Okay, that's the last of my last thoughts, now it's time for the. . .

REVIEW

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'm not okay

I LOVED THIS EPISODE SO MUCH!!! OH MY GOSH. This is the anti feeling to last night when I watched tgd and the end killed me for an entirely different reason THE GAYS ARE WINNNINGGGGGG!!!! I'm not okay. Anyway IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Genuinely though all the plots throughout were really good and there were a TON of good moments. Plus the crossover with The Bachelor was GREAT lol. I need to go back and watch those first two minutes but I will update the post slfjdfhs. Now, I'm going to make a quick celebration post and maybe rewatch that clip if possible, and then I'll be back because I can't possibly put off this review xD. Oh my gosh I'm having so many thoughts.

OKAY AAHHH HI ME FROM THE NEXT DAY I was literally freaking out so much (and still am) that I couldn't do it and I kept procrastinating and then I fell asleep lol xD. I have continued to procrastinate (and I had things to do) but!! Here I am :)).

First though, I'm going to go back to the promo bit and add the second half because apparently I completely forgot about it, and I have since watched it a couple of times xD.

Okay!! Now, let's talk about some other bits of the episode xdd.

The Bachelor crossover was so fun!!! I've never seen The Bachelor lol but it was a great story, great call xD. And everyone freaking out SLFKGHDKS!! Maddie and Josh fighting over the call to Chimney giving them spoilers to Eddie siccing the girls on Buck to Bobby and Hen going 👁️👄👁️. And that poor girl xdd. Also the "Do I have to?" "I wouldn't" just killed me xDD. Glad she's okay though :)). Sucks she'll never have her chance lol. But hey, she got to talk to him :)!! Wild xD. Anyway, I think was a super fun thing to throw in there for the 100th episode :DD. It's also interesting to see a reality show crossover with a fiction show xD. Had a fun time with it!!

Maddie and Chim!! They were so funny at the beginning xD. Her sending the 118 was wild lol. Also I loved her face to him later when he was talking about how cool Tommy was right after Buck was complaining about him (😏😏) xDD. They're idiots your honor lol <33. Anyway, Chimney slayed on the calls today 🥰. Especially figuring out the head trauma for that poor woman! Nice job my guy :)). Also, I didn't notice it until I saw subtitles later but "I'm your basketball beard" AUGHWUOGIH!!!! XDD SLFJDGLKDS HE'S SO WILD FOR THAT O.O. Anyway he did genuinely slay, loved him supporting Buck lol :)). I'm sure there was some brother in law bonding in there xD. Maddie slayed on calls too!! I really loved her conversations with Buck though :D :)). The brunch one was sweet and kind of silly, plus the "Is it circled with a heart?" line was SO GOOD LOL SLFJDHS XDD. Idiot <33 (Buck more than anything but it's all affectionate I promise). Also I really loved Maddie's reaction to Buck talking about maybe accidentally purposefully injuring Eddie. It completely makes sense for her character and I'm really glad it was in there, it added some great depth <33. Though the storyline itself has depth!! Especially after the ending lol. Anyway, poor Maddie with her story about the Sarah's :(( xd. That sucks :'(. I do kind of know how it is (not quiiite as close) and it really can be awful xd. Dyeing your hair is a wild step xD. Plus SLFKGJDS "I would've changed both names" oh my gosh XDDD 💀. Also nice on her for calling Buck out for acting like a teenage girl lol. Anyway, love her, and Chimney <33.

Hen and Ravi!! We didn't see much of either of them this episode but they were great :DD. Poor Ravi xD. Bro had no clue what was going on with anything ever lol. He didn't even know who Tommy was! After all the drama he caused!! Poor guy's out of the loop (well for the drama he would cause, is what I meant) lol. They both slayed this episode though :DD!! Hen was great on the house invasion call and the Bachelor call :)). Love them <333.

Bobby, Athena, and Harry!! AYYY Harry :DD!! Welcome back man 🥰. Seeing him greet Athena and Bobby was so nice :'D. It's nice to have him back :')). Sucks to have a change in actors (Marcanthonee will be missed!!) but I'm sure he's gonna be great :)). Elijah, I believe his name is? Welcome aboard dude :DD! Anyway, his return isn't under the best of circumstances o.o. Love Bobby knowing, or being suspicious yk, and called Michael (they are my besties your honor 🥰🥰, I love them <33). Also really glad he told Athena immediately and didn't turn to hide it or anything 😬 :)). Anyway, glad he was so supportive <33. That whole thing was wild though o.o 😬😬😳. It really sucks so much that that happened :((. Harry didn't deserve that, and he was totally valid in his anger and wanting to respond. I don't think he should've beaten the guy up, but I get it. It sucks that he was to be a representative but that's how it is :'((. Hopefully it'll change one day. Also his conversation with Athena about it all and whether she cares more about being a cop or his mom OOUFGH O.O. That bit hit HARD 😬😭. He did have a bit of a point, but I'm glad he apologized <33. And that Athena was more understanding the second time. On a lighter note, her waking up him by pouring a bucket of water on him was amazing LOL xD. Anyway, seeing his reaction to the video hurt so much :((( 😭😭😭💔. It really is awful to see yourself angry. I only tend it see it in writing and it still sucks and is hard xdd. But HALLELUJAH YAYY he's not being charged, at least with prison time that is :')). And he's sticking around :DD!! I'm sure it'll be difficult with Athena monitoring his community service and such but I think it'll be really fun storyline wise :)). Also Athena having to tell that mom that she shot her son 😭😭😭💔💔🥺🥺. That was so awful, I'm so sorry honey <33? And that poor lady 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔. Her acting was amazing <333. It's such an awful situation and I hope she manages to be as okay as she can be :'((. Pooe guy <33 he seemed great :'( :'). Anyway, love them all (the three I said lol) <33 🥰🥰.

It's time.

Well time to talk about the rest of it besides that one part of the ending lol.

Buck and Eddie, and Tommy!! BROOK this was so wild o.o xD. The jealousy was painful 😭, but I also kinda loved it, it was hilarious xD. It really sucks that Buck was feeling left out, and I do think they were kind of leaving him out, but I don't think it was at all intentional. Eddie invited him to basketball several times, and the other things were things he and Tommy already had plans for. He even seemed excited when he thought Buck was going to come to the fight with them (which that bit HURT by the way lol 💀)!! He did seem kinda shady asking Buck to watch Chris but I'm sure it was an accident xDD. He's just an idiot your honor lol <33. I do wish he was a little more obvious about not blaming Buck when he got injured, but like, he was in a whole lot of pain with a possibly broken ankle xD. It's understandable lol and I don't blame him. I also don't think Tommy was trying to exclude Buck! H was happy to see Buck throughout the episode, he gave him a tour, planned to give him flying lessons!! It was just a really unfortunate situation and Buck wasn't communicating (as he admitted at the end lol). Poor Buck though through all of it 😭😭💔🥺. I know it was kind of on him for not communicating but it just sucks being left out :((, I totally get it. You don't wanna say anything and be told you're overreacting or for people to think it's weird, and you don't wanna be possessive or anything, but it sucks and you miss them :((. I know how it feels xD xd. Still, I'm really glad he was getting aware of it, and he listened to the help from Maddie lol <3.

I think the conversation at the end was a really good way of wrapping it all up. Seeing everyone's side (Eddie's opinion given by Tommy but honestly he wasn't really as involved in the problem lol), and having everyone apologize. Also then them hyping each other up :')). I do find it interesting to see and outside perspective to the 118! We're so used to the family that is the 118 and the 126 that we don't really think about the fact that it's probably not like that for most people xdd. It wasn't even really like that when Tommy was there. And it makes sense for him to be jealous over it!! It's completely understandable and a really cool perspective to see :)). Although I will agree with Buck lol, he's pretty cool on his own lol.

Now, seeing as I was freaking out and forgot half the previous lines, I'm going to say what I thought/my reactions to a few specific lines and everything as it started to ramp up xD.

By the way, I have watched this scene (or at least parts of it) like. 20 times now. And some of it I'm still trying to remember as I freak out once again right now lol xD. So keep that in mind lol.

When they were talking about the mouths static was hilarious xD. In all fairness, it wasn't great lol.

And then the Muay Thai (I think that's how it's spelled?), the after flying lessons bit and "Not in the same day"??? AAAAHHHHHHHHH!! That's where I started to really get stressed and suspicious and in shock xDD. I was like um. what was that. XD.

And then. Buck admitting he was trying to get TOMMY'S attention o.o. I genuinely wasn't expecting it but looking back on the episode it all makes sense yk o.o. Honestly I don't think even Buck really realized that was it until during that conversation, especially given his tone shift. And the Tommy's face afterward 😭. Bro is surprised xD. And I'm going to be completely honest, I thought Buck was saying "I didn't mean my best friend" there and not "I did maim best friend" until like the tenth time I watched it o.o xDD. The first one was wild, a self denial of Buddie because he's oblivious xDD. The second one makes more sense but is equally as wild o.o lol. He's realizing that just before he says it xD. And maim is dramatic but he did injure Eddie 😬🥺. Anyway, the next bit.

You know.

The moment.

"My sister says there's better ways to get someone's atten-" AND HE K I S S E D HIM!!!!! WHEN. I. TELL. YOU. I. LOST. MY. MINDDDD!!!!

It was so wild oh my gosh. You can look at my liveblog for more freaking out about that xD (and probably later in this post lol. And also in anything I've reblogged about it xD). I can still barely believe it's real. That it happened xd. I realized a little while ago that I have no idea what I'd do if Buddie actually got together, and I felt some of that feeling here. We thought for SO LONG,l we wouldn't have it, had kind of lost hope, and then BOOM!!!! I know I had hope for this episode but it wasn't SERIOUS, not really!! Hope but "I expect it.not to happen, no matter how hard I hope xdd". And we may not have gotten Buddie BUT WE DID GET BISEXUAL BUCK!!!!!!! I'm genuinely still so happy about that oh my gosh. I meant to make a post earlier but I was grinning in the hallway at school xD.

Now, AFTER THE KISS WAS SO WILD TOO AAAAHHHHHH.

OKAY I'm back for a third time lol, later in the day xD. Had a lot to do but now I'm here!

Anyway AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! I barely even registered the sus stuff they were saying beforehand because I was in such shock, and the same goes for afterwards xD. I was just SCREEEAMING!!

But!! Some of these being my thoughts having watched it 20 times, and some of them being what I thought at the time, THE MOUTH STATIC COMMENT 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️🥺 XD. Also we love Tommy asking if it was okay 🥺🥺🥺❤️🥰 :'). Anyway, it's the way Buck is just absolutely speechless. The only thing he has is the mouth static comment and that's it xD. All he had laid out lol. It's so cute to see him flustered and speechless :')). Also the fact that some of it comes from this revelation he just had (not just being a bi disaster, but discovering he's a bi disaster) is so good <333. And I just- YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!! HE'S F R E E!!! AT 8 ON SATURDAY SURE BUT HE'S F R E E 😭😭😭😭😭💔❤️❤️❤️❤️🥺🥺🥰🥰😎!!! ACCIDENTAL SUNGLASSES BUT WE'RE KEEPING IT. LIKE THE WAY HE SAID IT AUGOAUHUGIH HE. IS FREE!!

I'm so not okay over that <33

Anyway I love that Tommy does all the talking lol, he knows Buck can't and is short circuiting but he still has a conversation with him xD :).

And just AAAAHHHHHHHH THEY'RE GOING ON THEIR FIRST DATE!! IT'S SATURDAY AT 8 BRO!!! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND AUUUUAGHHHHHH!!

I mean I know you all do but you know lol.

Also Tommy telling Buck to call Eddie xD. Yeeeah, honestly seems like a good time to call and talk to him if he's on pain pills lol. Buck might have trouble speaking though, given he's still having a queer crisis xD. Kinda crisis, kinda discovery. Skipped some of that stage lol.

Buck's final look of the episode just destroys me :')). He's so baffled and happy your honor <33.

Now here's someone I'll say that I've been thinking of about the whole thing. Buck's tone changed, his vibe changed, something in his eyes changed, during that scene. Around the flying lessons bit xD. You can tell. I think he felt it, he just wasn't exactly sure what it was. And whatever he thought it was was probably terrifying (assuming he guessed correctly or knew lol). I think, if Tommy hadn't done something, he would've just let it go, let the moment pass. And, especially if he's done the same thing before, I think he would've pushed it away enough that he stopped thinking about it. I don't know if he has ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯. But it makes me think of a Buck who had Moments, who Wondered, and then dismissed them immediately because there was no way, he Couldn't. Or it was something he couldn't quite place. So he left it alone and forgot about it.

