alot of shipping drama is fixed with polyamory. so anyway hoa is a big polycule and when people try to explain it it sounds like a meme and not everyone's dating everyone but somehow their all linked. the teachers have a bet for who's dating who because some days they see Fabian and Nina walking through the halls with their hands linked, and the next they see Fabian and Mick hugging the hall way as Mick holds up a mirror behind Fabians back for Amber to use.
or like how Jerome is some days bugging Mara but clearly flirting with her, and the next he’s stealing Alfie's food and resting his feet in his lap.
oh and the whole no one ever being in their bed but whenever Victor can be asked to catch them he never finds the same 2 people sharing a bed
#house of anubis#their all dating your honour I don't make the rules#no I'm sorry but Fabian was so crushing on Eddie at some point#and Amber was ALLL over Nina#joy and patrica would also be such a cute couple lowkey#same with patrica and Nina like their both chaotic in their own ways and thats just??? yes please#alfie just comming and asking fabian for homework help knowing full well all hes going to do is stare at his eyes

Send a Review!!
The first round of books was eliminated and I wanted some help talking about the book eliminated. There are so many amazing books that unfortunately were cut but still deserve their time to shine. I was hoping I could share people's reviews of the books eliminated, as I have not read them all.
I was hoping people would send asks with reviews or send me a review they had previously written to reblog. I'll post ones for the books I have read over the next week!
Not all reviews need to be glowing reviews, but if you didn't enjoy some of the books, also please feel free to send a review explaining why as well!
I'll use the tags of the eliminated works as well as "book reviews"

Morning
Media House Of Anubis
Character Jerome Clarke
Couple Jerome X Reader
Rating Sexy + Flirty
I sat at breakfast nibbling away and avoiding the nonsensical conversation at the table, when I perked up as I heard the stairs,
"Ahh come to grace us with your presence Y/n," Patrica sneered,
"Umm..." Y/n grumbled, I looked up seeing her trudge in her uniform acsew, her hair in a strange failed attempt of her usual plait her eyes barely open, she had been up late studying for the chemistry test, she's such a sugary thing she'll make your teeth hurt and it did hurt me to see her like this, even if I usual am complaining about her chipper she is in the morning, seeing her like this was worse. But school had demanded her to come in today so she couldn't stay here another day. She had her way along the table with a delirious walk before she at down.
Not on a chair.
On my lap.
Well, that was unexpected...
but not unwelcomed.
I did have to give myself a firm reminder that we were at breakfast and everyone could see us, as my mind almost immediately wanted to wrap my arms around her to keep her here, just feeling her skirt against me was... DOING THINGS!
Especially this early in the morning,
"Good Morning?" I said questionably a little in shock at y/n sitting on my lap like this,
"Humm?" She grumbled questionably as she noticed my chest and shoulder so she nuzzled herself into my shoulder falling back asleep,
"I don't think we should wake her," I whispered nuzzling my head with her's a little unable to hold back a smile,
"Y/n!" Everyone else yelled which caused her to jump a little sitting up more, god damn it they have to ruin my fun,
"Ummm?" She yawned,
"You're not on a chair y/n," Nina told her,
"No? Ohh... I'm not sitting on a chair?" she said as she squirmed her hips and rubbed her hand up my chest and into my hair,
Ohhh god, shut up Nina just let her stay here, just... let her keep squirming ... just for a minute, or two... or five... no two seems like enough,
"No. You're really not." Fabian told her,
"Ohh?"
"No. You're on a Jerome." I sighed, I didn't want to tell her but I knew everyone else would If I didn't,
"Hummm?" She yawned, her hand shoved into my face "On A Jerome..." She said sleepy and confused, "ON A JEROME!" She yelped turning to actually see me, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry Jerome." she said,
"It's quiet alright," I chuckled, "Hi."
"Hi..." she said sheepishly, "You could have said something!
"We both know why I wasn't going to," I smirked,
"Do you have to be such a perv, Jerome?" Mick asked,
"I- SHE sat on my lap! and I'm the perv!"
"don't blame Y/n for you being a Perv Jerome," Patricia yelled across the table,
"Why am I being ganged up on here!"
"Ohh come on you clearly enjoyed it," Alfie smirked as he had his toast,
"What I did or did not enjoy is not your business," I told him,
This debate went on for a couple of minutes until,
"Y/n?" Amber spoke up,
"Yeah?" She yawned,
"...why haven't you moved?"
"...uhh..." she gulped,
"Amber has a point, for once," Patricia added,
"I uhhh... I... I have a headache! I don't wanna move too much..."
"Or she likes Jerome's lap," Alfie spoke up,
"I do not!" she protested,
"Yeah, she does not!" I protested,
"I mean a little it is comfy," she muttered,
"I... I. really?" I asked,
"Yeah, you are kinda comfy Jerome,"
"Yeah your pretty comfy having you on my lap too," I smiled resting my hands on her hips and she happily laid her back against my chest and moved her hips with my hands,
"OH my god!" everyone complained as they noticed us,
"Can you two not hump at the table!" Fabian complained,
"Go, Jerome!" Alfie smirked,
"Can everyone sit in their own seats please!" Nina complained,
Y/n sighed and hopped into her own chair to have her breakfast, and everyone returned to the conversation we both kept quiet and had our breakfast but we soon met eyes so I winked at her making her blush and fix her hair a little, once breakfast as finished up and everyone headed to grab their bags she got up too but I grabbed her wrist before she could go,
"You know, you're welcome to come sit on my lap some other time?" I whispered slyly
"I might just take you up on that Jerome," She smiled,
"Maybe I'd be a good source of... relaxation in chemistry?" I smirked,
"Maybe a distraction," She smirked
"Both." I told her, "But if not in class... maybe tonight? At thew table?"
