Heart (härt) - Noun: Personality, Disposition.

You could never stand the weretiger- pathetic and yet standing where you wished and should. Something about him just rubbed you the wrong way. Something about him irked you- not just that he occupied a position undeserved, a position he did not understand. But something more.

The way he ran himself ragged for people who would never acknowledge him. Bleeding out for permission he needn't ask for from people who wouldn't give it. Willing to die on the off-chance that someone would tell him that his life had value.

He was kind because he was selfish. Selfless because he had something to gain. Gentle because he was designed to hurt- made to kill. Those contradictions irritated you.

It disappointed you, his personality.

It made you sick, honestly.

And yet that disposition seemed familiar, but you did not address it. It was pointless to think about. After all-

Knowing the weretiger's heart was not something needed in order to rip it out of him.

Heart (härt) - Noun: The emotional or moral nature as distinguished from the intellectual nature

You could never understand Mafia's dog- the way he killed so easily as if he would die without it (you think he might). The way violence was his only calling- a calling that he never seemed to miss. Every time you met, the smell of death followed him and it never made sense to you- how someone could feel so little, even if they were cruel.

You weren't even partially sure that the bloodied man even HAD emotions TO feel. You fought to live, but that did not mean you took life lightly- not in the slightest. Life held value to you. Every person had a soul and a life.

Every person had a heart.

Except him.

Which is why it surprised you when he let you borrow his strength for the first time. And then for the second time. For someone who hated you so much, he hated letting you lose to someone else so much more. And yet you could understand why.

So, you issued your challenge. You needed him to earn his right for combat.

You needed to see if he was truly heartless and what that heart was made of.

Heart (härt) - Noun: Courage or enthusiasm especially when maintained during a difficult situation

Your death is quick. You barely feel the blade but you certainly feel the blood. But only for a moment. But only for a second.

And in that second, you think back.

You came because Dazai told you to. You followed because he needed you to be his Eyes. You said you'd let that damned weretiger die.

But he knew you didn't mean it.

And he was right.

He was always right.

You'd always sort of hated that about him.

You'd known this fight was no longer in your favor- it had stopped the second that damned sword came out. No. That was a lie. Your favor had never existed in this fight- not so long as it was Fukuchi you were fighting.

So, you'd had to make a choice. One that determined how many deaths would be marked and how many bodies found. You'd just known that- however you chose -one of those bodies would be yours.

Sacrificing yourself for the weretiger is not something you truly ever thought you'd do- for many reasons -but you let your blood spill for him nonetheless. You forced him to flee- knowing he'd wouldn't understand why.

As much as your heart had protested- as much as it had wished to beat and beat and beat for just a few moments longer -your heart had known you would not listen. Your heart had known it had to steel itself in order to do what you needed to do. The courage to sacrifice for the weretiger you had wanted so desperately to kill.

And then your heart stopped.

And then your eyes opened.

Heart (härt) - Noun: One's innermost character, feelings, or inclinations

You'd never seen into someone's heart before- not like this.

Before the blade, you'd just been glad to see Akutagawa alive again- even if not quite himself as before but more himself than when you last saw him. You'd been afraid he was lost forever, your voice not reaching his ears, no matter how loud you cried or how strong your faith.

He was back and he was strong and you knew you couldn't let him die again. Even if it wasn't a true death. It was your turn to save him- to show him that you wanted him to stay.

And now here you stood, in the mires of his heart and it wasn't quite what you thought it would be. You watched him play out emotions you recognized in situations you recognized born of desire you recognized. And in this moment, you realized his heart was just as bruised as your own.

His heart was just as damaged and bound by a need intrinsic.

You let yourself walk through the alleys of his heart and his soul, letting his memories and experiences wash over you. His emotions, pure and entire.

His vengeance towards a world that never gave to him. His rage at a world that took from him. His hunger for purpose and for praise. His hatred for you and what you stood for. His anger. His pain. His desire.

His every beat of his heart.

A heartbeat you felt begin to resound with your own.

Heart (härt) - Noun: Love, Affection

You couldn't help but be angry- though who or what the emotion was directed at was unclear. You were angry at the Weretiger for being so stupid as to sacrifice himself. Angry at the being that killed him. Angry at the man who caused all this.

Angry at yourself for letting it happen and angry at yourself for needing his death to remember.

But you needed to fight because you refused to let his actions become null and void. So, you would continue to fight- as he would. You fought and you fought and you fought, feeling that familiar chill up your spine again. That feeling of death.

And yet.

And yet.

You don't think of the man you've spent your life trying to please, clawing for acknowledgement from until your fingers painted in red. You think of a fool so... foolish that he died for you of all people. A man who would rather die that let himself become a burden. A man who had called to you when you were lost in the prison of your own mind- reaching out no matter how much pain you caused him.

And you had heard him. Even if you could not respond, you had heard him because how could you not? His cries and his faith had not reached your ears but your soul which was so tethered to him and his at this point you were unsure where his started and yours began.

Death waiting once again, you do not see or hear Dazai. It is all Atsushi Nakajima.

He is your ordeal.

He is your greatest challenge.

He is your most infuriating ally.

He is so much more than words can truly describe.

More than just a person.

So, no matter the dimension, no matter the god- the Weretiger WOULD be returned to you and your side.

You reach forward again, your fight far from over, and you let it drive you. You let it guide your hand and your blade. It which has guided the both of you ever since the very first day you met. It which has driven you from the very start.

That which drives us to act, a mysterious thing called the Heart.

Imagine you are Atsushi. You think you know a man. You think you see him for who he is- bleeding claws and all. You think that you are sure in his character and in his entirety. You think that after so many battles and so much death, there is nothing else for you to know.

You are wrong.

You think the two of you could not be more different or distant if you tried. You think that despite any change you may have brought, he is still someone you could never understand. You've come to terms with the idea that you both are simply two sides of the same coin.

You are wrong.

And it takes an unfeeling blade for you to finally learn how much so.

You learn that you only vaguely knew him- a shadow blurred across your vision. You learn his claws are not simply bloodied from pain caused but from pain given- from climbing a mountain insurmountable even to one as strong as him. You learn that you knew his surface but not his core- something no battle had ever taught you. There is so much you have yet to know.

