Episode 146 The Dream part 2 reactions
Guess who's the winner of the 4 ways of the race between : Frederick+Laverne VS Aurelia VS Leopold+Jamie VS The Plaid Troop?
Tumblr media
Before we go to actual reaction, I like to share how much the prediction from the sneak peek episode 146 it is :
---------THESE PART TOTALLY SKIPPABLE BTW--------------
1) We see Frederick with llamakart been pointed out by the Johny guy that been talking with the Princels (ep 146), I feel the next the Princels and that guy will following 'the strange boy' to the Pastel forest - and the princels realized that boy is meeting the ol' ham hands (Prez) and that boy is the same person that Gwen mentioned as her fiance upon their first meeting => like we will got conversation of Prez surprised that Frederick comes so frantic + crashing CPC's party of Whitney's iniation, to reveals he realized what CPC mentioned of 'things that Gwen's going throught' and Plaid Kingdom right now sending troop to the Pastel palace for whatever Leland's plan is. At the same time, Leopold and Jamie catching up to Frederick to the forest -> in the same bushes hearing conversation between CPC and Frederick, meet the Princels (they've meet before in Ep 93) / the revelation that Frederick is Gwendolyn's fiance could also happen there -> plus it will be kind of 'hilarious' cliff hanger to get those intruders (Leopold, Jamie, The Princels and Johny guy) busted off from their hiding by CPC
+ Why I predict Frederick will drops by CPC? Because he's adminsitrative support guy at heart, he doesn't think he's alone could save Gwen and urgently need help from his friends (CPC) - especially during his imprisonment, he reminded that he has real friends that will totally support him due to Leland dropped off the gala potrait where he-Gwen-and CPC taking that lovely potrait
Tumblr media
-> Turns out what I predict about the Princels not be true, their character development won't be in near future :/
2) After being busted off, those intruders then offer help to saving the Pastel Kingdom from Plaid's evil plan to CPC and Frederick while sharing intelligence.
The Princels as Blaine's number 1 hater promise to doing something that will distract the troop that definetely leads by Plaid royals + the Johny guy could help in battle too.
Whitney leads the distractor OP team and will making recall to Plaid Royals that he's Frederick friend (also burly yoga teacher!) who gonna take matters at hand after Frederick's treatment in the prison + Laverne totally following him and those two could discard the rally troop (which idk somehow I think they bought item that could blow up castle.. like a cannon or ballista?) + Leopold and Jamie being the 'middle man duo' to them (Frederick - CPC - 'the intruders') that adds more intelligence [from this, the time for Frederick learnt that another help that Gwen need is for him to be there besides her to gives 'true love kiss' that might be the cure for that poisoned apple] about Leland's plan such as; Leland plan involved; Wedding (dresses and such), proposal to drastically increased the military, Leland's plan to take over the world, the Clam. In the same time of this, Aurelia will comes to CPC (either directly, or because she not gain entry to Pastel palace) while showing the diary of Lilyth - which what I had in mind some pages (especially the first painful page) got destroyed by vomit-mixed-acid due to Aurelia reading the book in rushing carriage
3) As Aurelia comes to the picture, we got 2 OP team to 'destroy' the Plaid's rally troop there :
A) The direct one consists of Whitney [as his 'military' experience will be so helpful there stopping the troop], Saffron+Thermodora [I feel that the cursed hand duo could destroy or at least scratched the weapon that the troop brought, and ofc scaring the troop], Leopold [he already saw the 'item' that Leland bought for the 'house visit' and predicted that if they could gain that item it means they could flip the odds for their favor), the Princels (they could gives distractions to Blaine, which likely leading the rally given during [Punishment] it feels like Leland temporary gives him leadership/the throne) and that Johny guy (as fighting support) => their goal is to stop (and hopefully to destroy) the rally troop, scatters them so the army gonna trapped in Pastel Forest ~ thus CPC members (like Renee, Jolie, Nell + Bernadette) could scare them shirtless in the 'haunted' Pastel forest - make the troops forget their initial goal to invade Pastel Palace
(B) The indirect one (the members keep shifting in my mind, but the ones that always in that team) are: Jamie as the middle man (of confrontations between Gwen's sisters) and be the guide to entering the Pastel Palace, Frederick (he'll gonna save Gwen, even with feeling embarassed and fear [breaking Gwen's boundaries and the possibility things not working] of side-quest [learnt from Jamie] to giving Gwen's true love kiss), Aurelia as the one that read and have all informations from Lilyth's diary (her persona could help 'the negotiations' later on, Syrah as her the truth exclaimer and the romance expert -> she's gonna be the one that help the indirect team to gain trust from the sisters (and Pastel Palace folks) so they could preparing to confront the Plaid Troop and giving chance for Frederick making amends, and ofc Prez Calpernia be there -> She had deep talk with Gwen before, and her telling that honestly is solid foundation to build relationship is truly right (She'll be the key to Frederick make amends to Gwen there) + she's gonna be the recon and fighter and the teamThere's another potential members for that indirect team in my prediction, which also the CPC members that participate in Gwen's dinner party too (so the Pastel Palace folks could remember them) but I am just not sure how their role in later on - which are : Monika (recon?), Abbi (helping the indirect team to be more trustable?) and Curtis (the fighter? what will happen if he meets Molly and MIss Agatha again?)
