Spamton’s relationship with the Addisons, the way each of them treated and felt about him and why it matters
aka “I gave those Ads personalities so you don’t have to!” (not really)
after the normal fight with Spamton, the player can go back through the city, and if talking to Addisons, most of them have a special dialogue about him
Combining those dialogues with what they have to say about him in the Trash Zone, i think we can easily put together what each of them thought about him and what kind of relationships they had with him.
Disclaimer: this (really long) post was made as an observation, mostly of what was stated in the game (and a bit of my personal biases) and, basially, for the funsies. I am also very sorry if i make any grammar or punctuation mistakes, english is not my first language.
i’m going to divide all the Addisons to four colors, and summarize how each color feels about Spamton. (ex. Pink doesn’t like spamton, Orange mostly does not care etc.) Describing the first Orange and the second one as mostly the same, the first Blue and the second are as well and so on. I could as well be very wrong about that, but it’s my personal interpretation.
so, lets see what all the Ads (i’m going to call them that cuz ‘Addisons’ is too fucking long to type every single time)
when asking Orange Addisons about Spamton, after fighting him:
"Spamton? ... Haven't heard that name in a long time"
"Spamton? ... We don't talk about that around here"
when asking Blue Addisons:
"Spamton? ... We don't talk about that around here"
"Spamton? ...No idea who you're talking about"
It’s worth mentioning that neither of the Pink ones ( the “Tea” Pink Addison nor the “Marriage shoes/ Freeze ring” Pink Addison) even mention him, saying their default lines.
But more about those weirdos later!
All of the Ads are startled from hearing his name again, after such a long time. While the first Orange one shows kind of nostalgia and maybe sadness, the others are avoiding talking about him and even being hostile from hearing his name.
(well, the case with the “Shoe sample” Blue Addison, who says they don’t know who Kris is talking about, could be that they actually don’t know him, but with the context that all the others do know Spamton and that there are two Blue Addisons explaining what happened to him, it seems very, very unlikely)
so what do they say about Spamton after the NEO fight and how it concludes the way they feel about him?
(here’s a full script of what they told Kris. the words that are highlighted are the ones i think are keys to understand each of their relationships.)
(YELLOW) He was... Like the rest of us. Just... a little unlucky. For some reason, his products never seemed to hit... ... and the lightners never even looked his way... Poor guy.
(BLUE) Night after night, when we all went to the same cyber grill, He'd shoot his mouth about making it big someday. "You just watch! Someday, I'm gonna be a big shot!"
(ORANGE) he started to get a little desperate. I heard he started looking for any way to become more popular. Somehow, he made the right phone call, and found someone. Or, was he... found BY someone? They must have been helping him, because suddenly he was on the phone all the time...
(PINK) Suddenly, he got really good at his job. The clicks started piling up... What? What did he do? Why did HE deserve this? We were all so jealous of him, We stopped going out with him. I mean, wasn't he a big shot? He didn't need us anymore, did he...?
(YELLOW) Even so, he only got more and more succesful. He moved into a luxurious room in the Queen's mansion... He started bragging about big TV deals, big cars, big commercials... But then things started to crack. It seems like whatever was helping him... Disappeared. His sales dropped to zero... and everything came crashing down.
(BLUE) The day he was to be evicted from the Queen's mansion, I went to his room to check on him... But he wasn't there. There was only a phone hanging off the handle. He must've left in the middle of a conversation, Because I could still hear someone on the other end... ... But when I put the receiver to my ear... There was nothing but garbage noice.
i think it’s very interesting that Addisons of different colors also talk about different aspects of his early life, which are
Yellow talking about his unluckiness and success,
Blue talking about his personality and disappearance,
Orange talking about his desperation,
and Pink straight up trashing him! Oh, and also abandonment.
let’s summarize!
Orange Addison(s) weren't involved in Spamton's life as much as the others
given the fact that they’ve heard (probably from the others) that he started to get desperate, we can assume they weren’t very close to Spamton. They know him, but don’t keep in close contact with him, although the moment he was suddenly on the phone all the time, they realize it quickly. They most likely didn’t believe in Spamton, seemingly shocked that he was able to make the right phone call.
despite that, we see a Spamton-shaped mannequin in their shop (which is on sale) that could either mean that Orange Ad thinks about him sometimes, or is following Blue Addisons steps in leaving everything about that guy behind.
Another thing worth mentioning is that along with the Pink Addison (although for complitely different reasons), there is only one Orange Addison after the Spamton NEO fight, as if they don’t have anything to say about him, only proving my theory to be correct.
Blue Addison(s) cared about Spamton (at some degree at least) but they try to emotionally detach from him, leave him in the past
When describing Spamton (pre-BIG SHOT era) they don’t make him look either bad nor good, simply retelling his words, that he’s shoot his mouth about making it big … and the implications that most of his friends didn’t actually have faith in him.
even though they all stopped going out with Spamton from being jealous of him, this one was still close to him (somehow), leaving that jealousy behind (it is unclear whether or not all the Ads felt this way, but it's assumed they did) when they go check on him what they saw and heard most likely traumatized them, looking at how they don’t talk about him here and unlike Orange, try to leave their past with him behind, or even possibly a secret.
We don’t know whether or not they told everyone else about “the garbage noise incident”. If no: it could only explain why everybody else talk so different about him; but if yes, which is more likely and explains a lot more: it could also explain why everybody talks so different of him! It means that specifically Blue and Yellow Addisons cared the most (and why there are two of each of them) , having so much impact from Spamton suddenly disappearing, it means that all of them feel guilt from abandoning him and tbh being pretty shitty friends to him.
bonus: an interesting thing i noticed, that when returning to Castle Town (no matter if you fought Spamton NEO, and no matter what route you’re on) there is a Blue Addison standing next to a Spamton-shaped mannequin, which probably means nothing, but i’m going to count this as them still, even after all this time, caring about him and wanting to spend time again.
Pink Addison, that sus motherfucker (tm) and a certified (canon) "Spamton hater"! (with guilt)
Out of all the Ads, we have the most information and a lot more to discuss about them.
Firstly, (only looking at actual information from the game) there are 3 Pink Addisons that we can see, two of which can sell us stuff. that could mean that they are either the more succesful of all of them, that they just love advertizing… or that Spamton “disappearing” didn’t affect their sales anyway. Or who knows, maybe it’s random and does not mean anything.
Like was mentioned earlier, they’re the only one(s) who don’t have special dialogue about Spamton. If, for example, it was to make the party react at their lines differently, when it's Kris, Ralsei and Susie, instead of only Kris and Noelle (although this could also apply to the other Ads, who could've given differenty dialogue because of Susie and Ralsei, so this explanation sucks tbh), or if at least one of the other selling Addisons also had nothing to say about him, it could be possible that those particular Ads just didn’t know him or it was a coincidence, and Toby Fox didn’t care about those details.
But knowing the fact that it was specifically the Pink ones, one of whom also for SOME REASON had a role in the snowgrave route, "coincidentally" also selling a ring to the gaslight gatekeep girlboss duo, and only one of whom appeared in the Trash Zone (compared to the pairs of Blue and Yellow ones, excluding Orange who didn't have much to say about Spamton), saying mostly negative things about Spamton (probably being the most jealous of all the Addisons), well...
i don’t think they got along very well.
they didn’t believe Spamton would be good at his job, not that suddenly anyway, being suspicious of the source of that success and jealous of him. Compared, for example, to the Yellow Addison, who never mentions being jealous and overall had a good relationship with their short friend, they seem to express a noticeable distaste towards him.
so, with all this evidence it seems like they really hate him, right...?
well, yeah!... No. I mean, you don't feel guilt over the person you hate getting lost and possibly being dead or even miss them, do you?
So, remember how Blue Addison copes with their loss of Spamton? that's right, emotional detachment, "moving on" and trying to not be associated with him, all done by someone who at least cared about him. sounds familiar?
Pink Addison(s) talk so bitter of Spamton being convinced of him not needing them anymore, being so resentful of him because they believed he abandoned them first since he's now even more successful than any of them, so why would he still hang out with his friends anymore,why would he still want to hang out with them specifically concidering their treatment of him?
on another note, as previously stated, it's an interesting detail that both Pink Addison and Spamton sell Kris and Noelle (who they both call “Angel”) a ring, that supposedly "makes you stronger", although Spamton, being a desperate little sad man he is, helps the player with telling them how many people you still need to murder to get the Thorn Ring, while that motherfucker wonders why there are frozen corpses on the streets and all the living people are runnung for their lives, sees you and offers you an item that makes you stronger, and then, heh... proceeds to tell you a price that is exactly 1 g more than you have.
well anyway.
It seems like all the Addisons, despite regretting what happaned to their unlucky friend, don't let their personal relations affect their careers. Except...
Yellow Addison(s), their empathy and sorrow.
this special fella only appears in game after defeating Spamton NEO, unlike their peers. In contrast to Orange, Pink or even Blue, whos sales weren't perturbed cause of the guy they don't talk about, we never see Yellow Addisons with their stores, selling.
One of the explanations can be that there weren't enough room for them, but if so, why do we even meet them? it's not like Spamton's backstory would've been too different without them, so why do they only make an appearence in that certain scene?
Simple. just like the Blue Addisons, there are two of Yellow ones, and knowing how they're the only one who openly expresses pity and sorrow not only about after what happaned, but also about Spamton's life before he became a "big shot", they probably understood his difficulties a lot. They never blame him for not succeeding, only mentioning his bad luck, not because they thought he was bad at his job.
As the Pink Addison talks about all of them abandoning Spamton, the next Ad talks about how he got more and more popular, and about how he started bragging about his new successful life, which… who would he be bragging all this to? it’s yet another similarity to the Blue Addison: both of them seemed to be close to their unlucky friend, and while Blue wanted to check on Spamton in his day of eviction, Yellow kept in contact with him, and based on the reaction to his success from Pink Addison, it’s easy to note that they were supportive of him, even if they were jealous.
This only makes it worse when everything comes crashing down for Spamton, since they actually supported him it seems like his downfall and disappearance really badly affected Yellow Addison, judging by the lack of Yellow Ads in the city and things mentioned earlier.
another theory that i've heard a few times before is that the reason why Yellow Addison(s) are not present in the city is because they were still looking for Spamton, which is, angst!! look how hard i can cry!!
conclusion
if you've read up to this point in the post, thank you! it's the firsts time i'm writing something like this!
i think it's very cool that in a game like deltarune you can get so much interesting lore if you look deeply into the lines of those silly characters. Though no matter how much i would love my own theories and headcanons to be true, i think it's important to note that a lot of canon evidence is up for interpretation! so if you have anything more to say or have different opinions on this topic feel free to tell me! i'd love to hear other people's thoughts about those funky weird advertisement guys
this post was mostly inspired by @brightgoat ‘s interpretation of the Addisons (so go check their art out :) )
#no thoughts only ads (addisons tag)#still can’t believe it is actually possible to give them canon-based personalities#yet here we are#deltarune#addisons#utdr#spamton#utdr analysis post#orange addison#blue addison#pink addison#yellow addison

Weekly Ted Lasso bummer post, this one is gonna be about Rebecca. I’m turning off reblogs because I don’t really need a second opinion, I just wanted to organize my thoughts and put them somewhere. I’ve already spoken to a lot of people about it, if you’re one of them, this won’t have anything new. Again, I reserve my right to be completely wrong later, these are just my right now feelings. Anyway-
The way they handled Rupert and Rebecca’s relationship in the latest episode bothered me.
Don’t get me wrong, I liked the window into their past, I don’t mind Rupert coming across as a human being, I enjoyed getting a better sense of why they were in love once and I’m glad Rebecca has allowed herself to move on but something about it, I can’t quite put my finger on what, feels like it undermined the fact that Rupert is an abuser.
The way it was handled, in my opinion, belonged to a marriage that ended in resentment because Rupert lied and cheated. Period.
In fact, it felt so detached from their history of abuse that I found myself thinking that what they shared in this episode was, in essence, something I would’ve liked to have seen from Ted and Michelle, except the circumstances of those relationships could not be more different, so why did this feel interchangeable?
Afterwards I even started to question if we were ever supposed to see Rupert as an abuser, if the writers would categorize him that way. Yes, “Wear this, eat that” is on the show, but Hannah added that line, and Hannah has been the person who’s predominantly spoken out about this facet of Rupert and Rebecca’s relationship, so I wonder if the creators know what they were launching by committing to that piece of dialogue.
To be fair, I maybe shouldn’t be surprised, they never really addressed the abuse past the line that revealed it and have played up the cheating aspect a lot more. I thought it would finally come up as we saw Rupert repeat those patterns with Nate, and it did a little, but ultimately it fell flat (to me), especially since they once again made infidelity the breaking point (possibly to parallel Rebecca some more).
It would be sad to find out I grossly misinterpreted this key aspect of the show because it’s a cornerstone of Rebecca’s character and makes her motivations much more interesting. If their relationship was never as nefarious as I previously envisioned it I really need to change my entire outlook on season one.
However, if the writers are aware of the fact that Rupert is an abuser, and see him that way, I find the whole thing even more confusing and stressful, because then does that mean they don’t think of emotional abuse as that serious or traumatizing? Because if Rupert had physically abused Rebecca I am confident this episode would have never played out this way.
Anyway, that’s my big qualm, the whole thing just doesn’t feel like it matches up to what they’d previously established and it sent me on a spiral. I might be overreacting, I don’t know, but I’ve rewatched it twice and I’ve talked to people who disagree and still, this is where I’m at.

