#yeah that was probably a weird quote to choose

[swamp-adder]

I keep wondering about the financial situation between Holmes and Watson after the Hiatus. At Holmes' request, Watson quits his job and moves back in with Holmes to continue helping him with cases. Did Watson receive any kind of payment for his help -- a cut of the money Holmes received from his clients perhaps? A lot of fanfiction seems to assume they were equal partners and Watson got half; but honestly any scenario I can imagine seems awkward to me in one way or another:

- Watson being treated as an equal partner and getting half the money seems awkward when according to what's depicted in the stories Holmes was doing the vast majority of the actual work and Watson was mostly there because Holmes liked having someone to talk to.

- Watson receiving some money, but not a full half, makes Watson explicitly subordinate to Holmes in an employer/employee relationship, which just seems like an awkward dynamic to introduce into any friendship.

- Watson not getting paid at all would be awkward because Watson just quit his job for the sake of helping Holmes out, and has also been forbidden by Holmes from publishing any more stories for the time being. Meanwhile Holmes at this point in his career we're told is absolutely rolling in dough, creating a serious income disparity between them which could hardly help but be awkward.

Watson's financial resources that we know of at this point would consist of his wound pension and whatever royalties he's still getting from his earlier stories, plus the money he got from "Verner" for his medical practice. We're told in DYIN that Holmes' "payments [for the flat] were princely. I have no doubt that the house might have been purchased at the price which Holmes paid for his rooms during the years that I was with him." That makes it sound like Holmes was more than paying the full rent for the apartment by himself, so at the least Watson was probably living there for free. (This quote is from DYIN, which seems to be set pre-Hiatus, so this arrangement might have begun even by then.) Which also seems potentially awkward -- like something that could make Watson feel like a freeloader or whatever.

Honestly it's very understandable why Watson never explicitly talks about money, because the whole thing is just awkward any way you slice it!!

In the earlier days the whole thing seems less awkward to me because a) Holmes had less money himself and b) Watson is just choosing not to get a job and to run around with his friend instead, rather than having given up his career specifically at Holmes' request.

One thing that makes the "Watson lives for free at Holmes' place, eats out at Holmes' expense etc but doesn't get paid in cash" scenario seem more likely to me is the fact that Holmes felt the need to give Watson a bunch of money sneakily through buying his practice -- it makes me think he felt like he couldn't pay him in a more straightforward, above-board way -- that Watson would be offended by it or whatever.

On the other hand I was also reading some stuff on the wiki about the concept of the "lady's companion", where a usually single upper-class woman would invite a single female friend to live with her and pay her an "allowance" in exchange for social companionship. The companion was technically an employee but was treated more like a member of the family. Now, there are reasons why this arrangement was specific to women: a) there were very few ways for an upper-class woman to actually earn a living that wouldn't compromise her upper-class status; and b) upper-class women were expected to stay at home most of the time, so a woman living alone (especially in the country) could easily become lonely. But it does show that there was at least some kind of concept in this historical era of "living with a wealthy friend and being financially supported by them as if you were family" without it being Weird. So yeah IDK.

A/N: this took forever because I was almost done with it when I realized what I'd written didn't work with the theme, so I had to start all over again. This is also my first time writing Han, so I hope you'll enjoy it!

As usual, you hear Jisung before you see him. It's not all that surprising, the boy’s pretty loud, and, if you didn’t have a misanthropic reputation to uphold, you might even admit that you like hearing his laugh when you walk across campus, or when you catch him mid rant as you walk into the cafeteria.

Thing is, it also means that he’s around people, and you don’t… do… people. So, even though seeing him is invariably a highlight in your day, when you hear his voice, you find yourself debating whether you should head in another direction. If you don’t, you’ll have to talk to him, and as a result, them, whoever they are, because it would be weird not to, right, and you’re just not sure you have the energy for that right now.

Or ever.

Today, as isn’t uncommon, you freeze for a second, take a step back, then decide to push on. If anyone noticed that, you probably just looked extremely weird, but it’s likely that no one was paying attention, and so you keep going with a minimal amount of mortification, for now anyway. You might ruminate over it later today, like you will if there’s any hitch in the conversation that's coming, but that’s a problem for 2 a.m. you.

You’re somewhat relieved to find that Jisung’s chatting with Chan and Changbin. You’re not close with them, but you kinda get along with Changbin, and though you find Chan intimidating, your interactions with him so far have been fine, which is high enough of a bar to clear as far as you’re concerned.

Jisung notices you almost immediately, which fills you with pleasant warmth, and he waves at you with a bright smile. You choose to take that as an invitation to come closer and an indication that you wouldn’t be interrupting anything — if it’s not, that’s on him because it was unclear — and make your way over to them.

“On your way to an exam?” Jisung asks you once you’ve reached them.

“Do you think I would make myself late to talk to you?” you reply with a frown.

It makes him laugh. Sometimes it worries you, how funny Jisung seems to find you when you’re being mean. If it was when you’re being a dick to someone else, why not, but to him too? Is he okay?

“I can’t tell if this is you being a good influence on him or not,” Chan says, tilting his head. There’s an amused glint in his eyes too. Okay, that means you’re not doing too bad.

“Are you guys done with classes?” you ask. “Were you heading to the studio?”

“No,” Jisung is quick — maybe a little too quick — to answer. “We were just talking about a track we’re working on.”

Four eyes narrow on him, and Changbin grins.

“Yeah, ‘cause Jisung here’s been feeling all romantic lately, right?”

Jisung throws him a horrified look.

“You’ve been turning in very sappy lyrics lately, hm?” Chan keeps going.

“I’m the draught, you’re rain, I’m paper, you’re a poem, wasn’t it?” Changbin quotes from memory, a wide, shit-eating grin on his face.

“Do you want to die?” Jisung asks, eyes so wide they look like marbles.

The two guys exchange a knowing look, both grinning. It’s not that often they get the drop on Jisung and can tease him, for a change. They obviously find that to be a nice change of pace, but you’re not sure where that leaves you.

Because, okay, you’re not completely clueless. The lyrics could be about you. Jisung’s expressed interest in you before. He’s kissed you. Remains the question of whether that interest was romantic or just sexual.

But the thought that the lyrics are not about you? That he feels that way about another person? It fills your stomach with stones and makes it sink to the bottom of the ocean. Just thinking about it make tears spring to your eyes and you glance to the side to will them to go away.

This is bad. You’re way too far gone. What a fucking dumbass you can be, for someone who’s as academically gifted as you are.

“At least it’s not about cheating, hm?” Jisung says, staring at Chan who seems to find the ground very interesting all of a sudden.

“That’s an uncharitable interpretation of the lyrics,” he mumbles, but he appears quite eager to drop the subject after that. You find that a bit suspicious and you’d kinda like to find out what the golden boy on campus might be trying to hide, but Jisung seems relieved to be able to drop the subject as well.

“Hey,” Jisung says the second the topic’s been let go of, attention snapping to another idea so fast it sometimes makes your head spin, “I’ve been meaning to ask—”

“Oh right,” Changbin says, glancing at his phone, “there’s Sana’s party tonight. You guys coming?”

Jisung pulls a face, but you’re not sure why. It’s not like he doesn’t get regularly interrupted — and it’s not malicious either, it’s just that he, uh, talks a lot. Sometimes people end up cutting him off. In Changbin’s case, you suspect he didn’t even notice.

“I already told her we would,” Chan says, and Jisung’s face gets longer. You suspect he’d completely forgotten about it.

“Are you coming too?” he asks you, a hint of pleading in his voice.

See, even this is a dilemma. Going to a party means you’ll be forced to be in the presence of people who dislike you and who you find fundamentally uninteresting, especially since Seungmin’s been a no-show to most of these now that he’s dating. Even if you go only to see Jisung, you know people will be trying to get his attention all night, and you’ll be lucky if you get to spend ten minutes alone with him before midnight — maybe you’ll get him to yourself for a whole half-hour at around four am though. On top of that, there’s a significant risk that people will talk to him while he’s standing next to you and completely ignore you, and you’ll spend the whole time praying for a hole to open under your feet.

On the other hand, you can’t refuse him anything, and it would be far more devastating to pass on the chance to spend some more time with him.

So you just say “Sure”.

After spending more time on your outfit than you feel comfortable admitting — this isn’t a date, dammit — you show up at the sorority Sana’s a part of. Though your dress feels too short, you’re relieved to feel self-assured on your high heels. Yes, it took practicing walking in them, but it’s paying off in confidence, and it’s a price you’re willing to pay.

People are already there when you arrive, gathered on the porch, filling the house, spilling out on the balconies. You get a few looks, but it’s not like you’re not used to them. At least you’re not pretending that you don’t give a fuck. Many of them don’t like you, and you don’t like them either.

Walking in, you find yourself hesitating. Would it be weird if you just tried to find Jisung right away? Should you try to socialize, spend a few minutes talking to the rare people you know and get along here?

You may not particularly care about what people think, most of the time, but you do care about what he thinks. And the thing is, you know people talk, especially about him, especially since 3racha’s popularity blew up last year. The last thing you want is for him to think that you’re some desperate, embarrassing idiot who’s been misreading—

Enough with the line of thinking. If he’s not interested, he shouldn’t have kissed you. And, okay, the first time was a week after the break-up with his girlfriend, and he was crying, and you don’t think it meant anything to him, but the second time, this summer? It had to have meant something. He wasn’t cruel like that— You didn’t think.