-> THESE turn out to be like I am the one without brake, thinking too far ahead - ep 146 showing all participants of 'the race' but what they'll do not revealed yet. Just think those 'wall of text' as something skippable honestly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
FINALLY EPISODE 146 THE DREAM PART 2 REACTION !!
I am laughing at that carrot and stick treatment from Frederick to Laverne there!
Tumblr media
Yay for the winner of the race - with their newfound teamwork! And that's very clever to make switcheroo of one time in the kart to 'rest' while the other is the 'rusher' back a bit from Patreon's leaks. Also favorite reaction of the race participants def Aurelia fr, is like "I will sleep after one chapter, but turns out to read the whole book 'till sunrise fr"
Tumblr media
That Johny guy indeed pointing Frederick and called him 'strange boy' word but it’s “dweeb”
Tumblr media
-> Dweeb is a DEROGATORY•INFORMAL word for a boring, studious, or socially inept person. T^T
Tumblr media
I am disappointed that the Princels 'development won't be anywhere insight presently and it's more of the Johny guy adding bad influence by laughing cruelly at Frederick together with the Princels. But, well, probably in the future?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
^ just want to share the season change between summer and spring when Frederick carrying Llamakart to reach Gwen
Tumblr media
Frederick should mention 'the Plaid preparing a rally troop' to tell the gravity of the situation to Dandridge there... And Beckett, I really think you won't stand a chance to 'single-handedly stop them when they arrive' - the one that has a chance to stop them is Lorena and her defense project, while possible defect from Suzie and Lance there to weaken them.
"I hope you're doing well, Gwen.. "
Tumblr media
Nooo Frederick..  She's not doing well but I say thankfully not worse like getting nightmares there, but she is currently overwhelmed with those fairy tales that Maria reads :-:"
Tumblr media
^ Gwen really like Lilyth/Leelathae in here espc with her wearing her mother's robe.. and is this the first time we see Gwen's getting annoyed - which suprisingly to herself?
Tumblr media
Jolie is the Cheshire Cat there! Syrah and Thermidora being the Tweedledum and Tweedle Dee of Alice in Wonderland +
Tumblr media
Thermidora being the little Mermaid there, Maria and Lorena is part of The Three Pigs, Jamie is the Gingerbread man, Saffron is the Peter Pan, Monika from the Velvesteen Rabbit, Curtis is the Mr. Cricket from Pinocchio, Aurelia is Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Abbi is little red riding hood, idk who Laverne be but feels like outfit of the wolf when faking as grandma of the red riding hood.
Tumblr media
OMG not realizing for the first time that the Teddy bear that being shove to scattered face of Humpty Dumpty is Frederick as it having green eyes button-plaid ribbon and body of blonde=as his hair color -> As recently LambCat put 'hypothetical plushies' vote, with Frederick likely win- even if ended as teddy bear like episode 146 it still so lovely!!
Tumblr media
Also BTW the webtoon comment section mentioned that this scene likely to pointing out that Frederick's kiss won't be the answer of "the missing piece" that Humpty Dumpty which Gwen carrying around's problem is - Anyone have an idea of what the 'missing piece' gonna be? IMHO that'll be something complex and including multiple factors at once - like closure from what all happened (like letting Frederick's apology sink in), believing that 'scary thoughts' that Gwen hearing about ["Frederick never loved her.. No one ever love her"] is totally false, and with Lilyth's diary - realizing that she and her mother is beautiful as the way they are - and need to stop relying all their self-worth to the love's interest.
-> I wonder about how the race is going on next, as here we got the winner [Frederick] but things are not going 'well' with him warning the guards .. I really hope the Plaid rally troop will be the last to come to give everyone time to confront them - but let's see as I think it also likely ends with 'chaos'. 
This idea is interesting as Jamie already knew that Aurelia is one of Gwennie's classmates [but off she's ready my mother's diary!] while it will be interesting conversation between Leopold initial thought about Gwen tricked by Aurelia due to jealousy thus calling Gwen ugly... and those three could sneak into the palace, as now they have 'lock picketer' a.k.a Aurelia among them now
+ Yay Frederick to go to CPC there.. welp he's not crashing the 'slumber' party but invited instead, thou if only someone gives him a big - warm hug? ;-;
As Whitney personally invited Frederick (tbh unfortunately the only one that noticed him? Poor Freddie) to his Slumber party, I feel we get callback of these moments in episodes [Slumber party] - but will the time enough ?? Also Freddie not wearing any plaid here makes him like a true 'neutral party'
Tumblr media
^ it's often theorizes that for Frederick to becomes closer to Gwendolyn, he needs to be himself and letting go the 'must be like what proper Plaid prince is' - he showed without proper Plaid prince attire (be it he ripping his sleeve, opened up his upper site's jacket, casting off his jacket or totally not wearing his trademark green plaid jacket)
Those all folks! Hope you guys enjoying this lovely episode right after that 3 weeks excrutiating hiatus there xD
BONUS:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Ads at the end is really sweet and seems kinda broken the CPC BLR fandom there tn hehe xD CPC X Nikki
Why not including it in this post IG tehee
-> I am truly leaving now, see ya! Don't forget to be happy!!

