I’m sorry, WHAT does this ad have to do with ISRAEL? Did I miss something? Or do you have nothing to do with your pathetic little lives and derive pleasure only from being antisemites?
God, every day it gets SO MUCH HARDER to maintain hope and faith in humanity.

Sooo I came [back] to the SPN fandom after many many years of being completely out and [thanks to my dearest] this time I'm going to fully dedicate myself to wincest.
Naturally, I'm a multishipper. I don't care much how many other pairings with my fav chars exist / usually I ship more than one thing per fandom or per character.
But them. Oh, them.
The Winchesters. Sam and Dean. Dean and Sam. I hear how their names merge in my head into something entwisted so much it'll never get unraveled again.
They. Have. Everything.
In my usual little doll plays with the characters I prefer to go rather dark. Rather sick. Sometimes, rather dirty. Not for the sake of general evilness, naturally and inevitably inherent to being an artist, but for the sake of feelings.
The contrast is better where it's darker. The light is brighter. The love is sweeter when there's pain, the hope is luminous when there's despair. The contrast enhances the emotional impact.
But Dean and Sam? Sam and Dean?
They already have it. They have everything and anything. The pitch black and the beam light. It's been made canon, probably, years ago.
Then I thought: what had ever made my brain go full-time crazy mod? What had ever squeezed my heart so tight I couldn't breathe?
Here are some of the best [imo] moment of my other fandom's biggest OTPs. Some ships are canon, some are not. But all of the moments DID canonically happens. [I'm using X & Y so it's more descriptive]
X & Y are constantly being forced to fight each other despite their genuine connection. the forcing power massively prevails their own. that's how their relationship starts... and how it ends, with X finally forced to kill Y. then X has to restart the whole world so they could be together again.
X & Y met when both were mentally down and then spent a horrible amount of time being tortured in the cruelest way alongside each other. later, they could let go of their twisted connection. but they don't.
X silently begs Y to kill him after committing the Literally Worst Crimes Possible for which he'll never forgive himself. Y complies. Y never stops thinking about X.
X spends his whole life protecting Y with growing understanding that Y will never accept his nature.
X sacrifices himself sexually, mentally and physically at once to the person he despises the most - simply in order for Y to get away from that monster.
X (who's kind of been a psycho murderer) went through a terrible experience where half his personality got destroyed. Y takes care of him despite the previous attempt of X to kill Y in cold blood. They end up fixing it (in a way).
X is obsessed with Y to a weird, absolutely not redeemable level. Body dismemberment included.
X is successfuly fighting the massive-level brainwashing so he doesn't hurt Y, although everyone they both knew and loved die around them.
X goes so mental after Y dies that he is committing a terrorist attack suicide so the world could feel their pain.
X goes full on self-sacrifice during a rescue attempt for Y [okay that's way more than one thing but it gets me every time!]
X says "Hey Y, we die together or no way at all". and so they do.
X never recovers after betraying Y and later goes through big torture time with the thought it was deserved for that betrayal.
X & Y [& a kid] slash through an endless amount of enemies so they could be a family together
X & Y are destined to be together but they go "fuck destiny"... and stay together for who they are.
X & Y fight together against a clearly overpowered villain. and win.
X & Y seem to desperately want to finish each other off but never act upon it when there's an opportunity. they're so different that they're the same.
X dies in a stupid accident. Y tries to save his life, and, when it's not possible anymore, dies alongside, refusing to live in a world without him.
X dies and Y can't let go of the corpse. Even when the rotting visibly starts.
X has memory issues but he's done some terrible things (child murder, massacre). There is solid proof. Y does not believe that for a second, because Y knows X to the core.
None, I mean it, none of these is wincest.
But, looking back... How many of them fit to be? How many of them could fit with the right situation? How many of literally (imo) most heart-moving tropes seem to be made for this pairing of brothers whose love trascends any normal limits?
So, yeah... I'm really gonna dedicate myself to wincest these days.

SSO Horrors
A post diving into how dark this franchise’s storyline gets and ideas for a horror game that will never actually be created. SPOILERS for the SL books and SSO storyline.
This idea originally came to me after reading the second book of the SL trilogy, The Legend Awakens. Props to Helena Dahlgren for the Pine Hill Manor scenes in that book; I was completely left on the edge of my seat the entire time. Linda’s whole experience was definitely an unexpected thriller for the children’s genre; cutting her leg on a broken window, exploring an old creepy mansion owned by the centuries-old psychopath that was targeting her, her friends, and their horses, being chased down halls and having to barricade herself in rooms to be protected from the apparent non-human dark riders (not to mention the way Dahlgren describes the animal sounds and scratching that they made, chills), and, to top it all off, nearly dying from sepsis due to her cut becoming infected.... if that’s not horror game material, I don’t know what is.
If you can’t already tell from the title of this post, I am a huge fan of the horror genre. The suspense-packed and often deep moral stories are always a fun watch/read. I personally am currently making my way through some classic Stephen King books that I haven’t read yet which was sort of what inspired this post.
Taking a look at SSO’s storyline on the surface level, we see a classic dark vs. light story, with horses and female heroines as the main points. However, there are quite a few darker elements hidden among the story quests, most of which would only be noticeable to the eye of the older audience of the game. The potential for this plot to be upped to a more mature level as far as darker themes go is definitely there. Regardless, the already existing underlying themes have some heavy themes...
- Teenagers, around the ages of 15-19, have been tasked with saving the world from a demonic entity. They have been granted special powers to do this with. These powers however can be extremely dangerous, as we see with both Alex and Catherine with their Lightning Circle incidents, in which they almost killed living beings. These factors combined would no doubt take some sort of psychological toll on the Soul Riders, as they are so named.
- Brainwashing and cult-mindset was a huge theme brought up with Justin’s kidnapping. He was abruptly cut off from the outside world, had his memories removed, and his mind artificially filled with thoughts of Garnok and world domination. It’s clear when he is rescued and goes back to his home that he’s depressed; his Midsummer dialogue a year back was “My dad thought it would be good for me to get out. I don’t do that much anymore” (not exact but close enough). When he talks to his mother during the memories quests the first thing he jumps to seeing her pregnant with him is “I wonder if she’d would be so excited if she knew all the terrible things I did”. To add to that, upon getting Justin back home, Thomas tells our character “If he keeps having these dark thoughts, I’ll have to turn to the druids.” That in itself was pretty unsettling. All this dialogue was put there to draw attention to the mental affects of literally having your brain tampered with.
- Elizabeth’s story was probably one of the saddest in my opinion. She had to stand by while her friend group fell apart, one going on to die, one going missing, and the other two continuing to split away from her. She then felt it was her responsibility to make up for her sisterhood’s failures, staying with the druids and eventually helping recruit new Soul Riders. Seriously though, imagine that. She saw what pain the magical war brought to her and her friends; knowing that she was pushing four more kids into a situation like that would’ve been devastating (here comes the morals vs. duty idea). Our character must have been a whole other level of that feeling. She saw what Catherine went through with her magic - the fear, the near madness. Then of course she goes on to imprison her close friend’s son (it appeared from the quests that she was closest to Catherine so that just adds to the pain). And to end it all, she sacrifices herself to save a girl who she considered a daughter.... jeez. - Catherine is another issue here for obvious reasons. A teenage girl is entrusted with goddess-level powers, then nearly goes psycho from the inability to control them. You can clearly tell from her last few diary entries how exhausting that was and how happy she was to finally have a somewhat normal life with her husband and son.
- And finally of course we have the DC gang. Mr. Sands is a basket case all on his own, a man who has used mind control (arguably in my opinion one of the creepiest forms of dark magic out there) on numerous victims including his own grandson, a man who legitimately worships a demon, and not to mention has it out for a bunch of teenagers. His whole backstory with Rosalinda made me feel some sort of sympathy for his character (he watched her nearly be drowned to death), and I’m actually quite curious as to where they’re going to take that. Also, The Nightmare Institute? That could be a horror game within itself. All we know so far about that place is that humans and animals are tested on with dangerous materials (ex. Mr. Anwir). Let’s not forget to mention the dark riders who apparently have animal qualities now? (as it was described in the SL books) Ok so we can clearly see that SSO’s storyline gets a bit dark. But just imagine; a Pine Hill Mansion first-person POV game, where you’re in a situation similar to Linda’s, or even one in DC or the Nightmare Institute. Honestly this entire storyline could be turned into some Resident Evil plot lol.
But that being said, as much as it’s fun to speculate these types of things, I enjoy SSO’s storyline just the way it is. It’s enjoyable for me as an older player, but it’s also filled with great moral stories and motivation for young children, especially girls. I love the atmosphere of female empowerment, and it’s especially unique to SSO because around the time of it’s initial release, that wasn’t seen much in video games.
Might start during these ‘chat’ or ‘random things that come to my mind’ posts more often.

Fantastic Flustercuck: Lore, Interesting points, and a little thinking through
Here we go! This list is really, really big. I’ll do a short analysis/critic later on, but I want to get this out now! We’ll have 4 sessions: 1. Krieg and the Crimson Raiders 2. Krieg and Maya 3. Krieg and Himself  4. Final Notes 
Tumblr media
Session 01: Krieg and the Raiders
Sane Krieg starts by calling Psycho Krieg him; and dividing their mind between two minds, as if there are thoughts only Psycho Krieg has that he can’t access and/or understand 
There’s a constant JACK voiceover that can be heard anywhere. Sadly, I didn’t catch the words, but sounded like the pre recorded messages at the preserve in Bl2
The first section of the DLC, the Castle raid, is considered imporant because it’s the first mission Krieg did along with the Crimson Raiders after a while 
During this section, we fight the raiders
Brick and Modercai come first. They talk about how Krieg is too crazy to be a part of the Raiders. Sane Krieg does not want to fight them. Psycho Krieg fights - but it’s fear
Tannis quickly accesses it as fear of rejection. Krieg always had an issue with how the Raiders see him 
Despite this Sane Krieg does know they’re friends, his family 
Also sane Krieg uses the word oaf and that’s like... really funny 
In this, Tannis says she relates to fear of rejection, but quickly corrects saying she doesn’t care 
There’s the implication that Krieg’s eye was clawed out by a skag 
The “Evil Lilith” inside his head calls him an animal, a beast, a weapon just to be used. Says they never cared if he lived or died
Sane Krieg quickly corrects this isn’t how she spoke to us
Lilith is tagged as “Scary fire lady” and that’s kind of adorable
Sane Krieg shows Psycho Krieg an old memory about how the Raiders treat him, and it’s the Raiders inviting Krieg to a bar. They don’t mind how he acts and laugh along with him 
But Krieg follows from a distance
The Raiders guard his buzzaxe = strenght and attack
Krieg has a dialogue with himself that goes sorta like: Sane Krieg: (smth about finding out who is he, really) Psycho Krieg: Fragile Things
Sane Krieg also mentions wanting to learn dance, saying he has to exercise to keep his abs, calling it “lean muscle”
Session 02: Krieg and Maya
Oh boy
As soon as they see a memory of Maya, Sane Krieg wants to be careful. He doesn’t want the memory corrupted like the Raiders’. 
