GUYS WHO THE FUCK IS GYRO

[vialaviolenza]

𝑬𝑴𝑷𝑨𝑻𝑯𝑬𝑻𝑰𝑪 𝑺𝑬𝑵𝑻𝑬𝑵𝑪𝑬 𝑺𝑻𝑨𝑹𝑻𝑬𝑹𝑺▓ ❛If you need someone to talk to, I'll listen.❜ @parfumeuses

Baby blues can only glance at the stranger, a faint huff as he looks away, a bottle of bourbon in hand (where he got it. . that's anyone's guess). Gyro said he'd be back HOURS ago, and still no sign of him anywhere so Johnny decides to enjoy a 'drink' as he waits. Hours passed, and with them came self-doubt and deprecation as it often had. . .What if Gyro never came back? What if he was just holding him back?

❝ What's there to talk about ? ❞ Despite the guarded words he's obviously living in melancholy, bottle in lap as he sits in his wheelchair outside a saloon in some random town. ❝⸻and anyway, I highly doubt you want to listen to me complain. ❞ It's the nicest way he can phrase it to her, ❝ You go five feet that way, and you'll be around people with 'positive' energy. Promise you don't wanna talk to me. ❞ Johnny gestures back to the saloon before he glances down, the bottle lid returned and tightened as he waits for her to wander off.

[vialaviolenza]

Lips pull into a subtle frown, his head nodding in understanding, ❝ Don't sweat it. I appreciate you being kind and stopping. ❞ The innuendos are dropped out of interest in getting to town, after all, a nice bath and drink awaited him. Gyro clears his throat as he finally climbs to mount his horse and once settled his heels tap against Valkyrie to encourage her to trot up to the stranger. Reins are pulled to get her to stop a few feet away. The girl didn't look TOO dangerous, but he could attribute those thoughts to a lot of the racers, one could never be too sure.

❝ Follow you ? ❞ For a moment it seems like he's gonna dismiss the idea until he allows an airy chuckle to softly roll from his mouth, ❝ I think that's the best damn idea I've heard all day. And it's sure as hell is better than traveling in the wrong direction! Nyoo~ ❞ Lips curl and show off golden teeth with letters etched out that spell his name. Following seemed better than a rough map he figures, and hell. . .the sooner they got there the more likely he'd be able to meet up with Johnny (wherever the hell he went). ❝ About how many miles would you say?❞ Before she has a chance to speak up he rambles slightly as Valkyrie paws her hooves at the dirt. ❝ Damn. . .The only thing I can think about is a bath. . .but then there's food⸻hell. . .MAYBE I'll buy ya dinner for being so nice. Whadda ya think? A nice juicy steak is sure to put anyone in a good mood. ❞

Manon is going to pretend not to pick up on any innuendo and hope that he doesn’t make her regret looking out for another racer. She is, indeed, the sort of person who would buy an extra map ‘just in case’—

“I’m awfully sorry, but I only have the one.”

—if she hadn’t decided that replacing her broken comb was a better purchase the last time she went shopping. She could have gotten them both, but Manon gave herself a budget, and she’ll be damned if she blows through her unexpected winnings before this thing is even through. Still, she can’t help feeling abashed that she has nothing to offer because she wanted a new comb (which is ridiculous, of course, but that doesn’t stop her from wondering if any of the pieces of her old comb weren’t big enough to use.)

“But we’re not far from the next town. You could follow me—o-or I could draw a rough map?”

At first, Yuichi didn’t know why Leonardo was so annoyed about his family crashing their dates. The Hamato siblings were fun to be around and folded Yuichi into their shenanigans as though it cost them nothing to include him. And it was always worthwhile to see Leonardo in his natural habitat—those sweet and silly and childish sides of him that only came out of their shell at home—so he never minded when he drove down to the lair to visit Leonardo and their time together was never time alone together. 

Then Leonardo came over to Yuichi’s house to watch a movie and Yuichi’s cousins invited themselves into the den and each made it their life’s mission to make Yuichi wish he was an only child. Leonardo thought they were hilarious and encouraged their antics like the troublemaker he was but Yuichi firmly resolved to never laugh at him for complaining about his brothers ever again. 

“We should go out sometime,” Yuichi said pointedly, staring very hard at the unrepentant little fluffy faces peeking at him from the porch windows. “We could get dinner. Or go skating. Or vandalize public property. I’m not picky.”

