angel complaining that they haven’t been able to find a certain book in any stores and every time david goes out to run errands he stops at a bookstore to see if they have it (angel insists it has to be paperback, which the store never has. it makes david want to pull his hair out when he sees the cover only to find out it’s a hardback)
one day he spends the entire day driving to every place in town and finds it in a tiny little used bookstore he’s never even noticed before. getting home and just putting it on the arm of the couch next to angel while they’re playing minecraft before walking away without saying anything, when they look over to see it they’re just :D !!!
david watching their eyes light up from across the room as they start flipping through the pages, reading the blurb on the back cover (like they haven’t read it a billion times in the store and online), just holding it and smiling like an idiot (david’s chewing the inside of his cheek to keep from wearing the same big stupid smile on his own face, he likes seeing his angel happy)
I'm on the precipice of sleep rn from listening to Regulus' sleep aid, but I just realized something. Regulus' uninformed, unempowered listener knows more about D(a)emons and their history than D.U.M.P. does, even if they aren't aware of it. I just found that kind of funny.
sometimes plans just do not work. sometimes plans just fail. i would love to see blake’s listener come face-to-face with brachium; they have a brief conversation, similar to the one him and sunshine had. brachium informs the listener on what blake's done and how they'd like to proceed.
they take all of this in... just let go of the riverbank, willingly succumbing to the death river. them being alive would be walking proof that their fucked up ex-friend's plans succeeded. those poor people that he hurt don't deserve that — his listener doesn't even know who they are. but all in all, he would win. blake had taken so much agency out of their own life, done all of this behind their back — so this is their shot of taking control of the situation for once.
i want blake to see his plan crumble and for elliott and sunshine to make it out in one piece, together. i think we all deserve the satisfaction of watching blake realize that there are forces in this existence that are out of his control. death is gracious and inevitable, elegy is the lament of the dead.
being the best friend since birth he can read David as easily, he gets what he needs easily. Like cmon this is the man that literally devised a whole plan to spend time with his best friend on Halloween. “I know it’s silly but it’s how he works and he’s my best friend” LIKE BRO CMON he could’ve just brought babe to the door but he knew that would make David feel pressured.
Like the result would be the same even if he did just stood with babe at the door but it’s just the fact that he didnt do it so David would feel comfortable.
And after David lost his dad we all know he pushed everyone away, milo even said it that he didn’t think pushing him would be right cause he was no longer just David but the alpha of the pack. David has mentioned too that when his dad died he practically lost everyone cause the title was suddenly thrust upon him and every dynamic changed, yet ash stayed.
Now I’m sure half the reason he did was cause he wasn’t ready to give up their dynamic either but let’s be honest, David was an asshole after all that, and I don’t blame him like he’s had it rough; I just find it so…endearing? Idek the right word- so asher of ash to still stick with him and be there for him through what? Years of David prolly shutting him out or just being mean. He still pushed through that cause even though their relationship is alpha and beta now, he’s still his best friend.
Granted he sucked at properly establishing that dynamic at first but i just admired that he kept trying for so long.
Then there’s milo saying that ash is a pain in the ass half the time but he does take his job seriously. I don’t remember if it’s ever been properly said but I’m pretty sure asher overworks just as bad as David (the pampering video proves it) He’s just a stubborn sht (no surprise) who just wants to help out any way he could even though he doesn’t properly know how to but it’s okay cause he will figure it out as he does it 👍
Just further proves milos point that he will take his job seriously and he will help David out anyway he can even if it costs him hours to figure out that sht
I could go on a whole lotta more sht like defending milo or, being hesitant to use his authority to make Christian shut up, milo literally saying he can detect if something is bothering someone and help them feel better but I will stop here cause I’m actually sleepy
