Sexiest Podcast Character — Unscripted Bracket — Round 4

Propaganda

Glenn Close (Dungeons & Daddies):

#Propaganda for Glenn Close: one of the other PCs mentions multiple times how hot he is #Actually several characters point it out but especially Henry #Also the only person in a podcast that has to put a disclaimer about not being a BDSM podcast to have had sex during the course of the show

We didn’t do hot Glenn summer for him to LOSE. Spoilers for his story but MORE PROPAGANDA FOR YOU:

Young hot rocker dilf

Loyal to his dead wife <3

Does in fact smoke weed

BARD!! HES A BARD. HE WAS LEAD GUITAR IN HIS BAND (that he was kicked out of)

His band was a Christmas cover band btw.

Literally the fandom had hot Glenn summer which consisted of drawing him being incredibly hot and sexy

Anti government (ofc)

Kind of cringefail (Disney adult) (was on dilfs of disneyland)

Young and sexy not your style? Then how about HIM AFTER YEARS LOCKED IN A TIME PRISON WITH A DAMN HANNIBAL MASK ??

Lost an eye and wears a fucking eyepatch

One incredibly buff arm

Has a pet rat named after his son <3

Immeasurable amounts of trauma in this man- becomes progressively more unhinged

OH OLD HUMAN BARD ISNT CUTTING IT? FINE

HE BECOMES A FUCKING DEMON

A COOL HOT ONE-EYED DEMON WHO WANTS TO KILL HIS DAD (also sexy)

HE CANONICALLY ENDS CHRISTIAN HELL VIA CHRISTMAS

IS ALSO WAY OVERLEVELED

Becomes a demon hunter for the rest of his existence

Also nonwhite !!! We are done with cringefail whiteboys !!!!!!!!!

I can’t put into words ok just know he is the best plz love him.

Listen, I don't know this other character but I've seem some good arguments for her However Consider Glenn Close winning through no effort of his own in a bullshit way despite being a dick is the most in character thing ever. He leveled up three times and got a crab mech, we GOT to give him this win, it's fitting

I don’t regulate if minors follow me or not bc I’m a pretty chill space but I hope the world is aware that’s the only reason I haven’t been downright nasty about Glenn close. I’m down bad. I’m NOT in the boat of ‘Glenn isn’t sexy but I want him to win bc it’s my fandom’. I would estimate I have 200+ drawings of Glenn on my phone that AREN’T safe for work. Way more that are. Where did they come from? That’s MY business. But I tell you this fact to assure you- Glenn IS sexy. I’m not voting to represent my fandom I’m voting out of TRUTH AND LOVE. IF YOU DON’T GET IT YOU DON’T GET IT!!! I just think my level of feral over this man is more powerful than y’all realize. If you don’t get his sex appeal that’s okay, but don’t doubt that this is my truth.

Okay but Glenn made a minivan cum by talking to her so

HE HAS A BOOK THAT HE MARKS X’S AND CHECKS FOR EVERY DAY TO SEE IF THAT DAY WAS A SUCCESS OR NOT. TO SEE IF HE DID GOOD THAT DAY. ITS ALMOST ENTIRELY X’S. HE WAS CUCKED OUT OF A SON. AND A DEAD WIFE. HE DIDN’T EVEN GET TO KILL HIS DAD IN REVENGE. There’s absolutely nothing going for him except his sex appeal in his life. Nobody he loved remembers him. He lost his eye. All he has is a pet rat and friends who admit they don’t really like him that much. He was kicked out of his own band. The band was named after him. He was kicked out of the Glenn Close trio. All he could do was deez nuts the big bad and be sexy. If nothing else, then pity him. Look in his eyes. Look at his heart and soul. Do you think pickman needs this to feel good about herself? Can she not accept a loss for the sake of a pathetic father? Can she shake hands with the minivan fucker and his human gun and just take the L on this one? He did not do the BDSM episode for this I’ll tell you what. Do this for my his sake. Do it for Nick Jr, who needs the prize money to pay for his rat snacks. Do it for his son. For Morgan. Ganbatte.

Mod Note: While I will still take "bad dads are sexy" propaganda and "bad dads aren't sexy" anti-propaganda, I kindly request no more discussion on whether or not he was a bad father. This is a sexypoll, not a parentingpoll. If you see a post you strongly disagree with, you can just not reblog it.

Mod Note 2: This tournament is about fictional podcast characters. Please do not vote for the real actress Glenn Close.

Lup (The Adventure Zone: Balance):

Is somehow the hot twin between her and Taako

Lup Bluejeans (née... Taaco? Tacco? Taco? Tako? who tf knows this is why I'm going with her husband's last name. doylistly she gets her last name from her brother whose last name is given as "Taako again but spelled differently"): Hot, funny, smart and undead. Is there anything else you could want in a woman?? Well, in case there is: she's also canonically trans

LUP IS THE HOTTEST. VOTE LUP.

nawwwhh man you aint gotta feel bad about not doin sicktember. im bein real here, i thought i was and i did like 3, so i aint either. but if you really do want me to request one, i'd probably do psychogenic fever/stress induced illness with madix bein sickie bc itd relate to me personally the most (bc i always get stress sick and i'd love to see madix sick witb it too (bonis point if dakota take care of him GOD i loved the fic where dakote took care of him))

Hey man, thanks for always being there and loving my fics. I hope you like this one even though it's nearly two fucking years late I swear.

This fic is set in the past when Madix and Dakota are in school together.

CW: Graphic description of vomiting! It's seriously so gross I love it lol.

-------------------

A flood of relieved students rushed past Dakota. He swam against the current looking for Madix among the test-takers. Since it was 2pm, they were no longer test-takers, but the sea of knowledge inside their brains would still be there until the PTSD of organic chemistry was washed away by time.

Dakota knew how anxious Madix had been for this final. The dreaded Orgo Chem kept his roommate up for the past three nights. It was a known fact that this second-year course was a killer, and Madix’s prof was a distinguished serial killer. Many students retook Orgo in the summer, trying for that passing grade with perhaps a more lenient prof.

With the hallway now empty—all the students having left—it was easy for Dakota to find Madix. He hadn’t expected his friend to stick around after the final was over, but there he was sitting on the floor by the large windows. Madix looked like a crab, trying to find safety in the shell of his hunched over back. He had his head in his hands and was rubbing his temples as if the trauma of the exam pooled behind his eyes.

“Hey, how did it go?” It was a very pointless question given that Madix was curled into a question mark.

“Fuck if I know,” Madix slurred as he slid his hands down his face. “I keep going over every question, doubting my answers.”

“Well, it’s over now so you don’t need to think about it.” It worried Dakota how glassy and fragile Madix’s eyes looked, like he was about to cry or explode into flames. His cheeks were pale and sunken too.

“I need a 73 to pass the class.”

Dakota squinted. “Mmh sounds like you’re still thinking about it.”

Madix dropped his hands to his side. “I can’t stop. That exam is all I’ve been thinking about for the last week. I haven’t even had time to study for Anatomy tomorrow.”

