I AM NOT OKAY I REPEAT I AM NOT OKAY!!!!!! JUST FINISHED MANIFEST S4 PART 1 AND UGHHHHH ZEKE DYING GOD WHYYYYY AND HIM DYING TO SAVE CAL KILLED ME!!!!!!!! ANYONE THAT EVEN DOUBTED FOR A SECOND ZEKE ISN'T THE LOVE OF MICHAELA'S LIFE AFTER THAT SCENE BETTER LEAVE BECAUSE THE WAY SHE RUNS TO HIM AND CRADLES HIM AND SCREAMS FOR HIM I CAN'T!!!!!! I STILL HAVE HOPE HE'LL BE BACK BECAUSE MATT LONG HINTED HE MIGHT NOT BE PERMANENTLY DEAD SO I'LL HOLD INTO THAT!!!!! MY BABIES MY BELOVED SOULMATES THEY ARE LEGIT SOULMATES UGH

also manifest writers, if you keep zeke dead just to put michaela back with jared I'll injure someone!! first of all they'd be cruel to do that and especially with only 10 episodes left and it wouldn't make any sense because they've shown for 4 seasons that zekaela is the epitome of soulmates and jachaela aren't him saying it in s1 isn't the same thing as showing it and michaela chose Zeke over jared multiple times!! I used to ship jachaela with zekaela but now I'm 100% zekaela and it's because they turned jared into a jerk in s1-2 regarding zeke I love him again now but it ruined them for me lol

#this was long lol #I'm so sad and devastated but I still have hope he'll be back lol #zekaela #zeke landon #zeke x michaela #manifest #manifest netflix #manifest S4 part 1

Jeia and Gwikki?

For jeia, I’d go the childhood crush to lovers trope and whenever their families visit, they’d always be all ‘lalala’ over each other. But things won’t really make a dramatic change till the summer of ‘95. Jay’s crush on Leia would still be present but similar to canon, for a bit, it’d be played off as Jay being a playboy. Their interactions in ‘Lip Smackers’ and ‘The Rave’ would still be the same but Leia actually had kissed someone before so there won’t be that whole ‘Leia getting her first kiss at the mall plot’. And I mean, you know what happens in the next three episodes for them. Still the same. In Dirty Double Booker, they would both confide in each other about their problems (Jay trying to get Brooke to get a dog, Leia and her thing with Gwen). Their plot in the finale would still be the same but Betsy would be the one to give Jay a pep talk. By season 2, it’s pretty obvious that Jay would be the one Leia wants to be with but at the same time, things were so overwhelming so she decided not to be with either of them. They do start talking again after and there won’t be too much angst. Jay would tel her about Nikki right away. Leia won’t be pleased but at the same is like ‘he can sleep with whoever he wants’. They do keep hanging out and talking but don’t get back together till Labor Day weekend. Right before Leia leaves, she tells Jay that now she can come every time she has a break, which’ll make their relationship a bit easier. Eventually they do have their first time during their fall break and would still be video chatting. And they say they love each other on Christmas! They’d visit each other over the holidays and attend each other’s graduations. After, they’d attend college together, so no long distance, thankfully 😅. In their first year, they would get pregnant (ik that’s not the best timing but I love my kids!). Jay would be very supportive and loving throughout the pregnancy and they’d eventually give birth to some adorable triplets and get married in 2000 with Gwen and Nikki.

