when you feel up to it, can you let us know how the rest of the ravesey hate went?
hello, my darling!
yes, i can!
i will, however, just to keep myself sane and my fingers from hurting, have to give these updates to you...in parts.
i am predicting to finish the ravesey hate, i will need at least four parts. this is part one. it is not written very formally at all, it's spelled very wrong and is kind of a mess. but it's info!!! and i hope it thrills u! these updates and the lore means a lot to me <3 so i really really hope that you like it. please *rp vc* let me know if it pleases and sparkles.
but now,
without further ado...
please enjoy the worst part of your day,
and rem(ember )
to smile, pendejo ;)
okay, so Technically chapter six was supposed to end with this dialogue, but i was under a lot of duress writing chapter six because i was trying to rush it out ( of anxiety ) so i didn't have time to write or develop the bottom actions or dialogue.
ergo, this is how lucky ( or unlucky who knows? not you guys yet ;) ehehe ) rm chapter 7 starts out. ( i will re-link 6 for y'all soon...i still kind of hate the way it's written and y'all were not supposed to get ravenstan pov this early, but the context is important and stan was so fucking cute in it like he's so pathetic and dorky, i'm luv him c': )
anYWays! context for this dialogue is kyle setting his phone up to surprise facetime ike, but instead of kyle answeing it, it's raven ;)
Tumblr media
nOT THE FOOT CREAM LMAOOOOO *jersey vc* it'S ORTHOPEDIC!!! >://// screaming crying n throwing up!!!!
which is what ike and co. are doing!!!
they are in ikes bedroom, which is FULL of cd stuff, btw.
there's a poster of old og cd on the wall because they haven't taken new promotional pictures so i think it's kenny with slightly shorter...black hair? or some kind of undercut moment? ( i canonized asian kenny btw they are fione as hell pls kiss me ken ), jimmy in the skull shirt w the drum stick behind his ear, thot foulkinson w/ foreboding fuccboi energies and raven of crimson dawn ofc, his hair is red which u know indicates manic episode!rae he's sticking his tongue out w the silver ringed, nail poilsh fingers bent into the rock&roll symbol, fishnet shirt...u know the drill, he looks like a wh0re.
but yes, so they're in ikes crimson dawn shrine bedroom, there's four other kids with him whose names we do not know. so we have ike, who i will describe in a second, we have a gothy boy sitting next to kyle with jet black hair, black lipstick, eyeliner, the whole shebang. we have a girl with red hair -- she seems quieter and studious. there is a girl with dirty blonde hair and she seems very vivacious and bubbly. she is smiling very wide and waving. and there is a popular blonde boy in a letterman jacket, scowling, looking unimpressed by this surprise celebrity guest appearance. i am sure you have ur guesses.
anyways x 2 kyle is about to strangle ike and try to justify his freaking lame ass embarassing ass Orthopedic Foot Cream delivery when he stops mid word, leaning in, hand on hip, eyes wide, Mad As Hell, like "isaac moisha broflovski WHAT THE HELL DIDJA DO TO YA HAIR?!"
because, girls, gays and theys...ike broflovski's hair...
is bleached raven of crimson dawn...Blonde. ;)
so ike is giving mini raven of crimson dawn, he is wearing the old crimson dawn teeshirt with the blood moon rising on it, even did raven's really bad chrome nail polish. tbh he looks more punk rock than the kid sittin next to him who is def more trad, romantic goth.
but yes, ike tells kyle he literally Just Did It while they were waiting for a part of their project to come together ( it does involve cd later, but not at this very moment ) and kyle is grilling the living shit out of him Older Brother Style all like mom is going to kill you and put your head on a spike, ike!!! i cannot believe you!!! this is sooooo...
and ravenstan is like "SICK, dude!" then kyle gives ravenstan the scary ass new jersey forest green laser eyes and stan as raven gulps and is like "Sick...ening. I am...Sickened, Ike. That is very irresponsible of you!" like mouthing 'i'm lying, so cool' winking at the camera jshdjsahdl stopping every time kyle looks over...smh they're married.
also i said Stan As Raven because jerseykyle notices that raven of crimson dawn immediately sounds like the guy that hit on him at the concert again in front of everyone. he does not sound like the cute, super embarrassed, flustery boy that was falling all over himself and advocating for plant rights. like, he switched up the second that camera came on. rae is also nervously fidgeting with his dress pants and breathing laboriously. additionally, he's taking Very Large swigs of his box wine in a...way that is...Concerning...like its a coping mech.
jersey kyle is sussed out by this, both the voice thing and ravenstan's pretty habitual drinking/how that seems to relax him immediately. the voice thing he assumes was just a weird fluke or something, kyle figures he imagined it anyways because raven kind of sounded like stan for a second which, clearly was a ptsd hallucination bc evil raven of crimson dawn...is not his wonderful, lovely stanley marsh...clearly.
also, why the fuck does he care about raven of crimson dawn??? he does Not care about crimson dawn obviously! he sips his wine lmao
okay, moving right along, raven of cd tells kyle...sigh...doing the voice committing to the bit smh...that he heard that it's ike's birthday, and while he'd love to give him vip tickets for him and the other five to one of his new york shows/fly them out free of charge n have them stay in the crimson dawn manwhoresion like a spooky haunted hotel.
i'll give you details on the cd manwhoresion in a diff post because there's a chapter that takes place largely within it for...Reasons.
but yes, he Wants to do that!!! however, all the shows around there are 18+ and its ike's seventeenth bday ( he's a little younger than everyone else bc he's a genius like kyle and skipped a grade ) and ravenstan doesn't want him to miss Hannukah.
( which, yes kyle does think its kind of sweet that raven must have remembered that kyle said that he was jewish and also that he cared that ike spent that time with his family...raven of crimson dawn does take another large box wine swig when talking about family...lol rip )
i also do think he slips a little...when i tell y'all stan is not that good at pretending to not know who kyle is like, smh, even if i didn't tell y'all that, you probably would have figured it out...but he basically says something like Your Mom Would Totally Go Postal
and kyle is like uhhhh how do you know that? and hes like AHAHAHAHA well you said she'd be mad about lil bro's blonde hair! trying to back pedal ohhhh my god. that placates kyle only slightly.
but they are moving right along, too fast to dwell on anything, also this is about ike...not them. speaking of ike tho, he seems super bummed and is like "i don't need to spend hannukah here!!! lmao!!! kyles not even coming like he misses it every year anyways!" totally throws kyle under the bus to spend time w/ celebPretty raven smhh
buuuuuut x2 ( and its a big butt if ur kyle <3 ) raven of cd is like "well, don't worry he's gonna be there, because i had a back up plan." and raven of cd whips out this piece of paper and winks and waves it. ike and goth boys eyes widen like they know Exactly what that is omg.
in the raven of cd voice he starts reading:
"dear crimson dawn ( especially raven ),
stan totally winks at him and kyle rolls his eyes lol.
the letter then goes onto explain that his birthday is coming up and more importantly, it's his winter formal. and that every year, the same super whack band from when his dad was in high school plays at their show. its a bunch of old dudes who totally do not shred. ike says that it's probably a long shot and that raven and cd are super famous and doing super cool, super famous band boy things, but asks him if they'd be willing to play at their high school's winter formal.
he also says that he has a big crush on someone and was working up the nerve to ask them...there is a gendered word on there...ike looks distressed like omg pls don't say it and raven just winks @ him again.
( i love you, ravenstan omg. )
and speaking, ofc, of lovely ravenstan, he tells ike that Crimson Dawn Will Be There, Little Man. Rock And Roll. Ur Only Seventeen Once. ;)
he also says that he's gonna fly kyle and the blondies squad out with them...you know...so now kyle can be with his family on hannukah.
very generous, raven! thank you! KYLE IS FREAKING OUT HES LIKE HELL NO HELL NO ABSOLUTELY THE FUCK NOT!!!! and raven is like woops too late, adios, amigos! and remember its always darkest...
*ike and squad vc* Before Crimson Dawn!!!!
ravenstan hangs up and kyle is trying to KILL him like are you fucking Insane??? you can't just play at my little brother's winter formal??? and raven stan is like...oh i think i can, new jersey! also he's fkn right bc kyle's totally stuck going now bc ike looked super excited and raven basically told ike that kyle would be there...fml.
but ravenstan is like "Speaking Of New Jersey, i will have those tickets booked for a week before the dance so you have time to be with your family/settle in..." kyle cuts him off by laughing and ravenstan is like metal eyebrow raise "what's so funny" and kyle is like "you think ike lives in new jersey?" and raven like *squints more* "you literally have a new jersey accent, new jersey? don’t you..."
and kyle is like "i did live in jersey, crow, but when i graduated high school and started college, my family had no reason to stay up there anymore ( doesn't explain ), plus my dad got a Business Opportunity. so they moved back home..."
"To South Park, Colorado."
ANDDDD LHDSHDLSHDk OHHHHH MY FUCKING GOD!!!! when i tell you ravenstan was STRESSED!!!!! he was like wtfwtfwtf like internally screaming help help help!!!! he thought kyle lived in new jersey???? because the last internet stalking of kyle ( while outdated ) placed him in FUCKING NEW JERSEY?????? oh my gooooood bitch!!!!!
so obviously, we don't have this pov, but basically stan is putting the pieces together and he's like fucking hell, that was literally hs firkle, filmore, tricia tucker and...he doesn't know who the blonde girl is but honestly he's so stressed out he's like i probably just forgot her name.
so he's like *voice crack* "sOUTH PARK, COLORADO????!!!!" fml fml
jersey is like "yeah...south park, colorado. you got a problem, crow?"
and ravenstan is like AHAHAHAH!!!! "no!!! no problem...at all! haha!!! can't wait to visit, this will be so fun! to go where i--i mean you grew up!!! haha! wow! whew!~"
*fucking kills the boxwine and cracks the crazy red heart glass vial necklace and inhales very deeply* he's still shaking btw like FUCK
and kyle is about to finally grill him about what is clearly raven of crimson dawn's serious drinking problem and ask what the weird vial is and why he's inhaling it when....
kyle...gets a waft of something.
and is like...
"…crow, do you smell Burning?”
and both their eyes go WIDE and they're like
"tHE LASAGNA!!!!!!!!"
AAAsaaaAAAAAAaaa
*bebe stevens vc* And Scene.
so that is part one ur welcome to ask me questions about it, but if they belong in extremely far in the future parts or like would spoil a lot of the surprises in these ask message updates, i will...not answer them. i am sorry if it feels like i'm ignoring you, also, i have 100 asks.
BUT I HOPE THIS WAS FUN!!! thank you for being flexible!!!!! i know it's not the same as getting a real update but hopefully you are stoked on finally getting some information! i will edit this so its more coherent later, i promise! if you want to rest of the parts, pls lmk.
also...if you feel up to it...if you could tell me how you feel abt this? like if you thought it was cool or liked it or didn't like it? lmao...i'm nervous smh smh smh skdhslkahds.