You’re still grateful to make eye contact with Changbin, because it makes things a little easier. You go up to him, exchange a few words, he introduces you to some of the people who’ve flocked to him, they pretend to be interested, and once you decide that you’ve made enough of an impression, you leave them with a polite, though forced, smile.

Finding Jisung isn’t all that hard, you just have to follow the laughter.

You know that he likes his peace and quiet, too, but on a night like that, he’ll be prepared to entertain. Someone else might think that it comes naturally to him, the jokes, the antics, the comedy, but you know better. You know that there’s a surprising amount of work that goes into how good he is at this, how easy he makes it look. You know that, when he’s around you, he’s actually fairly quiet, that he sometimes hangs out on your couch, on his phone, while you’re reading, but pouts if you leave the room.

When you find him, it seems him and the group he’s with are in the middle of some drinking games. You hesitate, again. You recognize some of the girls there as part of the girls’ swimming team, the one whose captain is Jisung’s ex. Who’d hated your guts since first year, independently from Jisung, and then, uh, dependently from Jisung, you’re pretty sure. She was single-handedly responsible for half of campus thinking you were a bitch, a feat that even you find somewhat impressive.

You’d almost respect it, if, you know. It hadn’t made your life hell until you managed to stop giving a fuck.

But Jisung spots you. He always does. You don’t know how he does it, half suspect that he’s on some Spiderman shit, but he finds you in the crowd, and his eyes widen, and his smile brightens, and God, it’s not fair, how he makes you feel when he’s not even yours.

Having Jisung’s undivided attention is— one of the best feelings in the world. Genuinely. He just has a way of making you feel like you matter. It’s a bunch of things he does, one of them being the way he makes people laugh. He always— caters his jokes to the person around him. That means he pays attention, means he remembers, means he cares. That’s already a lot.

“You made it,” he says, a soft edge to his tone, when you reach him. His hand reaches for your arm, pulling you into the circle, then hovers at your elbow, sometimes brushing against your skin. This is another one of the changes that have happened since the summer. He’s more— tactile, and it does all sorts of things to you.

You don’t mind. You don’t mind at all.

“You look good,” he adds, voice low enough that you’re the only one to hear it. You do your best to repress the shiver it sends down your spine.

“Thanks,” you reply, your usually sharp tongue unable to find something to reply.

“Jisung!” some voice calls, and you manage at the last second not to roll your eyes — thank God, ‘cause there’d be hell to pay if you had.

Because it’s Jihyun. Because of course it is. If there’s one thing you can’t take away from her, it’s that she always has impeccable timing. Not for you, naturally, for herself.

If it was just you, you’d be out the door in seconds, leaving the scene before risking any kind of confrontation. Being with Jisung right now means that she won’t directly be a bitch to you, she’s never done it upfront in front of him. She instead goes the passive-agressive route which, bless his precious heart, he basically never picks up on.

You also never spoke about it with him. At first because she was his fucking girlfriend and he clearly adored her, even if there was so much that set them apart, and since then because, well, you’re still afraid you’ll come off as some jealous bitch or he won’t believe you or, worse, take her side. Tell you that you were every bit the bitch she says you are, and that she was right for the shit she put you through.

You only have seconds to brace for impact. But as you compose yourself, not bothering to smile, Jisung’s hand settles on the small of your back.

Which, hmmm, you’d be happy about in pretty much any other circumstances, but right now? Right now it might not be the best thing for you.

“It’s been a while,” she tells Jisung with a stunning smile. “How have you been doing?”

Jisung smiles too, though somewhat tighter. They’re on good terms, from what you’ve heard, but that’s not really something you’ve discussed with him. You force yourself to tune them out quickly, letting your eyes wander in the room. Just being around her makes your chest tighten. You feel on edge, feel the need to watch all of your gestures and anything that leaves your mouth in fear that it will be used against you.

Fuck, you were supposed to be over that.

Whatever Jisung answers, it makes her laugh. She leans forward, puts her hand on his arm. She makes it looks so easy, so natural. Same with how she pushes her hair behind her ear, keeps her voice at the right pitch, even laughs the right way, light and airy. If you tried to flirt the way she does, you’d only embarrass yourself. You'd look delusional. There’d be nothing sexy or attractive about it.

You’re just bad at making people like you.

It’s impossible not to be reminded of the fact that this is who Jisung went for. You don't know if you can go as far as to say she’s his type, but he did choose to date her, and you know how much he cared for her.

With her around right now, it’s really fucking hard to think that he would go for someone like you and that you haven’t been letting yourself get carried away.

On a related note, are you going to have an emotional break down in the middle of the room?

“…and things are looking pretty good for the team, we think we’ll get to the nationals this year,” Jihyun concludes cheerfully.

Wow, that’s impressive! Shouldn’t she be training for that then?

Maybe she has a point. You are a bitch.

“That’s cool,” Jisung says. “Well, it was nice running into you again.”

Her smile falters, just barely, but you don't miss it. She’s good at hiding things, but you’re better at noticing them. Know your enemy and all that.

You’d almost feel bad for her. If you’d had Jisung’s undivided time and attention, and you lost it? Yeah. You don’t know how you’d cope.

But then her eyes light up again, and again, she’s really fucking good at that shit.

“What are you guys playing?” she asks. “I’d love to join.”

You’re not unaware of the way Jisung’s hand closes slightly on your back. As he turns around, he ends up pulling you a little closer to him and your stomach tightens. Less because of his proximity, though obviously that affects you too, and more because you have the sinking feeling that this is about her. Is he— using you to make her jealous?

No. There’s no way. He would never do that.

Right?

“Just some never have I ever for now,” Sana chirps in answer. She gives the three of you a warm smile, and you think she means it. You’ve never gotten shit from her, and that says a lot. Normally you’d argue that people shouldn’t be neutral or anything, but in your case, neutral seems to be too much to ask for, in most cases.

“Alright!” Jihyun grins, lifting her cup as if to signal that she’s ready to enter the game. “Never have I ever… had sex with someone at a party.”

She drinks almost immediately, a cute giggle slipping past her lips, and so do a bunch of other people.

“None of you get close to my room,” Sana warns sternly, and several people laugh.

It’s not until you feel Jisung moving to drink from his cup and catch a glance of his burning red ears that you realize what Jihyun’s point was. With someone else, it might be self-centered to assume you were the intended target. With her, you don’t doubt it a second. Just a little reminder that he used to be hers.

There are a few whistles at Jisung’s attention, but he keeps his eyes down. It doesn’t surprise you that it would make him uncomfortable. It kinda surprises you that she wouldn’t care, though. She’s evil incarnate, but she seemed to care about him, in her own way.

“Aw,” she says, staring straight at you with her sweetest smile, “don’t worry, we’ll find you someone.”

There was a time where that might have upset you, but right now you won’t give her the satisfaction. You let your gaze flicker over her, face-shoes-face, and then glance away with a scoff. It makes you look like a haughty bitch, but, well, you’re already known for being a haughty bitch, so who cares.

Jisung chuckles discreetly next to you. That makes it worth it.

The game goes on without catching much of your interest after that. Jihyun’s sentences remain pointed — either towards Jisung or you, you’re pretty sure, though you doubt anyone notices. At least Jisung doesn’t move away from you for most of it, chin sometimes coming to rest on your shoulder, fingers running gently over your arms, the occasional whispered comment in your ear.

Heat pools in your stomach the whole time, and you’re unable to focus on anything but him. His firm body’s pressed against your back, his proximity overwhelming. You feel that you should drag him away and finally talk about what’s going on between the two of you, but you’re afraid you’ll break the spell if you do.

Eventually, he’s the one who does, peeling himself away from you when Chan shouts from downstairs to get his attention.

It feels cold when he’s gone.

It feels colder when Jihyun’s eyes zero in on you.

Hm. Maybe flight would be the better option right now.

You’re not sure how it happens, but the game shifts not long after Jisung’s left. A bottle appears on the floor, and you tilt your head. Aren’t you all too old for that?

Apparently not, or at least not when so many people are that drunk and giggling at the idea. Soon, some are making out. Others excuse themselves and find a more private spot — Sana reminds everyone that her room should not be that spot, but you’re not sure how efficient that is.

You’re thinking about retreating when you hear someone call your name and again, of course, it’s Jihyun. She gives you a warm smile that doesn’t reach her eyes.

“It’s your turn!”

There’s tension in the air as you just stare. You don’t want to—

“C’mon, it will be fun!”

You shouldn’t care. You shouldn’t care about what she makes you out to be. But in that moment, you’re back to your first-year self who was still trying to fit and figure out how to make people like you.

So you lean forward and spin the bottle.

It takes you less than a second to realize that that was some dumb fucking decision making. You don’t want to kiss anyone here. The idea vaguely nauseates you, actually, but less than the uncomfortable realization that no one here wants to kiss you. You might be seconds away from facing a harsh, unpleasant rejection. That was probably her point, actually. You fold your arms over your chest, but you still feel your shoulders sink. You know you’re unwanted. You don’t need—

The bottle’s grinding to a stop when a hand shoots out to grab it.

You frown, glance up.

And it’s Jisung. He flashes you a bright smile, then winks.

“Wanna make out?”

Jihyun laughs lightly, tells you to ‘go get it’. But even you can see her heart breaking in her eyes.

None of it matters when Jisung strides over to you and takes your hand in his to pull you away. More people than you’d have expected cheer.

He pulls you into some random room, closes it behind him, and then hesitation appears in his eyes when he looks at you.

“We don’t have to— I mean, I wasn’t trying to make you— If you want to go kiss someone else—”

It sounds like he is down to kiss you, and even if you hadn’t wanted to kiss him before that, you think that little knight in a rock band t-shirt moment would have gotten you going anyway. So you shut your brain up, grab him by his t-shirt, and in the stunned silence that follows, an extremely rare occurence with Jisung, you pull him down towards you.