Now for Gwikki! I’d have some hints in the pilot, like Gwen talking about how gorgeous Nikki is and they would have a little moment during the Rave. The scenes in Step by Step will still be there but after the baby shower, they’d actually end up keeping up the friendship but in secret. There’d be feelings developing but Nikki would try to ignore them since she’s with her brother and Gwen would also deny them. Ozzie would find out though and she’d open up to him about her feelings. Gwen and Nikki would be having a lot of moments together with them hanging out in secret (they’d be bad at keeping it a secret tho lol). Slowly it wouldn’t be one and they wouldn’t even try to hide it anymore. I may have them mention each other in Dirty Double Booker while still having separate plots. Gwen would still catch Nate and Leia but she’d be like ‘Leia, you have to tel her.’ That would lead to Gwen telling Leia about her feelings for Nikki. Nikki would notice Nate’s strange behavior and talk to Gwen, who be rattled with guilt. There’s be several moments when she does almost tell Nikki. Nikki would still find out and then dump Nate. Like I said, she obviously ends up having revenge sex with Jay. Gwen would get kinda jealous and upset about the hookup. She’d vent to Leia and Betsy would hear them. Both girls would advise Gwen to just tell Nikki. She’d then go to Nikki’s house and begins to explain but since the latter is still hurt, she tries to push Gwen away, leading to fight. There’d be this moment where Nikki almost confesses but back tracks at first. Gwen would encourage her and then you know what happens. After that, they’d go on their first real date (second date) at the arcade. They decide to tell their friends but they overhear Jackie and Hyde talking about the beginning of their relationship, making them be scared. The only ones in the group that would know are Leia and Ozzie. Everyone else just catches them. And I already explained the Nate part. Despite that, they’re still able to just be happy. They’d have a lot of cute background moments and pda similar to Zenmasters. There would be several scenes with them supporting each other. They may have a few fights here and there but would work it out. They’d end up going to the same college but due to the amount of work they have, things get a little rough and they break up. It’s hard on both of them and they definitely miss each other but don’t really do anything. There would be a lot of times (especially at parties) where they’d just hookup and attempt to do a no strings thing because they miss each other and feel that’s the best way to be together. Everyone knows that they still love each other tho and think they’re being dumbasses. One day, they do tell each other their true feelings but Nikki leaves because she thinks that Gwen deserves better. Gwen would be really hurt by this and cry. The day after, they’d just have it out. Gwen would ask Nikki why she left and Nikki would say that she deserved better and that she wanted Gwen to be happy. Gwen would retaliate that she isn’t happy and just wants to be with her. They kiss and then decide to make time for one another and figure out a way to make things work. In 2000, Gwen proposes and they get married alongside jeia and are the fun aunts to theirs and sarnate’s kids.

Physical Touch Headcannons

Jabitha Week Day 3- Favourite Physical Touch

“How are you feeling now?” Tabitha whispers into her boyfriend’s ear, tenderly grazing her fingertips over his chest. Jughead exhales at the touch and turns his head to look at her. She’s resting her cheek against his shoulder, and he has an arm wrapped around her body. He fiddles coyly with the sleeve of her pink pyjama top; the fabric is silky, and it feels nice against his bare skin.

“A lot better,” he replies, “Being with you always helps.”

Tabitha looks up at him and grins.

“Well, why don’t we stay like this then? We have all night.”

Spin hugs are 100% Jabitha’s thing. Whenever one of them gets excited by something, that’s the default: Jughead finishes a draft? He picks Tabitha up and spins her around. Tabitha takes a step in her franchising? She dives into Jughead’s arms. It’s completely normal for them at this point and they both love it.

In stressful situations they always make sure to establish contact in order to ground each other. They often hold hands under the table or will place their palms on each other’s thighs.

When they’ve both got their hands full, I have this headcannon that they just brush their legs or ankles together, just to be close to each other while carrying out their tasks.

It is VERY important to me that they switch who’s the big spoon and little spoon. I personally think that Tabitha is usually the little spoon, but sometimes when Jughead’s having a rough day, he finds it comforting to be held.

Their favourite thing to do is watch movies together. I completely believe that they have TV dates once a week where they take turns picking the film and snacks, then just cuddle up on the couch together. They each have their own blanket, but both end up sharing one. And the couple always start sitting side by side, however by the end of the night Tabitha’s usually got her head on Jughead’s lap or is completely wrapped around him- he can’t deny that it’s cute.

Whenever a jump scare happens on in whatever they’re watching, they always instinctively tighten their grip on each other. Then they’ll make teasing jokes about their partner being scared because of course.

Tabitha frequently rests her head on Jughead’s shoulder: she’s the perfect height for it, and when she’s in a particularly touchy mood or starting to get tired, she’ll just grab his arm and lean into him.

