Purple Hyacinth 102: Calculated Crash (with Fwoot and Somni) Jul 27, 2021

Show notes

We open the episode with a frightening adjurement to a circus-tattooed person to capture (only) one of the Lune members alive.

While Lauren marvels at Kieran's sharpshooting ability, he pulls her to safety and freaks out over her being shot. We freak out over him freaking out and his face touch! And her hand touch when she tries to calm him down. We theorize that Kieran is traumatized with what happened to his protectee. Regardless, their connection is strengthening and we are in love.

While Lauren and Kieran decide to go save the day, Will and Kym are trying to save Lukas, who hasn't lost his sharp tongue.

The PS member takes advantage of Lauki's catwalk, and shoots some piping straight down, separating the catwalk and our beloved couples.

Both Lauren and Kym urge their partner to go on, promising to reunite... And we all know what happens to dramatic promises made in times of crisis.

Recorded in Barcelona, Spain.

Purple Hyacinth 36: Impeached Innocence (with Bundin, Fwoot and Krystine) Jul 25, 2021

Show notes

With Lauren flat on the ground, Kieran presses his advantage to make the best joke ever.

Lauren, being Lauren, insists that she can walk after her three story fall, but unsurprisingly, she can't. Nevertheless, when Kieran swoops her off her feet, she repays him for his kindness by bashing her head against his.

Eventually, she calms down enough for them to have a conversation while she is piggybacking on his back across Ardhalis. She tells him of her discovery that Harvey was a spy, and Kieran shares possible reasons for Harvey joining, something that shows us his sympathetic and understanding side.

After Lauren nearly falls asleep, Kieran dumps her, because they have arrived at.... his apartment.

Midnight Poppy Land 68: Hot Professor (with Myrna and Tanya) Jul 24, 2021

Show notes

Tora comes barging in, knocking over our poor PTSD Jacob. Erdene tells them where Poppy went, and Tora immediately propels himself out of there, ponytail flying.

Erdene and Quincy have a silent exchange, until Quincy reveals that he told Erdene something the day before. What it is, we aren't sure.

They meet at a cafe, where, perhaps being eavesdropped on by an orange-hatted fellow, Quincy drops the bomb that Poppy's life may be in danger. Did Erdene know something more, or does she think it's only Julri, whom she and Jacob squabble over?

In any case, Quincy decides to let them in on more info, starting off with what he and Tora are involved in...

Meanwhile, Poppy is on the train, with no reception and no battery (of course). She is reviewing her texts, and we see that she felt comfortable enough to invite Tora to Moonbright, which is great given how horribly Julri treated her, as we can see in Poppy's flashback. WE. HATE. JULRI. But we love that this story is about healing and growth.

Our final scene shows us a family emerging from a lovely house numbered 31, with Mommy blushing for Professor Tora (insert all corny jokes here). Tora is confused, looking at a text from Ronzo telling him this is Poppy's address, and we speculate on all kinds of theories.

Recorded in Kog Aan De Zaan, Netherlands.

Let's Play 130: Broken Mask (with Carter and Krystine) Jul 20, 2021

Show notes

We flashback to Marshall’s childhood, where we see the pressure his father places on both siblings. Eva is clearly under a lot of pressure, and Marshall takes on the role of goofball to make his mom feel better.

Unfortunately, the mental burden takes its toll, and Benji’s face cracks. Who is he? Marshall, or Benji? Whoever he is, it’s clear his father doesn’t value him, and in fact, crushes him.

Marshall wakes up, shaken, but luckily, able to call his mother for comfort.

