Gotta say tho I LOVE how basically everything in the Devildom has the word 'devil' or 'aku' from 'akuma' in it. FabSnap is like the only outlier but other than that... Devildom, obviously. Devilgram. Akuzon. AkuDonald's. Devil salmon terrine. Devil duck confit. Devil crush super spicy mango juice. Akuber. Demonus is literally just 'demon' + 'us'. It's like they constantly need a reminder that they're demons

#feel free to add more these were just from the top of my head #might start collecting them #devil crush super spicy mango juice sounds delicious btw i really wanna try that one #obey me #obey me swd #obey me nightbringer #mel's starry musings

i love how we all come together here being needy for one old sexy grumpy fictional character 😂

"Why are you so obsessed with me?"

I've often wondered what exactly Five's appeal is. Why are we like this? I think it boils down to a few main reasons

There's the old classic: he's a flawed and/or violent man with a tragic backstory. That's an archetypal romantic hero. Whether consciously or not, we like to fantasise that the transformative power of our love could 'fix' him. (I see this as a flaw in the way our culture structures romance but yet I'm still a sucker for it).

Daddy issues. Just daddy issues.

Linked to the above, Five is confident and competent. Once you can be sure he's not going to murder you, he would protect the absolute shit out of you.

He's an old man in the body of a young man. It's the dream. He knows what to do and he can do it for as long as you need him to. 😏

Aidan Gallagher, while he doesn't float my boat out of character, is just angelically beautiful. He's a handsome man and he very kindly lends Five his face. Thanks man. Good job on that face.

honestly i really just can't stop being weak for characters who fall for an incarnation of their past love because in this life, they were not meant to be. but perhaps they will get another chance. perhaps then, they will be happy.

ugh. nothing's got a tighter chokehold on me than yearning that transcends death and rebirth and the passing of time.

And I am back with a new chapter of CI bk 1! In this chapter, tensions are rising and the herd gets caught in the thick of it. Diego and Peaches' uncle/niece relationship is expanded upon more (so fluffy!), whilst, after the events of Tiger's Heart, Manny finds Diego in more danger than before... what will he do about it? Read the chapter to see! Reviews/comments appreciated. :)

like a lot of other people have said, i don't think king intended on... coming back out of minecraft after destroying it.

though what really is doing something in my brain is that we know stick figures can die permanently (episode 29, pink dying) and stick figures also have no expectation to respawn (episode 7, green's funeral) (AVA 5, the fighting stick figures after being brought back). i don't see any reason why king would think that they'd respawn (in minecraft or real life).

it makes me wonder if the scene in episode 25 where blue is pointing a bow and arrow at king felt a lot more serious to king than it did to blue.

I'm very good at planning and execution but not so good at transitioning from one phase to the other. so today, I'm very proud of myself because I thought to myself, "oh I kinda want some mango float today, I should make some" AND I DID. I went to the store for the ingredients, I made the thing, I let it chill in the freezer for a bit, and now I have mango float! it's amazing that you really can just do things sometimes!!!

#mine musings #usually there is like. a gap of time between planning and execution #and sometimes by the time i decide i should probably start doing instead of thinking #i... no longer want to do it anymore #so today i'm very i glad Did Something #because now! i have mango float!!!!

welcome to an au i like to call oops all avatars, where all the s1 archives staff all come from branching timelines back in time to try fixing the mistakes, but each timeline is a little different in a few ways. details under the cut

jon (eye): follows canon mainly up to the eyepocalypse, whereupon he's sent back in time to s1

martin (lonely): is largely the same up until the lonely aside from tim getting got by the not!them and sasha dying in the unknowing, and jon himself not being too far along in avatarhood where it's easily missed by martin, where jon getting lost in the lonely is the catalyst to martin becoming and in his rage he exits the lonely to murder elias and plukas in a blind rage, ending his timeline w the dead man's switch taking martin down in the process

tim (spiral): in this timeline, it's martin gotten by the not!them. sasha gets killed by jane prentiss during an investigation after being the one trapped in her flat, leading to both jon and tim spiralling and seeking revenge. tim takes to the corridors to find answers, and his door is what saves him at the end of the unknowing where jon dies. tim becomes as a spiral avatar and takes to tormenting the archive replacement staff and elias until he and helen end up warring and leading to the collapse of both avatars and ending the timeline

sasha (web): biggest divergence. jon is claimed bt the not!them in this timeline, leading to sasha investigating the house on hilltop road. martin was kidnapped by the not!jon, and tim was killed in the prentiss attack, leaving sasha all by herself to try fixing things. sasha meets annabelle cane and was learning to be a web avatar, where elias basically serves sasha on a silver platter to the circus because hes sick of spiders in his archives, ending the timeline w her death in the unknowing, where she falls through the crack in hilltop road and sends out panicked web strands and inadvertently brings all the othere back

it doesn't take long for the three archival assistants to realize they all know more than they should and that they're all from different timelines, but all three assume jon knows nothing because he died in all three of the timelines, and that he's just an ordinary human. thry do not know that he knows the actual most of all of them

[mangoshorthand]

Do you think Five and The Handler had some sort of a fling in the Commission? I see so many people betting on it.

