16/DEC/20XX

𝘵𝘩𝘶𝘯𝘬.

i hit the floor like a sack of bricks.

this time, of my own volition.

i pushed myself upright, choosing to ignore where my head had apparently been this whole time.

rolled onto my side (landing on the floor) to stop my phone's ringtone from waking tori.

i quietly stepped into her bathroom to muffle the sound,

" 'sup?"

"Are you..."

before i realized i'd enabled my camera in my barely-awake stupor.

"...At Toriel's?"

a "shit." stumbled out of my mouth as i slapped my hand over the camera. i let my hand drop a second after, as this was now pointless.

alphys snorted at my reaction.

"Sooooooo?"

with the intonation of someone trying to elicit more information.

"you first. you called me."

"My reason was 𝘸𝘢𝘢𝘢𝘺𝘺𝘺 more boring than whatever's going on here."

"So you're spending the night?"

"Tell me about that."

"tell me why you called, first."

"I was just gonna ask if the device was working properly."

"seems to be."

i tried not to linger on the memory of what was happening seconds prior to it going off yesterday.

"Anyway. What are you two up to?"

"Having fun with your 'sleepover'?"

"don't put air quotes on it. sleeping's been most of the activity."

she raised an eyebrow.

"nothing else to it."

"So did this just happen or did you plan a sleepover?"

"kinda just went from magic demonstration to this."

"you already heard about how undyne's went, right?"

"pretty tiring."

"ended up conking out here instead."

"And you just decided to stay?"

"yep. she's got a real comfortable couch, y'know."

"I'm sure that's the only reason. Mhm."

"sofa's just that nice."

"say, how'd you immediately know i wasn't just in my room or something?"

"I know you sleep in boxers. Currently, you're fully clothed, so I knew you weren't home."

"You're most certainly not 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦."

"fair point."

"anyway. i'm gonna go back to this couch sleepover."

"seeya, nerd."

"Tell me more about it later!!"

"nope."

——

quietly returning to the living room, i checked to see if she was still asleep.

tori was hugging the pillow i'd not ended up using for more than a few hours last night.

i tiptoed to the kitchen with one goal in mind:

eggs.

eggs are something that even a shabby cook like me can (hopefully) do.

ideally, they'll be omelettes.

really, they're probably ending up scrambled.

——

didn't hear her get close, finally noticing she was awake when she put her hands on my shoulders.

her face met mine when i looked up.

"Good morning, Sans."

"mornin'."

"you like cheese in your omelettes?"

"I do."

she looked at the pan.

"...That is an omelette?"

"sorry."

"𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦-in' you down with my cooking skills, here."

"I do not mind. Omelette or no, it will be 𝘦𝘨𝘨𝘴-tra special coming from you."

"do you have tortillas? could make 'em into wraps instead."

"Oh! We should, somewhere."

"I have bacon bits we can throw in as well!"

"bacon bits?"

"now we're talkin'."

"you're really a lady after my own heart."

out of the corner of my eye, it looked like a surprised expression flickered across her face, but immediately disappeared.

"Thank you for making breakfast. This is very sweet of you."

"consider it payback for yesterday's."

'sweet' isn't something i usually get called.

can't say i hated it at all.

——

instead of being able to focus on what we're watching, my mind is concentrated on tori.

she's running her fingers along my joints, taking everything in; such that you'd think she'd never felt another hand before.

a part of me wants to pull my hand back, say it's too much for me.

but the stronger part of me doesn't want it to end at all.

something that's so distracting for me isn't seeming to pull her attention away to the same extent.

she's normal about this.

i should be too.

——

"Is something on your mind?"

"kinda think i should get a shower too, but i don't have any spare clothes with me."

"You could ask if Papyrus will bring some."

"nah, don't wanna make him come all the way over here again just for that."

"guess i can just wear the same clothes."

"Would lending you something of mine work instead?"

"shirts are probably the only thing of yours that'll fit me."

"I could wash your current clothes along with my laundry."

"i'd have to hang out in your bathroom 'till it's done."

"Would you be comfortable if I were to give you a large shirt to wear in the meantime?"

"just shirt?"

"A very large one."

"don't know how i feel about bare-bones-in' it down there."

"I do not think you'll fit into any of 𝘮𝘺 underwear..."

she gave a playful smirk.

"You're open to try."

"should i put on a bra, too?"

ended up just going with the shirt.

lame, i know.

——

"It fits a bit like a dress, does it not?"

the shirt stopped just barely at the top of my knees.

"shortest one you've put me in so far."

"I could go get a real dress."

"nnnope."

"i'm good."

"You would look good."

"sorry, but we'll have to play fashion doll some other time."

"i've got a couch to go sit my bare ass on."

she cackled.

"Out of anyone, I suppose I would much prefer it be a skeleton doing that."

"really though, i'm gonna go put a towel on under this."

"Alright. The wash is started, so it shouldn't be too long."

——

sitting next to each other is suddenly very precarious, as i am apparently the king of overreacting.

i accidentally bumped my leg against hers, and flinched like i had been shocked from it.

i need pants.

——

thirty minutes left on the wash.

getting a shower here made me realize that i'm somehow staying another night already, without even a second thought.

"......."

"i should go home, right?"

"No!"

"...It is late, already."

"You may as well spend the rest of the night."

"Please, do stay with me."

"...ok."

——

is it odd to say i sleep better here than my own bed?

Can we talk about the reference to cinema in Lucky Again? I was watching a reaction to FITF (I can't stop) from someone who didn't seem to know much about L/H/1D and she said "who is this man selling tickets at the cinema?" I had to laugh. Also after the leak I thought it was "they're selling tickets at the cinema" but the lyric book says THERE which really changes how I interpret that line. What do you think?

I think yes. When we did not have the official lyrics yet I thought it was

If you believe that guy is superman

They're selling tickets to the cinema

followed by "whatever gets you through the darkest night" which I thought was a bit shady, saying yeah if you think highly of that guy and all his behavior then you go over there and buy what he's selling you, you go watch that movie, you go entertain yourself with those thoughts if that helps you I guess whatever, but then it flips and but just find the light out of that madness like find your way back to earth (you're not superman) because that ain't real life.

I think both Louis and Harry use "Cinema" in the same derogatory way, in part, because I think both songs have a lot of layers to them and yes Harry's song Cinema has a ya nasty layer which is great and gay I think it also has another layer of looking at that recently luckily called off stunt where, not only did they work on a movie and it was mostly for the movie, also the whole PR fuckery around is was another movie in itself, a fake story, baby that's Cinema, that's some performative shitstorm dumpsterart, that's some narrative for you there, and well go on be entertained by it sheeple. It's passive aggressive and I love it.

