thinking about Alan Wake 2 in both the actual literal timeline (how did this happen and when and what the timeline is) but also in a bigger sense - what all lof this says about creativity and mental health...
I truly relate to Saga's experience in the dark place! As soon as I saw her mapping out her own fears and doubts - managing them in a LOGICAL way so as to not invalidate them - but accept them and move on. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. And this is also how my brain works. She doesn't 'defeat' Other Saga because that darkness is inside everyone, but she logically breaks it down that no - its not the end and I can do better and these doubts are not the definition of me. It's really important o say - yes this one thing is true but so is this other thing and THATS OKAY AND BOTH CAN EXIST AT ONCE.
Meanwhile - proclaimed 'manic depressive Alan Wake has been broken in two and his worst fears doubts and angers are POWERFUL AND REAL and he has never been able to move aside from those emotions to logically work out that it was all just HIM THE WHOLE TIME. 13 years his greatest villain - stalker of his life - was just a version of himself.
And as a writer I do think it's nifty to put a face on the 'other' part of our creative self. Mr. Scratch hasn't just been terrorizing... hes also been writing (but again - hes just Alan) BUT ALSO anyone I know who is a writer has multiple versions of their writing self. I have NIGHT ANGE and DAY ANGE. And night ange is UNHINGED and rambling and daring and dirty... and Day Ange? She has to reread and revise and add the SENSE to things and tie them together. Many of my writer friends have similar angles and personas to their writing life. We aren't insane.. we're just creatives that have to reconcile all of these angles of ourselves.
Alan isn't able to. NOT YET. But Alice know - cause she's his wife and knows him and his method better than anyone and will be able to steer him in her way to help him get out of this. ALSO AS A MARRIED PERSON I FEEL THIS. I am tuned in to my husband like no one else. Even when he can't see the steps he's taking to improve, I can. I dont know.. ITS A LOT AND ITS SO MEANINGFUL.
ANYWAY. I don't know. It speaks to me so much about the self and creativity and how our mental state can take us to dark places and creating through all of it AND JUST WANTING TO SLEEP but the story dear god the story has to go on and get out.
God I love this fucking franchise so much.

Hey did you know you’re also really cool and when you draw that little coyote you I go “yippeee” and “yayyyyy” every time?
:D yeah tahats lapis !!!! kind of. without the jellyhat is lapis. with the jellyhat is when im drawing that specifically as a me. shes. shes my first actual real character i made i made them for a dnd game that never happened aha past me was right it wasnt negativity and thinking bad thoughts it really didnt happen hah!!!
um yeah shes a coyote :) the only person like that. and she found out they were a girl because a classmate was reading yuri in class ignored them when she tried to return the book as the person was leaving decided to hang onto it just to be sure itd get back ended up reading it and getting a double whammy of "girls can do that!?!?!" "I want a be a girl!?!?!?"
they also got kicked out of their magic school at 16 for being unable to do magic properly and sucking so so bad. and from there supports themself with making shitty fake potions that barely do anything and also alchemical stuff and . yeqh :)
lapis coyote is my silly girl and i love her so much her gender is lapis.... :) puts that down on gender questions
she runs on cartoon logic as well. there is zero seriousness to anything about them its entirely just what would be funniest for them. i love her <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3 shes a coyote and i love them because i read a thing with a coyote kin character before bed to help me relax at one point and after a few days of that idreamnt i was a coyote! and woke up feeling a little weird but thats. thats not too important its fine and didnt make me realize that your internal body map of what you all have is entirely created and can be changed and you can have things that you dont physically have.
shes. shes so important to me. the scientific name for coyotes is canis latrans. ok male and female coyotes fight differently amomgst themselves male coyotes stand up to fight eachother which means they end up with lesser wounds but female coyotes stay on all fours which means face and neck is closest and because of that they end up more seriously injuring eachother when fighting. this is important to her because shes trans like me :) and she stands up :) shes a silly coyote and hides her tail and curls up in a ball to sleep like a doggy.
and then i added the jellyhat that @germanboyyippee drew out because i had tried to figure that out before and coulemt but .. xe (? hope im remembering the pronouns right) drew it out cause he liked the idea so much and i got how to draw it after that then i put four octopus tentacles on there instead of jelly tendrils :)
shes just their just so important to me and i wait i have a rlly good art of her
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the first ones from a friend i dont know any of their online stuff second and third are from fabulousnessy on instagram. they were the one that asked about that kind of skintone for lapis as a human and i realized right then that that fits her well and had a moment of "oh fuck am i even allowed to do that for a character" because i am terrified of messing up and thats amplified with this sort of thing cause i dont know anything 👍 and am just absolutely terrified of saying something wrong and having everyone hate me and its rlly annoying cause i feel like that over literally everything so i cannot tell what is actual stuff that might be weird vs totally normal things vs like stuff that would probably make people mad. so its. ye 👍 i am. absolutely terrified that some day suddenly people are gonna be mad over somethingi said or did online and realize that i messed up horribly. um. anyway. lapis yes i love the lap the animal the not magic at all coyote who becomes a aARTIFICER ARTIFICER NOT ALCHEMIST FUCKKKKKK

Day 159: Thursday June 8, 2023 - “This was 23 Months”
Play, travel, and potty training - the benchmarks of William’s last month before turning two.   From here we stop measuring his growth in months.  He’ll just be “two” for the next 12 months and it causes some reflection on how much I’ve enjoyed these little monthly check ins to show the more mundane, day to day inching forward of William’s little life.   Its amazing to look back even on just how much he’s grown and changed in the last six months when he was just starting his climbing phase.
In this past month, William got a new pair of big boy tennis shoes to help him keep up with all that energy and being on the go and we spent much of this 23rd month, out rambling. He spent more than a week in Phoenix with his cousins, and then put his 20th state on the map with Wisconsin before spending Memorial Day under the Arch in St Louis.  He’s now been to five big league Zoos and Baseball Parks (8 MLB games).
He is starting to eat a wider variety of foods, but anything that involves a dip in ranch is the easiest to go down - that is if we can get him to settle down long enough to eat.   This little boy wants to keep going from one thing to the next.  A very busy, and independent bee on our hands.  He sure does love a good playground!  And I think imaginative play will be one of his stronger areas going into his twos.   
We’ve been a decision here to not label anything as terrible twos and whats nice is that with that perspective, we’re not seeing anytihng all that terrible yet.  Thats not to say he isnt a DFK (Deeply Feeling Kid), we’re just expecting it and rolling with it when those big Actingham emotions come.  We’re letting him explore and meltdown and supporting him in that knowing that his tides very quickly break in the other direction and that overall he is a very lovable and affectionate sweet boy.  He’s sleeping well on his own now, napping real good, and communicating well and is an energetic bundle of joy and entertainment in our house even with all the UtOH messes that come with naked time and potty training.   We have a vibrant happy and secure two year old in our house and with closing reflection on the 23rd month, I can also share that I am pretty proud of where Ive come as a Dad, and where we are as a family.   We’ve made it through these complex, trying first 23 months with only a few bumps and bruises to show for it.  We’ve built a family system, and our little lion is thriving in it.
Favorite Food: Cup of Ranch Dippa from BWs or especially Mod Pizza.  
Favorite Song:  Laurie Berkner Band - Moon Moon Moon
Favorite Book: Goodnight Baseball
Favorite Show: Miss Rachel on Youtube
Favorite Toy(s):  Race Cars - He got plenty of new cars and trucks as potty prizes. Lining them all up like trains.
Favorite Word:  Daddy! or Mommy! at the top of his lungs to get your attention, no matter how close you are.
Favorite Favorite: Riding Choo Choo and Trains -> all things trains
Least Favorite: Being touched when he doesn’t want to be touched (independence starting to shine through - really great when stuck in a middle seat on an airplane together!) “William Do It!”