Idk. All I know is I don't think he would've made a move if Tommy hadn't lol, even if he was feeling the vibes xD.

Anyway, I've been genuinely so ill over all of this for literal days now. It's just past midnight on Friday for me lol. I'm just going so insane over it.

Today a question of the day in one of my classes was "What's a moment from tv/movies/musicals that impacted you?", you know something wild or epic or emotional or whatever, that impacted you. And, though it's far from the first time it's happened to me, I said this. Buck realizing he was bisexual. I don't think some people realize (though surely most of us on Tumblr do): This is a masculine, main character (honestly the main character) on an extremely popular mainstream television show, that after 7 seasons realized he was bisexual, and he's not a trope. It is profoundly impactful. Still definitely give credit where it's due to shows that have been doing it since the beginning (Lone Star, for example), but this is huge. They finally CAN do it. And I'm so happy for them, and proud of Buck :')).

Also quick note I just love how much Oliver is committed to and knows his character. The fact that he withdrew media wise because he agreed with us?? Wild. But he genuinely loves Buck so much, probably more than any of us, and he fights so hard to do him right <33. I'm so proud of, but more importantly, happy for him :')). He's been waiting so long for this and he totally deserves it, he absolutely slayed it <33. His acting was AMAZING, as always. I mean it's always great but this was just top both xD :'D. Anyway, thank you Oliver <3.

And thank you to everyone else on the show who worked to make this happen!!! And everyone in the fandom who fought for this!

I still genuinely can't believe it xd. It's just- amazing <3.

Also, quick think on Buddie: I do still want Buddie long-term. But I think Buck and Tommy could be cute, and no matter what I'm just excited to see where it goes for now :)). I actually kind of think it's better that Buck doesn't date Eddie first, for him and for us (a likelihood of them staying together). He needs to discover/explore/understand this new part of himself, and that might require branching out a bit :). Plus it's just good for him to get to be out there and live how he wants to, not worrying about endgame right now. I think Buddie will happen one day, but for now I am absolutely happy with this <333. I think it's gonna be great, and I am so excited :D.

One last scream:

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Overall, I really enjoyed this episode! It was sooo good, and not just The Moment. All the calls were cool and interesting, including the crossover, which was fun. Everyone's individual storylines were good, and even through a lot of silly moments, packed and stuffed with emotion :'). Plus all the little throwbacks to episode 1, and the series in general, were great and really awesome :'DD. Also, just thinking about the impact of the kiss being in the 100th episode <33. Wow. So insane (me) <33. Anyway, Buck and Tommy was wild but they were cute, I'm glad Buck and Eddie are doing better. I'm also glad everything got worked out between Athena and Harry <33. The situation sucks but I think we made the best out of it :')). I loved the Buck and Maddie interactions and moments this episode, they were great <33. I wish we got a few more team moments, or full family moments, for the 100th episode, but that's a small thing :) ❤️. I still THOROUGHLY enjoyed it and I thought it was just absolutely amazing.

So yeah! I loved this episode, I thought it was super great. There were a bunch of fun storylines, which I don't want to forget about in light of the last scene. I'm so excited for the next episode! This has been my review of. . .

9-1-1, Season 7, Episode 4: Buck, Bothered, and Bewildered

It was so amazing. I'm so excited but so nervous for the next episode! I'm sure it'll work out fine but it looks wild. I'll be back here next week for my review of. . .

27 ASKS! :00 THANK YOU!! :}} 🧈

@amoonlight007

I'm indifferent to it. I know of it and have seen a lot of people play it, buuuut it doesn't really catch my interest much.. :( 💔

If he was starving or dehydrated.. he probably could have :( Not sure what he'd see or hear though..

@neo-metalscottic

AAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH!! :DD 💖💖

Although unfortunately I cannot reveal anything without spoiling stuff..

Though I can say that the animatronics- new and old, are not fully aware of Fazbear Entertainments history.. 👀

@badlyblurry

WAAAAATHANKNYOU SO MUCH!!! 😭😭💖😭THIS MADE MY DAY SO MUCH BETTER FR THANK YOU SO MUCH!! YOU'RE TOO KIND!!💖💖💖

I think there is yeah :0

Well of course :0 But considering Seam and Jevil's trauma with Spade King.. if they ever saw a Lancer they likely would have just turned the other way in discomfort-

I feel like either Peso, Dashi or Captain Barnacles. :0

Other than maybe effecting his magic in someway..? I cant think of anything :0

That world looks beautiful! Yet also spooky <XD I don't know anything about Worldless but if its safe, they'll stay a while. :0

I feel like none of the Octonauts get seasick. Considering their species, line of work, and life experience..

But maybe if there's a crazy storm of sorts,, mayyybe.. Tweak.? wouldn't feel the best? But it'd be less sea sick and more like a headache. :(

I don't intend for them to encounter anything like that no.. <:/ But if they did? They would FREAK OUT. You bet the Octopod would be stationed nearby for months as the Octonauts studied the sunken city XD

Oh hugs for sure. Angsty? Wholesome? It doesn't really matter. A hugs a hug and I love drawing them 🤗

XDD I'm glad you like what you see! And I'm technically into Undertale atm! Well, its a bit more focused on Deltarune characters. (Seam and Jevil) But there's a handful of Undertale characters in there as well! :}}

XDDD THANK YOU SO MUCH!! :D And yes indeed! I am the culprit behind the silly jester men and their very large spider/human DJ friend XDDD

I'm not familiar with tarot cards, so I haven't thought about it no.. <:/ Sorry!

@rubydraft

AAAAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I DON'T HABE THE WORDF- THIOS IS SO KIND!! THANK YOU!!! STUFFING THIS ASK UNDER MY PILLOW SO I CAN WAKE UP AND READ IT AGAIN EVERY MORNING FRFR 💖💖😭💖

KXKSXCKJ FR THO IT'D BE LIKE THAT XDD

@khoiazo

I think they'd be too disturbed by the burning corpse on the ground to even realize that you were dancing <XD

I think that Fazbear entertainment doesn't add more characters because its a lot more complex than we might think.

Not only do you have to design and build the animatronic and its personality. Which would include probably thousands of dollars in work and trouble shooting to make one that is as advanced as the others..

You also have to set up an attraction for it. You have to set up marketing, plushies, clothes, toys, themed food, etc. You have to hire employees to run the attraction, you also have to train said employees on how to run the new attraction. You have to get handlers for the new animatronic, build another green room on Rockstar row, redo all the maps in the Pizzaplex to accommodate for the new attraction.

This also includes updating the fazwatches/making new fazwatches to hand out. Every single staff bot has to be updated in order to be made aware of the new animatronics presence and how to interact with it.

Like. Soooooo much would go into adding a new animatronic its crazy-

Jevil feels bad for his original counterpart. Because he's still locked up in a cell..

Seam is probably jealous of his original, thinking that he got off easy. He doesn't even have shackles..

Goner kid doesn't envy her original at all. Considering her original is still lost in the void somewhere..

Grillby had a run in with his original.. it did not go well..

Asgore does not envy his original at all. He cant imagine how it would feel for his children to pass, and his wife to leave him out of disgust...

River feels.. a bit indifferent to her original I imagine..

@elegysonnet

I do! Somewhat-

A family member introduced me to the web comic a few years ago. And I kept up with it for a while.. Eventually though it stopped updating. I was bummed. Figuring that something must have happened..

..Only to find out that they were working on a pilot animation the whole time and are as alive as ever! Still haven't sat down and watched the pilot like 9 months later-- 💔

As for my opinion on the comic, the artwork is fantastic. But I don't got two braincells to rub together and don't understand/remember the story so uh.. <:D yeah...

Now thankfully I don't think it would ever come to that-

Even after someone as powerful as an Asgore joined their group, Jevil is still endlessly paranoid and risks nothing when it comes to Seams/the groups safety.

If anyone found out that he could dimension hop? He would immediately assume that he is no longer safe around those people and would flee that AU.

And if someone did take him well.. now you've got a mighty king and a determined human on your tail. Which are not good people to have after you-

Though I suppose all of that aside.. if that did happen? The only one who would remember is Frisk. And she would be greatly disturbed.. Upon a reset, she would tell Jevil very sternly that this AU is not safe. Jevil wouldn't question her for a second and would instantly open up a mirror and they would bounce-

Oh! I'm glad to hear that the "controversy" was nothing serious! :0 Thank you for the info! :}

Jevil probably told the kiddos to be on the look out for a new hat. He could have told them he likes to wear a hat but doesn't like his jester one. They would understand the assignment and would be on the look out :0

Sometime after Peach was rescued the bros were brought over to Daisy's kingdom to meet her. Kind'a just a "meet the legendary heroes that saved my best friends life" situation.

It wasn't love at first sight- but Luigi did notice her. Not just for her beauty, but for her bravery and personality as well. 💚🧡

@beryl-shade

XD Made me imagine a home alone situation. The Glamrocks setting up slap-stick humor type booby traps to deter the bad guys XDD

[chubs-deuce]

First off, love your work! Your art is phenomenal!

Though, I am rather curious. We've seen Lucifers reaction to finding out about Dawn, but what about the other residents of the hotel? I can't imagine Angel, Vaggie, Husk, and Nifty have an exactly pleasant reaction. Nifty because babies are messy, Husk because it's Alastor and ew??? he made a baby???, Angel because what was the sex like, and Vaggie because her (current? ex? never dated in this au?) girlfriend just popped up with a child that she apparently had with someone who's the literal worst. I guess I more or less answered my own question, but I'm still curious how you think they'd react. Perhaps even Lilith if you think that's something you can tackle with our limited information about her? I can honestly imagine her storming out of Heaven, kicking down the hotel doors, and scooping up little Dawn for Nana time. Maybe she even brings Alastors mama with her at one point as a small thank you to him for giving her a grand baby, but she probably has the same reaction to him as Lucifer and doesn't like him much. Lol

Also, you've probably talked about it before, but what were Charlie and Alastor trying to do when they accidentally conjured Dawn? You mentioned a spell/incantation or something, but what was it for?

One last question: I once saw a similar comic where Alastor accidentally made a baby with Angel and, upon trying to decide what to do with it, Alastor proceeded to try to (pretend to.... I hope) eat the baby. Did Alastor do the same thing in this situation or would he do something somewhat similar? What would Charlie have done if he'd tried?

Oh!!! What a wonderful ask to receive and get to pick apart/build upon!!!

First of all I'm so glad you like my art, thank you so much! :D

Secondly I'll happily give my take on everything you've just brought up - you're making many great points and I agree with a lot of them too :DD I'm gonna give my input under the cut since this got hella long lmao:

Question 1: how would the other hotel residents react?

I already agree with pretty much most of your ideas!

I personally think that they wouldn't just spring the news on the residents without Charlie being Charlie and wanting to make sure that whole thing goes over well (and correctly) and insisting on giving the context upfront first before any crass assumptions can be made!

So while Angel would be disappointed at the lack of implied sex to prod them about, I do think he'd take a liking to the baby p much immediately. He used to have a lot of extended family growing up under the circumstances that he did, so I like to imagine he slips into a kind of older brother/caretaker/babysitter role fairly easily! Not to mention he's one of the most emotionally intelligent members of the cast, so I think he'd also pick up on Charlie's emotional turmoil fairly quickly and become a great source of support early on.

Husk would definitely be weirded out, but more worried for the offspring and how much Alastor could potentially corrupt an innocent creature that harbors unknown amounts of immense power given her heritage by being given the freedom to raise her in his image. He does inevitably grow to care a lot more about her over time.

Niffty definitely doesn't like Dawn until she's old enough to start cleaning up after herself properly - by then Dawn has already developed a mischieviously playful personality, so Niffty easily manages to rope her into shenanigans such as bug hunts or stealing someone's diary or sth.

Vaggie's a tricky one since I haven't yet decided where she stands with Charlie.

Vaggie has every right to be extremely wary of Alastor and his motives (even after his efforts in the battle against Adam), she absolutely hates the idea that this freak managed to procreate - and with someone as innately powerful as Charlie nonetheless! But she also cannot deny that the child is ultimately not at fault in the slightest and undeserving of her ire, so she comes to the conclusion that the best she can do to prevent this fucker from influencing her negatively is to monitor their interactions and interject to keep the kid on the "right" track morally speaking.

Part of me wants to make it so they mutually broke up after Charlie made her deal with Alastor (Vaggie would've had a justified reason to be upset with her for being reckless and Charlie would've still been upset with Vaggie for keeping such a huge secret from her for years, so a fight would make the most canonically compliant sense here)…

…but I also think that keeping her and Charlie purely platonic from the get-go with Vaggie still working her way out of the militaristic mindset that was drilled into her in the past will generally be easier for me to successfully pull off.

