i think its weird that arcee is like. a core member of transformers groups now, cuz it makes her stick out like a sore thumb being the token girl when at the time she wasnt exactly supposed to be? she was part of the second generation of characters (even though I know the movie was being made first)

like it seems like modern stuff tries to do this with her

which just shows off how much that design doesnt fit and comes off like it was made to be "i am THE girl. you need no more girls we have made the one girl”

but when she was actually designed to match the movie crew, a bunch of more futuristic (the far off year of 2005) cybertronian vehicle transformers with her rounded shapes and pastel colours and she isnt even the only pink one because hot rod is also pink, albeit a much darker pink

(leaving ultra magnus out cuz he was designed to be a brick holding optimus doesnt count)

the point like yeah shes still the only girl but its less egregious when you look at what she was actually supposed to match. i dont think shes designed perfectly but i think its weird that because shes the most recognizable girl transformer she has to be pulled away from her crew and forced into a group she doesnt share the design philosophy of (let alone for her character its sad like... are those not her friends? she’s not allowed to hang out with her own friends anymore cuz she’s the only girl who’s marketable? sad)

it’s extra weird when you realize there’s this crew who were the original girl transformers shown on screen

they’re not perfect either but I like that they have the same busy more squared off shapes and more strong colours, and I just think if they got added in arcees place you could have a less skewed view gender binary for the robots

there’s also the part where it would be cool to have more than one girl in a group, but again arcee with her iconic leia space buns head fits in aesthetically better with the movie crew

#the tf binge thoughts #maccadam #transformers #I HAVE NOT SEEN EARTHSPARK so if there’s something to that don’t tell me I’m starting soon #I made this after just finishing animated #I found this in my drafts and realized made these edits for nothing if I don’t post them lol #(also the editor was mad cuz they wanted the images)#we’ve just finished wfc and this problem was there too #I also think where I sourced these images toned down just how pastel the movie colours are for that crew #cuz hot rot is bright magenta in the movie they’re Al very light colours

Too Many Tildes' Amazing Isekai Adventure, Chapter 1

(I'm going to regret this.)

My name is Too Many Tildes. I have dark, navy blue plating with white eyes and light blue tildes underneath them (hence my name~) My gamer headset is shaped like cat ears and I wear a fluffy pink feather boa with a very fashionable cyan tank top and night-sky themed pants. My nail extensions are painted red just like my :3 face and my feet are shaped like high heels. This is the start of my story.

It was a cycle like any other. I was admiring my collection of Catboy Pebbles images (A.N. if u dont know who that is get da rubicon outta here!!!!) Suddenly my homosexual overseer alerted me to something funny happening outside. I looked through the feed and saw... A METEOR!!!?????? And it was SHAPED LIKE A TRAIN?!?!??!!? And it was headed STRAIT FOR MY CAN!!!!!1!1!1!111!!1!11! I gasped right before the train struck me, exploding me into one billion pieces!!!11!! The world was going dark around me as my chamber shattered and I fell down. The last thing I remember seeing was flames surrounding my structure and the bright, beautiful sky.

~ ~ ~

"Hey! Listen!"

I groaned and opened my eyes. Omg!!!! I'm alive?!!?!?? I glanced next to me and saw... my overseer????

"Get up, catboi," it said, turning all different colors of the rainbow. I decided to just lay there instead until its feelers tickled my face.

"Hey~ Stop that~" I said, shooing the overseer away with my hand, but it just teleported to the other side of me.

"You can't sleep on the dirt in the middle of the forest," it said firmly. Forest? I sat up and looked around. Sure enough, I was surrounded by trees!!! But I also noticed... MY CLOTHES WERE GONE!!!!!1!!!!1111! I wasnt naked tho, just wearing horrible peasant clothes. BUT I DIDN'T HAVE P[ATNS!! All I had on wad a plain white cloak.

"Where da rubicon am I, oveseer~?" I asked. The overseer rolled its eye at me.

"Rude. I'm Ounce the Overseer. We're in the Iakesi forest," it explained. Iakesi forest? Id literally never heard of such a place. Though the name kinda sounded familiar...

My thoughts were interrupted by the rustling of the bishes. I stood up quicjkly, which was weird considering Id never stood on my legs before. It came so naturally to me for some reason. Three orange lizards emerged from the bushes, grinning at me. I hadnt realized until now how big they actually were.

"Oh shit, yellow lizards!" Ounce shouted and darted onto my shoulder. I thought they were ornage but whetever. They were wiggling their antennae s they approached me, and openned their mouths. Lizards weren't supposed to be this active, were they?

