AHHHHHH
#this post brought to you by: me#i. applied for a preapproval letter for a mortgage yesterday. and spoke to a realtor to start finding me houses#i want to move several states away which further complicated things. but the houses there are CHEAP#like under 100k for a 2 bedroom move in ready#anyways i got approved for 80k with a 20k down payment. and im FREAKING THE FUCK OUT#and because i got that pre app letter i have a loan officer calling me today to talk#and we literally work at the same bank so i can SEE that hes active and hasnt read my message#even though its been 45 minutes. KEVIN MESSAGE ME BACK. IM NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO FOCUS UNTIL I DO THIS CALL#AHHHHHHH S C R E A M. it might happening!!!! i might be finally.mov8ng out in a few months!!!#i mgiht be a HOMEOWNER by the end of the year#i have been saving money for this since i was. 16? 17?#ive had a good well paying job since i was 18.#AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH#once i have a house then i start job searching in that area. and start getting really serious about LEAVING my very good job#which is soooo scary. this job was supposed to be my lifelong career. but then everyone fucking moved to other states and left me behind#so theres no point staying here.#i might never have this kind of job security again.#but also my realtor said that theres a lot of bank jobs in that area so maybe itll be easy to find something#on the fence on if i tell my parents that im Making Moves right now#on one hand its hard to not talk about it becuae im STRESSED TF OUT#but on the other hand when i tentatively mentioned the state i want to move to#richard started yelling and swearing el oh el#might be better to wait and avoid the tension as long as possible?#but also i dont know how they can stay angry when its literally my best option#the other places where my friends live either have 0 opportunity and high housing prices. or are even moe liberal than where im going#idk. why do half of my problems come down to “my parents will be mad” like im a 12 year old or something. shit fucking sucks#this is why i want to get out of here#also it feels weird and bad to talk to my friends about how stressed i am about buying a house when all of them are stressed about#not being able to make rent or something. my problems feel like a brag in a really odd and shitty way. but hey!#if this works out maybe ill start being stressed about how im going to make my mortgage payments! :') yay!

wait wdym dc didn't stick with Red Robin for Tim [and the de-aging thing?] what are they calling him if not RR?
He's been Robin again since 2019 😬 it's a bit more complicated but that's the gist of it.
Okay so Tim became Red Robin in the 2009-2011 series of the same name, back in the post-Crisis timeline. He was supposedly 17 at the time, by official records, and I believe he was still supposed to be 17 when the universe was rebooted with Flashpoint in 2011? (Although this doesn't really make any sense with respect to jamming the huge number of events that happened while he was Robin into like four years, if he was supposed to have become Robin at 13; he should probably at least be 18 if not 19-20).
The Flashpoint reboot took us into the New 52 (much beloathed), where nearly everyone was de-aged to some extent to keep Bruce Wayne and his generation from getting ~too old~, and also Tim Drake was mangled into a completely different character who had never been "Robin"; he'd been "Red Robin" right from the start of his vigilante career. He was de-aged to 16 for the New 52 Teen Titans series.
Tumblr media
Teen Titans (2011) #0; as you can see, this version of Red Robin kept a version of the bandoliers and gave Tim a fancy new functional wing cape that he could fly around with.
Next, Rebirth in 2016 was a partial reboot that brought back some aspects of the post-Crisis timeline; tbh I'm not an expert on this period. What I do know is that Tim mainly appears in James Tynion IV's run of Detective Comics that ran from 2016 to 2018. During this period Tim was still called Red Robin, but he'd basically reverted to a Robin costume, with only the silly doubled "RR" symbol identifying him as not ~actually~ Robin winkwink nudgenudge, and as I understand it he was mostly back to functioning as Bruce's partner.
Tynion's run ends in Detective Comics #981 with Tim telling Bruce that he's going off to Ivy University. (He's totally lying, as Tim Drake does; Alfred notices that his tracker is going off in the opposite direction of the university, but Bruce is like "I trust him" and turns the tracker off. Yay, I guess?)
Anyway the important bit is this revealing that Tim is 'going-off-to-college' age. Which could still reasonably be anywhere from 17-19, and DC being DC, they ~refuse to confirm~
Tumblr media
Tim as Red Robin on the cover of Detective Comics #934 (2016); as you can see, he's pretty much Robin again lol
Tumblr media
Detective Comics #968 (2018); another shot of his "basically Robin" Red Robin costume
In 2019 we got the actual return of Tim as Robin (no "Red") in Brian Michael Bendis's Young Justice run, re-uniting the Core Four from YJ 1998.
Tumblr media
Young Justice (2019) #1
As you can see, he no longer has the doubled 'RR', and he confirms that he's Robin - "Well, one of them!" I think he's supposed to be filling in as the Gotham Robin while Damian is running around the world having adventures and presumably getting into trouble, as Robins do? idk.
Tim also chases down his erased post-Crisis past at the beginning of this arc, having Zatanna magically restore (most of) his memories of the previous timeline, and, crucially, his forgotten best friend Kon, kickstarting some plot.
Tim, and all of the Young Justice crew, are notably young-looking for almost the entirety of this run. It varies based on the artist, but uh, yeah for the most part they are really damn baby-faced. This is a trend that continues with Tim and his generation of friends from this point onward, so fans have basically thrown up their hands like "is he 17 forever???? is he Edward Cullen from Twilight???? is he aging backward????"
We Just Don't Know
In any case, Bendis makes DC's next attempt to give Tim his own identity in short order, giving us the hilarious, ill-fated, and rightfully short-lived "Drake" identity.
Tumblr media
Young Justice (2019) #10
He's back to being Robin by issue #18, hilariously switching costumes from one page to the next, although some time has apparently passed during the scene transition.
Tumblr media
Young Justice (2019) #18; Jinny: "Is Drake back to being Robin?" Kon: "I think Batman and Spoiler made him go back to Robin. Don't bring it up. And say thank you because we didn't have to have the Drake intervention we were planning."
And as of the current date (July 13, 2023), Tim is still in the Robin identity, sharing it with Damian ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ God knows how old he's supposed to be right now. I certainly don't.
Tumblr media
Batman (2016) #136; the most recent issue out to date, with Tim suiting up as Robin while filling Bruce in after diving into a bunch of parallel dimensions to bring Bruce home.
As you can see, it's a Mess. The Tim Drake's Vigilante Identity question is of course a hotbed of wank and infighting, as people are torn between (a) wanting him to continue as Robin and (b) wanting him to move on and "grow up" into his own identity again (and, importantly, leave Damian as the sole Robin again, lol).
It feels like most people are for option (b), but then nobody can agree on what his next identity and costume should be. Red Robin again?? Some other bird-based identity that doesn't share a name with a major restaurant chain?? Something else entirely??
God only knows what DC is going to come up with, especially after the Drake fiasco.
And there you have it, Anon! Hope that was helpful.

