Vanya's longest-running book series, despite having the main thematic of dark mysteries, cooky detectives, obsessive researchers and preternatural cases, also includes plenty of romance, a direct result of Vannie herself being a lovebug. The titular narrator, Mr Cain, is married and adores his wife, and his daughter Ms Cain has more chemistry with the women in her life than with her intended straight candidates (necessary to even put books on the shelves in that time period). Even background couples have running stories, she can't just half-ass a romance. Snarky colleagues? Partners in crime? Childhood friends? Accidental allies? Enemies impressed by each other? Yes! And more! Being a giant lesbian apparently does wonders for the female reader base, even if she wrote with a masculine pen name (1940s-50s detective literature craze, iykyk). Of the heaps of letters she keeps from back in the day, her favourites are from women taken with the characters, their relationships and the mysterious writer with such charming insight into the feminine inner world and heart. They used to fluster her something fierce once!
Nikodemus has the most rancid trophy room imaginable, mostly full of souvenirs from atrocities he's committed and horrible cursed paraphernalia. Including but not limited to: the trunk of the hollow tree, a worship idol of his people; an intricatelly ornamented fur-collared robe with two men's magically animated (able to emote and speak) severed heads sewn at the shoulders; several crowns - some authentic and stolen from overthrown/slaughtered rulers, some self-forged but still ancient, some... made out of odd materials (ancient leaves, bones, etc); a werecreature fur carpet; stacks of books that can and will kill you if minimally provoked; a slab of stone with a failed teleportation rune on it that is now its own dark uncloseable portal (it doesn't lead anywhere, stepping into it will just break your body apart); a sizeable grimoire collection; some paintings, mostly of himself, and a very old gravestone with his name on it. :) I just think it really illustrates who he is.

hi heres art so you pay attention to me now go read the tags
#ive been rewatching episode 7 like its the only thing on youtube and made note of many things#first off. the solver can only have one host. nori mentions skyn wants to kill off all the other solver hosts (with the dds) and disregards#the idea of both uzi and doll being its current host when they get chased#plus the main solver possessions only occur when skyn is out of the picture (the fightt in ep 7 is only after n decapitates “tessa”)#solver uzi is possible too but i dont count her cause she doesn't have the yellow#personal theory is that its more an instinctual response to overheating or something and not full on possession#second off nori calls the solver cyn. how does she know that name#cyn was on earth and only showed up to copper 9 recently and i presume nori's been here her whole life#it probably wasn't the other dds cause none of them made it down and they're all more savage beasts#since cyn specifies n's team retained their personalities and that makes me think the other teams didnt#also also we should've immediately questioned tessa arriving in the same type of pod as the mds when they were revealed to not be sent by j#im running out of characters also the people who dont like when i use tags like this can bite me#murder drones#murder drones nori#artori? that sounds cool#ill probably just stick with nori though#i have so many solver heart refs now#art#episode 7#murder drones episode 7#murder drones episode 7 spoilers#using the same black for shadows as my lineart doesn't work when i have to draw thin things over it#murder drones spoilers

actually I also wanna talk about the part where Percy convinces Bob to kill Hyperion because even though Percy never says anything outright sinister, the way he handles the entire situation with such cool ease, playing on Bob’s emotions... its so insane???
Because Annabeth’s reaction to the three of them encountering Hyperion reforming is: “oh this is bad we need to get out of here” She knows if Bob remembers himself, that it's not going to play out well for Percy and her. She also thinks about how they're being pursued and don't have a lot of time. Her solution to the problem, seemingly, is to leave.
But Percy's solution is to work the situation to his advantage. He re-affirms Bob's loyalty to him:
Tumblr media
Percy then re-establishes Bob's moral code: "Some monsters are good. Some are bad. This Titan is bad. He tried to kill me and a lot of people. He's not good like you are."
And it ends with Percy leaving the choice of whatever to do with Hyperion to Bob but of course, is it really what Bob chose to do? Bob decides to kill Hyperion. It's not what he may have done, if Percy hadn't intervened. But it's exactly what Percy was oh-so-sweetly leading Bob to do.
And listen, I'm not claiming that it was exactly morally bankrupt of Percy to take advantage of a once-evil titan who could get him and his girlfriend through hell in one piece. Percy, Annabeth, they manipulate monsters and enemies all the time. Annabeth ended the previous book with manipulating Arachne into weaving her own web. So it's not exactly like she's against using manipulative tactics, in theory.
But Bob, at this point, is not just some monster. He is so painfully sincere in his belief in Percy and their friendship, so yes, it does feel a bit sinister whenever Percy uses Bob... and he really uses Bob.
And I think what makes the scene so unsettling, it isn't just that Percy manipulated Bob, its how well Percy manipulated him. He manipulates Bob so well that Percy doesn't even have to kill Hyperion... because Bob does it for him. He manipulates Bob so well, that Annabeth couldn't tell if Percy was purposefully trying to manipulate the situation. (Newsflash, he most definitely was). Like holy shit.

one of my not-so-favorite things about rrverse fanfics is how often percy is described as clueless. like, i know it's all in good fun and for comedic value, but percy is incredibly perceptive. for the first twelve years of his life, he was raised in an abusive household and was consistently surrounded by people who would belittle him for shit he couldn't control. so being perceptive was likely a defense mechanism. then he was immediately thrust into a world with threats of godly proportions and monsters with the intent to kill. so it quickly became a survival tactic. the only time percy has ever been clueless was about people being romantically interested in him, which could definitely be chalked up to low self-esteem.

Cucurucho versus — Tilin (and JuanaFlippa)
Oh, no, Cucurucho. You didn't sent them to hell. You just help them bring hell to you.

ALSO! There is a 1-day poll on who do you want to see first (Tump or Bobby) in the next comic under the 'keep reading' (because i don't have the energy to work on both of them at the same time T_T)
Go vote!
