Hi I don't know if you've seen the video of Jack and that girl skating tonight yet but it got me thinking. Could you possibly talk about how fans react to Nico and Clementine if that makes sense? How do they find out? unless these are all spoilers of course🙏🏼 Love your stuff!

hi! yes i did see that video which i think is very cute tbh so good for him! please fix his hair babe and drop the link to the jeans they were cute. i really do appreciate this question for a multitude of reasons so thank you actually for asking so i can indulge myself haha

so i've actually thought about this a lot, as someone who is myself a fan and has been a part of many different fandoms (hockey is by Far not my first. i was on one direction tumblr back in the day and am convinced it prepared me for Everything). i always find it interesting as someone who's a Part of one but doesn't always engage if that makes sense.

my point is, below is how i think it would go (no big spoilers), and it's based off of hope, my experiences with what i (and im sure a lot of you guys) have seen and being realistic.

so Clem's instagram is private. that's important. and in my world, i don't think she ever goes public, even when getting together with nico and getting married (this is a spoiler but not really...you think im not gonna make them stay together? please).

okay so we've seen how people start assuming things based on who the guys follow on ig, right? so nico follows clem a few weeks after meeting her, but no one really cares. because people have done their basic research and anyone who's followed the hughes for a few years know that clem is a hughes and a family friend. its the same energy as jack following nina on ig. no one blinks an eye.

they start dating april 2024, and no one is really thinking anything. nina does follow her in the summer, which raises a few eyebrows, but nothing crazy.

clem does a semi hard launch on her ig over the summer, but again, she's private and none of her friends are snitches, so no one in the general public knows anything

we don't really know (or at least i don't) how nico is when he's a relationship because i don't believe he's been in one the general public knows about since going pro (again, could be wrong, but this is all based off my own knowledge). for example, trevor just did a hard story launch, jack did a semi one with a post when he was with sienna, etc etc.

saying that, i think speculation really starts when nicole (jesper's gf) starts following clem on ig sometime in late summer 2024 or right before the season starts. we know nico and jesper are close enough to travel in the off season together, so that's big. people start noticing that other devs players like timo and jesper start following her. blaring siren horns. that's pretty much confirmation

the hockey fights cancer article is released in the 2024-2025 season, so peopele are like oh damn nico bagged himself a beautiful, smart doctor?? good for him. move aside buddy. that kind of stuff.

hard launch on nico's end? this instagram post. they've been dating for a bit over a year already at this point. everyone goes nuts as they do

and then i imagine it's kinda like, generally good? obviously you're gonna have some crazies being weird, but people Love that narrative of clem growing up with the hughes and now dating nico

she's not as public facing as other significant others in the league, but i imagine behind closed doors she eventually does embrace the role of being the captain's girlfriend (which i hope to write about at some point). i picture something like her and nico helping out a family financially receiving treatment in the hospital when finding out they're devils fans. very behind closed doors, but extremely sweet and thoughtful. one of the kids she's treating is a huge jack fan? immediate signed jersey and tickets to the next devils game. that kind of stuff.

bc clementine knows how important all of this is. and shes always known.

and then its the typical stuff. she's spotted at games, during playoffs with the iconic wag jackets, family skates, christmas parties, various ig stories from the hugheses, nico, nicole, etc etc.

in terms of games, yes she does join the family and friends boxes once in awhile, but she absolutely LOVES being in the action. so most of the time, she's out sitting with fans. it's great. she's shotgunned many a beer with fans. devs fans adore her bc she really is one of them and doesn’t shy away from that. many say a captain + their SO represent the organization. she and nico do it perfectly.

i hope this answer was what you were looking for. this was so long winded and i apologize for that, but i did want to think out my answer because i think it's important and fun to think about!! thank you so so much for asking❤️

CHARACTER RAMBLINGS THAT WONT LEAVE ME ALONE!! YES ITS ABOUT TWO BRAINS

Something that im really worried about with my characterization of two brains is that im de-fanging him as a villain.

While he has moments of sincere kindness (like when he gives wordgirl a comb on her birthday, unprompted, or when he helped her literally all day for a presentation; in a lot of their conflicts, they seem to be roleplaying a hero and villain. yknow), he can also be really cruel (ie, in the ep where he kept interrupting wordgirl from her normal life, to the point she complained, he said something along the lines of “i dont care”; in mousebrain takeover, he nearly killed her).

[IF YOU WANT TO KEEP READING THIS MASSIVE ESSAY OF A POST, GO UNDER READ MORE! YOUVE BEEN WARNED, THIS IS REALLY LONG. I MIGHT CUT IT LATER BUT I PROBABLY WONT </3]

While the nasty parts of his personality could easily be chalked up to Squeaky, i dont think thats a fair or interesting take because this denies the autonomy that im pretty sure Boxleitner retains to a certain degree -- plus this gives the character more complexity! Maybe Boxleitner enjoys being evil! Maybe the theatrical side (like when 2 brainz was essentially giving kid math superhero cues, or whenever two brains tries to make any of his crimes a spectacle) is Boxleitner being devious and having fun?

So anyway, here comes the crux of my dilemma, and a similar dilemma i think that the wordgirl crew also had when we see that they didnt bring Boxleitner back: i love two brains as a villain too much and losing him would be really sad!!! Also, there was a post on here (i lost it though, sadly, so if anyone has it please share!!) talking about how what a character deserves is not necessarily what the plot calls for -- I think that this applies here quite well. We would all love to see Boxleitner back, but without a significant plot reason, that wouldn’t make for an interesting narrative, especially in regards to how this relates to wordgirl the character. However, if we look at the last ep that two brains was in before the show ended, it’s the mind-switching ep! And in that ep, two brains was essentially Boxleitner again (though he kept referring to his human half as two brains... inchresting), and he essentially was trying his best to be a hero for wordgirl. I like to think of this as the sign that Boxleitner coming back could have happened had the show been able to go for longer and have more lore significant moments (like secret spaceship showdown)! Man I am really hoping for a well-done carmen sandiego-esque reboot where story can take a front seat to the educational aspect (but dont get rid of it, i like the words).

Another thing I wanted to bring up was that in the pilot of the show, two brains was seen to be having inner conflicts between Boxleitner and Squeaky a la Jekyll and Hyde, but this was cut due to being too dark for a really young audience. However, I wanted to put a twist to that (i know this is cringe but please bear with me): in the pilot, Boxleitner is made aware of there being an audience of kids out there, so I wonder if he tries very hard to not show his struggle to kids, including to wordgirl. So what the audience sees is a silly mouse guy who is delightfully dastardly, while in actuality Boxleitner has to hold himself back from being worse or truly hurting people. I don’t find this hard to believe given that Squeaky was gung ho for murdering a little alien girl and her ape friend. (But there’s also that interesting twist that Boxleitner may also have enjoyed the creativity of his villain persona, given that we see his inventions being absolutely bonkers nuts like a time stopping device??? or a huge magnet that can pull heavenly bodies???).

To that end, I dont see two brains separating voluntarily. First factor is time - hes been stuck for so long, and this has become familiar. Also, there is a chance that he may not feel like there’s anything left for him as Boxleitner -- throughout the series we dont really see a mention of his family, save for mention of a “niece” (i think this was the ms power ep) and a young lady he was in a photo with (in the new years’ ep). I’m guessing the lady is a younger or older sister, and that the niece is her daughter --> judging from the photo, and how he has kept it, I am thinking that he had a good relationship with her, and judging from how he was able to go to her niece’s graduation, they maintained contact even after he was Mous-ified.

Personally, my perspective on Boxleitner’s Backstory is that he was in a bad home, but he and his sister were close and managed to get out via college. Boxy just went into something like chem or biochem. He became a professor at Fair City (with an ulterior motive of meeting a superhero that hes heard of that lives there), teaching chem or whatever, and doing research into public service/superheroing on the side (very stressful, as hes running out of funding and nobody thinks this is a worthwhile venture). He is never able to catch up to wordgirl, and constantly misses meeting her -- in fact he is never able to see her clearly since shes zipping around too quickly and doesnt stop to talk to people.

At this point, no one has really seen what wordgirl looks like since 1) she barely knows how to be a hero and 2) Huggy is probably more focused on her doing a good job and helping people, and doesnt take into consideration the public aspect of being a hero (we can see in the show that he’s very protective of her identity - he probably doesnt want her to be seen for too long). One day, on his way to a presentation, he is saved by a very young wordgirl (probably around age 6-7)! He’s shocked that Fair City’s hero is a little girl, and he is instantly like “where are your parents???” etc. etc. but upon meeting Boxy, she finds in him a mentor that can help her with superhero-ing alongside Huggy (if Huggy helps with her alien powers, then Boxleitner helps her with being human). He goes 100% into research and publishing that superheroes and you book and sort of foregoes his professor responsibilities in favor of helping out wordgirl full time and working as a researcher for fair city. This leads to struggles with presentations and grant denials and other things that plague academia (screaming crying), things that wordgirl is unaware of (she is BABY) and also the audience doesn’t see (Boxleitner is a king of repression). As for Squeaky, I sort of see that as a project of ego --> not really for the benefit of science, but mostly for the spectacle and to remain relevant as a researcher. He was essentially pulling an Icarus after a bunch of fails and the need to do something good. Maybe I’m looking into this too deeply, but whatever thats the joy of life!!!

