Redcoat OC lore dump!!

By no means is this EVERYTHING about these guys, just the base layers. I also dont go into specifics for a lot of these just because if i did it probably wouldnt line up so..yeah!

------------

Right, starting off with Charles Gray! He was born in Maryland on April 14, 1753 to Eleanor Gray and John Gray with three sisters - Mary Gray(last name changed to Fields when she gets married), Eleanor Gray Jr, and Frances Gray. His family was originally from London but they moved to the colonies in 1750, 3 years before he was born. His parents were devout loyalists, so he and his siblings quickly picked up on their beliefs. He primarily lived on his parents' plantation, so he was pretty well off financially and he had no struggle with money his entire life. Come 1773 when Charles is 19, his sister Frances dies and they were pretty close, he struggles to cope with her desth while being in the area she died so, he decides to move out to Pennsylvania where he instead meets Henry and William who become his closest friends and help him through all of that.

Soon enough, April of 1774 comes around and he meets Charlotte Brewer(new character alert~!), who he begins courting soon after. In august of 1774 they begin dating, and in April of 1776 he gets married!! Yeah, he doesnt get happily ever after though. He joins the british army with William and Henry not but a few months later, leaving his newly wed wife behind and hes extra guilty about it. When they meet Hamilton though, he takes an instant liking towards him and tries to make him feel welcome to distract himself from the guilt he feels. Problem is, he never actually told Ham hes married. So, whoops. The rest of the story is whats already written so ah, Hamilton still doesnt know he's married.

------------

Okayyy, William Fletcher! William was born in Newcastle on August 12, 1754 to George & Mary Fletcher. He has 6 siblings(im not writing out names.) Though 2 die before William even reaches the age of 1. This hasnt been brought up in the story, but he also can't remember most of his childhood other than the fact his father was shit. It wasnt anything too out of the ordinary for the time period, but it was a borderline abusive dynamic that sparked fights and fucked up his trust, making it really hard to keep stable relationships with anyone in the future. Ever wonder why he 'dislikes' Hamilton so much? Yeah thats why.

Anyway, his family moved to New York in August of 1765, and to Pennsylvania just a few months later. Life is pretty uninteresting for a few years until 1770 comes up(William is 16) and he meets Henry Reed!! Its almost instantaneous how fast they become friends, and in the future William HEAVILY cherishes their friendship because of how rare it was for him to open up to people, moreso with the gender norms in their time period. They bond a lot while theyre in Pennsylvania together and honestly fuck around and get into trouble like normal teenagers until, come 1773, they meet Charles!! He keeps them in check kind of, and they create this little trio. For william, it takes a lot longer to consider him a friend but it does happen, in which he also helps Charles court Charlotte in 1774!!

William is the one who encouraged them all to join the army, and Henry was quick to follow his word. When Hamilton came along in 1777, William really disliked him. He did warm up to him, and they were friends, but then ah..the whole Laurens thing..That trust was INSTANTLY broken and so that leaves us with William as we have it in modern chapters where he comes off as bitchy and rude. Yes, he is bitchy to Hamilton, but thats not his whole character and there is genuine reasons he acts so cold towards Hamilton, and sometimes even Charles. Charles less so because he's known him for longer, but Hamilton is someone he deemed as 'untrustworthy,' and therefore he sets up walls around him.

------------

Right! Henry Reed! Out of the group, he's the most tragic. He was Born in South Carolina on January 5, 1757 to Oliver & Molly Reed. He was also raised with two siblings though one died during his childhood and the other was almost an adult when he was born, so he has little recollection of them. His family had originally been from Norwich, but they moved to the colonies in 1745. They moved again however when he was 6 to Pennsylvania, where his mother left him and his father when he was 12. His childhood is kind of shitty overall, and most of his recollection is working in a trading company with his father to support them both after his mother had left. Even before she had left she was emotionally absent though his father had done his best to make up for that loss to little avail.

After his mother had left, Henry and his father did their best to keep afloat and it worked pretty well, though Henry felt somewhat responsible for the reason his mother left. He met William when he was 13, and like i said, they became very close very fast during some of the worst years of their life. Henry became quickly attached not only because of their friendship itself, but because he looked up to William in a sense? Like i said william was 16 when they met and often did things himself and was overly confident, Henry stayed on the sidelines and tried to hide as often as possible.

Anyway, when Charles came along Henry almost saw him as a sort of 'big brother,' and also became attached to him though not nearly as quickly or as hard as he did with william. During the whole Charles-Charlotte thing he kind of stayed off to the side and watched it all happen. He didnt like getting involved with ladies and honestly, he thinks charlotte looked too similar to his own mother. I might as well add on that he ws also extremely jealous of Charles for 'taking williams attention,' but thats not too important other than the fact that he has unresolved attachment issues.

The reason he wants to join the army is mostly because life is boring and he wants purpose, but also he wouldnt have done it if william didnt offer to join first. When he meets hamilton he doesnt mind him, theyre buddies kind of. Though a small disdain grows when he realizes william doesnt like him, and again, he looks up to william so he usually listens to his judgement. This dislike only grows during the laurens fiasco, but like charles, he doesnt HATE hamilton.

------------

I could rant about william and henrys whole dynamic if i really wanted to, but in short theyre two guys with similar traumas who found comfort in talking to each other !!! Their friendship in general isnt the healthiest, they both are overly dependent on one another with william having unresolved trust issues and henry with unresolved attachment issues but for the most part they arent miserable so thats what matters the most ig?

what are your thomas england thoughts? like what do u think thomas was like b4 they died

ok so thomas england is DEFINITELY one of the players who i imagine as part of the Prehistory Fridays Gang. so first he was around for everything in prehistory (along with fletcher berger, sebastian diaz and his partner, erickson hendricks, rhonda elliott, our lady of perpetual friday, fenry marlow and their dog homer, fitzgerald massey, jessi wise, and mrs silk who was then miss silk. and then also baby york and his dad parker, who was dating miss silk. obv not all of these people were necessarily fridays players at the time though maybe they worked behind the scenes). so THAT was a whole thing.

honestly part of the problem of being LITERALLY retconned out of the game is nobody remembers you anymore. thomas england was only around long enough to get joke lore, we were only really just starting to flesh out relationships between the players when he got incinerated, and he didnt get any of that. and what adds to this problem is, well in the fridays style of lore, we dont necessarily think about what a player does outside of blaseball, or at least we DEFINITELY didnt early on (and didnt get ANY new entirely unlored players until relatively late af in the game — so like, after sixpack on s4d86 our next two were fenry and yass statter jr in the s13 and s19 elections respectively). so as a result there isnt any kind of a precedent to fall back on for what i think about what he did?

but here's what i DO know;

i disagree with the wiki on this one: neither of his parents are from the UK (there is no way). i like to think like, at least one of his parents is native, and hes lived there his entire life

his legal name is thomas england + thats whats on all his blaseball stuff, but typically with other islanders he'd use pelekane (which is what some of the last few members of the hawaiian royal family called england in ʻolelo hawaiʻi). so its like, his career name is thomas england

hes transmasc B) also ADHD

he played first base

he loves doctor who, and not just because its from the UK. like, hes seen the TV movie and at least one of the peter cushing movies and most of classic who, listened to a whole bunch of audios, reads the comics and the novels and like every EDA, has a subscription to dwmag, his bar for media quality is on the fucking GROUND so its literally all good he just loves dr who so much. he also probably has a cosplay of literally every doctor (including the shalka doctor and like the curse of fatal death ones too)

despite this he DOES. NOT. know ANYTHING about UK culture. he is constantly having amelia bedelia type misunderstandings of what things are. (ex: beans on toast = toast, peanut butter, jelly beans / "the tube" = "big pneumatic tube like the one for salmon, except people sized" / thinks john lennon's name was actually "john lemon")

he cant tell a single british accent apart he just identifies all of it as "british accent". fitz massey is from australia and is completely unaware that he thinks they are british. it is extremely lucky that he has never met anyone from ireland because they would probably strangle him. (weirdly though: despite him identifying approximately 50% of kiwis as british seemingly completely at random (absolutely no common criteria has been found at all. not looks not age not location nothing), he identifies 100% of scottish accents as "aotearoan")

he plays ʻukulele! maybe he worked at a ʻukulele store for a time at some point, even if it was like a summer job during high school... i like to think he's what got heat into playing :')

obsessed with choose your own adventure stories. he loves them.

(fridays angst train incoming) so york grew up with the whole Prehistory Fridays Gang as his family, and when york was really really little he couldnt say "thomas" (or england or pelekane, for that matter) but would ask him if they could play "docka who" all the time, so eventually what stuck for thomas england was he became york's "uncle who"

#thomas england #blaseball #fridays #hawaii fridays #hawai'i fridays #hawaiʻi fridays #york silk #stevenson heat #fitzgerald massey #ari opinion hour #askbox

The Family Lore “How They Met”

Lore: Long ago in part of the magical world, there were dragons and witches. (and of course other creatures but that’s not the point.) They lived separately, unaware of one another’s whereabouts. One day, this quickly changed. One curious dragon, Stefon, was daring enough to explore the vast land, and came across something unusual, something different. He discovered a large hill, covered in purple grass. It felt dangerous, poisonous even, but the dragon did not fold to fear. Finding it in better interest, he transformed to appear human. He then stepped cautiously, onto the edge of the purple field, still in shock of his discovery.

“How could we have missed this for so many years?” Stefon remarked, reaching down to pluck a strand of grass. It glowed with energy as he pulled it from the earth, but seemed to dim once it was cut.

Suddenly, he felt uneasy. As if he was being watched. The dragon stood up, not moving an inch. Slowly, he placed a hand on his blade. In a swift motion, he drew it from its sleeve, spinning around with such force the trees around him swayed. To his confusion, there was a child. She carried flowers. Stefon slid the sword back in its sleeve, as the child posed no threat to him. He blinked, and the child was gone. In her place, stood a beautiful woman. She wore a big pointy hat, her midnight colored hair interrupted by a streak of white. Her most intriguing feature being her round purple eyes. The dragon could have sworn they glowed. He felt uneasy, concerned for the girl who had vanished.

“Where is the little girl?” Stefon inquired.

“There is no little girl.” The witch claimed, voice alluring and calm.

“You lie. She stood before me moments ago with flowers in her hand. What have you done with her?”

“I did not do anything to her. I am her.” The witch answered, her eyes silently asking “You want to know, dont you?”

The dragon stood confused. How could a grown woman be a child? Was it a spell? Sourcery even? Did she have him in some form of illusion? And would it be worth it to find out? Every question came with a more interesting sibling. Not a parent to answer them in sight. Before the dragon could arrange his thoughts, the witch turned around and walked into a thick forest on the brink of the grass. He hadn’t noticed it minutes ago. Was it even there minutes ago? He had no clue. The dragon head ached with the weight of his questions, begging to be answered. “What is this?” he thought. “What is happening to me? Am I going insane?” Stefon transformed, back to his original self, and flew home. He must let others know about what he’d found.

Three days had passed since Stefon had run into the witch child. (Woman? He still wasn't sure.) He had retold the story to his village, as they listened in wonder. They asked Stefon to show them the purple hill, he obliged, finding his way there once again. The townsfolk were in awe. The large colorful trees that seemed to glow, the lush softness of the grass, and the diversity of strange creatures. They had never seen such a beautiful place before. The townsfolk were filled with such awe and amazement, wanted all the beauty to themselves. So, they came up with a plan to trick the witches and take the land for themselves. The plan was simple: get close enough to attack. The people succeeded. They played the witches, lied to them, even killed some behind their backs, until their foes caught on. Finally, the witches fought back.

