So, for my whole life I have done tapping and hand movement as a stim, AND THERE'S A CYPHER FOR THAT! It's called tap/knock code, and it's really simple just tap out the number that's attached to the letter on a basic 5x5 square which is
Tumblr media
I have been tapping out words since I learned about it, and it really helps for when I want to say something but can't for whatever reason. I have problems with counting, so I can't understand it, unless I mark something as I hear the taps, but yeah! It's great. (I am also dyslexic but shhhh)

YEONJUN | 연준
by your side 100% of the time you cannot get rid of him.
he's over your bed when you wake up in the morning, waiting outside the bathroom door for you, laying right next to while you're sleeping. everywhere you are, so is yeonjun
will bend over backwards to get you anything you need
water? medicine? soup? more blankets? less blankets? he's on it before you can even ask
cooks for you !!! tries to make your food as interesting as possible so you won't get bored, without adding things that will make you feel worse or aren't good for you
you're bedridden. don't even try to fight him
he won't let you lift a finger, he wants you to get as much rest as possible so you can get better as quickly as possible
infact don't even speak, he'll learn morse code so you can just beep him whenever you need
if his schedule allows he'll stay home with you and be by your side every second of the day, if not he's texting you every free moment he has to make sure you're okay
would definitely call in sick if you were feeling particularly tired and need his care that day
has multiple reminders to make sure you're taking your medicine on time, will scold you if you're even a second late
he'll never tell you but he secretly enjoys you being sick . . .
he love love loves to take care of you, especially when you call on him to do things for you it makes him all giddy knowing you need him (he's not a creep i swear)
he's ontop of you so much he probably catches whatever you have
atleast you're sick together
SOOBIN | 수빈
hates to see you sick
1. because it's gross 2. because he hates seeing you in pain but mainly because it's gross
you're not staying in his bed i'm sorry he's gonna come over to your house to take care of you during the day and go home to his snot free blankets at night
gets your medicine mixed up all the time and complains it's the doctor's fault for prescribing ones that look so similar
low-key takes advantage of this situation so he can skip work and spend some quality time with you LMAOOO
"sorry guys yn's still dying i can't come to work today"
at first it's fun because you just have your average head cold so he doesn't worry too much
but then it starts getting worse and he comes home to you falling over yourself in the kitchen because of your dizzy spells and nearly has a stroke
panik
he starts stressing like a mad man after that
probably gets himself sick just with how stressed out he is it's a problem
definitely calls his mom for help he doesn't know what to do
updates her on every little thing you do
"mom they just took a really deep breath does that mean something"
buys the entire pharmacy
wants to kick himself for not taking it seriously when you first got sick he feels so guilty 😭
although you did enjoy his company and the endless marvel marathons so all is well
will not leave you alone. you have to shit with the door open.
will do everything for you even if you're perfectly capable of doing it yourself
from brushing your hair to fluffing your pillows he's gonna do it all
he'll even clean for you, that's his ultimate declaration of love
in the end he didn't really do much to nurse you back to health but A for effort
BEOMGYU | 범규
i know practically everyone in moaville would say he'd tease the shit out of you but in my head he'd be the most worried for you
googles every single one of your symptoms and then cries himself to sleep because myonlineclinic.com told him you have cholera and 6 days to live
the only reason he'd tease you is to mask his worry
he'd watch you go through 60 boxes of tissues and be like "omg my snotty baby" but on the inside he's freaking out 😭
your pain is his pain, the way you feel affects him and his mood drastically
he's irritable when you are, he's tired when you are, your appetites probably sync too
puts a curse on whoever spread their nasty germs to you with ginger roots and vinegar
i think he'd also be the most sympathetic since he gets sick a lot more often than the others
so gentle and understanding compared to his usual self it's a little scary 😭
surprisingly good at negotiation like you're being stubborn because you don't want to take your medicine and he's like "if you drink the cough syrup i'll let you listen to the demos for our next comeback" and before you know it you've sold your childhood home to him for 3/4 of the initial price
will whip out his guitar and sing for you in a heartbeat if you ask him too
obviously tries to crack jokes and make you smile so you don't feel too miserable, he feels so accomplished even if you just scoff at him 🙁
gets back to his usual annoying self once you're better though
TAEHYUN | 태현
ironically, he doesn't know what to do
he rarely gets sick and when he does it passes in a day or two, so when you've been coughing like you have bronchitis for the past week he feels so lost
his first instinct is to take you to the doctor to figure out what's wrong but gets into a fight with doctor for charging him 19382928 won just to press his hand to your forehead and tell him you have a head cold (terry is against this capitalist society)
also buys the entire pharmacy
changes your entire lifestyle to the maximum efficiency so you get better as quickly as possible and makes sure you stick to it
strict like a prison warden, sometimes you wonder if he actually loves you
which he obviously does, but it's hard to believe so when he avoids any unnecessary contact with you as if you have the plague
takes you outside every once in a while to get some fresh air, he feels stuffy just watching you sit around
it also keeps you active 💪
he's always pestering you to wash your hands
will not let you touch him otherwise
makes sure he keeps your space clean, always has tissues and anything else you might need within your reach
at your aid 24/7
you take up a colossal space in his heart he's so soft for you
flying to your side before you even say anything
you don't even have to tbh he can read your mind
"how'd you know i wanted water?" "you looked thirsty"
if he notices you're feeling extra miserable he'll sing for you to cheer you up
swallows his pride because he's down bad and pulls out his best southern accent when you ask him to sing country music
he will be teased for the next millenia but it was worth it for you
he's like an overbearing mother but you get better the fastest when he's taking care of you
HUENINGKAI | 휴닝카이
another mama's boy
probably calls his sisters too
hiyyih would tell him to soak your pills in vegetable oil as a joke but he'll actually do it because he's just that hopeless
he's unable to think straight he just wants to do everything in his power to make you feel better 😭
although he gets the hang of it pretty quickly, he's a fast learner and genuinely enjoys taking care of you
always praising you !!
"wow yn!! i can't believe you ate all your soup!!! you're so cool!!!"
tries to distract you by showing you his entire collection of pokemon cards
probably lies and tells you they're all super rare and he's the only one in the world who has them
does his best not to cause you any stress, he just wants you to focus on resting
the things this man does because he loves you istg
he cleans the entire dorm because it's a breeding ground for bacteria and he doesn't want anything making you more sick
the guys come home to the house spotless they're just like 🤯🤯🤯🤯
taehyun asks you to get sick more often if it means he doesn't have to fight his way through the ironing board and bike to get to the sink
he even lets you play on his DS he's down bad
side rant: i feel like kai is secretly a neat freak, he abhors the sight of filth but is just too lazy to do anything about it so he forces himself to deal with it 💀
anyway he's such a sweetheart :( does his best to keep the mood up even if you're feeling miserable because your nose is so filled with so much snot that you can't breathe
his positive energy definitely rubs off on you!!!
he actually does a good job taking care of you, he's a bit stressed at first but you're back to good health in no time !!!