With a sigh, Dakota sat down on the floor next to his friend. “I brought you something to take your mind off studying.” From behind his back, Dakota revealed a fast-food bag from the student lounge. It was Madix’s favourite place to get comfort food because of the crispy fries, the juicy burger, and the creamy milkshake. Madix didn’t like to indulge that craving too often because it was a greasy cheat meal that often left him feeling bloated, but Dakota thought it would be a nice gesture since Madix had hardly eaten anything leading up to this exam.

He was about to hand his friend the grease-wrapped gift, but hesitated. The heat coming off Madix’s body was alarming. Dakota could feel the waves just sitting next to him. A quick touch to Madix’s forehead with the back of his hand told Dakota that he’d been neglecting his roommate.

“Shit, Mads, you’re burning up. I didn’t know you were sick all this time.”

“I’m not sick.” Like a starving animal, Madix reached for the bag of food, but Dakota held it out of his reach.

“Bullshit. You can deny it all you want, but your head’s on fire, buddy.”

“I know.”

Dakota couldn’t stop his lecture now, as if the two of them hadn’t heard enough lecturing the whole year. “You’re the one in pre-med, you should know—wait what?”

Madix sighed at the theatrics of his friend. “I’ve had a fever for three days. It’s not going away.” He rubbed his own forehead, feeling the familiar yet puzzling temperature. “I don’t have any other symptoms. I think it’s from stress.”

It was honestly the oddest feeling. Madix could feel himself cooking from the inside. His cells buzzed like the many diagrams of excited particles when submitted to heat. But there was nothing else to indicate a virus or infection. His throat was fine; his nose was clear. If anything, he was infected with school. Perhaps his nose was clogged with equations and his throat was sore from reciting textbook chapters.

Dakota looked skeptical. “So, you gave yourself a fever from worrying?”

“Yes, it’s a medical mystery. They should name a disease after me. Anyway, gimme burger.” Madix reached for the food like a child with grubby fingers.

Dakota scooted away from his friend, taking the prize with him. “I don’t know, Mads. You really don’t look well. I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to eat something so heavy.”

“Come on. You know I’ve been surviving on goldfish crackers.” It was only now that he could smell the fries and beef that Madix realized how hungry he was. His stomach was aching for something substantial. “Besides, I need the energy to study for Anatomy. It’s tomorrow by the way.”

“Tomorrow? But you just had orgo.”

“I have a shit exam schedule this year.” Madix pouted. “Please, Kota. It will make me feel better.”

Finally, Dakota relented. He had bought it for Madix after all. But now he was worried that it was the exact opposite of what the overworked boy needed.

He watched Madix stuff his face with his first real meal in 72 hours. The burger disappeared in record time. Fatty juices glistened on Madix’s chin as he dug into the fries. His fingers were coated in grease and fry seasoning by the time he was done. In between each mouthful, he took longs slurps of the Oreo milkshake.

“You wanna slow down there, bud?” Dakota asked incredulously. There wasn’t much more to eat at this point.

Madix dragged his sleeve over his mouth and shook his head. “Have to start studying soon.” He swallowed the last bite of fries and sucked at the last remnants of the milkshake. Madix let out a long burp at the end and sighed.

“I’m not gonna lie, that was impressive.” Dakota couldn’t believe his eyes. “You’re getting more colour in your cheeks.” Maybe the meal really had been a good thing. “But I’m still worried about this voodoo fever though.”

“It won’t go away until the exams do.”

‘Then neither will I.” Dakota stood firm in this decision. He wasn’t going to let Madix get burnt out…literally. His hardest exams were done, so he could keep a closer eye on Madix now. “I’ll study with you in the library.”

“You don’t have to, Kota. I’ll be fine.”

“I want to.”

By the tone of Dakota’s voice, Madix could tell that he wasn’t going to win this one. “Fine, but we’re studying in the red zone.”

“Not the red zone! Anything but that.”

Madix shrugged. “You’re the one who insisted on babysitting.”

• • •

The red zone was the fourth circle of hell—also known as the library during exam season.

It was the quietest level of the building, reserved exclusively for students to study in absolute silence. No talking, no phones, you couldn’t even sneeze without getting dirty looks. You could hear a pencil drop and then watch that pencil be escorted out of the red zone.

As someone with ADHD, Dakota hated the red zone. He much preferred the orange or yellow zone. At least in the orange zone, you could whisper and cough without being shunned. The yellow zone allowed for conversation and anxious tapping. He admitted that the green zone was definitely not ideal for studying. That was the first level of the library were students could openly cry over their exams or practice for their theater final that involved a murder scene.

Dakota pretended to zip his lips and throw away the key. He shoved his hands into his pockets to keep them from moving on their own.

Madix on the other hand had no issue keeping his mouth shut. The nausea forced his lips together.

The fast food was quickly catching up to him, staying true to its name even inside his stomach. It hadn’t taken long before the burger, fries, and milkshake resisted digestion. The meal churned in his belly like a wad of chewing gum.

The red zone was popular during this time of year, so Madix and Dakota hunted for two chairs next to each other. They found a long table with many students already studying there, but luckily there were two empty spots across from each other. Madix was grateful to be sitting across from Dakota so that he could rub his upset stomach discreetly.

Unfortunately, the red zone was not a good place to have a gurgly tummy. The girl next to Madix gave him the stink eye when the organ groaned, tossing chewed up cow inside his gut. He felt grease sticking to his throat and hot burps in his chest. He pushed down every belch lest he be escorted out of the level.

The words of the anatomy textbook swam across the page. Madix felt his fever ignite with a vengeance. Now he was dizzy, disoriented, and disgustingly full. There was heat behind his eyes that turned his vision to soup. Everything he needed to know for the exam was right in front of him in the book, but the letters became alphabet stew on a white background.

He dared not look up at his friend in fear that Dakota would see right through him.

Dakota could not study in such an environment, so naturally he saw every twinge of nausea flash across Madix’s expression. His poor friend was not having a good time. Madix’s cheeks were now flushed bright red, and beads of sweat gathered on his brow.

In the dead quiet of the library, he could hear Madix’s stomach struggle to digest the heavy meal. Dakota kicked himself for giving into Madix’s begging. The nausea was no doubt thwarting his efforts at studying which created a vicious cycle of stress and pain.

Dakota did a quick doodle in his notebook and passed it to Madix. He was quite proud of his drawing and had to keep in a chuckle.

Madix frowned at the drawing. Along the top were the words Green Zone Now? Below Dakota’s messy handwriting was a drawing of a green-faced emoji. Its cheeks were ballooned with vomit. It seemed he wasn’t hiding his ailment so well.

On the same page, Madix wrote back I’m fine. Must study. Madix didn’t think he needed to go to the green zone, despite what his complexion said. He could control his stomach. The food would stay down; it had to.

Dakota gave Madix a disappointed look when he got the note back. Why must he be so stubborn? Dakota had to drop the matter. Aside from physically picking up his friend, he didn’t see any other way of convincing Madix to take a break for the sake of his health. He wasn’t going to be making any compelling arguments in the red zone.

Madix tried to ignore his blistering fever and his unhappy guts.

Systemic Anatomy was hard to study for when he was so keenly aware of his digestive system. He imagined partially digested fries mixing with the gastric juices in his belly. His body went through the steps with much difficulty.