🤹🤐
🤹: Plot points I’m juggling
Having Morgan interact with Bates in 1x19. I’d love to, but…it’s gonna be a bit tricky to fit her in (because I wanna have them briefly interact before Bates assaults Caitlin later in the episode—Morgan is intentionally kept in the dark about that, and for good reason). Still, I’ll do my best! After all, the Barry & Morgan angst in that situation practically writes itself (and beyond that...it leads into another plot point I hope to implement later).
Having Morgan be part of the Jesse rescue mission vs keeping her away from Team Flash until 2x16 (the clubbing/Trajectory episode). She’ll be involved in that episode either way, but…whether I want her as part of the E2 rescue mission is smth I’m still debating.
Trying to figure out wtf to do about Lucy and Luke’s lightsaber situation 😅 currently, they’re sharing one (and a blaster, for when one of them is using the lightsaber), mostly because there isn’t a reason for them to have a second one yet. They weren’t close enough to Obi-Wan to grab his when he died (they probably would’ve also died if they were close enough for that tbh). And even post-ESB…Luke gets a new one, but at the cost of losing the one he already has. So…I’m gonna have to be a little creative there.
🤐: Unpublished dialogue
Spitballing for the s3 arc (yeah yeah, it's a while from now, but obsessing over Savitar goes hand-in-hand with thinking about s3):
As Morgan approached, he caught sight of her and smiled, managing to look halfway sheepish. "Hey, Mo. Sorry to ambush you."
"What do you want?" She crossed her arms.
"I was hoping we could…talk about earlier." He wrung his hands as he spoke, though his steady gaze never wavered from hers. "Could you do your hotheaded big brother a favor and hear him out?"
She pursed her lips and walked closer to the car, and he moved aside as she opened the door to the driver's side. "Here I thought you didn't like being a passenger."
He smiled slightly. “A sacrifice I’m willing to make. It's more important we get to talk…without possibly being interrupted."
wip ask game!

Were wheatleys intentions, from the second he met chell, to escape aperture or take control of the facility? Like before he was in glados’ body did he want to leave with chell Or actually just be in charge? (if that makes sense)
I was just gonna respond to this with another gif of wheatley exploding, but I figure I should tackle this topic. Wheatley’s intentions are difficult to read, there’s a lot you can interpret of his character. However, I know one thing for absolute certain:
The GLaDOS Chassis does not corrupt Wheatley to become “evil”.
Wheatley is a troubled character, if you read into his dialogue you can tell he struggles with his self-confidence, being neglected to managing a whole sector of Relaxation Pods wherein everyone is dead already kind of says enough. He tends to project his emotions a lot onto others, mostly on Chell, like telling her to not panic as GLaDOS is reactivated while hes the one actually panicking, y’know the works.
Though I think there is one thing to wrap around to - PotatOS describes Wheatley as someone only capable of making the worst possible decisions, that’s just what he was programmed to do since he was at first attached to GLaDOS. However he would later be replaced by the Knowledge Core we see in Portal 1, and he’d be relegated to managing the Relaxation Center. It’s a bit hard to analyse Wheatley’s character due to this “he always makes the worst choice” description from PotatOS as while she can only tell the truth in potato form, it’s a very flat analysis to just say Wheatley is just perpetually an idiot.
I do think Wheatley did genuinely want to seek power, perhaps just as a way of “getting back” at the facility that tossed him aside the second they got a better version of him attached on GLaDOS. In his bossfight at the end of the game, one of the dialogue lines he spouts if you idle about is that he apparently had tried to wake up 6 other humans prior to Chell, all of them dying in some way. It’s hard to validate this line to whether it’s the truth or a lie considering Wheatley’s state in the fight, but it’s an interesting thought nontheless. I like to think Wheatley was telling the truth, as it ties into some of his dialogue about humans in the Escape sequence of Portal 2.
Y’know, constantly complaining about him having to manage humans, calling them smelly, kind of just insulting them until he remembers, “oh wait, I’m travelling with a human who is helping me, I shouldn’t say that infront of them.”
So then, when Wheatley is in that Core Transfer Bay, and he’s being placed onto the GLaDOS Chassis, I do think something flips in his brain. Erik Wolpaw in the Official Portal 2 Guide describes that the Chassis kind of exaggerates what kind of person you are, so for GLaDOS it made her really like testing even more-so compared to when she was Caroline, but for Wheatley it, I quote, “turned an idiot into a bigger idiot.” (I’ll find this later and attach it to this post)
Ultimately my consensus is, I do think Wheatley genuinely wanted to take over Aperture Science from the beginning, perhaps as a way for him to lash back out at the facility that threw him away to manage a sector comprised nearly entirely of dead Test Subjects, his betrayal of Chell and not letting her escape? I think that’s what Wolpaw meant by him becoming a “bigger idiot”, he’s got all this power now but no one to turn it against since GLaDOS is practically defeated and all the scientists are long dead, so he turns it on you, the only representation of humanity he has, an extension of his past of managing that huge Relaxation Center. He’s turning his anger towards Chell because she represents, to him, all that time he spent managing skeletons.

The problem with just giving my whole M*A*S*H Season 1 viewguide a watch, is that I think I might have been good at this. Because now I’m like, hmm Season 1, best season? Cannot possibly be!! But! !
Anyway I never posted my backstage notes on the first season because I didn’t take any notes on the first season, because I’d just had a minor surgery and was, a little bit rather medicated. Just enough to be like, peaceful dismissive flomp of the hand, wrist Very loose.
But I have thoughts now.
M*A*S*H Season 1 Notes Finally
(Deluxe Episode Selection)
1x15 ‘Tuttle’
Phasing out the bits of original score laying over the start of the cold opens was a mistake, this is so worn-in & cozy I could cry
I had missed Hawkeye promptly swooping up this nun’s hand—to clean the engine oil off it with the bottom of his jacket. Overwhelmed that this would be his introduction to anyone following my list.
Also hadn’t realized I’d kicked off with an episode where Hawkeye starts talking about a man getting pregnant within the first three minutes. Starting strong for our BOY (gender neutral)
I’m just so happy. I was right, 'Tuttle' best first episode. 'Tuttle' best episode? I am also so happy watching the laugh track version again, I don’t know! I really can't figure out why I feel it highlights somehow how the early seasons were soooo Catch-22, the idiotic and painful absurdism of the military, and the surreal blitheness that those who can see it take refuge in.
Have I not noticed before that Radar’s cot is just one the beds from post-op, with that cross bar across the head of it
WAIT WE SAW SPARKY HERE???? ‘Tuttle’ perfect intro wow
Hawkeye does not frequently tent his eyebrows like this and good on it as we might be in a 'some dead, many injured' situation otherwise
Hehe I’d missed early seasons Radar, this sweet but entire little freak...
/
1x09 ‘Henry, Please Come Home’
They are all SO scruffy (even Radar!!!), yet Hawkeye also has his shirt tucked in. Disorienting visual moments to come back to. (Don’t hate it!)
I think about the physical dialogue of this wordless bit of Frank trying to get Hawkeye & Trapper to salute him all the time
I cannot figure why Hawkeye and Trapper are staying sooo low in the bath, up to their ears, besides that maybe they just happened into it on the day and found that it was extremely funny, because it is.
Okay and now I want to know why they are wearing kimonos over full Class A uniforms, with tie. They look so handsome and silly.
Really remembering now why this was my second up: the sequence where Henry takes charge is one of the more interesting and rewarding character bits of early Season 1. It’s important to know early on that Henry can step up, and really cares about his people, as he’s gonna be such a goofy buffoon a lot of the time, but will be called upon for gravity and pathos in certain moments. Seeing him in this episode bolsters those moments so much when they come later.
he literally seduced him
Fun I had just meant to stylize that with a hashtag and Tumblr did this to it. Leaving it!
/
1x06 ‘Yankee Doodle Doctor’
They really talked to generals a whole lot more in the early days huh
Lol wait, he’s only a brigadier general
The scene of Hawkeye & Trapper dancing in each other's arms around their tent is just….they are Together. This was the sixth episode.
TRAPPER JOHN, YOUR GOLDEN RETRIEVER BOYFRIEND:
Hawkeye: “Oh, that’s my bad side.”
Trapper: “You looked good to me.”
Hawkeye: “Oh-oh-oh, you were good in that place! Isn’t that good?”
Trapper: [laughs delightedly, beaming]
Trapper, literally, stepping in between them as Hawkeye's bodyguard, Hawkeye playing up the leading lady, “Save your voice, my darling”—THEM IN THIS EPISODE.
It’s funny that this is also our first & only glimpse of Alan Alda, Future Actual Director
Wait, is his name Crandle?? Oh lord I looked this up later: yes. Brigadier Gen. Crandell Clayton. Naming Awards.
Gary laughing when Wayne bonks him on the head with this prop mallet for “anesthesia” as powerful a painkiller as one ibuprofen
It’s just a good little monologue, huh. It gets me every time. Part of it is those haunted silver eyes, and we have the black & white to thank for that, but it’s just a nice bit of writing too, and a nice choice to play it almost calmly (tiredly) direct. He is Looking.
/
1x07 ‘Bananas, Crackers, and Nuts’
This muted, meandering riff on the theme is so so pleasing
Trapper asleep on a bed in the OR, welcome
Oh my god, this episode was their “Our first fight” moment. My babies…<3 Why does Alan keep Hawkeye’s bent knuckle resting against Trapper’s bare arm for half of this vacation planning…<3
Trapper: “I’m worried about Hawkeye.”
Frank: “Well I wouldn’t be. He does very well looking after himself.”
Margaret: “Very well.”
Trapper: “That’s exactly the point, he’s not himself.”
Frank: “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Trapper: “He seems to be losing touch with reality.”
Henry: “I think the last person we have to worry about is Hawkeye Pierce!”
Margaret: “I second that.”
You know what. This episode is destroying the scraps that remained of my own sanity. I’m ruined maybe most by Trapper jumping on the idea of “he looks after himself” as a worrying sign of self-editing. I’m reading into that but also, as Frank asks, what's that supposed to mean? If not something like that?
Ah this shot of the moon beyond the PA speaker…!
His like, James Dean look up through the forelock of his hair talking about the man he’s in love with…fucking hell, Hawkeye
“You know she dyes her hair blonde? That’s why I died my hair black. I think Frank should have a clear choice.” This joke has always killed me. That’s such good bonkers logic, and also a bit custom-made for Tumblr.
Absolutely adore Frank & Margaret silently conferring with each other just upstage, actually. Something that is really well rendered with them is the co-conspirator angle of being a couple.
“This is the Army, no one can do the best they can!” See I did miss this kind of thing later. This is a whole nuanced essay I need to write about Lt. Colonel Blake to Col. Potter, and it will be so much about the Vietnam War.
I think I’m starting to figure out the difference in early Radar, and it’s that he was still super innocent but simultaneously, crafty. He is constantly, or at least every episode in my list so far, roped into schemes by Hawkeye & Trapper as like their inside man, which he tends to perform well, for a comedic value of well.
The ‘Bananas, Crackers, and Nuts’ rewrite where the psychologist is Sidney Freedman. Everything goes the same, except of course, Sidney has no previous connection to Margaret. But they still send Radar in trying to make this scheme happen, and Sidney is just so amused watching Radar try to pull something off, sipping his soup surreptitiously, that he goes along with it. He just keeps going along with it, cheerily makes the same burnt-out bulb joke about how “my profession is helping people find their way in the dark,” and then when he finally figures it out of course tries to stop Margaret from undressing, and she flips, but then cracks up at the idea that she’d be trying to sleep with HIM, the opposite of her general type (pun inteeeended), and she actually makes this joke, which cracks Sidney up, partly just imagining himself as a general, so when the boys rush in to catch him they’re just cackling together, and Sidney’s like you know what, this has been entertaining. I’m not taking Pierce right now as it’s clear he has a support system (cut to Trapper and Radar), but I’m gonna be back, to check in on ALL of you. Margaret’s like, I’d like that. :) Frank is like, Margaret?! This is my vision.
(And then the Wouldn’t Actually Happen In Real M*A*S*H But I’d Like It final button is Sidney having breakfast with them all in the mess tent the next morning before he heads out, seeing how they all are together under what passes for normal conditions, and then as he’s clearing his tray outside with Hawkeye just mildly asks, “So, Frank was it?” And Hawkeye’s fork stills over his tray, but already Sidney is just smiling at him and saying “Good choice—I really could have thought you were crazy.” And Hawkeye grins, and Frank comes outside, and they both laugh, and Larry Linville does that little sort of shifting stomp thing that he does over how he keeps walking into spaces where the psychiatrist is laughing and he doesn’t know why. FIN.)
Anyway trying to figure out why this scene with the not-Sidney psychiatrist and Margaret, in real M*A*S*H, didn’t bother me as much as it seems to have bothered lots of others. I think maybe it’s partly because it was never going to get very far, as they were already waiting outside to stop it as soon as it started? So it plays without an air of actual threat. And also that we’re supposed to hate this guy, he’s the episodic enemy, so Margaret’s fury against him is all framed as right & justified & him getting his just desserts. Unlike, sadly, a number of other “jokes” these early seasons, this episode positions a man trying to take advantage of a woman as wrong, punishable even. I think that’s why I was weirdly kinda okay with it. Though on the whole I mean I would have preferred we just, not. If we have to, would prefer the Sidney version I already laid out, OF COURSE.
/
1x11 ‘Germ Warfare’
Hey Oliver Jones was still here in this one too! Godspeed fella, your stay at the 4077 was too short.
Hawkeye, sleeping in a chair so the wounded North Korean soldier can have his cot, whispering “Trap?” without opening his eyes. No note I just like it.
The fucking theremin cue when they start stealing Frank's blood while doing their Dracula bit
“In the morning he will be one of my brides!” Alright.
Larry’s little meow in his sleep, omfg
Hawk stop trying to seduce Frank while he sleeps, this psychological torture is so…subliminal
Truly what makes incorrigible flirt Hawkeye work is that in just so many of his ceaseless attempts to seduce Nurse Cutler and Lieutenant this blonde babe, the joke is on him. He has no sense of shame or self-preservation.
“I’m only paranoid ‘cause everyone is against me.” I’D MISSED FRANK.
They walked back a little Radar being so, so psychic as well
The thing about Frank & Margaret is that while we hate Frank for Margaret (because we know later Margaret), it’s also extremely good that they fully are set up as the counter couple to Hawkeye & Trapper. Like 1000%. Those are the two couples. Constantly engaged in battle.
Was briefly considering if this should have gone before ‘Bananas, Crackers, and Nuts’ in my viewguide, but have decided it’s funnier if Hawkeye hits on Frank so much after the one where he pretends to be in love with him, like it puts the idea into his head.
Wait the boys brought Frank daisies???! Huge Frederick Chilton visiting Will Graham in the hospital tbh