Pisces Influence On K-pop🦋🌌🧚🏼‍♀️
I have noticed that more often than not, the most popular K-pop groups tend to have a Pisces native as their most popular member.
I had previously talked about Jupiter influence on K-pop & K-entertainment in general and its apparent how there is a clear domination of Jupiter natives in Korean entertainment.
Pisces is ruled by Jupiter and this influence extends itself to the most popular idols within a majority of popular groups. By and large, in order to be more popular than other members in a group, a member will have to be an "ace", someone who is multi-talented; not just with their dancing or singing/rapping but also with their personality and charm; they have to be someone who is truly eye-catching.
Pisces rashi consists of 0-3 degrees Purvabhadrapada, 3-16 degrees Uttarabhadrapada, 16-29 degrees Revati.
With regard to how I determined who is "the most popular member" of each group, I picked ones who have the most number of followers on IG + who is generally and widely considered the most popular (in many cases the group itself is known as THEIR group)
The following list will include natives who have both Pisces influence and Jupiter influence since this seems to be what the Korean public gravitates towards.
BTS
Tumblr media
Taehyung is the most popular member of the most popular Kpop group of all time.
He is Revati Moon conjunct Ketu in Revati
He is the fastest person in the world to hit 1, 10 and 60 million followers.
fun fact: the record for the fastest person to hit 1 million on ig was previously held by Angelina Jolie who is a fellow Revati Moon
He also has the highest IG engagement of any celebrity in the world, surpassing 15 million likes per post on average, which is more than Billie Eilish, Ronaldo, Ariana Grande or any other celeb with similarly massive followings.
BLACKPINK
Tumblr media
Lisa is THE most followed K-pop idol in the world.
She has a UBP stellium with her sun, venus, saturn and ketu
Her amatyakaraka is her Mercury in Revati
Lisa might be the most popular member but Jennie is well, Jennie. She is a Vishaka Moon with Ketu in Revati
Le Sserafim
Tumblr media
Sakura has a whole Pisces stellium
She has Sun & Mars in UBP
Her amatyakaraka is her Mercury in Revati
Her atmakaraka is her Saturn in Revati
She is 25 and has debuted under 4 different groups and has consistently been one of the most popular members.
SEVENTEEN
Tumblr media
Mingyu also has a whole Pisces stellium
He has Sun, Venus (amatyakaraka) & Saturn in Revati
He has UBP Moon and Ketu
AESPA
Tumblr media
Karina has Revati Sun, UBP Mercury and Venus
ASTRO
Tumblr media
Cha Eunwoo has a whole Pisces stellium with UBP Sun, Venus, Saturn & Ketu
STRAY KIDS
Tumblr media
Felix is UBP moon whereas Hyunjin is UBP sun
GIRL'S GENERATION
Tumblr media
Taeyeon is UBP moon
RED VELVET
Tumblr media
Joy has Venus & Mars in Punarvasu and she also has Saturn & Ketu in UBP whereas Irene is UBP sun
ATEEZ
Tumblr media
Choi San is Punarvasu Sun whereas Seonghwa is Revati Sun & Stellium (Mercury, Mars & Saturn) Mars in Revati atmakaraka and Saturn in Revati amatyakaraka
GOT7
Tumblr media
Jackson Wang has UBP sun, with Venus in Revati (exalted) as his atmakaraka
Even if you know nothing about GOT7 or even K-pop, you know who Jackson Wang is.
NCT 127
Tumblr media
SM has practically made Mark Lee debut under every single NCT subunit and he's probably the most overworked SM idol at the moment.
He is Revati Moon
NEW JEANS
Tumblr media
Haerin has Mars in Punarvasu amatyakaraka, Venus in Revati (exalted) and Rahu in UBP
TWICE
Tumblr media
Momo has Vishaka Sun conjunct Vishaka Mercury (atmakaraka) along with Saturn conjunct Ketu in UBP
Now I'll mention those popular group members who do not have Pisces influence but do have Jupiter influence.
MAMAMOO
Tumblr media
Hwasa has Punarvasu Mercury conjunct Punarvasu Venus along with Purvabhadrapada Saturn
IVE
Tumblr media
Wonyoung has Purvabhadrapada Moon, Venus & Saturn in Punarvasu
Its worth noting that several popular idols are born in 1996 or 1997 when Ketu was in Pisces, this already includes several idols on this list including Jennie, Lisa, Cha Eunwoo, Joy, Momo etc but it also extends to several other very popular idols like Jihyo, Rose, Jaehyun, Jungkook, Bang Chan, DK, Minnie, BamBam.
Many of the above mentioned idols are considered among the 10 most popular idols in Korea frequently.
Now most of these idols are known for their crazy, insane visuals, being charming and witty, many of these members are either MCs or actors as well, have many endorsements and most importantly, they have "duality" simultaneously being cute and hot. Their insane stage/screen presence, natural flair for performance and a certain "je ne sais quoi". Jupiter natives naturally draw attention to themselves because they tend to have a certain presence. But most importantly, Jupiter natives almost have an innate understanding of what works or what will garner attention or how to make a performance more captivating; they have deep intuition about these matters. Wonyoung has been accused several times of "acting for the camera" or "being fake". Since she's young she does not quite know how to make it less obvious but its veryyy Jupiterean to do that; to conduct oneself in a way that is most pleasing to other people. To be charming is a lot like being flirtatious; you're inviting others to pay attention to you and to see you. Charm is a HUGE part of idol life and naturally those idols who do well in variety shows tend to be more popular than others. Several idols mentioned in this post had major career breakthroughs from their appearances on variety shows. Jupiter's ability to cater to a large audience comes from Jupiter's expansiveness; most people would find it exhausting to be this way but this extends beyond people pleasing, for Jupiter natives, this is a way of life; they have the capacity to do what others expect from them and they have the ability to toy with these expectations.
Another important factor is that many of these idols are considered intimidating, have cold visuals and have fierce, regal, princely vibes to them. This is also a Jupiterean gift. They look very dignified and regal and possess a certain ✨aura✨
All in all, they have a unique and distinct presence that makes them highly sought after in the Korean entertainment sphere<333

