I love fanfiction because what do you mean I'm crying over a polytrix fic that is also using a song from the shrek 2 soundtrack

I'm a little obsessed with Seth's transition from

To this:

Over the course of a year, pretty much...

His character work really blows my mind!

Ficlet for You!

(This started as a headcanon and then grew. I hope your day has gotten better 💜)

Squalo is an unwilling fan of Lussuria’s telenovellas, soap operas, k-dramas, what have you. And he hates it. Mostly he’s confused by the stories, often he’s annoyed, but occasionally he’s intrigued. What he hates is that he’s been caught in this net at all, and he’s not entirely sure how the hell it happened.

He and Luss had been on a mission together - a couple of overnights and a lot of driving. The first day, he caught Lussuria entranced by the television screen and sniveling piteously. Without a single shred of remorse at interrupting this colossal waste of time, he kicked Luss off the bed, and told him to hurry up, it was time to go.

Luss was still dabbing at tears under his glasses by the time they were both in the car. Squalo flexed his fingers on the steering wheel, put the car in gear, and considered ignoring his colleague's… everything. But he didn’t. Maybe he should have, but damn him he didn’t. He went ahead and asked.

“What the hell has gotten into you?”

“Oh, Squ! It’s this drama I’ve been following, and it’s gotten So. Good.”

“…drama.”

Much to Squalo’s dismay, Luss blithely ignored the clear, scathing undertones of his response. “Mmmmhmmm! Let me tell you, this last episode was a doozy!” And tell him, he did. Lussuria was not one to let go of a chance to speak to a captive audience. It was a long drive, and it wasn’t like he had much else to do anyway, so Squalo listened with half an ear as Luss prattled on.

But somewhere along the way, Luss’s words began worming their way into his brain. Once there, Squalo’s analytical mind seized upon them, searching for patterns, meanings, and whatever the hell the damn plot was supposed to be.

“So let me get this straight. Carlos has got the inheritance-”

“You’d think so, but noooo.”

“WHAT?”

“Just wait, hunny bunny! This is where it gets really juicy~”

Squalo grumbled and glared at the road. He was sure he had figured it out, but he listened dutifully until the next bombshell hit.

“VOOII what do you mean Alicia isn’t Esmeralda’s baby?! How does that even work?!”

“Breath, Squ-chan.”

“I am breathing! This is just stupid!”

“Do you want to know, or do you want to be mad about it.”

Squalo ground his teeth. “…I want to know.” He was so busy fuming that he missed Lussuria’s knowing smirk.

And that was that.

Squalo doesn’t know and refuses to look too deeply into how he got sucked into Lussuria’s idiotic dramas. What he does know is that he’d rather gnaw off his right hand than admit he needs to know what happens in the next episode.

BATS MY PRETTY EYES AT THE PIZZAPLEX SEASON 2 EPISODE 2

(BUT IN GENERLA THE WHOLE SERIES) FOR THEW LOVE OF EVERYTHING

PLEASE WATCH THAT

[paper-is-paper]

(Big Spoilers for DOTF)

Sooo I sat down and read the entirety of Daughter of a Thousand Faces over the course of a few days. Since the series is on indefinite hiatus, I wanted to note down some plot threads that have yet to be resolved or addressed in season 1.

This series has taken over my brain and I don't know what to do with all these thoughts swimming in my brain. (elaborated thoughts below the cut and are numbered)

What is Swallowtail? is he a demon? a cultivator? or maybe secret third option (butterfly maybe)?

Why is Swallowtail so protective of Yuhua to the point where he's been ensuring that any potential suitors have been having "accidents"?

Why did Chu Tian choose to save Yuhua? He could have let her die and then boom no more blood pact, he's free to do whatever he wants with no restrictions. (1)

What's the butterfly lady (Hong Yang) going to do with Yuhua's severed finger?

What happens to the Ox Lady (Qing Yu)? Will she join Chu Tian? or will this be a moment of growth for Chu Tian? (2)

What is up with Shen Yitian? (3) and what happened to the rest of the true cultivators?

What does Leng Feng being a dragon prince mean for the careful balance between our main cast? How will he react to the fact that Yuhua killed one of his older brothers and now wears his face upon impromptu fox demon?

What did Leng Feng want to asks Yuhua?

Will Yuhua and Chu Tian resolve their conflict after the death of the fox demon? (I feel like the answer to this is obvious)

What is the ichor that some of the demons have been drinking? Who is the "master" behind its distribution? Where are they getting it from? (4)

Who has been sending the creepy letters to the A-Qing, A-Ying, and Co.?

What will become of Kai's Grandma? and will she ever find out that the real Kai is dead?

What role does Shen Chun have in the future?

Have Yuling and Yuhua come to a mutual understanding or is their relationship still antagonistic?

What are the details of Yuhua's mother's crimes? How might they tie with other elements of the plot?

What does war with the Bull Clan mean for our motley crew?

How will everyone react to Chu Tian and Yuhua's relationship?

(1) In the behind the scenes in chapter 42, Velinxi mentions that whether Chu Tian cares about Yuhua is debatable. I personally lean heavily towards the explanation that he does care about Yuhua, but I also think it's not impossible that it's an act or that he keeps her alive and trains her for more long-term goals. Either way, I fully agree the guy is definitely a bad influence.

(2) Chu Tian is convinced that Qiao Yu will eventually call for him and maybe join him. My prediction is that something will happen to her village that will then make her turn to Chu Tian for help or out of desperation. The other (less likely) alternative is that Chu Tian is wrong and Qiao Yu's continued rejection of him till her death shakes him so much that it sparks a growth in character growth for him. I also think that it could be a mix of both.

(3) This guy is hella sus. As @canary0 points out:

"...[Yuhua's] dad has to know, right? He knew what the only thing down there was. He had to have known what the only thing down there was. He had to have known what the only way to get back up and out would be."

I think that Shen Yitian is embodying the phrase "keep your friends close but your enemies closer" by asking Yuhua to stay closer to the family when she emerges from the well at the beginning of the series.

(4) I have a few ideas about this ichor, and I think it's related to Chu Tian in one way or another. It's the wrong color to be just Chu Tian's blood because his is red, but the glowing yellow eyes with slit pupils is a little too much of a coincidence to not be a deliberate creative choice.

Okay I have a lot more to talk about, but I want to cut this one off here otherwise we will be here forever. Please add some more questions if I missed anything, I absolutely adore this series and I can't wait to see a continuation of this story. In the meantime, I can chew on the mysteries of season 1.

Hey. Remember how fitz could never fit into non-witted society because of his wit but could also never fit into old blood communities so he stayed apart from both of them in favour being bonded with nighteyes as they were. Remember how nighteyes gave up being in a wolf pack because his real pack was with fitz. Remember how fitz chose the fool his bond with the fool over everything. Remember how the fool said he didnt want fitz to choose him over that life the fool saw in his visions. Remeber how he explicitly compared it to nighteyes having to choose between the wolf pack and fitz. Remember how IMMIDIETLY after the fool broke the bond fitz also started questioning his bond with nighteyes and distancing himself from the wolf.
