#//very much wants 2 protect his scout kids.....

[hopeformankind]

@expvrgction sent:

It appears that someone has left an item at Erwin's doorstep. By the time he opens it on his way out, he would find an unusually large chunk of what could only be called a gemstone. It was blue in color and had a crystal-like consistency, and yet... It looked nearly nothing like any precious stones found within any walled-off territory, let alone of this world. And there was a mark carved on it. Well, as long as this thing wasn't causing any significant harm, but who the hell sent this? It would have helped if it had any indicator of the sender and who would receive it. If he tried to look for the sender, they would be already gone from view. Weird. (kahann sending random items to someone to see their reaction? who knew? this time it's erwin, lol)

" Commander Erwin--! We found this outside...! " Many Scouts were left in awe at this odd Iceburst-like crystal that lingered at the doorstep of the Scouts HQ. Tensions had been quick to heighten at the sight of it-- and whatever it was, the Scouts couldn't tell if it was a gift or a possible item that could completely destroy them. After all sorts of dealings with the Military Police, their Interior forces and everything that led to Historia's coronation-- they were very much on edge.

Erwin's head tilted down as he stared at the crystal, brows slowly beginning to crease in concern-- he could already hear Hange's excitement about it. This wasn't anything like what they'd ever seen before-- and as such, it must be treated with absolute caution.

" Wear protective equipment and escort it to the Research grounds. Section-Commander Hange, I expect you'll be prepared to study it, but I order that you exercise caution. We don't know what this is just yet... "

(AN: Part Two has been reuploaded after a takedown, godspeed @yanderereblogs for saving it! Mmmmmm, old men. Everyone pictured as a student is OF LEGAL AGE TUMBLR MODS HOP OFF MY DICK.

Background: Thinking about a Headmasters Son or Daughter!Reader at a private boarding school. For a Fem!Reader, perhaps you're just visiting daddy for the season while he's running the school, or maybe you've been bad, and need more supervision. For a Masc!Reader, it could be the same case, however, with Ridgemoore Academy being an all male school, this makes it easier to imagine a world where reader is allowed in the school. Now, let's focus on the faculty...

◇ Mr. Joel Murphy, who teaches the majority of the 'life skills' classes at the school. The school being all-boys is very traditional, and teaches things like game hunting and orienteering, which is why they hired a manly-man like Joel. If only they knew what a bitter grump he is. An ex-sheriff of the nearby town, he decided to leave the force after realizing there was no real crime in the small, privileged town, and decided to take up an easy job at the school. Unfortunately, he realized his love for camping and hunting is warped into what he considers 'frilly shit for rich little boys'. He's gruff, barking out orders and easily been exasperated at the sheer incompetence of the boys.

"Shoot one quail, and these boys act like they killed a bear..."

He thought about retiring from yet another job, as living on the ritzy campus just doesn't feel like home to him, and lord knows he's not fond of his job. However, things change when you arrive. Whether you're a delinquent or a little more sweet and obedient, he likes you. If you're a delinquent, he likes seeing a little hell-raiser kick up some shit at the fancy school. If you're sweet or shy, he gets protective. Nice youngins' like you shouldn't be thrown in amongst these spoiled weasels.

He's sure to help you if you need it, a gentle hand on your back as his burly chest presses against your shoulder blades, adjusting your position against the butt of a rifle. Standing by while you're on hands and knees trying to light a fire, making sure none of the boys are trying to get a look at your assessts. Not that he isn't going to, but he justifies it to himself as just making sure your school shorts/skirt is regulation. He's protecting your modesty. After class hours, come to him with any issues, or shit, even his room. He'll put on some coffee and ask you to help him create a curriculum that 'reaches the kids', as your father instructed him to. It's cozy, the fancy school adnorments thrown away for medals and plaques, national parks posters and a few old family photos. He'll keep you tucked in on his warm couch while he strays from curriculum talk to stories of his time in the scouts and on the force. Tells you about how much he loves just... laying out under the stars with somebody special, to sit around a campfire with friends, then slyly ask is you've ever had somebody to do that with. He knows you're younger than him, and he struggles with the idea that you won't want him cause of it, so for now, he'll bask in the feeling of seeing you curled up in his room, keeping the idea of picking you up and having you accept his cock to himself. If you can get pregnant, his fists his cock to the thought of that too. He's not some horned up boy, he wants you in the long term.

He looooooves the yearly orienteering final, in which the students in the class are made to go on an actual camping trip. It's possible a tent will 'accidentally' go missing, leaving you to bunk with him. Don't worry, nothing bads gonna happen while you've got this burly bear of a man practically spooning you, warm gut from his dad-bod pressed against you as he tries his best to make sure he doesn't scare you.

"Sorry those damn boys left your tent back at the school, kiddo. I... wouldn't be suprised of one of them did it on purpose, little bastards." He grumbles, hoping you'll take the hint to separate yourself from those immature preps and stick to being with a man who can treat you right. "Remember that lesson from a couple weeks ago, on body heat? I know it's awkward, but we've only got one sleeping bag. You feel like you can trust this old man to keep you warm?" Unfortunately for his ego and trying to keep down his urges, the trees aren't going to be the only wood in the morning.

◇ Mr. Paul Burton, head of the arts department. He's so over this, a once decent artist who dabbled in pop art and theatre only to stop getting gigs and be black-listed after offending several more famous artists, calling their work 'sell-out chic', he's now a burn-out who smokes and ignores his students all class. He's passionate about art, but frankly he doesn't want tow aste his time teaching when he knows these rats are taking his class for easy credit. He's only teaching here to utilize the facilities and studios so he's not living in a van in the Walmart parking lot. A mix of hippie culture, live and let live and cynical burnout, he's so. Fucking. Done. But... maybe you change that for him.

You're interesting, a headmasters child who doesn't fit in to your fathers perfect mold? Maybe a rebellious student who goes against the grain of this perfect school. Or a blooming ray of sunshine in this dark den of privilege and conformist curriculum for the future lawyers of the world. Either way, he's found a new muse. See him after class.

He'll be thrilled if you're into art, let him guide you. Tell him your favorite artists and he'll tell you when he threw up on there shoes by accident in his hey-day. Gossip about a student you don't like, he'll listen while he smokes and tell you about how that guys mom hit on him. He loves to gossip, but he loves to watch you create more. The way your hands shape a vase or brush across a canvas light a fire in him he hasn't felt in a while. He's more willing to forgo the age gap between you, while it's never something he considered before, he knows he's not gonna let go of the one thing that makes him feel like he lives again. Besides, he's always been unconventional.

He'll have you stay after class, maybe he'll have you pose nude for a painting, assuring you it's fins, it's platonic, it's just for the love of art. He chooses and extra large canvas, it lets him paint while he relieves himself as you explain you're getting cold. He'll put on some artsy, silent, black and white film from the 30s, and while you watch and slowly realize it's pornographic, He'll grin to himself while he watches you flush. He'll ask you all sorts of questions about your thoughts on the film, the actors, what they're doing. He really wants to figure out how experienced you are. "What do you think of the composition? It's really carnal, you know?" He puts out his cigarette. "I'm glad I can show this to you, you'll actually appreciate it. You're not giggling like an idiot when some guys penis is out on the screen." He groans, thinking of his other students.

He does actually like one student, though they make an odd pair. Joseph's easily spooked and shy personality clashes with the brash older man's, but he's glad to have someone he can think of as a protege. Someone who loves art as much as him, but get isolated for it. He was doing a portfolio look over when Joseph accidentally turned in the wrong folder. Joseph feels like he might die as Mr. Burton, a man he admires, flips through nude pictures of the object of his affection, and at a distance no less. A part of him wants to rip it away, but he needs this scholarship.

"Please, please, sir! I-I'll never do it again, it was just a phase, I didn't mean for you to see-"

"They're good." Mr. Burton flips through the folder. "Real good. You could really get somewhere with these, maybe not in the fine art scene, but... tell you what." He adjusts his glasses and leans forward on his desk. "We'll do a special session, you and me, yeah? I'll get your friend here, and I'll vouch for your integrity so you can take some less-" he purses his lips. "Stalker-ish pics- Jesus, kid, is that taken from a tree?"

☆ Anatoli Sidorov, probably the best paid staff given how they got him here. He's a Russian coach for a former Olympic Russian swim team, and he joined the prestigious American school to escape shame after he 'resigned' post a doping scandal which he swears he wasn't involved in. (Whether he was or not is your choice.) Still, he's led the boys swim team and track team to nationals several times, and he's a legend among the wealthy benefactors of the school. He's outwardly very serious, hard on his team but respectful of them. He doesn't put up with any unruly or unsportsmanlike behavior from his boys, at least not what he can see. He's very nice deep down, intellectual and funny, though he still struggles with American humor and English.

He adores you when he meets you, milking about with the other students before class. You seem genuinely social, and wanting to fit in. The idea someone could be so welcoming warms his heart. Deep down, he misses his home, and he misses the friends he once had. You're warm, and he likes that. Not to mention, you're a looker. He's embarrassed, especially if you're male, seeing as he never considered swinging the other way, and much less with someone younger. But he can't help but stare when your pretty tits bounce as you run, or the way those jogging shorts hardly conceal your bulge. He even pulled you to the side one to scold you for not wearing regulation gym clothes, before realizing they were and awkwardly sending you back into class. That was a moment of self-reflection for him.

He's not necessarily outwardly softer to you, you might even think he doesn't like you, given that he has you stay late to run or jump rope, or constantly pulls you into time out mid-game. It's all for your own good, trust him. He doesn't like the way some of the boys were looking at you, and he could tell Evan was a only a play away from trying to practically hump you while trying to 'get the ball'. He's made Harrison, who he loves as a player, run laps for talking to you for only a few minutes. He hates feeling like a jealous boy, but he can't help it. You make him feel young.

He establishes a private locker room area for you, since you're the headmasters kid and not an official student. Besides, you're clearly being harassed by the others! So, he's got a nice little closet for you, with a not suspicious air freshener that's not a hidden camera, and a private key only you have access to. (Technically that's true, he just has a bypass key for himself.) He'll snatch a pair of boxers or some panties, slipping them into his track coat for later. Eventually, he'll tell you he's worried you aren't able to catch up to the others, given that you arrived later and started the gym curriculum later than the others. He'll start having extra 'make-up' workouts with you, starting with stretching. One leg uo on the bar, you'll have to excuses his cold hand running along your thigh, or stroking over your chest as him just admiring how your strength and flexibility is evolving. He relishes the feeling of your body on his, groping you under the guise of training and resisting the urge to just slip aside your gym shorts and veg you to take him.

"Little star, part 'dem a little, there ve go." He keeps your legs parted as he works you into a position on your back, against the rubber mats the tumbling team had laid out. He lays just over you, pushing your legs back a little further with his arms, just far away enough to keep you from noticing his hard on, but enough to lightly press it against the plush swell of your ass. Good, let's just- fuck- hold. Let's hold."

☆ Kory Koffman, English teacher and part time librarian! The school outs so much effort into sports, both admin and students seem to forget about him. Hell, the library is used so little they fired the librarian, and he took it upon himself to try and care for the building himself. He's a sweet, shy man, who just wants to share his passion for literature with others. However, unlike Mr. Burton, he was never popular or famous, so he's content to keep to himself, but the loneliness does get to him.

When you wandered into his library one day, maybe looking for a book or seeking refuge from a hoarde ofadmirers, he was happy to welcome you into his little safe haven. He'll give you some warm tea from the little coffee machine he has set up, and sit you down. Let him help you find a book, or tell you about his creative writing class? He'd let you join, even late in the semester! It's not a very full class.

For the first time in his life, he finds himself craving the attention of another, of someone else's company, other than his books. He hasn't felt that need for connection since he was a boy, after his momma passed. He'll do anything to keep you there, and if reading isn't your thing, much to his chagrin, he'll add a DVD section to the library, but only good films and classic for you! No Adam Sandler, those movies are to overstimulating for poor Mr. Koffman.

As his feelings turn romantic, he's ashamed. You're a student, and he's a lonely old man, you deserve someone better, someone your age. However, the thought of you being with any of the many students who mock him in the halls or disrupt his class, the thought of hand you over to those-those imbeciles, hurts him. He wants you, and he's ashamed at the way his trousers go tight when you bend over to get a fallen book, or when you hand him his glasses after he misplaced them (again), the fact he just stares at your finger prints for awhile and refuses to clean the lens. He's not had sex in a long, long time, but he finds himself masturbating more than he ever did when he was younger. He'll watch library security footage openly, moaning and whimpering at his desk with no fear anybody will stop in, no one ever does but you. He wants you as his spouse, you already make his library, his home away from home seem brighter, imagine what you could do for his actual apartment.

"Oh, hello! It's good to see you, it's been a bit." He's a little bitter at that last statement, but adjusts his glasses and continues. "Just remember to stop by often, okay? I'd really, really hate to impose the late policy on you..."

☆ Atticus Critch, the schools latin instructor and head sponsor of student body, (not to mention the man in charge of detention), is a strict disciplinarian. He takes no nonsense from anyone, and despises the behavioral pardons given to boys like Evan or Harrison simply because they are athletes. Peter is obviously his favorite, and when he catches wind of the ways the boys around campus are speaking about you, he decides to take it upon himself to remove the distraction, by having Carter trail you and give you detention for minor inconveniences. Carter isn't particularly thrilled at always having to send you to detention instead of extorting you to get his rocks off, but he's hoping maybe he'll get to 'monitor' detention one of these days.

Initially, Mr. Critch has you doing small tasks, writing lines or organizing things, but soon he starts to see the appeal. If you're a good student for the most part, he's determined to keep you good, and away from all the vermin in this school. If you're bad, he's had plenty of experience in taming brats. He's open with his sexual desires, it his growing affection for you that makes him struggle.

If you've stayed out too late and broke curfew, you can spend detention on your knees, suckling his cock into the late hours. Maybe you've been running around with Tyler. He'll make you lay down on his desk and deny you your climax over and over again, asking 'if not making you cum' is what that boy does to you, never fully satisfying you. He'll make you beg to finish, and to promise you'll be good from now on.

"Come on, repeat it. Tell me you'll be good now, that you won't bother with BOYS-" He annuciates with a thrust, "When you have a man right here, whose willing to take time out of his day to discipline you!" One the amorous session is over though, he definitely softens, trying to prove he's more than a boy in many ways, including good aftercare. He'll dress your limp form back up in your uniform and walk you get you a cup of water from the fountain. "Only ten minutes till your detention is over, dear. Just sit there, take some time to reflect on how you got here." His tone is demeaning, but as he pets your scalp, his touch is so feather-light. Don't expect is to last into the next day though.

sleeping w/ the mercs [NOT LIKE THAT]

sorry the formatting is shit i made this on mobile 🫤

shitty headcanons abt the mercs rooms and ur guys’ sleeping arrangements hope u enjoy like and subscribe it’s rly long so it’s under the cut

scout:

-very very messy room

-but like he knows where all his shit is so whatever works for him

-his mattress is on the floor bro 💔 just kidding but his bed frame is pretty low to the ground so it might as well be

-he’s got a smaller bed and a single blanket so you both are gonna be cuddling whether you wanted to or not

-surprisingly soft sheets, he stole some of spy’s fancy silk ones so it’s pleasant

-always has a fan/AC unit going for the noise but his blanket is pretty thin so it’s colder than you’d probably prefer

-kicks a lot in his sleep so just be prepared 🤕

-doesn’t snore very loud but does drool a lot and he usually ends up laying his face on your chest/your head so you are gonna wake up a little soggy sorry 💔💔

-usually falls asleep around 11pm or midnight but does wake up at random hours of the early morning almost nightly before passing back out

-pretty much always wakes up before you, he goes on morning jogs everyday so if you’re up for it he’ll take you with him

-does like to surprise you with “breakfast” in bed (it’s dry cereal and a tiny carton of orange juice but he tried)

soldier:

-really REALLY plain room

-it’s a little eerie, everything is very clean and the walls are bare concrete bc the rooms at RED headquarters are basically prison cells

-the only decoration in his room is an american flag, his bedside table with a lamp and alarm clock and a little bald eagle stuffed animal the guys got him for christmas one year

-sleeps stiff as a board on his back so he isn’t the greatest cuddle buddy but will do so if you ask (he prefers spooning over anything else)

-he’s got a decently sized bed cause he’s a pretty big guy, so you’ve got room to move around

-his mattress is pretty hard though so it isn’t super comfortable but it’s better than the floor or some old military cot

-goes to bed at 10pm sharp every single night and wakes up at 5am for morning training and will try to get you to get up with him regardless of when you fell asleep

-if you don’t opt to get out of bed he does wake you up again with a plate of food (courtesy of engineer, soldier’s just the delivery guy)

pyro:

-probably the weirdest room out of everybody’s

-their bed is really nice, they’ve got a pillow top mattress and fuzzy blankets so it’s very soft but it’s overcrowded with some burnt looking stuffed animals and an insane amount of throw pillows

-the other decoration is really weird though don’t pay too much attention to it, it’s kinda creepy but it’s also pyro so 🤷🏻‍♀️

-doesn’t sleep in the flame-proof suit but they do sleep in onesie-esque pajamas

-doesn’t sleep in the mask either but they do use a sleeping mask and are usually face down in the pillows

-not the biggest cuddle person either but they aren’t above putting an arm around you or something similar

-always goes to sleep after you do and wakes up before you too

-they usually already have a cereal bar or some other sweet breakfast food on the nightside for you when you do wake up though

demo:

-THE MOST WELCOMING COZIEST ROOM THE IDEAL ROOMIE

-very warm, comforting room, he’s got a fuzzy rug put down and only uses lamps because the overhead light usually hurts his eye

-very large, very soft bed with warm blankets and soft pillows

-the pillows all have a faint smell of whiskey but whatever

-very much a cuddler, sober or not. he doesn’t move around much in his sleep and is a very heavy sleeper so once he’s out he’s out and you are stuck in that bed until he wakes up

-does snore but it isn’t obnoxious

-takes the eyepatch off and wears a bonnet to bed to protect his hair (he has multiple but his favorite one has his family’s tartan as the pattern)