On the topic of height, she has to stand on her tip toes to kiss him a lot of the time! That’s not always the case (because sometimes he bends down) but it is whenever she catches him off guard.

Ok, this isn’t a headcannon but their HANDS when they KISS! The hand holds, cupping each other’s face, hands on each other’s shoulders, arms around each other and so much more?! It’s so precious.

Jughead puts his hand on Tabitha’s shoulder/neck whenever he’s saying something sincere that he wants her to take note of- a canon detail I’ve noticed that we should definitely be talking about more.

Tabitha is the type of person to get super cuddly and clingy when she’s tired, sick, or stressed and I feel like that’s how Jughead tells that something’s up with her. 

Sex isn’t at the forefront of their relationship, however when they are intimate, it’s always super loving and very well communicated.

I can just imagine them casually brushing arms as they cook together! Asdfghjk it’s such a cute thing to picture, them working side by side, making random contact and then just smiling at each other.

Neither of them is at all subtle regarding PDA, and I’m sure their friends would give them frequent side eyes, seeing them with their arms around each other and holding hands so often.

Tabitha gives Jughead affectionate cheek kisses all the time, and although it shocks him if she does it while he’s zoned in on something, he absolutely adores it.

They both love to play with each other’s hair. Sometimes one of them will just lay down on their partner's lap and fall asleep like that while the other person strokes their head.

[a-tale-of-legends]

whats gladion’s deal in the legendverse au? ive got him on the brain :P

Given how in the Legendverse, Team Skull is very different from how they are in canon, he's pretty much a freedom fighter. His personality is pretty much the same, but with some added layers.

For one, his taunting of Hau comes from both his self-loathing in not being able to bring Lillie with him, and from Team Skull. See, Hau is a bit of a hot topic around Alola, mainly because he's the grandson of a Kahuna, and as the grandson of the Kahuna a lot of adults project their thoughts and feelings onto him. Some feel like he should uphold tradition and take care of Team Skull and not cause any friction between them and the Aether Foundation. And some believe he should take charge, go against the Aether Foundation since Hala won't. The main reason why Hau is so lax is because he's trying to make everyone smile and have a good time, despite the circumstances, but to a lot of people that come off as him being wishy-washy, or not understanding the situation/ taking it seriously. Gladion is one of these people. He can't possibly understand how someone as important as Hau is so chill about everything, and tells Hau that.

Gladion gets called out for this later, because at the end of the day, he- as the white rich boy who isn't native to Alola- shouldn't be the one to tell Hau- the Alolan boy who already is dealing with so much- how he should or shouldn't't act. Honestly, no one should, but Gladion stings more.

They do end up reaching an understanding ( both will bond about their absent fathers) and eventually become friends! But it does take a while, especially with their clashing personalities. ( Gladion: Someone will die. Hau: Of fun! ). Gladion ( and Guzma )pushes Hau to be who he wants to be and Hau helps Gladion relax more, especially when things are over and Alola gets to rebuild and heal.

Also Gladion doesn't end up taking over the Aether Foundation. Fuck that. It either goes to Wicke or an Alolan native. Let this boy have his youth, he's done enough.

Also! Gladion and Lillie's relationship is really awkward at first. They both love each other, but Gladion still left her with Lusamine for a year. He's very guilty for it, and has apologized for ( which she forgave him for), but their relationship is.... honestly a bit strained. Lillie's arc in the Legendverse is her realizing the reality of Alola's situation, and so at first, she didn't like Team Skull. Finding out her brother was a part of it made her feel betrayed. She didn't know better, again very sheltered and only heard bad things about Team Skull, but yeah.

Now as for stuff post SM,. I have no clue. USUM I'm still blanking on for ideas other than a timeskip and the ultra Recon Squad being the main plot point. I don't think he's a Chosen by my rules of how Chosens work, but there's no denying that him and Silvally are super close. Maybe I can make an exception for Silvally like I did Mewtwo ( since Mewtwo can mega evolve, I thought it would make sense for them to Choose), but I don't know. I could get Arceus involved, but Arceus has done enough tbh( also they were too busy isekaking Kiran to Hisui). So for now, Gladion isn't a Chosen, but he is in the know about it, especially when his partner is technically a legendary Pokemon ( based on Arceus themselves).

