The Nameless Successor lasted less than a couple of months. A year may be too generous. By the time we view his memories, he is either dead, or is already succumbing to frenzy. The vestige itself does not hold much information on this Successor's origins; in fact, compared to the others' vestiges, its events progress over a briefer time period. What it does show, however, is a particular quality some may not notice.
His vestige demonstrates not only cowardice, but also a weakness within his mind. When Jack arrives to put him out of his misery, the Nameless Successor folds. He may have awakened as soon as Jack entered the Crypt, and scrambled about until he collapsed to the ground. Perhaps he attempted to intimidate the infamous Hunter. Whatever the case may be, it did not impress the senior Successor, if Jack's reaction is anything to go by.
Bearing the Queen's relics entails a great deal of strength. Many of the Successors we encounter have staved off frenzy for years by sheer force of will. It seems the Nameless Successor could not resist the relic's seductive allure. All those irresistible promises of power were simply too much to ignore.
Every relic sings a wicked temptation into their bearers' minds. Not even the Carrier of the Blood is immune to this magnetic force, if the Bad Ending is anything to go by. The strongest will tends to succumb at some point or another. The higher the Successor's compatibility, the easier it is to endure. However, a great deal of resistance comes from the bearer's own iron will.
You don't fight the Nameless Successor; Jack already has. What you do fight is that Successor's recently-turned Attendant-- the Insatiable Despot. Had we actually fought this particular Successor, the fight would have been quite different. Quicker, even. Would it really have been much of a fight at all?
It takes an exceptional individual to last as a Successor. Not every revenant is capable of bearing that burden... The Nameless Successor is a fine example of this.

Hello!! I just finished playing Perfect Love and OMGGG, I LOVED ITT. The entire plot-line and game concept was extremely unique!! And ouuhhh I loved Milo the most <33. Best boy, really.
Is there anything else you can mention about Milo? Like some sweet fun facts about him that were not mentioned in the game? I'd really like to know him full on out! Otherwise, that's all. Have a good day, afternoon, or night!! :D
Wooo! I'm glad you liked it! It always makes me happy to hear!
I did have a list of things here about Milo, but here are some more.
Pre Milo:
In theory, Milo can have multiple forms, not just Violence and Manipulation. He can be motherly, competitive, preppy, vain, anything so as long as Eris is able to influence them in that way.
In the same vein, Milo is actually a really fast learner, as you can see in the game. He doesn't think he is but under the pressure of wanting to make sure that his love doesn't leave him, he learns and understands remarkably fast.
Milo is deathly afraid of bugs, as seen in the manipulation route. I guess that's what happens when you're forced to eat insects as child. Thanks bullies.
I think I should probably make him shorter but I headcannoned him to be about 6ft. It's literally because I'm really bad with heights so I wanted a good round number.
He really likes rabbits/bunnies as it's his favorite animal. He still has his first bunny stuffed animal that he had as a child and has repaired it several times. He likes large lop bunnies the most but his parents wouldn't let him keep it when he was smaller.
His major is school is kinesiology for the sole reason that I think it would be funny that he's kind of buff under all those clothes. He probably does work out on occasion, but considering how sad he is I don't think he always maintains it.
The backpack he is wearing actually handmade by him. He actually is pretty good at handmade crafts and makes a lot of stuff, however, he usually ends up not finishing them or throwing them away because he ultimately thinks its useless.
If you make anything handmade for him, no matter how bad you think it is, he will keep it. He also would probably add something onto it because he can't help himself.
If given clothing, handmade or bought, he will try to sew something onto it unless you tell him not to.
He is pretty good basic first aid because he always had to patch himself up when he was growing up.
If you access the scene in the code, you'll find that he likes more relaxing games like Stardew Valley, Spiritfarers, Animal Crossing, etc.
When holding hands, he will usually hold Eris by the fingers, not the palms for some reason.
Manipulation Milo:
He's learned he's like rubbing his face on things he likes (not at all influenced by my habit of doing that). Because of that, he likes to rub against Eris's hair a lot.
Pre Milo can actually hold his alcohol pretty well because of his size, but doesn't drink much and gets sleepy pretty fast after drinking. Manipulation Milo has embraced this and now basically can drink a ton without getting wasted. Tends to be a lot more clingy towards Eris the more he drinks.
Manipulation Milo practices speaking like Eris by recording them when he thinks they're not noticing. Practices a lot in the mirror to be as close to them as possible when talking.
Has learned to have a strong appreciation of cats and they come flock to him when nearby. Also has learned how to purr.
When holding Eris's hands, he tends to sweat a lot. Eris, I imagine can't hold his hand for very long without it getting soaked.
He never wears the first earrings that Eris gave him and keeps them preserved somewhere in his room. Always wears copies of it in case it ever gets lost or stolen.
Changed his eating habits to appear more thinner and dainty, to match his new personality and appearance.
Has gotten really good with social games, so much so that in some groups they can't play it anymore because he always wins. Also is surprisingly good at Co-op, especially with Eris.
Violence Milo:
Probably won't admit it, but likes being headpatted. Will come towards Eris and slightly nudge his head towards their hand to indicate they want to be headpatted, but will never ask them.
Eats a lot more now than he did previously. Pre Milo ate more like a bird, but Violence Milo devours his food. Seeing him eat meat is like watching a dog tear apart steak.
Because of this, he's also learned how to cook more meals. Before Milo just cooked to survive, but now Violence Milo makes pretty good meals. Will cook anything Eris asks.
Has gotten more into shooters and fighting games. He actually seems to have really good reaction timing now compared to what he was like before.
When holding Eris's hands, tends to squeeze too hard before loosening it because he gets shy. He's working on not doing that but Eris's hands have been crushed multiple times before.
Really into wolves and big dogs. Really likes german shepards and watching him play with dogs is like night and day because he's so mushy around them .
Probably has a punching bag with Ryan's face on it somewhere in his room. That picture has been replaced over and over again and that punching bag looks like it's on the brink of breaking.
Growls and whimpers in his sleep sometimes. When his back or head is stroked, it turns into a more comfortable and happy growl and he tries to hug whatever is closest to him. If it's mentioned to him by Eris, he'll probably get embarrassed. Being big spooned will also cause his leg to shake for a bit before he ends up sleeping soundly.
I hope I remember a lot of these facts later because I feel like some of this stuff I just made up on the spot.

I have a question
Like Crazy is probably the most queercoded in Jimins songs, right after Filter.
But the song also begins with the pronoun "She's saying Baby come and follow me"
Some fans on Twitter are saying this is a reference to a gf or something.
Whats your take on this?
Hi! Thanks for your ask. Sorry for the delay in replying! And to start, I think it's fairly clear that I don't think Jimin is straight, in my opinion, based off my views. But in that same vein, I think he also likes women. I mean, he has shared previous school crushes on a girl with us. So a "she" in the lyrics of a love song, wouldn't ever really throw me off personally. But that's just me. On top of that, Jimin did share his notes of his lyric writing process for his songs on FACE. And we can see for Like Crazy, his original planned lyrics said "baby" in place of "she." So that probably got changed for a better flow, either he did that himself, or it was suggested to him by RM, Pdogg or one of the other people who helped and gave input to the song. Either way, I don't think it's indicative of a girlfriend or an ex girlfriend in anything factual. But everyone can think what they will and have their own opinions of it for sure.