Eventually, war broke out between the lands. Everyday blood was shed. One day, Stefon was sent to look for invaders on their stolen land. He made it to the lookout and there he saw her. The witch. It had been years since he’d seen her. Stefon would worry late at night, how she was. If she was okay. Seeing her once again felt like meeting someone from a dream. The woman appeared even more beautiful than when they’d met. She stood with one hand propped up onto her hip, weight shifted onto one leg. Her hair was long, clothes a bit beaten but loved. She still carried a mysterious aura, but felt tired and worn. Even after all this time, Stefon was still enchanted by her looks. Her dark purple eyes captivated him the same way they had those years ago. He was absolutely infatuated. He needed to learn more about her, get to know her. He needed her. The two stood in silence. They seemed to be taking in the gravity of each other's different looks. There seemed to be a stand off of who would move first. Then, the woman slowly removed her hand from her hip, and advanced toward Stefon. He blinked. In seconds, she was standing in front of him, eyes seemingly speaking more words and feelings than he could comprehend. She reached around to Stefon’s side with one hand, and pulled at his wing, extending it.

“Who gave you permission to touch my wings?” He pulled away, the girl releasing him quite easily.

“No one. I just felt like it.” She chuckled. Her voice was soft and smooth as silk.

“Why do you appear this way and not a child? Are you trying to bait me?” Stefon refused to let his guard down. Even if he wanted to reach out to her so badly, he could not let his facade fall.

“I’m not a child silly man. I’m a woman. It was a spell, I knew you wouldn’t hurt me if I appeared small and defenseless. You want proof?” She smirked, appearing to play with Stefon like a toy. A puzzle she could solve easily, but choosing to take her time.

She walked behind him, pausing for some seconds, expecting him to turn around. When he didn’t, she prodded and poked at his wings. He finally gave in, and slowly shifted the other way. She signals him to watch. He rolled his eyes in false annoyance, but watches her slow movements carefully. Their eyes meet, and the woman’s begin to glow. She seems to shrink in size, her body proportions changing. Her hair shrinks to her shoulders, her arms bulk in size, and her clothes alter themselves to fit. There standing before him, the little girl he had first spotted.

Stefon was in awe of such a spell. He had never seen anything like it. Such a power could only come from that of a god, he thought. But she wasn’t a god. Simply a witch, a very tricky and powerful one at that. Stefon felt an urge to let others know about such power, but hesitated. If they knew about such power the townspeople would want it for themselves. They would try to take it by any means possible. Even another war. He couldn’t let that happen, couldn’t let the people harm them. But most importantly her. He couldn’t let them harm her. For a strange reason, he was drawn in by the woman. “Maybe her eyes. Their ability to draw you in at even a glance.” He thought. “Or her un-cowardice to stand so close to, and even poke at, a dragon. Perhaps this proved to me that she really means no harm.” Stefon felt the heaviest of guilt. He realized he made a grave mistake. The dragon was overtaken with a feeling of sorrow. Like a pit in his stomach. He could feel it line the insides of his body, coating him in a layer that weighed him down by tons. It was heavy and painful. Stefon could sense love and compassion coming from the witch. He felt sick to know how much harm his kind must have brought to her. He wanted it all to end. He wanted peace, happiness, but most importantly her.

He looked down at the small girl in front of him.

“I love you”

She paused, placing a finger on her lip. She flicked her hand and quickly transformed back into a woman.

“We’ve only met twice. You don’t even know my name. How could you love me?” She met his gaze, crossing her arms.

“Because I—“

“Love, according to you and your people, is war, shame, and blood shed. You don’t love me. You want my power and our land. That was your goal all along, wasn’t it? You don’t love me, you love our land, you love our power, and you love our riches.” She yawned, resting her hand on her cheek.

Stefon sighed. The woman was right. He knew nothing about her. He didn't even know her name. And on top of that, he had invaded her land, killed her people, and ruined her life. He had no right to push such feelings onto her. Still, he couldn’t resist the way she made him feel. He was infatuated with every aspect of her.

“This is true. I had every intention of stealing your land. I didn’t ask for bloodshed but my people brought bloodshed and I did nothing to stop it. Yet, I have changed. I feel differently.” He gently took her hand and placed it on his heart.

The witch could feel the fast pace of his heart. She stiffened, startled by the sudden touch. After a pause, she pulled her hand away letting it drop to her side.

“..And what of it? Your heart beats? As does mine and everyone else’s. The pattern you use to prove you’re alive means nothing.” She states, shifting her weight to one foot.

“You say your heart beats. At this pace? If so, perhaps you should get that looked at. Does your heart beat now the same way as mine?” Stephon nods at her chest, saying “go ahead.”

The witch pauses. She pretends to look for an answer, but flushes a shade of pink when she opens her mouth to speak. She closes it again, pouting. Then plays with her hair for a moment as she looks up to meet his eyes.

“You want the truth? My heart beats only like this when you’re near. But I cannot permit you to love me. You have caused pain and suffering for my people, and loving you would destroy my honor.” She says calmly, a pink color creeping into her cheeks.

“Fine. Allow me this. You don’t have to love me. But I will love you.”

The witch paused. She looked down at her hands.Then nodded. “I suppose.”

“I have another request.” Stefon steps closer to the woman.

She sighs, “Well, spit it ou-“

Stefon pulls her in by the waist, and cups her cheek with his hand. Their lips meet, dissolving her words in an instant. The woman appears shocked, eyes wide with surprise, but gives in, swinging her arms around his shoulders, pulling him into her.

Suddenly, Stefon separates them, to look the woman in the eyes. “What is your name?”

She looks surprised by the question, then breaks into a giggle. Her head hits Stefon’s chest, her shoulders shaking with laughter. Finally, recovering her senses, she raises her head to look him in the eyes.

“Now is the time you decide to ask?” She giggles again. “Astrid. My name is Astrid.”

From that day on everything changed. Stefon and Astrid saw each other everyday, talking about their interests and what they love about their land. The two knew they should’ve kept their lives a secret, they didn’t care. They talked as if nothing mattered. They grew to know each other well and fell madly in love. Some years had passed of seeing each other. Astrid was now pregnant with their child and to be due soon. It was on this day, Stefon was caught in important business. He was ordered to ambush the witches and take more land.

He resisted, tried to tell his boss it wasn’t worth it. His boss wouldn’t listen. Stefon had no choice but to obey orders. However, he alerted his wife, and told her to have the witches prepare themselves. This would not be an ambush, but a battle. He lead his troops to the soon to be battlefield, and was glad to find an army of witches on the other side. At least they would have a chance of survival. A few witches came after him, he dodged and avoided their attacks, trying not to harm them. A witch pointed to him, a ball of slight shooting his way, he narrowly avoided death, rolling sideways into a cloud of red smog. Opening his eyes and sitting up, Stefon slowly pulled his sword from his side, and stood on his feet.

“Who are you? What is this? An ambush? I’m not here to hurt anyone. I’m just following orders!” He slowly turned, watching the red smog circle him like a tornado.

A booming voice seemed to talk to him through his mind.

“Fool. Do you want me to end you where you stand?”

Something pushed him to the ground from behind, flattening him with what felt like gravity. Paralyzed, his eyes searched around him for a clue.

“If you wish to kill me I will not fight back. I will defend myself till I fall, but I refuse to hurt anyone anymore.” He shut his eyes, thinking of his wife and unborn child. “Please just, let me see my love one last time.”

The voice seemed to laugh, the smog around him shooting lightning within itself at each chuckle. “I am not like you dragons. Ruthless, uncarring, and out for blood. I came to warn you of yourself” A dark red figure slowly crept out from the smog, appearing to be made from it.

Stefon scrunched his brow. How should he be warned of his own self? What should that mean?

“What should I be concerned of?” He asked, not yet seeing the figure approaching him.

“The child you and your wife created, possesses a threat to us all. Her will, strength, and power will be too much to contain in one person. It could be enough to destroy a nation.” The voice tells. The figure hoovers itself over to Stefon's side, watching his eyes go wide.

“Our child….?” He thinks.

“What are you suggesting I do?” He stares at the figure. It had no eyes, no mouth, barely any limbs.

“Kill it.” The figure says firmly.

Stefon felt as if the air was pulled from his body. Kill his own child? He may be a beast, but he is not a monster. He began to concentrate, willing the force holding him down to loosen. Standing up, he faced the shadow.

“I won’t do it.” Stefon growls looking to the figure, in the spot its eyes should’ve been.

“You fool. Your kind will die at the hands of your own child, the world will lose its color. Everything uou know and love will come to an end. Are you willing to risk all of this for one child?” The shadow asks, still speaking directly into Stefon’s mind.

He pauses.

“Is one life worth everything?”

After what felt like hours, he finally responds. “I can’t promise anything. But I will think on it.” Shamefully, he hangs his head, wings drooping at his sides.

“Your cowardice and indecisiveness will be your purgatory. If you choose to spare the child, you must live with the guilt of knowing that the destruction of countless nations and societies will fall at your hands. You will look apon your child with fear and guilt, knowing that for letting her live, thousands must suffer.” The figure backs up into the smoke. Then slowly creeps out behind Stefon. Hearing the voice from behind him, he swings around to face it. “However, if you choose to kill the child you will face outcast from the one you love. She will turn her back on you, and you will live out your life alone. You will have to live with the pain and guilt of killing your only offspring. But you will be free of destruction. Make your choice. This is your only warning.”

Stefon blinks again. The smoke dissipates and figure is gone. He stands up, brushing off his clothes. His comrades stare at him, faces contorted with confusion and fear. Not being able to face his kind, and still rattled by what the figure had told him, he turns and exits the barren battlefield, not saying a word.

Late in the night, Stefon sneaks away to visit Astrid. He arrives at her cottage, a smell of baked goods filling the air, and a warm light emitting from the inside. Astrid’s figure appears in the door, leaning against the frame. She runs to him overjoyed and opens her arms to hug him. He stops her before she could embrace him and sighs.

“What is it love?” She says worried, rubbing his arm.

“I— I considered something awful..” He lowers his head a bit, looking to the ground.

“I consider awful things all the time, but I never go though with them. Don’t let silly thoughts ruin your day.” Astrid cups his face with her hands, forcing them to make eye contact.

“Someone, or something, a shadow of sorts, came to me during the battle. It told me.. that the child you are going to conceive is a danger to us all” His voice breaks.

“So? People talk nonsense all the time my love never—”

“I was told to kill the child.”

“What?” Her hands tremble as she slowly removes them from Stefon’s face.

“If I don’t everyone—”

“So you considered killing our child?” Her voice trembled.

“Astrid I would never do it, but you have to listen to me first!—”

“No, No! First, you kill my people. Then! You take our land! And now! you want to kill our child?! You dragons really have no sense of remorse do you? You never loved me, you had every intent to harm me.” Tears threatened her eyes as she stepped back.

Stefon attempts to step closer to Astrid, but for every step forward he takes, she takes two steps back. His eyes widen as tears drop from Astrid’s eyes.

“You can’t be serious. Astrid I’d never do such a thing. Why don’t you trust me?” His wings drop, dragging on the ground.

“How could you consider something like that? That’s your child Stefon! How shallow and simple-minded can you be?” Her voice cracks as she continues to cry.

“What?? Astrid listen to me!” He grabs her by the shoulders holding her in place.

She rips herself out of his grasp, pushing him backwards.

“No! Leave Stefon! We’re done. It’s over.” She wipes her eyes, then sends a powerful electric wave at Stefon, sending him flying into a tree across the way.

They never saw each othereach other again.