-a night owl, he doesn’t get to sleep until 2-3am and usually wakes up the latest out of everybody (around 9-10am) and he will get pouty if you aren’t there when he wakes up

engineer:

-his room is basically an extension of his workshop, he’s got a desk crammed full of random bullshit and blueprints he hasn’t gotten around to testing yet

-doesn’t spend much time in his actual room, so aside from extra tools, spare parts and papers there isn’t much in there

-his bed is actually pretty comfortable but he hardly ever makes it out of his workshop before passing out for the night so he wouldn’t know 😒

-when he DOES go to bed in his room, he is a HUGE cuddler, he will not let you go under any circumstances

-does snore pretty loud but if you wake him up he’ll readjust himself so he snores less

-usually sleeps on his left side so you don’t accidentally roll onto his prosthetic hand and hurt yourself

-no matter what time he fell asleep the previous night, he always gets up at 6am and makes the team breakfast. he’ll let you sleep more while he’s cooking and surprise you with breakfast in bed (even though he does it everyday so it isn’t much of a surprise)

heavy:

-HUGE ASS BED

-like california king

-he’s obviously a big guy but he does move around a lot so he needs a bigger bed so he won’t fall off every night

-very very warm bedding, he brought most of his stuff from russia so it’s built to keep you warm

-has a little teddy bear his mother handmade for him when he was first born; it’s pretty worn and tattered but he brings it with him anywhere he lives

-does have a little padded box for sasha at the foot of his bed

-isn’t the biggest sleep cuddler but he does like to hold you beforehand. he doesn’t mind when you cuddle him in your sleep, though, so by all means pass out on his chest if you feel like it

-does some reading before he goes to sleep and is usually in bed by 9 or 10pm; wakes up at 5 every morning so soldier doesn’t have to do his morning routine alone

-likes waking you up around 7am so the two of you can have some light conversation with engie during breakfast

medic:

-sleeps on the operating table

-just kidding, but he usually ends up passing out on his desk rather than his room

-his room is very sterile; it kinda feels like a doctor’s office, it smells faintly of rubbing alcohol and is a little drafty so it’s usually pretty chilly

-has birdcages hanging from the ceiling, archimedes has a fancier one compared to the rest of his doves but he swears he isn’t playing favorites

-if you do manage to get him to leave the medbay he’s usually pretty delirious. he’s very affectionate when he’s tired so he’s definitely down for cuddling

-is kinda blind without his glasses so he keeps them on until the very last minute before he falls asleep

-likes to tell you stories of when he did have his medical license and when he lived in germany

-usually falls asleep with his back to you but when he wakes up he’s holding you to his chest

-usually wakes up at 5am as well and goes straight into taking care of his birds, he likes to whistle littles tunes to them so that may end up waking you as well

-almost never eats breakfast but he will be pestering you about it because he’s a hypocrite

sniper:

-well

-it’s a camper van

-it’s very cramped but he’s used to it just being him in there so he never really realized

-his bed folds up into the wall when he isn’t using it and he keeps his bedding folded next to it

-very used to living in much hotter climates, and even though it is new mexico it gets pretty cold at night so he’s usually shivering his ass off under a thin sheet

-is surprisingly clingy for someone so introverted and quiet, he claims it’s because you keep him warm but he’s also just a mushy guy in secret

-usually falls asleep watching some shitty DVD on his little portable dvd player he keeps on a counter next to his bed

-keeps his kukri hidden next to the mattress just in case

-very light sleeper and once he’s awake, he’s awake. poor guy barely ever gets any sleep because soldier is usually screaming outside the van 3 hours after he’s gotten to bed

-doesn’t eat breakfast, but he will make you a cup of coffee in the morning

spy:

-ugh

-bought all of his bedding and the mattress purely based on looks so it’s pretty surprising that it ended up being comfortable

-will not let anybody have their shoes on in his bedroom, you have to leave them in his smoking room if you wanna come in

-kinda like medic in the fact that he goes to bed not even looking at you but wakes up all over you. he is kind of an asshole about it being like “aw babe you literally think i’m irresistible even in your sleep” when HE’S the one that cuddled up to you

-keeps his butterfly knife under his pillow and a pistol in his bedside drawer

-always falls asleep after you and is always awake and out of bed by the time you get up

-he doesn’t eat engineer’s breakfast because he claims it’s “too filling and unhealthy to be eating that much as soon as you wake up” so he always makes a little french breakfast for himself

-he pretends like he doesn’t do anything for other people but he always makes a plate for you of whatever he makes himself and leaves it on his side of the bed with a cute little note for you

-will pretend like he has no idea what you’re talking about if you bring it up though

Still thinking about the mercs as parents...I'm being really indulgent and assuming they're all good with kids in their own way, in the sense that they really would love a child of their own (even if they're terrible influences or let their kids do dangerous things) but anyway here's my thoughts on each of them as dads:

Scout: not used to being responsible for someone else since he's everyone's favorite youngest child of 8. He's a bit awkward with it and scared at first but he'll catch on eventually. He's not the best influence though and definitely teaches his kid things that shouldn't be taught to young children. Family means a lot to him considering his own dad left early in his life so he'll always try to be there for his own kid

Soldier: who let this man have a child. He loves his kid with all his heart but he is a terrible influence in the sense that he doesn't understand how fragile children can be until they get older. He tries his best and likes roughhousing and playing strategic games like capture the flag so at least he's fun to be around

Pyro: surprisingly good with kids! He's got a childish whimsy that translates very well into keeping children entertained. He'll probably play pretend with his kid for hours if you let him. He'll teach his kid all about the usefulness and beauty of fire (and probably commit a ton of arson in the process so he's not exactly an ideal role model)

Demoman: very loyal to his family (despite how messed up his backstory with his parents is) so he'd do anything for his child. Not the most attentive dad in the world but he tries his best and would never do anything to hurt his kid. He is very chill and goes with the flow when it comes to parenting. He's fun at parties and would love to pass the time having a drink with his kid on the porch in the evening

Heavy: he grew up with little sisters so he loves kids and pretty much knows exactly what to do. Most responsible merc when it comes to parenting by far. Loves his family so he'd really find it special to have a kid of his own, he'd probably worry a lot but once the initial fears subside he'd be a great dad. If he has flaws it's that he'd very much baby a kid past an age where that'd be appropriate or wanted so that may seem a bit condescending (he's only doing it because he's extremely protective though)

Engineer: he doesn't entirely know what to do at first but he's very genuine about it. Loves helping his kid make things and playing music together. Would totally kill it at a parent-child science fair making all sorts of weird gadgets that do new (and probably terrible) things. He's got a pretty big heart and is generally pretty tolerant of things that other parents would be annoyed with

Medic: who let this man have a child (part 2). Besides the obvious concerns of him using his own kid as a guinea pig for all kinds of weird experiments he'd actually be an ok dad. Very proud of his child and pays very close attention to stuff like growth milestones. Also would totally kill it at a parent-child science fair. Probably helps his kid make all kinds of weird Frankenstein-esque, cobbled-together toys and is very blunt about the whole "circle of life" thing

Sniper: oh man he has no idea how to do this properly, he's just gonna try to remember how his parents raised him and give it his best shot. He's a bit distant but always makes sure to spend quality time with his kid even if he doesn't say much. Probably takes his kid out for archery lessons, just in case his talent runs in the family. He felt awkward growing up (never knew he wasn't actually Australian by birth) so he makes sure to never treat his own child as less-than

Spy: oh boy. Assuming he actually sticks around to raise a child (this time), he'd actually be a decent dad. He definitely overthinks things, is very strict and overprotective, and is kinda a "no fun allowed" type compared to the other mercs in that he wants his kid to have the most normal and safe life possible. Spends time and effort on a good education, especially regarding the finer things in life. He prays that his kid doesn't "end up like him" despite not really elaborating on what he means by that. Overall he doesn't trust himself to raise a child properly but if forced to he's actually more than capable of it

Anyway these are just my thoughts. Again this is probably not the most realistic but I'm oddly optimistic about this kind of thing, plus I think it's interesting and kinda funny tbh imagining how the mercs might be as fathers :)

The Canary: Arrow 2x05 Review (League of Assassins)

Yeesh there is a lot of Lance drama in the beginning of Season 2. We finally get the backstory on Sara, but it’s the spectacular Oliver and Laurel scene that has me cackling.

Let's dig in...

Sara Lance

They reshot the whole pilot scene between Oliver and Sara only this time, we see what happens to Sara after the boat sinks and she’s swept out to sea. How this woman did not get hypothermia from only wearing a bra and underwear in the North China Sea is beyond me.

This scene just incenses me.  It irks the absolute crap out of me when Sara says, “Laurel is gonna kill me.” Sara says it like she’s borrowing Laurel’s sweater without asking. YOU ARE SLEEPING WITH HER BOYFRIEND.  This destroys a relationship. She’s not going to kill you, but she will absolutely cut contact with you, Sara.

I know he’s pre-island Ollie and he’s just the absolute worst, but the smarmy “Your sister will never know” as he climbs on top of Sara is just so disgusting. I cannot fathom why people would ever want Laurel to be with Oliver after what he did. Forgive him, fine. Date him? Absolutely not.

Okay, the rage is dying down. Hopefully this is the last time we have to watch this scene.

Sara is staying at the Queen mansion, which doesn’t see very covert, but with Moira in jail and Thea sleeping at Roy’s all the time it actually is a good place for Sara to crash. Better than a clock tower at least.

Oliver is still trying to convince Sara to let her family know that she’s alive, but she’s not convinced all family members *cough*Laurel*cough* will be happy to see her. Sara asks Oliver if he ever got back together with Laurel after he returned home.

Oliver: We tried. It’s too much.

Sara: Some things are better left in the past.

After The Gambit sinks, Sara is floating on a door similar to Rose in Titanic when she’s picked up by the freighter.

We’re all going to pretend the canary landing right next to Sara is not the most obvious foreshadowing in the world. For anyone questioning if Arrow is making Sara their OG Canary – there’s your answer. You know - if the suit, wicked fight skills and sonic weapon didn’t answer it for you already.

The color of the Canary is important though. It’s yellow. Not black. Arrow is drawing a clear distinction between the two. This is an origin story. It’s not Green Arrow and Black Canary. It’s The Arrow and The Canary.

Sara is thrown in a cage on the freighter, similar to Oliver’s current predicament, but Dr. Ivo protects her from the crew members.  He tells Sara he is going to save the human race and invites her to help, so I can only conclude we’re going with Stockholm syndrome in the flashbacks. A twenty something college kid would have very little to offer a mad scientist.

However, Sara’s reticence to return to her family is not related to whatever happened on the island, but rather who she became and what she did to survive AFTER the island. We’re just about to get some details when a man dressed exactly like Malcolm Merlyn comes crashing through a window.  Oliver and Sara fight him, but before we can get any answers the man disappears. This is getting annoying. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN SOMETHING?

Oliver introduces Sara to his team and we get the iconic first meeting between Sara and Felicity.

Sara does not want Team Arrow to find the assailant however. She knows exactly who he is. 

Sara: He’s called Al Ow-al, “The First.” And he’s a member of the League of Assassins.

Oliver has a very strong reaction to this revelation so we can deduce Sara didn’t join the Girl Scouts. The League is, you guessed it, a bunch of assassins who kill and vanish like ghost - previously thought to be an urban legend by Diggle. The League rescued Sara after the island, remade her into an assassin and she swore them her allegiance.

Sara left after she killed a local diplomat in Guyana and his children found his body the next morning. She didn’t want to be a murderer anymore, but now The League is coming after her.

Felicity’s humor and compassion put Sara at ease after her horrifying confession and this is why I love this character.  There’s no judgment from Felicity. She sees Sara for what she is – a person in pain, even if Sara doesn’t see herself that way. Not unlike how Felicity looks at Oliver. And just like Oliver, Sara Lance is SMOAKED.

Source: smoakamell

After Felicity finds Al Ow-al, Sara and Oliver argue about whose fight it is. Sara isn't used to playing with others, but you'd think she'd understand basic strength in numbers. This is the guy who trained Malcolm Merlyn. He stops an arrow with his bare hand while his back was turned!

Al Ow-al: The child of Ra’s Al Ghul awaits your return.

I know who Ra’s Al Ghul is from my Batman days, but in Arrow's world he has a kid. A kid who sent Al Ow-al  to collect Sara alive or dead. This is getting complicated. Is there like an employment flow chart we can follow for the League of Assassins?

Oliver: The League of Assassins. Why wouldn’t she tell me what happened to her all those years?

Diggle: Probably the same reason you didn’t tell us what happened to you on the island.

Wow. This is stunning lack of self awareness. Oliver, in case you haven’t noticed, Sara is the girl version of you.

The League has threatened Sara’s family, so Oliver keeps watch over Laurel. Felicity calls Detective Lance to convince him to leave town - while promising Sara to not reveal she's alive.

Source: @noone-seesyou-likeido

Unfortunately, Lance does not listen to Felicity, so Sara decides her secret is not more important than her father’s life. Finally, she is seeing some sense. Diggle, ever the loyal solider, offers to go with as back up, but Sara continues to have this thing about fighting on her own. I guess being an assassin is a solitary job. This does give us one of the best bad ass Sara Lance speeches ever, however.

Sara: Dig, you may be a three tour Special Forces veteran, but I was trained by the people that make the Special Forces look like a kindergarten class. So step aside or get put down.

The reunion between Lance and Sara is all we hoped it could be. It’s not every day your kid comes back from the dead, but Paul Blackthorne does a phenomenal job of moving from shock and disbelief to overwhelming joy.

Quentin wants answers, but he’s careful not to spook Sara who is still reticent to give details. They go through the nuclear bomb that was set off in their family (the divorce, the alcoholism).  Sara apologizes for the damage she caused, but Quentin insists he was to blame, which is more proof he is a really good dad.

He can clearly see his daughter has changed. She speaks Chinese now and is ready to fight to the death with a butter knife. He pieces together Sara is the woman in black; she knows Felicity, The Arrow and is wrapped up in this League that’s after both of them. How this man has not put together Oliver Queen is The Arrow I will never understand.

Quentin: If these assassins, if they hadn't shown up, would you have ever let us know that you were alive?

Sara: No.

Well, at least she’s honest. Sara promises Lance that she never forgot who she was or him despite staying away for so many years.

Source: OILVERSQUEEN

She takes her father to the clock tower which she’s outfitted with booby traps for when the League comes for them both. Sara and Lance hold their own against the assassins, but when The Arrow arrives they achieve the upper hand. Sara has no problem breaking Al Ow-al’s neck, but allows one assassin to live to warn Ra’s Al Ghul.

Sara: Tell Ra’s Al Ghul that my family is off limits. His quarrel is with me.

She is ashamed to show Quentin who she has become – a killer.

Source:  sohpiabush 

But Quentin feels only pride. How little children understand the depth of a parent’s love. We have already forgiven anything you’ve done or may do the moment you are born.

Quentin: I think you’re a survivor. I think you’re one of the bravest people I’ve ever known. You’re my daughter.

Sara leaves town to lead the League away from her family and Quentin agrees to keep her secret. He will not tell either Laurel or Dinah that Sara is alive because it would get them killed… or something.  The logic is not logical, but I don’t really care. They’ll hold the “Laurel finds out Sara is alive” card for May sweeps.

Source: @laurelscanary

This is not the last we will see of Sara Lance. The Canary’s story is just getting started.

Oliver and Diggle

Despite Oliver's spectacularly hypocritical statement about Sara and honesty, there is serious emotional growth this episode. Oliver making this statement about forgiveness a year ago would have been unthinkable. He did not return home with any hope of being forgiven or even welcomed back. I'm going to give the Lance family a shoutout because they had the most to be angry about with Oliver. He asked both Laurel and Quentin for forgiveness and they each have extended olive branches at various time. Hell, Laurel was ready to get back together with him. So, the fact he's able to offer the same hope to Sara is really a full circle moment.

Source:  anissagraces

Oliver beginning to believe he is worthy of forgiveness is a direct result of the many hours of therapy with Diggle and Felicity. He is finally starting to really hear them. That's why this moment with Diggle at the end of the episode is truly note worthy.

Source: NUGETAE

Diggle should have this date embroidered on a pillow because it's not often Oliver will admit he was right. But Oliver is not done yet.

Source: COPHINES

He breaks out some Russian vodka and confesses to Diggle he was not always on the island the five years he was gone. Oliver is ready to unburden some of the secrets he works so hard to keep buried.

Source: laurelscanary

Oliver is able to see his own demons reflected in Sara and it finally connects the dots for him. He doesn't have to remain isolated in the world like Sara. Oliver can see Diggle (and Felicity) reaching out to him and he FINALLY reaches back. This is monumental character growth.

Sara: You three are quite the team.

Diggle: We have our moments.

Why Diggle and not Felicity? I think it's easier for Oliver to tell his war stories to another solider. He also doesn't have any fuzzy bunny feelings towards John, which makes things simpler between them. But every time Oliver opens the door to the past, and shares his pain, he is one step closer to the future he truly deserves.

Laurel Lance

Laurel is sitting second chair in Moira Queen’s prosecution, which is actually an INSANE CONFLICT OF INTEREST. Marc Guggenheim, you are a lawyer sir. What is this nonsense?  

Never fear! Laurel has used all her pull to get Moira a plea deal - life with the possibility of parole. Understandably the Queen family isn’t thrilled. It’s either life or the death penalty.  Laurel even discussing Moira’s case with Oliver is improper ex parte contact.��She should be excluded from the case and sanctioned, but this is Arrow and that’s never going to happen.

In the middle of all of this, Oliver continues to ask if Laurel is okay. She is trying to kill your mother, Oliver. I feel how this is impacting Laurel shouldn’t really be your top concern. He is so exhausting around her. Take the hint, my dude. She doesn’t want your help and I’m tired of you two having the same fight episode after episode.

But this episode is not just another round of the same old some old. No, my friends this is a very special episode because it contains one of the best Laurel and Oliver scenes to ever grace our television. Oliver needs to protect Laurel from the League of Assassins, so he takes her out to dinner. Then he walks Laurel back to her apartment (because assassins) but she thinks he’s come up for a very different reason.

