Tumblr media
It was a pretty traditional high school party— overcrowded, loud and sweaty, bad music and worse liquor— but at least the sea of costumes, ranging from scary to silly to sexy, added at least some new layer of interest to the whole thing.
You hadn’t tried very hard with your devil costume— more accurately an attempt at a ‘sexy devil’ costume— but you put on horns and heels with a tight red dress and nobody can really complain.  You weren’t really here to get into the ‘spooky spirit’ or whatever anyways, just an excuse to drink and maybe chat with some people you’d been missing.
The person you ended up chatting to right in that moment, though, was exactly the last person you wanted to talk to.
You didn’t even know there was someone behind you until you felt him press up to your back, suddenly hovering right by you.  “Want a drink?” he asked, shoving a cup towards you, but you were too busy nearly jumping out of your skin to care— you almost knocked the drink over, actually some of it did splash onto another partygoer, but she was too drunk to notice.
“Fuck!” you yelped, turning to see the gangly boy behind you.  “Christ, Darren, do you have to always sneak up on a girl like that?”
He just smiled and tried to offer the drink to you again.
“M’already holding one,” you pointed out with a frown, “didn’t ya notice?”
“O-oh yeah,” he mumbled, lowering the cup finally.  “Costume looks good.”
“Thanks,” you shrugged, though you suddenly felt the urge to tug down the bottom of your dress.
“You’re not worried what the boys are gonna think with you dressed like that?” he asked, and you glared at him as you shoved his shoulder.  
“Don’t you think before you open your fuckin’ mouth?” you spat.  “What are you, anyway?”
The black robes didn’t really tell you anything— not until he reached behind his head and pulled a Ghostface mask over his face.
“Oh,” you snorted, “not the most original, is it?”
“Don’t like t’movie?” he wondered as he pulled the mask back again.
“I mean, it’s pretty good,” you relented, “but—”
“You wanna fuck ‘im, don’t you?” he insisted suddenly with a lascivious grin. 
“What?” you squinted.
“Ghostface,” he clarified, “you’re one of the girls who thinks he’s fit, yeah?”
“Why are you always such a creep?” you asked him with a grimace, but then you decided to change the topic quickly.  “Kinda thought you’d be a pig or something,” you admitted, “with the nickname and all.”
“Nah, that’s stupid,” he rolled his eyes, crossing his arms— which made you notice the prop knife in his hand.  It actually looked pretty good, shinier than most plastic costume knives.
Just then, Jimmy O’Doyle sauntered up beside you, slipping his arm around your shoulders.  “Ay, little devil,” he greeted, flicking the red horns on your head as you smiled sheepishly.
He hardly acknowledged Darren, spare for a quick nod, but Darren was staring at Jimmy for a little too long before he looked at you again.
“Thought you said you didn’t want a boyfriend,” Darren said sharply, glowering a bit.
Jimmy scoffed and you shifted uncomfortably; Darren tended to be… what’s the word… desperate?  Clingy?  Overall bizarre?  He certainly couldn’t take much of a hint.
“He’s not my boyfriend,” you said first, though that didn’t really matter— you didn’t need any reason to reject Darren, outside of your natural self-preservation instinct.  He actually wasn’t bad-looking, but it was hard to tell past those leering eyes and the uncomfortable smile.  He wasn’t smiling now though… he looked quietly enraged, sipping pointedly on his drink as he glanced away for a moment.  
“I’ll see you later, yeah?” Jimmy smirked at you, hardly waiting for your nod before disappearing back into the crowd.
Suddenly, as you felt Darren’s livid gaze from awkwardly close, you decided that you needed a little fresh air.  And by that, you really meant a cigarette.
Not wanting to tell Darren that you were going outside for a smoke, you instead mumbled some excuse about going to the loo— somewhere he was just sane enough not to follow you to— and bumped through the crowd until you found a door out into the neighbourhood.
There was a slight drizzle still going outside— more of a misting, really— that made everything all foggy and grey, spare for the yellow-y glow of the streetlamps dotting the way.  It wasn’t a full moon, as cool as that would be, but near to one… regardless, it wasn’t visible behind low, dark clouds, leaving the night starless and dreary.  There wasn’t much to look at in the alley as you lit your cigarette and took slow drags from it, so as you stared blankly forward at brick walls with chipping whitewash, your mind wandered a bit.  Nothing of great merit: upcoming assignments, the possibility of an afterparty, the lingering hope you could find a steamy hook-up for the night… you didn’t just put this outfit on for the pictures.
Before you could get too far into your imagination, you were startled by a distant sound, jumping slight as your head turned towards it— but it was just the dark alley, not much to see.  You squinted, trying to make out movement in the shadows, but for quite a while you couldn’t see anything.
Only when you turned your head back forward with a shrug was there any sign of what you’d heard, just a shift in the corner of your eye.  You looked at it again, and you hated to admit it, but your heart froze up for a second when that white face emerged from the darkness.
Of course, you gave your best unaffected scoff when you actually processed what you were looking at.
“Quit it, Darren,” you warned, willing your voice to sound stable as you shouted down the road towards him, “you’re not gonna scare me.”
You watched him move closer, stepping into the light so you could see him better, and tried to ignore the way the hairs on your neck stood up.  If he knew he was getting to you, he’d just keep doing it; you rolled your eyes and took a drag through your cigarette to try to seem nonchalant… but you had to stop your hand from shaking just a bit.  Only because it was chilly out, surely…
You thought it was a joke— a stupid joke, but still just a joke— until he dragged his knife along the brick wall as he stalked toward you.  The sharp, high-pitched screech of metal against stone was unmistakable… and that was how you realised it was a real knife.  A very sharp, very real knife; he’s going to actually kill me, you thought, just before you let out a primal and instinctive scream.
Turning on your heel, you ran as fast as you could.  Each rapid pulse of your heart pumped adrenaline through your veins, and you felt so shaky that you worried the light night breeze would knock you over.  
These were far from running shoes, though— they were pretty excruciating to just stand in, actually— and it was only a few blocks of a chase before you tripped.  Yelping in pain, you tried to scramble up or even crawl forward… but just as you rolled over and winced from landing on your hip, you saw him stalking forward into the flickering light of a streetlamp.
He was probably just going to take the mask off and laugh at you, right?  Reveal the whole thing was a silly prank and the knife was fake and that he just wanted to prove you were scared of him.  Yes, that would be the most sane thing for him to do at that moment, even after being so not-sane by chasing you with a knife.  Instead, as you tried to crawl back, he just tilted his masked head curiously at you, and with his free hand reached down and palmed at his groin.  He was hard— you could see the outline of it through his costume, his hips rocking forward slightly into his palm as you heard a muffled hiss from his mouth.
He knelt down and grabbed your kicking legs, roughly yanking you closer and hovering above you menacingly.  “C’mon and scream for me,” he ordered with a delighted purr, pulling his mask back, laughing when what came out of you was more of a wail or sob instead.  “Louder, y’little whore—”
“Get off me!” you shrieked, trying to fight him away, whining as he laid down over you instead and licked your neck.  You turned your head with a grimace, shuddering as his weight pinned you against the slightly-damp pavement.
“G’na show Pig how tight the little hole gets when you’re scared— aren’t ya, fuckin’ slut?”
“Be serious, Darren— s’not funny, get away from me!”
You struggled less when he flashed the knife; as little as you could, in fact you actually nearly froze as he teased you with it, running the tip down the front of your dress with just enough pressure to pop a few sequins off, making you whimper in terror.  He laughed, though— a small, dark, chuckle.  “Quiet now,” he noticed.  “Don’t make a fuss, sweetheart.”
You had to bite your lip to hide a shout, though, when a gloved hand up slipped under your short dress, grabbing greedily at your lacy panties.  He licked his teeth, bared by his grin, as he stared at you with those haunting eyes of his.  “Wet, aren’tcha, girl?” he taunted— not that he’d be able to feel it through his black gloves, but past your own groaning you could almost hear it (though you tried not to).
“You’re such a creep!” you spat, though you tried to regulate your tone as you glanced at his knife again, held against you by one of his hands on your arm; maybe part of you still thought he would stop and admit it was a joke, but the darkness in his stare made you doubt that more and more.  The gravity of the situation still hadn’t really set in yet— sure, you were coursing with fear and had goosebumps all over, but it didn’t totally feel real.
“Won’t take too long,” he promised with a sigh as he hastily tugged his costume out of the way, still pinning you down with one hand (if not as effectively).  When he roughly yanked his cock out, proudly brandishing it between your legs as your eyes went wide… that’s when it felt real.
“Don’t,” you gasped instantly, looking up at him with pleading eyes.  “Don’t, Darren, please— you can’t—”
“Shh,” he hissed quickly, “s’good— gonna feel good, alright?”
He gasped loudly as he pushed inside you, eyes shutting tight before he dropped his head down onto your chest.  “Fuck, girl— what’s a whore cunt so tight for?”
Not wasting any time, he pulled his hips back and roughly thrusted forward into you again, making you choke on your cry.
“S’for me, isn’t it?” he decided with a sick sort of grin.  “Want Pig to feel good?  Like t’squeeze the thick cock, don’t ya?”
“I— I fuckin’ hate you,” you whimpered, shutting your eyes tight, in disgusted disbelief that this was happening— that it was him inside you, holding you down.  But you couldn’t forget it, not with him moaning and purring above you, mumbling stuttered praises… and the feeling of it, it was impossible to ignore, as much as you hoped to somehow.  It was a deep stretch, each thrust making your chest tighten out of more than just fear.
“Mmf, fuck,” he grunted, holding onto you tighter— another reminder he still had that fucking knife.  “Pretty— it’s a pretty thing… it’s warm inside…”
Grimacing, you hated the way your body responded to his lewd comments about it; your walls clenched on him slightly, you could tell by the way you felt even more sore inside than before.
He pressed the knife up against your neck, growling in amusement at your wince of fear.  “Think Pig’s gonna slice you?”
“I… I don’t know,” you stammered out your answer, eventually.
“Waste of a pretty face, no?” he smirked, moving the knife up and caressing the side of your face with it— not that it could really be called a caress, all rigid and cold like that… “Say please.”
“Huh?”
“Say please,” he repeated, “beg me not to hurt you.”
“Already are,” you sneered at him, but he pressed the knife to your neck with a little more intention— a little more pressure, a wild look in his eyes suddenly— as he insisted again.
“Wanna hear you beg,” he spat.  “Do it or Piggy might hurt you worse.”
“Please, please,” you whispered shakily, shutting your eyes.  “Please don’t, Darren…”
You gasped sharply as he pressed the knife down just enough to draw a thin line of blood, only to pull the blade away and lick hungrily at the wound.  Feeling dizzy and sick, you winced at the sting of his tongue lapping at your pierced skin, lips wrapping around and suckling as teeth dug painfully into your pulse.