His lips crash against yours, warm and soft, and after the first few seconds of surprise, during which you see him blinking at you with impossibly wide eyes, he kisses you back like he’s been waiting for this moment his whole life. One of his hands comes up to cup your face while the other’s at your waist, squeezing and bringing you closer, not quite daring to make the move to your ass. Yet, anyway.

There’s urgency in the way he tilts his head to get better access to your mouth. Your hands trail from his shirt to his arm, feeling his toned biceps underneath you fingers, and you feel him grin against you.

“Find something you like?” he teases, before kissing you again.

This time his tongue brushes against yours, and a moan escapes you. You could feel self-conscious about it, but you don’t, not with him. If anything, it only seems to spur him on further, and he gets closer, his toned thigh pushing between yours. You feel hot all over, anywhere he touches you set ablaze, and oh, do you want this. One of his hands slides up your leg, hitching your dress higher.

“Have I told you I really like this dress?” he asks, because apparently he can’t shut up even in moments like that.

He doesn’t let you answer though, and again he’s kissing you, making your head spin. You can’t figure out what to focus on. The softness of his lips, the warmth of his mouth, how his hand is slowly making its way higher up your thigh, setting your skin ablaze, probably intentionally teasing you. Whatever it is, you’re melting under his hands. You want more, undeniably so.

He pulls away for just a second, catching his breath. His chest is heaving quickly, his lips swollen, and you can’t help but think that this is your doing, a thought that somehow turns you on even further. Dark, dilated pupils meet yours, and you think you see a desire that mirrors your own. He licks his lips briefly, glances at the bed in the room. Then his eyes meet yours again. He swallows.

“Do you—”

You jump away when someone tries to open the door.

“Is someone in there?”

Shit. Shit.

It’s Sana.

“No one better be in there,” she says threateningly.

You exchange a panicked look. She’s the sweetest person in the world, but you don’t want to cross her.

In a second, Jisung steps away from you and he’s at the window. He opens it, looks out, and then he throws one leg over the edge.

“What are you doing?” you hiss.

“Saving our lives,” he replies very seriously, stepping out fully on what you assume is the roof over the porch. “Come on,” he adds, “I’ll help you out.“

You roll your eyes, walk over to him and close the window, shooing him away with a gesture of the hand. Then you open the door, and though Saya eyes you suspiciously, you think she believes your story about being tired and wanting a rest and not having realized you’d locked the door.

Then you walk downstairs and let yourself fall on a couch, right next to Jisung, who seems to be all pouty that you refused to escape with him. His thigh brushes against yours, and your stomach does a somersault, but neither of you says anything about— well. About the thing you should be talking about. The moment’s passed, and self-doubt is assaulting you all over again.

Still, right now, you’re the person who gets to let your head fall on Jisung’s shoulder, and it’s your hand he intertwines his fingers with.

In that moment, you’re sure that the two of you will be alright eventually. It’s probably going to take a while, ‘cause you’re too much of a coward and Jisung’s— well, you’re not quite sure what his deal is, but there’s definitely something there.

But, eventually, you’ll be alright.

And there is no space in your brain, at that moment, to spare a single thought for Jihyun, because she’s lost him a long time ago.

Even if neither of you seem to be able to admit it, in all the ways that matter, he’s already yours.

okayyy, again, there's kinda Lore there. i don't know if i'll end up writing it, but in case you're wondering, OC was paired with Jihyun for a class during their first year. essentially, Jihyun was pretty busy due to being on the swimming team and other personal stuff. OC ended up constantly doing all the work for the both of them, and sometimes Jihyun would say she'd do stuff and not do it. eventually, after OC was forced to complete stuff in one night and abandoned for a group presentation, there was a nasty altercation with Jihyun and the teacher became aware of the situation, resulting in a bad outcome for Jihyun. lots of people felt that OC was unfair and should have been more understanding, and OC still doesn't know if that was the right thing, but felt used and upset during the situation. Jihyun also vilifies OC when talking about it, a lot, and OC ended up being kinda ostracized after that. so yeah.

if you read all this, uh, thank you, i hope you enjoyed this, it's my first time writing Han and I love him dearly and I hope this works. it would mean the world if you could reblog this, leave a comment or anything like that! as an author, this is really the only way we get to see that our work is appreciated and it's trully what keeps me writing so it's super important :) thank you for reading and i'll see you later for Hyunjin!

Gaz: Who else is hiding in the laundry room trying to listen to Price and Ghost's convo? Y/N: Me. I'm in the laundry basket. Alejandro: I'm in the washing machine. Soap: I'm in the closet. Y/N: We accept you Soap. <3 Soap: No I'm literally in the closet. Y/N: Love is love. <3

Squad reactions to being called straight: Ghost: The fuck, no I'm not. Alejandro: Excuse the hell out of you? Soap: Ding dong, you are wrong! Gaz: Who told you that? And why did they lie? Rodolfo: Rude. Y/N: punches the person

Y/N: Soap is so… Ghost: Annoying? Rodolfo: Cute? König: Funny? Gaz: Weird? Y/N: I don't know, maybe if y'all let me FINISH for ONCE IN MY LIFE, I'd tell you!

Alejandro: The floor is lava! Ghost: helps Y/N onto the counter Gaz: kicks Soap off the sofa König: lays on the floor Rodolfo: …Are you okay? König: No.

The squad's reaction to being told they're the chosen one Price: I will not let you down. Soap: Sounds fun. Gaz: K. Y/N: No, I'm fucking not. Rodolfo: Do I have to be? König: Please god, I am so tired.

Ghost: When was the last time you cried? Y/N: Uh, like 15 minutes ago, why?? Ghost: really? That recent? Y/N: Yeah voice crack is that an issue? starts crying again

I actually love that Mika Pikazo designed Engage's characters. Her art is so colourful and vibrant and fun, it's a great fit for the game itself! Alear's outfits make no sense, but we've gotta accept that's par for the course with anime. Male Alear looks so pretty that I wish they'd used her art for in-game portraits, instead of his 3D model. I love Celine's ridiculous bell skirts, and Alfred's impractical ruffled sleeves, and Nel and Rafal's cool spiked collars that look like crowns, and everything about the Ivy Trio because hey, let's have three of the most unreasonably hot characters join all at once and create an utter menace to bisexuals across the world. Everyone has their own distinctive silhouettes, and shared style elements between certain characters, like the stripes of black lace on Firenese royals.

You know what else I love? No paired endings except for Alear! Now I can enjoy watching an entire support chain between different units, without worrying I'm going to accidentally get them locked into a romantic ending that I don't like (which happened several times in Three Houses) or instigate any child unit weirdness (one of my least favourite features in Fates). All the fun of seeing their bonds develop and personalities shine, with none of the awkward drawbacks.

Plus I get to recruit every single character that I like, no choosing factions, or feeling like I'm missing out on chunks of the game if I get too attached to a particular side. I want all my eggs in a single delicious basket, please. Replay value? I'm happy to play the exact same story over 500 times if I actually like it, the same was rewatching a favourite movie until I can quote half the dialogue off by heart.

Oh, and the way genderlocking S-supports got kicked into the garbage like it deserves? The way gender just...absolutely does not matter in the slightest, at any point in this game? Perfect. It feels like I'm finally 100% welcome. I could make a whole separate post about why Engage means so much to me on this specific issue, but for a quick example, look at Alfred. One of the characters whose S-support is most obviously a romantic confession. Look me in the eyes, and tell me that if this game were made ten years ago, and the developers had to pick just a few characters as same-sex romance options, he would've been included. Not a chance. Wlw players would probably get Yunaka, mlm players would get Rafal. Do you see what I'm saying here? Yeah.

There's myriad other things I love about Engage, but I just wanted to shout some positivity for a few that I've seen mixed responses to (except removing the genderlock, I haven't seen anyone small-minded enough to criticise that yet, but I like saying how great it is regardless).

#Fire Emblem Engage #FE Engage #like. if this stuff isn't your cup of tea then that's fine. but personally I'm having a great time over here!

EXCITING DEVELOPMENTS IN THE BATIM CTHULHU GAME!! yes, yes, whatever’s going on with henry, but ALSO: Sammy panic-murdered a cultist with a chair!! It’s important to me that you know he’s been suffering from a crippling fear of things transforming ever since he first ran into these weird constructs of yellow ink that LOOK human, so the instant he saw yellow claws on this guy, he was taking a disadvantage on ALL his rolls (roll twice, and use the worst roll) and it’s a miracle he got this hit at all, much less that it did almost max damage. SAMMY WAS FULL OF ADRENALINE

The hard line between Sammy and Prophet has been blurring more and more, and a weird thing has been happening lately where, whenever Sammy Absolutely Cannot Handle what’s going on, he sort of subconsciously calls out Prophet instead, meaning that last session Prophet was kind of in-and-out every time something horrific happened -- and when Henry went weird, Prophet just decided he should be handling this instead of Sammy. It’s fine!! I’m sure all the non-JDS folks we’re travelling with right now won’t notice a thing.

(last session was A LOT OF COMBAT but i have sneaked a couple of out-of-context quotes out for u under the cut if u desire)

[Sammy is played by me, Joey is played by Boo (inkyvendingmachine), Henry is played by Maf (inkcryptid), Jack is played by Mochi (whatyouwantedmetosee) and Thren (haunted-hijinxer) is our GM!]