Now back to Lucky Again and the actual lyrics:

If you believe that guy is superman

There selling tickets at the cinema

HA so the believed superman is the one selling the tickets. So.. thinking someone's all that because they're trying to sell you things? Trying to get you to buy the movie, the story. It's not just that dude over there is doing these great things you go watch it no he's also the dude that's the face you meet at the front desk there to sell something to you. Whether that something is a fabricated story/world (the CINEMAtic universe of the entertainment industry idk bro we're going places) or just mindless entertainment or even a specific reference to the song Cinema (which in turn takes you to the other points in my opinion so the only added layer is larry here which great good lovely). And then the contrast to that guy being superman vs him being a hard man, and that superman is standing right there vs him being a hard man to lose/find. And how that guy can be himself, either the public version or the version he thought he was or thought he had to be, but also the "you", but also another party that's selling a life to him/"you"/them both (like wow guys look fame isn't it shiny for instance), or a general figure selling a story to the general public.

But I also wanna talk about the other references of that line: hello DC universe I know way too little about. He's going from "Superman" to Batman with "the darkest night" -> The Dark Knight. With that I'm seeing the whole batman-joker-twoface-DC-cinematic-universe come to life in this verse or perhaps whole song, with the themes of madness ("madness is like gravity, all it takes is al little push") and luck (the lucky coin / leaving things up to chance and living for the chaos deciding mad actions based on a coin flip / "you make your own luck" all that) and find the light (batsignal lol), "before the world it got so serious" ("why so serious"). Like they're not directly related or not that I've cared to figure out because I don't think that would make much sense either but they're the famous quotes and this song's hitting all them keywords and I love the idea of him playing around with this stuff. There's probably a lot more to say about this, maybe for someone to whom this is the crossover of their dreams could write an essay about this lol it's not me.

And also of course the use of superman; implying that guy can do everything, achieve everything, do everything at once, be more than any mere human, be beyond mortal lol, nah he's just another guy. He's just that guy, and the "I" is a hard man (to lose/find) even, and the "you" has been working hard to be themselves, and then he's bringing it further back down to earth with lines like "I'd meet you at the favourite subway stop / we'd grab some food and meet the lads for one". Like a wise man once said "I can't be no superman, but for you I'll be super human".

Also wanna highlight the wordplay with "I'm a hard man to lose/to find" + "I was lucky once / I could be lucky again" -> hard-luck, aka unlucky, in a bad situation out of your control. This throughout the whole song, basically saying you're down on your luck without directly saying it "you give until it's gone away", "I see how hard you've worked [to be yourself]", "i made my way back", "[the time] it got away from us", "find the light out in the madness hold tight" I think all imply bad luck, but he's choosing (let's bring in "made my way back to a life I would choose") to focus on the positive, on how the luck can turn in his favor instead.

And then the other reference: "whatever gets you through the darkest night" -> John Lennon's Whatever Gets You Thru The Night, he mentioned this song together with Mind Games (again the song that holds the phrase "Faith In The Future") in a tweet at some point, and some more times throughout recent years, so I think at the very least it's something he was aware of writing it lol.

Also darkness vs light keeps coming back in his lyrics, on FITF alone but we could be bringing in other songs, also 1D and other's lyrics too, it's too much to go in to on top of all these points now but I just at least wanna mention that's a thing too and it's overwhelming :D

I don't know how to end this because I feel like we can ramble on about these things forever lemme end on The Dark Knight Rises -> I'm A Hard Man. :D :D Get IT :D :D

GUESS WHAT'S FINALLY HERE BITCHESSSSSSSSS!?!?!?

after a rollercoaster of a week for me y'all have NO IDEA how happy this makes me to say but

THE TRAILER FOR SEASON 5 IS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and that means looking far too much into it!!!!! :D

OK so I have A LOT of thoughts so I'm going to do bullet points

right off the bat (hehehhe bat) nandor never fucking change XD love how he thought that would work

oh yeah speaking of nandor we have a scary lack of him in the trailer or at least what he's going to do this season (mom pick me up I'm scared for my cringefail)

to say what's on everyone's mind OH MY FUCKING GOD FINALLY LET'S GOOOOOOO

MY BOY DID IT HE'S GOING TO BE A VAMPIRE DFOJWEBOKFHEJBKGREHIWLGJHIGKFEIYWLEGUKFELIQPEGDFKIELYUQ;OWDGFKLHI3U1;O

well at some point? by the looks of it we're kinda getting a have your cake and eat it too when it comes to guillermo being a vampire and ngl kinda upset about it if it's going how I think it's going

I swear if he's practically normal until the very fucking end I will raise HELL

also I love how chaotic his turning is XD

"I WASN'T READY" NOBODY IS

colin for office babyyyyyyyy

I see everyone talking about colin and nadja BUT WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS IJRBH302HGOUFRHI3YGUFE3HI2PUO LMFAOOOOOOO XD

also (DON'T QUOTE ME ON THIS) I think this is the first time we're seeing colin flirt/do anything remotely romantic or whatever to a dude in the show (which confirms that every main character is queer but we already knew that lol)

the scene with the microphone woke me up (well so did vamp guillermo but the mic REALLY woke me up)

so the guy in the promo WAS nandor huh

WLW NADJA LET'S GOOOOOO

love how outdated laszlo's medical stuff is

YAY HE'S NOT GOING TO WEAR ONLY SWEATERS SO HE'S POSSIBLY NOT GOING TO GO BACK IN CHARACTER AS I FEARED

d-did nandor bring guillermo to a basketball game out of jealousy?

IS THAT A HAMMER!?!?!

NANDOR WTF ARE YOU GONNA DO!?!?!?!?!?!??!

nadja pouring coffee on her date's plate XD

ayyyy the sire!

ok I'm assuming part of nadja's and colin's plots will revolve around getting a date??????

THE MALL

I'VE BEEN WANTING TO SEE THE VAMPIRES AT A MALL FOR A WHILE NOW JBIFEWE2OBJFEOGHPI2EFBEJOHIP2E THIS MAKES ME SOOO HAPPY

I'm assuming the store nandor is at is a hot topic/spencer's stand in

if it is PLZ LET THERE BE A LOOKING AT THE BACK OF SPENCER'S SCENE (for those who have never step foot in a spencer's it's basically a common mall store that has edgy shit and the back is known for having sex toys and other nsfw shit in it think of it as the edgy older brother of hot topic)

"that's how we all learn" UHHH TF!??!

glad to see laszlo accept guillermo and help him learn how to vampire :) (let's hope the others will)

also NANDOR YOU SAW NOTHING

DAAAAAAMN COLIN JESUS FUCK

by the looks of it nadja and colin's plots will at some point involve dating??????

AWWWWWW charmaine is supportive of sean

this has been said a million times but NANDOR IS FUCKING CUTE IN HIS SEAN COMING OUT OUTFIT!!!!!! THE LITTLE BELLY!!!!!!!

if I remember correctly (AND I REALLY HOPE I'M WRONG) but the last time we saw nandor THIS happy was during the wellness canter cluster fuck so I'm REALLY glad he's going to be happy this season

YOOOO SEASON 4.5?????? (1 I know it was a talk show in 4.5 2 yeah I made this joke already XD)

WHY IS NADJA A BLONDE?????

theory: whatever happened the guide is happening to nadja

the only thing to back it up: they both be blonde

AW SHIT WHY IS THERE A COP CAR?????

THE GUIDEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

COLIN X NADJA!?!!!?!?

I MEAN SURE I GUESS???????????????