"Maybe tonight, In my room?"
"Deal."

V.
CW: Lots of talk of blood, more than usual, honestly.
Carl needed surgery. Everyone knew that Carl needed surgery. But you knew that he needed surgery more than anyone else. You could tell Carl was having a hard time breathing. If Shane and Otis didn’t get back soon, Carl would be screwed. Rick had given him a few blood transfusions as had you. He and Lori couldn’t stop thanking you.
“I would hope that if Gracie or Adi were in the same position, then you would do the same.” you tell them, but honestly, that's not true. You would have helped the boy even if you had no children of your own.
You felt sick donating this much blood. One of the women, whose name you learned was Patrica, had given you so much orange juice and crackers that it made you not want to eat them ever again. The family had been quite welcoming to the four of you. You were sitting beside Carl when Gleen and T-Dog showed up at the house.
“Hey.” Gleen says awkwardly from the doorway, “You guys doing okay?”
You look at Rick in the chair across the room. He looks tired, you imagine you do as well. Giving away this much blood has caused you to become more exhausted than you already were.
“As long as Carl is doing good, then, yes.” you tell him, “Where is Jesse and the girls?”
“He decided to stay back with Dale and the others. He had no idea if that girl was telling the truth or not.”
“Are they coming tomorrow?” you ask him.
“Yeah, they wanted to stay one more night to see if Sophia made her way back.” He tells you and you nod in understanding.
“I’m gonna go see Carl.” Rick tells you both before standing up.
You and Glenn look at each other when he goes into the room.
“So what are we supposed to do about the sleeping situation?” he asks you.
“Yall can stay in the living room tonight,” the younger girl told you, “But you look like you might need a shower.”
So there you stood looking at yourself in the mirror of the bathroom. Your hair was a mess and your skin was bloodied. You looked down at the dress that Beth had given you. It was a white sundress with little flowers printed on it. The idea of wearing that dress was completely impractical. What would happen if you needed to run from walkers? Beth had also told you that the dress belonged to her mother. You looked back at yourself in the mirror. You looked older than before. You could see it mostly in your eyes, they looked tired. You were tired, exhausted even.
The next morning you wake up to the news that Shane arrived sometime in the night with the supplies that had saved Carl's life. Shane also arrived without Otis. You really wanted to believe that you and Dale had just caught Shane in a bad position when you saw him point the gun at Rick. Yet the evidence kept piling up and telling you the opposite.
While you are eating breakfast you hear the sound of approaching vehicles. Which means that your family is here. You get up suddenly and run to them pulling them all into a big hug.
“I was so worried about you all.” you tell them.
“Is Carl okay?” Adi asks you.
“Yes, he got surgery last night and it went well.” you tell her hoping to ease her worries.
“y/n we need to talk about this.” Jesse tells you.
“Not right now,” you tell him, “you just got back.”
“Stop putting off this conversation.” he tells you, getting more upset.
“Fine. Adi take Gracie inside.” you tell her.
“But-”
“No. Go now please.” you tell her. She picks up Gracie and carries her inside.
“You have to stop this.”
“Stop what?”
“Stop risking your life for people you barely know.”
“Oh screw you. I was looking for a little girl.”
“Yeah I know that, but you do things that aren't even asked of you.”
“These are people. You don’t know how many are left. Or even how many good ones are left.”
“We both know that it isn't just about helping them. If it was, you would've told them that you were a nurse in the beginning. Instead you kept risking your life.”
“What? Do you think that I am trying to kill myself?”
“I honestly have no idea y/n. I'm just concerned about you.”
“I don’t know.”
“What?”
“I honestly don’t know if I want to die or not. What if this is it? The rest of my life- our lives are spent inside cars and living for a tomorrow that might not even exist.”
You both stay silent for a moment.
“Why don’t we go up north and see if we can find Mom and Dad?”
“Jesse-”
“No. Don’t say anything. We could see if they are still there. We could see if-”
“Jesse. No, we can’t leave because of a what-if. We need to stop thinking only about ourselves. We have Gracie and I need to keep Adi safe. I think the best way of doing that is staying with the group.”
“Okay.”
“You should know that it’s not that I don’t want to know. I do. I would love to know if- but we can’t.”
“I’m sorry for being such a dick these past few weeks. It’s just-”
“I know. It’s not your fault you weren't there. It’s not your fault she didn’t come too.”
“It feels like it.”
“It’s not. I promise.”
Now you and the group stand around a mound of rocks that symbolize Otis. You listen to Hershal talk about God. You think it’s funny that someone could believe in God in a time like this. He also asks Shane to speak about what happened. You can tell that he is just repeating the same story that everyone else knows. You don’t believe it, you need to talk to Dale about it.