“Or all of the above!” Leonardo chimed brightly, the blue light of a portal flickering playfully behind him. He squeezed Yuichi’s hands and added, “I like the way you think, Snowball. Let me know when you’re off work on Friday and I’ll come steal you from tío.” 

He leaned in like he was thinking about going for a kiss, then seemed to remember they had an audience and backed off again with a nervous giggle. 

Goddammit, Yuichi thought with feeling. The constant scrutiny was actually ruining his entire life. 

So that’s how they end up here; Yuichi has his bike helmet tucked under one arm, watching with amusement as his boyfriend stands in front of his assembled family and lays down the law. 

“One last time: what are you not going to do,” Leonardo says in a no-nonsense tone, arms folded across his plastron, borrowed purple bomber jacket glittering where the living room lights hit the sequins. He’s unfairly cute. 

“Stalk, supervise or spy,” his siblings recite with varying levels of agreeableness. 

“And what will happen if I catch any of you doing any of those things?”

“You’ll portal our favorite belongings into the ocean.”

“And I will catch you,” Leonardo adds dangerously. “My phone is on, I’m sharing my location, I’ll be with Yui the entire time, and we probably won’t do anything crazier than trying that new Greek restaurant on 9th Ave.”

“You’d try Gyros Stop without us?” Michelangelo demands with a look of absolute betrayal and wet, shiny eyes. Yuichi honestly can’t tell if he’s kidding or not, but Leonardo is completely unmoved.

“Pushing your luck, Miguel. I’ll bring back baklava.”

The crocodile tears dry right up. One camera shutter sound later, Leonardo is staring at Casey and Casey is staring at the floor, new phone clutched guiltily to his chest. 

“I promised April I’d get a picture,” he whispers.

“If you go into the settings you can turn the sound effect off for next time,” Donnie says, leaning over his nephew’s shoulder.

“Next time?” Leonardo all but shrieks.

“Hey, so you two should get going, huh?” Raphael interjects quickly—probably because he can sense the situation rapidly deteriorating by the second. “Have a good time! Tell Raph all about it later!”

Yuichi and Leonardo finally make it past the turnstiles with only a few more dramatics for the road, hopping down into the tunnel where Yuichi’s bike is waiting while Splinter’s pointed reminder of the curfew for little turtles echoes boomingly around them. 

Said little turtle looks seconds away from dying of mortification and busies himself with shoving his helmet on and pretending his father isn’t still talking about what he’ll do if ‘my Baby Blue comes home with even a single scratch!’

“Get me out of here before I do something drastic,” Leonardo grits out. 

Yuichi pulls his own helmet on and slings a leg over his bike. He twists around and pats the seat behind him, smiling. 

“I’ll go real fast, Stripes. Just hang on tight.”

He knows for a fact that the Hamato brothers have motorcycles that Donatello built from the ground up, and that even little Michelangelo can outdrive people three times his age. And Yuichi has floated the idea of Leonardo coming down to the Hidden City on one of the shell hogs so they could have a drag race with Kitsune and Chizu, which Leonardo agreed instantly was the best idea he’d ever had. 

But for now it makes sense to share Yuichi’s bike. It's date night! And it feels like Yuichi is literally the king of the entire universe when Leonardo wraps his arms snug around Yuichi’s middle and props his chin on Yuichi’s shoulder, knocking their helmets together playfully. 

There’s another camera shutter sound behind them, and Leonardo whips around like he’s going to surrender to the Cain Instinct once and for all. Biting back a bark of laughter, Yuichi revs the engine really loud and takes off. 

It’s late and the sky is overcast, which means that when they turn onto the street from the underground it’s to a smear of headlights and bright neon signs and glowing storefront windows.   

None of the Hamatos seem particularly interested in Cloaking Brooches, beyond the single time Yuichi heard them curiously pondering what their human forms would look like while they were waiting on the popcorn in the microwave. Brooches aren’t particularly hard to come by, and Yuichi knows for a fact that there are a bunch in a drawer at home somewhere, but when he offered to bring over a few, he got a round of “nahh”s.

“Embrace the turtle, baby,” cheerful Michelangelo piped up.  

“Maybe pops would want one,” Raphael added thoughtfully. “We’ll have to ask.”

“It’s New York,” Donatello explained, since Yuichi probably looked as confused as he felt. “No one pays attention to anybody else. At best, the humans won’t even notice we look weird because they’ve got their own stuff going on. At worst, they will notice and automatically assume we’re in costume and not care why. What a town.”