This may or may not result in Vaggie trying to teach a five years old Dawn to fight with a spear that her little hands can barely even hold in the name of self defense :'D

As for Lilith… I don't know if I'll even really touch on her in the story? Mostly bc I have no clue what any of the clues we've gotten so far could mean for her personality-wise ^^" She could be the worst mom in the history of moms or the woman we saw by the beach was secretly Eve all along or maybe Lilith is actually playing some kind of 6d chess we don't see all of the pieces of for everyone's greater good - it's too many variables to really come to any one conclusion ^^"

I'll have to think about it in more detail later down the line…

Question 2: What were Charlie and Alastor trying to do when accidentally conjuring Dawn?

See, the exterminations are still happening bi-yearly now that Lute is in charge and Sera refuses to lift a finger to keep them in line, so the thirst for vengeance continues to go unquenched, only growing as time passes.

Great question, and one with an answer!

To add to that, Emily and a handful of others in heaven are getting worried about some ominous visions archangel Ramiel has been having and thought it best to entrust Charlie with Lucifer's old grimoire (that he wrote before he fell).

The reason? It appears in some of Ramiel's visions and they're hoping there's some kind of helpful thing in there.

And, more importantly, it's written in an ancient angelic language, one that Charlie isn't fluent in.

The spell they used to create Dawn is actually titled something Charlie translated to "Tool Of Infinite Potential"

So Charlie thought huh! Maybe this can help protect us better in the next etermination without relying on dad again or has some other hidden purpose I'm not yet privvy to that will help with restoring balance to heaven? It's scribbled across the last two pages of the book.

The spell requires at least two casters - so clearly it must be a powerful one, right?

The only people coming to mind powerful enough to handle that sort of magic would be Lucifer and Alastor - but considering the grimoire is written more like a diary and Charlie is very certain she wasn't meant to even have it to begin with, her father falls out of the equation.

So… they were techincally always trying to create Dawn, they just didn't know it yet due to a translation error :'D

That left Alastor, who then talked her into giving it a shot.

What neither of them knew yet was that Charlie mistranslated the spell - it's not "Tool" of infinite potential, but "Vessel". What is the forbidden offspring of an angel but a vessel of infinite potential? To raise up and teach whatever knowledge and beliefs you want?

Question 3: Would Alastor try to eat the baby?

No :'DDD

He's unhinged, yes. He doesn't normally like children - that is also correct.

Also Alastor is nothing if not an opportunist and after the initial surprise and shock and double-checking their notes to make sure they performed the ritual correctly… There's two things happening in his brain.

But I don't think he'd just try to fucking. Eat a child that was a rather costly fucking thing to make - sucking up not only materials and hours of planning but also one of his shadow minions, his blood and a literal piece of his soul.

Maybe he'd joke about it eating it to remove it after seeing Charlie vastly more in distress about the whole ordeal? But not really mean it, if so, yet still receiving a horrified glare from the princess lol.

Firstly: This child is equal parts him and Charlie - he recognizes the chance to mold and shape a young demon that might be on par with Charlie in terms of power in his image.

Secondly: He's hyperaware that he talked Charlie into doing this ritual, the baby undeniably looks like it's his - he's as much to blame here as her mistranslation.

There's a responsibility there for him, as both participant and not quite willing donor. That child has a literal piece of both of their souls in it and I genuinely don't think his internalized misandry and planet-sized pride would allow him to be like the deadbeat dads he's offed quite a few of in life now that he's put in a similar position. He would want to be better than his own father at least - especially if he wanted to succeed at shaping this kid completely to his will.

THANK YOU AGAIN SO MUCH FOR THIS ASK!!! I hope this wasn't too bothersome in length to read through ^^" (even tho I had a blast writing this up all evening lol)

Have a great day <3

Murder Drones AU I've Been Thinking About:

Wassup Murder Drones fandom!? I've been thinking about Murder Drones AUs, and I've got some exciting ideas, but my personal favorite that I'm brainstorming on is what I've been calling the "Imposter Uzi AU", where Uzi builds herself a fake Murder Drone body. Info under the cut.

My idea is that at some point after Nori died, so did Khan. Maybe he was a victim of Doll when she lost control of the solver (à la Cabin Fever with Uzi). Regardless of why, Uzi is left an orphan, and she gets evicted from her apartment, being left on her own since no one wants to let the 'freak' into their family.

Uzi grows up even more bitter than before, growing to resent the colony that has left her to rust and decided she wasn't good enough to be happy.

Using her natural tech skills, Uzi begins to prepare a plan to ditch the colony and go off on her own. Since she was already breaking down from rust and needed to replace her parts, what if Uzi upgraded herself?

Using the oh so feared Murder Drones as a model, Uzi begins to take herself apart and rebuild herself better and stronger than ever.

(My model of Uzi in this AU. The sizes are inconsistent because my paper only had so much room.)

Uzi in her Worker Drone mode looks innocent enough, other than the fact that her mouth never changes expression, and that her feet are yellow-black striped. In her Disassembly Drone mode, Uzi shows off her REAL intimidation factor.

The reason she can't move her mouth is because she replaced it with a rusty but very strong bear trap that she unhinges her mouth to access. Her tail is made using one of Khan's screwdrivers that she kept ahold of for sentimentality. Her feet hinge to form the peg-legs of a DD.

The peg-legs give Uzi some extra height, but not enough to stand at a convincing Disassembler height, so Uzi also added the ability to extend her neck, allowing for her gargantuan bites to have deceptive range.

Uzi's hands can screw off and be replaced with her blade hand and Railgun hand, which she stores inside of her coat (that's also where she hides her tail)

Uzi was never able to figure out how to make the wings and headband work properly, so what she has is actually N's parts that she stole from him when she killed him (she had no clue he would come back to life).

All in all, Uzi has turned herself into a killing machine, though she still isn't strong enough to beat a REAL DD in combat. Her only advantage is a stronger bite, but she's still less agile, lacks acid, covered in rust, and lacks a healing factor. In exchange, Uzi can survive sunlight and doesn't need to drink Drone Oil to survive, being able to use other forms of sustinence.

Eventually, Uzi has to leave the colony after getting found out, and she meets N. Uzi kills him out of fear, and steals his parts, but when he regenerates, she now looks close enough to a real DD for N, V and even J to be fooled (they were actively programmed not to question sketchy things so that they don't uncover Cyn/J.C Jenson's secrets, and Uzi's a good-ish actor).

The Murder Drones accept 'Serial Designation Z' into their silly little murder group, deciding that the "rusty old model still can't be more useless than N." (J's words, not mine). Eventually, they all grow to actually care about each other as a found family, but tension is in the air.

Uzi knows that her secret is going to get out at some point, and that the DDs wont take kindly to being tricked. She's already changed her name, eaten her own kind, and all but erased any sign of her old self to be able to call the Drones her family, but she still lives in terror of what they might think of her when they find out the truth...

Mercs helping with Periods (Part 3)

GENDER NEUTRAL :DD

Spy:

-ugly stupid frenchman who doesn't care about anyone but himself

-but this is fandom so you think I really care? no.

-He's a womanizer, man. like his ass doesn't know what a period is.

-Anyways he's super romantic! Always showering you in kisses everywhere, stomach, neck, shoulders, everywhere!

-"Aw, Mon Cheri~ Vill this make you feel better ?" He lays you on his bed and pulls your shirt up kissing all around your hip bones and belly. You giggly tell him to stop cus it tickles.

-Whenever you lash out at him/get angry if he does something you don't like he smoothly gets out of being punished

-Like you could be fucking furious but his ass will make you fall for him once more in less than an hour

-Massage expert. Like. Massages anytime anywhere.

-He's the one that makes baths for you to relax your muscles in

-the few times he's physically romantic (like with the kissing) he hugs you and holds onto you more often

-He actually sleeps in the same bed as you! Win win!

-When you get hungry he makes you food <3 mostly french food but he's open to making you something you crave

-THEE. shoulder to cry on dude. He comforts you so much and whenever you latch onto him his body is all warm. presumably from all the smoking

-He doesn't want you to talk to the mercs while you're on your cycle because if they say something slightly offensive he doesn't want you to be hurt by them

-"You all must be less of imbeciles while shes around, le bien?" He says angrily pointing at everyone. They all nod nervously, they don't really want him sneaking up on them anyways

-Oh how he loves his Mon Cheri <3 everything just for them

Medic:

-the one i've been waiting for, for so long.

-As an ex doctor, Medic is always caring and loving with you

-He knows when your period comes after a bunch of tests, and after all as his love he wants to make sure he's always available!

-Coddles you 24/7, he treats you like you're bed ridden and only wants you to stay in so he can take care of you <3

-He's always trying to make sure you're okay. At the drop of a hat he would zoom off to you if you yell his name

-"Oh vat's wrong, liebling?" He says as he rubs your aching stomach. He would lay his head on your stomach and hum.

-Always feeding you, does the stupid airplane thing if you're acting angry

-Speaking of angry, if you lash out to him he usually ignores it and continues to baby you.

okay. I'm sorry but I had to write a NSFW part because he legit. like. the demons in my brain are telling me to (NSFW WARNING AHEAD)

-He's into period sex, he finds it fascinating. absolutely hot.

-He already has fun teasing you with blood on his hands after surgery, so having your own blood on him turns him on 100%

-likes the smell. yeah i know it's gross but what do you expect from a fucking freak doctor who stole a patients skeleton

-"Did jou know sex is a great way to relieve menstrual cramps?" He taunts you as he kisses you up against your neck.

-Knowing you're on you period turns him on so much. All he wants to do is fuck you until there's blood on over your thighs

-Now this man is disgusting and unsanitary but! He still gives you showers and baths, of course, he has to be in it with you.

-He likes watching the blood fall from your legs and down the drain, usually muttering the most unhinged horny things in german.

k I'm sorry. like. fr. Thanks 4 reading though!

[starsurface]

LOVED the diapered babyspace Liu Kang post, especially because I’ve been so sick with a tooth abscess this week and these were so comforting to read!! tysm!!! I’d love to see any more you have for diapered Liu across both timelines lol, especially if he’s feeling fussy because maybe he got sick too but needs Raiden to look after him? They’re so precious! 😭

I'm so glad you liked them!!! I'm very glad they they're comforting for you, Sugar. <3 These are a bit more on them being sick, but I promise there are some diaper hcs there too!!!

Also I hope you feel better!!!! That really doesn't sound super fun. :(

A quick restate from my last Padded Request:

(Some strong languageuse) Before we get to the hcs, I want to say that there is nothing wrong with using or needing diapers. Some people use diapers use them for weird kink related things, but with age regression they are used for comfort and unfortunate inconvenience. Do not come to my blog because you wish to relate this with any kind of kink. Kindly fuck off and leave my blog alone, thank you.

^ This isn’t to bash regressors btw!!! This is me saying to fuck off if your a dd/lg or any type of blog like that. <3

CG Lord Raiden w/ Babyspace Regressor Liu Kang That Uses Diapers MK11 Hcs pt 2

⛈️ Liu Kang doens’t get sick often, normally he get use his powers to burn whatever he has away

❤️‍🔥 Othertimes he’d just tough it out, either until it goes away, or until Kung Lao forces him to go to bed (and that’s when he’s sick sick)

⛈️ Raiden is a bit upset when he finds out how sick Liu kang is, and how he tried to ignore his physical health to train, but any lecture he has is going to have to wait

❤️‍🔥 Why? Because the moment Liu Kang sees him he starts blubbering, making grabby hands towards his Dada

⛈️ He’s tiny tiny too, feeling all sick and icky, he just wants to be babbied :(

❤️‍🔥 Raiden will put him into some padding, which makes Liu Kang very fussy

⛈️ He might feel icky and tiny, but he doesn’t need one!!! He’s big! He swears he’s big! >:(

❤️‍🔥 Raiden gently shushes him, saying it’s just a precaution, and lets Liu Kang throw a small tantrum before changing him

⛈️ Unfortunaly . . . Liu does end up needing it, which only makes a crying fit happen

❤️‍🔥 Raiden gently shushes him, rocking the poor boy before giving him a gentle bath and changing him again

⛈️ Liu Kang ends up feeling better quickly, especially with how Raiden makes him have yucky medicine and a lot of naptime

❤️‍🔥 Liu Kang would despise any kind of colorful design on his padding

⛈️ Those are baby baby diapers!!! He doesn’t need to use those!!! >:O

❤️‍🔥 He’d much rather have plain padding, atleast for a while

⛈️ Would be devastated if anyone other than Raiden, Kitana, or Kung Lao knew he used them

❤️‍🔥So when Raiden accidentally forgets to put the box away and Sonya questions him about it? 

