to die of joy for she is related to a Lady. Ben is going to die of horror for they’re going to a haunted castle. Sounds about accurate.
Ben running for the haunted castle for the sake of proving it’s haunted.
Kevin, lurking on either a roof or a balcony, waiting for a certain small Tennyson. Do we ever get an episode where he appears just, dive-tackling Ben from offscreen? I feel like we need that in our lives.
Gwen disappointed that the castle is in shit shape. I’d say just rough but, part of the floor is missing, including the area of rug that should be hiding it. Willy needs to step up her game, pick up a hammer or something. It’s called DIY.
Willy’s got some upper body strength. Also refers to Max as Cousin Maxie, so I have to assume the two are actually somewhat close. How close of a relation is it, I wonder?
Gwen curtseys and Ben tries to copy her but doesn’t have the balance for it. This is why we practice, Ben.
Gwen wanting to know everything about being a noble.
“There’s always work to be done” that’s putting it mildly.
The only thing here out to get you Ben is Kevin. Although I wouldn’t put it past him to be behind that, though I do think Gwen is right about it just being how bad of shape the building is in.
I’m fairly certain Willy’s about to put Max to work helping clean shit up (you brought it on yourself Max) while the kids escape, but given we lose some bits right here this is just an assumption. We jump from Max offering directly to Ben and Gwen wandering around.
Ben goes Heatblast to light a load of torches to keep ghosts at bay, and immediately the wind comes through and blows them all out again. And Heatblast himself while it’s at it.
More Kevin, sneaking about the halls. Child are you honestly behind this? I wouldn’t be surprised, you totally would, I just wanna know how. Also the fucking chord when he appears, it’s not Norman Bates fucking chill.
Ben is too scared of ghosts to wander around without his cousin.
Willy drinking tea while Max mops up and mice run about. I am not shocked.
Well Gwen, this is what happens when you go someplace labelled ‘haunted’. They tend to be very dusty and also a lot less elegant than the not-so-haunted castles. Besides, Willy’s a Lady not the Queen.
The Warrick family crest is a bear playing a harp like it’s a fucking electric guitar. Have you ever had that moment where you wonder where a character gets it and then the show just, answers you in the most unexpected way?
And Ben lights the tapestry on fire because an end curled up when Gwen went to look at it and so it is clearly evil and possessed. Gwen leaves, Ben panics, and the tapestry crumbles to ash after he throws it out a window. You know Kevin is behind one of those bookshelves going ‘this is why I bully him’.
Ben does not like being alone in a haunted castle.
Ben: “It’s clear what happened here- Gwen was eaten by a ghost, and you’re next if you aren’t careful! It’s too late for Gwen, but you have lots of options!” Followed by an imagine spot depicting him not being able to do shit to defend himself against a ghost with Gwen clearly visibly in it’s belly. 10-yos everybody.
I just love that as the imagine spot goes on eaten!Gwen gets more and more tired of the whole situation, ending with her kicking back and reading a book inside the ghost. He doesn’t half know his cousin, does he?
Also confirmation Ben knows he can’t go Wildvine or Overflow.
Gwen is very good at this ghost prank thing, though Ben does make it very easy. And the reveal the ghost is Gwen is where we leave off on this portion. Only one more clip to go and that seems to cover most of the rest of Kevin’s existence in this episode.
(Random, did y’all know CN Aus has the whole of Escape from Aggregor up on youtube? I’m not gonna liveblog it because I already did a few years back, but in case y’all wanna watch it, it’s there.)
We begin this next section with a Ben and a Gwen and a hedgemaze.
Ben has been eaten by the hedgemaze, it’s Rose Red all over again.
And Ben is panicking, not helped by Kevin taking full advantage of his fear of ghosts to be all eerie voice from out of sight. Because this child.
“Gwen is that you again?” Ben asks of the very Kevin voice. Like seriously, this kid isn’t even trying to hide it’s him. It’s wonderful.
Oh look, it’s, Thornblade I think? Kev’s Wildvine equivalent? Taking full advantage of location. I’m going to assume Kevin watches a lot of horror movies because he’s playing it well so far.
Dodging blows being thrown at you from the hedges right up until Thornblade forms himself out of vines in front of you while you weren’t looking.
Nobody would’ve expected Ben to be happy to see Kevin, but Kevin he can at least fight, unlike a ghost.
I admit, the way that was going, I was expecting the argument to devolve into yeah-huhs and nuh-uhs. Don’t know whether I’m sad or not that it didn’t. Although Ben claiming he’s fought houseplants badder than Thornblade is both hilarious and stupid given he is in Thornblade’s clutches at the time.
Ben goes Four Arms, surprising Kevin which I wasn’t expecting. But then Ben gets to be surprised when he knocks Kev over a hedge and it look like he times out, only for sudden- Undertow was it? Eh, I’ll probs find out in a second.
Ooo, nice use of the water powers, focusing on the ground so he can trap Ben in mud.
Okay, now Kevin is just showing off. ‘Look at what I’ve got and can do’. Seriously, Kev, 1) how did you get these aliens, and 2) stick with a shape child. What did you just add this feature? Oh my gods that’s exactly what’s happening isn’t it? You added the switching feature like, yesterday, and are having too much fun testing it out.
Okay, can I just say I really love Dark Matter’s design? Just, we went from a smol frog with no physical capabilities to speak of to balance out the brains, to an actual fucking horror movie monster with brawn as well. And I mean it, look at Dark Matter and how Kevin moves as him, that wouldn’t be out of place in something like Alien or Pumpkinhead.
Seriously, Dark Matter just, kicks ass. Never was big on Grey Matter but this is a frog I can stan.
Seriously those movements are just, exquisite. Also the crystal power? I don’t know what the fuck that red crystal he caused to overtake Ben is or how he managed it as Dark Matter, but it’s cool at fits the horror movie aesthetic.
Trying getting Kevin to monologue for those last few seconds before his watch times out. Not that it works, but it was a valiant attempt.
Not that it mattered anyway because it was literally seconds left. Also the look on Kevin’s face when he realizes he’s timed out and Ben is still Four Arms- you can hear the ‘fuckfuckfuckfuck’ going through his little head.
Exit, stage right, pursued by alien.
Ben, having timed out: Alright Kevin, it’s time to ask question and get answers, and I’m all out of answers. Kevin: This boy is a moron
(I know that’s not the line but still.)
Also immediately reminding Ben that in their normal forms he is bigger, smarter, and stronger. Which is true on all counts, given Kev is apparently a tech whiz and definitely older than Ben is.
And teasing Ben for being scared of ghosts just before they both get jumpscared by an inanimate object, the bear statue sending them both fucking bolting, complete with screams.
And Kevin tumbles through a hedge, poorly, just in time for his watch to time back in and an ominous shadow to appear over him.
Forever Knight is here and complimenting Kev. Apparently he ‘shows promise’ (on this we can agree). Kevin, meanwhile, responds to a stranger in full armor appearing out of nowhere and striking up conversation with glares and mild sass.
And while the Forever Knight is touting that old-ass ‘work with me and we shall crush our enemies’ line Kevin has walked away, scoffed at him, shut him down, and called him a nerd and a creep. I’m so proud of my child, he’s a shit but he’s so good.
Willy is gonna miss the fam, though the kids were a delight, Max was a big help.
Willy gives Gwen an antique family heirloom music box as a parting gift, because some people are cool like that. Ben gets forgiveness for all the damage he caused. And Max gets some quality tea to help him chillax after what was apparently the worst day of cleaning ever to look at him.
And we end on Willy having just gotten some contractors in to patch the place up. Good on her. There’s more to the episode but, well. Bits & pieces.

okay so I meant to send this on anon and I think I might have accidentally done so off but then I tried to cancel it and idk if it worked?? anyways! the point is, I’m the anon who doesn’t have dropout rn so! what’s the tea on the new ep? what did I miss? :)
**spoilers for arcade ambush**
Now, I know I use the word wild a lot, but don’t let that take away from the fact that this episode was truly wild.
Biz had such an interesting power set. He has the wings so he can fly, he has all the weird mesmerization type powers (I was picturing that old bager, badger, badger, mushroom video when he was multiplying himself to trip up Fig). Fighting him is like being stuck in Toon Town but in the worst possible way. Then there were the game cabinets sucking people into them and the ghosts possessing people and forcing them to flee. It was really a brutal fight.
(Sidenote, are we to believe that the ghosts that he raised were nerds who died in arcade? Morbid, if true. Also it would have to be a different arcade since that one was new.)
Anyway, this def was an ep full of frustration. They were constantly getting frightened and forced to run or trapped in games or whatever. It’s a good think Ally casted Guardian of Faith before the fight because they were, once again, a life saver. I was a little surprised the arcade game fights were one and done Box of Doom rolls but I guess there was a lot going on.
“Well I’ll just shoot him.” Riz getting a nat 1 trying to shoot Biz point blank was so painful. 
Riz: Hey guys, Biz is a bad guy./Adaine: Yeah, no duh! 
Everyone making the most mediocre rolls to check out the prizes in the prize cabinet. And Brennan just getting more and more like, “Come on y’all.” I wanted someone to pick up the sneakers. I felt like they were gonna be some kind of stealth bonus item.
Gorgug got a nat 20 charisma! My boy!
Oh, side note, they updated Adaine’s mini with her boss new jacket which is super dope.
Fig and Kristen actively antagonizing the corn god who’s saving their ass.
“Fucking nerd.” Adaine, who has been pretty savage the past few episodes.
Fabian who has never been denied anything in his life looking at the million credit sword: I’d like it.
Trevon
Everyone being furious at Riz being stuck in the game but also impressed by the design of the set.
Gorgug calling his parents mid-fight! Which seems wild but actually is the SMARTEST THING ANY OF THESE LITERAL CHILDREN HAVE EVER DONE.
I feel like Brennan def read up on his philosophy quotes after the last fight because he was back in business this ep.
Cleric is an underrated class y’all. Ally is really rocking it.
What a bad time for Adaine to finally fail a panic attack roll. She’s had a really long run without them though.
I love that Lou always curses as Fabian by saying, “Christ,” completely ignoring that doesn’t make sense in this world, but like. That is what Fabian would say, you know?
Fabian getting stuck in DDR instead of Punch Out is personally offensive to him.
“Hell yeah I take a disengage”
Sidenote: Divination is a really cool ability.
Ugh, Riz. What a terrible time to fail an investigate check. HE GOT PALIMSESTED.
Aww at Lou giving Murph the, “Hang in there, buddy,” shoulder rub after that happened. 
Gorgug getting trapped in whack a gnome is MESSED UP. Also, the fact that whack a gnome is a game that exists in a world where gnomes also exist is SUPER MESSED UP.
Adaine: Fuck, I’m fucked! 
PROTECT YOUR WIZARD BETTER.
Fabian having to have a dance off in the middle of the fight.
The girls getting downloaded periodically throughout the fight was so freaking ominous. 
“I’m under the influence of two ghosts.”
Fabian and Adaine both terrified and running into each other and yelling like freaking Scooby Doo.
OK, while Fig was possessed, Brennan made her read a card that said “Wow. A lot of strong feelings to process here.” And I am told (but can’t confirm) that that’s a line that was said in ep 1? Maybe by the guidance counselor? And then it’s not resolved in this episode. So that seems important.
Emily upon hearing that Riz is stuck in the crystal: Piss in it.
“Do you have any clue about how to get out of here, I mean, clearly you don’t.”
What would Fabian do without that bike, man?
I love that Emily uses Kristen’s full name for no apparent reason half the time.
Kristen channeling the power of friendship to turn undead.
Gorgug is a bottomless pit of HP.