1x12 ‘Dear Dad’
‘The Longjohn Flap’ is the first true And They Were All So Cold episode in that it’s the plot, but I was loathe to forget that this one invented being bundled. Hawkeye in his scarf writing this letter to his dad....my absolute origin story.
I MISS GINGER. Her vibes with Hawkeye and Trapper were so good.
Father Mulcahy is So Cute, look at him!
Henry stressfully cajoling his unruly audience, “Let’s just can the jokes, I’d like to get right down to the sex,” did make me laugh
A whole interlude about how Trapper is the strapping sweetie-pie of the outfit, wow
WAIT this was the first time you would have seen Klinger!!??! And he was so rowdy!!! Wow wild intro for him
“Attention all personnel: when filling out GI insurance forms, be sure to state your age and sex at the time of your last birthday.” Innncredible.
What do you think a snail smells like anyway
I’d forgotten that the first time Hawkeye kissed Margaret, just out in the middle of camp as a bit, he then promptly volunteered to go down on her, in so many words. Y’know this is the other thing that makes his pursuit of all the nurses (slash everyone) work: he’s extremely keen on making sure they have a good time. “I’ve certainly done my share to keep up [the nurses] morale,” he wrote earlier, “but I’ve only got two hands.” This apparently is the perfect cocktail for an incorrigible flirt: 1 part complete willingness to embarrass yourself, 1 part complete willingness to be a service anything.
And then of course that scene is immediate followed by one where he makes a joke that Trapper is getting him pregnant. ~HAWKEYE PIERCE~
Hmmm. Hawkeye paused before getting on the chopper and tried to say goodbye to Trapper just in case, and Trapper went “Tell me when you see me!” Aw Trap…
“All the ladies of the ensemble” oh my god...<3
/
1x19 ‘The Longjohn Flap’
I love Radar and Henry so much
It’s actually all of the cots, they’re all taken from post-OP supply huh
Trapper dealing cards into the stove one by one…
It’s just soooo goooood watching Hawkeye comically cave to poor shivering sneezing Trapper, he’s so resistant and such a soft touch at once
Have I ever mentioned in public how much I love Radar's makeshift ear-muffs---surgical gauze layered under his radio headphones---that he uses for multiple season's worth of cold episodes. Man...Now That's Television
‘The Longjohn Flap’ is so perfect. Hawkeye listing out all the descriptors of the long underwear Trapper has just lost (“double weave! semi-woolen!”) while he just sits there in shock, Radar already trying to unbutton them off his chest.
Trapper: “Hey. Look what the giant rodent has on his body.” Why is this line killing me.
Loretta’s bizarre little cold voice is just the greatest, wtf
Y’know, this transition from Klinger, in a bandana but fatigues, trying to blow Frank up with a grenade, to now being outside in a dress in the cold and saying “I’m crazy, ask anybody. Crazy Klinger,” kind of works?
Hawkeye: “Only God knows where they are now…”
[Cut to Father Mulcahy bringing a sentry coffee]
Alan I want to kiss you on the cheek
It also works as a second Klinger episode that once again his closest relationship seems to be with Father Mulcahy. Incidentally, I’m also seeing where the Klinger & Mulcahy truthers are coming from lately.
“—which we own” Oh so now the 'johns are collective property of the two of you
Hawkeye’s sweet overwhelmed joy when he gets them back, oh my gOD
What is this!!!!!!!!!
/
1x17 ‘Sometimes You Hear the Bullet’
Loretta Swit’s “trying to figure out how to grab crouched-over Frank to move him out of her tent” acting is so, so funny
Loretta Swit’s “pointing where Frank was coming from” acting is, you guessed it, so, so funny
Admittedly, the way Tommy fully seems like Hawkeye’s wild gay friend, is incredible. McLean Stevenson’s reaction to Tommy kissing him though is just the bee’s knees & all the rest of her.
But…this episode does still throw me off a little! Not for nothing is I think their only homophobic joke from Hawkeye? Unless we want to count “If you kiss me I’ll throw up,” but he says that while eyeing Trapper over a sip of his drink so it still just feels flirty ultimately.
“I’d give you a kiss but I…can’t move my head” is just quite good as a line I’ll give you
God I’m so sorry ‘Sometime You Hear the Bullet’, but look at that I’ve just come right back down on you again. It just doesn’t work for me! It’s too quick, you can’t introduce a character I’ve never heard of before, tell me he’s one of Hawkeye’s best friends, and kill him 10 minutes later, and not have me just looking at all the brush strokes and not the picture.
/
1x21 ‘Sticky Wicket’
“You go right to Major Houlihan, you set your jaw firmly, and you look into those cool, killer eyes of hers and you tell her I’ll be right there.” McLeeaaaaan
Radar waking up Hawkeye is always the cutest. I’m injured.
Sorry sorry to just bag again on ‘Sometimes You Hear the Bullet’, but really, I just feel like its relative emotional depth is shown up in sophistication by even just a few of these other S1 episodes. Margaret going from threatening Hawkeye with a formal complaint in one scene to the two of them working seamlessly together in the operating room in the next, and that’s the point, is so much more real about the nature of living in a surgical hospital camp during a war, if that’s what it is that 'Sometimes You Hear' is supposed to be giving.
Hawkeye, operating: “What’s the score, John?”
John, minding the patient’s vital signs: “He’s doing pretty well, considering what you’re doing to him.”
I can’t really explain exactly what emotion this inspires in me, but it sure does it
Putting this one right after the episode where he loses Tommy does give Hawkeye’s behavior in this one a specific interpretive flavor. Not sure if I prefer that though; there doesn’t always have to be reasons, you know?
Trapper hauls Hawkeye away from trying to murder Frank by the waist. Just FYI.
Ah and yes also the first time we see Trapper just physically steer him out of the hospital. Hawkeye is upset and Trapper has gone hands-on. Hmm I was probably going to rest easier before I noticed this.
The “I told you to leave me alone, Trapper,” bit, TRULY ...truly
Wait then Trapper ACTUALLY SHOWS UP, with booze. And literally is like, so is she helping? Wow? Wow.
Was this the first one that started on how Margaret is very good at her job
Y’know what, one of S1’s hottest episodes is: ‘Sticky Wicket’. This episode has everything: The very beginnings of Hawkeye & Margaret, Besties. Operating on war victims feeling like it has Consequences. Trapper jilted that Hawkeye left him for two nights, then relenting and being like [literally chucking his cheek] baby at least you came back. :) The first shower scene in my viewguide. McLean Stevensen sleep mask acting. And what's that? Why, it's Radar O’Reilly.
/
1x20 ‘The Army-Navy Game’
I do love how open Hawkeye always is with his fear. It’s nice.
Had missed before that Margaret is fully just leaning on Trapper as they cower near Henry comma concussed
“Yeah yeah, don’t panic, I’m doing that for everybody. Go inside.” LOVE Leadership Pierce, when it kicks in.
Army brass: “Call me at half-time, will ya Captain?”
Hawkeye, amazed, mockingly polite-society: “Certainly.”
Army brass: “If I don’t hear from you, I’ll understand.”
This Catch-22 shit in this episode is SO GOOD
Wait so was S1 just entirely the Klinger/Mulcahy hours and I just never noticed the pattern
Henry: “One foot, can you imagine!”
Radar: “Twelve inches!”
Literal lol
Henry: “….It’s whose?”
[scene cut]
Hawkeye: “The CIA!?”
Sublime.
Reading off the flyer: “Give yourselves up. You can’t win. - Douglas MacArthur”
It's perfect.

“‘Mhm,’ Punz has the audacity to sound bored.” of course he does the mf’ing ….
“‘I f-fucking hate you–‘ Tommy hates that his voice is shaky, like a frustrated child trying not to cry, which isn’t inaccurate.” tommyyyyy :((((((((( [also me, too, regarding his line of dialogue here]
“Tommy almost smirks. ‘You’ve caught on, have you? Stopped asking questions?’ Punz bristles. ‘I don’t need to,’ he says coldly. ‘Right, right,’ Tommy placates him. ‘Still, you can see it now, can’t you?’ ‘What?’ Tommy grins, mocking and belittling. ‘The leash.’ YESSSSSSSSSSSS GET HIS ASS
‘Yeah, I guess,’ Dream shrugs, adjusting his hold on Wilbur’s corpse. Tommy is doing his best not to look at him now, at either of them. ‘Okay, so, I’m gonna take this,’ he nods to Wilbur’s body, ‘back down to the base and then I’ll stasis you two back, how about that?’ dream’s consistent dehumanization of wilbur continues to get me every time. bristling with righteous fury
ohhhhhhh wilbur’s monologue in limbo…… him wanting so desperately to be able to do something and taking that inability to do so out on himself……
YESSSS WILBUR ACTUALLY GOT AN ATTACK IN. KING SHIT
“Wilbur stares at him, nausea intermingling with rage. He feels like this hatred is a physical thing, projecting fury like it can somehow burn, but even this loathing isn’t enough to actually save anyone.” uh oh — what’s this? genre change time! the immense amount of stress has awakened latent psychic powers in wilbur and now he can kill dream with his mind! go on a tetsuo-from-akira rampage! *not copium* (i know i’ve mentioned that movie before and i know this is a bad end story but still. the number of times i’ve wished crimeboys could be untouchably powerful and beat the everloving shit out of dream (and punz xoxo) like that is insane. i think it’s a very human kind of response, though.)
“Wilbur is no longer looking at him, staring at the ground, wishing he could self destruct and kill Dream with him.” seems like wilbur has the same kind of wishes as the ones i just mentioned :(((((((((
“Wilbur being here, despite the pains, is still horribly, undeniably worth it to Tommy. Despite all of his worries, at least he’s no longer alone, at least there’s one person in this fucked up place who he can always trust to be on his side.” not for long….. i’m going to fucking break when it happens
very good scene of dream and punz being terse with each other. but also “‘First, you’re gonna blow up L’Manberg.’” NOOOOOOOO NOT AGAINNNNN
“Tubbo doesn’t know the difference between excitement and rage anymore.” man. that’s him right there, summarized in a line
WOOOOOOOOO TUBBO WITH THE KNEE SHOT AND NIKI WITH THE CROSSBOW LET’S GOOOOOOOOOO
i’m absolutely loving this fight scene. very tense. also “‘Maybe because you didn’t stop him,’ Punz snaps.” OOOOOOOHHHH SHIT. also ‘heartbreaking. the (second-)worst person you know just made a great point’
yesssss punz keep living in fear forever and ever <3. sapnap, vessel of my rage, ily
“Pick one day a week to keep looking for me, because I know you’ll never give up, but I want you to keep living. And hey, not saying I’d mind you finding me, but still. And I give you my permission to stop. However many years down the line it takes for you to stop mourning me and be ready to live properly again, I give you my blessing. Fill in that grave, pretend I’m still there. Move in with Ranboo. Take care of each other. See, you have to do what I say because I’m the one dying here, got it?” FUCK, man. they’re just kids and yet they have to deal with all this and be alone and it’s not fair. this had me actually tearing up (not an easy feat). this is such a good paragraph of writing it’s INSANE. many thoughts head full about this rn - might post something more coherent in the discord later. this is definitely a huge english major moment for you in my opinion /extremely pos :)
aaa thank you!! :D I was very proud of this chapter. "Sapnap, vessel of my rage, ily" is such a rad line and such a mood.
Writing Tommy's letter broke me as well ngl. It was rough :(
As always your thoughts are a delight to read <3

Fic Rec VI: Assorodus
Main Post
Thoughts on Chapter 1 (spoilers)
I think chapter 1 starts out strong. It immediately shows you who or what the Reader might be, which hooked me into the story. It started out differently than most of the fics I’ve read.
There are also things that point to the reader having history with Morpheus, which I liked because build-up is always good, especially when it’s a slow burn. Later on you get to look back on those and think “Oh, so that’s what it’s about!” And I always like that feeling.
There’s a lot of celestial activity in the story and regarding the Reader, and obviously we don’t know what that’s about just yet, but I do feel that it’s maybe a crucial part of the story, so I’m paying attention every time there’s some mysterious force that’s commanding Reader about something. (Reader is very focused on her job, so whatever that something is, it scares—but also excites hehe—me that it might lead to angst.)
I personally think that line is good, especially with the context that later on, the Reader will endure the scorching pain for Morpheus’ sake. Gets you a look into just how much Reader cares for Morpheus, and makes you wonder even more what kind of relationship they really have.
Although I will say, Morpheus is more emotional here than in other fics, which I personally don’t mind. Because it looks to me that that’s how the author intended it to be, and because of the dynamic between Morpheus and the Reader, it makes sense for the story.
In the dynamic, it seems that the reader is the more protective one and Morpheus is like, the soft, teary-eyed bean that he is. But again, it makes sense because of who the reader is. I won;t say what she is though because that would be a major spoiler, you’d have to read the story for yourself if you want to know XP.
Like I said, the plot is very interesting, and I encourage y’all to read it and give PagieCake some support! (Because they deserve it and I really want to know what happens next—)
Writing-wise, I think it’s more tell-y than showy, but that’s not a bad thing. Just means the pacing is a little faster (for me, at least), especially at the beginning. It slows down the more you read though, it’s mostly the first chapter that’s fast because it’s introducing the Reader’s character. The Reader's character is also very complicated because of what she is, so to dwell too long on that is gonna take a lot of words so I get why it’s a little faster than the rest of the story’s pacing.
The paragraphs are also long (not all the time, though), which isn’t rare for fics and books. I’m only mentioning it to let y’all know. Because I’m dyslexic, bulky paragraphs are a little harder to read. Author, don’t take this as me telling you to shorten your paragraphs, that’s not why I’m saying this. Go write however your heart desires! I’m just here to give people a heads up, it doesn’t affect the story at all!
I saw in the ao3 comments that this is the author’s second language, and lemme tell you, for someone who’s writing in their second language, this fic is written very well! English is my second language, too. This style of writing is quite hard to achieve when you’re not using your first language, so more kudos to the author! English is a b*tch to learn XD.
The dialogue is good too! The first chapter’s dialogue stands out to me because you get a glimpse of Morpheus and Reader's history. It’s obvious they care for each other, but are holding back, yk?
My heart melted at the thought that the Reader stayed with him in that basement. Especially when both of them know nothing can be done to get him out because Reader would get hurt in the process. Anyway, I’ll wrap this up so the review isn’t too long. But overall, the plot is very interesting as I’ve said before, and the story gets better and better as the chapter progresses. Go check out Assorodus!