"Tildes you have to run the other way NOW!!!!!" Ounce yelled in my ear. I didn't know what tghe lizards would do to me but I wasn't going to stick around to find out. I turned tail and ran in the other direction. The leaves crunched underfoot and the trees blurred past me as I ran.

"This is just like that hit game PSMD!" Ounce said as I sprinted. I didn't know what the heck it was talkin about.

Suddenly I tripped and went tumbling down a slope I didn't even see. The foliage scraped against me as I flailed around. Then I collided with something metal with a loud BONK followed by an "oof!"

I locked up from my faceplant and saw purple?!??

"Ouch..." said the purple. I scrambled away and saw the purple was ANOTHER ITERATOR!!1!!!!111! I must have crashed into him and knocked him to the ground.

"Omigosh~! I'm sorry~!!! R u ok~???" I said quickly. The other iterator sat up and looked at me. He had funny asymetrical antennae and soft pastel eyes so beautiful I could get lost in them~

"I'm alright, I think..." He brushed some leaves off his rumpled dress. It was a really cute dress, tan with red rose patterning all over it and frills at the end of the sleeves. He was wearing an apron over it, with a cute little bow tied at the back.

"Stop staring," Ounce hissed in my ear. But where else would I look?

"What about you?" He asked. "You crashed right into me. Are you alright?" His voice sounded so soft and concerned.

"Um~! Ya~!! Just fell off a cliff running away from lizards haha~" I stuttered. The iterator gasped.

"Oh! Are you sure you aren't injured or anything?" He stood up and helped me stand as well. I blushed when he took my hand.

"I'm fine~ Just as fine as you~" I said smoothly, winking. One of Ounce's feelers slapped its eyeball. He seemed to freeze for a moment, eyes wide as he stared at me. No doubt flustered by my charming pick-up line.

"O-kay..." he said slowly, letting go of my hand quickly. He bent down and I noticed a woven basket tipped over on the ground. He must have dropped it when I crashed into him. Scattered all around it are... SHROOMS????? Omgosh, had I just bumped into a DRUG DEALER?!?1/!?!?

"Why do u have shrooms~!?" I blurted out. He flinched at my words, but looked up at me with confusion.

"W-what? Oh, I was gathering wild mushrooms. They grow around this time of year," he said, gingerly picking one up and placing it in the basket.

"They aren't drugs, Tildes, they're just mushrooms," Ounce whisper-yelled in my ear. I batted it away from my shoulder because it was being seriously annoying rn.

"Oh no~! I'm sorry I caused u to spill them~ Do u need help~?" I crouched down to help pick up the mushrooms but he quickly shook his head.

"No no, it's fine! It's okay!" He said. "It was an accident. I can get these by myself." Okay, well now I'm left feeling kinda awkward. I tried to think of something to break the tension as he placed the last of the mushrooms back in his basket.

"Hey~ I never got ur name~ I'm Too Many Tildes~" I said. He looked at me a little funny, but I couldn't figure out what he was feeling.

"I'm Nothing Well-Made," he said. "It's... nice to meet you... Too Many Tildes."

"U can just call me Tildes~" I responded.

"And I'm Ounce." the rainbow overseer appeared between us. Nothing startled backwards.

"Gah! A talking overseer?" he exclaimed.

"Uh~ ya~ dont ur overseers ever talk to u~?"

"No!"

"Please calm down," Ounce said gently. Nothing took a moment to compose himself, but he still looked totally freaked out by my talking overseer. "Nothing Well-Made, would you be willing to let Tildes spend the night at your shelter? She's lost, and has nowhere to go."

"Um..." Nothing glanced at me nervously. I was also reminded that UH HOW DID I GET HERE??!?!??? I THOUGHT I DIED TO A METEOR!!!!!!!!1!

"S-sure," he said, distracting me from my thoughts. Nothing beckoned for me to follow. "My cottage is this way."

The forest around us grew darker as we walked, probably from a combination of the oncoming rain clouds and night falling. Ounce stayed perched on my shoulder as Nothing led me through uneven terrain. He glanced behind every so often to make sure I was following. I liked that.

We finally came to a small copse in the woods. In it stood an run-down cottage shelter. It looked dirty, and it was covered in ivy and moss. A small, fenced-in garden was planted next to it, but I couldn't see anything planted in it at the moment. The cottage must have been very old to be in such a haphazard shape. Or maybe, it simply wasn't well-made. (A.N. see what I did there~? :3)

"You live here?" Ounce asked, zipping down next to Nothing. "How does this thing withstand the rain?"