DBH part 14

Next Week at Na's school

Na finally got back to her school ground. A little while ago she would have been super annoyed, knowing that her cousin would be around. But that worry is gone now. And it shows. But she was trying not to get ahead of herself. She was on a mission and she was determent. Inside her class Le was already waiting for her on her desk. Ns asked about her findings, as a smirk formed on her friend's lips and sent something on her pal's phone.Instead of telling her directly, all she had dug out about this Yvette woman was in those files. But Le advised her that some of those have more data than others so she should check them on a pc if she wanted to read them.

Na was sure that her own home wouldnt be the best place to check on them. Especially since her mom used it most of the time. And when ever she wanted to use it, her mom would supervise her.Her parents, her mom for the most part, acted very strange that last week. She knew it was about their last fight, back at her grandpa's home, so all the more reason to play detective.

As contribution for her tech savvy friend, she gave her a dreamcatcher, knowing Le liked some old folk tales (not that she believed them, she just liked the lore behind some of these stories). Dream catchers were just one of the things she liked a ton.

Le was happy to help and even more happy after getting this cute ring with its spinned thread.Soon after Mi & T arrived aswell and started to chat about the ipcomming trip. They still didnt know where their trip would be at. Na and Mi hoped it to be a trip to some water park, Le was happy to go to some cave and explore the inside. T was happy with anything that gets him closer to his idol. So a camping trip or even a mountain climb would be more his allee.School was uneventful for the past few days since Bu was gone. But at least no one from the younger grates got targeted anymore. Lo was abysmal at his job of being the only 'bully' in their school. He was really just a lackey of the Stanton brat.

As finally recess began, the classes played on their playground & just ate their snacks. Na and her friends notice Lo sitting lost on a bench. Mi remarked that it served him right after what he did. Le & T argeed with her. Na didnt like the boy but she felt that it was not right just to avoid him. They least should ask him if he was now aware that trying to be Bu's friend was what's gotten him to this point.After hearing their friend out, they groaned in unison. They still couldnt believe that she would suggest to even feel bad for the kid. Even more so after he was the 1st boy she kind of liked.

Back then the 3 kids had a hunch that she might like him a bit more but after that one stunt with Na's med bottle, they couldnt forgive him.

Still, she got up to Lo and questioned him why he was acting like that. The young lad confessed that he thought if he would be friends with one of the kids from the Stanton family he wouldn't need to worry about being picked on. In the end he did it himself. Na asked Lo why he choose him over her instead if he really was that worried.

He shrugged, saying that he was a child of THE famous N he had heard so much about. He knows now that just bc that someone was from a super influential and amazing family, it didn't mean their sons and daughters would turn out like them. Na let him finish and countered back: „Well, i am a Stanton, and you dont see me Terrorizing our classmates.” Her words hit him hard, and he knew she was right. Na then admitted openly that she used to like him when they first met. But after he kept bulling her with her baby cousin she was done with him. Lo was shocked at her revaluation. But more so ashamed on finally realizing that he really screwed up by not being her friend instead.

But Na threw him another curve ball: „With that out of the way, stand up and bring your lunch box. We sit under the slide today.” Lo's eyes were so big, they seemed they were about to fall out their Sockets. He asked why she wanted him to eat with her group after all he had done to them. Na explained that he was just a pawn of her cousin, and knowing Bu she was certain that this boy never saw him as a friend at all. If she was in Lo's shoes she would feel pretty lonely and abandoned. So she chose to forgive him to some extend. But only if he promised her not to crawl back to her terror of a cousin if he ever comes back. No matter how many times he tries to convince them that he had changed. She knew her family better than any outsider and her cousin is not mentally able to change in her opinion.

The little boy promised sincerely. He was absolutely done with that brat as of today.

As the group of 5 sat inside the little block under their slide, the 2 girls and T glared at the new intruder sitting quietly amongst them. Mi made a snarky remark at Lo, to which Na tried to stop her from talking any further. T defended Mi, telling his friend that he could just pretend to be sorry. But Na was sure that that was not the case.

Lo cleared the air around them and confessed to the others that he really didnt want to be around Bu anymore. When askes what he meant by that, he told them what happened.

Flashback to the day b4 school

While Lo was getting ready to go out with his parents, bu bombarded him with messages on why he was not Updating him anymore for the last few days. Lo timidly reponded that he had no luck on doing his bidding. Bu got mad reading his response calling him names and threw other hurtful stuff at him. Saying that he was the worst foot soldier he could have chosen. That was enough proof to him that he was never seeing him as an equal.

After hearing his side of the story, the kids kind of forgave him. Not by much but it was a start.

After school, Na messaged her dad that she would go to a friend's house. So he didnt need to pick her up. K read his daughter's text and was more than willing to stay at home. What he didnt know was that she was actually calling C to take her to his place. She was sure that, if she asked nice enough, that he would borrow her his laptop.

She still needed to look up the information from her Le this Morning, and was hoping her step cousin would understand. C agreed to her request with no problem. The teenager had some time on his hands, after he had done his part for his trip the next few days. His dad didnt know about it, but he also didnt know that his school would be in lockdown for some days. They had to repair some rundown school equipment, thats what they were told at least.

C arrived with his driver, Cl, at the pick up spot. Na greeted him with a smile and they drove out of the school parking lot. C & Na chatted for a Little bit tto pass the time. She took a shot in the dark and innocently questioned him if he knew a person with the name of Yvette. C was puzzled by her question but he Answered her quarrie anyway: „I think i heard about her before. All i know is that she and aunt N were pretty close. I cant remember if i ever met her before either. Why? Is something going on?” The young kid brushed it off and changed the subject to something else. She would tell Him everything if she has found out enough evidence. But as of now she needed to solve that mystery on her own (although with some help from Le aswell) for now.

Finally their destination was reached and Na invited her self in. C's mom was out for some errands, so only Se and Ll were home. Aside of their staff of course. Se greeted his big brother & half cousin half heartily as they passed their living room. Sitting infront of a huge amount of paper stacks, the little boy slouched over his homework of the day. Na was disbelieve after seeing how much his teachers made him work. Not even they had that much to do for their lessons.

Without warning Ll jumped out of a vase not far away from them. That startled C & Na a bit as she came out of her hiding spot. But at the same time, a maid who was walking by, jumped in surprise. The poor woman dropped one of the trash bags in her hands. Thankfully no harm was done to the maid but now some tissuses and shredded paper from the bag were now spread on the floor.

C was about to reach her bag bit Na was quicker. She even helped the lady to clean up the mess the small tiger caused. Ll was still laughing after seeing their faces. Na shook her head at her lil pal's behavior. The woman was glad for the help she received.

Most of the staff, like this maid, knew what kind of person Na was. And they really enjoyed it whenever her was coming around.

C grabbed the tiger on her scruff, inquiring to why she wasn't with their dad. She replied her big brother that E was given the task of keeping an eye on Se for a bit. She was not told why but she was just following his orders.

After the reveal Se groaned in response. C was not sure what was going on but he was not eager to find out about it. As soon as the 2 girls picked up the trash the maid excused herself and informed C and his guest that some pudding was on the counter. So if they wanted to they were free take one.

Thanking the maid, C finally went up stairs, with Na in tow. Na asked if she could use his laptop for a little while. He turned her down bc he needed it himself for his homework. But she could use one of his old ones in the storage. He called a worker in his room and ordered the guy to bring Na to the syrage room he was telling her about.

After she found a fairly useable laptop she thanked the man and went down stairs to work on her brain wrecking mystery. And as she had hoped, Le left nothing out.

(I dont really remember much about Yv after such a long time. Lets just say she knows now about her carrier, private live and so on. But nothing about how she died. So we are picking it up from there)

She reread all of the files but no matter how much she tried she didnt find how or when she suddenly met her demise. So she still had to do her own research.

The front door flew Open and she could hear S laughing with someone. After checking the hall way, the girl found out who her aunt was with. S & (to her surprise) N still indulged in their own conversation didn't notice that they were being spied on. In a rush, Na took the laptop from the table and ran out b4 they came closer. She was not sure why she hid from them. It wasnt that out of the ordinary that she was in their home.But she had a gut feeling that her investigation should be hidden from ber family. And her gut was always right so far. So, after a few minutes, she pretended to pass by her aunts and feigned surpise as they finally noticed her.

S welcomed her back asking her how school went today. After Na quickly Answered her aunt she excused herself in pretense to help Se with his homework. S wasnt thinking much of it but N had a some suspicions what her niece might be up to. And she actually felt ashamed if her gut feeling might be right and she was not clear if she was supposed to tell Na or even her own childen to what happened to her late best friend.

The lore behind these costumes interests me :DDDD Imust know morr

ive been putting this ask off for a while cause i wanted to make a comic out of this au and didnt want to spoil it but idk if ill have the time so ill just talk about it HBZKZBAKEBD

THANK YOU SOSOSO MUCH FOR THIS ASK BTW /GEN AGAJAHAHA I APPRECIATE IT SO MYCH

ill be focusing on langues costume cause . ill be honest im still figurijg out cappuccinos!!!

so this starts DIRECTLY after pursuit/search for lost time . Roguefort had been accused of touching an object from the past which caused a butterfly effect and fucked with the timeline , and the tbd caught onto this and had them arrested. they have their own court cause like. Theyre meant to be a secret organization and they need to hold trials for people who commit time crimes but they couldnt just hold a normal trial cause that wouldnt be very secretive!!!! also disclaimer i dont know much about law HEOP

if anyone reading this doesnt know my polt fanon already i will not be linkimg my ramble post about it because i really need to rewrite it (i hate how little walnut is included) but long story short roguefort is blinded by rage and um. sets their family's house on fire and causes an event that happened when they were a child where their whole family died!! they are Not doing very well mentally at this moment and timekeeper decided it would be funny to put them on trial so she framed them for touching the object. this is all literally just tk entertaining themself (nobody knows shes behind it all)

roguefort needs a lawyer and timekeeper decides to drop into langues office and . Practically threatens to kill langues parents if they dont agree to defend roguefort. they agree and then rogueforr just fucking falls through a time rift onto the floor and they are Not doing too well. timekeeper leaves and suddenly theyre on their knees begging langue to just let them go to jail (theyre filled with unbearable guilt for doing something so awful and they dont want to admit that theyve actually killed a mansion full of people but eveeryone at least thinks they caused a disruption in the timeline,, they want to go to prison so bad because they just want to be punished they want their guilt to be relieved they want to feel like theyve paid for what theyve done and thats why they want to go to jail so badly)

langue tries to ask rogue what exactly theyre going to be arguing against but. Yeah theyre not in a state to be explaining that thankfully a time rift opens and theres a case file that drops on their desk

Theres BARELY any evidence towards rogue. i dont want to spoil the actual evidence parts (i have thought it all out) (also it would take too long to explain every little thing) and like. Langue doesnt exactly doubt that theyve done the crime but they remain optimistic because they have to prove rogue innocent no matter what. timekeeper never specified if they have to just defend rogue in court or actually win so theyre going to try their best to win

i never figured out exactly how but like . Walnut hears abt whats going to happen and runs up to langue and BEGS them to let her help and they end up agreeing since she knows so much about phantom bleu

the prosecutor in this case is chocolate graham cookie, an oc of mine (and a custom by @/incorrectinfinity). He was hired by the TBD and handles a lot of the trials involving time crimes and he is Undefeated. hes never lost. and during the trial he somehow just keeps pulling out more and more evidence that comes out of NOWHERE but apparently exists and every single time langue and walnut are able to point out a flaw. Eventually the evidence starts contradicting itself and just gets more and more confusing and ridiculous until walnut realizes Holy macaroni graham is messing with the timeline. Every time his evidence is proven useless he just goes back using this watch he has and messes with the crime scene to make rogue look guilty and thats whats been happening with EVERY trial hes done

it turns out hes just Really greedy and an asshole who will break the very laws he claims to enforce just to get more money !!! so hes arrested by the TBD and roguefort is declared innocent the end yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yippie!!!!! wahoo!!! yayyyyy ^_^ lalalallayayayay woooooo!!!!

and the tbd just. Does not care about all of rogues other crimes They have much more important things to do like keep the timeline in check they dont care if some phantom thief is stealing diamonds in a random city. they just let them go home since they werent the one tampering with the timeline LOL

honestly considering adding it to my fanon itself but. I need to work out my polt lore first LOL

Flash in the Eyes Part 2

(Part 1)

More fixed!Flynn lore? More fixed!Flynn lore

..................

