Remember when Darius taunted a group of teens to try to escape, instead of telling them upfront they weren't being kidnapped, and in response they crashed his ship?

Hey! I love your Darius stuff so can I rq a (nsfw) Darius x reader oneshot :>

I don’t rlly do oneshots for nsfw (my fault cuz I’m not sure if I put that on my rules list or whatever so I might have to update it) but you can have nsfw hcs of him

OKAYYYY SO maybe I’m biased but I can see him being a switch . Maybe I’m biased . Totally . But listen 😭🙏 he probably prefers being a dom, and he’s definitely a bit of a tease. Like total asshole about it, you gotta beg for him or else he ain’t giving shit!! And he is a tease in general? Like during you have to beg but in a public space he may make a joke to tease you, especially if he knows there’s something up with you LMAO. He is quite literally the worst. He does prefer rough sex, there ain’t anything soft bout this man (I’m lying, he’s so soft and he checks up on you a lot to make sure you’re doing okay, he’s very sweet, lotsa kisses too.) he has a hard time expressing himself a lot of the time, his love for you anyway. So this is kinda how he goes about it. For the most part, he tries so hard to be sexy and cool though. As for kinks, he’s a pretty kinky guy I’d say. But of course only if you’re comfortable, surprisingly open about his kinks and very open minded about trying new ones. Which is why he’s open minded about subbing for you as well, even if he doesn’t enjoy it as much as domming, mainly cause it’s out of his comfort zone. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t love it though, cause he does. A lot! Let me tell you! When he’s a sub he’s a fucking whore lmao. However, probably a pillow princess LMAO. He ain’t doing shit for you and he keeps the teasing, he teases you saying “is that all you got?” typa deal. He’s very loud on both ends btw. As for specific kinks he likes, he doesn’t have many favorites but likes bondage a lot, it’s easy to tease you but it’s not his favorite when he’s subbing. He finds gagging to be hot, likes it either way but ? Likes it more as a sub? Oh if only you could pull his hair . He likes pulling yours tho :) brat taming is cool on both ends. Very good at sex definitely recommend he gets bitches.

So, I just watched the S3 finale of The Owl House and I have a lot to say. Spoilers ofc. Also please tell me if The Collector's pronouns are He/Him or They/Them. I use He/Him in one paragraph and They/Them in another, so please tell me thanks!

The ending for The Owl House and Amphibia felt similar (IN A GOOD WAY) with the protagonist "dying", coming back to life with grand power to end the massive threat, and then living again with the proper chance to say goodbye. I have to say, this got me crying/tearing up on a few occasions, especially with how childish and pure The Collector is. (I just realized I have to change my pfp I'll do that later) He just wants to make friends, but he's unaware of how to do so because everyone he's met has used him for their own advantage.

The Collector is one of my favorite characters because he's like me; We don't know how to make friends properly and just hope it works. They just want to help and I can't blame them, especially when Luz takes the hit for them. The fact that it took them a bit to realize that Luz was actually gone broke me. The Collector is so pure. I love them and want them to be my friend. Also, when Luz, Eda, and King were showing The Collector how they became friends, they started looking upset and during the games they played. They felt left out and I can understand that, making me relate to them more.

Raine is my most favorite character for various reasons but that's for another post. The fact that they were possessed by Belos as a puppet was like "Bitch what the fuck?!". Also, the fact that the moon sticker came off to reveal Raine's original outfit was like a punch in the stomach and I can't explain why. I wanna give props to them for fighting off the little shit that is Belos and the fact that Raine broke their violin to protect the Titan's heart just shattered me, especially since it didn't work.

Closer to the middle/end where the trio (Luz, Eda, and King) come to save Raine, they were whistling Eda's Requiem and I had to get up from my bed and just stop like "damn stop trying to break my heart" so yeah. At least they and Eda got their happy ending tbh good for them.

There are also a few things I want to point out that aren't long enough to have paragraph explanations, but I don't want to gloss over them:

Camila as a puppet was crying when Luz's light particles(?) entered The Archives, giving her that motherly instinct that her daughter is gone without her even realizing it.