⛈️ Freak. Out.

❤️‍🔥 Absolute tears, sobbing over the fact someone found out, even if Raiden was asked about it and Liu wasn’t

⛈️ ^ Don’t worry, the rest of the gang was very supportive about it, and Sonya apoligized for snooping through Raiden’s room (she wasn’t snooping, she was just trying to find Raiden, total difference, but whatever 🙄)

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

CG Raiden w/ Babyspace Regressor Liu Kang That Uses Diapers MK1 Hcs pt 2

🌩️ Gods don’t usually get sick, such an ocurance is extremely rare

🌟 But that doesn’t mean it’s truly impossible

🌩 His monks are the one who send him back home, and Liu Kang uses his baby monitor to kinda beg for Raiden to come over

🌟 He wants his Rai Rai, and he feels too tiny to get up :(

🌩 Luckily, Raiden came over very quickly, almost in a rush (he didn’t want his baby to be all icky and alone)

🌟 Liu Kang is a little less fussy about wearing some padding, but still whines and tell Raiden that he’s not that tiny 🥺

🌩 Although . . . he clearly is, and Raiden isn’t buying his little fit

🌟 He does end up needing them, which does resolve in another crying fit, but Raiden’s very soft and gentle about it

🌩 Giving Liu Kang a nice warm bath, putting him into something comfy, it’s never nice feeling small and icky :(

🌟 Kung Lao pulled some strings and got Liu Kang and Raiden some soup from Madam Bo’s (Madam Bo just also adores baby Liu Kang, and might have given him a discount . . . Lao calls favortism)

🌩 He does feel better very quickly!! Being a God, and a fire God, he ends up feeling good about the next day

🌟 Is a little more open to padding with cute designs on them, especially since Raiden has some for when he’s small

🌩 Gasped and almost became a bit excited when Raiden showed him one with tiny dragons on it, and those are the ones that Liu Kang uses the most

🌟 ^ It does help Liu Kang’s little fits about padding lessen, and Raiden didn’t know why he didn’t think of something dragon related earlier

🌩 Or, until Johnny made a small joke about it, and now Liu Kang’s crying in Raiden’s arms

🌟 Johnny gets sent to a timeout, which also causes him to regress, and now Raiden has two fussy little ones to take care of

🌩 Liu Kang upset because he was just getting more comfy with padding and even though Johnny’s joke was more about dragons, it was still about him using padding and he didn’t like it

🌟 And Johnny’s upset because in his eyes, he didn’t do anything wrong!! He just made a joke, he doesn’t know why Liu Liu’s all upset!!

🌩 ^ Don’t worry, Johnny does apoligize after Raiden explains that Liu doesn’t like those kind of jokes, and Liu Kang does forgive him (and gets Johnny out of a second timeout because Kenshi wasn’t too happy about the situation)

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Imagine when ghost and fix get back gaz, soap and price see her covered in the copilots blood and but the twist is they don’t know if it’s her blood or not 👀

ALSO I AM IN LOVE WITH SNOWBLIND SM (and everything you write ✨

And do you have a 🪽 ,🧋,🌸,🍵,✨, ⭐️ or 🦋 anon :0

Oh see the thing is and (spoilers)

There's a possibility that Fix doesn't go back with Ghost. I'm still figuring it out, but Fix may decided to go after the asset the team was originally after despite the odds and the number of men left. Price is furious, and so is Laswell, but the info get get from said asset ends up saving lives, so Fix gets off with some light punishment that she's fine with receiving because look- look at what she did!

Also I haven't talked about it much but @gazs-blue-hat and I have an AU with her OC where she, Johnny, and Kyle get stuck on a cruise of death, which is the mission I briefly nod to when I say Kyle and Johnny are busy with their own assignment.

But yes when Fix comes back bloodied and bruised and the team freaks, but she's like a cat carrying back prey in her mouth going :D Look! I did good! Brought back the target! :DD

#oc: fix #fic: snowblind

HI PO ULIT!!!! 🫶🫶

ang galing nyo po talaga magsulat lagi akong natutuwa HAAHAHAHA

not a request po (yet hehehe), pero ask ko lang po, who do u think the atsv characters would be if nasa like regency fantasy au sila?? may kingdoms elves ganunn HAHAHA

un lang po, ok lang po kung wala kayong maisip question ko lang din HAHAHAHA

Thank u po, have a great day!!! 🫶🫶🫶

-🫶 anon

HI 🫶ANON :DDD omg kaaaaa ang cute ng idea <:) OKOK soooo here's what i think our atsv babes would be in a fantasy au !! (do be warned, i am not that well-versed in fantasy aus so i'm sorry if i repeat too many roles 😭😭😭)

atsv characters in a fantasy au

miles (earth 1610 - young wizard, formerly wizard's apprentice)

ok, i like to think that our boy here happened upon peter b in a time when magic was hardly practiced the right way anymore (think of the world of onward for example, where they rely on modern day inventions and less on magic to get by) and it was considered a dangerous discipline to practice so only few have mastered it and know how to use it.

miles would've, in my mind, been gifted with magic even if no one in his family for centuries have been magic users or whatever else related to magic, but his uncle aaron and dad used to dabble in some dark magic as young boys so that kinda fits in with the spider man parallels and also lowkey would introduce miles to the world of magic maybe if he went through their old stuff and found out they dabbled in that stuff? (idk i'm just mad delulu)

since magic was kinda banned he didn't really have any interest in it until signs of him being a natural magic user came to light and he started freaking out because magic isn't allowed n stuff so he tries his hardest not to let it show.

when he met peter b, he was taught how to keep the magic in control while also using it for good and not harming others :DD then he realizes that magic is only evil when you make it evil, hence he becomes less anxious about his powers and learns to use them right and accept himself.

his alignment would be lawful and/or neutral good i think

miles (earth 42 - bandit and mage)

ok so since 42 miles is pretty much a stark contrast to 1610 miles, i like to think that in this miles' universe, he was never born with any abilities and was like the rest of his family.

his uncle aaron and dad still dabbled in some dark magic as young boys, so when his dad died, his uncle aaron taught him how to use dark magic properly and how to be a mage.

he used the dark magic to become a bandit, hence his role, and he uses everything he steals for his mom's like healing........ fantasy place....... WHAT IS IT CALLED I'M SORRY 😭😭😭 but yeah, he's kind of true neutral imo, he's not particularly evil nor is he particularly good, he's in very in-between about it all.

gwen stacy (female knight, formerly bandit)

ok so gwen formerly being a bandit would kind of be like, she didn't steal from innocent people, she was more of a vigilante robin hood figure that 'stole from the rich and gave back to the poor' kinda deal.

she wouldn't be too fond of the guards in their homeland :(

she became a female knight when she joined the elite force led by miguel and became one of their greatest warriors n stuff and she quit being a bandit, but a part of her longs to be helping people in a more free and less strict way.

their job is to hunt down and stop wizards and active magic users even though a lot of people are pushing for them to be part of society again, and she hates having to stop them because they all mean well anyway and not all of them are evil ok >:(

she'd probably be neutral good/lawful neutral

pavitr prabhakar (male elf and knight)

oh he'd be a trickster, a fun one to have in your party. he'd be a mischievous elf that can outsmart you in any fight.

he just recently joined the ranks of miguel's elite force and is one of their craftiest ones, he can make a friend out of any enemy, his charisma is THROUGH THE ROOF

he and hobie are a dynamic duo together !!

he'd be...... chaotic good :>

hobie brown (bard and rogue ex-knight turned bandit)

he was a bard and a bandit ever since, just like gwen, he disliked the guards in his homeland for their crappy treatment of the poor and havenots, so he does their job for them and steals from the corrupt rich and gives back to the poor.

he took in gwen when she ran away from her homeland, and from one bandit to another, he taught her more efficient tricks at foraging and a little bit of stealth.

when he joined miguel's elite force, he really didn't feel right about it since the minute he joined. he had avoided them for the longest time and decided this place wasn't for him way before miles tried joining.

he's chaotic good/neutral >:)

miguel o'hara (ex-wizard and now commander of an elite force of multiversal guards)

okkkk lore dump: miggy used to be a self-made wizard who came from the very distant future of 2099 when magic was slowly being integrated back into the system along with technology. he was a very powerful wizard, but it was magic that killed his daughter when he opened a mystic portal that took him to a timeline where he was happy and had a daughter, but that whole timeline got erased because he wasn't supposed to be there, yadda yadda yadda, and so he abandoned magic in favor of technology because no magic could resurrect his daughter from the dead. what he could do now was assemble a bunch of elite knights that would protect the multiverse from magic users who posed as threats.

he still has magic in his veins and he hates himself for it :(

when he met miles and tried to explain how magic is evil, and miles defending himself and his powers, claiming magic is only evil when you use it for evil--he fucking broke down inside because he knew that what he did wasn't supposed to be done.

he's lawful/neutral good (or thinks of himself as, well tbh he doesn't fall in any of these categories tbh..........? he just does what has to be done.)

peter b parker (magician who's also a mentor, formerly a wizard)

now peter b was a magician after his wizard career, it was because he was a wizard that he and mj split up, with him wanting to prove to the world that magic wasn't evil and he could help change that but mj couldn't believe in him and wanted him to change his view on it.

he hated magic for ruining his relationship with mj, but when he met miles and taught him how to use his magic for good, he was so glad to know he was right through miles, his best and only student.

he stopped being a wizard though because he wanted to have a family with mj when she took him back, and now, he just practices like party magic for kids (he feels offended bc it ain't real magic, but it pays well in their world, surprisingly)

he's be.......... neutral good ig (idk)

okayyyyyyyy initial bravern finale thoughts. i think i will be thinking abt this show for the next 7-10 business years so more to come ofc but. AH!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ISAMI SINGING THE OP LET THAT BE DIEGETIC TOO!!!!!!!!!! AND ALSO ON SPOTIFY!!!!!!!!!!

isami off his Fucking rocker at that one point like Yeah you deserve it king go OFF LMAO. i found that quite satisfying :] real talk tho for as much as i call him baby rice cracker all the time i really love him as a protagonist? like he just feels so damn human in the way he struggles so much but tries his best and then gets hit AGAIN but keeps trying again and again anyways. it's really good! and his whole arc of like. learning that he Can rely on others and with that reliance brings mutual care..............sobs

i love that piloting these fucking things just makes your hair grow. LMFAO

okay i know i've been complaining abt the translation of "bang brave" or whatever tf smith keeps saying before he dies BUT the reveal that that is just ANOTHER thing he's doing bc he's a Fucking Freak and isami thinks it's weird too KILLED ME. smith: "brave bang :]" isami: If You Say That Shit One More Time You're Sleeping On The Couch Tonight". what is wrong with you lewis smith!!!!!!!!!!

i wouldn't be atall surprised if this show got the ssssg treatment and got four million random manga/light novel spinoffs especially considering it's consistently like the most popular show in japan lmao. the lulu-superbia spinoff sounds like a lot of fun so i'd def be interested to see more in that vein!!! i need to learn japanese tho cause no way they're getting eng translations!!!!

i feel like. there is a specific Vibe of mecha thing that verum vita fits which Also includes dissonanza backarrow and uhhhh idk the name but that one mf who pops up in ep30ish of gaogaigar and is just kinda like. observing? like verum vita is not a court jester like the other two and this analysis does not go any deeper than Vibes but. it had me leo dicaprio pointing like. another one!!!

i'm literally obsessed with the unhinged worldbuilding in this show. like?

population is nine billion???

the suez canal is still blocked????

if you're gay you can just. Do That ???

like i love that they don't explain this shit either it's so funny to me. LMAO

something something smith can only express himself and his love for isami as bravern not just bc it gives him as a character/person separation from his Human Self but also. bc i wouldn't be surprised if that was The Way to get the queer stuff so blatant, bc he was in robot form rather than one human man saying "i love you" to another and then glomping him in an explicitly romantic sense after all the talk of riding and him being inside him. LMAO. this isn't a complaint beyond a vague shake of the fist at Corporations and TV Censors, just smth i think is REALLY interesting and which i had a surprising amount of fun watching play out from a story perspective :]

i feel like my hottest bravern take is and will always be that i really don't mind the 12eps LMAO. like i thought it provided a fun variety of Situations with which to deal with the DDs and it didn't give it enough time for the gimmick or mystery elements to start to feel old. also i am just generally of the opinion that most stories would work better if you wrote them to be told in X amount of time and then had to trim off like. 40% of that. so i know it's a personal thing but i think it worked well for bravern!!

i do wish we'd gotten to see smith and isami hug if only cause i think isami fuckin needs it. LMAO. but overall i'm satisfied w their arc, especially bc i think the whole "beyond bang brave" thing works REALLY well w smith returning to his human body. like as soon as superbia kicked it i had a feeling that would happen, and obv it's textually referring to isami/bravern/lulu's massive super robot powerup, but i also think it can just mean like. what happens After? cause smith keeps saying "bang brave" or whatever tf when he dies but to go Beyond that is to come back to life and experience a life where he can receive love, too (i.e., via cooking and food AND ALSO via Literally being brought back to life from bravern's heart. who had just merged with isami on a particle level or whatever lmao). so i'm rly satisfied with how it played out in the end :]

overall i think my only real complaint w the show on the whole aside from the military propaganda was that the boys looked like such fucking DERPS in half their shots. lmao. like obviously i'm biased cause i'm a sakuga whore and i actually rly do like their more realistic style a surprising amount cause i usually don't go for that sort of thing but uh. there's a reason that lulu is the human i gif most often and it's cause she always looked better than them by a long shot FSKDLJH. her character animation was consistently the best & most expressive and she was always the most on-model which. FUCKING DESERVED BTW. her arc was incredible and i'm so excited to rly think about her some more and dig into her as like. a rei ayanami clone (maybe even specifically rebuild? w the "your hair grows long inside your mecha" thing) but who takes control of HER OWN STORY TOO and is able to grow wildly beyond being that story point. like i love that she's taken care of too. agh she's really such an amazing character maybe i'll have to cosplay her too FKLDJSHF i'm rotating her in my brain So Much

overall that was really good and i really enjoyed it and i can't wait for the blurays <333 i love it when robot shows are made by people who love robot shows!!!!!