[GM] And Jack has charmed a security guard into being on their side-- [Jack] New boyfriend acquired! [Sammy] Jack, please, [Henry] He can’t be stopped! [Jack] We thought that his F was “Freeze” but his F is actually “Flirt”

[Sammy] I already rolled to see if he would notice, like, ALL OF THE SPOTLIGHTS MOVING, and he did not, so, [GM] Just more annoying party stuff, like parties do… [Sammy] Yeah, annoying party stuff, like getting grabbed, and gunshots!

[Joey] Grant just takes constant sanity damage from Joey’s spending. [Jack] Joey’s spending is an eldritch horror. Technically Joey is eldritch now! [GM] *thoughtfully* that’s... reasonable……..

[GM] He kicks Jack, and Jack takes two damage! [Jack] Oh boy! That’s like falling over a fence, twice!!

[Henry] I think what Henry is going to focus on right now, is getting the girls they have to safety, and THEN running back, and… hopefully the others aren’t kidnapped yet! [Sammy] A bird in the hand is worth two… in the, getting kidnapped by musicians. [Jack] That’s definitely how I remember that going.

[Henry] I rolled a one. This better be important! [Joey] (Henry notices a corndog stand!)

[Sammy] Steer clear of this very determined-looking lady, and get to the car. [Joey] Once you’re within the car, feel free to steer towards! [Sammy] …Joey, are you encouraging vehicular manslaughter? [Joey] Whaaaat, no!

[GM] He hears Bertrum Piedmont’s fairly loud voi– er, The Great Bertrum Piedmont, excuse me,

[GM] *looking through the rules* The “Improvised Weapons” section starts, “All sorts of items can be used to inflict physical harm! Even a gramophone–” what, no! [Joey] What an example to choose, [Jack] To be fair, throwing that probably would inflict physical pain on Sammy.

[GM] I think Security Guy’s just, standing stunned at this point; he also saw a guy smooshed with a chair, and is out of immediate things to do so, he’s just….. he’s just chilling. [Sammy] He needs a sec. [Henry] He’s just vibing. [Sammy] Like, this guy – presumably, if he didn’t already know that these guys were whatever they are – then he is at this point having to rewrite his entire worldview to contain whatever this is. [GM] He stabbed a puddle person, apparently… [Sammy] Yeah, yeah, he stabbed a guy who had claws, and then that guy got hit really hard, and exploded into a puddle of goo. And I just don’t have room for that, in my current view of the world, so it makes sense to me.

[Joey] Sillytime Pete! [GM] No… Sillytime Pete is just passed out Pete. [Henry] Sleepytime Pete!

[Henry] That’s -11 sanity!! [Jack] Henry’s been saving up all his sanity loss for this moment. [Sammy] If he loses one more, he’s going to get an indefinite insanity– [Henry] Oh, don’t worry about that. :)

*Henry chooses to maintain the spell* [GM] It’s just a d3 sanity and a magic point this time! It’s fine! [Sammy] Oh! Oh you just kinda leak that as you continue it, cool, cool,,,

[Henry] Where is my sanity… [Jack] Voice of every BatIM,

[Henry] Whoa, hey, calm down. It’s alright. [Joey] You don’t look alright! [Henry] No? Henry’s just going to kinda look down at his hand and go, Oh. Must be aftermath. It’s a spell I picked up from Moonlight’s journal. [Joey] THIS DOES NOT COMFORT JOEY.

[Joey] Joey’s going to grab onto him, in a very possessive hug. [GM] Bendy’s helping!

[Sammy] I don’t think you have to bribe Wally to get him to go home. [Jack] I think it might be quicker though… [Jack] If you put cake in his face, he can’t talk to you!

[GM] Nichole’s also saying she ought to go, since this is her fault, and she wants to make it right– [Joey] *interrupting* ABSOLUTELY not. [GM] Okay, roll a– [Joey] oh gosh,,, [GM] –Dexterity Check. [Sammy] DexTERITY? [Joey] DEXTERITY???? [GM] You have the option to try to convince her… before she starts talking.

[Henry] He got the spell from Moonlight’s journal – yes he knows, he shouldn’t have done that, but he wanted an offensive spell! [Joey] Aw man, did he ever get an offensive spell – right to Joey! Joey’s SO offended right now! [Sammy] The MOST offensive spell: one from Moonlight!!

[Jack] *explaining Prophet* He would probably summarise it as, “it’s a long story,” and, “.....magic stuff???”

[Sammy] Look Joey, Sammy’s being suspicious of you! It’s just like old times! [Joey] One step closer to the slow burn~

[Jack] Which of the people is the doctor, again? [GM] Leon. [Sammy] You just have to picture a lion with a stethoscope, and now you’ll remember it. [Henry] Leon is a furry: confirmed. [Jack] *sonic fandub voice* Whoa, he’s a furry, I didn’t know that!

[Jack] So this is the boyfriend car, huh? [GM] I mean, everybody on this list is a boyfriend except Henry, and that’s only because he’s already married, [Henry] A boyfriend car, and their chaperone!

#call of cthulhu: haunted hijinx #cthulhu game quotes #sammy lawrence #Jack Fain #prophet sammy #when in doubt just keep drawing #i completely forgot when i drew the 'ready to crash a party' drawing #that the entire REASON jack was just in suspenders here #was because sammy exploded a guy all over both of them and wrecked jack's vest #so he should probably have a vest in that last drawing lmao #i also forgot sammy's bandaged arm here IM A VERY CONSISTENT ARTIST WITH A GREAT MEMORY

T | 1588 | f/? human/demon | fantasy | transfem character, they/it demon pronouns

Steph imagined going to Hell in many ways. Being unceremoniously thrown through layers of the planet into a sizzling tar. Stepping up in front of a horned guy who'll take pleasure in coming up with a custom torture plan. Not suddenly opening eyes to a dark figure in a Hawaiian shirt holding a clipboard. She worked her dry mouth to push out some words.

"So this is, um-"

"Hell," the figure answered. "Does it live up to the expectations?"

She took a cautionary look around - a dark room with no corners, no windows or doors. It was almost like they were floating in space but it didn't feel like it. She stood up with alarm at the unfamiliar sensation under her palms.

"The ground is moving."

"Uh, yeah? I keep forgetting Earth is already dead," they murmured, eyes back in the paperwork.

"What?" Stephanie frowned. "Wait, are you implying Hell is alive?"

"That is exactly what I'm saying."

"Holy fuck."

"No cussing, please," the demon twisted their mouth in distaste. "Don't need the upstairs to pop in and audit us again."

Steph frowned.

“Isn’t this like, your whole thing?”

“Our whole thing,” they repeated under their breath as if offended. “The first word, darling, you can fuck down here all you want."

“Oh. Yeah, that makes sense,” she nodded slowly, considering it. “Can I say unholy fuck?”

The demon rolls their eyes like it's the hundredth time they’ve heard the question. Probably was.

“Yes, yes you can. So, Stephanie,” they looked down at the clipboard again. “Your partner is running a bit late, but should be here any minute now.”

“My partner?” Steph frowned again and the demon in front of her was visibly on the verge of frustrated tears.

“You humans think selling your soul is not a big deal, like it’s not something that’s gonna affect you. Well, newsflash, it does. Most of you don’t choose a particular demon so your soul is assigned at random. After your death you go to Hell and get handed to them,” they explained sharply, flipping through the documents. “You’re assigned to… Tom, it seems.”

She was flabbergasted, for many reasons. Tom, first of all, didn’t sound like a very demonic name. But more importantly…

“When the fuck did I sell my soul?”

The demon flipped a couple more sheets.

“Hmm. December 6th 2010,” they said and then proceeded with a quote in her pre-transition teenage voice: “I want her fucking dead. Whoever the fuck is listening, kill my fucking mother. Have my firstborn or my soul, whatever. Save me.”

Okay, she might have said something like that in her peak teenage angst years. Bit living with a transphobic mother was… not fun.

“She died a couple of years later from a stray bullet wound led by your assigned demon. Thus, fulfilling their part.”

Sophie gaped.

“What does that mean for me?”

The demon shrugged.

“Depends on the demon. You had a dog, right? It’s kinda like that.”

“I’m a pet?!”

“Well, you have a place to live, you’re fed, played with, so basically.” They shrugged after listing off on their fingers. 

She thought about protesting, about running, but what good would it do to her? She was dead and she handed off her soul. So instead, she just asked.

“Is it an eternity thing?”

“Until The End happens, so in a way, I’d say so.” Then, they turned to the right. “Well, it took you long enough.”

Steph turned that way too, wondering who they were addressing when reality opened like a door and another demon stepped in. An inky void in a human shape, wearing a simple black dress.

“Sorry, I’ve lost track of time,” they grumbled, stumbling in towards them. The demons greeted each other with a weird approximation of a fist bump, before turning back to her. 

“That’s my soul? She’s so much prettier than I remember! Hell’s doing you good already,” the dress demon grinned. She couldn’t see any teeth, but the way their form and the floppy ears perked up, made them easy to read.

They stepped closer, extending their hand.

“I’m Thomeles, but friends just call me Tom.”

She eyed them, the horns, the ears, the tail, the approximation of a face when their head shifted.

“Stephanie.” She took the hand, claws gently digging into her flesh. Other than that, their palm was soft and warm. 

“I know. I’ve been watching you for a while, Steph.”

The demon behind them coughed.

“Okay, now that you two are here, sign these and get out of my office.”

Steph looked at the document in front of her but it didn’t contain much more than the quote and both their names. There was no pen in sight and she looked a bit lost at her partner.