ANYWAY, all this to say that he never mentions parents and probably wouldnt have a drive to go back to the life he left behind. Except! He loves his sister (otherwise, why would he keep that image of himself and her NEXT TO HIS BED...) and he obviously loves wordgirl. I am wondering if there would ever be a catalyst event that he cannot stand being two brains anymore (maybe hurting wordgirl really bad, emotionally or physically, or maybe guilt has caught up to him or maybe he has grown horribly tired of losing all the time). I would imagine there being an invention mishap or an accident that throws them into a new situation --> picking up the pieces of being shocked into a new situation could prove to be interesting in seeing how characters respond to this change.

To conclude, I am conflicted with where to go --> I see Boxleitner trying so hard to help wordgirl with being a hero, especially considering that as she grows older shes going to need more help with problems like with violet or facing villains that get tougher and tougher like rhyme and reason; despite his help, he falls short and has to deal with the fact he was not as there for her as he should have. Or Boxleitner decides that he wants to stay a villain (I love two brains i hate to see him go). Personally I think the first option seems more interesting in how he can adjust to this new life and there are interesting themes of consequences and forgiveness to be explored there.

Ok thats all folks! Until next time :-)

ugh

despite being such a gossip and drama hound myself, i do not relish being the subject of it. you might think its because being the subject of scrutiny and attention is stressful. it’s actually because the people who keep lining up to try to shots at me wind up being the dumbest people alive who knock themselves out somehow. i think its important to get in front of “a narrative”, especially in this case, where every player is a lying liar who lies ahahaha. this one is way funnier than morbi actually. up until now, i was tactfully setting aside what happened out of uh. whatever kindness was left in my heart, i guess. more fool me!

im not going out of my way to crop ppl out of this if you look bad its your own damn fault. no one made you type this shit but you. dont post shit you can’t cash.

you might have been confused by the exchange between anon and this guy yesterday when i reblogged it to set the record straight on morbi. i was, until very recently, an infrequent contributor to his webcomics discord. earlier this year, i tried to reach out into more communities so i could get to know more artists and keep up with what’s hot (what a stupid fucking idea that was, in hindsight). a few days ago, some weirdly supportive of kiwifarms tweets from a comic artist who was ruined by them were posted for discussion. everyone pretty much just noted that it was weird with one person asking what kf even was. everyone else explained so i added this stupid shit

note: this is at 5:24 am. because at 7pm that night, one of the people in the discord goes completely full fucking tilt out of literally nowhere. i have screencapped the entire conversation up until that point as proof that i 1. literally did not say anything else the entire day and 2. proof that the conversation was completely normal up until that point.

inexplicably, people in the server put on kids gloves and start trying to come to a middle ground with this dipshit like hmm yes maybe we are a little kiwifarms could you explain more so we can understand you. when i noticed an hour later i saw red.

for someone who was “not helping”, the attention-seeking hysteric suddenly evaporated into thin air. i dont think anyone has actually shamed them for their behavior before. the conversation was shut down rather than resolved because i raised the temperature. daniel invited me to speak to him more privately in his dm if i had any more concerns bc i was pissed it was being swept under the rug. so i did.

here is the conversation in full. im posting it bc it makes him look like a clown and because later, he characterizes this as “chasing him” into his dms. what i didnt realize until today is that he says that the person going nuts is a moderator’s sibling, which explains why they’re permitted to take huge shits on people with no repercussions.

having committed the worst crime you can do in a nerd group (be mean) i was subjected to a post-mortem about the event (?) which culminated with this unbelievable irony cap

after my 10 mins were up, i said “i am not a good cultural fit or share the same moral priorities as this server and i will show myself out” and left. i vented on my twitter with blistering posts basically saying “well they’re all young. its annoying and seems bad but what can i do but leave”. and left it there.

it seems insanely obvious to me, so obvious that i struggled to even have to explain it to people whose entire brain appeared to have leaked out of their skull, that allowing someone in your discord for artists accuse random artists of wanting to reboot the mass shooting and violent transphobia website is literally the worst possible behavior you could permit. i wasnt expecting the mods to leap into action and do something, as they seemed to desperately think. i wanted to not belong to a community that would tolerate or entertain this.

anyway, yesterday morbi happened. i reblogged that post and daniel, after being told he wasnt a problem, decided he absolutely had to be one right now. he followed me on twitter and began posting ominously about a “write-up” of what happened between morbi and i because “some people” (this could literally only be the discord chat, and the reason he didnt want to post it there so they could snicker at it to themselves was because he thought this would humiliate or scare me) were curious.

maybe you’ve noticed a little flaw in the logic both morbi and dan have when it comes to “doxing”: for two people who are very concerned about privacy they’re out here retweeting the very information they’re decrying as invasive and then dan goes and fucking googles her and posts on a public platform more information about her than i cared to know. i cant stop thinking about how these morons were completely convinced they were doing something noble and righteous here by standing up for someone that maybe might be a black woman (hence: racism) based entirely on like a pintrest account

the cloying, transparent attempts to seduce me into messaging him first to soothe his battered ego are so desperate and pathetic that they make you hurt from the sidelines. you can see me gently try to explain why they look like a complete lunatic clutching their pearls over unmasking anonymous hate before i give up. there was so much obviously wrong about what they were doing that i was in disbelief that they were telling me that they were doing it.

1. taking a “both sides” approach doesn’t work when one person is a serial sexual harasser and the other posted an email address attached to a near cry-typing comment.

2. the attempt to use black women as a cudgel to defeat his posting enemy.

3. whatever this. attempt at banter is. idk man.

all of this didn’t work, so he tried showing me a piece of what he was writing that was the most deliberately inflammatory in the hopes that this morsel would finally compel me to bite and come begging for a re-write to save my webcomic career.

i wasn’t posting in a way that was drawing attention to this, it was a nosy (positive) friend who noticed this happening and went “holy shit what the fuck are you doing” which caused him to backpedal furiously

i was planning on letting him post it and just letting it speak for itself. i cannot think of a more ruinous thing to do to yourself than to ally with a sexual harasser and post openly and transparently about how extremely mad you are about how a girl made you feel. what could have possibly gone wrong.

in the end, daniel signed off with this post, signaling a more positive future for himself and his comic since his plan to annoy someone with a reputation for being a huge bitch multiple times by trying to downplay the severity of his and his friend’s actions, somehow blew up in his face

ah wait hold on. im getting word that he posted this after deleting a different post. this one

if there were any doubt what this were all about, daniel went and tweeted it out (literally) because subtext is difficult. my demand for a public apology for being accused baselessly of a career ending lie in order to stop this behavior from ever happening again has been recontextualized in his head as mean old bea picking on him and forcing him to do terrible things like “moderate” as a moderator.

over the past week ive been subject to racists, sex pests and 0/10 trolls but the spineless, moral coward is the most egregiously memorable of the lot. despite the amount of leeway i gave him for his repeated weak-willed behavior, he always found a new way to own himself without external prompting. despite me walking away and being satisfied with that, he came back for more. there are some people you cannot help, there are some people i don’t want to help because they cannot stop putting their hands on hot stoves. and then there are people who are begging for it.

somehow, it will be my fault that he feels bad and embarrassed about his behavior because i have catalogued it after being pushed around enough and it will not be seen as a direct result of his repeated failure of conscience.

