Oh it is so nice to hear something good about a mini-fridge. There was one in my dorm my first go at college and it was... less efficient than just hanging things out the window into the cold would have been; I made myself sick putting milk that had gone off into my tea several times...

ANYWAY yes good this is a wonderful observation! I love all the logistics of her (and other humans!) in the Demon Realm... and Luz has such a good support system, of course they’d set that up for her <3 I’m glad you had someone to set it up for you too!!

YES god she’s so good with kids and I love that so much. Now that she’s working with Lilith on the museum extension to the library, do you think she’ll do school tours~?

Even more than that-- what do you mean my real family you’re my real family too

also mama’s here for now until we make a new portal

oh geez i hope vee’s ok

God, yeah. What a rough position for the poor kid to be in-- and it hit extra hard when he said I know it’s just pretend! It really does have that feeling of a lonely kid, far away from anyone who’d really care about him. It’s like the mayor’s kid, or the child of a mafia boss, and everybody knows you’ve got to get on his good side but everyone’s terrified and can’t actually like the poor thing.

Yeah, there’s a lot of stuff we didn’t have time for-- I’m eternally mourning how Terrace apparently said they had plans to do a lot more with Darius and his friendship with Eber before the third season was cut. It hurts, but that’s what fic’s for, I guess.

And I’m honoured you thought of me <3 I do very much have some Dadrius Stuff in the pipeline of my brain~

That’s really sweet, I like that a lot! It’s also a nice contrast with Raine and Eda, who pretty clearly never fell out of love with each other. Make it new, rather than picking up from where they left off (which was pretty clearly not in a good place, for Darius and Al)

I mean, it’s not how it’s going in my foregone conclusion canon, in which Darius is definitely done with romance, but that continuity isn’t the be-all end-all for imagining post-canon even for me who wrote it lmao

God, it is, it’s so beautiful. He’s trying so hard to prick at her care, because he knows she’s a good and loving person, but he just can’t comprehend that someone can be both kind and smart enough not to fall for his bullshit.

I also really love how in his final speech there, he says not helping him would make her “just as unforgivable...” and you expect him to say “as I am”, because we know that comparing herself to him has been haunting her, but he can’t even bring himself to say that. He’ll never acknowledge that he’s in the wrong. He’s one of God’s Elect, he’ll never be in the wrong. It’s chilling and pathetic.

Ohhhh that’s lovely.

...whoops,

And they’d treat their baby sibling like such a ridiculous child for not appreciating it; “just because your favourite type of preservation is making dolls doesn’t mean it’s the only one, for something dangerous as a Titan a pinned skeleton is really the only way, you’ll understand when you’re older” while he’s sobbing over his friend....

Which is cute as hell! I still hate the look of loafers or sneakers without visible socks but oh well, FJ tattoo is worth it lol

I HEARD THAT’S SO FUCKING CUTE

It really has-- and that’s the primary reason I’m now pretty sure that’s what Manny died of. (there’s also the fact that my uncle died of brain cancer a couple years ago and now my aunt has the same kind and I’m terrified so it’s on my mind but.) There’s something really beautiful about Luz getting to save King’s dad’s body/memory/legacy from the cancer another human brought and became.

Same!! It’s also so nice to have a character who’s multigender/genderfluid; I love that we have agender rep and also that, you know? King and Queen, best of both things!

I love that she’s actually helping out with stuff, with rebuilding! Like, is that the community service part of a sentence? Is she finally figuring her shit out and trying to be a member of society without cleaving herself to a dictator? Either way is good. I’ve never been as Broiling Hatred about Kiki as some folks; she’s much more in the “oh my gosh you little brat” area for me. I love going FUCK OFF KIKI WE’RE HAVING A MOMENT it’s genuinely fun. She’s genuinely fun.

It ain’t mine to allow, lmao!

I mean, I never actively hated it, you know? I just really like close M&F friendships without any romance, I wanted to see them get that, and the ship was contrary to my preexisting headcanons (I don’t know how far ahead they planned things, but the business with Beefy Bob in HMH felt very much to me like a casual “by the way, Willow’s a lesbian” coding to me), so I guess I was resistant and kinda disappointed, because it meant I didn’t get the thing I’d have liked more... but hell, it happened, it’s sweet. I don’t hate it, I just don’t feel motivated to seek it out/write it as the main focus of a fic/etc.

Not gonna lie, I’m a little baffled and kind of upset by the way “wah, I would have liked it better if this wasn’t how it’s going” seems to be read as “I hate this virulently and also everyone who likes it”. The internet, man....

Oh my god, yeah, holy cow. I mean, at first he’d just be like “uh... no? you got the wrong guy??” and the Collector would think it was so funny.

Thank you!! I couldn’t parse it at all but now that I’ve been told what the line is I can kinda hear it. Very cute! I love that “Hexolios” caught on, at least among Luz’s friends.

Gawd, yeah. That was... really something.