27 asks! Thank you for all the kind words! :}}}💙💙💙

@network-warrior-01

Funnily enough I have been thinking a lot recently about making my own web comic, right here on Tumblr! I have a lot of concepts, although I don't know if I'd make a separate comic just for the Factual Fam. I feel like they kind'a already have a web comic..? In a way.?

And I feel like if I made a story driven comic about us, separate from the ones I'm already making.. It would feel.. idk, off? My lil guys are meant to be with me, going with the flow of whatever's going on with my blog/my life. This is their story. Their lives with me are their story. If that makes sense?? I'm not sure if I have any other ideas in mind for them.. what would their world even look like if I wasn't in it or if it was different from what they have now..??

But on the other note, could you imagine? Me? Making a 100% original comic? With my own original characters, story, and world? Its a daunting thought. The sheer amount of stuff I would have to plan and the amount of angst I could inflict on ya'll would be insane <XDD

And yeahh,, the fanart thing would be a problem... <:/

The four of them sit together at the base of my stuffed animal pile. Nice and cozy! :}}

@cudlycorncornsworthcoberson

Actually the quilts are rather deceiving, they're just for show! <XD Bibi was conscious and could talk when he was still a picture. And he became a drawing without the use of a quilt. Jangles had a quilt but was still a picture. He was later "brought to life" with my pen!

The thing about all that life stuff, quilts, pens.. its honestly just for show. Those things don't bring them to life, I do. The flashy ways I do it are just for fun <XD

And about Cici! She was talking! And I think kind'a the idea as to why Jangles could hear them both was not only for the spooks. But becuase Cici and Gerald's concepts were so strongly developed at that point they were basically fully fleshed out characters. Their bodies just didn't exist yet. Hence the "I cant see" I hadn't stitched her button eyes on yet!

So basically their personalities and designs had been thought out. They just weren't there yet. But their presence was still so strong.. And Jangles being a picture kind'a bridged the gap between the concept world and the drawn one. If that makes sense??

He could still hear them after he was drawn though, I guess its an ability that he kept even after being art-ified..? <XD My lore's a little whack- its best not to look too far into it!

Also thank you! I'm glad you liked it all! :DD

Like I've said before, the best way to show you care is with comments. That's what would make me the happiest. :)

And sure I will! Some comics and random cameos here and there.. I already have some comics in mind.. 👀👀

I haven't seen the Puss in boots movie, but something tells me you're right XD

Hmm.. I don't actually know.. That's a good question :0

I guess they would react the same if us humans found a group of people like that. And what would humans do? Probably report it to someone?? <XD

@minophlia

XDD Thank you! I'm so glad you like me and what I make!! :DDD

Giant scary abstracted monsters that attack anything in the vicinity?? Nope nope nope!! Jevil would FREAK OUT and Immediately warp them out of there with a mirror. Cant risk anyone getting hurt!

That's not a half bad idea! :0 I'll see if I can remember to get around to it <XD

Also thank you so much!! :DD

All I know of punch out is from smash bros. And I got beef with Little Mac. Anytime anyone plays as him they always kick my butt XDD

I imagine Jevil wouldn't tolerate it much. If Jax was being a butt towards Jevil that's one thing. But as soon as he starts to direct that to anyone else in the group- especially Seam.. Then there's gonna be a problem. :x

Seam would be annoyed. But its likely the same as Jevil. He doesn't really care about his antics, but as soon as its directed at Jevil or someone else.. well then there's a problem-

@abaroo

Thank you so much!! :DD And of course I held his widdle hand! He needed the emotional support! He was making the biggest decision he's ever made in his life- <XD

And you're welcome! <XD I'm so glad you liked it! :}}

No no no no that is the wrong habitat for me!

I need to be put in a cardboard box with all the flaps open except for 1. There needs to be a grassy/muddy floor and a bowl of water.

Then put this box out in your backyard in the pouring rain. Don't give me anything to warm myself, and only feed me refrigerated watermelon. Now THAT'S what I call a comfy habitat!

@multiverse-city

Thank you so much! :DD I appreciate the compliments!! :}}

Although I'm sorry to say that I don't want me and my critters to show up as background characters.. <:( Sorry!

He probably has a couple of times yeah. Maybe right after big events or shows he got pushed over the edge and crashed.. :(

He might..? But I think Freddy would want to give Bonnie space.. Becuase when Bonnie is overwhelmed, that's what he wants. Is silence and space. And when Freddy is around Bonnie he would try to be really quiet and not move around too much..

So many siblings...

My only thought is that my version of the Daycare Attendant would better fit the role of Kaufmo. :0 The idea that he suddenly disappears, only to reemerge as a monster..

That, and I would shoe horn a bunch of unnecessary angst in there XDD

:DD Thank you so much!! :}}}

WAAAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Its so nice to hear that even though you knew nothing about the characters, you still loved my comic!! :DD And thinking my critters have depth?? And feel human?? WAAA THANK YOUUU!!! I try to give them all separate personality's and really put some emotion into them, I'm so glad you've noticed! It seems to be working! :DD

And again a thousand thank you's for the compliments to my sona! :DD The bloodied hands and dripping face getting worse and worse as the comic progresses to show my exhaustion,, even the comically placed hands! I put a lot of heart into all of it and I'm so happy that you've noticed!!

Thank you for all the kind words! Sending platonic love right back at ya!! :DDD 💙💙💙

@anartistwhowrites

THANK YOU!! :DDD

<XD Noooo don't cry! Thank you though, I'm glad you liked it! :))

@beryl-shade

One word; Horrified.

Aww, I'm sorry it made you cry! <:(( But I'm glad you liked it none the less! <:}}}

@badlyblurry

Darn <XD I had it match my Tumblr's theme.

@crimson-thinker

My main thing is it just feels like they "stole" what I made and drew it without asking me. And then turned around and gave it to me as a gift. Which obviously isn't what fanart actually is. But that's just how it feels.

But hey, your ask has many more reasons for me to not like fanart <XDD

The idea I had was they can use Power-Ups purely becuase they're human. Like, something about just being human gives you access to the power the Power-Ups have. .

Do you have a different idea though? I'd love to hear it! :)

THE NIGHTMARE NEARBY, chapter two

the corinthian x gender neutral!reader

word count: 7,1K

warnings: mention of death and (slightly?) description of a dead body. description of injuries and blood. angst, sort of but there will be some fluff as well. the corinthian being in denial, believe me, we need a warning for that. and reader being an anxious mess (and that's okay!!!).

summary: after sharing a coffee with the man in sunglasses, was time to go back to work. back to a case that you were sure that it'd bring you more disappointments than anything. however, things took a turn when you suddenly started to stand your ground — not only at your job but yourself.

A/N: Just like the last one, this chapter is going to be very long so sorry but it was necessary! From now on I will let you know that, closer to the end of this chapter, the hobby that is mentioned by The Corinthian in a conversation with the detective is inspired by an idea by @the-darklings from the fic 'today i bury you in me', I recommend you to read it! I particularly love it! I hope you enjoy today's chapter :DD

| chapter one. | fic's masterlist |

chapter two: the detective and the tracks of a killer

The sun pricked your skin as you reached the street of your police department. Perhaps, drinking too much coffee on a hot morning wasn’t the best of ideas but what could you say? When you were having a good talk with someone, it was mandatory to drink the best drink in the place, wasn’t it?

At least, drinking coffee and having a good conversation before work saved your mood for that day.

To the point that when a strange man bumped into you along the way, you didn't even complain or let it cause the neurons in your head to burn out. While he just whispered ‘I'm sorry’, you nodded and said ‘no problem’. It was okay.

Because now, for the first time, despite feeling this continuous anguish slowly tearing you apart inside. For once, you were genuinely okay. It sounded weird, right? But it was the truth.

A small but mighty light relieved that pain in your back and shoulders. Something to remind you that besides all the suffering boiling your blood and keeping you from a good night (and day) of sleep, you were still you. You had your own feelings despite the ones you carried in.

Sometimes, it was hard to remember it. And, when you were reminded of it, it helped you to keep going.

From all of this, feeling okay for the first time wasn’t even the strangest one. The strangest thing was that it came from a conversation with a man you didn’t even know the name of. In fact, you knew nothing about him but his job. He could say the same thing about you.

Honestly, although all of this sounded strange indeed and a foolish thing to feed on, you were enjoying it. Something was intriguing about making a deal with a journalist who had previously been on the brink of getting you fired at the cost of his work.

Furthermore, there was a lightness in sharing a little of the suffering of cases like your current one with someone. Saying your theories out loud to someone, indirectly helped you to put everything the measuring inside your head. While everything you talked about revolved around your case, the killer, and how an unsub's mind works in different situations, there was something liberating about talking about such things with someone who wouldn't think you were a freak.

That was what you had longed for without even realizing it: to find someone that would understand what you'd say, and what you'd feel to some extent.

Even if you kept it all up your sleeves, never showing it. Somehow, the man in sunglasses always seemed to know what crossed your mind and soul, feeling the same suffering. As if, like you, he was cursed to take in the pain of others, even those who didn't deserve it.

It was strange, indeed. Typically, it would bother you and keep you alert. But it didn’t, there was that voice hidden in you that whispered constantly, saying it was okay to let him in. That, in an even stranger way, the two of you were the same.

Upon entering the precinct, you kept a few things in mind — mainly, subjects and points which you had commented about less than an hour ago. You need to remember facts or assumptions about your actual’s unsub before returning to work.

1. The unsub is a man.

You ignored some of the police that greeted you as you made your way to the entrance. What, that day, you’d end up regretting doing so.

2. He seeks control but isn’t just that, never is that simple.

If you had at least glanced at them, you’d noticed that there was something wrong at work that day.

3. He is killing young prostitute boys because they rarely investigate cases like this (so surely you investigating his killings must have pissed him off).

Entering the department, you waved briefly to the people at the counter. Without even noticing the pitying look they shared over your figure as you made your way to her division.

4. Although he doesn't seem to want anyone to know about his murders, something about how he leaves the murder scene behind says otherwise.

Completely unaware of what waited for you.

5. Cry out for attention? Maybe?

Before continuing your way, you paused for some coffee. You were psychologically preparing to reread your files and continue searching for something that will give you a more accurate direction.

PS: That was another reason for you to agree not to let anything slip to the press.

Then, back to the hallways. It didn’t take you much to arrive at your division, the difficult part would always be to reach your office before any of your colleagues could piss you off.

6. Newspapers are talking about the police investigating nightclubs but nothing about why. An unsub that wants attention may get impatient when nobody else knows about his killings and isn’t frightened by them, of what is hiding in the shadows.

However, to your surprise, they said nothing to you. No teasing, joking, or anything they would do every time they crossed paths with you. That would be suspicious but you were too busy with your own head to reason that out.

7. Therefore, it would not take long for the unsub to change something. In their victimology, method, anything. Another possibility had crossed your mind since the last victim, something that while it would be helpful, could bring more problems both for you and for the case itself.