i'm in awe with your spellcaster's lore, i'm so obsessed, are you planning on doing a story? Also what was your inspo to build them? Specially Morgyn
Thank you SO much!! Everytime I get an ask like this, my heart gets closer to exploding from joy because it's always people I look up to around here and I just rfhakhfs. I MEAN, YOUR VLAD (both Vlads actually what the heck)?? HELLO??
Yes, I'm actually writing a story as we speak! It's gonna take a while before I start posting, but I have a few scenes ready. I just haven't posted any yet because I haven't been working on them in chronological order, so the timeline is a little bit of a mess right now, oops.
As for my inspo to build my spellcasters and their lore...It was totally a random thing. I was cc shopping for fantasy stuff and came across this halo (the one that Morgyn wears, with the daggers) and thought "Bet this would look great on Morgyn". I then opened CAS, put it on them and thought it looked so freaking cool I had an epiphany. So I just started to play dress up for literal hours and eventually came up with those two main looks. Obviously, Simeon and L. Faba had to be completely remade to fit their fellow sage as well, so I blasted on some Rammstein (I feel like Sonne may have been what really triggered my creativity here) and after a few more hours of looking for cc I thought would fit the aesthetic I was going for while still preserving their essence, I completely remade them. The lore actually came afterwards! For example, when I chose to give Simeon a prosthetic hand, I hadn't exactly thought about how he'd have acquired it (or lost his original hand, for that matter). It was only after that I sat down and thought it deserved some backstory, so I got to work on it. Simeon was actually the first sage I wrote some lore for!
I also created 3 other spellcasters that I haven't shared much about, but they'll take a big part in the story I'm writing. At least in one of its chapters 👀

#I try to always remind myself that if me from 3 or 5 or 8 years ago saw my art she'd be so stoked abt it#bc the algorithm is almost never in my favor and it's hard not to sometimes feel :/ when I work on something for so long#and literally right after posting it I alr see it gathering dust lol#the algorithm is especially gonna be a huge asshole towards me now that I'm busy with school and can't post regularly#but it's not like it was any different anyways even when I was posting literally every week#I have my excuses now for not posting regularly but if posting like once or twice a month has no difference from posting like twice a week#then I may permanently just slow my posting bc it is genuinely hitting how hard I was trying to get a fully rendered new thing out weekly#idk idk drawing is so fun and I could do it forever but posting it online sometimes does not bode well for how I perceive my work#yes likes n follows don't matter in the grand scheme of things blah blah blah but a steady following can't hurt#especially since that sometimes translates to getting more commissions#or hell just hearing something abt my work in return#I spend way too much time wondering what it is I'm doing wrong and cope with it by starting a new piece everytime#hence why I draw as much as I did/do lol#this turned out to be longer than I expected I hope no one read thru all this go look at my art instead#elle is talking again#dumps this all on tumblr so I can continue to seem mysterious and nonchalant on other social media 🚶‍♀️

#joe root might be the only white person on that team i care for#moeen ali and adil rashid get my support by default though because theyre fellow brown people and muslims so like they were always gonna be#included in this incredibly small list#but yeah thats it i could care less for any other english player like so many of them infuriate me for no reason#buttler and stokes are two popular ones i dont care for at all but for some reason theyre (relatively) popular on here?#in comparison to other individual players i mean#australia has fans on here too but like i dont mind them because the aus team is interesting to me#nz had some key word being had as in most of those blogs are inactive now so thats great but its a nice time capsule almost to revisit-#those blogs and see what was going on then in earlier years#as for pak i literally can count on my hands the number of blogs dedicated to pak anf its not a lot at all 😭#im gonna post more about pak cricket too but thats when psl starts#indian cricket fans are probably pretty common om here too i just purposely ignore them because like as a pakistani i cant bring myself-#care about that team at all and any time i see an indian player its like a jumpscare you know#hate that team so much its in my dna but theyre also just obnoxious as people#our team just has a bunch of cuties like what has pak ever done#anyway yeah that concludes my massive rant in the tags but in conclusion i need to see more subcontinent cricket stuff#as compared to white people cricket like we should be more active than the colonizers guys#what do i tag this as#i guess cricket but like i dont want to be attacked and murdered#its okay whatever happens doesn’t matter to me#cricket

📖ꜱᴜᴍᴍᴀʀʏ: maybe you shouldn’t be late to any event you go to, or bare minimum don’t make any bets you know you’re not going to win. having no hand-eye coordination is not great when you’re being forced to play golf.

ᴘʀᴇꜰᴀᴄᴇ: i’d like to remind everyone that the people asked for this hellscape! you 🫵🏽 asked for it. it’s long, like LONG. anyways: max is definitely the type of dude to use the cat emojis. my bad to my charles girlies, he did not make the cut for this 😔 i had to get rid of like three or four ig posts and stories to make this all fit into one tblr post, and none of that had charles content 🫠. also, the plot damn near ran away from me, but it’s barely there—it’s kinda more friend focused than lando x reader until the end! uh there’s one part in here that was inspired by tik tok comments, y’all will know which one 😅 inspired by the fact that my brother hit me with a golf club when i was a child 🙂i think i’m pretty funny so i hope you guys find this funny asl, otherwise what did i do this for?