Song: Leah Blevins - First Time Feeling
Quote: “our jobs don’t stop at protecting our children’s physical safety—we are also their emotional caretakers. This is where two other important job duties come in: validation and empathy. Validation is the process of seeing someone else’s emotional experience as real and true, rather than seeing someone else’s emotional experience as something we want to convince them out of or logic them away from. Validation sounds like this: “You’re upset, that’s real, I see that.” ― Becky Kennedy

13, 21, 25 :D
13. How much planning do you do before writing?
This feels like a targeted attack /j
cause the answer is a lot. A lot a lot. And like i have the extreme cases like taking a week to render by hand several maps so I can know how the fantasy nations are divided geopolitically to know how the aristocracy of both countries work just so I have clear in my mind the type of obstacles, hurdles and allies characters would have to be aware about while they also sort out their romance XD
but then thats like the extreme version. The regular planning process of anything I do looks more like a very long google doc document with timeline, character notes and reminders for myself. Often if i have parallel events happening I have a chart detailing both timelines so… yeah even my regular planning before writing is a lot XD
21. Have you ever deleted an entire scene after spending hours laboring over it? If so, why? i have! Many times! Hell i have rewritten entire chapters (keep in mind my chapters are like 5k-10k monstrosities), but we’ll focus on when a scene doesn’t work. Usually I’ll write a scene to its end with a purpose on mind. If im unsure i have accomplished that by the end i tweak it and if it definitively isn’t doing its job I will just rewrite it. Like this often scenes get deleted, but just as often a scene that gets replaced is saved for later. Other times i have scrapped entire scenes cause they were boring even if they technically worked
25. Have you ever upset yourself with your own writing?
Couple times oups. Often when a character is very sad… not because they are sad but I often sprinkle frustration in there so when I’m writing a character being frustrated I end up working myself up oups. Specially when is very relatable frustrations like wishing to not be sad anymore but then being crushingly sad and the characters try to logic their way out of being sad which just frustrates them… and that frustrates me XD

Honestly I dont give a gah damn fuck about that shit cause im not a fucking retard talking out my ass. Im giving facts. Only assholes giving a single fuck about this retarded shit is some dumb white idiot and some stupid asshole arguing. IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE YOU GAH DAMN RETARD. WE ALL COME FROM ONE HUMAN SO YEAH WE ARE RELATED. SO WHOEVER IS FIRST HONESTLY DOESNT MATTER. Thats annoying as shit and retarded as fuck. That will not solve the worlds problems or even modern problems. Won't teach a white person to be less racist or a black person to earn more respect. Tf kind of logic is that. If a white person is a racist its not going to go away. They already understand Israel isn't in America or Europe. Im sure every single white person has seen a world map once. They just dont like ignorance. Im pretty sure everyone doesnt like ignorance. im not going to go on about this cause I find it incredibly stupid and pointless. White people know we come from Adam and Eve so essentially were all brothers and sisters. Do they give a fuck????? NO. The fuck is the point of anything by trying to say "WERE THE ONLY HEBREWS MEH MEH MEH" omg that annoying as fuck and incredibly wrong. End rant.

now i’m thinking of other aus kinda a swap like if darius fell off the monorail instead and went through survival arc…that would probably be caused if ben didn’t end up going on that roof and darius would be in the front. oh my god the guilt ben would feel like. who would take over as leader if darius was gone (not ben at first, maybe yaz or brooklynn but he grows into a useful member) this could def be used to explore ben developing more naturally via driven by regret/guilt of not doing what he could.
the direct aftermath of losing darius would probably be ben panicking and then realizing that this train is going the wrong way and focusing on that instead of the recent loss (kind of like darius redirecting his thought process to keep them alive thats HIS coping mechanism. i think ben would freak out for a longer time but considering how he knows the park/memorized the map and everything he would be the one to realize it) and kenji maybe being the one to bring up that they have to jump.
I feel like the campers would definitely lash out at ben with snide comments like “if you had done something darius wouldn’t have been the one to fall and we wouldn’t have been doomed” the angst bro imagine ben trying to defend his action out of desperation at first “then i would’ve been the one to fall!” (since he already feels a massive amt of guilt and it feels like people are rubbing it in) and someone snapping back “maybe that wouldve been better” and ben just falling silent for the longest time while that person regrets saying it immediately. maybe an apology but ben cuts in like “no they’re right”
but this actually gives ben the motivation he needs to grow. he regrets that he let it get to this point to the point of causing someone to get killed so he tries his best to step out of his comfort zone. when darius comes back (and maybe bumpy still gets lost when they fall so she finds darius. darius bumpy bonding moment) And they actually would find each other earlier (2 weeks maybe?) i think since darius doesn’t rly have any fears to get over/arcs to jumpstart like ben did (he was only not able to get to main street bc of toto) But anyways when he comes back no worse for wear there’s of course celebrations and “Wow is that bumpy??” and ben being a now functional useful member w the role of logic and knowledge of the park still getting out of his comfort zone but definitely changed…yeah i just think it’d be interesting if his development was caused by guilt of causing someone to “die” bc of his lack of action Yup

Lmao imagine dating a singer [Corpse Husband x Reader]
“She literally only sings. Pretty sure she sings in her sleep.”
. . . . .
Warnings: Fluff & Swearing Summary: Where Y/N is singing in the background in one of Corpses streams stream and everyone he’s playing with is just shocked and amazed. Request: Yes A/N: We are back with the excessive/my attempt at being funny/summarizes the fanfiction titles. I was feeling really depressed so I decided to write some more. So I hope you enjoy. Also, my requests are always open, but I like to do work that I enjoy doing. So I apologize if your request never gets done. But, I may keep ideas in my head if I ever get into the writing mood :) FYI: C/N=Channel Name T/N=Twitter Name
. . . . .
Y/N nowhere near being classified as famous. She had a small audience around her on YouTube and Twitter, but that was it. She made music, of course. It was mostly meaningful raps and deep shit, but she grew popularity over doing covers of popular songs. Her most popular covers were ones of Buttercup by Jack Stauber, Chanel by Frank Ocean, Talk To Me by Cavetown, and her most popular was doing a cover of Agoraphobic by her boyfriend, Corpse Husband. 
Y/N met Corpse through her YouTube channel that was known as C/N. He put a simple comment on one of her songs called “Tired Of It” saying he loved it. Corpse later messaged her on Twitter asking her if she maybe wanted to do a collab song, and Y/N was quick to say yes after checking his music out.
They made the song about emotions.. it was about struggling with depression while trying to keep a career up online. They called it “Just A Sad Song” because they had no ideas for a title. Well, it exploded on Y/Ns page and gained her nearly 1mil subs. But she was only popular for a year before keeping a smaller and strong audience. Even if her view count went down, she still came out alive with someone she fell in love with. 
After a couple dates with Corpse, they became official and Y/N moved in with him. Y/N was the best thing to happen to Corpse, and he so happy with her. She brightened his days up, she put a smile on his face. She made him feel loved, she made him feel like a fucking explosion of rainbows and flowers. Corpse wanted to keep the relationship on the downlow, so they never spoke of the relationship anywhere online. 
Corpse was currently streaming with his friends. He was playing with Sykkuno, Logic, Sean, Felix, Poki, Lily, and Jimmy. It was a rather small lobby than usual. Usually they try to have at least nine or ten people playing, but tonight was different. Even so, they were enjoying every second of it. 
“Thank you for the donations guys.” Corpse said into the mic as he walked around the map in Polus. He wasn’t an imposter, and he didn’t feel like doing an tasks at the moment so he just talked with his fans. “Who else is excited for the merch drop? I want it to get to you guys earlier but.. its kinda hard with all that's going on right now.” Then a body was recorded and Lilys pink astronaut was displayed on the screen. “Oop.”
“The body was by the lava pit.” Poki said
“Hm.. I did see Bobby come from there.” Felix said. 
“Hey hey hey I came from there when she was alive, aight?” Logic said, “I did my task there, when I went to walk away she was there. Then I just left, there's nothing sus about that!” 
Corpse did unmute himself when the meeting began, so soon everyone heard Y/N randomly singing in the background with the most angelic voice the world has ever heard.
“I've shattered now, I'm spilling out, upon this linoleum ground. I’m reeling in my brain again before it can get back to you~” 
“Woah what the fuck.” Logic  said
“Oh my god Corpse who was that!” Poki said
“Who is that and why is an angel singing in Corpses house!” Felix suddenly yelled, getting all close and personal with the mic. 
“I have never heard a voice that fuckin’ beautiful before in my life what the fuck.” Sean laughed.
“Did Corpse finally find a girlfriend? I’m hurt.” Sykkuno chuckled. 
“uhhhh” Corpse chuckled awkwardly, “Thats.. my girlfriend.” 
His chat went absolutely insane. 
“WHAT” “Omg our baby is all grown up”  “daddy no 😭” “Im so happy for you corpse!!” “Awwww”  “omg he dating someone-” “godbless 😔✨✨”
“Wait seriously? oh my god” Poki said, and you can hear her smile through the screen. 
“He’s growing up Felix.” Sean did a fake cry, and Felix laughed. 
“How long have you guys been dating?” Felix asked. 
“Uhhh.. A couple months.” Corpse said awkwardly, but he couldn’t help but smile. He was happy they supported him. 
“Awe I thought we were married.” Sykkuno said with a jokingly sad tone, causing more laughter to erupt between them.
“Don’t worry Sykkuno we’re still friends.” Corpse said. 
“Wow you just got friendzoned.” Poki said, and Sykkuno sighed. 
Corpse was now worried. He just told his entire fanbase he had a girlfriend without even giving a heads up to Y/N. Welp, all he had to do was hope there was no hate, and hope Y/N was ok with her title as girlfriend out there on the big screen.

Soulmate September - Day 7
Day 7 - There is a string tied around your pinky that only you can see, the end of it leads to your soulmate.
Pairing(s): Kid AU! Intrulogical
TWs: Remus being Remus [though not overly so, he’s like, 9 here], some swearing
Remus Castillo and Logan Smith were two very different children; former was creative and bursting with chaotic energy, while the latter preferred to be more logical, more stable. One studied hard into the night despite his young years, the other decided that a good time was filling a blender with crayons and silly putty to see what would happen. Both attended different schools, lived a good distance apart, and neither of their families knew the other existed.
What could possibly bring together such opposing forces?