Tumblr media
Now, for me, honestly there is a lot of queer coding through this whole MV and through subsequent performances/choreo/promotions for this song as well. Lyric breakdown can be found here before we go further:
Music Video:
youtube
And my first post about Like Crazy, where I talk about the song as a whole, what I think it's about AND touch on the queerness of Jimins gender expression throughout the MV:
To expand upon that, the choreo is a huge part of that and this person did a pretty good job breaking that down and sharing their theory over the dance too.
Tumblr media
On top of in the extra content for FACE, similar references get lowkey pointed out in the FACE Playlist video, both in the LC MV and the Playlist video. Which you can watch here
youtube
During the Set Me Free portion, things line up very similarly to Freddie's "I want to break free" video, where he cross dresses. And for those who don't know, he fairly openly queer as an artist. He was involved with both men and women regardless of never openly stating or confirming his sexuality (that I know of). In the video, we also see Jimin looking through vinyls, including Queen and Nirvana. AND in the LC MV set, we see on the wall writing that says "Set Me Free" "Moon" "Wake" among others AND a Queen sticker too.
Tumblr media
I want to break free video:
youtube
He talks and makes references to accepting both sides of himself a lot. It's in his stylistic choices, his art, how he expresses himself. And it's been a repeated theme for AWHILE now and if you aren't seeing it... it's because you don't want to
Tumblr media
To get deeper into it, some of the historic queer imagery and iconography Jimin used in this MV specifically and just in FACE promotions in general... would include Philip Johnson, the architect of the Glass House, openly gay and where the term "the glass closet" was coined from. A photo of his is once again in the FACE Playlist video.
Tumblr media
Robert Mapplethorpe, his portrait on the jeans Jimin wore through the MV and several images in his photobook I believe too. A photographer specializing in male and female nude works, among other things. Including his most controversial work being his documentation of the gay male BDSM subculture scene.
Tumblr media
In the photobook, he is pictured several times in an outfit where he is wearing Jean Paul Gaultier y/series Bodymorph jeans. Specifically he is wearing the "woman" set. The designer Specifically described this series as exploring and playing with the concepts of gender, he liked the idea of there being a mens set, and a womens set and them being able to overlap each other. The bodymorph clothing sets have naked human body prints on them. So!Yoon who recently worked with and is friends with RM (if not friendly with the other members too) also recently wore these in her album release as well. You can interpret him wearing these as you choose of course. I personally think it's speaks fairly clearly to the same things I was talking about above, with him referencing all things gender and how he is leaning into the more typical feminine iconography here with these pants for his softer side of the photoshoot for his album.
Tumblr media
I think looking at the designs for both sets also makes it more clear which ahem, set, Jimin is wearing too. Lol and how some of the models are mixing the sets (including So!Yoon wearing the women's set as well in a diff color)
Tumblr media
And lastly, while it might not have to do with the album directly, it does involve Jimin and is worth mentioning here as it was lowkey part of album promotions. During the first ever performance aired of Like Crazy on the Jimin Fallon show, Jimin worked with 8 backup dancers and one of them was nonbinary and shared their experience and how comfortable, welcoming, non judged and appreciated Jimin and staff made them feel the whole time. How they got to just be who they were the whole time. It speaks the type of environment Jimin cultivates around himself all the time.
Tumblr media
Performance video:
youtube
And during the teaser that was shared of Jimin working on his album with Pdogg and others. They talked about how for 10 months, Jimin basically lived in Pdoggs house. They all just lived together and ate, slept, breathed this album. Lol and in the hallway of Pdogg's house, we see that he has a Stonewall rainbow art piece. Which if that is what that is, is very special to have the education over Stonewall and the support of for that in your home in Korea. I won't speak to it either way, if that is what it is, great. If it's not. I'm just going to enjoy a rainbow in the same shot as Jimin regardless. Lol
Tumblr media
Teaser video:
youtube
At this point, there is deep references to historic queer iconography in so much of Jimins art, it's fair to say we aren't guessing anymore. He is as out as he can be without explicitly saying anything. For me personally at least. And no one is owed an explicit coming out from anyone for any reason. If you listen to what he says, what he sings about, what he photographs, what he dances, what he shares with us? It's all right there too see. So plainly. Queer people have always had to talk and listen between the lines. It's there if you want to see it. And it's fair for queer armys and queer people to react and talk about the continuous use of queer icons and imagery Jimin has used over the years. It's not assuming anything. It's just listening to what he is telling us and sharing.
Thank you for the ask. And thanks to anyone who read the whole thing. 💜

SOFT HOURS imagine big strong boy changbin or chan loading all the grocery bags onto himself at the grocery store or when you get home and they’re just like ‘no i got it dw’ cos they want to show off and also help you out 🥹
they would totally do this and it's so sweet of them. they just want to be your big strong man and let you rely on him for simple stuff like these. very ken coded if you ask me.
it's very gallant and noble of them, sure, in theory.
they are both strong men and they work hard on their bodies, so of course they would carry all the grocery bags themselves because... strength 💪
but it does backfire sometimes. changbin insisted you stay seated while he successfully gets all the groceries in. the problem with settling everything down in the kitchen and being too stubborn to ask for help was that he didn't know where everything went. like, certain things belonged in this and that cupboard, etc... so you had to move things around anyway after he unpacked 💀
and then there was the time when chan, with a beaming smile in his face and veins popping out of his arms as he carried all the groceries to the kitchen, perhaps should've not gotten so much all at once. perhaps he put too much in one bag and the plastic bag gave way and, oops! half of the contents smashed all over the floor.
but, hey, it's the chivalry that matters, right? 😭

Do you have and hcs of how Toby and Ben would act together? - Hoodie
YES SORT OF . u know the drill this is my au and bens story is one that i changed a lot so here we go :9
ok toby younger brother family trauma issues lonely grew up isolated etc. ben only child got killed by neighbor for absurd vr theory now inhabits a virus-ghost-form that he partially shares with several other dead kids.
toby and ben wouldnt have gotten along before ben died. only because ben was just. a 13 yr old boy addicted to video games ... those kids r mean, and toby was heavily bullied in his childhood. the ONLY reason bens not a huge dick anymore is bc his 'form' itself is fucked up (he glitches, he has an electronic vocal fry and occasional stutter from glitches, he has a weird glow to him, sickly drowned boy skin, veins look like those green code lines, red/black eyes, HE'S LITERALLY DRESSED LIKE LINK). bens not exactly insecure about any of this, but he knows damn well he cannot make fun of a tic without toby shooting back 10x harder.
which ok yeah kinda sad that ben has to look weird for him to not be mean but .. . like . . yeah. it is what it is.
they met mmm... maybe when toby was around 21? jeff would be 16, and ben wouldve been 14. SOOO toby doesnt really TRY to befriend ben. he's too old for him and has no interest in being besties w some kid. but he has a job to stop ben from tormenting people online and drawing attention to weird ghost sites and whatnot, so he started talking to all sorts of ai- cleverbot being the main, of course.