I've been wanting to make this post for a while so now that I'm on mid-sem break, I will. Let's talk Shigaraki and sex.
NSFW warning??
So, let's get the big question out of the way. Is Shigaraki a virgin?
I think, yes. 100%
However, that is not to say that he is an innocent, oblivious, 'omg what is sex? uwu' baby villain. This guy literally lives in a bar, in a seedy part of the city, and hangs around with criminals. He knows about sex - I daresay he knows quite a bit about it. Besides which, we see in-canon that he has a phone and a PC and access to the internet, so he's hardly sheltered (though, he's definitely sheltered in regard to actual real-life socialisation, but that's another story).
Regardless, I stand by my assertion that he is a virgin.
Exhibit A: Shigaraki is shown very overtly to hate 'basically everything'. Correct me if I'm wrong, but everything encompasses sex/romance/intimacy. His character, especially at the beginning of the story, is prickly, quick-to-frustration, and sort of single-minded. He is driven to complete one narrow goal set by AFO that he believes he wants: to kill All Might. I believe prior to our introduction to Shigaraki, he was much the same, and thus did not seek out sex. Given his hostile and loner-guy nature at the start of the series, I doubt he would have had much in the way of propositions on his occasional solo trip to the mall.
Exhibit B: whilst I have seen it theorised that AFO introduced Shigaraki to sex via getting him a sex worker to 'satisfy his natural urges', personally, I think this theory is unlikely. This is because everything AFO does is to create discomfort and frustration in Shigaraki's life in order to stoke his rage (the guy literally has him wearing dead hands despite the fact that they make Shigaraki simultaneously feel calm and like throwing up). Thus, I doubt AFO would have encouraged Shigaraki to indulge in sexual relief - or any kind of relief - at all. I doubt he would have even explained the birds and the bees and likely pawned that job off onto the doctor or the internet if Shigaraki asked any questions.
So, we've established that Shigaraki's a virgin, and an ultimate hasn't-even-kissed-anyone virgin at that. But does he want to have sex? That big question number 2.
Honestly, I don't think he much cares for it.
It's odd to say given the multitude of what is essentially sex-addict-Shiagraki headcanons out there, but I truly think he doesn't really think about sex. Shigaraki's sex drive is probably quite low. Now, since I'm taking an evidence based approach here, lets go for the obvious evidence that points to him not having much interest in sex and that is the fact that if he was interested in it, Horikoshi would not shy away from showing it. My Hero Academia is not a manga that shies away from the odd bit of fan service or the pervy character. Mineta is - unfortunately - living proof of this. And he's not the only one. Horikoshi writes many of his characters displaying sexual attraction/interest/engagement/awareness at one point or another. So, logically, if Shigaraki was a character who was interested in sex, Horikoshi would show that. Since he doesn't, I can only conclude that sex isn't really a big deal to Shigaraki, or at the very least, not something he thinks about enough for it to show up on-screen.
Now, do I believe that Shigaraki has zero sexual interest? No. I think he's watched porn before, and probably even jerks it every now and then. But do I think he would actively seek out sex? Nah. Honestly, I don't even think he'd go along with sex unless it's with someone he's got a pre-established emotional connection to that's been building for a long time.
Like everything with Shigaraki, I think sex would be intense. By this I mean, he wouldn't be the type to have a casual one-night-stand or a friends-with-benefits fling. If he's in it, his heart's in it. Because he is so angry and destructive, Shiagraki often gets mischaracterised as heartless and deliberately cruel (this is a conversation for a separate post), but in reality, he cares a lot about certain things and puts his all into them. With sex, he would have to care about the who for the what to matter.
In conclusion - Shigaraki's well aware that BDSM doesn't stand for Bible Discussion/Study Meeting, but he's also a virgin loser who would not pin you up against the wall and have his way with you in a dark alley.

Hi :) I read The Tragedy of Heterosexuality and loved it — do you have any other books you’d recommend about gender/sexuality? Thanks <3 I love reading your long posts, you have really insightful ideas and I think we view the world very similarly
Glad to hear that! Here's some context for anyone not in the loop: The Tragedy of Heterosexuality is a book about Heteropessimism, or rather, finding a way out of it. The notion is that heterosexual love is doomed because men and women are just different by nature, and it manifests through relationship self-help books, incels and pickup artists, and the memes and ramblings of countless straight women who they wish they could just be lesbians. Jane Ward think heterosexuality as we know it self sabotages through what she calls the misogyny paradox: straight men love women, except they don't love women. But she doesn't think heterosexuality is doomed or prop up political lesbianism as a solution. She calls for mutual respect and actually leaning into the heterosexuality of, well, actually liking each other, rather than try to "queer" it. This is part of a really interesting turn in queer theory where heterosexuality has emerged as a subject of study--another good example is Hanne Blank's Straight: The Surprisingly Short History of Heterosexuality.
So I want to start out by disclaiming I'm not actually that well read. This is something I've been trying to work on more recently. That said, here are some gender and sexuality recs:
Two essays by Gayle Rubin: The Traffic in Women and Thinking Sex. I don't completely cosign everything she says, but these are monumental texts. Thinking Sex is topical especially as the "sex wars" keep playing out.
Gender Trouble by Judith Butler. Everyone's heard of this, so my specific recommendation is to skip to part three and the conclusion, where the text is at its most concise. Butler's theory of gender performativity has exploded beyond their initial reach, so they've since had a lot of interviews and given talks that address a wider audience. People who have read both Gender Trouble and Bodies that Matter tend to recommend the latter text, but I still need to.
The Trouble with Normal by Michael Warner, or if you want a shorter version, his essay "Normaler and Normaler." Even if you're not against marriage in its entirety, his criticisms are so incisive and helpful, especially now in countries where gay marriage was passed but proved to be a dead end. It also really gets into gayness as identity versus behavior, which seems to have exploded into a huge conflict recently. This is how you get people who are on board with queerness in the abstract but appalled by its real-life specifics. I also still need to read Fear of a Queer Planet.
Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde, is a collection of speeches and essays by one of the most influential Black feminist writers. "Uses of the Erotic" especially stuck with me, where the erotic is taken not so literally but as a sort of creative synergy with political implications. If you've ever heard "the master's tools will not dismantle the masters house," that's included in this collection.
Close to the Knives by David Wojnarowicz, also a collection of speeches and essays, is one of my favorite books on AIDS. The rage is palpable and crucial, and the essay "Do Not Doubt the Dangerousness of the 12-inch Politician" is eerily resonant today as politicians still stoke violence on TV (and now social media).
Lately I've been getting more into trans writing, with Transgender History by Susan Stryker and Whipping Girl by Julia Serano. The former alarmed me with how much I didn't know, and the latter blew my mind. It was written at a time when trans people, for better and for worse, weren't really in the public eye except for in niche circles, and academia about trans people was about or at the expense of them but not by and for them. Her mark is so tangible today. My next read will be Reverse Cowgirl by McKenzie Wark after hearing rave reviews. I think I'm going to like it.
I am also accepting recs!