Gregor the Overlander fanfiction?! Gregor the Overlander mention!?!?! Tbh it's been so long since I've read it I barely remember it. After Hunger Games' success they need to make a Gregor the Overlander adaptation.
GREGOR THE OVERLANDER WAS SO IMPORTANT TO ME friend I was OBSESSED.
I very genuinely wrote a letter to Disney as a 10 year old asking them to make an adaption and consider casting my new baby nephew and me as a gender-reversed Gregor and Boots I shit you not. I refuse to be embarassed by that, it wasn't cringe, baby me was just That Fucking Into It and wanted to share it with the world lol
My first fanfic was Code of Claw post-series fix-it fic written on a legal pad my mom gave me to use when I was bored silly partway through a day of errands. Complete with fanart of Gregor climbing into a sewer drain and all.
Frankly your excitement bouncing off of my excitement is making me think I need to read it again too, it's been so long. At my peak I could chant every prophecy in the books and tap and scratch messages to myself in code bc I had for some reason memorized the whole Tree of Transmission better than I ever managed to memorize Morse Code.
I'm so overjoyed to talk with someone who was also in love with that series. I completely agree that they need to make a Gregor the Overlander adaption, but also I'm 100% sure they NEED to animate it and never, ever, EVER fucking do a live show. I don't think there's any way to capture the depth and scale of the world/creatures and the differences between adult and kid perspectives of what's going on in the Underland and a lot of the unique features into live action stuff without weakening it, and for me, I felt as a kid like these books were the first and only series for KIDS (not teens) that really really made me feel known as a kid-who-knew-adults-in-charge-can-lie-and-be-bad-sometimes AND as a kid-who-still-defaults-to-believing-the-best-anyway and how those intersect.
I feel like The Underland Chronicles, Ender's Game, and The Hunger Games all are in a specific category of story and boy is that category important. The Gregor books additionally take kids more seriously than any of the others, which was extra cool.
Sorry for the wall of text and the rambling all over lol, thank you for the ask!!!! I hope you have an awesome day and an enjoyable time next time you reread the Underland Chronicles <3

So, how V2 got involved when our lovely rotting Michael had met it in Lust City.
He would dismiss it at first then came the thought that he could use it to his advantage to get Gabriel jealous (and off-guard since he wants him back to Heaven) since he is SO competitive like "I have a much better object that is more intelligent than that rust bucket he calls his love lol" but that plan ends up backfiring on him when he started to develop feelings for V2 due to the date he had set up for them.
That is when the "I tried to get the waiter's attention by blinking in morse code" comes to play for V2. Mike will end up questioning himself about this and looks to Raph for help about but Raph already knew and is like "Nope, you are on board of this train now. Take V2 and be in Gabriel's shoes for once" in a gentle yet BLUNT manner to him. He is in for the lonh haul.
SO in love with this anon your mind......especially because i've also 100% had the thought that v2 absolutely thinks it has the superior angel to v1 lmaoooo so imagining the competition on gabe and mike's end is so funny to me too. but in this scenario i keep thinking like. mike's trying to make gabe doubt his relationship in the pettiest way possible, harping on the idea of v1 being not only obsolete as a model but corrupted in its purpose too, which would traditionally strike a chord with angels considering their own natures and commitments. BUT gabe is deconstructing those ideas and he deeply values his personal connection to v1 as well as its incredible capability, so he vehemently argues in its favor. this would of course lead to him pointing out, in no uncertain terms, how v1 bested its replacement multiple times and it can't be ignored that v2 really was just an attempt to grab at a return on investment when priorities changed - v1 was never meant to be replaced, humans just can't stand lost money (statements he would later definitely feel bad about, since v2 is RIGHT THERE and he just said all of this on pure emotion. he would apologize afterward. a lot lol) but those exact criticisms flip a switch in mike's brain since he really, very much connects with v2 being a replacement that was never meant to be and so before he knows it, he's genuinely defending this little robot's honor and getting pissed off on its behalf. in doing so there's an undeniable, deeply personal link he feels with it, something far from typical for mike...which raphael, unfortunately, fully supports lol "raphael, i cannot fall to the same sins as our brother - council me so that i may be delivered from this evil" "this is so good for you michael!!! congratulations!!!!"

I have concrete evidence--not even concrete, more like steel reinforced BRICKwork with scaffolding support level of evidence that Taekook isn't real. Okay, like I promise I'm not a Kookminer. I'm really not. My bias is actually Suga and I used to like Yoongmin so I have no dog in this fight BUT---
I accidentally watched five Kookjiminie videos on YouTube and I saw something that now has me questioning; was Taekook ever real !?? In these videos (I wish I could find them but I can't sorry and they seem to have disappeared from my YouTube history) but I noticed a disturbing pattern. In one of these video clips, I noticed that Jimin's husband, Jungkook, blinked three times in a row at Jimin and only two times in a row at Taehyung and that's when I knew, Taekook was over. This might surprise some people who don't know me but I actually studied Body Language Language to an FBI level and I specialised specifically in Blinkage and Morse Code of The Eye. I have attended every YouTube tutorial video in that free online course so I can assure you my skills are legit.
Don't get me wrong. I do think Taekook dated when they were like 17 or something but then I also think Taehyung's soulmate and Tae's boyfriend fell in love with each other and just couldn't help but have an affair or maybe Tae and Jimin's lover, Jungkook, broke up and then Jimin decided to swoop in then and steal his soulmate + best friend's ex boyfriend because hoes before bros and dates before soulmates, right?
I know it might seem like I ship Jiminie❤️Kookie but I swear on my mother's grave that I don't. I'm actually more of a Jihopie shipper but listen, I grew up in an orphanage since birth and I've never had any family but myself so even before I became an expert Body Language expert, I knew better than anyone how to observe people's intentions and I hate (honestly I HATE) to say this but I think the real ship might be JiminKook4eva. I really do. I swear on my father's life that I don't ship it but I can't deny it that there's a LOT of evidence that they got married in Japan.
They were both in Japan for a start.
I know I probably won't convince you and I'm honestly not here to try to but I've got five more essays lined up about why you should listen to me and believe what I'm saying and stop shipping Taekook because let's be real, Taehyung has literally said that he hates it--and I know some people think he was talking about the fan fantasising about Jimin's life partner, Jungkook, but that's only one interpretation so he literally hates it.
Please, please listen to me for some reason. I don't really know what that reason is because I swear I'm not a J+M+RingFinger=JikookieMarried shipper at all!!
Just listen to me because you're going to be sorry and crying if you don't when you read my 10900 word dissertation of PURE concrete evidence with compiled pictures, videos, fanart and fan theory that I have attached to this ask. I used an AI program to help me put this portfolio together so obviously, you know that it's legit and 100% correct (Hopefully the attachment shows up but if not then I think it sadly might have disappeared with the YouTube videos)
Lots of love from ~Turn the V upside down and you get A for ARMY~ xx
Omg anon… you totally opened my eyes!