He thrusted faster, recklessly so, and bit down on his lip as he breathed heavier.  You were too focused on how painfully deep he was going to really process anything when he started to slow down— that is, you felt that he was slowing down, and didn’t think for a minute about why he was slowing down.  
His loud, low groan gave it away; you snapped back to reality and looked up at him in a new kind of fear.  “Fuck, Darren, did you just—?!” you whimpered, squirming harder as you realised what he’d done.
“Shh, shh,” he soothed you sharply, hissing as he grabbed a tight hold of your hip.  “Stay fuckin’ still, girl— fuck, I’m still coming—”
You yelped and tried harder to fight him off, but he kept you pinned down easily, even forcing you into a rough and sloppy kiss.
He sighed into it after a second, relaxing on top of you until it was a little hard to breathe under his weight.  You whined and tried to break away, but the hand with the knife still in it held your jaw, the cold metal pressing threateningly against your face.
Whimpering and blinking up at him, you met his icy gaze and he smiled proudly down at you.  “Little devil, eh?” he smirked as he toyed with your horned headband, which had become quite dishevelled from all the running and struggling.  “Your blood matches the outfit— poor whore, red all over…”
“Darren,” you choked, fighting a sob of disbelief as you felt him pull out of you with a hiss— a steady, sticky leak giving away how much he’d come.  “What the fuck did you do?”
“Don’t be fussin’, girl, like I said,” he rolled his eyes, though he was still grinning wide.  “Ready to go back to the party now?  Or do you just want Pig to take y’home, sweetheart?”

Last Twilight Ep 1 Stray Thoughts
Starting this one skeptical. It's an original story from Aof about a topic he could absolutely fumble. With GMMTV's shows being such a disappointment for me lately, I hope he doesn't also take a hit.
I'm excited to see Baby Ohm again.
I'm glad Sea is actually a good badminton player so they could get good footage.
At the point that we're breaking bottles to stab people things have really escalated too far.
I'm not sure how to read intercutting the fight with Day's vision loss. Perhaps they're connecting the two experiencing a major loss around the same time.
I like the scene where Mok fixes the manager's chair even as he's making his displeasure at being overlooked very apparent. Clearly things have changed for him in the last year, and he's trying to hold on to his temper.
Oh, I was wondering how the sister died. This is tragic.
Mark!!
I like that Day was immediately interested in someone who seemed less formal.
Okay, I could read Jimmy's face there in that confrontation with Day. He's gotten better. I could feel his injured pride and disappointment coming through at once.
I'm fascinated by Porjai having a new boyfriend and yet maintaining this friendship with Mhok. They don't feel like exes still yearning for each other.
Aof and friends are still really good at contextualizing love and loss. This scene about the car shows how much people cared about Rung and how much Rung and Mhok cared about each other. They had already lost their parents, and now Mhok is alone.
An eye donation? Hold on let me look up something.
Curious what happened between Day and his brother. Was the brother involved in the car crash? What's this thing about being the hero of the family?
I'm just gonna assume they hadn't driven very far for Mhok to be able to help here.
Le Petit Prince!!
Jimmy's mustache continuity is driving me insane.
Okay, I like the decision and job acceptance scene.
Well, I am going to come back for the next episode! With all of the disappointment I've taken lately from BL, I'm only giving shows an hour to assess them and then setting them aside until convinced to come back if they don't do anything for me in the first hour. I'm intrigued by the potential dynamics here.

Tango hadn't had this much physical contact with another mer since he'd gotten separated from his pod.
He was pinned against the cold wall of the pool, Jimmy pressed against him and holding him pinned. Everything was just too much, at the moment. He squeezed his eyes shut, just focused on the water pumping over his gills as his heartrate started to finally slow down.
Okay, back up a bit, how did Tango manage to get himself in this situation?
In all truth, he wasn't entirely sure. He'd been swimming around the pool, trying to get used to the way his ripped fins changed his maneuverability, going as fast as he dared in the enclosed space-- probably faster than was advisable.
It was an anxious tick of his, pacing back and forth when he was attempting to work something out. It helped when the problem was something he could inspect with his hands and where another perspective was incredibly helpful. Not so much when the danger was unseen, unheard, and completely out of his control. At least he could pace, here, rather than being stuck in an empty tidepool not much bigger than two body lengths across.
He'd been talking out loud to himself-- just gibberish, really, thinking out loud as he worked the stiffness out of his muscles. Anything to distract from the eerie quiet. The water being this quiet never meant anything good. He was going to go insane if he had to sit here in silence, just waiting to be ambushed. And him being loud wasn't helping. the sorts of predators that made the sea go quiet were the ones you needed to be quiet to avoid.
He felt like he was going mad anyway. There weren't any predators here, not the type that sound would do anything more to attract. But he simply couldn't bring himself to shut up. It was easier to just keep chattering away to himself, because then maybe he would actually have somewhere to point the pent-up jittery sort of borderline panic that was making his scales itch. Maybe then there would be a physical threat to sink his fangs into, instead of this growing dread and certainty that his pod was dead again.
He'd lost his first pod to a silence like this.
Tango hated silence.
It only took a half a second of distraction for Tango to lose focus on his careful balance of speed and water pressure and the way his fins dragged to slow him down for the turn and-- there was movement, something was above the water.
Thwack--
Well, that hurt. Tango shook his head, at least he'd had the awareness to twist, hitting the wall with his back instead of with his head or shoulder or anything that would've snapped with the wrong amount of pressure.
Then there were bodies in the water, humans surrounding him where he lay on the shallow bottom, a mer circling around behind him for the kill--
It was a split-second decision, and a lucky glance of blond hair versus blue that let him tackle the human into the water and take him hostage.
The other two had gills, but this one didn't.
Once he had his back to the wall and the held in front of him like a shield, the other two kept their distance.
It was Jimmy, the mer he'd yelled at before, and the blue-haired half-thing that'd helped steal Tango and maybe-kill Impulse.
The human he was holding hostage was the one who'd maybe-killed Impulse. In that moment, he was incredibly tempted to bleed the human out right here and now. He was a threat.
"Woah-- woah!! just calm down. we can talk about this, right?" Jimmy had his hands out in a placating gesture, "Just-- let Martyn go, alright? He's done nothing to hurt you, mate--"
"Oh? Why don't you ask him about what happened to my human?" Tango snapped, tightening his grip.
"Don't--! You're gonna hurt him--" Jimmy pinned his fins back in a show of submission, backing off.
But the other one was trying to edge around to the side of him. Tango bared his fangs in response, twisting to face him too, "You stay right there-- don't come any closer--"
The half-thing put up his hands, "Let him go, we're not goin-ta hurt you."
"Tell that to the human you killed--" Tango snarled, flaring his fins in threat, "You killed my human, it's only fair that I get to kill yours."
"Killed--" Jimmy twisted to look at the half-thing, "Scott, did you guys kill somebody?"
"No. No, we didn't kill him. We put him to sleep, that's all." The half-thing-- Scott-- shook his head, "Let Martyn go before you hurt him."
They-- hadn't killed Impulse? Oh. That changed a couple things. Maybe. If Impulse was okay.
A moment before Tango was going to let the human go, something sharp bit him in the arm.
Tango recoiled with a shout, shoving Martyn away.
He got tackled a moment later by Scott, everything starting to go out of focus.
They were all liars. All three of them. Liars and cheats and Tango wasn't going to let them get away with this--
He snapped at Scott, managing to get at least one or two solid bites in before the half-thing could really react. A moment later, Jimmy slammed into the two of them, knocking Tango's head spinning and taking the opportunity to pull them apart.
Tango twisted in his grip, shrieking in anger as he attempted to get his fangs into Jimmy too. He wasn't able to get around to anywhere he could do any damage. A moment later, Jimmy shoved him against the wall.
And that's how Tango found himself in this situation.
He gave a half-hearted flick of his tail, flexing against Jimmy's grip. Tango didn't really want him to let go, but he didn't want to just-- give up.
"Alright. Listen here, you." Jimmy hissed into his ear, "You need to hold your seahorses and actually listen for once, instead of just fighting us all the time. Now. Are you done? or are you going to keep trying to bite me?"
Tango shuddered, letting himself go limp as he tipped his head towards the wall. His mouth felt thick and clumsy and stuffed full of pebbles as he answered, "I'm done. . ."
"Moon and stars above, was that really so hard?" Jimmy asked, not letting Tango go, but loosening the death grip on his arms.
Everything was fuzzy, like the way it'd been when he first woken up here. Whatever it was that'd bitten him was nasty. Nastier than the time Etho had accidentally gotten Tango with his spines.
Jimmy did eventually let go of Tango, after Scott had gone back up to the surface to check on the human. Tango still had to lean against the wall, though. He didn't like his chances of staying upright with the way everything seemed tipped ever so slightly to the left.
He had to admit that he was sad about Jimmy swimming off to also check on his human after a little while longer. Even though Martyn hadn't actually killed impulse, Tango couldn't bring himself to feel guilty about almost drowning the man.
Sue him for being homesick, but Tango couldn't help but want the other mer around.

Another dream, always mine (and yes it's still spn s13 related because i have a bone to pick with dabb over that season specifically)
So here it goes. (Part 1)
Spn s13 but kelly doesn't die, cas doesn't die, crowley doesn't die. Lucifer dies for *reasons* but mary, dean and sam are stuck in the AU.
It's still spn so we just have to have mirrors and parallels, okay? Like, this show doesn't care about continuity but damn! They will stick to mirrors and parallels like it's a religion and so we do too.
The thing is that the AU is not the lame-ass AU Dabb or whoever came up with, it's at least an attempt at being an interesting place. So basically the AU is as boring and dumb as our earth, nothing has really changed, people are still trapped in the rat race that capitalism is (see, we have a little bit of critique here too, there is no escape from the capitalist-fascist-heteronormative narrative or isn't it?), the frigging white picket fences are still everywhere like a fucking nightmare BUT! This is an earth without monsters, angels, demons, nothing goes bump in the night but depression, paranoia and suicidal thoughts (now these are the real monsters) and YET this is THE chance for our heroes, this is the promised land, no past, only freedom, the american dream is theirs to grab (but don't worry this place hides a secret, this is still spn everything must be queer, you'll see). Sam, dean and mary are kinda lost cause, surprise surprise! It turns out that's not the things you want that you can't have but that you didn't know what you wanted so how could you have it in the first place? Mary is restless, this was supposed to be her dream, she died for it and now she doesn't want it and she goes through another deep existential crisis (and, really, we all just get mary because seriously? any character named mary who's also a mother has too much fucking weight on her shoulder, just let the woman be). Sam is kinda okay with it, he once again refuses to get in touch with his emotions and flees from them like the plague: they're gonna make it work, they will find a way (i want to convey ross from friends vibes when he's like *in a squeaky voice* i'm fine! Here, that's sam in the AU). The guy lives in his delusion, this is his chance at being normal (and oh boy is he wrong, you'll see). Dean feels just bad, he's supposed to feel happy with his mother and his brother/son (the weird implications of this situation will be explored) but he keeps thinking about that little house by the sea (or was it a lake?) that cas bought as fucking jimmy novak and how the angel spent months there with kelly playing daddy and how the fucking angel played him and dean just went along and repaired his stupid truck as if to thank him for breaking his heart but also, also, dean will never admit it to anyone ever but deep down he knows, he knows, that that was his place, his angel, his chance (we will also have an explorations into the complex theme of mpreg with the due "Junior" references we all deserve and insights into dean's maternal insticts).