Ally: Is it good to get in the game?/Literally everyone else: NO.
“A tasty walk?”
The philosophers going, “Verily,” to Fig’s base playing and then her moonwalking away.
Siobhan immediately irl cringing at being called a lovely lady by Biz.
HELLISH REBUKE. HELL YEAH FIG. HELL YEAH EMILY.
Penny’s scene with Riz in the palimpsest was like legitimately touching. 
But again, Murph gets the nat 20 at the most story appropriate time! Just like last week.
OK, so the girls’ downloads are getting sent to the AV room in Aguefort. Not necessarily suspicious considering that Biz is involved, but interesting to note.
Gorgug pulling an Odysseus and cranking his tunes to ignore the games. 
Also his, “Sup nerd?” to Biz.
Kristen absolutely crushed this fight y’all. She basically got out without a scratch. 
Siobhan saying sick like Brennan is hilarious to me.
Gorgug being so mad at Biz’s pronunciation of meme.
“Hot topic nerds hate AV club nerds.”
Nothing bothers Emily more than not being able to take an action.
The gang actively mocking and taping Biz as he tries to mesmerize them.
Aww man Murph failing that roll before Penny was downloaded. Heartbreaking. 
Everyone visibly recoiling every time Biz talked.
Zac reminding Brennan about advantage and then him picking up every dice he owns. “LIE NEXT TIME DUDE!” He has a cool ass shock of white hair now though. Like, not good but kinda rad.
I feel like Ally has gotten really comfortable with the game mechanics as we’ve gone on. 
Kristen hugging Gorgug to protect him is such an adorable image. 
“I’m still full health because God exists!”
Shoutout to the SFX guys. They were especially on point this ep.
“Can I just use mage hand to plug the machine out?”
Kristen as Fig getting is her ass kicked by the doppelganger Figs: KISS ONE OF THEM.
The guardian that killed Biz throwing down his cig like a true French philosopher. 
FABIAN. 
Kristen was the MVP of the fight but Fabian was the MVP of the episode y’all. Like I said, all that promo yelling was either gonna be a TPK or the raddest thing ever and it was option 2! 
Shoutout to Siobahn for getting Lou that advantage roll because that saved his ass.
Lou just pretending to get up and leave because game over y’all.
Brennan starting to just narrate assuming failure. 
Zac being like, “Well at least try.”
Lou doing them 1 by 1 for the drama of it all, just like Fabian would want it.
Getting a ten first, exactly half of what he needed.
Then the absolute CHAOS that erupted from the table at the 20. By this point, I was pretty sure he was gonna get it because that shot from the trailer hadn’t happened yet and it was near the end of the episode but DAMN it was satisfying. Moments like this are what MAKE RPGs.
Being showered with gold coins sounds extremely painful but that’s beside the point here. 
Fabian coming back and lying that he was fighting ghosts outside and everyone totally buying and being like thanks for having our backs man.
I love how much Fig loves her two dad situation now. 
Emily and Ally evil mischievous smiling at each other when Emily requests to kill Biz.
Everyone Else: NO.
Brennan: He’s dead, bruh.
Ally like Grinch smiles when Brennan announces that Biz is dead.
“Would she be able to casually get him out of a palimpsest?”
“I still have these handcuffs.”/”Where’d you get those?”/”Uh, nevermind.”
Every time this group has to interrogate someone they escalate all the way immediately.
 But MAN Riz was doing some serious drug cartel interrogation on Biz, shooting off fingers and stuff!
Adaine REFUSING to feel bad about bullying Biz (she’s right and she should say it).
“If I were to have a morsel such as yourself stuck in a palimpsest–” IMMEDIATELY slapped by every party member. Bro, you GOTTA stop perving on Adaine IN FRONT OF HER.
Brennan full on RPing unconsious Biz.
“I’m not a bad guy.”/”YES YOU ARE!”
“Fucking Aelwen again!” Same, girl.
OK, so Biz has false memories of coming up with this idea, but what does that mean exactly? Was he manipulated Inception style or actually forced? Because I come up with bad ideas every day. Doesn’t mean I act on them.
“Blow your fuking nose!”
“You see his dick glows for a second.”
Nice of Adaine to ask for permission to do her brain jitsu, even though she didn’t have to and she had all the extenuating circumstances in the world to just break in.
Biz speaking to Penelope on the regular. Hmm.
Siobhan/Adane’s look when Biz says, “I’m cool too.”
So his memory was cut out the day before the Hudol party. Interesting. 
Adaine getting a clear threat on her family’s life: THEY CAN BURN MY FUCKING HOUSE DOWN I DON’T GIVE A SHIT.
AND THEN IT ENDS THERE
So two things:
1) Siobhan keeps getting KILLER end lines.
2) I threw a lot of plot info at the bottom without analyzing it because I’m going to look at that and the promo in another post (prob tomorrow) so stay tuned!

Jane Eyre - 1934 - 4/5
Vodka-less and tired and very cold, we begin our journey to the very first talkie version of Jane Eyre.

I wish I had vodka. this is so sad. wait i have a rokerdelig brb. depression strikes syet again - i drank it earlier. alright lets get started in the 30s whoop. wow audio quality 10/10 lolol. opening with john reed hunting her down and she's blonde oh no she's been found.  holy fuck he's throwing shit at her - SLAP BITCH GET HIM. nooooooooNOOOO why is it errored. okay fixed. aunt mary? oh damn she collapsed cause he pitched that cup at her what an ass - bessie is reading to her naw. she's cut out of a lot of them and never shown so kind at the time she's actually. oh shit. ahaha 'they're bad and i hate them.'

Jane's helping clean the chandelier? and Adele is helping as well, that's cool. wtf this kids a moron getting herself headdown stuck in a vase and JAne smashes that shit and snaps at Rochester's amused quip at breaking his shit and blanche laughs and Jane turns on her lol what a savage and storms off. dancing around her room to the sound of the music downstairs that's nice and cute I'd do the same thing ahaha. she's all petulant cause brought blanche who hasn't been introduced properly? is she gonna put her fancy dress on? no? i hope not. damn they're in a ball room? nice. blanche has dark hair and looks much older than any other, not a bad thing just different. they call her beautiful and pretty - not even trying to pretend she's plain and simple. he's suddenly all over her staring intensely and accompanying her into the room and now they're dancing no way? no? no. governesses and landowners don't dance? she's down here without adele. he's sad she didn't dress up - she didn't want to appear as anything than what she is : a governess! at least she's proud of it. he's amused. and charmed. she thinks he's mocking her. now they're being introduced - an interesting way of doing things but rather natural compared to immediately knowing each other. Adele's sitting here with some old guy talking shit about people wow that's mean. fkn kids and this lord ingram is encouraging the hell out of her ahaha. but when she taunts him suddenly its not so funny ahaha. blanche is nice but sarcastic? it's a wedding party ooooh? adele m8 letting things slip? it's 2am and she's dreaming of him - and damn she's going straight for the curtains with that candle and its not lighting? then we see an altogether put together lady return with teh candle to the room upstairs before crazy cackling. god Jane is pretty. oh shit the house is on fire. nah just his room. there's no dramatic music - yes! she's the one to tear down the curtains and open the window - she's legit the most assertive main character i've seen - he's woken up and the fire is like already out. she's got this sorted all he has to do is give her a blanket 'why didn't you call for help?' 'I didn't think it necessary...' noice. here have some alcohol - from the same cup: might as well kiss. she burnt her hands and HE KISSED THEM. she's like bye. she is outies not taking any of his affections like she got better things to do, like sleep. he's in her room? he brought her a book. they're standing very close. he wants her to help redecorate the west wing - he's quite sure he's getting married in a month and that she'll have things to suit the lady's taste. eyeyeyeyyy. its a pupppppppppppyyyyy. oh it's adele's room. ohmygod so fuckin cute rochester is putting adele to bed and she's saying that she wants an aunt that she can choose and she wants it to be miss eyre and he says she wont have them and she says he has to ask her and she'll make sure she says yes. 'that'd be very nice'. cute af ma8. 'don't forget to ask her!' he grins happily. she chooses a cutain (?) and rochester jumps in 'we prefer this one!', and ol mate says 'i congratulate the lady on her discerning taste - the room will look delightful!' what a thing to say. she looks fkn miserable lolol she thinks she's choosing shit out for blanche - they're choosing out jewels now. she's fkn despondent. she flees the jewellers, he follows her and she cries and tells him she's off on holiday. he's not happy like did you think that would go well?? she's not even saying goodbye to him ahaha bye adele and fairfax nevermind here he is marching up the stairs weren't you gon' say goodbye????? tajes her bags and back upstairs to show her the room she designed? she loves it and he's happy and taking the coat off - 'it's incomplete' 'incomplete? everything seems to be in its proper place - what's missing?' 'you.' ohmygodddddddd. 'can't you see i've been falling in love with you all of this time?' rochester yaaaassss. she's not about to argue lol. whoops - 'you must never decieve me again' she chides lovingly and he laughs and shakes his head. like duuuuude i haven't forgotten this is Jane Eyre. okay he's very handsome and she's gorgeous what a lovely couple. now she's dressed in enormous dresses and jewels much more fitting now I suppose, though she did just say she didn't want to be lavished and pampered. oh what the fuck lol what 'edward my husband!' ahaha oh shit bertha just popped nicely out of nowhereeeee -'you can't separate me from my husband again! no one shall!' oh shit. oh shit. wow that was so brushed over - 1930s sensibilities??? Jane's like uhhhh what was that explain yourself he's like I love you you make me so happy i didn't want to tell you I was married to a psycho that I keep in the attic and take care of. she almost forgave him then he rushed off to help with his violent wife - what she gon do?? she waiting forever surely not she's better than that. yas ohmygod is she gone?

5:44 am, sun’s up, has a lot on my mind
is this what depression is? after a snowball of last year with social interactions and meeting with people, quitting my job.. etc i feel like i’m lost again. i have so many ideas on what to do and am slowly spit balling ideas here and there but no straight plan. i feel drained; mentally, emotionally and financially. i can’t bring myself to do anything and keep procrastinating. i may sleep at around 7 am, but i wake up in the afternoon and choose to sleep again, waking up at nearly 5 pm instead. the first thing i always think is to go to the gym, go to the gym, go to the gym-- but i can’t do it. i don’t know why. by the time i gather enough energy to actually go out, it’s already late and dark out. 
all of my three irl friends (who are really just people i’ve met online) are either busy doing other things or live far. the one that lives closest to me never plans anything or asks me to hang out with them. i always feel like i’m the one asking how their schedule is and even feel selfish for asking because they have to juggle between their work, school and organization. my mom warned me about people like them and taking advantage of me. so far, they’ve always paid me back in some way, but who knows. maybe i really am the stupid one here.
another friend lives on the other side of the city. sometimes, i can’t help but feel envious when i see them having fun with other friends and wishing i were invited to join in. at the very least, invited. i honestly don’t think i live far from city and let’s be honest, i have nothing to do anymore and am free all the time. i don’t want to be seen as “not putting any effort” into the friendship because i’m usually down to go 90% of the time, just...offer me opportunities to.
lastly, i have a friend who is socially awkward but means well. it’s hard to hold a conversation with him, but it’s also complicated in reading his body language and reading what he wants. he always talks about outdoors stuff and active things like biking or hiking which i went once and met the quota for the rest of my life. idk, just hard to chat with in general.
i know i’ve talked about this a lot far back in my personal posts, but i really wish i hadn’t gone to florida for university because everyone went their separate ways and i end up with a blank slate again. maybe that’s why friendships mean so much to me, or why i’m so great at maintaining online friendships especially. i’m used to it. plucked out of elementary school into a middle school with virtually no Asians, having to make friendships again and choosing the wrong people to befriend. i’m so sick of having to start over and over again. i’m so sick of me not being able to push myself to the point where i’ll head out in the world and make friends alone-- get the confidence to introduce myself and reinvent myself. every time i try to think positively, my brain just clouds itself with thoughts of friends leaving again. shit, idek why i’m crying. so dumb.
another issue that’s been on my mind lately is how mutuals get “inspired” by my art. recently, someone had a similar design to what i had already posted and i shouldn’t be mad at it but the fact that they were inspired by my post but didn’t say anywhere that it was, made me really upset. i really admire their art and it just hurts when someone i looked up to just.. uses elements of my work into theirs. i’ve showed my friends and asked if i was just being delusional, and most said it’s just inspired and it’s nothing too big, but... idk if i should get upset that it’s just being shrugged off or seen as nothing compared to what they’ve seen other artists do to others? my stomach is churning just typing this out, i really did not appreciate seeing it, especially since that artist and i are mutuals. i... thought they’d know better. i’m probably not gonna post any art on there for another couple of days.
anyways... yeah. maybe all of these thoughts would be solved if i just had a job so it would help occupy my mind. i’ve been trying to be more positive lately but have been just oozing out negative energy and i can feel it when i impulsively comment in groups i’m in or saying unnecessary comments.
maybe all of this would be solved if i actually went to a psychiatrist and got diagnosed to see if i really had ADD/ADHD, or went to a therapist to talk about it instead of venting out in the open here and risking friendships.
anyways. i should prob sleep.
thanks for reading up until now and good mornight. ps. dw, i’ll be fine. just need to let it out sometimes.