Aight I’m doing it, gonna explore some of my VERY OLD writing, the first “books” I ever wrote. Gonna use the tag ‘my old writing’ for this if ya wanna block it, but anyway it is time for me to reminisce >:) I’ll probably devote a post to each book I decide to post pics of, and I’ll likely do a format where the cover page will be in the main post, and the rest under a read more. Now without further ado…
ah yes. The label on the shoe box I kept all these in. Love how I wrote this as if it would actually stop anyone from opening it
(it has my full name on there so I of course blotted that out lol)
Ahh gotta love that old school Microsoft Office clipart. Anyway it is time to open the box and select my first victim
OH I forgot I also used this much later on to store letters that were written to me in basic training (gently moves those aside)
…I’ve made a fatal error, this box doesn’t have my most ancient stories, it has ones from slightly later on in my childhood. NOO where is my Charmander and Torchic story!! Ah well I may have to delay this adventure until I rescue the early stories from my storage unit, but for now. This will do.
Once upon a time (probably before 2008 but idk when exactly) my older brother made the fatal mistake of revealing to me that people will actually go on the Internet and just post weird lil stories :O Like they’ll just write something funny. And post it. And other people can read it. Wow!
Naturally, I wanted to try it, and came up with a really ridiculous idea about giant weiner (or wiener, I kept changing the spelling) dogs that ended up morphing into a multi-story saga where it turned out the giant dogs are actually ALIENS and Earth ends up destroyed, also it features me and my older brother as self-inserts which he thought was GREAT. The best thing? None of this actually made it onto the Internet but I sure did print out the whole dang story, make a cover, and then tie it all together with nice gold thread. More under the cut
I just wanted to post the full first page so y’all can get an idea of the ridiculousness of my early writing. I was probably like. Actually I don’t think I was even 10 yet. Or maybe I was? Ehh about 10, maybe a little older but I’m relatively sure I wasn’t a teen yet. My brother helped contribute parts of this (like the strange, funky business part) but most of this was written by me.
As you can see the gross out humor is in full effect. Of course. As I was a young child who watched Nickelodeon. Moving on
A small excerpt I just happened to enjoy. “Let’s go drink the sacred toilet water!!” is quality dialogue let’s be real here. From here on out I’m just gonna share my titles from each story
This is the start of the second story in the series, and it heralds a running thing with me criticizing people if they happen to skip stories and read out of sequence
“if you had even bothered” TWEEN ME WITH THE SNARK
Yeah said picture of Kibblion is actually what was on the cover page. Made in MS Paint, to everyone’s shock I’m sure
I don’t care what anyone says, I was funny back then. My older brother said so which means it’s true
How much do you wanna bet this one wasn’t actually the last story? Don’t bet anything, it actually was, whoa :O I had a thing back then where I liked doing Animal House style epilogues so-
I promise there was context to all this. My self insert (Kari, of course) and the guy from the start, Joe, got to go to Kibblion and we inexplicably turned into alien weiner dogs ourselves. I think I handwaved this as “radiation”
My brother (Chris) got to be the villain who also survived Earth’s destruction and he had psychic powers just because.
the weiner dogs have a thing in their society about not eating animals unless they’re dangerous ones, hence them pulling bullshit like “oh this animal is tasty but not a threat? Oh- we’ll make it dangerous then :)”
Other names are just other random characters, mostly weiner dogs. but uhh yeah. There you go
the random shit I wrote back then. I promise I’ll dig out the truly old stuff but ohh my god looking back at this series was so funny. Maybe I could transcribe it all and post it to AO3. I already did that with some other old stories of mine which can be found here so. HmMM >:)
well lemme know what you think and I hope you enjoyed this ridiculous nostalgia trip

dr:t pride headcanons, written edition
so i’ve recently received some asks about whether or not i headcanon any of the characters from dr:togami as lgbtq+ or not and, as a very queer person, you know i do!
since i’ve been struggling to put out art recently, i figured that i’d take the time to write down my pride headcanons in honour of pride month! i want to apologise for not being in the proper headspace to post even though i promised i would, i hope this gets my thoughts across in some form!
(if i neglect to mention anyone just assume that they’re either straight or unlabeled!)
and if i word this post firmly, please remember that these are my opinions and you’re well within your right to disagree so long as you’re respectful.
spoilers? maybe. gay people below the cut!
so let’s start it off with our volume 1 cast!-
byakuya: gay & gender-fluid. now, i feel very strongly that during the events of the novels he was still far far into that closet, but believe me it’s there. remember when he had to dress up as that nun? and how he was vibing in that convent, a place that celeste mentions doesn’t allow men? he was very trans in that chapter. and let’s not even mention polaris p. polanski. this kid is so transgender it makes my eyes hurt.
shinobu: lesbian. she’s a lesbian. this is partly due to projection and partly due to the way that she describes female characters, but i’m not gonna tether my opinions to canon so i’ll leave it at that. i feel like she’s actually a little bit of a hopeless romantic.
satomi aoba: lesbian. i promise they’re not all lesbians, it’s just that i’m a lesbian and i love satomi. but also it’s the way that she interacts with the mole in volume 1, as if she’s moved past having patience for men. and that’s very lesbian of her.
hiroyuki: pansexual trans man. now these are purely headcanon, but i characterise hiroyuki as not giving a damn about gender in the slightest. if he likes you, he likes you. and i don’t remember when exactly i decided to make him a trans man but i get the feeling that it’s because he’s a twin. i get that they aren’t identical but i saw the opportunity and took it, what can i say. like shinobu, i’d like to think he craves love and romance but he tends to mask his emotions with humour so you’d have to be able to read him to know that. good lad, in all.
yuika: pansexual. they’re twins! they match! kidding, there’s more to it. now, at some point i decided that yuika would also go for personality other than gender, since she values someone who unflinchingly cares about her, especially since her fleshed out backstory in my rewrite reveals that her peers didn’t exactly treat her well. but that’s for another time.
taeko: lesbian. last one, i swear! i’d argue that taeko & yuika are slightly girlfriend-coded in the novels, but that’s beside the point. the second i read taeko’s dialogue and scenes i got hit with a strong femme-lesbian vibe. she really values femininity, she kicks ass and she’s the hyper to yuika’s calm
andou (A54) naoki: bisexual. honorable mention! he plays a bigger role in my ver. which is why he’s here. i can’t exactly put this one into words without explaining his entire character and, my god, i want this post to be brief. so just trust me on this one. once i actually post about him hopefully you’ll get it.
and now for the dead siblings!-
now, i’m aware of just how strict this family is, but as you all know (hopefully) you’re gay regardless of your situation, and like, mathematically there’s no way that every single one of them is straight.
ichirou: bisexual. again, this one mostly fits my characterisation of him, which i’ll elaborate on later! for now all i’ll say is that he’d be kind of nonchalant about it? like ‘oh you know, uneventful work day, saved a life, repaired an artery, kissed a man, et cetera.’ and he’s not stupid, at all, nor is he uncaring, it’s just that it’s such a natural part of him that he doesn’t question it at all.
saburou: asexual. this only relates to my interpretation of him, which is very different from canon! he’s the type of kid to make the most out of left field, egregious sex joke imaginable only to be the most asexual person you ever did meet.
takaya: aroace. now, if he had gotten to live longer and work his shit out he’d realise that is the definition of aroace. he, for his whole life, simply had no interest. a common experience for aromantic people (coming from an aro person!) is the classic ‘pick someone to have a crush on’ experience but in all honesty, i dont think he even did that. he simply didn’t care in the slightest and wasn’t afraid to let people know it.
#i developed these hcs from talking to buddies in dms btw!!#i cant Not make my stories gay its a compulsion#again be respectful! i have a block button and im not afraid to use it#headcanons#headcanon#dr:t#danganronpa#danganronpa togami#shinobu togami#byakuya togami#togami siblings

Okay i got obsessed again with star wars here for a minute, legit started working on tthat one fic again because my vpn was making the episode charge dreadfully slow but now i turned it off and BUCK WHAT ARE YOU DOING I MEAN YEAH I MEAN WHAT THE HELL IS EDDIE DOING THERE I MEAN GO IT FOR KING I MEAN NO YOU DON’T DESERVE IT AFTER THAT CATCH YOU LATER BUCK that was bitchy as fuck wow they’re both jealous and it’s incredible
(Much later: well this has turned into a whole ass shoke full of spoilers reaction post didn’t it)
That’s insane dialogue, what do you mean “jumping ship” and “keeping options fluids”, mhm, boys? Like on a surface level Eddie’s asking if Buck is thinking about a new career option, and the metaphor makes it not even sound that deep, but you know they have some history with the concept of leaving the 118 and it either did not go down at all or didn’t go well. So Buck’s answer is like, probably not the best one to hear if you’re Eddie Diaz, but it’s banter in front of a thir party so even if he’s thinking about that he has to let it fly. Then if you put your buddie goggles on, it can be him asking, are you interested in that guy?
HE’S TAKING UR MAN TO VEGAS of all places
*
That’s not Harry. Aintnoway he went through his whole ass puberty in less than a year!
Look, Bobby can spot the impostor too.
*
Ravi!
OH THIS IS SO HAPPENING
Hey girlies how does it feel to be so right and never lose? Ngl feels so good to me.
He’s so revolted this was the perfect moment to pause at
Oh god the next frame tho.
The rope going down the pipe exept they’re both on top now
Eddie now you’re doing it on purpose. Buck just said “you never have enough friends” and you just… piled on top of it. Like. I get you, i really get you. All’s fair. But that’s Buck and you know he has abandonment issues, man.
OH NO
oH NO
oh Nooo
Oh you didn’t didn’t edmundo diaz
WHY ARE YOU BEING SO MEAN TO HIM LOOK AT HIS FACE
Oh god i stopped to type and didn’t hear the dialogue yet this is insane Eddie you babby trapped him and he was your second choice and it’s your third date with Tommy already. *cough*whore*cough*/affectionate
No fr real Eddie Diaz pettiest bitch in Los Angeles. He’s gonna make Buck come to his senses the haaaaaard way.
Insane shit.
You bet he’s bothered and bewildered.
*
BITCHING TO HIS SISTER he’s so precious (Eddie it’s working)
Revenge of the Sith is the best Star Wars tho Buck, I’m in Tommy and Chris’s camp on this. Guess you’ll have to be the babysitter from now on.
“I didn’t have to (in the bitchiest tone Oliver Stark has ever used). Eddie, on his fridge (!) has a day calendar, under a take out menu: Thursday: BBPU, Double-U, back slash(okay you insane man), Tommy. And it’s circled.”
I’m dying and it’s from pure glee.
“Is it circled with a heart around it?”
*
“We have a problem.”
Yeah, that kid’s not Harry!
Lmao he’s on the run from the cops!
Yeah she can’t recognise her son because that’s not Harry!
Why is the show encouraging me???
Okay, that’s Harry, fine.
*
Oh now who’s inside looking in, looking through the glass closet locker room no less
Wait, isn’t that what leads to those stills i’ve seen of that convo? Are they gonna have a serious talk?
I need all the gifs from that episode.
Making sure he’s in line of sight, uh.
You’re not the one he wants Ravi, sorry.
IS HE FOR REAL
asdfghjkl evan buckley you got it bad
Eddie stop it, you’re not looking but I’m going to have to look at Buck’s face next frame
Bros when no hoes i guess
*
Okay that faceblindness case is genuinely awful
*
Lmao are Eddie and Tommy gonna be there?
Oh yeah, here they are
This is about to get bloody
“So I’m your basketball beard. I feel so bonded.” pffFf
Oh this is both hot and kind of embar at the same time
So, what do you thought of that chest Buck, did it give you insecurities
Ooooouch
You knkw what Eddie, you kind of deserved it FOR ONCE you shouldn’t play with the feelings of a guy that huge
Oh this isn’t good and I’m not talking about Eddie’s foot here
*
“So how’s he feeling?”
“I don’t know.”
That’s what i though you were going to say.
“I felt left out. I was trying to get his attention.” 😭
You know, he’s so valid for that, because Eddie’s attention on him is just… it’s always there, you know? And seeing it being, well, not there, it’s reall day and night. It feels unnatural, which is why i can’t think it’s genuine (but off brand haha). Whether it’s fully intentional on Eddie’s part or not.