Danny lay awake. He kept his eyes glued to the bedroom ceiling, studded with glow-in-the-dark stars from corner to corner. They doused him in the tiniest shimmer of ethereal light – the second source of light in the room – after his phone, which he gripped loosely in the hand dangling off the bed. The phone cast its own faint shimmer outward, a ray into the bleak night.

And he himself made for the third source of light, he supposed. That pulse of iridescent green from his eyes, which he felt like the beginnings of a headache building inside his head, had been spurred to the front by the trickle of anxiety that kept his nerves alight now at 3:30 am.

The plastic stars above. His phone glowing outward. (His radioactive eyes, pinned to Aunt Alicia.)

Danny was not allowed to forget the incident. He was not allowed to move on. Even home, it followed him.

His phone, with that dim light, was open to a single message that had been plaguing him all day. A single Facebook message, from a profile wishing to connect, with no profile picture, no history, no other friends, made day-of. “danny. this is your aunt alicia. never would of thought id be using of one these computers. wierd things. any way. wanted to apoligize about scarring you. I have a mean face maddie knows. i dont have a computer. this is in the libary in town. but hoping you culd call me on the phone. wanted to ask you somthing more. thanks. xxx-xxx-xxxx…”

Danny left the message on read. He figured it didn’t much matter that his read-receipts were on. Alicia made it clear she had no access to a computer, or likely internet for that matter. This was a message cast into the void, framed as an apology, but fishing for information that made Danny’s skin crawl to think about. Alicia could talk to his mom any time. But she had chosen not to. She’d chosen to contact Danny directly, through a means of great hassle for a woman so sworn-off technology, living so far away from proper civilization. And she’d chosen to do so after seeing that flash in his eyes.

This wasn’t like fighting ghosts. Those were pure physical scuffles which ended in him casting the creature off into the portal to (hopefully) never be heard from again. This instead was an anxiety pricking along every nerve of his skin, deep-seeded and deep-sewn from the woman who terrified him all these many years, whose connection to his ghost-hunting parents sent his brain into spirals of dread for all the what-ifs he conjured.

“You seem deep in contemplation. Perhaps I should come back later?”

Danny sat bolt-upright, spinning fast enough to see new stars spawning in his vision. He blinked them away, and sucked in a sharp inhale of breath as he snapped his head to the side.

Half-translucent, idly floating, Vlad Plasmius appraised him from the other side of he bedroom, studying Danny the way a teacher might study a struggling student.

Danny’s transformation and leap from bed came as one. His covers blew back, phone clattering to the floor forgotten.

“Plas—”

“Yes yes, ‘it is I, Plasmius’. I believe we’ve done our battle cry introductions enough times for the audience to get the point.”

“What are you doing here?!”

“Just dropping in on old friends.” Plasmius, still floating, performed a motion as if to sit. He swung one leg over the other, and reduced the miasma of pressure that his aura sent off. He was relaxed, and conversational, and this made Danny’s neck hair prickle all the more.

“All the way from Wisconsin! Yeah just, dropping in at 3 in the morning! Yeah, well, sorry but I don’t buy it, Plasmius. And I’m sending you back to Wisconsin now that you—”

“Seems we’ve both been traveling quite a bit out of state. Tell me was it a fun little vacation? A ghost hunting trip?”

“It—” Danny’s eyes narrowed. “How do you know we were gone?”

“Oh easy, I have ghost sentinels pinned on your house at all hours. They feed me this information.”

“Noted. Thanks for the tip. I’ll be sure to blast them out of existence next time I’m out.”

“I’d love to see you try. They’re masters of stealth.” Vlad flashed a grin. “I have to say I am quite disappointed to see you all back so soon – must have been a short trip. Where did you go?”

“Not telling you. Now why are you here?”

“I’ll tell you if you tell me.”

Danny bit down the urge to sucker-punch Vlad on spot. “We were visiting our aunt. Nothing special. Not everything is some big…I dunno… ghost conspiracy, Vlad. Now why are you here?”

“I was simply hoping to catch the house unguarded. You know, explore the lab, see the new contraptions that Maddie designed and Jack botched, perhaps sprinkle some cyanide in the oaf’s cornflakes box.”

“Like I’d let you--!”

“Aunt, did you say, Daniel? Alicia, perchance?”

Danny gave no response. He felt only the twist in his gut, which wrought a smile to Vlad’s face.

Vlad clapped his hands together and continued. “That is a name that brings back memories! She and Maddie were remarkably close. I heard about her constantly – given of course that I am a fantastic listener who never forgets a name or a face, unlike some fools who can’t even remember birthdays – but yes as Maddie’s best listener and best supporter, I feel like I know Alicia personally. Tell me, how is her husband Dale doing? How’s little Flynn? Not so little anymore, I imagine.”

“Don’t… talk about my aunt. That’s weird.” Danny floated backwards, coalescing a lick of flame in his palm. “Also, goes to show how much you know these days. Alicia and Dale have been divorced for like ten years now. And there’s no Flynn. You sure you’re that great a listener?”

Vlad quirked an eyebrow. “Ah, shame how divorce never seems to happen to the right people. Has Alicia tried telling Maddie it’s not too late to follow suit?” Danny unleashed his pulse of energy. Vlad blocked it with a single dismissive wave of his gloved hand. “And Daniel I am referring to your cousin Flynn, about whom I am absolutely not mistaken. Maddie and I were sophomores in college when he was born. Maddie flooded me with pictures of the boy, chubby little thing with red hair like Maddie’s. They moved her to tears, some of them. It was formative for me. The moment I realized that was the future I wished for myself, that I could bring Maddie that same joy with a family of our own. Shame how children don’t seem to happen to the right people either.”

Danny gave no response. He only lingered in the air, drifting slightly, the wafting residue of his attack trailing along his palm.

“You don’t seem so convinced,” Vlad commented.

“I’m not. Aunt Alicia doesn’t have kids. I don’t have any cousins. Unless you count whatever Danielle is.”

“A clone. You have to know the cousin thing was made up.”

“Alicia doesn’t have kids. Bottom line.”

“Did she sign him away in the divorce? That’s cold. I wonder if I could convince Jack to do the same with you.”

“Aunt Alicia divorced without kids, dumbass!” Danny swept a hand out. “She talks about her divorce all the time like it’s the best thing that happened to her, and she’s said how easy it was with just her and Dale and no one else. I don’t know how many other ways I can tell you I don’t have cousins, and I definitely don’t have a cousin named Flynn. You’re making yourself look like an idiot.”

“The opinion of a 14-year-old means very little to me.” Vlad dipped forward, closing the gap between him and Danny by a few feet. The air howled cold behind him. “However I am utterly intrigued to know what became of Flynn then. Clearly something worth keeping from you. Drowned in a pool? Carried off by a bear? Perhaps his parents made a ghost portal a decade prior to yours and he zapped it on from the inside.”

“You’re not funny.”

“I am hilarious, young man.” Vlad uncrossed his legs, still floating, but as though standing once more. “You should respond to your aunt’s message.” Vlad nodded his head to the phone on the floor. “She seems eager to speak to you. Maybe she can tell you what happened to dear little Flynn. And if you don’t, well perhaps I will stop by tomorrow morning for some tea, and ask Maddie myself what became of him. You’re welcome to be in the room when I do.”

“Hey!”

A flash of light momentarily blinded Danny, followed by a pulse of energy, and when Danny opened his eyes again he had to blink through stars.

Nothing remained in the night.

Only the ceiling studded stars above, and the glow of the phone below, and the consumptive chilling green flashing from his own eyes.

Could u elaborate about the dsmp story being bad? Not a rabid/brain dead fan, just genuinely curious and I enjoy reading people's rants lolol

oh you dont know the floodgates you just opened

a few things:

1. despite not liking the creators of the dsmp anymore, I don't actually hate most of them. [the ones that are particularly unsavory fall outside of this of course] so all that I'm saying i truly mean in a critical sense towards the story, its also just all purely my opinion as someone who enjoys fictional and fantasy stories and who like criticizing works to see what it does well and what it doesn't do well

2. for clarification I'm going to use the c![name] to indicate when I'm talking about the characters. Don't get me wrong, I think its annoying too but its the only way I'm gonna be able to write this thing without getting something across the wrong way yknow?

3. I stopped watching the streams after November 16th, [save for one Techno one but I closed out after a particularly bad story beat lol] and so all information coming afterward is all second hand from either me seeing people on twt talk abt it or people dming me. All i really know is up to dream's imprisonment and some stuff past that.

4. This is mostly aimed towards the "main" story, so stuff abt the badlands, eggpire, and whatnot are briefly mentioned.

anyways uh, i'll try to be brief but also include enough information to get why i feel the way i do on some stuff across

A. Performances Alright obviously these people are all streamers, so obviously they might not be the best actors, and hell no one is even asking that of them. However, when you're telling a story that's based on the audio with the visuals kinda coming to a second, it's gotta be pretty strong. I will say, some of the best actors in my opinion are Wilbur, Tommy, and Tubbo. I would include Ranboo but I never watched any of his story bits or story streams so I can't say much. Wilbur and Tommy are excellent in selling their character's emotions and feelings, when I watch the stream I don't feel like I'm watching an rp but an actual thought-out story yknow? And one of my favorite Tubbo examples was in the Hog Hunt video whenever Techno attacked him, he sounded genuinely afraid and I believed everything his character was feeling.

However, unfortunately, not everyone is gonna be that good. And I'm gonna say it; Dream and Techno have to be the worst out of the entire cast. I understand Techno's whole character is this monotoned badass, however, when really emotional moments hit I feel like he never lets that fall, and a lot of intense moments just ring hollow. And I'm sorry but Dream's attempts at being intimidating leave me laughing whenever I watch them. It feels like he watched that one scene from The Marriage with Adam Driver and Scarlett Johannson and said "Oh this is what good acting looks like! Just yelling." His whole "I don't give a FUCK about Spirit!" speech isn't as great as people keep making it out to be. And whenever he tries to act coy when being a villain it feels like a guy reading the script for the first time, a bit like he's trying too hard. I have more problems with his character but his portrayal certainly doesn't help.

Everyone else is fine, and I don't feel strongly either way about a lot of them.

B. The "Lore" Okay first off, I can't be the only one who thinks it's silly that people are calling the dsmp's story "lore" when it's not, it's the fucking story. Lore indicates backstory to either the world or the characters, which a lot of the streams don't really pertain to. This is a really petty section but god it's a weird pet peeve of mine.

Other than the misusage of "lore" vs "story", the actual lore and world-building of the world are so lackluster that new elements can be introduced whenever and it often feels cluttered or not well thought out at all. And here's the thing, I feel like if the writers sat down just for a few minutes to establish world rules and general history, a lot of this could be solved! but so much is made up on the spot that it starts to feel like they're grabbing at straws to keep people invested, trying to reach that next high and intense story beat without actually earning it.