YEAH SAME GUILLERMO

I'm assuming that what he said is in reaction to him being told he's a dhampir or he's immune or something like that

SHE'S TRYING TO GET SOMEONE TO FUCK HER GHOST

hUh weird but ok????

and finally WHAT'S WITH THE MOON SHIT?????

theory: guillermo only shows signs of being a vampire at night which is why he can go out during the day without being burnt to a crisp

overall IJOHEU2P1HIWJBGEU21RPHI2JLGRHILUFHIPUWEQJFU9WGFJDKHIEPQKFVDVGJR THIS HAS BEEN ON MY MIND ALL DAY HOW TF AM I GOING TO BE NORMAL I HAVE A PARTY TODAY?????? 😭😭😭

HE DID NOT JUST SAY THAT!!

This is a shorter reaction post, but I have to just...

STILES NO!!!

STOP IT!!!

I KNEW YOU WERE GONNA DO THAT!!!

STOP THAT!!!

"Allison's dead. Now I guess the only good thing is it looks like I'm dying too."

STILES NO!!!

STOP IT!!!

BABY NO!!!

They CAN'T lose you too. They CAN'T.

You HAVE to understand that.

Losing Allison broke Scott, but losing you would SHATTER HIM.

And the rest of the pack would go right down with him.

It is NOT a good thing that you're dying. Not at all.

So STOP THINKING IT, and LET US STOP IT.

Holy f*ck.

I knew his guilt complex was gonna be bad, but I wasn't expecting him to say it like THAT.

Stiles no.

Please stop blaming yourself.

None of this is your fault, and we're gonna figure it out, okay?

OKAY?!

F*ck me.

(The quote's not there, but the emotion is, and F*CK I HATE THIS!)

Hahaha so the "physical medicine and rehabilitation" guy that we'd been hoping would finally give logan a real evaluation, went through all his notes history, and decided he just has a somatic disorder :). Which is code for "thinks everything is more than it is and is actually an expression of mental illness". Literally looking it up it's the "we haven't found what's wrong with you so we're assuming it's not really a problem" disease. And put on the note he's advising ALL of the people treating him in any way--therapist, physical therapist, pcp, different specialists--of this, and not to approve any treatment or testing pretty much. This when he's been constantly deteriorating because he's hardly recieved any useful treatment, has had to wait months and months for each appointment that doesn't go anywhere, and currently is having new horrible symptoms with muscle contractures and spasms, as well as constant migraine and worsening stomach issues, and none of it is controlled. The CTs for head and stomach that were ordered a month ago and were urgent then, have kept getting fucked up between insurance and the doctors office and outside testing labs that his insurance makes him go through. And now this will probably make that harder.

And his reasonings were disgusting. And he obviously decided this from the beginning bc he cherry picked anything that was dismissive of him from any notes, notes every mention of mental illness, starting with trauma as a kid, to just any mention of having had anxiety ever. Discredits or conveniently leaves out any notes that would disprove or not support this conclusion. The things that made looking for help exhausting and difficult and un fruitful this whole time are being used against him--tests that reported something objectively wrong, doctors who just wrote the wrong thing in the notes, the fact that no one ever did any investigative work, he HAD to look stuff up and ask them to evaluate for it!

And 90 percent of this I think came down to he was weirdly pissy at logan using the term "spasticity" which he says "has a very specific definition". Logan actually does research on this stuff (which I've heard is something often used against you in this exact situation) but even things I've looked up describe symptomatically what he's having. If we're wrong, that's bc we ARENT doctors and colloquial use is all we have to describe the symptoms! It's your job to evaluate further, not to get mad at him for using what you assume is the wrong term! And only started realizing that might be what's happening because a DIFFERENT rehab doctor said he needed to see a spasticity clinic bc that's what was happening!

Also misgendered him several times. And implied that treatments not working were also evidence, without asking why (i.e. "noncompliance" with CPAP, bc he's been ordered but has had trouble getting a bipap--even for me, the pressure they had it set to ramp up to makes it feel impossible to breathe). Or for having a reaction to different medications.

Basically the first evaluation he had for eds he was sent to a rheumatologist for, bc they do joints, and she didn't fully evaluate him and did not know what eds was previously. And he quoted back to her saying he didn't qualify every time another physician noted EDS.

I was vaguely worried about this ever since his pcp mentioned that the guy "wants to spend time evaluating you himself and looking through testing as opposed to taking other doctors word for it". But he didn't evaluate him past a couple of hypermobility checks and basic neuro exam. He spent most of the time with logan trying to get his testing from another hospital uploaded, bc despite using the exact same interface, it's really difficult to access everything from the other hospital. We turned in the cds to records but I guess that hasn't done anything yet.

Anyway between being terrified what this will do to his current treatment that's barely managing symptoms, we finally got with people who are helping us get a medicaid waver--which we thought before we didn't qualify for, but she thinks we will--for me to be paid as a caregiver, get other home health and a case manager, help getting a ramp finally. And the people i spoke to were helpful and awesome and seemed to be wanting to get the most help possible and shit. But one of the questions she asked for the paperwork was if he sought a lot of appointments for appointments sake, which this guy seems to imply. And which makes me think this diagnosis/coding/recommendation is going to mess that up too. I don't even know what to do. I know this happens to people but from what I've seen it's horrible trying to get past it, if you ever can, and seeking new doctors once yours are poisoned against you makes it look worse!

#dont want to rant anymore to logan bc atm hes trying to distract himself so doing it here #going ti have to spend the weekend when we needed to do a ton of other stuff going theough those notes #to hopefully have a good case when he sees his pcp tuesday #cant send a message bc apparently this guy can also access all of those

I did it! I read the *entirety* of Historia regum Britanniae by Geoffrey of Monmouth.

Would I recommend reading the whole thing? I'm not really sure. I think the original founding of Britain by the Trojans is kind of interesting to read about. Then it gets markedly less interesting for a while, with some gems such as a necromancer king and his school of necromancy, and a number of very powerful queens which I also didn't expect from a medieval Chrisian author (but he may have been writing in support of Matilda as heir to the throne during Geoffrey's time). Eventually the Arthurian section begins, and that's a reasonably engaging read. Certainly all the lead-up provides *context* for Arthur's reign.

Michael Faletra's translation was highly readable and I'd recommend it, though it can be a little hard to find. (The only ebook version I found still actually available was on Google Play books. Couldn't find it on Kindle or iBooks.) I found Faletra's introduction and translator's notes as interesting (or more so) as the book itself, and his copious footnotes are very helpful at providing further context.

The biggest bonus to Faletra's translation, though? The appendices! He has a translation of the Vita Merlini (Life of Merlin) by Geoffrey of Monmouth, as well as translations of relevant excerpts from Welsh poems, pre-Galfridian texts, medieval reactions to Geoffrey's History, and so on.

If you're just interested in the Arthurian-specific bits, Geoffrey of Monmouth dedicates about 1/5th of the text to Arthur. I'd start with Book 6 (they're called Books but they're more like chapters, very short); Arthur's father Uther shows up a few pages into it. You'll get the introduction to Merlin, the whole reign of Vortigern, and the influx of Saxons across the kingdom which sets up for one of the big achievements of Arthur's reign.