And OLIVER REJECTS HER.  The way I cackled.

I’m going straight to hell, but I don’t care. This moment is glorious. First of all, Laurel did not have a drink at dinner, so she can’t blame the booze and pills. She just flat out reads the situation wrong. Oliver apologizes for sending a mix signal, but he’s a bit confused. Didn’t they decide they shouldn’t be together out of respect for Tommy? Yes, Oliver. Yes you did. WHAT ABOUT TOMMY, LAUREL?!! This woman did not deserve that man.

Source: ILOVEKCASSIDY

Me:

Oliver promises Laurel he will never leave her and has certainly made every effort to help her, but it is the capacity in which he will stay in her life that is really in question. This moment is HUGE in terms of where Oliver is at emotionally. He is drawing a firm line in the sand. There was a time when Oliver would’ve welcomed Laurel trying to climb him like a tree no matter the circumstance, but not anymore. He clearly states that he cares about Laurel but only as a friend. His concern has no romantic undertone to it.

The balance of power in their relationship has always been tipped toward Laurel. This is the first time it feels like a more even playing field. Instead of Laurel rejecting Oliver – he is rejecting her and for a very good reason. Oliver is not stoned on pills and he remembers they don’t work. They tried to go back and it failed. Oliver has not interest in trying again. For the first time, Oliver is looking forward.  

And Laurel, cemented in the past and alone her in apartment, takes some pills.

Stray Thoughts

This secret Moira is keeping is a real humdinger if she’s ok with life with the possibility of parole.

Oliver and Thea promise Moira that she will not lose them no matter the secret. Sure Jan.

"Gee I didn't get you a bag of dirt." Bless this cupcake.

Where did Sara get her suit?

Malcolm Merlyn is also a member of The League of Assassins.

"Oliver’s lucky to have you both as friends. He hasn’t always had the best of luck in that area." Sara’s not so casual remarks about Slade and Shado are friggin ominous. It’s time to get real nervous about the flashbacks.

“You think because you are the beloved that you will be granted your freedom?” We all know who Sara’s beloved is and I’m very much looking forward to her arrival.

"Pain and I came to a little understanding a few years back." Sara takes a licking but keeps on kicking. This is such a bad ass line. The episode is chalk full of them. I love the OG Canary.

The Undersiders and their Overwatch mains

(This will use OW1's 2/2/2 comp because that's what makes sense and will ignore any chars introduced after the point where that ceased to be relevant) (Obviously this team is initially sponsored by Thomas Calvert/Coil).

Grue: Reinhardt. He protects others, he likes how tactical Rein vs Rein can be, he's big and hits stuff, but it's not overly complicated or focused on accuracy. Brian can and does learn the other main tanks, and later on his Sigma is disgusting, but he was really happiest when it was just him and a shield trying to out-time some other guy with a shield, with the entire team on the line if either screwed up.

Hellhound: Off-Tanks. She doesn't have a main, preferring to pick a char depending on the situation(even going Mei/Brig/Winston if off-tanks are bad in the current patch), but "get in front of the enemy, get hit, hit back harder" are general themes. Was accused of cheating a few times because she runs a custom HUD mod that replaces all text with icons and all numbers with partially-filled bars; this was EVENTUALLY ruled to be assistive mode similar to colorblind mode and officially patched into the game, but she still receives online hate for it regularly(as she doesn't read and exclusively uses social media to post and look at pictures of puppies, she is able to ignore this, giving her the single healthiest relationship with social media possible for a streamer.)

Imp: Offensive flankers. She has a Sombra icon on most social media, has cosplayed as her, and many people call her a Sombra main, but Brian got the game because Aisha saw Tracer in the early advertisements and went "I want that". She does not consider it a win if her team wins. She considers it a win if the opposing team's Mercy or Widowmaker DCs, and will play any char that can accomplish that.

Skitter: Widowmaker, other snipers. Officially flex DPS, any time the Undersiders need someone to play an unusual hero in a new broken team comp, Taylor can pick them up quickly and well, but she's at her best clicking on heads and 180ing to take out Genjis and Sombras who thought no one had seen them coming up behind. Taylor is just very very good at noticing who's absent from the battle and knowing which route is easiest for them to take to get behind the team. Was laddering as Mercy/Ana with Emma's group of friends when she got scouted by Lisa. When solo-queueing she will literally play anyone to keep from getting bored.

Tattletale: Main support, heavily Ana. Shotcaller for the team, good at knowing who's high and who's low on health. Tends to tunnel vision on the fight and get taken out by flankers, but so good at keeping everyone else alive and getting her grenade onto key targets that it doesn't matter much. Lost a 1vs1 as Lucio to Taylor's Battle Mercy and sent her a friend request immediately.

Regent: Zenyatta, maybe Lucio if he's in a good mood or Brian asks nicely. Because:

The Heartbreakers are Canada's premier esports team, coached by former competitive Half-Life 1 player/asshole, Nikos Vasil. Several of his kids have shown up amongst its roster. People complain about nepotism, but the kids are actually mostly very good. Hijack and Cherish were standouts in the early days of Overwatch, with his Hanzo and her Genji working extremely well together, even if they hated everything about it. He eventually ran away and deleted all accounts, but his savings ran out and his attitude was not well-suited for a real job. So he went back to streaming with stolen wifi and his old gaming laptop. After all, if he didn't play Hanzo, no one would notice, right? Lisa spotted him in under a week and promised cash if he'd try out. His rule: No DPS. So now he's their secondary support, with a Zen that out-damages most Soldiers when he tries and at least keeps his healing orb out when he doesn't, and Alec shows up to competitions/conventions in a mask.

Other people:

Glory Girl is an obvious Pharah main, and Pancea learned to play by picking Mercy and jamming her staff directly up Pharah's butt. Amy ends up with more hours logged on AO3 than actual Overwatch despite eventually becoming extremely good as a support player/shotcaller(after leaving New Wave).

Cherish also leaves the Heartbreakers and gets picked up by Slaughterhouse, an extremely aggressive team coached by also-asshole Jacob Black(Jack / ). They peaked during dive comp. She continues to play Genji, and is still miserable.

Scion is Bobby Kotick.

Who Kept Fizz and Blitz apart?

We've got at least three candidates on who could've kept Fizz and Blitz apart after the fire though I have at least one extra theory considering the medical professionals in Sloth.

In the episode Oops, Blitz mentioned that "they" said Fizz didn't want to see Blitz while Fizz was told by "them" that Blitz never came to see him in the first place. Someone was keeping these two apart intentionally and it makes their split even more tragic since Fizz would've forgiven Blitz or not been as angry at Blitz if he had been allowed to see Blitz. And Blitz probably would've had a better support system if he was allowed to see Fizz.

I want to put arguments for and against each theory to see where we could go from here and what we'll eventually learn about the truth when these two learn it.

Culprit 1: Mammon

Argument: Considering the placement of this sign in the episode Oops, it would be very easy to predict that Mammon would be the one that could have kept these two apart but also have a motive. Let's say he got word of Fizz's talents at the Buckzo Imp Circus through word of mouth and talent scouts. He probably had an eye on Fizz and would've recruited him to be his latest cashcow. He would have the money to give Fizz prosthetics that would help him perform again. Or hire Ozzie to give Fizz the prosthetics which would give a reason on how they met and fell in love. He wouldn't want Fizz to get distracted so he probably ordered any nurses in Sloth or wherever he was recovering to keep anyone out and isolate Fizz, making him easy to manipulate.

Counterargument: Mammon can be a bit of a dumbass so if Fizz auditioned to be his next star after he got his prosthetics, he probably treated him nice to start but the abuse would gradually happen over time. We don't know exactly how long Fizz was working for him but it's enough to make Fizz feel self-conscious about still being good enough to work for him. And he probably would've said something if he knew about Blitz trying to see his former friend. Mammon probably met and had Fizz working for him after he recovered.

Culprit 2: Cash Buckzo

Argument: I love this jackass but he's still a greedy jackass that cares very little about his own son while treating Fizz like the golden child. BUT I could see his ONE redeeming quality that he cares very deeply for his wife, Tilla. Using his son to steal riches from the Goetia and emotionally manipulating him so they could get treasures that he could sell to keep their family afloat. And I'll give him credit that he was disturbed enough by Paimon wanting to buy his son (at first) for Stolas. But his favoritism for Fizz and neglect of Blitz (we don't know how he treated Barbie) could've manifested into resentment for the accident his son caused with the fire. Buckzo not only lost his livelihood and wife but the kid he wished was his son was damaged so he could've kept the two of them apart out of spite and grief from losing the woman he loved.

Counterargument: He's also a bit of a dumbass and the alcohol might've scrambled his brain enough where he wouldn't be able to think of keeping Blitz and Fizz apart. And from the phonecall Blitz had in the episode Unhappy Campers, Blitz does seem to be on speaking terms enough with his father that he'd actually call him to try and figure out where Barbie was. And I think Buckzo would've been dealing with the loss of the circus as well as his wife so as much as he probably would've wanted to get back at his son and protect Fizz from getting hurt worse (since I think he does care about Fizz in some capacity), the grief he was going through probably would've made him unable to actually do it.

Culprit 3: Barbie Wire

Argument: We know very little about Barbie and what we do know is from the few mentions of her we've had in the show and pictures. But I think if her attitude towards her brother is anything to go by, I could believe she tried to separate Blitz and Fizz because of her own issues. We know she wasn't there during the fire and Blitz mentioned to Fizz that Fizz was all he had left. He lost his mother, his father neglected him, and there was probably a growing separation between Blitz and Barbie that hurt Blitz deeply, no doubt her drug addiction. When the fire happened, it seemed to happen when Blitz and Fizz were in their mid to late teens. Barbie could've either been sent away to rehab or gone off on her own, not being happy with the circus life. Maybe she felt resentment that her mother was close to Blitz and wanted to find her own path that isn't being a twin. Maybe she was manipulated by her father into seeing Blitz as the weak link in the family. Or maybe she felt anger that Blitz couldn't save their mother even though he was there when she wasn't there. It's hard to say if she was close to Fizz like Blitz was but if she got her father's attitude, she probably could've kept both boys separated out of spite and grief. She's familiar enough with the staff at the rehab center in Sloth that she could tell them to keep Blitz and Fizz separated "for their own good". And she purposefully used Blitz's old name even though she started with his preferred name when they saw each other, intentionally hurting her brother. Who's to say she wasn't capable of hurting him before? Maybe she felt resentment at how close Blitz and Fizz were and thought Fizz deserved better. Or maybe the drugs caused her to act out.

Counterargument: I don't want to throw Barbie under the bus since we only got a brief appearance by her and I hope she and Blitz will reconcile in some way. If Blitz can make up with Fizz, he can certainly make up with his sister. Since she wasn't around during the fire, maybe her anger at Blitz not being able to save their mother as well as anger at herself for not being there. I could see her deflecting her own feelings of guilt and grief onto her brother, blaming him for everything like her father did. But I could also see her wanting to run away from her feelings; she probably wants to get close to her brother but she just can't face him since I think deep down, she knows that isn't fully Blitz's fault. An accident is still an accident and they were basically children when it happened; Blitz has suffered enough and Barbie probably is trying to cope on her own. Maybe there's even some resentment of being a twin to someone that isn't as good or the lesser twin, feeling like she has to be better than him. If that's the case, she probably would want to separate herself from her old life and lashes out whenever Blitz tries to reach out.

Culprit 4: Sloth's Medical Staff

Argument: Okay this one might be a bit of a stretch (and I'm only using Barbie's nurse to make a point) but despite how nice and relaxing Sloth is and it being a hub for medical care and rehab, it's still a ring of Sin. They have a lot of drugs and use people like Barbie to get drugs from Earth to Hell. They're going to have their selfish parts to them too. It takes five years to get a Hellbies shot for Loona and they have staff that are really lazy that Blitz was ready to shoot them when he was losing his patience. And while people do give Barbie's nurse the benefit of the doubt in wanting to keep Barbie from falling off the wagon by trying to talk Blitz out of seeking her out, even using his preferred name, they don't seem very good at keeping people in rehab that should still be there. Verosika got out because she was still "famous" but it's very likely she got out because the staff were neglectful and got paid off. Who's to say they didn't get paid off to keep Fizz and Blitz separate, saying that Fizz didn't want to see Blitz or Blitz never came to visit. and they only seem to really get their asses in gear when a high profile demon is seriously hurt (ie, Stolas). Since Fizz is famous, they probably could've kept him guarded away where Blitz couldn't visit.

Counterargument: As much as her methods were harsh, Barbie's nurse did seem like she was looking out for Barbie and Blitz in a way. And the goat doctor was probably the nicest character we've seen in Sloth even if he used a needle that scared poor Loona. Whether there's actual malicious intent or just incompetence, we still don't know too much about this ring or the medical practices in Sloth but it's at least interesting to think about.

Hitting you all with my sad Owl house headcanons.

(I am projecting some of my own feelings into these, please don’t reply say anything particularly nasty about a certain headcanon.)

TW: Bullying, R@pe/ SA, self harm, Eating disorders. idk if there’s any others??

1) Luz is named Luz because she was the light of her parents lives, they’d had five miscarriages before she was conceived, and her parents assumed they’d never be a Mamá or Papá.

2) Willow holds some resentment towards Amity, and sometimes deliberately misses out on things so she doesn’t have to see her, but she doesn’t hate her, she enjoys spending time with her sometimes, and she’s had good memories with her, she just doesn’t understand why she feels that way.

3) Amity always thought she’d have to be in a relationship with Boscha one day, and dreaded it. When Odalia told her they’d get her a new girlfriend, her first thought was being forced into a loveless life with Boscha.

4) Gus pretty much refuse to make friends out his current friend group in fear they’ll use him.

5) Hunters presence in general reminds people how lucky they had it growing up, and he feels really awkward about it.

6) Willow is terrified of people hurting the ones she loves most and can sometimes be overbearingly protective, particularly of Hunter or Gus.

7) Luz was so scared of experiencing bullying and discrimination on the isles that she sometimes told people she had a birth defect and she was actually a witch.

8) Vee is very claustrophobic, but she doesn’t really have panic attacks and she feels awkward bringing it up.

9) Gus is convinced something is wrong with Mattholomule in like a- is everything okay at home type way.

10) Hunter was raped by multiple scouts on multiple unrelated occasions. He wants to tell his friends/ family just so someone knows and it’s out there, but he’s terrified of how they might see him or what they might do if it gets out there.

11) Amity knows she was mistreated, and that her mother was awful to her, but she doesn’t really consider it abuse, just bad parenting.

12) Darius feels so guilty about the way he treated Hunter that he sort of smothered him when he first came to live with him.

13) Hunter and Luz both self harmed/ had an eating disorder without even realising it. When Luz was little and she got frustrated she would pull her hair as hard as she could, and she was a strong kid. Hunter used to make himself vomit and restrict food intake when he believed he’d been ‘bad’, Hettie Cutburn found out and tried to get him to stop but he always found a way.

Can I offer you guys a little update on this fine Monday?

Little events Ch.2

FFN

"Why don't we just let her stay here with us?" Questioned a Green toad from the opposite end of the table.

Toadsworth looked up from an unsearched area on the map and fixated his companion with a perplexed look. It had been three months since the little girl they decided to call Peach wandered through the pipe to their little village. Naturally there were questions from others upon seeing the child the next day and the scouts answered. Toadsworth, being the leader of their group, felt a sense of obligation to get her back home safely. They started their search going through the pipe directly from where she came only to find the town completely abandoned. They weren't expecting to find the area like this and Peach didn't seem to have much of a reaction to the place. Nevertheless they decided to hang around for a while in hopes they would encounter someone looking for the child.

The day came and went without anyone showing up and Peach had started to grow restless as the day grew later. There were only so many things around to keep her entertained. The group returned to their village and for the rest of the week, they came back to the deserted town, even going as far as visiting during different hours of the day. When they saw that routine was going nowhere they pulled out their map and looked for areas where humanlike creatures resided. This method proved to be better but not by much as people who were willing to hear them out didn't know who she was. Now here they are and there is only one place left to go. If nothing comes out of this visit could they really just raise her on their own?

"Absolutely not" Toadsworth raised his voice slightly after causing everyone's eyes to widen "We face enough challenges taking care of our own. The needs of humans are too much" he rationalized to the group and to remind himself.

"Well what do you propose we do if we don't find her a home today?" One Toad raised a hand and asked.

Toadsworth thought about it for a minute and couldn't come up with anything. Before he could say as much another Toad spoke up with an idea.

"We could take her to an orphanage or something... She'll be around other kids and someone who wants her will adopt her" The toad finished and added "Maybe her family's looking for her at one of those places you never know" they added.

The mustache toad considered it for a minute with fingers on his chin. On one hand the thought of just leaving the child alone to be given to just anyone scared him a bit. There was always a chance that the people who would take Peach, not being able to give her the love and life she deserved. Then again, the toads themselves were pretty much taking their own chances with each person they approached offering to give her to because they 'supposedly were or knew her parents' so to an extent the solution was similar. On the other hand no one has done this in their three months yet so he had some faith that whoever would take her would give her the world.

Maybe it had to do with how short of a time they have been caring for her but, Toadsworth has been growing rather fond and protective of Peach. He was starting to think that the longer she resided with them, the harder it would be for him to let her go and return back to his old routine. With that final thought, he came to the conclusion that today had to be the day they found her a new home and family.

"Very well, I'll keep that in mind as we go about our day." He nodded to the toad's suggestion, adjusting his glasses. "Be prepared to leave in thirty minutes. I'll see you gentlemen at the gate" After everyone was dismissed, Toadsworth followed heading straight to the area where all the kids gathered every morning.

Bright blonde hair stuck out like a sore thumb but at the same time she looked so natural sitting in the circle chatting and laughing with the smaller toads. Peach's blue eyes met his beady ones as he approached the group. Wide smile she hopped up from her spot and skipped over to him while nine other kids followed.