If your answer wasn’t being forcibly dragged kicking and screaming from the local museum by security for tampering with the exhibits and screaming about historical theft, then congratulations; you’re most likely still sane.
How did these very different children meet, you ask? 
The story began on a Friday lunchtime - as all good stories often do - when Sanders Elementary and Faraday Academy For Gifted Children both booked their museum visits for the same time slot. Thankfully, the museum staff speculated that they could indeed handle two classes of fourth graders at once - those poor, unfortunate souls - and decided to start both classes off on either sides of the museum with a little overlap.
Logan entered the foyer with his peers, gazing around at the array of trinkets and treasures adorning the space. Though he hungered for knowledge of all kinds, his heart was set on the cosmos, reaching for a copy of the museum’s map when his hand was blocked by another. He recoiled and turned to face the other; a boy with tanned skin as opposed to his own pasty complexion, with wild green eyes that bore into Logan’s own, and a grin like a shark about to snap Logan’s hand up in it’s jaws.
“I call dibs, four eyes!”
Logan huffed, straightening his glasses, “There are plenty of maps to go around, there is no need for rudeness-”
“Why do you talk like you’ve got a stick up your ass?”, the boy asked with no hint of remorse nor shame, “Just talk like a regular kid, jeez!”
Logan was flabbergasted. No one had ever talked to him like that before. Then again, no one ever really talked to him in general. Perhaps that was why his lonely little brain could only think to stammer out, 
“Who ARE you!?”
The boy roared with laughter, “Wow, thats all you have to say!? And they call ME weird!” , he shot a hand out towards Logan’s, not removing the one touching the map, “I’m Remus! What’s your name, frankenstein?”
Logan huffed, “Logan Smith. And you know,”, he began, puffing his chest out proudly as he yanked the map away, “Frankenstein was the scientist, not the monster, therefore, you’re not insulting me-”
Without hesitation, Remus leant into Logan’s space and licked the map, causing Logan to jolt back and drop it. Picking up his spoils, Remus chuckled manically, “You look smart but you’re super dumb. Frankenstein IS the monster, dumbass, that’s the whole point.”. Without waiting for Logan’s rebuttal, Remus made his way back to his class, leaving Logan to frustratedly grab another map and return to his class, unaware of the string that formed around his pinky…
The tour was everything Logan had hoped for; an informative romp through space and time, enjoying the sights of the planetarium and a walk through a tunnel lined with geodes. And yet, all Logan could think about was that stupid boy who stole HIS map. Hmph! How dare Remus call him stupid! Whatever, at least they would stop soon to have lunch in the Polar Exhibit and he wouldn’t have to think about- 
Oh god dammit.
As they entered the wide circular room, he laid eyes on the boy from before pretending to have gotten his tongue stuck to the giant fake iceberg in the centre of the room. Cheering him on was a gaggle of other children while their teacher seemed more content to just eat his own lunch and try to pretend it wasn’t his problem. Logan huffily stormed over to the nearest empty seat and popped open his Big Hero Six lunchbox, ready to moodily munch his jelly sandwiches when a painfully familiar voice stopped him in his tracks.
“We meet again, professor!”
Great.
“Remus.”, Logan hissed, though he tried to maintain composure, “A pleasure, I’m sure but I must be-”
“- crazy to run away from your soulmate?”, Remus finished, leaving Logan, once again, speechless.
“E-Excuse me!?”
“Check your pinkie, dingus.”
Logan checked and finally noticed the string, and to his horror, the end of it that tied itself around Remus’ pinkie.
“Looks like you’re stuck with me for life! Unless I die, then you’re stuck with my corpse. Oooh! Maybe you can bring me back to life! Really earn that Frankenstein nickname-”
“This HAS to be a mistake!”, Logan squeaked, flustered and shocked by the news, “There’s no way YOU are my soulmate!”
Logan made eye contact with Remus and for a moment the boy looked hurt, but he plastered on a grin and poked Logan in the arm, “Nope! Fate thinks you’re my future husband, so suck it!”
Groaning, Logan let out an exasperated sigh, “Fine, then I suppose you should tell me about yourself, Remus.”. Logan would - for eternity and a day after - deny that the smile Remus gave him made his little heart flutter for the first time.
As the two ate, Remus went into a long tangent about his life and Logan found himself absolutely fascinated. 
Remus Castillo had a twin brother, Roman, who enjoyed Disney movies and being “an overly wordy drama queen”. They had a single father, much like Logan’s own, whose wife had apparently decided she was destined for greater things that didn’t involve unplanned twin boys (Remus’ words, not his). Logan listened as Remus told him all about his family’s culture, having moved from Aguascalientes to Florida a year ago for work related reasons; retelling fond memories of watching the parade of Calaveras along the Avenida Madero with his father and brother each year. Logan found Remus really enjoyed a mixture of colourful and morbid subjects, each tangent sending Remus on a fun winding road down memory lane or through a vague memory of some educational book.
Logan Smith had wanted nothing to do with the boy who’d licked his hand and stolen his map, but as lunch ended and both classes were being called away to their respective classes, he found he didn’t want to be separated from Remus.
Very apparently, Remus didn’t want to either. If they way he was gasping Logan’s arm and hauling him towards the class from Sanders Elementary instead of his own was any indicator. 
“Come on! You can hang with us! Roman won’t mind! And my buddy Remy’s lotsa fun too-”
“Remus Castillo, stop right there.”
Remus indignantly ignored his teacher, plowing through his sentence, “You’ll LOVE my class, they’re all weirdos like us-”
“REMUS!”, barked his teacher, already done with the nine year old terror, “You let that boy go this instant!”
Remus defiantly clung tighter to Logan’s arm, “No!”
“Remus Castillo, you’re to let go NOW.”
“But he’s my soulmate!”, Remus yelled, causing his classmates to chatter excitedly. It made Logan feel a little self conscious, but Remus didn’t seem to care, “Pleeeeease let him come with us!!”
His teacher rubbed his temples as if it could massage the exhaustion away, “That’s nice, but you are NOT going to cause more trouble, soulmate or not!”
By now, even the children and teacher from Logan’s academy were watching the commotion. It came to a head as Remus’ teacher tried to separate the two of them, earning the tiniest war cry from Remus as he stomped on his teacher’s foot and clung fully to Logan like his life depended on it.
“I’M NOT LEAVING WITHOUT HIM! I’LL STAY HERE UNTIL WE’RE A GROSS MUSHY PILE OF SKIN AND BONES IF I HAVE TO!”
With that pleasant image in his brain, Logan decided to perhaps appeal to his own teacher,
“Miss, can Remus perhaps stay with our group so we may avoid further-”
“Absolutely not,”, she turned up her nose at Remus’ display, “Our school has a reputation to uphold, I will not have it sullied by such a rude child.”
Well that backfired. Now both teachers were having to try and separate the two of them. It took two of the museum’s security personnel to finally haul Remus off of Logan, carrying the writhing child as they assured his teacher that they’d put him in the tantrum room. With the way they handled his feral yelling and attempts to grab at any nearby exhibits for something he could use to bash them with, this probably wasn’t their first Rabid Child Rodeo.
Logan watched dejectedly as they hauled his soulmate out of sight while his teacher ordered him to get in line as they continued their tour. He couldn’t focus on any of the various bewitching artifacts that the guide presented to them on their tour of the ancient world though, all he could think about was Remus. Alone. Stuck in some room. Missing out on the exhibits. Missing him.
“....Emile?”, Logan asked the boy standing to his left.
“Yes, Logan?”
“I’m about to do something very, very impulsive.”
“.... Okay?”
“And reckless.”
“...Right-”
“In the name of fate.”
“........”, Emile sighed, “What do you need me to do?”
“Either talk me out of what is likely a terrible decision that will without a doubt go on my permanent record and possibly disappoint my father. Or encourage me so that I may spend time with my soulmate for as long as possible.”
Emile shook his head, “Well, if cartoons have taught me anything, it’s that you’re gonna go for it no matter what I say so...”. He placed a hand on Logan’s shoulder, “Make it good, Logan, I wanna remember the day the untouchable Logan Smith lost his mind.”. With a shared chuckle, Emile let him wind up for whatever he was about to do, while Logan waited for his moment. The tour guide was gesturing to an exhibit of ancient Mayan armour when Logan chose to strike, raising his hand while Emile awaited the fireworks show to come.
“Sir? I have a question.“
“Of course, what is it?”
“Did the museum ask permission to have that armour?”
The guide looked confused while Logan’s teacher looked ready to have an aneurysm.
“I… don’t understand what you mean. Anyway this-”
“I’m merely asking,”, Logan interrupted, ready to keep pushing until he would be  hauled off by security, “because I believe that if it were my culture being mercilessly appropriated and stolen from, I would be rather upset.”
“We’re allowed to have it because it’s for education-”
“But it’s still stealing. And stealing is always wrong, correct?”
“Well, it-”
“It’s a yes or no question, please answer as such-”
-
Remus hadn’t expected company in the tantrum room, but he wasn’t complaining as Logan was marched in, looking positively proud of himself in spite of the way the security guard nearly tossed him inside with obvious frustration. With a bright grin, Remus pat the beanbag next to him, positively writhing with unbridled joy, “Spill! What’d you do?!”.