So, you follow.

You learn the two of you are not so very different, the distance no more than a few steps. You learn that any change you brought in him was because, unknowingly, you were speaking a language that you didn't know he spoke right back. You learn that the hate that he held for you was born of a desire just as your own.

So, you follow.

And you learn that there was never a coin at all, just a mirror- a thing made of broken edges, bruised bones, and hateful words. And you learn there were never two sides, simply two caged and cornered animals staring back at the other- hearts bleeding and hands grasping.

Grasping for acknowledgment, for acceptance, for a reason, for permission, for someone to tell them they were finally enough.

You stare at the man in the mirror, a dark anger of a person- all sharp points and serrated defenses- and can see yourself in his eyes. Eyes that don't look at you the same way they used to.

You wonder: when he looks in this mirror, does he see the same?

You will simply have to ask him once you return.

Imagine you are Atsushi. You have seen the heart of a man. A man with whom you cannot accurately describe your relationship- no word seems precise enough nor powerful enough. You still don't fully understand him. He still confuses you, annoys you, and causes an itch you cannot seem to scratch.

But none of that matters because you have already decided he is worth sacrificing for. Because he is Ryuunosuke Akutagawa.

You have already made it to the door that- if done right -will guide you back to him, aided by the ghosts of his past and yours.

And so, you place your hands upon the entrance and push.

Imagine you are Akutagawa. You have just watched the person you most consider your equal die. The only one who has ever stood up against you, the only one to truly stand beside you, and someone you would let stand behind you.

And he is gone. Turned to light and dust in the air. And you could not save him for all your power and strength.

And only now do you see everything.

The hate.

The anger.

The respect.

The love.

Only now do you see and feel and remember all that Atsushi Nakajima was to you. And it doesn't even matter because he is gone. He is gone, gone, gone. And he is gone because he wanted for you to stay.

Just as you wanted him to stay.

And you don't know how to feel because he is gone but he did it because he believed you, of all the mutts and monsters and strays, deserved to live.

Of all of the unwanted creatures in the world, you met the one you needed. Someone who you saw and who saw you. Who you would save and who would save you in turn. Because, now that your eyes are clear and unclouded and full of light- his light -you can see that you were wanted.

Both of you were.

Because were either of you truly unwanted, why would you die for him and he for you?

And it burns and it aches and it hurts because despite both of you wanting and wishing- you, Ryunosuke Akutagawa, are alone.

Because one stupid, foolish weretiger asked for you to live.

Because one idiotic, stubborn, wandering stray dog wanted for you to stay.

Imagine you are Akutagawa. You wake up a blank slate- knowing simply your name and your purpose: protect the princess. Protect the commoners. Those are your only thoughts. Your only duty.

And so you do.

You must slay the evil that threatens the princess. Slaughter it so that it never darkens her doorstep again. Destroy it so that no commoner must fear again. But what you find is not simply the evil, but someone else. He seems to recognize you, but you cannot. He calls to you, afraid- you don't listen. Who is he?

No matter. He is a commoner, which means he must be protected. That is all there is to it. All that matters is destroying the evil in front of you. Nothing more. Nothing less. That is your duty as a knight.

You clash with the evil, a blur of blades and power and sparks. You fight to protect and to serve and to succeed.

And then you fall. You don't quite know how, but you fall nonetheless. You are prone and bleeding and hurt. You are lifted into the air, pain and anger and the voices: Protect the Princess. Protect the commoners. Protect the Princess. Protect the commoners. But you cannot move. You cannot fight. You accept your fate as a knight should. That is all you can do.

A weight crashes into you, heavy and deliberate. You feel yourself fall again, but this time it's different. Because you see him. Arms outstretched. Arm. Arm outstretched. He saved you- protected you. He let himself hurt for you. Die for you. Why? Why would he do this? Who is he? What is he? Why?

Why?

Why?

"Consider us even. Away with you..." he smiles at you, turning to light. "...you fool."

And you remember.

And you remember.

And you scream because that is your partner, your other half, your fool. The man you found enough to hurt for. To die for. To protect because he is Atsushi Nakajima and that was reason enough.

And you remember.

And you scream.

hi hello uh

I have a friend who I talk with (i know you're reading this, hi) and sometimes, on occasion, we have ideas and sometimes they are neat. This happened like an hour ago and I thought I'd share it as the more talented than I will do better things with it lmao.

We were talking about Earthspark- we do that A LOT -and how it's a shame there weren't more seasons because they DEFINITELY didn't make two worse seasons. We were also talking about the Allspark situation- the show's Schrodingers Cat, if you will -, asking each other what we thought and whatnot and my brain had a thought.

It would've been a neat part of the show or season if Nightshade- after talking to some of the Cybertronians and such, likely about Cybertron and the Allspark -started tinkering around, as they do. Little bits in each episode of them working and making this thing- little hints as to what it is.

Until we get an episode where they finally show it and it's something that can somehow be used to check on Cybertron and Optimus, Megs, Bee and Co. have to had a serious conversation about do they want this? If they DON'T use it, they can continue to live a beautiful lie where they can believe Cybertron is okay and all is well. Or they can face a potentially painful truth by learning their planet has perished. In the end, they decide that they just... need to know. Face whatever comes.

So, they use whatever this thing is (look logic and science is hard and I am dumb) and hope for the best. There's nothing for a while, probably. Until there's something.

A signal from Cybertron.

It's just a stupid silly idea that I had that I was like 'Wow! That'd be neat to write!" until I remember I'm not a fic writer and DO NOT trust myself to write characters that aren't mine properly.

So, uh, do with this what you will. I'm going go take a dirt nap.

Trying not to think about how the central theme and throughline of Requiem is trust and how this whole arc is making me extremely unwell because I know everything is going to come crashing down in the next few weeks. I feel it in my bones and tinfoil hat.