Now back to earth.
Kelly gives birth to a baby jack, cas lives with them to protect them from the angels and demons that will sure come for a visit (but once again he will end up being a total agent of chaos, you'll see), the angel is a bit of a mess, though, and his obsession with saving dean winchester is finally making kelly feel quite concerned with her life choices, maybe trusting this guy was a little bit insane, was he always this deranged? (We'll soon see why she thinks that, she might have a point). Meanwhile crowley goes back to hell and we once again have a cheap game of thrones situation (because why not? i can't come up with infinite original ideas to fix this plot, okay? Also this is still spn, i can condone SOME cheap storylines on the side, and anyway mark sheppard makes anything work so we're good) where his varys-like smart brain cells will put him on the throne again (who's this asmodeus guy anyway, prince of hell or not, fuck him, he will not stick around here for a second season while dagon died like after 2 episodes she was in, not gonna happened in my narrative). But, you see, the demon has his own issues, and goes visiting kelly and the angel because why not? He likes kelly she seems interesting enough for a person who birthed satan's son, escaped from a fucking angel of the lord, was kidnapped by a goddamn prince of hell, managed to baby trap said angel of the lord, stole the frigging impala and escaped that menace that the winchesters are. She then proceeded to give birth knowing she might have died. She is something. Something a bit unhinged maybe but crowley digs her, okay? He still also has varys-like smart brain cells so he needs to visit to make sure that baby lucifer is, like, not plotting to take over hell or whatever newborn babies half-made from cosmic entities do these days. Also, also, watching castiel putting baby jack to sleep with those big strong angel gym-bro arms did something to him, his daddy fetish and his mommy issues raised their head and something else too, and he foolishly promises to keep jack safe from hellish attacks and indulges castiel in his winchester obsession. What? He misses the brothers too, those handsome, tall, cruel white boys (we are reminded that, visually, the whole cas/kelly/jack situation is quite similar to the weird crowley/dean/amara thing of s11, mirrors and parallels need to keep happening people, this is spn, we gott have 'em). Castiel is living his tragic destiny yet again, he's seen the AU, has been there, technically knows that dean, sam and mary are safe but he just has to see it for himself, right? Like he has to make sure, it's not like dean not being there is eating him from the inside, it's not like he starts feeling the pang of guilt over the huge betrayal he's forced onto dean,leaving him left behind again and again and playing him that way, no. He copes by sitting in his stupid truck that dean had repaired listening to that damn tape (every time he does that we have a close-up of kelly watching the pathetic scene from her window and sighing as if in "fuck, FUCK, my life"). And oh, yes he also starts researching about archangel resurrection because i may or may not bring back my girls, aka raphael and uriel but this is for part 2, you'll see.

didnt want to be extra annoying and ask this on your art blog so ill settle for just being annoying.. was anything in wac inspired by the life series? like designs or well, anything! discovered ur stuff on youtube and went ooooh and then snooped through all the art i could find and was repeatedly reminded of the sillies that occupy my brain. sorry 2 be weird! ik its the worst question to be asked sorry but its hurting my brain wondering and not knowing
Aw shit ya caught me. I was gonna reveal this fact much later down the line bc ive been kinda open that WAC started out as an AU just not for what. Primarily the reason for secrecy is bc i don't want people to look at this story i put a lot of myself and my experience into and go "I can't believe you tricked me into reading about minecraft men" bc the story has expanded a lot past these intial inspirations.
So before i go into all the inspirations, I wanna make this perfectly clear. WAC's plot is almost completely original, baring some small scenes inspired by events in the Life series and the basic set up. It's a three act story that is mostly about me and my partners problems regarding abuse and personhood. The Life Series au was a starting point and it kinda spiraled out from that lollll.
(Also I saw your other ask and it doesn't bother me at all! Its been something ive wanted to talk about anyway simply bc i find the inspirations funny. Plus I promised myself if someone realized and asked I would talk about it. Also i just love talking about inspiration and seeing how you got from one thing to the next, maybe others would like the same.)
1. "Why are they cats?" This started as an au once again but i felt too embarrassed talking about it publicly as a mcyt au so I gave them cat designs. That's the only reason lol
Lain - Inspired primarily by 3rd life and lim life martyn in regards to both his devotion to the king (ren) and mariner (scott). Lain and Mariner originally started as Majorwood shipping cats but then became more about their unhealthy power dynamics and two people being stuck together it spiraled into what we have now! Especially since I believe Martyn killed Jimmy (Canary) in 3rd life? Or at least scott accuses him as such so that's where that came from.
Mariner - 3rd/lim life scott! His obsession with the sea, his name, his relationship to Canary, his ties to Lain, and his design is pulled from scott. That's about all that's similar now though. His personality is completely different. Hes a shitty fuckinh dude.
Canary - 3rd life Jimmy Solidarity but like fucking barely and just bc hes married to mariner (flower husbands). Took his name from the fandom calling him a canary because he always dies first and that's basically it. Also worked with the bird name theme i was starting to go with
The King - 3rd life ren but again fucking BARELY except for his relationship with Lain and being a king and trying to conquer shit. That's like. It.
Condor - he's just mr good times with scar. Hes like, the closest to his mcyt counterpart probably and im not even sorry. Took primarily from 3rd life and lim life once again though in regards to his relationship with Crane (Cleo), Warbler (bdubs), and Scout (Etho) (and also the fact the group is called the flock is a cheeky callback to the family being called the clockers)
Crane - stated above, Cleo, but only bc shes mom in the clockers family. Nothing else.
Warbler - limlife bdubs but again fucking BARELY. I think the bdubs skin is the most i drew on for her design with the fucked up eye and teeth.
Grouse - mr 3rd life grian. Dating condor because desert duo and feeling indebted to him for that as well. And just. Generally little guy vibes.
Scout - etho. Just for chill vibes. Dating Crabe because hes "dad" in lim life and dating Wolf (Joel) bc of double life halfslab.
Wolf - Primarily last life joel with the living alone in the woods thing and joel just being a like. Maniac in the life series with the murders and such. Dating scout again bc of double life. The her having canary's skull thing is just for my friend who is a big fucked up smallidarity shipper.
Sycamore, coal, and aster are original characters i made specifically for the story.
I would again like to state that the story is BARELY tied to things that happen in the life series, and its mostly my personal experiences and silly thoughts. The silly minecraft men were just the jumping off point and all of their arcs are original so there ya go <3

J. Drysdale - Island Of Love
Tumblr media
✄————————————
Jamie Drysdale x Fem!Oc
Word Count: 4.3k
Warning(s): Heartbreak. Trevor’s a teensy bit mean.. but not like really mean.. just kinda like.. blunt.
It was supposed to be a reader insert, but then I decided to do this in Jamie’s point of view, so I did this one a little different.
It was not my plan to spend 4 straight hours on this.. it’s 4:00 am right now.. but I had a blast with it anyway..
—————————————
“Oh dude! We’re gonna have so much fun! I’ve got us booked on so many things. Snorkeling, and deep sea fishing… oh! Oh! And they even have these cool bars that look super neat in the evenings.”
Trevor was the best friend I could ever ask for… in that moment… he felt like the most insufferable.
He promised to get me out of the house after the season was over. With the recovery from my surgery going fairly well, and the overwhelming need to do anything, Trevor suggested a trip to Hawaii.
I would blame it on the fact that I’d gone stir crazy.. that’s why I agreed to go on this trip. To fly over the ocean. To go spend two weeks on an island surrounded by ocean.. to go swimming in the ocean. I was too pale on a day to day basis for Trevor to even notice how sick I felt on the flight there. The first step out of the airport was the most surprising. The world was entirely different. It almost made me feel bad for stepping on such beautiful grass with off white shoes that used to be the color of perfection.
“Aloha, visitor!” A beautiful voice caught my ear, with an accent I simply couldn’t place other than calling it Hawaiian. My eyes scanned the crowds before landing on a woman who looked half my size.
She waltzed over with grace, her dark curly hair bounced with each step she took. Mesmerizing.
The woman pulled the pink lei from her neck. This was a tradition I was aware of. One I had read up on before Trevor and I left California. I dipped my head in both a respectful manner, and to help her reach. She slipped the lei over my head, her hands sliding along the length of it as I lifted my head back up to meet her gaze.
I had never seen anybody so beautiful. Dark eyes, even darker hair. She had a beautiful tan, and the white of her cropped top looked much better than my shoes.
“Mālama ‘āina.” Her words made no sense to me, and I smiled nervously in response.
“I don’t understand you…” this made her smile falter. My gaze drifted toward Trevor, who was trying to strike up conversation with the woman who had greeted him.
“Take care of the land.” My eyes snapped back in her direction. Her accent was so beautiful. I swallowed and nodded.
“I am Eleu.” Oh god. Of all people. Why was my heart beating fast for a girl I’d never seen before?
“Jimmy- Jim! Jame.. Jamie.” Mhm. Yeah. Fourth time’s a charm. Her nose scrunched at me.
“Welcome, Jamie.”
Trevor found me not long after he finished speaking to his own greeter. He wrapped an arm around my shoulders and began to drag me off out of the welcoming area they’d been in.
“I booked us this cool little hut looking thing.” I did my best to push the interaction to the back of my mind. She was a random woman, embarrassing myself in front of her should have meant nothing. I embarrassed myself in front of people every day.
“Where’s it at?” I engaged in the once one sided conversation.
“Like.. the other side of the island.”
——————
Trevor and I spent a lot of our first day traveling and settling into the small shoreside hut. It was made for tourism, I could tell, but I was more interested in the wilderness of the island. The things deeper inland. Things that weren’t the ocean. Instead, Trevor had dragged me out to the beach the second the sun rose on day two, insisting I needed a little time outside.
I didn’t know if there was a specific amount of sunscreen one could use before it became harmful to your skin. But I’d rather go out using sunscreen than having the worst sunburn of my entire life.
We were seated in beach chairs on the sand, Trevor laid out with a drink in his hand -which he bought after walking down the beach to find a bar-. I was leaned back in my own chair, hands clasped together over my stomach with a hat on in hopes of shielding my face from the sun.