Someone called your name out, few people didn't refer to you as a detective before your last name. So it was easy to assume that whoever it was could be important.

You stopped in your tracks and turned your head, seeing the policewoman you've begrudgingly met for the past few months. Not that she was rude or cruel to you like her peers were, but on the other hand, she was way too social for your tastes.

Margaret MacDonald rushed toward you, nearly piercing the air with the speed and force with which her feet slammed into the ground. As usual, she had her uniform and her hair placed in a way that wouldn’t distract her if anything more physical than reading files was required of her.

Unlike some of her curious colleagues, she was really working with you in this case. In any way possible, of course. She was reading some of the files, highlighting what could help your investigation, strictly following your words, and helping you to keep the press away from the scenes.

She was more competent than any other officer who only would show up on the investigation more out of curiosity than anything else — which was very distractible. Bad thing was that she was committed to trying to get you to talk more.

“Officer MacDonald,” you politely smiled at her, before returning to try to get to your office, “I’m going to reread the files we have so far, try to discover more about our unsub. If you have new things to add, leave them on my table, please”

“I do have new things but it isn’t the type of one that you like,” her southern accent slipped nervously, catching you before you could go anywhere, “You were right yesterday”

“About what?” your brows snapped together. Glancing around, you noticed some of the other officers looking at you with pursed lips, as nervous as the officer by your side.

Something didn’t feel right.

“They found another boy, half an hour ago,” finally, you get a glimpse of what Officer MacDonald had in her hands, photos, “We didn’t find his eyes”

Holy-

“-Shit” you interrupted yourself before more curses ran right out of your mouth, turning your heels in another direction. The plan of rereading files was long forgotten, “He shortened the time between his killings”

Just what you had feared.

“He did,” the officer agreed, gulping, “The body is here”

You nodded, “Update me, please”

The woman bounced her head slightly, agreeing in silence, immediately behind you as you made your way toward another division in the precinct. One that was known to every employee there.

“I took the photos,” Officer MacDonald laid the pictures to you and you take them without saying a word, “Just like you asked, while I did it, the others did their job to keep the civils away as much as possible. There are a lot of photos, I know, sorry, but I wanted to make sure that I’d miss nothing”

“It’s okay,” you replied, studying the pictures in your hands quickly before facing the officer again, “What about Dr. O’Neil? Has he started examining already?”

“The body arrived about ten minutes at the morgue, I assume we’ll get there in time to accompany the doctor in running the tests,” she motioned to the direction that the both of you were taking, “Plus, nobody else was in the scene but us. I believe that your plan worked despite the circumstances”

“Good,” you bit the inside of your cheek, eyes flickering at the pictures one more time, “Better than being surprised by a crowd of reporters again”

The scene captured in the first photos was similar to the last ones, not to say identical. The door of the motel’s room was left open, you knew that if you asked the officer by your side, she’d give you the same answer as the last hundred times: it was the room maid who found the body, the door was already open when she got to the hall.

From the door, you looked at the corpse dropped in the middle of the room, over the bed. Blood soaked the beautiful and expensive blankets, along with the carpet underneath. The pictures showed too well how the blood dripped from the wounds on his torso down to his heels, splattering the floor.

You pulled your face, intrigued by the next photos. Closer to the body, the boy’s face was on full display. His sockets, where he once had eyes, were empty — filled with an endless dark red, you could see where the cut was made. No more wounds were obvious on his face, there were no marks around his eye sockets. The precise cut in the optic nerve was the only clue that a blade would have passed close to his face.

Unlike his face, his chest was filled with wounds. You turned over one of the photographs and read the note the officer made there. More than ten stab wounds. Like the other times, nothing has changed in the unsub pattern.

There were other things in the photos, of course. Some with evidence that was different from the last ones, but nothing could help you understand who the unsub was. The most normal thing in murder scenes was distinct evidence due to distinct circumstances. Not every killing would be exactly the same.

Yet, the suspect seemed to try his best to get them to be.

“No one saw the unsub?” you knew what the answer was but you still had to try.

“No,” Margaret sighed, prying at the photos from over your shoulder, “The staff pointed out that they don't tend to meddle when it comes to prostitutes doing their jobs”

“That’s new,” your voice was filled with irony, rolling your eyes to no one specifically, “There is something that I’m not seeing”

“Don't blame yourself,” the officer glanced at you, “Whoever the killer is, he knows what he is doing”

“I know but,” you shook your head, “It’s… Strange, that’s all.”

“Strange?”

“Yes, for now,” you nodded, giving a last look at the officer before turning your eyes back to the hall, “Until we have the Dr. O’Neil results”

It would be an understatement to say that you walk into the doctor's work area accompanied by officer MacDonald had been enough to ruin his mood for a day. Lately, it wouldn’t be difficult to assume that working on any of your cases was a torture session sent by Chief Brown.

According to the Chief, he only continued to head your cases for O'Neil to examine because you were the only one able to keep his ego in check. So yeah, on second thought, you and your demands were a torture session sent especially for the doctor.

You and Officer MacDonald stayed by his side while he did the victim’s autopsy. From discovering what was the cause of his death to looking for clues about your unsub through the injuries that he left behind with the body, that was Dr. O’Neil’s job — your job there was to make sure that all the right doubts were asked.

Only then, you could have the chance to find the answers you needed to have at least one more clue, this time who knows, one that really gave you a direction.

While the doctor (ever so patiently with you and your questions) ran his tests, you took it as an opportunity to reread the other files of the case, including, writing a new one about the recent victim with Officer MacDonald’s help. Who knew, it could help you to see something that you hadn’t before now that the unsub had attacked again.

In the end, after nearly eight hours, you had filled Dr. O’Neil’s office with notes, photographs, and loose papers. The doctor didn’t agree when the officer tried to bring an evidence board into his office. Then, it was easy to imagine his surprise when he returned from his lunch break, with your orders in his hands and facing what you had done to his office.

Anyway, you had ignored half of his complaints. After all, while he was off and the officer was distracted with your files, you had time enough to approach the victim’s body and take your gloves off, keeping them in your pockets for a moment.

The hairs on your arm stood on end as your hand met the morgue's temperature. But it didn't compare to the shivers that crept through your body when you briefly touched the shoulder of what was once Marcus Smith.

Like the last one, fear lingered in what was left of the boy's soul. Blinding you to darkness, turning you into a child that shivered every time the lights were off.

You didn’t feel your knees bruised, wrists tied and hurt or hair pulled back aggressively. None of that. Instead, you were walking, you could feel the floor creak under the weight of your footsteps.

You were holding something cold, if you were clumsy enough, it could easily slip from your hands.

The photo of a broken wine in the corner of the room, next to the bed rested in your gloved hands.

“Okay,” you took a deep breath, stepping away for a second from the notes on the floor, the photo still in hand as you tapped it, “All of the news that we have is information about the victim, like the others, a boy who was trying to survive on the streets”

“No family, no house…” Officer MacDonald muttered, licking her chapped lips, “He has no connection with the other victims, whatsoever. They didn't even work for the same person”

“They didn’t,” you nodded, “The murder scene is identical to the others if we don’t look at it too closely, there is something I am not seeing”

“That’s about what you said before?” she furrowed her brows, holding a photo of the scene.

“Yes, I guess,” you rubbed your temples, trying to soothe yourself and your overworked mind, “I’m not doing the right question”

In the background, the doctor clicked his tongue at your statement. You didn't even have to look at him to know he was shaking his head with a face of who clearly didn't want to be there. Doctor O’Neil was one of the many people who did not agree with your method of investigation: understanding the killer's behavior and what was going through his head and then building his profile. To him and many others, that sounded vague.

Maybe it really was. But how would that explain the fifty-plus cases you'd helped complete so far if it was?

You opened your mouth but closed it soon after, even so, why did you feel like you had said something? You didn’t. But the feeling was there as if a string of words had dropped from your mouth when you knew that it didn't.

In a way, it did.

A name skipped from your mouth but you couldn’t catch what it was. The words were messy in your head, twisted as you tried to put them together as if you were inside a dream.

However, the last thing it would be, it was a dream.

Fixing the gloves in your hands, you cleared your throat and glared at the doctor, “Since you're so willing to help me, doctor, please tell me the exam report.”

That was enough to make all that ego disappear from the man's face.

“Hm,” he puffed, turning back to the victim’s body, “Marcus Smith, twenty years old, took twenty stab wounds along his chest and two further down, in the stomach area. He died from blood loss while still in the tenth stab wound to the torso.”

“There are some cuts near his ankles. Nothing flashy,”, and you’re back to the voidness.

You continued to walk, and each step felt longer than it really was. It was like walking up to a hill, the sound of wood creaking was the only thing that confirmed you were there. Every creak pulled you into the moment, into the fear.

There was no reason to fear, supposedly. You were having fun, you just went to search for a good pick-it-up before the second round? Or three? You couldn’t quite remember.

No, Marcus. Marcus who couldn’t remember.

“I found shards in some of them from the wine bottle they found at the scene. It is easy to assume that the victim was taken by surprise during the attack and dropped the bottle, causing the cuts before being thrown on the bed and receiving the remaining wounds through the torso.”

Until it came, like a flash of lightning. Like an itch at the back of your head that didn't make sense before, but now did.

Like a blade meeting your flesh.

You just had time to wonder if this was real before losing control of your legs. The strength was drained from your body, the only thing that felt real was that comforting cold fading in the palm of your hand.

Soon, you heard glass crashing against the wooden floor.

The next sound filling your ears was your throat forcing your voice out, vibrating in desperation. In fear. Everything was dark, nothing felt real.

It was a nightmare, right? It could only be that.

You didn’t have the strength to fight it back, not anymore, your body wasn’t capable of recovering from the shock. Fear coated your mind as your senses like wine staining a rug.

Looking at the photo that Officer MacDonald had her attention on, you had a new opinion about what was stained on the carpet.

Fortunately, the officer hadn’t until now paid attention to your shiverings, and neither did the doctor. When you shut your eyes close and force your body to stay still, Dr. O’Neil continued to report his findings.

“Like the last few times, he'd had sex minutes before death and his eyes had been taken out shortly after his death. Strangely flawless, I must say.”

That brought your brows to rise.

“Strangely flawless,” you repeated his words out loud, “Why?”

“Oh,” for the first time since you arrived, the doctor smiled, smugly, “I thought you had it figured out”

You forced a polite smile, the corners of your eyes aching from the force with which they crinkled.

“From what I know, your job is to help me by giving me a point of view that only a professional like you would have,” as you spoke, Officer MacDonald looked between the two of you, silent. But if you tried enough, you’d hear her holding a snicker, “So, I suggest you spit it out”

“Fine, fine” he rolled his eyes, raising his hands in surrender, “The killer takes the eyes off the victims flawlessly, time and time again. Since the first victim that you and chief Brown asked me to do the autopsy, I didn’t find any bruise left around his sockets”

He… Wasn’t wrong. It was one of the first things that you noticed as well.

“Usually, it would leave at least some scrapes, like in here or here,” using the scalpel, the doctor indicated some of the regions close to the victim’s sockets, “But there aren’t, not even one. That’s what is strange, detective. For a fourth, your killer is doing a pretty good job at not making any mistakes”

Fourth.

You widened your eyes, that single word echoing in your head. How did you not realize it before?

Without saying anything, you started gathering the files, photos, and notes — the gears in your mind running at full speed to care what you were accidentally crumpling. Finally, you have found the fuel for your brain to work around.

“Detective?” the officer called you, trying to understand what had come over you, “Where are we going?”

“My office,” you muttered under your breath, exasperated, “Thank you, doctor, I hope not to come back here soon”

With the help of Officer MacDonald, you left the doctor's office with your files and everything you had about the case. Unfortunately, before you had your back turned to his division, you didn’t miss the O’Neil response.

“Likewise” Fucking asshole.

The heads of some police officers immediately turned in your direction when they heard your impatient footsteps resound through the halls. You weren't running by the skin of your teeth, barely holding yourself back from doing such a thing, it would only give everyone more reason to frown at you. It wasn't like it was going to make a difference anyway, but you didn’t give it a thought at the time.

For anyone, it was just another day at work: you cruising down the halls, with a bunch of files and evidence in your arms and ignoring half of them.

Well, apart from the officer following your step faithfully.

“What the fuck happened?” Officer MacDonald hurried to your side, “What did you find out, detective?”

“It isn’t his fourth killing,” you said quietly, “He has to have done it before”

“Wait…” The woman around, more confused than before, ”You’re saying isn’t his first time killing? Wouldn’t we know if someone had been killing prostitutes and taking their eyes off?”