"Good morning Mrs Toadsworth" they all greeted him happily. Peach wrapped her arms tightly around his body as if she didn't just see him an hour ago and did the same thing.

"A pleasant morning to you kids as well" he replied while rubbing the top of Peaches head. "You all go back over and finish your breakfast now." He told them after noticing half empty plates of fruit and crackers where they once were.

"Are you taking Peach to another place today?" One of the children asked him as they walked back over to their spot. He nodded in response.

"Can we come too? Peach says you guys always have fun." Another one chimed in with a question of their own.

"Certainly not, you all must stay here and tend to your work." He shook his head as they all sat down in their places. "Besides we don't go to have fun, we're taking her home today" he finished explaining.

"You say that all the time Mr.Toadsworth but she always comes back" yet another child stated in between bites of apple slices.

"Yeah 'sides Peach says she likes us and wants to stay here" a purple spotted toad spoke up as well and Peach nodded along eagerly.

Of course Toadsworth knew that. Days where they didn't go out searching, Peach would always come to him expressing how much fun she had that day with her friends. She'd tell him how she wished she could stay with them all forever. Everytime he bought up the idea of her maybe being happier with people like her, he'd always get a nonchalant 'maybe' before she returned to playing and talking more about the day. He always chalked those moments up to that just being an excited child's attention span but she'd give the same answer when settling down for the night. The kids were still talking to him while he was lost in thought and he only focused back in when another voice joined the conversation.

"Alright kids, let's finish up and stop bombarding Mr.Toadsworth with questions. We got a big day ahead of us." Toadannie sweetly told them while handing over Peach's clean clothes to Toadsworth. "Wouldn't you guys want someone to get you back home if you got lost?" She asked them. Some of the kids shook and nodded their heads.

"No, because my mom and dad always make me eat gross vegetables and go to bed early. My new family wouldn't do that" One of them said and the whole group laughed, some of them agreeing. 

"Ok I hear you all. I'm sure Peach will come and visit us with her family. Right honey" Toadannie asked her and she nodded. "See? Her hair has already been brushed" she directed the last statement to Toadsworth who was going to ask that question next.

"Thank you Ms.Toadannie. let's go now Ms.Peach, we have a big day ahead of us." He cleared his throat and offered his hand to help Peach up. She took it and they waved the other children off as they left to go about their day with Toadannie.

"Do I really have to go home today?" Peach looked up and asked Toadsworth as they headed back to his place.

"That's the plan my dear. We all have a good feeling about today. You're going to love it." He told her in hopes of getting her excited. The desired effect wasn't given.

"If you say so. I love being here with you all more" Peach told him staring straight ahead.

"We all love you being here with us too but we also want you to be around others that can give you what you need. You'll understand it when you're older, I promise." He finished as they made it back to his house, opening the door. "Now you go get changed, we have to meet up with everyone in fifteen minutes time." He looked at the clock on the wall and handed her her clothing.

Once she disappeared into his room he gathered some extra snacks from his pantry like usual and placed them in the bag by the door. He did some last minute thinking about the future really hers to himself. Are they really doing right by Peach with the lengths they are going to when it comes to wanting her with her own kind? If they were willing to give it a try, could they actually be enough to raise a human child into a proper adult? While he had many doubts about these things, there was a little trust that it all could work out. If only her guardians wherever they were would just show up, take her home, and care for her. He was once again pulled out of his thoughts by her voice.

"I'm ready" she called out to him. Toadsworth gave a once-over of her appearance and there was only one thing out of place.

"Your shoes are on the wrong foot my dear Peach." He chuckled, bending down to help her fix them. "There we go, now you're ready." She giggled and reached out to his hand and he took it.

They held onto each other tightly and left the house.

__________

The search went by as it usually went. Five minutes in from the moment they entered the town, of course Peach had a million of things she needed that they all had to attend to. After a few potty breaks, some lunch, and getting her to take a nap they were finally able to talk to the locals asking their usual questions. Toadsworth asked an additional question to those who were willing to listen about places that housed and took care of abandoned children. Turns out the place wasn't too far from where they were and people had nothing but positive things to say about it along with the staff. While the words did make him feel good about maybe leaving her there, he wanted to see this place with his own eyes. 

That's exactly what he decided to do around two in the afternoon. He left Peach in the care of his two companions at a park along with a few other kids. The place was about a five minute walk from the playground. That was a pretty good distance he thought and surely they don't let the smaller children roam about on their own without some sort of supervision. The building itself was pretty tall, about three stories as a matter of fact and well taken care of on the outside. The lawn was well-kept as the grass was short, bushes were trimmed, Flowers scattered about, and with what little he could see of the backyard looked pretty much the same.

There's more to things than just the outside, that's what he told himself. Toadsworth wanted to see and talk to those on the inside. Before he had a chance to knock, the door opened and out ran a boy that looked older than Peach, though not by that much. There was an older woman behind the desk who greeted him with a smile.

"Good afternoon sir, how can I help you?" She asked, standing up from the seat and approaching him.

"Ah yes well you see we have this child and we aren't sure where she belongs. We were referred to this place and I wanted to learn about how you all run this establishment. If you don't mind" He told her. 

It took a little minute for the women to say something. The longer they stood in silence, the more convinced he thought she would decline his offer and turn him away. Instead after what seemed like forever she led him to the office behind the desk. The door was left slightly ajar as they both took a seat, her behind a computer. Toadsworth learned a lot more things from the worker after explaining the events from the past three months. Apparently a lot of kids of all species were brought here by others after stumbling out of pipes. Although she never saw someone take care of a child for this long before bringing them here.

"We thought we'd find them or even a lead by now but nothing." He told her "We just think she'd have a better chance of finding someone better fit for her needs." He added with a thoughtful smile.

The women seemed to understand him fully and gave him a brief rundown about how things were run around the place. Everything Toadsworth was told made him feel even better about the decision of leaving her there. They make sure all the kids are provided with a balanced three meals everyday and have availability to get snacks throughout the day if they want. All kids are well supervised throughout the day, especially the smaller ones who aren't allowed to leave the premises alone without an adult. There are plenty of things for them to do both inside and outside in the front and backyard for them to do. They do their best when it comes to teaching the smaller children reading, writing, and math skills before they are old enough to go to the school they have them all go to. All of that sounded really good to him but his next questions went along the lines of how they make sure the kids who do get adopted are going to live with good people.

Again she gave him an answer that was great to hear. They make sure to do routine background checks on adults prior and during the adoption process. They make sure the condition of the home is up to satisfactory standards. Once the process is complete they send in random wellness checks on these kids to make sure they are being treated well.

All questions answered, Toadsworth felt that Peach would be in really good hands staying here and even after leaving. They have plenty of clothes for her however long she stays. He told them all about her little quirks he's noticed throughout his time with him. They did some paperwork before he left to go get Peach and bring her here to meet everyone. Along with saying his final goodbyes to her.

Toadsworth returned to his companions at the park where he left them. One of them was pushing Peach on a swing while another one was sitting on a bench. Spotting the older toad he shook his head silently communicating to him that they still hadn't found anyone willing to take her during his time away. That was something he was used to by now but, today is different and he was ready to share what he learned from his little visit. They too felt good about leaving Peach in this place's care and while they were also feeling a bit sad about seeing her go, they knew it was best for her future.

After having Peach get acquainted with some of the adults at the place and asking him one final time if this is what they all really wanted to do, they were getting ready to say their goodbyes and head back home. Toadsworth told them to keep their farewells short so as not to cause a huge scene. While the other two toads were waiting patiently, he was the one who's been hugging Peach for almost an entire two minutes.

"Remember to be nice and use all your manners that I taught you ok?" He reminded her. She sniffled out an 'ok' nodding her head. "You just be your little bubbly self and everyone you meet is going to love you. Yes?" Again she nodded against him and he pulled back with arms still wrapped around her.

"Will you come and see me?" She asked him while rubbing the snot from her nose.

That question broke him just as much as her red face and tear streaked cheeks. He had to be truthful even if it would hurt her more. The thought of coming to visit her for a little while a few days out of the week till she was gone crossed his mind a couple of times. In the end he concluded that it would be more detrimental to her finding a home. Peach wouldn't want to go with anyone cause she'll always be looking forward to spending time with him and that was far from what he wanted to happen.

"I'm sorry dear but, I won't be able to do that." She cried harder after he finished saying that and she immediately wrapped her arms back around him "It's better that way. You'll understand it when you're older.ok?" He promised. 

It took a little minute for her to calm down but once she finally did, he pulled her away again and reached out to wipe her face and held her hands in his.

"Hey now, we'll see each other again one day. I'm sure about that." He told her with a smile "you're far too pretty to have that look on your face and I don't want to leave you like that. Can I see your little happy face before I go?" He asked her hoping that would be enough for her to comply. 

Instead of doing so she reached out and touched the red bow tie he wore around his neck. A silent request that he could easily give in...even if this was his favorite. He reached behind himself to loosen and pull off the tie.

"Now you make sure to take good care of this." She nodded as he wrapped it while not too tightly around her wrist. "When you don't have that blanket around your neck you can have someone help you properly put it on. " He chuckled and she giggled with him, finally giving him that smile he would always remember.

Satisfied he gave her one last hug before leading her up to the steps of the place to the person waiting. The pair waited at the door as Toadsworth headed to the others. Both sets of people waved one final time before the toads took off in the direction of home. 

They began to walk. The other two toads made small talk about random stuff and looking forward to getting home for the day, Toadsworth was quiet. Peach was finally the one step away from getting the life she deserves and yet here he was with an empty feeling in his heart. He knew that with time this feeling would dissipate but how long would that take? How could something or someone being in his life for such a short amount of time cause him to be feeling like this? If he was willing to put in the effort could he have been the best guardian for her?

For the umpteenth time that day, he was lost in his thoughts and not paying attention he bumped into one of the toads who stopped suddenly. Toadsworth was about to ask why they stopped until he heard her crying and footsteps right behind him, the woman slightly behind calling out her name.

"Daddy! I want you" she called out to him jumping into his arms when he turned around. He easily caught her and was only shocked momentarily before he tightly held onto her. Peach continued repeating the second statement.

Toadsworth was caught up on what she called him. He felt that his heart would leap right out of his chest. The other toads stood there watching the scene in just as much shock. 

"Peach" was really the only word he could say as she clutched tightly to the back of his vest.

"I think she already knows where she wants to call home" The woman said aloud with a smile.

"Hmm... Peach, is that true? Do you want to stay with us?" Toadsworth asked, trying to pull her away to face him. A futile effort as she held on tighter in order to stay in place. She nodded her head frantically.

At her age, she seemed to have complete trust in him to do right by her and wouldn't take anyone else for an answer. He still wasn't sure if he could do it all alone and was about to return her to the lady when another thought came to mind. Like all the children in their little village, everyone did their part to make sure they were well taken care of. They would adjust accordingly as she grew and she would surely be fine. They could only really give her their best so that is what they would do if she would allow them. 

"Alright dear I hear you loud and clear. We'll honor your decision." He said, patting her back in a soothing motion.

Ask for story idas and you shall receive story ideas, I got 3 and 2 of which can be alternative story routes for yawnetu like au's

And yeat again it's gonna be very long

So i know with yawnetu we are going the ronal and tonowari route

But I don't think you wrote if reader was aware the Grace's avatar was pregnant with kiri, because in the movie the sully's only find out grace is pregnant after the birth of neteyam. So by the time the sully family arrives at the reef with kiri, thoughts come racing into reader mind and the worst one is that neytiri at jake had their way with Grace's body like they did with her and nobody was able to stop them. So trust is jake and neytiri are practically nonexistent and is starting to be hella protective of kiri and the twins picking up on it

Plus I think they would be the ones to break up the fight ao'nung and his friends have with neteyam and lo'ak.

For the alternative stories they have some what of the same path as the original yawnetu story line so far but really start to differentiate at the birth of the twins, plus their first communion with eywa and the first recom encounter at the old shack.

Alternative story #1 recom route

Reader stays in the forest but moves out of the tent with jake and neytiri. But moves in with Mo'at instead with the excuse of her having the first born twins of the clan leader much sooner than expected, she is taking no chances with their health so is staying with Mo'at.

She still takes care of spider as her own and as the older brother of the twins much to the dismay of the sully couple. And wherever spider goes the twins follow. Their dymamis would be the shorter older brother and the taller younger brothers.

Mo'at has a far more active role in raising the twins. Jake and neytiri try to get involved but even as baby's the twins are not having it along with mom and mo'at.

Years pass the twins are trained to take over the clan when time comes and neytiri is having none of it. Which causes her to push for neteyam to get training as well, which he does. So the twins and neyteym have a bit of a tense rivalry on who will be next in line. In reality the twins don't care and are more "go with the flow along with, if we get it, we get it and if we don't, we don't". Poor neteyam feels like he has to get it or be deemed a failure, not only by his parents but the clan.

So bitter competitive younger brother neteyam and the surprisingly supportive older brother twins. Because in the end they want the best for neyteym and he's earned it. They look out for the rest of their half siblings and have a good relationship with them. They just tend to avoid them when jake and neytiri come around for obvious reasons.

The twins participate more actively in the raids and attacks but not as scouts like neyteym and lo'ak. Which fuels more jealousy from neteyam

The recom encounter practically goes the same but reader and the twins are with jake, neytiri, and neyteym on their respective ikrans. Some how trying to win over reader and the twins and still failing. So when lo'ak calls the 6 of them race over there.

Goes the same but reader and the twins don't kill anyone, they are just more focused on getting the kids out of there which they mainly succeed.

But when spider falls due to the explosion reader jumps after him which causes the twins to jump after her. Which sadly results in reader and her 3 sons to be taken by the recoms no matter how hard they fought to get out of the recoms grip. And seeing that jake and neytiri had left them behind just as the helicopter arrives to take them.

They go back to high camp with out reader and her family and Mo'at is absolutely heartbroken and livid at jake and neytiri. Going off at them in public for not only lossing their wife to enemy had but also the heirs of the clan, thier children, her grandchildren.

And that's it for this alternative story idea on to the next

Alternative story #2 norm route

Yet again reader stays in the forest but moves in close to the scientist with the excuse that they know more about twins that the na'vi. And have far more advanced knowledge of medicine which mo'at agrees with. Plus she doesn't trust jake and neytiri with her grandbabies, plus i have a feeling that the scientists would call out any bad behavior that jake and neytiri could direct towards the reader and her twins.

That means that she can stay and care for spider as her own and as the older brother of the twins and helps norm with raising the orphans caused by movie #1 event's. (In the comics norm runs a orphanage for both na'vi and human kids)

Norm if far more active in a father role than jake is. Even if jake is trying his best to foster a relationship with the boys. The twins at times call norm dad /sepku when nobody is around. (I think that the na'vi word for dad, if not correct me)

The twins are and very good terms with the scientists and the avatars. So they have a better out look on humans than the rest of the clan. Knowing that there are both good and bad humans

The rivalry between the twins and neyteym are still there for training. But the twins spend more time with norm and the orphans. Fueling a bit of jealousy from neyteym because they would drop anything to help the orphans, even with the smallest of tasks and the most stupid of things. Being the big brothes and role models for the orphans. They would do the same for neyteym, he just has to ask which he doesn't. And neytiri is a bit of a bitch to them at times so they don't hang around often.

Stilla good relationship with the rest of their half siblings.

The twins participate more actively in the raids and attacks but not as scouts like neyteym and lo'ak. Fuels more jealousy from neteyam

The recom encounter goes exactly the same and spider gets captured. But Reader and the twins are at high camp helping around and waiting for spider to come back from exploring with lo'ak so they can have diner and rest for the night. When the sully's don't return with spider reader and the twins are absolutely heartbroken and go to norm for comfort.

Jake tells them that they all have to leave. Reader and the twins are even more heartbroken have a very lond and heartfelt good bye to everyone especially to norm, Mo'at and the orphans.

They arrive at the reef and live in a separate maui that the main sully family. Reader and the twins cause absolutely no trouble for the clan, helping with anything and everything they can because they miss being busy with the norm, the scientists, and orphans. Which causes them rise the social hierarchy very quickly than ever expected. Far quicker and higher than Jake and neytiri, plus being on better terms with ronal and tonowari.

Because we all know the only reason they can get way with what they did is because of Jake's status as tourk makto.

They get close to ronal and tonowari telling them of their past life in the forest. Reader and the twins bring up norm a lot which peak the intrest of ronal and tonowari.

Kiri has her seizure so norm and max to the rescue along with reader doing what ever she can to help kiri out. Kiri awakens so all is well. Reader and the twins have a heart warming reunion with norm showing him around and introducing him to everyone.

The final battle happens and in stead of neteyam getting shot it's both or one of the twins who do as they push neyteym out of the way. Neteyam is rittled with guilt that no matter how awful he was to his older brothers they still would risk their life for his. They nearly die but with the aid of norm, max, and reader they bring them back from the brink of death.

When they wake up from being shot while still in critical condition and a very loopy fron medication, they start calling out for mom and dad for comfort. Reader and spider shows up conforming that mom and big brother is there and is now solely calling for dad. Jake shows up to their side trying to calm them, but it's not who they are calling for and still are calling for dad. Norm finally shows up after reader calls for him and nudges jake out of the way. Jake leaves heartbroken.

I don't know how her and norm would confess to each other but I know around this point they would and the boys would like "about time and we want a younger siblings from norm get on it". And they would have a small yet amazing ceremony, max would most definitely be the best man.

Well that's all I got for know I'll send in some more if you want. I hope you have an amazing day

damn this is loooongggg it’s literally a fanfic by itself

i’m suprised i read every single bit of it though and ideas are brewing! i definitely like the idea of the reader getting caught by the recoms and then they all just go so soft for her and become one big fam omg

and norm is so cute. i would probably say that instead of the reader going with jake and neytiri to awa’atlu she would probably stay in the forests. since the recoms wouldn’t know her and her sons are associated with jake at all there’s no actual danger with them. also spider is taken so she wouldn’t wanna leave. but she would also wanna stay with norm!!

Hi 🙂 Loved your work over on Ao3, so I thought I'd shoot my shot at a rottmnt fic request!I had an idea for a prompt that has a premise like

• Takes place in the future timeline.