Like, most of this arc has been about Buddy opening up and TRUSTING CHASE. The entirety of episode 53??? The thorns????? The rose??? The conversation between Deacon and Buddy right after??? You want me to believe that making Dracifer's intervention about TRUST ISSUES was a coincidence? That Buddy's (kind of) acknowledgement that he trusts Chase and the mention of trust issues wasn't supposed to make me think of that one conversation in Beach Boys? I mean, yeah, sure maybe. But since I'm awake before I want to be or should be and start finals soon, I've decided that it's not and this was meant to ruin me personally.

Like we've finally gotten to a point where Buddy feels comfortable with Chase. He feels bad for hurting him even a little bit (shout-out to when he was talking about how he has accidents a lot- specifically in reference to hurting Chase -and I know he was thinking about Beach Boys- like I am). And this chapter really drove that home. We're there. Which is why I know something AWFUL is going to happen. We've had it a little too good too long (as evidenced by the fast passers slowly withering away from whatever Still Waters is doing to them which is honestly frightening). As of right now, the only thing I can think of is Buddy finding out about Prunella- Chase and Deacon's big secret, something Buddy was so sure they (Chase, specifically) didn't have. They hid another key and keyholder from him. Not to mention a whole damn child. Seems like a breach of trust to me. And after all this? That would probably make Buddy a little hurt. More than just a little.

Am I hallucinating? Am I overthinking things and finding meaning where there is none. Perhaps. Mayhaps, even. But, what else am I supposed to do? Be normal about my interests? Behave like an upstanding member of society and pretend like I don't think about these idiots all the time? Please. If I simply prepare for the worst case scenario than the outcome can't hurt me. I will simply be invulnerable to the pain whenever I get to whatever hellish visions the fast passers are seeing.

Anyway, the bones are done cooking and I need a nap. Apologies for another rambling and if you see any grammar issues, no you did not and I definitely proofread this. Have a lovely day.

Well.

I'm unsure if I should be happy that I earned a treat or focus on being emotionally distraught after what I just read.

Literally my first post in the CB tag, so: hello, hi, nice to formally meet you all. I don't post but trust me I DO lurk in this tag. Doing this post so I can share my deteriorating thoughts but also so that in five weeks when I've forgotten everything I can see if I was right or not and whether I've earned a treat. Fair warning: I only know how to write essays. Big long theses. My bad. Whoops. All of this is PURE THEORIZING. I have no idea what truly happens, all information I gather is from the free episode(s) or what's posted here. I am simply taking shots in the dark for fun. Please don't yell at me. only saying this cause I normally post in communities where everyone has the same information but you all seem very nice so I'm not really worried about it :]

OKAY! SO! As a very normal human being with very normal interest in this silly comic, I scroll through the tag and see what you goobers post (because you're all very funny, talented, and entertaining) and I noticed that this week's fast pass episode has people in emotions. Very MUCH in emotions. I also noticed someone mention parallels to this week's free episode- which I spent way too long agonizing over but that's IRRELEVANT -and so my brain got to thinking. I could just satisfy my curiosity by using money but the way my anxiety will just beat me up for that is crazy. So, instead of that, I've decided that it's time to rabidly theorize about what happens for giggles. Basing my thoughts on the idea of this week's episodes having parallels, I have a few different thoughts.

All of my ideas are parallels of things that happened in the dungeon in the free episode since that has the most content to parallel and was the most prevalent part of the episode. With that in mind, here we go and apologies in advance.

Idea Number One: My first idea is that maybe there's a parallel to the scene where Buddy saves Chase from the creepy guard. Perhaps there's a similar situation to what happened in the free episode or- an idea I'm more partial to -within this book there's a person, place, or scene that reminds Buddy of Ex-Libris which causes him to have some sort of panic attack or a clearly afraid reaction. He's placed in a situation where he's reminded of something from EL that he is afraid of or has bad memories of. Something that Chase has to pull him away or calm him down from, but something that Chase has to save him from. Like how Buddy saved him this week.

Idea Number Two: This idea is based on the statement about ulterior motives and hiding things that Buddy made to Chase- who we all know is hiding something. In this idea, maybe Buddy finally finds out about Prunella and isn't pleased with Chase's lying to him and hiding things. They aren't besties but there's a thin line of trust between them that Chase potentially breaks by hiding Prunella. A person Buddy thought was honest and open suddenly hid something from him, so who's to say he's not hiding more? So, the actual IDEA is that maybe Buddy parallels the statement he makes, but this time in a more hurt tone or accusatory. Instead of apologizing and admitting "you can't have ulterior motives and you're pretty honest", he goes the opposite direction of "I was wrong, you're a liar and blah blah blah" (sorry didn't wanna write more lmao). Still, for a parallel, the statements would likely have to be similar in structure and in nature, and a line that has been living RENT-FREE in my head since this morning is: "I was too dumb to think you didn't have ulterior motives. Too dumb to see that you were hiding something." Or something to that effect. Paralleling that previous statement.

Idea Number Three: This idea I'm less sold on but screw it, throwing it in for giggles because I can and that's one more idea I have lying around. This one is based more on the situation between Chase and Buddy (Buddy being like "wow! thanks for not hiding things" to Chase "definitely hiding a whole ass child" Hollow). A simple switch of roles is what my third thought is. Chase takes Buddy's role of "Wow, so honest" and Buddy takes Chase's role of "Hiding things". The reason I don't like this one as much and I'm not as convinced is because for it to have as much emotion as the Fast Pass episode clearly had, there has to be some sort of emotional investment to whatever the thing was. And for there to be emotional investment, we would likely have to know what exactly Buddy would be hiding from Chase in this potential scenario. As of right now, we have nothing of the sort since getting that kind of information would require a Buddy POV episode which I don't think we're getting any time super soon? So, unless we suddenly find out things in the next four weeks, I doubt it's going to be something like this.

OKAY, I'M DONE NOW I SWEAR! I am so sorry for how long and unnecessary this post was (whoops) but I need to scream somewhere! I'll revisit this in five weeks I suppose to see if I'm right or not and if I've earned my little treat (reward yourselves for things man. self-love). I'll still be lurking, as always, but I guess I'll see y'all formally once again in like five weeks. Have a lovely day! :]

Well, less than 6 hours until I find out if I've earned a little treat or not! Stay tuned! Or don't. I'm not your mother. Also, messed up for the episode that ruined the fast passers' lives to drop on my birthday- Happy birthday to me ig????

