SECOND CITADEL LIZARD TRIAD AAAAAAA <3

#SQUEEEEE #apparently I only get shippy feelings about triads #the second citadel #the penumbra podcast #the battle at world's end

[mccoyquialisms]

wait, there’s for real, serious discourse about the bad kids killing the rat grinders? people realize they’re watching a show based on the “burn towns, get money, slaughter our enemies to save the day” game, right?

#I probably don’t want to necessarily be kicking this particular hornet nest but #this is deeply baffling to me #like it’s a BATTLE #if they don’t kill them they’re going to end the world??? like??? #revivify exists someone can just bring them up later they’ll be fine #but that’s not even really the point. villains DIE in dnd. that’s what they do #no one better be acting like weirdos to the cast about this or I will ACTUALLY be mad #fantasy high #dimension 20 #dropout #fhjy spoilers #I don’t love putting this in main tags but in case someone is blocking spoilers #my musings

the blade is folded steel. that’s gold filigree laid into the handle. if i may — perfectly balanced. the tang is nearly the full width of the blade.

#they are so asuka and shinji coded.. #anyways lonely but independent country boy chuuya meets sad and hyperemotional but pampered cityboy dazai at preschool #chuuya ends up having to help dazai get to the classroom everyday. and plays with him during recess. #and has to keep defending dazai from bullies. and has to help him put on bandages. #toddler chuuya forced to tie dazai's shoelaces everyday bc dazai don't know how. double knots them so he won't trip and he trips anyways. #no rest for toddler chuuya. everyday is a battle. he works nonstop. #toddler dazai so lucky he got pitied on by the world most loyal dog. #ask #doodles #skk

what is the theory that ivan manipulated the event where till and mizi met the wagyein?

It's not a theory, actually! It's confirmed that Ivan orchestrated the whole event. The true reason as to why however is still unknown. The information provides more context to this scene, though:

During the earlier times of ALNST the most rational explanation for this scene was that Till ran after a flower crown (presumably Mizi's) and Ivan followed him in out of curiosity. Now we know that Ivan was conveniently just standing there because he was waiting.

Side note, I find it heartbreaking (and maybe a little funny, sorry) that Till most likely didn't notice Ivan in this scene. That's just like him, isn't it. Always too busy running after Mizi while Ivan trails behind, an ever-present shadow.

I'm not sure how Ivan manipulated the circumstances for both of them to end up there, but it is confirmed that everything was intentional. What strikes me most is how they describe this particular scene:

I can't copy down what they said word-for-word (Patreon info), but they described Ivan watching "creepily" as Till and Mizi are faced with danger. We know that Ivan was familiar with the Cerberus wagyein beforehand, enough to touch its teeth and even to rest himself inside its maw. To Ivan, the wagyein is not dangerous, but to Till and Mizi, it could be. Ivan prepared the wagyein, led them there, and watched "creepily" from afar as Till fell on his knees, seemingly injured.

The closest I can get to making sense of Ivan's "scheme" is that he wanted to see how other children would react in a dangerous situation. Ivan's always been an observer, after all, and he's learned to survive by copying the more "normal" behaviors of his peers. This situation occured when Ivan was still young and had not yet developed his more charming mask, so perhaps he staged this encounter to study a situational response, to learn and mimic the emotion of fear. And what better subjects for the experiment than two of the most expressive and reactive humans of their batch? It helps that he was already fixated on Till beforehand, too. I think Ivan became irreversibly obssessed after this incident, especially since it's framed as a turning point in Ivan's life, comparing Till to the stars.

This is just my attempt at an interpretation, though. It could very well be for another reason. He most likely chose Till and Mizi specifically for personal reasons, not just for reaction. I'm still not sure on the purpose behind the whole thing.

The team wanted to capture Ivan's "dark emotions" through the shot of his stalking, which could relate to his more sinister intentions. His gaze can be read in a few different ways, though. Curiosity, interest, fear, etc. Maybe that's why they decided to redraw the shot in ROUND 6.

I think this better sells the feeling they were trying to convey.

