Omg is that a dup sona??? It isss @gladii0lus i caved in to the self insert oc in cool uniform
He is like some sort of slime moss based conduit? Idk if organic conduits are even a thing (but regardless his powers visuals are heavily inspired by those videos where slime moss solves mazes for pieces of oats) (which is also basically his whole motivation as a dup agent. He is here for the reward and thats it)
Morast probably recharges his powers from like damp nasty mossy walls that kinda dry out after his recharge (or dumpsters, we all know where the good mold is, but dup forbid him from using dumpsters bc it ruins their reputation)
he thought that conduit prison would be chill, since conduits arent really placed there for crimes and are basically just random people with powers. So like a really strict but free camp?? And no need to work for the rest of his life?? Paradise??
But then it turned out that curdan cay has almost no entertainment except trainings and forbids contact between prisoners. And he got deathly bored. So he had to start working for the dup in order to get his freedom back (and yk an actual working phone with wifi and games and the ability to get takeouts and hang out and go clubbing and date and well all that) (we are not going to mention that most of those things are technically still forbidden, bc now he can access them at least. Just dont snitch to the higher ups)
He is fairly efficient when he is actually working, but that only happens almost never

Girlie (gn) you hate Maeve? You have good taste I see, I fucking hated her (well strongly disliked but still) mary sue is such a perfect term, she was just boring and I feel Spencer felt so wet and weepy with her
i don't hate maeve so much as i hate the maeve plotline! i think strongly dislike is a really good phrase to use when talking about my feelings towards maeve's character.
as a character, she's super flat and one dimensional. i think she and spencer were "together" for eight months(?) and the episode where you learn the most about her is the one where she fucking dies. i've spent all day thinking about this and im beginning to think that part of the reason why she is a mary sue is that spencer tends to put people he cares about on pedestals and ignores their flaws.
and youre like "what flaws does she have if you barely know anything about her" and okay i'll tell you:
b-12 and magnesium as a treatment for migraines is fucking insane. i'm not saying it couldn't work, but all through season 6 (re: 6x12 "corazon") spencer is seeing doctors and anyone who has ever dealt with a fuckass chronic disease/illness will tell you that a blood panel like that would be one of the first steps in reaching a diagnosis!!!
why on god's green earth would you have a stalker, be dating an fbi agent, and not let your fbi agent boyfriend help you? i have been stalked before!!!! it's not fun!!!!! i'd take all the help i could've gotten at the time. this has always rubbed me the wrong way because oh my god the solution was right there the whole time. he could have protected you! he would have protected you!
i know they weren't technically doctor/patient but there is still some weird power dynamic in their relationship that gives me the ick. other than they're smart and they read, they really dont have much in common.
their relationship to me is equivalent to the girl i dated online after we met through percy jackson fan accounts. i.e. not really a relationship. most of their interaction was off screen and i think that did a huge detriment to the plot.
in the end, i think the maeve storyline and 8x12 "zugzwang" is a hard watch. i can't take it seriously. i'd skip it, but then i'd miss so much blake content (and hotch looks so good in that episode sorry spencer) (not into the fuckass bob in season 8). at the same time, i know it was like... mgg's idea and i'm pretty sure he's friends with beth riesgraf. (he loves to traumatize himself idk). but the whole thing gets messier when you think about the implications left by 14x15 "truth or dare" and the abhorrent jeid plot in season 15 where it's insinuated that spencer has been in love with jj for fifteen years (zoinks) and it's like what about maeve??? i don't know man (gn) i could go on for hours about this
that being said, i see a lot of people not liking the actress who plays maeve. i am telling you that it had to have been the writing or the directing in the episodes because beth riesgraf is incredible. she played a character named parker in the tv show leverage (one of my favorite tv shows of all time) and let me tell you That Is Her Role.
jesus this was long i had more to say than i thought sorry thank you anon

Watching episode 7 of Apothecary Diaries and I fucking love Gao as an extremely practical man. Like he seems somewhat unaware of Lady Politics, because he needs Maomao to explain why like. Servants and ladies in waiting would bully a concubine they’re supposed to be serving, but at the same time as Maomao is explaining it he isn’t doubting it, he just didn’t previously know that information and now that he does he’s like “okay now that I have this information what should I do with it.”
Also Maomao says like “he was seated with people of higher rank” despite him being in the rear palace we can conclude he’s likely a eunuch (unless there’s some plot twist later like I suspect there will be with Jinshi who I don’t think is who he appears to be) he’s earlier in the episode likewise depicted as being restless and unable to stand by and be at ease without a task. Literally taking the job of weeding just to be useful, so despite his rank he will crawl in the dirt to serve a purpose.
A man willing to get dirty and do labour despite what rank he holds and admit his ignorance to a woman in this genre and era is extremely charming.
Even if he is a eunuch I’m marrying Gao. I don’t need that for a husband. It’s irrelevant. Ive dated people with less. At least he’s a good man. I’d rather a good man who’s a eunuch than a weasel with full equipment.

i love all the spongebob movies but the first movie is soooo funny for a particular reason
imagine successfully executing a worldwide domination plan and it ends because an 18 year old after going a life changing road trip with his best friend to try and help save his boss’s life sang a rock song about how he’s gonna embrace his childlike wonder and it hits so hard he was able to destroy all mind control and turn into a wizard

*taps mic and gets way too close to it* uhhh i was thinking abt pre-canon jr2 with Everyone But Them Knows trope. and so i jotted things down. and now i am sharing them.
ok so. Lisa. she def knows abt my crush bc she's my bestie obvi
but she's like soo annoying about it hsHND
g-d i can see her taking a picture of me unintentionally making heart eyes to jean and she tweets it with that homophobic 'i know what you are' dog meme HSHNWHLJ
ok wATI imagine their dad sees that on twitter and replies to it w like 'They seem like very good friends :)' LGNSLNDJHR he would .. (also thats not in a bad way per se like he supports the alphabet community.. he has the gay flag in his bio thinking it's for showing support. He's a lil confused but he has the spirit).
ok.. tommy t. i think tom knows a bit…
he's like 'yeah i'm really picking up some Vibes. really sensing some stuff' (and me being in denial like Wtf. there are no Vibes to be Had here. shut up?).
OK WAITT Quick switch up. If we're talking abt whether tom knows jean likes me .. ,':/ .. i don't think he tells him outwright. but tom figures it out ykno.
like maybe we're all hanging out somewhere and tom n jean are off somewhere talking or wtvrand tom asks if he;s interested in anyone. nd jean's like umm yeah i think so. tom's probably abt to ask who it is and then i show up to ask smth and tom just puts the pieces together.. u know the gif where he's just like :D yeah he does that wSHND. (tom: :D | me: why are you smiling.. weirdo)
tom Then becomes annoying abt it ahsjf
he and lisa quietly but obviously trying to nudge us together jdnfkng. worlds most annoying wingman and wingwoman <3
ok back tothe main point. Ben. .. doesn't know but if he did i bet he's like Yeah that makes sense wldnhjg
oh donna knows for sure. i didn't tell her she just immediately picked up on it WHSNHNS.
uhhh ann and leslie……. oh they don't know at all wSHNK
Listen it's enough that i'm friends with him i don't think they could handle me Liking him HTNKHS