of all the proxies, tobys the only one ben likes. tobys a dick, but he has his moments where he's funny and gets distracted during a mission, so he's sat and rambled and bickered with the ai on slow nights. ben immediately knew everything about toby, because he has access to every single file on tobys computer, phone, etc.
ben SCARED THE SHIT out of toby upon their first meeting. he crawled out of tobys janky ass computer one day and toby nearly threw up from being so freaked out. yeah, he's killed people and whatever, BUT GHOSTS R FUCKING SCARY (and he has .trauma with ghosts and hallucinations of them (lyra)). ben already knew exactly who toby worked for, what toby was doing, and thought it was beyond funny. ben was the first being who already knew all the slenderman lore because he spends literally. every. second. on the internet. he is basically the internet. and he watches them, listens through their phones, watches, etc. he doesnt know the details perfectly tho cuz technology gets weird around slednerman/the operator. so toby thought that was helpful, in a sense.
so pretty quickly ben was fond of toby. thought he was like, that cool older brother of your friend. the main issue was the proxies at this time were trying to find and kill jeff because he was infected by the operator and slenderman deemed him 'too far gone.'
ben was actually the one who proposed the whole 'okay. so you want me to stop terrorizing kids online. fair. now ive noticed you keep trying to kill my friend(jeff). stop that and we can be cool :3'.
eventually they all came to some weird agreement where. ben will stop haunting people, the proxies will stop trying to kill jeff, jeff has to stop doing his 'full course' murders, and eventually, ben just likes them enough to start helping them with cctv, police files, etc. it was a complicated agreement that eventually ended in friendship, sort of?
they play video games together. eventually toby does see him as a little brother. it's kinda unsettling because the proxies realize just how much power ben has when it comes to just...... leaking everything. toby thinks that 'ok well, if ben leaks stuff about us, we leak stuff about jeff, and now he has no friends and is lonely, so he can't.' but tim and brian are legitimately freaked out at the thought of their lives being ruined anymore than they already are, so theyre pretty courteous to ben
ben will really just hang around. toby can just be eating breakfast and ben will pop up and ask whats up. he's annoying and clingy, and he can tell toby is biting his tongue half the time. . but toby is grateful sometimes. bens laid back and funny, and toby could use some laughs, so its a decent time for them both
again, overall, toby is just kinda too old for ben(although ben wouldve been a year older than toby if he was alive), but ben is really funny, he's nice to toby, he plays video games with him, he comes and checks in on him randomly. so toby appreciates having a freaky ghost little brother thing hanging around. bens one of his fave people (which is only saying so much when the other people he talks to are like . . jeff)

Per @aroaessidhe: Little Thieves, The Kindred, The Summer of Bitter and Sweet, Gender Queer, (and I think The Bone Season?) have ace or demisexual MCs, not aromantic. also, a lot of the rest are side characters, not main characters.
Thank you, genuinely, so much, for this correction. I'm very sorry for the mistake. I create these guides between work assignments (I work from home, around the clock, trying to make ends meet in this mess of an economy) and didn't do my due diligence in double-checking every book. I think this started as an aro/ace list I was compiling and I tried to separate it into two guides. I apologize for the discrepancy vehemently and will strive to do better in the future. Thank you for catching my error.

“I can’t tell if you’re just stupid or can only get off to dirty old men.” His tone is careless and cruel as he shoves himself deeper into your throat, sneering as he sees tears well up in your eyes from the burn. “Don’t go cryin’ now, you asked for this slut.” With one large palm engulfing the back of your head, he pushes you down on his cock, gagging you with it while he grunts in pleasure. He was more than a little amused by your bold proclamation that you could handle him, all of him. It was fine by him to shove you to your knees out back and work his dick in your mouth, really put the money where your mouth was. “I got a theory,” you can’t pay any attention, not with the way his heavy rod in your mouth was consuming all your thoughts. “You wanna hear it?” He’s speaking casually down at you, watching intently to how you struggle to take him even halfway. “I think you like mouthing off so I’ll fuck your throat,” he circles his free hand around your neck, applying pressure and causing you to panic and try to jerk back, but he only laughs and works his hips deeper. “You like running these pretty lips so I’ll split them open and fuck you full of my cum, isn’t that right?” He loves the cloudiness glazing over your eyes as you suffocate on his cock, the way your cheeks puff up and blood rushes to the surface of your face. He can feel himself slipping deeper as you choke and warble for mercy, tongue forced to caress the veins of his shaft as he fucks your face with a smirk on his own. “How does it feel getting used in an alleyway by this old man? I’ve been workin’ all day, ain’t showered yet either, you like the taste of my cock, cumslut?” You did like it, even as the tears finally fell and you soaked his lower half with more than just your saliva and his own salty pre-cum. He groans at the sight, enthralled with your messy image.
“Keep crying baby, maybe someone will save you?” He laughs, dark eyes filled with pleasure as he feels his balls drawing up tight as they slap against his wrist still locked into place while he chokes you inside and out, your weak attempt to push him away useless. “You’re nothing more than a hole for me to use like this, huh?” His cock jerks in your throat, your eyes rolling back as you feel the first spurt of his cum shoot straight into your belly. “Fuck, that’s it baby, take it all for me,” he moans, grin growing as the back door to the race house opens, and an old gambling buddy stumbles out drunk.
“Shit, you gettin’ head out here Toji?” The man grumbles, clearly jealous as he attempts to get closer, but stops smartly when Toji lets go of the back of your head to hold his hand up.
“Yeah,” his face twisting into a snarl as he looks behind to the man, your eyes blocked by his pelvis sunk as deep into your throat as possible, wiry pubic hair scratching your delicate facial skin. “And you’re about to lose yours if you don’t fuck off.” His tone is clear, eyes betraying his souring mood as he unloads himself into you. The man apparently wished to keep his pathetic life more than get a good look at the scene with you and Toji, running off to wherever as Toji finally slides out of your mouth.
“You good?” He asks a moment later, watching you cough and greedily suck in air, fingers curled tight into his sweats still pulled down to his thighs. He’s petting your hair soothingly while you calm down, lazily watching as you recoup enough to look up at him.
The look on your face and your next words have him hard again in an instant.
“Was that all you got?”

The Boss (Part 2) - Rooster
Pairing: Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw / Fem!Reader
Word Count: 2.4k
This work, all of my works, and my entire blog are 18+ ONLY
MINORS DO NOT INTERACT. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY THIS SHIT
Warnings: Bodyguard AU; Power Imbalance; Not Necessarily Healthy Dynamics; Power Struggle; Implied Age Gap (Still VERY MUCH Legal); Nudity; Reader is a Brat; Bradley Snaps; Suggestive Themes/Implied Sexual Content; Female Reader with No Name or Identifying Description, No Y/N
Summary: You keep testing Rooster's resilience until he snaps.
Part 1 Master List
Tumblr media
Despite your argument and you playing your towel card, Rooster didn’t seem to be backing down from his stance that you would remain at the safe house until the perpetrators were caught. And your attempts to convince your family to take your side didn’t go anywhere. If anything, your attempt to convince your parents to let you out only convinced them that it was better to keep you locked up.
You were reaching the end of your rope. And frankly, you were ready to push Bradley there too for locking you up.
