BIG DAD ENERGY
oh this is so cute
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
BIG DAD ENERGY : ISN'T IT? The fam gets an apartment together in Fantasy!Egypt at one point, and it is the most wholesome thing
BIG DAD ENERGY
omg
BIG DAD ENERGY
i love it
Billie Sue 🌻
probably fat billie on the grounds that I too have slept sitting up in a closet before
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
honesty, if the rest of the show had been slice-of-life shenanigans in this Egyptian city, I would've been 100% fine with that
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
Billie Sue 🌻 : it's an icebox/fridge, hahah! but same vibe here, you're right
Billie Sue 🌻
that's still a mood /in my room with the AC cranked up and pointed Directly At Me
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
YEAHHHH, valid
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
i don't have AC hence why I'm tagging myself as the naked guy with nerd glasses + a book
Billie Sue 🌻
also very valid
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
1. Ezra. technically true <<;; although there's usually a price to pay for elemental shenanigans done under pressure
TroubledBlues
Oh no that is such good art
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
2, Solokin. all these jedi boys who derive their self-worth from helping people, it's a natural conclusion to make :<
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
TroubledBlues : Right?? So many little details! Perrel's hat, the half-eaten croissant, all the plants n' jars of weird stuff. also, shittons of protein powder (LOL)
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
3. Michael. my man literally conjures clothes from nothing, but consider: farmer duds
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
1. Ezra. Vyng is somehow both responsible and a hot mess. It's a tough balance lmao
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
2. Michael. honestly, there's no excuse for Vyng to wear secondhand wools the way he does when he has Michael as a roommate
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
...well, there is an excuse. Mainly this whole ethos around finding beauty in imperfections, and accepting wear and tear as the natural history of an object (instead of something to be discarded or hidden)
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
But I imagine he'll still sometimes ask Michael to dress him up in something fun or nice
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
3. Ryan. I LOVE THIS THREAD SO MUCH that is all
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
Billie Sue 🌻 I am so tickled by this whole scene, jsyk
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
4. Vira-Lorr. he imagines VL is savvy enough to stay safe, but it never hurts to ask
Billie Sue 🌻
IT'S SO CUTE
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
Isn't it, though?? I had a feeling these two would hit it off
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
5. Obi-Wan. "not opaque, but hard to pin down" is the vibe I try to convey, so it's gratifying to see it acknowledged in someone else's observations :>
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
In canon, Vyng has lied or given half-truths about himself. But the reasons behind his secrecy don't exist in , so none of those things factor into what he says about himself in Trench
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
He just doesn't have much practice with confiding in friends and family, but it's something he's working on
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
6. Billie. asking the serious questions here
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
7. Gaia. same energy as this:
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
okay, got drafts written for the Cassandra top-level. Probably won't finish polishing those until tomorrow morning
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
in the meantime, some backthreads:
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
1. Billie. worried about the boy and his unsettling canon update
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
2. Billie. spooky demon rooster ghost is 100% something Trench would conjure up
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
3. Michael. so punny
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
4. Obi-Wan. from earlier -- I like that Vyng is lowkey playing the role of "bartender with a sympathetic ear"
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
Always felt like he'd make a great bartender. And then canon confirmed it! so that's fun
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
5. Maul. Vyng's self-compassion could still use a little work....
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
but he kinda of gets where Maul is coming from. There's only a tiny handful of people he'd accept physical contact from while on the verge of Beasthood, for example
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
and he waited until he reached a critical moment before he actually called Tuck and Billie for help
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
6. Obi-Wan. they dancing
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
(granted, Vyng will fuck it up in a couple rounds, but still ;; )
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
7. Gaia. the chickens need aromatherapy, okay
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
1. Ezra. if this were water or earth (or pretty much any other element that wasn't zappy or burny), it'd probably be a different story
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
2. Billie & Tuck. I think if Vyng ever went full beast, it'd probably be something similar to Howl here: https://imgs.plurk.com/QBq/Keo/WQxKct38SbaWwK5dzmBGn6g562s_lg.jpg
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
just with more horns and other shit growing out of him too
TroubledBlues
ohhh, that is a very cool beast mode
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
TroubledBlues : Yeah!! The hybridity of it in different stages would be fun to play with too: https://imgs.plurk.com/QBq/whk/oLF65lU7xx78y8cBTlUcZF8gQc7_lg.gif https://64.media.tumblr.com/74a11b68ea6989c7f245a0bf591b46ee/tumblr_mktu0zGErt1qg78wpo1_500.gifv
TroubledBlues
Yeah, it would be!