"We put a magic seal on it that prevents the rain from damaging it," Nothing explained. "My boyfriend did most of the work though. He knows more about magic than I do."

I felt my heart sink down into the void sea. Nothing was already taken? Of course he is~ I thought. A cute boykisser like him would have trouble staying single~

Completely oblivious to my heartbreak, Nothing opened the cottage door wide and gestured for me to step inside. I entered with a lot less enthusiasm than I started with when I first met him. The inside of the shelter was small, but cozy. Everything was bathed in warm colors, and potted plants seemed to decorate every surface. A small love seat was positioned in front of an inactive fireplace, and the kitchen was so small that it would struggle to fit two people inside. I didn't see a bedroom anywhere, so I could only assume it was upstairs, seeing as there was a small staircase leading to a second story.

"Woah~ Ur place is so cute~" I said as Nothing followed inside and closed the door.

"Thank you," he responded nervously. "F-feel free to make yourself at home on the sofa. Is there anything I can get for you?"

"You got any water~?" I asked. I was getting pretty thirsty by that point.

"Of course! Ice or no ice?"

"No ice pls~"

Nothing walked into the kitchen to prepare the water as I went to have a seat on the sofa. It was a nice, soft sofa. I wondered how often Nothing and his boyfriend got to cuddle in front of a roaring fire. Must be nice~ I thought.

As I sat, I could hear Nothing and Ounce talking quietly in the kitchen. I couldn't make out anything they were saying though. I wondered if Ounce knew how strange it was for me to suddenly appear here, off my string. Nothing was also off the string, assuming he had one. Odd.

Nothing walked into the living room with two glasses of water and handed one to me. "It's filtered water," he said. He unplugged something from behind his head - some kind of long tube - and put the end of it in his glass. I suddenly realize I had no clue how to drink water.

"It's a water intake tube. You have one too," Ounce whispered to me. I put my hand behind my head and felt around until I brushed over something thicker than a wire. I pulled at it, and the end of the tube came loose. I put it in my glass of water and automatically started drinking, cooling me off.

"So~ Where's ur boyfriend, Nothing~?" I ask innocently. Nothing stiffens, and Ounce glares at me.

"Um," he stutters. "Well, he's not been home for a while. He's-"

Nothing is cut off by a knock on the door!!! OMG IS IT HIS BOYFRIEND!?!?!??!??! Find out next chapter!!1!!111!!1!1!

lucky side braid \o/ look, college was a time when liking pastel girly things wasnt really Cool. i think you have to have grown up during the sweatshirt and jeans era to understand. and long before the influencers started happening this friend of mine was taking pastel femme soft romantic aesthetic and celebrating it, turning it into a world to be cherished, but one that wasn't held back by traditional notions of what a 'girl' is supposed to do or how a girl is supposed to act/think/say. it was transgressive while also being comfortably familiar, and taylor kind of became a part of that: a fantasy where it was possible to actually live inside the romantic upper middle class teenage girl ideal.

i have worked for a decade and whenever my male coworkers get nostalgic its always 'boys' shows, toys, superheroes, robots, etc. never not once have i had someone to sympathize with that yeah the my little pony movie had a transformative impact on my five year old mind. we still need to be able to celebrate this stuff even as silly and inconsequential as the patriarchy likes to paint is as.

#freebooter4ever #then a whole bunch of teenage girls started celebrating it and now it isnt transgressive and somehow #we have gone full circle to the pastel perfect aesthetic being yet another thing girls and women are expected to have artfully mastered #at all moments in their life #truly is there no happy medium between the two? 😅

OMG 4TH EDITION? HELL YEAH! I can't wait for april! i would be lying if i said i wasnt hoping for a chigiri one (which im gonna check for again bc eyes), BUT BACHI HAS MY HEART MAN <3 super excited for the 4th edition!

aside from that, how was your day today? good, bad? if it was bad, i hope i can make a little bit better! idk how, but have another virtual hug! and sakuras! 🌸🌸🌸

just curious, but whos your least favorite blue lock character? i know your favorite is olive man, but least favorite? 👀

i pray that you get rich overnight (like billion because taxes and crap) so you can buy the pink-est (did you see what i did to the text :0 I DIDNT KNOW YOU COULD DO THIS), most PASTEL AND AESTHETIC mansion ever and then just set up an aesthetic room for your writing like please? if you have one show? i would love to see if you have an area thats dedicated to your writing!

i would say more but head empty rn 😭 and since youre on break i dont wanna talk just about your works! theres more to a writer than just their writing afterall. tell me more about yourself if you wanna! i would love to listen read! <3

i hope you have a WONDERFUL day as well as enjoy the weather that may or may not be horrible where you are (hopefully it's good)! byebye!!