“Just press your finger like this,” they said, touching the line under their name with a pad of their pointer. The paper sizzled and a slightly burned fingerprint was left.

She frowned but did as instructed. It burned for a moment, like touching a plate fresh out of a microwave but the paper soon was signed. 

“And here, that you received your Soul.”

Thomeles pressed another fingerprint.

“Here, that you were partnered with your demon.”

Stephanie hesitantly did the same.

The demon accountant flipped through the documents, bringing them to its face and inhaling.

“Ahhh, freshly burned paperwork. Now get out! I have another Soul incoming!”

They were both pushed out by an unseen force, stumbling into a long dark hallway.

“Don’t mind him, Der always had a stick up his ass.”

“What’s that short for? Deremoth?” she asked to occupy herself while being led somewhere. A kennel, perhaps?

“Derek,” answered her demonic partner. She didn't know what to ask after that and silence followed. Waiting for the next development seemed to be the most reasonable course of action.

The hall they were going down seemed to have no end, only random doors here and there. 

“Tell me, Stephie, what would you like to do on your first day in Hell?”

She was surprised, expecting to be pushed around not unlike on a first day at work, not treated like on vacation.

“What is there to do?”

“It’s Hell, we can do anything!” Tom grinned again. “We can chill on the couch, we can go shopping, I can take you to dinner. I’ve finished all the TV series I've been watching, so we don't have to watch anything separately."

Stephanie blinked, taking it all in.

"Do you watch like, human TV series?”

“If you’re asking me if you can watch the next season of Drag Race here, then yes."

She felt herself smile for the very first time since dying. 

“What about an actual drag show?”

“Oh baby, there’s no better place like Hell!” Tom grabbed her excitedly, finally swinging open a seemingly random door. They stepped into a nightmarish room full of pink curtains and cushions, and the smell of incense. “I’ll fix you a drink, and we’ll find you something to wear. You don’t mind wearing something of mine, right? Can I do your make-up?”

Stephanie watched them bounce excitedly, staring at her with their soulless face.

“I guess I am a puppy, huh? Or like a doll, perhaps.” She wondered if she’d end up forgotten on a shelf like her cousin's Barbies when the new Sims came out. “Sure, you can dress me up.”

Tom deflated, their head turning in confusion.

“Well, you are pretty like a doll, but why would you be a puppy?” they asked.

Stephanie scoffed, turning to sit on the couch in the center of the room. She instantly fell deep into the soft cushion.

“Derek said demons keep humans like pets,” she explained, the acidic tone obvious in her words.

All she got for that was silence and when she looked up, Tom was fuming. They became fuzzy at the edges and the surrounding air dimmed, like under a layer of dark fog.

“I don’t care what Derek does with his Souls,” they rumbled, the room shaking with their voice. “But I will treat you like the precious thing that you are.” They softened, composing themselves. “If you want to be a pet, I’d love to put you on a leash,” the voice turned into a purr, as they kneeled in front of her. Stephanie hasn’t been this close to them yet and the demonic presence leaning into her space was overwhelming.

“I’ll do whatever you ask for because I'm yours, and you’re mine.”

The possessiveness of the word felt like a punch to the gut, and she pressed her lips hard together not to whimper. But then Tom took her hand and pressed it to where their mouth should be.

“We’re partners in any sense of the word that you want to be. Friends, first and foremost, and whatever more you let me.”

The open earnestness of the demon was breaking her walls alarmingly fast.

“Take me to dinner first,” she joked to ease the tension but Tom only collapsed against her with a whine.

“Can I? I’ve been waiting decades for you to die and be mine. Can it be our first date? Today? Please?” They looked up, suddenly small despite their size and power and something in Stephanie woke up at the sight of a demon begging at her knees.

She raised a hand to their cheek and Tom nuzzled against her palm and in an instant, she was gone.

“Of course, baby. Doll me up for our date.”

[roxannepolice]

hi! missy for the character asks? :)

Of course, but after putting threegado together it's only fair to also combine twissy for @lukifisk 😀

1: sexuality headcanon - after answering this question a couple of times, I think it is safe to say TL are what humans would call pansexual in the sense that their preferences aren't very directional (let's face it this is the most evolutionarily rational direction to take in a reproductive organs shifting species (the Master is generally Doctorsexual tho)) - what does differ across regenerations is libido level, as in how likely they are to get horny (and in the Doctor's case that usually increases when the Master's around); so in this context we have a fascinating set where Twelve is pretty much an ace while Missy is permanently horny - luckily, Twelve is not a sex averse asexual, and willing to perform for a romantic partner, so we probably have something of a pythonic scene of Missy (and let's be fair, Clara and River too) passionately riding and confessing most ardent affection for that old man while he tries to follow Neptunian equivalent of Kama Sutra (getting himself acquaintanced with it in the process)

2: otp - each other, of course; just let them have their much postponed French riviera honeymoon BBC

3: brotp - I mean. apart from the Doctor Missy interacted with an afterlife Zuckerberg, Clara, Nardole, passingly with some UNIT members and Bill, and her own past. that's not much to choose from. so I'll go with Clara, just because this is also what I go with for Twelve (also consider two characters who know the most about the Doctor; Rose and Sarah Jane having a giggle would be nothing condiered to what these two'd get up to): romantic elements I fully acknowledge aside, I think it must have been really refreshing for the Doctor to have a companion that was so much like them; and weird assumptions about straight corellation between age and skin collagen levels aside, his truthfulness with her was very powerful

4: notp - I don't really have one for Twelve, just because his asexuality is so obvious that I'd assume if he's shipped with someone there's a good reason for it? for Missy, the male presenting Masters all being horny for her specifically, yeah selfcest is a good metaphor for narcissism inherent in this character which is what I keep repeating to myself about season 10 finale, but when Masterful (which I LOVE srsly the Doctor could only dream of having such a good 50th birthday celebration) doubled down on it I just thought honey your attempts at heterosexuality are about as convincing as those sybil breasts slapped by Michelangelo on what's clearly boy models

5: first headcanon that pops into my head - I remember it well from Gigi is their song and Bill plays it on her smartphone each time they interact, BBC just muted it for copyright reasons

6: favorite line from this character - for Twelve, Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life. An unimportant life. A life without privilege. The boy who died on the river, that boy's value is your value. That's what defines an age. That's what defines a species. - wow. just wow. this is such growth from the Time Lord Victorious who'd evaluate individual life from it's Historic importance and the face that almost annihilated a civilization (for the second time!) for one person, also extratextually excellent way to measure the level of civilizational progress; for Missy Your version of good is not absolute. It's vain, arrogant and sentimental. If you're waiting for me to become all that, I'm going to be here for a long time yet. somewhat contradictory to the sentiment of the Twelve quote? yeah maybe but this marks the last time as of season 13 the Master represented a philosophy contradictory to the Doctor's (or, for that matter, anything more than a snivelling canine of a chorus to how awesome the Doctor is) that, despite the text denying it much right, has a respectable place in human ethics: deontology versus pragmatism, yes gimme the Doctor Master dialectic heading for recognition that nothing is simple anytime

7: one way in which I relate to this character - Twelve is... pretty much the Doctor I identify with the most? yeah man be this intellect before emotion bitch that shows how those two are nowhere near contradictory (trying to derive ethics from thinking and keeping contradictory or inconclusive evidence to yourself for the same reasons you don't tell people there's going to be a financial crisis: they will storm the banks and a crisis will in fact occur; they pound that into your brain in every Polish sociology class) and will raise hell if you cannot move heaven for the people you care for (just don't cut out people you haven't yet formed to your liking from the caring part); for Missy, I too aspire to express all my moods through piano and would have Peter Capaldi grab my boob within 2 minutes from meeting him not even for sex reasons just to see him flustered 🙃

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character - for Twelve, informing newly met people Clark Kent is Superman: I get that it makes sense for plot development reasons, but man you don't just say these things! also consistently insulting John Simm's pretty squishy round catface while he's getting an obvious libido rise from the other's proximity; for Missy, not caring for her hairstyle while in prison, wtf gurl, demand an avocado and banana based hair mask in addition to the LHC and pony!!

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave? - look there's a lot I like about Moffat's writing, just as there's a lot I dislike about it, but putting the Doctor slightly further down the problematic fave side than the Master (while keeping them mostly in character) deserves proper appreciation; they're both on the problematic fave side of the spectrum though

#thank you this was fun! #sorry for the littlest bit of salt couldn't help myself what with all recent occasions to harp about how excellent a symphony tensimm is #twelth doctor #missy #the doctor #the master #doctor who #twissy

🏎️💨 THE FORMULA 1 TAG GAME! 🏎️💨:

tagged by @solaireverie thank u bestie 🫶🐈

1. Who or what got you into F1?

so in 2018 my brother got an xbox and in 2022 f122 (?) was added to the game pass, he developed motorsport brainrot and would not stop blabbing to me about it 😽 then he mansplained the SG grand prix to me, i surprisingly found it interesting, and here i am

i think also i saw Seb trending on here in late 2022 and that made me more ‘aware’ of f1, in the sense that Seb was one of the few drivers i did know before, so there was some weird attachment there. there was a period of time where i stopped tuning in to the SG races (busy + covid) so that got me paying attention again

2. Who was the very first F1 driver you supported? Do you support them now? Have your opinions on them differed or stayed the same since then?

Ohhhh Charles Leclerc 🎊🎶 pretty much the same, i find the narrative around his career very compelling, i like his driving and he’s a cool guy

someone once asked me “did you just choose the first guy you saw on the TV” and honestly, if i think about it. Yeah. he was the first driver i saw when we switched on the race broadcast.