The Collector was going to sacrifice themself to save everyone else in The Archives probably because Luz sacrificed herself for them.

Everyone (I think) understood that The Collector wanted to help and let him.

WILLOW'S DADS GOT TO KISS ON SCREEN AYOO???? I WAS SO FUCKING HAPPY YOU WOULD'VE THOUGHT I WAS ON A SUGAR RUSH!!!

Alador and Darius got a gay scene (okay maybe not gay but it gave off the vibes, especially since I ship them.) (The scene is during the credits when Owlbert is getting the others in The Demon Realm)

The fact that the birds just don't care that the trees on the Titan's arm are sideways and just perch there anyways is amazing.

Everyone got a glow-up and I'm here for it

I love how overly animated some of the scenes are. It makes it more immersive and energetic and I am here for it as well.

The Titan in The Inbetween wearing a Bad Girl Coven shirt and Glyph pajama pants with a little Hooty replacing his right eye is something I thought I'd never see, but I love it. He's such a dad.

The "I loaf you" message The Titan wanted Luz to give to King is such a dad thing to do and I fucking love it. Gave me something to laugh about after the angst I just witnessed.

FLAPJACK'S GRAVE

Hunter working with Eda's dad (I'M SO SORRY I FORGOT HIS NAME I KNEW IT BEFORE) in Palisman carving is just AHHHHHHHH MY HEART

Everyone growing up and doing what they love is so amazing I wish Disney didn't cancel TOH so that we could've had more exploration, especially the lore.

Raine's face is stained from Belos' goop and it looks like they've been crying forever and idk what to say.

GUS' DAD HUGGING THE ILLUSIONS BEFORE HUGGING GUS LIKE IK HE DIDN'T KNOW WHICH ONE WAS GUS BUT THE IDEA THAT HE'S WILLING TO HUG ALL THE ILLUSIONS TO GET TO HIS SON IS JUST AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

That's not all I have, but for rn it is. Tell me what you thought about the finale. If you made it this far, tell me which version of Raine I should cosplay (the original, the puppet, or the glow-up/finale version)

THE TIME OF MY LIFE

I promised a new chapter every Thursday and I intend to keep my promise. All your feedback and likes are so so appreciated.

CHAPTER1

The descent into Sydney International seemed to be taking forever and after a 22-hour long journey, I was in no mood for patience. My jittering and bouncing knee annoyed the distinguished looking man in the seat next to me , he’d introduced himself as Seneca at the beginning of the journey and one look at his sleazy smile told me , that the next 18 hours of my life were going to be an endeavor to ignore my seat mate. And If my disinterested looks and earphones weren’t enough to tell him off, I was sure my famous cold brushoffs would be quite enough. At least that’s what Gale always told me. Ahh, Gale, my stereotypically male best friend that I was sure I was hallway in love with. Gale was my first crush, on the first day of uni we got paired up for an icebreaker session. I hurt his ego by saying he was too skinny to play hulk and he shot right back by calling me Catnip. I expected for it to go all downhill from there, but weirdly enough we bonded instead. I developed a gigantic crush that just refuses to go away and he dated other girls (lots and lots of other girls) before he found his “one”, Madge Undersee.  That was off course until she stomped all over his heart and chose to move on pretty quickly. These days Gale spent most of his time moping around and being super clingy.

Pondering on my life so far seemed to be taking my mind of the creep sitting less than a foot away from me and the nervousness of what the next 6 months hold in store for me, so that’s exactly what I did. I quickly rehashed my inner monologue looking out over the blue ocean just off the Sydney coast. I was so glad that last window seat for empty and up for grabs! Anyway, here’s what I said(mentally):

“My name is Katniss Everdeen, I’m almost 21 years old, I’m from Panem , I study at the Polytechnic college with a major in Product Design , I’m doing a semester abroad program in Sydney Australia for the next 6 months , I’m going to miss my family , I love my family? I’m excited to get this ball rolling, I’m also a little nervous. “The sudden jerk of turbulence brings me out of my reverie, and with only minutes left to land I decide that this, this is going to be the time of my life and I am going to seize it.