So, for my birthday weekend, my best friend came up and we watched the hit movie Akira for the first time (something we'd been planning for a while) and holy shit oh my god.

The way I have to sit at work like I didn't just watch Akira and like I'm not making notes for two separate analysis essays I'm hoping a professor assigns someday is not funny.

Still, for a parallel, the statements would likely have to be similar in structure and in nature, and a line that has been living RENT-FREE in my head since this morning is: "I was too dumb to think you didn't have ulterior motives. Too dumb to see that you were hiding something." Or something to that effect. Paralleling that previous statement.

Idea Number Three: This idea I'm less sold on but screw it, throwing it in for giggles because I can and that's one more idea I have lying around. This one is based more on the situation between Chase and Buddy (Buddy being like "wow! thanks for not hiding things" to Chase "definitely hiding a whole ass child" Hollow). A simple switch of roles is what my third thought is. Chase takes Buddy's role of "Wow, so honest" and Buddy takes Chase's role of "Hiding things". The reason I don't like this one as much and I'm not as convinced is because for it to have as much emotion as the Fast Pass episode clearly had, there has to be some sort of emotional investment to whatever the thing was. And for there to be emotional investment, we would likely have to know what exactly Buddy would be hiding from Chase in this potential scenario. As of right now, we have nothing of the sort since getting that kind of information would require a Buddy POV episode which I don't think we're getting any time super soon? So, unless we suddenly find out things in the next four weeks, I doubt it's going to be something like this.

OKAY, I'M DONE NOW I SWEAR! I am so sorry for how long and unnecessary this post was (whoops) but I need to scream somewhere! I'll revisit this in five weeks I suppose to see if I'm right or not and if I've earned my little treat (reward yourselves for things man. self-love). I'll still be lurking, as always, but I guess I'll see y'all formally once again in like five weeks. Have a lovely day! :]

I've been thinking about Akutagawa's "Who are you?" for HOURS and I'm begging- hands and knees -for this to be a "get your shit together atsushi" moment and not actually "whoops brain wipe because of vampire shit" moment.

Like, these two goobers know each other better than they'd like to admit- particularly when it comes to combat because of how they've fought side-by-side so many times. So, it would make sense for Akutagawa to see Atsushi's current state and go "I don't know any pathetic losers like you" because he doesn't have time to deal with Atushi's current state at the moment and also because he's just that kind of blunt asshole (in the most affectionate way possible). The weretiger he knows always fights back and never gives in and is constantly fighting to live- to prove he deserves to live -no matter who the opponent or how powerful. Yet, the person before him is begging for death and on his knees before a foe, crying and sniveling. That person isn't someone he recognizes. And as we all know, Akutagawa isn't someone to mince words or give platitudes, especially to someone like Atushi who he regards as his rival in a sense, so he'd never say anything like "this isn't like you" or crap like that. And this goes double since he's now also busy facing pretty much a god and doesn't have time to dissect whatever's up with Atsushi.

So, of course, the natural thing for him to do is be his usual, straightforward, and somewhat mean self. "Who are you?" Not a simple question of identity but a statement of disappointment (for lack of a better word here at 1AM). A challenge directed at Atsushi to get it together and remember what they're doing here. Obviously, Atsushi's behavior is the result/has been heavily influenced by- y'know -literally everything that's happened in the last few chapters but regardless of whether or not Akutagwa even knows that (betting on not at the moment, me thinks), what he does know is that this isn't the time to be letting Fyodor have his way and that he needs to fight. He's telling Atsushi to stand up and be the weretiger he knows and has fought beside every time and, in terms of SSKK, his other half.

And now, we're all just waiting for that moment when Atsushi gets back up and Akutagawa gets his partner back and then they bully (AKA flirt) with each other in standard SSKK fashion while they beat up Fyodor and his god best friend.

Of course, I've already seen a couple other people mention this idea as well because A) we're all coping together and B) it would be a clear and interesting narrative line to take (in my personal opinion). A show of how these two enemies/rivals truly see each other and that they are a team despite appearances. A moment that reminds us, and potentially even them, that they know each other better than they think.

Probably just stating the obvious here or doing a longer-winded version of what everyone's already been thinking (especially since I'm like 3 days late to the party) but whatever lmao. Just needed to yell into the void a little bit and put the manifestation of this scene into the world.

Watching camp cretaceous AND HOLY PEOPLE ACTUALLY DIE????

Hi!

Hello!

Greetings!

:)

This is just your warning that now that Season 4 has been announced, you should begin preparing yourselves for my incredibly scuffed essay that’s rapidly approaching your location, just like every other season! No, it’s not optional and yes, I do do this every season :) And yes, I do have a problem :)

You’re welcome :)

Dirty Laundry (Literally.)

So, as we know, Dreamworks put out the new screenshots for season 3 and I noticed something I hadn’t before and it’s something I noticed upon rewatching the trailer as well.

So, kids as we normally know them for a majority of the series:

Dirty, ratty, little teenagers who are fight for their lives, right? Well, now look at THIS. Specifically their clothes,:

They’re clean. SPOTLESS. Through season two, their clothes were dirty and so were they to an extent. The same thing in the trailer, there are scenes where they’re just CLEAN. Which has made my brain go brrr for a second, so stay with me here.

1) They could’ve found a facility with running water and were able to clean their clothes. Because those things are SPOTLESS and those are the only clothes they have as far as we know.

2) They were rescued and were able to get themselves and their clothes cleaned, and with this thought, it’ could explain why they were after the egg? Like, they got rescued and whoever it was wanted the egg possibly? Like a condition to their rescue or something? Not sure.

3) Now, it also raises the question of when this happens. If we take the raft scene I posted earlier, they’re dirty and ratty, right? So either that’s like I theorized in my Bumpy post and that’s the beginning of the season and they get clean later. OR, they get clean and just get dirty again, which is ALSO very much possible.