Relationships Masterpost
Below is a a list of headcanons, history and observations about AXXR Phil's relationships with the characters he interacts with most frequently in the rpverse.
Technoblade
Phil and Technoblade are long time besties :) Some aspects of their relationship may resemble queer platonic relationships, but their relationship is unlabeled. They are platonic soulmates and old war buddies.
Philza and Techno have a set of whistles and chirps that are meant to direct each other in battle.
Techno is Phil’s preferred helper for preening. Phil has the most trust in him, and Techno is extremely good at his job.
axxr Philza made a bargain for Technoblade’s conditional immortality for the price of having to reap the amount of souls equal to the weight of Techno’s every year. His status as a soul reaper and those related abilities stemmed from this.
Techno was also weirdly enough the #1 pick for last minute babysitter for Wilbur.
Due to Antarctic Empire lore being canon to axxr, this means that at some point Technoblade and Philza were emperors that conquered the world.
These two met in battle, and got in a weird mud wrestling match where they forgot they were supposed to be killing each other. They switched sides of the war to find the other then just reunited later on Hypixel.
Philza tends to be more of an open book around Techno, although he has a harder time conveying ideas to him when he is stressed. This is furthered by the fact that Phil often doesn’t like to tell Techno when he is genuinely hurt or had a traumatic experience, as that kind of vulnerability is hard for him.
Techno and Phil can communicate with each other through morse code as well.
Due to the large amount of time they spend together, they often can pick up on a lot of their cues and also know how to navigate mental health episodes.
They have also somewhat psychologically trained themselves to sleep better when they sleep together in the same room. They tend to have issues sleeping apart. This is a strictly platonic thing. They just like having their little sleepovers.
Additionally to note, Techno is one of the only people that Red has felt 100% comfortable telling his name to.
SUPER BEST FRIENDS.
Wilbur
Philza’s only biological son is Wilbur. Wilbur is a blue jay avian, Demigod of Death.
Wilbur knew about Phil’s bargain with death, as Phil knew about Wilbur’s. They had fought over this multiple times before Wilbur went through with his deal.
Phil and Wilbur had a somewhat uneasy relationship when Wilbur was younger, but their dynamic wasn’t ever bad. Wilbur always just had a preference for Technoblade.
I would say that Phil’s parenting style for Wilbur was largely very lax, but not neglectful. They were more like friends than father and son a lot of the time.
They are on somewhat neutral positive terms now, but their interactions remain mostly friendly.
Wilbur, having grown up with Phil, has a greater understanding of how Phil’s head works, as well as how the colorzas work and how Phil’s role as an angel impacts things.
That being said, Phil has a hard time lying to Wilbur and getting away with it.
Wilbur also is on the okay to preen list for obvious reasons.
Phil tends to bake cookies for Wilbur in an effort to cheer him up. He also, more recently, gives Wilbur crystal roses as a quiet way of saying ‘I love you’ without embarrassing him as much.
Phil is aware of Wilbur’s abilities.
Wilbur’s fluency in Talon, English/Common/Script and Ender make it very easy for them to communicate in alternative ways.
Phil taught Wilbur archery.
Phil taught Wilbur many things to help him survive based on his hardcore experiences.
Tommy
TOMMY IS NOT PHIL’S KID.
Phil tends to be on positive relations with Tommy and most of his annoyance is fond exasperation.
Just like in the dream smp, Phil is inclined to believe Tommy in general, especially around situations involving Dream.
He is not aware of the full extent of exile, but he is vaguely aware that Dream is/was dangerous to Tommy.
They most likely met through Wilbur. 
Tubbo
Phil’s relationship with Tubbo is ambiguous in his eyes, but he did help raise and take care of him after finding him in the box.tm.
They are on neutral terms.
Tubbo got his introduction to inventing from Philza.
Phil’s attention usually went to Wilbur, and that caused tension in their relationship. He eventually just let Tubbo go off with Tommy and Wilbur since he seemed happier with them.
Phil also provided an introduction to redstoning for Tubbo, as well as general survival guides.
Ranboo
Phil’s relationship with Ranboo is generally seen as positive.
Phil tends to have a general sense of trust for Ranboo, and despite liking to tease him, he generally chooses to be kind to him.
Phil had a hand in assuring Ranboo’s revival in the rpverse. 
He also brought Ranboo back down to the server. It seems that Ranboo does not like being flown by Phil.
Quackity
It’s unclear what his relationship is with Quackity at this point, but they seem to be on friendlier terms now.
They give each other a lot of shit.
There seems to be at least a baseline amount of respect between each other, following the explosion at Las Nevadas and Techno’s reconciliation with Quackity.
Foolish
Philza and Foolish are friends and former pen pals. 
They both respect each other’s ability to build and may know more about each other’s pasts than they like to let on.
Phil and Foolish sometimes will picnic and hang out.
Phil wants to collaborate on a build with Foolish at some point.
Despite appearances, Phil and Foolish are relatively similar in age. Foolish looks a lot younger though. 
Lady Death/Trixtin/Kristin
Philza is married to the Goddess of Death. He literally is Her Angel.
They officially met after Phil’s run in with the baby zombie, although they had seen glimpses of each other before that.
He fell in love with Her over time, although the line between Godly worship and romantic love tends to blur a little for him sometimes.
He asked Techno for advice on proposing to Her. She let him have a do over because the first time he ‘proposed’ he was pasted and Red. I assure you the actual proposal was very cute and very cheesy.
He likes to visit Her in his dreams at night. Sometimes it’s motivation for him to sleep more and more throughout the day so he could see Her again.
Phil likes to be held by Her. :)
They tend to be quite strange, chasing each other around the temple with foam guns and having little cat and mouse games.
Phil helped redesign Her realm.
The garden outside of Her throne room has multiple perches and birds. She added it to help Phil feel at home in Her realm.
He has been known to sit on Her shoulder and braid Her hair from time to time.
Death changes appearance depending on the perception of death. Phil sees death for how it is and sees beauty so he sees Her as something beautiful.