C. The Egg / Eggpire This is a pretty minor note since I was only invested in the Egg storyline for a little bit, but god it's so underused that it's almost embarrassing. Bad has provided this super interesting antagonistic force that's infecting the SMP, can control people, and who one of our main character is immune to, and it's just never used or even talked about again? Now I understand if he wanted to keep it to a side storyline only, however, to introduce this borderline eldritch creature and force within the world and then never have it dealt with is so weird.

D. The Writing Oh boy this is. kinda a big one. Now I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty obvious I have a bias for the Wilbur writing over the current team [that consisting of Dream, Quackity, and Tommy mostly]. I don't this his writing is perfect by any means, the characters constantly bringing up traitors got obnoxious after a while, and writing Hamilton but in Minecraft really isn't the modern Shakespeare or anything. However, I think his exploration of characters and plot progression was a lot more thought out and well planned, like he actually had two brain cells behind the story yknow? The current team I think fails to be as emotional or even impactful, things happened too fast and my god was everything drowned in angst for so long.

Don't get me wrong, you gotta have your characters face hardships to make them reach their goal believable, but some of the shit they put the characters through just felt like too much. From c!Tubbo's constant comparison to c!Schlatt [who btw, fucking ordered his death and kept him from his friends in a nation he felt trapped in] and on a side note, i kinda really fucking dislike the "c!Schlatt dad!!" au's or the au's where c!Tubbo inherits some of Schlatt's features, it would be like c!Tommy getting a c!Dream mask after his exile, it's feels so weird yet people eat that shit up for some reason.

But god, did c!Tommy get the brunt of it all and in retrospect after his final death, it kinda feels really fucking gross. Now obviously, I'm not trusting any of these people to write decent mental health representation, but c!Tommy's PTSD and how it was explored was just degrading. [Specifically the scene in that one Techno stream where he saw the final control room from the first war, and had a flashback / panic attack where he started calling out for c!Dream. I understand this is an actual thing people with PTSD will experience, but it felt so fucking stereotypical it got on my nerves. I actually had to close out of the stream because it made me feel sick, fiction shouldn't leave you feeling that way.] And don't get me started on how they basically reused the formula from the previous arc. [Problem introduced -> Tensions rise as things start to fall apart -> Big confrontation -> Exile -> Return from Exile -> Blowing up L'Manberg, again.]

And speaking of characters-

E. Character Arcs, or the lack of them In my genuine opinion, some of these characters' arcs are so disappointing. Especially c!Tommy's. I'm not one to believe that he was a "selfish" character or anything, however, his goals were simply set on his discs and maybe c!Tubbo, he didn't have much outside that. However, L'Manberg gave him something to care about, he gave up his discs for it and he fought for it tooth and nail, I think it taught him to open up to others and trust more. It was a great character arc for him to have, seeing him still fight even after his first exile alongside c!Wilbur, to return safely to the nation that he and his found family had built.

But then his second exile happened, and I feel like all of that was undone.

c!Tommy's exile genuinely pisses me off for so many reasons. It's not that characters can't have their low points after reaching a major change or feeling like they've "completed" their arcs or anything, but it's more of the fact that it seems like he's never going to heal that feels like a spit in the face, especially to people who might have had setbacks like that before. Progress isn't linear, sometimes things happen and you get knocked back down, it can take a while to get back up, but I don't think c!Tommy's character is ever going to be allowed to get back up. From c!Dream, who pretty much was a constant abuser in his life, killing him then reviving him, and his still fractured relationship with c!Tubbo, which by the way I have a had time believing they would still be friends after all that happened, it feels like he can never get a win and it's generally kinda a shit way to treat your characters who have been abused. Of course, not all abused characters are going to get happy endings, I'm not trying to dictate that they all should, but c!Tommy deserves one and the fact that it's so obscure feels shitty.

Side note: we still don't have a canon reason to give a shit abt the discs. Like I'm sorry but without some sorta connection to the MacGuffin why should we give a shit about him getting them other than "he wants them lol". Like hell, I would even accept the classic "they were the last gifts from his parents" or something, but we still don't have a reason.

c!Tubbo also lacks a fulfilling arc as well, from someone who started out as a yes man, he has progressed a bit into having his own interests first, but besides that sometimes his character makes me so. depressed. He's easily one of the most pushed around and hated characters within the story, all for being a kid who didn't know what to do and he's in the same vein as c!Tommy; these kids can't get a break. Also, his anti-violence beliefs morphing into the "lets kill c!Techno lol!" bit was so out of place and without proper build-up it was like. what. And now he's building nukes?? god c!Tubbo makes me so sad because he's kicked around constantly and never given a chance to grow.

Another small note, I also don't really enjoy c!Techno at all. Besides the previously stated reasons of lack of emotions when they're really needed, I find his character to be weirdly pretentious. He talks as if he's constantly been betrayed and hurt but I personally, don't see it? Like, I think one of the main examples was the Pogtopia vs. Manberg war, yknow he wanted to end the government but they just reinstated it after they won = c!Techno upset. But this doesn't make sense to me because why did he think otherwise? The entire time c!Tommy had talked about taking back their nation and starting again, so the fact that c!Techno suddenly thought there would be a sudden change is, to put it bluntly, kinda fucking stupid. I don't want to say that he "plays the victim" or anything because that feels a bit harsh, but his character feels so far up his own ass that I can't enjoy him.

I have a major grip with c!Dream as well, but that's getting it's own fucking section.

F. L'Manberg This is a quick note before we get into the, forgive me for this, endgame, of this entire rant, since the next two sections are tied together. But god, L'Manberg makes me upset because it feels like they gave up on it.

Don't get me wrong, I understand that it is supposed to be c!Wilbur's "unfinished symphony", the thing that destroyed a once charismatic and widely loved man, his attempt at power that utterly ruined him. But the fact that it just got blown up in the end after everything and left to rot felt like such a waste of time. From the first war, to Pogtopia, to even c!Tommy's exile, it all felt fucking worthless in the end, and the story is actively closer to how it was when it started now more than ever. I wished it was actually allowed to exist and continue to be a peaceful place in what is a chaotic world, but no it was just snuffed out because why dedicate to this concept of finding others you can band together with and feel safe. fuck that noise apparently?

G. The Villains Now villain-wise, I'm only talking about c!Dream [during the first war], c!Schlatt, and c!Wilbur. And believe it or not, this is actually mostly positive.

Now I'm not gonna lie, c!Dream as a staring antagonist wasn't bad actually, he posed a genuine and threatening opposition to L'Manberg, even if we didn't know his real intentions or motivations as to why he was against it. He's lucky in this sense because he didn't have to be good, he had to be passable. If anything, he felt more like an anti-hero than a tyrant or traditional villain, and my god do I wish he kept this theme going forward.

Now quick disclaimer, I don't like JSchlatt as much as the next guy, he's an adult man who should know better than to joke about some sensitive topics and act the way that he does. But the one thing I'll ever give him is that damn, was he a good actor for his character.

Now here's the thing, c!Schlatt wasn't particularly deep at all. He had no real motivations behind his exile of c!Wilbur and c!Tommy other than getting competition out of the way, had no reason to act the way that he did and yknow? that's fine. The reason why he worked was from his performance alone, he was actually intimidating. When he came onto the stream and was doing his typical bad guy stuff, it was actually intense to see what he would do. Whenever he would almost catch c!Tommy back in Manberg, whenever he would begin to pressure c!Tubbo, it put you on the edge of your seat and it felt like everything would change at the drop of a pen. He's a villain to be a villain, and this works out because he's just charismatic and well put together enough to make it interesting, even without the backstory or motives.

c!Wilbur however, is much more tragic, and the best villain of the story. He essentially was the "mentor turned evil" trope and it felt terrible watching him descend into madness, unable to trust barely anyone except for c!Techno and c!Tommy. Hell, in the end I think he still cared about them both, despite losing everything. Sure, he blew up L'Manberg, but there was still a smidge of the old c!Wilbur in there made everything he did feel melancholic. His death at the hands of his father after achieving his final wish was chilling, and something I still think about.

Until yknow, Ghostbur came back way too soon to let people feel his loss as a character within that world. And then he got revived, pretty much-undoing everything that moment meant for his character lol.

And then there's the worst one:

H. Dream. I'm going to be completely honest, c!Dream is one of the main reasons why I dislike the current dsmp stuff so much. Outside of his actions as a person, the way Dream decided to write his character as this overpowered madman of the dsmp really just. destroyed any intrigue that he could've had. Perhaps this is from my growing dislike towards him, manifesting into a bias towards his character, but god I cannot fathom why people try to insist he's interesting when he has as much depth as a fucking puddle.

And here's the thing, I'm not even entirely against c!Dream being a villain, hell I think he would've been great as an anti-hero if anything. Make him sympathetic but not through c!George to get your precious "DNF" points or anything, but show him actually caring about the people within the dsmp, including c!Tommy and c!Tubbo. This would make his rival status with them just a bit more complicated, sure they're enemies, however, he doesn't want to hurt or kill them, and there's still a level of friendship there that keeps them bonded when things get super bad. This could've been super interesting to see, the first villain of the story receiving a sorta redemption arc then descending into madness as he started to fixate on being a god. This is all how I feel personally, but god do I feel like it would've been better than his current character, and hell would've worked with how he was during the Pogtopia arc, before the war that is. I'm not trying to tell Dream how to write his own character, but there are so many other ways he could've done the madman seeking to become god rather then. whatever the hell we got.

Because instead, we got this power-mad asshole who does things... because he can? And that's one of my major issues: he tries to surround his character in mystery to make him "intriguing" but it's kinda like c!Techno, it comes off as pretentious. Not only that, but you cannot keep waving around this mystery of a backstory without ever actually revealing it. I know the story isn't over, but c!Dream is effectively at his lowest point, now would be the time to reveal his backstory. But no just keep it in the dark and keep everyone guessing, that's totally fun and not at all tiring and annoying. (sarcasm, if anyone needs it)

And back to his performance, he doesn't sell this aloof, cynical and strategic warrior that has perfected the blade or some shit, he comes off as some angry guy yelling on reddit. which i don't need to tell you, isn't intimidating. It feels like he's trying to have c!Schlatt's intimidation combined with c!Wilbur's depth, but instead he's like a little brother who's trying to hard to mimic his older brother and is kinda embarrassing himself.

but other then that i dont feel too strongly abt the dsmp lol

but seriously, these are the main complaints I have abt the story tbh, I could probably talk about more but I wont because man. this is probably gonna get me in trouble if any of the hyper-dsmp fans actually read it.