The safe house was beautiful and luxurious, but there were limited windows and the only time that you could get any kind of fresh air on the one protected balcony was with Bradley right next to you, keeping an eye out for any security threats. You hadn’t felt this suffocated and managed since you were a teenager and you were not going to stand for it.
And so began the next stage of your plan.
Sure, you were raised with money and maybe you were just a little bit of a brat, but you had inherited a rather intense cunning nature from your parents. You knew what you wanted and you were not afraid to pull out some cards that were not necessarily appropriate in order to get what you wanted in the end. And so, you did your research.
There were cameras all over the house, which your parents’ personal security monitored regularly. But there were still blind spots. None of the bathrooms and bedrooms had cameras, for obvious privacy concerns. You tested out your theories over the next few days and made a quick mental list of all of the little blind spots in the safe house.
There was one in the kitchen. And there was one out on the balcony.
 “I want to go outside,” you stated, leaning on the wall.
Rooster glanced up from his laptop and nodded. You turned around and started walking over to the balcony entrance as Rooster set up the security protocols. Waiting rather impatiently by the door, you shifted nervously on your feet. Even though you spent the last two weeks testing out the limits of the cameras and you were certain that this would work, you were still nervous.
It was probably a really bad idea, but at least it was your own bad idea. No one forced that idea on you.
Bradley walked over and input the security code to let you out onto the balcony. You stepped out into the sunny and warm air and made your way over to the lounge chair that you moved the day before in order to ‘do some yoga.’ Bradley glanced over at you as you set down your towel before turning to surveil the yard.
Undoing the buttons of your shirt, you glanced over to see Bradley still staring out at the yard, taking his job of security so seriously. Setting your shirt down and shimmying out of your shorts, you leaned down to grab your sunscreen. Applying a layer to your skin, and making sure to put an extra amount on your breasts, which were usually covered in the sun, you eventually turned to Rooster.
“Can you get my back?”
Bradley turned and practically had a heart attack when he spotted you standing there with just a small thong bikini bottom on. You held out the sunscreen bottle to him with an expectant expression. Bradley swore under his breath, a vein starting to pop out on his neck, before he reluctantly walked over. Taking the sunscreen from you, he applied it to your back while sweat started to bead on his forehead.
“Thanks,” you stated, shooting him a wink before laying down to sunbathe.
“Sure,” Rooster grunted out, quick to remove himself from your presence.
He focused on the yard and his security protocols, only glancing over at you occasionally. But one such time, he turned to see you now on your back, your uncovered breasts exposed to the sun and his gaze. Clenching his jaw so tight that he was worried that he’d break a molar, Rooster turned back to the yard, missing your smirk.
And when he glanced over to see you shimmying out of your bottoms, Rooster swore that he was going to combust right then and there. He was starting to worry that those dreams that he kept having of you were never going to end at this rate.
You lounged around for a bit longer before standing up and getting dressed once more. When you were slowly buttoning up your shirt again, Rooster approached you.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Rooster growled out, causing you to pick your head up.
“Sunbathing,” you stated, as if it were obvious. “Why?”
“You know what I’m talking about,” Rooster grunted out, causing you to raise an innocent eyebrow.
“I don’t,” you drawled, running your hand slowly down his chest. Stopping right over his heart, which was hammering out of his chest, you leaned up and closer to his lips. “But maybe you should see the doctor, Bradley. You’re flushed and your heart rate is really elevated. Maybe you’re coming down with something.”
You turned to head back inside, leaving a frustrated Bradley behind you.
“I’m not going to change my security protocols,” Bradley called after you. “Whatever stupid game you think that you’re playing, it’s not going to work.”
“Didn’t you read my file?” you asked, grabbing the door handle. Staring back at Bradley, your expression darkened a smidge. “I always get what I want.”
Ripping the door open, you stalked inside, well aware that Bradley was staring after you with a similarly dark expression.
~~~~~
The next day, you stepped out of your bedroom in a rather short dress that complimented your figure beautifully. The strappy heels that you picked to go along with it clicked on the floor as you headed down to eat breakfast. Bradley was in the kitchen, like you knew he would be, making himself breakfast after his morning workout.
“Why did you get all dressed up?” Bradley asked, frowning when he noticed your outfit. “You’re not going outside this compound.”
“A girl can’t dress up for herself?” you huffed, walking over to the fridge.
You pulled out a yogurt for breakfast and leaned over to grab a spoon. Walking over to the table, you set it down in front of the seat in the kitchen blind spot. You cursed when you ‘accidentally’ dropped your spoon. Bradley glanced up just in time to catch an eyeful of your uncovered ass and a little more than his sanity was willing to take as you bent over to pick it up.
Hearing Bradley’s sharp footsteps, you straightened up as he stalked towards you. Smirking up at him, you stepped back, drawing him further into the blind spot. Bradley, taking the bait, backed you into the corner. He loomed over you and placed his hand against the wall, trapping you in between him and it, with a rather furious expression.
“What?” you questioned innocently, batting your eyelashes.
“You know all the blind spots, don’t you?” he accused, causing you to shrug your shoulders.
“Blind spots? I just like this corner,” you lied straight through your smirk.
“Is this how you always get what you want, huh?” Rooster growled, glaring down at you. “Flash your tits or your ass and suddenly everyone drops everything to get you what you want?”
“No,” you replied honestly. “Most people just do as I ask the first time.”
“Should I feel honored that I’m the first person in your life to tell you, ‘No’?” Bradley scoffed at you. Staring back down at you, he stood taller and defiantly. “It won’t work.”
“It won’t?” you chuckled, amused with his antics. “Why the long showers then, Bradley?” Rooster didn’t respond, though the vein on his neck looked like it was about to burst. “I would tell you to go fuck yourself, but you seem to be doing that all on your own.” Slipping out from between him and the wall, you turned back to him. “Let me know if you need a helping . . . hand.”
“I’m not going to let you out,” Rooster vowed, causing you to smirk again.
“Sure, you won’t,” you replied, picking up your yogurt.
“And whatever seduction game that you think you’re playing, it’s not going to change my mind.”
“And if my seduction game were for some other purpose?” you asked, turning back to him. Taking a spoonful of yogurt and sensually licking it off the spoon, all while maintaining eye contact with Bradley, you grinned. “What then, Bradley?” 
When he didn’t respond, looking more than a little flustered, you walked out of the room and headed back to your bedroom, swaying your hips just a little extra.
~~~~~
Rooster was reaching the end of his rope. First, there was the towel incident. Second, there was the balcony incident. And third, there was the flashing in the kitchen. Hell, he was going stir crazy himself and your antics were really starting to mess with his brain, which seemed to just replay the images of you over and over again. His dreams were even worse.
And he knew that this next fight was going to push him completely over the edge. He was going to snap.
He just got a status update from the other Daggers in the field and relayed the information to your parents, who came to a decision that he knew that you weren’t going to like. And so, here he was, in your bedroom in the late evening, while you lounged around in a short nightie that he knew you put on when you heard him knock on the door.
And the whole game was starting to get really old, really fast.
“Another three months!?” you snapped, glaring into Bradley’s soul. “You’re going to lock me up here for another fucking three months!?”
“Don’t blame me, I’m just the messenger!”
“No, you’re the fucking warden of this hellhole!” you shouted back, pointing an accusatory finger at him.