“Doesn’t get much better than this, does it Jame?” Trevor’s voice broke me from my trance.
I shrugged.
“It’s pretty cool.” I should have been more excited, I knew that, but I couldn’t shake the nagging anxieties in the back of my head.
The ocean was so vast and unknown.. what if it just rose up and swallowed us whole?
“Seriously?” My head turned to look at Trevor when he spoke again. He shifted and sat up, turning his body sideways to face me.
“You gotta go on a walk or something. This might be the best vacation you ever get, and you’re spending it like a baby.”
He meant nothing by the harshness of his words, but they stung anyway.
“Go touch some grass. Or better yet,” Trevor stopped, then pointed a stiff arm at the water. “Go for a swim.”
All of a sudden, the walk idea hadn’t sounded so bad.
“I’ll just- you’re probably right. I just need to loosen up.” I reached for my t-shirt, taking it from where it had been draped over the back of my chair. “I’ll be back later.”
I never minded walks down the beach in Anaheim. I preferred to keep my distance from the water, but the walking aspect was relaxing.
I found through my stroll, that where we stayed must have been a generally private area. There weren’t many people around aside from a few families and kids.
Eventually though, nobody was around at all. I had stopped to stare down the length of the beach. Nothing. Then I heard screams and giggles erupt from the area around me. I turned my back to the ocean, facing up the sand where it slowly turned to grass. A building resided there, with a small pavilion beside it. Kids were running rampant. I felt a strong sense of discomfort. I was not supposed to be there.
“Hey!” Was it creepy to recognize her voice? I looked toward the pavilion to see the same woman from the day before, dressed in a breezy blouse and a pair of shorts. Beautiful.
“Hey!” A bright smile painted my lips as I raised a hand to wave. Some of the kids around her stopped to look, but most were too busy running about.
“You are not supposed to be here.” She made her way to the edge of the grass, I took a cautious step back. My smile fell, as did my hand.
“I’m sorry, ma’am.. I didn’t know.” I could have called her by her name, but honestly.. I didn’t remember it.
“Did you not see the sign?” I slowly looked over my shoulder. Not a sign in sight. So I squinted. She got impatient quickly.
“It says Kapu.” I looked back up at her.
“I don’t understand your language.” I reminded her. She huffed.
“Keep out.”
“Tourists.” My gaze fell to the ground after she turned to walk away. Her behavior was a stark contrast to the kind greeting I received from before. I knew some places had a disliking for tourism, but I couldn’t understand why she would greet people so kindly if she resented them. Or why she would even offer to do it.
At that point, I had come to the conclusion to end my walk. I never spoke a word about the encounter to Trevor when I got back. He looked bewildered that I was still as tense as before. Maybe even more tense.
——————
On Wednesday night, Trevor had clued me in on our next set of plans. I didn’t pick up on it until he mentioned dancing. In the movies they always depicted traditional Hawaiian luau’s as dancing.
When we got there, I realized it was nothing like that. And Eleu was there. Again. Trevor and I had found ourselves enjoying various traditional courses while the entertainment went on.
“I wish we had stuff like this in Anaheim.” I only nodded in agreement as I adjusted the hat on my head. I would have loved to see things like this back in California, but this is a culture that is not exactly ‘California’ esque.
Despite all there was to see, my eyes always drifted to Eleu. The fabric skirt she wore, each flap of green shaped to look like a palm frond, flowed in the gentle breeze. She was kind again. Kind to those around her, and kind to the people she served. I did not understand. I wanted to.. but I didn’t.
I came to find out later, that she wore the skirt to perform with a group of women who looked around her age. Around our age. She was a dancer. An elegant one at that. There was a story to be told in the music, but I could not interpret the movements. I still knew nothing about the culture. But I decided perhaps I could change that.
It turns out. It is incredibly hard to find somebody on an island. I did not know her name, and I did not know anything about her. The idea of simply going to where I found her before crossed my mind, but I tried the respectful route first. I didn’t want to trespass if I didn’t have to. I knew how upset it made her the first time.
When I came up empty, I put on a brave face, and made the trek back down the beach. I fidgeted most of the way there, uncertain of what I’d say or do. How I’d speak to her. When I got there, I was surprised to see Eleu out in the pavilion, surrounded by a large group of kids. I couldn’t hear her voice, but her movements looked animated enough to be telling a story. There were other adults around, but I was still hesitant to get too close. I had no doubt she was protective of those kids.
I must have waited around fifteen minutes, watching like a creep, until Eleu had seemingly dismissed the group of children. They’d gone to find the adults, and were eventually ushered away from the building.
“Now or never.” My hockey mentality just might get me killed on this one.
I stepped off the sand and into the grass. I approached with caution while Eleu had grabbed a broom. Her back was turned. I should have stopped and waited before she was looking to step onto the wooden platform of the pavilion. But mistakes were made too late.
She whipped around so quickly it had me raising my hands in surrender.
“You’re doing it on purpose now.” Eleu’s words were sharp. Her gaze traced my figure before she glared into my eyes.
“I came to talk to you?”
“You trespassed.” Not one of my finest ideas.
“Please?”
Eleu placed a hand on her hip, cocking it to the side. She was in no mood to handle this situation.
“There’s a lot of culture here. I was just curious if maybe.. you seem to know your stuff. I thought, I could ask for a little background?” She didn’t look convinced.
“You? With your hats,” she turned the broom in her hand, holding it near the bristles while she tipped the handle up toward my head. “And your loud friend?”
“No, he’s not in on this.. just me and my hats..” a nervous chuckle fell from my lips. I did not understand the need to insult what I wore on my head.
“The island would not accept you.. she doesn’t take well to your type.”
“Think so?” It was impulsive. Something I would have said to Trevor in the midst of a challenging statement. Eleu’s gaze softened, but her brow furrowed in confusion.
“I know so.” It was like she wasn’t sure how to respond, before backing up previous statements.
“Show me how she would accept me.” It wasn’t a demand.. I’d call it more of a suggestion.
“I don’t like tourists.” She shook her head.
“You called me a visitor.” I had her in checkmate once again.
Eleu stared me down, slowly leaning the broom against the closest wall. She spoke through gritted teeth;
“I am free in the evenings.”
——————
“No dinner plans? You’re telling me I just have to figure it out for myself?” Trevor groaned from the opposite end of the tiny hut. I shrugged.
“You’ll be fine! I just wanted to call my mom for a little while.” I knew the excuse would only work once or twice, but I decided I’d cross the bridge of others when I got there.
“This sucks.” Though he’d been ‘bummed’, Trevor was still busy trying to pick a pair of shoes to go out. “Not even gonna let me say hi to momma Drysdale?”
I shook my head and laughed softly at Trevor’s nickname for my mother.
“You’ll call if you need something though.. yeah?” I nodded.
“Promise me, Jimmy.”
“I promise.”
The moment Trevor was out, I was slipping on a hat and headed back down the beach. Though the walk was tedious, I did enjoy knowing I was getting some exercise in. I hadn’t been the most active during my injured period.
I found Eleu waiting for me sitting in the grass, not ever far from that building. I had a hunch it was a school building.
“Jamie.” I liked the way my name sounded from her lips. I also liked the way she looked under the glow of the sun.
“Hey.” I was just as nervous as the day we met. I wondered if I’d ever get comfortable around her.
“Come sit.” I did as told, finding a seat in the grass next to her.
“I do not like you.” I could only nod. We’ve established that already. “My tūtū insisted I do this.” My brow furrowed at the name. Another word I did not understand.
“Your…” I wanted to attempt the word, but I knew I would not say it well enough.
“Grandma.”
I quiet ‘oh’ fell from my lips in understanding.
“She suggested we start with Hula. It tells a story. We dance to worship the creator of our universe.” Eleu slowly turned to face me, and I found myself doing the same out of respect for the woman. My eyes fixated on her, but my mind was lost in the words she spoke. She told me about the ideals of her people presented through dance. She told me of the Gods they worship and the stories told. Both tragic and happy. Then she was up, and leading me down to the ocean.
I tensed. Her gentle hold on my hand almost slipped as I tried to pull away. She was quick to grip tighter. Eleu looked back at me, once calm eyes now expecting me to give up.
“I don’t like the ocean.” Her brow furrowed. She didn’t know what to say again. Caught off guard and in confusion.
“You can’t have land without the ocean.”
It was my turn to look confused.
“Water balances.” She turned it into a teaching moment. She grabbed the hat off my head and tossed it somewhere behind us. Eleu and I spent most of the sunset side by side on the wet sand. She taught me something she said she often taught the kids in her class. Simple, easy to follow and remember. But my heart fluttered all the same when she looked to me every so often to nod in approval. There was no music, but Eleu did hum occasionally. Her voice was calm. Relaxing. I still hated the ocean, but i understood her words a bit more as we danced.
“You never told me what story this one tells.” It wasn’t perfect. My dancing was far from it, but I thought I kept up with her fairly well.
“The tragedy of a girl who thinks the God’s sent her a man to love.”
——————
The next time I saw Eleu, she explained the depth behind the story. It was one of her own she said she often told the kids to teach them of the dangers of impulsiveness. We sat in the grass outside of the school building. Occasionally, Eleu would speak a Hawaiian word and pause. At first I hadn’t understood what she wanted, but we fell into a routine after the first few times. She was teaching me words even if I wouldn’t remember right away. When the sun began to set, she had finished off her tale. It was a tragedy.. she told me that.. but I still got a little choked up at the end.
I hadn’t worn a hat this time. Eleu disliked them anyways, and I figured a bit of sun wouldn’t hurt my face. Until I was squinting as we both looked out at the sunset. The golden glow was beautiful, but I could barely catch it. Until the breeze whipped through the tall palms and a frond blocked the blinding light.
“I think she is starting to like you.” Eleu grabbed my hand and pressed my palm into the grass, her own on top of mine.
——————
The third time we met, Eleu had promised something fun. Trevor was under the influence that I’d eaten something bad, and sickness was my excuse for staying behind. I had chosen to wear joggers instead of the usual shorts simply because it was supposed to be a cold evening. Eleu kept me out longer than I expected to be the last time.
When I caught her figure down the sand, I began to wish I hadn’t lied to Trevor.
“Surfboards?” I called. She was expecting me to go out there with her. In the ocean.
Eleu nodded. She met me halfway down the sand.
“Just one, and a paddle.” She held the paddle out to me. I nodded and took it from her hand. “Nothing too difficult.”
“I didn’t wear swim trunks.” I pursed my lips, shook my head, and feigned disappointment. She saw right through me.
“You wore boxers?” My cheeks flushed at the question. She was serious, but I’d lived with Trevor too long for my head not to drop into the gutter.
“Y- yeah..”
“Leave your pants here.” I hesitated at her words. “I won’t look. Ho’oma’ema’e. Respect.”