Celle que je lisais

[tweet from Writers Guild of America West @/wgawest that says, "The WGA and AMPTP have reached a tentative agreement. This was made possible by the enduring solidarity of WGA members and extraordinary support of our union siblings who stood with us for over 146 days. More details coming after contract language is finalized. #WGAStrike". Attached is an image of a crowded room, over which the text TENTATIVE AGREEMENT REACHED is placed. end ID]
What does this mean for us now? -> Contract language is still being finished and the agreement must be voted upon by WGA membership before the contract is ratified. Look out for more news in the coming days.
Also, now is not the time to lessen your support, especially financially! Coming out of the work stoppage, WGA members will still need financial and moral support as they get back on their feet and look for employment again. The best way to support the union members is to donate to funds like the Entertainment Community Fund and the Green Envelope Grocery Aid, which will continue to provide grants.
Edit to add: Also, SAG-AFTRA is still on strike so please do continue to support the actors! They will most likely head into negotiations after the WGA deal has been finalized.

Decided to do a 2024 Redo of my OC Height chart, redrawing all the old cast and adding in the new ones, one at a time (at least, on discord. Will probably post them in groups of 5 for tumblr). Here's the old one from 2019!
So far, only did 5 and I ran out of steam, 2 old boys and 3 that haven't been height-charted. I'll pick it up again later and add more when I find the time/energy. Also adding their weights!
The text in the image:
Titus: 5'1", 146 lbs Terry: 5'2", 205 lbs David: 5'10", 280 lbs Bourey: 5'6", 125 lbs Jayesh: 6'1" 352 lbs A small part of the reason I'm putting this down is cuz I'm unsure which to chart next, so feel free to drop in requests to see which of my OCs you'd like to see for when I find time again, since interest could help stave off the indecision.

Tumblr media
It’s the need for tools that brings him to your house on a Saturday afternoon, standing outside your pale green front door with his shades shielding his eyes from the warm spring sun. You hadn’t responded to his text of ‘are you home?’ and he briefly wonders if you had plans.
He knocks, waiting a beat before knocking again. Not home, then.
He works his keys from his back pocket and fingers through the different ones until he finds yours, slipping it into the lock and letting himself in. You wouldn’t mind – you never did.
You made it clear when giving him a key that he was free to come and go as he pleased, unlike Benny who was now on a strict policy to only let himself into your home with explicit permission after he ended up eating the leftovers you had saved and were excited to eat after work. The younger Miller barely survived that ordeal. 
He toes his boots off quietly by the door before making a move for your kitchen, knowing the last time he had his wrench set was when he fixed your shitty sink last week. You really need a new one – how many times did he need to fix that thing before you accepted that fact? So stubborn.
It’s when he’s rifling through your cupboard, his sunglasses discarded on the countertop, that he thinks he hears you calling to him. It was definitely his name, and it was definitely you… so maybe you were home. Looking around your place, you wouldn’t think so. No lights were on, no music or TV or any other sounds of life. Maybe you’d been sleeping?
A brief flash of guilt swims in his chest from disturbing you and he straightens, closing the cupboards softly and poking his head out of the kitchen, expecting you to be walking his way with that tender little smile that makes his heart launch into his throat every fucking time.
It was hard, reigning in the force of his not-so-little crush every damn time he saw you. You just worked so well as friends though, he didn’t want to risk ruining what you had with a relationship. And as far as he knew, you weren’t interested in seeing anyone. No… it was better to keep the bond you had as it was now. He’d only screw it up.
You’re nowhere to be found when he looks, and a frown starts to form between his brows.
You call for him again, and something deep in his gut stirs at the way you sound. Were you hurt?
A part of him seemingly knows it’s not that, but a wave of concern grows anyway and washes away the prickle of heat taking over his skin. He steps towards your room, studying the way the door falls open just a crack and your darkened room beyond.
He goes to speak, to reassure you it was him, but stops at the very faint sound of buzzing, a barely there hum filling the air. He wouldn’t have heard it if he wasn’t so focused on it. Another whimper of his name carries to his ears and it all hits him like lightning.
God, were you –
He sucks in a breath and his hands clench into fists at his sides, his mind now screaming at him to leave. This isn’t right, he shouldn’t be eavesdropping on something so personal, so intimate, like a damn creep.
He should absolutely leave. He should slip out as quickly and quietly as he did upon entering. He needs to leave. Right now. He should leave –
Why can’t he fucking move?
His jeans pull tighter as his cock swells within the confines of them, straining against the rough fabric and throbbing with each mental image his brain throws at him.
Were you completely nude? Were you still dressed, clothes merely shoved haphazardly out of the way in your desperation to get off? How were you positioned? Was it a bullet? A vibrating dildo? How did you look taking it?
“Shit,” he curses lowly, a small curl of disgust at himself building in his gut and snapping him free from the haze of lust and hunger filling his mind.
His hands itch to touch you, to follow your guidance and learn every little thing that makes your breath catch; your toes curl; your hands tighten in his hair until it feels like you’d pull it right out of his scalp…
No.