In a similar vein to that Davy ask, could you tell me some fun things about Faith? :D
BOY CAN I
She's actually trained in some kind of combat art but I dunno which one yet lmao
She has a motorcycle license and a motorcycle which she legally owns and prefers it to her car (she does have a car but it only works about 7% of the time)
Whether or not she legally owns the car, who's to say
She LOVES old movies. Her mom was strict about what kind of Content she was allowed to see growing up, but was under the impression that anything made before 1950 would be appropriate cause surely they'd NEVER put anything objectionable in an old movie. This one may or may not work depending on how modern I make the final setting but I like it mostly cause I also like old movies lmao
She knows Morse code. She did this so she and Hope could send secret messages to each other growing up
Not 100% sure I'll use this one, but in theory Nyra is actually a service dog (allergen detection). Main issue being that Nyra isn't the "right" breed to do that irl but then again it's a fantasy verse.
She does have a nut allergy and I'm NOT taking that out regardless of what I do with Nyra
She's dyslexic
She is an ACCOMPLISHED flirt and can win over just about anyone. Or So She Claims
If Davy's the Guy In A Horror Film Who Doesn't Die then Faith is the dumbass who would go walk into the basement cause she heard a weird noise. The reason SHE doesn't die is because she's tougher than anything else on the face of the Earth and all the ghosts and spirits and haunts look at her and go "wow she's so cool we'll just leave her alone :/ "
Okay not really but she has been INCREDIBLY lucky thus far. A combination of skill, charisma, and devil-may-care ballsiness.
She cheats at cards as do Davy and Lilah but she wins sometimes since she's a better cheater than Davy (not as good as Lilah)
She has a bad habit of answering the phone by going "hey Joe whaddya know" instead of saying the name of the store
She also greets customers like that
She is the kind of Horrid Dog Owner that lets her dog sleep on her bed and eat off her plate and stuff. She's definitely not as bad as the "treat the dog like a baby" types of people but she's one of the WILD ones

I was listening to episodes of Red Panda Chronicles earlier (again) and it clicked why the love square is so good and why I am so invested in them even after all this time - it's the same reason I have listened to all the episodes for Decoder Ring Theatre multiple times. The banter and the tension, the way they have each other's backs, the way they care about each other So Much (the love and near obsession)... just *chef's kiss*
And so I started trying to figure out a Red Panda AU but there are two ways to go about it and I don't know which one is better.
Option 1 is Adrien as Red Panda and Marinette as Flying Squirrel and Option 2 is the reverse with Marinette as Red Panda and Adrien as Flying Squirrel
So, Option 1:
Adrien as the Red Panda leans into his Rich Boy background and allows him to have the opportunity to Show off his brains that we are told exist and this role lets him do the Brainy role because it is science based and he does a lot of inventing. He is also oblivious (to her feelings at least, he is aware of his own)
It would also be interesting to see Adrien in the leader and the Brain role rather than Marinette, but at the same time part of why ML is great as is is due to having Mari in that role...
ANYWAY, I would have Adrien keep the Chat Noir name and persona rather than Red Panda, and he would definitely lean more into the Animal characteristics and costuming than Panda.
Cat Eyes instead of the blank white eyeballs
He would keep the Suit, that's such a look, but would tweak it: Cat Ears on the Fedora or some type of hat that looks more like cat ears, and the colors would change - more black and green, obviously
He might keep the claws too as an extra weapon during hand-to-hand combat
It would be a little bit of whimsy for OG Adrien if RPanda Adrien had the cat boots too, but I think the practicality of not having to change boots/shoes too much when suiting up would win out
The wanting to get into crime fighting "to push back the darkness" and to make up for his family being unrepentant capitalists fits Adrien I think, especially when also looking at how Panda views his civilian persona with distaste and views his hero self as who he Actually is. Which parallels the fandom "true self" ideas for CN but I think in this case, Adrien would be separating himself from his civilian persona - especially if he had been a model at some point before he took up the hero mantle.
He would also get to travel to get all that training - detective work, Mind Powers (Hypnosis), fighting, and magic, etc
You Know Adrien would love the Hypnosis powers, this is the same kid who learned morse code at 14
Also, his civilian persona is the vacuous playboy trope, but he is constantly forgetting dates or standing them up for crime-fighting (paralleling canon Kagami relationship)
Also, the scandal in Society because he has a female driver!! what gall
Marinette as the Flying Squirrel/Kit Baxter
SO the best part of this (in my head at least) is that they start out knowing identities, because RPanda trains the Squirrel but it is still years of romantic tension because Rich Elite Billionaire "Playboy" is her boss as a civilian and also in hero work (not that they aren't Partners, but there is still more of a Hero/Sidekick dynamic) and the DENIAL is strong on both sides - and neither make a move for years until Danger and life-threatening events happen.
Back to Marinette - There is definitely an awareness of Self in both identities. I think she would be a driver but also more assistant than Kit does - Adrien might be more involved in the Family company than RPanda but only marginally so Marinette might pick that up more - especially since I am not 100% sold on her becoming a journalist like Kit does later in the series. But it might make sense for the universe and getting information later. So... undecided.
I can see her staying as Ladybug as well. But definitely merging the costumes more - the Flying Squirrel membranes could also work as Ladybug wings. But again color dynamics would need to change - there's a lot of stakeouts and hiding in the shadows so it would need to be more Stealth than a Bright Ladybug Red. Probably incorporate more black and then having red accents.
The fun part would be meshing the Flying Squirrel chaos persona with Marinette's - so the flirting and testing boundaries but also the Feral-ness when fighting: Kicking Ass, Taking Names, and Knocking out Teeth all with a laugh and a grin. But also the flying/gliding through the city. I think this would just be a very confident but feral Marinette who is aware of her self but unsure of His feelings and so is constantly trying to figure it out and what makes him tick.
Also parallels canon with the concern for her partner and wanting to make sure he's okay and just Caring So Much (at least when canon is being Good)
Also, the Flying Squirrel Hates time travel.... which definitely matches up with Maribug
The two of them are just aware of each other all the time and can read each other's minds (even if one of them technically can do that all the time with basically everyone) but also trying to sneak up on each other and surprise them.
And the banter??? Off the charts, and half of it toes the edges of flirting and the other half definitely is flirting.
Option 2:
Marinette as Billionaire Secret Hero and Resident genius -
I think this one ties into Ladybug as the leader of the miraculous team, and the Brains - the one with the Plans. It would definitely lean into her mad genius side with her booby traps, engineering, and creative side. Also all of her work as guardian and doing the spells and such.
Red Panda is often very locked down emotionally and in denial which also fits Maribug, imo. Especially in this case purposeful obliviousness to his feelings and locking down her own for him as much as possible
I am not sure how to do costumes for this one Because I think it would be hilarious if Maribug is fighting in a 3-piece suit and trenchcoat complete with a hat and if Adrichat is the one in a catsuit, because of the way that it flips the traditional costuming dynamic. But at the same time, it makes more sense for Ladybug (size and identity-wise) to have the wings and for Chat Noir to Not Have Them. So I think this would require some Mix-and-Matching. A Chat Noir catsuit but add a trench coat. And maybe something a little more Kim Possible for a Ladybug as Red Panda costume.
Marinette getting the training for the Hypnosis powers would be the hardest part I think, because of the personal calm and having to sit still for long periods of time (because canon says days at a time meditating) because Marinette is definitely not a Quiet and Calm person.
But the detective skills definitely make sense for Marinette as well as some of the other skills that Red Panda has.
Adrien as Kit Baxter/The Flying Squirrel parallels really well personality-wise - partly the chaos and showing off the physical skills (and the physique) as well as the Flirting and boundary testing. There's definitely a lot of Dare-devil personality in the both of them, and Adrichat definitely leans towards physical combat and fisticuffs which is definitely a favorite of Kit's (also just the Kit->Kitten->Chat thing, even if her name is Katya shhhhh)
I also think Adrien having Kit's career path would be a lot of fun, and he would also pick up all the training that Red Panda/Ladybug would give him really fast.
And Marinette fighting crime to improve her city and help its citizens definitely makes sense, but their backgrounds would also have to be switched to make it make sense in terms of the Red Panda universe. Her sense of justice would be really strong, and in a setting where there is pushback for being the heir to the family company and fortune (without a husband) because of her being a woman would definitely push that dynamic forward.
And Adrien as Kit suspecting her as being Pandabug that he takes a job with her (the scandal then is that she hired this driver because of his looks and everybody suspecting and gossiping about what else he does for her) and then just pretending for months that he doesn't know because Marinette would definitely still not be great at lying. Until eventually it is revealed that he knows and then works his way into being the sidekick.
But him being a Ladybug fanboy is definitely a big part of why he takes the job and wants to work for and eventually with her, let alone the reason he starts falling for her. (But also yes she's so pretty)
Other stuff:
I haven't really thought about setting (location and time) let alone villains. But I think it would definitely be more Red Panda types of magic rather than ML types, so no kwamis at least as they exist in canon. Could probably incorporate them somehow in terms of the Council of Mages and The Stranger.
If one of them doesn't become a journalist to have access to information for cases then Alya would definitely make sense - but not have her killed like Jack Peters was. So either that story line never happens or she is one of the agents who gets transferred there when something happens to a different agent.
If it is the Marinette as Kit version, then Tom would make sense for having taught her boxing (and Sabine as Kit's mom would be highly entertaining). I Do Not Know what to do with Adrien's family in option 2 because 👀👀👀 y i k e s. His family makes so much more sense for him as the Red Panda version.
Oh my god Luka as Andy Parker would make a lot of sense because he would be an agent and definitely was crushing on Ladybug/flying squirrel but I Cannot picture Luka as a cop so hmmmm
Manon as Harry "Eagle Eyes" Kelly makes a lot of sense, especially then later becoming a cub reporter (but I don't know about having Manon become the Black Eagle later that... could get messy - would definitely require some character development since there isn't a lot in canon to work with for this aspect)
I think that's all I have at this point...