ALSO THIS LITERALLY JUST OCCURED TO ME AND I JUST NOTICED IT BUT IN THE HELICOPTER SHOT, BEN ISN’T THERE, BUT THEN THERE’S THIS SCENE:

BET, RIGHT NOW THAT THESE SCENES ARE CONSECUTIVE! The helicopter shot is first, where the fam is like being threatened or something, followed by Ben showing up to save them with Bumpy and a herd of Ankylos (which I’m betting they put her into when they planned to leave the island). The lighting and location is the same and it would make sense! BUT ONCE AGAIN NOTICE THE CLOTHES AND CONDITION. BEN IS STILL DIRTY WHEN IN THE KIDS IN THE HELICOPTER SHOT LOOK FAIRLY CLEAN STILL.

THIS IMPLIES THAT BEN DIDN’T GO WHEREVER THEY WENT TO, RIGHT? So, I think it’s possible that the Fam, minus Ben, was taken into some facility, by which I mean they were probably found and lowkey forced to go. Because if they have a helicopter, chances are they have soldiers and guns. I mean, it’s a dinosaur island, you’d obviously want those. So, those are already a bit of a red flag, plus after the whole thing with Mitch and Tiff, no way the kids are gonna trust that easily. So it’d make sense for them to have Ben stay behind in case something happened, which, clearly something did, so he comes in with the cavalry.

Once again, this is a terrible essay I’ve written for y’all. I’d love to hear your thoughts and opinions on this and I hope you enjoyed it!

Head Empty, Only Bumpy.

I’m late to the party because I’ve been meaning to write this post but also I am very lazy. 

ANYWAY. As you may know, I make it my life to lurk on the Camp Cretaceous tag on tumblr for the tea. When the trailer dropped, I saw many posts panicking about Bumpy and I would like to discuss that today.

First, calm down everyone. I’m sure she’s fine and hanging out on the island with other dinos right now. My reasoning being the fact that the raft scene we see in the trailer is most likely either episode one or two but most likely episode one. We can infer this from a couple things. First, the weather. It’s fair and moderate, meaning this happens either before or after the events of the tropical storm mentioned in the synopsis. What makes me think it’s before the tropical storm is the raft. If trapped on an island, wouldn’t your first escape idea be a raft? It’s basic. Still, it’s possible I’m wrong because if we look at the fun little chalkboard Brooklyn’s drawing on, we see them looking at getaway vehicles on the island, all of which are crossed out either on fire or something. But it’s hard to tell. So, maybe a raft might not be their first idea, but I’m going to run with it for now. So, make fun of me later, okay?

Now, theorizing that this is most likely the first episode of the season, it would explain as to why Bumpy doesn’t appear to be there. She’s too big and too heavy for any raft they build to support her. Not to mention the amount supplies they’d need just to care for her. Plus, they know she can’t come to the mainland with them and that she has to stay on the island. So, the chances are that before leaving, the fam said their goodbyes to Bumpy and got on the raft. Not to mention, they also likely looked for an ankylosaurus herd to put her into so they can be sure she’d be taken care of after they left since they didn’t expect for their plan to fail. This would explain why Bumpy isn’t around for the season. Still, I don’t think it’s the last we’ll see of our favorite emotional support dinosaur. She’ll return when we need her most. But that’s all just a theory... A DINOSAUR THEORY! i know I’m not funny sorry, I’ll just go now-

Drakken Vs. Gen Z

So, hi. Yes, hello. It’s ME. This post is just something I thought up at swim practice at 6:30 in the morning. I believe that Dr. Drew Lipsky Drakken from the hit show Kim Possible would be ABSOLUTELY POWERLESS against we who are Generation Z for several reasons. These reasons include our slang, the fact that we’re kinda meaner than Kim is, we’re ABSOLUTELY more feral than she is, we’re pretty fucking gay, and our chaotic energy outweighs his.

First off, our slang would give him a whole mental breakdown. He barely understands KP universe slang which is the easiest slang to understand because of how you can figure it out without context. ”What’s the sitch?”, no brainer.  He struggles with that. Our slang? WE DON'T HAVE CONTEXT AND IT MAKES NO SENSE WITHOUT IT. THIS MAN WOULD COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE WORD YEET AND HAVE A WHOLE STROKE. It has a thousand meanings, Drakken would struggle with ONE. He’d be too busty losing it to stop us from stopping him.

Next, as we all know, Kim doesn't swear because it's a TV-G show. Plus she gives off a non-sweary vibe to me. We are not that kind. We would walk into the room and ROAST HIS ASS SO BAD, HE'D JUST QUIT. We'd fucking END HIM within seconds of entering the room. He’d try to talk shit and we’d look him in the eye and say some things he’d NEVER UNHEAR.

Third, Kim doesn't use lethal force or anything like that because once again, TV-G and she seems very polite. Gen Z would not fucking hesitate to take this man out if given the chance because WE ARE FERAL AS FUCK. As our good man Charlie Slimecicle says: "If you have a shot, take it." We would show up with baseball bats ready to KILL.

 This won’t even be much of a paragraph. Many of us are gay and would be too busy flirting with Shego to bother with him, making him offended and sad. 'Nuff said. 

Finally, let's be real. We wouldn't actually fight Drakken. We'd just work with him and team up with him, slowly taking over from inside the forth and overthrowing him until we finally have our coup. Then, we team up with Shego to take over the world ourselves. We are the true legends. This man would crumple before our overwhelming POWER.

As a treat, have some screenshots of the conversation I had with my good friend @baguette-whet​ about this.

E750 Survival Skills (Potentially?)

Soooo, season three is a thing that’s happening now. Yay! Anyway, if any of you remember my absolute CRIME of a post about E750, then my deepest condolences because I’m BACK WITH MORE.

So, as you’re all aware, I’m a fool who has decided sleep is completely irrelevant to living my best life. I need only Netflix and some crazy theories. Speaking of crazy theories, let’s get into it.

