allow me to ruin the beautiful atmosphere of this domestic audio with the thought: David's reassurance/comforting words that nothing will get or harm Angel as long as he's there, gives me this subtle (and growing) paranoia that something will happen and he's not there to protect them
Waiting for James' HBW/HBS, Day 2: I have a headcanon that James has a praising kink but in a teasing way, like leaning on degrading.
As long as he has a green signal, he'd overstimulate his partner and say things like, "Want me to stop? No? Don't worry your pretty little head baby, I'll give you more. Nothing wrong with wanting to feel so good you can't even think clearly. Hell, I don't think you can understand what I'm saying. That's fine. Just focus on me and the pleasure." That just makes them feel even better, the pleasure has skyrocketed. Having done this before and multiple times, they know how to make each other feel good. So imagine him hitting their weak spots that make their brain go haywire but still able to hear his voice, and oh how much they love his voice. Which leads me to my second headcanon: James' partner loves it when he talks dirty.
leaving it here before i end up writing my second smut of the month
my initial reaction to the newest summit audio ("the game"): William, you son of a bitch. it's funny that my guesses on the previous audio are both right and wrong on certain details
Something bad is going to happen soon, something similar to the Inversion but worse. Riri, how can you say that? We just had HBS '23, David's sleep audio mentioned how things are going well, and a new character! Hush, my dear child and allow me explain (hehe get it, hush cuz y'know wink wonk)
Warning: DON'T CONTINUE READING if you haven't listened to Carpe Deus (Vega's Playlist), Sovereign State S1 (Avior's Playlist), The Balance Series, Inversion Series, Project Meridian Series, and both Imperium Series
Warning 2.0: The following statements are guesses that I have and put together from the lore and information we have about the Redactedverse. You have the freedom to agree or disagree. Corrections for misunderstood information or lore are welcome!
Vega mentioned Quinn's relation with Closeknit, and where is Quinn now? In DUMP's custody. I know I'm not the only one who thought his capture went too easy.
The mentions of how several characters have been practicing and/or improving their healing magic
Everything feels like the calm before the storm, something I felt when I listened to the audios prior to the Inversion. TBH my main proof is the Shaw Pack going on a trip LMAO,, It's a sort of deja vu where the situations are similar to the ones before Inversion. The trip, and the mention of security jobs (yes, even the supposedly domestic fluff and romantic audio had me thinking that every thing is a crumb that'll lead to the big thing). But in connection to the previous bullet, there's a reason that information was mentioned in multiple audios, specifically David's audio of planning for the double wedding and Milo's audio of Sweetheart healing him after a hike accident. And I have been so paranoid at the thought of Erik planting these crumbs.
Elliot goes to Aaron for help. There's no doubt these two, along with Smartass, are going to cook up a plan to save Sunshine. And with how Sam regarded the Shaw Security being a staple in Dahlia, my freaking brain exploded at the realization that this might be how Shaw Pack (and possibly House of Solaire) gets tied in with the whole Closeknit and Sovereigns thing
Also, how the hell are they going to help E'laetum and Min'Ara? The gangs are going to get together with the Deathwalkers and then what??
There's also the case of the Prima that E'laetum and Min'Ara mentioned. At first, I thought the Prima is N'Dellex (Sovereign that created Dreamwalkers) but I remembered Deathwalkers are Serenity Daemons with a different name and purpose. So, the next best thing was A'Xerahn because of the effort he had put in the experiments he had done with humans that resulted in Vampires and Seers (who knows what else he created and assuming A'Xerahn is the 'He' that E'laetum and Min'Ara mentioned. )
ALSO! Thanks to the new information from the 3rd Anniversary stream that revealed the connection of Vampires and Seers, A'Xerahn might have an influence on Blake's visions of Bestie's death. Following that and the assumption of A'Xerahn being the Prima, it looks like the imprisoned Sovereigns can feel E'laetum and Min'Ara weakening and will break out if the opportunity rises. And Blake is playing a part for that to happen.
Questions:
How does Avior and Starlight come in with the information they have? Would they go to DUMP and tell them what they know?
Where does Vega go from here? Ask for Warden's assistance by looking into DUMP's files?