Scripts - S7 - Episode 19 (Part 1 of 2)
Doing something a little different today because the dialogue on the daybeds is sorted weird. I've got the standard dialogue here, but the Daybeds & Breakfast scenes have been split by LI. Give me a bit of time and i'll post the routes individually. Thank you @longbobmckenzie as always for pulling them out!
NARRATOR: Welcome back to Love Island!
NARRATOR: {0} just received some beautiful flowers from one of her admirers!
NARRATOR: But which admirer? And what will their night hold?
NARRATOR: Let’s find out right now!
You and the girls have gathered in the dressing room to get ready for bed.
UMA_HAPPY: {0}, you can’t leave us hanging any longer!
SUMMER_FLIRTY: We need to know, right this second.
DAPHNE_FLIRTY: We need to know, right this second.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: What do you mean?
UMA_HAPPY: About the beautiful surprise flowers that were left on your bed?
UMA_HAPPY: Who were they from?!
{0}_IDLE: Yeah, I think we’re all interested to know.
Vicky and Bonnie both look equally suspicious.
BONNIE_HAPPY: It was so adorable.
VICKY_HAPPY: A classy move.
PLAYER_HAPPY: I have a feeling it was {0}.
VICKY_EMBARRASSED: Guilty! It was me.
VICKY_HAPPY: Thought you deserved a nice surprise.
VICKY_HAPPY: Picked them myself!
PLAYER_HAPPY: Aww, thanks Vicky!
Vicky leans in and whispers to you.
VICKY_FLIRTY: I thought we could have a night under the stars?
VICKY_HAPPY: We can head out to the daybeds together later?
PLAYER_HAPPY: Sounds romantic!
BONNIE_EMBARRASSED: Guilty! It was me.
BONNIE_HAPPY: Thought you deserved a nice surprise.
BONNIE_HAPPY: Picked them myself!
PLAYER_HAPPY: Aww, thanks Bonnie!
Bonnie leans in and whispers to you.
BONNIE_FLIRTY: I thought we could have a night under the stars?
BONNIE_HAPPY: We can head out to the daybeds together later?
PLAYER_HAPPY: Sounds romantic!
UMA_HAPPY: I knew it was {0}!
PLAYER_SURPRISED: How?!
UMA_FLIRTY: May have seen him snooping around in the garden earlier…
UMA_HAPPY: Heard him talking about a romantic night under the stars too.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Like on the daybeds?
UMA_HAPPY: That would be my guess! I know where I’d be going.
UMA_FLIRTY: Sounds like you two are gonna have fun tonight!
PLAYER_HAPPY: Yeah, I guess it does.
{0} doesn’t look very happy with you.
{0}_ANGRY: Great, so you’re stealing my man away, again?
Be apologetic
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Sorry, {0} I know it sucks for you.
PLAYER_IDLE: I can’t stop him from giving me flowers!
PLAYER_IDLE: There’s still a connection between us.
{0}_SERIOUS: Yeah, whatever. I don’t love the situation.
{0}_SERIOUS: But at least you’re not gloating about it.
Get sassy
PLAYER_HAPPY: That’s weird.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: I didn’t realise {0} was a <i>thing</i> that I could steal.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Kind of possessive of you, {0}.
{0}_EMBARRASSED: Well that’s obviously not what I meant.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Besides, it’s not stealing when he comes willingly.
UMA_IDLE: Ouch.
{0} shoots you some serious side eye.
Brush her off
PLAYER_IDLE: Yeah we’re spending the night together.
PLAYER_IDLE: I really don’t see the big deal?
{0}_SERIOUS: We were together first.
PLAYER_IDLE: It is what it is.
{0} pouts at you.
Vicky catches your eye with a flirty wink and smile!
VICKY_FLIRTY: I don’t think anyone needs to be told how much I’m looking forward to it.
BONNIE_SAD: You could consider how other people feel about it…
VICKY_IDLE: I’m not good at pretending, sorry!
Bonnie catches your eye and gives you a shy smile.
BONNIE_HAPPY: It’s going to be a special evening for sure.
VICKY_EMBARRASSED: Have fun, I guess.
UMA_HAPPY: Well, sounds like you’ve got a big night ahead of you!
UMA_HAPPY: Are you excited to spend it with {0}?
Cannot wait
PLAYER_FLIRTY: I literally cannot wait.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: I want to make it a night to remember.
{0} scoffs.
{0}_SAD: You don’t have to rub it in.
Vicky bites her lip as she looks over to you.
VICKY_FLIRTY: Going to be a night to remember.
Bonnie struggles to hide an envious look.
BONNIE_FLIRTY: It’s going to be a night to remember.
Vicky struggles to hide an envious look.
UMA_FLIRTY: Sounds like you might not be getting much sleep!
UMA_FLIRTY: Get it, girl!
Keeping my expectations in check
PLAYER_IDLE: I’m keeping my expectations in check.
PLAYER_IDLE: We’ll see where the night takes us both.
UMA_IDLE: You should just enjoy it.
{0}_IDLE: Guess you’ll need to get ready then, {1}.
UMA_FLIRTY: For sure. We’ll help you pick out some sexy pjs!
PLAYER_HAPPY: Let me take a look!
VICKY_FLIRTY: {0}, you are slaying in that!
UMA_FLIRTY: You’re giving me outfit inspo!
BONNIE_FLIRTY: {0}, you look amazing!
PLAYER_FLIRTY: I feel good!
PLAYER_IDLE: I’m ready for bed.
UMA_SURPRISED: Are you sure?
UMA_IDLE: I think there might be some more options for you to check out.
Uma leans in and whispers in your ear.
UMA_HAPPY: It’s a big night for you and {0} after all.
I’ll have another look
VICKY_FLIRTY: {0}, you are slaying in that!
UMA_FLIRTY: You’re giving me outfit inspo!
BONNIE_FLIRTY: {0} you look amazing!
PLAYER_FLIRTY: I feel good!
PLAYER_IDLE: I’m good wearing this.
UMA_HAPPY: Ok, you do you!
UMA_HAPPY: Let’s go!
I’m all good
PLAYER_IDLE: I’m good wearing this.
UMA_HAPPY: Ok, you do you!
UMA_HAPPY: Let’s go!
PLAYER_HAPPY: Have a good night, girls!
PLAYER_HAPPY: You coming, {0}? The daybeds are calling.
{0}_FLIRTY: Right behind you.
PLAYER_IDLE: I’ll see you girls in a bit.
UMA_HAPPY: Have fun!
OG Boy Route
Bonnie Route
Vicky Route
Travis Route
Evan Route
As you both finish your breakfast, you hear a familiar sound.
A phone pings.
{0}_SURPRISED: Was that your phone?
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Yes. I’ve got a text!
Everyone rushes out to the daybeds.
{0} clocks you and {1} snuggled on the daybeds.
{0}_SURPRISED: Morning everyone!
{0}_ANGRY: Looks like these two lovebirds had a nice evening.
Bonnie and Vicky overhear and glance over to see what’s going on.
They also seem a bit gutted to see you and {0} together.
Travis overhears and glances over to see what’s going on.
He also seems a bit gutted to see you and {0} together.
Vicky and {0} clock you and Bonnie snuggled on the daybeds.
They seem a bit gutted to see you two together.
BONNIE_EMBARRASSED: Good morning…
Bonnie and {0} clock you and Vicky snuggled on the daybeds.
They seem a bit gutted to see you two together.
VICKY_SURPRISED: Morning everyone!
{0} clocks you and Travis snuggled on the daybeds. He looks pretty gutted.
TRAVIS_IDLE: Morning guys!
{0} and Travis clock you and Evan snuggled on the daybeds. He looks pretty gutted.
EVAN_HAPPY: Beautiful morning right?
UMA_SURPRISED: Enough of the dramatic staring. We wanna hear the text!
You read it out for everyone.
LITEXT: Islanders, it’s time to play Snog, Marry, Pie! {0}ChoicesChoices {1}PiebackTime
Bring it on!
PLAYER_HAPPY: I say bring on the snogs, marriages and pies!
{0}_SURPRISED: Wow, surprised you’re so confident.
PLAYER_HAPPY: You shouldn’t be. I’m ready for this one!
{0}_HAPPY: Let’s get to the challenge stage.
UMA_HAPPY: Pies! Pies! Pies!
I’m not ready for this
PLAYER_IDLE: Oh dear, I’m not sure I’m ready for these decisions.
{0}_SURPRISED: I don’t think you are…
{0}_SURPRISED: We’re going to have to find out sooner or later.
UMA_HAPPY: Let’s get to the challenge stage then.
I’m sure no one will pie me
PLAYER_HAPPY: I’m not worried, don’t see why anyone would want to pie me.
{0}_HAPPY: Who would?!
{0}_SURPRISED: That’s some seriously misplaced confidence, {1}.
PLAYER_HAPPY: I guess we’ll have to see.
I know who I’m pieing
PLAYER_FLIRTY: I already know who’s getting pied.
{0}_SURPRISED: Who?!
PLAYER_FLIRTY: You’ll have to wait and see.
UMA_FLIRTY: Pies! Pies! Pies!
UMA_HAPPY: I hope you all are ready for this. I know I am.
{0}_FLIRTY: I’ve already got someone in mind for pieing.
ALEX_SURPRISED: It’s about to get real.
JOYO_HAPPY: Yep. Things are about to get messy.
BRYSON_HAPPY: Yeah they are!
RAFAEL_HAPPY: Bring it on!
VICKY_HAPPY: It’s nice going in knowing no one would want to pie you!
BONNIE_SURPRISED: I hope the pies are vegan.
TRAVIS_HAPPY: Yes, lads! Let’s do this!
SUMMER_EMBARRASSED: Oh my days. My hair does not react well to cream!
DAPHNE_EMBARRASSED: Oh my days. My hair doesn’t react well to cream.
{0}_HAPPY: Let’s get going!
You all rush to the dressing room to quickly get changed before you make your way to the challenge stage.
You join the others on the challenge stage where everyone looks raring to go.
Your phone buzzes in your hand.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: I’ve got a text!
UMA_SURPRISED: Read it out, {0}.
LITEXT: Islanders, you must now take it in turns to decide who you want to snog, marry, and pie. {0}MarriageMaterial {1}ToPieOrNotToPie
PLAYER_HAPPY: So who’s going first?
Uma steps up for her go.
UMA_FLIRTY: I’ve been waiting for this chance. I’ll go first!
UMA_FLIRTY: I’m going to snog…
Uma looks around, before shooting {0} a mischievous look.
Before finally, locking eyes with Travis.
Uma strides over to Travis and snogs him.
TRAVIS_HAPPY: That was a surprise!
She looks {0} right in the eye before moving on.
{0}_SERIOUS: I see how it is.
UMA_FLIRTY: And then I’m going to marry…
Uma looks at you with a warm smile.
UMA_HAPPY: {0}, for being such a good friend!
Uma comes over and throws her arms around your neck.
Hug her back
PLAYER_HAPPY: Awww, you’re cute, Uma.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Happy wedding day to us!
You give her a big squeeze back.
UMA_HAPPY: This was a good decision.
Call her out for snogging Travis
PLAYER_SERIOUS: What was up with you snogging Travis?
UMA_IDLE: It’s just a game, I can pick who I want.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: It was a bit harsh on {0}.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: Also, me and Travis literally just spent the night together.
Uma shrugs.
UMA_HAPPY: It’s just a bit of fun! Doesn’t mean anything.
Dodge the hug
You dodge away from her to avoid the hug.
UMA_SERIOUS: Ok, ouch!
PLAYER_IDLE: I don’t think I’m ready for marriage just yet.
UMA_SERIOUS: It’s only hypothetical, but suit yourself.
Uma steps back.
UMA_FLIRTY: And for the pie. There’s really only one choice.
Uma picks up one of the pies from the table, and strides towards {0}.
She shoves the pie right in his face to a collective gasp from everyone else.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: You really got him there, Uma.
UMA_FLIRTY: That’s for the snaky antics I found out about on Movie Night.
{0}_EMBARRASSED: That’s a bit harsh…
UMA_HAPPY: It’s just a pie! You’ll get over it.
BONNIE_HAPPY: Settle down you two, there’s still some pies left in the oven.
BONNIE_HAPPY: It’s my time to shine.
She looks round at everyone, studying their faces.
BONNIE_FLIRTY: I’m gonna snog… Vicky.
She runs over to Vicky and the two share a brief snog.
VICKY_FLIRTY: Could’ve seen that one coming.
PLAYER_SURPRISED: Things really do move fast in the villa.
BONNIE_FLIRTY: Don’t worry, {0}. I’ve got something special planned for you.
BONNIE_HAPPY: As for marriage, there’s only one choice for me.
Bonnie looks right at you.
BONNIE_HAPPY: Copying Uma but I don’t care.
BONNIE_HAPPY: You are marriage material, {0}, and such a good friend.
She drops down on one knee and gives you a big smile.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Two weddings in one day.
BONNIE_FLIRTY: Uma was right, you are marriage material, {0}.
She drops to one knee and peers into your eyes longingly with a gentle smile.
Vicky side eyes Bonnie.
BONNIE_FLIRTY: There’s no one I’d rather get down on one knee for.
Our wedding night would be fun
PLAYER_FLIRTY: I’m definitely looking forward to our wedding night, Bonnie.
VICKY_SURPRISED: Wow, ok then.
BONNIE_FLIRTY: Not the exchanging of our sacred vows, then?
PLAYER_FLIRTY: That too.
BONNIE_FLIRTY: Just kidding, our wedding night would be pure fireworks.