The muscular organ was literally in the process of contracting itself to squeeze all the nutrients out of the fast food. Madix did not like the squeezing. He hugged his aching middle and laid his head on the table in defeat.

It didn’t seem likely that the food would continue on to his intestines. His stomach couldn’t handle the greasy meal after days of hardly anything to eat. On top of all this, his body was too busy fighting a made-up virus called stress. The stress was very real, but his immune system was taking it too literally. It was no wonder why he couldn’t keep the meal down.

Madix couldn’t stop the burp from coming up. It burst from his mouth, splashing the back of his throat with acid. The girl next to him shushed him. Her expression was as sour as his stomach. He didn’t have the will to apologize for the noise. Regardless, he wouldn’t have had the chance to say sorry anyway because another burp filled his mouth with sticky saliva.

Dakota looked up quickly to see Madix hunched over his chair and gagging into his hand. Another sickly belch bubbled up, draining the colour from Madix’s face.

Before Dakota could do anything, he watched Madix lurch forward with a loud heave. Thick vomit spewed from his mouth and fell onto the table in front of him. The sick quickly spilled onto Madix’s lap.

“Oh, shit Maddy,” Dakota cooed as he came to his friend’s side. He didn’t bother with the anti-social etiquette of the red zone, not that it mattered though because everyone in their vicinity bolted from the room. No one wanted to risk catching whatever Madix had during their exams.

Madix coughed and sputtered. Scandalous! He could only moan miserably before the muscles in his belly contracted again, sending up another wave of mushy fries and curdled milkshake. Dark flecks of Oreo and beef dotted the sick.

“Oh God…” Madix choked out. “I can’t stop.”

Dakota rubbed his friend’s back while trying not to look at the growing pool of vomit that was…everywhere. “It’s okay, buddy. Just let it out.” The same heat from before lived beneath Madix’s skin. Dakota could feel the fever through his clothes. “No one is here. You’re good. Do what you need to do.”

Madix’s belly gave another deep lurch. The pressure forced the undigested food up his open esophagus. If this wasn’t the best way to study the digestive system, then Madix didn’t know what else to do besides open himself up like a cadaver.

His fever made the room spin around him. If he had any sort of receptacle, he probably would have missed. Luckily, he had no issue catching his notebook, his lap, and his shoes in the process.

“Good job,” Dakota encouraged. He patted Madix’s back firmly. “Get it all out. Get that stress out too while you’re at it.”

Madix had to admit that there was something cathartic about this purge. He felt lighter with each bout that left his body. He gave over to his subconscious mind and let his body do what it needed to do. He probably should have listened to the hunger and sleep cues before this, but he was listening now to the Get Out cues.

If stressed looked like a melted Oreo milkshake then it was certainly no longer in his body. He tried to imagine the pressure and the expectations and the need for validation leaving his body along with the vomit.

When Madix caught a break, he couldn’t help but give a chuckle. “This is the red zone. I just puked in the red zone.”

Dakota laughed with him. “All over it really.” He looked around at the empty room. “You scared everyone away. They must think you have the plague.”

“I think we’re all infected with it. This pressure—it’s an epidemic, man.”

“Don’t go turning into a philosopher.” Dakota took a step back from his friend. It wasn’t a good view, but he was happy to see Madix’s shoulders relaxed. “Do you need anything? Water? Sleep?”

“Both.” Madix slowly stood up from his chair, cringing at the wetness that made his shirt cling to his body. “But I think I better find someone who works here.” Madix rubbed the back of his neck. “Guess I should have listened to you, huh?”

“Let’s discuss my vast amount of wisdom when everything’s cleaned up, shall we?"

Oh bro, scarlex #4evaaa 😤😤 (the ART for that pairing bro lmao, I love women for their weird passions so much). I am considering an AO3 account purely to do a chapter by chapter review/commentary for you lololol. I probably should just do it, the whole reason I haven’t is some teenage-born fear of the cops somehow interrogating me for some unrelated shit (????) and this sort of tomfoolery comes up bc they’ve seen my phone shit and next thing you know, dateline has me on blast for my risqué reading tastes smh 😔 it does not make sense in any way (like gorl it’s too late for your online trail, you’re already ruined) and I need to get over myself lmao

and no need to apologize for not writing his POV, you gotta do what you gotta do, bro. But I share the sentiment of “oh this absolute biTCH BOI” when I read his thoughts Lmfao. Friggy’s lack of a part 2 was devastating. I am unwell over it. I need Allison to have some goddamn agency. I have since branched out in my search and looked at ffn for content 🙂 which brings me to my next questiooooon, have you read a story called Cold Hands? It’s the first of a 3 part series, and although the premise had me kinda like ehhhh, I think it’s pretty good! I’m only just in the second part, but it’s a good time.

I would actually die if I had to interact with murder crab men tbh. It couldn’t be me, would simply perish of fright, so I’m glad you understand LOL.

Bro the space pond- that shit was delightful. I ENJOYED that, like Charlie needed a win and now she has a little spa/swimming pool/ oasis situation she’ll hopefully get more access to 😎 the tail, shit, I’m about here like 👀what that tail do👀👀

You should definitely feel free to post from that board of ta’kesh 👀 I am curious. also, finding out you are into mando is so funny when seeing the similarities between mandalorians and Yautjas 💀💀💀that shit killed me, I was like this woman knows what she’s about!

I look forward to more good soup 😊

me reading your play by play if you do (but also I understand cause I’ll cry if I’m ever traditionally published and someone’s like ‘hey did you write about fcking the predator’)

I haven’t heard of cold hands but now I wanna check it out!!

the tail do {redacted} ☺️ and yes mando (read masked men) in general really do it for me — probably has to do w years of trying to decipher and cater to others’ emotional swings and loving the idea of Not that🤪 and then them being absolutely ruled by a strict code that they then twist or break for the sake of affection????? BROOOO SIGN ME TF UPPPPP 😤👏🏼 💳💳💥💥

(I forgot to drop fanart, none of it is mine just Pinterest sourced and I’d tag them if I knew)

*update* wonderful @predatorperspective said these are from

say more or everything about the animals at the marine science center

ugh i wish i had more time bc there’s SO MUCH! i’ll try to do some highlights though

giant pacific octopuses are the largest known species and they’re VERY smart, which is relatively common knowledge. they also have green blood because theirs is copper-based instead of iron like ours, they have three hearts, and can fit through a hole the size of a quarter (which makes actually KEEPING THEM IN THEIR GD TANKS VERY HARD, because they can survive outside of water for up to 10 minutes) (i’m also convinced that the only reason they haven’t advanced more as a species is because they’re terminal breeders — the longest any individual will live is ~5 years)

graceful crabs are cute and purple and if you hang out with them long enough you will discover that they have distinct personalities

if you pick up a moon snail that was sitting in the water to relocate it will expel a volume of water akin to niagara falls and you will not be able to understand the physics of how on earth there was that much water in there, why isn’t it stopping

if you handle california sea slugs too much they will get upset and start floating

it is possible to debate for weeks whether one of your fish is a skate or a flounder

it is also possible to debate for weeks whether your moray is a male or female

leather stars are beautiful and will eat ANYTHING if it can catch it. and they can move faster than you think they can.