How your oc works with 141, or just headcanons about them in general? excited to learn more :0
ive been waiting for this one
could also be seen as an x reader.. maybe? if you relate to nerve then yes. i won’t mention their physical appearance too often
NERVE X 141 (PLATONIC HEADCANONS)
mentions of exposed nerves, wounds, transphobia maybe?
some background:
Nerve is a CoD OC i’ve had since 2018. I haven’t gotten very far on their backstory, but this fic takes place during 2016 (MW2). Nerve is Russian/Hispanic but was born in the U.S., circa 1997, even though they spent their childhood in Izhevsk, Udmurtia, Russia. I can elaborate on their backstory in a future fic, if anyone would like me to.
Nerve is fluent in English, Russian, and Spanish. They speak a little Portuguese as well (mainly because of its similarity to Russian). Their accent is a light mix of Russian and Honduran, but it’s not strong.
They were found by the 141 as an abandoned soldier in the middle of bumfuck Russian wilderness. They were in their late teens, and were too afraid and shaken to even consider speaking. Thankfully, they posed no immediate threat, as once they were given medical attention, the first thing they did was insult Soap’s hairstyle.
“ . . . “
“What?”
“ . . . “
“Why are you staring at me?”
“ . . Уродливый сукин сын. “ (ugly son of a bitch)
Yuri laughed. The others didn’t.
Speaking of Yuri, they grew especially close to him even though they aren’t very good at showing it. An extra dinner roll, putting some more care into his wounds, or simply completing a task in the same room as him. He was the only other Russian.
Nerve was dubbed that because before their squadron abandoned them, they used to literally create nerve gas in a basement. They were incredibly skilled in chemistry and knew how to use it to their advantage, but stopped using it because of the damage it caused. They were also named that because they were constantly nervous, just completely rigid, and it was easy to get on their nerves.
The name was official when they were wounded in battle and their mate had failed to operate on them. A literal exposed nerve hung out of their body. They have permanent nerve damage in that area—their right forearm.
Nerve used to be in the Russian air force. Being drafted in a time of need and at 16 years old, they simply went to where they needed the most soldiers—not that they had a choice in where they went, anyway. They flew a Su-27SKM. They named it ‘Lassie’, much to Soap’s delight.
Laswell convinced Price for Nerve to join. She’d grown quite attached to them, because they immediately attached themselves onto her arm when they were rescued. Nerve prefers not to bring it up.
Actually, the 141 doesn’t even know their gender. They have long hair, a heart shaped face, and slightly feminine features, but their build is curveless and thin, despite muscular. It turned into an entire debate.
“If it was a girl, she would have had her period or cried by now, right? Maybe she’d have a little bit of bust.” Soap hisses.
“If they were male, they’d have more masculine features. They wouldn’t be a staggering 5’7. Also, they’re not an ‘it’, Johnny.” Ghost retorts.
Ghost turns to the soldier fidgeting with a cube in the corner. “Ma’am.” He barks at them, to which they turn their head. He snorts, and Soap responds with pausing until they’ve returned to their cube, and then shouting “Sir.” They turn their head as well. Gaz laughs.
They are AFAB, but they have a condition in which they produce more testosterone and androgen than the usual AFAB person. On the occasion they do have a menstrual cycle, they just play it off like they’ve been shot in the abdomen. Easier to explain.
They’re steady, a force to hold onto when running into a crowd. They’ll keep you by your side, and never takes unexpected turns.
If they were an animal, they’d imagine themselves to be a donkey. Not a mule, though; they’re afraid of horses. And anything with horse blood. That’s why they’re as stubborn as one.
Hates when they’re spoken down to. They don’t give their higher-ups any extra respect than they need. Hates when they have to submit to anything.
You want to know their name? Absolutely not. (It’s Arkady.) Nobody alive knows any of their names outside of that, though.

Hello everyone! Thank you all for almost 50 followers!! :3c All activity has been on my main account @morguemaw, so if you want more direct content of Lusttale shoot me a ask about it!!!!
So, abit has changed over the few months and i have a update, coupled with info for all you new guys who found this blog!
1) AU is decided to be 16+. Its suggestive, no NSFW will be posted/shown as i want whatever content i MYSELF to post to be accessible to everyone within a comfortable range! There will be light sexual jokes, however if at any point it reaches too much, please tell me! I know the AU itself should obviously be considered a Explicit Rated AU, however i know there are people who enjoy the AU without the sexual aspects.
2) This AU is not a fan AU OR variant: This AU was made with the plan to 100% rewrite Underlust, i will explain below!!
Why the rewrite?:
I've loved Underlust since i joined the Undertale community, and others have too! However, the owner WAS involved and DID create content involving fontcest, a nazi Chara, Frans content, and was friends/mutuals with others who also created gross content like BlogTheGreatRogue and Lizherubones. This disgusted me and made alot of others feel the same. The AU was left off on a confusing as shit note, from the disgusting writing of Lust MTT to the messed up relationship between the brothers. I want to erase this the best i can. Alot of characters have also 0 content (Such as Lust Alphys) and although i will mostly focus on Sans/Papyrus/Frisk still, i WILL be creating content for mostly every character to again ensure the AU is fully fleshed out for as much enjoyment as possible.
Wheres the creator/owner?:
Awhile back, the owner, NSFWshamecave/Niel, left the internet and the AU for personal and mental reasons and bounced between owning and not owning the Au. They have since been MIA(Missing In Action) from the internet and AU, i doubt they will return or be involved at this point. The AU is considered fandom owned, which if you prefer that i support it, but do not interact with my blog as im basing everything on a rewritten POV with the entire intent to overhaul the AU without being too different or too similar.
What about the Underlust domain name?:
Lusttale CAN be called Underlust, BUT i prefer Lusttale to separate it as its alot easier, HOWEVER i have no issue with it being called Underlust! (Just still please credit/tag me, id love to see any content!)
What about fan AUs or others who make their own Variants?:
Keep going! I support these ten fold. Ive seen so many creative AUs overall, including a recent aroace one that has such adorable designs and is why i want to refresh myself and explain this blog to anyone new who might mistake me as a fan account. If you want to consider your variant a version/variant of my Rewritten AU, please tag me! Id love to see your AUs, your Varaints, EVERYTHING!!
HOWEVER. I do NOT support a single soul who ever uses my AU for Frans, Fontcest, or akin. Dont tag me OR interact with me, its public knowledge how the community feels about those, and im one of the many who don't like that content and wish for my AU to not be used in it. Self inserts, OC/Y/N x Lusttale, or etc is the same, id love to see it!!
What about Swaplust/Lustfell/AUs?:
Swaplust is also inactive: I have had my own interpretation of Swaplust since i found the AU when it was first made, Lustfell however i dont know, if its requested i will create something but i dont want to just claim every Lust AU out there. Not saying im claiming ownership of Swaplust, im saying that the Swaplust i want to make will be considered canon AU and it will be the ONLY Underlust AU i will ever claim, Swaplust has the same exact permissions. (Swaplust too had a very close Frans suggested ship, that is my reason for it)
To clarify if needed, im not forcing the view of me owning the AU onto every Underlust created content, im just saying if you yourself, the community, support what i do, i will continue, hence why i say tag me! I love to see it!
What about headcanons/outdated info like Sans being shorter?:
RN, Sans is the same size as Gaster Sans (i think 5' something?) however im fine with people drawing him short! ^^
Head-canons are also fully fine!!! Tell me any you think of, id love to hear. As long as you respect that i have my own plans, id be overjoyed to read whatever you guys think of or have.
So, to sum it up, Underlust has had a MIA owner since 2019/2020. Because of the history, and the way its loved, its a massive honor if i could step up and help give the community a AU with a solid backstory, solid characters with fleshed out personalities, and a structured plot that will replace something that was/is beloved. The best i can explain it, is my goal is to structure the AU but still keep support for the community as the AU was indeed considered Fandom Owned, again, you do not have to support me wanting to claim it, just do not bash me for it, as im absolutely not considering Lusttale a variant or AU, im considering Lusttale canon.
Questions are welcomed, if you have any concerns i can also explain! (Anon/Off Anon preferred so i can have it be public accessible incase others have the same questions)