“The tactical team fucked up, what else do you want me to say!?”
“I want you to say that I can get the fuck out of here!”
“Well, that’s not going to fucking happen! Your parents were the ones who made the call, not me, so stop acting like a fucking brat all the goddamn time,” Rooster snapped back at you, causing you to whirl around with a fire in your eyes. “I’ve had enough!”
“Boo hoo! You could have switched out with one of your teammates weeks ago, but yet you stayed here so that you could fucking rule my life!” you shouted back at Bradley, taking a step towards him. “What? You get a high off of disappointing women, Bradley?”
“Don’t say my name like that,” he warned you, that vein popping off his neck again.
“Like what?” you asked, really pushing your luck, though you didn’t care or even seem to realize the situation that you were putting yourself in. Leaning forward, you pressed your body against Bradley’s and brushed your lips against his neck, right on that vein that always popped up. Trailing up towards the edge of his ear lobe, you breathed out with a sultry edge, “Bradley.”
And that was your most serious miscalculation. One that you were going to pay for.
In a second, Bradley snapped. All of his self-control and professionalism just snapped in a moment. You blinked and suddenly you were on your back on your bed with your hands pinned above your head by Bradley’s much larger hand. His knees were pinned on both sides of your hips, keeping you in place, as he glared down at you.
And for the first time in your little game, Bradley had the upper hand. And you didn’t really mind it, actually, as you subtly closed your thighs together.
“You’re a fucking brat,” he snapped out you, noting how you seemed to squirm a bit underneath him. Though, you didn’t seem interested in kicking him off, since you weren’t fighting his hold. Leaning down to your face, he tried to not smirk when he felt your breath hitch in your throat at his position above you. “And I’ve had enough.”
You laid down, not fighting him, and just staring up at him with a docile look that he hadn’t seen since your last night out of the safe house. Fucking hell, you were making this difficult for him. Keeping a firm hand on your wrists, Bradley stared down at your figure before turning back to your face.
“I’m giving you two options,” Bradley grunted out, shifting above you. “And this is a one-time offer.”
You nodded to show that you understood, concerned with how your voice would come out if you tried to speak in that moment.
“Your first option is that I put in a transfer request. There’s another Dagger on standby to take my place. One who your little tricks will never work on. As soon as I put in the transfer request, we’ll have about twelve hours together before I’ll be gone from your life forever. And then we can both move on from this shitshow like it never happened.”
Bradley stared down at you, trying to place your reaction, though it didn’t seem to change. Maintaining his composure for once around you, he leaned in just a little bit more. His mustache brushed against your cheek, causing your thighs to involuntarily cross, and your breath to catch. His lips pressed against your ear, causing a shiver to run down your spine and your toes to curl.
“And your second option is that you be a good girl for me for once and get on your fucking knees.”
You blinked up at Bradley as he got off of you. Straightening up, he stared at you as you slowly sat up from your spot on the bed. Staring up at Bradley with that mostly docile look in your eye, though the fire seemed to return after Bradley got off of you, you stood up. The two of you locked eyes for a moment, the fire passing between the two of you, as you stepped up to him.
And then you slowly lowered yourself down onto your knees, all while maintaining eye contact with Bradley, and reached up to undo his belt.
A.N. This was supposed to be a one shot, but I had some inspiration and here y'all go! I’m a big fade-to-black in lieu of actual spicy scenes kind of gal and so this is probably as spicy as it’ll get from me. If I get inspiration, I’ll write a Part 3, so if you want to be tagged, reply/reblog with the request and have your age in your bio! Thanks!!

So. Did we ever get an explanation about why the protag was able to accept the queen’s blood without going crazy?
[Spoiler]
They're going crazy at the scene after draining queen's blood, but skip that because I know this is talking about protagonist being successor, What's on my mind is because the protagonist is already stronger than Revenant in general, like what Karen said.
But yes, this makes it even more questionable how strong protagonist actually is because the blood relic itself is already very strong and dangerous, the possibility of getting a frenzy really fast is big, there's a theory that protag actually have more than one relic.
But for the moment I think this is just because the protagonist is stronger than revenants in general, they're literally got stab on their chest twice, 1 in protagonist vestiges cutscenes Karen mentioned that protag heart is damage and able to wake up two days later after that, and the second one being the mercy kill from jack and somehow able to respawn years later(big plot hole I hate it sm)
We never even got actual explanation(?) on how they got the relic, because aurora mentioned that there's something have to do first to get the relics and also "successor selection" being something mentioned canonically in the game (loading screen), and I still believe that protagonist not actually getting the blood relic from draining queen's blood, because if yes does that mean they actually already have special power?
Tumblr media
Only revenants with a high enough compatibility are chosen to become Successors, and even most of them eventually succumb to corruption that transforms their bodies. Thus, a tempered will is also vital for keeping relics under control.

It has always always stood out to me that Silva places Jack into the position of executioner following Operation Queenslayer. We will never quite know the specifics behind the then-newly-implemented Successor Program; we do know, however, that it was hastily thrown together in desperation. If Jack himself volunteered to be the bearer of the Eye, and thus become the Crypt Watcher, it may have been out of guilt. Perhaps Jack hoped to remain isolated, thus preventing himself from bonding with anyone else. But if it was not his decision, if Silva forced him into the role? The implications are... horrifying, to say the least.
The Asclepius vestiges paint a vivid picture of Jack's crumbling mental health. He was very new to the role of Crypt Watcher, as the first vestige demonstrates, and it's likely that he was still in a state of shock from Operation Queenslayer. No other Successors (that we know of) had yet relapsed; as Jack himself states after the last vestige, Valerio was the first to be killed. We see Jack hesitate at the other Successor's side. It is likely that Jack saw not Valerio, but the Protagonist themselves, tucked between the wall and the floor in a slump. And yet, the only choice available to him was the act of mercy -- at the cost of his mind, perhaps his very soul.
We see in the present just how badly it affected him. Valerio's death etched another gaping wound into his sanity. Yes Jack has had no other choice but to push forward. It seems like strength and resilience from a passing perspective. In reality it's nothing but a mask. A farce. No one cared enough to inquire. Nobody was interested in supporting him. Sometimes all you can do is push forward, even when the pain is too much to bear; there isn't anyone else who will help you. Few ever bother to try, if ever.
Do the deaths of the other Successors wound him as deeply? It's difficult to say. It's far more likely that Jack did not allow himself to get close to them. He may have looked them over, sized them up. Inquired about compatibility and perhaps pondered upon the spans between implantation and frenzy. Some of it may have to do with compartmentalization; the more Jack can detach himself from the eventual kill, the easier it is for his mind to bear. It's something he seems to struggle with, and the slaying still clearly affects him.
If this was a role that Silva thought would help... I don't know. All it really seemed to accomplish was to worsen the damage. Or was it closer along the lines of punishment? Perhaps Jack had gone through a period of turmoil and resentment, and had contemplated the possibility of betraying Silva. A role like Crypt Watcher keeps Jack in line, with the Relic of the Eye a crude equivalent to a loaded gun. And if Jack keeps to himself, well, who would be the wiser? Isn't it punishment enough when the uninformed congratulate him for an accomplishment that he himself did not achieve?