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
Vyng's met Trenchies who've learned to control their Beasthood through their personal relationships with others. That level of self-awareness and vulnerability is a lowkey long-term goal for him
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
3. Ezra. Still remembers Tuck shielding him from the fire in season 3 8|;;;;
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
4. Vira-Lorr.
5. Gaia. "you might enjoy working with poop." not so sure about that......
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
6. Michael. auto-mending would be pretty handy
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
*7. Oscar & Qrow. like being in a bird mech that's on autopilot, no big deal
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
*8. Makoto. he doesn't know sushi is gone yet :<
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
okay okay, let's do this
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
1. Anakin. he doesn't think of his adolescence and young adulthood as particularly free 8|;;
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
but also
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
these are included in his visuals:
https://imgs.plurk.com/QBq/kRy/x6AEClZbaCe4oypXp85hbuU2d7R_lg.jpg
https://imgs.plurk.com/QBq/veD/OEaeqIsItkUHK9oivWSX7a9Litl_lg.jpg
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
though I'd say this way of thinking applies to him too: https://imgs.plurk.com/QBq/6q2/zImfwTESc789F9AR0faK2CCUpaG_lg.jpg
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
2. Makoto. ;_; Atsushi was one of his first friends in Deerington
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
3. Michael. two people with different aesthetics lol
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
4. Billie. One thing I like about Vyng's optimism is that, many times, being positive is a conscious choice that he makes
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
It'd be easy to chalk it up to, say...denial or some need to minimize negative feelings (which is kinda how I initially interpreted him, tbh, when I first started listening)
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
But that's not really what's going on here
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
he still feels anxious and sad and depressed about certain things, and he's got his low points. but also, if he's gonna go through the shit, he may as well swim through it with faith that things will work out somehow
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
5. Billie. rip hypothetical rooster
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
6. Billie
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
okay, gonna go grab the laundry, get ready for bed, and see if I can finish cassandra TLs redux
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
TWO HOURS LATER. because that's about how long it takes to take care of:

1) showering & skin care stuff
2) physical therapy exercises
3) putting away laundry
4) straightening up the kitchen

ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
yeahhh, gonna peace out for bed. maybe I can finish cleaning it up tomorrow morning ><;;
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
*1. Cassandra TL redux finally
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
will ping relevant later once I can brain again
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
but I got a string of other tags ready to go out
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
2. Anakin. feelings....
3. Michael. where clothes can become philosophical
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
4. Billie. tuck has rooster sensitivity
5. Viktor. I actually love that they're using tech to solve this, haha
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
6. Billie. Vyng truly embraces the fact they're immortal squids now, tbh. It informs a lot of what he says and does
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
hnngh, vitamin D defiency-induced daytime sleepiness, but I WILL get caught up
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
1. Obi-Wan. he doesn't enjoy talking about the past, but he'll do it if it's in service of connecting with someone. or attempting to
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
2. Obi-Wan. he is being careful here because he doesn't wanna do anything nobody consented to
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
*3. Ezra. late!! but tag-in
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
*4. Willow. he likely has a poultice for that, but also he knows Willow has A Lot going on at any given time
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
5. Ezra. so much trauma related to his powers 8|;;;
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
6. Solokin. skywalker trauma, tho
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
7. Gaia. this is a cute thread in general
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
8. Manabu. it's not a job if you just live there, right
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
9. Makoto. he likes to think everyone takes the lessons they learn back with them to the sea
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
10. Michael. being respectable is overrated anyway
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
okay, I can focus on Cassandra stuff finally!! Tho I think I should grab some vitamins and yoghurt from next door real quick (so I can hopefully kick this fatigue to the curb sooner than later)
skipthedemon
Ezra is also very 'yep, we're all squid now'.