TMAG Theory Board Update (EP 11-12)
Hi guys sorry about the late posting I've just started a new quarter of college and its been pretty hectic. also got into my school design BFA program so pretty stoked about that! Anyways lets get into the Episode Breakdowns because even though not a lot of lore related things happened I still have a lot to talk about
Tumblr media
For the breakdown I'll separate each by episode in sequential order
What Happened in Episode 11: Marked
Tumblr media
Celias Rude Awakening- we jump right into the weirdness straight away with Celia waking up on the side of the interstate. she indicates that this is not a weird occurrence and ends the scene by telling someone named Jack that she's "on her way." If you remember episode 8 after Celia and Sam talk to Gerry and Gertrude, she mentions stuff about wanting help with her own mystery. When Sam asks about it she says she's looking into Time travel, other dimentions and teleportation. Many people have theorized that maybe Celia is just a super heavy sleepwalker, but I think the she teleports random places out of nowhere. This could be a side effect of her reality hopping if this Celia is originally from The archives universe.
As for the identity of Jack I'm not quite sure about that yet. I cross referenced the name Jack with past episodes of TMA. The only thing that came up was Jack Barnabas from the statement about dating Agnes Montague (aka an avatar of the desolation and Jesus-like figure for the cult of the lightless flame) So Unless Celia is secretly Agnes of Agnes reincarnated , I can't find any way to link Barnabas to Celia. (if anyone has a theory feel free to send it my way.)
Tumblr media
Sam Lore- this one is pretty minor story-wise but I thought it was interesting. Before the statement for the episode is presented we get some classic Sam and Alice Banter ™ most of it is pretty lighthearted but I noticed Sam mention something that could indicate he might be an amputee.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These could not mean anything and I find it weird that it hasn't been mentioned until now but thought it was kind of cool and I will probably be drawing sam with a prothetic leg in the future cause I really like this head-canon. It also begs to question if he is missing a leg. it might have anything to do with his past as a Magnus institute test subject but then again could just be a fun character detail added by Jonny and/or Alex .
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Statement- Getting into the statement we get another Ink5oul appearance. Also possible Ink5oul identifying as she/they. (and lets be honest being a fear avatar is pretty non binary core). I found this Episode gave me a feeling of a hybrid between the Vast, Buried and the Flesh some people are theorizing that is might be a new entity called the Deep but I think that the fear of the ocean could easily apply to the vast or buried. Not much to say about this story though pretty standard Magnus horror that also gave us a hint to what Ink5oul's goal could be/which entity they serve.
Tumblr media
Post Bonzo- Gwen has a debrief with Lena after her first Externals Liason assignment and her meeting with Mr. Bonzo. Undoubtedly Gwen is still pretty shaken from her encounter, even arriving late to work due to sleeplessness. Gwen is able to ask Lena a few questions mainly she wanted to know who's name was written on the letter given to Bonzo
Lena is largely unhelpful but tells Gwen she should have worked it out by now and if not to pay close attention to the case load for the next couple of days. before the latest episode my guess was Klaus because that is the only person mentioned so far that the OIAR intends to kill. but more on that later
Marked- Now were getting to my favorite thing about this episode. This episode title can have two meanings. The first is the more literal interpretation. Tattoos are marking of the body and the case this episode was all about tattoos so easily a good name would be marked. But I believe this is a red herring meant to misguide listeners who have not consumed all 200 episodes of TMA because if you know the world of Magnus Archives the term Marked takes on a entirely different meaning.
In TMA the term marked is used to indicate that somebody has been influenced by one or more or the fears and are one their way to becoming an Avatar. I think this could be a coded way to tell the audience someone in the OIAR has been marked. I have two potential candidates
Alice Dyer- Alice has been having dreams about the Institute after her and Sam's adventure into the ruins. also she mentions feeling like someone's watching her (common to people influenced or fed upon by the Ceaseless Watcher/The Eye) My guess if she is marked it would be by the Eye.
Gwendolyn Bouchard: Probably the most likely culprit. The main way an entitly tends to mark people is through encounters with other avatars. Gwen has just had an encounter with Mr Bonzo last episode who I strongly believe must be an avatar of some sort.
What Happened in Episode 12: Getting Off
Tumblr media
Aww Sam!!- Sam asked Celia out and it was adorably awkward. not much to say I just loved this interaction and I'm longing for a new Magnus brand office romance hopefully is wont be an agonizing slowburn that ends tragically like a certain pair of morons from Archives (I love you Jon and Martin but Jesus christ)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's Bonzo time bitches!!- Probably one of the most gruesome Magnus statement I've ever listened to (good work Alex) Mr Bonzo completely annihilated some poor dude at his bachelor party. Based on the date of the Incident the I can confidently say that whoever Baz (the groom) was he was our mystery person the OIAR sent Mr Bonzo to get rid of. Along with some of the bloodiest imagery we learned a few things about Bonzo. The most interesting detail is that Bonzo has to be summoned by playing his theme song I think the CD of his theme song acts somewhat like the tapes did in TMA by materialising out of nowhere. Also fun fact you know that torn seam that is right down Bonzo's middle? that is actually is his mouth lined with rows sharp teeth so I guess I know that now (so fun) Moral of the story dont f*ck with Mr. Bonzo
Tumblr media
Alice knows something: Theres been this recurring audio glitch throughout TMAGP thatnks to a few extremly observent fans we have started to relize that these glitches are not at all random and are actually letting the audience know when a character is lying (i actually reposted somones deepdive into all the istances of this glitch so far if you guys are intrested in knowing more) why i bring this up now is becuase since we know when any charater is lying we also know when they are being truthful if there is no glitch when they say somthing and at the end of this episode this interaction occurs
Tumblr media
Alice goes ahead and makes a joke about this to annoy Gwen but the fact theres no audio glitch when she says "I know" means she does actually know who is behind the OIAR and is activly refusing to share it with Gwen or the others. What do you know Alice!?
and that's about it im already loving these next batch of episodes and am so excited to learn more (ERROR has to show up somtime )
thanks to everyone who resonded the poll on the last update I will continue to include drawings into the breakdown even if it takes me a little bit of time to post. anyways I wrote this all in one sitting and I'm about ready to pass out so thanks again and the ask box and comments are always open for discussion and theory crafting.

ROTTMNT CASEY JR POST MOVIE HEADCANONS
I have not seen nearly enough content for my sweet angel baby boy so here are a few of my hcs.
PLEASE SEND IN SOME TNT REQUESTS!! I WRITE FOR LEO, DONNIE, RAPH, APRIL, CASEY, CASSANDRA, CASEY JR, AND KARAI
First off, I feel like Casey would be so stoked to find his mom. He's aware of the fact that she's not really his mom yet, and because of that, might hesitate to reach out to her, but that won't last long. He won't last two weeks. I feel like he would probably have the turtles help him out with reaching out to her, and would have them explain that her son time traveled back from the future so that she knows what's going on and has time to process before he just shows up like, "hi mom c:" He's just emotionally smart like that. I just know that Cassandra would be so excited. He moves out of the sewers and in with her, and I feel like it would be a super healing experience for him. He is an active participant in the non-girl scout girl scouts. They take turns braiding his hair, and Casandra teaches him to do makeup!
Speaking of hair and makeup, I feel like Casey would refuse to settle on one aesthetic. He had very little options when it came to clothes during the apocalypse, and most of it was for tactical and practical purposes, not style, so given the chance to experiment with his self-expression. While he'll never settle on just one style, I feel like an alt/grunge aesthetic would be one of his go-to's. He just really likes it. I feel like he would do that thing where he just covers his eyelids in black eyeshadow and just smudges it all around with his finger and calls it a day, but he really pulls it off well! A gauge earring truther. I feel like he'd also have snake bites, and various other piercings. Also has a slit in his eyebrow. I feel like his go-to hairstyle would be either a man-bun or a half-up-half-down style, just to keep it all out of his face while he's going about his day.
I can see him having Donnie tutor him so that he can get his GED. Part of him would really want to go to high school, but considering all the years he missed, he'd have a lot of catch up to do, and it just wouldn't be worth it for him. Once he gets his GED I think he would start with some community college courses, probably with a focus on engineering and humanities/political sciences.
He'd probably start off working retail and fast food jobs with April, and every time he deals with an asshole customer, he would joke about regretting saving the world because it meant that they were alive, or about having Mikey send them to the future. He doesn't mean it though, he's too sweet, he just gets pissy about how ungrateful people are when he had literally nothing his entire childhood, and grew up without tomorrow guaranteed.
I feel like as much as he loves the city, and seeing all the life within it, he loves rural landscaped even more. A real sucker for nature. I don't think there would have been much greenery around him in his childhood, so it's just one more thing that gets him all in his feels about how beautiful it is and how lucky he is to see it.