Book 7 is very Merlin focused, and covers his prophecies. They're obscure, as prophecies often are. Faletra's footnotes contextualize the ones that reference events prior to Geoffrey's time, which is handy.

Book 8 covers Uther, Gorlois, Igerna (Igraine in later texts), and Arthur's conception and birth along with his sister Anna (later called Morgana, I'm guessing). All of Uther's reign. The reign of Uther's brother Aurelius comes first though.

Book 9 is the really Arthur-focused book. We get his kingship, the shield Pridwen, the "greatest of swords" Caliburn (later Excalibur), and mentions of Avalon. We're also introduced to Gawain and Mordred, sons of Loth, who was married to Arthur's sister Anna. Arthur marries Guinevere, born of a Roman family and raised in the household of the Duke of Cornwall. And then Arthur works on conquering practically the entirety of Northern Europe, and his court becomes a popular destination for glory-seeking young men wanting to be knights. We additionally meet Bedivere the Cup-Bearer and Kay the Seneschal, and travel to Caerleon.

Book 10 is a conflict with Rome (with whom Britain has had a long and complicated history before this point in the Historia). Arthur leaves Britain to Guinevere and Mordred's care and goes to Rome. On the way he randomly fights and kills a giant in single combat, like you do. In the war against Rome, Bedivere is slain and Kay receives a mortal wound. And at the very end, they learn that Mordred has seized the throne for himself and is hooking up with Guinevere. (To quote: "news reached Arthur that his nephew Mordred, in whose keeping he had left the governance of Britain, had proven himself to be a tyrant and a traitor. Mordred had seized the throne of Britain and now took his wicked pleasure with Guinevere, who had broken her marriage vows.")

Book 11 is the Battle of Camlann. Ywain is first mentioned here (later called Yvain in works by Chretien de Troyes). Mordred is killed at Camlann, and Arthur is mortally wounded but carried away to Avalon to be healed. The next king is crowned, Constantine, who kills Mordred's two sons in the churches they were hiding in. The rest of Book 11 is a rapid series of following kings and conflicts.

Book 12 has a final drawn-out conflict between kinsfolk over the throne, and wraps up the end of the History; it really isn't necessary to read book 12 if you're just here for Arthurian content. I found it an absolute slog and struggled to keep my eyes from skipping over paragraphs.

Stranger things incorrect quote generator (feat. Russian Gang, The Girls + Will, The Babysitters and random shit)

Pt. 6

Russian Gang

Murray: Wow, this parking is as straight as I am.

Hopper: I know I should be focused on the fact that you just came out, but HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY PARKING!

(gay Murray rights)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Hopper, gently nudging Joyce aside with their foot: Joyce, move out of the way so I don’t trip on you.

Joyce, their eyes enormous: You kick Joyce? You kick their body like the football? Oh! Oh! Jail for Hopper! Jail for Hopper for one thousand years!

(idk what is going on..)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Joyce: What is everyone for Halloween?

Yuri: I’m superman.

Russians: A clown.

Joyce: So I’m guessing we don’t need to get you a costume then?

(slay)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Yuri: Ah shit, I forgot.

Dimitri: Forgot what?

Yuri: How do you expect me to answer that?

(I think that's their dynamic)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Hopper: I just want someone to take me out.

Joyce: On a date?

Dimitri: With a sniper gun?

Murray: Both if you're not a coward.

(Murray getting the best lines)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

*Hopper dies in a game with ships*

Joyce: This ship is no longer a ship of love, it's a ship of vengeance, a gavel of justice against all that is wrong in the world, showing no mercy, as no mercy was shown to us.

Joyce: The spark of love will now fuel the fires of destructive glory as I wage my war across the world with righteous fury.

Murray: Legend has it that Hopper still haunts the ship, stealing my fucking drinks.

Hopper: Of course I do.

(Stop stealing his drinks, he needs them after dealing with all that matchmaking)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Murray: What’s the straightest thing you’ve ever done?

Dimitri: *sighs*

Dimitri: I killed a man.

(just saying him and Hopper 👀 anyway)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Dimitri: *sees someone doing something stupid*

Dimitri: What an idiot.

Dimitri: *realizes it's Yuri*

Dimitri: Wait, that's MY idiot!

(their dynamic)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Joyce: *eating a cinnamon roll*

Hopper: Cannibalism.

Joyce: *confused chewing noises*

(She is, but she could also kill you)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Hopper: We’re getting married, bitches!

Joyce: And we're about to make it everybody else's problem.

(wouldn't be a problem for me)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Murray: I think I should be allowed on ghost hunter tv shows.

Joyce: I think that would be dangerous for the ghosts.

(He'd be the best)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[The Girls + Will]

*Squad reactions to being told ‘I love you’*

Nancy: Thanks fam!

Erica: Oh no.

Vickie: *cries* I love you too.

Suzie: Sounds fake, but okay.

Will: *A flustered mess*

El: Can I get a refund?

(I feel like that's their reaction to Mike saying I love you to them, at least 3 of them)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Erica, at Suzie: You're my significant other.

Suzie: Yeah I am!

Erica, at Nancy: You're my child.

Nancy: Yes boss.

Erica, at Max: You're my bitch.

Max: Yeah I am- wait, what?

Erica, at Will: My bestie.

Will: Naturally.

Erica, Robin: HA, GAY!

Robin: Fuck you.

(just ignore the Nancy one and Max..? Also her and Suzie would be such a power couple tho, anyway, I just love the Robin one)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Suzie: And now for a gay update with Vickie and Nancy.

Bonus: Them: *looking at Robin and Chrissy building Ikea furniture*

Vickie: Getting gayer.

Suzie: Thank you, Vickie.

(I saw something on tumblr saying Robin building Ikea Furniture and Nancy just watching her, so I added that)

(also Vickie answered because Nancy is too mesmerized)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Suzie: Not gonna lie, I'm kind of afraid of Nancy...

Chrissy: As you should be.

Suzie: No, for real, they're kind of-

Chrissy: As. You. Should. Be.

(That's Suzie meeting the Girls for the first time)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Erica: Advice of the day kids, if you ever meet someone who calls Gatorade flavors the actual name of the flavor instead of just the color then they are a certified nerd.

Chrissy: Yeah but you have to specify, frost glacier or cool blue? You can’t just say blue because there’s more than one blue.

Erica: Blue and light blue, nice try nerd.

(this is 100% Erica, tell me I'm wrong)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Vickie: Sometimes I drink milk straight from the container.

El: The cow??

Vickie: What?

Nancy: El, W H Y?

(that's when Vickie adopted El. Because I saw a post once where Max is Ronance's child and El is Chrickie's child)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin, on a random band name generator: Oooo! They Might Be Depressed Horses! That about sums up my friend group.

(Why horses tho)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

El: If I can't cause tiny bits of chaos every day, I think my body will shut down.

(and that's when Chrissy adopted her)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Erica: Remember that time you dared me to lick a swingset?

Chrissy: No, I said "Erica, don't lick that swingset" and you said "Don't tell me what to do" and licked the swingset.

(You can't tell Erica what to do and what not to do, but I feel like she wouldn't do that tho)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Suzie: Raisins. It's nature's candy.