No, he needs to leave, but then… maybe you wouldn’t mind if he lets his presence known. You are calling for him, after all. It’s his name on your lips while you’re lost in whatever bliss you’re drowning yourself in. His name — no one else's. Does that mean you feel the same as him? Was it purely sexual? Was it –
Lost in the whirlwind of his thoughts, he doesn’t realise how close his leg comes to the vintage console table lining your wall. The corner of the solid timber catches his hip and the thing jolts, an already badly balanced frame falling at the sudden knock and it slaps face down loudly.
Fuck. Fucking fuck. 
The soft noise abruptly stops in your bedroom at the sudden disturbance, and he panics, smoothing his sweaty palms down his jeans and fixing the way they sit over his stiff cock. Hopefully they were tight enough to keep it hidden.
“Hey, it’s me.” He calls, fixing the frame and desperately trying to make it look like he hadn’t been eavesdropping on you getting yourself off.
“Frankie?”
His heart thunders at your voice.
It takes a few moments for you to get yourself together, and in those few moments he thinks of anything and everything to quell the wild erection straining against fly. Fuck, why won’t it go away?
Soon your bedroom door is pulled open and then there you are, your crumpled tee caught in the waistband of your sleep shorts, no doubt from being pulled on in a panic. He tears his eyes away from your body and forces a smile, desperately trying to calm the tremble in his hands.
“Sorry, I was just – I did knock… I thought you weren’t home. I’m just here to grab my wrench set.”
“Oh!” You breathe, clearing your throat softly and discreetly fixing the way your clothes cling to you. “Right. Sorry about that, I must’ve not heard you. Yeah I uh – I moved them into the garage. Um, they’re on the shelf… next to your drill.”
He nods, rocking back onto his heels and digging his hands into the front pockets of his jeans, hoping you don’t notice the way he positions his hands to make sure there’s no evidence of any sort of… obvious lumps.
His tongue runs along his lower lip, deliberating on whether or not to broach the topic. He could leave it right here – take his tools and just leave like the original plan had been. He could keep what you have and not make it awkward, not potentially risk losing the friendship you both had crafted…
Or he could take the risk. He could push it, just a little, and see where it goes. You were calling for him, you were thinking of him… that obviously meant you felt something surely. 
“Were you…”
Say it.
Say it, you fucking coward.
“Were you just masturbating?”
Mortification fills you with a flush of heat along your skin, flooding your cheeks and turning your face to flames. Your flight instinct rears to life in the back of your mind. God, he heard you. How could you explain this? Had he heard you saying his name? Moaning it? Was he uncomfortable?
Of course he’s uncomfortable! You inwardly cringe, your heart that had previously been erratic from your desperation in search of bliss, now hurried due to the panic growing in your chest. Your stomach lurches at the possibility of losing his friendship. You’d done so well hiding your crush over the time you’d known him, and now it was all falling apart.
“U-uh… no. Of course not! I was just –”
He watches you quietly, those beautifully deep, observant eyes flickering across your face as you desperately try to string together an excuse. He knows you’re lying. Of course he knows. He knows you better than anyone – a lie hurriedly crafted in the midst of your humiliation and panic would be all too easy for him to see through.
“Tell me,” he insists, his tone low and soft.
Something about the way he gazes at you, his eyes burning with something you just can’t place – hope? desire? – it gently coaxes the heat that had previously been dowsed back into a flame, settling low and churning in your core. It gives you a small shove of courage, and you squirm a little where you stand.
“Yes,” you admit quietly, “I was.”
He exhales sharply, his throat bobbing with a swallow as he nods, almost expectantly. “And who were you thinking of?”
“You, Francisco. I was thinking of you.”
Silence falls over the both of you, but it’s not uncomfortable. No, the air feels charged. You feel it run along the skin of the back of your neck and down along your spine, the darkening of his gaze building a strong tightening of anticipation in your chest. This can’t be happening… can it?
Finally – he moves, standing straighter and letting his gaze roll along your frame hungrily. “Want some help?”
What? Fuck.
You can’t get the word out quick enough.
“Yes –”
He moves instantly, striding forward and curling a large hand against your skin to cup your cheek before tilting your head and claiming your mouth. Fucking finally.
His moustache tickles in the best of way, as you always suspected. His lips are soft and supple against yours, quickly giving way to an urgency you endeavour to keep up with. You’re weak against him, the strong arm that curls around your back pulling at you until you’re flush against his body.
You surrender to the ferocity of his kiss, parting your lips at the gentle probe of his tongue and meeting it with your own. He groans softly into your mouth, your hands winding around his neck and twisting your fingers into his hair.
The breath leaves your lungs when his hand drops to palm your ass, his fingers digging harshly into the fleshy swell of it and it’s your turn to moan when you feel the noticeable solid bulge in his jeans, pressing and rubbing against your mound.
Still sensitive from your previous attention to it, your clit throbs with each eager grind against his hard cock, the desperate roll of your hips encouraged by the hand planted on your ass. The thin material of your sleep shorts allows you to feel the roughness of his jeans as if there were nothing there at all, and you’re suddenly incredibly thankful for skipping underwear in your hurry to get dressed.
“Is this a bad idea?” You breathe, breaking away from the greedy pursuit of his mouth and blinking at him with a shine of worry growing in your eyes.