3, 6, 16, 21, 26, 29 -> for both ships in case some don't apply etc etc <3
ahhhh thank you <3
Tumblr media
3. Jealousy issues?
jkfas;ldfkjasdfadsf jealousy issues? with a jacobship? 100%. Jacob will never admit it, but his possessiveness does stem from jealousy...at least a tiny bit. I think jacob's got some self-worth issues, and on a certain level he's aware of them. he knows he's not a good man, so part of him does worry that syb will wise up and leave for someone...better...
6. Double Date? Thoughts? Who?
afl;kjafdl;fjaf no. you think jacob is going to share syb's attention with anyone? no way
but...au where syb doesn't kill shaw...the idea of a jakesyb/shawstaci double date is soooo funny to me. I think they'd go bowling and to spice things up syb and Staci would be a team while jacob and shaw are another. jacob and shaw lose so fucking bad, it's almost sad (but mostly its funny)
16. Who cooks most?
syb. she's better at it than jacob is. since she'll...you know...actually season things. I firmly believe jacob's cooking skills begin and end at the grill. man is eating unmarinaded grilled chicken and unseasoned steamed veggies and plain white rice and that is it. syb takes one look at that and goes "no thank you, I'd like to enjoy my meal" and cooks something else lmao. not that Jacob minds. he likes watching her cook. it's what she was doing when he had his oh moment. and once she joins the cult, she'll occasionally work the kitchens at st. francis and help give the chosen and the hunters some actually good food when they do a good job/have earned it.
21. Movie Night?
jacob strikes me as more of a reader, and so is syb, so movie nights happen less often (also what are they gonna watch? I don't think either of them are really into whatever cult propaganda films john wanted to make). they're far more likely to read together. but I think every now and then, if they're able to get their hands on some old reels, they'll watch some stuff from the earlier decades of cinema.
26. If they have kids, who named them? What would they name them?
in the bunker buddies au, they do have a kid! but they're both bad at naming things (animals...objects...people...). due to her combat injuries, having a child is unlikely and dangerous, so the fact that she was able to carry their baby almost to term before having to have an emergency c-section is a miracle. and that's what they call their child for a long time. their "little miracle." after a few months of this they're like "we should probably give her an actual name, huh?" and syb is like "well...what about mira? short for 'miracle'?" and Jacob said "yeah, sure, that works for me."
29. Who said I Love You, first?
r;fkjafsd;aldfskj so real talk, I don't think they actually verbally say "I love you" until after they're reunited in new dawn. like...they know they love each other. they've proven it time and time again before the bunker years. they never felt the need to say it, they just knew. but after the bunker years, when they find each other again, I think "I love you" is one of the first things they say to each other when they cling to each other. Jacob says it verbally out loud while syb is tapping it in Morse code against his back. both of them are crying.
Tumblr media
3. Jealousy issues?
no not really. both of them are pretty comfortable in their relationship. sure, eli worries about the interest Jacob takes in syb, but that's less jealousy and more genuine concern because uh...he knows what Jacob does to people and he doesn't want syb to be conditioned to serve the cult.
6. Double Date? Thoughts? Who?
oooh. idk why but my initial thought was joey/mary may. in the universe where sybeli happens, the disaster of sybjoey never happens so she and syb remain close friends in that timeline. I think they think double dates are fun on occasion, and having the company of another couple is nice when they're actually going out-out, but for the most part they keep to themselves.
16. Who cooks most?
when they actually have time/ingredients? they're cooking together. I like to think that eli is really good at cooking whatever game he catches and has family recipes memorized. and syb isn't a terrible cook herself and is a master when it comes to seasoning and marinading things, so they're a pretty good team in the kitchen.
but for the most part (in their "canon" verse anyways) they're eating MREs and instant noodles lbr
21. Movie Night?
awwww now I'm just imagining Wheaty organizing militia movie nights <3 tbh I think syb and Eli are fans of 80s action/sci-fi movies. Indiana Jones, John carpenter films, terminator, robocop, the og mad max movies. stuff like that.
26. If they have kids, who named them? What would they name them?
lol realistically they would adopt, take in some poor kid and raise them as a member of the whitetails/in the bunker. but assuming an au where syb successfully gets pregnant and carries a baby to term, eli ends up naming the baby. syb is awful at naming things (see the jakesyb answer to this question), so after she exhausts all the little pet names she's just like "eli...help..."
that said, considering their animal symbolism (syb a hare and eli a white tailed deer) I consider their baby a jackalope so...I hereby name their child "jacqueline (jackie) palmer"
29. Who said I Love You, first?
Eli. Syb is almost physically incapable of saying the words herself. she'll always answer "you too," whenever he says it. she does mean it though. she just has a difficult time verbalizing her emotions and is much more likely to express her affection in other ways (ie...acts of service or physical touch)

