The Sign of the Devil, Oscar de Muriel

The Sign of the Devil, Oscar de Muriel

5/5 stars! A wonderfully-thrilling final book to the Frey and McGray series, The Sign of the Devil is full to the brim of twists and turns with family secrets revealed and bombshells dropped mercilessly throughout. It was everything I had hoped it would be and so much more. Multiple grave-robberies? Murdered asylum patients? The sign of the devil reappearing everywhere? Nothing is adding up in…

You know, it's so crazy to me. Because Cellbit is going on this...murderous rampage, and he practically (flat-out?) told Bagi he doesn't really care who's with him, just who's against him. The evidence is starting to stack up against him. His absence is being noted across the server. People are investigating on their own and coming to conclusions.

And yet...

And yet island residents keep on putting themselves in the way.

Cellbit and Foolish have such a strong relationship regardless of their differences that Foolish is willing to throw Bad—Bad!—under the bus to try and cover up Cellbit's involvement.

Cellbit and Bagi had such a strong connection during their childhood that it has carried across 15 years of absence, to the point that Bagi lied to Cucuruchito's face, taking the fall in order to protect him.

Cellbit and Bad's background runs so deep and so closely that Bad is even considering sacrificing (or at the very least, altering) a plan that has clearly taken months of work to put together just to try and help him get back to normal.

Cellbit and Roier's relationship is strong, and everyone knows that, but it's to the point where Roier is willing to throw himself down this rabbit hole with Cellbit, consequences be damned.

Hell, even Pac—the man that he tortured, hurt, tried to kill back in prison all those years ago. Even he promised to help Bagi try to help Cellbit.

Cellbit continues to try and sacrifice everything for those he loves, over and over again. We saw it with Felps and the Federation, we saw it with Roier and Abueloier (sort of), we saw it with Richas and those investigations that threatened his life, and we're seeing it again here with Bagi and his wider family.

He keeps trying to sacrifice himself. To cut his losses, fly away, leap off the edge. But his connections, his friends—his family ties are so strong that they will consistently yank him back down to the solid, firm ground.

canon divergence where the poison kicks in earlier/harder, and so instead of having their Dramatique Divorce Hatefuck Fight in the east sea, Di Feisheng gets to whatever beach he's going to storm the sigu sect/fight Xiangyi on etc, and finds Li Xiangyi face down in the sand, poisoned to shit and barely breathing, clearly in zero state to fight because of the near death experience he is currently, uh, experiencing.

no worries though, Di Feisheng has medicine demon on call. Clearly whatever the fuck is going on here is uhhhh Incredibly Sus, given someone has now tried to murder both of the leaders of Sigu sect and apparently actually succeeded killing 1/2, but honestly, not really Di Feisheng's problem! his problem is getting Xiangyi back into fighting shape and then, y'know, fighting him. best of luck to the Sigu sect but he's different.

except of course he -- and everyone else on the boat, one assumes -- rock back up to medicine demon's weird offsite lab living situation, and medicine demon is like good news boss I recognise this poison! bad news boss it's super ultra fatal and also the poison is coming from inside the house alliance

which is very extremely no bueno, both because uhhh who the fuck betrayed him like this he needs their heads on spikes yesterday, and also because what the fuck do you mean there's no cure, fucking work one out!

long story short: di feisheng spends the next mmmmm several years laying low, maybe kinda faking his death/seclusion a little by implication of dropping off the map after a big duel was meant to happen, while he and the few people he's sure he can trust go right the hell through the Jinyuan alliance trying to find all the people who betrayed him.

and also playing the world's scariest nurse/buddy cop duo to Li xiangyi, who is not yet dead of poison thanks to medicine demon's questionable approach to medical ethics and informed patient consent, is very fucking angry about life, and very fucking determined to find out who murdered his shixiong and made him break the treaty under false pretences.

(and also poisoned him, he guesses).

#mysterious lotus casebook #li xiangyi #di feisheng #waters words #i just think the idea of two mid twenties fuckheads trying to red string conspiracy board wtaf #is funny! #di feisheng: terrible nurse who WILL make you take medicine demon's newest prescription so help him god is also very funny. #to me. specifically. #(also why doesn't li xiangyi go home to sigu sect? well bc it disbands per canon obviously #why doesn't he show up like 'hey not dead please help'? #uhhh similar reasons to canon. #plus also the several unanswered questions #like who poisoned him. who set di feisheng up. who murdered his shixiong) #(also for real where the fuck was di feisheng's ship going. like did the sigu sect also have a port division) #also again sorry for any weird spelling etc eyt i am writing this on mobile

hold on is the reason why colin banned external electronics and refuses to go near cameras because he knows he'll be watched by the audience? like how in tma the audience can be interpreted as a metaphorical (or literal) part of the eye, the audience of tmagp watches the o.i.a.r team through technology (phone recordings, the computers, cctv footage)

i guess thats why colin has much less screen time than the others

yeah taimizu IS toxic and off putting actually ‼️‼️🗣️🗣️🗣️

EDIT: TO BE CLEAR THIS IS A POST IN FAVOUR OF TAIMIZU!!! I AM A DIRTY TAIMIZU SHIPPER!!!!!