Though everything feels so right in the moment, you feel the stirrings of anxiety creep along the edges of your mind.
You adore Frankie – you don’t think you’d cope very well with losing him. The mere idea of it births an ache deep in your chest and you wonder if your friendship would even be salvageable after rubbing up on each other like this. How could you ever act normal around him after feeling and tasting him the way you have?
He takes a moment to try and level his breathing, swiping his tongue along his lower lip and catching the remnants of your saliva. He fights the urge to dive back in for another taste of your mouth as his heart runs wild in his chest, trying to hold back the vicious denial building in his throat.
“I don’t know,” he returns quietly, searching your face for any clues as to your answer. “Is it?”
He waits, hanging suspended in the moment. Can you see the hope in his gaze? The devotion? Can you feel the way he’s wanted this for so long? 
“No,” you decide after a moment of studying him, your fingers toying with the short waves at the nape of his neck, rolling and twisting the silky soft strands. “I don’t think this is a bad idea.”
“No?”
You smile that smile and he feels his chest tighten at the adoring warmth of it. “It’s always been you, Frankie.”
He exhales lightly, the corners of his lips twitching below his moustache with the threat of a smile. His thumb brushes the skin of your cheek and you soak in the affectionate action, your heart wild against your ribs.
“It’s always been you.”

The following text, apparently one of a long series by the same author, was recovered off the coast of Cuba by cephalopod research group divers in local year 120 and was one of the earliest documents to be translated following the excavation of cetacean archives at the Rashid Site in 146 that allowed us to decrypt cephalopod. It remains essential to our understanding of cephalopod infrastructure capabilities and policy.
The chief monobrain is at it again. Evol Nrol has introduced his next grand new vision for the sea and beyond, to great acclaim from his various suckers and the media outlets he just happens to own. 55% of the planet just isn't enough apparently, our lords and masters are still looking for more untouched wilderness to pointlessly ruin. One begins to suspect that they just want somewhere to run away to, and one begins to wonder why. Just like last time, he wants to colonize Lake Baikal, because bad ideas never die, they just camouflage. In case it's not obvious, this will never work, and if it did it would still not work. Let's just glide over the 10 most obvious reasons this is impossible and insane from last time.
1) Lake Baikal is very far away. 2) Lake Baikal is very cold. 3) The water in Lake Baikal is basically poison. Life inside seapods would always be one breach away from rapid deionisation. 4) Lake Baikal either has scientific value, or it has octopus habitation. It can't have both. 5) Lake Baikal has nothing we need. As far as we know the thermal vents in Baikal have nothing we can't get much easier from existing vents, or even by creating synthentic vents. 6) Lake Baikal has too much water to salinify. This is the one they really haven't thought about. We don't have the minerals we would need. The quantity of sodium chloride alone would make a pile the size of Moai mount. Our best way to get the minerals is by evaporating the sea and moving the evaporate over, but at that point we could just as well build the evaporation pool, not build the levees, and just live there. On that note: 7) Clearly nobody's calculated the logistics on moving that much mineral. Have you tried lugging a mountain over land? 10) Lake Baikal is constantly being drained by a river and replenished by other rivers. It takes around 512 years to replace the entire volume of the lake. That's a long time, even by lake standards, at least. Still, anything you put in the water will dissipate at a rate of 1/512 per year at least. And at the scale of the initial investment, the maintenance cost in minerals alone would be unaffordable.
If you really wanted to go with the monumentally stupid idea of filling a lake with minerals to make more sea, there's a much better choice, of course. Lake Tanganyika is more accessible, warmer, smaller, still has thermal vents, and drains slower. In every respect it would be an easier choice, though still entirely impossible of course. But Evol couldn't go with that, because he's tying his consultants in knots attempting to salvage his whole "dredge the Yenisey 1km deep" idea from three years ago, which wouldn't have made sense with Tanganyika, and he's too arrogant to pick a new target to go with the new manateeshit plan. As always, impossible plans like these just vent ink over the infrastructure and housing investment we desperately need and already know how to do.

I know not everyone has read the Delicious in Dungeon World Guide: The Adventurer's Bible, but there's an interesting section I think even some folks who did missed when it comes specifically to Mithrun and what he can and cannot do in re: taking care of himself. Spoilers for the manga. (And obviously to each their own headcanon, but I'm just looking at what's in the canon text)
On p.73 of the Delicious in Dungeon World Guide: The Adventurer's Bible, there's this bit of text in Mithrun's character section, "Even though he has no desires, he still has routine habits, so he can handle everyday life on his own. However, when he's in a dungeon, he tends to neglect things like eating and sleeping." Nowhere in there does it say anything about him needing help to bathe or go to the bathroom. We know Cithis is assigned to look after him (so that he "doesn't collapse during missions." (p.82)). We know from Daydream Hour that he at least seemingly needed help to bathe while he was recovering. It's possible he's since gotten over this and can do it on his own (one targeted focus of Milsiril helping him was to get him to keep himself clean).
