Since I don't see many Raphael girlies post about the ascended fiend, I'll take it upon myself and do such. The things I would gladly do to Raphael while he's in his ascended fiend form and the things I need him to do to me are one too many. That is all.

The canon queer characters we have are:

Keeley, who is a positive character and always has been

Colin, who was a dick and now is slightly better with some grey areas

Trent, who was a dick and now is happy and making friends with the team

Will, who is been perfect all along (the threesome thing made him canonically queer I'm sorry)

And then we have Jack, who is a dick with grey areas

So you're telling me the representation isn't good because the woman who just arrived doesn't have a redemption arc? I'm sorry, I thought you could be a dick or a good person independently from your sexual preferences, and people aren't just "good" or "bad", sometimes they're just "people". If you have a bunch of not heteros it can happen that not all of them are good? Also, Jack is a dick because she's corporate, not because she is a woman or bisexual.

Edit after I read some tags: I don't remember a single post, it was a general vibe from some posts about Jack and bad rep, you know that fandom wave thing

I saw a post about this a hot minute ago and I'm so mad I can't find it BUT. While I LOVE Present Mic as a popular radio personality, there isn't really that much concrete evidence to support that idea. (Which, to be fair, there isn't a lot of concrete evidence about the careers/public perception of a lot of pros outside of All Might, Endeavor, sorta Hawks, etc., so you can pry that headcanon out of my grasp with a crowbar and so on.) That being said, I think a really fun angle to explore re: Present Mic as a radio host-pro hero-UA teacher (that I may or may not have the bare bones of a fic about👀) is the idea that Mic debuted as a very successful hero and entertainer, and experienced pretty steady growth in both aspects of his career for a few years before he took a teaching position at UA.

Hero rankings are based on incidents resolved, and can be damaged by taking any amount of time off (such as when the Wild Wild Pussycats took, what? A couple of months off from hero-ing? and their ranking plummeted by several hundred places). Teaching is time consuming; it's the kind of job that often necessitates 'bringing work home' with you in the form of grading, lesson planning, etc. Obviously it would cut into Mic's focus on his hero work and his radio show, and obviously that would affect not only his actual ranking but how much attention his career/persona garnered. After all, there is an influx of new heroes every single year when hero courses across the country graduate. It takes work to stay relevant in this universe.

So now I'm thinking of like. Present Mic but with the level of fame/popularity of a celebrity who was big a handful of years ago, but you don't hear so much about anymore. Like, yeah, they're still active, and still have a (often very dedicated) fanbase, but they've kind of been shuffled out of the spotlight a little bit. This also makes his lackluster reception at the entrance exam so much funnier imo, because those students would have been like 8-9 when he stopped just doing hero/radio stuff and started teaching, but they're teenagers now and Present Mic is sooo not in anymore.

I'm probably late to this but my brain required me breaking my hand to showcase those idiots in love,, <3 /hj

[skyloftian-nutcase]

Oh hey look it's an AU of my AU because my brain won't shut up :D

Ganondorf dragged his feet, slowing his pace as he stared at the deli.

"No," Nabooru immediately cut in. "I know what you're thinking."

"I want some," he said simply, stubbornly, resolutely.

"You're not a child," Nabooru argued. "Have some blasted self control. It's not on the grocery list."

As the pair argued, Link wandered over, a box of goldfish in hand. Nabooru immediately raised an eyebrow at him.

"My budget," he reasoned with an innocent shrug.

Nabooru sighed. "Fine. Put it in."

"Oh, so he gets to grab anything he wants, but I can't?" Ganondorf grumbled.

Nabooru rolled her eyes. "He is paying for his own groceries. How old are you?"

As the two continued to bicker, Hemisi poked Link, motioning with her phone. "You've got to see this meme, it's hilarious."

Link peered over her shoulder, eyes curious as a smile pulled at his lips. Meanwhile, Ganondorf finally conceded, glaring into the void as they continued their trek beyond the beloved meat section.

When the family got home, Link helped Ganondorf unload the groceries, setting his own aside, while Hemisi and Nabooru greeted their poodle and made sure he had dinner. Eventually, everyone settled, with Ganondorf and Nabooru humming along with the radio while they meal prepped for the next day, and Hemisi and Link relaxing on the sofa together, both on their phones. Occasionally the teenagers exchanged memes and videos, giggling.

When the parents were finished, Ganondorf moved to dismiss Link for the night when he saw that both children had fallen asleep on th sofa. Hemisi was laying across it, her legs draped over Link's lap while he sat slumped on the corner, arms resting over her. Nabooru smiled at the pair as her husband sighed.