working at a marine science center will make you VERY knowledgeable about the anatomy of squid because you will have to break down frozen ones and cut them into 1mm-cubic pieces to feed to all of the tiny animals

giant pacific octopuses do not like frozen squid very much, and if they find a way into the touch tank to eat all of the graceful crabs they will. this can be prevented if you give the octopus at least a little bit of dungeness every day to placate

#because octopuses are terminal breeders we also always released ours back into the puget sound at 3 years #so they could complete their life cycle #zoe stuff #asks #thanks for asking it was so fun to reminisce! i definitely have more but i think i need to be looking at the animal #for the knowledge to appear to me again

Went to a pride party, absolutely fucking crashed and burned several times at socialization and I apologized to my friend for being Terrible At Parties and my friend goes “you really ARE bad at talking I can’t believe I never noticed it! That feels like this one is on me!” And honestly I think that was the first time anyone has ever taken responsibility for my anxiety and for some reason I do not understand at ALL it made me feel REALLY good about myself ya kno like it was the equivalent of taking your friend who you know damn well hates shellfish to a crab shack and not understand why they’re annoyed as they pick at their shitty ass salad. Like yeah man my anxiety is YOUR problem bro not mine.

Uh anyways so all that anxiety + anxiety from the event we had today - which went really well!!! I’m actually really happy with how it went! We put a lot of hard work into it and it really paid off! - and also generally my anxiety has been awful lately + the amount of pot I consumed at that party bro if I would have realized they were gonna be that free and loose with the weed I would have brought an ice pack, propped my leg up on a chair, and started smoking the moment I came in so I could have lasted longer!!!! = I have been like uh ~talking with a dude and I’m being very careful because Im actually Very careful on the internet, sometimes in weird ways, and I know there are ways I could be safer for sure, but I also think that while my anxiety has hindered my ability to date in a lot of ways, once or twice it has helped me realize that there was a red flag I missed not too far away and then I bailed and it was the RIGHT decision. This guy wasn’t talking down to me, we were sort of disagreeing about serious stuff so it was tense but we weren’t arguing, just discussing and finding we had different world views on something. And then I made a joke about how I just wanted them to raise the minimum wage bc my rent was expensive to lighten the mood up a bit, bc we had both been throwing jokes in every few minutes so it didn’t get too serious and then…then I looked at my phone and it said that he had deleted a chat he had sent, and then he sort of made some “this system is broken someone needs to fix it” and that’s FINE except we haven’t really discussed politics and I admit I’ve been a little mum in that regard bc he’s bisexual and we sort of really quickly bonded over the weirdness of being raised technically in yiur culture but unable to speak the language and that was interesting but also doesn’t mean anything like maybe he meant it in a commie sort of way since he’s told me he’s been really affected by COVID so maybe he, like a lot of people, found himself feeling more and more than this system is inherently broken beyond repair. Or MAYBE he meant it in a “you know I really think trump was onto something” sort of way and I’ve been staring at these messages wondering what the fuck they mean but let me reiterate, I have not looked at these messages ONCE without being bogged down with anxiety or high as a kite! He might not have been making an Anakin skywalker style “maybe dictators are good actually” type comment, you might, in fact, just have spent the last 20 hours in a bungled mess of anxiety and weed and pain.

Um anyways this program went really well and I think I’m gonna stay on to do it next year because I had sort of a good time, it reminded me why I like working in a library, but also, I’m so glad it’s over bc it was so much effort and I’m so anxious and tired all the time akskdkjd I don’t do anything but sleep and watch the same three episodes of a show bc I keep falling asleep, and then texting this dude at 4 am when I wake up bc I can’t sleep thru the night bc he keeps the WEIRDEST hours so I know he’ll be up and like ~flirting until I fall back asleep. That’s it. That’s been most of my life bc of this program the last few weeks. It’s not bad, but bro I would LOVE a CHANGE

In other news a pretty (straight) girl hugged me at work and I almost cried its been such a great pride already 🥲🥲🥲

ok here’s my obra dinn Opinions

so the story of return of the obra dinn, even after fully completed, is intentionally ambiguous. feature, not a bug. love to see it.

I also want to string together my interpretation of how shit played out both for my own sanity and because I think it’s a fascinating and beautiful story and while at first I was kind of let down by the ending i’m pretty sure it’s bc of how I played the game not because of the game

[I finished like 2/3 of it, forgot about it for a year, then tried to finish the rest of it and got frustrated bc I couldn’t remember shit and had to rely on my questionable notes and looked up a few fates to speed the process along a bit.]

so.

below the cut are obviously obra dinn spoilers for the whole game. bc I will be stringing things together. you’ve been warned.

also i don’t have all the answers. some things are best left vague.

one thing I haven’t noticed mentioned in discussion all that much is what the chest does. not the shells, we’re all on roughly the same page on the summoning-monsters-maybe-hypnotizing-people thing I feel like. but the chest.

the chest is on the ship the whole time. but the mermaids only attack after the shell is removed from the chest (fuck u nichols all my homies hate nichols)

so what’s clear to me is the Formosan royalty are transporting the shells in what is essentially a specialized containment unit. it’s built to stop them from doing their bad summoning shit.

this also correlates with how ita-beng sia stuns the mermaids. on the wiki, it says that he puts the shell into the liquid in the top part (the shell came from the bottom drawer, as we see when nichols steals it). so maybe the “quicksilver” that dahl sees in the chest is a kind of preventative or offensive force against the shells - which the mermaids carry. maybe while the shell is in the liquid, the mermaids will remain powerless. or maybe it’s a one-time use way to stun them. we’ll come back to it.

plus, in all the pictures, we never see the glowy-shiny lines (idk what to call them, but the ones that come off the shells. you know.) around the chest. just around the shells. but when we, the inspector, in the “present”, look off the bow of the obra dinn, you can see them shining in the distant sea. but not around the lazarette (where we know the chest remains). so, the mermaids (maybe just the one?) are in the distant sea having just brought the obra dinn back.

what causes the initial summoning is clearly nichols’ stealing the shell - he removes it from the chest, so its not contained anymore and does its summoning.

it starts when they’re on the ocean trying to get away, by summoning the mermaids [obligatory they-might-not-be-mermaids disclaimer]. importantly, ita-beng sia says to not let the shell get in the water.

so. my thought is. the shell needs to be close to water to operate at its full effectiveness. that’s why nothing was summoned while nunzio pasqua’s death was being investigated, even though nichols had already taken the shell out of the chest. it takes until they get in the water on the smaller boats til the mermaids are summoned.

once ita-beng sia puts the shell in the liquid and gets burnt and stuns them all, and nichols does the batshit thing of taking them onboard, the mermaids are responsible for the other sea-monsters that attack the obra dinn, or at least the kraken. this is confirmed in The Bargain, when after the captain kills two of them, the third somehow causes the kraken to retreat.

it isn’t confirmed that they had anything to do with the fuckin weirdass crab people though (those things scared the SHIT out of me).

this leads me into another valid theory: Filip Dahl

you stupid stupid man

you KNEW about the curse. you KNEW they were dangerous. you cut a whole guy’s leg off bc of it.