“He doesn't necessarily have to have murdered here in the city before, he may have killed before in another city, even state,” you scratched the back of your neck but the touch of the fabric of your gloves didn't do much to ease your train of thought, “We need to call the police stations in nearby cities and ask about the unsub.”

Officer MacDonald snapped her fingers, “If we look hard enough, we'll find the trail of bodies that follows him.”

“Exactly,” you replied, “I need to leave everything at my office and start to write new notes and send a report to the Chief about the progress of the case”

Glancing at the woman, you added, “I may comment about your help, officer. I know I didn’t say much, but… Thank you for helping me”

“No worries, detective. I should be the one to thank you,” she softly smiled, dipping her head to the side, “I'll take the opportunity and advance the calls, have another officer dig through our old cases. Including those that were never investigated”

“That would be good,” you agreed, “Don't forget to warn the others to patrol tonight, the assassin may strike again and good luck”

“I will,” the officer cocked her head, “And you too, good luck,” she said back, placing more papers about the case in the pile you were already carrying and heading over to her desk.

Leaving you... Thoughtful, for a few seconds only. But effective enough to make you wonder in the middle of the night.

Since when have you been able to cross the line and speak more than one word to someone without getting lost in them?

Where had that courage come from to rebut Dr. O'Neil so directly? Did he even notice? He didn't seem to have seen as much as you did.

And with Officer MacDonald? How the hell did you manage to keep up a conversation with her without ending up rambling until her ears start to bleed and she was looking at you like anyone else? Like if you were only bothering her with your lecturing.

That was what everybody thought, didn’t they? How you were incapable to stop of lecturing when given the opportunity.

Still, that's not how it felt less than a minute ago.

You've never had so much conversation with one person before. Not at work. Not more than a sentence. You got goosebumps just thinking about the knots that popped up in your head every time you tried to overcome that obstacle.

So where had this willingness to fight this fear come from?

When did you start fighting it back?

“Detective,” someone called for you, turning to the voice, you saw one of the receptionists, “There is a man at the front desk that wants to talk with you”

“A man?” you asked back, forehead creasing, “How was he like? I don't remember having agreed with anyone to come to the precinct now”

You continued your way to your office, with the receptionist by your tail. Whoever was waiting for you, was probably confused. It wouldn’t be the first time that a civil mistaken you for another detective or officer.

“Blonde,” however, at the receptionist's first word, you frozen, “He wears a brown blazer, I think. Oh, and he's wearing sunglasses, which is weird because it’s starting to get cold outside”

How did he…?

You wheeled around, fighting back an incredulous scream, “Huh, I think I know him, Unfortunately, I don't know if I'll be able to talk to him now, I have to leave this at the office and write some reports for the boss.”

“But you didn’t take your break, right? What is it, nearly six o'clock? If I'm not mistaken you are allowed to leave early since you didn't go to lunch, you must be starving”

It was six o’clock already?

You sighed out loud, sensing that you wouldn’t find another excuse. Besides, you were really hungry.

“Fine,” you nodded, “I’ll leave my files in my office and you tell the Chief? I will be at the front desk in no time”

The receptionist hummed in agreement, turning their heels and heading back to their job.

But before they were completely gone from your view, you dared to ask, “Did you tell him my name? In any way?”

Stopping in the midway,  the receptionist tilted their head.

“Hm, I don’t think so? He said he wanted to talk with the detective with black gloves and a strange mood and I knew it was you, why?” of course, she knew it was you, huh? You shook your head, fighting back the will to roll your eyes, “Should I tell him?”

You wildly waved your arms, biting back a squeal.

“No, don’t tell him”, you spun around and continued your way to your office, ignoring how puzzled you had left the receptionist, “It isn’t like I know his”

If that was supposed to help to bring some clarification to the receptionist, it didn’t work. They only shook their head and went back to the reception.

Either way, there was so mistake, for sure. It couldn’t be him, there was no fucking way.

Thus, to prove it was indeed a mistake of the receptionist, you quickly arrived at your office and left everything about the case there. You just made sure to not forget a thing or two that you’d need to check up on when back at home before leaving, just in case.

Not that you were wrong. Which you couldn’t be, right? You weren’t.

It had to be a mistake or a misunderstanding. 

Yet, you had to do your best to quietly catch your dropped jaw when you walked into reception.

Aside from a few civilians who waited to have their bulletins filled out or to solve whatever their problem was, one person stood out among them. It was just as you'd imagined the first time you laid eyes on him, anyone would easily spot him in a crowd.

He wasn't exactly the discreet type.

Just as the receptionist had described, the man wore the same clothes as earlier. A brown blazer that fitted his body perfectly, matching the beige shirt he wore underneath and the pale hat he held in his hand. It wasn't like he needed any more of that to protect himself from the sun, not when he continued to wear the same sunglasses so constantly.

But if anything, it wasn’t the clothes that had you immediately recognizing him — you wished.

What instantly set him apart for you was something that appeared way before you met his dark lenses: that growing grin that was placed on his face at the moment his sunglasses met your figure. You’d know that grin of his even blindfolded. It could sound stupid but it was true.

“Detective!” he shouted, clasping his hands together and neared your way, “I wasn’t sure if I’d find you at the first precinct but I needed to try my luck”

“You’re telling me that you found me by luck?” you crossed your arms, “How?”

“You came here from the cafe by foot,” he shrugged, “I could only assume that you worked at the nearest precinct”

"Only that?" you questioned, your eyes bored into him in evident disbelief. Whether he actually got it right where you worked on the first try or if there was something else he was omitting would be an eternal mystery — one that you didn't want an answer to for sure, “That simple?”

The blonde chuckled, shaking his head, “Believe it or not but you active law enforcement officers aren’t all that mysterious as you think you are”

You rolled your eyes at that, tasting the irony in his tone wrapping his words with bitterness, but you knew he was just making fun of you. Until he didn’t make the same joke to the others employers from there, there was nothing to be worried about.

“Funny,” you huffed, looking to any corner of the precinct that wasn’t his face, “Why did you come here, exactly?”

“If I say that I missed you, would you buy it?” he tilted his head, cocking his brows at you.

“No,” you tilted your head back at him, making sure to keep your tone down to any other ears, “It seems to me that information about my case that you should not know had reached your ears and you want a reliable source to confirm it. Which would not surprise me despite our efforts to avoid rumors”

“Ouch,” he placed his hand over his chest as if you insinuated had wounded his heart, “I know you've only known me for less than one day but do you truly think so little of me?”

Did you?

Not even you had the answer to that if you were to be honest with yourself. Despite your common sense pointing out that yes, you thought little of him, the same whispering voice from before appreciated his presence. Which was enough to ignore the logical details.

“That’s not the point,” you dodged his question, shaking your head slightly.

“Okay, okay,” the man sighed deeply and looked up, “In my defense, I came here as soon as I heard about the police around another motel this morning. So, I wanted to check with you if everything was okay and if it had to do with your case because…”

You raised your chin, “Because…?”

If you could look at the expression behind his dark lenses, you’d discern the apparent perplexity. As if he wordlessly asked you if you were really going to force him to say that single word.

Unfortunately, you didn’t say anything. Would he have to say that, wouldn't he? Apparently, yes.

Fucking human-

“Because,” he pulled a smirk back to his face, flinching at the words that were caught in his throat and stirred in his tongue, “I was worried”

Much to his surprise, you were the one to furrow your brows. As if you didn’t know that this was the answer he was going to give you.

“Well, hm,” you hung your head, lashes fluttering nervously, “I’d leave early today since I didn’t have lunch so if you want to make me some company…”

The Nightmare put on his hat back, with this sarcastic luring grin turning the corners of his lips up, “Why not?”

When you had suggested that you’d make up your missed lunch, the Corinthian imagined that you'd stop at the closest restaurant. Since you humans need to keep yourself healthy and well-nourished if you want to live past 50.

Hence, the bafflement on his face, while you were on your last taco, was understandable.

The cold breeze cut your cheeks, reminding you how the weather usually shifted so quickly at this time of year. But, there was a comfort in having such a wild wind following the both of you while walking next to one of the town’s parks and you finish eating.

The bright sun from the morning was no longer hanging in the sky but hiding behind the gray clouds that gathered over you, the sunset was slowly being overshadowed by the veil of the night. However, a few golden and red strokes could still reach your backs, shadows dancing against the street before the dim light of the streetlamps were the one influencing them.

Fixing his sunglasses with his middle finger, the blonde’s attention lingered on you, from the moment you stepped outside the precinct till now.

At first, you didn’t notice it, too distracted in commenting about how was your case that day without giving any names that you shouldn’t. It wasn't until after you bought your tacos you realized that he had his dark lenses faced at you for a long time.

It could have been because of how poorly you ate or for being entertaining for your lines of reasoning and, sincerely, you hoped it was the latter. Even if it made you shake your head to yourself, bashfully.

Lucky him, your ability didn’t involve reading minds it seemed. Because, if it were, you’d know that you were far from the truth about what crossed the Nightmare’s mind. Not to mention that it would instantly make you listen to your common sense again.

As the Corinthian watched you explaining your new discovery, among his many thoughts, two he persisted in repeating to himself. More like a reminder than anything else.

After decades of going unnoticed with his murders, did it just take a detective with some ability he so far didn't understand to be one step ahead of the few investigators who once tried? Even if had tried not to, he ended up underestimating you more than he intended.

He wouldn’t commit the same mistake again.

Now, for the second thought: just other killers — people who the Nightmare inspired — had a vague idea about his work. And now, there you were. A step away from knowing the long trail of bodies that he had behind him, twice your age or more.

What should he do about that? End the game or let the show go on?

“That’s good,” he replied to you, stopping beside a tree and lying his back in it, “Didn't I tell you? You just needed to be more patient”

You puffed, finishing your taco and throwing the napkin in it at the closest trash can, “You didn’t say that”

“I said many things when we were having that coffee” the blonde pointed out, “I’m sure that among everything you said about your case, I said it”

You tittered, rubbing your temples to get rid of a new headache named ‘the man in sunglasses’. But as you took a moment to process the blonde’s words, you frowned.

“Am I only talking about my job, right?” you folded your arms, “I’m sorry-”

“There’s no need to be sorry,” the man was quick to interrupt you, dismissing you with a wave of his hand, “If I remember right, I was the one to suggest for you vent about your work with me because I felt that you needed someone who… You know, someone that would listen to you”

You smiled at that, even if you tried to fight against it. The way he said it made it sound so simple, and natural like it was no big deal. Perhaps, it wasn’t, but it was the other way around for you.

You rarely felt comfortable enough to share how you worked on your cases. How discovering the suspect's profile was always the crucial step, even though his method was still new in the field. Most of the time, when you dared to comment something about the way you worked, people seemed more to mock you as Dr. O'Neil did than being really intrigued about it.

As the man next to him was. Or, perhaps, just like Officer MacDonald was too. Did she always seem so interested or did this curiosity of hers only surface now? You weren't sure. If you started being more open with Bruce about the cases you worked on, would he also be as interested as they are?

The thing was that… You had never stopped to think about it, not in an optimistic way. So, why now? Since when did all of this start to crawl through your mind?

“Right,” you nodded to yourself, “But it doesn’t make it any better, I asked nothing about you or your day”

“Well, so ask away.” 

The man in sunglasses neared your way, opening his arms as he patiently waited for your question.

“Hm,” you wiggled your eyebrows while you thought, “Do you have any favorite hobby?”

The blonde genuinely laughed, he had to fix his glasses again before you could peer at what hide behind them. Did you really question him about his hobbies and not his name?

He cocked his head to the side, looking at you in amusement. You, humans, were really surprising beings.

“What do you mean by hobbies?” he asked, quipping a brow. As though he was confused and not wondering if killing could be a hobby.

“Something you like to do when you’ve nothing to do?” you tried to answer, drawing your brows together while you were saying, “Painting, walking, sunbathing-”

“Wood carving,” he cut you, his mouth set in a thin line.

“Wood carving?” you snorted, “Serious?”

“Yes,” he nodded, mimicking your expression with an offended tone, “I’m quite good, actually”

“Okay, Michaelangelo, I got it,” you rolled your eyes, earning a playful glare from the blonde, “It just wasn’t what I expected”

“And what did you expect?” he questioned you back, tilting his head slightly, “Chatting with charming strangers”

You puffed at that, fighting hard to not give him any reaction, “No, I don’t know, maybe writing? Weren’t you a journalist?”

“It doesn’t mean I have to like to write,” he replied with disdain, “You said you were a journalist before, right? Last night? Do you like writing?”

“Hm,” you didn’t expect the tables to turn like that, you rubbed the back of your neck, “Yes? Kind of, I used to write more before but it got hard”

“Why?” the man picked up at your nervousness, folding his arms in front of you. Just a few inches away from your figure.