#ivan u fucked up little guy. #also okay i just wanna clear this up #i know i make a lot of posts about ivans darker side and his more problematic traits #but this isn't me trying to villainize him or reduce him down to “toxic yaoi” #I HOPE YOU GUYS KNOW ALL MY TOXIC YAOI POSTS ARE LIGHTHEARTED. #i just want to clarify that ivan was always intended to be a darker and complicated character. even since his debut in round 3 #the way i refer to ivan (“twisted” “creepy” “obssessive” etc) are literally the direct words used by q and v themselves to describe him #but despite that id like to emphasize that i don't see ivan as a villain or a completely bad person. hes complicated #there is no normalcy in this world they are living in. none of the characters know what being truly normal is #this isn't me condoning his actions #but it has to be acknowledged that alnst is fucked up in nature. we can't expect perfect relationships from people who are born to die #plus ivan has a lot more layers past the “dark” parts. he's constantly battling himself and his desires #especially at the end of round 6 where he performs a myriad of conflicting actions (kiss strangle peck smile) #thanks to the r6 production notes we now know that ivan was going through a rapid internal conflict #“sure and unsure at the same time” #there is sooo much to ivan. his low self-esteem. his desire and possessiveness despite knowing till will never love him #his VEHEMENT insistence that till will never love him vs his desperate persistence in trying anyway #uh i need to shut up i think #anyways sorry. just wanted to clarify my thoughts on him in case people think im. yk. #in short. hes a fucked up little freak and he fascinates me. this poor tragic child. i love him. #SORRY I GOT CARRIED AWAY #alnst #alien stage #alien stage ivan #alnst ivan #asks

Who becomes the closest with splinter after they decide “hey maybe we shouldn’t kill humanity?”

I'm not sure, honestly. I guess Leo? He's already on the Lou Jitsu hypetrain, something he feels a lot of guilt about considering he views Splinter as evil. So when he figures out that Splinter isn't actually a terrrible person he'd be pretty excited to get to know him better. And while Leo isn't exactly neglected by Draxum, he still doesn't usually get quite all attention he needs from his dad (middle child lol) so he might be quicker to seek out an extra father figure.

Raph and Mikey would eventually get closer to Splinter as well, though!

#at the same time i'm pretty sure leo would grow closer to drax as well after he decides to give up on his world domination plan #there has been some tension slowly building between them for years at this point #and all of the events surrounding donnie and the dark armour and leo going against draxum and EVERYTHING really in the main story #would really force the two of them to confront the unrest in their relationship #which would be a bit messy sure #but they'd both benefit from it and end up with a better understanding of the other #draxum trying to improve his parenting skills vs splinter trying to his parenting skills #EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORY!!! #Tiz Sep AU

What is it that the Rat Grinders actually want exactly? Or at least, what does Kipperlilly want since she's the one we know the most about.

At the top of the season it seemed like she wanted to Be The Best at school and Be Recognized in a very Tracy Flick/Sara Berry kind of way and was just going to crazy lengths to get there because this is a world where you help a dragon kidnap girls so you can be Prom Queen and life goes on. But now we know that the Rat Grinders are a part of Porter's larger plan and one of the major steps of that plan is completely abolishing Aguefort as an institution.

It's clear what Porter gets out of this. He gets to be a god and he gets to continue his imperialistic family legacy. And I would maybe get what Kipperlilly would get out of this is she were the Cleric/Paladin of the plan. She'd get to be the new god's champion, like she was gushing to Lucy. That's maybe worth something to an achievement hunting, Type A individual.

But she's not gonna get to be the best student at Aguefort if Aguefort doesn't exist anymore. Hell, Elmville won't really exist anymore. Is Porter planning on opening a new Adventuring School in Rage Elmville and she gets to be the god Principal's pet? Does she think he's gonna make things "fair" for her somehow? How? Retroactively killing her parents? Does she want to use the powers she cheesed from the easy XP he drip fed her to be a renown adventurer? Kinda hard to pull that off when everyone knows you were part of the plan that doomed the town. Maybe she thought they were going to get away with it without being implicated? Does she literally not want anything other than a chance to kill the Bad Kids? Or even pettier, to just to be stronger than Riz? Is that worth it to her? To damn the whole town just so she can say that she beat Riz once? Did she want something concrete at one point but at this point she's just lost in the sauce and doing whatever the next task is without knowing what she'd even do with a victory if she got it? Did she already get what she wanted in the free XP and now she's just paying her end of the bargain?