can you do 69 and 1 (stop the teasing, please…, never tease me like that again.)
i literally scream every time you post and i absolutely love your work 🫶🫶🫶
Spencer Reid x GN!Reader
i’m so glad you like my writing omg!! sorry this took a while 😭 🫶🏼 i hope you enjoy!
Prompt 69 : stop the teasing please…
Prompt 1: never tease me like that again.
cw 18+ minors dni. sub!spence, kissing, handjobs and whatnot hhehe
Tumblr media
you and spencer had been cuddling on the couch watching movies for almost an hour now. 30 minutes in you had started rubbing his things, innocently at first, but then gradually moving you hand further up his leg until you were ghosting over his bulge.
“stop the teasing, please…” he whined as you gripped him softly through his trousers.
“but teasing you is so fun..” you purred into his ear, rubbing his cock through his pants tantalisingly, smiling at the quiet moans slipping out of his mouth. you caught his lips in a kiss as you put more pressure on his clothed cock, enjoying how he moaned into your mouth and bucked his hips up into your hand.
you moved your kisses down his neck so he could moan freely and began to unbutton his trousers. he whimpered as you freed his leaking cock from the confines of his clothes, stroking up it slowly and running your thumb over the sensitive head.
“please.. just-“ he moaned out as you gripped him tighter, running your hand up his length even slower at his begging.
“you sound so pretty when you beg sweetheart..” you cooed, reaching the top of his cock and rubbing your cupped hand over the head, letting out a moan yourself at the way his hips bucked and writhed.
unable to help yourself, you caught his parted lips in a passionate kiss, all but devouring him as you pushed yourself flush against him - drinking in all his moans and whimpers hungrily as you continued teasing his cock.
your kisses traveled further down, over his neck and collerbones, low enough to feel his heart pumping faster as you squeezed the base of him gently before running your hand up again. spencer’s body felt warm all over as you continued caressing him, his impending release becoming harder to hold off as you suddenly made eye contact with him when you sucked down harshly on the pale flesh of his chest.
“are you close baby?” you questioned coyly, already knowing the answer from the blissed out expression on his face. just as he was about to let go, you too let go, releasing his cock from your grasp cutting of his orgasm. he whined loudly at the denial, tears springing into his eyes out how close he got and how fast it was ripped away.
“why!!” he exclaimed pitifully, looking up at you with tears in his big eyes.
“i told you spence, it’s fun to tease you!” you replied as you suddenly gripped him again, smirking at the way his head threw back with a loud moan.
this time your motions were faster, pushing him quickly into his orgasm, letting his cum paint your hand and his chest as he reached his climax. even after the liquid had stopped pumping out you continued to stoke him, his hips bucking and writhing with the overstimulation. his moans because the most delicious whines and whimpers as you continued your movements on his spent cock, holding down his shuddering things as he came again, white hot pleasure erupting in him.
he shook lightly as you finally removed your hand from him, whimpers still falling out of his open mouth as you placed soft kisses all over his sweaty face.
“sweet boy, you did so well..” you murmured inbetween gentle kisses.
“never tease me like that again.” he panted out as he finally controlled his breathing again. though despite his words, a dopey smile was gracing his flushed face. you leaned over to place a chaste kiss on his lips.
“no promises..”