As Above, So Below - Part 1
Part 2 // Masterpost
Ok, first Sanders Sides fic, here we heckin go squad. Anyway let me preface this by saying that I am by no means versed in the ways of writing fics on tumblr, but here’s my best attempt? Hopefully you guys enjoy it, I’ll build more on the universe and all as it goes.
Pairing(s): None yet
Warning(s): Anxiety/Panic attacks, OCD, blood mention, swearing
Virgil hisses gently as the steaming water courses over his shaking hands, twisting and scrubbing each finger one, two, three times clockwise, one two, three times counterclockwise, pick under each nail one, two, three times, wait, that’s four, that’s wrong, too many, too many, gotta start over, gotta restart fix it get the blood out gotta get it out gotta fix it gotta get CLEAN—
    “Hey hey hey, you’re okay, you’re okay, I’ve got you,” a voice reassures him. Virgil scrubs harder, ignoring it, panting, get clean get clean get it off get clean still dirty still see it still red still there I can still SEE it—
    Arm wrap around Virgil from behind, squeezing to lift him up and away from the sink. Something is looking at him, a face, a nose, still dirty, glasses, eyes, focus, focus, still not CLEAN, a mouth, DIRTY, the mouth moves, scrub HARDER, a raised hand, whose hand, not mine, still dirty, can’t BREATHE, still not clean hand moving too fast dirty blood get it off get it off GET IT OFF—
    Smack.
    Virgil raises a trembling pink hand to his cheek. Warm. Tingling. Real.
    “Are you okay? I’m so sorry, you just wouldn’t stop, I didn’t know what to do,” the face babbles, hands flying everywhere in concern.
    “Yeah. Yeah, no, I’m good, I needed that. Thanks, Patton,” Virgil sighs, glancing down at his hands, knuckles rubbed raw and joints peeling. Patton smiles back through his cracked glasses, adjusting them with a thumb. “Wait, sorry, could you just—” Virgil starts, but Patton’s already on it, mimicking his motion with the other hand. “Thanks. Sorry again.”
    “No prob, Bob.” Patton flashes a thumbs-up. “Now that we’ve had our little bathroom break, let’s get going! The prince is supposed to be touring Exolas today, and we have to get in a good spot for the parade! He might even wave at us!” Patton sighs dreamily. “What if we already missed it? They didn’t have a scheduled start time! We’re so late, oh no, come on, we gotta go!” Patton takes Virgil by the wrist, past the water damage on his hand, and joins the throng of people moving toward the city center. His enthusiasm and forceful shoving through the crowd earn him several glares and a few curse words, but Patton doesn’t seem to notice or care. Virgil follows quietly behind, easily keeping up with his long, lanky legs, offering mumbled apologies to everyone sneering at Patton. To be fair, for a city of convicted murderers and treasonists, these people are being downright friendly.
    “Look, look, I see it, there it goes! There’s his carriage!” Patton shouts, breaking into a sprint for the edge of the street after getting through the crowd, Virgil stumbling over himself to keep up. “Hiii!” Patton yells, jumping up and down and waving his arms frantically. If his goal is to be noticed, success is already guaranteed—most of the city has a restraining order from the prince, and hangs a good ten feet back from the edge of the road, leaving a clear view of the extravagant carriage trundling toward them.
    “I’m so excited, I just can’t believe we’re actually gonna get to see the Prince Roman!” Patton squeals. Virgil grins back, idly running his hoodie string under a tarnished fingernail.
    The carriage, hulking and glimmering, finally comes close enough for Patton to reach out and touch it, which he just barely manages to refrain from doing. The red sashes shine so brightly, it looks like the sparkly white finish behind them should be tinted pink from the glistening crimson. Even the windows, covered by billowing red ribbons, seem to glow in the moonlight. Patton breathes a soft sigh of wonder, so enthralled by the carriage that he doesn’t seem to notice or care that the prince isn’t even sticking a hand out for a wave. A reasonable thing to do, given where they are in the kingdom, especially as the carriage crosses in front of Virgil, the real reason Patton’s down here. Virgil’s fault, really, that they can’t see the prince outside of the carriage. Come on, Virgil, seriously, how could you have been so stupid—
    Drip
    Drip
    Splat
    Red gleaming tiles
    Ragged breathing
    Cough
        Cough
            Silence
    Drip
    Splat
    Shining knives
    Yelling
            Quiet
        Quiet
    Drip
    Drip
    Drip splat
    Drip splat splat
    Drip splat splat pouring rushing gushing roaring blushing screaming too loud too fast too much too red oh God Virgil what did you do—
    “Virge, hey, it’s gone, look at me, hey, I’m right here,” Patton says, gripping Virgil’s wrist to ground him in reality. “We may not have gotten to see the prince, but it was still pretty cool, yeah?”
    “Yeah,” Virgil admits, grateful that Patton doesn’t push his concern. Just to be safe, Virgil taps Patton’s hand onetwothreefourfiveseveneighteleventhirteenfifteen. “Pretty cool.”
    “Woah, look!” Patton shouts suddenly, pointing up the street. Virgil whips his head around, hand flying to where the band across his waist used to be, legs spreading into a defensive stance. Not again, not this time, Virgil will protect him this time, no matter what bastard thinks they can take him.
    A dog. A poofy husky, barking and prancing in place, tail a blur.
    “A puppy!” Patton cries, running in pursuit as the dog heads up the street, toward the limits of the outlying district.
    “Hey, Patton, wait, it’s not safe past the boundary!” Virgil calls, chasing his friend. Even his long strides can barely match the fuel of excitement in Patton’s speed. “There’s no restrictions out there, we don’t even know if there’s anything alive past the limit! You don’t even know where that dog’s been, come on, please come back!” Virgil doesn’t hesitate at the district line, realizing three steps in that he’s outside of his royally designated territory. Step back, quick, get back in the area you’re allowed to be, get back, backpedal, but it’s too late.
    His body trembles.
    The dog disappears
            into
        the
            trees.
        Gone.
    Patton turns back.
    Terror.
    “Virgil, no!”
                    Shit.

the projectionist
[now playing: the projectionist & north by sleeping at last]
this has been a long time coming but i couldn’t put my words to paper screen.
when hands are tied and clocks are ticking an audience convinced: we’re leaning in  holding our breath again
i can’t wait to go back to my place. i used to say that a lot, not out of spite or rudeness but because i genuinely couldn’t wait to be back to my own calm. its hit me now how i’ll no longer have that. and i wish i could feel finally sad or even say i’m still overwhelmed and confused, but it’s this sense of somber longing i guess. longing to keep something so good and somber at the reality that i just..won’t have that soon. i began calling this place home years ago and not because of the state (please, i would’ve anywhere but this state if not for the people i’ve met here) but because it’s my home. i more than just studied here, i built a fresh start, a life here. and i feel like i won’t have that again. is this what people feel like when they move out of their home of like 14 years that they raised 4 children and adopted 3 dogs in. it’s more tough than i thought, you know. every lease i’ve signed (shaking bc commitment may i add) i’ve always know i would be here the next, even though not in the same place and living with the same people, i’d still be here. i get emotional and nostalgic thinking of my former places every time i move, and i still think back to my first. i remember moments so vividly and what the apartment looked like from every square inch. but this is different. i moved an entire state away, essentially to be alone, and i love it. i love that i don’t depend on people for the simple things and less for the difficult things. i love that i have a routine. i like that i come home and i’m alone (roommates, i know, but it’s different). i go to the grocery store alone, i’ve learned the way and i’ve walked. i like that i could walk to target and walgreens, because i’ve learned the way. i like that i don’t have to depend on driving especially, i take a few ubers but even then, i’m comfortable doing that. something new york asiya would never have been. i go for mri’s alone. i walk to uni alone and back (except when i take the bus bc gurl i would sweat). i go the airport and fly alone, something i’ve loved. don’t get me wrong i love my siblings and miss them dearly but that’s what visits are for, and we have those every few months. no one has also came to visit me except my sister twice, and would i really want them too..i don’t know. **to expand on that first time at a later date** but now my brain is like ‘come. see the life i’ve made for myself. i want to show you all i’ve built’.
we'll tell our stories on these walls. every year, measure how tall and just like a work of art we'll tell our stories on these walls
i’m not ready for so many unknowns. where will i live soon? how many jobs will i have to apply for and which ones? even simplest things like where will i do my laundry? i’ve babbled about this but i’m so incredibly grateful for the apartments that i’ve had with amenities. my sisters are always shocked to know how i live at such a small price, but student housing [chef’s kiss]. but things like central ac and in home laundry, i’ve never thought of that, but new york i’ll have to. i’ll probs have to buy my room ac and walk for laundry if i live in the city. i can’t imagine i’d get a graphic design job or something similar anywhere near where i live, so the city i shall be. how far will i have to go to the store? what may happen on the way? i’ve sometimes worried about walking to the store here, mostly when they have kidnappers on the loose, but i always feel more safe than not. i walk 20/30 mins to target and walgreens on foot on the side of the main road and i’ve taken public transportation too. story on that, i told my first roommate how to get to the store from the bus and she was terrified so i went with her and she was like ...i can’t do this alone, i’ll just call a car. would new york asiya have done that too? probably not. because florida me is more independent (idk if bold or courageous is the word) and probs just a little crazy. ubers also are way more expensive in new york, just to add on that. i’ve taken the subway and train alone in new york and have walked blocks alone around nyu and parks. i know new york well, where i live and a bit of the city, but it’s not the same. my dream would be like keeping what i have here and copy and pasting it into the state of new york. i’ve always been and felt like a new yorker here, not once a floridian. i definitely don’t even do that school pride thing, some people actually never knew where i went to college. new york is also home for me, but it’s like my baby home. sometimes i think i was genuinely crazy coming here alone and not even knowing anything about the state nor ever seeing the university. but it was the best thing. i’m always depressed, yes, and i hate people, yes. but despite all of me being a constant emotional tragedy, i really love what i have here. it’s my own. i’ve become that person that tells you directions or tells you where to get what where. and now i’ll have to go back to someone that has to ask 89 questions and gets lost 14 times. ah, but if only i was rich and i could have it all. 
so we’re leaving,  we’re leaving our shadows behind us now we’re leaving, we’re leaving it all behind for now
i can’t wait to go back to my place. i’ll no longer have a home to run off to for months when i don’t feel right. i’ve actually booked flights earlier than i and my family planned/expected just to jet sometimes. i always come back with my suitcase(s) and feel at home walking into my place. i know, inshallah, i’ll have that again in new york or wherever i am, but i HATE CHANGE. its such a big shift that i’m like..can we do baby steps?? i haven’t even been avoiding it for months, i’ve genuinely forgotten until like march when i had to decide on graduation stuff. and now i’ve opened my suitcase and feel like i’m doing my my clothes wrong by putting them in a suitcase to travel a state away and not a few streets. my 3 apartments have essentially been in between two streets, you see one, turn right and drive down, there’s another, turn left and then another left, drive down the road and there’s my current one, which is about two minutes from the first if you drive up a little down. it’s legit a square..but irrelevant. i know i can always come back to visit, but it won’t be the same. my social interaction meter already runs out in like 24 hours as it is then i need to come back home, imagine if i have to stay at someone’s house for like 3 days, lord. i don’t really know if it’s leaving that’s unsettling or going back knowing i won’t be fully alone from people that know me. 