After the service you ask Maggie if it is alright to give the girls a bath.
“Of course it’s okay. You can use some towels and rags.” She tells you.
“Thank you, they are getting a little stinky.” You say.
“How old were you when you had her.” She asks you, pointing at Adi.
“Oh Adi isn’t mine. I worked at a daycare to help pay for school and when everything happened she came with us.” you explain.
“What about Gracie?” She asks.
“Gracie is my younger sister.” You say, “My parents had me really young and had her old.”
“And Jesse?”
“Also younger brother. He’s three years younger than me, he was about to be a Senior in high school.”
“What about your parents?”
“I haven't seen them in months, so I have no idea.”
After you go outside with freshly washed children to find Jesse helping the group get a walker out of the well. It's a surprise because honestly this is the most you've ever seen him help the group. It’s good it makes you feel better about making him stay.
“Don’t get too dirty please.” you tell Adi, “I’m going to set up the tent.”
Later that night you and the group are gathered around a fire eating a few squirrels that Daryl got earlier. After being treated to food in the house this tastes like trash, no offense to Daryl. We just need some seasoning and that should make everything a lot better.
“Penny for your thoughts?” Dale asks you.
The whole group is looking at you expectantly.
“I was just thinking that this could use some seasoning.”
The tent that you shared with your family was really not made for 4 people. It was crowded and felt like you were just recycling everyone else's air. You were careful not to disturb anyone when you got out of the tent. It couldn’t be past 1 you thought to yourself. Mostly everyone was asleep except for Shane on lookout. When you noticed it was him you almost went back inside your tent because you needed to talk to Dale before you talked to Shane otherwise you might say something that could get Shane to dislike you. But before you did you noticed that Daryl was also still awake. His tent was far away from everyone else's. You make your way over to the fire that he was currently tending to.
“Why are you so far away from everyone?” you ask him.
“I don’t wanna bother anyone.”
“You won’t. You wouldn’t.”
“I like being closer to the woods.”
“Okay.”
You sit down on a log by the fire. It’s silent for a while. It’s not awkward like you assume it would be.
“Why are you here?”
“I couldn’t sleep.”
“Bad dreams?”
“Not always, just anxiety I suppose.”
“Why?”
“I’ve- I've never had to care for children before. Not like this anyways.”
“Don’t Jesse help?”
“Not as much as I would prefer he did.”
You fall back into silence for a while. You liked being with him like this. You both didn’t need to talk with each other.
“It’s getting pretty late so I should try and get to sleep. Same with you if you are going to find Sophia.” You say standing up.
“Hey, y/n.”
“Yeah?”
“I like your dress.” he tells you.
“Thanks,” you say smiling at him.

Four
The farmers son
master list
Ivy
I woke up the next morning in Jax’s bed alone. Pulling off a blanket I go back to Beth’s room. Opening the door I see the blonde still curled up in her bed. I’m debating waking her up bc I don’t know what to do besides stand here.
“Beth…Beth waking up.” I say shaking her shoulder. “Bro- Beth wake up!” I shake her harder.
“What time is it-“ she whines pulling her cover over her face.
Hershel then practically appears out of no where. “12:53 and I know your chores are suppose to be done before 3:00.”
Beth sits up in panic giving her dad a sheepish smile. “Sorry, daddy. We had a late night.”
“I’m well aware what time y’all went to bed because y’all wouldn’t hush.” He says with a hardened look.
“Sorry, sir.” I say scared he won’t let me stay again.
“Hershel’s fine.” He gives us one last look before leaving.
I turn to Beth and give her a grin before pulling her out of bed. “Come on I’ll help ya with your chores.”
After doing a few small things around the house me and Beth head out towards the stables. “Hope you don’t mind getting a little dirty, you can use the shower after.”
“I don’t mind.” I shrug then begin helping her feed and water the horses.”
We take about an hour or two to finish up all of Beth’s chores. We didn’t exactly rush to get them done. We stopped and starting talking halfway through each chore. It felt good finally talking to someone my age like this again. It was a great distraction from everything. From my past and what the present had come to. I finally felt like a teenager girl, giggling and throwing around hay in the stable with a friend.
“No wonder y’all where taking so long.” Jax says from behind us as we where currently braiding a poor horse’s hair. “You have hair in your hair.” He says pulling a few pieces out of my hair.
“Oh..thanks.” I say awkwardly looking anywhere but him.
“Where were you.” Beth asked with annoyance clear in her tone.
Her gives her a sharp pointed look that shuts her up. “Helping Patrica with the chickens.” Um ok…..I’m definitely feeling some sibling tension. “Where’s Nelly.” He looks in the stables.
Beth’s eyes widen as she looks around. “Did you make sure the door was latched when you put her up the other day.”
“Yes, but even if I didn’t Nelly knows her why back home let’s just ask dad. Maybe he let someone from Ivys group take her out.”
“Be for real Jaxon. It’s nervous Nelly daddy ain’t letting no one take her out.” She looks at him like he’s stupid.
“Ok well we still need to tell him.” He rolls his eyes.
I just stand in the middle watching them bicker. “Ok so let’s go.” I grab both their arms looping them with mine then drag them to the farm house.
