I know this is a very sad flashback but like, it looks like the first thing he remembered about meeting D-16 was his ass

Okay please check out @myth-of-the-machine because the comic they're making over there is AMAZING

But the recent posts about Toodles got me thinking about a specific audio...

I literally giggle everytime I see him

Suddenly I'm the number one fan of Toodles /j

The implications of the only line being “gotta get back to Paimon” from the traveler means that if something happens to her his first instinct is immediate violence, in this case gun violence

There is only one thing I didn’t like about The Llama Incident. Milo pronounced llama in Spanish like “yama” which is how you would say call in spanish. Every time I heard him say llama in Spanish I cried a little inside. I can’t really blame them for not knowing though I guess. Other than that I loved the episode!

Sigh, hey did I tell you I am obsessed with the last guest and forsaken right now

Jez, Zara and Rose instantly became my favorite tlg characters and I have become obsessed with forsaken so i smashed them both together boom, noob trio forsaken au, I made Jez first since I have a clear idea for him, basically in this au their meetings in the guest prison were discovered early, Jez was murdered by his father, who discovered the three of them because of Rose (her “betrayal” happens early in this au), in this au Zara lives but her father dies, crash out of the century, perfect for a new killer you know.

I guess this is like, a version of Jez at his lowest, hence why he behaves differently from canon, and since Guest dies in part one, these two do not have a good first impression of each other, Guest thinks Jez hates him (and is racist I guess) like his father, and Jez thinks Guest hates him and that he deserves it, they eventually get along after the whole “my dad killed me thing”, to me Guest would one hundred percent take him and keep in contact with Rose and her mother after canon, but in this au they pretty much bond over their shared trauma of war, and, you know, the bacon general (derogatory)

Also I 100% accept asks and stuff twirls my hair

Soo, how did Jez's and Guest's relationship turn for them thinking the other hates them to Guest basically being Jez's new father?

It’s a bit funny actually, considering Guest died on part one, and Jez died before he could even meet Guest, these two do not have a good impression of each other.

Guest, knowing his last memory is of the general murdering his childhood best friend, would immediately not like Jez, but it’s more of a uncomfortable feeling and he is really conflicted, kind of just glaring at Jez from the distance, not knowing how to approach the situation, Guest is, after all, a traumatized individual.

For Jez, in this au, when he is forsaken, it’s his lowest point, doesn’t agree with their dad (bacon general) but there’s still, I wouldn’t call it affection, just, he is still his father in a way, I feel like the relationship between these two it’s very complicated, I also want to explore that more,think of that moral Orel style, Craig and Orel type of deal, this is a Jez that has been beaten up and thrown into the worst situation ever, so, in his mind, they totally deserve whatever Guest throws at him, and just, accepts it.

I had it in my mind that it would come slowly, little bits of conversations and incidents that would kind of put in doubt the perception these two have of each other, this all implodes when Zara is introduced, Jez being told that Rose “betrayed” them both, that his father destroyed her family, that he also killed their mother (Zara, in her vengeance spree finds about this one way or another), that if he’s getting in her way of revenge she won’t hesitate to bring them down, considering the two of them are, hm, 15 I think at some point it all crumbles down, for both Jez and Zara.

In Jez’s case, in his absolute rock bottom they would spill everything, his entire life, how he got here, etc, and that’s when it happens everything shifts, and they both bond yaayyy

I guess I really liked the collective agreement that Guest totally adopted Jez in like, canon and I smashed that together with this au, totally self indulgent

On a more lighter note, a lot of the au is basically this