Md's hot hot list of dante limbus theories that ive been sitting on since I started playing
ONE OF THESE WILL BE RIGHT. MAYBE. cut for length. discuss in the comments. contains ruina and lobocorp spoilers. maybe even leviathan spoilers. assume spoilers for the newest content. pinning so i can keep adding to it in the future. (edited 3/2)
Theory 1, from early march 2023- Dante has the option to get their head back, takes it. Human Dante is shown. except clearly hiding unfamiliarity with the sinners. The clock head is still alive. A clock doesnt need a body to live. Human evil dante uses the golden whatever to cause Problems and has the sinners chained to them. vergil is free tho so he can beat down evil dante. (this now works with a canto 5 tidbit where vergil said he'd only step in if "all sinners dead, dante is beaten, and the hands of the clock are about to be torn off".)
T2, 3/12- 9 circles of hell, Dante, and a few subsections. Dante is sinner 10. Charon is also in the divine comedy so she'll get a section. Dante are u lucifer. who is the lucifer of the setting?? i'm saying pre-dante Dante until otherwise noted. (not personally fond of this one)
T3, 3/15- iori saw limbus going a certain way and guaranteed it by making sure Dante got factory reset by force. villain to cause heroism. (dont know enough about Iori for this one)
T4- Backwards clock relation possible. (possibly canon validated)
T5- Saying Dante had a significant other named Beatrice is way too low bar but It's a necessary one. ech
T6- Dante IS Beatrice and given the name of someone else. (too ez)
T7, 3/17- future Dante guaranteeing the future changes by getting past Dante's head removed. issue solved. This one is based on the opening and reading the lyrics real goodly.
T8, 3/20- Dante's head has a lil bit of angelas ai in there. or ayin data. benjamin. any of them. carmen even. fuck whatever. maybe hokma bc ticking in ruina theme. (this one lead to some Better Ideas. see later)
T9, 3/23- The three censored letters. B E A, S I N, E G O, A L I, who knows. v e r. could be anything this one is nothing
T10, 3/26- Faust VERY SPECIFICALLY says that brains cant be replaced-- so even if Dante gets their head back, it's incompatible now. (!! this is a Top Theory)
T11, 3/28- Beatrice or someone else died around Christmas, which makes Dante sad even without their memories. The pain exists but the context is missing. (They also seem to know Christmas music without any issue, able to sing along with Charon in their head. This is not addressed in canon.)
T12, 3/30- Beatrice was one of the orphans that died in Leviathan :) the time period matches up. It was around Christmas.
T13, 3/31- HARD LOBOCORP SPOILER. Thinking about In Hell We Live (Lament). "Each loop we live/die thru"? How many times? How many times has Dante done this? Or Pre-Dante, anyway. Faust is probably in on it. The new L corp took one look at what Ayin was doing and went "we can do that too lmao". Losing their memory was a base requirement to prevent madness. I rewrote this theory on 9/19 but added "to prevent a paradox"
T14, 4/18- Less a HC and more a suggestion, just use F Corp's shit to Unlock Dante's memory. If we ever visit District F, you KNOW Faust is gonna keep them on one hell of a tight leash.
T15- Is the Star a Singularity? Did Dante STEAL it? Are THEY the singularity? The clock? This one's too easy too though.
T16, 5/8- WAT IF THE STAR IS LUCIFER. MORNING STAR. CAN MANIPULATE SOULS IN HELL. (weak but proj moon loves their Christian imagery. this will come back repeatedly)
T17, 5/10- Dante is either connected to whitenight OR a jesus figure (12 apostles, sin, not dying when killed, revives people, etc. the christianity again. it will continue. i already drew plague doc dante.)
T18. 5/16- Dante's clock hands are made from a Golden Bough. ez. LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO canto 5.2
Tumblr media
T19. 6/16- This has 0 canon basis but what if Dante was a Bloodfiend, would that be cool or what? They already don't need to eat, but is that from the clock or something else? Do they get IVs with nutrients? How does this work? Idk. I just want Dante to cut their hand open, make giant claws and rip a man apart before eating dirt. Dante can chew on a Sinner as a treat. c:
T20- Wouldn't it be fucked up if Dante found their head and it had either Distorted or was an Abnormality??
T21, 9/29- Religious Bastard Dieci Dante Aligheri.
Current Theories not Previously Written:
T22- Dante has gotten Very Attached to the Sinners as their only form of contact while they've gotten themselves together. They recently realized many Sinners are doing this for the end goals, not to be a team. This seemed to upset them. UPSET THEM MORE. DISTORT THEM. DANTE REALIZES THEY'LL ALL LEAVE WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD. Carmen! Come get this bitch.
T23- Actually, Dante should distort for any reason. I Absolutely Understand the Mechanics (lying). Got too depressed, hit -45 SAN and decided they're just a useless tool instead of a person? Absolutely. You're now a piece of equipment. (when Heath asks if they're okay in canto 5 bc they got injured, dante responds "the clocks fine so who cares?")
T24- Building off the previous, they're really starting to believe they're just a tool like how Gregor thinks he's a bug. That Is Not Good For Your Mental Health (garry ib icon.png)
T25- Putting this here just before my fav one, their skin. We never see it, so a list of potential possibilities excluding Being White bc that's BORING: Any POC, ashy skin (like vergil), dark ashy (charon), pure black or close to (a lot of people do this, me included), dark and covered in stars, very tattooed, very mechanical, just outright a robot, bloodfiend again, ETC. Based on the few images we have that show anything, it's just pitch black under there unless it's a skinsuit. the rest of them may be any of the above but for now most of these are defunct.
Tumblr media
T26- My Current Top Theory of All Time- Dante is an AI. They have never been human, just machine. At least one of their creators cared enough to do better than Ayin ever fucking did, fostering curiosity and a desire to live in the little AI. Thing is, after Angela, AI became Very Illegal. There's no way their creators survived. L Corp New got them. Old AI Dante was, at their core, still an unfeeling machine that made decisions based purely on cold logic. New Dante is a person that is learning and growing, refusing to follow the colder path at times.
Is the clock part of them? Unsure. That can work either way.
But they're definitely becoming a person who doesn't want every encounter to end in bloodshed and death. Good for them.
T27- Dante is not Ruina Dante. they didn't get booked. I think they'd throw hands on sight.
T28- Verg/Dante that's all glory to yaoiville
T29- AND GIVE THEM A SWORD!!!!!
T30- I missed one! Their eyes with a human head. This has a few that rotate. Red eyes, Gold eyes, Gold with the star, heterochromia with only one gold/star and red, pitch black (pre-d), or night sky/star. mix and match. who cares?
T31- I personally like the idea of Dante being a redhead (real red not ginger like ish) but realize it doesn't make much sense. Black hair works too, esp smoky, but they need more color. maybe fire streaks? if POC, maybe dreads?
T32- I am now also accepting heathcliff/dante post canto 5.1 he care so much.... actually just sinner polycule is valid. so is sinner family. both work. the only part I dont like is dante/faust. doesn't feel right. Charon excluded. that is our child.
T33- Forgot an old one where I figured Dante was a hacker that got into a Lot of trouble and being sinner #10 was meant to be a suicide mission.
T34- Dante being an ai part 2, having been planted in a body. maybe even a body they knew.
T35- another i forgot but dante being all scarred up or stitches or frankensteiny and-- [etc]
T36- Memory loss being fully intentional to kill their previous self and only carry over the necessary. A new start.
T37- Yknow how we never SAW Dante being an upper torso and arm in canto 3? Why? What is being hidden that's so important? robot parts? are you a robot? are you a -
T38- Dante being an artist of any kind. musician, poet, painter, etc. even post amnesia. give em a hobby
T39- Somewhere else I discussed forms that'd be fun for a Dante Distortion but i cant find it so ill reiterate: coffin spider, all around helper clock, useless fucking thing. all of which have gold chains suffocating them and it doesnt fight back. give it morphine
T40- this one's insane but dante's og self being the Player. thats why they were "me" and not "dante" we're not them. but we also are.
T41- This ones a joke but og dantes name actually just being "Me". (but not pronounced that way) (alternatively it was a nickname)
T42- Dante being an interviewer or reporter- A big name one. No wonder they keep secrets like K corps singularity. They can release that publicly later... if they choose to.
T43- RECREATE CARMEN. DO IT PUSSY. That 5.5 Blade scene is Damning as all hell. That or the bough + the monolith had an Interaction.
T44- Dante's internal programming knows the City Lore but Dante isn't allowed to know. The fact so much of that scene was censored...
T45- Dante is Bongbong
T46- I haven't beaten Ruina so I don't know a lot about Constructs or Librarians but like. Maybe they were one of those.
T47- Dante is going to eventually explode (figuratively). Even they can only take so much abuse and bullshit. Self-esteem can only go so low.
T48- Dante being a disaster chimera of stuff. AI made of someone else's brain, in someone else's body, with other stuff installed, etc, etc, etc.
T49- The Star reminds me too much of Blue Star, talking about Sin and such. Maybe it's an abno relating to that. who knows.