Krieg KNOWS she is dead
Sane Krieg says Maya is the only thing he and Psycho Krieg ever agreed on 
despite this, during the DLC they seem to get along better and better, Krieg is really working on themselves
Maya drops her book before proceeding. The player has to go after. Flowers grow on the ground where we walk
Tannis states diferent brain activity readings at this point, saying Krieg can really focus on Maya 
Maya is taken by Locomobius, the monster train, and Sane Krieg says it’s because at the time they met, Psycho Krieg thought the train was taking her
Maya tells him in a goodbye ECHO: “No matter how far appart we are, I’ll always be with you.”
The name of the mission to catch Locomobius and free the memories of Maya is what love remains 
Sane Krieg says the memories are all he has left of Maya
There’s a flashback to when they met, and it shows that Maya invited Krieg to come with her because he showed knowing how to fight 
She does call him Big Guy constantly
Krieg has memories of Athenas, implying he has been there 
Athenas is guarded by eridians, here funcioning as guardians to the memories of Maya 
This is all viewed by Tannis as the protections of a grieving mind
The flashback about when they met also reveals that Krieg expressed he didn’t think he had anything to offer Maya and she understood him 
It it’s not explained, whoever, how she understands him, but it’s very strongly implied that she sees his through thoughts/the translation of psycho speech
Maya guards his gauntlet = his defenses and hope 
Even now, Maya is still a figure of hope for him 
Sane Krieg complains about how Psycho Krieg lost a watch that he cared for
Session 2.5: Maya’s Spirit
Maya’s Last ECHO Maya leaves for Krieg one last ECHO that explains why she’s staying on Athenas for an indefinite time - to teach Eva.  She says she knows she’ll pass her powers to Eva which implies she suspects her death could be soon.  She says she can feel all the sirens that came before her like energy flowing, and says that if she days she’ll be among the stars waiting for him.  There’s the quote, from her: “Even death and time can’t keep us appart from each other.”
The Spirit Maya stays in Krieg’s mind in a shining black and white form. At first, It looks like it might be his perception of her, the way she appears in his mind, but upon further triggering dialogue, there’s a lot of things told from a perspective that make it sound like Krieg didn’t know, and that also Maya is aware of this new form for her.
Quotes say: 
that she never thought she could care about anyone the way she cared about Krieg
says that Krieg’s mind is less messy than she thought it’d be
had noodles in Minus-Prime, and loves it 
she dyes her hair!
Maya says with all the words Siren’s have the power to leave memory on objects, memory that are almost a spirt 
So this could be a fragment of Maya, alive in Krieg’s mind through the last ECHO he ever got from her
Also her spirit also mentions that one day a hotel showed up in Athenas, she slept there, it was a super interesting place, and she woke up lying on grass the morning after. Mancubus’ traveling hotel? 
Session 03: Krieg and Himself 
And Hyperion. 
Krieg was at Hyperion to do a job at a lab
but then was “taken” by them. also not specified if he was taken for doing the wrong job, or he was there not hired by them and was captured 
It is not specified what job, but he does mention he was a mercenary
The scientist responsible for him was Dr Benedict, and the called the subjects rejects of society
Sane Krieg says the lab saw the subjects as just meat. This is easily read as way Psycho Krieg registers meat as something that matters so much
Dr Benedict considered/might have done it: sweing the mouths of subjects shut or extracting their tongues so they couldn’t complain 
Sane Krieg was really soft y’all... He fights a rat while imprisioned and names it Tawanda - unclear what happens to it - but Krieg says they’ll take care of each other
Krieg tells Tawanda “I’m called Krieg”. In a further ECHO, Dr Benedict calls Krieg Subject 24C. So Krieg really isn’t his name, and he can’t remember it 
There’s an audio from Dr Benedict about an non specific subject asking to see his son, which the dr considers crazy, but all the others audios, even if not mentioning Krieg by name, seemed to be about him...
Sane Krieg sits along with Pyscho Krieg in an aparent crumbled cell space watching shadows that he calls The World. It’s Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, here showing Krieg is content with the world presented to him, unable, weak or even afraid to explore. It speaks to a false meaning he found to have the sense of living without having the strenght to do so
the player destroys the allegory, thus freeing Sane Krieg to see the actual world, a further step in regaining his mind as a world to really live in - he truly was trapped in himself
Bloodlust is a type of psychosis studied by Dr Benedict. It’s unclear wheter he created it, or what is behind it, but he uses a gas to infect people
considers making a gas bomb to infect whole populations
there’s a line from the Dr about how brain probing worsed pyschosis
the gas didn’t affect Krieg like the others - it is also unclear why 
a mission with a Fear Mom, completely referencing the Clockwork Orange, tells Krieg to drink Milk to grow strong so “no one will hurt you ever again.” This could be read as remnants of his past self, creating a place to feel cared for someway, but also embracing the ultraviolence of his being and the brainwashing he went through
this side mission rewards a gun with the flavor text our eyes are yet to open like a baby, or like someone who lacks clarity 
Krieg cared a lot about people before going insane. He holds strongly to a sense of right and wrong he calls goodness, and values innocence a lot
The Psycho personality is a schism that showed up in several test subjects that manifested the same personality
Dr Benedict wanted to change the subject pool to see the relation and considers an elementary school class
Also considers putting the gas in water supply to infect people since the gas won’t work on open areas
Psycho Krieg saves Sane Krieg when he had given up on scaping 
It is a bloodbath Psycho Krieg calls Tea Party
Sane Krieg sees this realization, about being saved and the Vault Hunter being inside his head, as Psycho Krieg letting people in
Hyperion kept his mask from him = “false face is protection”
Tumblr media
Upon defeating the boss, the Gigantic Krieg tied to an experimentation bed fades.
Tumblr media
After taking the mask, this Three Figures walk into a portal in his mind and disappear forever. Sane Krieg doesn’t remember who they are and remarks that he forgot his past entirely.  But looks at Psycho Krieg and decides on Forging a future.
They tell jokes to each other constantly, though Psycho Krieg only tells a decent joke by the end of the DLC. The joke is the one coherent sentence he can make; showing a lot of progress in how he communicates, but not changing who he is.  By the end, his mind is empty, and both Kriegs work together to fill it slowy with new memories and thoughts. They start with Maya, and keep creating until she says “Enough for now. Come in and tell me about your day”, to which Krieg responds FUSING INTO HIMSELF, WHOLE, and walking into the house with her. The voiceover from Krieg tells us we’re always breaking and hurting, but we put ourselves together again, never perfect, but close enough. Always fixing ourselves. 
Final Notes:
This DLC was really good, imo. I really liked the direction it took and I’m glad it wasn’t TOO wacky, loosing all the meaning and more seriousness it could have. It is a great character exploration, respects Krieg as a character and the one around him and their relationships.  Krieg comes out as not needing fixing, and instead making peace with all he is and growing.  Canon things confirmed:  Worked as a mercenary, was a Crimson Raider, was one invited by Maya, was loved back, was experimented on by Hyperion, was saved by himself.

I’m creating an esper girl AU because of course I am, and it focuses on the girls teaming up to save pretty much all the other espers of Seasoning City, who have been kidnapped by a mysterious organization. Anyway here’s a rundown of everyone’s powers I have so far:
Mezato: brainwashing, but like, mostly subtle. She basically has a form of telepathy/empathy that focuses on projecting her emotions/thoughts/wants/needs onto others, and uses that to influence people’s minds. She usually does this over a longer period of time, because that’s harder to detect or resist, but can brute force her way into your brain if need be. 
Tome: spacey powers; gravity control, wormhole creation, light manipulation (or rather, darkness manipulation; mostly the ability to take light away from places and make it dark, though other abilities sneak in too). Also has some very basic psychokinesis. 
Emi: written curses/talismans. She can curse anything she writes on, as well as make portable curses on paper. In addition, she can also protect anything she write on and create written talismans for people to carry. Also has the ability to see curses.
Tsubomi: necromancy and control over living beings. More specifically, she can control physical aspects of both dead and living things, such as bones, blood, tissue, etc. Can also create decay, and has chlorokinesis.
Rei: extrasensory perception/clairvoyance. Yes I know she’s a canon esper I just wanted to make clear she’s involved in my AU.
More details about their powers and a little bit about the role I’m planning on giving them in my AU under the cut.
Mezato:
Her powers manifested when she was too young to remember, and she’s used them on an almost daily basis since. This made her spoiled rotten and used to getting her way, creating an ego similar to that of Teru or even Touichirou. However, after the Divine Tree Incident, she got some character development and realized that always getting what she wants through mind control has left her hollow, which, combined with the newfound knowledge of just how scary it can be to be on the receiving end of mind control, has knocked her down a few pegs and made her use her powers less. 
Is mostly a support member, searching out information by brainwashing people into giving it for her and/or using her brainwashing to get access to places she shouldn’t have. 
Has the best control of her powers out of everyone in the group, and functions as something of a mentor for the rest because of that, despite her distinct un-mentor-like personality and the fact that her powers aren’t really comparable to most of the group’s.
Her power level is rather high, somewhere around Teru’s and/or Takenaka’s level, but she’s not and will never be as overpowered as Mob.
Has a very faint, sickly yellow aura. Can brainwash you into overlooking it, forgetting you ever saw it, etc. 
Avoided the organization’s detection because her power is very subtle and hard to recognize, and even telepaths and empaths generally don’t pick up on her aura because she has a unique mix of the two abilities.
Tome:
Her gravity control functions basically the same as the leader of the Seventh Division’s, but much less powerful (and she can’t create orbs at the start of the story).
Her wormhole creation is basically just cool space themed teleportation, with the added bonus of making it easy for to teleport large groups (but she develops it relatively late into the story).
Light manipulation mainly focuses on being able to take light away from a place, so it looks more like she’s controlling darkness than light. However, later during the story, she develops invisibility (and maybe even the ability to manipulate colour? idk I think it’d be cool).
