Spectres’ Fulcrum

(I'm also barely playing except to check shops tbh but like...)

Honestly I was grinning so much. Khun Thee, always the overdramatic drama king. I wouldn't trade him for the entire world. But also super proud of him noticing that Peach missed being a photographer and encouraging him to take the restaurant job. You got a tiny bit of a grip, Kian.

(You really want me to think Peach didn't take his camera everywhere they went on vacation and photograph their memories, though, really? Really, GMMTV?)

I am kinda disappointed Rome and Mok got together during the timeskip but their kisses! The way they love each other! Honestly waiting for RomeMok to get together has been keeping me going since like. Ep 5. (I need fanfics about Mok sneaking into Rome's room though)

(Also my favorite small moment was Marn and Mork running up to Rome the second he walked in and him wrapping an arm around both of them. We know he doesn't go to Thailand often but they so very clearly have bonded in what little time is allowed/Facetime. Marn and Mork deserves their 2 uncles and Auntie Plub of course)

Tawan and Aran... A lot have changed. Still weary and I get why Aran is worried to start dating again, but they were cute all smiley.

The actual plot... Interesting. I wonder if the line from the trailer about Rome taking over only if Thee is dead or incapacitated happened during the meeting from Rome's reacting(But not Thee's) or if we'll get that later on. But I definitely wonder now if Thee drowning Rome is him preparing Rome to step into a role Rome was never intended to take(At least Mok was prepped to be the leader's right hand man).

The quiet and soft bedtime talk with Thee and Peach after the meeting was a huge highlight. Their healthy communication is one of my favorite parts of MAT.

Then why the fuck do Vegas and Porsche not know each other? Even if Porsche changed to a cheaper school at 12 after his parents died, that’s still 7 years where they could’ve been in the same class or known each other. Even if they had no mutual friends.

Was their international school just that big they never knew each other’s names? Never ended up in the same class for seven years? Did they both have horrible memories? There was 50-60 people about in my grade in elementary school and I know I would recognize every or almost every single name I went to school with for a good chunk/all of those years. We were spread out via two classes and did a TON as a big group.

I stand corrected in my post yesterday. Apparently in novel verse, Vegas and Pete have known each other since childhood! I thought they didn't because Vegas didn't know where Pete grew up and it was only mentioned that Korn took his sons to visit Pete's island on business and they became close with Pete and his family, but apparently Pete, Kinn, and Vegas(at least) all played together at some point in childhood.

The major family probably hosted the Saengtham family in Bangkok(With the minor family attending dinner or smth) once or twice when the kids were young enough that the cousins ran around together and caused trouble. I'm think like in the 9-11 range or smth. Vegas probably didn't care where the guests came from, just knew of course the cute Southern boy liked his cousins(and not him)(By now Tankhun and Kim has complained a ton about Vegas to Pete and at this point, Pete's just a holiday friend so he has no reason not to be dubious).

Honestly, it's kind of cute to imagine Pete and Vegas knowing each vaguely other as kids, and it's mentioned that the kids all grew apart a bit as teens because life got busy and Korn didn't visit as often so them meeting again in their late teens with Pete as a major clan bodyguard. We need more childhood acquaintances to adult lovers fics.

I missed this bit in my first listen but in the novel verse does this imply the Theerapanyakul family have known Pete since childhood? Definitely at least his grandma, but it says families.

Definitely gives context to why Tankhun gives Pete such a grand funeral. Tankhun is also super close with Pete's grandparents. Like they go so far back.

Honestly, I really like this bit of lore and hate myself for not catching it the first time(I just wanted to be back with Vegas and Pete ngl). Definitely strengthens my headcanon that once Vegas and Pete starts dating Kinn and Khun insists Pete use Phi with them because he's officially family now.

(Now I'm thinking of Gun and Vegas tagging along once and Vegas seeing Pete for the very first time when they were young even if that breaks canon)

I have to clean my room and do laundry tomorrow because Friday I'm probably going to be glued to Swiftie internet(Even if I know I /shouldn't/ and people probably won't post until Saturday) and trying to distract myself and I need a weekend to relax after two weekends of traveling. I'll probably have to do one small load Sunday but whatever.

But also I NEED to do work clothes for Weds + Thurs

Saved one of the best groups for last(Joking I love them all but these guys have a special place in my heart): I added the Jedi Apprentice crew as I think of them to my Tomodachi Life Island.

Left to right: Garen, Reeft, Bant, Siri, Obi-Wan, Xanatos, Tahl, and Qui-Gon(He looked too weird if I gave him facial hair forgive me)

I don't know if I'm keeping them all in robes some of them will probably end up in modern clothe(Garen is in an orange firesuit because he was also a starfighter pilot) but it looks good. Tahl does have a braid ala her comic look it's just an odd position and Qui-Gon has his half ponytail. Not thrilled with Obi-Wan's hair. Wanted to find something similar to his TPM hair but this is what I decided on while on a medium length car ride where I wasn't as settled as I should've been(Like just under 3 hours. So not /long/ but still a decent way. Might play around with it later.

Also yes Xanatos and Obi-Wan are set to fall in love.

If Xan and Qui-Gon ever fight I may let them stay as ex-friends tbh. And blame Qui-Gon. Always blame Qui-Gon(I love him but I don't like him)

Rome and Mok seem to be in for an interesting time. I really hope they get together this time around.

Plub gets a girlfriend! I'm so excited for her!

And Kian is still the biggest drama king and I love him to death for it(and so does Peach).

My faves <3

And July 11th! That's so soon! But also I know I rewatched the first couple episodes of MAT before getting pulled into a book series and reading and writing fanfic for a ship so I abandoned the rewatch so I should probably rewatch the other episodes. I know I saw the episode where Peach sends Aran to dinner with Thee... I'll figure it out...

I did not plan for this. I did not prepare for this. I need time to get my excitement out before bedtime

Think of it this way Bre: New RomeMok and TheePeach and Plub content when you wake up. The sooner you sleep the sooner you can wake up and see the characters again.
