Knifetrick Ch. 8 Live Reaction
WARNING: Major Spoilers (obviously) and incoherent rambling.
Also this post is very very long.
‘Watson shrugs. “Removed it during the medical process. Maybe I’ll give it back in the mines.”’ SDJFADKFJHR HELLO??!?!? You’re gonna stick him in the fucking MINES??? Without his arm???? And ohhhhhhhh he doesn’t remember that’s bad that’s bad that’s very very bad
. . . oh wait enderman with memory problems LOL
Mfer still thinks mans was giving him assassination advice? No wonder it took him until the bench to realize, I forgot just how completely dense af this guy is smh
‘Watson had at least given him a clean sleeveless sweater, which was thoughtful of him.’ That’s not a sweater that’s his fucking Tasmin-tailored vest from the party isn’t it.
Oh yeah I forgot he’d have claustrophobia trauma from when he lost his arm, huh?
CLEM!!!!! SHE’S ALIVE!!!!!!
This probably has nothing to do with the actual plot but I love the massive species diversity in this fic. Is the girl with red rocks supposed to be like Skeppy? That’s so cool
‘The second girl, a brunette with pointy ears on the top of her head’ WAIT IS THAT A MAXIMUS SHE BETTER NOT BE A MAXIMUS OR I’M GOING TO GET A FUCKING GUN AND SHOOT WATSON IN THE HEAD MYSELF. Jackie had “Maximus” on his board even though he knew what happened to Laggius, and he obviously made his board before they met Maia and Snail, which… FUCK. Which probably means that yeah, Lag and Snail had another sibling and they were kidnapped. I’m so stupid, how did I not realize this sooner
‘“Hey!” Clem shouts, and she kicks Ran in the knee. He winces, and wobbles, but manages to stay upright. “Are you a really tall child?!”’ Oh yeah, definitely an Innit.
PFFFFFFTTTTTTTHAHAHAHAAAA X’D
The Girls: Let’s put him to work!
Ran: Aight let’s go! *faceplants*
‘“Natalie, I think he fucking died.”’ I’ve only known Clem for about two minutes and already I would die for her.
‘“You’re Clementine Loo”’ AYYYYY MEMORIES ARE BACK!!!! Great now he’s gonna panic isn’t he
Nevermind he’s still fucking useless
‘Imagine how vulnerable he would be if he couldn’t even remember things that happened to him!’ Man c!Ranboo just can’t catch a fucking break can he /lh
‘Perhaps Watson was helping him find the missing children. That would explain why some of them are here now, and look relatively safe.’ *very, very long, slow, deep inhale* b i t c h .
Oh wait Nat’s a cat not a wolf okay good not a Maximus
Wait fuck there might still BE a Maximus tho
WAIT IS THAT FUCKING NETHERITE
Oh thank goodness they’re all alive okay good oh my poor heart
Wait is he not after phobium after all?
‘”Wait a moment,” Ran asks, slowly and clearly. “Are you saying Watson was the one who kidnapped you?”’ Ran, Ran, Ran. Ran fucking Aetherman. You dumbass assassin. How in the three realms have you survived this long
‘Twelve kids force themselves into the circular room. It’s not exactly a squeeze or anything, but the amount of small bodies in an enclosed space makes Ran unreasonably perturbed’ I’m sorry but this made me think “they’re setting off his Endermite instinct” and now I can’t stop laughing because I keep picturing him trying to hold back from weakly swatting them like bugs
‘Acting like a screwdriver is the least he can do.’ I understand the Very Important sentiment behind that statement but mans is still very loopy and it shows XD
“LOOKED AT??!” LOOKED AT??!?!? IS THIS TRAFFICKING??? IS HE SIZING THEM UP TO FEED TO DREAMONS OR SOMETHING??? WHAT THE FUCK???
Scanner… is he trying to get them possessed for some reason?
LOL Clem on the support beam like that Hang In There kitty poster meanwhile Ran going “I do not See. bitch”
Ohhhh is Root aquatic like Gyre? Poor kid :(
Wait hold on I’m trying to keep track of everyone okay so Clem the innit Ruby gemgirl Natalie catgirl Root squidkid 2.0 Abbey also avian? Pyro blind w/ horns Marke pigboy Zenith avian maybe idfk Zecori curly hair Boreal avian maybe that’s only 10 hmmmm this is hard
‘He’s poisoning the food, Ran guesses immediately’ of course you’d fucking think that wouldn’t you XD
Okay but seriously WHAT is Watson doing? Is he putting the phobium in their food? And then scanning them to see the effects? Is he, like, trying to give them dreamon powers, or RECREATE dreamons, or something?