anyway lol, lmao

GOOD MORNING i am just as, if not more conflicted than last night. and i am all over the place my thoughts are just existing in the air like a cloud of little bugs so the fact that i managed to already take a net and put them all together is a lot do not expect it to be organised

ok so. first of all i still love the absurdity of it. its completely fucking nuts. its dumb as shit. it makes no sense. i love it

but the thing, as i’ve also noticed with several of the latest c!wilbur streams, is that i love it more because of the concept, the vision, because i see what it Could have been and it came close to that, but not exactly. basically, the execution had a. erm. couple issues

i think, mostly, i see that it was trying to go for the usual season 1 sillyness, but it felt a bit... forced? like its a bit of a contradiction. on one hand, the fact that this has been planned since april and even before certifies it’s not just a cop out ending, because i think we all know wilbur is capable of writing a more dramatic, bittersweet ending. on the other hand, Specifically because it’s been planned, it feels a bit. Forced. On us. like the whole thing about season 1 and even later seasons of why the wacky shit worked and moved along with the rest of the story was because it was the ccs coming up with it on the spot, for the most part. and it was everyone else having to gape at that, laugh, then go “yes and” and move on. and here... it wasnt really that, because of tommy. tommy did not laugh (or, well, it was a nervous laugh), tommy was shocked, tommy was still reeling from the brilliant but UNFINISHED conversation they’d just had, tommy did not really go “yes and”, tommy was not as lighthearted as wilbur, tommy reacted like the audience. for us it felt less like a season 1 dumb joke and more like the rug was pulled underneath us because it was done too early, and everyone was still in the headspace of “you’re gonna kill yourself” and “you mean the world to me, bro”. and i think that’s what made it not work for so many people. to incorporate some of that season 1 lightheardness, i feel like it should’ve been bended to fit the tone of the current season, because it’s Not the same. it’s not the same stakes. these are two characters who have either attempted or committed suicide in the past, and who still exhibited that behavior after. that was simply not a thing in season 1, and that’s why back then saying shit like “i fucked a salmon” in the middle of an important conversion could work. and it also means they did have a responsibility to Address it, and this is where im so frustrated, because they started off so well. god, that entire c!crime conversation with “you haven’t apologised to yourself” and “you fail to even care about me” and “you mean the world to me, bro” and “why didn’t you ever say sorry?” and “i never used to be this angry”. it was gold. it was brilliant. it was everything i wanted from the c!crimeboys finale. and then it.... stopped there?

like. like it just feel like something’s missing. because here’s the thing: the reason for a lot of people’s anger (and i think that’s completely valid) is that it feels like we got tricked into thinking the “when im gone” and “where im going” statements from c!wilbur were not in fact suicidal ideation, but just. going to utah. but the thing is That’s Not the extent of the suicidal ideation he showed. he still so obviously hated himself. so much. he still doesn’t think he deserves to heal, or at least he didn’t last time i checked, and so it’s like, why is he all of a sudden going off to heal by himself when he still thinks himself the scum of the earth? it’s like i said, i see the vision. c!wilbur, character who has since the very beginning, repressed his emotions and restricted himself by imposing roles on himself, essentially trapping himself in a narrative he can’t escape from, and that’s leading him very clearly with all the signs to a flamboyant, last show before he kills himself. i see the vision of him escaping that, by deciding No, actually, i’m worth more than a narrative ending, and fucking off to utah, the least tragic tortured hero ending of all time. just fucking utah. i see it. god i see it. but thats the thing, the core of the issue is it feels... like it feels more like cc!wilburs decision than c!wilbur’s decision. because how on earth did c!wilbur free himself from that mindset? how could he have, after months and months of being stuck in that cycle, of hating himself, suddenly decided he was worth more than that imaginary narrative (well, for him. theres a narrative for us but ignore that)? after ctommy tried so hard to convince him of it, and that didn’t work? what was the catalyst event?

that’s the core of the issue, in my opinion.

and also because it leaves so many loose ends untied. and i get what cc!wilbur said, with everyone’s restrictions it was impossible to tie everything neatly together in a little bow. i get that, i was expecting it. but what completely dumbfounds me is the loose ends that have specifically been created by his latest lore streams, like i mean. cfundy?? what the fuck happened there? his son’s just. dead? fucking offed himself in front of him? and we don’t see any... follow up after that?

i also think there was a timing issue. cwilbur, apparently though like i said we’ve not seen how he came to that decision, is ready to go and heal by himself. i think most of us knew that at some point, c!crime were gonna have to break off for a bit and heal separately before they’re ready to be together again (it was never gonna be permanent. the utah thing is not permanent because i firmly believe you can’t take them away from each other for that long). but while c!wilbur was ready to start breaking that codepency, ctommy... very much wasn’t? he’s a character that’s always latched on, perhaps unhealthily, to the people around him, but. it’s always been because he’s in a desperate need of a support system. i hate to bring age into this and feel free to disregard this argument, but he’s also Noticeably younger than cwilbur. cwilbur’s an adult, he’s got a heap ton of issues and he needs other people, but he’s also more of an independent person at his core. ctommy is not that. ctommy, right now, is essentially completely alone. cwilbur left, and maybe they’ve created some sort of peace by talking it out and him apologising but he’s still gone, ctubbo’s still buried in whatever he’s doing, cranboo’s dead, it just goes on an on. he’s virtually alone. at cdream’s mercy, because i think none of us believe for a second cwilbur’s deal’s gonna hold up. for fuck’s sake the only person who knows the extent of exile has fucked off to utah. and that’s what i mean about how jarring the wacky ending is, because of the context it’s in.

cwilbur saying “fuck off” to letting himself be controlled by narrative roles is beautiful. cwilbur leaving his kid brother alone, at the mercy of his abuser, with no one else who knows what happened him, is not.

like maybe this is the inniter talking, but to me it wasn’t a fully satisfying ending because of ctommy. he cried at the end. and no, it wasn’t a couple tears with a bittersweet smile as he watched cwilbur row away and they both walked their own paths for a little while. he waited until he was out of earshot, pretended to smile, and then broke down. that tells me there’s still things left unsaid. he’s been left hanging. he’s still in danger, he’s still alone, he was simply not ready for them to try breaking their codependency yet because it was basically his only support system. you try to heal away from that person once you have something to fall back on, once you’re ready to learn to live with yourself. ctommy cannot learn to do that yet. he’s simply not in a situation where he can. so that’s why to me, it doesn’t feel like healing for him. it doesn’t feel very fair.

i guess im sad because i see so clearly what it could’ve been. if the c!crime talk had been longer. if we saw what changed c!wilbur mindset and what made him decide to take a chance on himself and heal on his own, if we saw ctommy with some kind of support system he could fall back on, then it would’ve been so lovely. completely wack, stupid as shit, and lovely. i love the idea, and i still loved watching because i can’t not love it. it’s c!wilbur, yknow? and im still immensely grateful & proud of wilbur for what he gave us for two years, for managing to keep writing his character and insisting on giving us an ending and some closure. i just wish it didn’t come so close to being the brilliant ending he wanted and missed a bit because of some untied ends.

#HELLOOOO i have many thoughts today #i'll tag cc crit just in case but. im not mad at wilbur personally. i genuinely still loved it i just gotta talk or i'll die #ALSO. guys this is a very polarizing ending. dont come for people who are genuinely upset/disappointed at it.#like even with all of the crit points i've raised i personally still love it but there are people who can't look past them. and that's fair.#don't come for them bc for a lot of people this stream did feel like getting hit in the face #alex.rambles.txt #c!wilbur #cc!wilbur #cc!wilbur critical #discourse #dsmp spoilers #mcyt #long post

Loki: Religious Predestination v Free-Will

And how that affects his relationship with Mobius, narratively speaking

So. In case it isn’t clear by *gestures at my whole blog*, I’m a Supernatural blog. I’m a DeanCas blog. I haven’t been around much lately because there are very important, Orwellian things going on in Brasil, but I still keep up with the fandom. And, more important to this post, I still keep up with whatever Marvel’s doing, which means I get up at 7 am every Wednesday to watch Loki.

(Before we start, I’d like to note that I had never actually published any meta on Tumblr. The most I had done was give it to my philosophy and biology teachers as school essays. So, bear with me, okay?)

Well, what does Supernatural have to do with Loki? Not much, except for the narrative they very obviously share. The characters are different, their motivations too, and so are many of the variables that surround, but deep down, at the core, it is the same narrative of Religious Predestination versus Free-Will. And yes, that drives me all the way up the walls.

Religious Predestination is the idea that all events, past, present, and future have been foretold, “written”, predicted by divine, omnipotent beings. There are different types of Predestination, but the two I think fit the most here are Double Predestination and Middle Knowledge (yes, most of my knowledge of this comes from Wikipedia, sue me).

The first claims that God (or whichever omnipotent divine being is responsible for the predestination, in this case, the Time-Keepers) chooses from his own will who will be “condemned” and who will be “saved”. This applies to the show when we consider the fact that Loki has been “predestined” to be a villain. Is all he’s ever been, it’s what he was “born to be”, while the Avengers were all born to be heroes, according to the decrees of the Time-Keepers.

Meanwhile, Middle Knowledge defends that, before the creation of the world (or, in this case, the Sacred Timeline), God already knew every choice that every free-will possessing creature could make in any given circumstance, and He chose the “timeline” that most suited his will. This version also makes sense when we consider the existence of multiple timelines and that the Time-Keepers united them and decided what would be the proper flow of time.