• I hc that CJ probably had at least ONE super rebellious moment in his younger years. I mean he's a child raised by both Cassandra Jones and the Hamatos 😂

• Casey Jr is still young enough that he's not allowed on missions

I can imagine CJ really pushing to start going on missions after witnessing the aftermath of one gone very bad. He just wants to be more useful & be able to protect his family like they always protect him and aid the Resistance. Casey and Leo probably get into it on the topic of Casey going on missions cause Leo is both his sensei AND one of his primary parental figures. CJ wants, Leo definitely does not want.

CJ sneaks out anyway to prove a point & scares the crap out of the fam. CJ runs into some trouble, maybe gets only mildly hurt, but scared & definitely learned an important lesson. Leo and the squad pull up ready to annihilate x5 cause their kid is the thing that's in danger. Some much needed, healthy heart to heart between Leo and CJ after everyone is safe and any wounds are treated. Cause their bond has me in a chokehold 🥹

Thank you for offering up request! Super awesome if this prompt is do-able for you!

... anon. my friend, my good pal. Do you know what you have done to me?

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR AN EXCUSE TO LION KING THE HELL OUT OF THESE TURTLES AND YOU HAVE GRANTED MY WISH. I salute you!

This is a two-parter because I got 9 pages in and really didn't want to rush this. I was having far too much fun!

Enjoy Part 1 XD

(EDIT: PART 2 IS HERE)

---

brave when i have to be

“Absolutely not.”

And really, Casey should have expected it. Even so, his jaw drops. “What?! Why?!”

Master Hamato Leonardo, leader of the only Resistance faction in the remains of Merica, and Casey's godfather, plants his hands on his hips and sighs. “We've been over this a thousand times, CJ—”

“But sensei,” Casey interrupts, stepping forward and clutching Uncle Tello's chainsaw hockey stick tight to his chest, “I can help! I'm not as strong as you, but I can still hold my own! I can scout, carry supplies back to base, or—or anything besides sitting around down here doing nothing while everyone else—!”

“I sincerely hope you're not just 'sitting around down here doing nothing' when there is plenty of training you could be doing and studying you can be catching up on,” Uncle Leo—no, Sensei right now—shoots back with an arched brow, frowning. At Casey's silent squirming, he leans forward with narrowed eyes that the boy avoids. "Don't think I haven't noticed. I got word from your dear Uncle Tello that your most recent test scores were, ah, disappointing.”

“Snitch,” Casey whines, scowling at the floor. 

Sensei leans back with another sigh, massaging his wrinkled brow with his prosthetic hand. Casey tries not to stare and fails. 

“Look, bud,” Sensei says, “Your heart is in the right place. You want to help, prove yourself and all that jazz, and you've come a long way. I mean that. But you're still young. Hell, even I wasn't going out fighting bad guys when I was your age; I was hot-wiring cars with Don for joyrides, vandalizing corporate office buildings—shitty teenage boy stuff that we thought was cool. Right now, that's all I want from you; to be safe down here, doing shitty teenage boy stuff while you still can. And keeping up with your training and studies, too, that's kinda important.”

Casey rolls his eyes. “Kinda hard to do that stuck down here, but whatever...” he mutters.

 Sensei's eye twitches. “Okay, I know I just said you should be a shitty teen, but that attitude right now is no bueno, niñito.”

“I'm not a little boy anymore, Sensei!” Casey cries. “I can take care of myself! I can fight, just like you! This is what you trained me for, isn't it?! To fight the Krang and save our world! I can help, why won't you let me—?!”

“Because you're not ready, dammit!” Sensei snaps, and Casey almost jumps. The slider lets out another breath, muttering what sounds like a prayer for patience. “You're not ready, Case. The Krang are stronger than all of us—I can barely stand to send your uncles and aunt up there, you think I wanna drag you along and watch you get—”

“I'm not weak, Sensei!”

“I'm not saying that, don't put words into my mouth—”

“Well, you're sure implying it!”

“Again, you can knock off that attitude—jeez, I sound like my Dad—”

“I'm not a baby, Sensei!” Casey stomps his foot. Yes, it's childish, but damn it, his Sensei won't listen. “You can't shelter me from everything!”

“You're really gonna make me say it. You're really gonna make me pull that card, aren't you.”

Casey bristles, his chest hot. “Don't—“

“Your mother left me with a responsibility to look after you, kid,” Sensei cuts in like a knife, prodding a metal finger in Casey's chest where his mother's mask is tucked against his shirt. “I promised her that I'd watch over you if the worst ever happened. And guess what, it did. And if you think for a second that I'm gonna break that promise over your stupid-ass death wish—!”

Eyes stinging and hot, Casey slaps the metal hand away and screams, “To hell what you think, you're not my father!”

Silence. 

Casey hears a leaky pipe dripping, his own thundering heartbeat. He looks up. His Sensei's face is slack with shock—and a hint of hurt—as he stares at Casey. For what feels like forever, they just stare at each other.

Casey wants to take it back—he needs to take it back because none of that was even remotely true or fair. It was mean, and Casey Jones Jr is a lot of things but he's not mean. That's not how he was raised, in part by the very turtle standing before him. He has to take it back.

But while Casey isn't mean, he is every inch his mother in her stubbornness, so he locks his jaw.

Sensei's expression goes blank. The slider takes a step back, drawing a deep breath that's barely steady, shoulders squared and shit. Casey should've taken it back. 

“... You're right,” Sensei says, his voice hard and cold. “You're right. I'm not your father. But I am your teacher and your superior officer, and as long as you're living under my layer of earth and metal, you'll obey my rules. You can start by reporting to the mess hall to cover Dan on dish duty, then you can take yourself straight to your quarters for the rest of the evening. Tee-ell-dee-arr, this discussion is over, and your ass is grounded.”

Casey chokes. “W-What?!”

"Uh-huh. For a month."

"What?!"

“You heard me. Think of this as your punishment for your insubordination and disrespect.”

“Kutabare.”

“I beg your pardon?”

“You can't just—!”

“Keep it up and see what happens, I am being so serious right now.”

Casey meets his Sensei glare for glare. Ultimately, stubbornness aside, Casey relents first, scowling at the floor. “... Yessir,” he bites out.

Sensei nods curtly. “Good. Dismissed.” 

Casey turns on his heel and storms out of Sensei's room, hissing under his breath the whole way to the mess hall. 

(He doesn't hear his Sensei's hitched sigh or see the trembling hand that covers his face as he sits heavily on the bed.)

~0o0~

It's a stupid, stupid idea. 

But his Sensei always told him to trust his gut and follow his heart—it's his greatest strength—and Casey's heart is screaming at him to help. 

This isn't for him—not entirely. It's for everyone who comes home beaten and bloody, hope crumbling with every defeat. It's for the ones who never come back—for his Mom and Uncle Raph, who loved him, all of them, enough to stay behind and die with a war cry and a smile. It's for his Sensei, still recovering from losing his arm.

I'm doing this for them, he thinks as he slips his mask on, putting all his training to use as he sticks to the shadows, creeping along the edge of the crowd of foragers before slipping into an empty crate. His heart pounds in his ribcage, ears ringing as he feels the crate start to move, mechanical wheels squeaking as the squad move out through the tunnels. 

I'm not weak. I'm not defenceless. I can do this. I can help.

~0o0~

Casey doesn't go to the surface often. Uncle Tello used to bring him up to try and find the stars when the pollution wasn't as dense, lifting him and pointing out the constellations they could see from their hiding spot. Master Michelangelo brought him once to fly him over the ruins of New York, and show him what had once been a bustling city full of people; Casey still can't wrap his head around that many people existing in one space without a care.

But that was years ago.

Casey can still find his way back to base. He has the evacuation routes memorized down to the last detail, and Master Michelangelo had left mystic markings to lead lost ones back home, near invisible unless you knew what to look for—

“Or if you're family,” he'd said with a grin and wink. “Then you won't just see it. You'll feel it. The pull of home.”

Now, as Casey wanders the wasteland of what used to be Lower Manhattan, he wishes he could feel that pull. Leaving the foraging troop to scout ahead for danger was not one of his better ideas. Especially when they didn't know you had tagged along, and they move on without you. 

If I don't die out here, I'm dead when I get back, Casey thinks as he crouches behind the wreckage of a vehicle buried in the ruins, trying not to panic and mostly failing.

Sensei had lost his arm in their most recent mission. He'd barely made it back alive, Commander O'Neil dragging him on her back, ragged, burnt and losing blood fast. They were among the seven survivors from the raid that had left with seventeen. 

It was close. They'd had a replacement ready in time, but it was. Too. Close. 

Casey had already lost his mom. He can barely remember her voice now. He can't lose Uncle Leo. He can't lose anyone else because he can't protect them. He can't. He won't. 

Still, he thinks as he curls up into a ball to fight the chill sweeping across the landscape, you probably should've listened.

“What do we have here?”

Casey's heart skips. 

Shit.

Instinct saves him as he rolls out of the way right as the robotic claws of a Krang suit obliterate his shelter. 

The dust clears, revealing the glowing, delighted eyes of the creature piloting the mech suit looming over him. Jagged teeth flash in the red glare of the mech's singular eye as the Krang grins down at the boy trembling at its feet.

Casey gapes behind his mask. He'd gone out looking for trouble, and it finds him in the form of—

“Krang Subprime!”

Subprime cackles. “That's right! I see that my reputation precedes me. About damn time, too!”

Casey's heard enough stories and reports to know how dangerous Subprime is. Responsible for leading the charge that had wiped out Asia and melted the icecaps, he's Krang Prime's right hand for a reason. 

He'd gotten the drop on the raid team in the last mission. He'd taken Uncle Leo's arm. And now he's found Casey. Alone. 

Casey can't beat him. He'll die out here, and no one will know until it's too late.

You should've listened.

But Subprime has a weakness. A glaring one that most Krang don't seem to have. All Casey needs to do is exploit it, buy himself some time. He won't win, but he'll live. And get this asshole back for nearly killing his Uncle. Maybe. Hopefully.

Spirits, please let this work.

“Not really,” he says, surprised when his voice doesn't shake like the rest of him. “Everyone thinks you're freaking annoying, nothing compared to Prime. My Uncle says your all bark, no balls.”

Subprime's eyes pop open wide, mouth gaping like a fish. Casey considers laughing.

(His one weakness: his ego is fragile as hell.)

“You—You little shit!” he squawks, stomping closer and leaning down until he's face to wrinkled, pink face with Casey, eyes blazing. Casey holds his position, gripping his weapon tight in one hand, holding his breath against the stink of Krang flesh and dripping saliva. 

“I should vaporize your sorry butt right freaking here, you disrespectful waste of flesh! Sure, Prime may be our leader, but I'm the tactical mastermind, y'hear me! I'm the reason we've come this far in taking over this planet! I'm the brains in the outfit—!”

“Literally though,” Casey grins, shifting ever so slightly on his back. Rocks and metal dig into his back, and he does his best to ignore it. He has never been this close to a living Krang, and he's scared shitless, but he can't falter. He can still get away. He can still live. “I mean, You are a giant brain thing in a mech suit, so...”

“Shut up! You talk more than that dumb blue turtle with the fancy sword.” Then Subprime grins, slow and vicious. “Speaking of which, how is he? Last I saw, he was bleedin' out pretty bad after I bit his arm off. Never heard him scream like that. It was music to my ears.” He licks his lips. “His blood tasted delightful.”

Casey wants to be sick. He wants to kill this disgusting son of a bitch more than he's ever wanted anything in his life. 

Keep your cool, Case, Sensei's voice echoes in his ears. Anger is a dangerous ally when it's not focused. Sharpen it. Give it form. 

Casey breathes in. 

“Aw, got nothin' to say, pipsqueak?” Subprime chuckles, slamming a metal hand beside Casey's head, caging him in. “Now, you've got two options. You can spend the rest of your worthless life in our labour camp, or go ahead and make your last request. If nothing else, it'll be entertaining. I do enjoy the way you humans beg for mercy.”

Casey breathes out. 

“In that case, I have one request if you would kindly grant it,” he says softly. 

Subprime chortles and leans in, jagged teeth dripping. “I'm all ears.” 

“Could you scream in agony like a little girl bleeding from the face?”

Subprime blinks. “Could I what—?”

Casey thrusts his roaring chainsaw into Subprime's left eye. 

Subprime screeches and rears back, metal hand cradling his bleeding face. “YOU—YOU SON OF A—!”

Casey is already running, leaping over and ducking under debris and wreckages from a time long gone. 

For my Sensei, you dusty bitch!

He can hear Subprime giving chase, moving faster than anything Casey can hope to outpace. But he has size on his side, and he squeezes through tight gaps between collapsed buildings and pipework, crawling through a gaping fissure in the ground leading to the sewer system. Far too big and down an eye, Subprime struggles to catch up, bellowing and hissing after Casey as he brute forces his way through the rubble and vines, claws just catching the frayed hem of Casey's cape.

“Shit—!” Casey stumbles, careening into a wall slick with Krang slime and—a familiar smell that Casey doesn't want to think about too much as he bolts down through the tunnel, feet and heart pounding. He'd thought—hoped—blinding the bastard would've slowed him down. 

“Wretched brat! I'll tear you limb from limb, you insignificant—!”

“Can't catch me, bitch!” Casey screams back, scrambling up a rusty ladder that leads back to the surface. Adrenaline pumps through him like electricity, and he all but punches the sewer grate, barely feeling the pain in his busted knuckles, crawling out into the open. 

He remembers this street; it leads to the Hudson Cross—from there, he can find Uncle Mikey's runes. He can get home—

“Gotcha!”

Cold, solid metal slams Casey into the asphalt, pinning him face down. His hockey stick flies from his grip, skidding out of reach. The breath leaves him in a painful rush, he can't even cry out as one claw pierces his shoulder. Warmth pools under his shirt and drips onto the concrete, sticky and wet.

No.

“Heh... hehe,” Subprime's wheezing laughter over Casey's head feels like a blade against his neck, honed, ready and aching to swing. “Thought you could get away, did ya?”

No, please. 

He can't help it. Casey sniffles, tears leaking through his eyelids as he squeezes them shut.

I was so close.

“Awww, what's this? Tears? Gimme a Krangin' break!” Subprime presses harder. Casey chokes on a sob as his bones creak in protest. “What's next, you gonna call mommy and daddy to come save you from the big, mean old Krang-y? Ha! Should'a thought of that before ya blinded me, you freakin' pest!”

Help. Somebody, please, Sensei—

“Forget the labour camp.” Subprime tightens his grip and lifts Casey's limp, bleeding body off the ground. “I'm gonna enjoy smashing you to a bloody pulp instead!”

Help me, please! Da—

“Put. Him. Down.”

Casey's eyes snap open.

Subprime's grin falls. “Huh—?”

A flash of green, and a blade slices Subprime's arm from his shoulder. 

Casey's falling for half a heartbeat before two strong arms pluck him from the air. His stomach swoops as he scrambles for purchase on—he squints—Uncle Tello's shoulders as they zip across the street on the propellers of Tello's battle shell. “Oh my god!” he cries.

“Not quite,” Uncle Tello quips as he skids across the broken street and sticks the landing. His purple visor flickers to life across his eyes, analysing Casey's from head to toe. He doesn't put him down. “Are you alright?”

Casey's knuckles are broken on his right hand. His shoulder and nose are still oozing blood, and his body feels like one giant bruise from that chokeslam into the ground. He can hear Sensei and Commander O'Neil holding an enraged Subprime back behind them, and his heart feels ready to leave his body with how hard it's beating. Other than that—

“I-I'm okay,” he stammers. He sniffs, swiping his unbroken hand under his nose. “I'm—I'm okay.”

Uncle Tello doesn't look convinced. “Can you stand?” he asks anyway. Casey nods, and Uncle Tello sets him down carefully. He keeps one strong arm draped around Casey's shoulders, bringing the other up to speak into his vambrace, his tone clipped and urgent. “Nardo, April, I've got him. A little banged up, but nothing serious. I've also got a pack of Krang Hounds incoming from the south, ETA two minutes. Sister is with them and seems to be in a good mood. Much as I want to carve the innards out of Subpar here, we gotta book it.”

Casey gulps. Subprime is one thing, but he never wants to meet the Sister. 

He looks over his shoulder—and chokes when he sees Master Leonardo standing on top of Subprime's fallen mech, sword poised over his bloody eye. He can't see the slider's face, but his voice carries across the empty street, cold and dark and nothing at all like the man he knows—

“Don't. Touch. My boy.”

And then he carves Subprime's eyeball out of the socket, tossing it across the street. 

Subprime wails in agony, thrashing on the ground and narrowly missing Commander O'Neil as she slides neatly under his flailing leg, nabbing Casey's weapon as she sprints over to them, Master Leonardo not far behind. 

“Get going!” she shouts. 

Casey doesn't need telling twice and runs like a bat out of hell, not daring to look back. Uncle Tello, who can run (or fly) rings around Casey any day, sticks close to his side. Commander O'Neil draws up on his right, leaving his Master at the rear, boxing Casey in.

“How're we gonna get back to base before they get here?!” he cries. He can hear the barking and howling already, getting louder, closer.

His aunt grins. “Same way we got here so fast!”

Ahead, golden light explodes like a star against the twilight, leaving a mystic ring of blessed orange in its wake. 

Master Michelangelo hovers above it, winking. “All aboard the Mikey Express, leaving now!”

“Impeccable timing, little brother!” Uncle Tello crows. Casey wants to cry. 

They all leap through the mystic portal right as the first Hound rounds the corner of a building. Michelangelo zips through last and shuts it with a swipe of his hands, plunging them into darkness and silence save for their panting.

They're back in the tunnels. They're home.

Casey drops his head with a shuddering breath, leaning back into Michelangelo's steadying hands on his shoulders. It stings, but it's grounding. He can breathe. It's over.

Then he lifts his head to look at the back of his Sensei's shell, sees his clenched fists and thinks it is far from over.