I'm just very unsure about what her version of a happy ending is here.

#dimension 20 #d20 #fantasy high #kipperlilly copperkettle #i was gonna save this for a recap but I may do the last 2 recaps put together bc they're battle eps #so we'll see #if porter was literally just like do you want a chance to kill her rivals and they were like boy do I! that'd be nuts #I have to assume there was more to it than that but idk man #even if the RG's have rage stars I think that means they're influenced not mind controlled puppets #I assume she has goals and desires #I just have no idea what they could be at this point in the story #and if it's just to be stronger then woof #crazy reason to damn your town to being rage city #in her mind what is her place in the endgame? #and what would be 'fair' to her? #even before she ended up in this plot what did she want that she wasn't getting? #like in her world what should they do to compensate for her not having a dead dad? #curve her grade? #kill her dad? #like practically what did she want? #i think it would have made sense if kipperlilly was doing a kind of syndrome thing #making up threats to defeat #inventing her own plot hooks #but this plan doesn't seem very mastermind rogue of her #I guess blind rage isn't great for evil plans #also for that matter what's up with jace

My Comfort Characters and whether I think they're autistic or not

did this because I have a habit of clinging onto characters with autistic or otherwise neurodivergent traits(I wonder why 🤔(hint: it's because I'm autistic))

also I'm putting all the fandoms in order of appearance in the tags so you know how to find them because I recommend all the media these characters are from

JD is going to ugly baby cry when he finally finds Clay? Like the overflow of Relief and happiness Will literally turns him into a blabbering mess That only Floyd can understand Because Floyd is the sensitive one.

I haven’t fully decided how the moment would go, there’s a lot of directions but I did decide to kind of do a concept doodle of this scenario, sort of. I was gonna send it with this ask but I think it deserves its own post for how long it is XD but know you were the ask that spawned it. But yeah I have lots of ideas on what could possibly happen, the biggest aspect of it that is subject to change is whether or not Clay is there in what would be this aus version of the Branch Floyd reunion from the movie, and then like what goes with that you know?

I’m more along the idea that Clay would be there, as would most of them, due to the circumstances having changed so drastically that they wouldn’t be separated by a fight, but you never know. This is pretty close tho to some of like my first thoughts, also sorry for taking a literal month to answer again the concepts I made were meant to go with this but I was going through so many drafts I legit just exploded.

The concept doodle will probs be posted tomorrow tho ;D

#Ryss responds #trolls au #n2 au #not the only one au #trolls #I’m just tryna have fun with it #so whichever option is most fun for me in the end is the one I’m going with #there’s a lot of changes to the third movie with how the cards are laid #I’m trying to think of fun ways to spice up the second movie but like tbh #not much really changes #because it doesn’t really have to #there are some fun moments I’ve thought of #like delta would def recognize branch and Floyd if I decide to let Floyd tag along #which changes entirely how lonesome flats plays out #there’s a sax battle I could do if my mystery mouseketool joins along #but then like after it’s pretty much the same lol #which I suppose is fine but you know #there’s also the fact that due to how the trolls movie timeline works if John is in da bottle he’s just missing for a month #then for the world tour #and then a month after #which is something that would become significant since John would be spending more time in troll village after movie one #but yeah lots of things rotating in this brain

Question for the writers out there: Who would your protag be if they went down their darkest timeline? (Assuming they aren't already in their darkest timeline, in which case, who would they be if things were better?)

#Twenari and Sepo would be rivals tearing apart the Janazi sea with their pirate vs siren battles #Djek would become an assassin I think #Izjik would end the world #Astra would be a perfect reflection of Vermir and Mashal would probably try to kill her #Ivander would just work at a bank that's his darkest timelime #writing #writerscommunity #writblr #my ocs