So, if you had the great misfortune of reading my last CC theory and you remember it, you’ll know I talked about the potential of E750 being a new breed of Indominous, something very different, or even a fucked up horse. However, that’s not something to worry about at the moment. These were all just theories from before. But NOW, I wanna give y’all something new because I’m bored and I should actually post on my Tumblr blog. Now, one of the things we got from this trailer was a different perspective on the E750 containment unit. As in, we see it from a different POV. In season 2, the perspectives we got made it look pretty large, which in turn, gives the idea that this creature itself is large.

However, when we see Sammy and Brooklyn discover the tube in the trailer, the actual containment portion might be as tall as them, give or take. Meaning, it’s potentially around 5′7-5′3 if I’m judging it right which I might not be because... I’m kinda dumb. Still, that means that our dino friend here is not as large as we originally thought, possibly standing shorter than some of our main cast. I’m not saying it won’t get bigger. It could. However, what I am saying is that this dinosaur isn’t what we thought it was going to be.

As far as we know, this dinosaur is small and most likely not as strong as some of the other predators we’ve experienced in this series. Which begs the question, what makes it special. Obviously,  it was being made and also being held in cryogenic stasis, which means, it was created for a purpose. For a REASON. Every other dinosaur we’ve seen is either big and scary, strong as hell, or strongest in numbers. E750 doesn’t have any of that as it’s small, alone, and slender. How will it survive and threaten our main trio?

Well, I have a few ideas, some of which were also supplied by my partner-in-crime @baguette-whet . Obviously, this creature is predatory and based on it’s current size, quite slim. Meaning it can track these kids places other predators can’t, making it a danger to them even when they think they’re safe. Which limits their options from run and hide to just run.

Now, the other idea was the very first one I had. We know that to complete the I-Rex’s DNA, Wu had to use the genes of other animals. So, why not E750 as well? It’s very much possible that this creature has been genetically engineered with dangerous animal DNA or dangerous animal DNA was used to fill the gaps. The specific thought I had, that could really push this over the top? Venom. If it had venom that would make this creature much more dangerous than we originally thought, especially if the venom comes from a creature like a Komodo Dragon or some form of cobra. (Just had this thought RIGHT now but like, E750 SPITTING VENOM? CORROSIVE VENOM? Iconic.) 

These are just ideas I have and I don’t know if anyone else has wondered about this question as well but I would love other ideas. How do YOU think E750 is going to be a threat here in season 3?

E750 is Truly an Enigma

Okay, so I know we’re all losing our collective minds over Camp Cretaceous’s E750. Not that I had one to begin with but I digress. 

Naturally, when there were questions to be asked, I felt like answering them instead of doing my homework. As usual, I teamed up with my good friend @baguette-whet​ to crack down and solve this mystery with intermittent shenanigans. 

So, it began with us looking at the image of the ice block and just spitballing until I drew a terrible outline, trying to prove to my yeasty friend that it was facing us a and roaring. To which they said it looked like the Indoraptor. For context, looks like this:

They said something about correct face shape and upon googling it, there were definitely more similarities. In the spirit of theorizing, I took this idea and ran with it, albeit a little poorly. I said it was possible as it took place before Fallen Kingdom and was possibly going to play into Dominion. This gave me an idea. It had been a while since I had watch FK so, of course, I went onto a wiki and investigated. For a while, we thought, “What if E750 was an Indorex prototype?”

Then Baguette made fun of all of Jurassic Park.

But briefly before that, I had been reading the wiki and noticed that the Indoraptor from FK WAS the prototype. So idea didn’t quite work. I sent Baguette the full wikie article, which, after reading, proceeding to bully Wu some more.

After all of that, I had another thought after looking at some images. E750 probably wasn’t an I-Rex or a failed one. Based on story, most likely not an Indoraptor either. So, what if it was something entirely new, which I know has been discussed before, but stay with me. 

These two dinosaurs are very different but they do share one visible quality, thought it’s less prominent on the I-Rex than the Indoraptor. Feathering. And what can we see through the ice in our good friend E750′s room?

Feathering. Or at least, that’s what it appears to be. So, what if Wu was making another Indominous? Not a raptor or a rex, but something else? It might fit as we see other files on Wu’s laptop next to E750, although labeled differently. They could either the previous Indominous files or previous attempts on this one. It was interesting, howwver, that if these files were all related, why weren’t they filed the same? What does the E in E750 stand for? Baguette, once again, was smarter than me. For a second at least.

There were a few other ideas such as the remains of the I-Rex’s twin, seeing as E750 looked a little... wonky. I agreed, saying it was plausible as we never hear about the remains and that they could be being preserved to use for future projects. But seeing as the dinosaur is ALIVE? Probably not.

So, once again going off of Baguette’s idea of classification, I went to the magic land of Wikipedia and compiled this:

Didn’t look too much into some of them, but just some ideas. Until, Baguette hit us with the one true answer to this question.

To which I replied:

And Baguette ended the bit with:

In all seriousness, there are many possibilities to what E750 could be and these are just some ideas to get your brain turning!

not the horse one. please not the horse one-

Avatar, but LANGUAGES

     So, uh, this most likely, probably, definitely been brought up and discussed before. However, I don’t care and I’m bored, so, here we go anyways and I hope you can stay with me until the end.

     I was just vibing and had a thought pertaining to Avatar:The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra. Specifically the idea that because the show is always in one language, in my case English, we don’t seem to consider the fact that from a cultural and global stand point, all of the nations would have different native languages. Of course, I brought this up with my good friend, @lunaria-gryfe​ in Discord because I assumed they’d indulge my strange train of thought.

     Upon receiving the message, Luna responded with the fact that not only would there be different native languages, there would be several different dialects as well. Here is a small snippet from this conversation, please pardon any spelling errors I induced by having large thumbs while typing on my phone.

     We discussed different nations and the dialects and such, stating that, as seen above, the Water Tribes would have different dialects as they are fairly far enough apart. Which prompted Luna to state that the Earth Kingdom, with many rings, would have several dialects and accents within each one. Such as the Lower Ring having more informal language compared to the Upper Ring having more formal language based on upbringings and access to education. The next thing I asked was what were their thoughts on the Air Nations language and dialects. Luna, being smarter than me, assumed that because they were nomads, the Air Nation’s language would be a bit of a conglomeration of the other three nations languages along with some things of their own.