#it's funny because that was my FIRST thought about them but then i realised wait this is scratching some itch in my brain #people are all very correct about this btw and their discomfort and dislike of the ship is valid #but it's so interesting to me and that's why these days I'm leaning further into that toxic aspect of their rship in my art #that whole “strangles you with the red string of fate” drawing i did was meant to capture that as well #like this equal amount of aggression and twisted affection/attraction they have for one another #like it's very fucked up #and people are not wrong to think so but i enjoy it LOL #one of the theses of my fic is literally “theyre fucked up but they make it work” #like i dont want them to be perfectly healed and normal by today's standards #i want them to be crazy and murderous but work through their shit individually AND together and make things work #and have feral nasty sex bcs mizu deserves to be a pillow princess (TO MEEEEE) #i still have a meta drafted that actually goes in depth on their rship and why we “”“should”“” root for them #but my brain is goop rn and cramps are KILLING MEEEEE so have this first instead #taimizu #blue eye samurai #fandom.rtf #shut up haydar #wank.mp3

#rain world oc #iterator oc #druid draw #off string au #rivers #phrases #root #glass #glass is so fucking small im still not over it. her anatomy looks terrible (i see issues all around the board actually) but i cant be fucke #tiny tiny thing. throws her faaaar #i fucked up rivers arm because when he collapses in canon timeline that arm rips off! maybe its like finns arm and hes just destined to get #-it messed up. might still rip it all the way off sometime depending on what i decide. you're not safe rivers #oc posting #i think its really funny if phrases was a murder machine this whole time and nobody knew

Love when people make the Prison Dimension essentially Rise Leo’s version of 2007 Leo’s jungle

#rottmnt #rottmnt leo #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #prison dimension #god I love the prison dimension as a concept and when Leo has to navigate that hellscape #Leo after escaping that place: grey and pink? atrocious colors #Leo comes back in a cloak and after learning that he’s been surviving dimensional space hell- #casey fully expects him to look as muscled out as dear old peepaw #and then Leo drops the cloak and the boy is a string bean #turns out a diet of jack shit during the universes worst and longest game of hide and seek does not a bodybuilder make #he speedy tho #can u imagine rise donnie as a tech consultant tho #he’d murder the callers 2007 donnie would get 💀

Heart really likes to chew on rubbery things (ex: pencil grips) and has a strong bite, Mind really likes to chew on soft fluffy things (ex: sweater) and has a soft bite, and Soul really likes to chew on hard crunchy things (ex: plastic) and has a medium bite

Also hms all also communicate with growling, purring, ect.

#chonny jash #submission #cj mind #cj heart #cj soul #chonnys charming chaos compendium #wanting to put my own bitings in so its Wholes turn cos he's the left over guy in dodgeball #wooden or metal things. occasionally plastic. anything that a small cylinder thing like pencils. pens. straws etc. #also the botttom parts of the drum stick necklace & the ends of hoodie strings. metal ones & plastic ones #bite strength varies. biting while thinking is usually softer. tho if too deep in thought he'd end up murdering the top of a straw #sometimes the feeling to bite comes outta nowhere an you just gotta like. bite smth you know? #tries very hard not to bite hard but its usually a medium bite tho #lips & knuckles are also a mini biting habit #could see any of them doing that tbh

"the fault, dear Brutus -" (Julius Caesar)

Quotes from A Critical History of English Literature by David Daiches. Panels from Death in the Family, Under the Red Hood, Lost Days, and Batman and Robin.

#OKAY SO i have been thinking about the hamlet post since i reblogged it the other day so i had to find panels to fit it #anyway i don't post about him much BUT #i do find jason fascinating both in terms of the Nonstop Emotional Intensity but also because on a narrative level #this is hard to articulate and possibly you need access to my dartboard of string in order to understand but #at some moments it's almost structurally as if you took the hero of a classic tragedy #and you put him in a story where he's the villain #it's like. what if hamlet but the story was told from the point of view of laertes #what if antigone but our pov character was ismene #you take the epic greek tragedy-esque stage and the tragic dramatic hero outraged at a terrible crime and the pile of bodies #and like. all of that is still true!! he really did get murdered!! it was really bad!! it's legit that he is mad about it!! #but then you frame it all from the perspective of the people going #'you just killed my dad and drove my sister to suicide you jackass' #and!!! they're not wrong either!! #and just ahhhh the way you can do that perspective-flip is just endlessly fascinating to me #web weaving #my comic art but we are using the term ''art'' loosely

Something about Riz Gukgak and Max Durden works actually... 😏

#fantasy high #dimension 20 #d20 fantasy high #fantasy high junior year #riz gukgak #max Durden #something something easily stressed hyper active nerd and chill anarchist dynamic #their dates would involve lots of red string and a murder board #also i could totally see max taking riz aside seeing how he's about to snap under pressure and help him relax