Now, which exact version of Religious Predestination to pick isn’t exactly my point here. My point is that I) everything about the TVA screams Religious Predestination allegory, from the minutemen and other agents being “created” to the words “decree” and “dictate” being thrown around whenever Ravonna is on screen or someone’s talking about the Time-Keepers (who just so happen to be kind of worshipped at the TVA, as there are so many statues of them. They are treated like gods. They are gods.). Do you know what else is a Religious Predestination allegory? Blade Runner. Do you know what was one of the main inspirations for the TVA’s design? Blade Runner! That could mean nothing or that could mean something given *gestures vaguely at the rest of this post*.

So. Loki seeks to escape his “Destiny”. He wants to make his own choices without them being decreed by divine, omnipotent beings. He wants his successes and failures (but mostly his successes) to be his own, and, most important, he doesn’t want to be what everyone expects him to be. Not anymore. Not after what he saw at the TVA. Because everyone is telling him that he was “born to be” a villain (or, at the very least, a side character), he will now want to prove to everyone that he can be more than that. Because he is that “insubordinate, stubborn, and unpredictable” (even if he plans on overthrowing the TVA, I don’t think he sees that as an act of villainy. Maybe he never even planned on actually overthrowing the TVA, maybe he just wanted to get the Variant).

And Mobius, well. Mobius is a good TVA agent. Not all good, of course, ‘cause he has shown more than once that he doesn’t completely agree with how the TVA does things (“They should be scared” “Not of us”), even though, at the end of the day, he believes in them and accepts their mission because he believes they are doing the right thing (unless I’m completely wrong about Mobius, he is the true villain of the show, and has an evil plan of his own. Sorry, I saw a post and now I’m paranoid). So, what happens when an already questioning, though devoted, agent of the Time Variance Authority like Mobius comes into contact with someone like Loki, who pretty much worships Chaos? After having studied Loki’s whole life, and admittedly being a big fan? Well, this happens:

(If looks could kill indeed, Mobius)

Loki is supposed to drag Mobius out of his comfort zone at the TVA, to make him question things harder. Because it would seem “good people are never truly good”, so what’s behind the TVA’s Orwellian, Blade Runner-y scenario? And, even if they’re just really boring and full of paperwork, why should anyone dictate the proper flow of time? What about Free-Will, what about Chaos?

That is how this sort of narrative is supposed to go. Because Loki and Mobius are complete opposites in where they came from and who they wanna be, but at the same time, they’re much alike, as Ravonna even says. She accuses Mobius of being just as insubordinate and stubborn as Loki is. Loki was born and he wanted to be king because he thought (and was led to believe) it was his birthright. Now he wants to tell his own story more than ever ‘cause how dare the Time-Keepers predestinate Loki. Meanwhile, Mobius was created and all he’s ever known is the TVA’s order. But he is stubborn at heart and he craves humanity (the jet ski???), even if he believes he can’t have it because it’s too chaotic or simply not meant for him.

Mobius doesn’t see Loki as a villain (“no one bad is ever truly bad”?). He believes that Loki can be better. And Loki, if I’m reading this right, should help Mobius see that he’s, you know, kind of working for an authoritarian agency, what with “dictating the proper flow of time” and all that. (Yeah, yeah, I know. Multiversal war this, multiversal war that, but isn’t Doctor Strange’s next movie called Multiverse of Madness? Also, has anyone ever actually met the Time-Keepers? Or do all the TVA agents just blindly follow their orders? Maybe we’re bound to have a Multiverse by the end of this anyway.)

(And I’ve seen this narrative before. Faithless man meets angel, makes angel question Heaven’s orders, angel finds out Heaven is not that good after all, angel literally fall for the faithless man. In between, there is a lot of staring and standing too close and betrayals. It’s ridiculous how similar it is.)

So, where was I going with all of this…look, narratively speaking, from what we’ve seen so far, these two are a perfect match (and I’m not even mentioning Loki’s thing for older men in positions of power, which Mobius is completely aware of

). But there is a big, big distance between the narrative pointing towards something and the creative (though, let’s be honest, probably the executive) powers following through.

Now, it wasn’t just the Religious Predestination thing that caught my attention here, no. It wasn’t even the Blade Runner parallels (I’m quite sure Loki has Galatians Syndrome, but that’s a whole other post). It was how similar the plot of Loki is to the plot of Where Mischief Lies by Mackenzi Lee. It caught my attention to the point that I’m nervously glancing at my book while writing this. But I don’t want this to be too long, so I’m gonna put that on a separate post.

Anyway, I hope at least some of this made sense, and thank you so much for reading through my rambling!

#loki #loki series #loki x mobius #mobius #the loki meta no one asked for #i know the gifs are really bad #i made them myself #i had never giffed before #yes i have a thing for blade runner #yes im going nuts with this narrative #lokius #mobius m mobius #i don't expect any of this to make sense #it sounded more coherent in my head

just searched it up and oh of Course the cis white woman is threatened by trans-inclusive terminology...istg white women do everything to prove how hard life is because of their ONE axis of oppression even when it makes no sense. anyway yes that's exactly it, it's so 'white-feminist' which is why it felt so one-dimensional, whereas the vegeterian was so complex and multidimensional because woc just Get it. and that's also why TEW felt so empty because it really just focused on marian's isolated pov to the point that literally Nothing was happening around her, she was just silently going nuts which wouldve been okay had it been shown well. anyway, i was really interested in trying to read other margaret atwood books but even disregarding her shittiness, her writing style seems too aimless and anticlimactic for me. there's a book that i absolutely love called bunny by mona awad, it leans less into the feminism narrative (tho it does really do well at criticizing rich white-feminism) but it still has that /super/ trippy and fever-dream aspect in books that i loved in the vegetarian so if youre into that effect i highly reccommend that one! i saw you reading the silent patient which i really enjoyed, have you finished it?

you really get it anon. the stilted 'white cis women are the most oppressed people in the world how you ask me to give a fuck abt anyone else' vibes truly reflect in her work. was immediately turned off from reading any of atwood's other works after that one esp when authors of color are doing more interesting things w similar concepts. nd i'll add bunny to my to read list! still not done with the silent patient i took a break from reading it to tackle the ballad of black tom but i definitely have plans to finish it since it came so highly spoken of nd im abt 15% in nd its been interesting so far!

#kendras book club #miss atwood too boring nd short sighted of a white woman writer to be talking all that shit tbh #asks

Do you have any Opinions™ about "slippery" Antenor from Aeneid book 1? He's such a minor character but I think about him sometimes because the first time I was reading the Aeneid I translated him as Slippery Antenor and now he has a special place in my heart. If you don't like him, do you have any minor characters from epic poetry that you go apeshit for?

gonna be honest i forgot that slippery antenor was even a guy BUT yes who DOESN'T have minor characters they go nuts over. i like lycaon in the iliad and particularly alice oswald's description of his death and OH eurylochus. hashtag eurylochus made some valid points. so many more modern like. mutiny narratives. owe it to eurylochus who btw may be the closest odysseus gets to having a [girard voice] Enemy Brother via being odysseus' brother in law. also IUTURNA my beloved...... like legally as a lesbian i must love and appreciate camilla. but too quickly people forget iuturna who is! also a lesbian source: trust me im right. also shoutout to mezentius just bcs. putting the atrocities to the side. the epithet CONTEMPTOR DIVUM (SPURNER of the gods) is epic and sexy. also all the hashtag doomed youth in the aeneid although idk if pallas counts as a Minor character. i would say he is important actually. marcellus however. eye emoji

#iuturna and turnus in book 12 when the Fate catches up to them. pain suffering agony woe torment #(mutiny narratives rather than just conspiracy narratives bcs Boat is an important component)#beeps

okay okay nerd post incoming but i really am obsessed w how star trek does holodeck episodes. there's nothing else on tv quite like it... like. you're in the story but you're also outside it and you know how it ends and you can't stop it because that's how it's meant to end [insert john darnielle why ppl cry at the movies quote here] and yes on one hand it was basically just invented as a plot point with completely nonsense science so we could have different settings + costume styles while still being on a spaceship. but at the same time it's such a wonderful delightful opportunity for storytelling... maybe im just obsessed with fate and narratives but still *mwah*... how either you have to fulfill destiny (as in, the narrative of the story you are trapped in) [ie voyager beowulf episode] or subvert it [OUR MAN BASHIR our man bashir my beloveddddd. how in order to save everyone julian has to save to be a hero he has to do the one thing bond would never do bc of his own heroism.] and of course i also love love love all the ones that deal w drawing the line between fiction and reality... as escape [ie its just a paper moon from ds9] or as love or both... the ones which interpret this as an overtly romantic subplot yes but also the town in voyager that they try to keep running and make "real" (which is, really, basically a romance between the whole crew of voyager and the town) but of course that never works bc as a real person youre basically a god to the holograms... come on guys tell me this doesn't make you go nuts at least a little. also i mean they are just fun! after all this space politics don't we all want to see cool dresses and listen to jazz?