“Leonardo,” Uncle Tello approaches the slider, one hand reaching out. “It's fine. It's fine, we are all fine, so I need you to do me a solid and breathe—”

Sensei slowly turns his head to face Uncle Tello, and even Commander O'Neil takes a step back at the frigid rage swirling in his eyes. Michelangelo inhales sharply through his nose, gently pulling Casey closer. Uncle Tello doesn't flinch, meeting his twin's glare evenly. Eventually, he backs off with raised hands. 

Then Sensei turns to Casey, and Casey wilts under his stare. He's pissed.

Somehow, Casey finds his voice. “...um... Sensei, I—”

“You. Deliberately disobeyed me,” Master Leonardo says lowly, and oh god, he's not pissed. He is livid. 

Casey shrinks back against Michelangelo's chest, his grip the one thing keeping his knees from folding under him. “Sensei, I'm—I'm sorry—”

“Medbay. Now.” 

Master Leonardo marches past them, brisk and tense, a silent threat that they should follow if they want to live. 

Uncle Tello and Commander O'Neil share a look that Casey can't translate. Then Uncle Tello sighs, his expression crumpling for the first time as he buries his face in his hands. This close, Casey can see how much they're shaking. 

Casey's gut twists viciously with guilt. 

Commander—no—Aunt April pats Uncle Tello's shoulder firmly with one hand, the other pulling back his frayed purple hood. “It's alright, Don," she says. "Casey's here. Leo's here. We're all here." 

Uncle Tello's breath shudders out of him. His head still in his hands, his snout twists as he nods.

Aunt April smiles ruefully, patting the soft shell's arm again. "Go. Take care of yourself, Dee. We'll handle things here.”

Uncle Tello responds with another nod, making Casey's innards twist even more as he watches him go. 

Then Aunt April sighs, looking at Uncle Mikey and cocking her head after Master Leonardo. The mystic warrior nods back and ushers Casey forward, not letting him go.

“Don't worry, little man,” he says softly, pressing his beak into Casey's mangled hair. Like he's trying to convince himself that Casey's here at all. “We'll patch you up first, then we can rest. It's... it's been a long day.”

Tell me about it, Casey almost says. Instead—“'M really sorry, Uncle Mike...”

His Uncle sighs into his hair before pressing a kiss to his crown. “I know you are, little man. But I'm not really the guy you should be apologizing to.”

Casey gulps.

I think I might've had better chances with Subprime.

"Welcome to my World" Basically the very few remaining students accept a life inside the school and Aoi gets knocked up multiple times lol. It's not really a serious ending though

I fucking love Davinci basically scolding her son for knocking up one of their best geniuses on their team, a part of the Chaldean family, and now they gotta raise a baby while also saving the world.

I can also imagine that, Ritsuka probably wasn't exactly given much choice to pull out given how many women in Chaldea have more strength than him or have access to strength enhancing magic

Da Vinci: YOU NEED TO WEAR PROTECTION FROM NOW ON

Ritsuka: But I used my Emergency Evade…

Da Vinci: AND LOOK HOW MUCH GOOD THAT DID

YOU THINK I DIDNT TRY?! SHE LEG LOCKED ME WHILE USING REINFORCEMENT! HOW DO YOU WANT ME TO PULL OUT?!

To be fair with how strong these girls are pulling out might not be an option, like can you imagine if it was Barghest or Kiara? You wouldn’t have much of a choice if they didn’t want you to move

[squoonsquoon]

Tell us about your other tavs please! What are their personalities and backstories like? Who’s romancing who? (I really like Kir’rul’s design especially. She looks very pretty)

OOO yeyeyeyeye! Most of these tavs i've only just started their saves, but i have bits on each of them. I dunno if i remember everything rn but oh well! ah lets see... so we got Kir'rul! She was raised in a crèche, and while she was a skilled fighter, she did not like the idea of killing her own in training matches to the death. To be useful to her crèche she was sent out to scout and map out and loot the nearby areas. One day she found a disc with Orpheus's story inscribed (Looted it off a dead githyanki). She resonated with the story, but kept it hidden. She knew she wasn't exactly wanted at her crèche, but she had no idea where else to turn to. Simply biding her time before she can leave. Kir'rul was abducted during her rite of passage, where her attempt to kill a mindflayer instead got her tadpoled. She likes the nature the Prime Material Plane had to offer, especially taking a liking to flowers. She is disappointed at their fleeting beauty however, and how quickly they wilt once plucked. During one of her scouting missions, she found a book with pressed flowers in between the pages. She likes those :3 She doesn't show much emotions, and will do her best to simply follow as instructed, until she finds an good opening. (She waited until the goblins were led back to the grove to kill them) She prefers to bide her time as long as she can. Does love riddles and puzzles, and will spend ages going through them. Kir'rul romances Lae'zel! Coupla gith girlfriends :3 She likes having a githyanki friend who actually wants to work with her. At first hesitant to tell Lae'zel about Orpheus, but now they'll work together to free him! Currently in the middle of Act 2 with them, she's been mostly sneaking around pretending to be part of the Absolute. Next we got Ayla Auberon! A noble gnome from Baldur's Gate who was disowned by her family as a teen after she crashed a very fancy and important party with her newly befriended bear, King. She left with King and became a ranger. She wants to be a Harper and prove herself to her family and the world. She's got a short temper and will act impulsively. Especially when she sees injustice.

Despite being disowned, she's still a rich girl at heart. She acts with much confidence, and likes to flirt with all the ladies. King is her wingman :P She's a terrible singer, but she has fun doing it. She is scared of ghosts but won't admit it. She will probably romance Shadowheart! I can imagine them living in a cottage with all their animals (Ayla eventually finds another bear, names her Queen) Only in Act 1 with her, but I like her bear :3 Then we got Odysseus! I call him Oddy for short just so I don't confuse myself. (I have have been listening to Epic the Musical and I love it and of course that's where Oddy got his name.) He's a single dad with a child waiting for him back at Baldur's Gate. He will do anything to protect his child, and subsequently all the companions he's picked up along the way. He's kinda holding all the companions on a leash and making sure they don't do something stupid and get themselves killed. He's a bit sad but once he reaches Baldur's Gate and knows his daughter is safe, he can be more focused on the task, and maybe say hi to the bear druid hehe. He probably drops his kid off at Jaheira's while they're all busy saving the city.

Whenever I think of all my Tavs in one room, he is the dad taking care of all of them. (He would adopt Myka and Eli in a heartbeat. Kir'rul too but she would say she doesn't need a parental figure.) I plan on him romancing Halsin :3 Finally we got Faelyn Moss! Not really a tav but a dnd character in my friends campaign! A noble who had to quit her wizard studies to marry a rich man to save her family. (That did not go well) She's got a little frog familiar, lovingly called Froggy! A bit weird compared to other nobles, but a fun one hehe. She's a big ol enthusiastic nerd and loves to talk about her latest interests. Likes to set fires and explosions, but its okay she's an evocation wizard! Her friends are perfectly safe :D I think I'll romance Gale with her, coupla nerdy wizards hehe

aaa I'm sure I'm probably forgetting lil bits here and there about them, but thanks so much for this ask! :D I haven't been able to play much of them, but i do like thinking about them hehe if you got more questions or stuff feel free to send them! :P

TDC sequel comics fanon fix rewriting masterpost

If you remember, especially if you scroll down my "rewriting" tag, I think Power of the Dark Crystal had wasted potentials by trying to try too much to be like the first movie, retconning, some very good ideas and new characters wasted, making no sense, and some characters from the movie being wasted, badly written, often OOC and flanderized. Plus, with new canon elements introduced wirh AOR it doesn't even make sense anymore. So with friends notably @dracocheesecake we had decided to fanrewrite it to make it more sense and make it more likable. Notable changes were the ones Skeksis and UrRu returning are not the ones who left in the movie (WTFFF) but the ones who died and were in the Crystal all along, young again, with as main villainous Emperor SkekSo obviously (and HE and UrSu are the ones to die and appear to Kensho in Beneath in the Prism ; I CAN'T ACCEPT SKEKSIL AND URSOL DIE SO STUPIDLY WHILE HE IS SO OOC), Jen and Kira were not useless rulers and in the end rather than following the UrSkeks (WHY) they choose to abdicate and go live in the valley Jen grew up in as hermits alone together, the Lord Commander whom I think was a huge wasted potential survives (he lost his leg tho), is named Jarra AND is the SON of Jen and Kira who is paranoid and brutish to protect his parents who went through hell before his birth (and took too much from Seladon in his behavior and judgement ; REALLY THAT IS EVEN IN THE UNTOUCHED SEQUEL) and then will have to co-rule with Kensho like Thurma will co-rule with her rival in Beneath and he will learn to trust him and make peace in Beneath too as a parralelling plot same for the 2 female Gelf scouts (wasted as well) who will have to learn to trust him and are the Commander's daughters and Jen and Kira's granddaughters, in said sequel's sequel Thurma and Kensho CAN see each other in the end thanks to the fact they have co-rulers so one can leave duties (WHAT'S THE POINT IN MAKING THEM ADORABLE TOGETHER IF TO NEVER MEET AGAIN OUTSIDE OF SPIRITUALLY), NO THE SCEPTER DOES NOT CONTROL THE ARATHIM DURING THE SKEKSIS' ABSENCE they do obey only because they were recreated with Crystal magic then when Skekso returns knowing how to use the Darkening NOW they grow obedient again, SkekSo being young again once drinking essence becomes OVERPOWERED glowing blue veins and eyes like Darkened Deet, and the Mystics without doing too much either because they have a politic of not intervening still interact more with Aughra... and on UrSu's part with Jen

I thought about it again recently and thougjt about adding more !

No Jen and Kira don't spend their days mindfucking through their hands as their kingdom rots because they are tired and just want to be together (GEEZ YOU GUYS HAD *ONE JOB*) but because they are close to abdication so they let most of it be done by their heir and son who is also the Commander who himself blindly listens to the Crystal Eminence. Whenever themselves show doubts, the Eminence quickly reassures them. But they have a bad feeling as they see more and more people come because of that Blight but don't want to humiliate or embarrass their son and just try to advise him. Of course, he is too blinded to protect them he doesn't listen

The only OC created for the whole rewriting, Dr Astris, wife of the Commander and mother of the 2 scouts. She was the one who burned the blight off Kensho and despite her cares left him with scars, and tries to be her family's braincel and control, especially when they are being dicks on a kid who's like 15 in human age. Being confronted to so many Blight-ridden people, she does suspect something has to be wrong, quickly warming up to Thurma trying to convince her husband. His only reaction ? If the Blight spreads she could contaminated so she should perhaps stop, which she does NOT like and slaps him (right after Aughra had bopped him on the head for being clueless and loud). He's like "What'd I say !?". She also spends time with Kira and Aughra with the Mystics while the others are away, enjoying the chant

Idea borrowed from @dracocheesecake, the new Garthim look much different, as said they were recreated thanks to Crystal magic from their carcasses because Jen and Kira (who at this moment were alone and thought were the last, unaware the survivors were at sea) needed help to reconstruct the damaged castle and live there, and since they had been traumatized they had them rebuilt looking different, idk how yet but reusing the same bits, some bits not used, in different places etc. They became their own new Frankenstein creatures, and it is not because they were Skeksis-made (they no longer were) but simply because the Darkening from the scepter once SkekSo has it corrupts them like it corrupts the Nurlocs they end up attacking, they are a hive mind so he corrupts one they all get corrupted

NO I PRECISE AGAIN KIRA WAS NOT RESURRECTED BY THE CRYSTAL SO IF IT BREAKS AGAIN SHE IS NOT IN DANGER She was resurrected by the UrSkeks so SAME FOR KENSHO, Sure it means the Crystal, being Thra, allowed their souls to return, BUT STILL IT WAS THE CRYSTAL WHO STARTED AND FINISHED THE PROCEDURE. Kira dent alone because out of symbolism, Jen is the one who did the quest so she convinces him now he knows Thra he can go without her while she will just make sure to protect the Crystal the best she can. Fizzgig insisted to follow like the good old days

The Borthog was not summoned by UrSol. Wtf why do the sequel acts like the UrSkeks world is a realm drom wgich I can summon stuff from my ass wtf IT'S ITS OWN WORLD THE URSKEKS WERE BANISHED THERE THEN USE THE CRYSTAL TO GO HOME WHEN THEIR BANISHMENT IS OVER IT IS A PORTAL YOU YOURSELF WALK IN AND OUT YOU DON'T DECIDE TO SUDDENLY BRING AT WILL A SANDWICH FROM THERE Nope SilSol long ago had sneaked him in since he was his pet but then lost him and he escaped at the Split. It is because UrGoh is familiar with him since he sometimes wandered around UrSol that he recognizes him and has him follow them, since he was called back by the new Split like a 6th sense (in hope to see his owner again :'( )

Seladon in the meantime got confirmed as half Sifa. And since just like Ethri and Onica she has golden glittery freckles we can conclude it's a Sifan traits. Well since I see Selason as Kira's mother, the Lord Commander also had those, they skipped a generation. But since he has a huge scar across his face, they got ripped away. Also as I had already drawn him with those he has Deet's ears, since i see her as Jen's mother, but he also has a Grottan vision (and so does Jen actually). Their eyes look "normal" but in the dark pupils grow huge and reflect back light sources (idea from @dracocheesecake while we RP'd long ago)

Something both Draco and I sensed that was wasted was how while the Crystal Eminence seemed to be a real opportunistic manipulative jerk, the Commander was a jerk because he SEEMED to genuinely believed him and unlike him seemed to truly care for Jen and Kira (hence the change of relationship in the rewriting, while being a jerk to Kensho he would say something like "my mother was killed before being revived, my father still has nightmares about it, and they both had to hide all their lives. Now we are free to roam again, danger could be anywhere. And my parents may be good and fair, sometimes they are too naive and have too much faith in others getting close to the Crystal. Crystal that had already been shattered before. So I would rather die than let it happen again, whether you call it "excessive" or not, Acolyte.") and have a connection with Thra (hearing and being MOVES by the chant of the Mystics before shaking his head while the Eminence paid no attention) but it is so discreet and not developped enmugh one may think he was complicit. In the rewriting it would be more enhanced how he trusts him and is protective of him as much as his parents because he has known him since childhood and admired his connection with the Crystal and thinks heresy for anyone like Kensho contesting his words ; when he says the Blight doesn't exist, either it's true or on its way to be healed anyway

Also a reason why the Lord Commander is so obsessed in protecting his parents and the Crystal to the point of being an angry sadistic military cliché is because when he was a teenager they dreamfasted collectively to show him their experiences. A fakely good idea. They wanted to show their son their upbringing and illustrate better the tales they told him so he would see it with his own eyes and see how they were like when they were younger, see the Mystics his father had always wished he had known, showed him the healing of the Crystal... but all he saw were Garthim killing Gelfling and Podling, his bany parents crying alone as their parents died, how awful the Skeksis were and, which made him cry, see (and feel) his mother die before resurrecting. That only pushed him further into wanting to protect them and he grew even more extremist

SkekTek being the only one who died during Jen's quest he is the only one to know who Jen (he did see him in the Crystal call) and Kira (SEEING HER EVEN GIVING HIM PTSD) are and instantly warns the Emperor who they are and what they should do to them. SkekSo mentally noting to target them from now

Yes SkekVar was VERY happy to see SkekSo again unable to contain his excitement again and hugging him interrupting him before realizing he was mid evil "MUHAHAHA WE ARE BACK speech". His first reflex when resurrecting is being Smithers

SkekYi and SkekHak are back too. But CONFUSED as shit not understanding at all what they missed and having to be explained as a backgrounf recurring gag by the others "so we drain Gelfling now ?" "YES finally yes !" "But why ?" "UUUGH" "can you tell me about the part where I killed SkekYi myself again ? I'm unsure I got it"

SkekGra and UrGoh RETURN, are instantly banished again by the Skeksis "HEY YOU HERETIC GET OUT OF HERE" who try to kill them like the Skeksis try with SkekSil in the untouched version, and so they follow and try helping Kensho and Thurma. They want to be back as one again and it could be their chance. Oh Mithra !? They do know Mithra they went there for the Dual Glaive they might as well help and guide find an entrance and SkekGra could protect ! And spoiler : they will be one again, at last, GraGoh hugging himself and thanking with a tear Kensho and Thurma as he heals him

When Kensho's village starts bullying Thurma and call her a monster and make her uncomfortable during her meal, SkekGra and UrGoh who until now were hiding under rags show up to her bullies "it does look delicious... like essence !" They scream and run away, they chuckle and SkekGra winks at Thurma who smiles again and giggles. Yes Kensho will have some more words to say to his friends and mother. Not just a "fire demon" with him but also a Skeksis and a monster/dragon lol "oh Kensho in WHAT did you get yourself into !?"

SkekSo and SkekLi as well as SkekSa who has charisma and sounds friendly and cool manipulate and mock the Crystal Eminence to bring them the scepter Jen had left at home since it is useless and just a royal heirloom. One way or another he does, and SkekSo unleashes the Darkening again on distance on the Garthim who out of nowhere start attacking Jen the Commander and their troops, and the ones at home break the Skeksis free our of their prison and take everyone hostage and puts them in prison instead

In fact let's say the Crystal Eminence is Sifan or has Sifan origins. SkekSa, who now hates Sifa for having betrayed her after having cherished them like pets, would be extra manipulative and smug and cool à la good cop, reminding him who she was to his people, how they adored her and saw her like a patron, how this had to be for a reason, how grand it was until that essence business with the other Gelfling, how it could be again, who knows, with that special treatmebt he may or may not be spared hmm ?

The last conflict between Kensho and Thurma and Jen and the Commander before the Garthim are corrupted again and attack them would make even more sense for the Commander to be so obsessed in beating the shit out of kids without stopping to be likable because THEY ARE WITH SKEKGRA AND URGOH THEY ARE WITH A SKEKSIS THEY HAD TO HAVE BEEN CORRUPTED THEY ARE TRAITORS AND SKEKSIS PUPPETS and it would make him not listen to Jen even more logical "Jarra wait-" "STEP BACK FATHER ! BACK OFF, DEMON !"

