"You, You Know What, No. I’m, I’m Done With That. No More Paranoia. It’s Almost Got Me Killed More

A statement from Italy read by Martin? Fuck yes.

I can't even get angry at a wrong pronunciation as I usually would, I physically can't.

Everytime he says something in italian wrong I just say: "No sweetie❤️".

And everytime he says something right I just go into cardiac arrest.

With Nastya not having a death in DTTM... And the whole mechanisms running on belief.... She never stopped believing she was immortal.

Nastya finds Brian's body first, and she's certain he's just glitching, just stuck in some sort or statis.

She doesn't think he's dead, because the more logical explanation here is that somehow he ended up in space, and its been awhile. Clearly it's a mix between the trauma he already has from space and the harsh environment, and if she fixes him, he'll wake up.

That's how it's always worked.

And that's how it does.

He wakes up gasping and wheezing, gears spinning to life as his heart continues to best beat beat

He explains everything to her, but he's alive, his gears are spinning, and he figures he was never really dead.

The new truth is they can come close to dying, but never cross that line.

They can brush against death, but never sink into it.

Someone will always wake them up.

The first time it was the doctor for many of them, and with their shared belief that they arnt actually dead, the second they are torn into the living by Brian and Nastya, and whoever for up before them.

The universe has more stories for them to tell, and the lull in belief was just a new arc of their tales.

They wake up Jonny last, because no one is sure they really should, a long time after the others.

Ashes brings up he only got so truely desperate to die after Nastya left, gestures at Nastya, who shrinks a bit.

Tim remarks that he forgave Jonny got being selfish and bringing him back once already, and honestly its just fucking karma.

But since they all believe themselves immortal, that they cannot die. Only come tantalizingly close (exept the ever doubtful Marius) they believe that they will wake up from this. They believe that Jonny will wake up from this.

So Jonny's hand breaks through the dirt of his grave, and a particularly pissed off Jonny D'ville drags himself from the earth. "Why the fuck did you assholes let them bury me?"

Some may argue that Russel doesn’t get enough love from fans, but his bandmates sure appreciate him.

So, just finished the Penumbra Podcast episode 18

AND OH MY FUCK I WILL PUNCH YOU IN YOUR PRIVATE EYE, JUNO STEEL.

Lanyon: I'm threatening you--

Hyde: You sure you're not trying to seduce me, daddy?

Lanyon: What?

Hyde: what

So, I hate Elias Bouchard with a burning passion. He hurt poor Melanie, he hurt poor Martin, light of my life, committed multiple MURDERS (even if Leitner kinda deserved it, the rest PROBABLY DIDN'T), and overall, traumatized the entire cast just by existing.

Imagine my joy to hear him getting beaten at the end of season 3.

As many of my friends say: "Better than an orgasm."

Little Things in Novel A I'll Never Recover From:

Deuce having a conversation with a skeleton.

Ace being over the top respectful to Banshee to the point where he's apologizing to her when she's not even there.

Skull addressing Ace and Deuce as "master" (idk why he does it but it's rly cute).

The precious heart to heart between Deuce and Whitebeard 🥺 (Deuce becomes one of his favorite sons and no one can tell me otherwise).

How Whitebeard gets all ashamed when he burns his hand in the same spot and is only worried about Deuce being disappointed in him.

Ace and Deuce's attempted ferris wheel date.

The part where Mihal only ever leaves his cabin when something might be wrong with Ace (the crew loves him 🥺 so fucking much).

How Deuce is super defensive when the crew reads over his shoulder as he's writing, but is way nicer when it's Wallace (cuz Wallace is learning to read and it's like Deuce is actively making sure he doesn't discourage him which is so sweet).

Deuce taking haki coated kicks to the stomach multiple times just so he can break Dorrow's flame throwers in order to save Ace.

Dine and dash.

Thatch and Ace becoming insanely close friends and drinking buddies even BEFORE Ace joined the crew.

Flower Crowns 💐🥰💐🥰💐

When Ace shared sake with Whitebeard 🥺🥺🥺 (that whole cup exchange actually).

Everyone on the Spades panicking because they have no faith in Ace and are worried he may light a Celestial Dragon on fire if he's left alone to wander (which is, let's be honest, very fair).

Ace being an absolute fucking DISASTER of a man when he meets Shanks and tries to thank him for saving Luffy.

Ace: For I am but a humble country boy-

Shanks: What in the fuck...?

(Honey plz talk like a normal person I'm-)

Shanks figuring out who Ace's father is in .2 seconds because he's literally that smart.

Deuce heel kicking a bounty hunter over the ship railing (a jealous and protective boi :3).

Banshee: Are you sure this is okay?

Ace: Yeah it was Deuce's idea.

(BABY IS LISTENING TO HIS BOYFREN TO THE LETTER. Also the implication that Ace still and will always go to Deuce for advice and to help with plans even though they're part of Whitebeard's crew. It's just... so pure and romantic).

Kotatsu growling at Blackbeard 👌

Deuce fully prepared to DRAG Ace away from the battle with Jimbei after he collapses.

Deuce and Ace are in love bye.

reasons why i wish corazon was still around:

1. so law can scream whenever he wants

2. PIGGYBACK RIDES

An animated sequence inspired by a JonMartin post by @archivistbot

Jon and Martin are sat down, Martin with his arms wrapped around Jon's shoulders and Jon in his lap.

Jon is a bespectacled skinny Indian man who is wearing a puffy-sleeved blouse and long skirt., while Martin is a fat white man in a cozy turtleneck and who is also wearing spectacles.

Captioned next to him is the word "It's..." as he lifts his hands in a shrug-like gesture. He then pauses and brings his left finger to rest under his nose, thinking. After the hesitation, he continues with his palms open for emphasis "...hard to put into WORDS how it feels...", and drifts off as he dips his head in shy laughter. He looks up endearingly at Martin, who has rested his cheek on Jon's head, eyes closed and a contented smile spread across his face. Jon rests his left hand on Martin's arm, still hugging onto him, and closes his eyes to savour the moment as he says "...to be in Love.".

"I have to say it's...it's wonderful."

I Did!! A Thing!!!

I saw @archivistbot's post and decided to animate it to pass the dread hours. Here's some fluff before the final blow.

Good luck to all of us.