#i feel like city on the edge of forever is a precursor 2 the holodeck eps in a lot of ways. yk... the fate the doomed romance the cool sets #also not saying all of these episodes are 'good' in the traditional sense. they are pleasing to me + thats what matters.#chitchat #star trek

A couple episodes ago, when we talked about Lia, I must admit it was the first time she irked me. A case involving Gordon and his family is the exact kind of case I'd love for Magnum and Higgins to get in on for the bonding it could give us. I really had little to no patience for Lia taking on the role, though I didn't necessarily disagree with her keeping Gordon('s very understandable anger) in check before he could do something that could hurt his career. Then I realized: any storyline involving Magnum and Higgins, the spotlight will be on them, whereas, for this episode, it needed to be on Gordon. Lia is practically a non-entity; she, as a supporting character, wouldn't overshadow Gordon. And if, at the same time, we got a tidbit of insight into her character? Two birds, one stone. Setting her up now as a straight-laced, by-the-book cop makes for good contrast if her upcoming secret involves matters that are, let's say, extralegal in nature. I'm theorizing that her outburst at Magnum was done for the same effect. Whether it worked or not in endearing her to the audience, ehhh...I let it go. Better things to focus on.

Which I'll get to in my next ask...let's go!

(2/2) I know I'm not the only one whose mind went to Hannah when Magnum tells the groom to grieve for the woman he thought he knew (paraphrasing here). Though, I couldn't help myself from hoping it's foreshadowing the end for Magnum and Lia, considering we know she has some secret that's yet to be revealed. The Miggy shipper in me wants the show to extract whatever narrative value it is looking for in Lia and be done with her, all as quickly as possible. The afterthoughts I had kinda nixed the idea. For one, our boy deserves better than to be retraumatized by love again. Two, secrets are a heavy theme this season. So, naturally, Higgins has one. And if hers has the potential to bring them closer together, it's way too soon for me to assume that Lia's won't also do the same. This one is me trying my level best to temper my expectations. I don't want to get mired in timelines before I become disappointed in what the writers have in store. Ngl, that's what I felt when Ethan stuck around after the season 3 finale. But...not only did he do his job in making Magnum feel envious and wistful- to my shock, he also got Higgins to compare her feelings for him to her ever-expanding love for Magnum in a roundabout way. So hey, bygones for his runtime. I'm hoping Lia can do the same. Rather than break his trust and his heart, I hope the relationship naturally falls apart while simultaneously proving Higgins as The One. I know the overall objective is Miggy; I'm not worried. Only a matter of when and how. And to those inquiries, I'm not going to drive myself crazy trying to speculate. I give you permission to pull out this receipt if you ever do see me going nuts someday.

to save the scrollers lol:

sometimes yall tell me stuff and i really do be feeling like a casual fan because i did not know lia is gonna have a secret but im here for it. definitely agree though, that scene rubbed me the wrong way for sure.

yes, 100% agree. similar to what i said with higgins and ethan, i don't want either of them being hurt by love again. i thought they both needed a relationship after the painful one, which for magnum should've been abby. i guess they had to cut that short because of the actress leaving so they needed to bring another in to do the whole story?

definitely don't drive yourself crazy! just enjoy it as it comes. personally, they are one of my easiest ships so im pretty much down for whatever, as long as they dont go backwards. i was expecting a little more this week, so that was a tad disappointing, but overall show wise im much happier with it this season than last

#wonder what lias secret will be tho #hopefully higgins tells him hers before lia does so they cant get compared in that way #asks #otp-armada

Idk if you’ve watched the episode yet but Pei Ming’s eng dub voice does NOT convince me that women fawn all over him. Like it isn’t bad per say i just expected a sexier voice I guess? Like more alluring.

okay pei ming likers look away im in the mood to hate on your boy sorry </3 anon i WANT to agree with you but tbh ive heard some of the voices that some of my straightgirl friends think are attractive and he isnt too far off tbh like he sounds like what those voices would sound like if they were being dubbed by funimation which is pretty much what is happening. but yes it's not terribly alluring i do agree with you there. anyway also the scene of him seducing xuan ji was honestly kind of funny in the dub like i was rolling my eyes at his lines "if only you'd smile more often" "why not live - in the moment?" etc etc vomit but i actually kind of support this choice because of how i feel about pei ming i think he has that vibe ANYWAY whenever i think about the xuan ji and pei ming backstory its like. yes xuan ji being unable to let go is what causes her to stay a ghost and a lot of innocent people died because of her (also she causes problems for pei ming but thats funny so its fine) and narratively its important that eventually she is able to let go and move on and its bad that she hasnt. but at the same time i dont think i fully buy the angle that she just went nuts like really general pei? you got involved with this general you captured and lovebombed and then dumped DURING THE WAR BETWEEN YOUR NATIONS and thought she would just be chill about it??? "pei ming doesnt like assertive women" ah yes good thing people become military leaders through being meek and submissive. literally what did he think was going to happen? also didnt she and yushi huang know each other weren't they from the same homeland? thats not related im just Thinking about it. anyway xuan ji is stupid hot #crazybitchrights

#im just sitting around waiting for ox cart scene dub #also i think xl's voice is the best one mq is pretty good too #ask

The Baaba Maal concert was Jan 20th. Heathrow was supposed to insinuate Harry going to LA to support Louis through the stunt… do y’all actually read the Larrie theories before debunking them?

I don’t think Syco was sending messages. And you know I don’t think that. You had to resort to a strawman fallacy to attempt to ridicule my argument. I don’t think Syco gave a damn WHAT the fans believed or that they had a coherent narrative in mind, they just wanted fans to focus on something that wasn’t one of the members of the most profitable act they’ve ever had fathering a child at the same exact time that they had the last few dollars to squeeze out of it, especially because the perception of that member as a father could potentially drive away hundreds of thousands of incredibly profitable fans (or are you gonna argue now that 2015 wasn’t the biggest year in terms of % for the Larrie fandom?)

Fine, convince yourself that Mark the sound guy had absolutely no idea he was encouraging fans to believe a whole ass child was fake. He never read one reply to his tweets, he never read one text message. No one in the crew realized it either.

Im not even saying that he should understand the entire lore of the Larrie cult. I’m just saying the very very bare bone basics. He didn’t realize it!! Poor Mark had no idea. He went through all the trouble of getting the bears a phone and a phone number but never even read ONE of the text messages fans sent. Poor innocent Mark.

I really hate that y’all are the face of “the antis” because y’all make us look like idiots who can’t actually explain how and why Larrie beliefs are ridiculous and we just ignore their points. You can’t even say “yeah, it’s possible that Syco (which was bound to have marketing department who looked into fan engagement) noticed that fans were theorizing about the bears and saw the imminent upset Louis’ baby announcement could cause in a crucial moment of the band and decided to encourage the tech guy that was behind it to continue and maybe hint harder”

Like? What is so strange about that? I don’t even think Syco told him what to do. Just to deflect from what was happening and engage fans so they don’t stop supporting the band, but he make the decisions, obviously. I don’t think anyone in their right mind believes there was a table of executives saying “ah, yes, now put a wedding dress on the big Bear! Genius genius!!” And of course most of the Larrie interpretation of the bears wasn’t hinting at anything. Mark probably knew fans would make the theories fit even if he didn’t plan anything to make them fit. I only think he tried to soothe the fanbase by sending positive messages when things got dicey for them (the baby being born, pictures of the baby…), hence “Larry ok”, “little book of calm”, “coping with diarrhea”, and the implication that Harry had gone to LA to see Louis. The Twitter seemed half nonsensical and half reactionary. The concert setups were obviously all nonsensical, which is why 6 years later Larries are trying to figure out what the hell the dude meant with nut tree.

Btw, we don’t know if the guy is gay. Kinda weird for you to make that assumption.

"I don’t know what motivated this man to do what he did. I have no clue. The only explanation I have is that it started in good innocent fun and when Syco saw the engagement it got from fans they decided to use it to their advantage, since they probably wanted to maximize profits and knew a good chunk of the fanbase would be turned off by the news of Louis becoming a father"

I only know what you think via what you tell me you think in your anonymous asks. I think your theory is ridiculous. I get that you're outraged by that and are incredulous that I don't agree with you; you don't have to keep coming back to tell me. Though the backtracking is kind of funny.

Meanwhile you keep attempting to put words in my mouth. I'm posting your ask so you can see what it looks like when you have a one-sided argument with yourself ("Are you gonna argue now that...?.", "Fine, go ahead and convince yourself that Mark...") while you work out and expand on your conspiracy theory.