The people here seemed so much friendlier and welcoming than back home, and their accents were adorable, the hospitality was pulling me in and I had to shake myself. Its barely been an hour since you’re here and you’re already getting soft, get a grip K! I wheeled my bags out and looked up the concourse calculating how I’d get to my new home, when a loud “Katniss!” echoed behind me. I whipped around, that voice I’d know anywhere. A little way up the concourse stood Cinna, or uncle Cinna as my mother would insist, he used to be my favorite relative before he up and moved to the other side of the world. He now beamed at me with arms open, it had been too long since I saw him and all of the emotions bubbled up and I ran into his arms, a little sob escaping here and there. An appearance of a familiar person suddenly quelled my fears, I wasn’t completely alone and this whole endeavor was going to be a walk in the park. That’s when I saw his wife standing behind, smiling encouragingly with a bundled-up baby in her arms. The cold out here was biting and Portia coming to the airport with baby Rue made me feel oh so special, especially in this weather.

“Come on squirt time to get you indoors and settled in “and with that we were off, on the car ride home we reacquainted ourselves with each other’s lives. Cinna now ran a full-fledged salon in the city and the small family lived in a cute suburban house just a few miles out of the CBD. Portia was a celebrity stylist and her flexible hours allowed her to spend more time with baby Rue who turned 1 this fall. Since the university residences wouldn’t open until next week, my first week in Sydney would be spent with Cinna and his family at their home. I settled in pretty quickly, Cinna and Portia were oh so welcoming but tiny little Rue had stolen my heart. I doubted I’d ever felt so connected and protective of a baby, save for when Prim was born.

Oh Prim! I almost forgot; it was almost time for our video call. Before I left, I promised my baby sister that I’d update her almost everyday on what I had been up to. But video calls were saved for weekends and special events. Looking at the clock I calculated the 5 and half hour time difference and decided it was too early to call home. So, I wandered into the living room, looking for something to entertain myself with. In the week that had passed I had spent most of my time outdoors, discovering the new city, going on lunch dates with Portia and stocking up of all the essentials I’d need once I moved into the dorms.

I was excited, I had been living alone for a few years as I attended Polytechnic but the whole vibe of this city was fascinating to me. The cultural diversity, the fast-paced life and the whole place in general made it seem like some kind of Hollywood production. Moving in day, dawned and it was cold. No one had warned me that Australia in June was as freezing as a tundra. But with the help of Cinna and a cute RA, that introduced himself as Darius, I was all set.  After a round of hugs and take care of your self’s I was finally left alone, not before I promised to keep Portia updated and drop in for dinner one of the days. As I plonked myself on the mattress, I let out a long sigh, here goes 6 months of new experiences I thought. Gathering up my stuff for the kitchen , I walked out only to run smack dab into a tall girl with a pixie cut and a sneer on her face , “Oh so you’re in number 8 “, she said “ Clove Richardson , the room across yours is mine and my friend Glim lives in number 1 , we’re both from the UK” she said extending her hand for a greeting. I was taken aback by the abruptness of her behavior but introduced myself nonetheless, she asked for my social media and swiftly added me to the group chat with all the girls that stayed in the apartment. I had moved into an 8-bedroom apartment in the student village right across from my campus. As she walked away, she announced that since I was finally here, we’d have a house meeting this evening.

