When @offtorivendell points out that Sarah had an amethyst owl on her desk when she revealed House of Flame and Shadow…
the house that worships Urd, a goddess who twines fate and shifts form, and is home to wraiths among many other mysterious creatures.
Please Sarah, let our divine, witchy little seer help Bryce.

Instagram ask doodle— someone requested Lola as Barbie!
I think of the deleted exchange she had with lebron in SJ2, where she says “Looney is who [Bugs] is and what he does. I’m not like that.” and I mourn the executive meddling. It was supposed to be satirical, critical and maybe even a lil more cynical and all Looney… but too many mandated rewrites left a sour taste in my mouth, especially when it comes to Lola. She doesn’t really have a place in the world of LT outside of being Bugs’ arm candy and “Basketball”…..Sj2 coulda had that conversation. poor gal

Quick question: what do you think about Maple??
(she deserved so much more tbh)
(thanks for the ask, reminder my askbox is always open please ask me questions)
So what do i think of maple ? A lot of things! If we think of maple more the character herself, i think she is really a cutie patootie.
maple is a simple character, she is a cheerful happy and go lucky girl, she is in love with midori, and that's it. Usually in other characters i dislike the character being one note, but with maple it just make sense. Maple is not a very developped ai, she was meant to be a confident and an obstructor. We can make a clear difference betwen an ai like hers and the one from rio or the dummies. I would say her ai is barebones, not because they didn't put time into her, but because they only made her to be an obstructor not a really a person.
Maple is kinda like a child, she never had contact with real people outside of the death game, her only goal to her existence is being the discussion doll and killing midori. I truly believe that if maple let say escaped and tried to live a normal life she would evolve and develop more of herself. I feel like maple is kinda like a bird trapped in a cage who never got the chance to grow.
but the most important part of maple for me is the very not subtle metaphor.....
MAPLE IS SHIN. Like she IS shin, at least him when he was younger. She does not actually love midori, she knows he actually hurts her and that he isn't good for her,but she can't live without him, i mean think about it, midori was the first time she felt "love". Maple is naive and acts childishly, midori doesn't actually care about her and only views her like his object. That one cg where we can see him just dragging her on the ground like she was trash fuels me with rage.
And despite realising that midori was bad she wasn't able to kill him, her mind told her that she had to but her heart was stopping her. She got distrated and because of that she died. She is one of the many victims of midori.
Maple is just like a time capsule of shin younger, a naive kid who just wanted to feel loved but got manipulated by a narcissistic asshole. Which is why the fact that they have zero interactions makes me so mad! Maple is a sweet girl and i think she deserved to open her wings and fly alone for at least a single moment. But sadly this death game is cruel to the kind and vulnerable and because of her nature has an ai, they would have never given freedom.
Maple deserved better