(She would say that, wouldn't she?)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Will: Some of us are still ‘it’ from a childhood game of tag.

Robin: way to just fuck me up on a Tuesday.

(They Gays™ bonding, also it remind me of the Tik tok when Millie says "it's shocking 'it' took 3 years to come out" and then comes an edit of Will's fruity walk and the text 'it')

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Max: What's this?

Robin, hugging Max: Affection!

Max: Disgusting.

Max: ...Do it again.

(mother-daughter bonding)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy: Here you go, Erica, a nice hot cup of coffee!

Erica: It's cold.

Nancy: A nice cup of coffee.

Erica: It's horrible!

Nancy: Cup of coffee.

Erica: I'm not sure if this even IS coffee.

Nancy: C U P.

(I think she regrets adopting Erica, or well Robin adopted her, but they together so)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: Define “dream”.

Nancy: Dream - the first thing people abandon when they learn how the world works.

Vickie: That’s too dark!

(Her in S3? Idk)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Chrissy: If I was married to you I would put poison in your coffee.

Vickie: If I was married to you I’d drink it.

(They're joking.. Or are they 👀.. Yes they are don't worry... 👀)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy: Go fuck yourself.

Robin, smugly: Sure, but only if you watch

(Well Damn-)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Chrissy: My friends say I'm the most charismatic out of the group.

Nancy: Well, you always have a smile on your face.

Chrissy: Thank you.

Nancy:

Nancy: What drugs do you take?

(Chrissy probably got them from Eddie)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Chrissy: I'm a firm believer in "if you're going to fail, you might as well fail spectacularly."

(She probably used that phrase for cheerleading once)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

El: Oh, fiddlesticks! That really ruffles my feathers!

Erica: Please, just say fuck.

(Max can teach her)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

El: When life gives you lemons, what do you do?

Suzie: Make lemonade!

El: No, throw them back up in the sky and make life deal with it’s own shit.

(Max is already making progress)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy: My life is a little too much panic and not enough disco.

Erica: My life is a little too much fall and not enough boy.

Will: My life is a little too much chemical and not enough romance.

El: My life is a little too much imagination and not nearly enough dragons.

(you tried El you tried, also I just find Erica's funny because of the Russian Elevator thing and the falling)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

El: Why did you guys dress up as each other for Halloween?

Robin: Max is the scariest thing I could think of!

Max: Robin told me I should pick the dumbest costume possible.

(That's love, bitch 🙏)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Vickie: Did you miss me while I was gone?

Robin: You were gone?

(no Vickie hate, but that was me after she didn't shows up until the last two episodes)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[The Babysitters]

Argyle: Hey Steve?

Steve: Yeah?

Argyle: What's your favorite color of the alphabet? True or false?

Steve:

Steve: ...What.

(That was when they first met, it's canon)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy, handing out popsicles: Which flavor do you want?

Robin: Blue flavor!

Nancy: Uh, you mean Blue Raspberry?

Robin: Blue flavor! Blue flavor!

Nancy: Blue is not a flavor!

Robin: BLUE FLAVOR!

(Erica be calling Nancy a nerd)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy: Ducks are better than rabbits.

Robin: What? Rabbits are adorable. Have you ever been in a fight with a duck? Ducks are jerks.

Argyle: Duck is delicious! Rabbit is all gamey.

Robin: We’re not talking about flavour, Argyle!

Argyle: Flavour counts!

Robin: Who carries around a duck’s foot for good luck? Anyone?

Steve: You wrap yourself in a comforter stuffed with rabbit hair. I’ll wrap myself in a comforter stuffed with duck feathers! Who’s cozier?

Robin: Okay, but-

Steve: NO, NO, NO, NO. WHO’S COZIER?

Argyle: Then why don’t we take a rabbit, a duck, stick ‘em in a cardboard box and let them fight it out!

Robin: BECAUSE IT’S ILLEGAL, ARGYLE!

Argyle: ONLY IF WE BET ON IT, ROBIN!

Nancy: I- Jesus-

(No ducks or rabbits were hurt in this quote)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Eddie: What do we think of Robin?

*pause*

Argyle: *sighs* Nice pal.

Jonathan: I think they're gay.

(Jonathan has a gaydar?)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Argyle: So Steve was just using me?

Robin: I’m sorry, Argyle.

Jonathan, trying to contain their amusement: You must feel pretty stupid right now.

Argyle:

Robin: Ok, that’s a time-out.

Jonathan: No, I was just trying to-

Robin: Go sit over there!

Jonathan: *walks away in defeat*

(Steve was using Arygle for weed or smth to get closer to Eddie and Jonathan saw it coming. I love Robin)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Steve: We have a problem.

Nancy: No, YOU have a problem. I have an idiot who keeps making them.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

(derogatory)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: We have a problem.

Nancy: No, YOU have a problem. I have an idiot who keeps making them.

(affectionately)

Eddie: Here is my wall of inspirational people.

Argyle: Is that a picture of you?

Eddie: Yes, I am big enough to admit that I am often inspired by myself.

(Would he?.. He would... Or not?.. Idk... You know what, he would)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Eddie: Thank God you were there, Nancy. I knew you wouldn't let your best friend die.

Nancy: I'm still gonna arrest you. I just can't do that if you're dead.

Eddie: Whatever you gotta tell yourself. Baby steps. It's hard getting then out of their shell.

(Nancy is a cop and Eddie (probably a criminal...drug dealer) is her best friend or well slow burn best friend (they already friends but are gonna be best friends), anyone?)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Jonathan: Do we have any orange juice left?

Robin: *pours the remaining juice into their cup*

Robin: Sorry, we’re all out.

(When Jonathan was still dating Nancy)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Jonathan: Think you can answer some questions without the usual level of sarcasm?

Robin: If you can ask the questions without the usual level of stupid.

(same timeline)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy: My life is a little too much panic and not enough disco.

Eddie: My life is a little too much fall and not enough boy.

Steve: My life is a little too much chemical and not enough romance.

Robin: My life is a little too much imagination and not nearly enough dragons.

(now this, this is perfect)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy on stage: Everyone's talking 'bout climate change,but when is Steve gonna start talking 'bout some underwear change? Am I right ladies?

Crowd of People: *cheers*

Nancy: *pulls out a gun and shoots Steve until they run out of bullets*

Nancy: *reloads, then shoots Steve until they run out of bullets*

Nancy: *looks into camera after a brief pause* Who killed Steve?

(girlboss, gaslight, gatekeep queen, she slayed, she ate and left no crumbs. I was the crowd btw)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy: When I was your age-

Robin, mocking Nancy: When I was your height.

Nancy:

Nancy: Listen here you little shit-

(I love the 'Taller person is younger, and smaller person is older' thing... Because that's me.. I'm most of the time.. Well I'm always smol and most of the time older than my friends)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Steve: May luck (and this picture of Eddie eating shredded cheese at 3 in the morning) be with you.

(that was Steve to Robin after she said that quote above lol)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Eddie: Robin, get that hidious thing out of the living room, would you?

Robin: Steve, Eddie wants you to get out of the house.