#wow this is long #txt #anti dsmp #anti dream #dsmp crit #dsmp critical #yeah im tagging it i dont give a shit #dream crit #dream critical #the story is shit yo!

okay im just gonna tell u some stuff and u can choose whether or not u like it bc i am becoming absorbed w the concept and i just like ur boys a lot. so i’ve been thinking abt the meaning behind their names and why they are the way they are and i think i’ve come up w some potential parental situations? okay so argonaut bright has two moms (they adopt him at a very young age, he doesn’t no nor care abt his birth parents) and they’re both like WICKEDLY gifted scientists/science people. i think one of them does field research while the other is more of the write a bunch of theories and publish them. so from a young age argonaut is very much indoctrinated into the scientific world. and also his moms are Veru successful scientists like. his one mother has many of her theories published and the other has been interviewed dozens of times. so argonaut feels almost an obligation to be as good as his mothers. they don’t force him into the sciences or into success, but it’s that kind of legacy weighed on his shoulders that forces him into his field And into his shell :-( it’s hard to make friends when ur parents are famous scientists. and i think bc of his social ineptitude he gets sorta pushed around, which is why he’s so adamant about no one abbreviating his name. he wants to be taken seriously. he wants his own identity, outside of his mothers. he’s a bright, sure, but he’s Argonaut first.

meanwhile i think fitz is very much different. he grew up with a deadbeat dad who is like. not abusive but certainly neglectful and A Lot a shithead. makes fitz pick up a lot of the slack, tends to blame him for shit, etc. his last name actually comes from his mothers side bc her family was insistent upon it, but when fitz was younger his mom died and it rocked the foundation of the family forever. the reason fitz HATES using his first name is bc he’s named after his father and he’d rather die than be referred to as that bitch. he sorta ends up as a hippie/stoner type out of rebellion at first. like, his father always Assumed the worst of him, so why not become what he despises most? but now it’s just more comfortable for him to put up this uncaring, nonchalant front than to actually be genuine about shit. no real emotions babey! just dick jokes and pot! i think he doesn’t rlly know what he wants to do w his life and that terrifies the Fuck out of him (bc he doesn’t wanna end up like his dad) so he just ignores any thought of it by getting high and sleeping around. he can be very genuine if he wants to be, but there’s very few people in his life he would even consider being that way w. okay that’s it my lore over sorry for bombarding you

oh yeah oh yeah i like this this is shit i never bother thinking about lmao i dont think about people having families thanks for doing it for me. obsessed

i was going to draw more before posting LOL but frankly I’m impatient so like whatever

I came up w this concept for meelo’s everyday clothes and like...i like it a lot but it doesn’t 100% suit him...I’ll prolly try more stuff out and see if i can soften this design more.

MORE IMPORTANT DOE AND WHAT THIS POST IS ACTUALLY ABOUT,,, meelo’s parents sdkgjhksagjdhgkjh,,, i regret making meelo a straight up cockatiel cuz i thot they’d both have to b one and it’d b weird,, but then i had the idea to base his mom off of a goldfinch and his dad off of a white-faced cockatiel

Their names are Imalei and Rheto respectively ,, ha

THIS IS THE FIRST STRAIGHT OC COUPLE I’VE BEEN THIS EMOTIONAL ABOUT SINCE I WAS LIKE 14 I AM SUPER FUNKY FEELIN IT,,, i m so sad. I hope i get around to doing fulls of them guhhh ,, nd i have some ideas ofc

Like i said ,, i got ideas for lore...i ORIGINALLY had it under a cut but tumblr decided to be a fuckin punk. My fists are so large.

Rheto came from a line of warriors and was raised to be a leader in the highest ranks (i dont know names of ranks and i dont care to LOL). Imalei was a cuckoo and of course was shunned by everyone and lived off of scraps. Despite everything Rheto’s family taught him, he was one of the few people that were kind to her and he grew an affinity for her, eventually falling in love with her.

She felt the same for him and they started to court each other. But as quiet as they tried to be about it, it still got out to Rheto’s family and they did everything in their power to keep them apart. Not only because they themselves looked down on cuckoos, but having anyone in the family be with one, especially the heir, would “soil” the family name.

But eventually Rheto was sick of his family’s shit and was so devoted to Imalei that he went to her in the middle of the night to ask her to run away with him and elope far away. At first she denies him saying that he has a future ahead of him that she can’t ask him to leave behind, but he tells her “that future is meaningless to me if it means you can’t be by my side.”

So with that they run away with each other, leaving Hebra for the first time in their lives with next to nothing. Nothing or not, they were happy to finally be with each other without the labels given to them by others keeping them from happiness.

Soon after, they met a peddler who showed them kindness and let them work for him, which led to them eventually becoming traveling merchants themselves; running their small business with what their friend taught them. All while meeting new people everyday and traveling across Hyrule, feeling more free than they ever had. Later they had Meelo who grew up on the road with them for a short time. (Not important but while Meelo loved both of his parents more than anything, he was more of a daddy’s boy cuz he thought he was so darn cool)

Then when Meelo was 5, their cart was ambushed and they ended up being killed while Meelo hid. And like Meelo said in uh... that one chapter in EHC, two Hylians found him crying alone about two days later, still not having left his parents side. They didn’t know what to do with him, so they brought him back to Rito Village.

And Meelo was subjected to the same life his parents had escaped from, except he didn’t have the bravery to escape like his parents, or even Meezuli, did.

Another thing I was thinking of is that once Meelo came to the village, Rheto’s family instantly recognized him as Rheto and Imalei’s child. And instead of taking him in and caring for him, they were especially cruel to him because they saw him as the embodiment of Rheto’s misdeeds and his existence was an offense to their family.

So, when Meelo later bloomed, was recognized for his talents, and started to rise in the ranks, someone from the family...his uncle I’d like to think...does what he can to try to keep Meelo at a low status and is quiet about his reasoning for it.

Yeah :)

Also Meelo doesn’t know this about his parents at all cuz he was like. Too little

#WOO.#yeaaahhhh :)#this is the first time I’ve infodumped about oc or story stuff like....#publically aksjhkjgh #i usually do it in the privacy of DMs or even in unseen scribbles because i m #bbbbb EMBARASSEd ... LOL #but yeah ...if i do end up writing stuff for meelo this will def b a part of it #meelo #Imalei #Rheto #zariyo draws

I hope you don’t mind me asking. My friends are wanting to create Fauchereves for a good while, but they don’t know much about the lore. They would like to know as much as they can so they can accurately create the Fauchereves.

Sure thing! Uuuuh, not sure where to start, time to word vomit!

Their hairs always white, mostly because of the lack of pigmentation in it, however they CAN dye it with stuff they find. Mud, Berries, Blood, ya know whatever. For a hunter that can be common to color it for camouflages, but usually they like to keep their white hair showing so they can recognize each other from a distance

Theyre very much pack beasts, they always have a tribe and its kinda rare (and not good for them) to be out on their own. Very social beasts are they, so much so they dont mind having other creatures join their group or even adopt pups of other species if found abandoned.

That said theyre very nomadic, they got that wanderlust and the want to experience new things. So usually theres at least one big travel in a fauchereves life before they decide where they want to settle down if they want to. They usually head to a new place, establish a community, then when its fully figured out, whoever wants to keep going can keep going and those who want to stay behind can

Their tails have a glowy fur fiber on them, but when they have a mate for life, its a mating ritual to comb/pull out those fibers (something about the other being their light in their life) its more tradition than anything, but held very sacred. so if theres a fauchereve with still a tail glowing but has a pup, mmm theres gonna be some discrimination of them being very irresponsible. UNLESS they adopted the kid cuz parents are gone, then its like ‘oh dang that sounds hard lets help you with that-’. Not even these beasts are immune from discrimination

Their eyecolor gambit runs usually from grey to blue, theyre not the most colorful things out there. Which is where their clothes can usually show that off instead, known for being very heavily patterned

All of them have cheek marks with different symbols on them. Thats their name as it were. Fauchereves tend not to have names, usually if you talk to a crowd and be like ‘HEY YOU’ the one youre talking to’s ears will twitch and be like ‘what me?’ but if youre talking about them while theyre away from you, youd usually call them by their cheek from left to right, like Diamond-Star or Circle-Tear. Saying their ‘name’ to them to their face is the same effect of your mom calling you by your full name when youre in trouble. Doesnt feel very good.

That said about the symbols, theyre inherited from your parents. Your left from your mother and your right from your father. Yea sometimes that means some people have the same combos but hey, so do normal names sometimes. But another difference is they have different color tints as well, again running the gambit from black to blue. So while two people might have Diamond-Circle, one could have a grey diamond and a white circle while the other has a white diamond and a blue circle. When you have a mate, there’s a chance of the marks altering (people think its due to the mating ritual of tearing out the fur fibers does something to them) where they equal out to each other. Such as, one black symbol and one white symbol, post mating ritual theyre both grey. It’s a strange phenomenon that they dont entirely understand, but some of them see as like, physical evidence like a wedding ring that theyre the same color. Course sometimes ya just have the same color, that happens sometimes, but still.

Their hair are like horses in that it grows from the spine, like a mane, however the difference is it goes aaaallll the way from their head, down their spine and down their tail. Usually the tail hair doesnt grow as fast but it can if you dont cut it for like 100 years. So if you want you want a nice haircut, best groom wisely. You can still shave your head and yet still have a long spine mane since its not all connected to the head. Common practice in hunters is to keep the spine mane very short or shaved down so predators cant have something to grab on to, but leave short hair on top to still show themselves fellow fauchereves to their group

All of them have sharp black claws they can grow out willingly, for a normal fauchereve its not much, but for hunters theyre trained to grow them very fast. One of the signs as a pup they have a good chance to be a hunter.

Ah yes, tribe functions speaking of. There’s usually an Elder (despite the name, sometimes the elder can be younger than a lot of the others, just means leader) who’s the leader, duh, the Hunters who go out and get the food along with keeping the peace amongst the tribe (so kinda the police should need be), the caretakers who watch over the pups and the sick, the tailors who go find stuff around to make clothes, furniture, whatever supplies (their most popular and important job is the clothes though so thats why their title is tailor and not seamstress, also guys can have it too), and while those are the most important roles, there can be other roles depending on the tribe such as cooks, beast tamers, general sales, magic users, so on and so forth. Magic users is a rare role, but one that is very good. Not all fauchereves are equal, some have more talent than others in some categories. Take Reve, he has a huge gift in shapeshifting, something that cant be so easily done with normal fauchereves, so hed be considered a magic user. Some other magic user traits can be learning an element, being SUPER smart like, hyper intelligence, portal making, and so on.

That said, if Reve was in a tribe and never was abandoned, he would have been a caretaker in his tribe. His dad was a hunter and his mom was a tailor. that’s where his hats from, from his mom and from her mom and her mom and so on. A family heirloom of tailors as it were. I guess he broke the cycle in more way than one.

Thats all i can think of on the top of my head, if you have any more feel free to send it my way!

🎫 here's a gush pass! feel free to gush about whichever f/o you want, however much you want, then send this ask to 3 other selfshippers!

oh man, thank you jsjsj ive gotten a few of these but ive been too anxious to actually go off ab my f/o but, lets fucking gooooo!

can i talk ab the actual animation of the source material is that allowed?

they gave us this but we ended up with

WHICH LISTEN- I enjoy n love regardless. I just find the contrasts in phases fascinating and funny. I loved his appearance in phases 1 and 2; what a fucking iconic character design. The animation is so endearing and amazing- the thicker lines, the fluidity, the range. Like the first gif that shows the vibrations of the vehicle in his shoulders/shirt? The simplistic art style was nice and even if hes Hard On The Eyes, I'm like 🥴 ok ugly ❤.

Not like the newer mvs are any less quality content - its nice to see the use of thick and thinner lines and there's definitely a different feel to it - more child friendly or easy going? Idk how to explain it. Murdoc as a character is still very, Not Child Friendly, and Im always like :cursed emoji: when someone says that their 14 year old watches their videos like help, his dick is out in at least 3 dif vids (censored ofc but man).

They definitely lost me after the 4th phase though and many people argue that the band/music lost its meaning, which i can honestly agree with (esp when they didnt name officially name 4, 5 and 6. Im p sure ppl refer to 4 as We Are Still Humanz).

I was never an avid/active fan of keeping up with the characters and didnt really think they had any story anyways, i was like "feel good inc is sexy. melancholy hill's a banger" so honestly, finding out that these apes actually have lore was fun.

Murdoc being the given this tragic backstory made my eyes Zoom, and ofc I was like "oh youre funny looking and sad. I want you ♡." In a weird way, I take a lot of comfort that 'we both have shit parents' and 'no one really thought we'd amount to anything'. to be fair, i haven't accomplished anything yet, and even if hes a bunch of pixels who i know doesnt really exist, its kind of motivating bc he never gave up? A literal quote from him being "If there’s a dream in your heart, never let anyone tell you you’ve got no talent. Get out there, embarrass yourself, and prove to the world you’ve got no talent." With how many failures hes faced he never stopped trying to prove himself worthy of attention and fame and love, which is ambitious and kind of intimidating with how much confidnece he has.