As it somehow isn't blatantly obvious to you, I'll make it clear: I have zero intention of "explaining" or debunking Larries' delusional theories about teddy bears six years later. They do not warrant an explanation beyond what I've given (by "narrative" I was referring to your narrative) . I don't care if you - an angry, anonymous person on the internet- think I make "antis" look like idiots.

Sequined swimsuit

I’m studying your body as we talk. I’m wondering if the sparkly swimsuit your wearing, if the sequins made it uncomfortable . Then my eyes wondered down your body, to between your legs. As I’m studying the curves and possible hidden secrets. I turn my focus on our conversation about *******. I’m smiling in my mind, I’m wondering if the sparkles went down between your legs and over your flower, and if it scratches your pussy, if it does. Does it feel good?

After my idea of the sparkles felt good, and my cock was stirring, just a little. My eyes look once again down your beautiful body, I want naughty, sexy, play sex, every way possible. I’m slowly looking over your hips, down your thighs, calf’s and feet. I want to please every inch of your incredible body. Make you cum, over and over. I hear my name, “jim, jim, where’s your mind”. Oh? Sorry! I was in a deep thought and I fazed a bit.

I look innocently at you and, smile. You look at me, “yea sure” you exclaim. You give a quick look down towards my crotch. No doubt I have a hard on. You don’t say anything about it, but I’m sure you noticed.

I try focus back on our conversation as my thought go back to studying your body as we talk. You move around a little and as you do, I notice your thighs rubbing together as you move, and I start wondering what would you say, if I walk over to you now, with my hard cock bounces in my shorts, slip my hand in between your creamy thighs and left them there as we continued our conversation. My imagination kept getting into my detail of how that would feel, as my hand slid higher up your thighs.

Now my cock is full on hard and you stop talking, as I see your eyes focused on my shorts and the hard shaft hiding in the loose material and not confining giving the freedom my cock needs.

You then ask me what I was thinking about as you point out my hard cock with a look.

I tell you that I’m thinking about how sexy you are and how I want to be touching you.

“Describe what your thinking,” you look at me daring to to refuse. I start to explain what I would do right now if I could. “I have two conditions, you can’t fuck me, and you can’t touch me unless I say so, You can only look and tell what you’d r do. That’s all!” Yes ma’am, I say with a smile.

I look at you and smile, ok! I can do that. To which you move to get yourself more comfortable. As you do, you open your legs a little, and I can see that your upper thighs are a little shiny wet. Not sure if from sweat or if your as horny as I am. I lean back in my chair and cross my feet in front of me, allowing my hard cock to stand erect and hidden only by the loose material of my shorts. You look over at my man hood and smile. Softly you tell me that I’m so fucking sexy right now. You ask me to continue with my fantasy.

I look unashamed as I study your sexy body saying out loud that would I like to lick your incredible body from your toes to your nose. Exploring everywhere my licks will give you the most pleasure.

You exclaim; “oh! How would you do that?” As you seem to squirm and smile at me.

My cock is so hard now that it’s starting to hurt, begging to be touched and rubbed. I hold off the urge to touch my cock, I look down and noticed a little pre-cum seeping through the material of my shorts. I’m so sure you noticed it, your looking right at me, watching me.

I start to explain that I’d take right foot, raise it to my mouth and start by; “Sucking and licking your toes, focusing kisses on each one. As I do, I’ll be rubbing the soul of your foot. with my thumbs, working out any stress.

As I explain my vision, you move so that each of your legs are hanging over the edge of the hammock. “ now as your thighs are apart exposing the material of your suit covering your flower, the glistening wetness between your thighs, has my attention. My cock twitches as I focus on your wet thighs, as well as the material that just hiding your pussy.” I’ll explore you. “To my self, i think; I want to taste that pussy right now.”

My cock twitches again with eager anticipation and longing to be touched. (Fuck my cock is getting really hard that it’s hurts!) I focus again, on my story of worshiping your feet. Just before I began, you suggest, “Go do what your describing.” So I moved over to your feet, my cock sticking out in front like a pole and the end bobbing about. (Not dignified.)

I stand next to the hammock and I take your furthest foot (left)into my hands and I gently kiss the big toe. Your other leg you have hanging over the hammock.

My left hand I’m holding your calf as you point your toes as I kiss each toe. I softly slide my hand down your calf, hold your leg for you. Your knee is bent, as I start sucking on your toes, by one.

I explain that; “Im looking towards you, your head is back, I’m move my gaze over your body. Taking a moment as I watch your breast lift and fall, with each breath.

My gaze then sinks to your exposed tummy to the waist band of the bottoms. I stop as stare at the camel toe thats now between your thighs.

I long to see what gift is hidden. To taste that treasure is all I need. Then I feel something touch my painfully hard cock, I look down and see your foot gently touching the material of my shorts. I close my eyes and the pleasure your touch releases a soft growl from deep within me.

I keep sucking and kissing your foot, my free hand stoped at the edge of your panties, Id move my finger tips along the hem of the leg, between your legs.

Slowly I’m pulling my hand, fingers like a rake, moving towards your knees again. I’ve been kissing and sucking on your toes all this while.” I keep explaining,” I want my hand to slide over your calf, and focus on the soul of you foot. “ As I massage the soul of your foot, your other foot is rubbing my cock (through the leg opening) as my cock gets harder, softly your foot moves over the soft silky flesh that’s is my cock.

Continuing the narrative; Kissing over your ankles, kissing every inch of flesh. I stop and kiss under your knee, and (I feel your other foot maneuver, so that that the shaft of cock is held between your big toe and the one next to it, like a V. You move you foot slowly up and down its length.

I’m using both hands in your thighs. I keep kissing your flesh as one hand moves to the edge of the material of your Bikini bottom. As it moves away the other hand does the same. But only the outer edge. (As I doing this, you slip your foot that’s playing with my cock, to under my testicles and your fondle then with your toes.)

I tell you that, “your so hot, sexy beautiful, your going to make me cum of you don’t stop what your doing.” you then placed your foot 🦶🏼 on top of my hard shaft, and you push your heal into my testicles, then you say; “can’t have that now can we. Please tell me more what your naughty mind is thinking as you lust for me.

I tell you my focus is between your legs, as my hand slides up and just touches the material that covering your pussy. (Your let out a soft moan, just as I touched your pussy.)

I tell you that your very hot there and damp. Then I push my finger into your pussy with the material. You let out a soft moan, tilt your hips up, and take a deep breath. I explain how wet you are, as my hand slides to your inner thigh and move down towards your knee, leaving a wet trail down your inner thighs.

Your foot starts moving over my cock, rubbing the shaft up and down, then you point your toe, and place your foot between my legs, you lift your leg onto my crotch. You look at me, then say to me very slurs and commanding; “make me cum now, or I’ll kick your nuts!” As you wiggle my balls with your toes.

I smile and say; “yes ma’am!” I move my hand towards upper thigh, my fingers just touching the hem of your panties, I bring my other hand over your hips, and I start using the my thumbs from both hands on you upper inner thighs. Tracing the edge of the material. You spread your legs a little more, and your foot starts tapping my balls. You tell me to; “hurry up or I’ll kick harder!” You say with a school girl tone.

I continue: I move both thumbs over your covered pussy, and I slowly press down as I make small circles with both thumbs, (you moan louder as I push deeper into your body.)

Your foot is sliding back and forth over my balls. “My god,” I yell out, “your foot feels so good there”. I start to hump your foot, you move your foot up tight into my balls. “Not yet daddy!” You tease.

My thumbs open your pussy wider, (like an opening flower, pink, wet, and still covered with the martial of your bottoms. I move it aside and “there’s my girl!” I exclaim out loud to you. “Hello my precious!” I lean in and softly kiss the pink nub.

Your foot then changes position, and your using your toes to tickle my balls and start sliding up and down the shaft.

I start softly licking your clit. Circling over and over, (your smell consumes me to a madding lust, my cock being teased by your toes, almost bring me to cum, several times, to be denied. Now your sent as a woman, is over powering me, I want more. My tongue; slips deep into you swollen, hot, wet, eager pussy. I stick my tongue as deep into as I can, I need to taste all of your pussy. I start tongue fucking your sweet pussy.

You stop rubbing my cock with your foot, your so into what I’m doing to your pussy, you are holding your foot out, toes pointed and tucked tightly into my crouch. I’m humping your foot as you keep pushing up. (Damn this feel great), then my tongue starts exploring the taste of each petal of your flower.

Your body starts to shake. As I go back to your clit, you grab my head, holding me in place, as I suck on your clit like I’m giving it a blowjob. You let out a load moan, as you push your toes into my testicles, and when I cum, my cream shots onto your tits, and I keep cuming over thighs, you start wiggling your toes as your leg lows.

“Wow!” You exclaim with a loud breath. “That’s was...wow”!