Logan tried to play stoic and prideful, but the excitement cracked through in his voice, “I merely inquired as to why museums considered their historical thievery to be ethically justified until the tour guide got angry and attempted to ignore me.”. “Sick!! Then what!?”, Remus’ delighted eyes met Logan’s with a similar sparkle of mischief.
Logan chuckled as he admired their string of fate, as people called it, slowly pulling his eyes from it to meet Remus’ again, “I screamed. Loudly. For quite the duration. I must say, I’m rather proud of my own lung capacity.”
Remus rolled his eyes, but there was a fondness in it.
“Naturally, security came to try and calm the situation.”
“And then they brought you here?”
“No, they attempted to calm me down”, Logan snickered, “But, one of them put a hand on my shoulder rather rudely. So I bit them-” “YOU BIT ‘EM!?”, if Logan could bottle the light that radiated from Remus there and then, he would have, his own smile growing while his soulmate’s grin threatened to tear through his cheeks, “Logan, mi alma, you’re insane! I love it!”
“Mi alma?”, Logan queried, his cheeks losing the great blush war as his face radiated a nice rosy crimson.
“Oh, right!”, Remus explained, “It means ‘my soul’, it’s what people call their boyfriends ‘n’ stuff back home. I figured since you’re my soulmate, it makes sense to call you that!”
For a moment, Remus faltered, “Uh…. if you don’t mind I guess? It’s whatever, I’ll stop if you hate it-”
“No, no, I rather appreciate the sentiment,” , Logan awkwardly smiled back at Remus, “Mi alma?”
The wilder of the two threw his head back in a roar laughter, “Man, your pronunciation sucks! And that’s an easy one!“, he teased as he shuffled his beanbag closer to Logan’s and continued with a wild smile, “Looks like I gotta stay with you for sure now and make sure you get it right! You’re stuck with me, Nerdy Wolverine!”
It would be hard work convincing his father to let him move schools to be with Remus, Logan knew that. Despite the fact his father adored love in all forms and regarded the bond of soulmates as sacred, Logan knew it’d logically be a hard sell to ask his father to not only pull him out of an expensive academy, but also to have him possibly move home or make a rather lengthy commute. 
But as Remus’ had met Logan’s, the latter found himself locking fingers with his wild soulmate, banishing that thought while they still had time together. Whether it would work out right away, after a couple of months, or even over the course of a few years, they’d make it work.
“Falsehood,”, Logan smirked, “I believe it’s you that’s stuck with me.”
-----------
Okay, this one’s the cutest thing hands down. I’m so proud of this one! As a tidbit, I had it in mind that their single fathers were Janus for the twins and Patton for Logan.

Kiss it better?
[Jerome Valeska x Reader]
Words: 1,367
Warnings: None?
Requested? Yes / No 
Summary: Jerome always had a penchant for being over dramatic, craving as much attention as possible. Today was no an exception.
A/N~ I decided to make a more light hearted and jesting piece after the somewhat angsty roll I’ve been on with my fics. I’m planning on releasing a few more today hopefully. Please keep the requests coming, so far I’ve gotten mostly Jerome requests which is awesome! Thank you for all the support everyone has been giving me so far!
Tumblr media
⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅∙∘☽༓☾∘∙•⋅⋅⋅•⋅⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅
Your and Jerome had decided to take a day off from your usual scheming, chaos, and overall crime ridden habits. You and Jerome were easily two of the most feared people in Gotham, the pair of you always out causing some kind of trouble in the city with little regard for the people in it. You and Jerome had always believed the city to be filthy, though the two of you wouldn’t have it any other way. With the negligent police department, it made you and Jerome's plans all the more easy to carry out. It was a city shrouded in chaos and the two of you loved it.
Jerome and you could always be found attached at the hip, both of you rarely found separate from one another. You two had been together since you met in Arkham, him initially approaching you in the asylums leisure area, him challenging you to an innocent game of Candyland. He had taken you off guard with the request, no denying that. When people approached you in Arkham, it was rarely a good thing, especially not when you were a girl. It took only one game of childish banter back and forth, you beating him with ease that his mind was made up. You two just fit, your personalities and mania causing both of you to easily get along and bounce off each other. You were both stubborn, a bit childish, hyperactive, and both agents of chaos - it was a match made in hell, well at least for outsiders, to the two of you it was absolute heaven.
You two had been through thick and thin together, always supporting each other through your schemes and criminal activity, often found bouncing plans off one another. Jerome always held a certain liveliness about him, always putting on a performance for anyone who would watch. There was always something going on with him, from the night he died, to the day he returned. Jerome was everything you could imagine in a partner, even his possessiveness over you was amusing. God forbid someone look at you without his permission, more than a few people had ended at the hands of his knife due to his jealous tendencies. He was like a child who didn’t want to share their favorite toy, holding it as close to his chest as possible, pouting if he even thought someone else was trying to take it from him.
Jerome was always a very affectionate person behind closed doors, though you doubted anyone would expect that of him. Jerome gave off a very sadistic and manipulative performance to the public, any pda often being possessive in nature, used to prove a point that you were his. Behind closed doors, it was rare for him to not be seeking your attention, his hands rarely not touching you some way. You supposed it was because of his childhood, often being neglected, abused, mistreated, never getting any sort of attention or affection from the people who should have been trying to give him the world. You boiled it down to the fact that he became dependent and addicted to the feeling of being needed and loved, something you didn’t mind giving to him in the slightest.
Jerome was always the more spontaneous and sporadic of the two of you, rarely ever getting stuff down on paper, instead just winging his general outline of a plan. You on the other hand handled the actual planning out, often looking for maps of areas to get in and out as fast as possible, you were semi logical. Thats precisely what you were doing now in Jerome and yours shared room, sitting at the desk in the far corner drawing out a map of your next heist. You knew it was supposed to be a day off for the two of you, but couldn’t help yourself. This greatly annoyed Jerome, him wanting all your attention to be on him, but today you seemed to be more focused on your mapping than him.
He had persisted all day, pulling your hair, blasting music, overall just pestering you too try and get you to give him some form of attention - none of it worked, you simply humming in response to anything he said to you. It wasn’t until an hour later that he gave up his attempts, opting to instead look over old maps you had drawn out, including the one from the night Theo had killed him. Jerome cursed himself lightly as the paper slid over his finger, a small cut beading with droplets of blood forming on his index finger. He was fed up with being ignored, opting to force you to pay attention to him the best way he could. You were always obsessive with him being out of harms way, that was one of the main reasons you always took to drawing up maps, to keep the heists as safe as possible. Even when he initially got his face back, you made sure he cleaned it everyday to stop any potential infections.
You were brought out of your thoughts as you heard a pained yelp come from down the hall, your instincts kicking in as you pushed your seat back, making your way down the hall to where Jerome's shouting had come from. “J? You alright?” Jerome only smirked to himself as he heard your light pacing come down the hall, your soft voice ringing out through your shared housing. His smirk fell to a fake pained expression as he heard you nearing the room he was in. You raised an eyebrow as you noticed him sitting on the couch, a couple of your previous maps strewn messily around the room. You approached without much though, “Why did you yell?” You looked him over, not noticing any obvious injuries, Jerome always had a extremely high pain tolerance so you assumed something must have happened for him to yelp the way he did. You took in his pained expression, though you noticed the small glint of amusement in his eyes.
You watched as he held his palm towards you, noticing the small red incision on his finger pad, red pooling on his finger. He let out a dramatic sigh, looking away as if the sight sickened him to the core. “I think I’m dying dollface.” You rolled your eyes as he continued his feigned pain, performative as always, his legs strewn about widely, his other hand dramatically layed across his forehead, eyes pinched shut as a deep frown was set on his lips. You raised an eyebrow, arms crossed as you looked at the attractive red head, used to his attention hungry mannerisms. “You done?” He looked out you with feigned hurt, a gasp making its way out of his rosy lips. “I’m hurt doll, don’t you care? I’m dying and you could care less.”
You looked over and shook your head, a small laugh escaping you lips. “J, need I remind you that for a while you were stapling your own face several times a day? I think you’re fine.” Jerome only looked at you with a huff of annoyance, “Yeah, but I just-” You could see he was stuck, unsure of a rebuttal to your comment. Though eventually a smirk made its way to his face, soon being replaced with a pleading frown. “Kiss it better?” You raised an eyebrow and sighed, giving into his pleas. “You want my attention that badly J?” He just smirked at you, an impish grin on his lips. 
You let out a small laugh before nodding, “You’re lucky I love you J.” You knew why he was doing this, it only warmed your heart though, no annoyance to be found with his playful acting. “Come on then.” You turned to head back to your room, only being stopped as Jerome scooped you up in his arms, carrying you bridal style, carrying you with a wide grin towards your room. You rolled yours eyes, but couldn't help the grin that formed on your face. “Thought you were dying J, seems you’re just fine.” He just smiled widely down at you, “Don’t know what you’re referring to dollface.”