So when they pull into a drive thru for smoothies, Leonardo just says, “Leave your helmet on, they won’t say anything,” proving it when he leans over to pay for their drinks with his phone and his sleeve rides up past his wrist. The teenage cashier clocks his green skin, visibly decides she’s not paid enough to care, and smiles at them brightly when Leonardo tips 25%. 

The Hamatos have lived in—or beneath—Midtown their entire lives, so Yuichi is comfortable deferring to their experience. He doesn’t think he’ll tell Auntie, though. 

They wind up at a little park with a wooded waterfront area, almost entirely empty due to the threat of rain. There’s one dim, buzzing streetlight that offers a warm orange glow against the tree coverage and overcast sky, so the two of them gravitate that way. 

Yuichi can see a few other people on the walk path, all the way down at the other side of the park, looking as though they’re making their way out.  

“There’s so many people in every corner of this town but you still manage to find little pockets like this where nobody’s around,” Yuichi says. “It seems impossible.”

“The Hidden City is like that, too,” Leonardo says, hopping up to sit on the railing that separates the greenery from the water. “Every time you take me to one of your secret hangout spots I’m like, ‘Wait, there’s a billion yokai half a street over, how is it just the two of us here?’” 

Yuichi laughs and says, “That’s fair. Did you get pineapple-banana this time? Let me try.”

“You gotta branch away from strawberries and cream, there’s a whole world out there,” Leonardo complains, but gamely switches smoothies anyway. 

Hanging out just the two of them takes much the same shape as it does when they hang out at the farm or the lair. They talk and watch videos on their phones and recreate TikTok dances they’ll never post but save anyway. The only big differences are the ambient noises of the city—traffic and sirens and music and humanity—and the lights on the water behind Leonardo that frame him like a movie scene. 

And also that there’s no nosy siblings to get in the way when Yuichi leans in for a kiss. He does exactly that, mirroring Leonardo’s smile, when suddenly his boyfriend’s gaze cuts to something over his shoulder and he goes through the five stages of grief in rapid-fire. 

“Pizza Supreme,” the slider mutters, letting his forehead bump against Yuichi’s in defeat. “Gram-gram’s laughing at me, I know she is. I mean it’s free entertainment at this point.”

“What?” Yuichi says, turning around. “What did you see?”

“My all-time least favorite B-list bad guys, probably up to their same old stupid tricks.” Leonardo puts his hands on Yuichi’s shoulders to guide him out of the way as he hops down from the railing. His attitude has cooled slightly, a gleam entering his eyes that wouldn’t look out of place in Donatello’s. Which definitely means trouble. “Hey, morons!” he calls. “Stop trying to out-ninja me, I’m so far out of your league it’s actually insane!”

There’s a beat of silence, less than a handful of seconds, and then a dozen humans in dark clothing reveal themselves. Yuichi spends a lot of time with a ninja clan these days and still finds it a little unnerving the way they can spill out of the shadows soundlessly. Even Leonardo and his siblings, with all their bright colors and larger-than-life personalities, can disappear into thin air like it’s nothing. 

These ninja wear hooded cowls with a burnt orange emblem that give away exactly who they are.

Yuichi’s hand goes to Edgewing, belted at his hip. He knows exactly who to blame for the Krang invading New York City—and ultimately for the battle scars Leonardo and his brothers all bear as a result. He only has to take one look at the healed gashes that stand out stark white against the pretty blue of Leonardo’s carapace and it’s enough to make him want to start breaking faces with an eagerness Karasu-Tengu-sensei would disapprove of. 

“Can we please just cut to the chase here?” Leonardo says, hands on his hips. “I’m a busy guy, and frankly, you picked the wrong night.”

At the beginning of the evening, the only solid plans on Yuichi’s itinerary had been dinner and driving around really fast to hear Leonardo whoop in his ear and maybe going to that drive-in movie theater in Brooklyn the turtles loved because it was screening the original Jurassic Park trilogy this weekend and Yuichi had only seen the first one. 

Maybe he should have been surprised to end up engaged in a sword fight with his boyfriend’s hereditary enemy in a cute postal-stamp sized park in Manhattan, but he’s not, really. Part of running with the Hamato clan is learning really early on how to roll with the punches. 

And—he’s taking some mean glee in this. Sue him. When he slams the hilt of Edgewing into a cowled face and hears the crunch of cartilage he goes, “Ha,” under his breath, and only feels guilty for a second about what sensei would have to say about it. 