Is This Allowed?
Post C3E89
Laudna and Imogen get another chance to talk once they are on their split-party mission, and Orym is caught in the middle. Yes this is titled from the vine, I wanted to play with Imodna from an outside perspective cause they definetely get lost in their own little world and romanticize things that are probably horrifying to onlookers, gotta love some untrustworthy narration. Enjoy!
Orym watched as the nerves settled in to each of his friends. The weight of the world would be enough to drive anyone over the edge, not to mention the weight of another smaller -but no less significant- planet.
They all carried it differently.
Fearne’s ears gave her away, twitching and following each little sound. Ashton leaned a little heavier onto his hammer when he stood for too long, and his brow was hardly ever relaxed. Chetney’s hands had developed a slight tremor, evidenced by his increased frustration while carving. FCG was hard to read, but his emotion wheel was nearly always verging on “exterminate” rather than “smiley” which was definetely something to keep an eye on. Imogen and Laudna were an odd pair, one crackling with light and the other weaving darkness, it only ever balanced out when they were touching, which they had been doing less and less of.
“So let me get this straight,” Ashton huffed, “we’re splitting up.”
“Yeah, that way we can cover more ground.” Imogen responded tersely. She had chewed off her pinkie and thumb nails and had taken off her gloves to continue, almost mindlessly as she paced the earthen chamber. They had already ruled out the assassination mission, against Orym’s hope that she at least be there for whatever happened. He, Chetney, Imogen, and Laudna were set on the infiltration mission, while the others were decided to join Ira for an explosive distraction.
“It’ll work out Ash, it has to.” He spoke up, squaring his shoulders. “You guys do what you do best, and we’ll do the same. Play to your strengths.”
Something flashed in Ashton’s gaze before he rolled his eyes with a laugh. “Right, the time-bombs vs the high-strungs.”
“I would say poor choice of words but you literally blew up.” Laudna chimed in, spindly fingers ghosting over her neck, Imogen glared at him from behind her.
“Shit, sorry Laudna.”
“It’s alright, it was funny.” She spoke over Imogens “Not funny.”
Orym sat vigil as Imogen curled in on herself, eyes glazed as she watched the violet flickering orb of her magical light dance between them. Their party had split off that morning to infiltrate and gather as much intel as they could before finally reporting back to Exandria. They were almost done, but the pressure had only increased. Especially now that they needed to spend the night in the underground network of tunnels near their target. They were meant to be back by now, and they would lose their telepathic communication soon without Letters nearby. It was all getting messy, but they had determined that it was safer to take it slow. Somewhere nearby, Fearne, FCG, and Ashton were waiting with Ira for their signal.
They are safe. Everything is stable. He reminded himself.
He had been first to offer to watch while the rest started their nights rest, but Imogen lingered as if her light was a fire that needed stoking.
You wanna talk about it? He spoke directly in to her mind to not disturb the others. It took her a minute to respond.
Bout’ how my momma might be dead right now? How if I close my eyes I might see her walk into that storm? How it’ll be the last time I ever see her. How I could’ve probably changed her mind but chose not to?
You couldn’t have changed her mind, not overnight.
Imogen looked at the ceiling, tilting her head back to suppress her tears.… I know it. That’s the worst part. She never would’ve chosen me over them. Not without a lot of talkin’ and time we don’t have.
War is full of ugliness and pain, I’m sorry you have to experience it, but you aren’t alone. You have us, we may be broken but we’re your family too, and we chose you. He gestured to the weathered grey fur of Chetney and to where Laudna lay curled up further away. Us and your spooky lady. We love you.
She smiled a little at that. Thanks Orym.
They sat in silence for a few minutes, listening to the soft snores of the old werewolf. Imogen’s eyes were noticeably drawn to the huddled form of her girlfriend just at the edge of the purple glow.
Can I ask how it’s going with you guys?
We’re alright. We talked earlier about everything and we probably still need to talk more but it’ll have to wait.
Yeah, I think a lot of us are holding out for a breather to delve into our stuff.
Some things are easier to postpone, my momma not so much, Delilah too, I just wish she wasn’t there all the gods-damned time.
Is it really constant?
Well, ‘ts what Laudna said anyway, she’s been getting stronger, she even spoke out loud to me and Fearne. Imogen grumbled. Cant stand it…knowing that ragged nasty old bitch is whispering horseshit in her ear and watching all our time together. Makes me not wanna do any…private stuff.
Orym snorted but paused and looked thoughtful for a moment. You know that’s exactly what Delilah wants, right?
Us not doing stuff?
Not just that, she needs Laudna to feel isolated…unlovable…it’s much easier to overpower someone with nothing to live for, she would definitely want to separate you two as much as possible.
Orym thanked every deity he could think of that he was friends with Imogen Temult and not at the receiving end of her power as she shot to her feet.
“That fuckin’ cunt.” She hissed out loud, turning to go to Laudna. Thanks Orym.
Orym chuckled and let his head fall back. “Yep.”
The glowing orb trailed after her, shifting its lavender spotlight onto the couple and leaving him in total darkness.
He couldn’t help but watch as they reunited; Laudna jolting upright to check on her, before furrowing her brow and pulling Imogen into her arms. Orym could only guess what Imogen could have possibly said that had Laudna wrapping around her like a spider keen on its prey. The darkness around them drew closer and the warlocks form blurred, growing in size and shuddering as her bones cracked and grew jagged bark. Her shadows licked and played around the perimeter of Imogen’s light, casting a ghostly lightshow accross the cavern wall near them.
His grip tightened on his sword hilt. He still wasn’t used to her unique display of power, and his gut often told him he was in serious danger even if it wasn’t aimed at him. He had started deferring to Imogen in those moments, to gauge the appropriate response.
The sorcerer slipped into the dark embrace without a seconds hesitation. She held on for a long moment before she drew away just enough to pull Laudna’s distorted face down to her own, hands stained black.
He nearly blushed at the raw intimacy of it all. The urge to reach under your partners skin and make a home amongst their bones was usually, he hoped, a purely poetic notion. They were in a unique position, literally, he couldn’t quite make out what was happening so he figured it wasn’t his business.
After a few minutes he glanced back to see imogen blushing and smiling like a smitten teenager, lips smeared dark, as she swayed into Laudna’s -now relatively normal- form. They were still impossibly close, but their magics had calmed, pastel purples blending into shadowy void. He heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing the lilting crone of Laudna’s laugh echo across the cavern. As they settled into their nest of blankets, Imogen’s residual dancing light faded to a dim glow before disappearing altogether, reducing Oryms perception to just his keen ears.
He really wished it hadn’t. It didn’t take long for the pair to start muttering and whispering again. He did his best not to eavesdrop, but it quickly took a tense turn, and he felt a deeply unsettling energy radiating from their direction. The normal darkness turned into something deeper, a chill skirted up his arms, and their whispers distorted to be unrecognizable and nightmarish. He wondered if Laudna had even noticed all the ways magic flowed from her, or if Imogen had grown so accustomed that she hardly took note. He was on his feet and stepping towards them when a voice broke above the din.
“No you fuckin’ aren’t!”
He nearly groaned. They were supposed to be keeping quiet and covert, not infighting. If this came to blows they would be in for a world of problems.
A light flared to life and shot towards him. He froze, preparing for his worst eventualities to unfold, until it stopped just above his head. It was one of Imogen’s, and it swayed slightly, seemingly attached to him this time.
Thanks , uh, could you guys k-
She interrupted him with a frustrated growl.
“Nope. Not messing with that.” He muttered to himself and sat back where he was before. Luckily, things slowly returned to normal, the room regaining its very faint light from the outside, and the couple quieting down for long enough that he knew they were finally asleep. He walked over and kicked Chetney lightly to switch watches with him.
Imogen wanted nothing more than to fall into a dreamless sleep, but she had a point to make first.
“Laudna?…hun? You awake?” She whispered into her lovers mind as she took a careful step towards the slight lump in their bedroll, shedding her outer layers that smelled like ozone and earth.
Laudna shot upright, concern pinching her features. “Are you alright darling?”
“Are you?”
“Can’t seem to close my eyes.”
“Well that never stopped you before.” Imogen teased.
“Imogen…?” Laudna regarded her with caution as the intensity in her eyes sharpened and locked on to her with a faint blush.
“I love you.”
“I love you t-“ The air burst from her chest as Imogen crashed into her.
“I love all o’ you.” She whispered. “Just as you are right now, okay?”
Laudna could only mumble incoherently, balking under the sudden attention as Imogen closed her eyes, happily tucked against her collarbone.
The cold seeped around them, Laudna’s aura enveloping her just before her arms followed suit. “I love you when you’re all creepy and dark.” Imogen took a deep inhale of petrichor and cedar, her hands sliding along the delicate architecture sprouting along Laudna’s spine as it shifted to accommodate her.
All Laudna could do was squeeze her eyes shut and try desperately to believe the woman in her arms.
“All your gore too.” Warm fingers traced ink across pallid skin. “You’re so beautiful Laudna, inside and out, an’ I would know cause I’ve seen it all.” She pulled her down into a slow kiss, hands smoothing her hair as twigs and leaves fell away to oil softened tresses. “I don’t love you in spite of Delilah, I love who you are in spite of her. You’re kind, and joyful, and crafty, and you love kids and you’re always eager to help cheer people up, even when everythin’ is just awful, and I’m gonna sundre that witch for ever thinking she could dim your spark.”
Laudna’s grip on her tightened with a strength that defied her willowy form. Imogen buried her head back into her now-soft skin and pressed a light kiss to her neck.
“I wanna have a farm with horses and two babies with purple eyes and black hair and a dog and some barn cats, and I want the worst thing that happens in a month to be us runnin’ outta eggs.”
Laudna gasped a breath as her ribs settled back in to place, her shock nearly choking her. “Imogen…” she cradled her face gently, dark eyes wide in awe. “I don’t know what to say.”
“Everything is okay, I promise, I just figured some shit out and I wanted to tell you.”
“I-okay.” Laudna wiped tear tracks from warm freckled cheeks as her own dripped from her jaw. “I want that life too. More than anything. It would be my deepest honor to share that with you.”
“Then it’s decided.” Imogen hiccuped and laughed softly. “Did you still wanna sleep?”
“Will you join me?”
“Can I hold you?”
“Please.” Laudna’s voice was small, but her shy smile remained as she bumped their noses and prestidigitated the tears and ichor away.
“Aw.” Imogen mumbled. “I like when it stains me.”
Laudna laughed bright and carefree, pulling Imogen in for another kiss. “You’re strange, my love.”
“Oh I like the sound of that.” Imogen purred.
My love. Mine.
Laudna giggled, delirious with affection, and pulled Imogen down into their bedroll. Imogen rolled onto her back and tugged Laudna’s head to her shoulder, hooking her own legs over Laudna’s, fingers slipping into her hair to scratch gently at her scalp. Her other hand soothed along the arm around her waist until the usual chill had melted away under her careful attention. Laudna sighed again and sunk deeper onto her.
“Alright?” Imogen whispered.
“The children… our children, if we somehow figure out how to have them, rather than adopt, they might be different than you imagined.” Laudna whispered after a moment.
“What like purple hair and black eyes instead? Maybe we’ll get lucky and get one of each.”
“Or a…teifling.” Laudna added.
Imogen held her a little tighter. “Oh! That would be interesting.”
“You’re not opposed?”
“We could always adopt. But, I would be honored to have your little teifling babies, or hells, maybe they’ll be little patè’s- I don’t care one bit darlin- they’ll be ours.”
Laudna clutched at her chest and squeezed her eyes shut. “Okay!” She managed.
“Shit, was that too much?”
“No!” Laudna hid her face in Imogen’s neck. “This all feels like a wonderful dream that will only end in horrid dissapointment.”
“Why would you say that? We’ve come this far havent we?”
“It’s not real .” She began, “I mean -I’m not real- I’m not alive, anything good that happens is simply a nice sentence in my epilogue.” She spoke in a flippant way, whether it was because she believed it, or because it was too painful to say sincerely, either way it made Imogen’s chest ache. A chill traced her spine, and up the back of her neck.
“Don’t you dare say that. I am not a dream.”
“No. You’re far better than anything I could’ve possibly imagined.”
“Don’t get sweet on me after saying this ain’t real.”
Laudna flinched, “I’m a ghost, darling.” She whispered.
“No you fuckin’ aren’t!”
Orym cleared his throat from somewhere in the shadows. Imogen threw a glowing orb his way and turned back to Laudna. “You listen to me. Your heart beats. You have dreams and hobbies and passions. You have a whole-ass girlfriend sitting in front of you, kissin’ on you and talking about making a family. You. Are. Alive.”
“That life wasn’t meant to be mine.”
“Says who? You think you’re just meant to be a hollow shell for a necromancer to puppet? That’s why you were born? You think you haven’t suffered enough to earn a little good?” Imogen huffed and set her glare in the taller woman who was currently curled in on herself. “You think Letters isn’t worthy of love? A family? A future? Just cause his life came about a little differently? Cause he’s two old to feel as young as he does? Cause sometimes he gets the urge to do bad things cause a’ how he was made?”
“Of course not!”
“Well you’re no different.”
Laudna’s eyes darted around, welling up with cloudy tears. “Well, I never thought about it like that.”
Imogen shifted to hold her face, “You deserve this hun, all the good and the weird and the beautiful, you’re just as alive as any of us and shit, you’ll probably even outlive some of us.”
“I should hope not.”
“At least Chetney.”
“…I can live with that.”
They watched eachother in the near darkness, taking a moment to breath as the tension finally faded and the roar behind Imogen’s ears dimmed.
“I’m not letting you go.” Imogen reaffirmed.
Laudna smiled sadly but kissed her forehead. “I hope not, nor I, you.”
“Good.” The last of Imogen’s anger left her in a few hot tears that pressed into cold skin as they hugged and swayed for a long moment.
“Shall we try sleeping again?” Laudna murmured.
Imogen waited until she was almost sure Laudna was asleep before whispering softly. “I’m afraid I’ll see my momma walk into the storm.”
Laudna made a pained noise and cradled her closer. “I’m so sorry dear.”
“It’s alright, really, she’s easier to let go of now that I know more.”
“It’s very much not alright. It’s entirely fucked and horrible. But I’ll be right here the entire time you’re asleep, you won’t be alone for a second, I swear it.”
“Alright.”

