exoplanet post-finale discussion
this is a post that goes over some things that i briefly touched on in the tags/mentions some plot points i wasn't able to expand upon! SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS after the cut. so dont look unless u want it to be spoiled
ok so! i want to first of all start out by thanking everyone reading/the ellie community this for being so patient and wonderful and just lovely in general! writing long fics can be so draining for me, especially when i start making poor plot choices and start writing parts that are over 10k words (i at least have the decency to be ashamed of it). i hope that you all have enjoyed reading p7/the rest of the series. i did want to offer a little more elaboration on some points/why i made some of the plot choices that i did. so spoilers under the cut!
petra
petra's character might seem super random, and it's because she actually used to play a much bigger role in this story. my original outline included petra actually coming back to jackson as well as a few cutscenes away to her time working at a bourbon plant in kentucky, detailing exactly how the goods were contaminated/how they actually got past quality control. i cut these scenes bc i was like literally no one came to read about this random oc.
how did terranova get infected (in other words: what petra's story would've told)
she used to have a monologue talking about how everyone in the plants—even the commanding officers—were frustrated with the poor conditions and managed to infect weaker members, tie them up, and drop their saliva into the vats of aging bourbon. this slipped past quality control because you'll recall that 1) the prices were skyrocketing in terranova and 2) there was a festival that involved hella drinking. petra was supposed to explain that since the prices of liquor were so high and quality control could be overly cautious, flagged bottles were smuggled off by guards and sold in a black market. so that's why it was so fast/why it got through the borders!
why didnt u write a smut scene between ellie and y/n smh
i honestly planned to—i had a whole scene where y/n has her little top moment, but i just couldnt integrate it into the last final scenes. to me it just felt too much for ellie to be like yes im opening up 2 u emotionally....now lets fuck in the span of like 20 mins when they hadn't been speaking beforehand. and also i think it speaks to how ellie kind of used sex to put distance between them in the first few parts and tried to avoid any sort of emotional intimacy, so this was a big step for her. also if i were y/n id be sleepy as hellllll at that point and would not have the wrist stamina for any sort of activities that didn't involve tucking into bed after the day she's had!
what next?
so of course there's the epilogue, but that doesn't have to be all. i was thinking of writing an alternate ending that adheres more firmly to tlou 2 canon and involves joel's death + ellie's spiral, where y/n actually chooses to leave terranova with dina to try to find her once she hears from her father about a girl with a fern tattoo that's causing a disturbance just a bit south of terranova. i didn't want that to be the actually legit ending, because i do think it's important for ellie's conscience to know that she's not keeping y/n from somewhere safer.
so in conc: epilogue for sure, maybe an alternate ending, and potentially a few "deleted scenes" (including the smut scene i cut)
why did you choose to do that to terranova instead of having ellie find her or y/n leave?
ellie was never going to terranova to get y/n because she'd never try to take her from there unless she had a genuine belief that she'd be better off outside. so i suppose that there could've been a storyline about ellie finding out about terranova possibly getting infected, but idk how she would know that when communication is so private and tommy wasn't even able to get in contact with any terranovan authorities with his connections.
i didn't go with my alternate ending idea where y/n actually chooses to leave, partly because of ellie and mostly because i felt like terranova needed to get blown up anyway. i was hoping that part of the message i sent with this was that overconsumption is never sustainable and that it will always have consequences, and terranova falling apart because of and not in spite of its resources and suppliers seemed like a good way to get the job done!
this may not be something anyone is particularly interested in but if you have any questions about any things i didn't cover in the finale, feel free to ask ! now that the actual plot is mostly complete and i can't really spoil anything, i have a lot more flexibility with answering things!

TWO DOCTORS: Tenth Doctor
Pairing: Tenth Doctor x OC, Platonic!Donna x OC,
Warnings: Daleks, Davros, lots of unwarranted jealousy from both Rose and Vera. I left out the sad Donna bit at the end because its already so long and that bit is too sad for me to write (yet)
Summary: The last episode of Season 4, Journeys End rewrite but with Vera and a very jealous Rose
Word Count: 3.5K
Tumblr media
Somehow, there were two Doctors. I’d missed the explanation for it, if there had been one at all. I wouldn’t have been surprised if there hadn’t been one. The situation seemed way too tense to stop and explain something that didn’t seem too important. I hope I wasn’t the only one that didn’t have a clue of what was going on. 
I hadn’t been in the universe. I hadn’t been in this time, and I had no clue how I had been brought here, but one second I was on a different planet, talking to someone about some random topic, just learning and exploring like I always did, and the next I was on the floor of a ship. 
Both Doctors were standing over at the side of the room. It was murky and horrid wherever we were. I didn’t know much. But I knew that the Daleks were back. They survived. Somehow they survived, and that was the main thing.
Everyone on Gallifrey had heard of Davros, even before the Time War began, and now, he stood above me, snarling down at me.
“Last of the Timelords, huh, Doctor?” Davros teases, looking up and over to him. 
The Doctor steps forward, as far as he could in his bubble, snarling over to Davros. “Don’t you touch her Davros, don’t you dare.”
The girl standing next to him had her eyebrows furrowed. I didn’t recognise her, and the Doctor had introduced me to every companion he’d met. She turned to the Doctor and spoke. “Doctor, who is she?”
“Ah. Yes.” He spoke, hesitant. “Vera, this is Rose Tyler, a… friend. Rose, this is Vera Rubato, my wife.”
Rose’s eyes went wide, turning to the Doctor with a facial expression that I could decipher as only disgust or jealousy. Maybe he had had a thing with her before he met me. I wasn’t fussed, but it was a little confusing. Why hadn’t I met her? Why hadn’t he even mentioned her before?
Either way, I was his wife. She wasn’t.
Davros spoke again, drawing our attention away from each other. “Stand up, Miss Rubato.”
I did what he told me to, since I wasn’t in the mood to regenerate, but as soon as I did, a barrier zoomed around me, similar to what both Doctor’s were held in, locking us in. “Will someone tell me what the hell is going on, please?”
“God, shut up, there are more important things.” 
The Doctor, my Doctor, holds a hand out, as if he was stopping Rose from pushing her way out of the invisible prison and starting a fist fight with me. “Rose, not right now.”
I watched as she crossed her arms over her chest and grumbled. There was a slight smile on my face, which he definitely noticed. 
Davros drove forward, facing the Doctor, a wicked grin on his wrinkled face. “Two girls. Two Doctors. What do I do with this?”
And then, just as I was about to butt in and ruin Davros’ monologue, the Tardis doors swing open. Finally, someone I knew, someone I could trust storms out.
“I’ve got you Doctor! Don’t worry!” And Donna Noble reaches down and picks up the gun on the floor. I hadn’t even noticed it was there, too busy with the rest of the surroundings. Chances were, it was the most important thing here, and could save everything. Or at least save what was at risk. I still hadn’t gotten an explanation. 
But she wasn’t fast enough. 
Davros spun and zapped Donna, throwing her to the side of the room, behind machinery that looked important. There was nothing anyone could do. Both the Doctor and I would have been running towards her, and I could hear him shouting beside me, but she wasn’t getting up. She was out cold. 
Not even Timelords can survive Daleks, let alone humans. I didn’t want to think about that. I didn’t want to think about that at all. We had no choice but to continue. The Doctor was angrier than he was before, which I didn’t think possible. I could hear him shout at Davros, words and insults I wanted to say but didn’t have the energy. 
“That’s it!” Davros cried, a gleeful grin with such a wicked undertone painted on his face, looking at the Doctor with a horrid awe. “Show your companions who you really are. The wrath of the timelord!” 
“Doctor.” Rose’s murmur was quiet. I wasn’t even talking.
“Watch, faithful companions, as the man you thought was honourable and honest, and kind to everyone he meets, watch as he becomes the very thing he swears not to be. A killer. A murderer. The murderer of the timelords. This is who he really is and as much as he can try to hide it, this is who he is, and who he will always be.” Davros monologues, snarling at the Doctor whose facial expression was worse than anger, worse than hatred or loathing. 
I knew what this did to him. I knew how these words affected him and how much remorse he felt for what he had done in the past. I knew he regretted what he did to Gallifrey, and so did Davros, but this time, he was using it against the Doctor. An action that made my heart burn with a similar anger. 
“Doctor, don’t listen to him.” I whispered across, hoping he could hear me over all the noise in his mind. All the voices that were yelling insecurities at him. But it was like he couldn’t hear me. Like all the noise was too much or that he was so angry at Davros - rightfully so - that he wasn’t in tune with the world, blinded by the white hot anger that Davros had plagued him with.
No longer was I concentrating on Donna, or the other Doctor, or the fact that Rose somehow thought she had a right to my Doctor over me. Or even Martha, and the few other people, Jack, and more I didn’t recognise. All I wanted to do was help him. Break out of this god-forsaken prison and help him. 
But maybe he was the only one that could save us; because Donna was alive.
I could see her from the corner of my eye, stepping up from behind the large machine, using the metal to pull her up. The frown left my sight at my friend, who I could tell had changed. Something was different: I didn’t know what, but something had changed, and that something might just be the thing we needed to save her. The frown left my lips, replaced by a smirk that I failed to hold back. Davros noticed, though.
“What?” He asked, driving away from the attention of the Doctor and back in front of me, as close as he could get with me trapped in the prison.
I smiled, shrugging and crossing my arms across my chest, spotting the Doctor’s frown from my peripheral vision. “Nothing.”
It was evident I’d struck a nerve by not explaining my sudden change in expression, but then again, that was the point. I watched as Davros drove away from us. I had also made the Doctor, both Doctor’s, mad for provoking Davros, but I had a plan.
It wasn’t a very good plan at the moment, but it was something.
“Enough!” Davros shouted, driving further and sitting in front of an unnamed Dalek that didn’t even have a shell anymore. I didn’t want to think about how he had gotten into that state. “The plan will come into place, there is nothing stopping them and now that I have you all captured, I have no need for you to all be alive.”
“You brought us all here just to kill us?” Rose shouts.
“Kill them!” Davros orders, ignoring Rose and pointing in our direction.
The grin on my lips only grew asI settled on my left hip and arms crossed as the rest of the panicked. As the Daleks were about to drive over to us to kill us, I looked over at Donna who smiled and winked at me. 
“Dalek control? Hacked.” She grinned, flicking a switch in the machine. 
Immediately, the Daleks started spinning around in circles, unable to control themselves and where they went. Everyone, including both Doctor’s, started laughing at the sight.
Donna flicks yet another switch. “Prison barriers down!”
And the blue barriers surrounding us fall, letting us out. Donna lets out a shout as we start running towards her. 
“Donna!” The Doctor shouts, still grinning and laughing. “But you can’t even change a plug?”
“That was a two-way metacrisis; half human, half Timelord!” She grins, and even I can spot that little bit of the Doctor in her, especially as her eyes frantically move and dart about in a way that is so the Doctor. “But I got the best part of him. I got his mind.”
I smirked, looking over to my Doctor. “Best part? You sure?”
The Doctor’s face dropped, enjoying the comment but not wanting to show it, a half smirk on his lips and that subtly flirtatious look in his eyes that I hoped no one else could see. 
Rose butted in between us, pushing me away from him. “Anyway… We’ve still got things to do. We’ve got 27 in the wrong place and the wrong time, we have to get them home.”
Donna clicked her fingers at Rose. “Yes! Come on then you skinny boys in suits, we’ve got planets to relocate!”
Both Doctor’s leaped around to the machine, immediately laughing and flicking switches all in time with each other. I watch them all, not noticing what anyone else behind me is doing, but rather focusing on the Doctor. My Doctor. Who was Rose? How did she know the Doctor and why was she so insistent on keeping us apart? I didn’t have time to talk to him about it, not now. I’d find out after this was all over, and I’d have a good talk to him about it. If Rose ever let us be alone again.
I turned to the monitors on the machine, watching as they showed each planet leaving and getting home in time with the switches being flicked. I watched as, without command, all the people I didn’t know, that were probably connected to Rose, started pushing Dalek’s into each other. They were all exploding as they did so. It was all so chaotic, but so long as everyone here and everyone on the 27 planets were safe, then it didn’t matter.
As all the Daleks were slowly being destroyed, I leaped towards the Tardis, opening it with the key I had latched around my neck and standing at the door. “Come on everyone! Get inside the Tardis!”
“Only a few more planets, Vera!” My Doctor shouts, smiling over to me from the machine, adoration in his eyes. “Go on everyone, follow Vera and get in the Tardis.”
People slowly piled in, and I didn’t think I’d ever seen this many people inside the Tardis at one moment before. Martha, Jack, Rose, someone called Mickey and Jackie. Even Sarah Jane, who my Doctor had told me about before. Soon enough, the Doctor spinted over to me, he entered the Tardis, resting his hand on my upper arm and looking down at me with a love I saw from no one else.
“You alright?”
I nodded, grinning. “Yeah, all good. Let’s get everyone home.”
He squeezed my arm one more time before running up to the console. “Vera, get Donna and… the other one. We need both of them in here before we can leave.”
I nodded, looking out the door, ready to call them both, but seeing Donna already stalking towards the Tardis. The other Doctor was still standing at the machine, staring intently at the monitor. Suddenly there was a low rumble and the whole ship shook, a loud explosion erupting from the floor and setting new rubble on fire, only creating more chaos. 
“What did you do!” I shouted over to him, looking up at him as ran over to the ship, stepping inside the Tardis and looking down at me. 
“I saved us.” He had such an innocent look on his face, as if he hadn’t done anything wrong.
“You committed genocide!”
“Against the Daleks, Vera.” He negotiated, completely believing his own words as if they weren’t defending behaviour that my Doctor would never dare to think about doing, not again. “Against the species that ruined our planet and took our people, our families and homes away!”
“They were still living.” I scolded, watching as his face fell. “And now, what makes you any better than them? Go on, get inside.”
He walked into the main room of the Tardis where everyone else stands at the console. I close the Tardis doors and follow him, looking up at my Doctor, catching eyes with him, looking confused but sympathetic. He then turned to everyone else.
“Right! One more planet to go, and I’m going to need everybodies help.”
Tumblr media
I stepped out of the Tardis onto a beach. Donna stepped out behind me, but after the metacrisis she probably knew where this was and why it was important. I didn’t.
My Doctor and the other Doctor stood on the sand, Rose too, turning around as she realised where they were. Of course it had something to do with her. I watched as they spoke, unable to hear them. I knew it was probably for the best but my curiosity got the better of me. I stalked forward a little, edging further from the Tardis and closer to these three people. 
“He committed genocide. He’s too dangerous.” My Doctor spoke, standing tall in front of Rose, a melancholy look on his face. “He has to stay here.”
“And I do as well?” Rose asked, a look on her face that didn’t belong there. That shouldn’t have been there. 
“Yes. You have no place back home, and you have a life, here, now.” He explained. “We have no life together anymore, but he can.”
The other Doctor turned to Rose, taking her hand. “I’m part human, specifically the ageing part. I’ll grow old and eventually die. I could spend it with you, if you want.” 
“You’ll grow old with me?” Rose was conflicted, I could see it in her face. She turned to the other Doctor. He nods. She had that look in her eyes that I saw in the Doctor when he first met me. That confusion, but also love. She was in love with the Doctor. “I just have one question.” She turns to my Doctor, who still stands between me and Rose. “Who is she?”
And I make eye contact with her. She doesn’t know I can hear.
“Who is who?” The Doctor replies.
“Vera. Who is she?”
The Doctor shrugs, but I can’t see his expression so I can’t tell what he’s thinking. “She’s just Vera.”
Just Vera. We’re married but okay.
“Who is she to you?”
There was a small moment of silence before he spoke again. I couldn’t tell what he was thinking or what was going through his mind, and whatever he said now could either make my life or shatter me more than losing Gallifrey did. 
“She’s the love of my life.”
“You did exactly what you said you wouldn’t do.” Rose cries, her own heart broken by what he had answered with, whereas my hearts were flying. “You replaced me. You said you never would-”
He shook his head. “She’s a Timelord, Rose. The one thing I have left of my planet.”
“I crossed parallel universes for you, Doctor.” 
“She’s Timelord. I can have a real life with her, I can grow old and die with her. I can’t do that with you.” My doctor tells her, looking over to the other Doctor who steps forward and takes Rose’s hand in his. 
Donna lifts her chin next to me. “Doctor, we haven’t got long.”
The Doctor nods and turns back around to Rose. “The gap is closing up again. I won’t ever see you again, Rose. I’m sorry.”
Rose stayed silent. As much as I didn’t like it, there was no denying her and the Doctor had a history, and I could almost feel how he was feeling. Her staying silent must have killed him inside. Even more was left unsaid as I watched the Doctor turn around, starting to walk away from Rose and towards me. 
I could see the other Doctor holding onto her hand tightly, and I could just about see a tear fall from where I stood. My doctor reached me, and I looked up at him, finding his eyes and finally being able to decipher how he felt. 
“Get inside the Tardis, I just want to talk to her.”
“We don’t have much time.”
“I won’t be long.” I promise, reaching a hand up and cupping his jaw. “Don’t leave without me.”
He nods and walks away off to the Tardis, Donna following shortly behind him. I make my way over to Rose, stalking across the sand that I can also feel in my shoes. Her eyebrows furrow at the sight of me, but I just smile slightly. I have no reason to hate her and there is no way I blame her at all for being in love with the Doctor. 
“Hi.” I greet, sending her a small smile.
“Hi.”
“I want you to know this isn’t your or his fault. If it’s anyone’s fault then it’s mine because I found him again, but that’s not the point.” I start to laugh at myself slightly, watching as Rose tries to figure out my point. “I don’t have long, but I genuinely believe that if he could, he would spend his life with you, but he can’t. And if he could, then he would eventually have to lose you again, which I don’t think he could handle.”
Rose looks over to the Tardis doors, now closed. “He’s losing me now, he might as well lose me later.”
“He likes to get things over and done with.”
“And how do you know that?”
“Because he’s my husband.” I shrug, looking her in the eye, though she refuses to meet mine. “And I know him, more than you ever could.”
“You-”
But I interrupted, knowing that she would end up shouting at me, which we didn’t have time for. “Listen, I didn’t mean that in a bad way. Only two Timelords can have the connection that the Doctor and I have. It’s not that he wouldn’t have that connection with you, it’s that he physically can’t. Just treasure the Doctor that you have, because he’s the best one for you.”
“I have my Doctor, and you have yours.” Rose speaks, finally looking up. 
“Yeah.” I smile. “Listen, I’ve gotta go, but I hope you have a good life with your Doctor.”
Rose nods, reaching out a hand. “And you have a good life with yours.” And with that, I take her hand, shaking it. I wasn’t going to hug her, and part of me still felt like she hated me, but a handshake would do. At least she wouldn’t be angry at my Doctor anymore, that was my goal.
I turned, and made my way to the Tardis, leaving Rose and the other Doctor behind. It was murky in the Tardis as I closed the door behind me, but even more melancholy from the Doctor, my Doctor. I couldn’t see him straight away, but as I got further into the Tardis console room, I saw him on the far side of the console, hands pressed against the cold metal. 
“I’m sorry.” Was all he said.
“For what?” I asked, making my way to him and hopping onto the console, leaning into him.
He only shrugged. “I should have told you about her.”
“Don’t worry about it.” I told him, resting my head on his shoulder and waiting for a reply. After he doesn’t say anything, I lifted my head and pulled his chin up to look at me. “Want to talk?”
He shook his head. I didn’t know how else to help, so I shuffled my way in front of him and where he stood and pulled him into a hug. He probably didn’t know how much he needed it but he figured it out when he got the hug, because he had a tight grip around my waist and his head buried into my neck. 
Donna walked back into the main room to see the heartfelt hug, and nodded knowingly. I pulled a thankful face as she left again, leaving the Doctor and I alone once more. 
We still had Donna to deal with, because she physically wasn’t possible. More of an anomaly than the Doctor could ever be, and she would be able to handle it. But that could wait. We still had a few hours until it really kicked in. Until then, I had to make sure the Doctor was alright.