I barely knew this woman. It could have been a made up word. A made up moral. She could have been messing with me since the moment I approached her. But I trusted her all the same, slipping my pants off and tossing my shirt into the sand as well.
Eleu remained true to her word.
I followed her into the ocean, a quiet hiss escaping my lips at the chill of the water. And maybe the fear of the unknown. The only thing that helped was how clear the water was.
Once we were out far enough, Eleu told me to get on the surfboard. She did her best to balance out the weight by leaning most of her own on one end while I climbed onto the other. I sat with my legs dangling off either side. I wanted to pull them up, but Eleu explained it would be harder to balance that way. She also said facing my fears wouldn’t hurt.
Eleu stood on the other end of the surfboard, and it was only then that I realized we were doing nothing more than paddle boarding. It was relaxing. The ocean, I decided, was maybe okay.
Eleu didn’t do much paddling after a while, allowing the ocean to simply move us as it pleased. She still stood though. She seemed to prefer that over sitting. I didn’t mind. My back was turned to her anyway. But my sense of relaxation had been interrupted when I felt a splash of water hit my back.
“Excuse you!” I tried to turn to get a good look at Eleu, but nothing seemed to work. So instead, I scooped a hand into the water to fling it backwards at her. Eleu laughed.
I realized it was the first time I ever heard her laugh.
“Just making sure you were still awake, Jamie.” She teased, gently tapping my back with the end of the paddle. It’s then, that her laughter quieted, and my eyes searched the ocean frantically in concern. I waited for her to speak again. Had I done something wrong?
“What is this from?” The weight on the surfboard shifted, and I felt a finger graze the scar on my shoulder. I pursed my lips, shrugging. It’s not really a conversation I wanted to have. Not on my vacation.
“Freak accident.” It was all I offered, but Eleu picked up on my discomfort. She pressed a kiss to the scar, then moved back to where she’d been previously.
By the time we got back to the beach, I was rushing to make it ‘home’ in time to beat Trevor. I had by mere seconds.
——————
“My tūtū gave me these,” Eleu presented a basket full of what I could only assume were leaves. It was my second to last day on the island. We’d both been anticipating the day where I did leave, but neither of us wanted to treat it like it was real.
“She said they would be good symbols of luck when you leave.” I sigh softly at her words.
Eleu wanted to relax and do something calm that night. She suggested teaching me how to make leis, and I had gone along with her plan like all the others.
We sat on a folded out blanket in the grass. Outside the school building. I helped Eleu place everything out. I told her that I felt bad she went and picked so many flowers all on her own, but she said it gave her time to reflect.
We sat side by side, like the other nights before, though this time, her knee was practically up against my own. We were as close as we could get while she showed me the process of pulling stems off flowers, threading them on the string, adding other elements. Then she pulled out one of those leaves.
“A lei is a symbol of greeting, and connection. It’s also a symbol of friendship and celebration, and parting.” My eyes flickered between Eleu and the string she worked on threading with flowers.
“It symbolizes aloha.”
“I thought aloha meant hello?”
“I never told you it meant goodbye too.” Eleu presented the leaf with pursed lips and sad eyes. My heart hurt. I’d never see her again.
“This is a maile leaf. In our culture.. it represents respect, and blessing. Devotion, and friendship.” She smiled at me. “And love.”
Eleu was not one to elaborate very much. I learned that quickly. And from this, I learned two things. That her grandmother approved of whatever we had going on. And that Eleu had fallen for me as hard as I had fallen for her.
“I’ll miss you.” We could have stayed in touch, but long distance simply wasn’t going to work and we knew it.
“I’ll miss you too, Jamie.” Eleu gently placed the leaf back into the basket. I eyed it for a while before she urged me to join her, speaking playfully through her sadness, telling me that her lesson on making leis would have been for nothing if I just sat there.
She worked faster than I did. I struggled, but she offered great distraction with the sound of my name.
“Jamie.” I looked up slowly, brow raised in interest. Eleu had a white flower with brown spots in her hand. She broke a piece of the stem off and leaned forward. I watched her eyes as she tucked some of my dark hair behind my ear, then placed the stem of the flower there as well. My face felt like it was on fire.
I stared her down with wide eyes, a frown tugging at the corners of my lips. Eleu looked so unbelievably beautiful within the golden hour of sunset.
“The island has accepted you.”
“Wish it could have done that a little sooner.. before I had to go.” I admitted bashfully, my eyes falling to the ground.
Eleu shook her head. She rested her hand on my cheek and tilted my head up so I’d look at her.
“Im glad she took her time.”
The whispered words were the last off either of our lips before they connected. Kissing Eleu was as heartbreaking as it was euphoric. I loved every second of it.. and she must have felt the same, because it escalated within its own time. I didn’t mind. With girls back home, I might have been more hesitant to go for a one night stand. With Eleu? It didn’t feel so shallow. So ‘one night-ish’. We respected each other. We respected one another’s feelings and bodies. Everything was so gentle. So perfect. So secret. So intimate.
We laid together for what felt like hours after. Until my reality came in the form of a phone call from Trevor. He was worried, but I assured him I’d only been out to grab a quick drink before our last day together on the island. After he hung up, I bid the beautiful island girl goodbye.
“You promise you’ll come see me off on Sunday?” I had to ask. I wanted to make sure we would see each other one last time.
“I love you.”
It wasn’t the answer I had been seeking, but the response to my question came that Sunday. When Eleu was nowhere to be found, and Trevor was rushing me into the airport. Eager to get home while all I wanted to do was go awol and find the girl of my dreams.
The girl who didn’t even show up to see me off.
“Aloha…”

your opinion on ''My Fair Ed''? everyone says edd was a dick in that episode, but I think ed and eddy are waaay worse, causing trouble freely and laughing at his friend's expense. And the kids just playing outright misplaced retribution too...
everyone was so unlikable in this one, I don't think we can't actually take side with someone.
oh ye of little faith. taking sides is one of my few talents. i'm just gonna watch it and write as i go.
i just have to start by saying that there are so many good gags in this episode. the eggplant coffin. ed running circles around the tree while eddy pretends to be chased. rolf's "husky boy masquerade" line. and one of my favorite of edd's drama queen moments with the pretzel boy soliloquy.
right off the bat, we don't talk about edd having to literally shop for his own groceries enough. that's my biggest take away from the first scene. that and he really loves bean pastes.
anyway, yeah ed and eddy are being... ed and eddy in this episode. to me it doesn't seem like they're causing any more damage than they do on any given day.
they've literally demolished jonny's house in the past. all they did this time was accidentally steal plank.
jimmy gets brutalized in nearly episode, it's kind of his thing - nothing new in my fair ed. considering he's not even in a full body cast, i'd say his injuries were mild this time around. and remember, the eds are the reason he wears a retainer.
kevin's bike gets busted all the time so that's also not shocking. plus shovel chin loves fixing his bike, so i'd almost consider it a favor 😂 maybe if he didn't have such a cheap ass bike...
and yes they destroyed rolf's eggplants. but rolf was way more affected by eddy throwing the sea cucumber ball, to the point that he literally challenged him to a duel.
finally, edd is the first person they annoy, and they've done and will do way worse to him. you could definitely argue that he reached a breaking point, and that very well may be. but if that's the case, why didn't he reach that point sooner? 🤔
the obvious difference is that edd is getting all the blame for their bullshit this time. kevin ties his hat in a knot, then threatens to do the same to his legs. plus he'll have to deal with a wrathful note from his father about the screen door being destroyed again.
side note: i really enjoy that as soon as eddy gives in to edd's blubbering - only after he brings up how eddy's scams would be negatively affected if he's relegated to the side show - the dramatics end and edd gleefully skips away. what a brat.
now we're on to the good stuff. i fucking love this part when edd raises a hand to eddy. it's just so absurd. granted, that's after eddy asks if he wants a knuckle sandwich, but still. then there's the classic frame of eddy putting 2 + 2 together.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
some folks theorize that edd was taught his manners in a similar fashion and i think that's a pretty logical conclusion to draw. the alternative is that he came up with this sadistic lesson on his own which is kind of worse? regardless of which is true, he's knows that inflicting pain is effective at getting someone to do what you want. i gotta say, those tough-strip bandaids ain't no bitch. and that's coming from someone with a high pain threshold.
another side note, i love eddy's "polite" voice. he sounds like such a tool.
my conclusion: indeed everyone is the asshole in this episode.
i think it's really funny how ed and eddy get back at edd by pretending to be reformed. like i said, at the start of the episode, they're just being kids. kids that destroy everything they come into contact with, but they do that and much worse all the time. edd still chooses to hang out with them. i think edd got pissy that they busted his door and disrespected his groceries, then his pissiness was compounded by the kids wrongly pointing the finger at him. i think he took things too far with the bandaid thing. but he ends the episode by apologizing and learning his lesson. which if i'm not mistaken is one of, if not, the only time that happens with any character in the show.
if i had to rank everyone by asshole-ness it'd be the neighborhood kids at the top, edd in the middle, then tweedledee and tweedledum a hair below him at the bottom.

Thanks again for responding and sharing. I'm glad these asks make you happy ^^
(You don't have to look further into Harvest Moon but If you do look for a lets play of sorts or something Harvest Moon DS/DS Cute & Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town/More Friends of Mineral Town (Gameboy) are the ones that from my knowledge look the most visually similar to Stardew Valley. But Harvest Moon Animal Parade takes place in a coastal/island-like town.)
The dynamics seem like they'll be really fun! It was also nice to hear the reasoning behind it all. You've put a lot of thought into how they interact. I'm excited for future scenarios ^^ I really enjoyed reading all of it. Also thanks for talking about them as siblings. You don't have to apologize for not answering tho, you can always not answer, I'll understand.
Addionally, I think it's really cool how the lionfish worked out ^^
Okay so for BigB's tail, I wanted to give proper ideas, I only came up with three sorta suggestions so I’ll also share my thought process a bit so that maybe that instead will help you further decide what you do or don’t want. So my first thought was a shark. I’m not entirely sure that’s, like, equivalent to Scar being a lionfish but I think that the reason I considered the idea is that sharks can be dangerous but, like, also they’re not as dangerous to humans as they're portrayed? Ya know what I mean, like I think it’s gotten better but like they were more feared than need be. Like I’m struggling with the words but do you get what I’m saying and the correlation? Idk. If not that's okay. I wasn’t really sure about sharks anyway. Next,
I searched for fish that burrowed. And I did this because I was thinking about why canary!BigB and rabbit!BigB exist and if I recall correctly him being in the mines/underground alot were overlapping points. (I woulda considered satyr!BigB but I know nothing about that. And thinking about it now dogs like to dig too and sometimes he’s got dog ears because double life so I think this is an okay hole I went down). I’m too indecisive and picky  and wasn't sure what kind of fish you'd like though so I only have three fish to present to you as options so hopefully if none of these strike a chord with you. This whole thing helps somehow:
1, The Bonnethead Shark. Yea I found a shark that burrows. So even though I wasn’t entirely sure about sharks and I gave up on finding small sharks, I thought I’d share this one. Besides sharks are cool even if many fear them & Jimmy & Grian come to think BigB's cool right? So maybe that lines up?