and when you got locked in the lazarette with the mysterious magic chest you stuck your fuckin hands in anyway.

maybe he was trying to get the shell to appease the mermaids. maybe he thought he could help somehow. maybe it was greed, or curiosity, or impulse. his dialogue reveals nothing

"What is this? Quicksilver! Herre, min gud! | God in heaven!"

thats it

it could be quicksilver, or just magic juice that looks like quicksilver. the art is just sorta swirly. respect.

but either way, that could happen at ANY point after he’s locked in there at the end of Unholy Captives.

so. while it’s also totally valid to say that the mermaids called the crab-spike monsters, I feel like the fact that Dahl removed a shell from the chest, in the lazarette which had water in it bc the mermaids were there and we hear splashes, is significant. maybe that triggered the effect, or intensified it, causing multiple kinds of sea-monster to attack. idk

also, if putting the shell in the "quicksilver” incapacitated the mermaids, maybe taking it out made them more powerful and more able to call for help?

so then the Monsters happen and it takes the captain 2 Terrible Beast™ attacks to maybe try to do something abt that. or maybe it was his wife’s death. or the ship about to sink. but he goes in for a chat w the prisoners.

he kills the first two after lots of threats, and eventually the third sends the kraken away somehow.

and martin perrot. the real mvp. the true hero.

goes to let them out w his homies. and even after getting spiked, he gives the mermaid the shell and asks a favor for the ship, giving up his life (he tells them to lock the door behind them) for those still left alive on the ship.

martin perrot dude. you the only hoe in this house i ever respected.

it’s unclear whether the captain ordered this or not. it’s unclear how much time passes between the killing of the first two mermaids and this time.

we do know the captain is getting rid of all the shells, so maybe he ordered the mermaid let go. and martin is 3rd mate, and probably following captains orders. but we don’t know.

and the rest of the crew sure doesn’t know

hence, mutiny, murder, escape, general chaos

and it rains. after the inspector gets onboard the ship, it starts to rain. after they leave, a storm sinks the obra dinn.

(i mean i’m not saying the mermaids did it but the mermaids did it)

fuck dude, i want a sequel. not about the obra dinn, but with the inspector going to another ship, or to another crazy situation, with the watch and sherlocking the shit out of it for insurance investigation.

Blog Post 1

I have always enjoyed spending time in nature and feel like the most at peace version of myself when I am deep within a natural area. I believe that I have felt this way my whole life and that this healthy relationship has developed from where and how I was raised. I grew up in North Vancouver, British Columbia (BC), in a house which looks out on to the forest and is merely a ten minute walk to the ocean. I spent much of my summer on the shoreline, looking for crabs under rocks and observing seagulls and seals,

Or surrounded by the tall trees of the forest, listening to the trickle of streams and the rustle of leaves.

It was my family who offered me a sense of place and always encouraged me. Despite not being a generally “outdoorsy” family, we would always spend at least one week camping during the summer. And they always let me hang out in the backyard, playing in the dirt and showing them every critter I could find, even in the rain. Some people say that the frequent rain which is common to Vancouver would be unbearable to them, but I always enjoyed the wet days more than hot and dry ones and couldn’t wait to splash around in the puddles and raindrops. Even now, living in Guelph, on overcast and drizzly days I feel a strong urge to go outside because it feels most like home to me.

My relationship with nature changed as I matured, and I spent less time outdoors as a teenager, until I went on an eye opening camping trip with my brother when I was 16. I had the privilege to visit Haida Gwaii, a northern archipelago off of the coast of BC. Visiting these remote islands strengthened my love and respect for nature and I still think back on the experience often. I don’t even have the words to describe how it felt to see such natural beauty and rich culture, but it certainly put all of my “teen angst” in perspective.

Throughout my adult life of academia and employment I have found it more difficult to make the time to get outside, even though each time I do I feel much better about my life. While living in Guelph I have walked through the local forests and visited the Arboretum, but I haven’t tended to spend as much time in nature as I would like. Despite not physically going out into nature that often, I have embraced my loved for nature through my studies. As a fourth year Zoology student I have strived to take courses which involve field work or explain the natural world and the life within it. I have volunteered with interpretive groups and thoroughly enjoyed teaching others about things which I am passionate about (which in this case was reptiles). I have also taken courses on bees, wildlife rehab, and ornithology in the past and this semester have a very strong focus on wildlife and nature.

Although I’ve always being happiest when in nature, I didn’t internally realize how important this “nature time” has been for me until now as I think back on my life. As I continue to mature, I hope to make time in nature more of a priority for myself and strive to have as much fun outdoors as I used to when I was a kid.

Thanks for reading!

Woooooooooo! Episode 23 was wild oh my god!

Alright lets get going!

Big thank you to our kind and benevolent DM Travis for answering mine and Griffin’s most pressing question. The door was in fact a space door leading to the hell dimension. Thank you for clearing that up.

Very interesting that Gray is so reluctant to murder the Commowhore. I understand he needs him for the Naval side of the war but like arent there other commanding officers for like all other war divisions? Also, Argo in his Lil mention about hoping there was gonna be a battle via water bc its where he’s most comfy.

Firbolg and his Lil list of animals he’s seen. Its ok bb keep going I support you <3

I love how this entire time no one in the Unbroken Chain has spoken. They are literally all there watching this go down. A Demon Prince has entered the room in the heat of a Tribunal for the murder of another member of the Chain and they all are so stunned they just sit there and watch?

Gray being sassy with Argo “Keep up Argo” like damn dude let him process there’s a lot going on right now. Also Gray cursing and Fitzroys “language” oh my god dude. Team Gray? Have you ever met Fitzroy? Chaos legit gave him a dream of being a king and still said “Nah I don’t wanna hurt the guy who wants to assassinate me” like of course he isn’t gonna join your ranks, dude. Keep up, Gray >:)

AH! Even Gray hates the Commowhore. He referred to him as The Coward! Yessssss only valid attribute to Gray rn tbh.

Fitz really forgot he just got out of a tribunal huh? Just gonna wildly say that he gets his powers from Chaos and that a Literal Demon Prince doesn’t know how powerful he is. You really set yourself up there huh bud?

WOW OK FIRBOLG GET HIS ASS!!!! I also would like that Gray nOT INJURE HIM AS WELL. God, that scene I was like cheering for Firbolg he did so well! Also yeah please kill the Commowhore, you already heard that Gray wants him around still. You get rid of one part of the problem. Do you know how pissed he is gonna be when the war actually starts? Like he will really be out for Argo and Fitz’s heads then.

I will say Higglemas being a member makes a LOT of sense but threw me for a loop not gonna lie. Why didn’t the boys react to it at all? Like Higglemas didn’t tell them he was a member.

“The cool waters shall not flow over me anymore! I AM LAND BORN!” That’s a mood Firbolg. Don’t worry bud they’ll get ya all patched up.

Good on Fitzroy for remembering that the cat, whOM THEY NAMED SCHRODINGER WHICH IS THE BEST THING EVER, can get to HIgglemas because I really thought that out of all of em Fitz would be the last to remember that. But poor snippers giving the look of just ‘Hachi machi boss I gotta translate from human to crab to cat, that’s a lot man, ill give it my best shot’

Thank god for Jackle, “Some of the other members have expressed their concerns to me so might I ask… what in the sweet holy hell are ya doin’ with the kitty?” I was rooting for someone to speak up about that.