"The boy might as well move in," Ganondorf half joked. "He almost always falls asleep here."

"That's a dangerous idea having them actually live together while they're dating," Nabooru chuckled. "I can't watch them 24/7."

Ganondorf hummed in agreement, walking over and gently picking up his daughter. Yes, she was fifteen, but he didn't care - she would always be his little girl, and he was gentle enough that she didn't wake up. He tucked her in to her bed and watched her a moment, smiling.

Meanwhile, Nabooru grabbed a pillow and helped ease Link to lay down across the sofa, covering him with a heavy blanket and kissing him softly on the temple. "Rest well, baby."

The parents stayed awake a little while longer, chatting quietly at the table as they sipped some hot tea. When Link abruptly startled awake, falling off the sofa and nearly hitting his head on the side table near it, the pair rushed into the room to settle him. His nightmares weren't too frequent, but they came often enough that both were familiar with it.

"Link," Ganondorf said gently, grounding him as he gasped for air. "It's all right. Relax. You're safe."

Link stared at him, disoriented, and the man sighed, pulling the teenager into a hug. Eventually, he picked him up, settling on the recliner and letting Link rest on his lap. He yawned as he rubbed the boy's arm calmingly.

"Maybe he should move in," Nabooru said with a half smile as she threw the blanket over them both. "You gonna stay here for the night?"

Ganondorf grunted in the affirmative, and Nabooru's smile grew. "Perfect. That means I get the bed to myself. Come on, Ghirahim!"

Their poodle trotted happily after his mother as Ganondorf scowled, but he got over his grumpiness soon enough. The house grew still, and peace filled the air.

im curious. since tamn takes its characterizations from the life series in general, what would both of you do differently if secret life came out before tamn began? for plot structure, characterization and the like?

TAMN takes characterizations from the Life Series in general, yes. But it pays particular homage to Double Life (the cheating, the soulmate connection, the more jilted interactions Scarian have at certain points) so I don't think the way Grian and Scar acted would've changed much, if at all. We definitely would've have a lot more Secret Life references though! We love us some references, and it was a shame that we couldn't do any major nods to Secret Life just because of how things were timed and where we were at with our writing.

Now, plot structure wise, Lock and I have mentioned this before (not sure whether on AO3, or Tumblr, or the discord server) but we'd have written this fic VERY differently if we'd known so many people were going to read it HKFJSKKDHSJ 😂 That is to say, since it was our first fic in the Traffic Fandom (even including Hermitcraft) we didn't expect much attention at all and just... wrote the fic for each other LOL Which meant we had our cameos with KSQ and Pops because those were things WE wanted to see, whether or not anyone else was particularly into the crossover.

Limited Life, Secret Life, Real Life--when all of these came out, Lock and I had long since finished our major plot outline and the layout of our arcs, so while we could sneak in a couple references here or there maybe, we were at a real loss for including anything beyond that. The biggest loss was that we REALLY wanted to include Gem (to the point where we even considered making HER The Mosin "Man" for a bit before ultimately deciding we needed a true villain and it wouldn't make sense for her to be a part of Pops' story anyhow) but it was too late in the game to do so.

So to answer your question, while I don't think Lock and I regret writing the fic the way we did and we're very happy with it, we definitely would've put more of an effort to include Gem, Lizzie, and Mumbo with real speaking/plot heavy roles if we'd known they were going to come back in later seasons! (And then also worked in the remaining cast like Impulse, Skizz, Scott, etc.)

Overall, however, the main beats of the fic would've remained largely the same otherwise :3 🔑

[necrotic-nephilim]

your Kon post was sooooo good, like yes the core four are queer platonic, however Kon is hypersexual enough to have made out with (or more) everyone in young justice at least once, yes, including the non-corporal Greta don’t ask me how that worked

I love all of these posts!!! how many of these ask game things do you have in your inbox??

thank you so much!! and i ABSOLUTELY agree with you on hypersexual Kon (truly i just adore characters with grooming/rape trauma like Kon coping through the lense of hypersexuality) and even if YJ is queerplatonic, Kon has made his way through most of them. including Greta. he's creative he'd find a way. probably involving TTK. bc TTK in sex is a thought i have daily. endless potential for using it to basically turn someone's body into a living fleshlight he can manipulate from the inside out- specifically have a TimKonBart idea in my head about that where Kon coaches Bart through sex, since Bart is a speedster with a bonkers refractory period who struggles to feel satisfied, and Tim is caught between them getting used to get Bart off with Kon using TTK to manipulate Tim's body. fun times. fun ideas.

currently, i have one more ask game ask in my inbox (tho always feel free to send more!) that's BruJay focused. though i *do* also have a couple other asks that are just ideas i pan to use as prompts for full fics. just haven't gotten to those yet bc i'm currently busy with packing to move states so. i have *not* had the time to write i wish i had. i will not reveal too much but one involves JayTim fucking during the Titans Tower incident, another is JayTim with animal traits leading to porn, and then another is Tim/Kon/Jon with incest kink stuff. so! i have many things planned, i just need to settle into my new place, however long that takes.