13 and 21 for the OCverse asks!!! For whatever OCverse you want :0
13.) how long have you been working on this project? what has changed from the outset?
I’m going to answer for the anthea ocverse bc ive had it waaaay longer. I’ve had it since literally highschool! I must have been like 16 if not younger when I first conceptualized of it. I think it’s gone through a bunch of different changes since then.
(I'm about to type a lot for this one feel free to just skim lol)
When I FIRST thought of it though it was more of a fantasy creature highschool situation. I sort of opted out of that though because, like, I didn’t want it to be too “monster high” I guess? A bunch of characters were different fantasy races though, like, protea was an emo fairy who couldn’t fly (The idea being that joy powered the flight lol) but obvs that was scrapped. And now she is a cute happy potion seller :p
There were other changes like that too but I can’t remember them all…. I think at some point it was also more of a “secret wizard world” situation but I felt like that was also overdone. Amary literally went from average girl to princess lmao
For where it is now it’s more or less been the same as just a school in a fantasy world… There are some mild changes I’ve made here and there. At some point I wanna do my THIRD redesign for the main cast lol. I’ve been drawing eyes in a slightly different way recently (Including the irises which are big parts of the designs) so I already drew little concepts for new eye designs, but they more or less have the same spirit!
I think that when I first made the world I was, like, around the same age as the kids in the school. And that’s all well and good, but I think now as an adult I actually wanna divert the story into being more critical of their entire system rather than just fun magic stuff (that will still be there too). I always had a big theme about the concept of “heirship” in there (familial expectations and passed down roles and such, that’s partly why so many characters are nobility) but I think in order to actually hammer the point home I really do have to point out the flaws in the bigger picture of their world. That was always something that was THERE (again see the nobility and their Issues… Even the main antagonists are a result of that) but I think I’ve made the school itself too much of an exemption of it when in reality I think I should also make it part of the problem. School system critique time baby
21.) you have been given unlimited funds to make your story idea a reality. what are you sparing no expenses for?
If I had unlimited money I would absolutely make this an awesome animated project and i would pay all the animators sooooo much to make it as awesome looking as possible. I don’t just mean smooth animation but bombastic awesome animation with all kinds of different techniques and with as much flare as possible. And not just for action but for small character mannerisms too. It would literally be SOOO awesome. I would actually like to make multiple and just have different things going all at once and idk post them on youtube or something. This is a total hypothetical ofc but it would be sick.