(not so) tangent I: i always daydreamed of traveling to another state and getting a place there. my friend is thinking of coming from germany to practice dentistry here and we could find a place together. i know moving half way across the world for someone seems like a terrible idea, and i’ve lowkey done that coming here between states, but almost seven years of adoring each other’s existence makes you mushy and a little crazy. i feel like i’ll be awkward living with friends bc i’m such a loner, but who knows. the only thing getting her through these months of her final year in dentistry school is this idea and we’ve said inshallah every other week basically so inshallah, if it’s best for us. wild also that i knew her before she even started uni, way before she started dentistry school, like damn i hadn’t realized it’s been that long. 
ACTUAL tangent part II: late 2020/2021 was gonna be my planned travel year. rose was gonna have her dentistry school graduation in february so i was gonna go with more bouquets than my hands could hold. but before that i really wanted to see noor in like late december/january (shoutout to her getting her license i will never not be proud. am i smiling right now typing this? yes). i would find a way to not die in one of those taxis for this surprise, wait outside in the rain (if the sky allows) and play a neighbourhood song outside her window with my iphone that would get water damage and die, then i would sing it (i memorized the lyrics on the flight over, duh). point is, i wanted to see her first and also in one of the least hottest months bc although i would die for her, i’m not going out from heat stroke. thank you miss covid-19, i must postpone that to 2041. i would say i could move to dubai, but i love wearing black and not like..oh yeah..dying. with germany, (ironically enough where my cousin and i were gonna go, me for uni) i can barely speak english let alone learn another language. i wouldn’t subject anyone to murica so alternative options are encouraged. anyways, it’s like the virus knew i was an absolute loser. and it’s as if i have a bug to just keep hopping on planes to avoid having to deal with myself for more than twelve minutes. additional tangent, sometimes i think about how i’ve known noor for five years and like four of those years, we’ve spoken like every day..like how the hell do we do this??? we’ve exhausted every topic humanly possible and still find something new. imagine if we met and it was just [crickets] jhfghfg. i would say we share a braincell and she has it, but i feel like she has five at least. i always have the same tangent topic that literally should just be it’s own solo post..ANYWAYS. 
let the years we're here be kind, be kind let our hearts, like doors, open wide, open wide settle our bones like wood over time, over time
i’m gonna continue this later bc the tangent sent my mind in a whole different direction ,, what are thoughts

A list of rejections of famous authors was circulating on Tumblr awhile back and, because Is It Fake was in exams at the time, Is It Fake got really into debunking them. It has now been more than a year and Is It Fake is just gonna put it up and let this roll.
See, they’re all or almost all from Rotten Rejections, a book written with a marvelous disregard for facts, and they’ve therefore been in circulation for more than twenty-five years. Some of them are entirely true; some of them are totally fake; a lot of them appear only in Rotten Rejections but can’t otherwise be disproven. Many of the stories behind them are fantastic.
As a general note, although this was only really useful for Plath, if you enjoy this we recommend “Publication is Not Recommended: From the Knopf Archives,” which is available on Project MUSE if you’ve got access and is just… it’s wonderful. Blanche Knopf was a riot.
Okay, let’s get going!
TRUE
Sylvia Plath: There certainly isn’t enough genuine talent for us to take notice.
Not only true, but actually much worse than depicted here. Internal rejection only. The editor, having been told that this is contest-winner Sylvia Plath’s book, rereads, and is marginally nicer and 500% more patronizing: "maybe now that this book is out of her system she will use her talent more effectively next time.” Accurate text available here: http://cloudyskiesandcatharsis.tumblr.com/post/57272275430/sylvia-plath-originally-submitted-her-novel-the
Emily Dickinson: [Your poems] are quite as remarkable for defects as for beauties and are generally devoid of true poetical qualities.
True! Thomas Niles to Thomas Wentworth Higginson, June 10, 1890— the brackets are wrong, because he was addressing another possible publisher, to say that he thought it would be “unwise to perpetuate” the poems, oh my STARS.
Ernest Hemingway (on The Torrents of Spring): It would be extremely rotten taste, to say nothing of being horribly cruel, should we want to publish it.
True, and directly to Hemingway himself. To F Scott Fitzgerald he managed to get up an “I am less violently opposed to Torrents of Spring than anyone else who has read it” but to Hemingway himself, nope, full no.
William Faulkner: If the book had a plot and structure, we might suggest shortening and revisions, but it is so diffuse that I don’t think this would be of any use. My chief objection is that you don’t have any story to tell. And two years later: Good God, I can’t publish this!
True. Both are true. They are so true.
The first refers to Sartoris/Flags in the Dust, and the story is really funny and sad. Faulkner sent it to Horace Liveright (his publisher) with enormous confidence: he called it the “damdest best book you’ll look at this year” and tried to ensure at this early stage that the printer not screw up his punctuation (“he’s been punctuating my stuff to death; giving me gratis quotation marks and premiums of commas I dont need.”) He also insisted that the title was perfect and that he had designed his own dust jacket which he would send by separate cover. Anyway, bye, he was going on a hunting trip, he looked forward to Liveright’s glowing acceptance!
Liveright did not exactly… do that. Besides the quote above he also noted how much he hated Mosquitoes, Faulkner’s last book, and how disappointed he was w/this one and how much he really wanted Faulkner not to submit it anywhere else, in case he got blacklisted, because the book was so, so bad.
WHOOPS
(Thanks to "Flags in the Dust and the Birth of a Poetics” by Arthur F. Kinney for those quotes.)
The second is about Sanctuary, a book Faulkner hated and described as a “cheap idea…deliberately executed to make money.” The full rejection, according to Faulkner in his introduction to the book, was “Good God, I can’t publish this. We’d both be in jail.”
Edgar Allan Poe: Readers in this country have a decided and strong preference for works in which a single and connected story occupies the entire volume.
Not quite the exact quote, because “(especially fiction)” should appear after “works” and “entire” should be “whole”— but true. Harper & Brothers rejected Tales from the Folio Club in 1836 with this phrasing, the second of their three reasons for turning the stories down. The first was that a lot of them had been printed already, and the third was that the papers were too “learned and mystical,” like spooky bonbons.
http://www.eapoe.org/papers/psbbooks/pb19781c.htm
Poe responded to this by writing The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, which he privately referred to as a “very silly book”, and which is a classic of American literature.
MIXED TRUE/FALSE
Jack London: [Your book is] forbidding and depressing.
Sort of true. This rejection is from the Atlantic on the 3rd of May, 1900, it’s about “The Law of Life”, and it was a lot nicer than this, because according to Ellery Sedgwick’s "A History of the Atlantic Monthly, 1857-1909: Yankee Humanism at High Tide”, this was a period in which the Atlantic was being very ruthless and cynical about what would run, because depressing things didn’t sell commercially.
The full quote is, “We have heartily liked the vigor of it and the breadth of treatment with which you have written it. But the subject is forbidding—in fact seems to us depressing, and so the excellent craftsmanship of it has not changed our mind."
Stephen King (on Carrie): We are not interested in science fiction which deals with negative utopias. They do not sell.
True, but not about Carrie. It’s from Donald A. Wollheim at Ace Books and it’s about the Richard Bachman book The Running Man, which King had written after Carrie got rejected basically everywhere in the world. “The book, unfortunately, was not fantastic,” he later commented, which might’ve been because he wrote it over a weekend in a “low rage and simmering despair.” Thanks to the Stephen King Companion for this one.
UNATTESTED (AND, ONE SUSPECTS, NOT REAL)
Rudyard Kipling: I’m sorry Mr. Kipling, but you just don’t know how to use the English language.
Unattested. ID’d as the publisher of the San Francisco Examiner or Call writing in 1889, or is it 1899? Yeah, probs not, and Is It Fake couldn’t find it.
That said, the Call fucking hated Kipling. For example, the San Francisco Call did write about Kipling in 1899; it castigated him for his poem “the White Man’s Burden,” saying, “the white man’s burden is to set and keep his own house in order. It is not required of him to upset the brown man’s house under pretesce of reform and then whip him into subjection whenever he revolts at the treatment.” (Among other sources, can be found here.)
Another review of “The Lesson” from 1901 opens "KIPLING'S latest poem, 'The Lesson,’ must be very gratifying to Mr. Alfred Austin, for, if it does not confirm Austin's right to the office of Poet Laureate, it at least shows that Kipling has no better right.” 
Dr. Seuss: Too different from other juveniles on the market to warrant its selling.
Unattested. But he was indeed rejected 27 times for his first book. 
The Diary of Anne Frank: The girl doesn’t, it seems to me, have a special perception or feeling which would lift that book above the ‘curiosity’ level.
Unattested. The diary was rejected by 15 publishers before publication, but Is It Fake can’t find any of them who specifically said this. Here’s one from Knopf:
In the summer of 1950, Alfred A. Knopf Inc. turned down the English-language rights to a Dutch manuscript after receiving a particularly harsh reader’s report. The work was “very dull,” the reader insisted, “a dreary record of typical family bickering, petty annoyances and adolescent emotions.” Sales would be small because the main characters were neither familiar to Americans nor especially appealing. “Even if the work had come to light five years ago, when the subject was timely,” the reader wrote, “I don’t see that there would have been a chance for it.”
Joseph Heller (on Catch–22): I haven’t really the foggiest idea about what the man is trying to say… Apparently the author intends it to be funny – possibly even satire – but it is really not funny on any intellectual level … From your long publishing experience you will know that it is less disastrous to turn down a work of genius than to turn down talented mediocrities.
Unattested. Catch-22 (or as it was called at the time, Catch-18) was rejected over and over again, but this exact language is just vapor.
On the other hand, we have some of the language of acceptance, thanks to Vanity Fair:
“I … love this crazy book and very much want to do it,” Gottlieb said. Candida Donadio was delighted by his enthusiasm. Finally, someone got it! “I thought my navel would unscrew and my ass would fall off,” she often said to describe her happiness when negotiations went well with an editor.
And this incredible rejection from Evelyn Waugh:
Dear Miss Bourne:
Thank you for sending me Catch-22. I am sorry that the book fascinates you so much. It has many passages quite unsuitable to a lady’s reading
You are mistaken in calling it a novel. It is a collection of sketches—often repetitious—totally without structure.