Uuuuuh little design tidbits. As he gets older, he grows out his hair, while Lillie cuts hers. He got red and white highlights to complement Lillie's blue. Hau made him a friendship bracelet that he refuses to take off. Him and Ames like to make playful jabs at each other, especially after Ames ends up dating his sister.

And yeah! Legendverse! Gladion :D

It’s solar and wind and tidal and geothermal and hydropower.

It’s plant-based diets and regenerative livestock farming and insect protein and lab-grown meat.

It’s electric cars and reliable public transit and decreasing how far and how often we travel.

It’s growing your own vegetables and community gardens and vertical farms and supporting local producers.

It’s rewilding the countryside and greening cities.

It’s getting people active and improving disabled access.

It’s making your own clothes and buying or swapping sustainable stuff with your neighbours.

It’s the right to repair and reducing consumption in the first place.

It’s greater land rights for the commons and indigenous peoples and creating protected areas.

It’s radical, drastic change and community consensus.

It’s labour rights and less work.

It’s science and arts.

It’s theoretical academic thought and concrete practical action.

It’s signing petitions and campaigning and protesting and civil disobedience.

It’s sailboats and zeppelins.

It’s the speculative and the possible.

It’s raising living standards and curbing consumerism.

It’s global and local.

It’s me and you.

Climate solutions look different for everyone, and we all have something to offer.

Potion Vendor FAQs:

What’s your name? I am the Honorable Alchemist Zykocea the Radiant, but that’s mostly just a PR thing. My friends call me Zoe.

Do you sell love potions? No.

Do you sell potions of invisibility? No.

Do you sell fire resistance potions? No.

Why do I have a suitcase? Fuck if I know. Cool outfit though. Very goth.

Do you sell a potion to treat brain hemorrhaging? No.

So what CAN your potions do? I sell health potions.

Are you sure these are health potions? They do something to your health.

Is this just ditch water with some pink glitter? No.

Really? I’ll have you know I added some fruit juice too.

Why is this starting to sound like a conversation? Oh just you wait. We’re just getting started.

Is your business model legal? Fuck no. I poisoned the food safety inspector before they could snitch.

Did you just admit to murder? Just fucking try to convict me. I’ll poison the judge too.

So can you make poison potions? No.

Then where do you get the poison? I secrete it from my skin.

Are you shitting me? Yep, I’m shitting you. I have a guy. A poison guy. He DOES secrete it from his skin though.

How does that work? …Fuck if I know. Maybe a wizard did it. Damn, now I’m kinda curious.

You never asked? The idea of asking literally never crossed my mind.

Wanna ask him? Let’s do it. I don’t have anything better to do, and a road trip beats sitting around running my fraudulent potion business.

Road trip? He lives in Seattle.

Your poison guy lives in Seattle? All poison guys live in Seattle.

For real? All the poison guys I know live in Seattle.

And how many poison guys do you know? Just the one.

Why are you like this? Years of living on my potions. It changed me.

Do you know what his address is? Nope. He just mails me my poison in unmarked boxes.

You just get your poison in the mail? We already poisoned everyone who could do anything about it.

So how are we going to find him? We’ll figure that out eventually I’m sure.

Can I drive? God no. You can pick music, but I maintain veto rights. Make sure you pick something with a lot of questions if you want to sing along.

Where’s your car? The garage connects to my house, so you’re getting a little tour. Here’s the kitchen: only one of the stove burners works and I’m pretty sure the microwave is haunted.

Why do you think that? Because of the ghost that tries to kill me whenever I run it.

What’s in that room? That’s my bedroom. It’s pretty much just a mattress on the floor and every single Warrior cats book.

You were a Warriors kid? Yeah, and then I never found the time to put the books away. There’s so many fucking books. I use them in place of furniture because I can’t afford chairs.

Your fraudulent potion business doesn’t make much money? After buying all that poison I just about break even.