“Aren’t you guys embarrassed?” Leonardo calls out to the gaggle of Foot ninja he’s fighting, sounding more annoyed than anything else. “All of your overlords either leave you for dead or sick a squishy pink brain parasite on you.” He glances at Yuichi and adds, as if he had somehow missed the entire alien invasion earlier in the year and this was his first time hearing about it, “It was a whole thing.”

“You know, I do have the Internet.”

“You have dial-up. I didn’t even know what that was until Donnie Googled it.”

If Yuichi wasn’t already in love with this guy for an embarrassing number of reasons, watching him fight five to one without breaking a sweat definitely would have helped him get there. He doesn’t even need the edge his ninpo gives him; fighting an enemy like the Krang kind of makes everything else seem like small fish in comparison. 

By the time the last ninja has crumpled bonelessly to the ground, Yuichi’s muscles are burning in that pleasant post-workout way. And his mind is completely free of everything except a giddy runner’s high. So when Leonardo tilts a smile at him, already reaching for his abandoned smoothie, Yuichi doesn’t think. 

He just closes those four steps between them, takes Leonardo’s face in both hands, and kisses him. 

It’s perfect, obviously. Even with the sound of a nearby eavesdropper squeaking and then being soundly muffled. 

“Okay,” Leonardo says very calmly, and disappears in a flash of cyan. 

Somewhere in the wooded part of the park, there’s multiple shrieks and the sound of Raphael pleading, “No listen, we weren’t spying I swear we were, uh, we were—” 

“Geocaching,” Donatello fumbles, “what an insane coincidence that it took us here, he lied convincingly. Nardo, you know how susceptible I am to both peer pressure and FOMO—”

“You guys are so cute!” Michelangelo chirps enthusiastically. “Ow! And totally a power couple, you should see the pictures we—Lee, ow, ow, okay, I’m sorry I’m sorry—”

Yuichi sighs, and looks down at the Foot ninja beginning to stir weakly on the ground nearby. 

“I’m so lucky,” he confides in them, the truth of it a warm little star in his heart, and then slides out his phone. 

Donatello added him to the Hamato family plan ages ago, which means he gets service everywhere and data speeds he didn’t even know were possible. Yuichi finds Gyro Stop on GrubHub and places a pick-up order for enough spanakopita and baklava to feed however many of Leonardo’s siblings he decides to leave alive.

[Review] Sonic Lost World (3DS)

The better Lost World?!

Dimps made some of my favourite Sonic games: Advance 2, Rush, Rush Adventure, Generations 3DS... not only have I now played them all, their handheld companion version of Lost World is the final Sonic game they've developed. And they went out swinging, because this dinky SD game shows up Sonic Team's console effort in many ways.

As with Unleashed, this version shares much with the higher-spec console game: the soundtrack, visual design, cutscenes (albeit crunched to 240p, and some have been removed). Broadly speaking the concepts are carried over as well, but a shift in focus and some gameplay tweaks make this a more playable and enjoyable experience.

For a start, there’s still a run button but Sonic runs faster by default and conserves more momentum. The homing attack is streamlined: back on the jump button where it belongs, and the kick is replaced by an arc projectile with a more clear situational use against strong enemies. Wallrunning and climbing are more useful and easier to maintain due to a mechanic that lets you extend them with a spin. The spin dash has slightly more use too but that’s more down to level design, which I also find more engaging.

Compared to the Wii U version, this game is more like a puzzle platformer. There’s still plenty of running fast and the platforming is challenging and involved, but they pack in a lot more interaction in these dense levels. Elemental shields are now given in levels rather than through the inventory system, and used to open alternate paths by protecting you from hazards. Wisps are also utilised better (including a few exclusive to this version) with some extended sequences that require and explore their powers.

Even the helper feature is implemented better here. Instead of simply whisking you ahead in the level, dying a few too many times offers you a relevant power-up like one that auto-attacks enemies, makes you intangible to damage, or gives you higher and floatier jumps. This version also actually has special stages which give a motivation for grabbing and hanging onto rings until the level’s end. They play out with Sonic flying in 3D space and are very gyro-heavy which was troublesome and made me dizzy at times but they’re a nice novelty.

I do have issues with some other choices. Taking a page from Colours, Wisps are now unlockable and so some can’t be used on your first run through a level. Gyro is now non-optional for some sequences including certain boss fights and Wisp powers. There’s also a tacked on crafting system where Tails can make you items from materials gathered by playing levels, but it’s entirely ignorable. The Streetpass feature sort of plays into this; people send you their best runs of individual levels (which you are now ranked for) and you have to beat them for the reward of more materials. Having cut the side missions and minigames I found I didn’t miss them but these replacements aren’t much better.