Additional stuffs I thought while making this:
I expect to see interactions between Vega + Warden and Avior + Starlight, but what if Vega learned about Blake's goal with the Sovereigns? Though I doubt Vega would form an alliance with Blake, knowing the connection of the latter with Closeknit, it can still happen now that we know that Blake doesn't care about Closeknit.
This has nothing to do with the Sovereigns and Meridian but what if we get a flashback audio featuring Gabe? This is definitely delulu Riri but I keep thinking about him and the mention of his specialty being Chili being another crumb that Erik left for a future audio
This is from my comment on Vega's audio: We all expect Vega to betray Warden, but what about Warden betraying Vega?
i feel like i squeezed my brain for this one XD part 2 if i think of anything else or new lore comes out :>
thoughts on new summit audio. don't read if you don't want to be spoiled
Going straight to the point on this one, I doubt that William knew that someone like the King of House Bennett was going to die. It was William who gave the responsibility of leading the Summit to Vincent. It was William who invited the Shaw Pack to attend. But I don't think he wouldn't put important people like Vincent and Lovely, and the Shaw Pack in a situation that would put them in danger. If we can truly take Porter's word as the truth, then William's intentions and plans were to only bring their attention on the information he and Porter knows while gathering concrete evidence. A casualty was expected, that's why Porter was ready to push Sweetheart away from the scene, to initiate a "fight" with Vincent. He knew where everyone was and in a way, that lessened the chances of anyone of the Solaire and Shaw side to be that casualty or to be suspected. For now, I think William's plan is to play cat and mouse with whoever else is connected with Closeknit.
What about the murder weapon? The main thing I focused on was the properties of it. I don't know if I understood it correctly but from what I did get is that a d(a)emon is close enough for it to work. Anyone from these Houses could've gotten it, except for Shaw and that's not because I'm biased; David didn't even know about it till now. But evidence points to Closeknit who, despite them openly admitting that they despise d(a)emons, has a d(a)emon in their basement. I'm surprised that a number of Vampires are aware of that and the Bennett's support to Closeknit that Baz connected these evidences to Christopher.
But the question still isn't answered. Because I don't think it was just Christopher who was responsible for the death of the King of their House. Just as William is smart to avoid attending the Summit, I may be giving him too much credit for this but I don't think Christopher is dumb enough to kill someone with so many watching eyes. There's the exception of acting on impulse but I stand with what I said. But why would whoever Christopher's "ally" let him get executed? The power vacuum in House Bennett. And that fact that Christopher may not be the best candidate to be the next to lead their house.
The idea that a few empowered Closeknit members are in that place with everyone scares me. Sure, we've got old blood turned vamps and shifter wolves to match strength and speed. But we have no idea what Closeknit can do. If they have d(a)emon blood knife that can kill old blood turned vamps, the situation is more dangerous than what William might've predicted.
here to ruin a nice thing because i'm overthinking things again: what if David's audio is hinting on what's going to happen in the future?
"[...]lull you into a sense of normalcy[...]before shit starts hitting the fan. That way, when it is time, it hits harder."
So far, we've been getting "domestic" kind of audios with the boys. Avior and Starlight's are an exception because it happened during Inversion. As well as Vega, Brachium, and Project Meridian, given that the storyline of these are circling the lore. We can take the audios related or mentioning the Summit that's happening to be the build up that David mentioned in the movie night edition audio.
Like, I'm telling you peeps. This gut feeling has been brewing since David's sleep aid audio and hot boi summer. Inversion did something to my paranoia
"The thing jumping on his face was not the most exciting thing that happens in the movie."
What did jump up on us recently? A vampire named Porter Solaire. Guess it would be a given that his reveal wouldn't be the most exciting part this October.
"I've got you. Come here. You're good. Nothing's gonna get you while I'm around"
Somebody get me those baby carrier that's strapped on a person because I'm not leaving his side anytime soon with the Summit coming. Already made a separate post about this here.
"[...]a xenomorph is not going to appear in this house and come after you. And even if it did, I'd win."
I just wanted to include this because I felt to happy, proud, and giddy at how self-assured David is about his strength and abilities. Like I kept replaying that part because after everything he's been through, it feels great to hear him talk about himself in good light. So damn, pop off Mr. David Shaw, Alpha of the Shaw Pack of Dahlia.