Nodding my head, I started placing my bowls and utensils into a shelf when a quiet voice behind me startled me,” Oh I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to startle you, I just wanted to get my groceries in. “I turned around and in front of me stood a waif like girl, she had a head full of curly auburn hair and the kindest pair of green eyes I’d seen ever, something about her seemed familiar but I couldn’t put my finger down on what.” I’m Annie Cresta and you must be Katniss? “she said with an enquiring look, I merely nodded. “Wait Annie Cresta? Do you happen to know a Finnick? Finnick Odair?” I asked suddenly remembering where I knew her from, “Why yes, how do you know Finn?” she asked a perplexed look taking over her face. I started laughing at what a small world this was, explain to her how Finn and I were good friends back in school and that he had mentioned his girlfriend ‘Annie’ multiple times during their conversations. Annie smiled, a tiny hint of mischief in her eyes and asked me how I’d settled in. I rehashed my run in with Clove and that I knew Darius. She invited me to the open barbeque later this week and all I could do was nod unsurely. I may have been hell bent on getting new experiences, but I sure wasn’t an out going person to start off with. For a matter of fact, I hated parties and large gatherings, but telling sweet Annie that there was no way I’d be found dead at that barbeque was just plain mean .I holed myself up in my room until a soft knock and Annie’s voice told me everyone had gathered out in the living room .

As I looked around the room, I noticed Clove taking to a beautiful looking girl with platinum blonde locks and expensive looking clothes, that I concluded to be the Glim she had mentioned before. Annie was speaking to a girl in mechanic overalls with her hair up in a high ponytail. I smiled at Celina the exchange student from Japan, who’d introduced herself to me during student orientation. The last two girls looked like twins but with completely opposing personas. “Listen up bitches! Let’s call this meeting to order and let’s get acquainted yeah? “the one in the overalls called out. “I’m Johanna Mason. I live in room 7 and I’m a forestry major” she nodded as if to prod the rest to follow her lead. Glim turned out to be Glimmer Roberts a data analytics major, Clove was in room 2 and a Business major. The twins were in room 3 and 5 and introduced themselves as Maria and Eva Leeg. Room 4 was Annie and room 6 was Celina and room 7 seemed to be empty so far. The girl assigned to it hadn’t turned up so far. A chore roster sheet was hung up and storage shelves divided up among the residents pretty quickly and efficiently. And rule sheets were quickly passed around. Just as I was turning around Annie called to me,” Hey Kat! Sorry can I call you Kat?” I nodded and chose to let her have her way, “Finn is coming down from Melbourne this weekend, and he wanted to know if you’d like to catch up “she asked. I nodded a little overenthusiastically, I was feeling a little left out and meeting with an old friend from home seemed to be a great idea. “I’d love too, I’ll text him and let him know, Thanks Annie! “I called as I retreated to my room.

After I texted Finn to let him know he asked if it was alright to invite another friend of his that lived in the area, I understood he had little time and agreed to it. I spent a bunch of time scrolling through Instagram, looking at what everyone back home had got up to in the last week. I wasn’t big on social media but Instagram and Tumblr had always been my weakness. Getting bored of it after a while I looked up at the clock on my study table, it flashed 8:30. Still too early to go to bed, I spent a while switching from the rather useless apps on my phone before I came up on Tinder.  I had all but sworn off the app after my last disastrous date back home, but decided there was no harm in checking out what Sydney had to offer. I swiped left on multiple Chris Hemsworth lookalikes with shitty bios before I stumbled upon the account of Darius, he was cute and had seemed to flirt with me when He helped me yesterday, so I swiped right on his goofy grin and besides he had a really smart bio too. I kept swiping for a bit before another one caught my eye. His name said Peeta, and his only picture was a shot of his eyes hidden behind a thick bound book. The quirked-up eyebrow and black framed glasses added to the adorableness of this picture. His bio said “Hummus where the Peeta is” and I genuinely cracked up I swiped right just as a notification for a match came in. For a second, I thought I had matched with cute bread guy. But the notification said Darius. An unknown feeling bubbled up inside as I deleted Tinder on an impulse. I threw my phone across the bed and pulled a novel from the nearby shelf, snuggling in to read myself to sleep. But I could barely concentrate, my mind kept wandering to bread guy. I berated myself, this is what you get for opening Tinder when you’ve sworn of it Katniss! Giving up hop on getting anything done tonight, I shut the night light and burrowed under the quilts and pillows on my bed. Willing myself not to dream of fresh baked bread and comfortable arms to snuggle into.