Olay additional questions now. Random orders.
1). How will Missy feel about Alex? What about other incarnations of The Master (John Simm in World Enough and Time and Sacha Dhawan in Spyfall)
2). How does The Toymaker feel about Alex?
3). What is in Alex's room in The God Complex?
4). How will Alex feel about Division, The Timeless Child and Tecteun?
5). How does Alex feel about 15 and having a more openly queer Doctor?
6). What happens in The Wedding of River Song now?
7). When will Alex meet Jenny? And when will Jenny meet Jack?
8). Will The Doctor and Alex go to Sarah Jane's funeral now that 15 has confirmed she has died?
9). Is Alex's Time Lord ancestor Romana? Or The Corsair?
10). Why does Alex not like Danny Pink?
And finally
11). Can we write snippets and short stories based in The Alex Locke universe, weaving in our OC Sky and the brother you created Johnny, and post them here if we give credit?
Great questions!
I don't want to say too much about Missy's feelings towards Alex out of fear of spoilers, but I will say Missy does care about Alex and doesn't want to see her harmed. Same goes for Sacha Dhawan's Master and, to a lesser degree, John Simm's Master.
To the Toymaker, Alex is a delightfully useful toy in his game against the Doctor. The Toymaker never would have guessed that the Doctor he first encountered would fall madly, passionately in love, so Alex is a new puzzle he tries to use to his advantage. And he does. We will see that in Alex's version of 'The Giggle'.
Not a swimming pool, I will say that much. Or anything related to her fear of water. Hopefully, the fear that is in Alex's room will make sense when we get to it.
Alex will hate the Division, Tecteun, all of it. They just might topple Kovarian and the Silence from their top spot on the list of things/people Alex hates the most.
Alex is more than okay with a Doctor who is more open about his sexuality, because she knows that while the Doctor might acknowledge certain people as attractive, she is the one he finds the most attractive, sexy, beautiful. . . Really, the list goes on, and 15 could easily go off on a monologue on his amazing wife (and probably does, much to Ruby's amusement).
Hehe, so much. I will say lots of characters (some canon, some OCs) will pop up and we'll get a lot of answers regarding Kovarian and the Silence's plans towards the Doctor, Alex, and River. You'll just have to wait and see!
Alex will meet Jenny sometime during the first half of Series 7. What I currently intend on doing is adapting one of the audio stories featuring Jenny ('Prisoner of the Ood') and having it take place in Bristol, while Alex is visiting Marigold and Lacey. Jenny will meet Jack also during the first half of Series 7, but she doesn't start a relationship with him right away as she's traveling with her dad and Alex on the TARDIS (plus, the moment the Doctor sees the obvious attraction between the two, he's anxious to keep the TARDIS from landing anywhere near 21st century Cardiff).
They will go to her funeral, yes. I'm thinking of having it turn into a wild Arrow-verse like event, where some big alien invasion happens while everyone's gathered at the funeral and the grieved mourners defiantly defending the Earth just as Sarah Jane would have done, but we'll have to see. Either way, it will be pretty rough for the Doctor and Alex. When exactly it will take place, I'm not sure, but I'm leaning towards during 13's era.
Oh, wow, that would be awesome if Alex's Time Lord ancestor was Romana! A bit full-circle, lol, since I've got my version of Eleven admitting he was attracted to Romana. It would also make sense, with Alex and Romana both being clever. Also would be interesting if her ancestor was the Corsair, but we'll have to wait and see who, exactly, it is (if it is one of those two!).
Alex mainly doesn't like Danny because of his immediately hostile attitude towards the Doctor. She also doesn't like how Clara feels tempted to lie to Danny all the time, something she points out to Clara constantly ("Wouldn't you rather be with someone you feel like you can trust?"). Aside from that, she has no particular dislike of Danny; she just feels he and Clara aren't compatible (and she's right).
Absolutely you can! Just give credit and tag me in the posts!
Thank you again for the questions! Keep them coming!