3. Who’s your current favourite F1 driver?

Charles! if Seb makes a return then it’ll be him, but i’m assuming this means current drivers only.

4. Is there a driver pairing or pairings you support? What made you attracted to that pairing in the first place?

my roman empire Sebchal…

Charles was the driver i liked and Seb was the driver i knew from my childhood so i was curious about the connection. i’m a big fan of the maturity with which they handled their off-track relationship; tbh my opinions of them as teammates purely-racing wise are mixed, but they’re also my two all-time favourites so my fondness gets amplified when they’re together

5. Do your parents, siblings or relatives have a favourite driver?

Well. my brother is a Lewis fan, my uncle is also a Lewis fan. from 2025 we’ll be an all Ferrari family 😮‍💨

my uncle has Lewis and Valterri’s driver cards and art prints of Coulthard and Barichello’s helmets in his house haha

6. Do you have any favourite races? Are there any that stand out to you the most?

Hockenheim 2019 and Hungaroring 2015!

i think Turkey 2010 also stands out in my memory thanks to arguably one of the funniest crashes in Seb’s career and the subsequent w2w between Jenson and Lewis.

7. Do you have a favourite circuit? Can be from the past or from the current calendar

Sepang, the incline is cool i hope they bring it back

8. Have you ever been to an F1 race in real life? Feel free to tell us your experience going to one if you like.

no money 😚😚 i could attend the SG GP but i heard you can’t see much, and tbh, the sg races are kind of snoozefests…

9. Have you ever met an F1 driver in real life?

nope! the idea of it scares me honestly. i may cry if I see seb in the flesh

10. Do you have a favourite F1 car? If so, what is it?

rb6 my speedy but unreliable queen

11. Do you have a favourite one win wonder?

i probably haven’t been watching long enough to have one

12. Do you have any favourite quotes from the F1 world? This can either be inspirational or hilarious.

i’m kind of obsessed with everything seb has ever said, particularly these:

“you, asking what happened at the start? // you came in like a torpedo” (rip kyvat)

“we have to remember these days. because there is no guarantee that they will last forever.” ♥️

also quite fond of Charles’ “it’s like this”, but hope we hear it less in 2024 🤞

tagging @verstappenclerc @baiuzennsenn @leqclerc @norrisgp @monacodarling if yall haven’t done it already!! (if u have, sorry 🫡) ++ anyone who wants to

“I’m fine, thanks. Um, how, how are you?”

I’m okay I guess, thank you.

“Why just okay?”

I-um-I miss you.

“Wait, really?”

Of course, silly, I like being around you.

“Wow… thank you. Same here. And I miss you too.”

So, how was Hellfire tonight? Any big moments?

“Oh, just the usual. We’re still continuing the storyline surrounding Vecna, I think I told you about him, and Kas. We’re in the middle of it right now, and we’re at the point where the kids still think Kas is dead and or evil. I’m concentrating on that part because, as weird as it sounds, I really want to pay attention to their reactions. I try to make the campaigns so that when almost all hope is lost, the players have a moment where they have to decide if it’s worth the risk to keep the hope and fight, or just give up. I feel like that shows a person’s true character, you know what I mean?”

Definitely! So, what did the party choose?

“They chose to fight. Can’t say I’m surprised, they’re pretty tough guys.”

I’m sure. Wheeler doesn’t joke around, and he’s probably the easiest going of that freshman bunch.

“Ha, no kidding! Henderson’s a beast sometimes.”

He’s very passionate, that’s for sure. The boys tell me you’re the same, that you really like to get into the game.

“Oh, man, why would they say that?”

I think it’s admirable, and… cute. It’s always good to have something you care about so deeply.

“I guess you’re right. What’s that for you?”

For me, I think it’s writing. I love writing because it lets me escape the world around me, create my own stories, sort of take charge of life. I guess that’s why I like hearing about D&D because it’s like writing in the sense that you can create your own reality; you can be whoever you want to be. And sometimes, you can take that into your real life. You adopt those characteristics and embrace them, and I feel like it makes this world even better. Does that make any sense?

“…Yeah, that’s exactly how I feel about D&D. That’s why I enjoy it so much. I know I don’t make it seem that way, but being pushed into lockers, being called a freak, being forced to be an outsider in my own town… it chips away at my image and opinion of myself. I let their comments and their actions get to me, and when it becomes too much, I go back to D&D because there, I can be a hero. There, I’m wanted, followed… loved.”

I wish people would treat you differently, Eddie, really. I’ve always thought you were a really cool guy, and you’re so nice too. I don’t know why people can’t see it. I’ve tried to explain it to other people, but they just don’t seem to get it.

“Other people don’t really know how to use their imaginations, that’s why.”

I guess so. It’s a shame. When you don’t use it, you miss out on meeting some great people. Like you.

“You’re just being nice.”

I’m really not. I… I like you, Eddie. A lot. I mean it.

“I-um, ha-I really like you too, Y/N. And I really like talking to you. Part of me felt like you had given me a fake number or something.”

I would never! Eddie Munson, is that what you think of me?

“Ha, I can tell you’re joking, but honestly, I think I was a little scared that you were. People often aren’t what you’d expect, especially when they’re as nice as you are.”

Well, I’m only nice to the people that deserve it, so count yourself lucky!

“Ha, I will, definitely… Y/N?”

Yeah?

“When you asked me to bake cookies with you tomorrow… Did you ask me because you like me a lot?”

As in, do I want tomorrow to be a date?

“Yeah.”

Do you want it to be?

“… I mean, absolutely?”

Good, me too.

“So, um, what did you do tonight?”

Well, I was at Nancy’s house for a while. We were just doing homework, and we were going to paint our nails when Johnathan came over and surprised her. That was around when Hellfire ended, so I thought that’d be a good time for me to go and to bring the boys home.

“That sounds like a nice night. I hope Hellfire didn’t interrupt your plans.”

No, not at all! Nancy and Johnathan definitely needed the alone time, you know?

“That makes sense… I’m excited for tomorrow.”

Me too, I can hardly wait! I thought we could make lemon cookies and some snickerdoodles. Do you like snickerdoodles?

“I do, I used to make them with my uncle Wayne.”

Well, if you have a good recipe, please bring it over! I don’t have one that’s worked well for me, but I was hoping that maybe you’d bring me luck.

“I’ve got it around here somewhere. I’ll make sure to bring it!”

Thanks, Eddie.

“You’re welcome. Hey, would you maybe like to get lunch before we bake the cookies? I could pick you up and we could get pizza or something, you know, if you’d like to. No pressure.”

That sounds perfect, Eddie, I’d love to! What’s your favorite pizza topping?

“Oh, psh, that’s a hard one. Sausage maybe? What about you?”

Probably peppers, and always with extra cheese!

“Ha, a sausage and pepper pizza with extra cheese. Goes together well, don’t you think?”

We-I mean, they, certainly do. 

“I agree on both… So, should I pick you up around noon?”

I’ll be here. 

“Great. Well, I’ll let you get some sleep. Sweet dreams, Y/N.”

You too, Eddie.

[juney-blues]

just finished reading fist of the north star, and now i know why most adaptions pretend the series ends after raoh's defeated

because it probably should have!

i enjoyed the celestial emperor and land of asura stuff a bit but, the series was really starting to retread old ground

kaioh just feels like "what if raoh was even eviler and stronger!!!!" he's literally raoh's secret older brother who was never mentioned ever for some reason

retconning secret family members seems to be how a lot of the series handles plot twists now that i think about it lmao

Lin was actually the secret twin of the celestial empress!!!! this never comes up again and effects nothing.

Kenshiro had a secret older brother who vowed to one day teach him that the secret to hokuto shinken is Respecting Women!!!!

hell even ein (who's whole deal is honestly a retread of rei now that i think about it) had a whole thing where he's introduced talking about how he does all this bounty hunting for a special lady in his life ;) ;) an then PLOT TWIST!!! HE DOESN'T MEAN HIS GIRLFRIEND HE MEANS HIS DAUGHTER!!! (which is a funny bit lmao)

god the series really falls apart with the final story arc though, i think the real reason most fist of the north star stuff never cover anything after the timeskip is because Kenshiro defeating Raoh and finally putting an end to the hokuto shinken succession crisis that was the undercurrent to basically everything after the first arc, and then riding off into the sunset with Yuria, was a WAY more satisfying ending than whatever the fuck was going on with the actual ending

Bat uses heretofore unmentioned Hokuto Shinken powers to erase Lin's memories because everyone in the god damn series thinks that now that kenshiro's wife is dead he needs to shack up with this one girl he met when she was like 9 for some reason, and then Kenshiro gets,, Struck by lightning????? and also loses his memory??????

so we've got a double amnesia plot going on and it's, just,

so fucking stupid

and then it tries to give Bat this whole subtext to his whole character about how he always looked up to kenshiro like he was an older brother, and it retcons in scenes that never happened to try and deepen that

and like i love Bat, he was a fun goofy comic relief character in the anime

but in the manga he's just kinda there,,,?

he lends SOME comic relief but aside from the one arc with jackal he's just kinda there in the background, failing to make much of an impression and just kinda fading into obscurity (same kinda deal with Lin) getting ditched by the story for more serious characters, only showing up for the fight against raoh because kenshiro wants someone to bear witness.

and then after the timeskip he does the whole hokuto army thing with Lin, he cries over Ein (which was a fun moment i'll admit)

and then the story ditches him as soon as the asura arc comes around, and then he just kinda shows up at the end of that to take lin away so ken doesn't have to deal with that weird contrived "pressure point that makes you fall in love with the first person you see" bullshit.

