"Sometimes it distracts with a feint, others it pretends to slip up and reveal a flaw... When things get serious, sleight of hand dazzles more than the magic itself. Can you guess what it is?"
— A riddle Lynette set for her younger brother Freminet while blowing on the surface of her tea.
◆ Lyney
◆ Spectacle of Phantasmagoria
◆ Celebrated Magician of the Court of Fontaine
◆ Pyro
◆ Felis Fuscus
With the possible exception of the trials held at the Opera Epiclese, Lyney and Lynette's magic show is without a doubt the best live performance in the Court of Fontaine.
Judgment uses truth to deliver justice. Magic uses facade to reach people's hearts.
Even if the whole audience knows that everything that takes place on stage is simply trickery and deception, they'll still be dazzled when they're brought face to face with a miracle. Long before the magician's elegant curtain call, the thunder of the cheering and applause will be deafening.
On stage, Lyney is a Great Magician in the eyes of all. Off stage, he's a reliable older brother, courteous visitor, and devoted friend.
His every move is a pleasant surprise, every word a reason to smile. His whole being is like an indecipherable enigma that you just can't help trying to solve.
If you suddenly find yourself so close to him that you're confiding your innermost thoughts, don't be too surprised.
After all, what is a magician if not an expert in stealing hearts?
mob pretending to get stabbed through the chest by serizawa’s umbrella was so stone cold. can we talk about that. that was such a clever, ruthless move on mob’s part. that kinda took me by surprise when I first saw it because I didn’t think it was something mob would do but damn did he do it well. he had that sad little lip tremble and eye wobble and everything. baby voice going “ow….” stopped terrorist serizawa IMMEDIATELY in his tracks. mob knew serizawa didn’t want to hurt people right away and used it to distract him in perfect form.
Anyway sjdhdjdh i kinda rlly don’t like how this turned out but um. Babbit selfinsert comic real
(I imagine this would b pretty early in Sun/Moon and Rabbit’s friendship/general relationship, where Babbit is still figuring out how much rambling/being a weirdo Sun/Moon can tolerate lol sjdhdndhd)
(Babbit is gender neutral and uses they/them pronouns!)
not pictured:
Sun: Are you okay? You look a little red suddenly-
Babbit, incapable of being normal when flustered: NO I DON’T ITS NOTHING OKAY SHUT UP
if i had a nickel for every time alex turner told all of glastonbury he shares a bed with miles kane, i’d have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's still weird that it’s happened twice…
ok among my favorite parts of qsmp is the fact that charlie slimecicle can only hold the act of being mad at mariana when mariana isn't in the room. like he successfully rp'd being mad at his deadbeat puta esposa for months while mariana wasn't logging on, like he complained about mariana at the wedding, during the election, in subsequent appearances, and then he's messaging mariana in the chat during purgatory and he's still holding it
and then they're both at spawn like as close to face to face as they get. and bro CANNOT hold the act it drops so fast lmfao he was like "yea cellbit i'm gonna kill mariana" and instead they have a genuinely heartfelt conversation and then rp sexo in the fountain
and i know i'm brainrotting purgatory rn but i'm actually thinking about this bc i saw a clip of mariana and slime talking during the awards show and literally. slime's face goes from 😡🤬 MARIANA'S HERE, SAY SOMETHING PUTA ESPOSA to 😄😁 the second mariana shows up on the screen
like he's still pretending to be mad but dude is grinning like absolute crazy and i love that