Although the Zeti remain boring, with lazy and stupid designs, they at least have slightly less of a presence here. On Wii U they would talk at you sometimes during gameplay, displaying more of their shallow and broad “personalities”, and have two boss fights tacked onto levels per world. Here not only are their fights improved but they’re relegated to a boss fight act. This means there’s fewer levels overall but it’s worth the compromise. The final lava world is also nothing but a boss rush, a slightly underwhelming change although I suppose it gives a more climactic feel.

With Unleashed and again here, I’m glad my completionist tendencies prompted a look at these alternate versions because in both cases I prefer them to the leading HD iteration! Dimps did a great job especially considering the 3DS’s weaker hardware necessitated cutbacks on the scope. In fact that just makes Lost World 3DS more focused and streamlined, on top of the improved controls and puzzley tendencies. They even did the gravity gimmick better here, I reckon! I hope Dimps gets another chance with Sonic at some point but if not they at least have a strong legacy, and this is a fine way to cap it off.

[heksen-sabbat]

I see u tag a lot of ocs tags👀 id love to hear more abt them can you tell please??!?

!!! sure, i can try to! there's too much information to tell in one post, so my explanations will sound very bad probably, but i'll try to summarise where it's relevant to the kind of things i tag them in

ouu sorry in advance

the main ones i tag are the two ⁎rotterdam wizards⁎ gauricus and steentje (they just happen to live in rotterdam at the same time)

gauricus (gender androgyne, any pronouns but it depends on context) is a young man who has been around for a long time, he was born during ww2 in a small rural village which was insular and very religious. for this reason (and he's a big fan of historical texts) he talks very old-fashioned, so i tag him in things that remind me of how he talks

he was convinced as a child that he was condemned to belong to hell, so years later after he left home and happened to become associated with secret members of a cult who love communing with demons and hoping for armageddon to happen so that the world will be left for sinners to rule, he thought that sounds great! and he should join them!

he becomes one of their top 3 members because he's very passionate about it, and he partakes in a ritual which kills him and loses him his soul but he gets a fragment of demon to replace it so once he comes back to life he can do Unlimited Black Magic (it has a limit… it's just a lot easier for him to do magic than someone who learnt it the proper ways)

his area of magic is transmutation, so he shapes materials into different things. he uses this to create homunculi of himself that he buries in the ground, and if he gets killed, his spirit will inhabit one of them and emerge out of the ground and he continues as normal. he wants to live to see the end of the world, after all! he never ages older than mid 20s because he's in love with himself and doesn't want to change. except his sex he changes that sometimes

he likes to be very nice to people, enormous fan of nature (particularly the moon) and philosophy and religion, but he can also be really scary because he messes with people's lives as a pastime

he's my most developed oc ever i write essays about a bunch of stuff i'm not touching on here😑😑😑 BOOO onto one who's not a freak 💯

steentje tellen (dutch for "stone counting" which is a phrase about people who walk slowly because they're looking at the ground) is the alias of yenthe, who is a modern folk healer burnt out at the ripe old age of 24. she is a part of the gabber subculture, she exclusively enjoys hardcore music and makes some too. antisocial unemployed urban loiterer, you understand

for no particular reason she has a lifelong conviction to help people who are injured physically or mentally; she learned some white magic from two women in her childhood apartment (#community). seeing so many injuries has been very taxing on her young life, though, and she has worked out an extreme dependency on cigarettes and energy drinks to keep her functioning. and maybe like a big gyro

her magic use blends in very well with the world because it usually just looks like she's preparing to smoke something, using different plants she grew to have different properties. also has cool hand tattoos to help her. and the benefit to being a healer is she barely has to look after herself because if her body gets any problems she can just cure it. she will not get lung cancer <- manifestation (the downside: she barely looks after herself)

gender She Doesn't Think About It only that she likes to be called mister instead of miss, but for everything else she doesn't care. it will get bad if she introspects for too long about anything so she Does Not! hostile about any level of intimacy unless she's high, too much of a toughguy to talk much unless it's insults