You’d absolutely get jilted by me
PLAYER_SERIOUS: I’d probably jilt you on the wedding day. No offence.
BONNIE_EMBARRASSED: Message received I guess.
This is all a bit fast
PLAYER_IDLE: Wow, this is all happening so fast.
PLAYER_IDLE: I’m not sure if I’m ready.
BONNIE_FLIRTY: It’s just a bit of fun, don't worry.
Bonnie picks up the pie with a grin and looks around the remaining Islanders.
BONNIE_SERIOUS: And no prizes for guessing who I’m gonna pie.
Bonnie flings her pie into {0}’s unsuspecting face.
{0}_EMBARRASSED: Wait? What <i>was</i> that for?
BONNIE_HAPPY: Movie Night, obviously. Saying Uma was hotter than me!
{0} wipes some of the pie off his face and slowly nods.
{0}_EMBARRASSED: Oh yeah. Guess I deserved that one to be fair.
Bonnie looks triumphant as all the others burst out laughing.
Summer is up on the stage before Bonnie has even got back in line.
SUMMER_FLIRTY: It’s me now!
PLAYER_HAPPY: Who are you going to pick, Summer?
SUMMER_FLIRTY: Well for a snog…
Everyone looks to Joyo as Summer struts towards him.
JOYO_FLIRTY: Hello, gorgeous.
At the last second Summer swivels on her heels and leans in to Travis, giving him a short but enticing snog.
TRAVIS_EMBARRASSED: Seems it’s my lucky day.
SUMMER_FLIRTY: Would be rude not to.
Summer winks at Joyo.
SUMMER_FLIRTY: It’s just for the lols everyone, don’t worry.
TRAVIS_FLIRTY: I’m happy to get kissed for a laugh anytime.
Kick off
PLAYER_ANGRY: Erm, did you forget he’s coupled up with me?
SUMMER_FLIRTY: Just a bit of fun, {0}.
TRAVIS_EMBARRASSED: Yeah, doesn’t mean anything. Just a laugh.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: Hmmm.
Laugh it off
PLAYER_HAPPY: Good work, guys.
JOYO_SERIOUS: Hmm.
SUMMER_FLIRTY: Don’t worry babes, because I’m marrying you.
She runs over to Joyo and jumps up on him. He catches her and spins her round.
JOYO_FLIRTY: I suppose it’s all good.
PLAYER_HAPPY: What about the pie?
Summer looks straight at you with a mischievous look in her eye.
PLAYER_IDLE: What’s that look for?
Summer barrels over to you and presses the pie into your face.
SUMMER_HAPPY: For all the drama in Casa Amor.
SUMMER_HAPPY: Sorry, not sorry.
Take it on the chin
PLAYER_HAPPY: I guess I did deserve that one.
SUMMER_HAPPY: I’m glad you can be accepting.
You taste some of the pie.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Mmm, it’s actually really good!
Throw a strop
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Not cool, Summer.
You cross your arms and pout.
SUMMER_HAPPY: Oh come on, {0}. It’s just a game.
SUMMER_HAPPY: And I needed to get my own back for all the drama.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: What drama?!
SUMMER_HAPPY: I dunno.
Wipe some pie on her
PLAYER_HAPPY: Summer, your face looks a bit clean right now.
SUMMER_SURPRISED: Oh no!
You fling some of the excess pie at Summer who fails to dodge it.
You both lean on each other laughing.
SUMMER_HAPPY: Right, your turn, Joyo!
Joyo gets up to the stage with a cocky grin.
JOYO_FLIRTY: For the snog, I have to go with Summer.
Joyo leans into Summer and the two share a long, intimate snog.
BONNIE_IDLE: Alright, we get the idea you two.
They reluctantly pull away.
JOYO_FLIRTY: And for my marry... I’m gonna say Summer again.
He drops down to one knee as Summer blushes.
SUMMER_FLIRTY: Aww. So cute, I almost feel bad now.
JOYO_FLIRTY: And for my pie...
Joyo picks up a pie with a cheeky glint in his eye.
JOYO_FLIRTY: Remember when you almost got your head turned by Travis, Summer?
Summer shakes her head.
SUMMER_EMBARRASSED: Nope. You must be getting me mixed up with someone else.
JOYO_HAPPY: Well, I haven’t forgotten unfortunately.
He gently presses the pie into Summer’s face as she squirms.
SUMMER_SURPRISED: Seriously, Joyo!
JOYO_HAPPY: No regrets.
Summer starts laughing and kisses Joyo.
DAPHNE_FLIRTY: My turn.
Daphne waltzes up to the stage to take her turn.
Before anyone has a chance to react, she walks straight up to Evan and snogs him.
EVAN_HAPPY: Out of nowhere. Wow.
DAPHNE_HAPPY: That’s for always cooking little bits for us in the kitchen.
DAPHNE_HAPPY: And for not being bad on the eye either.
Kick off
PLAYER_ANGRY: Erm, did you forget about us just sharing the daybeds last night?
DAPHNE_FLIRTY: Just a bit of fun, {0}.
EVAN_EMBARRASSED: Yeah, doesn’t mean anything. Just a laugh.
PLAYER_SERIOUS: Hmm.
Laugh it off
PLAYER_HAPPY: Good work, guys.
UMA_HAPPY: Who are you marrying, Daph?
DAPHNE_HAPPY: Well, hopefully this is a little less of a shock to you all.
Daphne bounces over to Rafael where she drops to one knee and presents him with the prop ring.
DAPHNE_FLIRTY: This is for being a total gent and spooning me to sleep every night.
RAFAEL_HAPPY: I do!
Daphne stands and gives Rafael a peck on the lips.
{0}_HAPPY: Aww, you two are sweet.
DAPHNE_FLIRTY: Now for my pie.
Without breaking eye contact, Daphne grabs a pie and shoves it right in Uma’s face.
UMA_ANGRY: Daphne?! Why?
DAPHNE_IDLE: For saying you fancied Raf!
DAPHNE_FLIRTY: And that’ll be all.
UMA_HAPPY: Urgh, fine!
Daphne falls back in line as Uma wipes the pie out from her eyes.
PLAYER_HAPPY: She’s defo straight to the point.
{0}_FLIRTY: My turn.
{0} catches your eye as she makes her way to the stage.
The vibe is suddenly very tense as everyone glances between you and {0}.
{0}_FLIRTY: Let’s get this show on the road, shall we?
PLAYER_SERIOUS: I guess so.
{0}_FLIRTY: For my snog...
{0} struts over to {1} and pulls him in for a passionate snog.
{0} turns it into a peck, {1} clearly wanted more.
She turns with her hands still running through his hair and looks you straight in the eye.
When she’s finished, {0} looks at you with a red face.
{0}_FLIRTY: That’s for being the hottest, funniest guy here.
{0}_HAPPY: Debatable, but we move on.
{0}_FLIRTY: And I think I’ll be marrying…
{0}_FLIRTY: {1} too.
Don’t react
You make sure to give {0} no reaction as she drops down to one knee in front of {1}.
Dig her out
PLAYER_ANGRY: That’s an embarrassing move for you, {0}.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Especially considering where he slept last night…
{0} looks away sheepishly as {1} fumes.
PLAYER_IDLE: Why don’t we move on?
{0}_ANGRY: Grow up, {1}.
Flirt with {0}
You look straight past {0} and bite your lip at {1}.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: I hope you rethink that proposal, {0}.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Because we still have unfinished business together.
{0} rolls her eyes.
PLAYER_EMBARRASSED: Oh, sorry, {0}. I shouldn’t have interrupted like that.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: I just can’t stop thinking about last night with {0}…
{0}_FLIRTY: It was fun.
{0}_ANGRY: Can you please not, {1}?
{0}_SERIOUS: That leads me on very nicely to the pieing.
{0} storms over to the pies, and looks over them all with a careful eye.
{0}_SERIOUS: Just trying to find the biggest one.
She struts over to you, pie in hand.
Face the music
PLAYER_HAPPY: Bring it on, {0}. I can take it.
You boldly look her in the eye as she brings the pie into your face.
{0}_IDLE: That was satisfying.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Enjoy it while you can.
{0}_FLIRTY: I will.
Dodge out of the way
You skillfully duck under the incoming pie which falls out of {0}’s hands and lands on the floor.
{0}_ANGRY: Um, that’s not how you play the game.
PLAYER_IDLE: Well, it’s how I play the game.
{0}_SERIOUS: Sore loser, whatever.
{0}_IDLE: Right, I think it’s time for the next person.
Vicky takes a confident step forward.
VICKY_FLIRTY: I’ve been waiting for my moment.
VICKY_FLIRTY: For my snog... I’m gonna go for a little bit of bombshell solidarity.
VICKY_FLIRTY: So, I’m snogging Travis.
TRAVIS_FLIRTY: I’m not complaining.
They share a friendly peck.
VICKY_FLIRTY: I’m gonna marry someone super special.
Vicky turns towards you and drops to one knee.
Bonnie glances at Vicky, a sense of disappointment on her face.
PLAYER_HAPPY: Another marriage?
VICKY_FLIRTY: How could I not ask for your hand in marriage?
VICKY_FLIRTY: You’re obvs a ten out of ten to look at and…
VICKY_HAPPY: You’re a ten out of ten to spend time with. You’re a total gem, {0}.
I do!
PLAYER_HAPPY: It’s a yes from me. Let’s tie the knot already.
VICKY_HAPPY: I’ll get the dresses, you find the chapel.
BONNIE_SAD: I guess last night didn’t mean that much.
PLAYER_IDLE: We’re just joking around, Bonnie.
Platonic pat on the back
You give Vicky a friendly pat on the back.
PLAYER_HAPPY: You’re sweet for choosing me.
VICKY_FLIRTY: I don’t normally get down on one knee after knowing someone for a few days.
VICKY_FLIRTY: You should be honoured.
PLAYER_HAPPY: I’m very honoured. Thank you.
VICKY_HAPPY: You’ve been a great friend to me so far.
VICKY_HAPPY: Just wanted you to know I appreciated it.
I’m not the marriage type
PLAYER_IDLE: I’m not really the marriage type. Sorry.
VICKY_EMBARRASSED: At least I didn’t buy this ring.
Vicky giggles as she gets back to her feet.
VICKY_IDLE: And now for my pie.
She looks around everyone suspiciously.
VICKY_FLIRTY: Who deserves the pie?
Evan jokingly points to Travis.
EVAN_HAPPY: Defo has to be Travis, right? Who else?
TRAVIS_HAPPY: I haven’t done anything. Why me?
Vicky takes a step towards the two boys, pie in hand.
VICKY_HAPPY: And just for saying that, Evan, it’s pie time.
Vicky thrusts the pie in Evan’s face before giving Travis a high five.
VICKY_HAPPY: As I said earlier, bombshell solidarity.
EVAN_HAPPY: Alright, alright. I’ll take it.
As Vicky steps back down, {0} steps up, ready for his turn.
{0}_FLIRTY: Alright, enough playing. It’s my turn.
{0}_FLIRTY: Who to snog?
{0} eyes {1} with a flirty stare.
{0}_FLIRTY: I’m gonna snog this person because… Well, why not?
{0} strides towards Bonnie.
He leans in for a short but sweet snog.
He leans in for a quick peck.
BONNIE_HAPPY: Why not indeed!
{0}_SURPRISED: Saving me for your marriage option. Sweet, I guess.
UMA_SURPRISED: You and Bon look cute together, sorry not sorry.
{0}_FLIRTY: Well, now for marriage.
{0}_FLIRTY: No guessing needed here.
{0} walks past {1} and lowers himself down to one knee in front of you.
{0}_FLIRTY: It’s gotta be {1}.
{0}_FLIRTY: For keeping us on our toes. Keeping us entertained.
{0}_ANGRY: Are you kidding me?
{0}_FLIRTY: And because every time we speak…
{0}_FLIRTY: It feels both brand new and somehow like we’ve known each other for years.
{0}_EMBARRASSED: At the same time… If that makes sense?
{0}_SERIOUS: Doesn’t make sense.
{0}_HAPPY: You get the point. I’m marrying {1}!
Over the top acceptance
PLAYER_HAPPY: Oh my days, {0}! I’ve been waiting my whole life for this.
PLAYER_HAPPY: It’s a dream come true.
Everyone giggles, except for {0} who rolls her eyes at you both.
{0}_HAPPY: I was worried you’d say no.
PLAYER_HAPPY: No chance. This is everything I ever wanted.
Play it cool
PLAYER_IDLE: Cheers, {0}.
You lean down towards him and whisper in his ear.
PLAYER_HAPPY: You can get up now by the way.
{0}_IDLE: Yep, on my way up, don’t worry.
Tease {0}
PLAYER_FLIRTY: Guess you’re not being a bride today, {0}.
PLAYER_HAPPY: I’ll let you be a bridesmaid instead if you really want?
{0}_SERIOUS: Get over yourself, it’s not even that deep.
PLAYER_FLIRTY: No wedding cake for you.
{0} scoffs and turns away from you.
Act uninterested
PLAYER_IDLE: And who are you gonna pie?
{0}_IDLE: Yeah, let’s move this along.
{0} gets back to his feet and picks up a pie.
{0}_IDLE: This pie is a bit of a jokey one, so no hard feelings.
{0}_SERIOUS: Don’t you dare. I actually won’t laugh.
{0}_IDLE: Don’t worry, {1}. You can relax.
{0} flings his pie straight into Travis’ face.
TRAVIS_SURPRISED: What was that for?
{0}_HAPPY: For stealing my new fiancée at the last recoupling.
{0}_HAPPY: Let’s just say you’ve made moves on someone I’m into.
{0}_HAPPY: Not that I blame you.
TRAVIS_HAPPY: Fair does.
{0} gives you a wink before getting back in line.
{0}_FLIRTY: I guess it’s my go then.
{0} walks up and down the line of Islanders, a playful glimmer in his eyes.
UMA_FLIRTY: Who’s getting a visit from those lips?
{0}_FLIRTY: Let me see.