self-destruction pt.1
(welcome to a new series! this will be angsty... but thats to be accepted by now...) tags: @idkanameatall warnings: self-hurt, crying, tears. general angst thrown out the window words:4646 next: n/a
-janus wakes up to a voice in his head he hasnt heard since the day he was created. things can only go down hill from there, cant they?-
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old, Will you buy me a house of gold? And when your father turns to stone, Will you take care of me?"
Nothing had been okay for a while. And no one had realised how much it had been affecting a certain side. the split… Virgil leaving… Remus leaving…
And now he was alone. Something he wished he never was. it had hurt to wake up each morning and make breakfast, only to call on Remus to remember that he was gone. he didn’t know how long he cried when the deep green door wasn’t in its place. The three dark sides had promised each other that no one would be left behind… yet… here he was.
Alone, cold and done. The lines on his arms showing the pain that seemed to break over the surface. maybe that’s why it hadn’t been such a surprise when he woke up late one day, a heavy weight draping over him.
He had laid there for a while before standing up to at least make himself look presentable despite the fact no one was there… old habits die hard.
And when he looked into the mirror. He had been surprised. His once shiny brown hair was duller, grey streaks mixed in, making him look like he had aged years over night. even his scales had matched his grey hair, just darker… his eye was still yellow. Just duller.
He stared at his reflection curiously. Reaching up and running his had along his scales. He flinched as he felt how cold they were. Not warm like they used to be. But now ice cold.
Then he froze in place. A small voice. One he had not heard since the day he was created. But it had stuck with him. And it spoke something that sent a shiver down his back.
“I’m sorry self-destruction,”
And just like that…it was gone.
Had that really been what had happened… had his core shifted? Become something new? this… wasn’t like a split. He would have known if there was one present. Anyone would have.
A weak smile grew on his face. he truly had changed. There was no way the others could trust him when he looked even more like a villain.
he looked around his room. Nothing had changed much to his confusion. Everything was still bright yellow and pitch black.
His eyes landed on his hat. He walked over and picked it up. he brought it up to his chest and held it tight. it was a gift. From the one person who hadn’t deliberately left him. The one gift he had ever gotten… and it had been from Romulus.
He placed it back on his vanity. It was time to retire the hat… things were changing. And maybe it was time to start from fresh. Completely.
“just listen to me!” he jumped at the voice that screamed in his head with such agony. this… was Logan’s voice? What?
He felt himself sinking down before he knew what was happening. Drawn like a moth to a flame. His mind reeling from the sudden noise and overwhelming sensation of sadness that had swept over him.
--
When he arrived. he had been rather surprised. He was in Logan’s room. The walls covered in graphs and papers. It was bigger than his room. Almost double.
His eyes landed on a figure hunched over at a desk. The light sound of tears made his heart ache. But… that was it. he didn’t seem to care as much as he used to. Maybe it was the lack of feeling in his chest.
“Logan?” he said. the logical side seemed to tense at the spoken word. “Logan, are you alright?” Janus said as he made his way over, trying to avoid knocking over the several towers of books.
--
Logan took a breath and looked over to where the deceitful side was. he blinked and rubbed his eyes… what the… what had happened?
He wasn’t sure what to focus on really.
His hair, scales, eye or the thin lines on his arms that were scabbed and fading. “Janus… what happened to you?” he said as he stared at the other. “that’s not why I’m here,” Janus stated coldly, sending a shiver up Logan’s spine, “I want to know if you’re alright.”
“I… I am fine Janus, I assure you?” “really then?” he said as his lips twitched up, “so you’re not bothered by the fact the others wont listen to you then?”
Logan froze as he turned back to his computer. “what?” his head snapped over to look at the other.
“you’re being ignored by everyone… and its causing you stress. But instead of facing it, you’re over working yourself,” Janus stated. “why do you care deceit,” he spat back. “one, that’s not my title… two because I care. If Thomas’s logic burned himself out due to over working, things could get bad. That and despite the fact you say you have no emotions; there you were not just five minuets ago crying due to the others not listening and messing up the schedule.”
Logan was at a loss for words. He glared at the snake. “falsehood,” he said as he stood up, “im logic. Emotions don’t matter to me. they only get in the way. if this is an attempt to make me join the dark side, I suggest you leave.” he glared at the other. Anger boiling in his chest.
“go talk to the others,” Janus muttered as he cast his eyes away, “tell them that they are making you work over time. That’s all I want to say.”
The small smile was replaced with a blank stare. And he was gone just as quickly as he had come. leaving a puzzled Logan in place. Wondering one thing. what had he meant by deceit no longer being his title…
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old, Will you buy me a house of gold? And when your father turns to stone, Will you take care of me?"
 Janus sunk to his knees when he arrived back in his room. Silent gasps filled the air as tears poured from his eyes. he thought that maybe Logan would be able to see past all he had done. Think logically about why he was there in the first place.
He guessed wrong. And the words that had fallen out of Logan’s mouth were like knives to his soul. He would be telling the truth when he said that it had taken so much energy not to break down at his words then and there.
Why had it hurt so much? was it because after several weeks of being alone, that was the first thing anyone had said to him? or was it because of his new core… he didn’t know. But he just wanted to stop crying.
 it had taken half an hour before he stopped crying. He moved himself off the floor and onto his bed. he laid sprawled out, weakly holding onto the blanket under him. Burying into the fluff and warmth.
Little to no energy left. The lack of sleep from the previous night getting to him, making it hard to keep his eyes open. soon he caved in, grasping onto the sleep.
--
Logan had been concerned, the more he thought about what Janus had said. and it was slowly getting to him. “Logan? Are you alright?” Patton asked.
Ah. He was just staring at his toast. Had he been so caught up in thought? “after breakfast I would like to talk to you all, if that’s alright. But I will have something to do first,” he sighed, slumping his shoulders. “of course! But may I ask why you’d like to talk to us dear nerd?” roman asked. “it’s about the schedule. With everything that keeps coming up I’m constantly trying to fix it. and at the minuet I don’t know how Thomas is going to get everything done,” “so you need help cutting some things out?” Virgil said as he took a sip from a purple cup. “basically… yes.” “no problem specks,” Virgil said as he shrugged his shoulders.
“anyways, where will you be going?” “ah… I will be visiting Janus later,” roman and Virgil froze at his words. “why?” roman said with a raised eyebrow. “he… was the one to bring up the fact I was burning myself out. I said some harsh things. I also have a question to ask him.”
The other four sides looked between each other with confusion and worry.
 He was outside Janus’s door sooner than he would have liked. But he was okay with that. Patton had sent him away with a box of cookies for the snake. Worried about him as they hadn’t spoken since the Lilly-Patton incident. he unconsciously rubbed his neck.
He sent three sharp knocks on the door. But much to his surprise, the movement had pushed the door open, the deceitful side must not have closed the door properly.
He nudged it open just enough to peek inside. A sharp pain filled his heart as he saw Janus sprawled on the bed that sat in the furthest corner of the room. another thing he realised was just how cold it was. like an icy blanket that covered the entire room.
He entered cautiously, placing the tub of cookies down by Janus’s hat. he looked over to the sleeping side with worry. He had never seen him looking so peaceful. It was kind of worrying truthfully.
He summoned a blanket and draped it over Janus, hoping it would keep him warm for now. he reached into his pocket. A small sorry letter he had written in case Janus wasn’t in. but sleeping was also another reason he hadn’t thought about.
He placed it at the end of the bed. Hoping the other would find it when he woke up. and if he didn’t, that wouldn’t stop him from apologising in person. he knew when he was wrong about something. And he knew he was wrong to say the things he had.
I will make you queen of everything you see, I'll put you on the map, I'll cure you of disease.
He had been surprised when he was slowly waking up. something warm was covering him like the worlds best hug. He would be lying if he said he didn’t pull it further over himself.
But as he slowly woke up, he cracked his eyes open and almost broke. He stared at the blanket that was covering himself only to see the deep blue colour. Logan had been here?
He sat up quickly, scanning his room quickly to see if the side was there. Not to his surprise… he wasn’t there. his alarm clock told him he had been asleep for a while. Lunch rolling around the corner soon.
He pulled the blue blanket over his shoulders and tied the ends like a cape. He forgot how cold he was for a couple seconds.
He looked over to his hat, a small plastic box sitting next to it. a small part of him thought he was asleep. There was no way that a light side would willingly come over… right?
He picked up the container and opened it up. chocolate chip cookies stared back at him. yes… he was definitely still asleep. There was no other way this was happening. Yeah… he would wake up in a couple seconds and he would be alone once again. None of this would be here.
He sighed and reached into the box, pulling out a cookie. a tiny smile formed on his face. he knew Logan couldn’t cook. So, there was a high chance that it was Patton’s or romans cooking.
He placed it back into the box and closed it over. But he held the container in his hands a little longer before placing it down.
Any warmth that had filled him before seemed to dull down as he realised that despite everything. He was still alone. For all he knew they were doing this to keep him away for a while longer…
“why can’t I do anything right!” the voice yelled in his mind. this one he could tell was Patton’s.
He sighed. Today was going to be a long day. He could already tell. he snapped his fingers and changed out of his pyjamas and into something else.