     Now, this inevitably led to the crackhead zone. By which I mean, we started using this idea of languages and dialects in context with the show because I stated that if it had been a thing, it’d would have been much more amusing whenever they went to a new nation. We both agreed that when it came to languages, Katara was an absolute hot mess, while Sokka was literally the greatest linguist of all time and easily became the Gaangs makeshift translator. (I made up that last bit myself, but whatever.) Another thing we agreed on was that Aang uses slang words from 100 years ago, that mean something entirely different now.

     Something important to know about me is that I have dumb thoughts and I may or may not have a total of three brain cells. With this knowledge, my three brain cells came up with something that elicited a strange, yet amusing conversation.

     It went on for a little bit longer as we found this scenario quite funny and I don’t know why, exactly. After a moment, it translated into Legend of Korra where Korra now knows different slang terms in different dialects and languages that she shouldn’t know because they’re like over a 1000 years old. Also, Republic city has it’s own language, very closely tied to the Air Nomad language. Anyhow, the only reasons she knows these slang words is because of her past lives, so when she’s saying this shit, combined with current and more modern slang, no one has a clue of what’s happening whatsoever, not even Korra. Luna decided that this was how everyone was dealing with the situation.

After this, our conversation derailed into snakes and how dumb and cute they are, courtesy of Luna. Hope you enjoyed YET ANOTHER ESSAY FROM ME. I’M SO SORRY FOR THIS. 

The Hollow comes out in less than a day, so this is my last plea. Please change Mira’s outfit. It looKS LIKE SHE WENT SHOPPING AT JUSTICE IN THE EARLY 2000′S. I love her DEARLY, BUT PLEASE, SHE NEEDS A NEW OUTFIT.

Yet Another Hollow Theory

Hi, yes, hello. I’m back on my dumbness today folks. ANOTHER HOLLOW THEORY BECAUSE SEASON 2 IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER AND I’M LOSING MY MARBLES!

SO, this is a theory I DID NOT come up with on my own, I had the help of the lovely @lunaria-gryfe​ to assist me with this. This theory is based on how they got back into the game this season.

Originally, we’d been thinking tournament style or it’s the “next level”, however, it’s referenced a few times in the trailer than something wasn’t right and that they felt they were  supposed to be there. So, this lead to a 6 hour long discussion (with some unplanned intermissions and tangents) about different theories. I started off with the idea that the code got to them and that they never actually woke up, that the ending was just the corrupted code messing with them. This was a maybe, so we explored how this was possible and discussed the way of how they entered the game.

They entered the game through those chairs or machines or whatever and it was making sense until Luna reminded me that Weirdy, whom we now call Chad because someone on Tumblr named him that and we loved it, didn’t use the chair thing. Which means, if he was getting in one way, they had to be getting in the same or a similar way. Which made my brain connect two things, the blue glowing screens that the kids look at, the ones they used to choose powers, and Chad’s (Weirdy’s) glasses. He never takes them off, which would make it easy for him to pop in and out of the game at his convenience. However, we didn’t think it was just the screens that was allowing them in, Luna and I thought, “Well, what about their memories and projecting their consciousness,” and some other things I can’t quite remember.

This lead to the theory of brain implants. Yes, I know I sound deranged and it makes no sense, but like, stick with me on this. If they’d gotten implants, it would make sense how the program was able to erase their memories and other things. Not to mention, that these implants most likely had some sort of access to their their nervous system, which would explain how they felt pain, heat, cold, and other sensations while being in a digital world, though these feelings were very much dulled down. Not to mention, the glitch in Vanessa’s eye could have been her implant. I guess you may be wondering, why’d it glitch? We’ll get to that in a moment.

The question is, how this comes into play with season two? A faulty implant. A broken one. Luna and I believe that something went wrong with one of the players implants and it affected everyone else while they were in the game. Which would be why Vanessa’s eye glitched. It was her implant becoming or being corrupted by the faulty one.

Whose implant, you may ask? Easy, it was Adams’. The reason I say this is Adam has definitely been a little more tired and unsteady than the other two. When he woke up, there was a high pitched sound and he seemed to have a headache. Nothing serious, right? Maybe, but the fact that the other two didn’t react the same way, just might say something about that. Luna then informed me of something I’d forgotten. During the Minotaur's labyrinth, Adam crashes into Mira and then struggles to get back up, dizzy and disoriented, but Mira’s just fine. Granted, this might be nothing, but it’s still something to consider.

Now, a big thing that’s been going around the fandom for a while now, a big question that’s been unanswered. Why was Dave so scared of Adam? His implant. Adam’s corrupted implant. Dave might have been able to sense it when he touched Adam or at least sense something was dreadfully wrong. Now, not to mention it was after that, that things started glitching out, after Dave touched Adam. Possibly that corrupted implant is was caused the code to go wacky and eat itself, because part of the game allowed the implant contact. Also, if it IS Adam’s implant that’s corrupted, that could possibly be another reason his reflection was reversed. Also, if his implant was corrupted, that might mean it wasn’t working correctly and which is why Adam put everything together so easily after seeing Dave glitch, because it was in the very back of his mind.That or he’s as smart as we think is, maybe both. This might also explain why Chad (Weirdy), was kicked out of the game and not the kids. Since he’s not always in the game or there as long as they were, the his implant might not have been affected, which is why he was forced out. 