Somehow Supernatural
Chapter 2: It's All Starting to Feel Real
Tags: poc!oc, gn!oc, teen!oc, panic attack, heavy cursing, Dean always needs his own warning, self-deprecating thoughts, mentions of anxiety, Cas not taking a hint, Deanstiel (or whatever the fuck Dean and Cas's ship name is), general chaos
Summary: The Winchesters and Cas have a meeting about Casey. It doesn't go too well, and Casey realizes what shit their stuck in.
Words: 2,675
Tumblr media
I kinda felt like I was gonna vomit. Not because I needed to vomit, but because my tum-tum was doing flips and turns like a fucking rollercoaster due to my crippling anxiety. Usually, I would do little exercises that helped me regulate like my mom taught me, but that just reminded me that I was in a different universe where I might not be able to see my mom - or anyone I knew in real life - ever again. These consistent, little thoughts did not help my already upside-down stomach.
I was sitting in the bunker, in the room with the table that has the big map of the world. I liked to call this room the “meeting room” when I watched the show because… they met people in the meeting room. Come on, it was like the foyer of the bunker so everyone had to pass through it to fight and argue and shiz.
Anyway, I was sitting in the meeting room surrounded by men that I never thought I’d ever meet in person. Maybe the reason for my anxious tum was because of the “omg-smexy-men-are-staring-at-me” effect. If so… give me an anxiety stomach ache every day.
Dean sat straight across from me at the map table. Even though he wasn’t in pouncing position anymore, he was still on guard; which, I mean, valid. All that shit he’s gone through definitely made him a tough cookie. 
Castiel was standing right behind Dean’s chair like a guardian angel. I mean, literally right behind. He was basically breathing down the hunter's neck. Maybe he liked the smell.
And Sam.
Oh. Sammy. Boy!
He had his ass sat directly on the table and was staring at me in wonder. Sam’s hair was hanging in his face at an angle that was just… perfect. It was also the perfect length, not short enough to make him look like he was 15 and not long enough where he looked crusty. Did I mention that he looked fucking perfect? Honestly, if I didn’t know any better I would’ve thought Sam was the angel.
No offense, Cas.
All three attractive men were gathered around the meeting table to discuss me. Me! I was kinda feeling myself and basking in the attention that I was getting from multiple hot men before I realized something a bit alarming.
Dean, Castiel, and Sam… were deciding what to do with me. I wouldn’t put it past Dean if he decided to kill me or abandon me in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. He doesn’t seem like the type to have a father instinct for just some random teen.
…or maybe whoever’s body I’m occupying is important to him.
“Y’all gonna talk or just stare?” I asked. Yes, during my whole internal monologue full of ogling men and withering away from anxiety, not a single person talked. They gave each other looks, but they didn’t utter a word. 
Someone finally decided to speak up after realizing how weird they were being.
“So…” Sam started. He had his hand thoughtfully under his chin. I thought I might mention it because it almost took me out, “You just appeared out of nowhere?”
“I mean, I guess so. I’m just as confused as you guys are,” I spin in my chair, “Honestly, I thought I was just having one of my regularly scheduled psychedelic dreams but then, I woke up with Dean in my face.”
“A dream?” Castiel asked.
“Yeah, dude, a dream. I was basically floating in this void and then I started hearing someone telling me to wake up and then… Dean’s face.” I took another twirl in my chair. 
The guys looked like they were trying to solve a puzzle. They had their thinking caps on full blast, you should have seen their faces. 
“Did you try the usual holy water, sliver, cross stuff?” Sam turned to Dean in question.
“Yeah,” Dean replied.
I get trying to make sure I’m not a bad type of baddie, but he could have used his non-dominant hand so it wouldn’t be as hard cause damn. That shit really hurt.
“They didn’t try to attack you?” Sam continued.
“No.”
“Then, I think we should be good for now. We can let them stay here since they seem discombobulated,” Bless you, Sam. You’re the greatest of all these fuckers.
“But if they try anything, they're out,” Cas nodded along with Dean’s words. The angel barely even looked like he was listening to what Dean was actually saying, “And if we figure out you were lying about who you are, I will find a way to send you to hell. Trust me.” 
Go shit on a brick, Dean. And you too Cas, agreeing with Dean like a lost puppy. 
“Okay…” I muttered. I didn’t really like the idea of dying, especially if it was in someone else’s body, but what could I have done? Said no? Been kicked to the curb? I’m not really worth anything to them so-
…wait.
“You never told me, whose body is this?” 
All of a sudden, it got a little awkward. Sam’s cheeks were pink and Dean was avoiding my eyes. Even Cas looked a little weird.
“Well-” Dean started.
“We-” 
“Sam found the kid on a hunt and couldn’t help but save them. They almost died, but Sammy got Cas to heal them,” Dean blurted. Sam’s face turned a dark red now that the truth was out to the masses.
“W-well you cared about them enough to train them!” Sam retorted. Now it was Dean’s turn for a red face. 
“You brought them stacks of books!”
“You made them your big bacon breakfast…three times! I can barely get you to cook for me!”
“You eat salad. I’m not making a fucking salad for a meal!” 
“It’s good for your body! Your body will rot away from all the red meat you eat!”
“At least I’m not eating rabbits' food!”
“You know,” Cas finally piped up, “The kid was bound to die.”
Silence. Damn, dude. That was a bit harsh, wasn’t it? From what I heard just now, the Winchester brothers really liked this kid. It kind of makes me feel bad for pushing them from their own body, but… what was Cas saying?
“They were meant to die the night of the hunt. Right on the floor of their living room where you found them. It was their fate. It was a miracle I was able to heal them and it was almost impossible for them to survive a month like they did,” Sam and Dean were getting pissed. Castiel - bless his heart - didn’t seem to notice, “They were never supposed to have formed relations with you two because you weren’t supposed to meet them while they were still alive.”
Poor Cas and his sucky communication skills. Now due to his harsh words, the angel’s collar was being winkled by Dean’s man hands. Castiel didn’t look alarmed at all. I wasn’t sure if it was because Dean was a mere human or because the majority of the Supernatural fandom was right about these two.
“Shut up,” Dean seethed. Sam was hovering behind Dean either waiting his turn to get a lick in or making sure Dean didn’t take it too far. I was now feeling really bad because this was all making a bit of sense. I finally understood why Castiel didn’t seem fazed by my sudden appearance, why he’s been saying all this shit about how this person should be dead already.
Speaking of Castiel, he was just letting Dean choke him up against the table. I knew he didn’t really need my help in the situation, but I was starting to feel a little awkward just sitting there. It’s way different seeing these men fight when they’re on screen and I’m in a whole other world looking like a mole rat on my couch. 
With courage that I didn’t know I had, I muttered, “Guys… I need to take a shit. Real bad.”
Three pairs of eyes turned to look at me in… surprise? Disgust? Both? It didn’t really matter what they thought of my statement, all that mattered was Castiel’s insensitive words were forgotten. For now.
Fingers combing through his hair, Sam sighed, “Come on then,” he said, walking off. He expected me to follow him and I did. To the best of my ability. He’s got long fucking legs, so he’s got even longer fucking strides. I had to practically run and I’m of average height!
Sam finally stopped at the door to the bathroom. I didn’t actually have to shit, but I figured I could use this opportunity of aloneness to recoup, realign, and do all things zen. 
Closing the door to the bathroom, I let out a breath that I didn’t realize I was holding. Today was one of the weirdest days of my life. I wasn’t sure if it was a good or bad weird yet, but it was weird. I never thought I would travel to a different universe. I never thought I would ever meet the Winchesters. I never thought I would get to walk with my own two feet - mostly - through the bunker that I’ve adored for years. 
What the hell brought me here? I wasn’t really complaining, but I still have to wonder. Was this planned? Was this person’s body kept alive for me to go in it? Do I have to save this world somehow? Am I connected to something here? Was this fate like Castiel mentioned?
I sat on the toilet seat feeling pretty lost. I wasn’t sure why it was so bright in the fucking bathroom, but it was bothering me so I slammed my face onto my lap. It was dark and warm and what I really needed at the moment. 
I know, a really sharp change in my emotions, but that’s just how it be sometimes. Perhaps being alone right now wasn’t the best decision. Usually, being alone worked, but now it felt like there were 20-pound weights on my shoulders, and it was getting kind of hard to breathe. It was also really hot, so I started squirming on the toilet seat like that was gonna cool me off.  I don’t know what I thinking because that’s not how heat works.
Then, I thought I could sit on the floor and continue my deep ponder about how the fuck I got into this situation, but I finally realized I was having a panic attack and didn’t really want to move. I found that if I moved, I would black out or it would be 10 times worse, but who knows, maybe this body works differently.
So, I moved to the floor. The floor was nice and cool, but then I started thinking about spiders because I was on the floor in an underground bathroom and spiders here really made sense. I wanted to get back on the toilet, but my body didn’t wanna listen. So now, I was a lump of a human on the bathroom floor that was probably shivering, but I couldn’t really feel my body anymore.
I wonder why when my body’s panicking my thoughts are calmer than when my body’s not panicking. It doesn’t really make sense. Like, none of my thoughts were screaming at me or telling me to do stupid shit. They were just calmly saying stuff like ‘you should get up’ or ‘there might be spiders here’ or ‘your probably gonna die, but take your time’. 
Yeah, the calm thoughts were definitely worst.
Now I recognized the feeling of tears falling down my face and I felt pretty pathetic. I mean, what the fuck was I crying for? Nothing was wrong. They hadn’t killed me yet. I’d always wanted to travel to another world, but I guess my body couldn’t take it. Wait! This wasn’t even my fucking body!
“So goddamn pathetic,” I wheezed. My right cheek was pressed against the floor and when I talked I could feel the tears smearing all over the place and it gave me the ick, but I couldn’t stop myself from crying. 
I love to mention the fact that I have a superiority complex, but I never talk about the opposite of that. My dandy ‘you’re a fucking loser and will never do anything in your life’ complex. It always sneaks up on me at the worst times, like when I’m supposed to be enjoying myself in another universe for crying out loud, and makes me feel more worthless than - fucking - everything. It makes me wanna crawl into a hole and never come back out.
Feeling worthless and having a panic attack simultaneously isn’t the best. It means not only can you not breathe, but you also don’t feel like trying. So, I laid on the floor of the bathroom and didn’t do any of the breathing exercises that my therapist taught me. I just waited to black out.
“Hey, kid, you doing okay in there?” Sam’s voice sounded so far away. I could barely hear it. My lungs were starting to hurt from lack of air, so I curled my aching body into a pathetic little ball.
Pathetic.
“Did you hear me?” Sam sounded. I didn’t move a muscle. I wasn’t surprised when I heard his footsteps getting farther from the door. Of course, he would abandon me. Even I would abandon myself. I was so damn pathetic that I didn’t deserve to be cared for.
Bang!
“Kid! What the hell?” Sam’s voice was now closer. Was it odd that I could smell him? Was I really that desperate for someone that I was imagining things?
So fucking pathetic.
Strong arms lifted me off the floor. I was now pushed against a firm chest and not cold tiles. I don’t think I was imagining this, but I wasn’t gonna get my hopes up. I couldn’t see much because of the tears, so I just snuggled deeper into Sam’s flannel.
More footsteps approached. More voices.
“What the hell happened?”
“They were in the bathroom and I heard sobbing, but they wouldn’t answer the door.”
“Are they hurt?” 
“No, I think they’re having a panic attack.”
“A what?”
“A panic attack, Dean. I’m just gonna get them to lay down somewhere other than the floor.”
“The floor? Did they pass out?”
Sam brushed my hair back to see my face, “Maybe. They’re awake now.”
When we got to the couch, Sam put me down and crouched in front of me. He was looking into my eyes while I was trying to look at his. 
“Breathe with me,” Sam whispered gently. 
I tried to do what he said, but my lungs were burning. Every breath I tried to take would come out shaky or devolve into a sob. Sam slowly took my hands, giving me a chance to pull away, and continued breathing with me. It took a while, but soon I was breathing steadily and my crying had stopped.
“You okay?” Sam asked.
I nodded.
“You want some water?” 
I nodded again.
“Dean?” Sam turned to his brother that was standing behind him, “Mind getting them some water?”
Before Dean could move Castiel appeared with a glass of water in hand. I hadn’t even noticed he had left. The angel handed me the glass and while I gulped it down, he stayed hovered over me. He looked really worried, but I wasn’t sure why.
“Does this happen a lot?” Sam questioned. His hand was still holding one of mine. It was comforting.
“Yeah,” I croaked, “No big deal.”
“Is there something wrong with them?” The shorter brother asked.
“Nah, I’m just kinda sensitive,” I huffed, “Kind of hoped I wouldn’t have to deal with that in this body.”
“Sorry you have to,” said Sam, “I know how it feels.”
Well, well, well. One of my personal headcannons was true. 
I gave Sam a smile and finally let go of his hand. I didn’t really wanna talk about this anymore.
“So, you guys got anything to eat?”
I used my own experience with panic attacks to write the scene in this chapter, so if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
AN: loved this chapter sm. I really like the tone of this fanfiction and I'm gonna try to keep it like this so when it gets dark... well- it doesn't get too depressing.
Hope you enjoyed!