Black dress pants and a yellow button up. his caplet draped over his shoulders. Logan’s blanket still tied around himself like a cape.
And soon he found himself sinking down.
Let's say we up and left this town, And turned our future upside down. We'll make pretend that you and me, Lived ever after happily.
Janus arrived in the light side’s kitchen. Patton stood staring at the wall. he let out a cough, grabbing Patton attention almost immediately. “oh! Hello Jan- “he cut himself off as he looked at the snake with shock, “you…seem to have changed quite a bit there,”
Janus simply rolled his eyes, not as bothered as he felt he should have been by morality’s words. “anyways… I came to ask if you were okay,” he moved himself over to Patton's side.
“I’m… I’m okay kiddo,” Patton said, plastering a fake smile on his face.
Janus returned the smile with a blank look on his face,” that’s a lie. Isn’t it?” he sighed. “I don’t know what you mean?” “you’re bottling it up. you feel like you keep hurting those around you with everything you do,” Janus felt like such a hypocrite, “and you feel like you’re driving them away in the process. Am I wrong?”
Patton felt tears pricking his eyes as he looked at Janus. “what do I do?” he said, “I don’t want to lose them…”
Janus stayed silent. His face scrunched up in thought. His fingers rapped over the counter. “I don’t know truthfully… but maybe you should just confront it head on. Don’t skirt around the issue…” don’t do what I did, that’s what he meant.
Patton looked at him with a sad smile. “would you like to join us for lunch Janus?” he said as he rubbed his eyes, getting rid of the tears that messed with his vision. “as much as I’d love to, I know roman and Virgil wouldn’t want me there,” he said sadly. Patton could feel the small amounts of sadness coming from him. But it was blocked off by something else. As if it was being hidden by something else. Whatever it was, he couldn’t sense it. “well, if you change your mind, you’re welcome to join us.”
Janus gave a weak smile in Patton's direction and turned to leave but froze as he saw who was standing at the door.
Virgil glared at him but he could see the confusion in his eyes. “why are you here deceit,” he growled. “one, that’s not my title any more. And two… Patton simply needed some assistance. I was happy to help,” he said, keeping his eyes of the anxious side.
“excuse me?” Virgil said startled, “what the hell do you mean deceit isn’t your title anymore?” Janus shifted uncomfortably under the gaze of the other. “you can call me self-destruction from now on,” he said coldly, glancing up an connecting his eyes with the purple of Virgil’s.
Neither side knew what to say at what the now self-destruction side had said. This was new. sure, there had been splits… but never a full core change… “Janus…” Patton said as he took a step closer. “don’t,” Janus said, holding a hand up. Patton stopped walking towards Janus. His concern for the side growing even more.
Virgil didn’t know what to do, he just stood there dumbfounded. This was the last thing he had been expecting. Okay sure, he had been startled when he saw Janus’s new look. but this… his title shifting to something new. something like that? he didn’t know what to do. And he didn’t like not knowing things…
“how long,” Virgil said as he stared at the snake. “only this morning… no one else knows,” Janus said.
They shifted uncomfortably for a couple more seconds. “well… if you don’t mind, I think it would be best if I left for now,” Janus said, making his way over to the door Virgil had been blocking.
“no,” the anxious side said, “we don’t know what you can do now. How do we know if you wont effect Thomas,” he said staring at Janus. “please, you didn’t care about me before, why change that now?”
Virgil felt his chest tighten at the words spoken by Janus. “as much as I hate to say it… Virge has a point. With a new title… you will have to learn new things about yourself. And having people around might help,” he said carefully, trying to block out the words Janus had previously spoken.
“just let me go,” he muttered, swaying as he stood as still as possible. “Janus are you- Janus!” Patton yelled as he caught the side who had toppled over.
Janus was unconscious before he heard Patton yell his name.
Virgil was by their sides in seconds. Panic spreading through his veins. “Janus… Janus,” he said as he shook the snake, hoping to wake him up. “he’s like ice!” Patton said as he jerked his hand away from his head.
“get the others and tell them that Janus will be staying with us for a while,” Patton said as he picked Janus up bridal style. Trying his best not to shiver under the coldness of the others skin.
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old, Will you buy me a house of gold? And when your father turns to stone, Will you take care of me?"
Virgil gave a sharp nod before bolting out the room and making his way to the bedroom hallway. the first door he came to was Logan’s. he pounded on the door, hoping it would startle Logan out of his work. he heard shuffling on the other side before his door creaked open. Logan looked at Virgil rather surprised.
“get your ass down stairs,” Virgil said before shooting of to the twins shared room and pounding on the door in a hurry.
The door opened on its own and he flung the door open irritably. “get your asses down stairs, now,” he said as he looked at the twins who seemed startled by his sudden appearance, most likely thinking he was Patton.
But non the less they both stood up and made their way down the stairs after Virgil and a rather confused Logan. the three of them got closer to the living room. The sound of shuffling and Virgil pacing was all they could hear until they reached the room.
Patton was draping a blanket over something on the couch as Virgil moved something, placing a pillow underneath. and as the three of them got closer. They stopped moving.
“Janus,” Logan said before making his way over to the other two sides. he knelt down next to the unconscious side, “what happened?” he asked looking at the moral side. “we don’t know, we were talking and he started to sway before falling unconscious. I managed to catch him before he hit the ground, but he’s so cold. Almost like ice,” Patton muttered.
Logan reached his hand and placed it gently on the sides head. Patton was correct. He was cold as ice. “keep him wrapped up in the blankets,” he said before turning to the twins, “can one of you come with me to Janus’s room? I need to check something out from earlier,” he said as he stood up. “oh, and Virgil. Go into my room and get the medical box from under the bathroom sink. His arms need to be covered,”
Virgil stared at Logan, “what do you mean by that specks,” he whispered. even Remus who was normally loud and yelling, his eyes glazed over at his words, “he said he stopped…” he whispered horrified.
“ill come with you then dear nerd, we shall be back soon,” he said as he sunk out with Logan not too far behind.
I will make you queen of everything you see, I'll put you on the map, I'll cure you of disease.
 Logan and roman appeared in Janus’s room. The first thing roman did was curse under his breath at how cold it was. “no wonder he was so cold specks… his rooms colder than the artic!” “but why…” Logan said as he began to look around.
The room was much smaller than his own. But it was much more cluttered. A wall of trophies Thomas had won sat high and on display. musical posters and photographs hung the walls. a bookshelf sat facing Janus’s bed. Filled to the brim with books on philosophers and snakes.
Then his eyes landed on something. A small leather-bound book that looked far older than anything on the book case. “roman,” he said, causing the side to look up from his position, looking in a small wooden box. he made his way over as Logan removed the book. it didn’t take too long for him to realise what he was holding. “looks like a diary,” he muttered.
What had caught roman was the symbol printed into the front. One he hadn’t seen in on much. but knew all to well. “why does he have Romulus’s diary?” he said to himself, but it didn’t go unheard by the other in the room.
“no… its Janus’s,” he said as he flicked through the pages, “each one was signed of by Janus. Not Romulus- wait look here,” he said.
The hand writing and use of pen had changed from black to a multi coloured one. Red and green ink swirling on the page. he read over what was written.
They re read what was written. Guilt seemed to flood into them as the read it over and over again. had Romulus and Janus been that close that… oh god… a sick feeling laid planted in romans chest. he didn’t know much about the person he had split from. But he knew that Janus had always played a part in his past. He thought that maybe he had been the cause of the split.
Not that Romulus split on purpose in hopes to better balance out the mind scape for everyone’s sake. Maybe… he would discuss his plan with his twin later. “we should keep looking. And if we don’t find anything… we can put it down to his core shifting and messing with his room,” Logan said; he only getting a nod in response.
Ohhhh... And since we know that dreams are dead, And life turns plan’s up on their head, I will plan to be a bum, So I just might become someone.
Janus needed to stop falling asleep. He was going to mess with his sleep schedule. he noticed three things as he began to wake up for the third time that day. one, he was warm. Not Logan’s blanket, just keeping out the cold. This was full on Patton hug level of warmth. second was the smell of cookies that hung in the air. It was comforting to some extent. Only he knew he hadn’t done any cooking in a long time. third was that he was lying on something soft. His bed had always been stiff and hard. This, he was able to melt into like putty.
He didn’t want to move. He was perfectly fine being here for the rest of eternity. but he was curious as to where he was. so despite his body complaining against waking up, he tried his best to crack his eyes open. A bright light filled his vision, causing him to et out a small hiss of pain.
Then noise filled his ears, the sounds of people shouting and moving filled his head as he finally got his eyes open. he didn’t expect to see all the light sides surrounding him.
“Janus! Are you alright?” Patton asked. he didn’t know what to do. His mind ran at several miles an hour, a light panic setting into his chest as he realised how close they were to him.
Virgil seemed to know the look on Janus’s face, “everyone back away, you’re crowding him. He’s already starting to panic,” he said as he shuffled away slightly.
The others followed suit as they realised Janus was indeed internally panicking. they waited a couple minutes before Patton turned to Logan who gave him a quick nod. He stood up and made his way out of the room. “sorry,” Janus muttered as he bowed his head down. “it’s alright Jannie,” Remus said as he smiled at Janus.