(affectionately, they are platonic Soulmates)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Jonathan: It's pretty cold outside.. wanna hold hands? We should stay close.

Argyle, blushing: Okay.

Robin: It's fucking summer.

(Robin did it the next day)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: *coughs blood*

Steve: Don't die, Robin!

Robin: Don't tell me what to do!

(I love those fanfics, Robin angst ✨)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Argyle: I'm usually that person who has no idea what's going on.

(the A in Argyle stands for Angel because without him they wouldn't have found El or the pizza dough freezer ✨Argyle Appreciation✨)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Argyle: *shatters a window and climbs through it*

Argyle: *turns around and helps Jonathan through it* Breaking and entering is wrong Jonathan.

Jonathan: Okay.

(yeah Jonathan, why would you break into a house?)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Eddie: Hey, did you know as a kid I accidentally ate paper?

Jonathan: I feel like we've all done that at least once.

Argyle: I ate it too-

Jonathan: See?

Argyle:: -On purpose...

Eddie & Jonathan: ...What?

(he did, but I did too..)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Argyle: I'm hot, I’m tall, I'm gay, and I'm on my theatre kid arc.

(Jonathan be having good taste tho)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Eddie: You know my motto: carpe diem, carpe noctem, carpe coles.

Steve: Seize the day, seize the night, what’s the last one?

Eddie: Seize the dick.

(I'm not even surprised, but also I'm surprised that Steve knows that.. Robin taught him someway)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Argyle: Everything will be ok. You can not stop it.

Argyle: Everything will be fine. You have no choice.

Jonathan: What the fuck kind of pep talk is that?

Argyle: Ominous positivity.

(Yes)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Argyle: No more making fun of me when I misuse dated cultural references, alright? Are we cowabunga on this?

Robin, sighing: Fine. We're cowabunga.

(I want them to interact)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Eddie: I dare you to kiss the next person who walks into this room.

Robin: Screw that, I’m not kissing any of you.

*Nancy walks in*

Robin: Fine, I’ll do it. Rules are rules you know.

Bonus:

Nancy: Hey Robin! Good that I found. I need som-

*Robin kisses her*

Nancy: *blissed out* wha-

Robin: *casually walks back to Eddie* ok now your turn again, Truth or Dare?

(Nancy stands there frozen for a few minutes and just walks away forgetting what she wanted to asked)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Eddie: Sometimes, I don’t realize an event was traumatic until I tell it as a funny story and notice everyone is staring at me weird.

(it's just a spicy funny story)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy: Argyle-

Argyle: *sighs* Jonathan used to call me Argyle...

Nancy: ...Because it's your fucking name.

(I don't even know what to say)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Nancy: Why don’t you go talk to them?

Argyle, sarcastically: Oh. Yeah, sure.

Nancy: What? So you go tell them they’re cute, what’s the worst that could happen?

Argyle: They could hear me.

(Nancy trying to get Argyle to talk to Jonathan)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Steve: Why aren’t you sleeping?

Robin: I’m too busy plotting your murder to sleep, Steve.

Steve:

Robin: ...The nightmares.

Steve: *wrapping their arms around Robin* Awwww, sweetie-

(They definitely cuddle, this is canon, this happened off-screen after Season 3, I love their friendship)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Eddie: I like your top, Nancy!

Robin: I have a name, you know.

Nancy: *sighs* Why. Why are you like this.

(it's your fault Nancy, you chose her, now you have to deal with stuff like that. Also imma die on my 'Robin is a Top' hill)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Eddie: If you took a shot for every time you made a bad decision, how drunk would you be?

Argyle: Maybe a bit tipsy?

Robin: Drunk.

Jonathan: Wasted.

Nancy: Dead.

(Argyle never made bad decisions, he's too good for that, Steve just stayed silent because he'd be double dead)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Jonathan: And here we see Robin and Eddie in their natural habitat. Texting eachother variations of the word "garlic bread" to try to make eachother laugh.

Robin: Gaelic bread.

Eddie: Grueling brad.

Robin: Ha ha, glamorous beans.

(Why beans 😭 glamorous tho 💅)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Argyle: Imagine if someone handed you a box full of all the things you lost throughout your life.

Eddie: It would be nice to have my sense of purpose back...

Steve: Oh wow, my childhood innocence! Thank you for finding this.

Robin: My will to live! I haven't seen this in years.

Jonathan: I knew I lost that potential somewhere.

Nancy: Mental stability, my old friend!

Argyle: Jesus, could you guys lighten up a little?

(did that hit a little too hard? I'm sorry)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Jonathan: The Ocean is a soup.

Steve:

Steve: Do elaborate.

Jonathan: What are needed for something to be a soup?

Steve: Erm... Water, salt, some form of vegetation, and personally I prefer some meat in mine.

Jonathan: *Tilts head*

Steve: The Ocean is a Soup.

Jonathan: The Ocean is a Soup.

(Steve got high with Jargyle)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Steve: Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, and wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

Jonathan: That's deep.

Argyle: That means that ketchup is a smoothie.

Jonathan: That's deeper.

Nancy: ...You guys are idiots.

(Nancy found Steve high with Jargyle)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: Just be careful, Nancy!

Nancy: *heading out the door* I'm always careful, Robin!

Nancy: It's everything around me that's careless.

(Robin was there with Nancy when they found Steve and Nancy leaves)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin, to Nancy: Look at you! All cute and small! I could just eat you up!

Nancy: *proceeds to kick them in the shin and run away*

Argyle, walking past: Rule number 1, don't call Nancy cute or small.

(Nancy came back and Robin is now high too and flirting with Nancy, Nancy got flustered and angry, and left again. Argyle is spitting facts)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Robin: This is horrible! This is the most humiliating thing to ever happen to me!

Eddie: Oh-? Even more humiliating than-

Robin: We are not doing this!

(Robin after she realized what she said, and Eddie trying to embarrassed her more)

(end of story)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Eddie: Didn't you die?!

Argyle: That was weeks ago, dude. Things change.

(I just love the 'dude', it's so him)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[Random Shit]

Enola, knocking on the door: Eleven, open up!

Eleven: It all started when I was a kid.

Enola: That’s not what I-

Millie: Let them finish!

(I love Enola, and this is so accurate lol)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Enola: Millie, get that hidious thing out of the living room, would you?

Millie: Eleven, Enola wants you to get out of the house.

(Damn)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Enola to Eleven: Me? I'm the bee knees, but, you? You're just...

Millie: Cockroach ankles!

Enola: Ye- uh, what?

(Stop insulting El)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Eleven: Hey guys, I found a spider. Cool little lad. Thanks for eating the mosquitos.

Eleven: Oh no, where did it go?

Millie: ELEVEN WHAT THE FUCK?!

(I feel you Millie, also idk if she's scared of spiders, but this is funny)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Eleven: I couldn't do this without you, Enola.

Enola: Sure you could. Not as stylishly, of course.

(I love this)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Eddie: Go big or go home!

Maya: Please, for once in your life just go home. I'm begging you. Go. Home.

Eddie: I'm going big!

