Darien: You’ve got two options; a shitty flight that’ll take over twenty-four hours with two stops, paid for by yourself, or I’ll pay the difference for an eleven hour one.
Brynn: The shitty one.
Darien: Alright…
Brynn: I not think I have enough money yet.
Darien: You just didn’t know where to look.
Brynn: Thank you.
Darien: It’s fine-.. are you excited?
Brynn: Not really.
Darien: About the baby…
Brynn: Oh, yes! I always think about having babies one day.
Darien: With Wyatt?
Brynn: Not in the beginning, maybe.
Darien: I’m sorry-.. for everything.
Brynn: Is okay, I have also trodden on other people to get ahead sometimes.
Darien: You seem pretty understanding about it all.
Brynn: Life is too short for grudges and regret, no? People change.
Darien: I suppose you’re right.
Brynn: You know he is called Kaito now?
Darien: I know, where’d you think he got his paperwork from?
Brynn: Ohh, you are very clever.
Darien: It’s who you know, not what.
Brynn: That is true.
Darien: Okay, your flight’s booked for tomorrow night at eleven thirty-four.
Brynn: Is already tomorrow.
Darien: Tonight, then.
Brynn: Ough, I am nervous now!
Darien: He might take it.. okay-ish? I feel like I don’t know him as well as I used to.
Brynn: In a good way though, yes?
Darien: Yeah, I think so.

arthur's destiny was to die??????? oh dani you are sick, i can't beleive i'm saying this but as a critic of literature, i love your mind and i cannot fucking wait for the chaos in the next chapter. also, have there been hints of arthur's predicament since the beginning? aside from the obvious misdirection that is lance's prophecy, we knew that something had to trigger him to destroy idris, but did you ever hint what that trigger it was and if you did can you share it? i want to see if i am stupid or if it really wasn't obvious.
Ah, there is so much to say here, but i’ll try to be succinct.
Yes, Arthur’s destiny is to die. This will make a lot more sense in the next chapter.
The prophecy wasn’t meant to misdirect - not so much as it was misinterpreted. Because, you see, in any story, prophecies mean so many things. You can interpret it in so many different ways. Percy Jackson girlies know what I am talking about. We’ll explore the prophecy a little bit more in Chapter 19.
Yes, Arthur can see the future. As we know, children/heirs of priunces of hell inherit their father’s power/s. Like Magnus got Asmodeus’ teleporting and max got Leviathan’s water powers. Lucifer, as we know, has two big powers. One is that he controls the pandemonium (because he created it when he fell from heaven) and he can see everything. This is what Ben was telling Lexi in the previous chapter. Similar to the Princes of Hell and Eldest Curses, Lance got one part of David (Demon blood) and Arthur got the other (Angel blood), one of them got one of Lucifer’s powers and Arthur got the other.
I cannot tell you how many fucking clues are in the story (and in my writing) about Arthur’s ability to see the future. I’ve sprinkled it everywhere (carefully) ever since I started writing about it character. Even in IALS! I answered separate asks about these! Hope you can find them!
I tried to be very sneaky about it and always referred to them as ‘dreams’. It’s very in character of Arthur to refer to his visions as dreams because the latter sounds less scary and more romantic. So, every time you see him say something like “I dreamed” and “he dreamt” - we are literally referring to a vision of the future. Some examples below.
6. One of the bigger/obvious examples was when he rescued Harry. I really thought y’all might figure that out. Because there is no way he could’ve known Harry was in danger unless he didn’t see something that scared him.
7. We also see many examples of Arthur zoning out and losing concentration when other people are talking (which usually happens when he gets pulled into a vision). It’s often misinterpreted as ADHD, but now we know it was a bit of a Marcus Devlin situation here.
As for whether I hinted Arthur was the prophecy trigger, I did and I did not. I think many people guessed this anyway - that Lance will only be triggered if he lost someone he loved dearly and I have hinted many times that Lance loved Arthur the most in the world. So, yeah.
There were some hints that Arthur was going to die. For example, Arthur often mentions that he doesn’t ‘dream’ about certain things - most of these things are things that will happen when he is older (Sex/marriage/university) etc. Arthur never saw himself in the future doing any of this because he dies young.
There were some clues about Arthur being the strangler too. Magnus often describes the hands as soft and lean and long fingers. I've described this feature in Arthur a lot - David/Lance/Arthur have the same hands.
Also there were little things like this:
There are a lot more, of course. I don't remember most of them. I never 'plan' foreshadowing ahead. I just keep peppering it in while I write because I know what's going to happen in the story way ahead so it's quite easy to tease.

Tell me a headcannon about your blorbos that youve wanted to talk about but nobody has given you the chance to yet
I WAS LITERALLY GONNA MAKE A POST ABT THISSSSS ok ok
springtrap is afraid of water and by extension, the rain (my focus is really on the rain portion of it). idk the concept is just really interesting ta me. the second a drop of rain water hits him this scary sly bastard absolutely breaks down and starts panicking. it cant really do anything anymore, the springlocks already activated 3 decades ago, but its the phantom of the experience of dying that haunts him. the rain is a reminder of his biggest defeat. ive wanted to make some art of this but havent gotten around ta it yet.
i havent been hyperfixated on chara undertale in years but i hced that the reason you start off w/a LV of 1 in undertale was b/c chara already had 1 LV when frisk and chara's soul merged while frisk had zero. obviously 1+0=1 lmao. and its not b/c i think they're a genocidal maniac, but b/c they killed in self defense (which was one of the factors that made them run away and was mostly and accident). and humans being more powerful than monsters means you gain LV a lot easier.
kris deltarune practices laughing evilly in the mirror and makes evil faces at themselves. the murderous look they give you is practiced b/c they're a fucking autistic dork (based on smthn i do irl)