Much of the dialogue is funny. You may quote me as saying: “This exposure of corruption, cowardice and incivility of American officers will outrage all friends of your country (such as myself) and greatly comfort your enemies.”
George Orwell (on Animal Farm): It is impossible to sell animal stories in the USA.
Unattested. It was rejected for a lot of reasons, but most of the ones I can find histories of were basically for it being anti-USSR at a time when the Russians were war allies. One publisher was basically ordered not to run it so as not to hurt the war effort, by somebody who later turned out to be a Soviet spy, like a lot of people in wartime Britain.
If you want to read T. S. Eliot rejecting Animal Farm for being too pro-Communist (not a joke) (jazz hands), you can find that here. 
Vladimir Nabokov (on Lolita): … overwhelmingly nauseating, even to an enlightened Freudian … the whole thing is an unsure cross between hideous reality and improbable fantasy. It often becomes a wild neurotic daydream … I recommend that it be buried under a stone for a thousand years.
Unattested. Could be real and internal, but it was never given to Nabokov, because Nabokov gave us a recounting of his rejections, and this wasn’t in them.
Is It Fake’s fave bit: "Some of the reactions were very amusing: one reader suggested that the firm might consider publication if I turned my Lolita into a twelve-year-old lad and had him seduced by Humbert, a farmer, in a barn, amidst gaunt and arid surroundings, all this set forth in short, strong, realistic sentences. (He acts crazy. We all act crazy, I guess. I guess God acts crazy. Etc.)"
Richard Bach (on Jonathan Livingston Seagull): will never make it as a paperback. (Over 7.25 million copies sold)
Unattested, and Is It Fake doesn’t even have anything interesting to say about it.
H.G. Wells (on The War of the Worlds): An endless nightmare. I do not believe it would “take”…I think the verdict would be ‘Oh don’t read that horrid book’. And (on The Time Machine): It is not interesting enough for the general reader and not thorough enough for the scientific reader
Unattested. It is the personal opinion of Is It Fake that they’re both false. The Time Machine was actually commissioned as a novel, so it’s hard to see why it’d receive a rejection like that, and both stories were serialized before publication, not run in book form, so the War of the Worlds one doesn’t ring true. Fun supplemental fact--War of the Worlds was immediately pirated upon release and rerun as “Fighters from Mars,” localized to New York and Boston respectively and run with a story called “Edison’s Conquest of Mars” about how Thomas Edison took over Mars and Is It Fake is not making this up.
Herman Melville (on Moby Dick): We regret to say that our united opinion is entirely against the book as we do not think it would be at all suitable for the Juvenile Market in [England]. It is very long, rather old-fashioned…
This must be false (no one ever appears to have been under the delusion that Moby-Dick was a children’s serial, and in fact he got it printed kind of as like an art book, a 500-book edition with great critical acclaim and no sales) but since one can’t actually prove that it is, “unattested,” but Is It Fake would like to register the strongest possible objections to anyone who would bother to make up a reason for Herman Melville to be sad, dude was like high king and priest of making his own ass sad in the desert, leave him alone
If for some reason your life has been missing negative reviews of Moby-Dick you can find the full spectrum of praise to castigation here. Personal fave goes to the writer who said “There is nevertheless in it, as we have already hinted, abundant choice reading for those who can skip a page now and then, judiciously....”
PROVABLY FAKE >:(
Oscar Wilde (on Lady Windermere’s Fan): My dear sir, I have read your manuscript. Oh, my dear sir.
False. Is It Fake can’t believe even people talking about Oscar Wilde are getting the Oscar Wilde effect. It’s attributed to a bunch of people, but the oldest attribution found was to John Clayton, from Albert Chevalier’s autobiography of 1895, as
“My dear sir, I have read your play. Oh! my dear sir! Yours truly, John Clayton.”
As Albert Chevalier was a comedian & music hall performer and this is part of a collection of anecdotes, one is perhaps not super convinced this was ever real, from anyone. (There’s also a fwithout the last line: “My dear sir, I have read your play. Yours, Fred Thompson.”
Gertrude Stein spent 22 years submitting before getting a single poem accepted.
Possibly true, in that Is It Fake can’t find the date of publication of her first poem, but not substantively true, in that Three Lives ran when she was 35, so unless we’re counting whatever she submitted at 13, this is false. Stein was constantly and continually rejected though. Like just absolutely constantly, and crushingly too. This rejection letter is particularly amazing.

Birds of a Feather
For @mynamesaplant​
Happy birthday and Merry Christmas!!! I really hope you like this one. I wanted to make you something about the boys, because I know you love the boys. I hope the coming days are kind to you, because you deserve it. You're so rad and kind you never couldn't deserve it. I love you.
Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Relationship: Jack Atlas/Fudou Yuusei/Crow Hogan
“Might not be a bad idea to throw in this big guy.” Crow picked up the card for Junk Berserker. “Gives you more options for Synchros, and if you’re up against something really powerful, his effect can help you turn the tables.���
“Hmm.” Yusei carefully took Junk Berserker from Crow and looked the card over. “I haven’t used this one in awhile, but that’s a good idea. I’ll do that. Thanks.”
“No prob.” Crow flashed a smile in Yusei’s direction. “Glad I can help.”
“Me, too. Your help’s always appreciated. How’re you holding up?” Yusei asked. “Need anything?”
Crow scowled down at his broken arm. “Not really holding up much of anything right now. But really, I don’t need anything, I’m fine. Just gonna take too long to heal, that’s all.”
It really was bad timing.
Yusei, Jack, and Crow had teamed up together for the WRGP— the big turbo dueling tournament where duelists worked together in teams of three. And then right in the middle of it, Crow’s arm was broken in an accident. Team 5D’s suspected it was actually sabotage by another team, but there was nothing they could do about it now. Nothing they could do would heal Crow’s arm faster, and that was all it took to take him out of the tournament for at least a couple more duels.
It wasn’t the worst thing in the world for the team itself. Akiza had just gotten her turbo dueling license. She was now serving as the team substitute until Crow had recovered. And Crow’s arm would recover with time. Until then, he went out with Akiza almost every day to help her practice and prepare for the tournament, working on both her driving and her teamwork strategies. No, Yusei wasn’t too worried about the team. The team was fine. He was a lot more worried about Crow.
It wasn’t that he was worried about Crow not getting better. He knew Crow would. It was about Crow’s mental state.
With only one working arm, Crow was severely limited. Turbo dueling was completely out of the question. He couldn’t drive his duel runner, and he certainly couldn't duel like that, either. Even just using a duel disk for a regular duel really required both arms and hands to be working properly. Crow couldn’t duel at all unless he sat down at a table and kept track of everything by hand. Even then, without a proper education, Crow’s writing and math skills weren’t the greatest. Crow used his duel runner for work to make deliveries, too, so not only was Crow losing his hobby, he couldn’t work, either.
Yusei could tell Crow was trying his hard to hide it, but he could also tell Crow was depressed. Who wouldn’t be? His wings were clipped. Helping Yusei work on his deck was probably the best mood Yusei had seen Crow in for at least a few days now.
Yusei just wished there was more he could do. Something, to help one of the most important people in his life.
He wasn’t the only one.
“He’s pretending he’s not, but he’s moping around the house all day,” Jack told Yusei. “He even stopped complaining about me not having a job. Which believe me, I don’t miss it, but it’s not like him.”
“I’d try to help him feel better if I could, but...” Yusei sighed. “I just don’t know how. I hate seeing him like this, too. I want him to be happy, we all earned it, but how?”
“Well, there’s no way he can drive a duel runner right now. That’s not happening.”
“Thanks, Jack.”
“But what if that didn’t have to stop him from dueling?” Jack pressed on, ignoring Yusei’s comment. “He and I both can’t really duel well without a duel disk, we’re not so great with numbers, so that’s not what I mean. What if he could use a duel disk with one hand?”
Yusei thought for a second. “Do they make any like that?”
“I’m not sure, but to be perfectly honest, even if they do I don’t know that we could afford it. You’ve heard Crow complain about my coffee expenses. But I don’t think that makes it out of the question, either.”
“What do you mean?”
“Use your fucking brain for a second, Yusei.” Jack rolled his eyes. “And you’re supposed to be the smart one of the relationship. You’re a mechanic. You built our duel runners from scratch and several junk parts.”
“Are you...saying I should build Crow a one-handed duel disk?” Yusei blinked. “Jack, that’s...that’s a really good idea. And it’s really kind of you, too. Building it myself would bring the cost down, and we can really tailor it to Crow specifically. And if he can duel, not only can he helps us prepare even more for the WRGP if he wants to, but it’ll help him regain some control over his life. He’ll be happier for sure.”
“Glad to see you’ve caught up with the rest of the class.” Jack smirked.
“So...how’re we making this thing?”
“Oh my god, Yusei, I just said you’re the mechanic. That’s your job to figure out. I’m only here for the brilliant ideas and moral support.”
“Gee, thanks again, Jack.”
Their planning session started the next time Crow was out, helping Akiza with more WRGP practice. It allowed Yusei and Jack to both plan in peace, since they were planning to make this a surprise. Yusei had a few days off from his own mechanic work; he’d purposefully taken on fewer jobs to help himself prepare for the WRGP, which also gave him more time for this new project.
”It needs all the same functions as our regular duel disks,” Yusei said. “Calculate life points, card holograms, all the card slots, connect to other duel disks, deck shuffling, card text reader...” He reached into the bag sitting next ro him and began pulling out parts. “I’ve already gotten some parts for that. I keep a lot of this around already for our duel runners, especially now because of the WRGP. Even if I’m missing something, it shouldn’t be hard to track down. I’m more concerned about the rest of the design at the moment.”
”Well, someone came prepared,” Jack commented.
”You’re damn right.”
All three of them had grown up living from junk and scraps. Even now, Yusei tended to hoard spare parts for just about anything he might need.
Jack grabbed his duel disk and activated it. He may not know how to even begin to build something like they were planning, but if there was one thing he knew, it was how to duel. He drew a few cards from his deck. “Usually you need one hand to hold your current hand, and the other hand to draw and place cards on the field. But right now we don’t have that luxury for Crow.”
”We need to eliminate one of those from the equation.”
”You can’t hold your hand in turbo dueling, either,” Jack pointed out. “Duel runners have holders for that built in. Maybe we could do something like that.”
”Yeah, yeah...you’re right. Something like that should work. But he can’t place cards with the same arm the duel disk is on, either. I still agree about the card holder, but I’m also thinking his duel disk shouldn’t go on his arm, either...”
The two of them kept throwing ideas at each other, taking some, throwing out others, and changing things along the way. Jack and Yusei quickly lost track of time, but partway into their planning, Yusei pulled out some paper and a pencil and began sketching out a design. Not that Yusei was any sort of artist. He never would claim that. But sketching designs was very necessary in his line of work. The sketches were rough, but showed the design from different angles, along with rough measurements. By the time Crow came back home, a final design was agreed on, and was also hidden away. Both Yusei and Jack’s mouths were shut.
Work began soon after.
Yusei was very careful not to let Crow see what he was up to, or what he was working on. Most of the tine Crow didn’t know he was doing anything at all. Jack even pitched in where he could, keeping his own involvement a secret. Both were determined to make this project the best possible for their other third.
And then, it was finished.
“I think you guys are all in pretty good shape for your next duel.” Crow took a sip from his mug of hot tea. “Your new strategies for the change in team are looking pretty solid. You’re all great duelists. The other teams should watch out.”
”As they should,” Jack responded. “Everyone ought to know to fear the King.”