I made Firestar on Crusader kings 3, here’s how it went;
Firestar, king of Thunderclan (Brittany, I renamed it) vowed to make Thunderclan a place for every culture
unfortunately, he had terrible stats and his councellors had awfully bad stats as him as well
he married to sandstorm and since I cant control how many kids he has and the gender i just kinda had to make up some characters as i went
he had 5 kids; leafpool, squirrelflight, shrinelight, lightingfalls and shallowkit (who died at birth)
leafpool was a cynical drunkard, shrinelight was an homosexual athletic steward (with amazing stats i may add) he murdered his own mother later on
but the story gets better on squirrelflight, you see, after firestar made a deal with france for protection (thunderclan was an independent kingdom) he, would automatically be apart of the first crusade of jerusalem
after winning the crusade, the pope requested each nation that participated for a benefactor, each one would get a piece of the holy land
Squirrelflight was Firestar’s benefactor that just HAPPENED to inherit the title of queen of jerusalem
as the queen of jerusalem, she, like her father, vowed to make the holy kingdom a place for all cultures and religions alike (which is absurdily difficult), like her father, she also swore vassalage to the closest empire for protection, as playing as an small independent kingdom is difficult, ESPECIALLY if you are one that holds an holy site like jerusalem
she would have difficulties in bearing children, only having 2 sons and 2 daughters (hollyleaf, lionblaze, jayfeather and sparklepelt) usually, in crusader kings youd have around 7-14 kids
hollyleaf was a humble, compassionate and brave character, her studies focused on adminstration of income and theological texts, during her lifetime, she would furthey stray away from the light of god and become a witch and in retaliation she would get excommunicated but since she was the daughter of the queen, she would not get executed or arrested, despite the people of jerusalem rioting every now and then about having a witch on the royal family
lionblaze would show to be a promising marshal as a kid, but as he grew he became more interessed in diplomatic measures, attending diplomatic college and become the chancellor for his mother
after 50 years of development, jerusalem became a safe haven for all sorts of people, squirrelflight would die at the age of 69 (nice) and the throne would be passed down to jayfeather
well. after countless hours on crusader kings, jayfeather is the most overpowered character ive ever encountered- not played as, encountered,
again, if you dont know about how crusader kings stats works, heres an example;
0-5 points is terrible
5-9 points is poor
9- 10 is average
11 - 14 is good
and anything up is excellent
now heres the thing, its HARD to find characters that are excellent in one stats, its even HARDER to find characters that excellent in two stats, usually you’ll be good at one thing and terrible/poor in the other stats, if youre good at this game or focusing towards a especific build you might excel in one stats and be average at the rest
but not jayfeather
this man has EXCELLENT stats on 4 SKILLS OUT OF 6, which might be the best character ive ever seem in general, and his learning skill is 50. FIFTY (the highest ive seem before? 22.)
jayfeather, since birth was a goddamn genius, he was studying anatomy and medicine when he was 4,by the time he was 16, he was a doctor and a theologist, the moment he became king i just everything BOOSTED to an insane degree, so jayfeather, a man-made god, started his journey
he would stray away from trying to make jerusalem a cultural place, and focused more on its development, being insanely smart, the development of technologies on jerusalem SKYROCKED, even surpassing the byzantine empire
the cities there are so absurdily developed compared to the rest of the world that its laughable, the city of jerusalem is making 20 gold a month, twenty fucking gold. a month (the average city produces 1.5 gold a month)
in the end, jayfeather outlived literally everyone in his family, even the kids, he’s 82 years old now and he’s still thriving and continuing to make heaven on earth like always did and let us hope his heir will follow his steps

Background: Purpled is one of the most “alien” inhabitant of the land, in a literal sense because he is probably an alien from space. Although that is not entirely confirmed, he has been acknowledged as one of the most skilled combatant of the land second to few. Purpled always sought ways to communicate with his “outer” kin as he attempted to build a saucer to get their attention. This one was blown by Quackity after a dispute and they have ever since been on bad terms especially after the purple mercenary killed his newfound friend, Slimecicle. Purpled is a true mercenary at heart that never forget OR forgives with a strong sense of justice: siding only with those that offer him the better prices, reasons and never starting a conflict that he doesn’t want to get involved into. Despite everything, he yearns recognition by leaving a mark, one that counts. One day, he was still thinking about what he did to Slimecicle and had a thought running in his head. Quackity blew up his saucer but it was a BUILDING not LIVING THING. There is a limit, a threshold on everything and he did walked over it. Was what he did a mistake? “No. Revenge is revenge. And I am just getting started.” He finished that thought and someone whispered in his ear “Wouldn’t that be a disappointment if he reversed what you did.” Purpled turned around, nobody. He was alone. “You want to know do you? Knowledge of the stars… The understanding of the endless sea… You want to know what he wants to do. Do you?” Purpled became immediately panicked when he explored every inch of the structure and found nobody “Who are you? What do you want? WHERE are you?” A small chuckle was heard. “I am the forgotten and forbidden, giver and taker, i’m in the holes of your mind, ready to FILL the gaps. I can give you what you desire. The knowledge of the stars and how to make that man suffer even more. Also, i know how to stop him from returning his friend back into shape.” Purpled froze. “He is going to fix that slime? How? You did something?” A gurgling sound was heard. “No. Another one did.” But if you want to give chase… this is your last call. Accept my offer. And i will give you the tools to dispose of your enemy. All that I ask in trade is simple: you will guide me to the house of the green god.” Purpled was unsure and hesitated. “Tik tok little fleshy creature. He is slipping away. FOREVER.” Purpled clenched his theet: “OK… Ok! Bring me to him! And this better not be a trick or…!” And suddenly the world changed and so did him. He awoke in a spaceship, broken but still a true one… lodged in the side of a mesa. “This is all i can give you and the closest i can place you. I will see you around.” Another chuckle was heard fading in the distance. Purpled, equipped with new tools and new knowledge was now more determined than ever. “Let’s do this s**t.”