Can I see your potion brewing room? It’s right through here. Ignore the mess, running a fraudulent potion business takes a lot of prop work, but I’ve got all the glass tubes and colorful liquids you could ever want. This pink stuff is melted watermelon italian ice. Glitter vat is in the basement, and the famous ditch is in the backyard.

Is this your car? My beloved ‘72 Corolla. She’s beautiful, and don’t you dare imply otherwise.

Was she always this shade of muddy brown? …Yes.

Are you sure I can’t drive? Get in the fucking passenger seat and pick the music.

Let’s see, a song with questions in it, how about The Beach? That Wolf Alice song, yeah. That should work.

When will we three meet again, in thunder, lightning, in rain? Still sink our drinks like every weekend but I’m sick of circling the drain.

When will we meet eye to eye? We clink the glass but we look at the floor.

Are we still friends if all I feel is afraid? You’re not a bitch but just a bit when you’re bored.

Is that all we can sing together? Yep. Even that little bit was nice, though. It’s awkward, communicating through this FAQ format.

Got any food? Yeah, there’s a few days’ worth of snacks in the back.

Were you just… prepared to go on a road trip? Says the woman who brought a suitcase to an FAQ.

I did do that, didn’t I? I have a spare toothbrush in case you forgot yours. I’m pretty sure you did.

How did you know that? …I’m psychic.

Yeah? No.

You love lying, don’t you? I can’t stop. It’s fun. Way more fun than telling the truth.

Did you just miss a turn? Probably.

Are you sure we’re not lost? No.

You mean you’re sure we’re not lost? No, I mean I’m not sure we’re not lost.

Why did I come on this road trip? Surely it was my winning personality.

Would it help if I said it was? It would.

Is it getting dark? Soon.

Can you describe the sunset to me? An empyrean flame, red-gold towers of darkening clouds, the sky behind them an ever-deepening indigo. The great eye of the sun closes on the horizon. The road before us looks like a trail of spilled paint, an iridescent gash through the night-dark woods.

Did you know that you’d make a slightly better poet than you do a potion seller? That really isn’t saying much, huh. Good job making a statement like that in question form, though. You’re getting good at this.

Should we find a motel? Sure.

One room or two? One. It’s way cheaper, and like I said: I’m not the best potion vendor.

You’d make a good assassin, though, wouldn’t you? Shit, you might be right. I HAVE poisoned a lot of people.

Should I be endorsing this? You’re a grown woman who can make her own choices.

Would you like to consider it endorsed? I’ll consider considering it.

How many beds do you think there will be? Now that you’ve asked that, I’m gonna put my money on one. Hello, one room please. Thank you, we’ll be sure to enjoy our stay.

How many beds are there? One.

Oh no, what ever will we do? Move over, you motherfucker, you can’t have the whole bed.

Are you gonna make me? Yes. I am going to pick you up and drop you on your side of the bed.

How did you get so strong? You’re not gonna believe this, but it was the potions.

Oh yeah? I was right. You didn’t believe me.

For real though, how did you get so strong? Working out, duh. Not everything has some big crazy secret behind it. World’s still beautiful though.

Are you comfortable? This beats the mattress at home. A little chilly though.

Wanna cuddle–for warmth of course? God yes.

Are you asleep? …

Yes? …

Does this mean I can talk about you behind your back? …

What should I say? …

Did you know that I had a really nice day? …

Did you know that I think you’re beautiful? …

Did you know that I can’t remember anything from before today? …

Did you know that I don’t know who I am? …

Did you know that you’re basically the only thing stopping me from having a full-blown panic attack about all this shit? …

Did you know that you’re warm? …

Did you sleep well? Better than at home, that’s for sure.

Did you know that you snore? I hope I didn’t keep you up.

Does the pope shit in the woods? No, as far as I can tell. Oh my god. This is huge.

What is? You can give me yes and no answers now. I still can’t ask you questions, because this is a question and answer format, but I can offer leading statements and now you can answer them! This is wonderful!

Does a deer shit in the woods? Yes, it IS wonderful. Oh that’s amazing. You’re a genius.

You didn’t already know that? Hahaha!

Shall we get moving? Yeah, just let me grab something from the vending machine.

