so i saw this old-ish post about an au centering around a villain lewis and a hero arthur,,, and i. may have gotten attached to it,, dkdndkdjs. so i decided to make some edits + doodles based on it!! i also really wanna make a lil oneshot about it as well,, but uh... whether or not i actually follow through on that, we'll see,, skdjsojdks.

Let the revenge games begin.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

am i gonna be normal about glass onion? no i’m not

you don’t understand, benoit blanc movies are THE whodunit of our generation, the new original mystery movies that are not an adaptation! and i want them to have a very happy and long life!

I binge read @ruensroad’s glorious fic A Voice You Hear With Your Heart (belated congrats on surviving NaNoWriMo hon!) and because I am currently incapable of forming coherent thoughts for a review, have a rough approximation of the fic cover I had stuck in my head :D

sorry for the dogshit quality but. i'm rewatching and they are driving me even more insane than before. do you guys see this. can you believe they don't fuck for like two more seasons

"Your son?" "My apprentice, but I think of him like a son."

Not a request, but after the past few posts I wanted to let you know that I saw the Detective Conan 4D / live action show at USJ last week and that was my first official introduction to the series. Seriously considering going down this rabbit hole now.

go forth and enjoy batshit insane detective stories. ignore the fact that theres 1125 chapters this is a normal manga that will definitely end someday

Ok so one time I took a nap and had this incredibly vivid dream that I was scrolling through Twitter and GLITCH had posted a teaser image for Episode 6 and it was just a picture of Thad standing in the woods, watching. He stood kinda limp and had the wide DD smile on his face

GLITCH please bring my boy back I’m BEGGINGF

Considering how little we know so far about the case,

i need more cozy mysteries where the amateur sleuth isn't married to a fucking cop and doesn't fucking have one as a love interest. and also doesn't have random fatphobia for no reason

trying to plot out a xichen/huaisang emma au solely for the purposes of slotting jin guangyao and nie mingjue into the already married siblings role. in theory this leaves us with no one to play emma's dad but no they're both emma's dad for maximum impact. and obviously jin guangyao is also the nanny. and it ends with huaisang vowing to be worse, actually.

Robert Louis Stevenson: "Whelp. That's the end of it. The mystery is all cleared up, and I figure I don't need to continue with the story."

Us, having all known the answer from the start and only being invested in Utterson at this point: "Excuse Me What."

you don;t get to learn about this one either (you will). if i tell you this thing is about death and murder you would have to trust me

me watching episodes 1 to 7 of Deadloch: someone kill James I hate this man with a passion I hope he's the killer or murdered in a terribly way from his own arrogance

me watching episode 8 of Deadloch in horror: .....I'm sorry for wishing this, he still fundamentally sucks but maybe no one deserves having their tongue cut out like that, I have regrets and wish our heroes got there sooner

then and now

hee hoo i got an idea for an npc today meet the seer and excuse the shite quality for this is a screenshot and not a saved png file

what i got on them during the first 30-40 minutes of existence: >a seer is not a magical skill one is born with, it's a profession. once all the procedures and rituals are done, the seer sees what nobody else can. >one can become a seer if they posess certain qualities. most desired trait among potential candidates is heterochromia, particularly blue/brown. if the previous seer retires and no one in the population has this trait, the board sets up a festival with a lottery. >anyone can be a seer regardless of nationality, religion, gender and race. with one exception: warforged cannot be seers. one might think they would be an ideal candidate, not minding the conditions and being able to serve for a long while, but their non-biological body is an issue for the board. >the chosen seer will have their eyes removed. in their place mirrors will be installed. their hair will also be separated into six parts and braided into the pillar behind them. >the pillar functions as a job contract. the seer cannot move from their post unless they cut their hair. there is a minimum time a seer must serve and that time is marked by the lenght of hair. by the time they can reach the brass scissors on the opposite side of the room, they can choose to part ways with their post and return to normal life. some choose to remain there for longer, some until their death. >why would anyone let themselves be trapped in one place for several years? besides the painful surgery resulting with permanent loss of sight and being bereft of freedom, it's a pretty cushy position. the seers garner a lot of respect and have all their needs met. they are well taken care of by their attendants who bring them good food, drink and things of that nature + their families are granted a sort of allowance. they also receive expert healthcare they would not otherwise had access too in normal circumstances. most seer applicants come from the poorer parts of society that wish to escape poverty by any means necessary. parents frequently try to make their children become seers so they can live an easier life.

>despite the relatively nice living conditions, the stress of being bound to a place for too long and the inability to move around too much can lead to loss of sanity. the current seer started digging with their hands on the ground next to them, breaking nails and tearing the skin and flesh. she has not lost the clarity of mind, but there is a lot of pent up tension that needed to find an exit. not everyone takes well to this lifestyle, but there are instances of ex-seers who walked it off just fine. possibly those whose hair grew fast, but who knows.

>all seers who died a seer get a special burial. their body is embalmed and taken on a procession to make them experience the outside world for the last time. after that their mirror "eyes" are removed and their body is laid in a brass sarcophagus at the place of the seer's origin. the portrait of the late seer is hanged on the gallery wall of their post.