After losing his leg and having to be brought home by Jen the Commander who now lost a leg feels shitty and depressed thinking he failed to protect his family and Kingdom now the Skeksis are home and the shard is gone all while a side of him understands chasing the teens was wrong but fights against his pride. While left alone with Kira who comforts him he breaks down for the first time in years, crying, calling her mother rather than Lady Kira like he does on duty and apologizes for failing and having his father save him rather than the contrary as if all these years of training to prepare him for this kind of crisis were useless and now disabled he is even less useful. Kira lets him vent it all out his head on her lap wiping off his tears then hums to him the lullaby Jen used to hum to him whose lyrics he did not remember. Deet's Grottan song. It does manage to calm him down

When hearing the new chant from the Mystics, he approaches, moved by the song he recognizes from earlier. UrSu starts gently talking to him, telling him who he was. Jarra knows who he was, in a way he is his grandfather. But he reproaches him not to do anything. Not to have EVER done anything, not even told Jen about the prophecy earlier, does that mean he and the others don't care ? UrSu explains his way to see things, not to intervene and help wheb it is done and let Thra choose. Jarra wants to be a little bitch again, Aughra boops him on the head. Jen, who was there catching up the good old days with him aks UrTih, manage to convince him to come and sit, and meditate and listen, as Kira does further away with her daughter in laws and grand daughters who have no other things to do and go through the same turmoil as their father

The Crystal Eminence dies offscreen because he was old so the mirrored draining technique was enough to kill him from exhaustion whereas the Podling in the movie was young enough to just become a zombie (@dracocheesecake again !)

SkekTek helps draining the Crystal Eminence and that Podling before, being the one to know how it works (why do SkekAyuk and SkekUng know now. STUPID). But he keeps being bullied by SkekSo and the others and seeing Aughra who keeps saying he could be good like as TekTih has him go through an existencial crisis and confrontation with her ("we were friends, you built the Orary for me, Thra gives you a second chance !" "...another world... another ti-" "yeah yeah I know ! What you told before draining me !!" *HE SNAPS AND SLAMS THE TABLE* "I KNOW MY PLACE !"), all while observing how technologly evolved notably weaponry

For indeed SkekSo is smart and sends SkekMal... he is the one to stab Kensho nearly to death in the end. But UrVa went after him as well and in the ends manages to harm him and himself enough to prevent him from touching Thurma or killing Kensho off. They don't die. And UrVa (and MalVa) can have last exchanges and looks with Aughra, who really missed them the most and can't help but shed a tear seeing them alive again as one even if it is a farewell

Overpowered SkekSo was like SkekUng in the untouched version about to kill the Gelfling and Jen and Kira as the castle was completely crumbling over the Crystal with Thurma and Kensho struggling to survive beneath when SkekGra and UrGoh, who escape from SkekMal but couldn't protect Kensho they think is dead, climb up and interrupt, SkekGra thinking he could at least have a faceoff to help Thurma and the other Gelfling gain time and distract him with a random shard UrGoh had picled up. SkekSo DOES want to use his new powers to kill SkekGra once and for all and believes this is the one shard he wants off, and the 2 end up fighting. He ends up getting the upperhand since he is overpowered and gets the shard, but then feels/hears the Crystal being healed and looks down with confusion. He sees unconscious skekMal with an arrow and Thurma on top of the Crystal, goes crazy and jumps down to try to break it again, on a near platform. But just as he is down, near all the other fake crystal shards he understands the one he is holding comes from, Mithra starts reviving below. He starts to understand he fucked up by being down there... just when a military smoke bomb, about to explode, falls at his side. He looks up. SkekTek grins evilly "SCIENTIST !? YOU'RE ON THEIR SIDE !?!" "No" he wants to jump at him but his power wears off just at that moment "I've just always hated your guts" SkekSo turns to tge shards that vibrate more and more with a look of horrot as the smoke bomb blasts off, leading in a chain of event to the one spark needed for the layer of earth separating Mithra from Thra to explode (and Mithra's sun to go up like in the untouched story) and all the shards tear apart SkekSo to death like they do with SkekSil in the untouched version

Jen sees UrSu die before him again...

And SkekTek does not reform, he didnt do it for the Gelfling or Thra but just as a last minute revenge against his bully he finally understood he would never have him accept him, whereas Aughra did always like him. They smile at each other one last time before he becomes TekTih again, who feels guilty for having been the cause of it all

In Beneath the Dark Crystal now ! The Ember Queen arc won't change much. Maybe make the Fire That Stays less "muhahaha evil plot twist" and more something psychological truly making him bitter thinking nobody deserves to live anymore not even himself, the Great Dim couldn't be prevented so all he and his ancestors and founders did was for naughts, he failed so should pay and they all were unworthy so should pay. And Thra did become anew again after it died. He wants Thurma to join him in his suicide fantasy that could save their world. ALSO I WANT FIOLA TO ACTUALLY PARTICIPATE IN THE PLOT ! She is an Ember Queen, she was just as threatened as Thurma by Nita and the end showed she does know to fight, why not going on that adventure and challenge !? That way she protects her queen honor AND gets to socialize with Nita too like Thurma did, in the very end they will work together without having bonded come on last time she saw her she was called an imposter why be friendly even if Thurma tells her she's nice now ? And let's have HER be the one to be the nicest of the so 1) trying to break fights between the other 2 or be awkward about it 2) be the one to sneak in Terby (HOW COULD HE FIND THEM SO EASILY AND CATCH UP SO QUICKLY WHILE THEY WERE SO FAR) because she thought it would be good to have Thurma have support and 3) be the one to talk alone with Nita when she catches her firecalling and possibly hint at a developping crush especially during the end

MUCH more has to change for the Gelfling arc because it was A MESS. So first we see like in the beginning Kensho with Aughra and other fidels surprised to meet him and be impressed (and thinking the Crystal resurrected him which was a widespread rumor he keeps trying to correct) while Jarra, who also suffers from lacking his leg and needing a cane while he was a warrior, is furious to have to share his throne with a rebellious awkward teenager dating a fire demon, he and his daughters still don't trust him. And the people who doubt Kensho's legetimacy don't shy away showing their preference even in his presence which only makes him feel even more like an imposter "don't worry Lord Jarra you are the one rightful Lord to us, courage". Also because the castle STAYED broken this time, they are slowly rebuilding it around the Crystal with lots of improvised tents and rooms in the meantime

Kensho's friends were the worst part. They all were forced additions with the personality of a house plant. Toolah in her wish to become a guard could be a huge fan of the former Commander awkwardly trying to have him notice her but he is so infuriated by the current situation he ignores her. Kensho has her follow him (even if she kinda liked him already and was grateful someone finally noticed her) telling her he could then try to talk to him as equals about her and validate this as an official mission. Because indeed yes she is weirded out "uuuuh isn't giving back the offerings a thieving ?" "Well if I'm the Lightborn as they call me I can make it a new law no ?" "And the Royal Born, will he know ?" "...no but he doesn't have to know until it's done. And don't worry I- *gulp* I'll say you were not aware and just wanting to make sure the Borthog was going well and I would take the blame" "Oh joy I'm starting as a double agent..."

And the twins whose name I forgot for how boring and useless they were and are just twin version or Huey Dewey and Louie with the same personality and finishing each other's sentences. I don't know yet how but I will have to make them more fun a less forced way, less "himbo", more unique from each other maybe the trans one being more handsy and crafty since she did make her fake wings belt and they do work, less forced way to become friends "ok ok fine you got us. But for not selling us out to the guards let us thank you and reward you at our home" "isn't it to bribe us?" "...noooo >.>" before getting attached for real, they can brawl, and they don't need more than just a password or code to enter THEIR OWN FUCKING VILLAGE WHY DID THEY EVEN NEED TO ENTER IT WITH SO MUCH DIFFICULTIES AND USELESS KNIFING AND TOSSING AROUND ?!

Speaking of which, Dagger Root bothers me being such a dark, criminal place for Gelfling to live in. Really makes all Jen and Kira's efforts and the past efforts of all the clans uniting be for naughts if they live so miserably with a hateful atmosphere Skeksis or not. Soooo in the rewriting it's becaude Dagger Root is actually not a real village per say but a criminal village with its own juridiction passing itself the Lord Commander has been suspicious about and been trying to enter for trines but they can only enter legally in fear to cause a diplomatic issue and the access is limited to outsiders. What happens behind the walls stays behind the walls hence why it attracts thieves and other criminals (often becoming the Branches), as well as desperate people who had nowhere else to go during the Blight (often becoming the Seeds). It is essentially a mafia-owned villaged terrorized by them but powerful and cunning enough not to be bothered by twisting laws to their advantages and even when you know it's false you can't do anything or YOU are in the wrong. Trunk obviously comes from that family. As he says, which was good and did have potential, his father found Skeksis weapons and torture devices at the beginning of Jen and Kira's reign and while they were nothing but farmers became a crime family using fear to become richer and built Dagger Root, which was a cool idea to show that the Skeksis could keep corrupting even without being there and that not all Gelfling are good. HOWEVER WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT DEAL WITH SKEKSIS METAL !?! IT NEVER WAS DARK MAGIC OR EVIL OR ANYTHING IT'S NORMAL METAL MADE FROM THRA WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT PLOT POINT PULLED OUT OF- *deep inhale* in the rewriting they are just normal weapons and torture devices (yes, the peeper beetle is there too) with no particular powers but still forbidden stince torture is not part of Gelfling culture, except for Trunk and his family who don't care and see it as useful. However, ecen though none of them ever knew, one of the sword, the one he uses on Kensho to open his scar and see the "light" (which is NOT real, Kensho insists he doesn't glow and the Crystal wasn't tge one who brought him to life but the rumor is so widespread Trunk doesn't believe him) was SkekLach's sword she had when she died from the Darkening. So it has been infected all along without Trunk's father or himself noticing. But that is why he is bald and so ugly for a Gelfling. Without even realizing, he is exposed to the Darkening and his father died from that. Enhanced by his veins glowing purple whenever he touches it. And that's why Kensho reacts so badly and falls into a comma. His blood comes in contact with the Darkening, and not anywhere but in the sensitive place that had to be "fixed" to have him live again. So he falls unconscious, with NO light, making him go to the Prism

When Kensho has his existencial crisis about being not a good ruler while being tortured in the Prism, it is old UrSu reassuring him, and old Skekso, bitter to be stuck there alone with "himself" while the other left, who show up. And So's manipulative words with Su trying to have Kensho not listen to him I think would have much more impact than SkekSil. Power corrupts. Look at him. He did all of that for power. Power turns you evil even against your own kind. Unless you want powee because you always had it in you. One day when he will be oldrr he will end up doing just as many atrocities as he did. Believe his experience. Just a matter of time. He will not be able to protect anyone from chaos. Let alone chaos from himself. He was touched by the Blight, he was touched by the Darkening. Soon his body and mind will be corrupted and he will obsess over life and power. They do already have something in common don't they ? And has already Darkened SkekSo (he was so much I am sure his soul even is at this point ; could be why he got so overpowered before, essence + young + even if healthy again Darkened soul) makes him doubt further and panic further and touches his things as well as the little rock whose name I forgot he has from Thurma, an IRL reaction occurs unconscious Kensho starts emitting Darkening smokes and lightnings à la Deet. Touching Trunk directly who dies exploding like SkekLach (which disgusts horribly Kensho's friends when they arrive, one of the twins has to vomit) so no useless needless Gollum moment of him crying for the Light. And of course it infects the place and spreads from one Branch to another even if at first they don't really realize as the good guys bring Kensho out, who, in the Prism, ends up being given that speech about love by UrSu and tells hil he can seek for answees at the Mystics Valley. Where Jen and Kira are now

I also oughta do something with Dinhmor. Dude is useless and is there just to be "quirky" by constantly being shady playing the lute controbuting to nothing so I expected him to be an opportunist but no he is good and genuine out of nowhere. Sooo... how to make him likable and credible in the rewriting... I know. He WILL start as an opportunist who follows and speaks well and schemes for his own gain but will end up getting attached (BUT IT WILL HAVE TO BE SHOWN) as a lil parrallel to SkekSil following and plotting in the movie but if SkekSil was a gelfling and surprised himself turning out good. So. Instead of being crammed out of nowhere "lolz" in the rewriting he is first seen sneaking in the Chamber of the Crystal trying to steal some of the offerings. The 2 Gelfling scouts spot him and do know him and had already arrested him many times before and he tries to be honeyed to get outta here, but because they want to be "generous" for now (their father just became Lord and they too are upset Kensho did too so their mind is elsewhere) they just kick him out with a warning. Later as he is walking his way in the forest grumpily with nothing he overhears first about Kensho and Toulah and the twins (AND HE SEES THE OFFERINGS) about going to Dagger Root. Hmm perfect ! He goes further faster and reaches it first and does like in the untouched version he denounces them offscreen in hope he could have a special treatment and avoid tithes. But like in the untouched version Trunk still throws him in jail. When all the chaos happens he actually follows along rather than being part of it (he didn't even know or like the others yet nor know they were there, why helping have the guard sleep if HE DIDNT FUCKING KNOW TGERE WAS GONNA BE A RESCUE MISSION ?) and sneaks his way out from a little passage he knows, just to pop in front of the 2 patrolibg scouts "you again ?!" he feels trapped so he improvises so that they are distracted and indicates where he came from. An entrance to Dagger Root there all along !? The fact he mentionned he escaped !? Perfect ! They finally can enter and catch the Branches and Tru k in the act and arrest that village from inside ! He thinks he will get away with it buuut they drag him with them to make sure he doesn't lie and guide them. They had other guards with them, so it is not just a simple "come on Seeds rebel" "omg she's right" speech from the good guys that motivates the rebellion but seeing the fucking army come to aid that motivates the people to fight back. But he wants to get away from so overseeing the good guys carry Kensho away (and one of the scout sisters notice the Borthog flying away admist the battle and her gears start turning), he follows escaping from the sisters' vision (they did plan to interrogate him "sooo what was he doing there hm?") pretending he called the castle guards on purpose and they need someone like him for words, while he actually doesn't believe in their crap charity and just wants money for himself. But force of being with them through a BETTER made montage we would see they all do bond and he does help... he stays a magnificent bastard who keeps some for himself tho but the lovable kind who is called out and read through especially by Toolah and the twins "hey dude we too decided to give up on that. So do you" *grumbles and gives back the gold he took*

The Darkening starts spreading from Trunk's remains and the prison. Some disgusted Branches approach with disgust and discuss who should be the new Trunk now, and debating if they actually need a whole new system now the Seeds are being helped by the royal guards and arresting them all or just run away before being found. And guards do end up arrive and find them and arrest them too there. But unaware of its dangers they all expose themselves. And it is a row form of Darkening. So these Branches are being locked up with the other Branches and contaminate them, and the guards join the others guards (minus the 2 scouts who left to inform their father) and contaminate them among the Seeds whose testimonies they are taking. In a matter of minutes, they all become crazy, in pain and aggressive like on rabies, like we saw with animals

Meanwhile former Lord Commander current Lord Jarra is grumpy not to be able to go fight, defend and patrol himself stuck on his throne with his missing leg. Especially his doctor wife telling him to rest. They wonder where Kensho is, but he also just hopes not to see him too much so won't complain, so hopefully he he gave up and joined his fire demon girlfriend once and for all and dodges on time Aughra's cane who came out of nowhere and calls out his shit and reminds him all said fire demon and Kensho did for Thra while he was just turning in circles. When their daughters arrive proudly telling him Dagger Root is being sieged at last. Finally some good news ! He brags THEY get some things done in that kingdom at least and this counts as his first successful exploit as a ruler ! He calls for a celebration, but one of the 2, perhaps the darker colored one (fan named Olira), is not too eager and tells him she saw the Borthog fly away, with people and crates on him, meaning he was not in the stables. And they all knew who this monster obeyed to. Jarra has a moment of realization and with his cane rushes the best he can to the Crystal Chamber. The offerings are gone !?! KENSHO. HE LEFT WITH THE OFFERINGS AND HIS STEED. Against his wife's wishes, he mounts a landstrider and takes a spear and goes find the heretic thief himself, ordering his daughters to follow him to deal with his acomplices. Dr Astris is upset both for his health and for Kensho, and asks Aughra why she didn't try stop him or say anything. She smirks and senses that it could be Thra finally bringing them on the same wave

Oh and NO lie about needing to go to the Mystics Valley. Because that was USELESS. Kensho, you were literally in a magic-induced coma from which dark purole glow and smoke came out of you. If you say you were told to find answers there, they will believe you and agree, you moron ! Which he does in the rewriting, the twins and and Dinhmor are a bit hesitant because they do know Jen and Kira (aka the former rulers and they are criminals) live there and Kensho himself actually (he knows they want to be hermits alone together so fears to bother, plus he fears to pass as a bad leader to them for how he fucked up so far according to his angsty teen eyes) but they end up following whocthey believe is named Kay for whatever vision he saw, giving the offerings away on the way helping them bond in a montage during which we see the former Lord Commander follow their trace by seeing offerings distributed which little by little leads him where they are going

Once in the Valley, Kensho meets Jen and Kira, who are happy to see him again and the others are awkward and honored and don't know if they have to bow or shake hands, Toolah purely fangirling hoping they could talk about her to their son for a guars promotuon, just Dinhmor being an anticonformist staying in the back with an unsure look. Problem Kensho underplanned, they call him by his name. The twins and Dinhmor do recognize the name of the Lightborn. This is where shit hits the fan but a less cliché and more logical way. The 3 are shocked, but Dinhmor takes it the worst. He who was finally considering change, willing to turn around getting attached to them and his altruistic ways, and was turning around his initial lie into genuine reality for the first time in his life because for the FIRST time ever after having had always been alone and needing to count on his words and charisma to survive while the Lords and the Maudras and Paudrus never noticed him he wzs FINALLY starting to feel hope, not only he was lied to but one of these privileged bastards using him all along now they needed him !?