I look at your beautiful face, mine all covered with your cum, I walk towards you and start kissing you and rubbing my wet face over yours. Both laughing. And you look into my eyes. With a smile of contentment, you ask; “who are you?”

OFFAL HUNT REMASTERED LIVEBLOG // CHAPTER 17

IN THIS EPISODE OF CRYING CAT GALLERY:

“Nice?” Cinder laughed under her breath once, and returned to examining her threads. “Oh, come on, Glynda. Favor isn’t in my vocabulary, remember? It’s just a shame about your cape. The emblem looked good, and your new outfit would look much better with it. That’s all.”

CINDER FALL IS REALLY BAD AT NOT BEING GAY ON MAIN

we’re bacc baby B) let’s hop right in

When Glynda awoke from her dream of being consumed,

alright calm down we’ve literally JUST started we’ve literally JUST woken up can we chill Out,

“Cinder?” she yawned, surveying the room.

sneak peek of that Sweet Domestic Life we dream of once this enemies-to-lovers malarkey reaches the ‘lovers’ bit but no we’re just surrounded by enemies. two of them being the writers!

Still, she couldn’t go wandering around Cinder’s apartment in only her underwear, but rooting through the drawers and closet didn’t seem—

STEAL HER CLOTHES BABY!!!! PRACTICALLY MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The clothes didn’t seem Cinder’s size or style; they were casual and soft, a black t-shirt and steel-gray sweatpants.

okay but the idea of cinder getting up and being like ‘do i have ANYTHING this Unit of a woman will fit into’ and like actually having to think abt it and then folding em up and leaving em there like ‘hope she finds em okay’????? peak. absolutely peak. shes so gay but does she know it? no,

The fabric had enough give to make it work, even if only barely, and she looked in the mirror to see the loungewear looking more like tight athletic wear. Funny that.

kc and diesel envisioning this: oh yes. oh YES. ohhohughohguhghuhu yessssssssss--

She had—trusted? Been trusted? She had told Cinder fragile little things, and had heard similarly earnest words in return. It had been strange. Nice.

i love glynda like. feeling out of the edges of her own comfort and Pleasant Feelings with this almost-wariness? like every word she uses to describe it just Edges a little closer to Softness but she has to taste the word first to see if it fits. her narration is SO fun 2 read yall what the shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

This was Cinder’s house. It wasn’t just any house. These were Cinder’s belongings, Cinder’s resting places, and she was wandering around without Cinder.

Voyeuristic was putting it mildly. Glynda needed to find Cinder, fast.

HJGDKJGHDFSSDF GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! glynda just. losing it at such LITTLE THINGS is so goddamn funny jesus christ. this is cinders house!!! her THINGS!!! fuck she NAPS IN HERE. SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

god i love how soft this is. i know exactly why this is happening and i know exactly how [REDACTED], but i’m living for this moment. living IN it.

Spread out on the table was a wanted poster with a mugshot of Cinder on it, defaced with black permanent marker and crease marks.

cinder: yeah they didnt get the eyebrows sharp enough and im mad abt it

“Well, your clothes are in the wash.” Cinder said, turning around, coffee in hand. It was so…domestic. “It would help if you had more than one set.”

shouting from a distance: you two should get MARRIED

“You’ve been wearing the same dress the entire time I’ve known you.”

look at these lil JABS... the JESTS... the JOQUES... i cant believe theyve been married 10 years already. im also deeply enjoying how very indulgent this section is. I Am Seeing,

Glynda scoffed, and when Cinder reached for the sugar on the counter, she gave it a subtle nudge with her Semblance. It slid out of Cinder’s reach.

JESUS CHRIST LOOK AT THIS WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! soulmates.

Cinder shrugged, still looking elsewhere. “Mercury thought it was funny.”

“Mercury?”

cinder: my son and BOY. and, one day, yr son and boy, tho he won’t take it lying down.

Cinder scoffed. “You just don’t appreciate my good tastes.”

i feel like the evidence is truly stacking up to very much prove this statement wrong but u kno what lets let her figure that one out for herself

“A souvenir from the brats,” she said. “And a letter excusing the mess they made of the place.”

KIDS KIDS KIDS KIDS

She said, “I just didn’t know you had kids.”

KIDS KIDS KIDS KIDS KIDS

“It’s fine,” said Cinder tersely, but not harshly. “It isn’t wise to advertise in my business, so keep it to yourself.”

KIDS KIDS KIDS KIDS KIDS KIDS KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOD YES that little like... indirect admittance that em and merc r basically her own kids is a fucking BLESSING from ON HIGH are you SEEING THIS SHIT????????????? we have been fed today. my crops r watered and my lambs bouncing over the green fields as we feast. what a moment. wow. what a chapter.

When Cinder finally finished hers and rose to get another cup, Glynda allowed some of her thoughts to solidify. She said, “I want new clothes.”

as a side note, i think it rly shows the strength of the writing that the feeling of the narrative can change so much, esp when u take into consideration that we jump between the points of view of TWO characters? like with cinder we’ve gone from sheer fury to gruesome sickness, and with glynda we’ve gone from Complete Dissociation to this gentle and soft morning and you can feel it absolutely fluffing up in every word! still love how good the writing in this fic is its NUTS

Cinder shrugged. Her usual clothes were still in the wash; right now, she was wearing high-waisted black pants and a loose top tucked in.

diesel i want you to know im thinking abt what u said abt the high-waisted pants mods in sims 4 and im giggling

The necklace with Glynda’s earring hung from her throat.

i didnt mention it before but this is the... second time this chapter its been explicitly mentioned? and i know we could be like ‘ah the MEANING’ but honestly im like glynda r u rly not over the bobbies y

“You aren’t dead in there, are you?” came Cinder’s voice.

“No.”

“Well. At this pace, I will be before we get out of here.”

cinder, who probably once spent 7+ hours choosing an outfit: look its only cool if i do it, dipshit,

Unsnapping the lone earring left to her, she brought it to her collar and fixed it there, under the clasped button to dangle just over her sternum.

When she stepped out of the changing room, Cinder looked up. A slow dawn of interest eclipsed the boredom on her face. Glynda stood very still as her gaze flowed up and down again, pausing over the earring.

Cinder touched the matching one hanging from her own neck, almost in surprise. She cleared her throat. Her tone was very deliberately mocking: “Cute.”

OOOOOOOOOOOH MY GOD are we for SERIOUS right now??? jesus christ. jesus christ. we’ve moved on past married now this is ride-or-die shit right here what the FUCK. jesus CHRIST. theres- i- i have THOUGHTS on this matter that are spoilery and so i will SIT ON THIS EGG but HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT

“Nothing,” Cinder said, smoothing her expression into something unreadable. “I was just thinking—nevermind.”

no, no, go on, speak yr mind, please do, because if u were abt to offer to embroider that shit then PLEASE say it aloud for the audience at home

“If I was a cop, you’d already be in jail.”

“You’re welcome to try to take me in, darling.”

im sure its obvious but im BESIDE myself @ this flirting. im losing it. this is SUCH a treat and i KNOW that [REDACTED] [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] but AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

“That’s because of your—” Cinder was already gone. Glynda pressed her lips together, but watched her go. Rolling her eyes, she finished, “—Grimm tattoos.”

Whatever. She could gloat about figuring it out later.

/CHOKES

WHAT

@kc and diesel: CALL ME RIGHT NOW WHAT THE FUCK

okay okay. wait. okay. wait. theres. wait. okay. i cant. am i safe to say anything. probably not. so. im not gonna. but. you WILL be seeing me in dms, friends,

okay okay im moving on im gonna. keep going. okay. okay. im going. (but i will be in dms)

there was a brief discussion of dinner: namely, that neither of them wanted to make it.

oh god why is this me

“Give me your new cape.”

“What?”

Finally looking up, Cinder said, “Your cape. Let me have it, and I’ll put your emblem on it.”

THANK YOU MA’AM AND THANK YOU FOR READING THE FIC HAS ENDED ITS ALL OVER WITH!!!!!! WE DID IT!!!!!!! WE RODE THIS WHOLE TRAIN TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!!! UNFORTUNATELY IF ONLY IT WERE SO EASY.

Glynda ignored it for the time being and sent the vector of her emblem to Cinder.

i deeply love the idea of all hunters and huntresses carrying a vector of their emblem JUST IN CASE,,, SMTHNG HAPPENS,,, its right alongside the list of their next of kin and their will and testament,

Cinder Fall was a name built on Dust and money and extravagant demonstrations.