By ‘very basic psychokinesis’, I mean that she can do basic esper things like create barriers/have raw explosions of energy, but can’t do anything more advanced. Doesn’t even have telekinesis. Cannot shape her raw psychic powers like the vectors Teru/that one Seventh division guy uses. At most can blast people somewhere like Serizawa, but it’s much weaker than his. Mostly, her psychic powers lie in her space themed powers.
Her powers manifested when she came under Rusty’s curse, as a desperate reaction to try and keep her alive, but since they only manifested as a slight increase in gravity and some darkness swirling, everyone assumed it was Rusty’s curse and didn’t pay it any mind. Tome later found out that they were her powers, and was planning on telling someone, but then all the espers got kidnapped.
Has really shoddy control of her powers to start with, bc she only just manifested them, but learns and grows quickly.
Has impressive powers but a moderate to moderately high power level, a little weaker than Ritsu to start with and eventually developing to somewhere around his level.
Acts as one of the front line members and is often on the offense, because her powers are very well suited for it, and she’s the only one of the team who can create barriers. Later also helps with stealth missions, after she masters her darkness control/invisibility, and acts as the transportation for the team after she manifests the ability to create wormholes.
Has a very noticeable galaxy aura when she’s using her powers, but it’s faint if she’s not. It gradually becomes more and more noticeable even when she’s ‘in rest’ over the course of the series.
Evaded detection by the organization because her powers had only just manifested, and nobody except her knew they existed.
Emi:
Manifested her powers during the last exam period, after she got way too stressed and her powers pulled a Ritsu and awakened. This happened about a year prior to the start of the story. Found out about her powers after she noticed she had accidentally cursed her teacher with her exam, and suddenly gained the ability to see spirits.
Is bad at detecting esper auras, because her power set is very unique and has little overlap with either psycho/telekinetics or telepaths/empaths.
How powerful her curses/talismans are is almost entirely dependent on how much time she’s had to prepare them; she stores up energy into the curses/talismans, which releases when the curse/talisman is activated. 
She does have an upper limit, of course; the most extreme talisman she could create would be a one-time protection against death, and the most extreme curse she could create would either cause minor decay in a person or collapse a building. She cannot store power for longer than a week.
Has a moderate to moderately high power level. However, her unique power set makes her hard to compare to others. Would, with practice, maybe be about as powerful as or just a little weaker than the curse guy from the Seventh Division, but her power is less suited for battle bc she needs to store energy first.
Has really bad control over her powers bc she’s scared of them; accidentally curses almost anything she writes on, and doesn’t really know what her base powers are. Doesn’t even know she can make talismans at the start of the story. Eventually becomes more confident and gains better control over them.
She didn’t tell Mob or any other esper about her powers because of the aforementioned fear of them. Was, however, working up to asking someone for help after realizing she can’t control them herself; had told Tome in confidence, who was planning on asking Reigen for advice on this (since he may not be an esper, but he knows pretty much all the espers in Seasoning City). 
Avoided detection by the organization partially because she’d told almost nobody of her powers, and partly because her unique power set gave her an aura that’s practically invisible to most other espers.
Has an ink black aura that rises up from her hands like thick smoke/ghibli tears when she’s writing her curses; otherwise doesn’t have an aura at all.
Rarely to never goes out into actual danger situations, because her powers are basically useless for spur of the moment defense. Almost a complete behind the scenes support member, making curses for the team to use and talismans to protect them.
Note to self: prime damsel in distress material. Might get kidnapped at some point.
Made friends with Tome online after finding out they both liked the same game. 
Tsubomi:
Her powers give her the ability to, among other things: have rudimentary brute force control over animal’s bodies (sort of similar to blood bending but harder to maintain; this drains a lot of energy and is generally impractical), deform tissue/blood/bones in animals (hard to control, but easy to manifest), control over plant bodies (the easiest for her), control corpses (very easy), cause decay in things (pretty easy in organic matter, a lot harder in inorganic matter), and heal living thigns (very difficult, requires fine tuned control).
Manifested her power about one to two years after she stopped being friends with Mob, but rarely if ever uses it because it really freaked her parents out and they encouraged her to keep it secret, and because her powers are by and large useless in day to day situations.
She’s not particularly bothered by the nature of her powers herself, but does recognize that it’s very morbid to others, and can be pretty self-conscious about that.
Her control over her powers is decent, but not great. She has a fairly good grasp on what her base abilities are and doesn’t have wild explosions of power, but is bad at knowing where her limits lie and unpracticed in a lot of areas of her power. 
She’s extremely powerful, about at Touichirou’s level, and if she was more practiced, she might even be able to hold her own against Mob. 
Is the tank of the team; because of her raw power, she often brute forces her way through obstacles. The biggest issue with her is that her control isn’t fine tuned enough to ensure that she won’t seriously injure or kill people if she goes against them, which, in the beginning, makes it difficult to send her out into the field. However, once she gets the hang of that, she’s easily the most powerful.
Evaded detection by the organization because she never told anyone she was an esper, and because she moved out of Seasoning City about a year prior to the start of the story.
Emi was a friend in school and she maintained contact with her after she moved.
Gets dragged into the story after Tome, Emi, and Rei evacuate Seasoning City and come to her. 
Rei:
Only canon esper in the gang, and mostly maintains her canon powers. However, due to frequent practice over the course of about four years, her extrasensory perception/clairvoyance now has about an 80% accuracy rate, and she can even sometimes sense nebulous things from the future, such as ‘danger’ or ‘happiness’. 
She actually was detected by the organization, but she felt a sense of danger before they came to kidnap her and booked it. When she realized that almost all of her friends weren’t answering their phone, she figured out that espers were probably being targeted by someone, and went to Tome for help, who seemed like the safest option at the time. Tome realizes she might be watched bc of her work at Spirits and Such, and brings them both to Emi, after which they decide it would be saver to go out of town entirely and go to stay with Tsubomi.
She went to Tome for help because she was one of the two (supposed) non-espers involved in esper shenanigans she knew. The other was the Awakening Lab guy, but after being kidnapped by Claw, she realizes that he would almost certainly be watched, and opted for Tome instead. 
While they aren’t close, acquaintances more than friends, she knows Tome from Spirits and Such. 
Functions as a support member, primarily; while she does go out into the field if necessary (usually paired up with Mezato, because she could point to people who probably has information/are important and Mezato could take care of them), she also often stays at home base, sifting through documents and internet rumors to find the ones that she can sense would be the most useful. 
As in canon, her power level is very low, but she is definitely one of the most practiced members of the group and has good advice on how to train your powers. Along with Mezato, functions as something of a mentor as a result, and is very nervous about it.

The 100 6x08: The Old Man and the Anomaly Personal Narration
Are you guys excited?! We already have 6x09′s episode description, which makes me think we are not getting Clarke back again this episode (but who knows?!), but I’m very hyped to see the first steps they are going to be taking to getting her back. I’m also wondering--due to one of the clips that’s been released--if Russell is going to fully come to their side tonight and help get Clarke back. So without further ado: here are my thoughts/narrations from tonight’s episode:
Is Eliza the only one who introduces the episodes now? Not complaining...just curious...haha
Love the motorcycles. Remember when we saw Clarke riding one in the season trailer? That better actually be Clarke, not Jo!Clarke.
Love Octavia and Diyoza married couple! 
That noise is already killing me.
How is Diyoza’s eye makeup still intact? Are we supposed to believe that’s a natural thing for her? Not likely. haha
Ahh....picture of original Josephine
You think Diyoza is going to give her weapons up? Hah!
Wellllllll.....I guess she will to save Octavia’s life? She’s probably hiding something near her baby bump
Haha you tell him Diyoza! Kill him with your hands!
Oh no! Crazy Octavia!
Ahhhh loving Diyoza. 
Two serpents. One garden. LOVE the quotes that are being brought back!
Oh....is this when her delusion of her fighting herself is going to happen?
He is Gabriel?!?! I KNEW IT!!!!
Give me Bellamy or give me DEATH! 
Oh....Raven! Missed you!!!
Ichy! This Prime stuff is so gross! I don’t care if they are willing. It’s brainwash!
I don’t want Kane in Gavin’s body! That’s gross!
Abby....bet you’d change your mind once you realize what they have done to Clarke! 
Raven still loves Abby. She’s mad, but she still loves her! :)
Yes, you should be ashamed Abby!
Bye bye, Gavin.
You tell her, Raven! I’m still sorta mad at you, but I love your one-liners!
Ich! Jo!Clarke. I hate you. You’re a great villain, though. Just get outta Clarke!
No, Clarke’s body is NOT YOUR’S!
Yes, erase this sin Russell! ERASE IT!
What she’s done?! What about what you’ve done?!?!
Yes, very wise Russell! 
But Josephine is about to do something sneaky to keep that body!
Oh....They believe Bellamy! And they’ve told Madi?!!? Wow! BOLD!
Ahhh Jordan loves Delilah! 
Haha killer Madi! 
Yes, very concerning! Be concerned!
Ohh Madi and Jordan are having their first sibling fight!
Oh Madi and Echo communicating! But calling her a spy? Ouch!
Yeah, Bellamy keep your family together!
Aww Emori and Murphy!
Yes, Emori. Are you mad? Turned on? I seriously can’t tell?
Ahhhh. He is so sweet! Proposing! But.....still haven’t gotten to the mind drives.
OPE there they are! The mind drives!
Ohhhh.....she is definitely sorta turned on.
But....you were just mad about Clarke’s death? Now is she not worried about killing future people?
Oh Jo!Clarke just revealed the truth to Murphy!
Ichy...are you really with them Emori?
I really want to slap JO!Clarke. Don’t make me want to slap poor Clarke because of what Josephine does to her face! I hate it! I’m so conflicted!
COMMERCIAL BREAK #1 Thoughts: WOW. That was a lot for the first fifteen minutes. I’m shook. I need more Bellamy and crew moments. Do we believe Emori is going to the dark side just because she loves John? She’s never before, but....And do we believe Murphy is going to go through with this now that he knows the truth just so that he can “live forever?” Probably. Honestly, I’m so sick of his back and forth. I get he saw something scary, but that seriously could have been just a fucking hallucination or something. Boy needs to chill and love his family a little better.
Oh.....hallucinations are happening. He’s seeing old Josephine! 
Love Diyoza. Would die for her probs.
Oh....Diyoza hears children laughter. Creepy.
Are we still shipping him with Octavia now that we know the truth? 
Oh...she sees tied up Bellamy. Good. Me likes.
Oh. Back to the hair twirling.