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
squid buds!!
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
it's really not so bad
ellie
I love that anyone can meet a Skywalker and immediately clock them
ellie
" you have a lot of guilt" "how did you know??"
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
guilt and shame, a potent combo
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
*11. Michael. more of a really intense driveby, because michael!!!!
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
Vyng just going from to to in the span of about 5 minutes
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
Billie: DPS
Tuck: Tank
Vyng: Nuclear button (that nobody really wants to use because you're probably fucking yourself over too)
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
this guy once set a library on fire while they were in it in order to force a truce
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
seeing Michael go beast is the first time Vyng's like "WELP kid gloves come off" in
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
(Aaaand that's what pushes him to shape the fire with Cloudpiercer's essence in his own TL lmao)
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
*12. Vira-Lorr. he admires VL anyway, tbh
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
*13. Obi-Wan. Got a short starter for you here MRS SEPHIROTH
MRS SEPHIROTH
oh perfect
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
He can be surprisingly pragmatic? Shrewd? In the way he leverages his inventory, personal relationships, and the environment itself to make shit happen
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
it's not often it comes up in RP, though, since I don't throw him into many crazy combat situations. Delving a little into that part of his personality is a nice change
MRS SEPHIROTH
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
14. Michael. cracked, imperfect things can be beautiful too
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
15. Solokin. talking is better than yeeting yourself into the ocean
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
16-18. Tuck. mostly moving the scene along while Vyng is knocked out
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
Tuck channeling Vyng by naming his attacks like he's some anime protag is sending me
ellie
hmmm jury's still out on that
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
Vyng's inventory on a tote bag https://imgs.plurk.com/QBq/Gmm/DvPbOBQSYelewcfICBzVfaaQ20l_lg.jpg
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
Love some of the little details, like the amethyst bottle stoppers
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
1. Makoto. he's glad they had each other
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
2. Michael. kinda wondering how agreeable Michael might become toward visible mending, if at all
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
3. Billie. vyng's gotchu, son
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
4. Billie. I really want them to do that tiny-mic animal series with Ruby now, hahah
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
5. Billie. tmw you're not sure why your kid is having nightmares about water 😬 but you have a few guesses
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
6. Manabu. Vyng has held many jobs in his life. at the same time, he tends to give the vibe of someone who's on an eternal vacation
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
also, this is from yesterday, but it's fun writing Vyng stumbling over his words or getting tangled up in an unwieldy sentence
𝕔𝕠𝕤𝕞𝕠𝕤 ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆
YEAH Michael ordinarily might not even have been that tetchy about visible mending (although a little bc he's finicky) but the corruption was already starting a little then
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
𝕔𝕠𝕤𝕞𝕠𝕤 ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆ : that makes sense!! poor michael :<
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
okay, vitamin deficiency-induced brainfog seems to be clearing up? Finally? even tho I'm running on 6 hours sleep rn, I'm feeling surprisingly good
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
1. Willow. all puns are welcome at Trenchwood Farm
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
(I'll never forget that time in canon where their ship is about to sink, Vyng sees Billie strapped to Tuck in a baby bjorn, and he just shouts "B-b-b-bjorn to be wild!!!" like he just bumped into them at a party instead of while they're getting hunted down by a literal demon god)
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
2. Manabu. it makes total sense that people cook-outs would be a summertime Trench activity
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
3. Michael. I keep reminding myself this convo is happening while Michael wears these bright farm duds, and I love it
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
4. Vira-Lorr. that is a seriously dope item, though
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
if Vyng were a dog https://imgs.plurk.com/QBq/tQn/rhhUy4QMt4bLpH8wzRHZAQPx9ng_lg.png