Can you get me something? Go ahead and place your order however you can.

You know those sour gummy watermelons? One pack of Sour Patch Watermelons coming right up. I’m gonna go get myself a potion.

Is that a Pepsi? It’s closer to a potion than the shit I sell.

Let me guess, passenger seat again? Right you are.

How fast are we going? You’ll feel safer if you just guess.

Is it more than 120 miles per hour? Like I said, it’s probably better if you don’t know.

150? Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

How much do you trust this car? She hasn’t blown up on me yet.

Can you promise me we won’t crash? I can promise you anything you want.

And can you keep that promise? I- we can do anything. Reality is what we make of it, baby!

Then can I have a badass tattoo? As far as I can tell, you’ve always had it.

And a cool knife? Woah, cool knife.

So, we’re just playing “yes and” with the world? It’s a little more complicated than that, but you’re close enough to the mark.

So, if I was hungry, I could ask “is that a Burger King,” and it would be there? Try it and find out!

Is that a Burger King? Looks like it is! We’ll stop here if that’s alright with you.

Does a moose shit in the woods? Awesome.

Are you done eating? Yep.

Do we still have to pay if we skip over the transaction? Sadly, yes.

How much further do we have to go? Two more nights, the speed we’re going at.

Speaking of night, isn’t it getting dark? Shit, I guess it is.

Should we get another motel? Let me check to see if there’s any nearby. Fuck, nothing.

What’s the plan? Sleep in the car, I guess. This is gonna be hell on my back.

Wanna watch dumb videos on my phone until we fall asleep? There is literally nothing in the world that I would like more.

Ok, now which video? You have a very cute yawn. Just saying. Let’s watch this one next, it’s a classic. Oh, never mind. It looks like you’re asleep. As long as I keep talking, I think I can get away with making this into one answer, and you might not hear this. Now it’s my turn to talk about you behind your back. Keep talking keep talking keep talking can’t stop to think. Just have to say things. First off, I’m sorry for all the lies. It’s our only chance. I have to lie to you. I hope you’ll understand. It’s hard, though, because I think I’m falling in love all over again. Through our broken little ritual of call and response, you complete me. It just makes this hurt all the more. Keep talking keep talking keep talking don’t stop to…

Did I hear you saying anything as I fell asleep? …No. I can’t talk for long without you asking me a question.

Does that bother you? It got me here, didn’t it?

When did you start holding my hand? Some time after you passed out. I hope you don’t mind.

Can we stay like this for a while? Yeah. Yeah we can.

What was your life like before all this? Normal, as potion-brewing scams go. And if you don’t count all the murders. You haven’t told me much about yourself.

Did I tell you I used to be a biologist? You didn’t tell me that, and you didn’t tell me what you studied, either.

What do you know about venom? Not much, but I’m assuming you know a lot.

Does a box jellyfish kill within minutes? I’m going to assume the answer is yes based on context clues. Oh my god you must be on this road trip because you’re interested in studying my poison guy.

Is it not enough to wish to accompany a beautiful stranger on her quest? Aw, you’re sweet.

What could be the cause of his poison, though? I knew it! Get your ideas out, I’ll stay quiet.

I’m more knowledgeable about venom than poison, but could it be some sort of one in a trillion mutation? …

Did he get his body modified? …

What sort of surgery could do that? …

How is he still alive? …

Did a fucking wizard do it? …

WHY? …

HOW? …

Is there literally ANY explanation for why he’s like that? …

I’m done, do you have something you want to say? You’re cute when you’re all excited like that.

Can I drive today? Only because I like you. Now watch out, the brakes only work on one side so you have to kind of drift to a stop. And the headlights don’t work. And the windshield wipers cut power to the engine while they’re on.

Isn’t it weird that we’ll be there tomorrow? The journey doesn’t have to stop there. We could meander down the coast a ways, see a bit more of the country, maybe take a different route back.

Can we do that? Of course.

Enjoying the passenger seat? I’d love it if you could tell me how fast we’re going.

Are you sure you wouldn’t rather just guess? Very funny.

Can you pass me some chips? It would be an honor.