Bruh I forget that Higglemas reverted in age. That like didn’t resonate with me at all. But “its Hig” really? Is it really Hig? That’s adorable.

I love how all of the Unbroken Chain members of the school are all together in one room and they all happen to be teachers and yet they are leaving all of this up to the THREE STUDENTS that haven’t even made it a full year in this school. Like I have to imagine that all of them are decently powerful to be in the Chain but they leave it up to these dullards.

“Spell slots?” “Oh don’t worry my boy its somethin’ only the Kenku’s have”

“We have arrived at the DMV!” “Dungeon Master Vehicle” Thank you, Justin. I love you so much.

UGH CLINTS VOICE ACTING FOR ARGO BEING SCARED I always forget he legit works in voice acting basically.

“He has dealt with hurt and depression in his life he’s good” God damn Jackle u good bud?

Griffin singing “So ya had a bad day!” bc of his shitty roll. God that made me laugh. I knew exactly what happened as soon as he started singing.

AHHHHHHH HEROS BACK BABYYYYYYYYY That makes me so ungodly happy. I screamed “A SWORD?” Then immediately after “PLEASE DEAR GOD LET IT BE HERO” and I was correct! >:) Thank you Fitz for the first dog joke I appreciated it a lot.

Fitz its a scratch. Go sit your ass down baby,

Really. No one is gonna mention a frazzled looking Hero back in the room? Or does everyone in the Chain think it’s just normal ol Hero joining the group? Doesn’t he look like way younger tho? So I feel like suspicions should have been raised.

A truth spell? That’s fucking wild never heard of it. In this Economy?

Yes, I too would like for you guys to Murder Gray in his sleep and end the war before it begins. But you did not have to bring it up so Cryptically Fitzroy. You scared me my guy I thought you were talking about accepting Grays offer for a sec there.

Hero shhhh sweetie we know Gray will turn and initiate the war for pureblood instead of just sport if the plan fails.

“Can everyone here keep a secret?” “Dis is uhhhh.. Not ideal” Dear god this is gonna become very hard very quick isn’t it?

Sea Urchin

I made me some analogical fluff bc honestly, why not?

Characters: Virgil, Logan, (brief) Roman

Relationships: Analogical, platonic Prinxiety

---

“Are you sure this is a good idea, Roman?”

“Are you kidding me? Of course it’s a good idea!”

“Fish? For a date?” Roman sighed, slinging an arm around Virgil’s shoulder.

“I’m telling you, oh panic-at-the-everywhere, that taking him to an aquarium will literally make his year. Logan loves the ocean, man.”

“And...and you’re sure he won’t think it’s weird?”

“No, because he’s weird. And so are you.”

“Hey!” Virgil shoved Roman away and glared at him, though it melted into a grin when he laughed that stupid laugh of his.

“Relax, Virge. He’ll love it, I promise.” He sighed.

“Okay…”

Half an hour later, Virgil was standing on the doorstep to the Crofter house, his hair awkwardly styled (Roman’s fault), and a plush shark in his hands (also Roman’s fault). Logan opened the door when he knocked, eyes widening at the sight of the plush shark.

“I uh...here.” Virgil shoved it into Logan’s hands, then tried to remember what Roman had told him to say. “Uh, guess where we’re going today?”

Logan looked at the shark, then up at Virgil.

Holy shit, I’ve never seen him this excited before.

“Are...are we going to the aquarium?” At that, Virgil couldn’t help but smile. Maybe Roman’s terrible idea wasn’t so terrible after all.

“Correct. I heard you were into marine biology, and they have a sale on the admission fee today. Roman also told me you liked sharks.”

Logan smiled--adorably, Virgil thought.

“Yeah, I do. They’re such fascinating creatures, despite the terrible reputation they’ve been given.”

“That’s good, ‘cause they’ll have plenty where we’re going.” Virgil motioned to his car, which actually wasn’t his car, but his mom’s. “You ready to go?”

“I believe I am adequately prepared, yes.” Logan still held the plush, and carried it to the car with him where he set it on the dashboard.

“Will it be okay if I keep it in here for now?” he asked as the two climbed inside.

“Oh, sure!” Virgil said, and his voice definitely didn’t crack. He tried not to look at Logan as he backed the car out of the driveway and started into town; at his messy hair, the soft blue sweater he currently wore over a white button-up, at his blue glasses which had tiny goldfish painted on the sides - Roman’s work, most likely. And it was perfect.

Roman had been Logan’s best friend since the first grade, and from what Virgil had heard the two had become friends in much the same way he had when he’d been transferred to their school in fifth grade. Promptly after arriving Roman had made it his personal goal to befriend him, though Virgil had never understood quite why. Logan said he didn’t either; Roman merely shrugged when asked and said they’d seemed lonely.

Not that that was true, or anything.

Whatever the case, Virgil did eventually succumb and become a part of the odd group. Later, when they reached highschool, it was again Roman who convinced him to finally ask Logan out.

At first glance, Logan was little more than a quiet and studious kid with a weird fascination for both space and the deep ocean, something that was weirdly connected to and disconnected from Virgil’s own fascination with cryptids, conspiracies, and aliens. The more he’d gotten to know Logan, however, the more he learned about the nerdy kid’s wilder side; about his impulsive (but fun) antics in the name of science, his crazy ideas “for research purposes only, obviously,” and his long rants about stars at two in the morning when he couldn’t sleep.

And Virgil fell in love with him.

Roman noticed he had before he did, actually. He also said that Logan liked him too, and after several weeks of nagging Virgil finally worked up the courage to ask him out himself. And when Logan accepted--well, Virgil didn’t think he’d ever been happier (though he’d never tell Roman that).

“What’s your favorite ocean animal, Lo? Aside from sharks.” Logan glanced up, grinning crookedly.

“I love eels,” he said. “And sea snakes. And crabs. And...” he stopped himself, and Virgil both tried and failed to hide a laugh.

“Go ahead,” he said. “Um, do you have a favorite shark species?”

“Certainly. I am most fond of the tiger shark; their unique patterns are quite aesthetically pleasing. Speaking of sharks, did you know that shark skin feels like sandpaper?”

“I didn’t,” Virgil said, even though he did. “Tell me about it.”

“Their skin is made up of specialized placoid scales, which form a special kind of armor for the shark that’s actually quite thick. It’s also so rough that it can actually injure animals that rub against it the wrong way--it’s relatively smooth the other way, compared to it. The shape of the scales also makes the shark more streamlined in the water, so it loses less energy to drag when it’s hunting prey.”

Virgil kinda froze, even though he was still at the wheel, and once again he was struck by how damn smart Logan was, not to mention how cute he was when he got excited, and--

“Uh, Virgil?”

“Yeah?”

“You missed the turn.”

“Dammit!”