Manipulation is Josephine’s foreplay. What a psycho!
Headaches are coming. Brain is deteriorating.
Emori.....very evil. Please me bluffing!
God I hate Josephine!
Emori is lying.....
Why is she looking at Echo? Does she know
Oh....Emori’s guilt got to her! GOOD!
Echo is looking very hot this episode....just saying....haha
Oh.....MADI is gone....
And there goes Madi’s killing spree. Am I proud? Well, I’m no un-proud. Hahaha
COMMERCIAL BREAK #2 Thoughts: Does everyone get this movie trailer Taco Bell commercial? I kinda love it! Makes me wish I could still eat fast food. HAHA. Anyways....so Madi is killing. Echo is looking smoking hot. Emori’s guilt got to her really quickly which I LOVE! Super proud of our girl for not letting her love for Murphy blind her! They need to move super quick to save Clarke now. But still not sure it’s going to happen this episode. Have you guys read next week’s episode description? Do you think the person Bellamy pairs off with is Russell? I also think that is when Octavia is going to have to face her “demons”/Bloodreina. Looking forward to that for sure! Definitely think it will lead to her redemption arc! What do you guys think?
Awww....crying Raven. Hate that! 
Abby come to apologize?
Agreed Raven. Agreed.
Ohhh....spacewalker Raven?
No Kane would not want this! 
Then why do it Abby? Are you really that selfish!?
You are so doing this for you! 
Oh....is Raven going to let Abby do it or....?
Be a god.....wow. Murphy is so easy to manipulate for a cockroach.
Josephine is so good at blackmail and manipulation.
And now they know Emori is against them. 
What are you doing Emori?
Oh is this the Clarke motorcycle thing from the trailer? DAMN IT!!!
Are....they going to kill Emori?
Oh...it was a trap!
Oh.....they are using Jackson! 
Do they actually have this all planned?
Oh....John or Clarke.....? What?!?!
COMMERCIAL BREAK #3 Thoughts: So....FUCK! They had this all planned but John just had to stand too close to the psycho! What are they going to do? We know Eliza is in the next episode....so....no death. And we are pretty convinced Clarke isn’t going to die....right? Especially with Bellamy pairing off with “an unlikely companion” next episode, right? Who we can all agree is probably Russell? Honestly, I’m usually good at predications, but I don’t know what they are going to do to save both Murphy and Clarke. Maybe, save Murphy now...and somehow do a last minute save of Clarke? I really don’t want Clarke’s body to die! I need Eliza forever!
Ahhhh Jackson and Miller boyfriend teamwork!
And now Madi’s plan is working!
But....Russell knows better. Will this change his opinion on helping?
What’s your plan Echo?
Oh....cut his leg badly!
Ahh....them still calling her Clarke not Josephine!
No....he just wants Clarke!
Oh....is his unlikely companion.....Josephine? Well...there goes my predictions!
Awww Echo telling him to save Clarke! 
Aww Emori and John’s love is forever! But...are we losing Murphy now?!!? I was not willing to make that sacrifice!
And Madi stopped by Jordan!
NO JORDAN!
COMMERCIAL BREAK #4 Thoughts: SO.......now we are thinking that the unlikely companion to Bellamy is Jo!Clarke next episode! Which honestly makes me WAY HAPPIER than the Russell theory! This means he is likely going to be there when Clarke comes back and they are going to have scenes! Also, with Gabriel being with Diyoza and Octavia we may get a Blake family reunion! AND>>>>Echo telling him to go save Clarke? Do we think she can sorta see that they are in love? Or that Bellamy needs Clarke at the very least.  Or....is she super blinded by her love for Bellamy to see? By the by, LOVE Echo this season! Cannot wait to learn more about her when her younger self comes in as a flashback and/or hallucination! I just love her so much! She is so loyal to her space family! Bellamy loves Clarke, so she loves Clarke. I’m SO good with this! Makes me warm and happy inside. 
So.....Raven is going to do this for Abby?!?! I called it!
Ahh....she does still love Abby. Though whether Abby deserves it is another thing.
Awww Gabriel still loves Josephine. Sweet....is that going to help our heroes defeat her in the end?
Ah..Hope is calling to Diyoza. Ahhh what a cutie!
So....is that shiny thing the anomaly?
Octavia save Diyoza from the hallucination!
Is it evil? Or is it like a heaven sorta place?
And Octavia is back.....and she looks....healed?
Well then. So anomaly....good?
COMMERCIAL BREAK #5 Thoughts: So....anomaly is sorta heaven place that heals? Will Octavia tell us what she saw after commercial? Maybe no one came back because it was such a nice place. I mean....Octavia looked brand spanking new when she fell out of that thing. It can’t be super bad, right? Or maybe it is just good enough to trick people into staying? Like the longer they stay the more the anomaly can steal their life force? I want Ruby Rose in a bad way......
Oh....trial? Really, Russell? You “killed” their leader!
And now they all know what Russell and Simone did! 
And that Clarke is alive! 
Wasn’t their TURN?!?!
Yes, finally be loyal to your fucking people Murphy! Don’t talk! We already know Emori is a badass!
Oh....Russell is mad....is this going to turn him evil/bad?
So....are we saying Kane’s body is dead? Damn....I really like that actor!
And.....Kane is now old enough to be Abby’s son.....gross. 
Is he going to realize soon that he;s.......oh. there it is.
Seeing your dead body? Yes, that’s going to traumatize the hell out of him!
So defintely seeing Octavia face her demons. And obviously Bellamy was talking to Josephine, but maybe Clarke at a deeper level?

Wonder Woman: Earth One, Vol 2 - Part 1
I’m going to break this into a few parts, because it turned out I had a bit to say. I’ll start with my overall impressions, then dive into the spoilery recap.
General thoughts: Next verse, same as the first.
Grant Morrison purports to want to explore Marston’s ideas, but he’s more interested in the kooky, kinky trappings than the sentiment behind them.
Marston was radical and progressive in his time. Writing in the 1940s, he told his readers that women were men’s equals — and even superiors! — in every way. He told young girls there was no limit to what they could do. His stories promoted love over hatred, peace over violence, rehabilitation over retribution.
If Morrison had taken that bold sentiment and reimagined it through a lens of modern society and feminism in 2018, he might have had a compelling story to tell. Instead, he takes Marston’s ideas as he understands them and transplants them wholesale into a time in which they’re no longer radical and progressive, but rather backward and out-of-step with modern intersectional feminism, and then proceeds to ask such deep, incisive questions as “yes but realistically could we actually replace all world governments with a matriarchy?????”
He never truly deconstructs any of Marston’s ideas, just parrots phrases like “submission to loving authority” a lot and raises questions without ever making a decent attempt at answering them. To be fair, part of the problem is that he’s simply trying to do too much at once: juggling parallel stories in Themyscira and Man’s World, an interrogation of the Amazons’ philosophies and the introduction of three new antagonists and the tensions they cause, all within a limited page count, Morrison is unable to devote the necessary time to properly developing any of them. It’s no wonder the result is so half-baked.
But hey, just throw in a bunch of vagina planes and a dusting of kink and watch as everyone crows over how subversive he is.
Yannick Paquette’s artwork is still beautiful. His page layouts are still dynamic and expressive, and his character designs are still lovely. Diana in particular gets a variety of very cool outfits, including a beautiful modest costume for a trip to the Middle East.
But he still can’t shake his tendency towards drawing women’s bodies in weirdly-contorted poses with bizarre pornfaces. Wonder Woman shouldn’t look like she’s orgasming as she’s leaping into battle, ffs.
Oh, and the series is still being edited by noted serial sexual harasser Eddie Berganza. HASHTAG FEMINISM!
Let’s get into the recap.
Content warning for some skeevy mind control content and general discussion of the gender essentialist, body-shaming, TERFy attitudes of Morrison’s Amazons.
The story opens with a flashback to 1942, with Paula von Gunther leading a Nazi invasion of Themyscira, and god I’m already so tired.
idk, I mean, I get that Nazis were a major Golden Age antagonist, and Morrison is harking back to that. But there’s a broader historical and cultural context to consider. Cartoonish Nazi villains in patriotic WWII-era American comics carried very different associations than they do in 2018, in the midst of a presidency steeped in white supremacy and hate speech, on the eve of a midterm election in which a record number of neo-Nazis are standing for office, at a time when hate groups are surging, when migrant children are being separated from their families and held in detention camps— just. Not a time when I want to be reading about cartoonish super-Nazis, personally.
And I don’t really see why they necessarily need to be this story? The battle serves to illustrate how Amazons combat and… “rehabilitate”… their adversaries. Paula ultimately serves as a plot device. Couldn’t that maybe have been achieved without Nazis?
Anyway, Paula announces that she is claiming the island for the Third Reich, and Hippolyta is like “lol no”.
Tumblr media
Okay, that part I like. Evil army storms the island, backed by guns and warships, surround a half-dozen barely-armed women… who all but roll their eyes. ‘Pfft, children. Fine, if you want to play this game…’ And the evil army can only gape in bewilderment as the women proceed to take them apart in minutes.
But this is where it gets weird.
The Amazons fire a purple ray at all of the Nazis, which… makes them all drop their weapons and start screaming “YES!” orgasmically?
Tumblr media
Hippolyta tells Paula that the soldiers “will be taken to the Space Transformer. They will be transported to Aphrodite’s world where Queen Desira and her butterfly-winged Venus Girls wait to purge them of their need for conflict. They will be taught to submit to loving authority. They will learn to embrace peace and obedience. They will be as happy as men can be.”
Tumblr media
Paula attacks Hippolyta, rips off her magic girdle and heaves a great boulder over her head— wait, were we supposed to know that Paula had superpowers? That seems like something that should have been flagged.
She effortlessly takes down the Amazons who rush to the queen’s defence and takes a moment to cackle villainously. “Behold the pride of Germany! The ultimate daughter of the thousand-year-empire of Adolf Hitler!” To which Hippolyta— okay, I like this part, too.
Tumblr media
Hippolyta calmly gets to her feet and puts Paula in a stranglehold. “We are the Amazons of myth, my dear! I am Queen Hippolyta eternal.” She swiftly and efficiently brings Paula to her knees.
But, welp, never mind, it’s about to get fucking creepy again.
Hippolyta forces Paula into “the Venus Girdle”, a device that “charges every body cell with vitalising currents and harmonises the brain, encouraging obedience.”