‘“I, believe it or not, am both weird and sciencey,” Ran explains, a grin growing on his face. “The distraction can be me.”’ *nervously eyes Tak’s vivisection jokes from about a month or two ago* Ran what the fuck are you doing
Ran: Why are you somehow actually growing on me stop doing that
Clem: A large percentage of people find me annoying at first-
Wait she’s a living clock? Oh that’s cool
Okay so symptoms are headaches and “growth pains,” which I’m guessing may or may not be actual growth pains :/ what are you up to, old man?
Wait horns growing in recently??? And I thought it was weird that all of them seem to have tails, even the ones whose species you wouldn’t think have them (like Ruby or the avians). He’s trying to turn them into fucking dreamons, isn’t he?
‘Ran remembers why he is not fond of this girl’ OH MY GOD I LOVE HER XD
AYOOOOOO DID I GET IT RIGHT????????
enderman samples? 0_0
‘“How do you feel, by the way? After your head injury.”’ Fuck you.
‘“Damn,” Watson clicks his tongue. “And where I thought you were smart.”’ Wait I’m confused so does Watson WANT him to figure it out?
‘“On Endermen? Eh Hauntings make interesting guardians for sure.”’ WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT BACK THE FUCK UP WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN
Wait Ran barely knows what an MRi is do endermen… not have brains?
‘After all, the council wouldn’t have kept him around if he didn’t have a lot of useful skills, such as being able to shoot an olive through the window of a moving car’ okay but why the fuck would you need to do that X’’’D it’s not like ‘shoot a chink in someone’s armor in a moving car,’ no, it’s shoot a fucking olive
Wait Watson knows too much he’s working WITH Terminus?
Okay wait Ran isn’t just a Faulty Enderman but is, like, an actual hybrid? Maybe? That sounds like too many physical differences to just be faulty genome mutation
But what do I know about genetics or biology
Oh wait he just Copied Humans too much XD
‘“Most endermen I’ve ever studied,” Watson explains gleefully, “Are chock full of ampulexins. Sometimes you can find that in bee venom, but I’ve mostly only seen it in enderman brains. You have essentially none!”’ WAIT okay so I’m aware this is a H U G E leap in logic on my part but does this mayhaps have anything to do with hiveminds or Taking Orders???? Because that seems to be the only thing I can think of that bees and endermen would have in common
‘Out of seemingly nowhere, the walls around Ran become stone brick’ *excited chanting* STRONGHOLD! STRONGHOLD! STRONGHOLD!
Mans has Alexandria’s Genesis in not only his eyes but also his BLOOD, can’t teleport like the rest of his species, his bones are just Built Different, is a living smoke machine, and an amputee, but his biggest concern right now is that some evil scientist who kidnaps children just diagnosed him with Neurotypical. Priorities.
[Edit: WAIT FUCK I MEANT NEURODIVERGENT MY BRAIN SWITCHED THE WORDS FOR SOME REASON I'M SO STUPID I CAN'T BELIEVE I ONLY CAUGHT THIS LIKE 3 WHOLE DAYS AFTER POSTING *cough* anyways]
Oh my fucking god wait is he gonna murder Ran for his eyes O_O
‘His right ear burns’ isn’t that where he’s wearing the triangle earring the Council gave him??? WHAT THE FUCK DOES IT ALL MEEEEEEEAAAAAAAN???
Oh okay now that literal God’s in the picture can we just have Watson get smited on the spot pretty please
WAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIT FUCK HE CAPTURED TWELVE CILDREN. END PORTALS HAVE TWELVE FRAMES. IS HE GOONA FUCKING SACRIFICE THEM TO SUMMON GOD. WHAT THE FUCK.

General Brackett bouta fuck shit up >:)
‘He has the advantage – he has the high ground’ smh not according to the Blood God you don’t
‘Jackie hollers some sort of battle cry and slices into his leg – there’s a clang, and nothing happens.’ Tak you fucker you watched Hawkeye didn’t you >:(
JACKIE NO!!!!!!! Watson you done did it now
‘This guy, Ran thinks to himself for what is definitely not the first time, is extremely screwed up in the head’ and that’s why you’re perfect for each other :)
Oh theank god the kids are still okay for now
THE EARRING???? HELLO????? WHAT????
Wait what no fuck this can’t be it you’re not gonna fucking die right now
‘“Yes sir,” he whispers back, raising one arm in a weak salute.’ Waht. No. no no non no. We are NOT doing this today. My fuking heart I am punching my pillow so hard right now do not die what the fuck.
‘“Are you two done kissing back there?!” shouts Clementine’s annoyed voice’ An Innit through and through :D