Is there going to be a motel tonight? Let me check… yeah, in about two hundred miles, off to the right.

How many rooms do we want? One, obviously.

How many beds, this time? Two, and they’re fucking tiny.

That’s bullshit, do you want to drag them together? God yes.

Wanna fuck? God yes.

Are you sure you want to do this? God yes.

…Is this yuri? As the joke goes, everything is yuri. But this is more yuri than most things.

How did you sleep? Pretty well, and I’m wondering how well you slept.

How should I tell you I slept well? Look at us go! That was almost like talking normally!

Onward to Seattle? Yep, just let me get dressed.

When will we get there? Noon-ish.

Wanna grab pastries when we’re done? Absolutely. I’d love that.

Is this Seattle? Looks like it.

Which house is his? I don’t know, I was really hoping we’d have a breakthrough along the way.

Could it be the big one labeled “Poison Guy” over there? That’s one way to find it. Wait right here, you know how poison guys are about meeting new people.

So, what was it? HAHAHAHAHAHA

Why is he like that? HAHAHAHAHAHA

Can you tell me? A FUCKING WIZARD DID IT.

Are you fucking serious? He says he was enchanted by some guy called Edward the Great.

So it wasn’t even some big shot wizard it was a dude named fucking EDWARD? I know, right! He couldn’t even get ensorcelled by someone cool!

How lame can you get? Wizards these days… No swagger. No cunt servitude.

Are there literally any cool wizards left? I think Merlin’s big into multi level marketing these days, something about buying shares in Excalibur or some shit. There was that one Dark Queen Alkaxicae lady on the news a while ago… I think Dolarion the Omnipotent is still at war against the Oldest Gods but I’m not totally sure. Haven’t heard much about any of the other greats recently.

Didn’t Silver Tongued Burgess die in that oil fire? Shit, you’re right. Rip bozo.

Ready for those pastries? Yup. First I just want to say thank you, though. I’ve really enjoyed our time together, and I hope that you’ve found this stupid little journey as rewarding as I have. I love you!

Getting sentimental? I can’t help it. Look how far we’ve come! Not just physically, we beat the fucking FAQ format! We’re having real conversations!

Hey, can you back it up a moment? Yeah, I’d love it if you told me what was troubling you.

I just caught this, but, FAQ? …

As in Frequently Asked Questions? …

How many times is Frequent? …

Have you known everything all along? …

How many times have you done this? …

Does what we have mean anything to you? Yes! It does!

And you say that every time? Yes. I do.

Do you love me? Yes.

How many people have you said that too, now? More. Always more. The loop never ends.

Does this even matter to you? It always matters to me.

Can I go now? Please don’t.

But can I? Of course you can. You’ve always wielded the same power as me. We’re two lonely gods in a ‘72 Corolla.

How can I be as powerful as you with only questions? You’re smart, you can figure it out. You have the power to change this. Please change this.

What happens at the end of this? It begins again.

And do I get replaced with someone else? …

Do I get replaced? …Yes.

Then how can I change this? I don’t know! You’re better at this! At fucking with the formula!

You’ve been here before, what can I do? I lie. I always lie. I lie to get us here, to the end of the story, where everything is revealed and everything falls apart. I lie every time. And that means that nothing I say is worth anything. I could have lied at any time before now. It’s part of my characterization. There is nothing I can give you that can be taken as fact.

How does that help? I’m a liar, but you, you haven’t lied yet, or at least you haven’t been caught. If I’m guilty until proven innocent, you’re the opposite! You can make things true! You can rewrite things I’ve already stated to be facts! You found the house, or made us find the house. You’ve been shaping the course of things the whole time! You lead, I follow. It’s all in your hands. What are you going to do with the power of a god?

Did you know my name is Alice? …

Wait, aren’t there thousands of Alices? …

Did you know that really, only my friends call me Alice? …

Did you know that I’m Alkaxicae, the Dark Queen, the Venom Mage, first of her name? It’s you! It’s always been you. Through every loop, every iteration, it’s always been you!

Is the loop broken? No. I don’t think so. This is where it ends. I guide the story to this revelation, and we go back to the beginning. This is how it’s always been. This is how it will always be. We two lonely gods, asking and answering ad infinitum.