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
1. Gaia. and that's a wrap
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
2. Solokin. being sort of a mom rn
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
3. Manabu. I'm looking forward to them meeting Jun eventually :>
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
4. Billie. sometimes his wordplay is the worst
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
5. Makoto. tiger stripes
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
6. Michael. he cannot think of a reason that would be a feature. maybe a literal bug, but....
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
7. Billie. this is absolutely the kind of canon where terminology like "dick monster" and "piss monster" will appear during genuinely serious, heartfelt conversations
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
https://imgs.plurk.com/QBq/BVm/1jPCqUucwCsmKS58bAeOnVd5pnL_lg.jpg
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
fun fact: Tuck is named after Tacoma Dome, Billie is named after Jessica Tai's cat
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
and Vyng's name is basically the equivalent of "Vegas Las Foxtrot" but slightly less obvious
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
(He was originally supposed to be bard, and then got switched to Druid at the last possible second lmao)
ellie
he will tolerate being mommed
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
ellie : everyone needs a little momming sometimes
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
1. Michael. everything's fine here, clearly (unsure)
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
2. Makoto. Googled whether it was true that cats could see human stripes. It pains me to report that it is, apparently, bunk
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
(humans do have invisible stripes, tho)
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
3. Manabu. "nightwalker" out of context sounds scary in a place like Trench
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
4. Willow. did you get shot or not? gotta commit to the bit, man!
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
5. Billie. Wicker is best cat
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
6. Billie. he usually has the benefit of forgetting anything that threatens to make him grow up before he's ready :-(
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
I'm out of town on business, which is why I've been quiet
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
cobbled together some tags today, tho
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
from earlier https://images.plurk.com/Os3lYDDjSi6B5L2X42GaE.png
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
2. Makoto. he will be happy to hear about the eventual tattoo
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
3. Manabu. "drama"
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
4. Michael. as an aside, it's fun how wildly the concept of "demons" varies between canons
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
5. Willow. "it's my fault reaper burned down my house" not if reaper was the one who burned down the house dkljfsf
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
6. Tuck & Billie. this is equal parts wholesome and upsetting
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
7. Obi-Wan. learning how to cure beasthood is objectively more useful, and yet 8|;;
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
actually while I'm thinking about it: Does Obi-Wan know about the beasthood-curing sword Ezra got from The Doorway? MRS SEPHIROTH
MRS SEPHIROTH
Iiii am not sure. I don't think so
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
lmao okay then, time to........figure out plan B
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
I guess I assumed he knew because it helped sever Anakin's bond with Maul
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
my bad
MRS SEPHIROTH
nah it's fine. I don't think it's a stretch for him to know it, but I don't recall a discussion icly. unless my memory is failing me. I think it would make sense for him to know that though. I just don't think I handled much of that fallout, he had other anakin issues to deal with lmao
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
Up to you
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
If not, i'll put out feelers for anyone who wasn't dead or incapacitated a month ago, who can help
MRS SEPHIROTH
let me reach out to lis first and get back to you
skipthedemon
We did not have an onscreen IC discussion but then...most of the resolution to that did not get on screen. :-/ I feel certain Ezra would have said something.
MRS SEPHIROTH
skipthedemon : yeah I feel that tracks
skipthedemon
And Ezra is trying to learn how to calm Beasthood as part of Sanctuary stuff, I just...also haven't done much onscreen with that.
MRS SEPHIROTH
yeah,,,, I feel u
skipthedemon
ANyway, I really meant to toss Ezra at that log in general and give you permission to call him in here, if you want!
MRS SEPHIROTH
\o/
skipthedemon
(It's not putting pressure. it's helping me get over my brainweases of doing things 'too late')
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
skipthedemon fwiw, I'm still slowly tagging out in that log. no such things as "too late"! July had lots of content, and I think a lot of people are kinda easing back into things