Turns out Hershel had already knew about Nelly because the man wakes up before the sun every morning. Now me and the other women on the farm where setting up for a dinner to thank Hershel for letting us on the farm and helping Carl. Although Hershel didn’t seem to fond of the idea.
I feel kind of guilty for not really seeing Carl but I’ve dealt with to much death in my 16 years of life. See a little boy so full of life clinging to his life was not really something I wanted to see.
Going into the kitchen to grab some plates Carol stops me. “You and Beth go on. You seem bored out of your mind and we have more than enough hands.” She says with a motherly smile.
Me and Beth spent sometime in her room before we heard a gunshot followed by yelling. “What the hell.” I look out the window to see running in the field. “Oh my god. I think someone was shot.”
A/N:
This was rushed and short but I rlly wanted to post sooooooo I hope you still enjoyed it 😋

A while back I made a Fabina post where I mentioned off hand that I felt that all of the original British members of Sibuna were changed (for the better) for knowing Nina/being in Sibuna, but that I would be saving that for a later post. And well, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that everything I wanted to say about Fabian was covered in that post (TLDR he became braver and gained some much needed self confidence). I also realized that I only have a little to say about Patricia and Alfie, and more to say about Amber. So this post will be briefly covering Patricia and Alfie before I go off about Amber.
Also I remembered that my original thesis was not that this characters (Fabian, Amber, Patrica, Alfie) changed per say, but that they start the first season being presented as very common stereotypes, and then as the season goes on they prove to be so much more than those stereotypes/subverting those stereotypes/tropes.
Patricia:
In my opinion Patricia's main character arc happens in season two and three and it involves Eddie. What happens in season one as she interacts with Nina and joins Sibuna is that she goes from being seen by us the audience from being the stereotypical mean girl to being an incredibly loyal friend.
Alfie:
He starts season one off as the comic relief character, and Jerome's partner in crime. When he accidentally gets involved in Sibuna, it's his chance to become more than that, and he takes it. And even before then he has the very real and heart warming conversation with Patricia about dealing with trauma.
Sibuna (and Nina because without her there would be no Sibuna), gives him something serious to do. Something more than being a punchline, something more than being Jerome's lap dog. And he leaps at it. He tries so hard to be worthy of the trust and respect that Sibuna (mainly Amber) gives him, and he hurts so much when Jerome emotionally blackmails him into failing. And I just, season one Alfie gives me the feels, you know?
Amber:
Amber starts season one being the stereotypical dumb blond popular girl in the power couple with the jock. And I think she starts the show thinking that that is all she is, and all that she can be. And her arc with Nina and Sibuna across seasons one and two is her learning that she is so much more than that. That she is allowed to be more than that. And as much as I hated her leaving in season three, I think her chasing her dreams and going to fashion school may just be the culmination of her finally realizing that she can do what she wants, and he actually knowing what that is (also she was forced out by Victor and co, but shush).
You would expect someone like Amber to be mean, and for like 5 seconds in the first episode, when she says that Nina is in her seat, she almost is. But Amber is one of the kindest people ever (not counting the way she treated Alfie in season two). And there are so many times in season one that she could have been justifiably mean and vindictive when Mara stole Mick from her, and for the most part she wasn't. The closest she really got was running against Mara for class president, and when she had the opportunity to win when Mara thought it had been rigged in her favor, Amber did not hesitate to do the right thing when learning the vote hadn't been rigged. Also by the end of the season Amber is full on supporting Mick and Mara's relationship.
I think a lot of Amber being dumb is her thinking she is. When Nina called her a genius for coming up with the name Sibuna, with the way Amber reacts, I think that may well have been the first time anyone had ever told Amber that she wasn't stupid. Amber acts less stupid over the course of the show. And I think it's not just a case of her being smarter than anyone else gave her credit for, but also a case of her being smarter than she gave herself credit for. And that moment, and Nina, and Sibuna in general helped her realize that she isn't stupid.
Amber isn't stupid. She knows when to keep a secret when it matters. She has a high emotional intelligence, she's (for the most part), really good at figuring out people's relationships and what not. She comes up with the idea to record Sara's diary. She figures out the solution to a number of clues. She's the one who figures out how to get Trudy back. She's really good at fashion. And while she's not a straight A student, the school (according to the trailer) is Britain's premier boarding school, and at no point is it indicated that she's in danger of failing anything.
Amber is smart, but when the show starts, she thinks she is, and that she's supposed to be, but thanks to Nina and Sibuna, she learns that she isn't and that she doesn't have to be.

Sibling time! Promised I’d rant about them since they won the poll and then got distracted immediately forgive me lmao. At long last though I present you lot with some sibling lore!
Ben has one older brother, William
I think he’s about 20 and going to a local art college
He’s a very easy going and sweet guy, but can still be every bit as chaotic as Ben if given the chance
He’s sneaky like that
Due to a childhood accident he’s actually paralyzed from the waist down so he uses a wheelchair, which he has absolutely painted all over
He’s also made some cool wheel covers for it but doesn’t have them on all the time
Oh! And he plays guitar
He and Ben are both adopted and were actually adopted together, but I’m not sure if they’re bio siblings or not
They just refused to be separated
Will is a master at several card games and can and will take everything you own if you challenge him to poker so just
Don’t do it lmao
He owns a cat who likes to sit on his lap while he paints and such and it’s really cute
Oh also he tastes like sweet cinnamon
Now for James’s siblings!