Another note is that while Cithis does kind of leave things vague when asking Kabru to "see to his needs" (p.144, Volume 9, Chapter 61), the only thing she specifically tells Kabru to do is make sure Mithrun eats. Kabru is the one who takes it a lot farther. And while, yes, carrying Mithrun to safety and making sure he rests properly is a lot more than feeding him, it's also not "make sure he goes to the bathroom regularly". You could argue Cithis was just being delicate or they didn't have time... But still. Cithis didn't say this. She just says, "Until we do, we'd like you to see to his needs. Food in particular! Three meals a day. If you feed him properly... ...we'll overlook this incident." And this matches what the Adventurer's Bible says. In the Cithis comic in the Adventurer's Bible, the only things we see Cithis telling Kabru to do are: eat, sleep, and switch out his clothes. While the clothes thing is kind of a question mark (and probably a joke), again: the only things we really see him having an issue/getting help with are really eating and sleeping properly. Principally, while it's clear he does need more help than just someone to feed him... the things we see Kabru do are adjacent to his eating and sleeping properly. Mithrun doesn't register a need to rest or eat, so he doesn't sleep or ask for food until he collapses. He's unable to sleep without aid (and a foot massage, to my knowledge, does not solve "uncomfortable but ignored need to go the bathroom"). And he generally tends to overuse his magic until he collapses. He doesn't like... collapse because he just forgot to go to the bathroom for too long. Nor does Kabru seemingly indicate that he smells.
Additionally, what does Cithis say when Mithrun is using his magic a lot on floor one: "We'll have to make sure Captain Mithrun eats soon. Once we're finished here, let's get some food in town." (p.146, Volume 8, Chapter 55). Again... all roads lead back to: he forgets to eat and sleep properly at least some of the time, and his comrades have to keep an eye on him for that. But that seems to kind of be it.
Where I think folks might be getting confused is in trusting Kabru's estimation of things a bit too much, and I do understand why. After all, he's the massage feet guy! He kept them alive (with Mithrun's help)! He helped Mithrun choose to live on! He knows his stuff!
...But that doesn't mean that Kabru is always right. In fact, he's not right a number of times in the manga (e.g., when he's describing Past!Mithrun in the Adventurer's Bible, or when he's trying to convince Laios to wait without explaining what happened to Marcille).
But let's start at the beginning: the one set of panels where it's left sort of open-ended whether or not Mithrun needs help to remember to go to the bathroom:
Tumblr media
(I personally imagine Mithrun just going along with it in the end might be due to the fact he's exhausted to the point of collapse, and just generally goes along with what other people want in these situations so long as it doesn't endanger his mission, such as with Cithis and Fleki)
I just think it's interesting it never seems to come up anywhere else that I'm aware of (even Daydream Hour doesn't show the caretakers going to that level of care, though I imagine he would at least need help getting out of his bonds to go to the bathroom), nor do we see how this specific scenario - Kabru literally dragging Mithrun out of bed to go to the bathroom while Mithrun protests he's doesn't need to go - turned out. The scene literally fades to black while they're running; not that I'd expect Kui to draw Mithrun doing his business or Kabru forcefully encouraging him to, but it does still leave it more open-ended than clear-cut. You could argue that because bathroom stuff grosses people out a lot (though I've seen shounen mangaka draw it so it's not like it's unheard of), bringing it up once and only once and solely for a gag works, but also only showing this much and not bringing it up again makes sense as well, so the fact that it isn't clear-cut + isn't brought up again doesn't necessarily mean that Kabru was wrong in his belief that Mithrun needed this help, so much as it's practical storytelling...
But also it still leaves open the idea that Kabru was wrong. Because while Kabru is often right about things, he isn't right all the time (especially when he panics). And one of the notable times he was panicking about something, Mithrun was the one who slapped him to his senses.
Tumblr media
(I mean part of it was probably revenge for Kabru knocking him out at Sissel's home earlier but the point still stands). This isn't even the first time Mithrun calls out Kabru's wild imagination: it's technically the second/third.
Also as astroloquacious pointed out in the notes: Kabru's role model for caretaking was Milsiril, who was notably overbearing. Specifically before he is thrust into working with and then looking after Mithrun, he recalls a memory of Milsiril being overbearing in her caretaking of Kabru, and how he would rather stay in Merini with its dangers than return to that life. He probably internalized some of the stuff he disliked about her. And if Milsiril, who is a lot older than Kabru, can get stuff wrong about his needs, then who's to say that Kabru doesn't get stuff wrong about Mithrun's needs?
tldr; Believe what you want about this aspect of Mithrun's lifestyle. Not showing a thing doesn't make a heavily implied thing untrue. But I think the Adventurer's Bible is pretty clear. Also, according to the complete Adventurer's Bible, it seems Pattadol is still helping him a little post-Merini, and he's clearly not averse to having a helper (e.g., Fleki). I just don't think it's necessarily factual that Kabru is right in that Mithrun needs this level of care/attention in this particular area, particularly outside a dungeon.

Prosecutors in B.C. have withdrawn cases against nearly 150 protesters who were arrested for participating in a blockade around old-growth logging on Vancouver Island after a judge this year found Mounties did not read the full text of a court order to the group.
A statement from the B.C. Prosecution Service on Thursday confirmed cases against 146 protesters have been dropped because their ability to succeed was "placed in doubt" by a ruling that acquitted protester Ryan Henderson in February.
"Those cases are now concluded as a result of this ruling," read an email to CBC News.