Tumblr media
Paula: Let me go! What is that? What are you doing? Hippolyta: The Venus Girdle? It charges every body cell with vitalising currents and harmonises the brain, encouraging obedience. A dainty thing, is it not? Paula: I won’t— I won’t— You can’t control me— you can’t— can’t make me— make me... oh… make me…
Tumblr media
Paula: nmmuhhh… What’s happening? My Nazi ideals— slipping away— they— they don’t make any sense now… I— I thought— I thought— I was strong. What’s wrong with me? I’m so weak— I must be weak to wish to serve weak, cruel men— like— like Herr Hitler— I— I— Hippolyta: If you truly long to be a slave to the ideas of others, well… we can find a loving mistress to help you explore your desires in a healthier context. Paula: Yes. Yes! My queen— [sob] —how can you ever forgive me? How wise of you to know— to know this is all I ever wanted! Hippolyta: Devote yourself to me by following the Amazon Code. Go with out sweet Mala to Improvement Island. There you will come to know yourself until the Venus Girdle is no longer required.
Tumblr media
Paula: But all I want is to serve you, my queen! I love you! Please don’t turn your back on me!
Basically, Hippolyta forcibly uses a mind-altering device on Paula that alters her brain chemistry to make her placid, compliant and suggestible, then immediately washes her hands of her.
Tumblr media
So… let’s talk about this, because I think it strikes at the heart of the problems with Wonder Woman: Earth One.
Queen Desira, the Venus Girls, magnetic golden Venus Girdles that “harmonise the brain” — all these things are drawn from Golden Age Wondy comics cowritten by Marston and his collaborator Joye Kelly. Marston played with mind control a lot in his stories, and not all of it came from the bad guys.
Morrison’s bold, subversive approach to these story elements is to export them wholesale into the present day and force us to feel uncomfortable about them.
In other words, he’s taking some of the weirder and more fucked up story elements from a collection of comics that are widely agreed to be very weird, and then plonking it before your readers and asking, ‘hey guys, have you ever considered… that this might be weird and fucked up???’
There’s nothing clever or insightful about that. And there’s certainly nothing groundbreaking about a cis white male writer imagining a fictitious feminist dystopia where women strip away men’s free will.
Like, if you really want to be subversive with Marston’s Wonder Woman, how about you start by hiring a woman to write it? Why not see what this iconic feminist hero conceived by a cis white man in the 1940s and written almost exclusively by cis white men for over 75 years might look like if she were reimagined and reinterpreted by LGBTI women, by women of colour? By the women left out of those original comics?
That would be subversive. Morrison is just being a smartarse.
So yeah, Hippolyta turns her back on the helpless, brainwashed, lovesick Paula and walks over to Diana, who’s defied her mother’s orders and run down from the palace to get a glimpse of the action. She’s full of questions; Hippolyta brushes them off with the usual (for Morrison’s Amazons) ‘men are shit’ line.
There’s a moment where Paula and Diana meet eyes from across the beach, and each asks, “who is she?” Diana is simply curious; Paula is instantly lovestruck.
Tumblr media
Paula: That girl… the image of my queen.
This looks like foreshadowing, but spoilers: it goes absolutely nowhere.
Sidenote: If the Amazons deal with invaders by brainwashing them, why did they want to kill Steve Trevor in Volume One?
Cut to present-day America, where a room of faceless men discuss the threat posed by the Amazons and their superior technology, which they assume extends to deadly weaponry. The only in they have with the Amazons is Wonder Woman, and to get through her defences they’ve called in “an expert in female psychology”, aka a misogynistic monster.
Tumblr media
Doctor Psycho: Gentlemen. She may be strong and tough and smart and beautiful… but she’s just a woman. I never met one I couldn’t break.
Oh, goody.
Cut to a cute splash page of Diana playing baseball. She gets a lot of great outfits in this book.
Tumblr media
She’s also clearly making an impact in Man’s World; her face is plastered across every magazine, and people flock to hear her speak.
A Q&A sessions serves as a thinly-veiled opportunity for Morrison to answer some of the criticisms of the first book. His response leaves something to be desired.
“Amazon training can make any of you into a Wonder Woman,” says Diana. We teach a system of physical and psychological health and vitality. The grace and beauty of Aphrodite, the skill and wisdom of Athena.”
Tumblr media
Woman: What about Wonder trans women? Is there room for people like me in your utopia? Diana: There’s room for everyone. The Amazon Code was evolved by women over thousands of years and outlines a progressive, pacifist way of living and thinking that anyone can follow.
I’m sorry, but that’s a fucking bullshit answer. It’s a weak, superficial gesture towards inclusiveness that conspicuously fails to express any real support or solidarity.
And depressingly, this is 100% in-character for Earth One Diana, because Morrison’s Amazons? are absolutely TERFs. As with the mind control content, Morrison has exported Marston’s 1940s binaristic gender essentialism unchanged into the 21st century in order to ask searing questions like ‘hey but what if??? the idea that women are genetically more suited to ruling??? is simplistic and flawed?????’ But the most he’ll engage with the genuinely insidious implications around the exclusion of trans and nonbinary people is a smiling noncommittal, ‘Are trans people welcome? My friend, everyone is welcome! No further questions!’
Morrison’s Wonder Woman displays a profound disregard of context. He ignores not only the cultural, historical and individual contexts that shaped the original 1940s Wonder Woman, but also the contexts of the time in which he’s currently writing and the cultural space that Wondy has come to inhabit today as a feminist and LGBT icon.
Removed from context, Morrison is simply taking a hero who traditionally hails from an advanced utopian society, taking another look at the views that society actually espouses, and reframing her as a well-meaning but naive hero from an advanced but deeply flawed and unsettling society.
In context, he’s doing exactly what Brian Azzarello did in turning the Amazons into murderous man-hating monsters, just with more kink and vagina planes.
Tumblr media
Woman 2: Umm, there’s a lot of stuff on social media about how you dress provocatively and promote an unrealistic body type, which is basically setting a bad example for women. I mean, the stuff you do is amazing and all, it’s just… does any of the criticism bother you? Diana: I don’t think there’s any such thing as an ‘unrealistic’ body shape. My own body is the result of diet, exercise and… um… sophisticated genetic engineering. Otherwise, I dress as I please.
Volume One made it clear that all Amazons have the physique of supermodels, and when they encounter the diverse body types of the women in our world, they are disgusted and respond with body-shaming insults. Here, Diana again avoids voicing any actual support (she doesn’t say that all women’s bodies are beautiful and valid, she suggests that her body type is not unrealistic), while also throwing out eugenics as a reason for the lack of body diversity among the Amazons. Oh good, I was hoping we’d get more Nazi parallels!
Finally, a militant white feminist stands up and observes that if the Amazons are capable of half of what Diana says they are, then they could dismantle the patriarchy overnight — so why is Diana wasting time giving philosophy lectures? “You can control people’s minds with that lasso of yours. Like you did with that dude on TV— so why can’t you put a lasso ‘round the whole world?”
Afterwards, talking to Beth Candy, Diana’s like, ‘gosh, Beth, I’ve never seriously thought about world domination before, but maybe it is time to consider stripping all mortals of their free will, dismantling all nations and compelling everybody on the planet to bow down before Amazonia.’
Tumblr media
Then Diana gets on her mental radio and calls her mother, confessing her doubts about her mission.
It was around this point in the book that the Amazons’ dialogue began to grate on me. I couldn’t put my finger on what it was at first. Every line read like a ceremonious pronouncement. They used antiquated syntax and words, like “whole systems … must o’erturned be” and “she did, without due caution, this, her island home, depart!”. Even Diana would become infected with it whenever she was speaking to them. It felt like they weren’t so much conversing as they were reciting… 
...verse… 
oh my god, that motherfucker.
Surely he hadn’t.
I scanned the dialogue again. I double-checked it.
He had.
Grant Morrison, that obscenely pretentious wanker, wrote all of the Amazons’ dialogue in dactylic hexameter.
For fuck’s sake.
Tumblr media
After finishing her call with Diana, Hippolyta learns that somebody has vandalised one of the temples with the symbol of “a backward-turning sun”, i.e. a swastika. Unseen by everybody, Paula breaks into Hippolyta’s palace.

It Runs in the Family by fireflysummers_ao3
Asagiri Minori/Kageyama “Mob” Shigeo, Hanazawa Teruki/Kageyama “Mob” Shigeo
“Teru agrees to attend a party celebrating his uncle’s full recovery after a horrific “car accident,” but he’s not excited about reconnecting with his cousin, Minori, who he recalls is as bad, and likely worse, as he used to be.However, he is not expecting to find her trying to turn over a new leaf in the wake of a traumatic spiritual possession, and in dire need of a confidant. Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, they have more in common than Teru would like to admit…especially when he realizes that Minori is trying to track down her mysterious rescuer.”
Mob is 100% developing a fanclub.
but I digress, my dear by exogenesis
Mezato Ichi/Emi (Mob Psycho 100)
“When Mezato found out that the last copy of the textbook she needed was checked out of the library already, she became a girl with a mission; that mission was to track down the person who had the gall to take two entire weeks to return a library book.”
Super cute, I love this?

space voyage by azatoi
Kurata Tome/Mezato Ichi
“Tome Kurata is slightly famous—or notorious, more like—for being… a weirdo, to put it simply. She’s definitely a person of interest. Just not exactly in a newsworthy way, which is obviously the only way that matters.”
I love this too much. This author is fantastic and so are the fic and the pairing.

I love this author as well, and recommend their works generally.
A Kick In The Teeth Is Good For Some by whaleshork
Hanazawa Teruki/Kageyama Ritsu
Warning: Read the tags to avoid triggers. There’s also mention of semi-canonical character death.
“All Ritsu wants is to move on and be happy with his life. But something keeps growing inside him. From his stomach to his chest to his throat and out his eyes and mouth, until it fully surrounds him making it impossible to ignore. He can cut it down, but it will just grow back. He needs to destroy it, to pull it up from the roots. And he thinks he finally knows how. But there’s only one person who can help with that. Unfortunately, that person is Teruki Hanazawa.”
This will soon be part of a series for other rarepairs (ShouMob and eMInori). I look forward to that quite a bit, as I enjoy this author’s works.

It has a happy continuation, which you should check out. As well as anything that doesn’t make you uncomfortable by this person.
Maybe by power (teii)
not exactly platonic or romantic Sakurai/Koyama
““Are you planning on getting a place of your own anytime soon?” Sakurai asks as he walks through the door, frowning at all the beer cans and dried fish snack bags strewn around the floor.
Koyama huffs, not even bothering to turn around to face him as he continues flipping through the channels, though he does manage to raise his left hand to send a lazy bird Sakurai’s way.