Hes a complete bastard of a man and not even close to being a good person. He's definitely complicated but can be boiled down to "just an abusive asshole", which, hey, fair. I hate the way he treats 2D, its so toxic and terrible. Honestly, its inexcusable and he needs to apologize, grow and learn a LOT and god knows he needs therapy.

I think the most tragic thing ab his character is that he basically ended up like his father and to some extent, he acknowledges it. His bad habits and behaviors stem from abuse and neglect which doesnt excuse his actions but, "man hands on misery to man." I feel like theres a haunting part to his whole life - we don't know much about his mother and brother but from assuming things, I know they weren't innocent, clean, or soft spoken, let alone, kind. I think he has a "It runs in the family" mentality and gives into it bc there's no use in running from something so deeply engraved within him.

But as a man of contradiction, hes shown to care, despite "hating everything, including himself". To be short, his father was a failure and a man thats never worked for his own money, so he contradicts that and escapes that part of 'failure running in the family' by forming Gorillaz. I do think theres something way more ab his character in that regard. I think theres a lot that he needs to work on but he's escaped a part of that mindset, and his 'Plastic Beach'. I wonder what theyre gonna do with valley of the pagans thing.

I guess as a band, theyre not gonna show a lot of "behind the scenes" stuff like that. We wont know if he ever gets help, or apologizes, or even feels sorry - its up to us to decide which is a safe game to play on Their Behalf.

People are upset that hes actually cleaned up a bit and is shown to be nicer bc they miss having that disgusting, cruel man which again, I understand. He has always been the antagonist to the entire band. But as someone that likes to see people happier n mellow (or, boring) rather than doing shit and compensating for their depression, its nice to see that type of development (or downgrade, depending on how you see it).

This could be Their (read: jamie and damon) way of being lazy by making him 'mellow out w/ age' or whatever it is. It definitely seems to woobify his character and intentions but well, His Main Goal, Was To Blow Up. And Act Like He Dont Know Nobodaaayyy argargarg and guess what? He's already made it- he's successful, he's rich, he's famous, he's adored. Now what? Maybe this is just his way of taking it easy from here on out - who knows.

Gorillaz definitely took a turn after all the brand deals so it lost its meaning (since one of the phases had a 'fuck capitalism' message) and with that, Murdoc is no longer allowed to be the stank bitch hes was always meant to be, no more obvious sex and drugs, for the new gen 🥴 ironically a lot of songs 'today' are always complained ab being ab sex, drugs, and whatever, but they def needed to step on the breaks when Money/Companies got involved. So here we have The Wigglez 😌💕

ANYWAYS, I LOVE HIM LOTS, HAVING MANY THOUGHTS

#please dont ask why i have these saved 🥴#ask reply #oh this ones long haha sorry #gorillaz rambles #gushing #modi!!!#thank you for this i needed to say sumn semi coherent

hxh....MUSICAL

as soon as i saw that a hunter x hunter musical from the year 2002 starring the OG 99 VAs existed, i knew i has to see this...so i set out and watched the nightmare of zoldyck (i would later find out that theres ANOTHER musical, which i plan to watch too)

luckily its all on youtube subbed! in 360 quality...oh hell yes lmao

ok i logically knew this was gonna be a musical but seeing the characters singing is like. a lot. THIS IS SO STRANGE

musical illumi is played by a woman which is interesting. shes got a good voice

i think they just panned to killua but it was so pixelated that i legitimately could not tell hvbadjkfbjkdsf

i have no idea whats going on vhbajdfhhajsdf theres a bunch of people falling over on stage...i think theyre dying? who are yall

oh shit backup dancers?

lmao illumi killed the backup dancers rip.

oh that IS killua lol. s/o to the 3 pixels that are visible

is this gonna be the zoldyck arc but a musical? lmao

OH WAIT IS THAT KURAPIKA AND LEORIO? i cant even tell lmaoooo

i can 100% tell these are fan subs lmaooo i love bad fan subs SO MUCH it makes a viewing experience even better

this is p much just a musical version of the manga/anime so far lmao i love it

the way theyre spelling zoldyck is. a lot

is every character gonna get an intro song. how much of this musical is singing and how much of it is dialogue cause theres defs a range w/musicals

lmao i love gon leorio and kurapikas interactions even here, they rlly feel like two parents being dragged around by their energetic kid

i cant even see the set at all so im just gonna assume theres like, the gate and all that behind them, but it all just looks like a dark wall to me lmao

i love singing exposition

HISOKAS IN THIS???????????????????? oh my lorddddd

OH i see now in the description that hes played by the 99 VA too lmao i love it

wow musical hisoka rlly b like [writes himself into the zoldyck family arc]

oh here we go w/the song introducing the zoldycks

damn grandpa got mad flips

this is. wild

its especially wild that alluka isnt here bc she like...didnt even exist yet at this point in the story

zoldyck family sitcom wow

i see the gon/killua romance is still going strong in the musical

oh so they did all the training and goin thru the door stuff offscreen lol

this is actually doing a pretty good job expanding on the canon stuff from this arc lol so props. espec w/showing more of killua being scared of illumi

oooh this is interesting actually, this is like....an AU where illumi is present during this arc, and how that would change things. And Also They Sing

the zoldycks are so fucked up lmao

also i feel like theres some ‘early adaptation’ character weirdness going on, like w/the grandpa, who seems much less intense here than in the anime (at least after seeing him in the yorknew arc), and milluki, who seems like a gag character here lmao

oh my god lmao is hisoka here to visit illumi?

the hilarious irony of illumi telling killua that assassins cant have friends, then going to hang out with his good buddy hisoka

kurapika is the only one here with a brain cell (for now)

ah yes hisoka and illumi doing their nasty murder flirting thing

HISOKA IS SO NASTYYYY I HATE HIM tho his actor is very good and smarmy

OH its canary!! is there uh. blackface goin on there. i cant actually tell, what with there being only 3 pixels present at any given time

really love how half of this is just the regular arc but with the characters singing abt stuff during it

the lady playing killuas mom has a rlly good screeching voice jesus lmao

ohh i love musical fighting so much

the sound fx on kurapikas sticks are cracking me up

butlers got mad cartwheels

oh theyre doing the coin thing! this is so out of order lmao

oh my god i love that theyre doing like, sick dance moves while coin flipping

ah the zoldyck messenger hawk makes an appearance. i love that thats canon and real

the 12 yr old gay romance is REAL even here

the subs seems to be translated very literally, especially in the songs, so its honestly not clear what theyre even singing about vbsjkdjhfskjfd

gon and killua singing about each other is adorable tbh. also i love how silva asks killua abt his friends and killua is like yeah i made some friends. and then only talks abt gon ahjsduhfabhskdf gayboy

ok so the zoldyck arc is like, ending, but theres still an hr of musical left so whats even gonna happen lmao. also where did hisoka go

oh no the audio and video arent synced anymore huvbhjadfbhjsakdf

oooh they asked canary to come w/them, thats cool

theyre having a party??? hvbajdsfbhasjkdf

oh shit??? what did zeburo just do to killua??? WHATS GOING ONNN lol this is UNCHARTED TERRITORY

OH GOD IT WAS ILLUMI. SHOULDVE KNOWNNN

omggg all their formal outfits....everyone cheering wildly at kurapika is cute

LEORIO AND KURAPIKA DANCING.....

the fact that both killua and gon are taller than kurapika in this is rlly funny

the idea that the zoldycks are also highly trained ballroom dancers is super hilarious to think about, even moreso when you consider how isolationist they are

seriously grandpas got mad flips

also i love leorios outfit

this feels like a filler arc tbh. and i dont mean that in a bad way!

leorio trying to get kurapika to go to the hot springs with him lmaoooo

HVDSJBJFSBFJHS HISOKAS BACK. IN DISGUISE. OH MY GOD

hisokas stage presence is fantastic gotta say

damnnnn dad zoldycks got mad flips too. guess it runs in the family

props to the actors for managing to keep their wigs on while flipping around like that

its so fuckgin funny thats hisoka just introduces himself as illumis friend, when this whole arc is all about how assassins Cannot Have Friends

so hisoka is just here trying to get family approval too huh

gon miming a fishing trip was adorable and realistic...sometimes u get skunked and It Just Be Like That

leorio is rlly tryin to shoot his shot w/kurapika and kp is just Not Realizing huh vbjsdufjbsaukjf

wow leorio breakin the fourth wall like that lmao

wow so illumi hacked killua. rude

hisoka and illumi are lowkey hilarious in this

leorio is rlly sending every signal possible to kurapika and kp is like. No

leorio: killua is a scary murder baby, but also im adopting him

kurapika singing abt how weird it is having friends after dedicating their life to Revenge(tm) is v on brand

HISOKA OH BOY

LMAOOOO HISOKA IS SUCH A FUCKING SNITCH I CANT

no wonder illumi didnt wanna tell him abt his evil plan lmaoooo he fucked up even telling hisoka that much clearly

the zoldyck siblings just staring at hisoka in confusion bc How The Fuck Did This Clown Get In Our House hvbhjdksfnjksdf

you can tell the subs are off when the audience is cracking up but you dont even see a joke there lmao

oh my goddd hisoka using bungee gum to make everyone dance is. hilarious

oh my god synchronized dancing

HVBSHDJFBJDSKFHBSJ illumi doing a dance routine independent of hisoka and hisoka being like ????? vhbjsdkhfjkjsdnfkj THIS IS HILARIOUS

supremely funny to me how illumi makes such a big point abt assassins not having friends, yet hisoka is announcing himself as illumis friend w/every given opportunity hvbhajdkdfhjskf

this feels so filler arc i love it. thats so charming to me since the 2011 anime doesnt have any filler (from what i can tell?)

kurapika and leorio rlly feel like killuas parents here lmaooo

this is all dramatic but kurapika keeps repeating what leorio says and its cracking me up hvbajhkdhfbjsk

i lov this fambly

ah, even in the musical illumi is still such a manipulative bastard

i feel like the quality just went down EVEN MORE, which i didnt think was even possible hvbhjkdsfskf. at least the audio is synced w/the video again

illumis got a good evil laugh

this is the exact brand of dramatic angsty filler content that i was hoping for in this lmao i love it

oooh more zoldycks

honestly this is more how i expected the zoldyck arc to go in canon hbshjdkujfkjsfdas

dramatic gay filler angst + somewhat incorrect fansubs = perfection

OH SHIT CANARY

BRO DID SHE JUST DIE???? OMFG

the subs keep calling illumis power ‘spells’ which seems to imply that illumi is some sort of assassin wizard rather than a nen user hvbsudhfkjsdjgf

come to think of it, what point was the manga at when this musical was written? it has to be pretty early on, maybe just as nen was being introduced

gon boutta go ham on illumi...Get His Ass

OHHHH GON DOING THE ICONIC ARM GRAB....ARM GRAB REPRISE

gon doin the good ole reliable shounen ‘punch your friend and yell at them so they snap out of a funk’ lol

i do love how typically shounen this is. friendship speeches! but delivered by SONG!

