the first time the crinkle tinkles start and we get the first part of crystal kingdom
bad luck
the urgency in the narrators voice at the beginning of ep. 64 when they say “We’re almost caught up now. Do you understand yet?”
IT THRIVES
“she thinks of her friends and she prays for sunrise”
“don’t let them erase me. don’t let them make the world forget.”
line in the ground
the “this is it” monologue, underscored with farewell by reeder
“hear that, babe? we’re legends.”
“see, there’s magic in a bard’s song. they call it inspiration.”
“… who?”
• …Sturdy…Demin…Blue
“Merle, I… I tell the trees when to shed their leaves, and I make every piece of fruit taste the way that it tastes, and I taught every blade of grass in the ground where to grow. Did you really think I had forgotten about you?”
Pride and glory are the true enemies of strength, Magnus.
When Magnus FINALLY learns to ask for help
“When someone leaves your life, those exits are not made equal. Some are beautiful and poetic and satisfying. Others are abrupt and unfair. But most are just unremarkable, unintentional, and clumsy.”
Those are the arms that have held my wife.
“How would you like to live forever?” “I’d hate it. Shut the fuck up.”
Magnus begs to be killed so he won’t forget Julia
Griffin going “And taako, you unlock your seatbelt” when he’s about to throw himself off the race cars
“Honestly, I think it’s a conscious choice. I think you choose joy.”
“I can’t feel anything. I’m not hungry, my heart doesn’t beat— do you understand?”
“Oh, I know what he’s gonna do! Magnus, Edward is going to make a check to see if he can rip one of your fucking arms off.”
Imagine thinking your spouse is a sexy secret agent for decades only to find out he’s a restaurant critic for fat tire boy magazine
Better yet imagine a real spy getting in trouble and mistaking a restaurant critic for a fellow agent. But the critic takes their job very seriously and won’t reveal themselves and so gets pulled into some kind of huge dangerous conspiracy whilst continuing to take notes on the quality of every restaurant they almost get shot in.
I have this really stupid and terrible Stolen Century headcanon that during one cycle Barry decides to grow a full beard and almost every other member of the IPRE fucking hates it. (It doesn’t look BAD, exactly, it’s just you get used to someone’s face looking a certain way once youve known them for almost a hundred years and its WEIRD)
The crew begs him to shave it off for months. He refuses because Lup thinks it’s cute.
Davenport: Barry, that beard is against IPRE regulation.
Barry: Since when? Merle and Magnus also have beards?
Davenport: Since… … Uh… … … Please?
He looks over Lucretia’s shoulder and she’s drawn a little cartoony illustration of him in one of her journals and written “INCORRECT” underneath it in big block letters.
Magnus: Barry I love you and you’re my family and you’re perfect but I can’t stand your face right now and I refuse to look at it
Taako leaves a straight razor on his bed and he’s not sure if it’s a gift or a threat.
Merle: Who the fuck are you?
(No one can tell if Merle is joking.)
Lup: ♥‿♥
Sorry to hijack this and ruin it with terrible formatting but these were so good and I was inspired and had to doodle all of them:
OH MY GOD!!
♥ ♥

I LOVE THIS SO SO MUCH AAAHAHA
This, but That Mullet?
THIS BUT MULLET
[Start ID: The Adventure Zone fanart comic that shows Barry with glasses and a beard. And each of the ipre team confronting him about it. Davenport, a short gnome man with a mustache and well-kept Hair Says: “ Barry, that beard is against ipre regulation.” Barry says: “ since when? Merle Magnus have beards.” Davenport says: “…. Please”
Lucretia is sitting on a couch, she has her feet tucked up under her and a short haircut and writing in a journal, barry looks over her shoulder and in the journal she’s drawing a picture of him with a beard and arrows pointing to him saying in all caps: “Incorrect”
Magnus is wearing sunglasses and a tank top and approaches Barry and says with his hands out: “ Barry I love you, you’re my family, and you’re perfect but I can’t stand your face right now, and I refuse to look at it.”
Barry finds a fork with a note from taako that reads: “I will fucking disown you”
Merle has a long beard and glasses and its standing in front of plants Barry walks up behind him and says: “ morning Merle!” Merle says: “… Who are you?”
Lup has short hair and is wearing a tank top she stands behind Barry and Barry says: “ I don’t know, I’m thinking about shaving-” Lup cut him off and kiss him on the mouth and then says intensely: “ no.”
Charles Dickens was a crazy son of a botch who like was a master of writing long ass novels no one past the year 1960 had the time to read and of writing really compelling memorable characters. And like I remember this from a speech the greatest lit teacher ever gave me so bear with me here. Dickens’s characters were always well characterized partly bc that dude was super good at character voices. He was great at writing unique character dialogue. Like stupidly great. One of the things he would do was give each of his characters little catchphrases to fall back onto. They say it a few times and yeah man. That sure is one great sounding character Charlie
The point I’m trying to make here is that Justin fucking McElroy does the exact same thing. Taako you know from tv. Augustus Parsons the spectral form of the man who was once known as Augustus Parsons of the Augustus Parsons Cashew Company. Duck Newton it’s a nickname. Modern day charlie dickens if that wordy mf talked into a microphone instead of making me deal with Scrooge what’s his face every holiday session I rest my case.