2022 in review, part 6: comics & manga first reads
1. orcs! by christine larsen (2021)
this is frighteningly perfect. orcs as protagonists, cute (but not too cute for orcs) art, and just supremely powerful good boy energy. (yeah a lot of the protagonists aren’t boys, but i feel like all orcs have good boy energy regardless of gender.) also it’s kinda gay!
this filled a hole i didn’t even know could be filled (which despite being ace is oftentimes what i’m looking for with orcs, hey-o), with the only problem being that whenever i go out looking for more orc fiction i’m looking for this specific vibe and nothing else has it. woof.
(in all seriousness i wouldn’t want every orc story to have this vibe because that would make it less special, but still i want more of this than this and its immediate sequel, y’know?)
2. the witch boy by molly ostertag (2017)
given the title & author i am less than 0% surprised how strongly i vibed with this. this gave me so many gender feels.
3. batman/teenage mutant ninja turtles (2015-16) writer: james tyrnion iv / artist: freddie williams ii
a love letter to fans of both franchises. this is one of the all-time great crossovers between two totally separate franchises. it might be the best ever.
4. the adventure zone, vol. 4: the crystal kingdom (2021) writers: clint mcelroy & griffin mcelroy & justin mcelroy & travis mcelroy artist: carey pietsch
it took me a minute to get into adventure zone because i was so thoroughly spoiled by the frankly superior dimension 20, but it really does grow on you. and i think the crystal kingdom story is the first one where the comic adaptation actually noticeably improved upon the podcast. the ending especially was just so arresting seeing it in comic form, and it really had an impact on me that i don’t remember it having when i was listening to the pod.
5. superman: birthright (2003-04) writer: mark waid / artists: leinil francis yu & gerry alanguilan
not only is this the best verison of superman’s origin story i’ve ever seen, it’s one of the best superman comics i’ve ever read.
6. batman, vol. 2: the city of owls (2012) writers: scott snyder & james tynion iv / artists: greg capulo & rafael albuquerque & more
what made this so special is not just that it was the epic confrontation between batman and the court (and possibly his long-lost brother). it also had two side stories, one that showed that the new 52 version of mr. freeze is kind of a unique twist on the character, but i'm actually way more interested in the last issue of the volume. this issue featured a pair of super gay siblings named harper and cullen row. harper will eventually become the hero bluebird, but for now we just see her civilian life and how she first comes into contact with batman. and honestly, just seeing these two low-income queer siblings existing and being extremely relatable was such a joy.
7. avatar: tsu’tey’s path (2019) writer: sherri l. smith / artists: dan parsons & jay durresma
basically a drastically better version of the first movie with less human stuff. it couldn’t totally remove the shitty white savior stuff from the narrative obviously since it is following the same events, but it did at least push them off to the side as much as it could.
8. batman: hush (2002) writer: jeph loeb / artist: jim lee
i’ve been a batman/catwoman shipper since before i knew that shipping was a thing, so obviously i loved this. ivy being blatantly femdommy, and bisexual at that, was also extremely, extremely, extremely my jam. yes please. more of that, please.
9. pleasure & corruption, vol. 1 by you someya (2019)
*pounding fist on table in rhythm to words* more. boy. subs. more. boy. subs. more. boy. subs.
i do wish so many authors didn’t seem so convinced that subby boys always have to “deserve it” by being pervs or whatever in stories like this, it makes them way harder to relate to. but yeah. seeing a boy get tied up and bullied a bunch is extremely wish fulfillment imo. also, loveloveloved the heavy emphasis on bondage, obviously.
10. 5 seconds before a witch falls in love by zeniko sumiya (2021)
a super cute enemies-to-lovers yuri about a witch & witch hunter. hell yeah.

ehehehee Booke!!!
Im starting out hello my old heart by firebirdsuite, a smaller fic at only 15k - i think i might try iwbta as either my second or project, not sure if jumping from 15k to 50k would be too abrupt of a difficulty spike! (Also thank u for the pdf u used!! :0 what size signatures did u print it at?)
ive done two draft prints to get used to it! my first print i tried in groups of 8 sheets, which left me with two thick signatures and one with only like 2 sheets - tried again with signatures of 4 sheets / 16 pages and thought itd be the final draft until i realized i needed to leave a page at the front n back, bc otherwise id glue the cover to the title page!! Im waiting to print the final draft until i have commissioned art to fill out some space and bring the fully formatted text to a nice even 80 pages :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
binding my drafts into text blocks was really gratifying!! It truly does feel like im making a book prototype >:3 i used modpodge for the glue since joann’s didnt have any pva glue, amd it seems to work well enough, but just to be safe i think im gonna buy some actual pva glue online once i use all the modpodge
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
i think tonight im gonna try making a cover for one of my practice text blocks! This is all going a lot better than i thought it would, I’ve already learned so much and im still so excited to keep going!! :) thank u for the tips!!!
(ahh sorry for not responding to this sooner!)
it looks great!!! i'm glad that the tips helped (and i have definitely also printed the same fic like. 2-3 times because i realized i made a mistake and had to reprint aklgdajg so i feel that). i usually do 6-sheet signatures for letter-sized books, which is what the iwbta document is formatted for! if you want to adjust that, you'll want to go into the word doc version and change that since i believe that PDF is already imposed for signature printing.
and there shouldn't be too much of a difficulty jump from 15k to 50k words! once you've put together a book, the only real difference between wordcounts is more sewing lol (unless you get into mini books 👀). if you get really big, you'll want to start thinking about rounding and/or backing, but that won't be necessary for a 50k story.
(also, i saw your pics in the renegade discord, and it looks so good completed! i'm excited to see what the final draft looks like 💜)