He’s the oldest of four, with his three little siblings actually being triplets!
Their names are Patrica, Beatrice, and Jackie
Which obviously means he calls them PB&J
Two girls and a boy, and I think they’re probably somewhere around 9 years old
Pat is the ‘oldest’ I think and she’s definitely the chaotic leader
Gal really loves to drag her siblings into all sorts of trouble
She loves sword fighting with her siblings and climbing every tree she sees
The trio always comes home covered in dirt and leaves and James is the one who usually has to wash them off
Which isn’t easy cause they bite
Well, mostly Pat bites
Bea loves arts and crafts most of all
She’ll make all kinds of little paper chains and draws over every available surface
She also likes making little fairy houses
Jackie is the little baby nerd of the group
He loves space and dinosaurs and the ocean
Little man is an expert
Pat and him love playing dinosaurs while Bea prefers pretending to be a dolphin
Little Jack is definitely the most affectionate of the lot
He loves being carried around by James any chance he gets and will cling to his back like the little monkey he is
All three adore Ben
#ta-da!#more oc lore!!#I feel like I should mention that while James’s siblings are like 9 they’re all about the same size as Ben#tol giant kiddos#anyways I love these guys and will ramble about them forever if you want so 👀#gotta do a Brick info dump next cause he got second in the poll lol#oc stuff#oc ben#oc james#oc william#oc jackie#oc patricia#oc beatrice

TECHDOG 1 Reveiw I'm doing in a day cause I don't know how to write about musicccc
*reviewed on a track by track basis, just wanted to do this, bad at writing reviews
TECHDOG:
Feels very bbep bop, the ringing noises at the beginning are a very good mood-setter for what music you're in for. The Dee- de de de Da de da daa that runs throughout the song also leads very well into the distortion that's used in the song. It's basically a car that keeps on pleasantly running into trains at railroad crossings, it also feels very insectoid in an odd way (positive). The window wiping noises that start at the halfway point are also very nice and infect the other noises in a pleasant way.
CGTHODE:
The loud train noises at the beginning are kinda obnoxious, but when the little noises start coming in and the chugs of the train start stopping every 4 quarter notes (I think?? I don’t know sheet music; that assertion vibes only) it starts paying off. The last 3rd of the song where non pure distortion instruments are introduced does really bring it all together tho. If the first 2/3rds are if how a QRcode looks was translated into sound, the last part makes it sound like you’re in a spaceship looking out the window at a nebula.
GDECHTO:
This probably doesn’t make sense but this song sounds like someone tried to hack an old PC from like the 1980s and tried to get Doki Doki Literature Club running on it and now it's dying.
THEDOCG:
The set-up noise reminds me of a combination of popcorn and fireworks, it contrasts quite well the cowbell (everything needs more cowbell in this world). This song does feel more repetitive than the others so far but I do like the de da da da daaaaa- de du da du de da- daaaa that starts repeating over and over at the end. You know like finding a shit ton of butter crystals at the bottom of a popcorn bag.
GOCHEDT:
I dunno, I kinda visualize this one as jamming out with the stranger that broke into your house cause of the thumping noises at the beginning. It also contains the bit that feels like it was sampled from happy birthday but I can’t tell and it drives me crazy. It is still very very very good- this song is particularly stimmy.
OCTDEHG:
When I first heard this song in the middle of my theater class; still very devastated when my teachers made me get scenic paint on one of my favorite pairs of pants, my first thought was of Task (also by Patricia Taxxon). It does feel like the signal noises from that but what happened after. Task was the melodious communication across a vast distance, but this felt like that same beaver (for those who don’t know there's a beaver on the album cover) going to find that source but finding technological ruin. A dark presence there to meet them, not knowing what will be found beyond the gazing mechanical eye that stares at them now. So yeah- 10/10 sequel, I am still devastated about those pants, thinking about bleach painting them.
GETHCOD:
This song continues the pattern of abrasive sound clashing up against very wonderful electronic musical noises, but it's the first one here to utilize voices. I find it odd how the sounds of humans being chopped up and rearranged into nothing burger noises can be one of the most annoying starts here. Hearing how people use singing and the human voice in music is kinda one of my favorite things about this artform, so hearing it be fucked up in such a hostile way rattles my brain. I still like it tho- that isn’t really a criticism, more my brain bein weird.
DOTHGEC:
We start with popcorn again, and the non super distorted instruments come in early as well this time. Most of those parts haven’t gotten a lot of build up in comparison to this song and I like how the added time gives it that spaceship feel that we got in CGTHODE but more like the ship is slowly breaking down and instead of making it dramatically tense, the person inside is accepting their faith and letting go. If Patrica Taxxon was a more popular artist I feel like this is the one most people would try to sample from here.
THCODEG:
This one for some reason doesn’t click with me as much as the others, I think it's just that this one pulls off the formula slightly worse than all the others so after thinking about each song individually while listening to it to write this it just doesn’t stand out as much. I do like the kinda grand feeling towards the end of the song. My first thought was actually “Dang- why do these robots keep on breaking down? Must suck for em” then someone replying “They’re made by Tesla, whaddya expect?”, “How much will it cost to repair em?” “Last time we had to replace the wheels and that was like $700, so prolly bout the same.” “$700????????” and so on and so forth. So yeah- now this song will be connected to Elon Musk in my head.