August 2023 CW Radio activities. Adrenalizing Morsecode.
QSL-Admin: Last update on received QSL cards and Honour Roll results were from Januari 2020, so lots of work to do. My Logbook is Excel based from 2008 until today. 1978 - 2007 is a paper Logbook.
Status HR January 1st 2020 was 257 CW 9B DXCC.
Lots of New Band and 6 new DXCC (VP8, FR, Z6, XZ, XT, JX) until sofar it brings me to 263 DXCC in CW.
Pfft...
EU HF contest: Last time I Joined was 2009! No good condx I noticed, 10 was dead, but 15 - 40 were ok for 101 QSO,s and just when I wanted to try 80m, a thunderstorm came accross my QTH. I had to disconnect and lower my antenna's. Exchange was snr and year of first licence. Good to see there are lots of new entrants in HAM-radio. (doing Morse-code!)
Surplus Radio Society (SRS): A former boardmember, sent a strange mail, in a very un-usual way. Hmm, that's not the way it should go, in my humble opinion. OK, we have some "after-Corona_struggles" in this strange "social-media-oriented-society" but we have to solve this struggles with vision, organisation and avove all: Passion for Surplus Radio. It could be that we have to review our Vision and Future plans, so I was happy to read the boards' future plans in the March Surplus Radio Bulletin (P3). Upgrading towards more modern technology feels strange, but I was (again) happy to read some nice articles about Homebrew AM tube TX, AfterWW2 equipment from Drake and Collins, besides lots of inspiring Surplus oriented articles in the last two bulletins # 109 & 110. Last thing I would like to mention is activity, and at this point I can improve myself, and maybe some other members as well. I will start with more activity on 3.568MHz CW. The GRC 3030 is my best performer here, or perhaps the "modern but "all-tube-Drake TR4"?
Saturday 12th, TR4 on air, after trying some crackling switches it came alive, so QRV at 3.568 tuned it at this frequency with 100 Watts output, using the Vibroplex Standard LH from 2004. During the following QSO's I had severe switch-contract-problems so I will have to open the cabinet and clean the sitches in a proper way.
Last few days in August: Another Antenna experiment/modification is changing the feedline of my Sky Wire antenna. It was an open wire feedline, 28 meters long, slooping towards my shack, which is in the basement of our house. All Coax cables are led into my shack via an underground 250mm PVC pipe with an length of 21 meters. I made my own type of Twinax by taking two lengts of 23m RG11 A/U 75 Ohm coax to make a 150 Ohm Shielded parallel line. The last part of the feedline is stil open line, ca 17 meters up from the outdoor patching cabinet upwards to the loop connection point. RG-63 125 Ohm is probably a better alternative, but was not available here, so I decided to make it this way. First results are ok for 30 to 80 meters. The only difference is a smaller bandwidth when tuning. 160 meters is not OK yet, as I cannot tune the Loop on the TOP-band. Something to investigate in September.

Clemmy: What’s up guys? I’m back. Oli: What the- you can’t be here. You’re dead. I literally saw you die. Clemmy: Death is a social construct.
Sol: *Gets down on one knee* Clemmy: Oh my god, it’s finally happening. Sol: *Falls over* Clemmy: The poison is kicking in.

50 Durin House Rules And Other Declarations:
(Everyone lives AU)
51. Stop stealing Thorin’s beads and claim Dis has hid them.
52. Don’t sell Mithril shirts for own profit.
53. Dwalin is not allowed in the training room for longer than six hours a day. He needs rest too.
54. Don’t help Dwalin sneak into the training room. Even if he claims to cover for your next prank.

56. Don’t let Fili sew anything.

67. Don’t leave Kili alone after horror movies. Ever.
68. Thorin, medical issues must be tended to. Whether you deem it necessary or not. Stop using the “it’s my stab wound” card. It’s not cool, it’s worrisome.
69. Taping a giant picture of Freddie Mercury on the throne is not appreciated.
70. Neither is ordering someone to make a portrait of him and hanging it in the hall of kings.
71. Stop dressing up in those inflatable dinosaur suits.
72. Don’t hand Dis a weapon. No matter the circumstances.
73. Fili is not allowed in the forges without supervision.
74. Kili is not qualified as supervision.
75. STOP.BRINGING.WOLVES.HOME.
76. Replacing Thorin’s wardrobe with bright green dresses is no longer a fun joke.
77. Wearing only a bathrobe is inappropriate and not a ‘fashion statement’.
78. Stop re-acting the Mustafar scene from Revenge of the Sith in the treasure room.
79. Claiming you need to because the lightsabers were 300 gold pieces each is not our problem. It’s yours.
80. Stop trying the hang the earlier mentioned Freddie Mercury portrait in the meeting hall. It is not a better alternative than the hall of kings.
81. DO NOT PROCEED TO HANG THE PORTRAIT BACK IN THE HALL OF KINGS AFTER THIS HAS BEEN SAID.
82. Both of them are not agreeable spots to hang the portrait.
83. Balin is not your servant. Don’t usher him to get you cookies when you’re too lazy to get out of bed.
84. Don’t use slang on Dis.
85. “What do you think you’re doing” is a theoretical question. We don’t actually want to know what you think you’re doing.
86. Using morse code to communicate with each other during dinner is no longer appreciated.
87. Don’t ‘vibe-check’ Thorin.
88. Minecraft is not something you can major in and is not considered a good future plan.
89. During scrabble night, we use normal words. Not words like ‘himbo’ or ‘fergalicious’.
90. ‘Bring back the Mercury portrait’ is not a valid petition.
91. When saying ‘healthy coping mechanisms’, we meant something like writing. Not screaming.
92. Do not touch Kili’s Jim Carrey dvd collection.