- 🌸 anon

I actually did want to write for Chigiri but 3 characters is my limit n if i push it, I tend to get extremely exhausted. fourth edition will be uploaded on my ao3 account (link attached to my pinned post) noa is one of my fav - poor baby has a tragic backstory that it makes me wanna cry, he worked so hard to get here n i'm so proud of him because of it Now that i think about it... Barou was supposed to be in the list for your words, my hurt too (might make a 5th edition or something cause of this)

My day has been good so far ; I finished reading 'my in laws are obsessed with me' the webtoon n i'm reading a new manga ... *sending a hug back* you’re so sweet! *sending you a bouquet* 💐

Olive man 😭 that’s a good one 🥹😂

Least favorite? Easy. Everyone in blue lock since they’re stupidly high egoists. But the ones I don’t like are - Itoshi brothers n Kaiser cause of their over the top god / superiority / king complex. I can still tolerate them in comparison to these two (don’t like the most) : Adam Blake n Chris Prince. Adam wants to have sex with women in kimonos (my attraction towards him died along with this) n Chris needs to be less of a camera whore

Aw, you’re so sweet mon ange <3 it’s good to know there’s another pink fanatic out there o^^o

Pinkest n most aesthetic mansion where my followers, moots n I will stay (yes I just picked up the grand Budapest hotel … think about it -it’s a safe haven for introverts n there are a lot of mountains as well as a little far from the city) my aesthetic writing room is the library - I’ve always wanted a library that the beast gave Belle in beauty and the beast 🥹

Hm… about myself - idk what to say, but there’s an about me page under “Isabelle” on my pinned post :x apart from that,

I listen to a lot of Lana del ray’s music, my aesthetics are conquette, princesscore n angelcore. I don’t have a particularly fav manga, anime or movie cause there are too many to name, I like spicy food n tiramisu. Hbu? <3

Weather is alright - feeling a lil sleepy (•_•) 💤

Hope you’re having a good day / evening / night 🤍

10 Anti LO Asks

1. I'm not gonna deny that Minthe would be abusive irl, but I think I've figured out why she doesn't feel so to me in LO. Obviously because she's not the only person to slap someone and yet is the only person whose slap isn't played for laughs. But also because of how cheap the drama is in LO ("what's so bad about the slap, people do that all the time in soap operas") and because of the standard for violence being high (Hades carved someone's eye out once and we're pitying him for getting slapped).

2. idk why people say Persephone being nice/kind is bad characterization. That's arguably the only accurate part of LO in terms of myth. the real issue to me is RS and her fans seem to think Persephone has to reject those traits (as well as her nature ways) to instead be a violent, cold hearted capitalist like Hades and co. to be "mature". She was the kind one in the couple! Whats wrong with her staying kind despite all the hardships she's suffered? Why must she become cruel to be taken seriously?

3. homer would hate literally every modern greek myth retelling but LO especially. ya boy adored demeter and would despise what RS did to her story for the sake of a weird DDLG version of a respected couple.

4. That one anon is right, it does seem like RS has lost her passion. No wonder! This story began as a cutesy (well, for some), romance-focused retelling of one myth, and it's clear that that's what RS wants to make, but now she's dug herself deep into those weird convoluted plots that she can't even resolve properly. I'd get sick of writing this too.

5. other anon is right. most of the LO men are boring but ares has no reason being so goddam ugly. why would you do this to him, rachel!!

6. werent most of the ancient greek writers and poets huge misogynists and xenophobes towards any non greeks? they wouldnt just hate LO for what a mockery its made fo their culture and story. theyd hate rachel too for being a non-greek woman. yall cannot claim rachel is better than the poets for "improving" the mythology then claim theyd adore her despite their ancient, regressive ideals. cmon guys, be real here.

7. ok but if rs is seriously lost passion for the project then why wasnt it wrapped up years ago? why not take a month off and work out an ending sooner than later? like if shes seriously so sick of it by now, then why drag everything out and keep adding more plots that will take months/years to get to? other webtoon creators also had popular series like her but ended them when they wanted to & are now making new series. not to be rude, but theres no one to blame for here but herself.