Apparently not.”
I love Claw settling back into society and I love the author’s take on the characters.

#45: Season 2, Episode 13 - “A Very Scary Story”
Annnnd, we’re back! Let the countdown resume. I know y’all remember this one. How could you not?! It’s THE ICONIC HALLOWEEN EPISODE!!! Lawrence Jr. High is holding free eye examinations on Halloween. But, instead of being legit eye exams, students are getting their eyes BURNED OUT OF THEIR SOCKETS?!
Tumblr media
It opens with Ren seemingly home alone the night before Halloween watching some knock off of “Psycho.” I like this bit. She yells at the TV, “Honey, you’re getting chased by 6 mutants and you’re just deciding to take a shower?!” — Seriously, though. People in horror films make the dumbest decisions. I think the fake movie footage is hilarious.
Tumblr media
Just then, the phone rings. Naturally. And now we get a knock off of “Scream” lol. Whoever’s calling distorts their voice and says “Do you like penguins, Ren? MAHAHAH!” and hangs up. I wonder who that could be. (Sarcasm) Ren is walking around holding a skillet as a weapon which is kinda funny. She looks so uncoordinated with it. Turns out it was just Louis calling from inside the house. Shocking. He comes jumping out at her making what’s supposed to be a “penguin” noise, I guess. I really don’t know. He kinda sounds like Doodlebob, honestly. Obviously, Ren screams and Louis has the audacity to ask “Ren, why are you so jumpy?!?!" I love this line and the way Shia says it. I use it a lot, lol. He claims he just wanted to show her his penguin jockey costume. The costume itself is a true a stroke of genius. But, I’m sure there was a less serial killer way to go about the reveal, lol. This episode definitely gets iconic points for that costume, though. People have gone as penguin jockeys because of Louis: x / x ...Incredible. 
Tumblr media
Ren is seriously a wet blanket here. She refers to Halloween as “childish dress up games.” What da heck?! Lighten up. You’re like, 14. I embarrassingly went as Hannah Montana for Halloween freshman year of high school, 2007. Bad idea. But just because I have tan skin and wore a blonde wig, everyone thought I was supposed to be Beyoncé. I constantly had to correct people. I WAS HANNAH MONTANA, DANG FLABBIT!!! The struggle. 
Ren tells Louis that his costume isn’t going to scare anyone. I never thought it was intended to be scary in the first place??? Either way, Donnie comes walking in and Louis makes some more Doodlebob noises at him and Donnie runs away screaming “AHHH! PENGUIN!” Wow. I’m only mentioning this because I read a little trivia that Donnie originally walks in holding a basketball, but when they cut back to him he’s suddenly holding what looks like an inflatable toucan or something?! What?! How do you forget that Donnie was holding a basketball one second and then hand him an inflatable toucan the next?! I do not understand. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Wait, what was Donnie the Sports Jock just holding?! It was probably a basketball or something because that makes sense. But, I can’t remember. HERE! Take this INFLATABLE TOUCAN!” ?!?! - Probably the actual thought process that resulted in this ridiculousness. 
At school the next day, we see that LJH takes Halloween VERY SERIOUSLY. Stuff like this gave me unrealistic expectations. If you wore a costume to school growing up, you were a weirdo and people judged you. Not here! They have some intense decorations and the entire school is dressed up! Well, everyone except for Ren — who’s in a freaking pencil skirt and blazer, walking around making sure everyone gets an eye exam.
Tumblr media
This school is more ~lit~ than most actual Halloween parties.
We find out that Louis and the gang are planning a prank for the cafeteria: Putting fake eyeballs in the turkey gravy. Yum. Louis shows them the fake eyeballs he bought and says he just got them in overnight from Chico. It’s a small detail but I like that he mentions Chico. The city is also brought up in an earlier episode. I always laugh when Tom tells Louis “I need to get my eyes examined.” Louis says “YOUR EYES EXAMI— Tom, how many fingers am I holding up?!” And Tom has to squint at the fingers RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS FACE in order to give the correct answer. 
Tumblr media
“.......Two.” // “Exactly. Your eyes are fine.”
Okay, long story short: Basically, anyone who goes in for an eye exam comes out acting like a robot. Students are walking around with sunglasses on and are suddenly obsessed with drinking milk and following the rules. Tom is the first victim of Louis’ crew. He says “I suddenly got quite a hankering for the Moo Juice. It’s an excellent source of calcium for overall skeletal health.” I FEEL LIKE THAT LINE IS ENGRAINED INTO MY MIND FOREVER! Tom bails on the cafe prank and says “If something like this were to go on our permanent records, it would follow us for the rest of our lives.” THIS LINE NEVER LEFT MY BRAIN EITHER. I feel like this episode was actually Disney propaganda or something, brainwashing us into drinking milk and being good students. Not even gonna lie, when I was young this episode made me crave milk... and I hated milk. *X-Files theme song plays in the distance.*
Tawny and Twitty both get their eyes checked and start saying the same robotic nonsense Tom did. Louis is having none of it, though. He yells “TAKE OFF THE STUPID GLASSES!” and we get one of the most terrifying moments of our childhood...
Tumblr media
This is still so disturbing. Show producers Sean McNamara and David Brookwell wrote this episode. I seriously want to track them down and make them explain what gave them the bright idea to traumatize children in this way?!
The classic Louis Scream kicks into full gear here. (see first image of the post) I’m laughing because I just noticed that as he runs away, he whips the butt of the penguin like “giddy up!” as if he’s actually racing on it… Oh my god. As he’s running he shouts “NO ONE’S TAKIN’ MY PEEPERS!” which I always kinda liked, haha.
Louis ends up spying on one of the “eye exams” and the process is revealed! Wexler and Tugnut zap the kids’ eyes and do in fact brainwash them with the milk and permanent record mumbo jumbo. Great. 
Tumblr media
Louis is now the only student who hasn’t had an eye exam. Wexler, Tugnut and the whole school are going after him. He calls home in a panic asking for Steve and Eileen to come pick him up before conveniently hiding out in the Penguin bathroom.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
His family shows up within like, 10 seconds. Teleportation is the only explanation for this. Louis goes to get his stuff before leaving... but OH NO! Wexler and Tugnut greet Donnie, Steve and Eileen and make them go in for eye exams. This always made me soooo angry as a kid. I felt Louis’ sheer horror and helplessness here tbh. Just then, Ren pops out of nowhere and Louis explains the whole situation to her. She acts like she has no idea what he’s talking about, but all of the robot students start chasing them so she helps him find a place to hide.
Tumblr media
“Safe?! For how long, Ren? How long before those eyeless, sunglass-wearing, milk-slurping zombies get in here?!” - ALL I CAN THINK OF IS THE WALKING DEAD. “DON’T OPEN. DEAD INSIDE.” 
Ren leaves Louis alone to see if the coast is clear. WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?! Does she not see the horde of zombie students through the windows?! Regardless, Wexler and Tugnut appear and take Louis down to the school’s newly renovated torture-chic basement. (Louis: “When did the school get a dungeon?” Wexler: “Actually it’s an evil lair.”) 
Ren was the ringleader this whole time. She comes walking out looking like THIS and Wexler and Tugnut refer to her as “mistress.” Okay, this is a little creepy now...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Louis looks at the wall and says “R.E.N.....? That’s gotta stand for something.” - I clearly remember laughing at this line when I was little for some reason omg. 
Ren explains that they’re going to turn everyone into “Renplicates” (actual Ren clones) because the world would be a better place if everyone just followed the rules. Okay, maybe that’s true. But, you don’t need to morph everyone into cloNES OF YOURSELF PHYSICALLY!!! Seriously... whaaaa?! lol. Around here Ren says “Tugnut! Turn on the juice!” which Jim Wise recently admitted was an innuendo line that the crew laughed at off camera. Adult jokes on kids shows sort of creep me out though, ngl. 
Anyway, everyone -- including their parents, step into the Renplicator and transform into Ren. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Everyone except... Louis.
Tumblr media
HONESTLY WHAT THE HELL?!?! I never liked thisssssss.
That’s where the story ends. THANK GOD! Turns out it was just Louis telling Beans a scary story. “Beans, you wanted to know what happened last Halloween. So, I told you!” To which Beans responds: 
Tumblr media
One of the only Beans lines I like. (x)
And that’s it! There’s a bit at the very end where Beans tries to get away with trick-or-treating at the Stevens house several times by wearing a bunch of different costumes. Donnie answers the door every time and says things like “That’s cute, kid!” and “Haven’t I see you here before already?” IT’S CLEARLY FREAKING BEANS! 
Tumblr media
I never understood this. I know Donnie’s dumb but he knows who Beans is. They should’ve just had a random kid do this scene. Using Beans makes NO SENSE. Also, he already raids their kitchen all the time as it is. He doesn’t need to go “undercover” to get candy from the Stevens house, lol. 
That’s the Halloween episode guys! Strangely, not as funny as I remember. Still a classic, though... obviously. I was originally going to rank it in the #30s, solely for the iconic value.. but, when I was deciding on what to put for #45 I just had to put this one here. It’s a “special” episode. So it’s difficult to rank it any higher than this since it’s just a fun one-off, silly, seasonally appropriate episode. Nothing furthers the overall arc of the series here, lol. That’s not the case for all “special” episodes... But, this one sticks out like a sore thumb in comparison to the other 64.  
Did it scar you for life as a kid?! I have to say that this episode and “Don’t Look Under The Bed” (which Larry Beale/Ty Hodges starred in!!!) literally scared the living crap out of me. Apparently DLUTB has actually been banned?! Whoa. To this day, I’m still afraid of some demon boogyman hand grabbing at my ankle...
Tumblr media
Thanks for reading! Chime in below.