“Well, I learned one thing only when I used to do it as a job” you shrugged again, trying to avoid his face. But, it didn’t matter where you’d look, you didn’t stop to feel his vision keeping track of your eyes, “People don’t want the truth, they want escapism and that’s a hard thing to give when escapism is nothing more than an illusion”

Because you were trying to escape his gaze, you didn't get a chance to see how your words affected the man in the sunglasses. He hummed silently, the corners of his lips contorted in a frown similar to yours — catching the essence of your idea and genuinely identifying with it. Without even needing to be heading at one more of your vision, memory, or whatever it was.

“That’s why you quit being a journalist” it wasn’t exactly a question, but the man did it anyway.

“I guess,” you agreed in a whisper, brows now knitted, “I stayed at law school, specialized in psychoanalysis, and started looking for other ways to give people the truth”

So that was what made you different from the past investigators, detectives, and officers that the Corinthian met over the years. You didn’t want to hide the truth, you thought people deserved to know the real face of their town. For you, everyone was worthy of justice.

With a sigh — and a lot of effort that you didn’t need to know about —, the blonde placed his hand over your shoulder and gave you a warm smile. Again, you felt the same feeling of last night, a connection, as if deep down you were both from the same matter.

But weren’t you all? And, somehow, it felt different from the saying.

Then, it clicked. You had your answer.

‘Since when have you been able to cross the line and speak more than one word to someone without getting lost in them?’

It was since him.

‘Since when did all of this start to crawl through your mind?’

Since last night.

It had everything to go wrong from that point on. But, you ignored your conscious and went back to hearing that whisper coming from inside you, in your intrinsic.

A voice assuring you that, in some strange way, the mysterious man in sunglasses would always end up being your answer.

“Do you want to get head to the bar of that friend of yours?” the man asked, jerking his thumb toward the way you’d have to go if you agreed, “It’s on me tonight, what do you say?”

Tonight. It meant it would come more nights like that one?

You smiled at that thought, muttering a quiet ‘yes’ to the blonde before you.

It was easy to imagine the surprise on Bruce’s face when you had brought a new fella to the stool.

3x06, part 1. Fair disclaimer, if Roy is gonna be mean to Jamie at any point, I'm protecting Jamie at all costs. Other than that, I am sooo excited. And it already hat a rating on 9.5 on IMDB, ahhh.

When is it gonna Jamie's time to shine? Any time now. I'm sad for them.

Rebecca just tried to blowjob the glass. Okay then.

:DD Guys. Come on.

I love having a good laugh at 9:20 in the morning. Lmao.

The plan is to make Roy and Jamie kiss.

"It's just you and me, kid." KISS.

???? Can we never go back to Roy x Keeley then, please? Ngl, I love that Keeley is out of Roy's range so they won't try to make it about them. This season is about Roy and Jamie for me, IDC. And I refuse to think about the future and Roy and Keeley holding hands unless it ends with an OT3 or Roy telling Keeley how much he actually grew to care for Jamie and hopes she's alright with it. Yes, I'm clowning full time. Anything is possible until it's not.

Also, Keeley just FLEW out of that building, and on those freaking heals at that. Queen.

Besties sitting together. <3

Jamie sitting next to Sam. :') Rewatching s1 next to s3 & wow, the way their friendship progressed. I'm proud of Jamie.

LMAOOOO.

They know something we don't. :')

Jamie is already in such a playful mood with him. I love them so much.

JAMIE IS SO HAPPY WITH HIM. Happy, happy geek. <3 Roy had nooo idea what he was getting himself into. It's such a fucking joy to see Jamie being like that. I just think about that and it blows my mind a bit. I couldn't actually dream about seeing Jamie being like THAT on the screen. It sounds like a fanfic, but I'm glad it's not.

Oh, and Jamie's little gremlin laugh is SO cute. I love him. I love Jamie so, sooo much. Phil is doing such an extraordinary job portraying Jamie.

As a side note: if Jamie or someone like him would've been my tour guide in Amsterdam when I visited, I don't think I would've hated it the way I did (despite the fucking weed smell, ew). Sure, I was exhausted and thinking how the hell do I buy tickets for Roger Water's The Wall that evening, but Jamie is just so lively and charming. I would've definitely saw more of the city with him.

Rebecca's "How the hell was I supposed to know that???" BABE. IT WAS RIGHT THERE UNDER YOUR FEET. I mean, I also had some troubles with bikers there, since they'll rather run you over than stop, but omg. I did NOT expect that.

He-fucking-lloooo????? Are you telling me they're actually going with TedBecca endgame in the long run? Tbh, I'm gonna be surprised if they do. I still see them more as friends than anything else. I don't think Rebecca sees Ted more than that and can't even imagine building a romantic future with him.

And there was only one bed.

Kiss your best friend, maybe that'll cheer you up.

This post is exactly 10 minutes of screentime that I watched for maybe 45, so that's gonna be fun. :) <3

What do you think Dan and Phils next big project is? (Solo or joint)

Good question and I wonder how much they even know, but they've been like... suspiciously quiet recently haha. Phil, especially.

Starting with Phil, I do hope a solo project of his gets picked up. Maybe one already has been and it's being worked on right now. I really hope that his recent stepping away from online presence (aided by Dan going on tour) is/was for more than just health reasons.

Phil strikes me as much more of a collaborator than Dan, who we all know is an enormous control freak (affectionate). Even if Phil is a showrunner/ director, I do sort of think he'll still be one of a larger group, even if the idea is widely his. If this theorhetical project is fiction, I'd lean towards something horror or sci-fi, since we know Phil loves those genres. He's, like, extremely briefly mentioned working on something fictional (and for many years, at that), so if he's still enthusiastic about that story, I'd love to hear or see it. Phil is so creative and quirky that I think whatever he'd come up with would be really special.

I also think Phil would really excel as a game show host, which we know is another one of his passions. Perhaps he's working on coming up with/ pitching a game show? I know dnp were trying to get a Truth Bombs game show at some point, so I don't think that's entirely out of the question.

Part of me also thinks Phil is much more enthusiastic about bringing the Dan and Phil (TM) duo back, but that's just enormous speculation. I honestly think some time in the future they'll return to traditional media like presenting, interviewing, and/or radio together, though.

Unpopular opinion, but I'd rather something besides Dan is Not Okay from Dan. I want Dan to act so, so badly, I genuinely think he'd be good at it, but I'd really prefer if he wasn't, like, playing himself? If DINOK ends up happening (and who knows, he could be working on it right now with all of the random places he's been spotted recently) I'll still enthusiastically tune in, but I'd personally rather something that doesn't sound like a mediocre Phil-less phanfic. Also, unfortunately, I'm just not sure it'd gain much traction beyond his already established audience. I think if he were to do a show where he's still actor/writer/director but plays a character who is not just Seinfeld-ifyed him, it'd work better to establish himself beyond his YouTube persona.

Speaking of Dan's yt... dude?? Where are the rest of the Dystopia Daily videos? I guess I was naive, but I genuinely thought he wasn't going to just drop off the face of the earth again after tour. I understand taking a break, but I figured there'd be some retrospective or the last (?) DD episode/ videos by this point. Maybe he's too busy with whatever the random traveling project is, but, like, I just find it odd that a recording of WAD hasn't even been hinted at or announced. I feel like WAD ended extremely unceremoniously and Dan's recent disappearance has made it even weirder for me.

So... with Dan? I do sort of think he's working on something right now. What that is? Who knows. But I think it began almost immediately after WAD finished up, and that's why he hasn't been able to wrap WAD up in a pretty bow or focus on yt at all. If I had to guess, it's crunch-time and it'll be announced/uploaded/whatever sometime in June. Dan loves doing things in June.

Sorry I rambled a ton. But. Yeah. That's kind of where I am thinking about upcoming dnp projects and what they could be working on.

...

Never mind; scratch all of that: they're definitely bringing the gaming channel back.

pen emoji for patch :DD (if u wanna!!)

alright. *takes off weighted hello kitty friendship bracelets and grins* time to stop holding back... >:) -Patch wears (almost) exclusively black and white except for like, minor little decorations such as the bow in her hair.

-She is a funeral director. the silliest of them all. but will also gladly give you oddly specific tips on the 10 most efficient ways to hide a body AAA

-She learned how to make her glowing irises just completely disappear somehow and it consistently freaks everyone out helpp-

-She's constantly watching stuff like those disney princess movies and goes outside and tries to sing to the animals but just ends up scaring them off and getting disappointed because she's TERRIBLE at singing😭😭😭

-Her room is full of toys and dolls that she all made herself (she probably has heartfelt conversations with them and makes them kiss11!!1)

-she puts salt. in her tea. cleo learned this the hard way and had to experience it firsthand and this is why they don't have lunch together anymore. whether or not she does this merely out of spite is currently unknown

-dark mind's takeover ravaged her home and left her pretty much just a homeless feral little kid that survived off of sheer will and dumb luck for years. her allies have kinda shown her how to be normal again (though she's still omega silly) despite still feeling lonely and unwanted inside

-she is very touchy and gives surprisingly strong hugs for such a tiny kid lmao

-a little thing i'm gonna be writing is going to give some more info on her (and her friends!!!) and perhaps give 'em all some character development so do look out for that when i inevitably release it

that's all for this post lmao (but do keep the asks coming if yall want!!11!)

I FINISHED NOCTURNE BITCHES!!!!!

Another milestone in being a Megaten fan reached!

Finished this game with True Demon Ending as I planned to do of course

As usual, after finishing the game - more of my thoughts under the cut:

Wow, this game was just... wow. So far I think, this is my favorite SMT game and one of the favorite Megaten games in general. This was an absolute masterpiece of the game, I enjoyed it VERY much even if the game was extremely hard and some parts and drove me to tears at least during a couple fights haha (for example during Trumpeter fight where I literally was sitting with a freaking CALCULATOR to count the damage (and to know when this horror would end) and 4 sticks representings tours lmaoo)

Story and atmosphere wise, I enjoyed this game way more than V so far. This horror-like atmosphere was literally so good and totally different from atmosphere of V where (at least imo) it reminded me more of a some kind of Dark Fairytale, while this game reminded me more of a dreamcore horror (and a little of drugs symulator, cause the aesthetics for some places and characters that Kaneko had was literally crazy at some parts, it's hard to believe that he came with all of that on a sober mind haha). Like I definitely believe that this game is worth playing even just for the weird aesthetics of it (the gameplay is fire tho :P)

As for gameplay, I still believe I prefered more of a V's battle system and gameplay in general but I can excuse that one as III is an 20-years old PS2 game and some battle features that V has didn't appeared earlier than in 2015 when P5 appeared so I can excuse that (still, not having guard feature during some battles was hell ngl but at least I learned the power of good buffs and debuffs more than in V haha)

As for final boss battle - Kagutshuhi turned out to be laughably easy at lvl 95 (my party was physical build Demi Fiend with Gaea Rage, Freikugel, Focus, Tarukaja, Repel Phys and couple more other skills, Raidou, Uber Pixie and Mada), Lucifer was slightly worse (especially when he REALLY got mad at me and used High King and Root of Evil in the same turn, I survived only because I had Endure skill) but I still managed to beat him in first try so I'm proud of myself haha (so glad I'm actually an item hoarder lol). Thank goodness this fight at least had some background music cause if it was at this level and if it was damn silent like in V, it would be twice as scary haha

As for the True Demon Ending itself, I enjoyed it actually. It was really interesting and I found out so many things about SMT lore while doing it so I'm glad I've done that one first. I know that in SMT there is no such a thing as a bad or good ending anyways and each ending have it's pros and cons but tbh I was really curious about Freedom ending as well. Maybe I'll do it in NG+ actually (or perhaps in original PS2 version cause after playing remaster I'm really curious about original and what was changed and THANKFULLY this one is still available in PS3 store 🙏). The protag - Demi Fiend - really stole my heart (is that a P5 reference :o?) - as usual with me playing SMT games so far, as soon as I see the protag I immediately blorbo them (just look at my icon and header haha) - so I'll definitely be coming back to this game, cause it's amazing

So yeah idk if I have more thoughts haha :P If I'll have I'll definitely make some more posts but for now, yeah, that's my endgame thoughts :P Rn I have to think about the ending, maybe then I'll got some more thoughts :P

Now I'll be trying to finish P2:EP and then on a big screen I'll be playing DDS Duology and when I'll finish my "small screen game", I'll be playing P3P on my switch as for a small screen slot :P

#liveblogging smt nocturne #finished! #gosh i love this game so much #so proud of myself to finish it tbh #lilly's talking