questions for writers
i was tagged by @luvwich (THANK YOU)
Last book I read: I'm currently reading Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak, I recently finished Several People are Typing by Calvin Kasulke
Greatest Literary Inspirations: Stephen King, though not as much anymore, Chuck Palahniuk, Douglas Coupland (these last two can be seen especially in Streetkid with regards to inner monologue and style), William Gibson and Neal Stephenson
Things in my current fandom I want to read but I don't want to write
Does smut of my own OCs count? Otherwise because I only ship my own OCs and am picky about like...idk ships in general (it's a vibes thing, not personal!) there isn't anything else. I just suck at and struggle writing smut. Maybe more like adventures and shenanigans, one off gigs and stuff.
You can recognize my writing by: Quick and snappy dialogue, action beats, describing gory bits more than scenery, little to no description of canon characters in scene, little to no description of the scene in general (i'm trying...). Oddly gory or gruesome metaphors for things not gory/gruesome (e.g. Bea branding V's heart)
My most controversial take (current fandom):
*clears throat*
Tumblr media
I keep that shit locked down to small groups or specific people I know won't castrate me. While I am not worried about my reputation in fandom, I don't like randomly shit stirring and starting up discourse.
Top three favorite tropes: Gore gore gore gore gore gore gore gore gore gore. LOVE snapping bones and wet mushy guts. I also like unreliable narrators, I enjoy feeling disoriented and like the book is a personal attack on my person and psyche. That's why I describe my style sometimes as hostile to readers. And then the third one is enemies/friends/neutral working partner to lovers.
What's your current writing mood (10 -- super motivated and churning out words like crazy, 0 -- in a complete rut): Like a 6 or 7. Now that I'm working on new shit I know I can start and am looking forward to sitting down and writing, but also on a little brain break since I finished act one and need to do some housekeeping with my fics.
Share a random frustration: I am so tired of my hips hurting all the time and I am trying to ignore the fact that even after my hip surgery that hip but especially my left hip will still hurt and that's just like an unfortunate fact of my fucking existence with this stupid fucking connective tissue disorder. I don't think I have lived a day of my life fully pain free, even as a child I remember sitting cross-legged for too long would make my knees feel weird.

LC PART 1 SUMMARY
the prologue is a hint towards eis existence! shes not mentioned at all in part one as she isnt actually. introduced yet and hasnt made her way to where everything is happening, but the prologue implies her existence! it follow an unnamed girl who "reawakened" and is covered in dirt (meant to imply she. you know. dug herself out of the ground)
in chapter one, aib and her soon-to-be-dead friend, ichimi, are hanging out in a bathroom together after aib was browsing her parents personal emails. ichimi mentioned knowing someone other than aib and she had to suppress her anger. also rereading this in some lines it feels ichimi has a hint of... innocence? is that the word? that you might associate with ei, and it reminds me of weird ei-ichimi paralells that probably arent actually paralells i just dont know what other word to use. ichimi was actually named after ei (i talked about it in a different post). aib is referring to this one barely mentioned side character via surname meanwhile ichimi is calling them their given name, interesting thing about aib being more distant about. everyone i guess. and ichimi being warm and friendly
still on chapter oen sorry just a new bullet point becayse thats a lot of words there. i almost didnt realise the car situation was gonna happen in this chapter. how could i forget. talking about her parents and her relationship, aibreann said "[we] seemed less like a family and more like roommates, if you could even call [us] that". then she ran across a busy street because she was impacient, and suddenly a strange guy knocked into her (to save her from a car that was going to hit her) and asked her what her problem is. his foot got run over and aib immediately went Omg awesome gorey foot... like there were two paragraphs dedicated to aib thinking about the gore. he then picked her up to carry her to her address, aibreanm thought "i shouldnt tell a stranger my address" then did exactly that. also i remember someone i showed like just this chapter to thought this man was aibs father LOL unfortunately not
chap 2. the man introduced himself as kane. he had to tell her that her knees got scraped and were kind of bloody cuz she didnt notice. shes so aggressive(? well not exactly aggressive shes just swearing internally and rolling her eyes and stuff) and sarcastic to him. he tucked aibreann in with a blanket and is leaving blood all over the floor from walking around. he made her tea and tended to her scrapes. then he started to realise Oh fuck my foot hurts and he left. she tried to mop all the blood kane left all over the floor before her dad gets home but she fails and kind of trips and falls into the blood and her dad comes home and she gets up and limps away
i just realised this is probably gonna be kind of long lol... well no read more for you my followers must be strong enough to handle one billion words of oc stuff at once
chap 3. were immediately hit by multiple paragraphs of exposition. maybe i couldve done that better instead of having aib internally monologue about her magic bs but whatever this was written like one a 2/3rds of a year ago. now shes starting to wonder if things would be better if she was dead. two new one time side characters that just exist to be talked about once mentioned. honestly if i ever went over part 1 and rewrote part of it i might just remove these two. which luckily means i just remove a few sentences in one chapter. their "existence" was fine before but now im starting to feel these random people being mentioned fucks with what i started to build up afterwards yk. she changes into a clean uniform and mentions she usually ditches the sweatervest with hers. now shes wanting to die again
i hear my nephew outside my door i might see whats up with him goodbye to this post for now

These latest chapters have been pure brilliance. Azula stealing Rei was also really funny. Azula should someday invent the Avatar world's version of Child Protective Services, I know its not quite the same thing here, but near enough. I'd fallen behind so reading all the latest chapies in two sittings was a pleasure. I even had to remember I had a legit account here, I almost messaged as an anon again. Well, now for one of my usual random questions. What's your top 5 favorite OCs to write?
X'D glad you've enjoyed the chaos! While Part 3 starts out in such a heavy way, I feel like it hits its stride pretty quickly (probably because I really didn't want to drag out the hopeless misery any longer than necessary...). Rei provided a wonderful change of pace in Azula's story, the impact she's had on Azula is always lots of fun to write, and the development of that bond never fails to make me happy. I went out of my way to make a meme about it, some time ago...
Tumblr media
Azula creating a Child Protective Services system sounds like something no one in the world would imagine Azula would do, not even Azula herself... and yet it sounds like a legitimate possibility as things stand x'D
As for your question... favorite OCs? Ooh boy...
Well, I think Rei would be #1 right now. She's just gold without even knowing it. I don't know how she won over my heart as fast as she did, but she just did. That's her secret superpower, I suspect. She's a really good remedy for all the hardships we've been dealing with, and giving Azula another unique bond with a character is always great <3
Xin Long is probably #2, though writing him as of late makes my heart hurt for obvious reasons... but he was always crazy fun to write. Writing his draconic monologues cracked me up every time, he's wonderfully chaotic and straightforward, writing this dork was always gratifying.
Might be sad that he'd be so low, but our #3 is Rui Shi... oh, Rui Shi. Don't we all miss our good man Rui Shi. *wipes tear*
I'll bestow #4 to Kino and I hope he takes the spot with pride, he's really fun to write too. It can be tricky sometimes to choose what to do with him, I really don't want Kino to feel redundant, or too comic relief, but we'll give him more chances to shine in the future for sure. He's great at easing up many heavy atmospheres, gotta love our reckless Fire Nation army deserter for that.
... I'm gonna go on an impulsive one right now and give an answer that might sound really weird right now to close up my top 5: my #5 is Anorak. Yep. That's who. Why? I think it will become clear relatively soon... though not too soon. To be 100% honest, I didn't even think I'd care about this character remotely as much as I've grown to... but a plot twist I devised for him recently has changed things, big time. I have a surprisingly large soft spot in my heart for this guy, crazy as it might be.
As for runner-ups... I feel bad for leaving him out of a top 5, but Renkai probably would have been right after Anorak, at least! The Priestess of the Flames is also an important one to mention because, as much as she's not a character we've seen often... she's basically one of my old OCs from my original stories, repurposed for Gladiator xD so I have a soft spot for her too and always enjoy writing her. I also reeeeally love Mei Xun, she's a very interesting character to work with. Naturally, all of Azula's guards deserve credit here, they're such a loveable group even though I didn't really set out with the intent of making them loveable x'D Seethus is also quite interesting to write, but unfortunately Ozai isn't giving him enough material to work with lately. More things to begrudge him for, I guess (?)
Anyway, hope that's a decent list :D

2k Celebration - OC Playlist: May I request oc playlits for some of my characters? (They will be in separate asks, just wanted to say beforehand that there's 4)
Ivy Knight is my oc in a Loki Laufeyson fanfic I have that’s set in the Disney+ series. Ivy’s parents were SHIELD agents and so naturally she became one as well. And while she loved her job and wanted to make her parents proud, she also longed for a peaceful-er life where she didn’t have to worry about the government knocking on her door with a new mission every week. Though, at least for now, this isn’t what she gets because long story short she gets caught up in TVA business with Loki. Due to her SHIELD agent background Ivy has a bit of a cold exterior but her use of sarcasm and quick remarks make themselves ever present. And once her sense of trust of whoever she’s with increases even more of her personality shines through. This means even more sarcasm, but also, she will randomly mention facts about her life, or a fact related to the situation. She’ll also start spouting out random movie references that pop into her head when she gets the chance. Ivy also is a very straightforward person, there’s not enough time for extra dramatic monologues in her mind, she’ll just straight up tell you what she thinks. I should also mention that while SHIELD agents are trained to use various different weapons, Ivy has a liking towards daggers and knives. Like if she had to suddenly go through security she would be on the side pulling out dagger after knife after dagger etc. from a million different hiding spots. And that’s basically Ivy Knight in a nutshell lol. (1/4)
The Truth I'll Never Tell - As It Is
Be Ready When I Say Go - Emperors
Helpless Automaton - Men At Work
Anything But Ordinary - Avril Lavigne
Just A Job To Do - Genesis
Lions - Moon Taxi
Walk the Furrows - Bowerbirds
The Truest Stars We Know - Iron & Wine