(Also did you know that sharks used to be called "sea dogs" and that there is a Dogfish Shark, I didn't do much research so I can't give it as a suggestion but I just looked it up while typing this so I thought I'd mention it.)
2, The Yellow Headed Jawfish, this fish was honestly just too pretty for me not to recommend. It’s got a bit of blue in its fins (and that’s really all I can give you on blue fish). Plus on a site that sells fish they were described as “playful and like to people watch” so I thought it might be fitting. Note though, if you look up this fish, you might come across images of it carrying lots of eggs in its mouth. That’s something they do, carry their eggs in their mouth. I did see a term for it but I forgot what it was. But if that’s gonna be too disturbing you might wanna be cautious(wasn't the first few images when I looked it up) or maybe not look it up just in case. But it is really pretty in my opinion if you do.
And lastly there's the Southern Stargazer. I guess it is considered an ugly fish so heads up on that? Personally, I do think looking at a close up of it's face while it's buried can be a bit spooky but also I think otherwise it's a bit fun to look at & its tail is neat. And it turns out they're also venomous, not enough to kill, but it's still painful, can cause swelling and induce shock. ("also" because Scar's a lionfish)
Speaking of, this fish is the closest one I found in terms of size to Lionfish not sure that matters to you but yea
I did attempt looking for, like, actually blue fish but like the Cichlid is a freshwater fish and Idk if it's a funny or cruel irony to suggest a damselfish when they are actually seen as food to lionfish if in a tank together. Especially when I don't know if it's true for all damselfish or just the yellow tailed ones. (Plus they don't do great in solitude which kept being a thing for blue fish but I think I mainly found, like, river fish.) But I guess this difficulty is probably part of the reason you said it didn't have to be a blue fish lol
Thanks for sharing what you do have so far for the side characters :3 Question: For the pub, does it include the arcade area and/or would the stage be in that general area?
Also it seems like a cool idea to include more creatures. Besides the spirits are there any you're thinking of but haven't decided who it could be? Or alternatively, any others you think you'd want to be something supernatural but haven't decided what yet?
And if it's not too much to ask, do you think that on an events timeline the potential Pearl arc would be closer to the beginning or further down the line.
And yea it's totally fine for you to leave it in the ask box, I'm glad you find it's something you'd want to look back at at all ^^ Thank you for your time and thanks again for sharing your thoughts/ideas.
anon i love you so much. genuinely you are the BEST. im so sorry for letting this rot in the inbox for so long, i both forgot about it and just didn't even know how to respond since this is so good (and also wanted to get some more polished drawings of all 3 possible fish, but my motivation just wasn't having it so just a couple doodles im sorry). genuinely so sorry about how long this took, time just got away from me.
I absolutely LOVE your idea for bigb as a shark, when I first read that I think I genuinely yelled out in excitement. You're a GENIUS. That's such a good idea, I really enjoy it and you got your point across well! I love canary/rabbit!bigb (my design for him is a bunny so this is RIGHT up my alley) and I love the idea of a burrowing fish and bonnethead shark is absolutely GENIUS. He was really fun to draw too!! Thank you SO much for the suggestion! I think I want a scaled fish design, though, but I still appreciate this one so much since it was SUCH an interesting idea. Sharks are sea puppies, dogs dig, rabbits also dig, so burrowing. Very logical line of thought from me.
Tumblr media
Oh this guy is GORGEOUS!!!!! So pretty and so lovely. I think fish and the ocean is so cool so I thought the egg carrying is actually so fascinating so don't worry, both of the little warnings you gave about weird fish weren't necessary fish are awesome and cool forever. I don't know what to say, just a very pretty fish and fun to draw!!
The stargazer is SO HANDSOME!!! I can't believe its considered ugly :( I love that little connection to Scar's lionfish-ness, this is such a cool fish (the fins are gorgeous)
Tumblr media
Thank you SO much for the fish suggestions! I really liked the yellow headed jawfish, the colors were just so gorgeous, so I think i'm gonna go with that one! Genuinely can't thank you enough for this, I was losing my mind over that.
Answering questions time! Here's a little doodle of what the saloon looks like! (names still pending but probably something moon or dogwarts related) Theres a kitchen and backstage area somewhere but that doesnt matter right now :)
Tumblr media
Man, I had one draft of this response where I had everything written out for other creatures but my computer restarted and didn't save it but I will try my best to write it out again!
I like the idea of fae or some kind of land-based creature, but I feel like fae are a really complex species and just in general such a large world to also incorporate if I do go for any land-based creatures, so I don't think I will sadly. Trying to think about this in terms of how I would tell the story in an actual piece of writing instead of these posts of loads of exposition, yknow? So, final verdict, no cool land creatures (except maybe werewolf because i am a sucker for some rendog werewolf fun) . I love avian stuff though so a very high likelihood of birds coming into play in at least some form? Birds are just so cool to me. Also, there are probably gonna be a decent variety in sea creature species! Like there are sirens, standard merfolk, and selkies so far but if I can think of another type of sea creature then i'll probably add them in. On the topic of sea creatures, an updated list on all the merfolk! (also if you want to see some other hermit mermaids, or mermits, check out jalo-parker's art from the past few weeks! we thought up some fish designs just for his own use and they're really cute, and if some of the humans were mermaids they would 100% be those) Scar lionfish, Bigb yellowheaded jawfish, Bub whale shark, Cleo sea nettle jellyfish, Etho AND Bdubs selkies, Joe Hills leaf sheep nudibranch, and even though Martyn is a human if he was a mermaid he would be a mimic octopus! These aren't all of the merfolk, they're just the ones i've decided on and assigned a fish (or selkie) to :)
Also don't worry! I actually already have a barebones timeline for what I think is going to happen with the plot points I know so far! Jimmy and Grian move, hang out for like 4 days, then the whole siren plotline starts and ends, since everyone is now happy they have a good few months of just bonding with the merfolk and the townsfolk which I can't wait to think about more, then Pearl's whole arc starts! I think that's the natural progression of the plot as the stakes in Pearl's arc is the actual apocalypse bringing the end of the universe which is just a little bit more intense. I don't know a whole lot of the details about that quite yet though.
Thank you so much for the ask again! I genuinely can't apologize enough for how long this took to answer, and I hope it doesn't discourage you from sending another one in. I absolutely love seeing your opinions and ideas :) Thanks for listening to my rambling about my ideas again :D

Chapter 4: An Obstacle of a Fear
A couple of hours had passed since the blue Kratt's near-drowning experience.
Looking out from the top of the ship and on the angry sea, waves roaring in his ears, Martin sighed as he took another sip from the mug full of tea that Jimmy had brewed for him, a saddened expression on his face.
He was too lost in thought, when a hand suddenly squeezed his shoulder. Startled, he looked around to find his brother's concerned face.
"Hey, bro," Chris said warmly, adjusting the blue blanket around his shoulders, having been there from the moment they brought him inside the Tortuga, a coping mechanism of some sort. "How are you feeling?"
The question almost caught his breath, pausing as if he needed to think deeply of an answer. "A lot better," he lied, faking a smile.
"You sure?" Chris frowned, looking into his eyes as though sensing something was wrong.
"Yeah," he placed the mug on the edge, before taking off the blanket from his shoulders. "In fact, I feel like going back surfing!"
"You do?!" Chris couldn't believe his ears. He was so stunned that he reached out a hand to feel his brother's temperature, fearing a probable fever might have something to do with it.
Martin immediately backed away. "I'm fine bro, really." He tried to sound convincing, but deep down, he had no clue why he was so tempted to go back, especially after what he went through-
He mentally smacked himself, trying to get rid of the thought that was haunting him. "Besides, it'll help me feel even better," he added, trying not to make it sound like a lie.
Chris was studying him for the longest time. "Fine, but make sure you take it easy," he finally said, sighing in defeat. "Koki said the waves have calmed down a bit so we should be good to go."
Martin nodded enthusiastically, before heading down to his room, where he could change back to his swimming gear. He then met his brother outside on the beach, marching toward their surf boards where they had left them.
The closer they got to the water, the louder Martin's heart pounded.
As soon as Chris grabbed his board, he charged right at the water, carrying a gleam of excitement in his eyes. Martin, on the other hand, just stood still, his toes brushing his surf board. He kept staring at the water motionlessly, eyes wide and unblinking, even swallowing became hard all of a sudden. It was as if the whole world had stopped, as if it were just him and the raging waves. At some point, he was beginning to feel dizzy, the world shaking beneath him.
A faint voice, which he immediately recognized as his brother's, snapped him out of it. He shook his head before squinting his eyes to see him already pulling off a rad trick.
"Woohoo!" Chris cheered. "Martin, aren't you gonna jump in?"
Martin felt unsure, his eyes darting from him to the Tortuga. "Uhh, I-I forgot something in the Tortuga, I'll be back in a minute," he stammered, then headed back to the HQ before Chris had the chance to ask any more questions. He shrugged, not thinking much about his brother's strange attitude, as he carried on surfing.
As soon as he walked into the main room, Martin let out a long and loud sigh, loud enough to catch the crew's attention, before sinking in his hammock, face buried in his hands.
Abandoning their tasks - Aviva her invention station, Koki her computer and Jimmy his video game - they went over to check on their friend.
Martin looked up to find worried faces circling him, instantly straightening up and faking a smile. "Hey guys, what's up?" He tried to chuckle, but failed miserably.
"Martin, are you okay?" Aviva asked, suspecting something was troubling him.
"Sure I'm okay, nothing's wrong, everything's just fine..." His voice trailed off, the fake cheerful look on his face quickly shifting into an upset one. He looked down to avoid his friends' concerned expressions.
"Hey," let out Koki while placing a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Whatever's bothering you, you can tell us."
Martin looked up to find reassuring eyes looking down at him, then sighed as he mustered up the courage to finally confess his fear. "Truth is... just thinking about swimming is making my knees lock up. It's like I've come down with-" he stopped, not daring to finish that sentence.
"A fear of swimming?" Aviva supposed. Martin barely gave a nod, looking down with sad eyes.
"Hey Martin, I know a lot about fear. I'm afraid of the dirt between my toes, losing my controller and heights. But check it out, that's why I play with this." Jimmy took out his controller and started playing a video game on the big screen. "Martin Kratt's surfing extreme. I programmed in all your moves." As he spoke, a pixel Martin could be seen pulling off all sorts of surfing tricks. "That's a bottom turn, cut back with a snap. Just play this, see, you'll get all your moves back!"