- - -

Virgil stood back a little, grinning to himself as Logan pressed his face up against the tank. On the other side of the glass, a rather uncomfortably large fish looked back at them. Virgil had already been dragged around four different rooms in the span of less than fifteen minutes, but despite that he couldn’t wipe the dumb look of adoration from his face as Logan excitedly rambled to him about parrot fish.

“Did you know that they create bubble nets out of their mucus to hide in from sharks?”

“Uh...no, I didn’t.”

Man, the ocean was weird.

“Ooh, this way! They have touch tanks in here!”

“They have what now?” Virgil asked, as Logan grabbed his hand and started pulling him into another room.

“Touch tanks! So you can touch the anemones, urchins, sea cucumbers, and whatever else they have in there! Very fascinating textures, they have. Especially the anemones.”

“Wait wait wait...touch them?”

“You don’t have to if you don’t want to,” Logan said quickly, coming to a halt at the room’s entrance. He glanced at Virgil. “If you want I can show you first, and then you can decide. They won’t hurt you.”

“Uh...okay.” Virgil wanted to say no, mostly because being wet was not what he had planned, but Logan seemed so excited about it that he couldn’t help it. Besides, it was just his hand. He’d be fine.

“Here’s a purple sea urchin.” Logan pointed at a little spiky thing in the sand, grinning from ear to ear. “Their spikes can’t hurt us, but they’re cool to touch.” He dipped his hand in, running his finger along one of the urchin’s spines.

“Whoah, they’re closing together around your finger!” Virgil leaned over the edge of the tank, eyes wide. Logan grinned at him.

“They trap food with their spines like that, isn’t that cool?”

“You mean it thinks your finger is food?”

“Yup! Don’t worry though, he can’t hurt me. See?” Logan pulled his hand away easily, showing Virgil. “Wanna try?”

“You’re crazy.” He looked down at the urchin. “...Yes. I’ll try.”

The water was stupid cold, but Virgil rolled up his sleeves, pretended he didn’t notice the adorable smile Logan was giving him, and dipped his hand in. The urchin’s spines were hard, but smooth, and quickly hugged onto his finger as he watched in surprise.

“You haven’t been to an aquarium before, have you?” Virgil glanced at Logan.

“I haven’t, no. Ocean always gave me the heebies. Didn’t realize it was so...uh, cool…” he turned away to hide his face, which had turned a delicate shade of rose, and quickly washed his hands while Logan tried to pet every sea cucumber he could find in the tank.

“They’re very squishy,” he said as he joined Virgil by the entrance. “Very smooth. I like them.”

“I can tell,” Virgil answered with a grin.

They went to more tanks, then ate at the cafe inside. Logan excused himself after they sat down, leaving Virgil alone for a few minutes as he disappeared.

Virgil pulled his patch jacket closer around his shoulders, and let out a small sigh. He’d never been much of a learner like Logan was - sleeping in class, doodling on the margins of his notebooks, ignoring the teacher and everything around him...but learning from Logan was so different, so...fun. He realized he’d been enjoying himself immensely the whole time, even though he now had more facts on sea cucumbers than he’d ever know what to do with.

Being with Logan was fun, he thought.

“What are you thinking about, Virgil?”

“GAH! Logan, why?”

“I apologize.” Logan sat down, a smile hiding in his eyes as he tried to look sheepish. “I uh, didn’t realize that you hadn’t noticed my presence.”

“It’s alright,” Virgil shook his head, pushing a plate of food towards him. “You just startled me.”

“I will try to avoid doing so in the future.”

They talked about black holes and green sand; about comets and cone snails and nebulae and nurse sharks.

And Virgil loved it.

At last, the day had gone and it was time to go. Virgil was exhausted, but glowing with happiness as they made their way towards the exit. Logan held his hand; similarly quiet, similarly happy.

As they reached the front door, he stopped and turned to him.

“I uh...got you something,” Logan said quietly, holding something up for him to see.

“Is...is that an urchin plush?”

“I, uh...I thought that since…I went back to the gift shop...wanted to get something special...”

“I love it.” Virgil gently took the plush from Logan, cupping it in his hands and feeling how soft it was in his fingers. Logan grinned widely, and before either boy knew what was happening they were in each other’s arms. Logan’s embrace was gentle, but firm, and Virgil was pretty sure he never wanted to leave his arms again.

Silently, he thanked Roman for his best terrible idea ever.

Oh thats a good first question haha I had to scroll my Spotify for an answer 😅 but probably Smells Like Teen Spirit by Maria J. Heard it in Black Widow and loved it but honestly have no interest in listening to her other music.

Go to comfort food ooooh that's tough because I'm ✨ fat ✨ 🤣 but I think it's either Chinese food (specifically general tso and crab rangoon or sweet n sour chicken) I used to get shrimp lomein but my moms fiance is allergic OR just a straight up turkey sub with lettuce tomato provolone XD I don't fuck with oil and vinegar and all that nonsense so I'm clearly not a true New Jersian

And favorite perfume, wdll right now I'm using a body spray from B&BW called raspberry tangerine that smells really pretty but if and or when I have the money I like Daisy or Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs

Favorite TV show? Favorite Color? And have you dyed your hair any crazy colors before, if not do you want to? Ready, set, GO!!!!!

never heard of that song either, i'll add it to the list. i have so many songs like that tho, just random ones that i've found over the years.

example: then i woke up by the clique girlz. it's a such a dumb song but i love it lol

i haven't had chinese food in a while. but i love broccoli and chicken with rice. it's simple but so good. and turkey hoagies are my fucking favorite.

you have great taste in food.

and omg you're from jersey? a bunch of us live in pa. jesus, are we all on the east coast lol

oooh, i really like those scents too. my favorite b&bw one is black cherry merlot or velvet sugar. and marc jacobs makes my fave perfume too. i love dot by him.

favorite tv show is hard bc i don't really watch tv that much anymore. but i would have to say either chuck or veronica mars. i highly recommend them both. favorite color is red. and i've dyed the ends of hair red, purple, blue, and pink. never my whole head bc i like my hair color a lot lol and i want to re-dye it red at some point soon.

okay for you: favorite flower, do you have a weird talent, and the best concert you've ever been to (and if you haven't, what's a concert you want to go to).

· Ronan hasn’t had a nightmare in a very long time

· Not a real one, at least.

· I mean yeah maybe from time to time his dreams aren’t just flowers and stars, but he’s been getting much better at controlling these nightmares

· His mental health is also so much better

· Yet sometimes

· Sometimes, things get a little hard, even for Ronan

· When Adam is so many miles away

· When Declan and Matthew are happily living their lives in DC

· When opal is being a dream in her dream forest

· Ronan might get a little lonely

· And by a little I mean excruciatingly lonely.

· Sometimes calling Adam helps

· Sometimes it doesn’t

· Sometimes it does the complete opposite

· Tonight is one of those nights

· He misses Adam

· So, so badly

· It feels like someone drilled a hole into his chest

· And he can’t fill it up

· With neither ice cream nor alcohol

· Maybe calling Adam would help

· But it’s 12am

· And Adam has some important test tomorrow

· So calling him really isn’t an option

· So Ronan just goes to bed and hopes that he’ll feel better in the morning

· He could always just go annoy Declan

· Or he could go see Opal

· Yeah it’ll be better in the morning

· Except until then he has to fall asleep

· And for some reason falling asleep is really hard when you feel so lonely in your big, big, empty house

· Eventually Ronan does will himself to sleep

· But oh he was not prepared for what was expecting him on the other side

· Surprise surprise it’s a night horror

· First night horror in years

· And holy fucking shit it’s a big one

· With too many teeth and claws to count

· It obvs attacks Ronan

· But it’s fine cause it’s just a dream, right?

