hmmmmm hey celia? celia darling? what makes you pretty sure that the cases are real? why would you think that? do you have any evidence? any personal experiences, mayhaps? something to do with a carousel or a burning ghost or a cult in the tunnels under a specific institute, maybe? hmm?
Now that it is 413, I am here to recommend one of my favourite podcasts of all time, Homestuck Made This World. Whether you like Homestuck or not, whether you have read it or will not go near it for the rest of your life, it is worth a listen. Especially for tumblr aka the media literacy website lol
for some absolutely inexplicable reason, the arthur lester / john doe interactions in malevolent just give me SUCH a kitten ill be honest daddys gonna kill himself vibe and i CANNOT explain why
thinking abt amity somehow finding luz and hunter in this timeline... insane.
shes at the door and her and hunter immediately start cursing at each other like??? what the fuck?? and since i bet amity would be in her scout uniform, i think camila would make some quick deductions. (they sent a child to kidnap my children? hello?)
but then luz comes at the door and is like "!!! amity!!!! :D" and instead of hunters usual insane protectiveness hes. oddly ok with this? and it takes exactly five seconds of amity and luz looking at each other for camila to pick up some vibes. (is the cult.. not homophobic? is this why her and hunter arent a thing? (shes wrong but efforts appreciated))
thinking about camila trying to glean the specifics of luz and hunter's paramilitary bunker doomsday death basement cult through context clues is So Fucking Funny. this poor woman. she's like statistically speaking they were almost certainly fundie christians but like. WERE THEY NOT FUNDIE CHRISTIANS??? luz doesn't even know who jesus IS.
i think if amity showed up at the door, after everyone had been introduced and it was established that there was no danger, camila would privately sit luz down and be like, "okay. luz. baby. you know i don't push you to share things you aren't ready to, you know i want you to feel safe and comfortable here above everything else. but luz. if there's, like. an entire schoolyard worth of kidnapped children living out in your former basement being tortured by a cult somewhere. Do You Understand Why I Need You To Tell Me About That,"
I apologise in advance for how much John Robins spam there will inevitably be from me when series 17 airs. I just love him a lot okay? And I'm so excited for new people to be introduced to him!!!