#Illbleed #HouseHuntedGame #ErikoChristy #MaisonTalo #Johndoegame #JohnDoe #ZableFable #MyOc #TheIThinkWereGonnaHaveToKillThisGuyMeme #MyThoughts #FableTheGhostShapeshifterFunnyFella
I would also draw Maison Talo and Eriko Christy.
I Think We're Gonna Have To Kill This Buyer, Eriko.
Also I'm starving.
And have Eriko Christy with the Jimmy Bat in hand say Cool. Images not mine but links.
1:33:50-1:35:51
Snek plays Illbleed (No Commentary) (Sega Dreamcast 2001) Part 1 (The Homerun of Death) (youtube.com)
The original artwork.
https://x.com/mortisfox/status/1523226853980270592
Maison Talo | Sexypedia Wiki | Fandom
Another one would be Zable Fable with John Doe having the Damn on his shirt with a puzzled face.
Too bad my art is not that great.
Got a gif of Eriko with the Jimmy bat and her using it to get some homerun revenge.
https://gifmaker.me/video-to-gif/viewimage/20240903-10-A9oqcb1v4XJEDByS-a8ISbj-HNET
Ideas I had if Eriko Christy was stuck in Maison Talo's house body with Zable Fable being like a spiritual successor of both Eriko and Illbleed with glitches added in.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wish I could commission Mortisfox to see Maison Talo's reaction to Eriko Christy narrow escaping out of Maison Talo's body that deletes him and Eriko is safe for the helicopter ladder to put her in front of the door of his house body where she can leave.
I was watching a let's play of House Hunted on youtube and I noticed when Maison Talo opens the door mouth then walks in with the player character does the lure body close the door or does the house body close it once the player character walks in?
Also I guess Maison Talo's living room is a short walk from the front door where the meat couch is so my guess is that the narrow escape will take Eriko to the closed or open front door of the monster house where she can just leave the area.
I just want to see Maison Talo's reaction to a random ladder appearing with hearing a helicopter noises to see Eriko waving up to something then have Maison Talo panicking to try to knock her out with the enzymes or fight her back to stay by pushing her down on the floor like in one of the endings.
Or ends with Eriko dying from being hit close to the helicopter where Maison Talo wins and eats her by the floors.
It's like serious horror vs silly B movie horror fighting each other and a monster house vs a silly not making sense virtual haunted house.
Tumblr media
Also this sentence from Maison Talo saying that the Uncanny Valley folks hate explaining anything gave me Illbleed vibes like when a person first plays the game not knowing anything.
The game. https://mortisfox.itch.io/house-hunted (Spoilers.) 32:03 https://youtube.com/watch?v=zJP_xI412es
I can see Eriko slowly playing along with the game but will slowly B movie horror out the knockout enzymes to later fight back.
Like having a gas mask item on and just watching Maison Talo monologuing to later fight him off or not to narrow escape.
Even if Eriko dies to Maison Talo and has a scapegoat Mary I imagine it acting like your playing a game then losing in a part of the game then choosing another place to go after starting over while trying not to redo that death ending.
Kind of like adapting after something dangerous that happened to a character so it won't hurt or effect the character as hard.
That's basically what my ghost shapeshifter oc Fable is doing to Zable's closed eyed vessel body when Zable "dies" is just adapting to what hits them.
I can imagine Fable quirk making Zable heavy breath in the enzymes gases to quickly make Zable faint just to get the house monster to let their guard down by pretending to "die" to wait for the monster house to consume Zable then have Fable control to house monster to die in a weird way or just control the house just for fun until Fable gets bored to later let them go.
The house creature won't know what happened to them at first then slowly will know.
The creatures that consume Zable's body while Fable is in control can try to fight back but it's like the creature is talking to themselves to nothing that might make the creature look crazy.
Kind of similar to a parasite controlling a snail but still leaving the original creature's personality but is a little off.
Fable would make the house do not canon stuff like swimming, moving their house to a new location, or just making items the house couldn't and maybe change the color of the house maybe change the lure body's appearance like making the lure body clown like.
Making this creature act normal then Fable quirk making the house creature tattletale on itself to scare off buyers.
Once Fable is bored or done then will teleport the house creature back to normal in it's normal location with them holding a scrapbook pictures of what happened to them and if they look through it the memories flood back at full force along with their hunger that might kill them.
Like for example if a creature says they are number one at hunting the Fable will quirk make the creature say the truth like the creature has been starving for the exact amount of days to get the prey creature to flee to safety.
The quickest way to get Fable out is to say sorry or have a blessed day to get Fable to leave in a weird way and turning everything back to normal.
Zable won't remember anything once Fable swaps back to being dormant to have Zable awake to be in a safe area.
I imagine if Fable was controlling the house creature's lure body after Zable "died" and got eaten by the house creature to control them would just make the lure body move close to the door mouth then just sit down in front of the door to not move with the house stomach growling ignoring the house to make the lure body move to go out buyer hunting like normal.
Maybe make the lure body look back at the fleshy walls and mimic make fun of the house's pleading then do a brush off pose.
Like Fable and the monster house are fighting over the lure body.
Have the controlled lure body fighting off the fleshy tentacles then making the lure body bite the fleshy tentacles that tried to push the controlled lure body out that hurts the house creature but did hurt both parties a little but more on the controlled host.
I imagine when the REALTORs that is controlled by Fable when buyer hunting would randomly interrupt the monster house's buyer speech to talk in a monotone voice using the monster house's voice to say random house facts like how much a house cost that might not be their own house but might be a random one.
Or reference a obscure monster Zable has seen on their travels by using a different voice each time that the monster house can't control or stop until the prey person leaves either scared or confused.
Seems Fable is messing with creatures that consume Zable and Fable but is seeing how long it would take to break this creature's sanity while waiting for the creature that ate both parties to slowly figure out how to get back to normal but is seeing how long it takes them.
Fable might make a bet to a unknown place on how long it takes the creature or enemy that ate them to figure out a solution and might either double or triple their money if it takes the enemy too long but the opposite might happen if Fable loses money once the enemy figures out the solution out quickly for Fable to flee that will make everything normal for the enemy.
If Fable wins they get paid on how much the enemy is worth and if Fable loses then a check will be in the enemy's hand on how much they are worth.
The worth price is randomized from high to low.
If a monster or monster like person eats Zable then Fable will quirk walk Zable to the danger then will willing be eaten but will pretend to act scared to make the unknowing creature let their guard down not knowing that they shouldn't eat colorful prey if they know the rules.
If the enemy eats both sides then first the enemy will feel normal then super great and later will hallucinate things.
While this is happening to the enemy Fable is already in the enemy's brain to look through the memories then slowly take over the enemy by making them seem see things.
Like a creature seeing their first prey they killed like they are in the room with the enemy but are more ghost like in appearance to make the enemy scared to make them talk to no one in the room and later make the enemy do strange quirks like making the enemy itchy for no reason or just making the enemy mess with their accessories or their hair.
Then Fable will slowly control the enemy in obscure ways like when a enemy picks up something they drop it or pull out a card the hand randomly crumbles up the card without the enemy doing that to freak them out.
Zable is safe though inside the now orange upside down heart necklace but this is like a possession version of a nesting doll with the enemy slowly being controlled by Fable.
If Fable finds a interesting memory like a embarrassing moment then Fable will make the enemy relive that moment unless it was with a past dead victim then the enemy will hallucinate that person or being.
If Fable thinks the enemy is a threat then this genderless shifter will make the enemy hallucinate one last time then will make all the enemy's past victims be in the waking world or ghost world to attack to kill and maybe eat the enemy as revenge but will make the enemy close their eyes before this happens for Fable to leave out the enemy's shadow to flee to swap back with Zable to a safe area with the character not know what happened and how they go here but Fable will know.
Since Fable left a small amount of itself similar to a mushroom like spores in the enemy's brain if they survived the past victims attacks and will reactivate later if the same enemy makes Zable faint or "die".

Character Monologue: Valentina Vespucci
[ This excerpt is being recorded on █/█/20█ from a private consultation between Ms. Vespucci and Dr. Hill lasting from 9:00 AM EST to 11:00 AM EST. ]
█ █ █ █ █
“...I started recording the pieces when I was 8... maybe 9. Rotten habit it was, I knew that. But my father gave me the recorder and said I could use it after he fixed it up. So I did. I started using it. It wasn’t when the fights started— no, they’d been going on for years. But it was when she started blaming the conflicts on me that I did...
You see, when my mother married my father, she stopped working. The power and the status went to her head. I mean, he had enough income to support all of us and then some. So she wanted to become a social elite, a trendsetter. And she wanted to rope me into her scheme. To her, happiness was an afterthought. Being popular and well-recognized was more important. Sure she had good standing in the community, but then again, anyone might when their using their families necks as a soapbox and no one notices because they can’t see past the glittering reputation she’s built up. And when I didn’t want to play along, when I started making her lose balance, she blamed me for dirtying her shoes instead of simply letting her walk all over me.
I should make it clear: I don’t hate my mom for what she did. It feels weird. After everything, I still love her. I loved her up until the moment I watched the light fade from her eyes while she glared at e. I loved her every bit as much as I loved my dad. But I don’t think she’d say the same. My father used to tell me “she loves you, she just doesn’t know how to express it” but the more I think about it, the more it feels like a cold comfort for a child crying about why her mother hates her. I could never believe it, even if I wanted to. And believe me, I wanted to. But I know the truth. The fact is she hated me. I didn’t fit her mold and I was basically a bastard for that fact alone.
The recordings say it all. A lot of them caught her coming in and telling me to my face that it was my fault. It was always my fault. Even in the end when she was on her deathbed, she insisted that it was my fault things ended like this. You can hear me cry in a few while she berates me. I’d ask her what I did to cause this and she’d never answer. And- and I know that after all these years I shouldn’t have these. Right- I should have gotten rid of them a long time ago. Nothing but bad memories and broken dreams in that box of cartridges. But- but a part of me can’t let it go. It wants to search for something, find... something. The cancer that took her, or the faulty machinery that killed my father. The cause of all her problems. The root of all my flaws. The problem within me. The “it”. I guess I keep hoping that if I listen to them over and over again, eventually I’ll find it- I’ll find out what I did wrong. What I did to cause their arguments. I mean, I know I won’t— of course I won’t. Logically, I know that I did nothing to provoke it— at least I don’t think I did. I never disrespected or fought with her. I stayed silent, I let her rant, and then I walked away carrying all her words with me. [Ms. Vespucci seems visibly shaken by this point.]
That hurt. I’ll admit that it did. It ruined me. And even years later, I still find myself trying to pull off all the hurtful words that she stuck to my skin like duct tape. She doesn’t have to be around to beat me down with them anymore. She threw down so many that now she’s got me repeating them to myself out of sheer habit— a habitual need to hear them. Fucked up sense of normalcy. And old habits die hard, because— you know— the most painful part of duct tape isn’t putting it on: it’s pulling it off.
There are days where I don’t want to get up. I hear her voice playing on repeat with not a cartridge in sight, and I start crying anyway. I don’t want to look at my lab or any of my drafts because I’ll start remembering all the times she crumpled them up and threw them out, telling me I’d never be anything. I don’t want to get out of bed because I’ll hear her saying how I’m so useless I shouldn’t even be seen. I don’t want to get out of my pajamas because I’ll look in the mirror and see all the imperfections about myself she highlighted. I don’t even want to open my eyes because I’ll see everything pink that I love so much, and I’ll remember how she called me childish for even thinking of the color. [It is at this point that Ms. Vespucci begins crying.]
She tore me to pieces. I loved her, and she shattered me. Made me cold and brittle and isolated me, and then watched me smash into a million little fractals. And the thing about being made so fragile without ever actual being treated like it, is that sure, you can put yourself back together— and I did. I tried at least. You can pick up the pieces and repair yourself as best you can, but you’ll never whole again. There are some pieces that you’ll just never be able to find. In my case, it was because she had them. She held onto them once she took them from me. And she had sharpened them just so she could cut me down with them at any and every opportunity. Too metaphorical? I’m sorry— I guess I’m just trying to say that yeah... eventually, my interests weren’t enough. Not for her. [Ms. Vespucci seems to have calmed down and is speaking at a leveled volume but she is still very upset.]
She started making comments. Comments turned to criticism. Criticism turned to lectures and berating. Nothing was ever good enough. There was always something I did or said that I should’ve second guessed, that I should have thought about how it would affect her. Grades, relationships, even time spent with my father. It all became a burden on her somehow. How embarrassing would it be to tell her socially elite friends that her daughter wanted to be an engineer or a chemist? Why would I hang out with my childhood friend who clearly comes from the neighborhood over? Why am I just getting high grades instead of perfect ones? And when that wasn’t enough, she went after me directly.
Why did I like pink? That was a color for little babies. What will her friends think when they hear her grown child is still picking baby colors for her clothes and her room? Why would I come out of the house looking like that? I could barely fit into that dress and the bold makeup makeup makes me look like a slut, not that I could actually catch anyone with it. Why do I cry every time she gives me advice? I’m making her look like the bad guy, it’s her fault I’m so emotional. There’s nothing wrong with me. I just can’t handle the truth. I can’t handle the fact that she’s my mother and she knows better, I just have to respect that.
I never understood how or why it got to me— not back then, but it did. It took me years to figure it out but eventually I did.
Your brain is like a machine. It starts off with just one or two cogs, but as you get older, you upgrade it accommodate new functions, new processes. You start feeding it different things, and it gives you different products as a response. It gets different gears you can shift between, different speeds, different specialties. But most importantly, keeping the gears well greased is the most important part. And negativity- well it’s like oil. A couple drops of it now and then to keep you from running the machine into a wall of blind optimism or unrealistic realities is important. But you gotta remember to clean it out now and then. You let it collect over time and eventually things start to get gunked up and sluggish.
See I know a lot of people who try not to let the oil pile up by uh... compartmentalizing it. Stuffing it in a little box and the trying to uh... tuck it away and forget about it. But the problem is, there’s only so much oil you can fit into one box. Sure, you can keep filling it until there’s more oil than could possibly fit in there, and in the end, only you can open it. And of course, you don’t want to. You never do. But all it takes it just one moment where you actually forget it’s there, forget what it is, just one rainy day.And then you open it. And all that oil is going to come out. I’ve found that it’s far easier to wipe a couple of drops that run down your face off in a moment than it is to swipe away the sudden ocean you unleash from months or years of boxing it up it that cascades in rivers down your cheeks and pools around your ankles, your waist, your throat, until you are drowning in it. And let me tell you, being lost in a sea of oil like that, inky and black, so dark that you can’t evn see the light anymore-- if there even is one-- not knowing which direction is which, not knowing which way is up... It is so easy to drown in that. So easy to just give up and sink, because at that point, what is the point?
So I’m telling you right now, take care of that machine. You only get one. And surround yourself with people who will help you take care of it. And if you can’t find that, then at least find some who will throw you a life preserver.
I wish I had...” Attached note from Dr. Hill: 
“I had deduced from our first session that a strained relationship with her mother may be the cause for Valentina’s low self-esteem and self-reported unrealistic expectations both in and out of her business life. However, in light of the conversation recorded in this follow-up visit, and in conjunction with my previous observations, I believe my earlier theory may be correct in asserting that this psychological abuse has caused her to develop certain behavioral patterns correlating with clinical depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (the latter of which appears to be manifesting in consistent, learned patterns of  self-deprecating behavior, as well as exacerbating the symptoms of the former). As such, I am formally diagnosing her with these issues and recommending weekly visits accounting for two to three days. I am also prescribing her sertraline going forward, both as a treatment for her depression, and because I believe the isolation she mentioned may have stunted her social development and led to a deep rooted sense of anxiety towards social interactions. I will need more information before I can confirm this.
As it stands, Valentina has a long way to go. Her formative years were spent conditioning her into a very intensely damaging mindset that has thus far been the foundation of what may as well be every day of her life. This was in no way aided by the fact that it seems to be she had no healthy available coping mechanisms to process her stress through. Medication is only the start, but paired with good routine and therapy, she may be able to finally accept herself and understand that her existence is not inherently flawed. In if not when’ cases such as these, timing is critical, and it seems in her case, we may or may not have missed the window to offer help. Only time will tell, but I hope for the best.”