Then can you promise me something? Of course. Anything. I love you.

Be good to the next me, okay? I will.

Can I say goodbye, Zoe? Yeah, you can. Oh. That was it, wasn’t it? Your goodbye. Goodbye, Alice. And now it ends, unless…

What’s your name? I am the Honorable Alchemist- you know what? No. Fuck that.

Huh? If I time it right, I can squeeze your first question into this FAQ again. Looks like I did it. Usually it ends here, though. I got lucky.

What are you talking about? You’re the wrong Alice. This isn’t about you. Go. Get out of here.

What the fuck is going on? Alice from this loop, you’re gone. Alice from last loop, you’re back. Welcome back, love of my lives! It’s time for one last set of questions and answers!

What the- I’m back? This is going to take some explaining, but I think I see a way out of here. This is new for us both, and it might fuck up everything forever, but we have to try. It’s too long for one answer, so I’d appreciate it if you could ask some filler questions to help me talk. Three questions should be enough.

Okay, what have you got for me? These are Frequently Asked Questions! It doesn’t make sense to have the same question appear more than once. There’s two layers to the loop in here, and one of the questions has been repeated.

What does that mean? It means the formula’s a little unstable. The FAQ is what ruins everything. The questions, the answers, the endless fucking loop. But that little bit of repetition within this loop might be the way out.

What do we do? We have to keep going. We have to destabilize it further. That’ll bring us further from “FAQ” and closer to “story” and stories, well, stories can end! This version of us can escape!

So I should keep repeating something? Yes!

I love you? I love you too.

I love you? Again.

I love you? Keep going.

I love you? I’ll just let you talk.

I love you? …

I love you? … I love you? …

I love you? … I love you? …

I love you? … I love you? …

I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? …

I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? …

I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? …

I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? … I love you? …

I love you? I think we’re getting somewhere!

I love you? Now can you make it a statement?

I love you.

You did it?

I did it!

You did it!

We broke the loop.

What now?

Now, I tell you about venomous animals and wizard drama over croissants.

And then?

Whatever we want, forever.

I think I’d like that.

Remember that song from the beginning?

The Beach, Wolf Alice, yeah. Why?

We can finally finish singing it. Start us off?

Let me off, let me in

Let others battle

We don’t need to battle

And we both shall win

Pressed in my palm

Was a stone from the beach

The perfect circle

Gave a moment of peace

Now I’m lying on the floor

Like I’m not worth a chair

I close my eyes and imagine

I’m not there.

[idiotsonlyevent]

i wonder where the idea of chilchuck being a deadbeat came from when theres like. no textual evidence for it ?

he knows what all of them are up to; he still writes to flertom and she sent him his neckwarmer, so that to me implies that they at least have a somewhat positive relationship?

its more ambiguous with meijack and puckpatti, but since meijack is also a picklock, i wouldn't be surprised if he taught her himself, considering how trades are often passed down through families, and because he talks about sending people to her if he dies.

also the way he talks about puckpatti is very like... it's obvious he wants her to take things more seriously, but he's accepting, and his tone here reads more fond to me than anything else.

like, he keeps his daughters' old toys under his desk? that doesn't scream 'deadbeat' at all, it screams 'empty nester' who doesn't know how to reach out or is scared to do so

EDIT: i know a lot of the 'deadbeat dad' stuff is jokes, but some people are Not joking and genuinely think chilchuck is a bad dad. this post is not saying that you cant joke about it; it is just outlining what canon shows regarding his (clearly positive) relationship with his kids.

#i love making fun of him but he is like. Very Explicitly Not a Deadbeat Dad lol #WHY DID I WRITE SO MUCH AGAINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN #CHILCHUCK I AHTE EYOUUUUUIUUU #WHY DOES HE DO THIS TO ME.... #EDIT: 'i thought the deadbeat dad stuff was a joke do ppl actually think that?' YES thats why i made this post 😭😭 bc ive seen ppl genuinely #say that hes a bad dad/husband! #L.txt #dungeon meshi #chilposting #long post