”Don’t forget, there’s two Kings on this team,” Yusei reminded Jack. “That means we should require double the respect.”
”Of course, but don’t forget, I was the King first!”
Yusei ignored him. “Hey, Crow, come with me for a second. I need your help with something.”
”Me?” Crow frowned. “If I can really help you out, sure, whatever you need.”
”So I’m just chopped liver to you both, am I?” When Jack’s question was once again ignored, he tailed after them both.
Yusei took Jack and Crow over near where the trio kept their duel runners. Yusei kept a small work area there for duel runner maintenance, though duel runners were far from his mind at the moment. There was another project waiting there, much smaller than their motorcycles, which Yusei picked up and held out to Crow. “Of course you can help,” Yusei told him. “You’re the only person who can. Hold onto this for me.”
”Uh, okay then.” Crow did as Yusei asked. What he held in his hand now didn’t look like much. It was like someone had taken a duel disk and flattened it. Not that it was completely flat, but it was definitely more compact. “What is this, anyway?”
”You’ll see.” Yusei stepped behind Crow. “Just move your hand...here.” He wrapped one of his hands around Crow’s as he guided it a bit closer towards Crow’s body. “There should be a button near your thumb. Press that.”
Crow pushed the button.
A regular duel disk would wrap itself around a duelist’s wrist. This one wrapped itself around Crow’s waist. The duel disk’s field stretched out in front of him. The whole thing was designed to be as study as possible without weighing too much. It was also designed, objectively speaking, to look cool as fuck. It went along with the aesthetic of Crow’s helmet and duel runner; it was painted in dark colors and looked almost like the duel disk had sprouted wings.
“Holy shit!” Crow stared down at the duel disk. “What is this? This looks so fucking cool!”
”We made you a special duel disk,” Yusei told him, smiling. “It does everything you would normally be able to do in a duel, but it lets you duel one-handed. There’s a card holder here so you don’t need to hold onto your hand, the deck and graveyard slots over here are easily accessible with either hand...” Yusei started pointing out all the key features of the device, explaining to Crow not only how to use it, but also that he could.
”You guys made this? This is... Wow.” Crow laughed. He’d barely laughed at all since his arm had been broken. In that moment, no sound could top Crow’s laughter to Jack and Yusei. “I can’t believe this. Thank you.”
”It was no problem at all, we were happy to do it,” Yusei said. “No one should be able to take away your ability to duel. Now, no one will be able to.”
Crow laughed again. “You keep saying ‘we’, but I’m not sure I can believe that. Last I checked, Jack’s not a mechanic.”
”Excuse me?? I did a lot to help make this duel disk!” Jack fumed. “Implying anything else is an insult!”
”To Jack’s credit, he was extremely helpful throughout the whole process,” Yusei added. “Not just with holding things in place for me, either. He helped a lot with the design. In fact, this was all his idea in the first place.”
”That might be a little too much credit, as hard as it is to admit. You were the one who wanted to do something for Crow, you brought it up first. All I did was think of something we could do for him.” Jack looked away from both Yusei and Crow. “We can share credit for the original idea.”
Crow reached out to grab Jack by the shoulder. “All jokes aside, Jack, thank you. Really. It means a lot to me that you wanted to help me duel again before my arm healed. It means a lot that you both did. I can’t thank you both enough.”
”A duel would be a good start.” Jack grinned. “It’s been too long since the three of us dueled together.”
~DELETED SCENE~
“I can’t believe somebody actually sabotaged another team like that.”
Olivia, Morgan, and Julia looked down from the stands as Team 5D’s prepared for their practice time. Team Cruel Squad would be up to practice soon, so they were waiting. Might as well watch this team practice while they did, in case they were ever up against them in this tournament.
“I know. It’s cruel, taking a duelist’s ability to duel away.”
“I guess so.” Olivia looked up from her phone. “God, I wish that was me. Taken out of the tournament. I’m only here because that bitch Pegasus told me to compete from beyond the grave.” It helped that Olivia was able to compete with her favorite dumbass and bastard too, though.
“We’re so fucking haunted.” Morgan laughed. “It’s almost as bad as Saggi.” This comment was followed by an ominous honk in the distance.
“Don’t say that. Nothing’s as bad as Saggi.”
“But whatever. This is so cool!” they went on. “Cruel Squad teaming up in a tournament like this, we’re gonna kick ass! No one stands a chance against my Aromages.”
“If they try, I’ll fucking drown them,” Julia added. They grinned. “This siren’s gonna lead people to their death.”
“Even if I end up having to duel for some reason, I’ve got a bunch of cards that make Team Cruel Squad just automatically win,” Olivia said. “I don’t know if we could lose if we tried.”
“We’re gonna crush them!” Morgan declared.
“They’ll be squashed like the bugs they are!” Julia yelled.
“They don’t have a choice in the matter, but I’m glad you two are excited.”

Ep. 8:  Jury Duty and Lower Andes are the Real Threats ~ Drew
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyway it flopped and backfired and Kevin went home and I hope he still likes me.
Tumblr media
Here are my parting words. Fuck Ashley and Keegan (probably). The only people I can trust are Jay and my goddamn dog. Kevin out
Tumblr media
Okay so I was at work all day and while that was going on Ashley caught on to Jay and Kevin possibly feeding info to Drew. Or at least that's what JD and LA said. So, they switched their votes to Kevin. Which after a quick discussion with Ashley 5 minutes before the votes were due, we agreed it's probably for the best. So Ashley, JD, LA and myself all voted for Kevin. And Jay got a self vote. So with that, Kevin went home. And he said he had an idol in his pocket. Moving forward, it looks like Ashley, JD, LA and myself are now working together, rather than the Wholesome Happening. Is this a good thing? That remains to be seen. But at the moment I'm safely in the majority. And LA, Drews highest target is still in the game, providing me with a bit of a meat shield. This is a crazy game and so much is going on .
Tumblr media
That.... Was not exactly what I thought was going to happen tonight but another potential number for Drew is gone. Hopefully, if we can get him to NOT BE IMMUNE, then we could MAYBE get him out. We still need to be weary of the idols and whatever. RIP Kevin. Poor baby. 
Tumblr media
I swear to God. In this game I am Spiderman.... You know. My spider senses are tingling.... Or Deadpool, he's Canadian and he had a moment of "my common sense is ringing" 
Tumblr media
I am truly amazed that we made it through that round. Am I happy with the way that is upset Jay? Hell no. Do I care? In the game no I don't care, in real life yeah I care. I'm not kidding when I say that I adore Jay, I'm just hoping that she doesn't hold it against me. But I would like to add that one the flip side of that, after tribal, Ashley told me that that herself, Keegan, Jay and Kevin were all working together and they were planing on taking out LA so, that is a huge reason why I don't care (in game) that she's upset. She ended up self voting because she had a headache, fare. If I have a headache I don't want to be anywhere where I have to think. If nothing else she knew almost all day that I was looking at voting Kevin and her only argument agent it was that it was a bad idea. I don't wanna say that she staged her headache, but it came at a very perfect time to keep herself natural. if it was a plan it was a good one really, I mean me and Lori don't look at her any different. She was always a number for me rather or not I was going to go to the end with her. Anyway, I tried to get Drew to give me the Rainbow Idol today, I think I almost had it too but I think in the end he felt that LA was going to go home anyway and I was going to be bitter and I wouldn't have given it back. The real question was if I was actually going to give it back or not. IDK! Probably, unless he won the next challenge, then I would have held it hostage so I didn't get sent home with it. Or I would have tried to use it to send him home, I don't really know what it does so I'm also unsure what I would have done with it. So other then my big melt down that I am surprised didn't send me home, like why did they still vote for LA? If that was my group I would of had them switch the votes. like the first time Drew does not win immunity, I probs wont vote for him, might go for Jack instead. I really do need to send Lori home though, I can't go to the final with her other wise (if Jay is not with me) I can hear her question already and I don't think it would be good... Probably me to Lydia in my season. I was not the nicest person ever. I think that at this point everyone knows that I have an idol, I think that Kevin went home with one and Jack has the other one? Maybe, if I heard him right. Anyway, it wouldn't have mattered if Kevin had the idol or not, it really came down to Keegan and Ashley on that one, the only way that Kevin would have been comfortable enough  not to play it was if he knew he had the numbers. BTW AMANDA! That was a very long pause at tribal! Whos gonna play it... Probs because I ranted in the host chat about my metal struggles. Anyway.... I'm obsessed with this face so have another one: 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You wanna know how I feel about tonight? About my biggest ally and only real friend going home because of MY stupid ass plan? About being totally out of the loop with my allies? About everybody being angry at me and yelling at me in pm about how stupid and frustrating I am? About BEING as stupid and frustrating as I am? About spending two hours making a spreadsheet for the challenge and then fucking up after ten minutes even though I'm literally gonna go home without immunity?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I just fucked up in the challenge, I feel like I didn't make it high enough to win which sucks cause I'm pretty sure I needed to win this one. 
Kevin was voted out, and it's a good thing because it seems like he flipped which is what we were worried about.
Jay is upset though? I get it seems like we've all paired off but I can't go to ftc with JD and apparently she was using my name last round, its only a matter of time before one of us actually goes for the other.
I'm also unsure if Jay is really upset or playing us, which sounds terrible but people say she's a really good player and this would be a good move. I DON'T KNOW. I like Jay and don't want her upset but I also don't wanna be played, the struggle of this game.
The last thing is JD claims to have an idol now. Kevin said he had one too and someone already used an idol ? so I don't know.
Only thing I know is Drew needs to stop coming at me every tribal. 
Tumblr media
I'm so sad. I miss Kevin. I don't trust JD and LA and I don't trust Drew even though he's being nice to me and Jack hates me and I'm assuming Keegan and Ashley don't like me because they never talk to me. I know I'm objectively in an okay position because I'm still in the middle, but I'm tired of the middle. I'm mad at the initials and I'm sad. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So Lori said she flipped this challenge with 40 bundles. I'm hoping this turns out like post every ten minutes challenge cus she thought she flipped that one too. I've got 61 so if she flipped then I really didn't do that great ether. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay 110th confession today. Time for a classic Jay B confession. Anyone who's hosted me knows. It's the confession where I decide it's time to go balls to the wall. To really go for it in the game and stop giving a fuck. So that's the plan. Drew has one of the most crackedt plans I've ever heard up his sleeve, and I live for it. Everyone who's wronged me can vote for me at the end. Everyone left in the game (besides Jack hi) has done better than me in any game I've ever played. I deserve better. Fuck everyone except me. Villain Jay is coming out to play. She's back. She's in. She's going to kill everyone. I don't care. Goodbye.
Tumblr media
Still unsure about where Jay really stands and JD needs to go, jfc. At this point it feels like she's running the game, along with Keegan and Ashley. I don't wanna suggest blindsiding Keegan right now because I think Jay will flip when we do but idk. I also have to work soon so I can't plot for long. fsdghriuhdfgdf. 
Tumblr media
So! Here's the tea! The tea, besides the fact that I'm going to win, is that I'm with Jack and Drew. Basically, I really really feel like the initials have been playing me this entire game. Love them to death, really, but. Well. JD put my position into perspective when she told me the plan for tonight (hers is 3 on jack, 2 on drew, supposedly) and said "Ashley and Keegan are already on board with it." Look JD, if ashland and kegels are your f4, you need to be way more subtle. If you're making me choose between being #5 in one alliance and #3 in another, it's probably better for me to be #3. I'm the only person who doesn't have an f2, so all I have is to pray that this season is an f3 and stick with the people who can get me there. If I could get the initials to go for Keegan or Ashley tonight instead of drack, that would be ideal, but if they won't, then I'm definitely done voting with them. So there's what's happening, confessional gods. ________________________________________________________________ Update I just had the ugliest realization of my life. My best chance to win. Is. To go with. Keegan and Ashley.