8. you know i would have thought hades using artemis to excuse persephone's actions would have been a perfect chance for persephone to stick up for her and to show for ONCE a female relationship actual meant something in LO, but no, Persephone just sat there and let her supposed "friend" be used to excuse her mass murder. I know people are speculating Artemis will be the next "twist" villain and considering how Persephone is already being shown as not her friend by this point im inclined to agree.

9. im not against the flower nymphs being pink but like ... cant they have different shades of pink at least? like make some dark magenta and some pastel, why do they have to be the EXACT same shade as persephone? how can the comic claim shes the most unique, powerful goddess ever even theres thousands of women who look exactly like her and her powers arent actually that unique?

10. idk to me wouldnt persephone being like 500 makes more sense to why she wants to be independent and free from demeter's house make more sense than a 19 year old? because as it stands persephone just seems like a selfish brat who doesnt care what her mother had to suffer and sacrifice for her, only for everything bad demeter was trying to save her from happening all within two weeks of her being away from home. im not excusing lo demeter's actions but shes the only character who is proven right.

A WEEK and a half ago i was experimenting with watercolours (aka actually using watercolour paper like ur supposed to instead of just cramming as many washes as my mixed media sketchbook paper can handle and then some like i usually do) so i drew this quick lil thing of some oc and slathered it in FAR too many layers without waiting for it to dry BUT its okay it still looks not bad BUT THEN i decided to put a hint of chalk pastel on it for Texture(tm) and i really liked the way it looked BUT THEN i realized my phone camera couldnt capture the colours so I had to use my scanner BUT i didnt wanna get pastel dust all over my scanner so i spent a week trying to figure out how to digitally capture this one tiny little painting i did in like an hour UNTIL i remembered i had some soft pastel fixative spray BUT 1) ive never tested it on watercolour so i didnt know if it would mess with it and 2) it was like minus ten bajillion celcius and i wasnt sure if the cold would mess with it SO i tested it out on a scrap piece of paper with watercolour paint and pastel on it and it WORKED but then i forgot to spray the actual painting for a few days until TODAY when it was like minus TWENTY bajillion degrees so i had to fucking suit up in my coat and mittens and RUN outside to spray the painting really quick, leave it on the ground, put the spray can back inside so it doesnt freeze, run BACK outside to grab the painting before the wind takes it away, wave it around for a minute to dissipate the fumes, bring it back inside, wait for it to dry for an hour AND THEN finally...................i could put it. in my scanner

#art #traditional art #watercolour #soft pastel #ocs #oc art #its this one oc ive posted around before. i keep changing his name and profession and everything about him except his design #his personality is also consistent. he is some guy. rn his current incarnation works at a laser tag place #anyway the moral of the story is krylon workable fixative works surprisingly well on week old watercolor paintings in -20 degrees celcius #not a single speck of pastel on my scanner! hdkjflsjgdkfsd #also the result of my experiments is that i really gotta practice making saturated washes cause it took SO many layers to get that red #the watercolour paper started buckling even more than my sketchbook paper because i did so many and kept overestimating how fast it dries #(turns out actual watercolor paper makes watercolours dry way slower which i think is a good thing technically except im impatient as FUCK)#might also be my watercolours. i really like my koi set but its student grade and meant for sketching #so you do kinda gotta work for those BRIGHT colors #ive thought about moving to professional sets but 1) holy shit. the price differences between professional and student grade watercolour is #a lot #and also looking up watercolour paint is the art equivalent of ten thousand terashits per gigafart #granulation fugitive pigment transparency p-2903482394 red lake cerulean #luckily i do actually know whats going on because i really like researching pigments #but MAN it can be a lot even for me sometimes jhkfsljlkfdskfdf #for now i'll just practice more and see how far i can push the koi watercolors before i look into that more lol

Chaos Rising (Pt.1)

-------------------------

It was all a perfectly normal morning, no weird mishaps or anything. Well, there were mishaps, but Virgil was used to those at this point, after all, he considered himself the worlds biggest mishap, where else did he have to go from there?

Rain wasnt the issue, no, Virgil was used to rain, used to dragging his boots through puddles and tripping over his own feet, that was normal.

And it wasnt the behavior of the local strays either, cats usually gave him weird looks, and dogs were usually to busy seeking out children for head pats to notice him, so no, that wasnt it either.

Even work didnt seem to tip him off, uncomfortable conversations with his boss, bickering between offices, that was all normal, nothing weird there.