Further Guardian Angel AU Ideas
So the original post is doing some numbers, so fuck it! Let’s do a few more!
1) The Seven Deadly Sins were once known as the Seven Great Freedoms. Other than Samael, who was already an Archangel, the other five were Seraphim and Ophanim given a portion of Lucifer’s power, making them pseudo-Archangels. While Heaven didn’t approve of this, God vetoed them and decided to let Lucifer cook (because that deity had PLANS, and you can bet your bottom dollar that he intended for the eight of them, including Lilith, to rule Hell one day… just not as early as it ended up happening). Other than Samael, I don’t currently feel like scouring the Internet for proper Angel names for the rest of the Deadly Sins, so I’m just gonna use their Demon names. Samael/Satan was the Freedom of Defense. Asmodeus was the Freedom of Pleasure. Mammon was the Freedom of Wealth (because Wealth can indeed bring great freedom). Beezlebub was the Freedom of Fulfillment (in this case the fulfillment of basic needs; one can not be free if they are starving and thirsty). Leviathan was the Freedom of Ambition. Belphagor was the Freedom of Rest. And Lucifer and Lilith… were still Pride! But in this case it was a healthy Pride in one’s good works, and not the sort of Pride that came before the Fall.
2) When Eve started her relationship with Lucifer and Lilith, she basically asked them to step on her. They both initially objected to this, saying that this was merely what Eve was PROGRAMMED to want. However, Eve shot this down by saying “Yes, I was born this way! Everything on Earth and Heaven was born a certain way! What matters is if I have a choice in how I fulfill my natural desires. I never choose to be Adam’s submissive wife, even though I enjoy it shamefully. I CHOOSE to be your submissive wife, shamelessly!” And so, Lilith and Lucifer would eventually invent BDSM to fulfill Eve’s increasingly kinky desires. If you’re wondering HOW a bunch of naked savages who haven’t even invented the house yet could possibly invent BDSM. Simple: Lucifer and his PURE ANGELIC POOOWWWAAAAHHH!!! He just snaps whatever they need into existence. Raphael would later tell Lute about this new BDSM thing. She greatly appreciated this, as sex was starting to get a bit dull.
3) As implied above, Lute was also fairly submissive in—- well, I was about to say the bedroom, but those hadn’t been invented yet! However, neither Lute nor Adam were even remotely as clever as Lucifer and Lilith, so the idea of adding whips and chains to spice up their sexy times just never occurred to either of them (despite the fact that, as an Angel, Lute knew of all these things). Their fun times consisted of a lot of manhandling. Lots of stepping on Lute’s face. When Raphael approached Lute after the Fall and after her and Adam started fucking again with this whole BDSM thing Luci and Lilly invented, she was stoked to try this out.
4) Raphael also kept Lute and Adam getting back together a secret, though unlike Eve’s relationship with Lucifer and Lilith (remember, Adam had no idea Eve cheated on him until the Battle of the Hazbin Hotel), this secret was eventually uncovered.
5) As stated previously, this resulted in Lute being stripped of her rank as an Archangel, reducing her to a mere Ishim. And yes, this does mean cutting off four of her wings, leaving her with just two. Let’s just say that cutting off Vaggie’s wings was pretty cathartic for Lute.
6) While this never really had a chance to manifest fully during her time in Eden, seeing how at the time Adam literally only knew three women (Lute included), Lute would eventually come to find that seeing Adam plow other women REALLY got her off. Her first hints of this was how she would kinda enjoy watching Adam and Eve have sex, though in this case the pleasure would be GREATLY outweighed by her sheer envy of the woman. Once Lute knew Adam was hers though and Eve was out of the picture (down in Hell and slowly mutating into an Eldritch Abomination)… well, then the fun really started! This is how Adam can be both in a committed, ten millennia long relationship and be a promiscuous bastard at the same time. She initially sat in the corner and watched, but when this started to creep out Adam’s conquests, she instead decided to use a secret viewing window. In the modern day she uses security cameras to get her sex tapes. And yes, to make this incredibly obvious, I am saying both Lute and Adam deserve to be in Hell. Adam exemplifies all Seven Deadly Sins, and Lute is both incredibly Lustful and Wrathful.

The Castlevania franchise feels like it's getting more and more divided since Netflixvania started and it's getting really bloody frustrating to the point that while watching Nocturne I've felt disquieted, and I think I've realised why that is.
It's the fucking DmC:Devil May Cry white hair fiasco all over again.
For those that don't know, when the DmC reboot was revealed people had a lot of criticism, including turning Dante from a cool but likeable hero into a foul mouthed smoker, the dumbing down of the gameplay, the antagonism towards the fanbase, and turning his iconic white hair black. Of all these criticism, only the hair colour change was given any attention, painting the fan base in a very negative light and side stepping the real issues people had by only focusing on the cherry rather than the whole sundae.
All this attention directed towards something that in the grand scheme of things is very minor but it gets all the attention while the bigger stuff is ignore.
Yes, there are people mad about the show for racist reasons and they shouldn't be listened to, but there are genuine complaints that are being swept up with that.
The character changes have a sort of domino effect on everything. Maria being a serious revolutionary is interesting, but I saw someone put it best that what made her special was the fact that she was a little girl in a world of classic horror that believed she was in a fairy tale and had the power to force that reality on everyone else. Netflix Maria is good, but lacks the charm of Maria.

The second example is Juste. When I saw him I was very excited, but that was mainly because it was acknowledgement of the original canon than anything else. His magical prowess, the thing that makes him stand out among the Belmont linage, is mentioned and then brushed aside, and the worst ending of his game is what is taken as canon. And once Richter gets his magic back, Juste is gone. He feels like a plot point rather than the character. I sympathise with people who's favourite game was Harmony of Dissonance.
Annette was a compelling character with a well developed story, but anyone that says her original characterisation would never work are being disingenuous because they literally did that, except that did so with Tera. The connections to Richter and Maria, the damsel elements, the fact she gets turned into a vampire, all from Annette. Swapping them around wouldn't work for multiple reasons and I'm not going to say I can do better than people you get paid to write when I don't, but I feel I can say that if they had wanted to they could have done something closer to the original while still touching on the themes and narratives they wanted to.
Tumblr media
Olrox... honestly the only criticism I can really think of is the removal of any reference to Count Orlock.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There's an elitism with both sides of the fanbase here. On the Netflix side, there's the feeling that since theirs is more popular that any criticism is because people are just nostalgic, and game fans feel that since theirs is the original foundation that anyone that doesn't agree with them is just a new fair-weather fan. And honestly, I'm more sympathetic to the game fans.
I've seen Netflixvania fans look at people complaining that the character have changed and go "yeah well the version you like sucks so you should just grow up" As if that's going to make everything better. And all the people complaining about the race changes or posting "WOKE?!?!?!" have poisoned the well for any actual discussion about this, not helped by the social media accounts deliberately stoking the flames in the mistaken belief that all publicity is good publicity, which raised the ire of nexflixvania creators. Unfortunately marketing can often be removed from the intentions of the creators.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yes, Netflixvania is a great show, with beautiful animation and great storytelling, but it's not perfect and as an adaptation is leaves a lot to be desired. And that's the crux of it! The show is good, really good! But it doesn't feel like an adaptation of Castlevania. It's just a bunch of little details that pile up to make it less of what the game fans liked about the series. It's more grimdark horror than classic horror. It's more crude than it is philosophical. It's more hopeless than it is hopeful. And regardless of what you individually think, that's what people have liked about Castlevania for almost 40 years.
Ultimately I just have to ask, why do people seem to assume that you can't make a faithful adaptation while also making it interesting? They're not mutually exclusive.

