Purple Hyacinth 120: Dreaded Dress Up (with Bundin)
May 31, 2022 01:31 - 54 minutes - 49.7 MBAs Kieran and Lauren dress in circus costumes, they theorize as to the Messenger's identity. Lauren (and the fandom) sneaks a peak at Kieran's bruised back while wincing from her wounds. Kieran shows us incredible insight into Will, himself, and Lauren. We stan. We also stan how they look in circus costumes, especially after Kieran takes the opportunity to pull Lauren close and paint makeup on her face. Totally... necessary. We hear a little more about the agreement between Kieran...

May 28, 2022 01:00 - 51 minutes - 23.5 MBQuincy tries to force Poppy into a very sexy maid outfit, and ends up being punished to wear it instead, along with some humiliating signs. He struggles not to slap Poppy's butt as she did to him, and we discuss his attraction to Poppy and what it means. After dinner, Tora and Quincy discuss the mafia situation, and Poppy is so taken by Tora's competence that she drools. Damien is guarding Erdene (with all of his heart), and Gyu is with Jacob. Yadori shows Nicholas and his gang a photo...

May 24, 2022 11:34 - 58 minutes - 26.9 MBPoppy decides she wants to return Tora's favor by working as a housekeeper, to which Quincy responds with an odd gleam in his eye. Tora returns with an ominous face and pulls out Gil's files. We see that Gyu texted him that none other than Yadori and his crew have been by Poppy's apartment. Poppy spends all day cleaning and then runs looking for Tora to tell him something. They're about to have a moment when scheming Quincy comes in, with a Cheshire grin, holding something special for ...

May 24, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 41.3 MBTurns out we fans aren't the only ones suspecting Dakan and Tristan (ok, we cleared him) of Phantom Scythe involvement. Lisbeth, Stephan, Mr. Goatee, and Albert Einstein also do. Aaaaand in an ironic twist, Stephan is royal spymaster. We discuss some theories concerning Raphael and Stephan. There are more than enough spies to go around. Wouldn't you know, Neyra was in a secret passageway, spying on the the meeting through a hole in King Edward's eye? Cute little Arthur finds her and we do...
Purple Hyacinth 118: Valuable Visitor (with Fwoot and Joy)
May 17, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 41.2 MBThe APD is pulling overtime shifts; Kym is working hard and Will is being oddly supportive, going so far as to make a joke! This gets the overtired Kym apoplectic, and Will drags her to the infirmary, where they share a meaningful conversation. Kym talks about the Phantom Scythe's goals and methods, and Will worries about his family being the PS's next target, the perfect opportunity for us to do some speculation. Kym comforts him and we share a totally shippy moment. More shippiness ...
Purple Hyacinth 117: Personal Promises (with Emily C and Lily)
May 10, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 82.9 MBThe patrol unit walks through a protest, and Lauren feels faint. Will notices, and wants her to take care of herself because, as he emotionally unburdens himself, he can't handle being the only one left. Lauren gives him a well deserved hug. Walking through the protest is blue-haired pronouns, whom we discover is called Ms. Green and is an actress/screenwriter. We stan. Meanwhile, the leader and Apostle IV are discussing both Apostle VII and Kieran, both of whom are on thin ice.. The l...

May 07, 2022 01:00 - 57 minutes - 52.5 MBPoppy ruminates over Tora's kindness, and opens the door expecting him but getting a sunny faced Quincy, who asks about the food outside. When they notice the maybe ghost (Ulaan and Yuwa? Tora? Intruder?) has written "Go," they offer it more palatable food and ingratiate themselves to it. Tora, thoughtfully installing solar lights in the garden, watches them and thinks wistfully of how their first encounter would have gone had he not been in the mafia. His heart-tugging reverie is inte...

May 03, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 54.1 MBKieran is trapped in a nightmare, where Lauren dies and it’s all his fault. It’s happened once, and we speculate how. The rune makes an appearance and Kieran’s guilt is apparent. Another man contemplates his trauma while sitting on his bed. Will remembers pleasant childhood memories with Lauren and Dylan, then thinks back to the day of the train station attack, the day Raphael seems to have left him as well. He was there and acting responsibly even as a child. Kym is reliving the factory e...

April 26, 2022 01:00 - 2 hours - 76.6 MBAn unknown person is speaking to Messenger VII, telling them that they are taking over the operations. We wonder whether this person is working for the leader or for Apostle VII’s supporters. They leave the messenger with new directives.

Bella has just used this venom to kill Ryan Flemmings, apparently angrily. We speculate why. Kieran and Bella share an od...