In the long run, Jack's role as Crypt Watcher serves to cement his torment. Whether it is truly a self-inflicted punishment or something far darker... we may never know. It burdens and haunts him with every waking breath, and yet Jack keeps the worst of it buried. Only a scant but trusted few are permitted to see that side of him.
When the guilt burgeons beyond his control and rends his very heart... we see exactly how it affects Jack. Though he forces himself to speak about how Valerio's death changed him, too... Jack sounds as if he's on the verge of tearing up. His throat is tight, his voice raw. It guts him to even think about it. We are permitted to see this because of the sheer trust Jack has in the Protagonist. Even then he still forces the rest of it down.
It is the price that Jack has had to pay for all that he's done.

Okay, personal thoughts on dragons rising under the cut. Spoilers ahead!
I didn't care too much about Wildfyre going into part 2. she was cool but not really a character I was fully invested in. That is, until her and Kai went on their little quest/mission to get the dragon energy core. They were so Sweet! I loved how Kai had to be the responsible one and how Wildfyre had to learn how to thikn before she acted. They're a really good dynamic and I their relationship growing during this season felt very natrual and good!
Zane! also not one of my favorite characters. But him speaking to a broom with Pixal's photo taped to it got to me okay? I do wonder now where she is.
Mr. Frohicky (idk how to spell things, i've been up all night. give me a break lol) I did Not expect him to return after the crossroads episode back in part 1. He's actually grown on me a lot. It's still kinda weird bc the tone of this show is just a Bit different than previous Ninjago. But it's not bad and I wouldn't hate seeing more of him in the future
Lloyd. God he got so much character develepment this season but especially in part 2! From him trying to do everything on his own to upkeep the Monastary and then finally excepting help, to getting much better at teaching the new ninja. I really loved all the scenes with him an Arin and how their relationship has gone from Arin being a fanboy, to genuine respect and friendship. 10/10
Speaking of Lloyd. What on Earth was all that stuff he saw Again when he acted as the conduit again? I really hope we get more info on those vision in the next season. That's the one big mystery that they havn't really touched on
last lloyd thing, mayeb it's just the angst lover in me, but I really hope there's some kind of conequence to him acting as the conduit. Maybe it starts really draining him or maybe it just makes accessing his power a little harder. I hope they explain it or at least like, mention it.
I'm actually kinda glad they didn't go the whole route of having Nya distrust the Djinn guy who'se name i can't remember lol. It was a nice expectation subversion. Bc my first thought was that he was gonna be evil/ have heard that *she* was the one who tecnically destroyed Djinnjago. I really like that they helped him the way they did and the lesson it taught Sora
Speaking of Sora. I love her. I still fully belive that her power is creation but if it is just 'tech power' i really like how they're handling it. LIke we all Knew it was never Ryu's power she was using but the moment *she* figured that out still felt genuine and deserved because we saw her go through the process of realizing whta was holding her back. 10/10. no notes
Freaking COLE! So him and Lloyd are tied as my favorite charaters bc yee. But holy shit even tho it was 5 am when i got to his episode and i was exhausted. I sat up on the couch and just lost my shit. One, he's still so good at finding people in trouble/captured and deciding he's their protecter. I love him so much. and two. was it just me or was that whole episode so freaking queer coded it isnt funny? Like, even more so than his true potential episode back in S1.
Shipping aside, I really like how on par with his character his episodes were. Even tho they were short and I really crave more about him, they did a good job of leaving just enough questions to keep us interested while also showing us the important parts. Plys the new ability rock monster thing is cool
in that same vein. what the fuck does 'the earth is screaming' mean? hello that shits terrifying? My theory atm is that its' the realms fighting the merge bc it's like unnatural or something. but idk. i would have liked to hear more about that
Zane's car!!!! I own that set and holy fuck it did not dissapoint! At first i was kinda bummed it didn't do Actual spinjitzu, at least I don't think so. But him spinning wildy and saying 'this is adequate' or whatever, is so freaking funny! also it's super fast and looks epic. no notes lol
and Jay! we see him! I'm not really a big jay fan but I am curious what theyr'e gonna do with him next season
and finally, i Really liked all the references to past seasons/events! Even if it wasn't in your face, it was still really nice to be able to see all the pices of the past sprinkled throughout. It was also funny to see Sora being surprised Lloyd is the FSM's grandson. 10/10
If i think of more I'll make another post lol
god i need to re watch the season already
i have SO many thoughts. HOw am i supposed to go to work later and be an adult while ive got these little plastic ninja running through my head at full speed

Hi fellow doll, I hope you're doing fine. I've been quite busy lately, college and life in general have been kicking my ass, so I was forced to take a step back from social media for a while to try to contain the chaos.
Firstly, I'd like to share a fun fact with you! I don't know if you're aware but did you know that Lou's Mansion has a Pool? You can see it more clearly in the Mansion's Concept Designs/Art on this site:
•https://www.claytonstillwell.com/ugly-dolls#23
Tumblr media
However, the real reason for this ask is to present a possible answer/theory in regards to how the doll-sized phones came to be in the world of your stories (you can tell this is still related to our chat on Wattpad).
Recently, I came across the images you're seeing on Pinterest. They're Wide/Aerial Views of the Institute of Perfection and one thing that immediately stood out to me is that Giant Eye-Catching Dome behind the TV.
I mean what's its purpose, why is it even there to begin with and what's inside of it? I've been thinking about this for a while and would like to hear your thoughts about it as well, if you're willing to share them.
Tumblr media
By any chance, have you seen the movie Wreck-it Ralph? There was a part where the villain enters the code of the game he's in and I think the Dome's purpose could follow a similar, if not equal, vein.
Now that I think about it, Lou and Vanellope's circunstances are almost identical, trapped in the same place for years without the option to leave, simply because of who they are and the traits they were born with, but didn't choose to have.
Sorry, I let my mind run on tangent there for a while, it wanders frequently which makes it hard to keep track of my line of thought.
To circle back to the main topic of discussion, what if the Dome is a Central Station of the Institute, like a Panel or Center for Command Control (or Command Control Center)? CCC for short? Ok, I'll stop trying to be funny...
Tumblr media
Perhaps it could be a subroutine of the factory's software, a program linked to its network and wifi that contains all guidelines and rules that govern the Institute and must be followed and executed to keep it functional - a blueprint if you will - and is in charge of all commands, protocols, activities and operations being compiled and run by its machinery, such as the doll-scanner, the robots, the washing machine, the recycling, the Gauntlet plus the mechanical baby and dog and the Portal, just to name a few.
This means that it'd also take care of overseeing the integrity and performance of said machinery as well as its maintenance. It'd even be responsible for generating clouds and the artificial weather because apparently weather is still a thing, even though the Institute is inside of a factory.
I wonder if this subroutine would be run by an AI or simply an intelligent system/computer program. This world's version of Siri? 🤣
Or maybe I'm greatly exaggerating its function/letting my imagination run wild and it literally only gives Electricity for TV and Institute. Where was I going with this? /were we again?
Morever, it could be a storage unit that contains all collected, analysed and reviewed data regarding the inhabitants of the Institute and their responses, physical or emotional, to certain pre-determined stimuli.