[raisinchallah]

sorry guys still really thinking about the fujoshi vs hirohiko araki tete a tete where she keeps coming up with more insane and dastardly concepts of jojo yaoi and hes like hmm idk about that most fascinating point in the conversation was when they both agreed that johnny and gyro were actually the least yaoifiable of the main jojo duos because they are slightly more developed characters and clearly very close to each other so it makes it somehow harder to imagine yaoi there because you know how they care about each other and u see too much downtime to imagine a secret yaoi lifestyle inserted between scenes perhaps tied to her later point where she says that manga like bleach?? that are made with an eye to the doujin market and community people who write with the awareness of yaoi lose the central heart and spirit of the classic shounens and it breaks what makes them so yaoifiable in the first place because there is an awareness that i guess to this woman its actually the raw material to bend and mold thats important and one cant just eat up the slop the mangaka serves you because the story is about their relationship thats like the easy way out and without strife one cannot appreciate anything they have which ok fascinating fujoshi thesis statement but then actual funniest part of the interview was araki flipping between claiming he had no idea anyone could interpret anything he was writing thru a yaoi lens and saying things like italian fashion is inherently gay.. or dio is tom ripley and other things that betray a level of knowledge of the matters that keeps catching the fujoshi off guard truly a game of wits rarely seen before.. and then to wrap it up the editor is like as a moderating voice on the yaoi debate is like i actually believe that yaoi is the most interesting lens with which to view shounen battle slop and the only way to elevate such works to unique art

Can u write a fanfic story about penumbra from ducktales 2017 where she’s shrunk tiny permanently and can’t return to her normal size and has to live the rest of her life as a tiny moon warrior that’s from the planet moon and now she lives on earth and webby and Della duck take good care of her

Tiny but Mighty

Della latched onto Webby's chagrined expression the moment the adventure party walked through the door. Her boys, and even Scrooge, who was holding the prized artifact they set out for in his hand, all wore similar looks of suspicious nervousness.

Before Della could even ask what was up, or question where the sixth member of their party, her girlfriend, was, the answer to both came in the form of Webby pulling out her hands from behind her back to reveal something that had Della questioning if she was actually awake.

It was Penumbra, standing defiantly in Webby's palm, no taller than five inches.

A second passed, and then--

"Oh my goddess!" Della started laughing incredulously, unable to contain her amusement. "You're so small!"

As everyone else released the tension they were holding over her reaction, Penumbra started to shout angrily up at her, but it came out as tiny squeaking instead.

"What was that? I can't hear you?" Della half-mocked, holding a hand up to her ear.

Huey dragged a hand down his face and stepped closer. "There were these crystals on the adventure-"

"And they shrunk my phone!" Louie interjected.

"-and apparently any light that passes through them shrinks any object, or being, in their path," Huey finished, side-eyeing his brother before continuing. "We stopped at the lab on the way home and got some modified versions of Gyro's Micro-Phone, so as long as you're wearing this behind your ear, you'll be able to hear Penumbra."

Della took the little chip from her son's hand and studied it, before attaching it behind her ear. She smiled and looked at her girlfriend again. "Hey, Penny!"

"Hello, Della," Penumbra answered in a flat tone. She'd been through enough soundchecks already in the past hour.

Satisfied enough, Della turned back to the rest. "Sooo...how long is this gonna last?" They'd all been on their fair share of adventures with...interesting...side effects, but they usually wore off within a couple days, a week tops.

"We...don't know," Scrooge answered. He started to walk past everyone into the mansion proper, eager to study his artifact now that the big reveal had come to pass.

"The Micro-Phone's 'grow' feature is ineffective against the crystal, so Gyro's working on a solution with a sample of crystal we brought him, and I'm going to try to find something on my own here." Huey held up a small cinched bag, presumably containing more of the crystal. "Come on, guys!" he beckoned to his brothers.

"Wait, what? We didn't sign up for nerd time!" Dewey yelled, following all the same along with Louie.

Once the boys were gone, Della turned to the girls in front of her, and smiled the most mischievous smile she ever did.

"So, Penny..."

"Don't you DARE!" Penumbra shouted up at her, ready to fight even in her shrunken state.

"I guess you could say you're...penny-sized now?" she taunted with a wave of finger guns.

Penumbra groaned while Webby rolled her eyes lovingly. The young duck spoke up. "I figured while the boys are studying the crystal, we could keep an eye on Penny, maybe get her some bites of food. She hasn't had anything besides a few drops of water since...the incident."

Della snickered and stepped to Webby's side so they could walk to the kitchen together. "Sure. She's probably worked up an appetite being so adorably cute-"

"Shut UP! And I'm right here. You don't have to talk like I'm not in the room." Penumbra crossed her arms.

"Sorry. So, what are you hungry for? A chocolate chip? A gummy bear? A cheerio?"

Instead of being offended once again, Penumbra mumbled something off to the side.

"Sorry, what was that? You're so small-"

"I SAID...I want a hamburger."