illumis main hobby is butting in at the worst possible moments

HISOKAS BACK OH BOY

hisokas playing card blocked killuas hit hvbhjakdhsfjnakdsf thats like in jojo when those manga blocked dios knives

wow the whole zoldyck squad is here

ooh forbidden zoldyck lore lmao

killua: mom u guys are lame im joining this much cooler family now. bye

i love how hisoka is just weirdly lurking around for all this zoldyck drama lmao

silva seems like such a bro in this but i feel like hes rlly not like that in canon vhauidfhbsjhdkjfk

oh nope there he goes w/the evil laugh lmaooooo

sorry dude but leorio is his dad now

gon sniffing zeburo hgbajkdfshbjkdfjnsjdk oh my god

oh hell yeah some synchronized main character finale dancing

actor showcase! everyone loves kurapika which, same

ah so the director of this musical also directed the sailor moon musicals, which i didnt know existed but of course that exists...thats funny considering the hxh mangaka is married to the sailor moon mangaka

anyways that was fun honestly!!!! i fuckgin love musicals, and musical adaptations of non-musical source materials can be like, SO different tonally, but this honestly felt like a fun filler

it was really interesting seeing something based on the canon from this early on - as i said above, some of the characterizations (like the zoldycks) seems a bit different than we’re used to, but others were spot on - like hisoka only showing up intermittently to sow chaos and do nothing else vhjkadhbfhkjdsfnj im assuming the yorknew arc hadnt happened at this point, but hisokas actions in this musical were hilariously similar to how he acted in the yorknew arc, so, props.

plus it was cool to see the ‘what if’ factor w/hisoka and illumi also being there, espec illumi interacting w/killua bc its so wildly different from how killua reacts to any of his other family members - hes clearly scared of illumi, in a way he isnt w/anyone else, and that was done well here w/the scene where illumi threatens killua’s friends to get killua to listen to him

also the angst was honestly great, and there was some REALLY sweet wholesome parts that i loved. and the music wasnt half bad either!!

i think the VAs did a great job playing the characters - hisokas VA was especially great (and i really loved kurapika too). gons hair was not very similar to how it looks in the show so it was a little more obvious that he was being played by a grown woman, but still a great performance.

anyways fun times, i love musicals and this was a fun ole 2000s filler shounen musical adaptation

#lj watches hxh #well. hxh ancillary material #also we're almost done w/the chimera ant arc but i still gotta edit up my heavens arena stuff hvbhjsdfbjdskgs epic fails #i have all my chimera ant liveblogs ready to go but i dont wanna post things outta order Ls #hxh

Dr. Lanik: No. I don’t want her near any of you.

connor: hes got a point

Maggie<3: Have you never, in your life, had to bring her to a doctor?

Dr. Lanik: We use East Mercy so that you all keep your noses out of my life.

Ethan Choi: Sometimes. He likes to be in the loop.

Ethan Choi: I'll put them in your lockers. My shift is starting so I'm turning my phone to silent.

FreeWilly: sorry!

Nat: Congrats again, you two, this is huge!

April: ^^

no-ah: Will we get to meet her, or will she be a secret like Laniks daughter?

Bekker: You'll all definitely get to meet her, but let's not do so much at once? Adjusting to a new home is hard, and from what the adoption agency tells us, she's had a rough go of it.

no-ah: Of course!

Queen Elsa: No little girl could have a better home! Congratulations on your daughter and I wish you really good luck. If you ever need help, we're all here!

Dr. Lanik: She's about eight, right?

Bekker: Yes

Dr. Lanik: If she needs help adjusting, let me know, and maybe Emma and I can help. She was about that age when I adopted her.

connor: the Lanik lore we are getting today omg

Dr. Lanik: You'll both be great parents, and @OtherBekker don't hesitate to let me know if you need extra time off. This is a big deal and you shouldn't have to stress about work when you should be worrying about your family. @Bekker I'll also ask Dr. Latham to be lenient with you as well.

Other Bekker: thank you from both of us <3

connor: who knew lanik had a heart.

SPOILERS!!!

Charmed 02x02 Review

Y'all part of me just can't. Like the excitement and energy over this last episode is too much to keep inside. I am super ready to burst and super excited for episode 3. But I am just gonna say that overall I thought this episode was superb 8/10 only because I am saving my 9 and 10. But if I could I'd give it a 9 out of ten. There was only like a couple things I was nitpicky about and it's pretty standard tv logic stuff that most people overlook so dont come at me for it. So I am just gonna start like I always do except I cant just pick 3 likes and dislikes so I am just gonna list my likes some of the nitpicks and then some episode highlights.

SPOILERS AHEAD

Things I liked:

1. Hacy development

So no secret I am a hacy fan and I pretty much love any hacy content the show will give us but I really thought the show did so well this episode.

Originally, I thought the show was going to explore Macy's feelings through Dark!Harry, and in a way they have revealed them using Dark!Harry (Season 1 ended with us not sure if Macy felt anything for Harry, but knowing he had some feelings for her). I was worried there may be less hacy moments because they would keep most of the interaction between Dark!Harry and Macy. Even had me scared that Macy may be falling for Dark!Harry and not Harry proper. But no, they gave us Genuine Hacy.

The awkwardness of the interactions after the dream. That car ride was hilarious with the map and the radio (harry is still super at comedic relief in club and in car)

Harry's concern over having done something wrong

The looks when checking each other out.

Making each other laugh and encouraging each other.

Harry trying to save that witch and Macy being concerned by what it would

"I know Harry"

I mean it wasn't just tension. There was some fluff thrown in. Harry telling her to celebrate the victories and looking at her proudly. Which brings me to item 2.

2) I love what rupert does with his eyes between the two Harrys. Real harry (as macy put it) is so harmless looking. Those puppy eyes are adorable and rupert makes sure to have then turned up all the way when being real harry.

The only time Dark!harry makes soft eyes (well sort of) is the first time we see him with Macy, the initial moment in episode 1, and then when Maggie goes for a hug in this episode. He is just so taken off guard by the affection that his pretending-to-be-Harry-face slips and his eyes kind of go wide and they arent so narrowed and focused. Which makes me think he has not been hugged often or at all . . . That's sad. Then the switch when Maggie backs away. The eyes narrow again and he gets all mean. Just love that rupert can do things like that to give both characters distinctive enough feels that you can tell that dark!harry is acting.

3) Mel and Maggie bonding

So I really do hope that we get some Macy and Mel bonding, but I am happy anytime the show can deepen the bonds between the sisters. Maggie and Mel have a bit of a complicated relationship even though they grew up together. I mean especially from this episode we see and remember that Mel was the big sister for most of her life. She protected Maggie and seems to have acted like a second parent. It is sad that there dad really just turned out to be a bad dad. No reason behind it no, issues with Marisol other than apparently the ones he created on his own (which I will get into on my nitpicks). The fact this was just a loss for Maggie, and not just a loss as in she was the only one to feel something when Ray died but a loss of memories she thought she had and an idea of who her dad (a piece of her past), was sad but it actually gave us further insight into mel and Maggie's dynamics. First season we knew the rift between mel and Maggie was over Mel's obsession with and Mel's expectations of how Maggie should have acted and behaved. I think a lot of us chalked it up to Mel being controlling and having the oldest child attitude, but I think now we see there is more there. Mel seems to have spent a lot of time protecting Maggie and biting her tongue about certain aspects of thier lives and in a sense making sacrifices for her. So it makes sense she would expect the same from Maggie, but at the same time Maggie didnt know, and even if she did thise were Mel's choices and Maggie doesnt owe her anything for them.

Knowing that we can see how it is so easy for riffs to form between them which make the start of this season make more sense to me. Because Maggie wants to live her life and is a trusting and positive person. Mel expects a certain level of loyalty and commitment and has a different idea of what that looks like compared to Maggie. On top of there general personality differences it makes sense they all that would culminate into a rocky relationship prone to communication difficulties and tifs. But I love that they are starting to acknowledge those things and rebuild. Last season it was them just getting over feeling abandoned by each other after the death of Marisol. This exposed deeper roots of the initial rift. I liked that.

4) I love that the Maggie and Mel still have Magic and even though though the active powers are gone they arent defenseless. They just need to be resourceful. I actually like this a lot and I feel gives the writers a lot of room to play with creative ways for the ladies to save other witches.

5) demon lore!!!! Okay so while season 1 seems mostly thrown out the lore actually explains season 1 demons better.

One of the issues I had was that there did not seem to be a synchronized front with the demons and they never explained why even though Alistair claimed to be a hotshot the only people he had working for him was his family.

In the OG in first season before lore got expanded) demons and witches werent organized. Demons sort of acted on thier own for thier own purposes and witches seem mostly solitary except for occasional get togethers on important events. Later on in the series demons got an organization system (triad) then later one ruler (the source of all evil). Witches seem mostly solitary except for now the elders who assigned white lighters watched over them and placed rules on magic. I dont think people really remember the drastic shift in lore and the plot holes OG had because we generally liked the places it was going. So I am kinda on that page fro the reboot.

It flipped the script. Witches are or were the organized bunch both self ruling and ruling over the magical community. Demons were at war with each other and all had different agendas so makes sense that the Caines were mostly on thier own.

I like this idea of there being different general types of demons and a hierarchy. I do wonder if that will limit then in the long run, but assuming they can be creative with the categories they have defined I am not too worried. I am excited to get more info on demons now.

6) the new love interests. I love Mel's new love interest. So different from Mel and her previous love interests. I reserve judgment until we get more interaction but I am liking her so far. Jordan is interesting I am actually liking the build up of thier relationship and will be nice to see maggie start off slow and make friends with him first. I wasnt a huge parkerita fan but I did not dislike the ship. But one of my general blehs is love at first site between teens. The way parker and Maggie began was just off putting to me but they were nice together when they were together honestly. This will be a good venture into perhaps an adult relationship or at least on that doesnt begin with as much drama. That said she is dead and will have to hide her identity from him soo....

Now on to the nitpicks:

1) Ray's characterization.

Okay so I dont mind that Ray turned out to be just a crap dad. It happens. But there are things we know that Ray probably didnt that makes us wonder why marisol even got with him and married him.

A) we know Marisol continued an affair throughout her marriage to Ray. Even assuming Ray was just a crap husband and father, why did marisol get with him and marry him if he was so good at alienating everyone he met. I wouldnt think he was just a one night stand that Marisol decided she would have to marry after getting pregnant. I would think she would be above that.

B) did he even know about magic. Was his whole relationship and life with Marisol and the girls just based on secrets, ignorance, and not being around?

I mean for B it is fine if it was I just would like to know for sure what it was versus just guessing. But I assume like Maggie I am just gonna have to move on from this

2) the house lights and the job application.

Okay how does the house have power and and water without the city noticing? How can maggie apply for a job with no social security number? I mean I assume because she is dead she cant use her real info. Or she could but wouldnt that make it easy for demons who may think to infiltrate government records to find them? I mean this is a nitpick and can be explained away by Magic, but still it was on my mind.

3) the mysterious figure at the end. Okay y'all, I assume it is Dark!Harry. But the more I thought about it, the more I got angry that they didnt show his face. Basically, that is leaving room that it could be someone else like one of the other new love interests or someone we havent met yet. I dont like that. If it is Dark!Harry we've already met him and know he is after the girls so most likely would be working with the demons. So showing him wouldnt be a big deal. But keeping the figure hidden means leaving that door of possibilites open. This has me paranoid now. Again nitpick. I'll get over it. Some people might like that.

Episode Highlights:

Comic relief Harry. Getting knocked down when orbing into the club and not being able to hold a map.

"I'll put a hex on you."

"I'm formidable!" You tell him!

Harry's wonky orbing in general. so confused so turned about.

Maggie being able to tell that Dark!Harry was not Harry. "Those are Harry's charges and family you cant fool them ya creep!!!"

Invisible mel putting a shovel to the side of Dark!Harry's face. "Yess!!!!"

Harry's puppy dog eyes when Macy says all she needs is a look to know who the real Harry is