It could also have a list of the factory's Perfection Standards: what consists/constitutes a Perfect Doll / product, its traits...
what can go to the market and which flaws/imperfections can't be ignored/overlooked and have to go to the recycling immediately, kinda like separating fruit/food
To sum up, it's the Institute's "rulebook", but instead of being specifically made for the prototype, it's more expansive and focuses on the Institute as a whole.
Tumblr media
After the events of the movie, dolls with engineer role job created phones with recicled parts dangerous/turned the recycling into a good thing/while recycling was turned of and parts are human sized, plenty to spare and create phone since dolls come back now, have free time to assemble the parts and construct them and connected them to the signals/frequency emitted by the dome or they hack/steal or find out the password/'hijack' the signals🤣, use it to make them connect with each other but can't enter the dome without proper authorizations/permissions
Fun fact #2: Lou animatronic, would be a hipocrite if he called the Uglydolls "Ugly" has never seen a Mirror before
•https://www.indigobluepencil.com/ugly
Scroll almost to the middle (pre-planned concepts: dome by TV and washing machine, Big baby, Lou, Mandy, Tuesday and Kitty, Victoria, Perfection Council/of Dolls=board of investors directors reference)
•https://www.scottfassett.com/uglydolls-gallery
Had to restart Two Times... I hope you found this ask both entertaining and informative. Hopefully it'll give you Inspiration for your stories...
Tumblr media
Okay, I had to do quite a bit of research and asked someone who knows a lot more about computers than I do.
So, I do agree that the dome has an electronic purpose. It really surprises me that STX animated an entire dome within the Institute and literally spoke nothing of it or what's inside of it. Like, seriously, it's huge and can't just be empty on the inside.
My theory, after some research, is that the inside of the dome is essentially a hard drive computer tower. For you younger folk who weren't raised in a 90's home, here's what I'm talking about:
Tumblr media
These things right here used to be what would get hooked up to older Dell/Windows computers. The ones that weighed, like, 50 pounds and took up an entire desk.
Instead of a dvd player (which I didn't get one until maybe 8 years old) I would stick my Kidz Bop cd or movie into that slot at the top and watch the movie on the computer with Video Player.
Count your blessings.
But this is what I believe is inside that dome. These things are what holds the CPU (central processing unit), GPU (graphic processing unit), and stores the memory, data, audio, and everything of the computer.
@natalie-the-writer and I have a running fanon that the company is older. The technology is older, the building is older, and everything is set in a pretty retro time period. So, this hard drive tower is connected to those bulky take-up-all-the-space-on-the-desk-computers.
The GPU in this system is also what control the day/night cycle in the Institute and the weather. It essentially simulates a troposphere and an environment that makes the dolls comfortable and prepared for the Big World.
The CPU is how the data is transferred. Info from the robots is controlled and processed, the Individualization scanners are monitored, the portal is opened and closed, the TV runs, and the holographic tutorials Moxy and her friends see in the beginning are kept on, all of it.
It basically functions as the brain of the Institute, but the sole controller and monitor of it is the CEO (Greyson Everett).
I also like to think that Lou's microchip (another fanon thought between Natalie and I) is also monitored via this hard drive tower. Any information that Lou learns and processes is sent into separate files on the computers back in the company building.
This is why in my Shell-Shock series, when Lou's emotions go south, the Institute begins to get windy when he's hyperventilating or rains when he cries. The ground trembles when he has body tremors and the lights flicker when his powers are used. He is literally connected to the whole Institute because his microchip and its data accidentally grow and manifest themselves into the files of the other Institute functions. His programming basically goes rogue and infects the Institute system like a virus.
I'm veering toward the explanation that results in Lou being the first successful form of Artificial Intelligence. But, for the moment, he is basically acting like a virus and it's not until he learns to control this new system he's connected to that it stops becoming a deadly thing.

My Enderman headcanons
They evolved from humans - their ancestors fled to the End where they were forced to adapt to the harsh environment once stuck there (thanks Ender Dragon)
Due to End being quite waterless, they evolved to absorb moisture from the air. But for such, if there's "too much moisture" (direct contact with water, for example) their cells can't hold that much and explode.
Another notable change is how they see the world - they see in inverted colours to help them navigate in the darkness
Endermen are biologically immortal (cannot die of old age)
They are taller with long arms to better reach the Chorus fruit, their main (and usually only) diet
They are born albino as there is no sunlight in the End
But Ludrii, the Endermen aren't albino when we see them?? Do they change colours while they grow up or what?
Well- yeah, basically. Buckle up, here's where things get funky. I mentioned the Chorus fruit, aye? So, in short, through the consuption of the fruit (which teleports them around randomly, taking them through the higher dimension where Endermites live) they can get infected by the Endermites (pretty much borrowed from Wifies' theory - but I expanded 👁️). Here's a handy illustration with some info bits to which I will get momentarily
Tumblr media
The info bits under the cut (cause I don't want this to hog dashboards lmao)
So, as I've said, all Endermen are born albino little Shy Guys
Thanks to the veins underneath the skin though, they are not pure white, but lean into the pinkish or purplish
Eyes are completely white and slightly glowy
Hereditary dark patches may appear on skin
Tumblr media
As the Endermen begin to eat the Chorus fruit, literally the only food accessible in the End (thanks Ender Dragon for not letting us out) changes begin to appear
The eyes go from white into a warm colour, usually red, orange or yellow. This is completely harmless.
Tumblr media
This next thing that can happen, tho, not so much.
Since the Chorus fruit teleports them a bit each time they eat one, there's a chance they might get.. infected. You see, teleportation happens through a higher dimension of sorts (kinda like using Nether to access distant parts of Overworld quicker), and this dimension just so happens to be the home of Endermites. And those just so happen to be parasites - interdimensional parasites.
For such risk, the eating of Chorus fruit is often regarded as Phase/Stage 0
Stage 0 of what, you may ask? This-
The infection
Stage 1 - Endermite settles in
Tumblr media
Permanent discoloration of the skin and organs, spreading from the chest. It often picks a side to start with to disable one hemisphere of the brain faster and take control over more effectively.
As the brain gets attacked, it causes severe memory problems, weakening of will, emotional dysregulation and later on first signs of "aggravating" via eye contact.
Eyes get affected as well, turning bright green at the start
Ender Pearl begins to form around the Endermite as a defence mechanism. If taken out, it could kill the parasite and stop the infection. It is risky at this stage however, as it could leave remnants. Remnants bad.
Stage 2 - fully infected
Tumblr media
Loss of memory and identity
The stripes (inherited from humans - yes, humans have stripes! They just happen to be "invisible") become fully visible. These stripes are unique for each Enderman, although a common occurance is a star shaped patch on the chest (caused by the Endermite - it is not in the original genetic code of an uninfected Enderman)
Particles start to appear, gray in appearance, akin to smoke clouds
Stage 3 -final
Tumblr media
Endermite's reign is in full power. For such, the Enderman "gains" the Endermite's ability to teleport.
Also, the eyes and particles turn purple
Endermen now get aggravated via eye contact
Now, after all that's been said, it is not impossible to save the Endermen. Ender Pearl is now fully formed, and thus it is safe to rip it out surgically remove it. This will get rid of the Endermite, and while most changes are permanent (colour of eyes and skin, for example, though it may fade with age), the Enderman will have a free will again. At the cost of teleportation, though.