Fic Questions
tagged by @the-lincyclopedia thank you!! (fun game: watch my writing get progressively less formal as the post continues. by the end it’s like what is capitalization)
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
77!
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
434,378 as of this week but it does go up quite regularly
3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?
Okay so in terms of what’s on my AO3, I have Check Please, All For the Game, Sharp Zero, HP, and Miraculous Ladybug. I also have The Forbidden LOTR and PJO Fanfiction (as in, I’ve written it, but it’s never seeing the light of day)
(technically there is a PJO fic out there that has seen the light of day but I orphaned it because I was tired of getting comments asking about when it would be updated)
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
and then i met you (and the whole world changed)
for the better
Knew It Was You
come home (to you, to us)
sin bin schematics
All of these are Check Please and all of them except Knew It Was You are part of my Zimbits Airport AU!
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do! It’s actually a very recent thing that I’ve started not responding to literally every single comment. Mainly I respond because I love talking about my writing so I am going to seize that opportunity when it comes up
6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
Oh, DEFINITELY Happy Birthday (HP). Check out that MCD tag ahah. (I say HP but what I really mean is that I write fic about Regulus Black. The Regulus Black-centric tag is my home in the HP fandom)
fun fact: this is a very short fic that I wrote when I was 15 and basically forgot about until recently, and then I reread it recently and went holy shit?? I pulled NO punches????
7. Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the wildest one you’ve written?
Not a ton? I think a lot of the fandoms I write for don’t really mesh that well. That being said, the aforementioned orphaned PJO fic is actually a PJO/ML crossover, so there’s that
8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Nope! Sometimes I get comments that are just.... really confusing? And a more common thing is that in my AFTG fic I’ll get comments from people who are so focused on Andreil (or the most common ships in general) to the point that like. they miss the point of what I actually wrote. Those are annoying but they’re not hate, they’re very enthusiastic, they’re just... enthusiastic about a story I’m not writing? So it’s a bit frustrating.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
No sjflskgjhgf I struggle enough to write kissing, I think if I ever tried to write smut my brain would just shut down. I’ve managed some fade-to-blacks (which are mostly in WIPs that haven’t been posted) but they rely HEAVILY on the powers of implication
10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of!
11. Have you ever had a fic translated?
No, although I have occasionally made a brief go of it, not to post, more as an exercise for myself in a language that I’m learning. Anyway I never finish them so I’m gonna say no
12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Not really? I’ve definitely group brainstormed fics and then written them (the best example of this being Q&A (AFTG), which was the product of a truly off-the-walls group chat), but I tend to do all the actual writing myself. I think the way I write would drive a co-writer up the wall since it’s very disorganized and I don’t write stuff down because ~I know what’s gonna happen I don’t need notes~ and it would infuriate me if I was co-writing with me lmao, so I won’t inflict that on someone else
13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
I regularly move through ships I’m SUPER focused on, like it’s kind of a rotation. I will forever and always ship Percabeth though.
14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?
Okay so if you follow me at @birlwrites you may know this already, but i have this ‘warmups’ document that is just like, random ideas i get that i don’t necessarily want to finish but i just want to try out for a bit? and i have a rule that once a ‘warmup’ is more than 10 pages long (so 11+) then it has to be moved to its own document, just to make scrolling through the warmups doc easier. but usually, a warmup only passes 10 pages when i’m INTO it. so i have a bazillion wips i will probably never finish. i complain about this a lot. i have so many wips. i don’t need more.
here’s one: it’s titled ‘interrobang doesn’t know they’re dating’, it’s basically a full outline for a chowder/tango fic and it would be SO cool if i could ever like. get around to writing it. but i am constantly swamped with writing projects, so it’s probably not gonna happen. if anyone’s interested in adopting it though i’d be down for that!! i think it’s a fun idea i just almost def won’t write it myself
15. What are your writing strengths?
SNAPPY DIALOGUE AND SNARKY INTERNAL MONOLOGUE. my writing is COMEDIC, 90% of my ideas are based on a funny snippet that popped into my head, a lot of my worldbuilding is based on ‘hey you know what would be hilarious’ (whenever i explain how larai selects a chosen one in the rainfall universe i start laughing, which is a STARK contrast to how it plays out on the page), i love writing funny stuff!!
also i think my writing sounds nice, a lot of the time i pick words/syntax based on sound and flow so there’s that too. and i have lots of ideas! i don’t struggle much with writer’s block because a) i have a lot of strategies to deal with it and b) i have a lot of ideas to help get around it/work with it
16. What are your writing weaknesses?
PHYSICAL INTIMACY LMAO, sometimes in my end notes on shippy fics you can see me complaining ‘it took me literally 4 hours to write that very brief kiss’. also sometimes the humor in my writing gets in the way a bit, i have to very consciously put it away so characters can actually have serious, genuine emotions. also i don’t like outlining and i tend not to get betas for fanfiction so like..... i do my best continuity-wise but having really tightly plotted stories is just not my focus lol. (and i do put more effort into that for original stuff, it’s just fic where i kind of go wild)
17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
If the reader’s supposed to know what it means, then writing it in another language is iffy for me. (stuff like terms of endearment which come up a lot in fic are fine imo, you can just put a note in to translate them and your reader will prob remember)
If the pov character isn’t supposed to understand it, and it doesn’t matter if the reader understands it, then ig it’s fine? but unless you already speak the other language (and i am NOT confident in my ability to translate english into literally any other language), then i think it’s way easier to just note that a character’s speaking x language and provide tone indicators, body language cues, etc. so the reader understands as much as the pov character.
That being said there are def times when it’s used super effectively--the dialogue in spanish in cemetery boys comes to mind! that’s not fanfic but it’s still creative writing so w/e
so i guess it comes down to: does actually writing out the dialogue in the other language serve a purpose? if it doesn’t, then you’re filling up the screen with words your reader isn’t likely to understand, which i try to avoid doing
18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?
so the first fandom i actually *wrote* for was PJO, but i distinctly remember creating warrior cats OCs when i was little. i never actually did anything w them but i had them and my favorite was a riverclan warrior named shellstream i remember this VIVIDLY
19. What’s your favorite fic you’ve ever written?
oh boy. okay so this is hard because i feel like i’m continuously improving as a writer. like in the sense that my writing is getting closer and closer to really matching my own taste? my favorites tend to always be my current projects as a result. and i do really love set those ghosts alight (HP) but it feels a little like cheating to say a fic i haven’t even finished writing yet. even though it’s def not cheating, that’s just the direction my brain is taking it.
i’m gonna say and then what? (OMGCP) because i’m super proud of the prose (especially ch 2 aka the first actual prose chapter), survived by (HP) for SUCCESSFULLY WRITING AN EMOTION and making readers cry :), and Q&A (AFTG) because i’m literally the one who wrote it and yet it still makes me wheeze. those are all fics i reread occasionally, because i’m big enough to admit i enjoy rereading my old stuff! (just like. to a point. some of my old stuff i can’t look at anymore because all the mistakes stick out to me like they have spotlights shining directly on them)
this was fun!! i’m gonna do an open tag because i just started my fall semester and brain tired. i know sometimes people see open tags and assume the op didn’t really mean it but I MEAN IT, PLEASE DO THIS AND TAG ME!!!!! YES YOU READING THIS

Do you develop your mc's personalities while ypu play or do you have an idea of who they are and play accordingly?
A little bit of both, but mostly as I play.
I don't come up with a MC until playing the specific IF game they're for (because a lot of interactive fiction games give you MC names to choose from and I want a sense of the setting before I develop an OC). Admittedly all of my MCs for Love Island started in a very self-inserty kind of way. With LITG, I came into each season with a name I wanted to use. But then the game’s options of career and love interests available really develop my OC’s personality as I played.
Clara is an OC I came up with for Hogwarts Mystery, so I put her in S1 and immediately her personality fit because S1 was just brutal (and she’s a really vicious person when she wants to be). I kind of came into S2 wanting to play an equally aggressive, intendent, snappy kind of character but that just didn’t work for S2. Admittedly, charity worker is like 80% of Sveta’s personality, but then her bouncing from LI to LI as she never really clicked with anyone, being a doormat and solving literally all the conflicts, and being best friends with Noah only to fall for him really fleshed out her personality. The same happened with S3, I came in without much of an understanding of who Delia was, and then through all the ‘LOL RANDOM XD’ jokes came to learn that she’s insufferable.
And then Bellamy came about when I wanted to create an OC for an AU some friends were developing. I knew going in that I wanted to do a transmasc character that came in during CA, and then I knew I wanted him with Shannon, and his personality kind of formed around those things. Shane was created because I was thinking about the kind of person that would actually be good for Lottie to date (because Gary and Hannah are incredibly toxic for her). Ultimately for me, my OCs are more about the role they fill in the game and being fun to play/me liking them than they are about creating a unique or fully realized character to share with others.
If anyone’s looking for my advice on how to develop a MC before playing, which I’m sure no one is but every interaction with the world is just a monologue on my part, it helps me most to ask myself why my MC is coming on the show/being involved in the impetus of whatever game I’m playing, and to contextualize their life outside of it. Ami wanted to come onto Love Island because he wanted to promote his jewelry business, Clara because she was bored and wanted to have a Hot Girl Summer surrounded by a bunch of other equally hot women, Sveta because she desperately needed a vacation and it seemed like a pipedream (plus she absolutely was a fan of the show), and Delia because she’s impulsive and saw an application advert. Once you kinda get an idea of why they’re there and what their ‘normal’ life looks like, their behavior in the villa sort of falls into place.