No, what finally made it clear that something had gone very much wrong, was the appearance of two very strange men in his home.

Both were tall, and both had brown hair. But one boy was dressed in shades of yellow, with a black jacket over a pastel yellow sweater, jeans, black boots, and a black cap, and he looked calm and in control. Whereas the second man had wild unkempt hair with a stark white streak down the center of it, crazed red eyes, and was dressed in tattered black and green rags.

Now, normally Virgil would have assumed he was being robbed by the worlds most contrasting crime agency, but there were two things that set him off this path fairly quickly.

One, the man in yellow had scales, and a slit on the side of his face, just across his mouth.

Two, the man in green had horns, and a tail that looked as if it belonged to a rat, and, was likely the cleanest thing about the man.

"And what the hell do you think you're doing?" Virgil made a grab for the knife he'd set on the dining room table that morning, he supposed it was lucky he'd forgotten to put it up after breakfast.

"Oh please- as if that measly hunk of metal and wood is going to do anything against two demons," said the man in yellow. Virgil felt a sudden urge to set the knife back down. He shook his head, as if he wanted any actual demons meddling in there with everything else.

"I mean it's not like he could fight us even if it did do something, I've seen rats bigger than he is!" Said the man in green with a cackle.

"I could skin you alive and use your organs as a designer scarf." Virgil snarled, tightening his grip on the knife as the thoughts of putting it down continued trying to overpower him.

"Aaawwww! You hear that Janny! I could be a scarf!" The man in greed let out a laugh and smiled at his partner.

"As if anyone would wear your organs as a scarf, they probably smell like rotting corpses," said the man nicknamed 'Janny'.

"Aaawww, dont be mean," the man in green pouted, playfully shoving Jan's arm.

"Are you gonna explain what you're doing here or am I going to have to chase you out myself." Virgil snarled.

"Ooohhh! Someone's getting his tits in a twist!" The man in green said, Virgil's arms went almost instinctively to cover his chest, the knife falling out of his hand in the process.

"Remus, what did we say about human-gender terminology." Said Jan. Virgil made a grab for the knife while the two were distracted, only to find it gone.

"Not to use it unless I know they dont care," Remus said, looking guilty.

"Normally, I dont, but, I make exceptions for strange men barging into my house and stealing my defense weapons," Virgil snarled, glaring at Janus, who he now noticed was holding the knife that had been in Virgil's possession only a few moments prior.

"Well we'll be out of your hair in just a pinch, just have to ask you a few questions first!" Remus said with a demented grin.

And then Virgil couldnt move. He was walking over to his couch, but he couldnt do it on his own.

"Now, as you can likely tell, we are not mortals," Janus said, sitting on the table across from the couch.

"Really? I had no clue! You look so realistic." Virgil snarled, trying to move his hands from their death grip on his couch.

"Hes a funny one isnt he?" Remus said with a snort. Janus rolled his eyes.

"Look, in case you havent noticed, and it's very doubtful you have otherwise there'd be no use in telling you this, your world is being overtaken, by demons," Janus continued.

Virgil stared at him for a few moments, and then he began to laugh, finally able to move his body and fall back onto the couch cushions. Janus and Remus exchanged now much more concerned glances.

"You- know we arent kidding, right?" Janus said, a look of pure bewilderment crossing his face.

"Oh of course not! If you were kidding I probably wouldve paid off my student loans and I wouldn't be living in a house thats constantly on the verge of collapse!" Virgil said, still laughing so hard he was nearly out of breath. This statement only seemed to intensify the worry on the demons' faces.

"What do you mean collapse? Surely you're not living in a faulty building?" Janus said.

"Oh dont get all sympathetic on me now. Like hell I'm gonna let you in on my tragic backstory so it's easier for you to impersonate me." Virgil said, suddenly regaining his composure.

"Oh I'm not going to impersonate you, I'm actually more inclined to keep you from being impersonated," Janus said.

"You- wh?" It was Virgil's turn to pull a confused face now.

"Oh yeah, Janny's not to big on the whole demonic invasion thing, I think hes just got a soft spot for the squishy meat people," Remus said.

"Remus I am begging you to call them anything other than that," Janus said. A sudden glint appeared in Remus' red eyes.

"No- no- not that either-" Janus held his hand up.

"Please tell me you're not planning on staying in my house." Virgil said.

"Oh of course not, we'll be taking you somewhere much safer," Janus said, raising a third hand, which Virgil really didnt want to think about for to long.

But luckily, he didnt have to, because almost immediately after, he passed out.
