Next episode could be really interesting because though Ray is an expert at apologizing, this is the first real issue that has come up, besides the ditching-Sand-in-the-car thing, which seems relatively minor by comparison.

In that case, Ray apologized sincerely, but he threw in some puppy dog eyes and flirty jokes for good measure. But how can they return to their default flirtatiousness after all of this? Can they? It’ll take more than that to win Sand back over I’m afraid, even if he is willing to care for Ray. Something has shifted.

I just want to know what the mood of all of these relationships is gonna be next episode. Because the end of Ep6 changed the dynamics for everyone. There will be TENSION across the board, and not the sexy kind.

i get attached to people who don’t really care about me so easily

Love your au to bitss!! Gives me itches in my brain in the most /pos way possible<3

If you don't mind I might make some oc insert stuff with your au in the future! Although a small question before I do that–

What if Frank and Eddie (+Howdy hehe) already have children. Like these kids were just other neighbors in the show that somehow didn't get sucked into whatever dilemma the cast are now in. The kids are just lost somewhere and the dads just miss them. What would Peony think when she finds out about them through the dads? And would she accept new siblings 👁️👁️

And yeah that kinda makes Fionn a grandpa lmao

Thanks so much!! <3 And go for it, draw OC inserts I love em!!

I need to work on it more, but Frank, Eddie and Howdy do get children in one potential "ending" to the AU, as in the puppets manage to go home and their world greets them back magically - and when Frank and Eddie go home, they go upstairs and find this lil goober as a baby:

Meet Florian!! An exact blueprint of Papa Eddie in every sense, this lil guy, when not taking naps left right and centre, is accompanying Eddie on his post rounds, helping him deliver letters like his papa would with his mother when he was young! He loves all three of his dads, playing with Father Frank and clinging to Daddy Howdy while he works!

I should also mention that in this ending, Fionn, Cassidy and Peony find a way to go to Home and magically become puppets, and well -

Let's say Peony wasn't too thrilled meeting Florian at first

Casually lurking in Sailor Moon fandom and when I see posts mentioning the Shitennou's knightly titles, I think the translation are off. I don't know if those are just fansubs being wonky, or if even the official ones are not entirely correct...

I've also seen some posts say that "I don't understand what these means". The knightly titles are based on the image and properties associated with each gemstone in Japanese (so, if it has different meanings internationally, it's quite beside the point).

Jadeite: Knight of Resilience 忍耐 and Harmony 調和

忍耐 is often translated as "Patience" in fanworks. 忍耐 is better translated as "resilience", "perseverance", or "endurance". Even when colloquially used to say "be patient", the connotation of it is more along the lines of "endure this". The Harmony one is correct.

"Resilience" is because jadeite jade is the harder jade. "Harmony" because of its traditional usage in spiritual matters, so jade in general has the image of "peacefulness".

Nephrite: Knight of Wisdom 知恵 and Peace 安らぎ

This one makes me kind of laugh because of what Nephrite is like as a character/person. I almost always see 知恵 translated as "Intelligence". It's not wrong per se, but this term here refers to something deeper than just brain smarts, thus "wisdom". Things like wisdom that come from age, or innate perceptiveness, and so on.

安らぎ is peace, as in "inner peace". Basically, "serenity", though it's probably not a good idea to use this word in Sailor Moon for obvious reasons.

Nephrite being the native jade of China, it has been given very sagely meaning to it that persist even in Japanese symbolism. That's why it's like this, for somewhat similar reasons to jadeite's "harmony".

Kunzite: Knight of Virtue 純潔 and Benevolence 慈愛

純潔 can also mean Purity or Chastity. 慈愛 is sometimes translated as Affection, which is also not entirely wrong. It's just that the standard meaning is benevolence or mercy. "Affection" tends to be used in the context of parents and children. In this context probably not the best meaning to use.

This gemstone is associated with the Holy Mother Mary, of all things, that's why it's got very saintly imagery associated with it.

Zoisite: Knight of Purification 浄化 and Healing 癒し

The most straightforward one so I've never seen any wonky translation with this one. Those who are into healing crystals might already know this, but this title is based on the healing and purification qualities that a blue zoisite/tanzanite supposedly have.

dan and phil games coming back for an entire day-to-day month and dipping again feels like an actual fever dream like atp i'm questioning if it really happened or if we all collectively made it up 5 years too late in order to cope

Kinda obsessed with the way the blurb for the first episode describes her as “lone-wolf warrior Mizu” and she gets to lone wolf it all of what, one scene? before Ringo attaches himself to her and from there she barely manages to get five minutes alone at a time for the entirety of the rest of the show. some lone wolf. just, the way she attracts people despite desperately trying not to is amazing. most of episode one she spends trying to ditch Ringo and failing. episode three she has Ringo and now Taigen following her around and being bitchy. by four Akemi’s caught up to her. episode six is the first time she’s really lone wolfed it since episode one and even then she picks up Taigen in the dungeons so the lone wolfing doesn’t even last an episode. episode seven is the go home to Sword Father and include all the people who touched me in my totally lone wolf travels in my reforging episode. Just, the way Sword Father says “perhaps the people you collected” but really, who collected who?

im not making an au out of this (I don't wanna figure out the logistics of it) but I think I kinda went off with this loop design so enjoy a doodle sheet

i am very susceptible to crack aus

To be loved is to be changed, but would you still love me if I changed?

Fun question for comic fans: What's the comic that made you like your fav character? Like, the comic that made them go from Just A Guy to If Anything Happened To Them, I'd Kill Everyone in This Room And Then Myself.

How would you describe ex boyfriend gojo?

you know that one video of that guy that was like crying screaming throwin up begging his gf to take him back 💀✋🏼😭

ex bf gojo FOUND IT

^ yea that’s how i picture he’d be as an ex LMFAOOO

idk i feel like he’d go thru all stages of grief in the most heightened sense possible, like dude is SO dramatic that having him as an ex would probably be worse than whatever he did to make you break up w him in the first place

i can see him being kinda toxic like still really possessive over you n you’re like 😐 dude we’re not together anymore u have got to cut this shit out. and he’d have a rebound relationship within a week of yall breaking up n he’d play that girl for a FOOL 😭🥲😓 just picturing she’s you whenever he’s w her (literally ‘glimpse of us’ by joji omg im gagged) to the point where you’d be compelled to get involved for HER sake like……..

but idk this is all speculating he did some fucked up shit n you’re the one ending things because of it. would NOT be a clean break fs

"aromantic matt murdock" i say into the microphone as the feedback proceeds to echo throughout the empty auditorium and shatter my ear drums