95. Redecorating the throne room without approval of Thorin is not a considerable hobby.
96. “I don’t like sand” is not a normal way to start a conversation.
97. Dis needs at least 20 hours for herself a day (sleep included)
98. If you need more time with Dis, payment is two gold pieces per minute.
99. We already created a room dedicated to the Mercury portrait. Stop trying to hang up it elsewhere or it will be destroyed.
100. The portrait will not be destroyed as the thought of it makes Kili cry.

TMBS Book 1 Brain Dump
~An Embarrassingly Long Post~
I don’t know why I’m writing this or why I’m so determined to do it. Maybe to finally assume my true form and become a mega dork on main, or maybe just for fun!
This is basically a compilation of all the main points running through my head after reading The Mysterious Benedict Society (2007) for the first time. Rather than posting a ton and spamming the tag, everything’s here in one neat package! (hopefully this gets it all out of my system rip)
Contents:

Spoilers abound!
The Book Itself
Upon acquiring the first three books (don’t judge me pls), I was surprised at just how long they are. Like, they’re still pretty light being paperbacks and all, but these books are hefty lads.
The first book has this Disney+ Original Series circle thing printed on it, which is kind of unfortunate. Regardless, I love the cover illustration and yellow is actually my favorite color :D It made me weirdly quite happy whenever I saw the book lying around in my room
Also, it’s really cute how there’s a letter from Mr. Benedict at the end! (It only reveals that you can find out his first name if you “know the code”, meaning the bit of Morse printed below the summary on the back.) Shock and horror, though, as I realized I’m starting to recognize some of the letters
Tumblr media
The Book Itself, for real this time
It’s wonderful how the tone of the book really shone through to the show adaptation. Something about the deliberateness of the aesthetic, from the set designs to the fashion to scene compositions, that really sells that particular style— like it’s very clear that this story is being told to us, rather than one we’re seeing unfold, if that makes sense.
Where that narration style stood out to me the most was the first chapter. We are told (rather than shown) how Reynie gets himself to the point of the second test, and there’s this whole twisty time maneuver for that whole sequence of events that’s really interesting
A super secret fun fact about me is that I wanted to be a writer when I was younger! So this particular balance of show vs. tell is really neat, since it runs counter to my own tendencies. The sheer amount of commas in every sentence is also kind of comforting, since Ahah, I Do That in those few serious-ish attempts at writing lol
Overall this book’s style reminds me a lot of Roald Dahl’s books, which are very nostalgic for me :D The whole “kids are more competent than adults” angle helps a lot too haha
The Characters
Oh boy here’s where I get a little bit critical! Overall I did really like this book!! it’s just that that expresses itself in all this weird “”analysis”” lol
Reynie - much better in the books than in the show
It’s sort of a lukewarm take but I feel like show!Reynie is kind of boring? He doesn’t have a lot going on flaw-wise, and obviously since he’s the protagonist he can’t have too many weird traits or else the kids watching can’t project themselves onto him as easily
(I call it the difference between an aspirational protagonist and a vessel protagonist. Going off of the Roald Dahl vibes, think Matilda vs Charlie. show!Reynie is more of a Charlie)
Thus when we get to see him really struggle with the Whisperer and doubt himself it gives him a lot more dimension, at least in my opinion
It is a federal crime that the white knight scenes were not adapted into the show
Sticky - my son
I’ve long held to no one besides myself and my long suffering sister that Sticky is The Best Member of the Society
He happened to hit a lot of the Bingo squares of Stuff I Like In Characters: glasses, anxious, nice :), kind of a coward but ultimately is there for his friends, etc
For some reason I don’t talk about him nearly as much as you-know-who, but I love him just as dearly
Kate & Constance - I don’t have much to say
Kate is really interesting in this book! I like how we get to see more of her depths, in particular that one passage about her belief that she is invincible being the only thing that keeps her from falling apart? :c
Also her constant fidgeting is relatable lol
Constance is somehow a lot more tolerable in the book. I think I’m just one of those people with no patience for small children, unfortunately lol
(Some of) The Adults
It’s interesting that they had such an offscreen presence for most of the book. Giving them more time was probably one of the stronger changes of the show
However if that decision was made at the expense of the white knight scenes I think the choice should have been clear
I like the way Rhonda and Number Two are written
Milligan always on sad boy hours 😔✊
The “mill again” passage is touching but kind of messes up the pacing of the getaway, at least for me. Maybe I should read it again to make sure I didn’t miss something
Miss Perumal is much better in the show. We see so little of her in the book she doesn’t function well as an emotional anchor for Reynie, imo
The Institute Gang
Jackson and Jillson serve their purpose well, and Martina was surprising to say the least. I like the direction they took her in the show! I can’t imagine how funny it must have been to watch the tetherball subplot come out of nowhere lolol
These sections were written out of sequence, so random tidbit I couldn’t fit in The S.Q. Section: I like how he stumbles over his words. relatable
Mr. Curtain
While I think I know why they decided to not give Curtain the wheelchair in the show, we were totally robbed of Actor Tony Hale’s performance for the reveal during the final confrontation
Speaking of the wheelchair, it’s such a powerful symbol of his need for control or rather, his fear of losing it
The Contrast between him and Mr. Benedict. This point is expanded on in A Funny Parallel
Mr. Benedict
Oh boy, Mr. Benedict… How do I say this
I find it hard to trust Mr. Benedict, unfortunately
I mean to say, I do in the sense that I know he would never hurt the kids, thanks to knowing that a) this is a children’s book series and b) the meta (tumblr) states that he is really nice and lovable and stuff, but seriously. Why do the kids trust him at first?? I probably missed something somewhere
I like to think I’m an optimistic person, but unfortunately I’m also super paranoid. The premise of “a bunch of vulnerable orphans team up with a strange old man” is just so odd to me I don’t know how to explain it
I don’t know!!! I really want to trust Mr. Benedict
One of the strengths of the show is that we get to see him more often, and thus he gets to acknowledge more often that the plan is weird and that he feels really badly for putting the kids in danger and that he’s trustworthy and genuine