So we've got this comic relief character who for the latter half of the series has repeatedly threatened to become relevant and then backed off, which the series is trying to get me invested in during the 11th hour,

and this is all for, Lin's (clearly unrequited, like good lord) crush on Kenshiro,

a weird one sided nothing relationship that the series keeps trying to push as a thing that should happen, because the series is bad at using its female characters

and this is what it chooses to spend its final moments on???

and then the story just repeats the end of the asura arc and goes "no bat and lin should be together for some reason, gotta pair those spares"

throws in a whole flashback full of stuff that just straight up wasn't in the manga

i think the top left moment is actually something from the anime lmao (don't quote me on that i have memory issues)

so yeah the final arc is just, retconning a whole bunch of shit, trying to shovel in as much development as possible for these characters in the last fleeting moment of the series as possible, because they were the first 2 major characters we were introduced to i guess

then we get this whole fakeout death to close it out

but woooh kenshiro fixed his dying body by, using pressure points, i guess, so that whole death scene was just kinda for nothing, just jerking your chain a bit

just god it's so fucking stupid

it's sooo stupid

i'm with everyone else i wish things ended here

[moni-logues]

~tag game~

list eight shows for your followers to get to know you

I was tagged by @quarter-life-crisis2 and I am tagging @minttangerines @simp47koreancrackheads @daechwitatamic @jeonqkooks @xjoonchildx @sailoryooons

this got really fucking long so I'm going to put it under a cut but if you want to read me rambling about TV shows then, here you go!

(Spoilers ahead for Roswell, if you care about spoilers for a show that is like, twenty years old lol)

Angel the Series. You might say I should have chosen Buffy because that is where I first saw and fell in love with him, but Angel is the choice because 1) it's his own whole show 2) the theme music is incredible, even after all this time 3) I Will Remember You is one of my favourite episodes of TV of all time 4) the evolution of Wesley Wyndham-Pryce. Is the fourth series some of the worst TV that's ever been written? Yeah, probably. Is it still one of my favourite shows of all time? Yeah, definitely.

Grey's Anatomy. Yes, I am a basic bitch. I am not caught up (I think I got to somewhere around series 15 when I stopped subscribing to any services that streamed it and I did not care enough to do so illegally), but the first eight series of that show are fucking phenomenal (I know some people think it jumped the shark at series five, but idk how you can miss out the Lexie and Mark of it all, so I say series 8). PICK ME, CHOOSE ME, LOVE ME? ICONIC!!!!! SO much so that honestly, writing this now makes me think I'm gonna start re-watching it.

Roswell. (not the reboot they did at some point??? the OG Shiri Appleby, Jason Behr, fucking Katherine Heigl version). I watched this when it first came on TV. I have re-watched it a lot. My sister and I both own the box set. Am I into alien things? No, generally. But am I into forbidden love and secrets and couples against the world? HELL Yes. It gets weird in the third series (WHY does Isobel get MARRIED?!) but WHAT. A. SHOW. The christmas episode where Max heals all the sick kids??? crying. When he shows up from the future and Liz has to break up with him in the present? crying. When he proposes with a lump of coal that he turns into a diamond? crying. When Maria breaks up with MICHAEL, world's most useless but trying puppy??? CRYING.

Parks and Rec/The Office. I'm putting these two together because they are very similar, in vibe, in purpose, in genre etc. I kind of don't even feel like I need to explain because everyone knows, y'know? We all watch and love these shows (generally speaking; you don't need to tell me if you are the exception!). They are fun and comfort.

The Class. Did it run for one series and then disppear completely? Yep. Do I still think about it? Yep. It would probably have ended being lumped in with the two above, as it was a comedy about a guy who proposes to his girlfriend (whom he met in second grade) by organising a second grade reunion, and then she says no lol. But it brings people back together etc. and things ensue. Would honestly pay my own money to have that show back again.

Scrubs. A lot of the jokes have aged badly, ngl, but I love this show. My sister and I still quote it to each other. And yes, I own the box set.

The Great [Insert Craft Here] Show. That includes Bake Off, Sewing Bee, Pottery Showdown and Blown Away. Bake Off has got less good over the years, but generally like, nice competition shows where people do their craft and make amazing things and it's all pretty feel-good and inspiring.

Supernatural. It would be dishonest of me not to include this. I am, as with Grey's, not caught up (I'm somewhere around series 10 or 11? I don't remember because I very much lost interest but I would like to finish it one day). This is probably the first thing my little sister and I truly bonded over? We both went mad insane in 2010-11 when we first discovered this show and the earlier series are still good. Shout out to my friend who made me watch the first episode at her house and got me into it!! Or I'd have still insisted it looked too scary (LMAO). Oh also, What Is and What Shall Never Be is also one of my favourite episodes of TV.

I feel like this list gives you a very clear insight into the shit I like to watch on TV and no, none of it is hard-hitting documentaries or complicated dramas. TV time is brainless time, thank you very much.

Replying to a STAY on YouTube

(I've had to publish the YTube comment here as YTube wouldn't let me post it there because of how extensive it was xdd anyways):

Hi, firstly, I'm sorry for replying so late! I was moving into another house lmao 💀 and secondly, sorry again, because I already know my reply will be long as h3ll (because I'll give you the links but I'll also answer your reply and comment some things so that you and others can know more about MinBin and its rather different/weird fanbase, as there are many interesting things I've found out that are worth-shared!). That being said, let's begin! (Links are embeded in point number 2):

1) About them combining so well: it's not just a perception of yours, it seems to most probably be the truth (disclaimer before starting: tho that doesn't mean anything else, of course xd, and I'm not invalidating MinSung just because of MinBin getting along so well; I don't care about ships in that sense, I just adore them as, I think, both of them are probably the most wonderful bonds w/ Minho because of how well Han and Bin blend with Minho), as shown by the "♡ Kids Room" series: in Minho's episode, Changbin beat everyone, and he did so effortlessly. Every single one out of about 7 rounds. I strongly recommend everyone to watch this episode as there's a lot it can be learned from, about Minho and Changbin as a duo but, most importantly, as them as individuals. Chan only became the chosen one at the end because Minho thought it'd be funny to get rid of the one who was doing it all perfectly, just for the sake of a plot-twist. So yeah, just Minho doing Minho-ing xd Quoting: "Number 1 (Changbin), you've been alive for too long, haha bye, it's been funny!" -- Of course Minho would do something like this. However, that doesn't take away the fact that still Changbin always responded in the precise way Minho liked, plus they even thought the exact same in some cases: "Samba!! I thought of it too!" or when Minho comments "That's exactly what I thought." And just an annotation: although it could be that Minho is choosing the same person over and over again just because it'd be funny to toss that person away at the end (which would arguably be a very Minho thing to do xd), it seems rather unlikely, as he actually seems to be taking it quite seriously, as it can be seen in the way he took seriously Jeongin's response, alongside other ones: whenever he found a response he didn't like or found "illogical" to him, he didn't even hesitate to reply in a direct, sometimes slightly harsh way. So yeah, he was actually taking it quite seriously, he wasn't picking the same person over and over just to get a funny sketch out of it at the end.

This is just one of the multiple times when Changbin and Minho's personalities have shown to be patently compatible (again, that doesn't mean others aren't compatible, or that MinSung aren't compatible; quite the contrary: they are, a lot), and I could enumerate all of the things that make them so compatible, from a psychological point of view (I'll graduate from Psychology at University, so yeah, I'm studying Psychology xd I love the human mind), but this message is already way too long. I'll just comment one thing: they both LOVE having experiences, experiencing new things (which can be explained because Minho is a 6w7 and Binnie is a 7w8 if I don't remember wrong, at least according to people in PersonalityDataBase; they share the 7 urge to "experience" and "obtain"), having fun is something crucial and quintessential to them, which can be seen in the way they're always goofing around (I don't say it, the members said so in a radio show: "you two are the worst at dance practice: you're always goofing around!"). In contrast to this, for example, we have Han, who on the contrary prefers to "gather" in a much more controlled and known environment: he is always gathering information while staying at home, watching YouTube, as he's explained in many occasions.

(Again, I'm utterly sorry for posting such an immense comment, and for my English too: it's my 3rd language and I'm only 20, so I'm sorry if there are any linguistic flaws x'd. I know I shouldn't post such a long comment here on YTube, that maybe I should return to Tumblr to publish all of my essays regarding K-Pop groups and other themes, but I'm scared to de4th because people is unscrupulously diabolical, without a modicum of logic or rationality in their bodies. Freedom of speech is de4d, something intrinsic to the Cancel Culture era (I already got a bit canceled on Twt) for being too logical. I know it's nothing new, but I can't stop being disappointed. )

LINKS

2) The links! (Gosh, finally) · Here there go the links + what I've noticed about Bin's community.

If I had to start over, I'd watch them in this order, more or less:

1-2) Shunbun vid 1: https://youtu.be/W1dhR4H8-g4?si=6R0eRqYpuXcLEH8f

1-2) ELIAKAI vid 1: https://youtu.be/wgYXzVVqPh8?si=s9PI7jmg3UzVThNV

(the vid that made me discover MinBin; amazing. The most watched MinBin video in her channel for a reason). Talking about the MinBin fanbase, first of all, and let's take ELIAKAI as an example, as she's therefore the MinBin creator who made me discover it existed such thing named "MinBin" (before stumbling with one of her/his/their videos, I had never even thought Minho and Changbin could be an actual ship): it stands out how beyond artistic and "deep" most MinBin supporters are (it's nice to see how everyone is different; exmaple: imo, ChangJin fans are definitely the funniest, and sweetest, as far as I know). I think I've never seen "ship" videos with so much artistry, artistic sensitivity and deep thought, at least within the 4th Gen group fandoms. We could resume it with the word "angst" xd. It's something I can't explain here as it's already too long, but you'll probably understand it if you watch some MinBin videos. Her videos are made in a way that makes the spectator feel a kind of love that's unspoken, that not even them can individually say to themselves or to the other.