(That's how Maya reacted (while watching) when Eddie cut the rope)

(I wrote Robin, Maya, Eddie, Joseph, Steve, Joe and with this quote and those two people it chose, it's the only good connection I can think of)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

hope you enjoyed it 👍 Um, that's it 👋 byeee, lots of love ✨🥺❤️✨

Can we see the Violetshine quote list

ASKLDJSALKJDAS SURE!!! (for context anon is talking abt an ask i sent to @/wc-confessions talking abt violetshine warriorcats where i mentioned i have a quote list for her LMAOOO)

this list is a combination of quotes said by her and quotes relating to her!! just stuff that rly hit me in the mentally ill kinnie brain aksljkldjf (putting under the cut to avoid this post getting unnecessarily long LOL. also all the quotes r screenshots but bc tumblr doesnt let u post more than 10 pics im gonna write em all down manually lol)

EDIT: HI SO UH. I HIT THE CHARACTER LIMIT WHILE I WAS WRITING THESE DOWN ASKJDSKL SO THIS LIST IS INCOMPLETE OOPS SORRY. BUT U GET THE IDEA

Besides, Ratscar's words were still gnawing at Violetkit too sharply to allow her to concentrate on Littlecloud. She's not really one of us, is she? She'd heard the skinny, dark brown elder's meow as she passed the elders' den that morning. He was talking about me.

Darktail stared at her. "What's it like living with Clan cats when you know you're an outsider?"

She tried not to remember how lonely she felt in the Clan. How Pinenose's kits ignored her. How she wasn't allowed near Grassheart's kits in case she passed on an infection. "They try to make me feel welcome." Her breath caught in her throat. Don't they? Darktail leaned closer. "And yet you don't."

I'm not wanted here. I never truly was.

Twigpaw only comes to see me when she wants something. She hasn't tried to find me in the four moons since I left. Hasn't she been worried about me? She huffed to herself. She thinks her needs are more important than anyone else's.

Anger surged through her. Did no cat want her? She'd spent her life being passed around by other cats. First Alderpaw had taken her from her mother's nest. Then Rowanstar had snatched her from ThunderClan. Then Needletail had taken her to the rogues. This was the first time she'd had any choice in the matter, and she was choosing ShadowClan. They were lucky!

She searched Violetpaw's gaze for a reaction, but Violetpaw seemed unmoved. Pity swamped her. When had Violetpaw stopped expecting to be loved?

"Oh, Twigpaw." Sympathy flooded Violetpaw's gaze. "You always want to be close to some cat." "Don't you?" Twigpaw frowned, puzzled. "I guess I just didn't think it was possible."

"Let's never forget we have each other. We're kin, and that's stronger than being Clanmates or denmates. We'll always be close. Nothing will ever change that."

She didn't understand. Twigpaw had said she wanted to be close to her. They'd talked about being sisters--how that was more important than anything. You made me trust you!

"You can't leave!" she wailed. Twigpaw stared at her from among her Clanmates. "I can't stay." Why not? Fury surged through Violetpaw. Why had Twigpaw begged to stay close if she was just going to leave?

Violetpaw bit into her mouse, stung by Twigpaw's words. Violetpaw has always been sensitive. Her sister hadn't meant them meanly but it felt like a criticism.

Violetpaw glanced back at him. Talking about Pebbleshine seemed to have made him happy, even though she was dead. Was that how it was when you lost someone you loved? Her thoughts drifted to Needletail. Even thinking of her friend made Violetpaw's chest tighten with grief. I could never talk about Needletail happily. Not after what happened.

"You're abandoning me again!"

"You left me when we were in ShadowClan. And you're leaving me now. All for your precious ThunderClan! What's so special about them? They're just a bunch of meddling know-it-alls. Why do you want to be with them instead of me?"

"I don't care!" Violetshine hissed. "I don't care if you're not happy! What about me? Why am I never allowed to be happy?" Her eyes rounded as though she realized what she'd said. Her body shook. She dropped her gaze. "I'm sorry," she mumbled. "I just believed that everything was finally going to be the way I dreamed it would be."

Hawkwing pressed against them, soothing Violetshine with a gentle stroke of his tail. "Twigpaw is right," he meowed softly. "We will always be kin. We'll miss Twigpaw, but isn't it better to know she's found where she belongs than to live with her knowing she wishes she were somewhere else?" Violetshine lifted her glistening gaze. "I just wish she wanted to be with us," she mewed thickly.

He'll probably decide to move on, she told herself, trying to ignore the hollow feeling in her chest. Just one more cat who leaves me behind, whether he means to or not.

"He is," Violetshine admitted. "A bit like you. Except he follows through."

Twigpaw gasped, stung by her sister's words. "Look," she meowed, "I'm sorry about leaving SkyClan, but I just didn't belong there, as much as I wanted to." When there was no response from Violetshine, she asked, "Haven't you ever felt that way?" "More times than I would have liked," Violetshine sighed.

"This is for Needletail!"

Anger surged in Twigbranch's chest. "But you can't leave me!" She glared at Violetshine. "How can you go after all we've been through?" Violetshine stared back at her in surprise. "But you left me, over and over."

Rootpaw had heard stories about Darktail and his Kin, and how they had nearly destroyed ShadowClan. And he knew that for a while his mother had been part of the Kin, and that she had eventually helped to destroy it. But Violetshine had always refused to talk about it. Too raw, too painful, Tree had explained to him and Needlepaw.

"I can't do it," she meowed. "I worked too hard to find my kin. I could never leave Hawkwing."

"But if Bramblestar is violet toward other cats, especially those in his own Clan - cats he is supposed to care for - then he must be stopped." Her voice shook a little as she added, "I learned about that from Darktail."

Rootpaw stared at his mother. She must feel very strongly to mention Darktail. Normally she never talks about that part of her life.

I am actually frustrated with TCL this season cuz where is the armony magic??? Like they are hell bent on showing us Nadia/Arman and thony always fixing luca and going loco loco in the process. I seriously though that this Western drama would make me stick to it but nope...

I mean who are we kidding here! The showrunners of this are the same devils who ruined the 100

What a waste of time

Hello anon, and sorry for the delay!

Okay, I could literally feel the awkwardness and frustration here on tumblr given how quiet the tag is 👀

Warning as usual: this is just my opinion - but it's also completely understandable for people to get frustrated when they're passionate about something 😉

I hear you anon, and I understand the frustration with the teasing and anticipation each week if you focus and wait for some Armony content - but really, the show is so much more, and I don't think the showrunners have failed us so far.

~ A while back, an anon told me it might be best to not expect anything from Armony, and take crumbs if there were any - and it's pretty much the voice of wisdom in this case. If you look at the characters' development - how the different relationships affects them, and how they evolve, the quality of the show hasn't diminished at all.

When you think about it, Thony started selling drugs because she needed the medicine for Luca, and wanted to help those who didn't have access to medical care. Then, she turned away from that, to become as Gabriel called her, a drug dealer - to help Arman. It wasn't so much about Luca anymore - it became about getting him out and then quickly about themselves getting out - it was about her/their survival. Arman is now kinda free of Kamdar - yeah, he's not free at all when at least 3 men want him dead, add Tarik to the mix and it makes 4 - but still, he doesn't have to work for him anymore. So now, Thony proved her worth and we're back to the show's core - keeping Luca alive any way she can.