Eurus and s4
What if the reason why eurus went back to sherrinford after tld was because she knew the entire facility was under her control. See she'd always wanted Sherlock's attention since childhood, but then she got sent away to sherrinford at an early age too. It must've taken her a while to brain wash everyone there to be her minions, especially considering Mycroft's ban of disallowing anyone to interact with her. So she needed time to convince and brainwash one person and slowly work her way up to brain washing the big chief of that prison. I forgot his name sorry, I know he asked to be remembered but :p anyway, By the time she got to him, she escaped through his office. She no longer has to escape in any stealthy way because big chief helped her escape. Remember the scene in tfp right before John pointed out that eurus was talking to big chief in the recording? John was looking at the balcony of big chief's office and saw that there was a small area of land and I presume she must've climbed down there with a rope or whatever and a have big chief arrange a small boat for her to get on. And that's how she escaped. I feel 1000% certain that big chief was in on it, it explains why when Mycroft called about sherrinford, the reply he got was that sherrinford is secure. Because ofc big chief will say all is well when he's the one who helped her escape. So now eurus is in London and probably observing Sherlock's life from afar and knowing that John seems to be important to Sherlock and that's why she pretended to be a flirt with John. And also to be his therapist. After that she meets with Sherlock as Faith. Using Faiths story and note as an excuse to see him maybe? And to see first hand how clever he is, see if Sherlock could solve culverton's case. This is the first time she really spends time with Sherlock though. And maybe she's harbouring feelings of resentment against him for neglecting her during childhood, but now she's finally able to spend time with him and he's nice. Nicer than anyone. And that's when the psycho part of her kicks in. He's nice. She's lonely, and intrigued. So that's when she decided to go back to reveal herself (to John) and goes back to sherrinford and waits there, knowing that Sherlock would go find her coz he'd be too curious to let it go. So yes, that's me trying to piece together what I can to the extent my little brain can handle. Definitely nowhere near as smart or clever as other metas xD

What You Need To Know About ‘Mind Control’ Before Calling It Fake
We Are Change
Here’s why you shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss mind control as nothing you need to think about…
Image via The Men Who Stare at Goats
Via. (Danny Quest)
This article is going to be hard for some people to accept. Depending on what level of awareness you currently have and how far you have ventured into the rabbit-hole, some of the information presented thus forward may be overwhelming and/or frightening. Some of the claims made may make you skeptical of the truth, depending on your perception of reality.
Before we jump into the realization that covert elements of the United States Central Intelligence Agency and its black budget apparatus have been using military mind control technology to implement false-flag terror attacks on the American people as part of a larger geopolitical agenda, let’s first ask ourselves if these type of  technologies could even exist?
In my research, I found that early work on mind control goes back almost 100 years with the discovery of electroencephalography (known as EEG) by German psychiatrist Hans Berger, who made the first EEG recordings in 1924, and was the first to report on the rise and fall of alpha and beta waves in the human brain.
By 1969, a researcher named Eberhard Fetz had connected a single neuron in a monkey’s brain to a dial the animal could see. The monkey learned to make the neuron fire faster to move the dial in order to get a reward, and while Fetz didn’t realize it at the time, he had created the first brain-machine interface.
30 years ago, physiologists began recording from neurons in animals, and discovered that while the entire motor cortex lights up with electrical signals when an animal moves, a single neuron tends to fire fastest in connection with certain movements. If you record signals from a certain number of neurons, you can get a rough idea of the motion that a person is making or intends to make.
Researchers then developed algorithms to reconstruct movements form motor cortex neurons, and by the 1980s Apostolos Georgopoulos found a relationship between the electrical response of single neurons and the direction in which they moved their arms.  Since the mid-1990s, researchers have been able to capture complex motor cortex signals recorded from groups of neurons, and have used them to control electronic devices, building brain-computer interfaces that enable what would be called “mind controlled technology” today.
There are dozens of American patients on MCT, Lowery, Oliver M. Appl. No. 458339  filed Dec. 28, 1989. U.S. Patent #5,159,703, Oct. 27, 1992 Silent Subliminal Presentation System, this will be a notable example as this article continues. A good deal of  support for the existence in MCT can be traced back to an often cited 1994 government report that made mention of futuristic systems that could “electronically scramble or erase” people’s minds through TV broadcasts.  It was co-written by Dr. Steven Metz—then an associate research professor of National Security Affairs at the U.S. Army War College’s Strategic Studies Institute; where he is now the director (He later claimed that report was a joke).
If you are interested in overcoming disbelief, if you don’t understand the white papers, or don’t trust the information here, I would highly advise everyone to look no further than Dr. Judy Wall’s article “Aerial Mind-Control The Threat to Civil Liberties.” It was published in the newsletter of the MENSA Bioelectromagnetics Special Interest Group. Take a look at the CIA’s declassified Project MK ULTRA program, or read over the 2014 Huff post article entitled “Mind Control Is Becoming Reality“.
“We need a program of psycho-surgery and political control of our society. The purpose is physical control of the mind. Everyone who deviates from the given norm can be surgically mutilated…The individual may think that the most important reality is his own existence, but this is only his personal point of view. This lacks historical perspective…Man does not have the right to develop his own mind. This kind of liberal orientation has great appeal. We must electrically control the brain. Some day armies and generals will be controlled by electrical stimulation of the brain.”  Dr. Jose Delgado (MKULTRA experimenter who demonstrated a radio- controlled bull on CNN in 1985) Director of Neuropsychiatry, Yale University Medical School Congressional Record No. 26, Vol. 118, February 24, 1974
              Monkeys in restraints w/ wires coming out of top of skull.
left image “normal”, right image with electric current being fed into the monkey’s brain – note pupil sizes and clenched teeth!
These images demonstrate Dr. Delgado’s ruthless disregard for animal’s lives, pain, and suffering!
  “these weapons are more dangerous then atomic destruction,” Dr.Delgado reportedly said. “We may transform, we may shape, direct and robotize man. I think the great danger of the future is that we will have robotized human beings who are not aware that they have been robotized.”
“Recently researchers from the University of Washington showed that they could send one person’s thoughts through a computer to control the hand motion of a person sitting half a mile away. The team first demonstrated this brain-to-brain connection was possible back in August 2013. But now the researchers have put the technology through more rigorous testing and are close to making it usable in real-world scenarios.” ~ Live Science November 11, 2014 
At this point, there should be absolutely no denying that there are countless methods of mind-control and multiple projects and sub-projects historically and currently in operation.  Reports from numerous different sources indicate that mind control technology does exist.
One of the most powerful ways to shape the collective consciousness of the people at a basic fundamental level is to control the population’s main sources of information. It is very clear that many mass media outlets in the U.S. are both willingly and unwittingly aiding and abetting the manipulation of our minds by the government, and are assisting in carrying out its social-engineering agendas.
Moreover, very carefully designed programs and tactics have been used against nearly every segment of our society; disseminated throughout the nation and the world by mass media and entertainment industries, corporations; embedded in advertising and all other forms of so-called entertainment such as movies, TV shows, video games, and music.
These systems were perfected, applied to the brainwashing and conditioning of members of the U.S. military, and turned over to the intelligence sectors for other applications. The intelligence sector, in turn, DELIBERATELY and successfully worked to have this same kind of HIGHLY destructive and effective conditioning applied to SOCIETY AS A WHOLE, via the mass conditioning of our consciousness through the entertainment and information industries.
Our society as a whole has been forced to confront and WITNESS young people perpetrating inconceivably horrific mass murders of peers and others on a REGULAR BASIS, as in the case in the present-day United States. This creates what is called in geo-social control rhetoric as a “strategy of tension.”
As a result, the population has developed an analogous psychological temperament akin to collective Stockholm’s syndrome. First published in 1994, author Dee Graham uses the Stockholm syndrome label to describe group or collective responses to trauma. To some extent it develops a dissonant split personality/multiple personality disorder in people making them susceptible to sheepish behavior, apathy, fear and other trance-induced emotions.
In essence, the CIA is using advanced mind-control techniques on the American people to make them easier to control. Some of the countries involved in such programs include the U.S., UK, Spain, Germany and France.
Most government-backed electronic mind control programs are classified at the highest level, but recently, the National Security Agency reportedly developed an efficient method of controlling the human brain. This technology is called Remote Neural Monitoring (RNM) and is expected to revolutionize crime detection and investigation.
RNM has been developed after about 50 years of neuro-electromagnetic involuntary human experimentation, and according to many scientists, it’s expected that with a microchip implanted in the human brain, it could potentially make them inherently controllable. (Remember the man that was controlling a bull live on CNN in the 1980s)
Jared Loughne of the 2011 shooting spree that reportedly killed six people and wounded 13, including congressman Gabrielle Giffords, filed a lawsuit claiming he was “framed” and was “handpicked illegally to be a sleeper assassin.”  He even said that the government “put a chip in my head to control my mind.”
In 2012, 24-year-old James Holmes entered a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado and reportedly opened fire at a showing of Batman “The Dark Knight Rises,” leaving 12 people dead and 58 injured. Holmes had several family ties to U.S. government-funded research centers. He was also was one of six recipients of a National Institutes of Health Neuroscience Training Grant at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Denver, and was intimately involved in mind control experiments.
More than a month before the Washington Navy Yard  shooting on Aug. 7, 2013, Aaron Alexis reported to police that he was being stalked by unidentified individuals who followed him to three different motels. He said these individuals were using some sort of “microwave machine” to send voices into his body and they were keeping him awake at night. It is interesting and potentially relevant that Alexis refused to tell police what the voices were instructing him to do. [A copy of the redacted police report can be found here].
The Baton Rouge Gunman Gavin Long, a former marine with a rich digital footprint, said in online posts and videos that he was being targeted by “a vast government conspiracy that watches and harasses everyday Americans.”  He complained that he couldn’t sleep because he was “hearing voices.”
In March 2016, a man that police say shot and killed six people in Kalamazoo, Mich., told officers that he was being controlled by the Uber app on his phone at the time of the rampage.  When a police officer asked the Uber driver Jason Brian Dalton about the shooting, he told them that when he opened the company’s app, a symbol appeared that “would literally take over your whole body,” an officer wrote in his police report.
The latest mass shooting suspect, Esteban Santiago, who allegedly killed five people at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, on Jan. 6, reportedly walked into the Anchorage FBI Field Office in November 2016 to report that his mind was being controlled by a U.S. intelligence agency, according to a senior federal law enforcement official. He said that he “didn’t want to hurt anyone” and that he felt he was “being forced to work for ISIS.” Santiago told the FBI that he thought he was being mind-controlled, possibly by the CIA, and admitted to hearing voices. Santiago said those voices told him to “watch extremist materials on the Internet.”
Is the picture becoming clear ?
Just a few years ago, I too would have scoffed at the mere mention that these mass shooting events were anything but tragedies at the hands of sick and mentally-ill psychopaths. Granted, there are some sick and twisted people out there who need help, and who do kill others. If we were to confine our investigation to one shooting at a time, it’s unlikely that we would ever find a correlation. But looking at these events collectively, a pattern seems to emerge beyond the confines of the individual events themselves.
If we look back into history, even as far back as the shooting death of Robert F. Kennedy, might we be seeing something more to the story of these random shooting events? Is it possible that there are agendas at play, and programs at work behind the scenes to which we are not privy?