· WRONG AHAHA YOU THOUGHT

· Ronan wakes up with a couple new scars and a some blood

· Nothing too bad

· It was still just a dream

· However

· The scars aren’t the only thing he brings back

· In the dark corner of his room he hears the too familiar sound

· You guessed it he brought the night horror back bc he hates himself just that much

· He manages to move in the last second before the night horror jumps on him and destroys his face

· They fight a little

· Ronan somehow manages to kill it before it kills him

· However he doesn’t get away that easily

· Because the night horror absolutely shredded his arms

· His forearms, to be more specific

· So he goes and puts on some quick bandages

· Just something very temporary so he can bury the night horror

· After he does that he takes a very painful shower and puts some more effort in bandaging his arms because wow that does not fucking look good

· His face got some touch ups too

· Thanks, night horror!

· But it’s nothing too deep

· He’s a big boy he will live

· So now it’s about 3am

· He sure as hell ain’t going back to sleep now

· Not in the mental state that he’s in right now

· And even though he knows very well that what he’s about to do is reckless and stupid

· He says fuck it and does it anyways

· Because when have the words “reckless” and “stupid” ever stopped Ronan N. Lynch

· So he gets in the car and drives off

· Where does he go, you might ask

· Well, he goes to see Adam

· Yeah he drives 8 hours after only getting 2 hours of sleep just to see his boyfriend because he wants to and because he can

· He should arrive after Adam’s test anyways

· So it’ll be fine

· Right?

· ((Also, we are ignoring canon a little bit here and we’re pretending that the murder crab thing never happened))

· Anyways he drives over to Adam

· In like

· A pair of lose fitted jeans and a large t-shirt because the night horror didn’t only get his arms and tight clothing fucking sucks over wounds

· He obviously ignores all of his messages and calls

· Even the ones from Adam

· Mostly because he knows that if he picks up Adam will convince him to turn around and stop being a baby

· ((Adam wouldn’t, but Ronan can’t risk it))

· So he gets there around 11am

· And he knows that Adam should be in his free period by now

· But he doesn’t call

· He just

· Parks in front of his dorm

· Or close enough, whatever

· And he sits in the car

· Suddenly very full of anxiety

· And he just can’t get himself to call

· But he remembers that he doesn’t really have to call because he has a key to Adam’s dorm

· So it’s technically not breaking in right?

· So he doesn’t even take his phone from the car, just the key to Adam’s dorm and he gets out

· Only after he’s out of the car he realises that he’s not sure he has the strength to walk either

· So he just sands there

· Looking kind of lost

· ((but also looking high key scary so nobody approaches him))

· What he doesn’t know is that Adam happened to be on the rooftop with some friends

· Because that’s where the cool kids have lunch haven’t you heard

· And he happens to see Ronan’s car

· And he gets really excited but also really confused

· Because Ronan is still not answering his calls but he’s also not coming out of the car??

· So Adam just keeps sitting there, waiting for a sign from Ronan

· And then when Ronan does come out of the car he sees the bandages

· And the look on his face

· And the other unpleasant stuff on his face

· And he kind of sort of puts 2 and 2 together

· And he rushed down the stairs so quickly he almost falls down a couple of times

· All the while Ronan is still standing next to his car

· Contemplating weather he should get back in and call Declan

· But then he sees Adam running towards him

· And suddenly he kind of definitely feels like crying

· Adam gets to him and they hug so hard Ronan thinks he might have broken Adam’s ribs but he doesn’t really care

· His wounds have definitely opened up during this too

· And if he cries a little bit that’s nobody’s business

· Because he’s with Adam now

· And Adam will take care of him like the big baby he is

· And it’s fine now

· Well not really, because he’s still sporting scars and stitches pretty much all over his body and they hurt like hell

· And also he feels like he hasn’t slept since he was a baby

· But that’s ok

· Because he’s with Adam now.

· And Adam will take care of him.

· And they will get through this together.

Hey, answer whichever and however many of these as you like. What are your top 10 favorite animals and why? What was your first band you really loved? What are things you loved/love that you rarely get to talk about? What are clothing items / styles you just really like? Favorite not well known game(s)? Songs you wish someone would make an AMV of (blank) for? Favorite foods / the best meal you've had? Funniest / most ridiculous work experience? Current thoughts that you just want to talk about?

1. What are your top 10 favorite animals and why?

(in no particular order minus cats being first)

1. all cats because i love literally everything about them and they’re a special interest of mine. 2. snakes because they’re cool and cute and slithery. 3. dogs because Good Boys. 4. crows because they’re super smart 5. dragons because my boyfriend loves them and they remind me of him. 6. cats again because i love them that much. 7. dinosaurs are cool. 8. i love rodents they’re good. 9. foxes are like dog-cats. 10. wolves, in honor of my middle school self.

2. What was the first band you really loved?

my chemical romance was my special interest from 12 years old up until they broke up. i still listen to them occasionally, their music is genuinely really good. i love gerard way too. he hasn’t expressed details about his exact identity, but the fact that the lead of my favorite band as a kid has gender identity stuff going on means a lot to me. also just found out that gerard’s second cousin is joe rogan and mentally i can’t fucking process that knowledge. they’ve never met though apparently

3. What are things you loved/love that you rarely get to talk about?

i was never really into movies until my boyfriend and i started dating and now i’ve seen a lot with him. it feels weird to have all this movie knowledge that i’ve gained over the past year. my favorites that we’ve watched together (that i’d never seen before) are inglourious basterds, interstellar, v for vendetta, the thing, predestination, and dark knight.

4. What are clothing items / styles you just really like?

here are two very recent outfits of mine lmao. i wear my fanny pack literally everywhere. (i just didn’t have it on in the first pic bc i had just gotten home and took it off before i took the picture.)

5. Favorite not well known game(s)?

haven’t replayed it in a long time but always sometimes monsters left a huge impact on me when i was 16, and i plan to replay it this year hopefully. i can’t in good conscious recommend it to other people bc it’s been 5 years but yeah. i always think of that game when i think of obscure indie games that i loved.

also fran bow and the cat lady both deserve more attention! both are great horror games.

6. Songs you wish someone would make an AMV of (blank) for?

i imagine a league of legends AMV literally every time i listen to forever by mystery skulls. it fits so well and i have most of it mapped out in my head lol

7. Favorite foods / the best meal you've had?

i love pulled pork barbecue. and crab rangoons. those are my favorite nonsweet foods.

8. Funniest / most ridiculous work experience?

i’ve only ever had two short-lived jobs so can’t give a good story for this one :/

9. Current thoughts that you just want to talk about?

today and last night have been really difficult. right now i’m just trying to make the time pass until hopefully things get better. this helped a lot to distract me for a while, thank you i really appreciated this.