Back to how this connects to season two. The kids are very confused and believe this isn’t supposed to be happening. They’re right, it isn’t. Adam’s implant most likely affected everyone else, causing them to become corrupted as well. Throughout the first season we see that the game has a pretty impressive AI, allowing the characters that were created have their own personalities and respond with ease, unlike an NPC. This means the game can almost run itself, meaning it could easily take over the implants in the players brains, causing them to go right back to The Hollow. This also explains the new worlds, the way Luna phrased is was, “Yeah and I think things keep breaking because of the implant. If it's only purpose is to react with The Hollow, then it would explain why things are happening. But it seems The Hollow has taken preventive measures in order to keep the game from crumbling. Instead it looks as if the game is creating more so it can't be destroyed” Now, my first thought was that was why the game chose to send them “home”, so they’d be comfortable and safe, however Luna made yet another wonderful point. “That's giving the game a lot of credit. If anything the programmers & artists make the settings and the game randomizes it.” This means that the game is just rolling along a course it’s planned, but now it’s trying to save itself at the same time. Also, if these kids did have implants, that would make the adults, especially their parents, not knowing about the Hollow even weirder. First off, the game took 5 hours, meaning the parents would have had to known where their children were for that whole time. However, we know that they’re all under the age of 18, meaning they’re all minors, which means that if they were to do this game and get these implants, they most likely needed parent permission. Which means, these parents had to have signed these forms for the kids to have participated, meaning they had to know about this.

Since this post is getting pretty long, I’ll try to make this last bit short and sweet. The last few things we need to tie up here and for this theory to possibly make sense. What about the two other teams? How come Chad (Weirdy) is in the game? What about the fears? Are you off your ROCKER, Space? The answers to these questions are ones Luna and I think make sense, but one we’re not so sure about.

The two other teams. My theory was that these kids either were playing a different game at the same time and somehow got corrupted too or played after the others and THEN got corrupted, Luna’s theory, which probably is better, is that these two new teams were about to play new game and our Season 1 buddies just got thrown in because of their implants. How is Weirdy in the game? Well, seeing as he most likely has an implant as well, that allows him to pop in and out of the game at will, he probably had it altered or hacked so not only could he get in, but use his powers to help the kids as much as he could. This would also explain his line at the end of the trailer. The fears also have two theories, but I’ll only use one because the others a stretch and this post is long enough. The main one we have is that the kids took a “survey” allowing the producers to know certain things so they could create task and challenges. The computer decided to use this in the game as a challenge or task. As for that last bit about me being crazy? Yes. I am and honestly, this post killed my last two braincells.

So, I’ll leave this post at that and I think I got all of our thoughts down. Feel free to leave your thoughts and criticisms for Luna and I! We’d love to see it, but try to keep it constructive, thanks!

The Hollow and Castle Carcolh

OKAY, SO

I was re-watching the season 2 trailer for The Hollow, right? Except, this time I was watching it on a better screen, which means, I noticed some things I hadn’t before. One of these things was this sign by the weird haunted mansion place:

Clearly, that is the name of this building, right? So, I did some did some DIGGIN’ on the interwebs. First off, the not shocking bit is that  chateau means “Castle” in French. However, it’s the SECOND word I was really interested in. I tried a lot of languages, but I couldn’t find anything. So, I ended up just putting up putting Carcolh into the search bar alone and I MADE A BREAKTHROUGH. The Carcolh is actually a creature from Gascon folklore, also called, the Lou Carcolh. Gascony is a small province in France and they believe the Carcolh to be a serpent-mollusk like monster. So, I went into images and I was VERY INTERESTED by what I saw.

This is an interpretation of what the Lou Carcolh looked like, and some of the others weren’t much different. I was sitting there and I was like “That looks kinda familiar... but where have I seen this before?” Then, it hit me

Lads, lasses, and enby masses. I give you this image from the season two trailer:

That my friends, I present the snail monster from the trailer, who I am betting is actually the Lou Carcolh and the name of that spooky Castle. I’m not quite sure how it all fits together yet, but I’m sure it’ll all make sense in ten days.

So, I looked a little more into the lore of the Carcolh to see if anything could give  us a better idea of how this all fits together. Apparently, it has slimy tendril like appendages that surround it’s mouth and stretch for miles, with made think of ANOTHER SCENE from the trailer.

Remember the quick scene with Mira fighting that tentacle looking thing? I’m betting that this is their fight with the Carcolh and that’s one of it’s tendrils Mira’s currently battling off. The monster is believed to live underground in caverns in Southwest France. It would drag anything that was caught in it’s tendrils back to its’ cave and then would swallow whatever it caught whole with it’s huge mouth. The nickname The Carcolh was given to the city of Hastingues, in the French department of Landes since their place of settlement was on a rounded hill. As a last little fact, the men of Hastingues would tell women they deemed young and pretty, “The carcolh will catch you!” as a warning. I, however, know not why.

So, I have no clue how this will play into Season 2 or if it will at all, but I hope this gets you’re mental gears turning!

Camp Half-Blood, but  with D&D

Okay, so I know I post way too much Nico content on here, but I had an incredible thought.

Nico pretty much plays the Riordon verse version of Magic: The Gathering, so I will now be under the impression that not only does Nico play Dungeons & Dragons, but he’s dragged most of the seven and others into it as well. I don’t know if Nico would DM or play, but if he did play he’d either be a edgy, murdering rogue or the complete opposite, a bard. He definitely makes Will play though.

Y’all just ever wake up in the morning and realize that we’re all just piles of oozing flesh walking around on calcium stilts? Or that WE’RE the skeletons costumes, not the other way around?

Disappoinment and Salt

Will, throwing open the curtains: Rise and shine! Time to give the gods your glory! 

Nico, huddled in his blankets in a corner: *Muffled* The gods can bite me if they think they're getting anything other than disappointment and salt from this bitch. 

Will: 

Will: Okay, then.

I forgot I made this, now I'm cackling at 3 AM. Send help.

Poptart Thief

So, Nico Di Angelo’s fatal flaw is holding grudges and he WILL hold them till the end of time. So, like, imagine Will doing something so minor, but Nico won’t shut up about it because he’s bitter and petty.

Like, Will eats Nico’s Poptart and now this is their conversation:

Will: Hey, Nico?

Nico, reading a book: Yeah?

Will: Have you seen my shoes?

Nico, not looking up: I don’t know, have you seen my motherfucking Poptart?

Will: Are you actually-

Y’all know those Extra gum ads? Where that dude is flirting with the girl through gum wrappers? So in the spirit of Hawwoween, what if the guy was a creepy ass stalker? Like, he draws her sleeping in her room and shit.