I hate how the Handler flirts and gets physically close to him even though he's in a teen body, and she obviously tends to like him. Five doesn't seem to back off when she touches him either, even when he clearly not shows the same interest in her as she does in him. But after all, both have no problem to actually kill each other off.

It really confuses me a little, since Five "broke up" with Dolores at the end of season 1, past his time in the commission, and I doubt he would cheat on the one he's been in a relationship with. Five also said he'd been with Dolores together for over 30 years. If he's been with her the whole time in the apocalypse, why not use 40? But maybe I'm just nit-pick.

I really hope I don't bother you with my questions, but it's really interesting to read your analyses and your explanations are reasonable. Feel free to ignore! ♡

Soooo... ⚠️FUCKING TRIGGER WARNINGS EVERYWHERE. RAPE REFERENCES, TURN BACK NOW IF THAT BOTHERS YOU⚠️

In the Mangoshorthand cinematic universe, The Handler raped Five multiple times over the years he was at the Commission. Part 4 of Hard Feelings deals with his recovery many years later, (there are flashbacks but nothing graphic) and my fic The Moth and the Spider goes into it in detail, (in a graphic, violent fashion). Essentially, I present it that The Handler took advantage of Five's naivety upon 'rescuing' him from the apocalypse and uses shame and fear to control him. At first he doesn't realise it's rape, but when he starts to understand, he pushes it away because it's much easier for him to perceive himself as a sicko involved in a violent sex game than it is to see himself as vulnerable. The fic spans the whole course of their relationship, from when they met to her death.

I have my canon justifications for my choice of this relationship dynamic specifically but I don't think that this sort of scenario is implied by the show, (even if it isn't directly contradicted).

Do I think they had a fling?

Honestly, I don't know. I think the show implies a spectrum of possibilities. Here is a (non exhaustive) attempt at laying it out. a) The Handler leverages her sexuality as a means of asserting dominance in their otherwise non-sexual relationship.

b) The Handler leverages her sexuality as a means of asserting dominance and would be interested in engaging in a sexual relationship with him. Five is/was disinterested but knows what she's doing so doesn't really react to her touching/little comments.

c) The Handler leverages her sexuality as a means of asserting dominance and would be interested in engaging in a sexual relationship with him and Five is/was titillated.

d) They once had a sexual relationship which Five regrets and now The Handler leverages that history as a way of asserting dominance.

Were I to order these scenarios by most to least likely, I would say: b, d, c, a I am more sure than not that The Handler has sexual interest in Five, and this is my evidence for that other than her general flirting, touching and comments

There is a scene in season one where she casts her eyes down and licks her lips just before she says the phrase 'schoolboy shorts.' 🤢

The scene in season 2 where she's in the bath reading his file, looking at two photographs of him. She gives a little shudder and kind of squeezes her thighs together in that scene, which implies...🤮

As to Five's feelings? Honestly, he's got a pretty good poker face. There could be a lot going on behind his unphased expression. I genuinely don't know. Here are a couple of indications of his attitude towards her that I can think of:

He definitely respects her as an adversary. He has a tendency to talk about her in tones of grudging respect. (e.g. "Oh, she's good," with regards to the candy tracker in season 1).

He allows her to touch him when he tends to avoid rather than initiate touch with others. There could be a lot of reasons for this, ranging from him not wanting her to know he doesn't like it to him actually quite liking the affection. (In my fics, I interpret this as him having learned to let her do whatever she wants rather than fight it, but I don't think that's what the writers intend us to take from it).

This one was pointed out my a mutual (who I won't tag in a post that mentions violent noncon, lol!) Whenever Five speaks to Lila about the Handler, (End of season 2, start of season 3) he looks as if he might be speaking from experience when he tells Lila she manipulated her and that she didn't love her

I don't think any of these are conclusive, however. They could indicate a range of feelings.

Would Five cheat on Dolores?

Five seems like the loyal type, so I think he would likely stay faithful. However, the reality of Dolores's physicality means she can't meet all of his needs. I can imagine them having an arrangement whereby Five can sleep with other people. I see Dolores as Five's conscience and his voice of reason when he's becoming mentally fractured. Honestly, Five engaging romantically and sexually with people other than her would be better for Five's mental health long term, and Five would know that, deep down. I can see that manifesting in Dolores advocating for him to do it to make Five feel less guilty about 'cheating'.

Also, the 'together for thirty years' thing: perhaps he meant together romantically rather than physically together, or perhaps it took ten years of solitude before she started talking back to him.

Sorry I can't really form a proper argument on this one!