"Oh yes!" Martin gladly took his controller and gave the game a try, but just as made the first move, his persona fell from the surf board, causing a huge game over to appear on the screen. He sighed as he looked down, feeling hopeless.
"Nice one, Jimmy. You just made him feel worse," Koki frowned.
"I'm gonna go for a walk, not a swim, just a walk." Martin said with a sad tone, returning the controller to its owner. The crew watched as he headed outside, exchanging sad expressions as they felt empathy for the poor Kratt.
Meanwhile, the Kratt in green was having a blast surfing his heart out. With the wind in his hair and the water splashing on his body, he tempted one last quick, sharp turn off the top of a wave before diving, disappearing into the sea foam.
It was only after a few seconds that his head emerged from the now slightly calmer sea water, gasping for air for a brief moment before breaking into laughter. "Now that was fun!" His laughing fit slowly started dissipating, getting replaced by a frown. "But it's not the same without Martin." He looked at the blue ship, hoping to see his brother walk out of it and fully ready for another dive.
Ever since he nearly drowned, he hadn't been himself, he thaught. It wasn't like him to turn down one of his most cherished activities. After all, he was the swimming brother. He couldn't give that up so easily... Could he?
Too distracted by his persistent thoughts, Chris hadn't noticed a familiar creature swimming beneath him. He flinched as his foot brushed against an unknown smooth surface. Curious, he dove his head, his whole body upside down, and scanned his surroundings.
Nothing.
Just when he began to think his mind was playing tricks on him, he felt an unexpected bump behind him. Startled, he quickly flipped around to meet eye to eye with-
"Emerald!" Chris let out, the name coming out through bubbles, muffled and indistinct in the water.
As in sudden remembrance, he returned to the surface as fast as he dove in, gasping for air after having been under water for a little too long. Then, he felt the turtle's shell brush against his leg, and giggled. "Stop! That tickles!"
Emerald was practically swimming circles around him now. "Looking for Martin?" Chris raised an eyebrow, the turtle coming to a stop as a response. "Yeah, he said he'd be back in a minute, but he's taking forever..." He paused as the image of his brother darting back to the Tortuga flashed before his eyes. "I hope he's okay," he finally said with a sad tone, stealing a glance at the blue ship.
Yet again, Emerald started swimming around Chris, as though attempting to cheer him up. He couldn't help but cackle.
Suddenly, through his laughter, a familiar tune pierced the air. Chris' laugh stopped short, the sound becoming more and more audible, until recognizing it as none other than...Gourmand's voice.
"Sea turtle gratin, sea turtle soup. Wherever you're hiding, I'll find you."
Chris' eyes widened. "Oh no!" He turned to his fellow creature and tried to think of a way to keep him safe, but nothing came to his panicked mind. After all, it wasn't like he had enough time to think, because before he knew it, Gourmand's boat was heading straight towards them.
For a split second, Chris felt like his heart stopped in his chest. Just then, Gourmand's boat came to a stop only a few meters away from his face, Emerald still swimming beneath him.
Good. Stay where you are.
Heavy footstomps, followed by an evil laugh. Chris looked up to find Gourmand walking up to the edge, sniffing harder than before. "Ah, I can smell one right he-" His jaw dropped as he looked down to find Chris smiling nervously at him. "You?!" He had a look of disgust on his face.
"Hey, Gourmand..." Chris' voice trailed off, adding a nervous laugh. "Uhh, what are you doing here?" The fake smile on his face was so wide, his cheeks hurt.
However, the villain wasn't buying it, his eyes narrowing. "Well if you really wanna know, I'm looking for a sea turtle for my new recipe." He rubbed his hands diabolically.
A suffocated gasp squeaked out of Chris' chest. He couldn't let him spot Emerald. "Well that's too bad, there aren't any sea turtles around here," he faked a chuckle which made the villain raise an eyebrow.
"This nose is never wrong, I smell a sea turtle and I know it's close." He sniffed again. "Very close."
Chris gulped, sweat running down his wet face. And at that moment, Emerald's shadow became noticeable underneath the green Kratt.
A scary smile made its way to Gourmand's face...
During their encounter, Martin walked out of the ship, feeling down. He was practically dragging his feet in the sand, arms wrapped around himself. He couldn't believe he was scared of swimming. SWIMMING! Out of all things.
He suddenly came to a stop, sighed...then flinched as the sea foam crawled up to his feet, the roaring waves agravating his anxiety.
He took a few steps back, swallowing hard, heart pounding fast. "I-I can't stay scared forever," he clapped his face, "I gotta get back out there."
He looked longingly at the sea...when his eyes caught something strange in the distance. "Is that a boat?" His eyes squinted and that's when he spotted a familiar figure. "Gourmand!" he gasped, before realizing that his brother was right in front of the boat.
It was too much to take in. Then he tried calming himself down, thinking there may be no reason to panic. But when he saw the villain take out a huge net, and his brother gesturing frantically, shouting his lungs out, he knew something was wrong.
He watched as the net got thrown on Chris, Gourmand pulling him up along with...a sea turtle?His eyes widened, realizing it wasn't just any sea turtle.
"Emerald!" He watched in horror as his brother kicked and fought to break free from the net, but in vain. Gourmand just threw him and Emerald in the corner of the boat where he could keep an eye on them, then walked over to the steering wheel, laughing loudly, getting ready to propel out of there.
"No, stop!" Martin yelled out, following the direction the boat was going in, not daring to step one foot into the water. He couldn't swim. He. Couldn't. Swim. All he could do at that moment was run, as if that were going to help.
"What's the matter blueberry, afraid of a little swim?" Gourmand taunted him after spotting him.
The insult felt like a stab in the stomach.
His newly developed fear forced him to watch as the boat with his brother and sea turtle friend onboard got farther and farther...until disappearing far into the other side of the beach.
"Chris! Emerald!" He slowly came to a stop, processing what had happened, processing the fact that he didn't try to save them... Then he dropped on his hands and knees. "No."
He looked up, staring at the sea, anger building up within him.
"NO!"

hello!!! i was going through your jimmysea tag as one do and i came across this:
"i still remember the day an anon told me he improvised nomming on his co-star's face and using a pillow to suggest stripping said co-star down and eating him out all in the name of Acting™ because i've never been the same ever since. the me before and after i was given this information are completely different people"
and i need to know more about this you don't understand. what is this about??? who is the co-star??? i feel changed as a person.
thank you!!!
HELLO ANON LET ME TAKE YOU ON A JOURNEY THAT I LIKE TO CALL DERANGEMENT AND METHOD ACTING: INSIDE THE MIND OF GMMTV HIT ACTORS PAIR JIMMYSEA
so, basically, jimmy liked to improvise quite a lot while filming vice versa: some of those scenes didn’t end up in the show itself, but some of them actually did. of the latter, the most infamous ones are the pillow scene in episode 9 and the nom nom scene in episode 10
im frankly not mentally stable enough to describe the pillow scene so im just gonna let the screenshots speak for themselves
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I REPEAT: this entire scene was NOT in the script. it was fully IMPROVISED. which means that on the left you have a man taking method acting on a whole new level and being fully aware of the derangement he's about to unleash into the world, while on the right you can see the genuine growing horror on the face of his co-star as he realizes the implications of stripping a pillow down and burying your face in it when said pillow is supposed to be the stand-in for a person. even neo's chatacter waking up and yelling about the dentist right after that was improvised
Tumblr media
my man neo was really there praying to god to either make someone call cut or to strike him down where he laid to get away from that shit, and when he realized god had abandoned him he took it upon himself to put an end to whatever insanity he was witnessing. most insane sequence of events in under 20 seconds like. EVER
based on this, one would think that sea was just a mere bystander when it comes to his co-star’s derangement, but don’t let him fool you!!!!! he’s just as bad as jimmy, and the nom nom scene actually proves it. in episode 10, puen smeared some chocolate on talay's cheek, and jimmy was supposed to clean sea’s face by using his fingers and then eat the chocolate from them, pretty much like what happened with the cake scene in episode 8, but jimmy said ‘you know what? i think puen would take it a step further now’ and went full NOM. and then he nommed a little more
Tumblr media
at which point sea was like ‘i simply think it’s not fair that hia should have all the fun’ so he decided to nom jimmy back
Tumblr media
and this is why the jimmysea fandom is called ‘nom nom’ (jimmy's favorite episode is episode 10 exactly for this reason btw)
meanwhile, as all of this went down, p’x was standing behind the cameras just giggling twirling his hair kicking his feet like oh my god boys stopppppppp you're soooo cute and smart hihihihi OF COURSE we're gonna keep these scenes in the show!!!!!!
WHEN I TELL YOU EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS SHOW IS INSANE AND MADE SURE TO MAKE US GO INSANE TOO

Hi, as you asked (in the tags) "Why do I feel like the show is kinda underrated"? Cause as you point out, the views and hastag trendings are not so great.
I have to say I didn't notice this but maybe, could it be because people don't understand the plot yet? and maybe because they aren't familiar with the actors (Sea and Jimmy)? Or they too familiar with the character of Wai (played by Jimmy) that they can't help but not be able to unsee him.
And lastly, could it be that the plot is way different of what its usually seen that people are not ready yet?
Nevertheless the show is great. Hopefully if it's not now, maybe with time people will see it and appreciate it.
yeah anon it's really a mystery to me lol.
I've been reading a bunch of comments on MDL and so many people are saying they're confused about the story; there are too many plotholes regarding the universe-switch and that they were expecting a more sci-fi kinda vibe, as opposed to a cute and fun one. Which has me confused because theyre complaining about a plot that’s not abstract enough but at the same time they’re complaining that the plot is too complicated?? Make it make sense. Like obviously ppl are allowed to dislike it lol but also we’re on episode 4. Give it some time. Also as someone who generally has trouble understanding more elaborate plots, I don’t find this confusing at all? Like to me everything makes sense so far. So idk. 
Also some ppl legit said they wanna see more ohmnanon which is just annoying as hell. It was nice seeing them and all the BBS stuff was fun but this is jimmysea's show and they're doing amazing so far and they deserve so much more attention than what they're getting right now.
Also I'd like to point out that when cupids last wish aired earlier this year, people ate it up with no questions whatsoever. I don’t wanna generalize it but from my perspective, the majority was enjoying it so what’s so different about vice versa? it’s literally the exact same concept (except for the universe switch). From the body swap to us seeing the people who are “inside”, as opposed to the vessels etc. - so like??? idk I’m gonna stop rambling now but I don’t get it. Hopefully it’ll gain some more attention in the future because if someone deserves it it’s them 🥺

i know most of us are past the stage of buggin over the new release date for the other Avatar movies, but I've been thinking this little thing for a while now.
Obviously James Cameron, and the other makers of the franchise, they read reviews, they read whatever critics say, read articles, regarding TWOW.