[pastafossa]

hey pasta! I don’t know if someone has asked this already but is TRT gonna go into Born Again or end at season 3?

So that's where I'm not sure! The current outline is as such:

All Major Arcs (including Cyrus James/Project Beagle fallout arc and psychic abilities arcs): scheduled to wrap up a bit after the end of S3 so that Matt and Jane's arcs/development neatly dovetail together. This will mark the official end of TRT's main fic.

Special Additional Arcs (chaptered fics not attached to main fic but still TRT canon, taking place after end of main fic) in no particular order: Endgame/The Snap arc, Spider-Man: NWH arc, Spoiler Removed arc, tentative She Hulk Shenanigans arc.

Oneshot Arcs: various domestic fluff arcs, interactions with major MCU events, a 'What Their Life Is Like When Old Cause GD It They're Going To Live To Old Age And Will Have Rocking Chairs' arc, a SINGLE take it or leave it 'What If?' fic of something funny with a possible daughter cause damn I had this idea for a hilarious scene and it won't leave me alone

Now, those are what are planned in the outline, and the main event with Project Beagle tie-ins and plotlines and all of that is something I'm still planning to end just after S3 because I really do want to have a finish line for that, and I feel like dragging that all out for Born Again wouldn't work for the... events that are going to happen, without saying too much. Once that's wrapped up, that's when you're going to see TRT finally marked as 'complete' on AO3, though there'll be more fics set in that universe (see special additional arcs and oneshot arcs) that I'll mark as in the Devil and Hound series along with drabbles on tumblr.

Once we're past that official endpoint and those special arcs, though, things get fluid and murky since when I was outlining all the major plotlines, there was no Daredevil: Born Again, nor was Matt even in the MCU officially (which is why Spider-Man pops in way sooner in TRT than he meets Matt in the MCU) and I specifically set up Jane's plotline to bookend with Matt's so their growth twined together and they both finally found peace around the same time. Outside that, I'd planned some shorter chaptered stories in the series post-mainline TRT like the Snap arc that I may now adjust (since it sure is looking like Matt was left behind for the snap) but nothing on the level of TRT's main plotline which is absolutely massive and took me years to fully outline and construct before coming back from hiatus in 2021 and pumping out chapters (Happy six year anniversary to TRT on Sept 15!).

ALL THAT BEING SAID.

I do have plans to write stuff for TRT's take on Born Again because I'm 100% married to writing for Matt at this point and there's no possible way I won't want to do something once I'm being fed Charlie!Matt scenes again. I'm not sure what those plans are just yet - I kinda wanna wait and see what happens in Born Again in case it sparks something. But I also want to make sure that no matter what I do, there's some sort of strong original plotline so that, much like mainline TRT, we'll be able to weave in and out of canonical events (especially since things like the Snap or a wedding or Jane and Matt's friendship with Peter will alter canon). I don't think I'm going to do something quite as huge as TRT's main plotline again, mostly because it takes a TON of time and work, and I'm planning to take the original TRT elements and morph them into an original series fit for publishing (different enough that I can leave TRT up for everyone to read, cause at this point the fic's part of DD fandom culture and I have no plans to take that away) which will also take a ton of time. But I'm definitely rattling my brain around, looking at different plotlines I could do knowing what I know about the ending, hunting for loose ends or canonical threads that I can weave in with TRT's world and create something new!

Then again, I never would have said I'd make something as massive as TRT before I started, either, so who knows.

So in short: YES, there will be TRT events for Born Again even if it's not as elaborate as TRT! I just have no idea what those will be yet. Fortunately, TRT mainline's only a little over halfway done so I've got time to plan!

a headcanon that has been stirring in my brain for weeks is that din shows a LOT of emotions under his helmet because fuck you nobody can see it anyway so it doesn't affect his status as a cold-blooded bounty hunter

[linagram]

sorry everyone it's me. your boy. with another weird poll. just like most milgrammers i like polls a lot but i still have too many things to do for s3 so this is how i'm coping

out of all the linagram prisoners, which one do you think is most likely to die, not counting the possible punishments/executions (for example, maybe they end up getting killed by someone else, maybe they die by suicide or because of health issues, etc)? i can already say that no one is going to die until the end of season 3, but after that. well.