DEGCOHT:
I like the echoey bits and I like theres a snare drum in the beginning. I have nothing in particular to say though.
GECHDOT:
Agnes and Hilda is my favorite Patty Taxxon album so I love how this kinda just continues its style in a somehow more electric way. By far the best stimmy mc stimmison song in the album, 100/10- details by Greg Rutkowski- Should brought CJ the X back to have some part here cause he was a fuckin banger on I’ll Be- I need more.
So yeah- I had less to say towards the end but you know, banger shit, if the other 3 get flagged as music and auto added to yt music so I can digest them more I’ll probably go song by song on those too. But definitely not like- now. Maybe in like 2 months minimum. But yeah I really like Patricia Taxxons music and it really makes me happy. It's like the combination of my 2 IRL dogs in music form and it's absolutely perfect.
also heres my companion artwork for this:
and heres the more accessible version without the morse code:
Edit: APPARENTLY THERES A 5TH NOW!!! SHE SAID THERE WERE 4!!!! Now I’m extra behind
Edit 2.0: TECHDOG 7 IS 4 HOURS????!!!!!????!!!! HOW LONG IS 8 GOING TO BE????!!!!!!???

THE SISTER
Part 4
Fandom: Prodigal Son
Pairings: NONE
Words: 556
Description: Dahlia finds her brother
Part 3:
"Let me get this straight, you're under the impression Martin Whitley, the Martin Whitley, is your father?" Bright asked sharply.
"I'm not 'under the impression' he's my father, I know he's my father. I've met him before, when I was little, that's when he told me about my siblings." Bright scoffed and rolled his eyes.
"That's impossible." He muttered out.
"Bright, c'mon. Ma'am, Dahlia, you said you've met him before? Did he mention anything else about your siblings?" The lieutenant asked respectfully, hands folding over each other as he leaned in closer to hear her response.
"He told me I had an older brother named Malcolm, and that I had a younger sister on the way. I don't remember too much but, the one time we were in the back yard talking waiting for mum to call us for dinner and he told me about my baby sister." She paused to swallow back and emotion she couldn't quiet place.
"He said he wanted to name her Patrica after his mother, but I had just read this book, and I was enthralled with the main character, so I told him he should name her Ainsley. That it was the most beautiful name ever. He said he'd do it. So Malcolm and Ainsley, or Patrica." Her eyes glazed over as she spoke of her father, swallowing thickly she looked back at the older man.
Dahlia noticed a tremor in Bright's hand, he brought it up to his face to stop the incessant shaking. His face was hard, like he was having a hard time trying to process what she'd said.
"Who was your mother exactly." Bright asked coldly.
"She was his scrub nurse, one of the best cardio-thoracic scrub nurses in the state. They had an affair, he said he'd leave his wife, she got pregnant, he didn't leave her, he got arrested. I never saw him again, until now that is. She never told me, just left me a letter." She licked her lips nervously and tried to stop the quiver in her voice.
"It was a tough pill to swallow, the realization that my father was a serial killer. All that time, play dates and long conversations by the swing set, he was killing people. Y'know, that he didn't just disappear out of the blue cus he was a dead beat but because... he got arrested." Malcolms eyes were he'd as she spoke.
He gripped his shaking hand hard and tried to stop his mind from wandering. 'Could it really be true, could they be siblings?' 'Had his father had another secret life they didn't know about?'
"So... can you help me find them, my family." Gill stared awkwardly at her question. Glancing between her and Bright.
"Mr. Bright, your the expert, do you know about Malcolm and Ainsley." She asked, voice full of hope.
He stared back at her and but his tongue lightly before he began to speak. He needed to tell her.
"I do actually. I'm Malcolm Bright, but I was born Malcolm Whitley, Ainsley Whitely is my sister and apparently you are too." She sat there in shock.
This was Malcolm, this was who she'd been searching for. Her eyes welled with tears as she watched him. She didn't know how to feel, what to say. It was all so foreign.
Part 5: TBD

Ace Attorney Ivestigations 2
So uh, yeah spoilers for the game, but both Investigation games have been so amazing! Especially the last case in the second game! I’ll put the rest under a read more for spoilers for the game and characters.
The first, second, and fourth cases were amazing set ups for this last trial. While I’m sure the third has some significance as well, I want to focus on these three for now.
The first case had the fake assassination attempt, along with Horace Knightly killing his coworker. Even with it being the obligatory set up mission, it was still so heavy with story stuff. Shelly De Killer, an assassin who was hired by an unknown person, was set up to kill the president himself. But he had left the scene and told Edgeworth that he was set up to kill a fake target. At the end of it all, Knightly’s murder was uncovered and he was arrested.
He gets taken to the detention center but is found dead when Edgeworth, Gumshoe, and Kay were supposed to meet with him to discuss the case. Once they hear of his murder, they run to the prison to find out more. The prison is also where they meet three new people who would be prominent through the game: Raymond Shields who was Gregory Edgeworth’s, Mile’s father, assistant and now a defense attorney as well. Justine Courtney, a judge and also a member of the Prosecutorial Investigations Committee, and Sebastian Debeste, a new “prodigy” among prosecutors. The person I want to focus on is Sebastian, but that will be a bit later, though at the beginning he’s rather incompetent and a bit forgetful to the other characters.