The confirmation comes hours after the Supreme Court of Canada said it would not hear the Crown's appeal of the Henderson decision, marking the end of the legal road for prosecutors trying to keep the cases against protesters alive. [...]

So, apparently the new Lorcana card just dropped and Hans is now in the storyline, working for Ursula, which is OMG
But also, Hans, mate... where are you?
Did you just break into the Arendellian castle? And into Kristoff's bedroom? Do you have a deathwish, you absolute nut?
How have you managed to do that, have you just climbed over the walls like an assassin?? Or have you just picked a lock? Or both?!
Have you disguised yourself as a peppernut cookie salesman again?!

OFF THE RECORD ; AHN YUJIN ONE-SHOT
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
you’ve been chatting with an online friend for about 2 years, you knew them as their alias ‘ahnz’, they never posted their face but you knew almost everything about them. but, did you really know what they were saying was true?
Tumblr media
it’s been about two years since you turned to online friends instead of real life ones. the ones you made offline were just complete assholes. it was always when you needed your real life friends the most is when you realized how fake they were.
you’d call one of your friends, lim dahye, sobbing uncontrollably, begging for her to distract you from your parents fighting. yet, all you got on response from her, “sorry, who are you again?” while you heard giggles in the background. you had considered her a closest friend, but all you received was humiliation.
the closest friend you made throughout the two years online was ahnz. the only thing you knew about them was they were a year older than you and that they, or well she, was a girl.
you had given her a nickname “hannie” and you were happy to know that she thought the nickname was cute and that she liked it.
the more the two of you talked, the closer you two got. you felt like you could trust her, although, you hadn’t met her in person. she just seemed different, not like the other people you had trusted before.
there was one night that your parents started to fight when you received a text from ahnz, you had nicknamed her in your phone as ‘hannie’ since the app you used, let you.
she had sent you a link to a girl group performance, the thumbnail had a girl with short hair poking her cheek. “she’s so pretty, her makeup looks amazing...” you spoke in awe.
you stood up to grab your wired earbuds, since you couldn’t afford wireless ones, and watched the performance. it was a very useful distraction from the fighting going on.
hannie: y/n, check out this video :o [link]
y/n: omg, they’re amazing performers!!
y/n: wish i was that good lol
hannie: don’t say that! i’m sure you’re amazing at it :(
y/n: i see their group name is ive, how do you pronounce that? like i’ve?
hannie: i hear people pronouncing it ivy or i’ve, i guess it’s a matter of preference? idk though
hannie: which member caught your eye?
y/n: hmm, the one with the short hair with bangs. she had so much charisma and just looked fierce! she’s so pretty~
after you’d sent that message, you realized ahnz went quiet. so, while you waited for a response, you decided to watch some more videos of the group she had sent you.
———
the next day, during class, you received a call from hannie. your teacher, mrs. lee, gave a stern look towards you. “no phone calls during class, miss seo.”
you nodded before answering the call, “sorry, mrs. lee. it’s... an emergency.” your quick answer made her give you a nod, “go out in the hall then, y/n.”
“hannie, what’s going on?” your concerned tone rung in her ears, “y/n, are you able to... meet up...?” she asked, her voice quiet.
“what?”
“are you able to meet up with me?”
the question hung on a string. a string that was about to snap clean in half. you felt your heartbeat increase as you weren’t sure what to answer. sure, you’ve talked to her for two years, but you’ve only thought about meeting up once.
you weren’t sure if you were ready to meet her.
“y/n?” her voice entered your senses again, making you gasp softly.
“ah, sorry-” you barely let out a whisper as you apologize quietly. “y/n, if you’re able to meet up, please come to 4-5, samseong-ro 146-gil, gangnam-gu, seoul. it should be nearby you, yeah?” you hum giving her the confirmation she needed.
“see you then, hannie.”
you walked back into class and all eyes were on you, “so?” your teacher stares you down, waiting for some kind of response.
“what?”
your teacher huffs in annoyance, “what was so important?” your thoughts quickly scramble to make up an excuse, “ah- my grandmother passed away.” you give off a weak smile to keep your act straight as your teachers eyebrows narrow.
“i thought your grandmother passed last year?” it was true, but you had an excuse up your sleeve, “that was on my mother’s side, the recent one is on my father’s.”
mrs. lee quickly gave an apology, which you accepted. she didn’t know it was a lie after all.
———
after your classes came to an end, you found yourself in front of the building that hannie suggest you meet up in. but, it was starship entertainment? you weren’t sure why she’d ask to meet up here.
you shrugged before hitting an intercom, that looked very high-tec. you watched as it lit up and noticed a very small camera, recording your presence outside.
“come in,” a female voice is heard thru the intercom as the fancy doors opened to let you in.
“oh- t-thank you...?” you struggled to sound genuine as you were still, very confused. just why did hannie want to meet here?
you hesitantly entered the tall building and nervously looked around. you felt you stood out against the rest, but not in a good way.
you felt very underdressed, everyone else looked as if they were wearing designer clothes (they probably were), you didn’t feel like you fit in.
a taller figure was approaching you with a smile and it felt like time slowed down as you took in their physique. she was nearly 6-feet tall, her smile was very charming, alluring. her hair was on the shorter side, seemed to be a wolfcut. she has a leather jacket on, seemed to be in the middle of recording something, but you weren’t totally sure.
she looked exactly like the female from the fancan video hannie had sent you. just what was hannie playing at?