He looked around the room once again. Still confused as to why they weren’t being hostile as before… “what happened?” he asked as he looked at them. Virgil shifted uncomfortably, grabbing Janus’s attention, “you fell unconscious after I confronted you in the kitchen. Patton caught you before you hit the ground,” he said, keeping his eyes away from Janus.
The room fell quiet. But it wasn’t bad… it felt calm. “well, should I put a movie on in the mean time?” roman asked everyone. “I have no quarry with that,” Logan said as he adjusted his glasses. “same here princy,” Virgil said. “sure thing bitch,” Remus said punching his twins arm getting a wince in response.
Janus nodded, moving his hand to rub his arm before looking down, realising he wasn’t touching his coarse skin. Once again, he felt himself freeze in place. They had seen them…
Well he was fucked. “Janus- “he looked up from his arms and towards roman. “is there anything you’d like to watch?” Janus didn’t respond, he only looked at roman before casting his eyes back to his wrists.
It was at that moment Patton entered the room with a bowl of soup. He gave it over to the grey scaled side with a smile. “you missed lunch and dinners still a while away, I thought you might get hungry,” he said cheerfully.
He held the bowl staring at it for a couple seconds. The soup seemed to ripple for a couple seconds. And it was then that he realised he had begun to cry. a pair of hands moved the bowl from him and someone wrapped him up in a hug. That only seemed to make him cry harder despite the fact he had clung onto the person.
“I’m sorry,” he hiccupped as tears continued to pour. he tried to stop crying, but the tears continued to pour despite his best efforts. “it’s okay Janus, you’ve been too strong for a long time, its our turn to return the favour,” Virgil whispered into his ear. another several sets of arms wrapped around him to the best of their abilities.
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old, Will you buy me a house of gold? And when your father turns to stone, Will you take care of me?"
Things were far from fine. That was for sure. But in that moment… he knew why he was crying and it wasn’t from sadness or loneliness or the never-ending coldness that laid over his heart that slowly seemed to be filling up with something warm.
The tears were from the overwhelming love he felt the others giving him despite all he had done. the warm looks given his way. he didn’t deserve them. But it felt so nice.
I will make you queen of everything you see, I'll put you on the map, I'll cure you of disease.
He himself was by no means going to be okay for a long time… but this?
This was a start.

Dark Crystal Age of Resistance Tactics liveblog pt 11
The plot splits three-ways but only one way is really an option, to my bafflement.
I have to do a training montage because I’m somehow badly underleveled for this part of the game.
I just really want to beat up a Skeksis, anyone will do.
And Gurjin is the MVP but we all already knew that.
Based on nothing except wanting to see what best boy Kylan is up to, I'm going to tackle the Spriton branch of this branching narrative first.
So I go to the little glowy dot on the map over Sami Thicket annnnd Kylan tells me no, don't go there.
Kylan: "It will be difficult to convince the Spriton to join our cause. They have always been the clan most loyal to the Skeksis."
He tells me to avoid the main village and check villages on the outskirts. Why did you put a shiny dot on the main village at all then!
But what can you do.
Mission: Podling Rush - Spriton Village
"A Spriton village is in trouble. Something has driven the neighboring Podlings mad! Help hold off their attacks."
This better have some fantasy explanation because I'm going to get real pissed if I'm being tricked into breaking a strike or if these are just more Podlings that don't want to be bathed against their will.
Just real pissed.
LEVEL 33???! I don't even have anyone in the 20s yet! Whats the point of branching the plots if I'm going to be level-gated into a specified branch anyway?
Lets see the other Spriton mission...
Mission: Cause of Death - Suns-kissed Plains
"The heroes cross paths with a group of Spriton Gelfling who don't seem too friendly."
LVL 30!? These beefy gelfling better show up and join the resistance! They're way stronger than my guys and I've been actively trying to do a resistance this whole time!
Lets try this logic instead. Alyadon piped up first, about the Sifan. So the Sifan quest chains are probably more level appropriate for me.
So selecting The Sifan Coast and Alyadon exposits that the Sifan have been hard hit by the Darkening and the Skeksis tithes. The elders are loyal to the Skeksis but the rest of the Sifan are prime targets for recruitment. Heck yeah.
Alyadon has a lead on a missing scholar. If we find him, he could prove useful. And Kylan, having marched back from the Spriton realizing I'm not going to be there for a while, has a lead on a missing fishing vessel.
Okay, the two available Sifan missions are level 25. That's more around my level. But I'm going to check the Vapran missions really fast.
... The Vapran mission is level 20.
The game just really wants me to go here first. In fairness, its the only one of the three plot threads that's prominent in the show.
Sigh.
Okay.
Mission: The New All-Maudra - Road to Ha'rar
"The heroes return to Ha'rar and learn of a troublesome shift in power."
Lets go see what Seladon is up to.
I cannot imagine that this easily leads to uniting the Vapran clan with the age of resistance but lets see.
Party: Brea and Breg because they're Vapran so they have stake in whatever is about to happen. Hup because he wanted to be a Paladin before I forced him down a different career path. Annnnnnd Naia. Because I'm reading Shadows of the Dark Crystal and she's on her way to Ha'rar in the part I'm up to.
Oof, the level starts with my party surrounded by a lot of enemy units who all have the high ground. Not great.
Aw dangit, Seladon has issued an order for my arrest. Rude.
Annnnnd I died.
It just went super poorly. They start with seven guys to my four.
Hup died almost instantly.
Guess I'm going to try again. With Rian, Naia, Gurjin, and Kylan. Three beefy fighters and a Kylan.
Nope, still lost. Wound up with three of their guys left BECAUSE THEY START WITH THREE MORE GUYS THAN I HAVE
I REALLY don't want to have to grind at bar fights.
Trying again again with Naia, Rian, Kylan, and Deet. Two beefs, two heals.
And that time I died when they had four guys left =|
Lets try Hup, Naia, Rian, and Deet.
And four left again >=|
So I guess grinding for levels is what its going to have to be then.
Great. Fantastic.
Guess I'll go prove my mettle over and over and over and over and over and over.
---
Did one of the desert encounter proves my mettle. Levels up, woo.
Gurjin learned Pursue (take next turn faster when dealt attack damage), Kylan learned Healing Touch (presumably a stronger heal but you need to be adjacent), Naia learned Heroic Leap (jump to an area and deal AOE damage), and Rian learned Tempered Stone (attack up if hit by critical). I also got a Stone Slicer.
Did an encounter in the swamp. Levelled up Naia and Gurjin with no new moves. Leveled up Rian and learned Hold Position. Got a Javelin and a Soup Spoon. Bought Rian a new, cooler sword to make him feel better about the Dual Glaive being stuck behind all these quests that are too high level for me.
Back to the Podling Tavern.
Wukki leveled up. Woo. Also earned a Shimmering Scale. Giving it to Rian because he's the hero guy. Which means I'm putting the Hunter's Cloak on Naia which means she's rocking two bits of Skeksis garb.
Chamberlain's abandoned speedster encounter grinding mission.
Level ups all around! Naia, Gurjin, and Kylan level up and earn nothing. Rian levels up and learns Tangle Up.
Oops, leveled Rian two more levels in Stone Warden than I needed to. Time to switch him to Mender so he can get Bramble Sage so he can get Strategist. So all that cool gear I just gave him is going to Gurjin. Congrats Gurjin!
So I bought Rian the coolest Mender stuff I could afford. Back to the grind. Gotta get everyone AT LEAST 20.
Back to the desert. Levels up!
Rek'yr learned Aimed Shot, Boggi learned Express Aid (heal an ally after moving four tiles, cool), Hup learned Command (friendly beat takes it next turn immediately), and Breg learned Steal MP.
Back to the swamp. Gosh, I sure love this gameplay rut.
Levels up. Deet learned Guardian's Blessing (can put a rez status on someone), Brea learned Firemoss Bundle (AOE fireball), Hup unlocked Potion Master! But I think I'll try Cook instead. And I found a Sturdy Halberd. I'd put that on Naia but the Cooking Spit gives her some additional HP.
More swamp leveling. Woo, Kylan learned Convalesce. Rek'yr and Deet leveled without learning anything. I found a Potion Stirrer. That's going right on Hup.
Back to the desert. Leveled up Hup, Boggi, and Brea but no new abilities.
Back to the gobbles. Back to leveling up. Boggi learned Get 'Em!, Deet learned Aughra's Ire, Rek'yr learned Thra's Light, Alyadon leveled and learned nothing from it.
Thats been a lot of leveling so might as well see how the Road to Ha'rar will go. And then I'm going to bed because eesh.
---
Mission: The New All-Maudra - Road to Ha'rar
"The heroes return to Ha'rar and learn of a troublesome shift in power."
Deet, Gurjin, Naia, and Hup.
And this works out well. Switching Hup to Cook during my leveling frenzy gave him the ability to sling a mean spoon. A couple levels had Naia and Gurin dealing more damage. Deet died though. But she poisoned everyone before she did.
Hopefully I won't have to go on another leveling journey because it really feels like it slows things down.