They argue, him reproaching all of that as Jen kira and the others watch with concern, and Kensho who saw by himself it was because of the Crystal Eminence and innocently helped by the Commander defending his mentors (who choose to say nothing because they do feel guilty to have been blinded for so long and genuinely feel very bad to see a Gelfling who needed them but never had help) the best he can which doesn't really work without context and examples and insisting he is younger and was just a simple peasant until recently so had nothing to do with his upbringing. "And ever since you came in power, what new did you do for your people exactly ?" which outs him in silence remembering SkekSo's words in the prism. He goes silent which has Dinhmor tsk with disdain "I knew it."

The twins Danevay and Aiyana (yeah I finally looked up their names) are kinda shocked he was THE Kensho all along and pretended to be called Kay, but are not upset about that. They do see Dohnmir's point and could have agreed if they had known earlier without bonding with Kensho, but their try to calm him down and defend Kensho taking his defense alongside Toolah saying they saw his true colors and saw he was using his new status to help with the offerings distribution, perhaps he is actually the one they needed when suddenly a booming voice exclaims "STAY AWAY FROM MY PARENTS YOU BANDITS" and as they all turn it's Jarra and his daughters "GIRLS ARREST THEM ALL" Kensho tries to stop him but they throw a bolas at the 4 others while Jarra gets down from his landstrider, trips pathetically but gets up and yells at Kensho reproaching him that he KNEW it once a thief always a thief and now he was with other thieves ! Jen and Kira are tired of his shit and interpose and contest, as Kensho's anxiety is growing. The scout girls are on their ways to drag the others away but their grandparents forbid them and as Lord Jarra tries to argue and tells Kensho stole from the Crystal they don't want to hear anything more and as former Lords of the Crystal demand that he releases these people and tell him as usual Kensho is a good boy and if he is with them he must have a good reason like he had with Thurma. Their son's jealous rage grows even lore but he has no choice, and barks at the girls that they are released "OLIRA. RYLON. CUT THE BOLAS" "But Father-" "I SAID CUT IT!" so they do, as disappointed since they had Dinhmor doing shady stuff again

And after that experience now not only Dinhmor is even more wary of the royals, the twins now lost trust. So it was a trap ? They all were set to meet there for him to trap them ? Kensho assures that no, but they have too many doubts and leave with Dinhmor. Toolah stays, and is very embarrassed, this could end forever her career wishes, so she tries to explain Jarra ("who are you, the stable girl?") and apologize all while defending Kensho's point trying to have him defend her in return and tell about her too... but he is so anxious and ashamed he says nothing, leaving her all alone and breaking his promise. Disappointed and thinking she def lost her opportunity as Jarra is already fuming for other things tells her she is lucky his parents were kind, she leaves too, near tears, which Kensho is too. No pointless "YOU LIED ABOUT YOUR NAME AND THE VALLEY ? ;.;" that felt forced as shit

Now it is just Jarra (who demanded his daughters to leave since after all they had nobody to bring in prison) and Kensho. More argument and Kensho being near tears as his co-ruler yells at him how much of a treacherous thief he is and Kensho snaps back arguing and of course the self-depreciating speech he has in the untouched comics. But before Jarra make it even worse Jen and Kira cut them once again, trying to comforr Kensho and scolding their son (and Fizzgig barking at him), who tries to explain himself but they are firm this time. He is an adult, he is a teen, he should act like an adult !

Aughra doesn't come, it is Jen and Kira who gives the wise speech to Kensho with Jarra having to listen to it whether he likes it or not, with an extra "and you both are rightful rulers. The Royalborn and the Lightborn One chosen by his line, the other by Thra. You have to rely on each other. Kensho, you must not hide anything and you have to consert Jarra before taking your decisions as noble as they are. And Jarra, Kensho already proved himself with the Skeksis crisis, and he is a symbol who returned from Thra like [Kira] and helped the Crystal be fixed like [Jen]. You both have Mother Aughra's blessing. Thra knows what She is doing". It does work with Kensho like it does in the untouched comics. It will need more for Jarra who is too fuming to "lose the battle", but it's already working up in his brain

Later, same scene of Kensho left alone with the Borthog when lighting up a firecamp. In the meantime, Jen and Kira are chatting more with their son, this time asking hil how things are going. He says things are perfect... at first, then confesses it is so strange not to have them around anymore, he is always worried. And feels disminished by his phantom leg. Comforting parents ensues. Which leads to him saying he doesn't know if he can even rule that good anymore sincr he can't even watch Kensho and his schemes closer. They both assure he can still be a good ruler and protector but defend Kensho. As he starts protesting, they intervene "but we did stop taking offerings, they were not what the Crystal wanted" "yes but those were given already !" "What is the point of keeping something needless ?"

As the firecall ensues, almost nothing changes since it isn't weird and it is cute (FOR ONCE THE OTP INTERACTS). Same chat between them and as Cindrah comes and tells them their purpose. But adding an extra : being both from Thra and Mithra, both Gelfling and Fireling, neither dead or alive, neither future present or past, both mortal and spirit, she gives the same power the Sanctuary Tree gave Deet to absorb the Darkening to be able to protect Thra while Thurma has to protect Mithra from the Fire that Stays. Thurma knows what she means. Kensho... doesn't yet. Next day, he on the Borthog and Jarra on the landstrider leave, not addressing a word. Though the latter notices the former looks less sad and more... "hopeful" "...had nice dreams, I suppose" "...I... spoke to Thurma through the campfire" ".........ok" not knowing enough about Firelings to know if it's normal or not and not caring

When Kensho finds his friends again at the fountain as both him and the former Commander stopped for their steeds to drink, same in the comics they meet the other good guys again minus Toolah. They first see Kensho. They are not pleased and he apologizes, and assured he did not know the Commander was following... and assures he won't arrest them. To which he mutters "unfortunately" with an eyeroll. When he asks where Toolah is, a Podling is scared at the coming of a rabid Darkened Branch. They all get scared since it acts like a zombie and Jarra wants to defend everyone despite being on a cane pointing his spear at him "BACK OFF DEMON !" but Kensho recognizes the purple eyes, it was the same hue as the Skeksis weapon and the Scepter. The Darkening ! And he remembers the power Cindrah gave him (INSTEAD OF A JESUS MOMENT WHEN HE KNOWS FOR NO REASON IT WILL WORK AND HUGS). He urges Jarra not to hurt him and tells him he looks in pain and to let him try something. He hugs him and absorbs it, like in the comics, but unlike the comics it doesn't just disappear. It hurts Kensho, and his veins that were glowing blue until then glow purple. Like Deet

Jarra realizing it is an infected Branch, by his logic others as well as the guards could be touched, and could return to the Crystal that way (and no bullshit "SKEKSIS METAL WILL HAVE THEM ACT LIKE SKEKSHOD MOTHS TOWARDS LIGHT AND CASTLES) and like in the comics Dinhmor informs Toolah returned to the castle in hope to become a guard hoping she can with what happened with the former Commander. So same thing, they all go decide to the castle's (reconstruction) site, with Lord Jarra hesitating about helping, thinking... "OH WHAT THE HECK" it's about saving his lands and his family dammit he won't let him do it alone anf for once can put his bad feelings aside ! So he runs after them flying in the sky from his landstrider

Same 2nd to last battle as in the comics, with Toolah joining in after the other 3 left on the Borthog and all, just as an extra she didn't come alone but with the 2 scouts who did hear what was happening to their troops, another extra the lord Commander Jarra JUMPING IN A WAR CRY and doing his best to slow the Darkened ones down without hurting them (much) until sadly they end up making him fall from his steed who gets killed by the rabid Gelfs as a parralel to the poor landstrider in the movie, he needs to be up and once again feels weak and useless but Kensho helps him up, which has him thank him and try to cover him the best he can on his sole leg with his cane and spear. And as another extra Kensho trying to absorb the Darkening like Deet and just like her the more he goes the more weak and hurt he gets and glows purple and dark, and gets overwhelmed by all the infected guards and Branches alike (who are RABID so they need to be kicked away and no stupid "YOU LOOK NIIIIICE GIVE IT TO MEEEEE I WANT ALL NICE THIIIINGS" shut the fuck up) and has to be taken away by Toolah like in the comics but just touching him hurts because now he is SO absorbed he is like Deet after the battle, plants wither around him and just touching him burns so he is accidentally dropped on the ground out of reflex. Jarra is carried away by his daughters

Where they reunite near the Crystal, Kensho's friends are concerned but he assures only he can do that and they have to and says his plan that he has to bring them all in one place so that he with thr help of the Crystal, this gift being from Thra, can help him do it. The former Lord Commander recognizes the symptom and remembers where he had seen that power he has before, remembering records from the Battle of Stone-in-the-Wood. This is not the "Dark" as they called it but "the Darkening" like what controlled the Garthim, only the healed Crystal can probably heal it which confirms his words meaning that he agrees with him for the first time. Oh and Jarra saw how well Toolah fought and how strong and brave she had been, he is impressed to have seeb her return and tells her that at this rate she could be a good guard after all. She has a fangirl moment and wants to cry in joy but has no time

Kensho, Toolah, Jarra and the 2 Gelfling scouts present themselves and the clergyman and guards blame it all on Kensho. But Toolah's speech is here said by Jarra himself (she was about to argue in his place but he stopped her rising a hand, for once he is calm) who finally got the lesson and understood they need to work together because he is as legetimate as him and was chosen 2 times and his poor background means nothing. So that it can finally wrap their arc and because we alrzady know Toolah supported Kensho and believed in him so it would be much more impactful from someone who didn't until recently ; also being the son of Jen and Kira they supported earlier in the story, the courtiers sure can't oppose his words

Again like the untouched comics, Kensho tries doing it by himself but once again is overwhelmed and weaker and weaker to the point of falling into a much shorter coma and be in the Prism. Toolah and, here's a difference, the scout Gelflings saved him and he is scolded both by Toolah and Mother Aughra he needs to stop to do things himself, as Astris is putting bandages on Toolah's and her daughters' hands sincr he burns more and more at the touch. Himself is very weak, he can't move by himself anymore. Aughra then points both at him and Jarra. You both are the rulers. Work together "You, empty jar head. Now you made peace with him, help him use his power. Ally both of your abilities together or both of you will be lost". It is his time to prove himself as the protecting, fitting ruler he had been raised to become, all while helping the teen he shares the throne with putting their rivalry aside because their lands need them

But how to enter the Crystal Chamber, the only finished close room so far, without being touched when they both are without wings and him has one less leg and won't be able to do much carrying a teen in his hands ? This is when Aiyana offers her wings to the Lord and reveals she is trans. Jarra is very impressed by such technology from a bandit but doesn't address it. Yes, in the rewriting HE flies. Wearing improvised gloves (and it starts smoking) holding a very weak Kensho and the fake wings, they both ride the Borthog (ratger Jarra with Kensho's weak indications, why is that monster so uneasy !?) near a window until jumping and flying. The 2 rulers together. The Royal Born and the Light Born. The former finally feeling useful and active ever since he lost his leg and the latter as soon as he is dropped (the gloves ended up burning away) absorbing all the Darkening. Everybody is healed, wondering what they are doing there, former Lord Commander Jarra keeps flying over the Crystal and which is a sight that impresses everyone...

...but another sight frightens everyone. Kensho is on his knees. Grey-purplish. Trembling all over. Glowing. Soulless-looking, that close not to be himself anymore or just dead. As scary as Deet on SkekSo's throne in the vision. The ground he is on growing black, burnt and spreading. The healed Branches and Guards and the courtiers who returned start to get scared and Kensho's friends horrified. But for once in his life, the former Commander doesn't resort to violence. Concerned, his Grottan ears drooped, he lands the best he can on one leg, hops Kensho slowly using his balance the best he can without his cane, gently takes him by the arm (which not only burns atrociously but he chooses to ignore it but the Darkening is so concentrated it starts spreading to himself, his own veins glowing) and he is so out of himself he lets him do, and as his own eyes start to glow purple too and gets weaker, he guides both of them to the Crystal and they both hug it

Everybody sees, and everybody sees them heal. No dumb "the Light is for everyone" since it's not about the Light, but Aughra who barges in, saying this should be an example to all (Kensho is way too close to death to give a speech here). The Crystal is for everyone, and building a new Chamber around it is useless and always has been, these 2 Gelfling come from very differenr backgrounds, but undersrood its meaning and how to use it. Which makes them legetimate. Kensho, who only is now starting to feel better, thanks the Commander, who himself sadly apologizes and thanks *him*. Kensho precises to Aughra it could be the opportunity for them all ro understand he is not that special and did not resurrevt from the Crystal's Light once and for all since he did need help from the actual heir to the throne. Which the clergyman overhears and agrees, and admits such honesty speaks wise words from one of the Two Rightful Rulers of Thra. Kensho is bewildered as every Gelfling bows to him and his former rival, who unlike him knows how to stand tall (helping himself balanced one hand on his ex rival's shoulder) before that kind of event but not without a small smirk and sideglance towards the baffled teenager. All Hail the Royal Born and the Light Born

Later during the celebration, a new kind of castle is being built not around the castle which is now exposed like it always was meant to but behind it, a new castle that won't look like Skeksis architecture but true gelfling one, not so gigantic like it never needed to be for only 2 rulers. Aughra discusses the changes and all these events with Lord Jarra, his wife Astris with him. Like in the untouched comics the twins help the new castle's construction, having been hired permanently, and Aiyana shyly returns to Jarra asking him if the prosthetic leg she built for him works, he lifts up his robes revealing a removable leg that allows him to walk like before and even if he IS satisfied and starts complimenting he realizes what he is saying and goes back to tsundere mode adding that'll do and that it's best to keep her and her sister under his eye so they steal nothing. Toolah became a guard, saluting the 2 scouts who give her an order. Dinhmor, who seems to be the bard turning around, comes to them too smug and flirty as usual halg taunting since now he is no longer a thief they can't arrest him anymore and invites for a drink. They glare at him... until the lighter one goes "...why not" "RYLON !?"

When Aughra realizes Kensho is not there and asks why. Jarra says that since Thra has 2 rulers now, they can afford to have one away for a moment one ruling for both during his absence. Because it would be better to meet the fire demon not just through firecalls for once. Astris smiles "ah, to be young and in love" and he hugs her. Meanwhile, Kensho travels on the Borthog, stops by to help the best he can whenever he sees he can help (Jarra is the politician/military of the 2. Kensho is the religious symbol/closer to people of the 2). Chatting with Thurma through firecalls in campfires. So when she and Nita in her arc separate because Nita is going to help people away like Fiola does with Glasme and Thurma stays and she wanders alone gazing bittersweetly at her late mother's statue. Like in the untouched comics, Kensho initiates the call through a torch, and they chat. Then mid chat, she hears the voice as... doubled... then she turns and he is there, for real. He made her a surprise. And their kiss is a real one, truly physically reunited. Brcause they fucking deserve it

If your muse became a parent to a child How would they be like, and what type of parenting style would they use?

To both Laurence and Akihiko

Laurence

It’s hard to imagine him having kids sooner after marriage is silly, but if he ever wants to, he would.

Soccer dad most likely.

Would call his child “superstar”, “champ”, or anything that brighten up the child.

He can be the parent that seems to forget stuff due to so much work and tight schedule that nearly prevents him from seeing his child often, he actually remembers every single things in the to-so list of the household. If it’s his turn to take care of the baby/child, he already has his corporation know about his weekly schedule beforehand.

Laurence would teach them many essential things, like how to repair a car, fishing, camping, hunting, cooking, etc. Even giving random tips about life!

Despite also making sure that the line between reality and fantasy worlds don’t get blurred, he also protects his child(ren)‘s childhood like letting them believe that Santa is real (but also adding that only gives gifts to children in need) for example.

He unhesitatingly would send his child to a scout camp, you know, boy’s scout or girl’s scout- it honestly doesn’t matter the gender, is just a group of kids doing actual essential learning for survival, artistic, social, and physical skills! Education for his children can be so important as well as their health.

Would buy them ice cream or make bbq on the backyard event after his children finish their tests or finals (part 2 if they happen to pass the exams too!)

Always wants to keep the kids on their toes, and to never ever touch phone addiction! He would successfully offer so many kinds of entertainment that doesn’t have to do with screen-time. Books, sports, traveling, etc… Can you imagine the kind of dad that brings his kids to work? Well, it sometimes involves going to a different country that would be fun to look around!

Laurence doesn’t like to lock his kids at the house and wants them go out very often! He picks his kids from school by card, or walk them home if the school happens to be very close- teaches them how to take train, bus, taxi, boat, airplane, etc. that way they would know where to go in the future when they want to travel somewhere!

Gives good advices on how to make friends at school, but also how to carefully make great bonds that last longer.

Akihiko

He’s from a family where they prepare the money for both the kid’s birth, necessities, AND the entire school life tuitions before doing it./ih

Despite being a quiet gentleman, he honestly wouldn’t dare to keep secrets from his kids. Unless is something very complicated and… dangerous part of his job.

And you know, the kind of papa that doesn’t let out much words. But he protects and cherishes his kid in his own ways.

He encourages his children to do gardening, even having each of them have a bonsai to take care of as a way of teaching them how to nurture something and embrace nature.

His teachings may be a bit strict at first, keeping them on their toes and make them have some discipline for themselves. His way to reward for their efforts is most likely headpats… and let them tell one thing they like to do for the day, but only once.

I can imagine him also teaching his kids how to do households chores if they ever have to live on their own(I mean, that is honestly up to the kids when they grow up, he honestly doesn’t mind them stay with him) also training them by giving them kendo or archery lessons.

Like Laurence, he would already have his workplace know about his weekly schedule beforehand. He probably is even more responsible at home than you ever thought.

With that result, the kids would often come back home by themselves from school. Hang their bookbags into their respective shelves, shower, and even have their mom or dad make them something to eat. If they’re not around, the kids would’ve already know how to make snacks by themselves before going to their rooms to do their homework. If there are any questions they’re struggling with, Akihiko always assures to come back early as usual to help them with their homework.

He would bring kids to work if the holiday comes.

Besides chores, Akihiko tries to make sure he isn’t emotionally absent to his children. He willingly lets them come to his room and listen to their troubles and assist them as much as he can when they need it.