But his lack of presence for most of the book just makes him into something of a specter, invisible and unknowable, speaking only in riddles from across the bay
Which is why the white knight scene is so important!! I loved that scene ;-;
Because here’s an actual emotional connection! We can actually see it happening, rather than only being told that it exists
Reynie asking for advice and receiving encouragement, in words that demonstrate that Mr. Benedict actually cares about him and worries about him and agghh
It is a federal crime that the white knight scenes were not adapted into the show
But overall this whole issue didn’t ruin my enjoyment of the book at all! It’s just ->
A Funny Parallel
Okay, ready for my biggest brain, hottest take ever??
Mr. Benedict and Mr. Curtain…. are… the same
I mean obviously not entirely, given that one is benevolent and kind and the other is… Mr. Curtain
But seriously. Genius old man seeks out children (mainly orphans) to enact a plan. Said children often end up incredibly devoted to his cause and deeply admire him this is a little flimsy
Undoubtedly that’s intentional and is supposed to show the difference between them, like some kind of cautionary tale? “Let yourself be vulnerable and let others help you, lest you turn eeeeviiillll”
I guess that’s where the aforementioned epic contrast comes in. You get Mr. Curtain, strapped into his wheelchair and hiding behind those mirrored sunglasses, terrified (but unwilling to admit it) of ever showing the tiniest hint of vulnerability, vs. Mr. Benedict, who can let himself fall knowing that someone will catch him :’)
Anyhow I have nothing against the parallels, I just think it’s funny
The S.Q. Section
The S.Q. Quarantine Thread so it doesn’t leak out everywhere else <3
I’d like to meet the emo angstlord genius who read this book and decided to make SQ into Dr. Curtain’s son. What in the world
Okay I should probably preface this by saying that I absolutely adore both book!S.Q. and show!SQ with all my heart. Somehow, despite being a completely different character in both mediums, he has managed to be one of the best characters in either and certainly one of my favorites (besides Sticky of course) in the entire franchise, despite the fact that I’ve only read the first book/watched the show so far. I am confident in this statement.
But seriously! How?? Why?? I could probably write a whole other essay about why show!SQ is such an interesting character, and the change works so incredibly well. I’m just. Baffled
Okay, focus. book!S.Q. is such a sweetheart, oh my goodness. Like, 100% one of the most endearing characters in the book. Poor guy. I don’t even know where to start!!
He just seems to be a genuinely good guy at heart, despite being technically one of the bad guys. He’s genuinely happy for Reynie and Sticky when they became Messengers and helped Kate when she “fell” and was concerned about Constance when she looked sick and how he was in that meeting with Mr. Curtain and Martina?!!? aaahhhhghgh ;-; he just wants people to be happy TT-TT
Comparing him against literally every character at the Institute is probably what makes him so endearing tbh. When everyone else is so awful to the kids, it really makes him stand out. Like a cheerful little nightlight in the worst, most humid and rank bathroom you’ve ever been in
Tumblr media
It’s kind of pointless to theorize about a book series that’s already concluded (I think?) but. Is the implication of S.Q.’s forgetfulness supposed to be that Mr. Curtain used him in brainsweeping experiments somehow? The timeline probably definitely absolutely doesn’t line up but like. How did he get to being a Messenger being the way he is now, given how cutthroat the process is? And then of course Mr. Curtain keeps him around as an Executive because he’s fun to mess with and presumably his loyalty. I’m very curious as to how their relationship develops in the other books, if at all. Those are probably where the seeds of the “let’s make them family” logic were planted
But wouldn’t it be hilarious if the reason we don’t know what “S.Q.” stands for in the books is that he just. Forgot
Another thing that occurred to me. Given that he and the other Executives were Messengers at some point, what were their worst fears? What is S.Q.’s worst fear?? Inquiring minds need to know
One last horrible little anecdote: I was thinking about book!S.Q. while eating breakfast, as one does, and suddenly it hit me.
I want to believe The Author Trenton Lee Stewart had the name for a character, S.Q. Pedalian, and was like, “Hm! What sort of quirky trait should this young fellow have?” Because, of course, in this style of fiction every character has to have at least one cartoonish or otherwise distinguishing trait to stand out in the minds of children. (For instance, Kate has her bucket, Sticky has his glasses, Constance is angry, and Reynie is Emmett from the Lego Movie)
Anyhow, he looks around the room, searching for inspiration. Suddenly he comes across a jumbo box of plastic wrap. Completely innocuous in design, save for one line of text. 300 SQ FT.
“…large… S.Q. …feet? THAT’S IT!” i’m sorry
Lines & Scenes I Liked
In no particular order!
Sticky quotes Sun Tzu, The Art of War
Evil combination aerobics/square dancing in the gym with the Executives
Everyone being happy at the end :’)
Everyone partying after Sticky reunites with his parents, and later finding Mr. Benedict asleep at his desk from the moment they shook hands :’’)
Literally any scene with Sticky in it
Any time Kate says “you boys” or “gosh”
[“Um, sir?” S.Q. said timidly, raising his hand. “A thought just occurred to me.” / Mr. Curtain raised his eyebrows. “That’s remarkable, S.Q. What is it?”] clown prince of my heart </3
S.Q.’s determined monologue about searching for clues after he bungled up the first time
Literally any scene with S.Q. in it (please refer to The S.Q. Section)
Reynie trying to resist the Whisperer.
[Let us begin. / First let me polish my spectacles, Reynie thought. / Let us begin. / Not without my bucket, Reynie insisted. He heard Mr. Curtain muttering behind him. / Let us begin, let us begin, let us begin. / Rules and schools are tools for fools, Reynie thought.]
NO MORE HURTIN’ WITH CURTAIN
Milligan showing up on the island!!
Remember the white knight hhhhhh
“controle”
A Super Secret Bonus Section
I would be extremely surprised if anyone read through all the way down here lol. Regardless, here’s a little acknowledgements section :D not tagging anyone since I don’t want to bother all of these people
Special shoutout to tumblr blog stonetowns for unknowingly yet singlehandedly demolishing my reluctance to read the books by posting a ton of cute quotes. Thank you for your service o7
Thanks to the two OGs that liked the post I made right before this one, for being my unwitting enablers and for sticking around despite being a) technically an internet stranger (hello!) and b) someone I haven’t spoken to irl in literal years (hey!!)
Last but not least thankz 2 my sister for putting up with me ranting about the book when I first got it and for asking about “CQ” sometimes lol. (i desperately hope you’re not reading this orz)