Tumblr media
I'm dying tonight. Or rather, I truly hope I am not dying tonight, but I am more than willing to put myself at risk to follow my gut. I've been holding onto the hope that one day Alley and Kieran would see reason. That Jury Duty and Lower Andes are the real threats, they're the only ones who can beat each other. And every time, both of them have turned against me, Ashland especially. Jack-O-Lantern Designs literally has immunity and a hidden immunity idol, and a best friend in Legal Analysis. On the flip side, Laser Attention has the battered player syndrome of having to survive being targeted so long to get to the end. IT'S INSANE TO STICK WITH THEM. And yet Geaken and Halsey seem to be perfectly fine with either 2nd and 3rd, or 3rd and 4th, or 4th and 5th. So I've given up on them. Tonight, Jay has been told in her alliance chat with Jefferson Davis and Lily Aldrin that the vote is going to split 3-2-2, to prepare for my idol. She says they're leaning toward 3 on Jack and 2 on me, because the majority of idol possibilities, minus the topaz idol, would still leave them with some form of revote possibilities. I do have the topaz idol, but I feel like that's completely irrelevant. I'm not playing it on myself. They lied to Jay about voting for Kumquat after Steven, and then they lied again to send Kevin home. I don't trust this plan is real, I can't for even a second, because I don't think they're gonna go with a plan that leaves them that vulnerable. So the topaz idol is being played on Jay B tonight. She doesn't know it. Jack doesn't know it. No one knows it but me. And I suppose now you as well, dear readers. But I genuinely believe that their four are going to vote for Jay and blindside her and get me to flush my idol, and they'll all be fine. They'd still have to contend with me, but they'd have four strong. Anyway I guess if this is my last episode, it's a really good bookend to my Athena journey. My first game, I got sent home because of an idol, because I didn't follow my gut and got it played on the wrong person. This season, if I go, it's not because I sat here trying to protect my own interests. It's because I followed my gut to its logical conclusion and gave myself the potential for keeping my best chance of making it to the end. I hope I'm right, I hope I'm not buying myself 7th place, I hope I'm still here tomorrow, but I'm okay with this. This feels right.
Tumblr media
Apparently JD/LA/Keegan/Ashley are splitting votes on me and Drew? Unless they're lying, then probably they're all voting Jay. We're gonna try to vote for Ashley I think? My only chance at making ftc is to look confused, which... isn't very hard.
Tumblr media
So it's a double tribal sort of tonight. Tribal, challenge, tribal. All within a single night. RIP. So JD is spewing out all these scenarios and ideas for how we should vote and I guess it's fallen into 3 votes for Drew and 2 votes for Jack. Honestly though I think that's a waste. Drew has that rainbow idol and I can 100% guarantee he's playing it tonight, so why throw so many votes on him when we know they'll be negated? But it's JD's plan so when it fails and LA is likely voted out, we can push the blame onto her. Which is fine. I think Ashley and I are in a pretty good spot. We've got LA and JD as one alliance and then another with Jay. As long we don't get votes sent towards us for either of these tribals we'll be golden. If we vote out Drew or Jack at the first tribal, it could be best for Ashley and myself to then flip it around and vote out LA or JD. We need to keep ourselves on the top. 
Tumblr media
So this day has been interesting. I'm now at the point where I'm betting my idol to people that I'm not sure if I even want to go into the end with. I'm so unsure if I want Ashley and Keegan with me or not because I feel like they just know more people and those people could very easily asssume that they did all the stuff and I just came along for a ride. I would be the 3ed, there is no way around that but I don't wanna be the 3ed. But I can't make a move on then yet because without them I don't have the numbers. Okay so the day started with me at work going over ..... Wait maybe I should go back a little father. Like day before yesterday, when Kevin got voted out the 'i killed and eel, I buried it's guts' alliance started but I wasn't a huge fan of it cus I like Kevin and I feel like he was the eel. I want to say that maybe we shouldn't have voted him out but there was no other way, during that vote it was clear that he had flipped on us so he had to go. So anyway, I told them I'd go to the final with them. I mean if everyone thinks i have finals with everyone else then I might as well do it. Can't have people thinking that I do t want to go with them but that is go with the rest of the tribe. Earlier me and Keegan had worked out a plan to vote 3votes for drew, 2 votes for Jack and 2 votes for whoever they vote for. I worked though 4 possibilities. And only 1 has any real negative on them because of the possibility of all vote to Drew turning into votes for the person Drew votes for. So whoever him and Jack vote for will end up with like... Enough votes to go home. In my mind that is LA, the only reason he would have to change his vote is of he knows I have the idol and that I am playing it on her. Which I'm not and jay say she didn't tell him so there should be no reason to change the vote. And I louse my alliance member. 2. Top two votes are safe and in a 2-2-3 with LA, Jack, and Drew. They are all save and then we would have a re-vote (or maybe Amanda will take us right to rocks to save time but I didn't tell them that one) 3. Drew's idol can be played after the vote which, as far as I know has not been done before so idk if Amanda would put it in a second chance season. But if that's a thing then there would be a toe and a re-vote and goodbye jack 4. Most unlikely and now near impossible. Jack and drew uses idols and LA goes home. But Jack said he hasn't been to the reef I a long time. That being said I don't think he'd have been able to get the idol, the rainbow idol. He's just too.... Not into it I guess. But what better what to hide it then to to have your alliance member say they have it and then play dumb. Anyway, me and Keegan bother got the beginning idols, Kevin might have gotten the one after merge andif jack hasn't been to the reef in a wheelchair he wouldn't have gotten the one Keegan had used. So it was set that we would do a 3drew, 2jack vote. But now it's all kinds of fucked up. In 100% sure that Keegan and Ashley are flipping while I am saying this. They are probs gonna promise not to vote for drew and they will probs vote for jay. Because they don't trust her and if they find out that drew isn't using her then why keep her and I have immunity and an idol. I could use my idol on jay, assuming that my gut is telling the truth and they are flipping. My guy has very rarely been wrong and if that is all the case then idoling Jay is the best move. But at the same time I'm just like... Jay thinks that drew is convinced that she is with him. But ready... If he took jay over Keegan and Ashley then he wouldn't really have the numbers. It's going to be one hell of a night and we'll see what happens.

Deceitfulcharmer
they're all so pretty and perfect ;-;
Vxtum
OMGG SDJKFJKDSFHJKI agree with Katie. ;-; They all look good!
Calypso reminding me of Eris from Sinbad
Deceitfulcharmer
Part of me is a little tempted to take part, but I also know that I wouldn't do anything with it so there's no point asdfghjk
Metalpiratequeen
gently nudges gives us the war/liberator god and blue sky goddess
Vxtum
Could always do what I'm doing? I just made it its separate verse for anytime
Deceitfulcharmer
stop tempting meeeee
that could also work ;-;
Metalpiratequeen
I'm making them seperate verses because I want to keep these going.
Deceitfulcharmer
maybe I'll doodle a couple things when I get home uwu
Vxtum
sdkjhsdfhjk oh god ;-;
-excited for both-
Deceitfulcharmer
I've been practicing muscular males lately so Megatron can be one of my guinea pigs xD
Vxtum
Muscled warlord u-u good, good stuff
Rustedservos
yeah im probs gonna make this a seperate verse also cause i love god formers
Metalpiratequeen
Sweet. Has everyone made a godformer then?
Swordintehswarm
shake head no
Vxtum
Julius says he might make Tetta into a tiny fairy that accompanies Gravitas. (We otherwise are abstaining from Cyclonus, Galvatron, and Scourge having godforms. For Cyclonus, he already has two 'god' verses, and he's from a god in our targetmaster verse. I'm pretty much maxed out with Cyclonus and his herald-self xD)
Metalpiratequeen
Cyclonus-deity whore
But tiny fairy Tetta sounds so cute ;3;
Vxtum
-grins-
Metalpiratequeen
Or an imp. Lazarette sees her as a mischievous I'mp. :p
Swordintheswarm
Fae folk are not nice8'D
Fae folk kill people for fun, no need for imps
Deceitfulcharmer
Grimmjow muse was also very interested in Gravitas' godformers bio, btw uwu
Vxtum
I've no idea if she's a killer. I just know that she puts new flowers in his hair and sleeps in some of the larger blooms strung up on his antlers. She might be nice to him, but for all I know, she could absolutely be this evil thing to everyone else.
omg, was he?? -grins- Come give him a bowl of berries at one of his shrines/alters, and he'll come out to associate with you~
Swordintheswarm
Tetta using Gravitas's antlers to nestle sounds adorable asf
Vxtum
He's a greedy fuck. You leave him an offering, he's there
Swordintheswarm
But I am too cautious about actual medieval fairies to try to approach if it were rl xD
Deceitfulcharmer
when you start thinking of your OC in godformers AU but end up accidentally dragging another two of your OCs into it alongside her ;-;
I started with goddess of wind and rain and now I've ended up with god of thunder and goddess of lightning too
Swordintheswarm
Loool, ikr
MetalPirateQueen
Weather deities!
Deceitfulcharmer
be nice to them or they will flood your village, or start a fire. whatever they feel like
Swordintheswarm
I want to do godformer bug but I’m procrastinating
Vxtum
It took me, like, four days to complete the "meet the godformer" thing, so don't feel bad u-u
Metalpiratequeen
What does my Godformer wear? ....nothing
Vxtum
Instantly the most popular among their peers
Deceitfulcharmer
I'm thinking Electron's Godformer can't/doesn't ever touch the ground, instead hovering on a breeze
Vxtum
I haven't decided yet that when Gravitas takes human form, if he bothers 'magicking' clothes onto himself. He feels like the sort of uncivilized guy to walk around, naked and proud. "Your cultural's obsession with the need to hide the beauty of one's body is not welcome in my presence. I will not humour it."
omg, Katie
Metalpiratequeen
Maybe Electron is a breeze. Like a literal wind with a human outline.You could see a whirlwind inside her. Or a hurricane
Deceitfulcharmer
I was going to go for super flowy clothes but that sounds so beautiful too ;-;
Metalpiratequeen
(Also be warned. LS is a demigod going around demanding quests from gods, Hercules style, so she may obtain godhood and finally meet her father, the god of time. While Lazarette is a vengeful god who hates humans for occupying her domain and rarely ever joins in on deity affairs and politics. Haven't quite decided where the bros stand. Might make Oil Slick a satyr.
Deceitfulcharmer
Megatron sits around, counting down the days until the next war when he's suddenly needed again xD
Metalpiratequeen
God of war gets a lot if holidays xD
Deceitfulcharmer
I have two big questions: 1. How buff do I make him and 2. How much of it do I actually bother to cover with armour
Vxtum
Gravitas actually enjoys humans, preferring to be in the forest, watching them/helping them/revealing himself to them than hanging around the Ethereal Realm (Olympus/Heaven/whatever LOL)), so he pretty much skimps out on most festivities and politics. But fuck, LS. ;-; I love that take you did. It gives her such a good reason to interact with any god she comes across. Fuck, I can't wait to see, man xD
LOL, Katie. Conan arms!
Metalpiratequeen
Go the opposite route and give Megs as little armour as possible. Hell, how about an old collesium match where he battles butt naked!
Deceitfulcharmer
CHARL xD
Vxtum
lmao, I actually agree about the naked part. If you gotta go to war naked to startle the enemy, then more reason to!
Deceitfulcharmer
all these naked gods, how scandalous <3
Metalpiratequeen
They're gods. All they do is fight and have sex anyway.