One year a Jhin blog changed my life ( the story)

One year today I made this blog. I didn’t think it would go anywhere. I was wrong.

I’ll be honest. I was about to give up on the role play community here. After seeing how ugly drama can get on the basis of a he said she said mentality and falsified fact checking I wasn’t sure I wanted to stay here. The absolute anger some feel when lore changes and art updates alone was horribly sour to see. It put me in an uneasy place. I wasn’t in the best of relationship on a personal level and came here to escape from the abuse that it was. But what was it worth when all you see is people man hunt another person for having a differing opinion?

Either way it was a hive mind here and it was not helping me escape the situation with my ex. That was until Jhin was announced. I was infatuated with the video, art, idea and voice of him. Now I may be biased because I’m a metal gear fan and although I think Raiden is a whinny bitch (looking at you mgs 4) I love his voice. After all, I annoyed my friends when they announced project yasuo at its release. I felt the compulsion to maybe try Jhin as a blog. What harm was it going to do? I was leaving any way right? I would just go unnoticed and leave in a month any way.

Man was I wrong. The first two and thee weeks where mostly shit posting and the blood moon au with @code-thief I did have that fling with Vayne and even Zoey. At that time I was still building the Jhin I play now. I played with the idea that he wasn’t sexually gratified unless he was shooting someone (yes hello unwrite a bunch of smut for fun).And Tobias wasn’t particularly able to be killed. This was purely perfect for Jhin in my head. This was the idea I had. But the more I played with him the more I lost this idea.

Then @dunk-me-darius came into play. Now I followed Darius back with my other league blog and sat quietly watching for a year prior. I’m a scared person to approach blogs of any sort of status let alone one thar draws. Even with the past drama fresh at the time I still didn’t stop watching. The drama wasn’t mine to judge and honestly I know what was publicly known had much more to it then what we knew (iceberg effect).

Darius posted a thing asking for people to say happy birthday to another Jhin blog. I bit the bullet and sent a off anon message to this Jhin and wished them a happy birthday. After all kindness gets you out of bronze. This small gesture changed my life. Although this other Jhin and I have bad blood now, I want to thank them for helping me out of an even more toxic and abusive relationship then any of the drama I have been in and seen here on Tumblr. My animals and my sanity really benefited from it.

Now that Darius and I where talking. We started the roleplay of Jhin and Darius. This started gaining us both attention. Where as attention comes here, jealousy arises. This started gaining me some hate. Not the hate I had with my morgana blog. Oh no a whole different type of hate. Hate that would get you banned from league and the dictionary definition of #triggered hate. At first it was amusing. The unrelenting hatred people had for the ship and Darius was overwhelming all on the basis of past things that have been dealt with and buried.

Well I stuck through it even if it got bad. We moved to Skype since Tumblr freaked out every time we conversed. My inbox wasn’t a joyous +1 (in my case +12). We continued the ship, started calling one another bae for the muses. This was the escape I needed. It helped me feel happiness again. Darius was also happy (I hope) and we really made a good friendship out of it. We inspired one another. We kept making eachother laugh. Although I suck at league, Darius still played with me. Taught me some valuable things in top lane and helped me not be soo passive(although I still am because I fear letting the team down). It was great.

April is darius bithday. So I asked if it was okay to send a preset box to celebrate. Darius was more then happy and agreed. I was excited and baked some of my favorite cookies then sent them with other things. Darius received the package and enjoyed it. This was pleasing for me as I love bringing joy to others. It really helped me smile.

After months of talking and shit posting with one another, Darius and I started more then just a relationship with our muses. It was growing into a strong friendship. One where we could rely on the other for honest advice in life. That’s when Darius and I stared really referring to one another as bae on a personal level. Bae helped me with my relationship and helped me realize that my happiness was under a bandaid that I had to rip off. I was scared and bae let me take my time to do this. This was also the time we started talking about being single ship. I had already had enemies making people not talk to me so it was a good for me anyway. I already had the reputation of worse Jhin blog on tumblr so no matter what I did would result in hate.