{0}_IDLE: And I only said what I said because I was trying to show off to the boys.
{0}_IDLE: It was snakey and not nice and I’ll never do it again.

hi! hope this reply finds you.. eventually. I accidentally deleted your ask when I actually wanted to delete another one (sorry) but I was meaning to reply to a few people in a single post anyway and took provisional screenshots! so this was a lucky coincidence!
thank you for reading Children of the Red Dust! my pride and joy :D but since you know me from word of honor I.. kind of guess why you would be confused by my previous post about my “fandoms of interest”, as u say.
so, originally (I believe it was around either 2017 or 2018, cannot guarantee on that I’m afraid) this was a side-blog spurred from my need to compartmentalize and gush about my experience of re-reading a few of my favorite fics from the hobbit fandom. back then, in fact, I was in a slump and needed to pick myself up. so I decided to revisit fandoms who had brought me joy in the past, one of which was the bagginshield ship. hence a “nostalgia” blog!
coincidentally, one of the authors of a particular fic among those would have later on (in 2020) influenced my decision to try reading mdzs since they were considering writing a fic about it. they were (and still are!) one of my favorite fic authors, so I trusted them completely on that and that’s how I stepped into the world of danmei!
first it was the untamed, then winter begonia and finally word of honor, through which you have come to meet me :) isn’t that magical?
now. in regards of your second question.. thank you for letting me ramble about my new shiny interests! :D
so here’s a handy list:
1. hotd & r//haenicent :
oh, where do I start! that’s a tough one bc I’m mostly vibing in here?? like. don’t get me wrong, I love the show as it is and I do enjoy the lore behind it a great deal. I’m mostly absorbing the content and let it either shock me or impress me depending on what’s on screen. I do see the flaws but I honestly don’t care about them. I’m just vibing, as I said. but I do like to see people posting meta about the reasoning behind each character! and I love reading about the actors’ ideas behind their back stories and motivations!
my ship of choice is mostly based on the fact that I do like me some toxic-ladies-twice-divorced energy in the room and I should add that I haven’t probably been able to watch killing eve yet just so I could prepare my tastebuds with the hotd female leads first. I especially love the modern!au edits I’m seeing floating around and for now that’s enough to keep me from starving until the new season arrives.
2. the devil judge :
honestly, my focus would be gone on all planes of existence wasn’t it for @/amethystina’s fic (I don’t want to bother her with me tagging her on this, but do trust me and go read it bc it’s gonna change your life!) Who Holds The Devil. seriously, my anxiety has been so bad recently but there she glows, the most massive brain in the universe, bringing us frequent updates despite her busy schedule (and, apparently?? she wrote an entire 100k words fic in the strangers from hell fandom on a whim?? so if that’s your vibe you can go feast on that baby and have a fucking party while you’re at it. thank me later)
no but for real. it’s almost camp. almost. the drama, I mean. all it needs is a feathered boa and it checks out. outlandish villains that do be sounding a little too similar to IRL egotistical capitalist pigs, dangerous pretty ladies, rich bitches (Kang YoHan included), mysteries™️, boytoys and sassy teenagers. there are a few complains I have, ngl, but the vibes are immaculate imo. I would also offer, in a similar vein, kdramas like little women (a recent favorite of mine!), beyond evil (a classic at this point) and, on a bigger scale, the glory (which I have yet to watch, contrary to the first two).
3. helluva boss :
this one caught me off guard, ngl. I used to see it trending on tumblr often but thought it was just the most recent western brand of animation that people get hooked on for the witty dialogue and vaguely philosophical themes being explored (as u can see idk anything about these things, I thought it was similar to adventure time or smth, the fool that I was!). what I got instead was great animation and complex three-dimensional characters overall. now I’ve rewatched the entirety of the available episodes perhaps ten times. honestly, my anxiety really needed that.
as with hotd, I’m just vibing.. but I’m very engaged. I felt almost euphoric at the thought that animators and artists could just.. have fun with it? I’m sure there’s an enormous amount of work involved in the production of every single episode, so I’m just leaning back and enjoy the show. bad gays are hella entertaining and I’m here for it. coincidentally, around the same time I started actively watching the series I found out about a new queer short film that is being developed called the lovers! it’s gonna be a long wait but it’s gonna be worth it :D
4. don’t hug me I’m scared :
this was a fun one. when it first came out (idr when tho) I remember being very uncomfortable with the material. it reminded me of Flat Eric, a yellow puppet used in dance music videos of some artist or smth: it used to terrify me as a child and dhmis evoked the same reaction out of me in the beginning. but then I watched some video essay on the matter and I grew more accustomed to the feel of it and became interested in the though process behind it instead. first video I watched on the topic was about an interpretation of the show through an autistic perspective and the other was a.. I believe a 3 or 4 hours video making an overview on the whole lore behind it.
I’m not very interested in “finding out what does this all mean” or anything of the sort. I’m just here for the cosplays xD no but really, people are so inventive! and they make merchandise and dolls and drawings and full on costumes all on their own! that’s creative as fuck! and it’s unsettling and evocative at the same time. I’m baffled by everyone’s talents and I’m merely wishing to be as good as them ahah.
5. dune & the hunger games :
not sure how this happened. I have read the latter series but not the first, I don’t have time for that. but I can digest a movie or two and the visuals are very interesting to me! also I am a bene gesserit simp and I hate them and their ways in equal measure. idk why but that’s how it is. similarly, I want to see how the cast for the prequel of hunger games does! I’ve heard the lovely viola davis is in it and I’m thrilled to see her being unhinged :D
but mostly, I re-evaluated the entire hunger game trilogy by reading meta posts and fics exploring the story from different perspective in the past and this new movie reignited the interest for the time being, so I’m excited to give it a try! dune, on the other hand, is new for me and it’s helping me bond with my dad on our shared love for sci-fi. what’s not to love??
6. succession :
I’m honestly not sure about this one. I plan to look more into it but idk when I will have the time ahah. if nothing it will entertain me with rich people drama which is always obnoxiously fun to tap into when capitalism fucks me over one way or another. we will see!
thank you for letting me talk into the void xD hope you have a great day yourself!

hokay so i got a copy of a ‘the life you save’ script in the post yesterday and obviously i have been losing my mind slowly over it for the past twenty four hours. it’s a ‘final’ script, dated 30/01/1981, with revised additions on blue pages dated 02/03/1981. i managed to get a lot of screencaps but since tumblr has a pesky 10 image limit, i’ll cover the more interesting stuff first and then go back and have thoughts on the rest in a subsequent post or two. i’m just gonna go off about the stuff that was edited from the aired episode, because there is a LOT.
so. here we go.
"no one notices”
conceal don’t feel...
i don’t know if there were many other instances where he’s sat with a patient for that long before (or after), so obviously this was out of character for him and the other two have picked up on that. the instant deflection when he’s asked about it. yeah.
...he’s literally referring to the jeep as a ‘patient’ and i’m. screaming. rizzo’s just going about his day like it’s another tuesday. charles has clearly clocked out and not even paying rizzo any mind.
the line... about the ‘narrow gap between sleep and death’... did his brother die in his sleep? from what we know, his brother was in an accident and died after an illness, and line would fit that theory (my personal hc is that the brother fell through ice, and died of pneumonia some time later, but honestly it’s so vague it could have been anything). also by the sounds of it the brother must’ve died at home so a ‘very young’ charles was obviously present when it happened.
this scene wasn’t in the episode and while i get why, that line just jumps out at me.
now here’s where it gets a little fucky. the first screencap above is on page 15, and it’s the beginning of the scene (#14) where charles is talking to pvt markham about death and his brother. the second cap is the same scene continued but after bj finds him and starts berating him about what he’s doing. it goes from page 15 to page 16a.
yeah the whole scene with the reveal is entirely missing.
i checked four times to see if it was inserted anywhere else, and counted all the pages, and nope. it’s missing.
to say i yelled is an understatement. it is the pivotal scene of the entire episode and for whatever reason, it’s not here. i don’t know if it was simply not completed in time to be included in this particular script and alan alda has decided to victimise me on an extremely personal level, but the one crucial scene for this episode is missing and now i have more questions than i have answers. i’m having my very own ‘the rooster crowd at midnight’ moment here and i’m going to run head first through a wall.
now. i’ve included these four screenshots because i’m going to yell about them a little here. as i have gone off at length before, he is very much left to his own devices the entire episode and never really seems to engage with anyone for any significant time. reading through the script he has very little dialogue with anyone else. every interaction he has is... detached and deflecting, usually he’s verbose and loud and long-winded. he is so far in his own head that anyone and anything else doesn’t seem to matter anymore, he’s very quiet. now these caps... these caps are interesting, because while the rest of them were content to just leave him the hell alone (or yell at him), they only bothered to pay attention to him when his behaviour was directly affecting them. mulcahy can’t move the trash, hawkeye’s going to get arrested over food trays, and bj’s losing his mind over grease-covered bed sheets, all because charles has made rizzo take apart all of the jeeps. they don’t seem to care WHY he’s done it, only that it’s inconveniencing them. margaret seems to be the only one concerned with him, going as far as trying to boost his morale, so to speak, only to call him ‘very weird’ for moping around and constantly fidgeting with the hat. she even grabs it off him but doesn’t notice the bullet holes. i like that a (small) attempt was made, she was concerned, but he very characteristically shut down and refused to talk about it and she got frustrated and yelled at him and called him names. oddly, the only person not to complain about it as vocally is rizzo, even though we know how much he hates doing anything that doesn’t involve sleeping or lunch. he’s pretty much heard charles talking to himself about death and dying and putting people back together like machinery, yet isn’t protesting to potter like the rest of them at being made to pull the jeeps apart for essentially no reason.
also, the point was made earlier that mulcahy and hawkeye weren’t involved with this plot directly, but i’m guessing their lines may’ve been cut for time, because it’s obvious they weren’t that interested in doing anything about it, either. “fortunately [he] makes it easy” is just... doing so much here, because while it’s rather true, it’s so very goddamn painful and tbh i wish so much that it wasn’t cut. his own roommates (endorsed by their c.o.) have decided that it’s better if they left him to it, even though they know something’s not right. i mean. every time he even attempts at talking about something serious it always backfires and turns out badly, so obviously there’d be little reason for him to keep trying. and, to quote my best good friend gene here, when he keeps pushing people away to a safe and convenient distance, they don't even recognise it when he's talking about himself versus talking about himself. he will say so much but tell very little. i keep coming back to that line of hawkeye’s in particular because what i’d really like is a side-by-side comparison of 'bless you hawkeye’, which should have technically preceded this episode, because there are distinct differences in how the two situations have been handled by everyone. in this case everyone has accepted that he’s clearly not in his right mind but it would be better for all involved if they just left him alone to get on with it, until he snaps and actually almost gets himself killed. it’s a very.... ‘oh no! anyway.’ kind of reaction. even klinger saying he’s lost it, but offers nothing more than that. the fact the scene ends with potter still yelling on the phone sorta makes me think that nothing’s much changed for him or will.
and i think that’s... pretty much the point. i think he’s so used to having to deal with this trauma (and i guess the rest of it) on his own that talking about it with someone else is not something he’s entirely prepared to do (or knows how to do) and shuts himself off from the situation and deflects deflects deflects, and everyone’s decided they’re not going to bother to make an effort if he won’t. the rest of them know enough about him that he’s a little more removed from them in a ‘a friend but not a friend-friend’ kinda way and it’s paid off in a big way here. to even repeat what @marley-manson said in a post earlier today, ‘no one knows he’s upset, unless it’s really serious and then no one knows why or how serious it is. ever.’, and that’s really the crux of the situation. he is a very solitary person, and keeps everyone else at arms’ length no matter what and letting no one in and has to rely on himself to get through it like every other time. he does his own thing without much concern for the problems of everyone else, and everyone else does their own thing without much concern for his problems, even though they can tell he’s three fries short of a happy meal. and i feel like, there’s a subtle theme of that running through the show, that while they are the ‘found family’ trope™, they each individually can be very self-absorbed and dismissive sometimes. so i guess this is a partial pay off of that too, everyone’s got their own problems and are too busy to worry about someone else’s. so i think the two ideas can co-exist. he wants to be left alone, they leave him alone; he’s got his problems, they’ve got theirs. they just don’t seem to notice how badly he’s gotten until it’s too late. no one notices. WE know how deep it goes, we’re the only ones who know, as always. the line about the psychiatrists way back in that season six (SEASON SIX!!) episode was clearly for a giggle, like most of his little moments (which were many), until you actually stop and realise how deeply messed up it actually sounds. and then you get this. because no one noticed.
#mash 4077#m*a*s*h#charles emerson winchester iii#winchester wednesday#blue's post#mash#i have many many more thoughts and things i need to yell about#but a single post will just not do it#if you'd like a particular scene or something lemme know and i can post it#or just like yell with me about this cos the brainrot is slowly consuming me#there will be more shrimp thoughts but probably not today because i've got so much else to do#maybe next week so watch this space <3#long post