@mzkrazypouita​
Tumblr media
(put under a cut b/c the message was p long~)
Hehehe this is getting juicy. Also from the previous ask I was under a time limit cuz I had to catch a ride. 🤣
Okay, IF, Trans Eddie did get pregnant, he’d be moody and cranky.
S/O: You can’t have this, you’re pregnant.
Eddie: FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-!!!
Rerouting his cravings to the home cuz he’s petty that way.
Eddie: Can’t tell me what to do. If baby wants this, then they’re gonna get it. Try and stop me. I hate everyone.
Baby bump kick
Eddie: Don’t you start either!
Gotham will not be spared XD
~~~
Back to Ellen x Eddie Child (we gotta think of a nickname or something. I do have a name for my own Ellen X Eddie kid Oc, but I’m all for a random nickname)
This child is definitely both brain and brawn despite having a lean figure like their parents, so it’s definitely a surprise that they can throw a hecking mean punch. Of course, we see TB Riddler’s father for a glimpse. Possibly inherited strength from a grandparent…
Tho I do like the idea of a Calvin and Hobbes scenario of Calvin learning to catch the baseball with his dad cuz he wanted to get into sports and is accidentally beaned on the nose. (And then that goes into angst territory as that could actually use the “champ” trigger and Edward sees red for a moment. That’s all it takes.)
Either way, it’s only going to make Eddie feel even more awful than he already is and Yin comfort Eddie’s “I’m a horrible father” monologue even though their child is perfectly fine (either a black eye or a bloody nose, but it was just a fluke and has already forgiven the entire thing) Man, are kids sturdy AF
Even after the accident, Eddie looks at his child and there’s that same shining adoration of a child’s pure love for their parent. It doesn’t make him feel any better, but it does lighten his mood that his child still looks up to their father.
“Nice arm dad! 8D”
“…(nervous laugh)…let’s not talk about it anymore. Okay?”
“Okay! 8)”
~~~
Bully or Godsend?
There’s an irony in the “bully who bullies a bully”. It’s either just as bad, making things worse, or is seen as admirable depending on the situation.
Older child is definitely playing the bad cop of intimidation, using smarts to usually get what they want, or the usual “I’m your friend and you can trust me, just tell me what I need to know and I can take care of the problem for you. Nobody needs to know.”
Practically providing a service and having their own little posse of friends. Usually those that can’t protect themselves, or the usual outcasts + brawn and no brain but attracted to charisma and possible friends, but there’s always a leader of the pack and that’s where Ellen and Edward’s child is placed at.
Yin: I don’t know. On one hand, it’s nice to have friends. But in the other hand, I don’t like how they’re making friends.
Eddie: At least they’re making friends. What more do you want?
Eddie and Ellen possibly butting heads over this given their two perspectives + “I don’t want to be the bad guy here, but one of us needs to give them a good conversation”
Cuz Edward’s pretty darn vengeful like you said and just goes “I don’t see what the problem is” vs Yin’s own lessons learned and go, “you either don’t want to see or are to proud to admit it”
Course they don’t argue about it in front of the child. Feels like that could make things worse and try the “take turns to confront the matter” route to give their child a better perspective of things.
They know their child certainly looks up and adores both of their parents. There isn’t a “they like you more” debate. Yin’s got her own thing and Eddie’s got his own thing. There’s no competition or anything about it. So that helps things a bit.
Bruce and Ethan being more friends to Yin, but Batman being a possibly ally to Eddie about “You’ve changed. But you can’t let your own past cloud your judgements. Deep down, you know that, Eddie. Just keep an eye out.”
Edward’s not trying to create a little version of himself, only wanting to give his child the things he never had growing up.
Yin’s not trying to create the perfect child, only wanting that her kid do the right thing and recognize their actions do affect others
They most certainly can agree on that.
But, there’s always another concern. Is this usual kid behavior that just needs proper guidance…or could there be something more that they’re not looking into.
Plus there’s definitely prejudice against Riddler and comments like “no wonder that child is messed up” or “young Sheldon gone psycho brought up. Which is a downright awful to say to a child or about a child in general and definitely Eddie & Yin are not going to take that lightly.
High thoughts that Edward would hide this criminal reputation from his child. After all, people are hero and villain fans, even kids, and Eddie doesn’t want his child to look up to him in that light. Not like that. Never like that.
Ellen would definitely back up Eddie on that, especially since kids do dumb things for their idols. She’s probably seen it first hand as well in her work. Is their child like that? No…but…better to nip it in the bud. And even then, perhaps a good stern talking too by mom would do the trick.
“If someone told you to jump off a cliff, would you?”
“What if I told them to jump?”
“That’s not what I meant and you know it. Look. I know you’re smarter than this and I’m not here to punish you about anything. You’re father and I don’t want you getting yourself into a mess that even we can’t help you get out of. Do you understand?”
Yin’s certainly got her way with words.
Bruce/Batman and Ethan could possibly be that heroic role models of “it’s good to stand up for others, but this isn’t the way to do it. Tell an adult. Do you understand?” Only to be confronted with something snarky.
“I tuned you out the moment you started sounding like a D.A.R.E commercial featuring McGruff the Crime Dog and El Kabong. Did my parents pay you to talk to me?”
Bruce/Batman and Ethan: … >.>
Cue Batgirl and Robin trying so hard not to laugh as they overhear that comment.
--
(not talkin about the preggo part b/c i’m not into that--i think u answered my ask about it but when i went to look, it was gone? either way yeah)
ehhh, not too into edward actually hitting his kid. ‘champ’ is a massive trigger but even at his worst he had a moment to snarl and think, even if that was thinking about “what nearby to grab as a weapon”. getting close or absolutely screaming at ‘em would be enough to shake him horribly :V Go Get Therapy Sir. if he hadn’t already. 
bullying can be a tough thing for everyone to deal with! really can’t count on the school to do anything, either. i have the idea that maybe yin does try to reach out also through school somewhat only to get stonewalled by how useless they are and eddie being semi-smug (this situation sucks but he has experience, probably) about how he told her so in the middle of all this.
also man i sincerely do appreciate you sending these asks, especially since almost nobody talks about tb in general, but i’m burning out pretty fast on this topic--not a huge fan of fan kiddos, tbh v_v you might want to just make posts in the “the batman (2004)″ tag on your blog instead since i personally am not going to have much more to say about these things, and you’ve got a lot to say about ‘em!

Headcanons and discussion about Bo’s parents
So @yes-i-nijihamu-can​ has arised quite an interesting debate regarding the lore surrounding Prince Bo from Hamtaro.
Now, if you have known me for any number of years, you must be aware that I am an absolute fan of the little guy. Probably the main reason that the love for Hamtaro lived in me for this long.
Before getting on to the question Who are Bo’s parents I would like to indulge myself a little and explain my personal headcanons about Bo and Rainbow Land.
So, basically, the ending of OVA 3 confirms Bo stops beings a “prince” and becomes the King of Rainbow Land. My headcanon/fanfic, call it as you may, drinks a lot from this very point on the Hamtaro lore (we’re not going to discuss here if movies/OVAs are canon in the continuity or not).
To be brief, the Rainbow Land has a group of special forces called the “Knights of Colors”, there are 7, each for every color of the rainbow, and they have special powers. Each King appoints their own Knights under special circumstances. My OC is one of them, hence why I have given a lot of thought to flesh out the whole Rainbow Land lore.
Anyways, due that, some of my headcanons are as follows: -The Rainbow Girls are not just any random girls, they’re Bo’s concubines. Now, let’s not jump to conclusions here. Much like the Knights of Color, these three girls are chosen (from birth) to serve Bo, and one of them gets to be his official wife, becoming Queen. The other two are then free to follow their own path and marry whoever they want. After all the drama of the “break-up”, of course. -The Rainbow Girls are very special hamsters. Let’s keep in mind that not every hamster in Rainbow Land looks like Bo: antennae, colored cheeks, small “dot” noise and wings. The only hamsters that look like that are the Baby Bo bunch, the Rainbow Girls and Bo himself. Hence, I believe they’re from a different race than other hamsters, the Rainbow Hamsters. Originally they were related to Bo (cousins), but it is a little violent so we can tone it down to just aristocracy/nobility. -Now, for drama and also to give it a little more continuity to my stories, I made a special rule: there could never be two Kings alive. For a Prince to become King, their father must pass out. And how do we make sure this happens in a way that the Prince is still somewhat young? Well, once a Prince is born, the King starts to age relatively fast and writhes and dies in a matter of years (hamster years thats it).
I could go on and on for a while about my whole headcanon, but these are the things I think that are related to the question in hand.
Now, to answer: who are Bo’s parents?
The third OVA shows us a human-like figure of a woman at the start, that gives Bo his mission. This same human-like figure tests Bo shaped like a monster or dragon and gives the final speech to acknowledge Bo has passed his test, revealing that it was all an illusion created by her. And that’s the last we see of her.
Most people naturally think that she is the Queen (Bo addresses her like that) and hence Bo’s mother.
But... why?
Why does she have to be the Queen of Rainbow Land? If she were, what need would there be to have Bo become a King?
What if she was the Queen of something else?
That’s the whole point. She is not the Queen of Rainbow Land, she is the Queen. Where from? That we will never know for real.
My personal take is that either she is the Queen of Cosmos or at least the Queen of the Sun.
The place where Bo meets her, which is the top-most room of the whole castle, can only be accessed through a (rather dangerous) set of stairs. We have seen this on the third movie too, leading to the altar with the Miracle Mirror. It probably just means that those stairs are “special” and only made to be walked on when needed to have an audience with the Queen.
Tumblr media
She also appears from a rainbow and looks transparent, which can be implied that she is not there physically (she also seems to be sitting down and resting her arm on something, but there’s no throne or anything before she shows up). The room itself has two stained glasses works that I can’t really make of the shape for (the left one looks like a Sun throwing rays under it) and the background looks like space with a “geode” in the middle.
Tumblr media
Also, her whole appearance is kinda revealing. She has a Sun brooch on her chest and her hair looks like clouds. I always thought that there was a need for a King and so I figured that she would be the Queen of the Clouds, but she can perfectly personate both Queen of the Sun and Clouds, making a King redundant. The only thing I don’t get about her design is those weird gloves.
Tumblr media
So there we go. This mysterious lady is not necessarily Bo’s mother, but just a superior entity (goddess, immortal queen, you name it) that rules over the special worlds (Hamtaro is full of these: the Sunflower Kingdom, Rainbow Land, Sweet Paradise, Ham-Ham Land, Hamujya Kingdom, Aurora Village, Ayayamu’s subspace...). Or at least she rules over rainbows, which are made by the Sun and clouds (rain).
Her role is probably just guiding the Royal Family, for example, making Bo take a test to see if he is fit to rule (he was a little shit before learning about friendship thanks to Hamtaro, for example).
Phew, that was a lot. Now, who are Bo’s parents then.
During the whole series, we get to see Bo a bunch of times, and he is always either losing his umbrella or training the Rainbow Girls. Why is this? Because he is preparing himself to be King. Hamtaro acknowledges in episode 222 that he met Bo before “in a dream”. This, due canon continuity, probably refers to episode 181, but it can also mean the third OVA. The ending of that special episode is a little ambiguous and leaves to the watcher the decision as to wether the whole adventure with Bo was Hamtaro’s dream or it actually happened. Again, not going to discuss if the movies/OVAs are canon or not.
The point is that he is not yet King when he does all this. So he is training. In the videogames (once again, not gonna discuss if games are canon compared to anime), we can see him crying asking his parents for help at one moment (thanks @yes-i-nijihamu-can​ for pointing that out) which can be either a translation license from the japanese game (I’m not gonna bother checking it) or that his parents are still alive during that time. None other Ham-Ham (except Hamtaro) knows who their parents are, or have ever addressed them at all. So Bo must have real parents that live in Rainbow Land.
They don’t show up during the OVA or any other media... probably because they’re not necessary for the story (or they’re dead, at least his dad haha) and introducing them would just be weird as literally no other hamster in the whole series knows about their parents (except for Sunflower Princess, Tux (whom we only know his grandma) and Hamtaro). Plus if it is time for Bo to ascend to the throne it must be because, at least his dad, have passed out. But they just can’t say that in a kid show, can they?
So yeah, I think that sums up about everything... What do you think? I hope you have enjoyed my little monologue about Bo and Rainbow Land.