It’s about August at this time and my mother was moving to Connecticut leaving me her house in Arizona. This was hard to do as I was mulling over the idea of a break up with my 7 year relationship and the reality of my mother ( who I’m very close with) moving 3000 miles away. This is when I asked Darius if it was okay to meet up. We agreed and started making plans.

The trip came up soon and I was getting quite excited to finally meet my bae. At this time I wasn’t too active on Tumblr because of the stress of packing my house, legal stuff with my mother and a hostile environment at home. Bae was my escape and we Skype chat often which helped me relive stress. I often would write fan fiction for bae as I was up when Darius was asleep. This fan fiction often sparked inspiration for bae and that made me happy. Bae made me feel special and appreciated which I wasn’t used to as personal life was getting heavy.

Then came the trip to Connecticut. It was long and even broke down outside of Springfield. But I talked with bae the whole time. Excited to see each other in a few days to come. At this time it was looking really good to be single ship. Then that day came. It was a cold rainy September day. Ugly in comparison to my typical Arizona sunny days. Bae was at that corner waiting for me. And what was the first thing bae said?

“ holy shit your hair IS long”

Yup that was the first thing I heard with my own ears in person.

But that didn’t matter. I finally got to hold and hug my bae. We laughed and I was silent for the first two hours. But the more we talked the more I started to realize that bae was real and perfect. We went on a date and it was more then perfect. This was also the solid go that I needed to take that bandaid off and end what hell I was living in at home. I wanted Darius in my life more and had to make the leap to bring this true.

A month later after realizing we had proper feelings for one another, we went full on single ship. This was also when I started the break up with my ex. Rip that bandaid off right? Well that bandaid gets ripped off but always ends back on making things even more complicated. Just can’t seem to understand it’s over I guess but bae has been the rock in my life. Keeping me from crumbling under the pressure although all I want to do is hide under my blanket and hope it goes away.

Bae then asked me formally to be in a relationship. Not just our muses but us as muns. I smiled and giggled to myself like a pathetic school girl and said yes. Since then in October bae and I have been dating officially. I never thought I would have ended up with a blog I admired soo much let alone dating and now LIVING with the Mun. It’s an experience I’m excited to move forward with. Even if I’m one of the worse Jhin blogs out there, I wouldn’t change a thing and do it again. Enemies and all. It was worth it and I’m now truely happy with my bae. My love and rock. Here’s to another year of shit posting and bad roleplaying.

Hello, friend!!! I hope you have been well, and your cats too 💖

Nowz for the TOH ask game... 2, 8, 16? 👀

Thank you, pal, you're so sweet and I hope you've been doing well too! 💖✨

2. Favorite episode of season 2?

Tbh S2 fucks so hard I'm not sure I can pick a favorite. I have to cheat by picking one for both the first half and second half of the season haha!

S2A might have to go to Knock Knock Knockin' on Hooty's Door, the amount of speed running plot development all thanks to Hooty my favorite weirdo, it was just insane. I remember when the episode first aired and how much it made my brain boil from what it revealed about Eda's backstory and the growth of accepting the beast resulting in her hot harpy form, the bits of world building with King's situation that continued on from what Echoes of the Past started, and obviously Lumity became canon. I genuinely expected it to take the entire show for them to start dating but no they got together about half way into the show, all thanks to Hooty meddling in everyone's business. Hooty was always one of my favs and the way he was treated in S1 always bummed me out, so this episode both addressing how excluded he felt while also having him (kinda accidentally) provide the much needed pushes for each of King, Eda, and Luz was just 🤌 the ending too omg the way everyone freaked out about him eating that letter then womp womp it ended up being a good thing he did haha

S2B I have to pick Any Sport In A Storm.