Speaking of leveling. Naia learned Double Strike 2, Gurjin learned Taunt 2, Hup learned Tenderize (triple strike a Spiced enemy, yes Cooks spice enemies) and Bitter Recipe (attack a Spiced enemy to inflict Blind and Silence).
So the Vapra quest chain splits here. One to go and beat up the General. One to go free some political prisoners that Seladon imprisoned. But I'm sleep now.
---
I'm wake now.
Me complaining about grinding and the game poorly signposting what to do next doesn't make a good post. I'm still going to try to do all the Vapran missions.
And yet, I'm still going to do some grinding before that because Boggi, Brea, Rek'yr, Alyadon and especially Breg still need to hit 20.
You know, for all he's my lowest level guy, he was MVP in the cave encounter. Moving so much, stabbing so much.
Anyway, Brea leveled and learned nothing as did Breg. Alyadon learned Awaken (basically the raise spell).
Theres another swamp encounter that I'm actually really enjoying. Its against four Arathim devourers but you start on the hill and can kind of snipe at them as they move across the map from you. Breg and Rek'yr are getting good use out of Daring Strike and Aimed Strike because I had time to mark them. But I have to say that Daring Strike just is way too much setup. They have to be poisoned AND marked. It does decent damage but you need to devote three moves to it.
Rek'yr learns Form Up, Breg learns Steal Life (steals life, 35% of the damage done by the attack, this is going right on Breg).
Did the road to Ha'rar but as an encounter mission. Boggi leveled and didn't learn anything. Alyadon leveled and unlocked Adept and Bramble Sage. Also I picked up a Tuned Guitar! Hopefully Song-Tellers use instruments so I can give this to Kylan later.
Cave encounter. Breg leveled up, nothing learned. But I found a Sharpened Dirk! Thats going right on Breg.
Also, the encounter grinding actually net me some pearls so I splurged and got teeth or fur for everyone who didn't already have a trinket and got some better armor for Breg and Rek'yr.
Back to the swamp. Alyadon leveled and learned Aughra's Ire. Oh, right. I turned her into a Bramble Sage so I could get some Firemoss on her to replace the rock throw. But I'm switching her back to mender so I can work on getting the SUPER healing moves.
Now just Breg is still lvl 19. But I'll get him up. Back to the road. Woo. Levels ups. Rian leveled and learned nothing as did Rek'yr. Brea learned Firemoss 2 (firemoss' cooler older brother) and Breg learned Adrenaline.
And I can get back to the plot.
---
Mission: Citadel Sneak -- Citadel Tunnels
"The cruel Skeksis General is in Ha'rar, conscripting Vapran Gelfling. The hereos must sneak into the Citadel to stop him."
This sounds like its going to have a wacky success condition.
Bringing Rian (because I really want to get him through these Mender levels so I can get him to Strategist), Deet (because she's not gotten to do anything recently) and Boggi and Wukki because shouty dogs is definitely who you want to bring on a stealth mission.
Hm, potion bottles on the map that grant you haste if attacked. Neat.
Ok so win condition is to get all four heroes to the exit, nobody can die. I only see two venom spitter arathim on the map. There's probably going to be more jumping in to mess with me. The jerks.
Ok wow thats a lot of spawn-ins.
More and more arathim and even some nurlocs. Thankfully, you can hit a boulder to roll and block the nurlocs way. And even though I was hilariously unprepared, I got through first try. Thanks to the good ol' doggos.
Everyone leveled! Deet and Boggi learned nothing! Rian learned Convalesce and Wukki learned to Munch (attack a marked target 5 times with reduced accuracy)! He also knows Fuzzy Meteor, which is a delightful move name.
---
Mission: General Upheaval -- Citadel Barracks
“The heroes confront the General. They must drive him out of Ha’rar to free the Vapran Clan.”
That’s a great mission name. 10/10, TDC: AOR: T. Top-notch.
Just going to make a guess here, based on nothing. The General mission will get the Vapran to join the resistance. The Seladon mission chain will get her to join the party. Either way, I really want to kick the General's butt.
I see two Paladins, an Adept, and the General. There's some open doors so I just bet that more units will spawn in.
The General has 2000 HP. Has Crushing Blow (probably massive damage to Stunned enemy), Intimidate (inflicts Attack DOwn, Defense Down, and Silence to enemies adjacent to SkekVar when he, I dunno, flexes or something), and Prod (shove and stun). Hopefully he's less annoying than the Chamberlain but thats a low bar. Zing.
Party: Rian (hero), Naia and Gurjin (my good fighters), Brea (this is her home darnit), and Breg (oh right, he's a Vapra too? Huh)
General: "So the heretics have returned!"
Rian: "You aren't taking these Paladins anywhere, drainer!"
General: "Take? The Paladins come freely. They are loyal. Not like that mother of yours."
Geez, General. Low blow.
Brea: "Murderer! You'll pay for killing her!"
So things are going ok. Making some missteps. But when I kill one of the Paladins, another one appears. So, yes. This is another level with new spawns.
Hah, but you can use levers to close the doors so no new spawns can spawn and if you do, SkekVar complains, asking where his minions went.
Well, as usual with fighting Skeksis, it was a bloodbath. He killed all my dudes but Gurjin. He shouldn't have overlooked Gurjin.
Since everyone died nobody leveled but Gurjin and he didn't learn anything new. BUUUUT I did get the Royal Scepter and the General's Hand Axe. And Brea just unilaterally declared the Vapran were joining the Resistance. Seladon is All-Maudra of nothing, I suppose.
In fairness, in this game, there was already a Vapran resistance that Seladon had arrested. So she had already lost the unity of her people by the time I showed up.
The General's Hand Axe is a big boost over the Dredged Axe I had already equipped to Rek'yr. Comes with a lot more stats and a little more slowness. I wish axes didn't slow down turns so much. In any case, this is going right on Rek'yr.
Comes with a quote too, as special weapons sometimes do. "No such thing as an honest skeksis. SkekVar gets the closest, but that's no compliment" - Maudra Fara.
Nice dunk, Fara.
Royal Scepter is the Vapra Clan Staff. Did... did we steal this from Seladon? 30% chance to Wound, 20% MP gain on hit. Feels appropriate to give this to Brea. Or Seladon if I unlock her.
OH, its the iconic crescent moon with crystal shaped staff. Nice.
And since Deet is still using a simple club, I'll give her the Drenchen Legends.
So a frustrating pair of play sessions but I got some good loots in the end.

animals in the entity’s realm are fabricated, they are not real
the entity feeds on strong emotions, killer rage, desperation, hope, affection, etc. killers and survivors feed the entity equally.
the entity doesnt think like we do, entity doesnt see whats going on, it doesnt monitor. anything that gives bloodpoints feeds the entity, or is part of the entity.
the entity is growing in power when it feeds. It uses whats in within its own world to extend its power outside. creates holes in the real world to get new people, uses energy gained to spread.
we dont know if anyone ever escaped, may or may not be possible to escape.
if survivors or killer dont want to participate, they are flushed by the entity and sent do the void where there are nothing but shells or other survivors and killers.
killers can die in the entity’s realm. entity has a more infinite relationship with killers. killers who dont want to participate are willed by the entity by force.
a mori is a gift to the killer, entity allows killers to kill survivors by their own hands.
there is a fog when the entity takes people.
Benedict baker and vigo. benedict is still a survivor, vigo WAS a survivor. ben is someone who in the real world was looking into finding the entity to get into the realm. vigo is a researcher and inventor, he invented magical contraptions, he researched the biology of the entity.
trapper tortured, beat up, and killed people for his father.
alex could be a character they use at some point, alex toolbox is a easteregg. its named after a dev tester.
its possible killers see each other, some are rivals, most are neutral. nurse/wraith is canon.
laurie is oldest timeline as of now. Trapper was not the first killer.
trapper was tortured to become a killer. some killers have some humanity, some dont, injuries come from power given from the entity or corruption or torture.
the entity can sense killer potential. its why it took rin, because she had the potential. the entity was originally there for her father, but during the event the entity changed it’s mind. the potential is like a smell.
phillip: killed for revenge lisa: desperate, very willing to get out of her situation. sally: depressed. entity can corrupt people slowly to get them to cause a tragedy. corrupted sally slowly to get to to do it. rin: rage. taken away before she got revenge.
the entity does not have emotion like humans do. the entity is incomprehensible. it is biological, but thats it.
every trial is a pocket. it has a position within the entity, the entity is huge like a universe. its a world. it’s made of multiple layers. in one layer we have a pocket that is constructed by the entity. houses, building, animals, all made by the entity. they exist in a time continuum. the time in the entity follows a logic and a timeline.
the basement is close to the source to the source of the pocket. there are multiple sources.
the entity is ancient. entity and cthulhu were bffs and made friendship bracelets.
the entity can go into parallel universes as well.
the huntress is during ww1, ch11 is the oldest killer by a long shot.
a survivor with a journal, a watch, and a journal would be able to count time in the realm. there is no day and night in the realm.
the entity can grab happy people because its getting powerful, the entity can come back to places where it has already poked a hole in the world.
whispers is actually the entity whispering.