Eliakai's videos are always outstanding (not only MinBin videos), I can't begin to explain how amazing she is (and how beyond talented!). She doesn't over-analyse, she just shows what they've done and said, and lets you reach your own conclusions, while adding some story-like ambiance (which will lead immature people to take as "they're in love 100%" as they don't understand it's slowed down just for the sake of artistry). She just exposes the FACTS, without blatantly manipulating, but people can misunderstand it and take it as a proof for something else. Of course sometimes it can get too cheesy and fanciful with the slow-mo clips and all, but it's still way better than 99% of the fan-made "ship videos" out there. Her vids are a nice merge of thought, creativity, objective observation and artistry. Of course the "slow-mo" clips don't demonstrate sh!t, it's just part of the artistic ambiance. Not everything is made or added for the sake of an analysis, but toxic fans don't seem to understand it.

3) ELIAKAI vid 2: https://youtu.be/GC5nFRf5Lk?si=UUrlc6kv7JphXN-m

The 3rd vid I'd see if I had to start over. It actually causes me some pain and I have so many things to say about this video, as it's actually portraying something extremely relevant, but it'd be so long. I'll publish it on Tumblr I guess. Anyways, I just say this: let's dive into an hypothesis. What if they liked e/o? Not MinBin but any two people, in any group or any place where this kind of relationship is punished. Do fans realize that accepting your own feelings, and then also confessing and THEN starting a relationship can be extremely difficult in this world (even much more in their society)? I had, and I'm still having, such a h3ll of a time accepting I like women way more than I like men and that I'll probably marry a woman, even if my family kindly supports it and I'm in one of the most progressive countries when it comes to LGBTQ+ acceptance. Therefore, I can't even imagine how DIFFICULT it could be for any of the LGBTQ+ idols to accept themselves (I'm not saying MinBin are). It's not only that society tells you "you're sick/wrong", but YOU also think so, it's you yourself who has it the most internalized, even more than society (therefore it's definitely not surprising that most homophobes turn out to be LGBTQ+ years later). So, the fact alone of realizing you like someone you're not supposed to like can already be beyond difficult to THEM, not just to society. If that's not enough, we have a huge plus here: Minho and Changbin are the type of people who'd have EVEN MORE of a hard time accepting their feelings, as they tend to keep everything chilling, fun and lightly, on the surface, not diving deep into things that may hurt them (they've shown it in uncountable occasions). That's what I madly love about this video. The lyrics exactly depict this: "I might never be the one you take home to mother. but I can be the one tonight." -- Acknowledging you have no possible future with that other person, in this world, and therefore spending all the time you can have with that person, pretending it's not serious and you're just friends: "we're just being silly, it's not something serious, it's not that we're in love, we just want to experiment and play". You don't even confess to that person, irregardless of how sure you are that you both like e/o. You simply can't, it's bigger than you. It has happened to me with almost every female best friend I've had. I can tell you all: confessing to them is the last thing I'd do. So I somewhat imagine (just imagination, people, I'm not stating this as a fact) MinBin this way too: I imagine two friends who flirt, play with the other (as it's the only way they can interact without thinking of something serious), act like Tom&Jerry… They stay low-key, they don't wanna break their friendship by confessing to the other. They try to think of something/someone else, and they achieve it. But feelings sometimes never vanish, and there's still a remaining. And someday they'll get married, probably with a girl. They'll have kids and live a "socially-accepted" life as they, who have very much probably felt weird inside, have always unconsciously dreamt of. But whenever the group meets again, or they both meet again, there'll be some unresolved issues hovering in the air, the reminding of some unspoken tension years ago. 4-5) ELIAKAI vid 3: LeeKnow is like sea wind https://youtu.be/u2U3ElodDdo?si=BfvObWdLJ90F4hw

Okay, too much "angst" and story-like vids, I guess. Here I leave some more chill and short vids I found out:

4-5) Shunbun vid 2: https://youtu.be/Jm63wsoqS2U?si=fBM1cB6R8ZcfOXve

6) ELIAKAI vid 4: https://youtu.be/BCQi1H3ZfPM?si=eOpmTwLwwi43kLTX

7) Lavern (one of my fave SKZ content creator) also has a series of vids regarding MinBin which I think is VERY worth watching! (like all the other series of the channel)

And finally, here I leave the link to Minho's episode: Minho's "♡ Kids Room" episode: https://youtu.be/rbLMIUU0jzI?si=ZO3M95mA4VAaP0Wj

There are many more videos and, also, I recommend to watch all of Eliakai and Shunbun's videos, not only MinBin ones, as they're too talented and it's a shame there's not a lot of STAYs who support these channels. For instance, as I'm Jisung biased (maybe it was something unexpected? People must think I'm MinBin biased or Changbin biased, lol, which is understandable) I adore the video she created for Han, as it depicts why I connect so much with him (https://youtu.be/Rxm8LfXPHpg?si=z52cNdQY-SuIU63Q), or this BinSung vid: https://youtu.be/a4ZehDaeA_A?si=jsm8T-Y3dRl8gCr6. Also, I think it's quite interesting how many MinBin fans are hardcore HyunSung enjoyers too; my top 2 ships of SKZ may now be MinSung and MinBin, and then ChangJin, ChangLix, ChanLix and HyunIn, and also 2Min and BinSung, but I also find HyunSung a very interesting, wonderful and unique dynamic, considering all they went through together).

I also leave the link to the most known channel about MinBin: https://www.youtube.com/@stayminbin

Again, I'm SO SORRY for writing such an extensive comment (exactly 2320 words… gosh), but I hope it was worth it :( I will publish my MinBin essays on my Tumblr (https://www.tumblr.com/minsungderstandings) and on Wattpad. Things such as how Minho adapts to everyone and acts slightly different when it comes to every member (and how, surprisingly, he doesn't seem so "intimidating" and "dominant, agressive" when he's interacting with Changbin and instead he really acts soft and sweet, genuinely, organically, not pretending or trying to be this way in order to protect and show care for the other person, as I suspect he does with some members, but because he WANTS to, which surprised me A LOT).

Pease remember to not take everything I say too seriously, I don't have the absolute truth (I wish I had xd), I may be wrong about lots of things, so I don't even take it seriously myself, I'm humble in that sense xd.

Have a splendid day!! <3

palisade 24 spoilers /

revisiting signet's ending in light of. everything. in the most recent palisade episode and spinning it around in my head. the whole thing quoted below but specifically janine saying that she can never imagine signet fully trusting the waking cadent, thateverything is okay if belgard is still with signet, and saying that signet and the waking cadent are in a standoff about who dies first. it's so. it's very. yeah,

from twilight mirage 67 (copied from the transcript, linked at the bottom):

AUSTIN: Signet. Are you still good-hearted, resolute, strong, and cold? JANINE: Um… I think Signet is- I’ll take the easy ones first, Signet is definitely still resolute and strong? Because she has to be. I think even though she sorta won the Waking Cadent’s ear, and has kind of, especially in Polyphony’s absence, probably inserted herself into that position to a degree, I don't think- it's hard to imagine her ever completely trusting the Waking Cadent. AUSTIN: Sure. JANINE: And I think she is- basically always has to have her guard up, and always has to be looking for opportunities where the Waking Cadent might be moving in a direction that is dangerous? Towards- y'know, Signet being there is such a conditional thing, she's not there because she likes or agrees with the Waking Cadent entirely. It is very much a ‘if this thing is going to exist, I want to change it from the inside, because I don't want these Divines who are here to end up- y'know. AUSTIN: Enslaved, yeah. JANINE: Enslaved. So she- she's still those things because she doesn't see a way to not be- but I think the tradeoff there is- I don't want to say that she's not good-hearted, I think she still cares? Um… I think she still- y'know, is as invested in the well being of… beings, as she ever was? But I think the tiredness kinda end- y'know, the coldness is the tiredness really, it kind of… puts an edge on that in a way where I think… it's weird to say offload, but I think her good-heartedness is kind of offloaded into Belgard. Like, Belgard is- AUSTIN: Hmmm. Has to make that stuff- JANINE: - Belgard is the one who kinda recenters her in like- in terms of… humanity? In terms of empathy and softness? Belgard is her softness. Without Belgard, Signet probably goes down a really bad path. AUSTIN: Sure JANINE: So yeah, as long as these two are together, then it's- that's perfect! AUSTIN: That's great! And they do, they stay that way until Signet one day dies? I'm guessing? Like, you don't see a vision of Signet leaving as long as the Waking Cadent doesn't do some terrible shit.  JANINE: The weird- it's- [laughs] I feel like I originally went into this finale thinking “Signet is probably gonna die at the end of this” like, she's- I've been- y'know, intentionally or otherwise, gearing into her dying. Or like, choosing to die or whatever. I don't think she would let herself die before the Waking Cadent, [AUSTIN laughs] which is a weird thing. AUSTIN: Ohh, that's good… JANINE: I think they’re in like a weird fucking, taunt stand off of like, trying to hold the reins while- [AUSTIN overlaps] y'know, be the last one to hold the reins?