Is it possible for rogue, criminal elements inside of the U.S. government to target the minds of certain individuals through electronic means to engage in certain behavior, including killing others? Before dismissing this possibility as some conspiracy theory unworthy of further consideration, take the time to research.
This CIA activity was further verified in the August 2010 publication of Time Magazine, not exactly considered to be a fringe publication. A list of “Top Ten Weird Government Secrets” was published with “mind control” being number two on the list.
Within that article, it is stated that “some historians argue that the goal of the program was to create a mind control system by which the CIA could program people to conduct assassinations.” Is it possible that we’ve been watching this play out in different venues, for different reasons? For today’s purposes, for gun control or perhaps to condition the population to accept tighter “security” measures?
Before you laugh and dismiss the above paragraphs, realize what they are saying. This is the exact same thing we see in all of these cases.
As extraordinarily disturbing events that have such monumental impacts on society, these shootings serve only the malignant, demonic agendas of the Fed/Gov/NWO social controllers, who formulate these terrible mass killings as part of black budget classified social engineering programs. These incidents themselves act as a means to further condition, manipulate and control the United States population, and indeed, the world at large.

The 100 6x10: Matryoshka Personal Narrative
Here we go again! I hope this week went by as quick for you as it did for me! I’m super excited to see this episode--but nervous because I heard that there might be a major character death? I mean....we just lost Kane next week? Why would they do that to us again?! Any speculations? I’ve been hearing that it might be Raven (though that seems off-plot from this season) and I’ve also been hearing Octavia (but she’s in the next episode so maybe later this season, but definitely not tonight). Also, BOB DIRECTS NEXT EPISODE!!! I’m so jazzed for that! 
Love you Eliza! They can’t kill you off if you’re the only one who introduces the upcoming episodes! Lmao
Haha the reminders showing us yesterday about Bellamy being super in love with Clarke and her return. Like we need that reminder. We have been replaying that scene all week!
Love Clarke on the motorcycle.
Uh oh! Who’s on the other motorcycles?
Our head? Our head? 
You tell her Clarke! 
Damn Josephine knows her away around no matter how many years she’s been gone.
Anybody reminded of the bunker on Earth from season 1 to this one? You know the one where we all started shipping Bellarke? Lol
Ohhh....bringing up the Josephine/Gabriel relationship.
Wow. Josephine actually seems human when talking about him.
Damn.....Clarke is seizing. Damn, she is sorta worried about Clarke, but....still mostly worried about saving her own ass. Not surprised.
Ope! Here is where Raven and Abby find out Clarke is “dead.”
Russell is out for their heads. His own doing, really. 
Yeah, Raven. Look guilty and mournful for Clarke!
So Simone said that to hurt them for hurting her?
Yes, Russell, you’re fault. But not for letting them in. For trying to kill Clarke.
Awwww....calling Madi Clarke’s daughter always gets to me!
Wow. Simone is out for BLOOD!
Just like them? You are worse than them! 
Oh god?! Who are they going to kill?!?!
Oh. Telling people the truth! Good for him!
Do I hear the sounds of rebellion?
Gaia and Echo teamwork! We are getting almost all the spoiler scenes in the first ten minutes, are we? Damn.
REBELLION! REBELLION! 
Rebellion is never really peaceful, though, is it?
You tell him Echo! Haha
Wow. Make them choose who dies? Extra cruel. 
Plan B. Always have a Plan B.
I love Echo. I do. I may not like her and Bellamy together romantically, but I really, really LOVE her!
Wow Gaia. Put on the pressure. 
That’s easy....Murphy. Yup.
You tell him Madi!
Ohh....The truth is coming out!
Abby is going to kill him!
Eventually.....lol. Emori.
Abby totally giving him the slap.
You tell him, Abby!
Commercial Break #1 Thoughts: Honestly, I haven’t liked Abby this season, or most seasons, but it’s nice to see her acting like a real mother again. And also, I love Murphy, but he gets off wayyyyy too easy most time. Do I want him dead? NO! Do I agree that he would be the one to choose....don’t hate me!....but probably so. He did betray them and all. He did the right thing in the end. Sure. But mostly through a lot of outside pressure, and he probably would have gone through with it if Josephine didn’t stab him in the leg and shit. He’s very into saving his own ass. 
Is Josephine really singing....that song? Lol
Ohhh....back in the mind stuff! And it is MESSY and falling apart!
Ohhh their memories are mixing now! That is definitely not good! Way to really push the point that Clarke’s brain is deteriorating. 
Not much. Yes, I would definitely concur.
Ohhh. Her second body really didn’t want to be taken!
Josephine is actually scared. Good.
I love Clarke with a plan!
Hmmm....I hope those memories aren’t important....
Our brain, now Clarke? This is scaring me that she keeps saying “our.”
Leave it to Raven to put Clarke through hell and then give Murphy an easy talk.
So did Gaia purposely get taken?
Madi is ANGRY! 
The only person dying tonight is Russell. How come I don’t agree?
Wow. Very tense lunchtime. 
Is Ty good....or bad? 
Ohhhhh is Ty going to get himself killed because he can’t wait for the rebellion?
OH....is Simone going to die? Good riddance? I suppose....? Yup. Dead. 
No wonder Russell is going to be out for blood this episode. His poor choices are leading to his whole family’s demise. 
Commercial Break #2 Thoughts: Is anyone actually feeling bad for the Primes? I mean, I’m not, but I want to know if there is anyone out there still thinking they are good when their whole brainwashing shit is coming out. Bring on the rebellion! And seriously, already halfway through the episode? I feel, like usual, that we’ve got a lot, but still not enough. I really hope the last few episodes are not rushed because of this. That would suck. I know we’ll get a cliffhanger-ish thing like we usually do, but I hope it is after some real plot growth. Also, so we are probs not going to see Bellamy this episode? Is that what’s happening? Because next to episodes descriptions are all Bellamy/Octavia descriptions which makes me worry also about Clarke’s health. I see Eliza’s name in the cast section of both, but....still worried.
Ope. Josephine and Gabriel memories in different bodies!
Aww.....that’s so cute. I still hate her. And this is so the start of Gabriel’s hate for the Prime system.
Clarke is so sympathizing. She needs to stop being so nice.
Wow. They’re bonding. Damn. Fuck. Fine. Save them both, but give Clarke back her body. And let her live, of course. 
And here is Josephine with an ax. That’s not good. Definitely can’t not trust the psychopath.
And....there goes Josephine. But...Clarke is still inside? How? Is Josephine gone completely now? Or is she awake in Clarke’s body?
And uh oh! Killer vines!
Commercial Break #3 Thoughts: Don’t have many thoughts because that was not a lot before the next set of commercials. But I think we’re somehow seeing Josephine awake somehow? Like, why was it her who regained control when her memories were wiped? And what does this mean for Clarke’s survival? Especially when I’m convinced Josephine was going to use that ax against Clarke? Meaning she can STILL definitely NOT be trusted to keep any sort of deal in keeping them both alive. Josephine is definitely the female Murphy--a little more psycho, yes, but still valid.
At least those commercials didn’t last.
And here is the body being choked! And Gabriel and Octavia to the rescue! 
Nope....Josephine. Not Clarke.
Oh. He does still love her.  That’s not good.
Yeah, Octavia. Ask about Clarke! Save Clarke!
Wow. This is such a mess!
Damn. You guys didn’t honestly think that she was to be trusted. 
You go Bellamy!
“Because of course it is!” What sass!
Blake reunion!
You tell her Bellamy! Protect Clarke, Octavia, and your people. In that order if you don’t mind!
Gaia and Madi confrontation!
Wow Madi is really going bad! Save her!
Yes! Abby is talking sense!
That’s what you get for letting a child become Heda! 
Damn. Shedheda was horrible!
Wow Abby is really going full on mother hen now!
Raven asking the right questions! Good girl!
And this is where we are going to get Madi’s exorcism scene next week!
Ohh....the child is spared, but all the others are burned?
Very witch trials.
Commercial Break #4 Thoughts: Madi is fully gone now. Gotta get that exorcism done. Which is totally next week in Bob’s directorial debut episode next week! SO EXCITED! Which from the behind the scenes pics seems to have Jackson in it, so if he survives the burning at the stake thing, I’m thinking everyone else will, too. Just a theory, but Echo has got to come through in some aspect. And also, with some help from the rebellious people who have already been told the truth? Well. here comes the last fifteen minutes. The last five minutes of all this season’s episodes have been intense, so I wonder what the last five will bring this episode. I’m nervous. And excited. But mostly nervous as always. This show is totally going to make me go prematurely grey! 
Russell giving his dictatorship speech. Gotta have it. 
Echo is totally ready. 
You tell them Emori! 
Very witch trials. 
Damn it, Riker! What the hell?!? Can’t trust any of these bastards.
The chick on the motorcycle is going to save them last moment. Calling it.
Or.....Murphy will save them?
Hmmmm....he’s considering it.
And....now they’re safe? Again?
Ohhh....and Raven is going to use the computer to erase Madi’s bad side.
But they are still going to burn the guy who killed Simone. Typical.
I could see that coming a mile away. Gotta keep everyone in fear of the Primes.
Commercial Break #5 Thoughts: Fear is what keeps the people under control. Biggest sign of a dictatorship. And further proof that the Primes are the real bad guys here. Even Russell in his best moments has always been a brainwashing dictator playing himself off as a god. Also, last five minutes are coming up! Always the most intense! Does anyone else believe this is when we will find if Clarke is going to live or die. I really would stop watching if she died. She’s the show for me.
SAVE CLARKE Gabriel! 
Stop with the heart eyes! Only Bellamy and Clarke can have heart eyes!
She was right to depend on you. 
Gabriel making hard decisions. 
He better still save Clarke!
Either that, or the Blake’s will probably kill him.
Bellamy is seriously pissed. Save his Clarke!
Damn right, Gabriel! The only one who can be trusted I think. Maybe.
Death is life. Very poetic.
And Clarke is now seeing her mind breaking apart. 
Okay. Save her! Save her now! I’m scared! Restart her heart! 
Why is she still here!?
WHAT?!?!?!?! 
IS she really killing Clarke?
Oh God. 
Heart and the head. Hear and the head!
Save her Bellamy! This is love! 
Is that the only kiss we are only ever going to see?
Damn....are we really losing Clarke?
Oh my god. My heart seriously was stopping and racing!
The head and the heart! This is so a love confession!
THAT WAS A LOVE CONFESSION!!!!!
My hands are still shaking from thinking that they were really killing off Clarke!