“hello, are you y/n?” the tall female looked at you with the same charming smile she approached with. with a slow nod, you gave her the confirmation she needed.
“i can’t believe we’re finally meeting each other! my name is ahn yujin,” she leaned in to whisper in your ear, “you know me as hannie~” the teasing tone of her voice made you jolt back, surprised that the female was actually hannie.
“h-hannie?” your voice was failing you. the sudden surprise of learning she’s your closest online friend was big, you could barely let out your voice.
she gave a simple nod before saying, “you can call me yujin now!”. she reached for your wrist, making your pull it back without thinking.
her eyebrows furrowed and yujin looked down at the ground, “ah, i’m sorry. this must be a shock..”
you nodded, “very shocking, i mean i was just watching a fancam of you a few days ago.”
yujin let out a giggle, “i wanted to know your thoughts~” she lightly punched your arm with that same smile.
faking hurt, you grabbed your arm and yelped in pain, “you pain me, yujin!” you laughed, before noticing yujin was looking at you with wide-eyes.
“what?”
“you called me yujin this time,” her voice seemed filled with emotion. what emotion? you couldn’t read it.
you shrugged “you told me i could.”
yujin pulled you in for a tight bear hug, “this makes me so happy! i can’t wait to introduce you to the others~”
you smiled as you gave the same amount of strength into the hug, “already? we just met~” you teased as you received a pinch in response.
Tumblr media
A/N: maybe there will be a part two? we shall find out in the future. i do like how this turned out, did you guys enjoy?

Saint Louis of the Vieux Carré —an LDPDL fan event
A month-long creative challenge to celebrate Louis's 146th birthday, this October 4th. Starting October 1st and through the whole month, we'll be celebrating AMC IWTV's Louis de Pointe du Lac, who turns 146 this year! 
Starting October 1st, you’ll be able to see the fan creations shared as part of the event in the tag, here »
31 prompts
day 1. humanity | human life
day 2. crossover
day 3. confession | penance
day 4. through the decades
day 5. hunger | feeding habits
day 6. canon divergence
day 7. memory | keepsake
day 8. fashion
day 9. epistolary | handwritten
day 10. missing scene
day 11. literature | intertext
day 12. intoxication
day 13. floral | the last bouquet

How does this event work?
Every day of the month has an assigned prompt. The real challenge is to try and create something new for each day and each prompt.
But, of course, that is an ambitious goal! There are easier options.
If you...
create only one thing, or two, or three
only create something for two or three of these prompts
create something for a prompt but post it a few days later
don’t follow the prompts at all
...you’re still participating —as long as your creation is about Louis de Pointe du Lac, as portrayed by Jacob Anderson. 
And Louis's character exists in relation with others, of course! So your contribution could be a portrait of the entire du Lac family, a playlist about one of his romantic relationships, a comic about his relationship with Claudia from her point of view, etc.
If Louis is at the heart of your creation, then your piece is in the spirit of this event.
This challenge isn’t limited to fanfiction or fanart!
Your contributions as a fan don’t have to be restricted to the most usual mediums. Beyond fanfic and fanart, some things that you may decide to create include: fanmixes, moodboards, gifsets, photomanips and graphics; fanedits and AMVs; meta and analysis in written, audio or video form; poetry, music, a blog post about your headcanons, your meta, or your favorite fanworks; and anything else you can think of. 
Your creations can be related to your own or others’ existing work as well —if, for example, you want to use one of the prompts to add to an existing fanfiction series, or as inspiration for fanart of your favorite fic, that’s totally within the scope of this challenge! 
You can start working on your creations for this challenge with as much (or as little) anticipation as you like, but remember to hold off from sharing them until the event starts. And, if you are taking inspiration from a prompt, we encourage you to share your work on that day.
Reblog or repost this text and graphic to spread the love; and don't forget to tag your posts with #IWTVfanevents or tag @iwtvfanevents so we can share them on the blog, and add them to the collection on AO3: Happy birthday LDPDL!

dumb HOL notes
House in other languages is highlighted blue as well. This includes Haus and Maison as seen in footnote 146.
In addition, Housing, Courthouse, and Houses are only highlighted partially!
I initially made this discovery in chapter 9 (evidently lol) and IMMEDIATELY tried to find Casa (Spanish for house/home). It's not in chapter 9 unfortunately and I haven't seen it yet...
THIS brings me to another point of highlighting! House is highlighted while Home is not! While this could be chalked up to an out-of-universe reason, I prefer to think that Home is used more to refer to the location as a living space, i.e. the meant-to-be, while House is the location as either an abstract or an entity, i.e. the house itself could be considered a minotaur's labyrinth-esque entity itself, considering how Navidson and his crew get lost in there so much, and one could consider Holloway to be the Minotaur; or rather, Minos' child, abandoned in the labyrinth because of a trait he couldn't change.
Footnote 123 is a key, Footnote 295 is meant to be a sword (the missing text shatters the sword in two), and I swear I saw a keyhole somewhere but correct me if I'm wrong (I'm on page 386 currently!)