But Cinder Fall was also a woman with a family. A home. A favorite blend of coffee.

this is absolutely kicking me in the dick for reasons i cant say but also for reasons of SNOFT because oh my god. this is. like. this is why i rly vibe w. cinder in this fic and is also like one of my favourite characterisations of cinder of ALL TIME (which is why all my fav cinder fics typically have it as a Theme). shes SO good and SO dimensional and i just. god. GOD. i LOVE HER!!!!!!!!! ID DIE FOR HER!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA CINDER FALL IS MY ANGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL

It felt like being told a secret, like being told a thousand secrets, and not knowing what to do with them. All she could do was hold them in her palms, delicate as she could, trying not to break anything.

GIMME ARMS TO PRAY WITH INSTEAD OF ONES THAT HOLD TOO TIGHTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! /goes apeshit

And because of that, Glynda asked, “Do you have any more stories?”

Without looking up, Cinder drawled, “About Witches?”

“Or dragons.”

Gold flickered her way.

👈😳👈

“They’d already been built by the Witches that came before her,” Cinder replied. “But she’d been a headmaster at one of them, and a teacher before that.”

Something in Glynda’s chest gleamed.

lore lore lore lore LORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lets GET THAT LORE as i peer blearily thru tears,

“...You haven’t just been pretending not to remember things, have you?”

firstly: called out lmao JHGSDFKJHGFSD and SECONDLY:

“The moon?” Cinder made a face. “I’m not sure if it’s that literal. Your soul is powerful, but it’s not a physical thing. Besides, the moon is…”

“Broken,” Glynda finished for her.

“Yeah.”

hm what a fascinating thing hm how interesting hm hm HMMMM 👈🤔👈

Even as they ate, they both seemed lost in their own heads, but somehow, to Glynda, it seemed perfectly clear that both of them were wondering the same thing.

wait glynda. hey glynda. did u uh. ever. did u uh. text winter back or w

WE DID IT CHAPTER 17!!!!!!!!!!! this was a Lot (4,500 words? yall better be careful before those 10k chapters return to Haunt Us) and was also, a Lot. holy shit. theres. i. id make a spoiler edition but tbh its just the SAME SPOILER thats like. rly driving this chapter. i know what its for. i know it. i feel it. dont trust winter more like dont trust the writers

ANYWAY I LOOK FORWARD (?) EAGERLY (???) to chapter 18, unsure when the vibes will turn rancid for the worse. when. honey. theres a big storm coming.

Ok i finished the epilogue and, hm,

Let’s, go in stages here, I’m not here to be a literary genius but just write down what stood out to me because i read this whole fuckin thing and gotta gab about it. For the record I read Candy then Meat.

Uh, poor Jake? Fucking everyones got an iron in the fire for him, and he knows it but his own self loathing leads him to get mixed up in all these fuckin awful situations. Him being abused by Jane was horrific, and him being turned into a puppet by Ultimate Dirk was horrific. Also, poor Tavros, my soul was hurting when John tried to rescue him..

The Candy route was completely disturbing batshit. Even after all their talk of “what’s real” it kind of just.. Maybe seemed that they had only become resigned to their trickster-esque fates. Thanks for that one, Alt-Calliope... (I still love u tho). Gamzee was a laugh and so extremely disturbing.. The fucking MILK. I do NOT want to know where that shit came from. Oh god.

Watching two overpowered awful forces argue about “Their turn on the Xbox” was pretty funny, if unsettling in every single way. It seems the poor characters escaped the whims of Skaia only to become pieces for two desperate fanfictioners.. I want them to be Free, but I guess the only way they could is to escape the eye of the audience :/. Is it weird this reminds me of Undertale, where you had to stop playing for the characters to be happy? Undertale did it better, blease reassure me everyone’s gonna be ok if you’re going in that angle!! I want to see them Actually be happy!!

Ah yes, lest we forget to also say “Poor John”. I’m so sad he was delegated as the most convenient puppet to Calliope and Dirk. He could almost see through it in both routes... Probably moreso in the Candy route what with all that well-earned angst about his life feeling empty.

Hmm ok now Calliope. They were both so good.. Calliope’s loneliness in the candy route broke my got dang heart. And while I want to see Alt-Calliope get taken down every notch possible I did love them here too. I live for all the cherub shit man. Hell yeah I’m happy to see I’m still right about ‘benevolent’ cherubim being really fucked up by human standards. Also that Alt-Calliope still got in childish fights with Dirk despite the image they try to maintain is fucking hilarious.

I think we can all sit down and have a good “hey jade learn some boundaries please”, then say “im so glad davekat is canon, whether this includes jade or not”. Well that’s me at least. I’d say to attribute much of hte pushiness in the Candy route to Alt-Calliope’s fanfiction desires but that’s defintely a worthy yet sizeable rabbit hole to go so, let’s leave it at that lmao.

I miss ‘our’ Dirk, who was so afraid of turning into his other selves, only to be consumed by his Ultimate Self. He’s lost in a sauce of awful. Also looks like Jane didn’t escape her childhood brainwashing.. :(

Damn what else. The Candy shit was nuts but the jokes in it were fucking prime. Vriska becoming (Vriska), the FUCKING 4CHORDS REFERENCE, and OBAMA. GOD. THANK U FOR THE COMEDY GOLD. The little things in the Meat route, like Jade and Dave using their godtier powers to fuck with each other was also so good.

Sooo I guess the biggest thing here is, ID REALLY LIKE FOR THEM TO EXPAND ON THE FIGHTS BEING FOUGHT HERE. There’s gonna be some kind of trans-narrative-universe showdown between Alt!Calliope and LE, and Everyone vs Ultimate Dirk? I want to fucking see it! Don’t leave us hanging man I’ve already spent 3 years hanging on to hope for an epilogue. And I wouldn’t really Call this an Epilogue proper due to it. MAYBE if we’re lucky we’ll get a few more chapters tying these two universes together properly, but. We all know how it be.

In conclusion, I think it’s all pretty neat and interesting, but not really satisfying.. There was that thing that was said, about how hussie ‘used meat and candy together’ when writing the comic proper, so maybe we have a chance in hell of getting a conclusion? But I’m not gonna hope too hard here.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gossip Girl and friends have been planning this for months, playing at "anonymous insider" on the Youbemom forum to set up the whole "tea party" in advance. How convenient that Gossip Girl stumbled across this "gold mine" of information? None of it is verifiable of course. It's the same shit that the septics say on their blogs, practically word for word.

I particularly loved the "I'm not posting the link so the OP won't be harassed by nans" crap. That pretty much tells me this is crap. Because yes, Hator is going to give us another tea party. I wonder If she'll manage to out do the last one? For those of you who don't know what this is about: an anon on Hator sent supposed threads from an unknown chat room that happens to confirm the haters narrative. It's not screencaps, it's cut and paste. And there's no link to said forum, so we don't know where it came from. I have a feeling Aeltri took some time out of her busy day to make this crap up. I'm on mobile so I had to cut paste it but prepapre yourself from some epic BS. (By the way, this is just a small part of it):"I think I found one of Enty’s sources, and surprise! It’s not you! It’s a site that allows people to post anonymously about…things. You can find all kinds of gossip and other things on it!Just this month a person in the industry was dreading having to work with Cumberbatch again. She likes him generally, but she HATES his “wife.” She worked with them before in New York. This industry person repeatedly talks about how Sophie behaves, and hoo boy! This stuff is gossip gold!I want to cut and paste this whole lot! It’s just a fricken treasure trove! Where to begin?!Well, this is the first post I found. It was from the beginning of this month. I mean, just reading it, at first you don’t know who this is talking about, at all. It’s just an industry person talking about somebody’s wife who is just awful. And then - MIC DROP!I’ve talked about this before. I work in the movies, and I have to do some work on something ive mentioned here before, and im dreading it because the wife of one of the actors is likely going to be hanging around and she is a fucking nutcase. its so bad i may have to talk to superiors about it getting in the way of me doing my job.posted September 2nd, 2018 at 12:58pmcareful. if the actor is a hot commodity and she comes with th territory you might be expendable 9-2-2018 12:59pmOp- I’m not 9-2-2018 1:01pmyou cant really say its her or me. so you have to come up wiht some alternate scenario and see if you can get this handled 9-2-2018 1:01pmOp. Obviously I can’t say her or me, but there have been a few times people’s behavior has got in the way of a production. I just hate saying anything, it’s so rare but she is a nut 9-2-2018 1:03pmi know what its like to have to work with crazy or untrustworthy or distracting people. it is a tightrope at times 9-2-2018 1:03pmOp- her husband used to be a nice guy but now he is weirdly lying like her about random shit. It’s such a weird situation 9-2-2018 1:04pmbuy good noise cancelling headphones lol 9-2-2018 1:05pmAddiction of some kind 9-2-2018 1:06pmOp I’ve suspected some sort of severe mental illness 9-2-2018 1:06pmAlcoholism can look like severe mental illness. Gl op! Ignore her 9-2-2018 1:07pm"