That got Della to settle down a bit, as she knew hamburgers were her girlfriend's comfort food. Webby also knew this, and immediately perked up. "Yeah! Ooh! I can call Launchpad and have him bring over some Hamburger Hippo!"

"Yes, please bring more people into this," Penumbra quipped.

They reached the kitchen and Webby carefully placed the tiny moon warrior on the counter before backflipping out of the room to go call Launchpad, leaving Della with what she wanted: a defenseless target.

"Della-" Penumbra started once again, trying to cut off her girlfriend before she could get on a roll.

"So, the moon's greatest warrior, huh?" Della smirked. She leaned down on her forearms to be eye-level with the Moonlander.

Penumbra glared. "I'm STILL the great Planet Moon's mightiest warrior, and I'll prove it!" She pivoted on her heel and started running around the kitchen island, trying to find a useful weapon.

"Mighty, but tiny! Oh! You're the textbook definition of 'tiny but mighty!' Aww!"

"I AM mighty, and I just so happen to be...very short. For now."

"Mhmm," Della humored her, and leaned one hand against her cheek, waving the other about as she talked. "Well, I guess it fits, since the moon is small, and now you're small. Oh! You could use the moon scorpion as a steed now!"

As Della kept laughing and making her jokes, Penumbra finally found a suitable weapon. She hefted it up, finding it to be adequate, and charged towards Della's exposed elbow, letting out a Mighty Moon Warrior yell right before impact.

"OW!" Della jumped up from her position and grabbed her elbow, grateful she was wearing long sleeves but still feeling an intense pinprick of pain. "Did you just stab me?!"

She looked down to see Penumbra twirling her weapon then lofting it before her at her tormentor. It was a toothpick.

"I did! For that's what you get when you mess with the Planet Moon's Finest Warrior!" Penumbra declared.

Any pain Della was still feeling melted into a bubble of laughter that she uselessly tried to contain. "Aww! Look at your little spear!"

Penumbra was starting to resemble a purple pickle of outrage at that, but as the memory of Della saying that before long ago on the moon, when she actually considered her an enemy, came to her, all the fight seeped out of her, and a laugh overtook her as well. It was just such a ridiculous situation, how could she not?

Della lit up when she saw that Penumbra was finally letting loose, and took that as an opportunity to lean in closer. "Hey, do you want to play a small prank on Webby when she comes back?" she whispered, which still sounded like a normal volume to Penumbra.

The Moonlander eyed the duck curiously. "What do you have in mind?"

Within a minute, Penumbra was tucked cozily into Della's shirt pocket, trying to keep quiet as Webby entered the kitchen with the promise of burgers on the way, only to be very confused when she couldn't see Penumbra anywhere.

Maybe being tiny wasn't so bad, at least for now.

Could we get letters C, K and M with Gyro please ? 👉🏻👈🏻🫶🏻 Thank you so much!!

DIRTY GYRO ZEPPELI HEADCANONS PART 3.

✰ masochism, crying, kissing.

MINORS DNI (18+) warnings: masochist gyro? whaaaat? crying/dacryphilia. oral. penetration. spanking. scratching. biting. smooching. praise if u squint. wc: ~350 note: forgive me anon for i have sinned. this has been in my inbox since like beginning of february. dirty a-z headcanon list (requests closed!)

C - Crying (is it a turn on? a turn off? do they cry during sex? have they cried during sex? what was the reason?) 

he doesn't need to see you cry, he doesn't try to make you cry, but he's sure as fuck not complaining if you do. especially if your sobs are broken up by moans. he thinks your fucked-out face looks so pretty when its wet and tear-stained. he'd kiss your tears away and whisper about how good you're taking him before he starts fucking you harder <3

K - Kissing (what parts of their body do they like having kissed? what parts of their partner do they enjoy kissing? do they like leaving marks / having marks left on them?) 

he greets you with a kiss on the lips. he's always shamelessly kissing you on the lips. doesn't matter where you are or who you're in front of. he likes when you to kiss his tip before you blow him. <3 bite on his lower lip when you're making out. it drives him nuts.