Deceitfulcharmer
...you have a very good pointwhy not do both at once and save time?
Metalpiratequeen
(Normal verse: Gravitas and Lazarette have a ton of sex. Godformer au: Gravitas and Lazarette have a ton of sex. Only now with bestiality)
Vxtum
Horse cock
Well, not really. Maybe I should still give him his double-cock. Sounds like a god-thing. So fertile he's got two
Decetifulcharmer
yes, give him the double dick
Metalpiratequeen
Well, fish don't really have holes, so they're kinda at a crossroad here. Unless she can also have human legs.
OMG XD
Vxtum
lmao
Metalpiratequeen
My poor girl. Gravitas could only frack her valve as a robot, but now he can actually double penetrate her xD
Vxtum
"CHANGE TO YOUR HUMAN FORM!"
"NO, YOU CHANGE TO SOMETHING ELSE!"
"HOW CAN WE MATE IF WE'RE INCOMPATIBLE? I AM NOT DRY HUMPING YOU, WOMAN."
Metalpiratequeen
LMAO
Already married.
Swordintheswarm
Omfg xD
Vxtum
Everyone hears the argument and just rolls their eyes. Another day as all-powerful gods; another fight between two vastly proud deities, refusing to change form for the other as they try to figure out a solution to have sex
Deceitfulcharmer
-Megatron sits and waits for it to turn into a war-
Vxtum
lmao
So he can come charging it, naked and swords drawn (not just two in this case)
Deceitfulcharmer
His third sword, this time
Vxtum
-pictures Gravitas, mad at Lazarette, exiting a forest to the beach line, and just stomps his hooves and splashes and kicks at the water, knowing it's her domain-
Tailblinking
"Fish pee in you- all day! So... hmph"
Thanks Moana
Vxtum
Ahah!

- for God!Gravitas
Deceitfulcharmer
Electron is friends with all birds, but her animal form would be a peregrine falcon <3
Aaaahh beautiful forest ;v;
Vxtum
that's awesomeI can even see her in the design of that bird (had to google that xD)
Metalpiratequeen
Beautiful sky goddess ;_;
LS is gonna pester her for a quest. (Or at the very least a free ride)
Deceitfulcharmer
It's an unintentional likeness but I run with it xD
please do <3
Swordintheswarm
Welp now I wanna godformer too
Metalpiratequeen
(Lazarette brings s tidal wave down on Gravitas)
Good!Please join us!
Swordintheswarm
Oh my god 8'D
What do I have to do, I mean I’m not really gonna do anything with it for the event but maybe to keep it as au
Unifyingspark
Clearcut should be the god/protector of orphaned or abandoned kids. Since he has that in his history, poor baby
Swordintheswarm
He's more of a knight than insect, so maybe god of honor instead. God of honor AND insects maybe xD
True LOL
Unifyingspark
honor would do, he is all about the honor
Swordintheswarm
He should take after traits of herbivore insects that fight each other for mates
Aka rhino and stag beetles, and earwigs. Maybe something else
In any case bugs known to 'duel for honor' :'D
Unifyingspark
*huge grin
Vxtum
// lmao.. Lazarette. Coughing, sputtering stagtaur, hair all over his face as he curses her name(edited)
Swordintheswarm
Lol, just this huge rhino beetle with earwig cerci, gilded in gold and jewels. Maybe give him a humanoid face but otherwise he's just a massive damn beetle pursuing evildoers....kind of like khepri from smite, actually
Unifyingspark
sounds gorgeous
Deceitfulcharmer
-gets home in an hour- -really wants to draw her godformers- ;-;
Swordintheswarm
https://images.discordapp.net/.eJwVw1EOwiAMANC7cAAqBTvYAfxXT0AYYTObJbT7Mt7d-JL3MefYzWxW1S4zwLJJ4bFYUR65VduY215z38QWPiCr5rIe9a0C6Mml6K8YIhGhCwEw4XT592miEBMS4P10j-fNvnoz3x__GiHw.5lbRwsqv-Aa3GwbsbG8upq2O3HM?width=728&height=456
Just add browns to that and earwig cerci, and pretty close
Vxtum
I love how the gods could so easily be interconnected and know one another (or know about one another)? CC and his insects in Gravitas' forests; the forest lining against Lazarette's oceans; Electron the air they breathe, the wind that carries in the rain from Lazaratte's seas to Gravitas' forests, to give nourishment for the insects (both as water and healthy foliage to eat) CC's insects are what keep the ecosystem of the forests thriving and healthy
Deceitfulcharmer
They also feed Electron's bird friends <3
Metalpiratequeen
Everything is connected. Hence why most gods are related. It would be nice that each one keeps an eye on the other. Like Electron flying over Lazarette’s domain, keeping watch. Or communicating which each domain’s animals just to hear what is going on
Vxtum
-grins- Always getting into disputes with one another, too. Domain rivalries
Unifyingspark
*throws tiny fairy Tettares around Gravitas' antlersthere's my contribution
Metalpiratequeen
“Your ocean is submerging my land!”
“Well, the ice is stealing my water!”
“Well, the ice is killing my insects!”
Deceitfulcharmer
Omg yes, if she flooded the forest or her trine mate set fire to it with her lightning ;-;
Swordintheswarm
Omg yes. Theres so much capacity for interaction and strife
Vxtum
oh my god, I'm sure CC and Gravitas would be so angry if a forest caught fire 'cause of a lightening strike.
Swordintheswarm
THEY WOULD
Vxtum
And then they'd be snarling at Electron, "IT WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU HAD BROUGHT MORE RAIN FROM THE SEAS" Then they're off courting their Champions to then go to war and 'win' against the champions of the Electron and her trine mates. That's how they ultimately settle disputes. Bringing in mortals'cause they're immortal so nothing gets settled. In comes LS
Deceitfulcharmer
Megatron rubbing his hands in the distance. Yes good, he's been waiting for a good war
Vxtum
Oh man, that would awesome. When they all fucked up when they wake up the God of War
Metalpiratequeen
I'm pretty sure all Olympus meetings are just awkward family reunions where the father and mother god tell their kids to grow up...and as an opportunity to show off their new Demi-god offspring. "Look it's a nominator!” “Well, mine’s a Cyclops.” “Mine are daemon.” “Mines a kraken.”
Deceitfulcharmer
Gives help to whoever gives him the best offerings
Metalpiratequeen
(Now I can't stop imagining LS wielding a giant axe and running into batlle. "I will vanquish the evil naked war god and finally shed my human shell!!!”
Unifyingspark
Galvatron is proud. *hands her his axe* "You can borrow this for now but give it back or Cyclonus will be cross."// or cyclonus will gives me sucha frown
Metalpiratequeen
gladly accepts the battle axe..and instantly collapses under its weight.
Cyclonus of Tetrahex-Today at 5:47 PM
// Make me think of the comment I made a while back, now that it's so relevant to all this god stuff; Galvatron a war god, Scourge and Cyclonus his Valkyries
lmao Charl
This fantastic demigod everyone wants her as their champion. They see that fire in her
Unifyingspark
Galvatron winces and picks her up, "There, there, you will endure."
Metalpiratequeen
Meanwhile Maccadam, her deadbeat dad is seeing every possible future and drinking himself plastered. "Daughter. Please, stop."
Vxtum
I think Gravitas' trial to become his champion ultimate leads to them to hunt /him/; 'cause I wanted that in his bio. That he welcomes the bravest hunter coming to take his antlers as the trophy
Metalpiratequeen
*Intrigued mortal noises.*
No sweetie. No. There are easier trials.
Vxtum
lmaoI haven't decided if he would use his magic or not (like those who cheat often in the greek lore, making the trials /so/ much harder). I like to think he would put away his signalling horn and broadsword. He /makes/ himself the prey. But he keeps his dagger
Metalpiratequeen
LS gets her offering list out. "Alright then. Skinned fur from a successful hunt? Check. Vanilla scented candles. Check. Bowl or berries mixed with chunks of red meat from successful hunt? Check. Night if untamed passion and dominance?...where's auntie Lazarette when you need her?"
Vxtum
LMAO I can already hear her balking at the request. Not wanting to lie down with a flea-bitten, dirty man-deer
Metalpiratequeen
Well, not twice in one week. XD
Vxtum
LOLOH GOD, LOL
-tries to shut him up- He's just smirking and crossing his arms, a hoof pawing idly at the ground. "Back for more already?"
Metalpiratequeen
*throws a squid at him*
Vxtum
lmao
Metalpiratequeen
She loves him really.
Vxtum
-grins- That feeling is absolutely mutual
Metalpiratequeen
Oil Slick is gonna be a god of decay. :3 wearing his goat skull and cloaks. A satyr, and loving all things that rot and grow fungus.
Vxtum
Holy shit. All of the fantastic aestheticism I can already picture ;-; He's easily going to be the prettiest god to me
Unifyingspark
I was just gonna say, well Oil Slick hits all my spots, so I'm sold
Metalpiratequeen
Normal verse Oil Slick would greatly disapprove of his nonchalant to hygiene. His flower symbol is a mushroom (and he also might delve in hallucinations and acid trips xD) He's gonna love a potential war. So many bodies dropping to the floor. So much disease and death
Vxtum
http://babyanimalgifs.tumblr.com/post/158131529309/his-first-attempt-at-howling
If he enjoys everything decay, maybe one of his offerings could be the Corpse Flower xDLure that god down with the beautiful smell of nasty(edited)
Unifyingspark
Pup reminds me of baby Gravitasalso when I look at that puppy I think "cute" and then I think "pain in my ass"
Vxtum
LOL.. when he tries to roar for the first time in his beastmode?
Unifyingspark
he prolly has a lot of vocalizations though I believe his twin wins out on that. voidmonster who somehow is translated into fairy god.
Vxtum
-grins-His little fairy sister ;-;
Unifyingspark
God of nagging
Vxtum
LOLGravitas scowling and waving his hand at her, like she's a fly when she's nagging him
Metalpiratequeen
"Hey, listen. Hey, listen. Hey, listen."
Vxtum
lmao
Unifyingspark
Tiny glowing ball trying to talk to Lazarette, fish jumps out of water and eats her thinking she's a glowbug. Gravitas standing on the shore, all color leaves his face, "GAH!"
Vxtum
OH godGravitas, eyes wide, galloping frantically into the water. "Veritas!"
Explodes on Lazarette when he manages to capture the fish and free her; cuddling her close as he barks, "CONTROL YOUR BLOODTHIRSTY FAUNA!"
Unifyingspark
"Where does she live?" 
"On my head, pretty much."
Metalpiratequeen
Currently on the other side of the world, Lazarette projects a watery image of her head rising out from the ocean, "Get off my lawn."
Vxtum
LMAO
Unifyingspark
God she seriously could live on his head, he could hang a small lantern-style object from an antler like jewerly, when he has to do anything serious, takes her tiny house from him and hangs it on a tree, comes back for her later.
Vxtum
.. omgThat's perfect!
Unifyingspark
she's pretty much the forest gossip queen, collects all the dirt and going-ons, then brings all the chatter back to him
Swordintheswarm
Oh my god
Vxtum
He already has all kinds of other things thrown across his antlers. That would be /perfect/ ;-;"Who is talking shit about me today, sister? Whose people shall I starve today as punishment?"
Unifyingspark
xD I love it
Swordintheswarm
has a mental image of somebody putting festive flags or christmas tree-esque ornaments all over his antlers. There is even a star over his skull. Bloody murder is screamed. It's a bad time to be a mortal in the forest.
Vxtum
LMAO
that would be hilarious
Entire nearby village endures the god's wrath