Purple Hyacinth 101: Scarce Seconds (with Emma and Fwoot) Jul 20, 2021

Show notes

What a chapter! As some had speculated, turns out it wasn't one our buddies getting shot. It was DILF/Ratman/Cal/the person Soph made us think was super important but wasn't. We think. Lauren quickly grabs a gun and shoots a threat, finally seeing who it was that saved them: none other than our resident grumpy cat, Lukas Randall 😍, looking badass in a helmet. Lune and Soleil head their separate directions, and Kym begins firing. At long last (a suspicious long last?), the APD bursts in through the front door. A dispatcher gets shot and nitro is being thrown. Kieran urges Lauren to leave, and whilst doing so, sees blood on her face and freaks out, touching her face. Are we melting? We are melting? Did Lauren also have to put her hand on his shoulder to shove him out of the way and save his life? Yes, she did. Did she also keep her hand there for a bit.? Why, yes to that, too. Lauren and Kieran decide to go stop the nitro grenade throwers, but before they can, Lukas and Kym get attacked by PS members bursting in through the roof. Lukas gets shot and falls atop Kym. They are quickly surrounded by PS members aiming to kill. Lauren runs back to shoot the PS members, but gets shot herself. Upon seeing her fall, Will closes his eyes helplessly while Kym, a fighter to the end, struggles to get the gun out of her face. We think all is lost until we see someone dispatch 5 quick headshots, eliminating all 5 PS members, standing in a cloud of dust. And who is the person so proficient at using a gun who saved the lives of Lauren's friends? The gun-denying, wounded mandarin Kieran White. *** 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗛𝘆𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗻: https://www.webtoons.com/en/mystery/purple-hyacinth/list?title_no=1621&page=1 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗦𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗼𝗻: https://www.patreon.com/sophism 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆𝗧𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗼𝗻: https://www.patreon.com/thestorytinker 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗰𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱: https://discord.gg/bV2JQSg 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆𝗧𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀: https://www.instagram.com/thestorytinker/ https://www.facebook.com/thestorytinker 𝗔𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗧𝘂𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀: 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆, 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲, 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲!

Purple Hyacinth 35: Free Fall (with Bundin, Fwoot, and Krystine) Jul 18, 2021

Show notes

Flemmings opens the door, enters his room, and, much to sweating Lauren's anxiety, retrieves the documents from under his bed... where Lauren happens to be hiding. He cocks his gun and Lauren thinks she's done for, but luckily, he merely leaves the room.

When he is gone, Lauren looks at the report and receives a shock.

Back at the bar, Bella reveals the information that Lauren is now uncovering... that Harvey was a spy.

Flemmings returns, and Lauren once again panics, trying to find a place to hide. She chooses to suspend herself on a branch out the window, and sadly for her, also falls down to the ground, thwacking her way down.

On the ground, she is met by Kieran, who displays the most comforting and understanding behavior.

Midnight Poppy Land 67: High Suspicions (with Debbie and Veronica) Jul 17, 2021

Show notes

If we thought Gil was sus before, we certainly think it now! His conversation with his wife triggers all kinds of alarms, as does his cold demeanor upon reminiscing. Is he planning on using Poppy as a scapegoat for his crimes?

Poppy, meanwhile, is trying to validate Julri's text. When her search uncovers no verification, she is forced to call the unknown number, where she is met with the most gaslighting, manipulative, and narcissistic piece of garbage known to mankind. Thankfully, though, Poppy gives him exactly what he deserves. Go, girl! She vents her frustrations much like Tora did, but with no strawberry tie to stop her.

She heads back to the office to part, and Erdene acts very strangely. Why did she offer to come with her? Why didn't she answer Poppy? What does she know? Who is the "we"?

Also, we appreciate Jacob. Clueless, but affirming. The episodes ends with a very intimidating hulk knocking Jacob over, wanting to know where his Poppy is.

Recorded in Paris.

Show notes

Kieran and Bella engage in a conversation filled with hidden threats, shows of bravado, and vague references.

Meanwhile, Lauren is searching for evidence in Flemmings' room, and finds suspicious red stains on his coat, as well as circus tickets.

Bella reveals that she is actually a double agent and really working for the leader, who is keeping an eye on A7's covert operation. Kieran does some fishing about Harvey's death.

Back in the room, Lauren has found documents beneath Flemmings' bed.

Unfortunately for her, he happens to be returning at that very moment.