I can't help but think that maybe they've, caught a glimpse of our own scenario's and conspiracies regarding the future movies (Over social media👀). Maybe James Cameron had to say like, hold on now, lemme note this down real quick. Though honestly, I don't think he'll disappoint us for the other three instalments. I know they've already filmed movie 3, and parts of movie 4, so they wouldn't add anything in right?
All I'm saying is that because TWOW was so popular, and they were a lot of fangals winging and sulking over Neteyam, maybe Cameron had second thoughts. Maybe there was so much predicted, Neteyam's death for Lo'aks character development, Jake and Tsu'teys relationship = Lo'ak and Ao'nungs relationship etc. That Cameron had to take a breather and be like..... "nah fuck it we move on." 😂
Also I feel that Movie 3 will blow us away, in a good way. We're gonna be seeing different environments, Quaritch won't be the only antagonist, we're gonna see more action, I hope we see even more bonding between all the Sully's, we're gonna see Ao'nung with his first tattoos and (I pray) longer hair. Like it's gonna be great.
This is me being delusional that somehow, someway Neteyam could come back. But uh, I think those sea anemones got him good.
I hope this ain't too much, I know you like long discussions, and I've been wanting to voice my lil 'theory'. Also I hope this makes sense? 😂✨❤️
Hiiiii Nonnie!
Okay I think about this often.
Did Jimmy Cam & crew realize that we were going to love Neteyam this much?
They had to have like an inkling. Jamie Flatters is so beyond handsome and charming and the way that they wrote that character-
Like how were we not supposed to fall in love with Neteyam.
Hoping for at least a buncha flashbacks of our boi!
Fun fact. One of my close friends is in the business and has straight up told me that media chomps fanfiction bit.
Especially right now while there’s a strike going on and writers are putting their foots down, please be careful with your intellectual property.
That being said.
I am beyond excited for the future films but so sad that we have to wait even longer. Kind of crazy that most of us are completely growing up along side this franchise, right?!?
I can’t wait. I hope they drop around Christmas again like the first 2.
Avatar December’s are my religion at this point.

Jimmy remembering his past lives would explain remembering the life series while others don't remember it
wait yeah he does recognize the life series--
AUGH. IM GONNA TEAR HIM APART I CANT MAKE SENSE OF HIM AT ALL
continuity of my headcanons for jimmy has always been so difficult for me that i just. augh. because on one hand we have my long-running headcanons of him from evo, with the listener lore, and the connection to traffic series. but empires timelines are...hard to incorporate. because lore wise, in S1, we have his backstory as ancient sea monster guy. if you take it at face value it's really incompatible with my other lore for him. AND you have obvious third life references in the poppies and pufferish of peace. but then S2 comes along and is like. very incompatible with S1 in that it's not possible that they're the same characters. but there's STILL traffic series references.
basically i think the only thing that works at this point is reincarnation/past lives, so that maybe he still remembers some of that stuff but can also have different origins/backgrounds depending on the smp? it's nearly impossible to take what we know of jimmy's characters and corral them all into one singular timeline and One Person. like at some point you either have to sacrifice some lore/headcanons (e.g. he isn't actually a sea monster/toy/listener/canary) or just accept that they're different versions of him
in practice this just basically means that i choose what is canon for jimmy every time i write him in a fanfic. help. so in compass-verse empires S1 jimmy exists (because empires S1 is in IBW) but sheriff jimmy doesn't. but even then it's difficult to do evo!jimmy and empiresS1!jimmy as one person. it's just. sigh. i love his lore but it does not easily work in the ways i want it too LOL

Ok considering quite a few people are doing it I wanna do a "currently watching", "rewatching", "anticipating the most" too so here it
Currently Watching (order is based on the number of episode i have watched) its gonna be mostly generic opinion not too spoilery cuz if I went in the specific of the show this post would be as long as a freaking book cuz I have the ability to write too much:
1. Vice Versa ep.1: this just started 2 days ago, I really liked the first episode the pacing was good, the acting was good, the cinematography and the colors were stunning and the story really intrigues me cuz I am a suker for supernatural teamed BL's, also I am really happy that Sea has a main role, I really like him since 55:15(watch it it's such a good series not BL but it has amazing plot acting and characters) wich marked the start of my love for him (and Pawin but he is not in this show so lets move on) so I'm exited to see how it develops, also OhmNanon always stunning, Jimmy is a snack, I cant wait to see Neo and Victor was a beautiful surprise not gonna lie
2. Oh! My Sunshine Night ep.2: I like this, its a bit slow paced but still enjoiable, I really like Rain he is probably my fav out of the bunch at the 2 episode we shall see later on, I really enjoyed his interaction with Payou, Fluke still amazing like always and I am really liking Kim with his antisocial cold akward interactions he's cute, I feel tho that there are too many caracters and at the moment the screentime is a bit unbalanced.
3. Even Sun ep3. Well... its bad I am not gonna lie, it feels like a huge commercial for beaches in Thailand with BounPrem as MC and it did make me wanna travel to thai islands, back to the story tho its very confusing and this is due to the script wich is scattered and unfocused at best, and the translation errors that are a huge amount so much that sometimes you canto even understend what a character means, the acting is fine our boys are doing the most in my opinion but I also like Mek's actor, overal i am sitting trough this cuz I really missed BounPrem in a main role and am anticipating Between Us so much
4. Sky In Your Heart ep5. ok I still have to watch the latest episodes and its tied to my opinikn on the show, and it's such a booooring show its not interesting I don't like how the characters act, especially Fah, the acting is nice and the visuals are pretty(scenary a la ATOTS wich was the reason I was exited for this show) To be fair I was already pissed with Star In My Mind and i didn't really like the last 6 episodes of that show but I was expecting more from this since the trailer, sky between the 2 was the one I had some expectation for but was disappointed the most by. I'll finish it just cuz its very short and the episodes are not that long but I probably wont enjoy the ride.
5 Mama Gogo ep.6: I FREAKING LOVE THIS SHOW(not BL eaven tho the cast is mostly composed by man) its so funny, light and holesome and over the top with the characters and the interactions and its so amazing it brightens my day, but I already knew from the trailer that Id love it, all the characters are amazing and unique and each one is having their spotlight and they are so funny especially Drake's charcter, Earth's character and Lee's character also I really like Annie she is a bad Bitch and she knows it
6. My Seacret Love ep7. I really like this show at the moment is my comfort show easy simple not too dramatic with lovely characters and relationship the problem au to this point got resolved preatty quikly with good comunication wich I really appreciate and I like the development the characters had since episode 1... exept for Tim I don't like him his so wishiwashi with how he acts you dob't understand his motivs cuz not even him understand himself and he takes his best friend and his feelings for granted never reflecting on his own making it unberable for him.
7. Astrophile ep13. (again not BL) last show and the one I am almost done with cuz its relising bi weakly. I like it its more on the dramatic side compared to other shows on this list(tho the most dramatic one I watched latly is Triage and that is on a compleatly different level cuz its so good) back to the series, I like how they show how women get treated by the work industry and how the pressure from family can break a person life making them the sole sorce of income amd how it takes a tol on them, there is also kind of a love triangle wich I dont like personally but its very mellow and it only makes you simpatize more with the second leed(our beloved Off), Kim the protagonist is a very lovely lead both i character and in visuals(mister Bright hellow) also First is in this and I am a huge suker for him since Not Me(I practically binged the series his in)
This are all the series I am watching at the moment, for the ones acrually reading this you can see that there is no Unforgotten Nights and Love mechanics or Check Out wich are the most poluar ones at the moment but I am not one bit interested in eather of those for different reasons for UN its the same reaso as KinnPorche(wich I have not watched maybe one day ill sit trough it and start it but not at tis moment) and that is the mafia plot line wich I am not a fan of at all and you can say I am too sensitive and that its only a show but its my life i decide what i watch must be something I am sure I am gonna enjoy and mafia stories are not it, you can pin it on me being Italian and being tought to stand against it but still I am entitled to my opinions.
Rant aside, maybe I will update this in the future but I am not sure, I also have no idea enyone is eaven interested in this
Series I am rewatching.... none I have bearly the time to watch the ones airing at the moment with my work skejule imagine rewatching a hole show, none the less the one I am planning on rewatching is: The Umbrella Accademy wich is neather thai nor BL but its one of my favourites show of all time and I wanna rewatch all 3 seasons together, other than that I wanna make myself suffer cuz I wanna rewatch Together with me(only that no bad romance nor next chapter I refuse to go trough both of those messess I dont hate myself thanks) cuz I kinda miss thos 2 idiots Korn and Knock
Ok series I am exited to watch. Lets start with the ones that have a release date wich are just a couple
1. War of Y: so exited for this one the story seems very interesting, with them bringing the dark side of BL to light with 4 different stories and 4 different couples, tho I am scared they will all have a sud ending lets cross fingers to me beig paranoid
2. Love in the air: I'll be compleatly upfront for this I have not watched anything from Mame, no TharnType, no Dont Say No, no Love By Chance(tho I dont know if LBC is in fact written by Mame i havent check I am lazy) so take that I will be going in to this story completly blind, I havent watched the other shows cuz the I didnt loke the plot the interaction and the characters it was too problematic for me but this one sems to have potential even tho the plot written on Mydramalist was kinda cringy but the trailer sparked my interest so we shall see
Now for the ones that still have no date od release(this ones in no particular order)
1. The Eclipse: just the cast would be enough to make me watch this show( HELLOOO First, Khaotung, Neo, Pawin, Louis and AJ like yess take my time and my soul) if you put in also a cool and dark story with a élite school that seems to be killing its students and maybe a time loops I am sold
2.The hole Midnight series by GMMTV so Midnight Motel, Moonlight Chicken and Dirty Laundry all 3 trailers sold it to me with story and cast
3.basically half of the shows in the 2022 borderless from GMMTV I will not write them all down its too much take those four aspecially the eclipse cuz off all its the one I am most intrigued by
4.Wish Me Luck. Na and Fiat in a main role??? YESS PLEASE its about time(que in falsettos song) they gave this boys a main role and not just a support one they deserve it
5.Transplant. just literally discovered this first of all existed, cuz I dont keep up with Thai novels cuz I have 0 access to them, and its the sequel of Manner Of Death and its connected with Triage! ( I love Sammon she is my new Godeess with her connected universe with cool couples and bad guys) and its just been unnounced as MaxTull new project!! exited
6.Make a Wish anothe Summon story with doctora and angels with our boy Fluke Natouch
I am done!!! this was a lot of work to write and nobody is gonna read it LOL, still it was fun to do it and put on "paper" what I was thinking of this shows i am watching an shows i wanna watch hope someone find this eather usefull, interesting or funny
I hope you all have a nice day and until the next post stay healty amd hydrated kisses