I Think I Always Knew
Inversion is over. I’m posting this.
I feel like there were some things that needed to be said, so I inserted some dialogue into the canon dialogue... yeah.
Inversion Spoilers, by the way, for the very end of The Void They Leave Behind
1.2k words
(I’ll move the Keep Reading a little lower later, maybe)
—
On some level, I think I always knew that I wouldn’t be an Electro Energetic forever. I think the back of my mind always whispered it’d be temporary. That one day the lightning that had been latent in my blood my entire life would be taken away from me.
Maybe that was why I always made the most of my powers while I had them. I loved my powers. I loved the feel of my lightning in my veins. Loved the flashes of bright light as I released them.
But I unlocked my powers because I met Vincent. Because my uncontrollable attraction to him led me back to Wonder World—and to Adam. And once Vincent and I became a couple, some piece of me knew I only had three options going forward. The first was that our relationship would crumble as I aged and he didn’t—as I out-matured him—and I’d move on with my life as an Electro Energetic and find someone mortal to spend my life with.
The second option was that we’d stay together and I’d stay mortal, but when I started to look old enough to be his parent, we could no longer behave like a couple in public. Not in the unempowered sections of Dahlia, anyway. I doubted he’d ever willingly leave me, even when I was no longer young and attractive. But eventually things would have to change.
The third option led me here. Losing my lightning. The powers that had saved me from Adam. The powers I’d adored for a year-and-a-half. But I’d gain the immortality that would let me be with Vincent forever, just as we knew each other. I’d still have magic—muted and weak as it was—but I’d be nocturnal, like him, and I’d spend the rest of my unlife drinking blood to survive. Just like he did. And that year-and-a-half of being an Electro Energetic would eventually feel like an easily-forgettable flash in the pot. Maybe.
Vincent said he thought we’d have more time. I’d hoped so too. I didn’t think I’d be dying when the time came for us to make that decision.
But I couldn’t regret the choice I’d made. Vincent could have tried to convince me to go underground with the other survivors—maybe if he’d been successful, I wouldn’t be lying on the ground with my life falling away. But then it would be someone else—someone who maybe wasn’t as strong as I was. Someone who wasn’t a fighter the way I’d always been. Someone who wouldn’t have this option, and then their friends and family would never see them again. I had the choice to wake up—new and different forever, but still existing.
“It would be a new life. Do you want this? Do you want me to turn you?” Vincent asked. He was crying, and even Sam looked heartbroken. I didn’t even know Sam that well—apart from how much Vincent talked about him. He’d spent the last year guiding two newborns. Maybe he’d help Vincent guide me.
Not that Vincent hadn’t babysat for the newborns multiple times, but this was going to be a long-term commitment.
I coughed. The life-force I still had remaining was trickling away from me. “I’ll lose my powers… my—my lightning…”
Vincent’s grip on my hand was going to shatter my bones if he held on any tighter. “I know, baby. I’m sorry. But if you don’t want me to—”
“Do it,” I said. “Please.”
“You’re sure?”
“Eternity with you is worth it—and I’d rather it be you than Will or Sam or anyone.” I gave him a smile. It was weak, but it was there. “Turn me. I love you.”
“Okay. Then that’s what I’m gonna do. I love you too.” He glanced back at Sam, kneeling on the ground slightly behind. “Sam—” His voice broke as he only choked out the one word. I figured he was probably thinking the same thing I was. Sam knew how already.
“Your body knows how, Vincent,” Sam said gently, setting a hand on his shoulder. “The magic will do it.” I could barely hear his soft-spoken, level-headed tone over Vincent’s sobs. “Blood for blood.”
“Blood for blood,” Vincent repeated in a whisper. He took a pair of deep, fortifying breaths—
Before plunging his fangs into his own wrist, practically tearing a chunk out of his arm in his haste to get the process going. His blood, in the darkness, was almost more violet than red. He pressed his wrist to my lips. “Drink, lovely,” he instructed, voice low and eyes black. I opened my mouth and let him put his wrist between my lips. I started to drink his blood. It was salty, but there was almost a sweet tang to it. “Just keep drinking.”
I wanted to reach out to my lightning one last time—feel the way its zing shot through my veins, giving me strength, giving me confidence—but all I could muster was the small feeling of electric sparks around my Core.
Vincent, breath still shaking and face stained with tears, gave me a forlorn, loving look with his fangs pressed against his lower lip.
He opened his mouth and bit into my neck—like he’d done plenty of times before. Now for what I wondered if it would be the last time. Vampires could drink each other’s blood, he’d told me that. But he said it was like alcohol and it could have effects even in small doses. So there’d be no point, after this.
Vincent had told me how vampires turned their progeny—drain them of their blood while feeding them the maker’s blood to replace it. He was, quite literally, going to suck me dry.
I knew that familiar pull at my neck of him feeding on me, but this was more intense than any previous experience with him. I could feel my limbs starting to shake. Flashes of a dark cellar—a sadistic grin—Adam’s voice purring and crooning, mocking me—
No, I thought harshly as my pulse started pounding in my ears. Vincent is gentler. You know that.
And, even in Vincent’s haste to save my life, he was. He wasn’t rough, like Adam. I could hear his heavy breathing, his quiet grunts. Feel his tears fall on the skin of my neck.
My heartbeat thudded in my ears—which had also started ringing.
My vision faded. Edges first, and slowly retracting into a tunnel.
I knew a little bit about what to expect. I would wake up as a newborn vampire. Immortal, silver-eyed, less powerful magic, but strong in ways I’d never been before—and days away from being in the throes of the bloodlust. Vincent would be lucky to be stay awake after turning me—which meant those underground might lose a defender. And even if he somehow did manage to stay awake, he’d probably be exhausted.
I’d never really lied to Vincent in the first place—except to occasionally say I was fine when I really wasn’t—but I’d never be able to lie to him ever again. And I’d be a Solaire. Vincent’s blood—William’s blood—would be in my veins.
The vague wondering of whether or not he’d ever need to invoke me crossed my mind as my thoughts grew fuzzy. My ears were ringing louder and my heartbeat slammed down my ear canals. I barely had the strength to keep drinking Vincent’s blood.
I blacked out.

Okay so I was just at the amusement park with my family and I got an idea. May I request a batfamily hc at the amusement Park. Like why would they do, how would the react especially in the little house of fear that some have who would enter and who would be scared etc etc.
I love this, I will say I had to do some research on all the rides (Ik it sounds silly but i wanted a ~variety~ of rides to choose from) cause I haven’t been to an amusement park since I was like 10? Maybe younger, I’m now in my early 20s, so I needed a reminder (and now I wanna go to an amusement park). This will mostly be based on six flags/state fair stuff/Disney. Side note six flags has so many rides named after DC characters??? Like what? When did that happen? I thought they were just like idk named after random natural disasters but nope they’re named after psychotic clowns and spandexed super dorks. But anywho enough of me being confused by fun. Here is the batfam at an amusement park!
(Also just a side note since I’m still trying to figure out my new work schedule I’m gonna answer asks with headcanons then do a dialogue post that I link to the ask)
Bruce
He used to never go bc ‘the mission’ was too important to get distracted from.
But then he and the family went to Disney and he was a complete buzzkill the first day. Dick was absolutely pissed and chewed him out, the next day he was actually fun and not an asshole.
He still doesn't love amusement parks but he enjoys the time he spends with kids.
Dick
Has been on every roller coaster like five times and absolutely adores them.
He also loves the all the bungee jumping rides and has tried to get Bruce to put one in the cave.
Always has cotton candy. Like always. One second it'll be gone the next bam, there it is.
Babs
She loves roller coasters, she used to go one them with Dick all the time but now Steph is her favorite roller coaster buddy.
One of Bab's favorite memories is taking Cass on the Ferris Wheel and watching the look of amazement on her face when she saw night sky from the very top of the wheel.
Going to an amusement park with Babs is amazing because she's able to plan the perfect ride schedule to avoid lines and get the most rides in possible all while not being overly strict.
Jason
Jason isn't a fan of amusement parks, they're too loud and he'd much rather spend the day reading or hanging out at home with friends.
When he does go he likes to see the shows, he'll never admit it but he loves the 4-D movies.
After he and Roy became close Jason started to enjoy them more, one time Roy spent three hours trying to win a stuffed bear for Jason. The game was rigged so he kept losing, finally he asked Dick for advice and Dick helped him win.
Cass
She once got banned from a park for putting a clown in the hospital.
The clown was making Steph a balloon animal and Cass thought that he was going to attack her.
Cass loves roller coasters and the games but she absolutely adores the Ferris Wheel, one her favorite memories is riding one with Babs.
Steph
If you go to an amusement park with Steph you will go in to the house of horrors.
Her goal in the house of horrors is to scare the actors.
Everytime she goes to an amusement park she brings home a pin as a souvenir.
Tim
He enjoys amusement parks but they aren't his favorite. Because of this he and Jason usually stick together.
He is unnaturally skilled at all the games, like even Dick is impressed.
One time he fell asleep while waiting in line for a roller coaster, Jason ended up carrying him, and Steph decided that they should still put him on the ride. So, like ten minutes later he woke up on the biggest ride in the park right as they were about to hit the drop.
Duke
Dick accuses him of being an octopus because of how much he can carry at once.
Duke is often seen with two drinks, popcorn, cotton candy, three giant stuffed animals, two regular sized stuffed animals, a churro, and a pretzel.
He also always knows the parks layout, together he and Babs make an unstoppable park duo.
Damian
He's not a fan of roller coasters but will ride them just to spend more time with Dick.
Much like Cass he has also been banned from a park for assualting an employee. But instead of punching a clown he bit a zombie in the house of horror.
He has befriended every animal in every amusement park within 500 miles of Gotham.

Kamski the magician
Connor on the spirit’s seal
Hank and Connor
Gavin and Nines
Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6 - Part 7
Connor arrives into the hall of the castle without encountering anyone. He sees the darkness war spirit's seal engraved in the ground, and runs towards it to hit it with an ice spear but is stopped by a voice piercing through the gigantic hall. He freezes as his spear shatters in his hand, evaporating into thin mist.
??? : Well… It's been long since the last time I've seen an intruder in my house.
Connor looks up to see… Kamski.
Connor : … Please sir, my companions are fighting your monsters and… They won't last long… Can you call the monsters back ?
Kamski : Why exactly do you think those monsters are here ? They're made to defend this citadel. It's a miracle that you made it here.
Connor falls on his knees : I beg you, sir… Please order your monsters to retreat…
Kamski : Hm…
Kamski walks slowly to the middle of the room, towards the symbol on the floor, not deigning looking at Connor. He finally uses his magic stick to hit the seal and Connor sighs in relief as he can hear the darkness war spirit roars vanish, echoing in the silent hall. The Golem can't even stand up, his legs feeling numb as cotton threads. He slowly realizes he's facing his creator, his God, people would say. After a moment, Kamski speaks again.
Kamski : So… you're a Golem… You've come a long way, don't you… Who are your companions ?
Connor : Nines, the closest thing to a brother I have, Gavin and Hank, two human companions form the Red Guard.
Kamski : You came here with humans ? And you call them your companions ? Interesting.
Connor : We're here because we…
Kamski : Let me guess. Your species is on the decline, and humans are hungry. Did I get it good ?
Connor : ...you know about it ? Then why… didn't you help us ?
Kamski : I helped you already. I helped Golems by creating them to be sentient beings, able to feel and think, able to want. I gave you the key to freedom. I helped Humans by giving them magic creatures, able to cultivate the lands and mix in with them on a social and emotional level.
What did you all do ? Humans enslaved your people, and Golems turned their back to those they morally had to protect : now you're killing each other like animals.
Humans treated you as their creations, and instead of establishing a dialogue, you rioted, killed many of them, and condemned the survivors to die slowly from never ending famines. Humans could have treated you as their equals, but instead of that, they made you their slaves, and thus created their own fate.
I already helped you, but it was nothing more than a waste of time.
Connor : … But… we're dying…
Kamski : And you're just standing there, thinking I was going to save you all ?
What if I gave you everything I could already ? What if you had to save yourselves, now ?
Connor blinks.
Connor : "The key to our prosperity..."
Kamski : You know the answer. You wish I could give you a simpler solution, but I won't. Tell me, what's the key, Connor ?
Connor : … "The key to our prosperity lies in…"... symbiosis.
Kamski : Symbiosis. Funny how simple the solution is, and how everybody just overlooked it. Humans and Golems are enclosed in interdependency : the only way to save your peoples, is to unite them.
Connor : But how ? We… we're fighting for decades ! Killing each other ! How can we just… forget and step forward together ?
Kamski : I don't have all the answers, young one.
Connor : … I… I thought… you would come up with something… and save us all…To me, you were like a god… Now… How can I tell my friends we came this far for… nothing ?
Kamski : Oh no, Connor, you're smarter than this. Look at your partners, fighting for you to get here, and dare say again that you all came for nothing.
Connor is lost and disappointed.
Kamski : I'm sorry to disappoint you. There are no such things as Gods here below. All we have is willpower, determination and patience. If you all want to save your peoples, then do it by yourselves.
X
Connor finds Hank, resting against a column in the tunnel. The man gets up seeing the Golem, wincing a bit and holding his abdomen. All the monsters are gone.
Hank : So ? What happened ?
Connor just closes his eyes and hugs Hank tight. The warrior is surprised at first, but then sighs, realizing Connor's crying against him.
Hank : Let's find Gavin and Nines, you'll tell us later, okay ?
Connor helps Hank walk down the rock since he got hurt again fighting the monsters. They join Nines, who is taking care of Gavin's wounds. Connor can't help but notice his brother's fingers, delicately curled around the human's. Surprisingly, none of them ask anything about Kamski : they can already feel that something went wrong. Connor feels grateful when Gavin reaches for his shoulder, giving him an awkward yet comforting pat.
X
They get back to Nestlepeek, and sit down in an inn. Connor finally explains everything Kamski told him, staring at his hands, feeling on his shoulders the weight of his responsibility in the situation.
Connor : I know it's all my fault. I thought we were going to find a simple answer to all our problems… I took you on a quest I had invented because I was certain Kamski was going to help us.
I'm sorry for the trouble, I'm sorry we still don't have any solution… it's- it's all my fault.
Hank : … A few months ago… I'd have said it was just an illusion… that we couldn't bring peace between our two peoples. But now I… I want to try.
Connor looks up, eyes shining wet, surprised. Hank blushes, scratching his cheek in embarrassment as he keeps going:
Hank : I'm not optimistic, you know that. But we… I can't give up. You said we would save our people … and we're going to do exactly this. It ain't gonna be easy, I know, but we can do it. Right, Nines ?
Nines remains silent for a few seconds, his arms crossed in a reflective attitude. His stare wanders on the table, before it meets Gavin's profile for a fleeting moment. Connor waits nervously, ready to hear Nines say they should have stayed at Jericho, that maybe there was nothing left to save now. His breath fastens suddenly, but he tries to regulate it by himself, closing his eyes while Hank's large warm palm covers the back of his hand in a soothing gesture. Their eyes meet and Connor smiles faintly.
Nines : I learned to appreciate Hank and Gavin during our journey. I'm ready to plead for the Humans' cause with our people when we will be back home. Markus should listen to us… But we will have to convince the rest of them.
Hank : What about you Gavin ? Would you help me talk to Fowler, then the Queen ?
Gavin : I'd do anything to not have to fight Golems again. I can't do that anymore…
Nines smiles discreetly at Gavin's words. Connor can't help but to be touched by how close his brother and the youngest warrior are : Kamski knew it, they didn't come for nothing, after all. They had all found each other.
Connor : You guys really want to go back to Detroit and Jericho, tell our leaders we have to unite our forces to survive ? What if… what if they refuse ?
Gavin : Why would they ? We're living together or dying together. Even I know there is no better choice.
Hank : Diplomacy, this is our last resort : Kamski was right…We have willpower, determination and patience.
Connor meets Nines, Gavin, then finally Hank's loving eyes.
Connor : Alright then... Let's go back home.
I’m finally posting the last part lmao
So yep, they’re going back, and will solve the problem by themselves... I think it’s important that they try to make the world a better place by themselves, and not with only Kamski’s deus ex machina.
Hope you liked that last part, see you later for the Operation Cyberlife update ;)