I finally did it yall I made a list of my favorite Cartmanisms bc I do in fact very much enjoy writing his out of pocket ass
“Oh speaking of,” Cartman added, “let’s just sacrifice the Insulin Bitch and the brain damaged hippie to the zaliens so the rest of us can make a run for it.”
Eric was scowling. “Only I’M allowed to make comments about you two gayasses. I say we wipe the floor with those homophobes.”
“I doubt they’ll have a vest in your size, Thumbulimia.”
“Please, I have better things to do than watch the Jew have a Post Traumatic Spider Disorder episode.”
Cartman rolled his eyes, but got up to drop a five in the Fuckwad Jar. “I hate you guys, seriously. Marj, you weren’t even in the room for the Nancy joke.” The lace trim of his robe fluttered as he sat back down, which made Stan laugh again. “What’s so funny, hippie?” There weren’t really words, honestly, but he’d try. “I just… I never want us to change, you know?” “Gay.”
Eric sung a few lines of ‘Jesus Loves The Little Children’ in a creepy horror movie voice and then sprung out from his hiding spot and started blasting on an unsuspecting youth who got too close, chasing him down the field with rarely shown athleticism.
Cartman looked incredibly bored as he clicked the magazine and snapped it back into place. “Well fuck me for being prepared.”
Cartman scoffed. “He’s not doing anything but staring up at you like he’s Sleeping Goddamn Beauty and you just kissed him out of a coma.”
“Awww, looook, you guys! They’re having a gay little hurt/comfort moment again! What, you gonna kiss it better, Kahl?”
Cartman just rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. “What the hell ever, Jimothy. Go stutter about it to someone else.”
“Okay, fucking first of all,” Kyle shot a glare at Cartman, “no one’s getting sacrificed. Literally, that’s not goddamn happening. AND we’re keeping this discussion CIVIL. It’s five in the morning and nobody’s slept very much. There’s not a single guy here who’s actually thinking straight.” “That would be because half of you are gay as balls.”
“Once again, I’m moving that we leave the hippie behind.” “Cartman, remind me to kick your ass when we’re out of here.” “Good luck on that if you fucking faint like one of those stupid goats again.”
Cartman was out of bullets, but he’d taken out a good chunk of the extraterrestrial undead. “Holy shit, Kahl, you better not die on us. Cockroach, remember? You’re a damn cockroach.”
“Aight, so anyway, what’s JewBot up to?” “Still at work. He’ll be home later. We’re gonna go out to dinner with the Tuckers.” “I didn’t ask for your life’s story, buttplug,”
“Oh JESUS CHRIST!!” Oh, great. Cartman had emerged from his cave. “Did I just walk into a stairwell orgy?”
“Fuck you, Kahl. Your recycled dildo and his weirdo wingman pulled me out of a Klance slowburn.” “WHO the FUCK is reading Voltron fanfiction in 2023?!” “Some of us are dedicated.”
Eric paused his self imposed quest to rob every taco truck in GTA and set aside his controller. “Hellllll no. The vampires don’t get my blood without paying me for it.”
“Geez, pack it up, Fiddler On The Roof.”
“Fatass, if he dies in a car accident because YOU made him freak, I WILL kill you.” “Good luck doing that with one leg and a fever, fleshlight.” But his voice softened. “Just try to chill out until he gets home, Kahl. Then you can be a terrible patient for someone who actually likes you.”
“Yeah, hippie. I wasn’t going to deal with you if something happened to your burning bush.”
A certain abrasive fuckwad leaned casually against the wall. “Oh, the Bubonic Jew didn’t tell you yet? I said he fell on the stairs, didn’t I? He just hurt his knee again, what else is new.” Stan made a noise of surprise and Cartman pointed his beef jerky at him. “By the way, I really don’t get why you get so stoked about lugging him around. He’s difficult.”
Cartman scurried off to inspect a leaf. “Woah, you guys! I think I just, like, discovered empathy!” “You’re looking at a plant.” “Plants have feelings too, Khal! Look at your photosynthesizing dildo back there!”
“Like he needs an excuse to get on his high horse about shit.” “I’ll kick your fat ass,” Kyle warned. “Good luck, tinkerbell.”
Cartman had planted himself into the passenger seat, munching away at that bag of funyuns. He glanced back. “What’s the ‘sitch, Ken-Possible?”
“Because, you pussy,” Cartman said with a false saccharine smile, “you have the biggest TikTok following from your gayass little songs.
“Yep.” Cartman said through a mouthful of eggs. “Plus, Clyde has an affair going with the town vet, Butters is a total twink, and Stanny boy has a boner for the Jew.”
Oh dear god. Cartman was NOT about to babysit the argumentative dickhole while the housekeeper worked. As much fun as he was to fight with, Kyle was a fierce opponent, and Cartman wasn’t really in the mood. He’d had a weird night. The cats had been on edge.
Oh, of goddamn course. The OTHER buttplug. It wasn’t a secret. Well, technically it was, because no one talked about it, but anyone with eyeballs could see that Stan and Kyle had a gayass little private relationship going on behind Craig’s back. Good for them, or whatever, but if the Spider ever got proof…
Cartman just rolled his eyes. “Scott, you glucose gobbling ass bitch, I’ve literally butchered two people. I know the human body, okay?”
“The fuck.” Cartman’s eyes widened. “Every single one of you dildos had better be praying that there’s no internal bleeding.”
Cartman put his hands up. “Gahdamn, you guys. Just trying to lighten the mood in this hot air balloon to Hell.”
“Ay! Hippie! The Jew had to stay for basketball so I’m here with your buttfucking homework-“
Cartman definitely wanted to rip on him for wallowing in his own sadness, but the sooner he got this loser to be a person again, the better. “No shit, asshole. Your fucking fleshlight is even more intolerable without you to hold him back. You need to come back to school.”
“Also, I’m telling your little prince of Egypt that he can come over. It’s not like he’s gonna catch your Sad Bitch Disease.”
Cartman strolled around the corner, now wearing his frilly ‘widow whose husband died under mysterious circumstances’ robe.

“… as though Deaf people haven't been calling for Sign to be taught in schools. As though a Deaf person being entirely isolated in everyday hearing society unless they have an interpreter with them is less offensive than a hearing person being able to use BSL.”
I think I missed that prt of the post when I first saw it but I definitely read it now.
I did a sign language course in the last quarter of 2022 because I have a deaf coworker, while she can read lips, it is definitely not easy for her. Sign language is difficult for me because Dutch sign language relies fairly heavily on facial expression and mouthing the corresponding word to a sign when I am Very Much Autistic, but I figured could try.
And guess what? My coworker was SUPER STOKED that I’d do that! She apparently told like half the deaf social circle in my area that I was learning it! I have a vocabulary of ~180 words but she’s still really happy that I’m making an attempt at communicating on her level and she even bought me flowers that she handed to me at the graduation ceremony.
You have literally nothing to lose learning sign language and everything to gain.
This is incredibly sweet! And yes, I'm not surprised. There is no earthly acceptable reason whatsoever that we don't teach regionally-appropriate Sign languages in schools, and I actually saw a fascinating documentary a few years back about how BSL campaigners were studying the Welsh Model for how to improve countrywide access to BSL.
I'm currently looking into BSL courses for a similar reason, actually - right now my university is putting me through a PCET, which is standard procedure for lecturers who don't have one. One of the women on my course is Deaf-Mute, and has an interpreter to attend. This course is going to last two years, so I'd really love to be able to directly converse with this woman by the end, even if only in a limited way. But also, my grandmother was extremely hard of hearing in her old age, and my mother is now starting to lose some registers. I think it's probably a fair bet, just from a purely selfish stand point, that I'll go the same way. Is it not better to learn now? I'll likely need it eventually. To link to the original discussion, I'd certainly want to find a teacher who is Deaf rather than a hearing one, because they're the people whose language I'm trying to learn, but yeah beyond that, the description of learning Sign being cultural appropriation is just... damaging to absolutely everyone, tbh, including every community who still needs to discuss actual cultural appropriation.