During this case, it was discovered that the prison’s warden, Patrica Roland, was the culprit and was stripped of her title, being put behind bars herself. Though there was one other note worthy suspect, Dogen the blind assassin. It was found that he was playing chess through the mail with Knightly before he was killed. At the point I’m at now, he is missing and so it’s interesting to see where it will lead.
The fourth case, a member of the PIC and a defense attorney in her own right was killed, and the blame was pinned on Kay who had also lost her memories, becoming an amnesiac for a time. Throughout the last cases, Judge Courtney had been threatening Edgeworth to take his prosecutor’s badge and title from him as he was under scrutiny for how he conducted his investigations. During this case, however, he gave it up himself since the prosecutor’s path was blocking his way to finding the truth and helping Kay get off the murder charge.
Eventually, the real truth came out, that Blaise Debeste, Sebastian’s father and chairman of the PIC, was the one that killed the victim. He tried worming his way out of it by showing his true feelings about Sebastian, revealing that he had paid all of the teachers to give him “The Best” grades while he was going through school to become a prosecutor, all to drive Sebastian away as acting prosecutor in the case. It all was for not though as Edgeworth and company had revealed everything, shutting the case as Blaise awaited trial.
The last story is bringing everything nicely together. Edgeworth still doesn’t have his badge, Shelly de Killer told him both that his target was a fake and that his client deceived him and also that Dogen had gotten out of prison, Sebastian had still trusted his father enough to give him the decisive evidence against Warden Roland and he had thrown it away to get her a not guilty verdict, as the victim of the fourth case was supposed to be on Roland’s defense team Ray had taken over. After Sebastian ran away in tears from being told that Blaise had paid his teachers, making that he hadn’t achieved any of that work on his own, he was kidnapped by Blaise’s men by mistake as they were wanting to take Judge Courtney’s son, who was taken by a mysterious figure in a red hood who was also the one who brought Kay to the roof top of the Grand Tower.
Now what I want to focus on is Sebastian’s story arc. Throughout the game since the second case he’s been depicted as being dumb, not using the right words, and missing whole sections of evidence and testimony. Unreliable all around. But then, we get to the end of the fourth case where Blaise admits that he just never liked him, his own father. That he chose to pay off teachers and such rather than help his son really learn. Sebastian was sheltered, becoming a pawn that Blaise could manipulate in court basically.
Sebastian was understandably hurt by it all, being called worthless over and over, an idiot. But after talking with Edgeworth, he begins to realize. He first took the prosecutor’s path so he could gain Blaise’s approval, but then now, when he’s had to face the man who raised him all these years, calling him both a killer and someone who’s hidden evidence, it hurt. By Edgeworth’s gentle understanding and pushing, he’s able to find his own path, determine his own future, which surpasses Blaise in becoming a different kind of prosecutor. It’s just, such an amazing character arc. Even as he cried, he stood firm in facing against his father who probably abused him for years. The first time he’s ever stood up against him.
I’m not done, still have six episodes to go in the lp that I’m watching of this case, but I just needed to get this down. I will also talk about Gregory Edgeworth, Ray, and Miles more in another post.

The Music in Nature
Music is such a crucial aspect of many people's lives, especially mine. I think music is a powerful thing as it can uplift one's spirit, add to a memory and influence how one interprets nature. I play various kinds of music when I am going on a walk, and when I walk I like to listen to music that calms me down. Listening to this type of music always brings me back to taking a walk through a forest.
Music is all around us, and nature itself has music. Music is seen as “patterns of sound varying in pitch and time produced for emotional, social, cultural and cognitive patterns” (Patrica et al, 2001). This means that animals are constantly making music, whether it is to attract the attention of a mate through a call, or its unique roar to scare off a predator. One example of this is the humpback whale. Humpback whales are known to have a whale song that consists of rhythms similar to that of us, they can even sing in a similar note as well, and are even capable of making different types of noises. Something that I think is cool is that the songs that humpback whales sing are comparable to our music. This is also a learned trait, something that is passed down for generations; this is called vertical musical traditions (Patrica et al, 2001). These traditions are seen in human culture all of the time, I know that I got my love of music from my dad. He used to always listen to music when I was in the womb, and it's why my mom says I was trained to love music before I was even born. Every time I listen to country music it takes me back to driving with my dad blaring music with the windows down. Nature itself is another powerful instrument, for example, the crunching of leaves when animals walk over them. When it comes to music interpretation, how the audience receives the music determines if its music is not (Beck et al, 2018). My friend’s boyfriend will go out to a forest and record waterfalls, the wind whistling during a storm and more sounds to post on YouTube. They are always so well-received because, to some, this is music.
Nature always has a funny way of making it into music. I find that a lot of artists love to use nature references in their songs in the form of metaphors. One artist that I find does this well is Taylor Swift. She has many references to nature throughout her songs such as “all my flowers grew back as thorns” from Call It What You Want It or “a red rose grew up, out of ice frozen ground” from The Lakes. Finnish folk singing does this well as they are known to reflect nature. This type of singing points out nature as more than just a resource, and the lyrics discuss their nature interpretations. The artists will even take nature itself and integrate it into the background track of the song (Mallarach, 2012).