Listen. Listen. This episode is such a comfort, ok? It's got Hunter development where he finally gets to socialize (in a healthy way) with other kids, Willow gets her design update AND she's finally genuinely developing confidence in herself, "what was that?" "I SAID IT WAS COOL >:(", Skara and Viney join the group (which also allowed Skara to develop past just being a popular mean girl), "ice pack for Steve" "Steve is beginning to regret his choices", and of course, Darius. Darius my beloved, the small backstory reveal with the previous GG, "Little Prince (derogatory)" he really does canon use cute nicknames to be hostile, the abomination PJs & also the bubble bath storyboards, the DEPTH of what it meant for Darius to intervene in Hunter's kidnapping attempt so now all the responsibility falls onto him when HE DIDN'T NEED TO DO THAT HE DIDN'T EVEN LIKE HUNTER AND IT PUT HIM IN RISK INTERVENING, "I can wear this proudly now...right?" "Can you?", his extra abomination lounge chair while he gingerly kept messing with the EE, "You're gonna need to be a little more clever than that" *12 seconds later the ship crashed and is on fire all because he was too much of a difficult bitch to Tell These Actual Children he wasn't really kidnapping them*, "Do you have any idea what I'm capable of?!", "I'm impressed! I had you all wrong!", the first head pat, the scroll, " But you could still use a sewing lesson." Like. I still can't believe the pay off of that moment. I immediately fell in love with the dynamic between Hunter & Darius at the end of that episode and for the rest of the show they were never able to connect on screen again it was always a "just missed each other" thing, until FINALLY in the finale Darius ruffles Hunter's hair and then asks him about his dumb wolf shirt and 4yrs later he's Hunter's dad. I was fighting for my life for Dadrius since HM (I was more Uncle Darius after ASIAS until HM) and it PAID OFF LIKE!!!! 😭🤌

Anyway can't forget to praise the Huntlow there too, with the parallel to Willow's parents the gold rimmed glasses the "half a witch" parallels and of course, Hunter's first blush towards Willow on the bi flag colored sky. The Lumity subplot was also really funny, especially in hindsight considering Boscha's issues in FTF haha. A 10/10 episode overall

8. Favorite other character?

Ok so since this one explicitly excludes hexsquad, hagsquad, and palisman, I think I have to choose Hooty. Hooty was one of my favorite characters back in S2A, he's so hilarious and I love his relationship with Lilith so so much, they're so much like Darius & Eber to me haha!

16. Favorite Raeda moment (if you ship it)?

OK SO my pal Lolly really articulated this scene from KT perfectly here

BUT I also have to talk about the fight against Darius & Eber in Eda's Requiem because that scene of them back to back playing Their Song while Eda's curse mutated the magic around them and was going to KILL THEM rewrote my brain chemistry. LOOK AT THIS. LOOK AT THEM.

Just the palpable longing of them both looking over their shoulders at each other as they played. The animation, the music, the symbolism of it being Their Song, the shared history, the way they were willing to die together for the cause of fighting Belos and the subsequent hindsight reveal of how Fucking Stupid it would've been if they did --between King taking Eda's last name & officially becoming her son, Darius & Eber were also rebels trying to save Raine, ultimately all 3 of Raine Darius & Eber would've just been replaced in time for the DOU, like on every single level this plan was STUPID but the longing gay angst these two have for each other almost made them do it anyway.

Raine's voice cracking at the "You have kids?!" was as funny as it was heartbreaking, because it was just another reminder of how much of their lives they've been apart and how Eda finally let others in but Raine wasn't there for it nor was she ever able to do so for them before. Eda's sputtering about "Well they're not mine mine" like she WANTS THEM TO BE but she can't admit it and is still being closed off and Raine quoting Eda in reference to the scene they already quoted earlier in the episode, all cultivating in Raine letting go of Eda's hand -- like they let go of their relationship years ago -- all to save her ;___; idk pal this episode fucked me up so much when it aired and my partner still teases me when I rewatch it like "you're watching the gay episode again huh"

Anyway yeah. I have a lot of love for this show haha