Wait for it, I'm about to use that quote again. It's not about doing things the right way or the wrong way - but any way you can. That's what it has always been about - and Anna-Mae telling Thony that she ''always knows the right thing to do'' was also a nod to that quote, and to Garrett telling her in 1.09 that what she's doing [helping Arman] is wrong, and to Fiona telling her she's someone who always things she knows better than everyone else, and to 2.04 - how we do it isn't always the way we want/Bahala Na. And there are more!

Again it's just my opinion, but it all makes sense, and they are still doing an amazing job putting this story together.

And again, I completely understand that the fandom expects so much more when Armony has been so vivid in S1 - but the spark is still there. Plus, they barely had time to sleep since the season started. I'm not going to list everything they all had to go through - but I mean, Arman has been arrested on October 15th, and if TCL's timeline is now synced up with real life, so much has happened in just ~6 weeks from 1x10 to 2x09!

That being said, I would be lying if I'd say I wasn't also frustrated at times and didn't sometimes wish for more for the entire show - but mostly because I'd like to slow down a bit, and spend a bit more time on some scenes.

~ I haven't watched the 100, so I don't know much more about that other than what I saw amongst the vidding community when reading video descriptions and comments on Bellarke fanvids - but I'm kinda aware of the anger many fans felt in the fandom. I guess that's what you're refering too? Or are you talking about character development in general? Miranda was indeed working on the show for a while - and I can completely understand your reaction, but unfortunately can't go any further than that when I haven't watched it, sorry 👀

But where I can compare is with Queen of The South. If you haven't watched it, I 100% recommend it - and even more as a show you can binge-watch! I won't go into too much details to not spoil the series for those who haven't seen it - but it has always been about Teresa Mendoza and her journey to becoming the drug queenpin in white. A ship - Jeresa - quickly emerged, and long story short, James wasn't in s4 and came back for s5, which was announced as the final season. And of course, with the clock ticking and each week getting us closer to the end, everyone - me included - had big hopes for their reunion and wanted them to be together. There was a lot of heat, anger and frustration amongst the fandom - that I watched from a distance, but also saw in comments on mine and other fanvids.

To sum it up without giving too much away, their ''relationship'' was..stopped/paused?..in the second episode, and with everything she had gone through, it made sense too. She was scared, had lost many people, was getting deeper and deeper to desperately make it to the top to finally become legit and be untouchable / and feel safe - and was also protecting James by pushing him away.

All of this rambling to get to the point that Armony and Jeresa are the magnificent cherries on top of a magnificent story. No matter how powerful a ship is, I won't be sticking around if the rest makes me want to fast forward. I was drawn to QotS by Teresa, then also fell in love with James, Camila, Branda, Pote, Kelly-Ann,...Thony's story made me want to watch TCL, and then I fell in love with her little human, Fiona, the kids, Arman, Mateo (who was supposed to be my parallel to Pote 🤧 rip), Nadia,...

If you really aren't enjoying the show as a whole anymore, I feel like it might be a good idea to take a step back once the season is over, and binge-watch S1-S2 once your frustration has hopefully eased off 😉

I hope I could somewhat help anon? And I'm sure we'll have 3 amazing last episodes with Armony content - don't give up on it just yet ❤️

The Banshees of this Moment in Time

Last night I was unwinding from an all day Saturday classes in both Systematic Inquiry (dissertation writing time) and in Higher Education Organizational Theory. So, like I do when I'm "unwinding" these days, I decided to watch something, anything, and that turned out being The Banshees of Inisherin. After all, it was nominated for best pictures.

I'd been avoiding this movie because it looked boring, and because I've never been a fan of Colin Ferrell. Probably because I get him confused with Colin Firth, who was ok in the King's Speech--and Will Ferrell, who was really great in Elf, even if you hate Elf, you monster. It also looked like one of those period-pieces. I used to like those, but since about 1995, I haven't. Weird that I liked those UNTIL the year I graduated from college, but I guess the real world left me with intolerance of the period-piece, with the exception of Downton Abbey and even that only lasted (spoiler alert!) until Sybill and Cousin Matthew died, respectively.

Anyway, I kind of like mythology and I like the "banshee" thing. First movie I remember with "banshee" in the title. A banshee (/ˈbænʃiː/ BAN-shee; Modern Irish bean sí, from Old Irish: ben síde [bʲen ˈʃiːðʲe], "woman of the fairy mound" or "fairy woman") is a female spirit in Irish folklore who heralds the death of a family member, usually by screaming, wailing, shrieking, or keening. Her name is connected to the mythologically important tumuli or "mounds" that dot the Irish countryside, which are known as síde (singular síd) in Old Irish.

Basically, a female spirit who heralds a death by screaming, wailing, shrieking, or keening. You have me at keening, really.

Here's a representation:

And another:

And hardly safe for work:

It's weird that banshees are represented by all white women, and I'm only calling attention to this because the field could really use a lot more diversity. I think that mythology is a field that is fairly homogenous and that means that not enough people are aware of the legends, stories, and tropes of the world that maybe could better join us together. A little Joseph Campbell here, but I'd wager that many cultures have a banshee variant, and we'd be a lot better off if we started overlaying our myths to find out that we're not as different as we think we are.

Anyway. I watched this movie because of the promise of banshee, and because it was a best picture nominee, and also because a friend of mine at work said, "Good lord, I watched The Banshees of Inisherin last night and I have no idea what to think."

Now that I've seen it, I agree, I don't know what to think. My initial reaction was to get up from my chair and take my dog for a walk. He was happy, I was annoyed. Banshees for the sake of banshees, I guess. Or its just a movie about gratituous finger violence. Or about Jenny, who I adored. But I dreamed about this movie last night as well. When I woke up today (and now as I am sitting in my "Leading Public Affairs" class) I remembered a quote from poet Archibald MacLeish: "A poem should not mean but be."

I'm impatient with what that freaking movie means, I really am. But perhaps it just is, and that is ok, I guess. I still don't like Colin Ferrell, but he's fine in this film. Still fixated on the concept of banshees and on how mythology could serve as a unifying axis around which DEI initiatives might turn. Another dissertation for another day, I suppose, and probably already been written by ChatGPT:

CricketRocker: ChatGPT, what's really great about banshees

Banshees are a fascinating part of Irish mythology and have captured the imaginations of many people throughout history. Here are a few things that are often considered great about banshees:

Banshees are often seen as a symbol of Irish culture and heritage, and have been an important part of Irish folklore for centuries.

They are associated with the supernatural and are often described as otherworldly beings with the power to foretell death and other significant events.

Banshees are known for their distinctive wailing cry, which is said to be hauntingly beautiful and can be heard from miles away.

The wail of a banshee is often seen as a warning of impending death, and is said to be a sign that a loved one is about to pass away.

Banshees are often depicted as powerful, mysterious and enigmatic creatures, which adds to their allure and appeal.

They are also considered to be protectors of their family and descendants, and are said to be fiercely loyal to those they care about.

Overall, the mythology and folklore surrounding banshees is what makes them really great and continues to captivate people's imaginations to this day.

Holy moly.