Other bits! - Common mutations (often combined)
Human remnants - physical ears, nose, hair
Tumblr media
New - horns, tusks Human mutations^2 (humans have these too, tho not as often) - heterochromia, tails, fur

ryan ross iceberg (tier 6)
tier 1, tier 2, tier 3, tier 4, tier 5, tier 7, tier 8
bottom of the iceberg:
dangerous blues performance:
this is a video of the young veins playing dangerous blues. ryan’s eyes keep rolling back in his head, so he was likely under the influence of some drug (i saw someone say ecstasy). i don’t feel comfortable linking the video here because this was a rough time in ryan’s life, but if you want to find it, it’s fairly easy.
Q tattoo cult theory:
on the backs of ryan’s arms, he has tattoos of “?” and “Q.”
Tumblr media
the following pictures came out in 2007, leading people to theorize that ryan is in a cult, and that’s what the tattoos refer to.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the tattoos are not related to a cult, but more so spirituality. but we’ll discuss that further in the final tier.
beef with criss angel:
in 2009, ryan went to a criss angel show and had negative things to say about it on his blog (weresoblogging), which you can read here [i].
criss then tweeted this:
Tumblr media
in 2010, ryan also tweeted this about criss:
Tumblr media
adam levine halloween party 2015:
in 2015, ryan and brendon both attended adam levine’s halloween party (this is where ryan was dressed as a gremlin). according to brendon, they talked briefly at the party, and brendon texted ryan afterwards, but ryan didn’t respond [ii]. this is most likely because of all the chelsey catfishing drama discussed in the previous tier. this could also be one of the reasons ryan didn’t attend spencer’s wedding; brendon and spencer were still friends, which brendon says in the same interview (the wedding was not too long after spencer left panic!), so ryan knew he would have to see brendon there. but that’s just mere speculation (and NOT a ryden theory, to be clear).
here’s the video in which brendon talks about it.
youtube
jac and audrey text messages:
after ryan & jac and brendon & audrey broke up, jac and audrey changed their AIM messages to say that ryan and brendon were gay for each other [iii].
Tumblr media Tumblr media
to say the text messages were between jac and audrey is misleading because, if this is referring to what i think it is, it’s actually leaked AIM messages between audrey and another friend. here they are (twiggofviolence is audrey) (color coded to make it more legible):
slamcrashp33n: Hi. How big/small is brendon uries penis.
twiggofviolence: About 4.5 hard
twiggofviolence: I feel bad:for him
slamcrashp33n: Dude me too.
twiggofviolence: Lets not start humilating rumors for him?
slamcrashp33n: Ahhahaha no way dude.
twiggofviolence: I trust u
slamcrashp33n: No. I trust youuuuu
twiggofviolence: he always wanted to have butt sex I think he might be
bisexual
twiggofviolence: I wouldn't let him though
twiggofviolence: That's gnarly
slamcrashp33n: dude fuck yeah. Don't let him do the flipover on you.
Right?
twiggofviolence: Fuck no
slamcrashp33n: Fuck yeah.
twiggofviolence: Him and ryan probably do now
twiggofviolence: I honestly think there's something goin on
slamcrashp33n: Dude I've been calling that shit from the beginniing
slamcrashp33n: No one believes me!
twiggofviolence: Me too whenever I was on tour I'd wake up and they
would be sitting in the lounge together alone at like 7am
slamcrashp33n: That's shady as shit. Did you call him on it back then?
twiggofviolence: Yeah he said there just "best friends" but he'd rather
sleep with ryan in the lounge then me sometimes in his bed
twiggofviolence: Go figure
twiggofviolence: I just thought he couldn't sleep on the bus but now I'm
like wow..
slamcrashp33n: dude I always thought he used you as a cover up.
twiggofviolence: I wouldn't be surpised
twiggofviolence: Honestly haha
slamcrashp33n: Wow that's some traumatizing shit.
slamcrashp33n: Yo do you have a british accent?
twiggofviolence: Haha sucks for him more I'd hate to be fmaous and try
and hide that I'm gay
twiggofviolence: Nah
slamcrashp33n: Dude if he's gay then he should be proud. Wellll all of
his 11 yr old followers wouldn't be fans anymore so I guess I see why he
hies it
slamcrashp33n: Hidesss
twiggofviolence: Haha yeha he's probaly embaressed since all him fans
are so younge they would be confused
slamcrashp33n: They probably wouldn't even know what gay was
twiggofviolence: True
slamcrashp33n: Dude jac didn't answer when I asked her about ryan. Do
you know?
twiggofviolence: Hahaha nope no clue
slamcrashp33n: I bet brendon knows hahhaa
twiggofviolence: Oh duh
slamcrashp33n: Okay I'm off. Thanks for the info.
twiggofviolence: Have fun tell everyone u know
twiggofviolence: Haha
slamcrashp33n: Hhhahah yeah I figured you didn't really care about
humiliating rumors [iii]
i think all it really boils down to is that audrey and jac were bitter exes and since there were already rumors about ryan and brendon, they decided to feed into them in an attempt to ruin their careers or turn their fans against them.
(side note, it always cracks me up that the friend just started the conversation like that LMFAO also the "yo do you have a british accent" out of nowhere)
since this is the last ryden related entry, i will link you to a masterpost i mentioned in tier 1.
and another one:
ryan gosling:
in 2016, brendon was stopped by TMZ at an airport, and the cameraman asked him if “ryan ever got back to him,” referring to an earlier interview where brendon said he wanted to make out with ryan gosling. instead of answering that question, brendon thought he meant ryan ross and started talking about the 2015 halloween party. it’s actually kinda cringey but kinda funny, especially when the cameraman is like “no the makeout.” i can’t.
here's the video:
youtube
giggle sounds:
when shane morris hacked ryan’s twitter (also talked about in the previous tier), he made a lot of tweets about giggles for some reason. he also said ryan’s new album would be titled “giggle sounds” [iv].
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the rock shop:
in 2021, this picture of ryan at a rock shop came out. it was one of the very few pieces of ryan content we got that year.
Tumblr media
daggersinc:
this was the instagram account of one of ryan’s friends who posted content of him sometimes. in fact, he actually posted the rock shop photo. he also posted ryan’s car.
unfortunately, the account has been deleted and no archives exist.
fake facebook:
i’m pretty sure this is referring to when shane morris hacked ryan’s facebook, impersonating him on it. since we talked about that more in depth last time, i’m not going to go super in detail here. but i will leave a link to an archived tumblr post that chronicles some screenshots of the things shane posted and commented.

wentzross:
this refers to the ship between pete wentz and ryan. this ship did not gain nearly as much traction in the early bandom days because ryden was THE ship back then. however, there are plenty of wentzross truthers on twitter these days.
i am not personally a wentzross shipper per se, but we all know that ryan slutted himself out to pete for a record deal at the ripe age of 18. opened his legs and everything. that is how everyone got signed to decaydance in the early 2000s though. take gabe saporta for another example.
(i just threw objectivity and seriousness out the window i’m sorry)
so that is all for this tier and we have officially finished the iceberg itself. up next, we dive into the deeper waters into some of the far more obscure stuff.
tier 7