Many songs come to mind when looking back on what may take me back to nature. One of my favorite artists is Novo Amor who is an Indie artist and his song “Anchor” always takes me back to my cottage, lying on my dock, staring at the stars. When interpreting nature, music can be used to deepen the engagement of the audience. By “singing for ecology” music can strengthen nature interpretation (Beck et al, 2018). For me, listening to music always influences how I interpret nature, and I find that my interpretation is enriched by the music playing in my ear.
Nature has always played a crucial role when I am interpreting nature. I will never walk without some type of music playing in my ears, and this music influences my walk dramatically. Music is seen heavily in nature and nature can be found in music. Next time you’re going on a walk or listening to your favorite song I encourage you to find these moments where nature and music come together.

To Patrica & David from Zootopia:
What is it like raising a teenage human like Russel?
Patricia: "Oh he is just an absolutely wonderful pup!"
David: "Agreed! He's very sweet with the other pups, who all have started to look up to him."
Patricia: "Well, he is their big brother, after all."
David and Patricia smooch.
David: "Though... we have noticed that he can get a little... anxious when he thinks someone's arguing."
Patricia: "Some of the pups were watching a movie where a couple was arguing, and Russel came into the room, apparently having thought it was us. Even though dinner wasn't for another three hours, he already started to set the table and was doing some house chores... not necessarily frantically... but..."
David: "But with a sense of urgency. When we saw him doing so, he asked us if everything was alright. And it took him a little bit to settle down."
Patricia: "We gently asked him if he'd like to tell us why he felt it was necessary to do all of that, and all he said was that he was worried that we were angry when he heard the arguing, and was trying to help make things better."
David: "We gave him a big hug and explained that no one was angry."
Patricia: "And we also brought this up with Barry."
David: "Pups... who experience a lot of conflict in their early years develop all sorts of habits to help deal with anxiety, sometimes borne from ways they would try to fix or at least mitigate the conflict."
Patricia: "He's come such a long way since... we're just so proud of him!"
David: "He's a strong pup!"

remember how I said I had some idea for newsiecraft!Refuge residents? yeah here's the two children + the single adult who holds the braincell
-
Nip/Nipper - she/her - aíma demon - 16
'aíma' means 'blood' in greek, which is exactly what her species of demon is known for: being able to track anything she has tasted the blood of. Their species is also known for cannibalism, but rotten flesh works just fine.
Nip ended up in the Refuge after running away from her family, who had rather... medieval ideas what a lady should be like. While she was brought back to her family only weeks after getting brought into the Refuge, she ran away yet again after Sticks got out, this time disguising herself as a boy. This works scarily well.
Sitcks - he/him - plantborn - 20
Plantborn are a rather special species. There are two types of plantborn: specified or broad-ranged. Broad-ranged plantborn cannot create any plants, but know what every plant means, how toxic it is, and anything else about it the second they lay eyes on it. Specified plantborn can create plants, however it is limited to specific groups. This also goes for knowing things about plants automatically.
Sticks is a specified plantborn, and specializes in poisonous berries. Sticks is pretty lucky, because plantborn have no visible inhuman features, and as such was able to actually age out of the Refuge without struggle. However the second this happened Nip came by and crashed as his house. He's just accepted it, he basically became the parental figure of everybody at the Refuge anyways.
Patrica - she/they - enderian - 10
Patrica (or Patty, as Crutchie calls them) was brought into the Refuge when she was very, very young, and at the age of 7, had her eyes removed to be sold. Mostly enderians do not survive this, but Patrica did. She's considered the younger sibling of literally everybody at the Rufuge, which she's fine with. She was a only child anyways, and her family wasn't very nice. She is also unable to teleport because she has never eaten chorus fruit, which gives enderians said ability.
Despite being fully blind, she has figured out how to work her way around the Refuge without struggle. She does have a fair amount of water burns, but this is due to her being the punching bag to the older kids who misbehave. Most of them are able to take punishments, but Synder knows to use the helpless kid everybody fawns over instead. Cuts a lot deeper.
--
Nip and Sticks were bunkmates with Jack the first time he was placed in the Refuge, and this is how they became friends! When Nip was informed her parents would be coming to pick her up, she made a deal with the other two to let her bite them on the wrists, so she'd find them after they all got out.
Nip and Sticks were also the ones who started calling Jack 'Cowboy'. They find it very funny, Jack doesn't.
Patrica was one of the first times that Jack realized how dangerous the Refuge was, because Synder allowed the blinding of a seven year old. Patrica was the first kid Jack took under his wings.
Sadly, these three don't reunite with Jack until after the newsies get to Dogwarts, because there was some... stuff that came up. (read: Nip's family getting in her business, and Patrica getting really sick from lack of chorus fruit). That being said, they track Jack down and then fall back into place of being chaotic siblings to him :>
Wait, ender pearls are their eyes? I thought it was more like actual pearls, irritations in the digestive tract or something. That's why you can sometimes get more than two. Or is it that enderians have actual eyes of ender for eyes?