Day Off - 4/18/22
It's been a very stressful week so Ive been a little MIA. I couldn't wait to get out of work.
Left late and drove straight home. Since money is tight lately, I decided to just leave all my debit and credit cards at home and only spend money on my days off. This also means I don't stop off at several places on the way home anymore. It's drastic but it works really well.
Anyways, went straight home and spent about 2 -3 hours walking my dogs at the park. Pinky is finally starting to walk better on leash. Aussie's health has improved the last few days and we took the longest walk in at least a couple months! I'm currently saving up for a $500 Walkin Wheels wheelchair for him. He's not in any pain but he does fall sometimes and his back legs are weaker.
After I fed the pets, I decided to just heat up some odds and ends for my Easter dinner. I knew I wasn't going to want to spend time cooking so I just had my Easter dinner the day before...also microwaved but good. A few slices of ham, mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.
Watched TV before calling it a night. Slept okay but woke up a couple times in the night to Aussie barking for me. I accidentally left the hallway light on and he couldn't fall asleep.
Slept in (7am) and just cuddled with Pinky and stared at my phone for a couple hours before getting out of bed.
Watched TV and cooked breakfast - 2 fried eggs, bagel with cream cheese and some leftover ham.
I decided to re-open my savings account with one of my banks and transferred a couple hundred dollars over. Since I'm stricter on my spending, I decided to get back into the habit of putting a set amount of money each paycheck into my savings. Each paycheck I'll send $200 to this savings account.
I've also cut out cable, impulse buying and I reluctantly made the decision to cut out my wonderful gym membership (a $130/month expense) to combat inflation and insane rental price gouging. My apartment complex has a nice gym but it gets quickly crowded in the weight room.
Washed the dishes, cleaned the kitchen and got dressed. Spent another 2-3 hours with the dogs in the park.
Came home, fed the pets and decided to treat myself to lunch and run some errands. First got my car washed ($0) then ate McDonalds ($16) for lunch before putting gas in my car ($23). I spent $66 on groceries (saved $15).
Drove home and while I was unpacking my groceries, I pulled out my panini press and grilled some chicken for the week. I used 2 types of Kinder seasoning. Tossed that in a pyrex dish for when I'm too exhausted to cook.
Got ready for work tomorrow and wrote in my journal (haven't missed a day since I started it in late February). Ate a few cookies before calling it a night 👍

no i hate it! it hurts! its unbelievable to me that people would not be hurt by it! i hate it!
3: what random objects do you use to bookmark your books?
its been ages since i read anything but ive been known to use receipts, scraps of paper, straw wrappers, yugioh cards, really whatever i can get my hands on thats flat enough to fit in there.
4: how do you take your coffee/tea?
i dont/chai if available

9: do you like singing/humming to yourself?
yes!
10: do you sleep on your back, side, or stomach?
side! left side, specifically. can manage right side if necessary, and back only if im not in bed. stomach is right fucking out.
12: what’s your favorite planet?
used to be saturn but these days im leaning more towards good ol' Earth <3
13: what’s something that made you smile today?
probably something that happened in disco elysium, i havent done anything but watch my friend play that all day.
15: go google a weird space fact and tell us what it is!
the first thing that came up is something i already knew but its also one of my favorite space facts so, the sun is 400x bigger than the moon, and also 400x farther away, so thats why they look the same size <3
17: what color do you really want to dye your hair?
i dont 'really want' to dye my hair at all but if i had to pick, id go ginger.

my fc leader makes smiley faces like :> and i think thats the cutest shit
31: what is your opinion of socks? do you like wearing weird socks? do you sleep with socks? do you confine yourself to white sock hell? really, just talk about socks.
sleeping with socks is a one way ticket to foot rot. i like socks but i cant wear anything that comes past my ankle. unfortunately that means they often slide down my foot and i have to keep fixing them. i mostly wear white socks bc its easiest to find thin enough socks in white. the more colors they have, the thicker they tend to be. and i prefer them very thin.

i like pretty pens but i dont use writing utensils often beyond writing dates on my calendar.

assuming the white/black spectrum doesnt count, probably blue?
40: think of a piece of jewelry you own: what’s it’s story? does it have any meaning to you?
the only one that means anything to me is the ring i wear all the time. my dad bought one for me and one for my brother when i was 16 i think. it's got a garnet in it. he said it was something of a family tradition, iirc. he has one, and i think his dad had one. i just know id spent the 16 years up to that point looking at his ring and wishing i could have something like that. id never voiced this desire but it was really nice to actually get one.
43: who was the last person you gazed at the stars with?
probably my mom and some other people who were in utah with us. you can see a lot more stars out in the desert.
46: tell us the worst pun you can think of.
hrm. well if youre putting me on the spot, you can have this exchange i had with my friend on the drive out here. the premise is, a mafia man treats every job like the last job, and thus he has his dick out for every job. what are they gonna do, fire him?
"Ay, Cock-Out Tony! You're endangerin' the mission!"
"That was my father, call me "Cock-and-Balls Anthony"!"
"That's a bit of a mouthful"
"It's SUPPOSED to be a mouthful!"

vegan cat food

50: what’s an odd thing you collect?
scars from cat scratches but not by choice.
55: what’s the most dramatic thing you’ve ever done to prove a point?
toss-up between rubbing harmless virginia creeper all over my face and body to prove to the boy scouts that it wasnt poison ivy, and sending my mom a big bouquet of flowers on father's day apologizing for not wishing her a happy mother's day, to prove to my dad that 'fuck you for getting passive aggressive about that bullshit'
59: what’s your favorite myth?
vampires real

mmmmm not particularly? i dont generally crave in-person hangouts. i want to hang out with my gf but we have not done that before so the 'havent seen in a long time' doesnt super apply.

spider lillies
68: what’s winter like where you live?
cold and sometimes snow happens. i hate it. its so dry.

a luigi board?

Day 75: Thursday March 16, 2023 - “Tourney Time”
We had a talk about bracket strategy.  About how you don't ever pick Sparty to win it all so that you don't double your heartbreak if they lose.  Gonna have to believe me on this one.  But that he could pick any other team in the field and Id read through them.  After passing on several prominent blue-bloods (seeds mean nothing to him), he says Inn-dee-anna and then says he's all done. Refused to pick any other games. And when I laughed, he demanded Elmo.  He was serious. He had made his pick.  
Ive always loved Tourney Time, since I was a kid and got to run the pool at my Dad’s work. Ive always loved the madness, remembering when we get to turn the TVs on in High School to watch the games. About how one time Sparty won it all, my freshman year of college.  Seems like a long time ago - and its been a real special run.  One reason Ive probably always loved Tourney Time?  Beacuse for the last 25 years in a row, Izzo has had our team in.  I was 16 last time they didn’t make it in!  And there is always that chance, that this year could catch some magic!   We have really liked this team from the start.  A fun team to watch, but they’ll have to do it from a seven seed.  I made sure William knew it’d be a tough task.
The first two days of the tournament saw some big names fall, including Arizona, which smashed my bracket on the opening afternoon.  Purdue, the #1 seed also fell to a 16. Nuts.  And by Friday night ESPN showed 0 perfect brackets remained.   But for baby William, both Sparty and the Hoosiers play on for Sunday.  Keep that basketball hat handy.
Song: CBS NCAA Basketball Theme