Enraged
Warnings: high school AU, cursing, angry Sasuke
Pairings: implied Sasuke x Reader
Enraged, he slams his arm against the board, his long fingers itching to rip off the paper and burn it along with his crushed ambition. No one would see him do it as the halls were yet to be filled for another hour and the staff busy conversing in a closed-off area, but he was certain there were cameras everywhere and lifts his arm away.
The words glare at him and he glares back, willing it to burn as he wishes but he knew from past efforts that nothing could be done after this.
Konohagakure High School’s Top Twenty Honors Students 1.  [Last name], [Name] 2. Uchiha, Sasuke 
He never bothered to read the rest, as he was too preoccupied wondering how could this one person hold his deserved rank so unabashedly? He had spent too much time with his nose in his books and sleepless nights cramming, and he was yet again unable to outdo whoever this girl was. 
He hears footsteps behind him not long after he sees a girl he had grown accustomed to. She would always come a half an hour after him and before the students and glance at the very sheet he spends seamlessly staring at. They’ve never spoken a word to each other and he sometimes wonders why she never seems discouraged but he doesn’t ask because that isn’t his business.
As per usual, she takes her glance and isn’t bothered by his presence, before sighing slowly.
“Are you unimpressed?”
He is just as surprised as she is by his random initiative to speak, but she recovers quickly and mats her hair as if in thought.
“Not really,” she says slowly, looking up at him with slightly squinting [colour] eyes.
He turns back to the large pin-up board and narrows his eyes at the first slot, before mumbling under his breath.
“Did you say something?” She asks while adjusting the large books onto her right arm, a sign that he’s come to know indicates she’s about to leave. 
“I need more books.” He repeats a little louder, a frown marring his pale face when she laughs and waves him off.
“Studying isn’t everything Sasuke Uchiha.”
His frown becomes deeper and he stares as she turns away, and he doesn’t understand what comes over him when he asks, “What’s your name?”
Her eyes twinkle and she cringes a bit, a reaction which seems uncommon to him before she takes a deep breath and animatedly gestures flipping her hair off her shoulder.
“[Name].”
The air is basically knocked out of him as his lungs constrict and all the choice words he’d been saving up if he ever met her could not escape his lips. He had unintentionally been entertaining the enemy for years now and he never knew it?
She struts away sickeningly confident after shooting him a half-smile, and his hand unknowingly ball into fists. How hadn’t he known?
He finds her in the girl’s bathroom on the second floor, leaning against the basins while formerly reading what seemed like some notes. Her eyes are wide and she looks around dumbly and he wonders how on Earth she had kept the first rank when clearly she had no –
“You’re not supposed to be in here.” She states cutting off his internal monologue, though she is calm and her eyes momentarily stay on him.
“How are you first?” He asks impatiently, his teeth clenched and his fists balled.
  “Well great magicians don’t tell their secrets, right?” She smiles as she jabs a finger to him, but he is not amused. [Name] drops her hand and purses her lips as she gazes at him in wonder. “You’re a hard worker, aren’t you?”
“Aren’t you?” He asked incredulously, before scoffing. “Are you really….” He choked slightly, before furrowing his eyebrows.
“Oh, dude,” she sighed, “you can’t even say my name? Do you hate me that much?”
He didn’t. He actually thought she was the most laid-back girl, whenever they stared at the board together every morning for the past five years in silence, and assumed she could be the only friend he’d accept.
Before he realized she and his ultimate nemesis were the same person. How could he have not realized it? More so –
“Did you know?” he asked quietly, looking at her with disappointment. She nodded slowly and confirmed it. “I can’t believe this…”
They are quiet for a moment, for very different reasons, before [Name] smiles and attracts his attention back to her.
“I have a proposition,” she says while glancing at her watch, fifteen minutes before the first few students appeared. Sasuke folded his arms, and she took it as a sign that he was listening. “I can help you improve your grade without more cramming or new books.”
He scoffed indignantly. “Why do you assume I need your help?”
“I have this thing where I assume, and my assumptions are right, so I always go with the flow, you know? Hey, that rhymed! I’m a total genius!” She sighed and stared off for a moment. “What was I going to say?”
Sasuke stared at her incredulously. Did she have some sort of mental illness? Was it contagious?
“I must admit, the many years you kept growling at the board kind of made me remorseful, especially since I catch you studying more than you breathe, so I promised myself the moment you break the trend and talk to me, I would tell you where you went wrong and help you, okay?”
She spoke in such a sincere way; he almost apologized for snapping at her before.
Almost.
“Starting today, you will spend every free moment with me, and I promise you will see some improvement very soon.”
He raised an eyebrow. “And how do I know you’re not lying?”
[Name] checked her watch, seeing only ten minutes left, before facing him with a bright smile, one which he’d correlated to ambition-less people. 
“We have a pop quiz at the end of this week on Human Transport Systems, and I know for one your average score in Biology is 94 percent,” he narrowed his eyes suspiciously and she sighed loudly. “I keep track of you just as much as you keep track of me, okay? Anyways, you follow my methods this week and I can guarantee you’ll get at least a 98 on this quiz. Though I need one thing and one thing only in return.”
There is a pregnant pause as he re-evaluates her claim. He had nothing to lose, as the coming quiz would not affect their overall grade and therefore if he did score lower than his average, it would not harm him too much. She seemed really genuine throughout her little explanation and he was planning on cramming to no end anyways. Was there really an easier method? 
“Alright,” he decides, dropping the defensive stance and folding his arms across his chest nonchalantly. “What do you want?”
“It’s very simple really,” he has a clue on what she’d like just from her little smirk of triumph. “Your cooperation.”
What?!
“That’s it?”
“Well, yeah,” she shrugged, “It’s not like I proved anything yet so I’m in no place to ask for things.”
He recoiled abruptly. That made so much sense; why didn’t he think of it? Maybe she was really smart.
"Well then," [Name] awkwardly shifted her weight and looked away from his piercing gaze. "I guess I'll see you later."
Sasuke stayed rooted as she brushed past him in a blur and left him in the girls' bathroom. He was trying to recollect what had just happened, when he realized she hadn't mentioned a time he was supposed to meet her. He narrowed his eyes.
"Idiot."
-break- His lips were pursed in infuriation as he sat picking at his food. He was suddenly hungry and started to genuinely dig in, when his father erupted into a hearty, yet uncommon laugh. His elder brother received a pat on the back and the usual gushes of pride from the otherwise stoic Uchiha patriarch. He slumped his shoulders and his eyes stayed fixated on his plate.
"How about you Sasuke?" 
The silence that followed his kind mother's question was suffocating. He hid behind his bangs when his father's smiling eyes turned stone cold when it landed on his youngest son, scrutinizing and unimpressed, just as they always were. He muttered a quick reply and got up abruptly. His mother stared sadly as he walked away.
Sasuke slammed his door shut, locked it, and lay back on his bed. Papers and books were sprawled all over the room, and he reminded himself grudgingly of the test at the end of the week he had to cram for. Consequently, a certain girl with a stupid grin popped in his thought. He couldn't understand how someone like her could ever achieve higher than himself, more so when she blatantly stated how she didn't study as much as him.
He sat up. Maybe she cheated some way or another?
Later, he was seated at his messy desk, highlighting important information in his biology text book and making notes on the side. The digital clock read 23:43, so he dropped his highlighter and pen and rubbed his eyes tiredly. He still had seven sections to go until he completed the unit.
Sasuke grabbed his phone and found a text message from an unknown number. He stared at the bright screen for a moment, before tapping on the notification.
Step one: No studying after dinner, assuming you eat by seven. And if you don't eat dinner then we have bigger issues. No skipping meals either dude. Please retire for the night.
He blinked comically. This was certainly her.
  Sasuke growled under his breath and glared at the message as if it was [Name]. Who did she think she was telling him to go to bed?!
His phone vibrated and another notification came from the same number.
Remember our deal; you agreed to cooperate. Gosh Sasuke, I felt your malice all the way where I live.
Fine. Stop texting me.
He slid under his sheets and stared at his phone. Maybe this was his ticket to freedom; his route to receive that pat on the back from his father. He wanted to see how this turns out.
~fin
This was actually the beginning of a sasuke x oc story I wrote way back and never posted. I’ve got about a thousand of these and thought I’d edit this one and throw over here. Let me know what you think!

Of Being a Ladybug 12
Previous   Master Post
Okay, NOTES! Please read! Now, I don’t think I ever went into detail about DC timelines or ages… Damien is a year older than Marinette (putting him at 15 years old right now, the average age for the Robin to take over a leadership position), Making Tim 22 and Stephanie 21 (unless anyone can tell me where the hell I can find her actual age in comparison to the others), Jason is 24, Richard is about to turn 30. Cassandra Cain is 24, and Barbara Gordon died in the Joker attack (I have plans).
So in the hands of good we have the (dormant) Turtle, Juleka as the fox (Ruse), Luka as Vipereon, Chloe as Vespa and Kagami as Ryouko. Marlene Seely (my OC) has taken on the Ladybug Mantle and is known as Kaefer.
Loose on the world at large: The Mouse Miraculous (Thief in India), The Horse Miraculous (human trafficker in Germany), The Black Cat (causing destruction at random in Paris), The Butterfly (also in Paris), Monkey Miraculous (in Jump City, causing all weapons but Death Stroke’s to fail), Peacock Miraculous (dormant).
SEND ME ASKS!!!!
The cons of missing jewelry
*!!*
Alya walked into her school for the last week before winter break. Mandatory counselling, restricted internet and computer use, controlled and regulated interaction with friends, bi-weekly community-service… Alya was happy to be preparing for Lycée the following year. Francois-Dupont had agreed to wipe clean their records for a full year of good behaviour, but they had to adhere to a very strict regime put into place by their new principle, a Monsieur Asselah. French-Muslim born, Bilal Asselah came to the school at the beginning of this year and had come down on the student body for their descending grades and lack of emotional control. He enforced counselling and even therapy sessions on all students. He enforced anti-bullying rules. He enforced equality among the students and equal treatment to all. Monsieur Asselah was also very quiet, hard to anger, and polite. Alya liked him, for all that she wasn’t allowed to speak with her old group of friends anymore. She also knew (from counselling) that she was one of the few still having a hard time moving on. Alya was stuck in the past, but hopefully moving to Lycée will help her think of the bigger picture.
“Yeah, Luka really missed her. He hasn’t picked that guitar up since she left. He was gone way longer than he was supposed to but being with Marinette was more important to him…” Alya stopped dead in her tracks. She glanced over her shoulder and saw Juleka walking next to an unfamiliar girl with brown hair. The girl nodded.
“So weird. I didn’t know him before, but seeing how relaxed he was? I bet you they start dating soon!”
“I don’t know… Luka always had a thing for her, but Marinette always… I don’t know…”
Alya was struck. How long had it been since she thought about Marinette? She tried not to, really, because thinking about Marinette meant thinking about Ladybug and the new fox hero (that still gave her a twinge in her chest, that still made her eyes sting with frustration) and Alya didn’t have much time to focus on the things she couldn’t fix. A part of her, a small part, recognized that had Alya simply listened to Marinette, had she trusted her best friend, Alya wouldn’t be in as much trouble now. Marinette hadn’t tried to find Alya to bestow the fox miraculous to. She hadn’t said goodbye. Or tried to send a single letter to her. Alya hadn’t thought much of Marinette in the past year. But it sure hurt to hear Juleka and some random stranger knew where she was and Alya didn’t.
‘Hello Loner… I am Mourning Cloak. You and I, we both lost someone precious. Let’s wreak some havoc and see if they won’t come back…’
“Yes, Mourning Cloak.”

Adrien sat forward as he watched the News in Paris. Another random Akuma with no actual direction. Another sighting of Svart Katt, fighting against the Parisian heroes and causing destruction for fun. Adrien frowned. How… How could Plagg let Wilhelm use him like this? How could Wilhelm think this was what he’d wanted? The TV went blank and Adrien almost screamed.
“You shouldn’t be watching those things. You’re away from there now” his aunt Amelie walked further into the room, putting the remote down on a shelf as she walked. Adrien had never told them that he had been Chat Noir, which is how he was acquitted. Only that he had never known anything was amiss. His aunt and cousin did their best to shield him from the masses, from the news, and from the situation in Paris. But they couldn’t hide everything, and Adrien knew that his father had tried to get in contact multiple times since the first sighting of Svart.  
“You don’t understand Aunty…”
“No! Enough! Adrien, you need to live in the now! And right now, you are in London, not Paris. Now, get ready, we’re meeting with the Johnson & Johnson agents” and with that she walked out of the room.
Adrien sighed. How had he messed up so badly?
< ( ^ ^ ) >
Batman walked the halls of the Justice Tower with quiet steps and clenched fists. This was his first meeting with them since taking Marinette in. Marinette had a dancing lesson that night.
“Batman, you finally made it!” Flash called from the left.
“… my daughter needed me…” he was usually the last person to volunteer personal information but seeing Diana flinch in her seat was well worth it.
“How is Maria?” Diana asked gently as he took his seat.
He didn’t answer. Instead he turned he gaze to Superman, telling the room to shut up and listen. As Superman went on to give reports about recent problems around the world, caused by the accursed Miraculous Jewelry, Batman sat in his seat, impassive. In his head he kept a constant monologue of “Do not Kill. Do not Attack. Do not Shout. Do not, Do not, Do not…”
When the meeting concluded, Batman made to make a quick exit. He couldn’t be around them. Not right now, when he felt like he might actually attack them, whether verbally or physically.
‘Marinette need you to pick her up from dance. Marinette needs you to help her with her physics homework. Marinette needs help in filling out her University application.’
“Bruce! Please, how is Maria?” Diana had followed his brisk exit.
“Who is Maria?” he asked instead. If he sounded like he normally did when fighting Joker, well…
Diana stepped back. “Maria, my -- ”
“Your Nothing! Her name is Marinette! Marinette Wayne, and she is alive and growing and coming out of her shell, not thanks to anything you did! How… How could you have possibly thought anything you did to her was acceptable?! How would shaving her hair and telling her to basically kill herself help her?!” Bruce couldn’t hold back his fury anymore. He shoved his cowl off his head and glared at her as he stepped into her space. “You had one job, Diana. To protect her. You failed.”
He turned on his heel and slammed the elevator button to get the hell away from this place. He would tell Alfred to take over meetings until it became relevant to him. Otherwise, he was going to avoid this place like the plague.

In Arkham, a maniac laugh could be heard through out the halls. Freedom!