M - Masochism (do they like pain? scratching? biting? being bossed around? spoken down to? choked?) 

choke him out while you ride his cock. spank him til he's begging you to stop. pain isn't really something he seeks out when he's having sex, but he can't deny that it enhances the experience for him. he'd be a little embarrassed by that fact at first, but unfortunately for Gyro, he thinks with his dick -- as soon as he realizes all the scratching down is back and the hands around his neck is just making him throb harder, he'll lean into it. imagine him gritting his teeth and wheezing out moans while you're grinding down on his cock. he'd have a dirty smirk on his face the whole time, acting like he can take more. imagine spanking him over and over while he's on all fours in bed. he's got his cock in his fist while you paddle his ass and watch him turn into a slobbering mess, shaking and whining cause he's so damn close to cumming. he can be a little bitch if you know how to turn him into one &lt;3

Hair Stylist - Gyro Zeppeli

notes - I have really been missing SBR and my Italian cowboy, so I RUSHED over to my pending requests and literally SEARCHED for this one. It's one of my fav requests and I was so happy to do it for you. I can only imagine how soft this man's hair is, but even so, I'm really happy I wrote this. Thanks for the request! ilysm stay super hydrated!! <333

word count - 367

"What are you doing back there?" Gyro asked for the fifth time, trying to turn around, but you grabbed his hair tighter to stop him from doing it. "Ow! Hey! Just tell me!"

"Stop moving or you'll ruin it!" you told him, starting another braid on the back of his head.

"Ruin what?!"

"You'll get mad if I say it. And I'm already too far."

"I won't get mad, I swear. Just tell me or I'm gonna get even more mad."

You sighed and finished the braid on his head before grabbing a nearby mirror to show him the curls and braids you put in his hair.

Gyro grabbed the mirror from you, his face in complete shock and he touched every part of his hair that you did up even finding some colorful hair ties and even beads braided in.

"Don't be mad." you said, hiding behind a pillow from the couch.

Gyro stared at himself for a bit longer, feeling the soft curls again and again. You peeked out from behind the pillow to find him in awe and didn't know what to say.

"Gyro I-"

"Well, are you gonna finish the job?" he asked, sitting in an angle where you could continue and handing you a brush.

Now you were the one in shock. "Y-You want me to do your hair?"

He just nodded, knowing that he was blushing. He would've never let anyone do this EVER, but knowing that he wasn't going to be leaving the house anytime soon and knowing that you would be the only one to see this was fine with him.

So quickly, you got back to work, tying his hair up and curling it. It didn't take you long to finish the job, which was nice.

"There, done." You showed Gyro his reflection again and he laughed.

"I look like a little girl." he said, playing with the little beads tied into his hair.

"Is it bad?"

"No. It's fun. I like it."

You smiled to yourself and hugged around the back of Gyro's chest. "You have really soft hair."

"Do I?"

You just nodded and pressed a kiss onto his back.

"We should do this again sometime."

Hi Tia how r u doing. I have a long ass drive today that I'm not looking forward to... tell me about your jojos

yayyy gonna talk about hot pants because she's been on my mind lately. first of all yeah her name is hot pants from the james brown song it's deeply unserious but also I kinda respect it like she chose it herself as an alias and you gotta be a certain type of person to pull off being called hot pants. i have my own theories as to what her actual name is (helena pucci you are so dear to me) but she's only ever referred to as hot pants in canon.

so the whole plot of part 7 is that there's a load of people doing a pan continental horse race from san diego to new york in 1890 and along the way the main characters find part of a corpse and it gives them stands basically and so we have four or five groups trying to find all these corpse parts for their own goals johnny the main character is trying to find them because he thinks the corpse could help him regain the ability to walk after he was injured pre canon the president wants it because he sucks and loves america and jesus (the corpse is jesus btw) and thinks all these other backwards nations don't deserve the corpse of jesus christ diego is going after it for shits and giggles tbh hes vaguely working for the president but tbh hes just here to get paid

and hot pants she's a nun of the vatican and she's here on behalf of the vatican to find the corpse and take it back to the pope where it belongs I guess. except she's actually trying to get it because she's desperate for salvation and she thinks the corpse will save her from her sins

what sins, you may be asking. well when she was younger she and her little brother were in the woods for whatever reason I think they were picking berries idk and they were attacked by a bear and she survived and her brother didn't. she says that she killed him she pushed him towards the bear in order to escape herself but it's unclear how much of her own recollection of stuff is clouded by self hatred and time she's at least ten years older now than she was then probably more tbh . I imagine it was something like they were running and got separated and he fell behind and she couldn't go back for him or she would've died too she turned back and saw the bear kill him and had to just keep running despite his screams or something like that idk you could extrapolate a lot from here but I don't think she deliberately killed him I think that's something she's internalised and can't move on from. so she returns home and everyone is really sympathetic about the accident and the loss of her brother but because she blames herself so heavily she can't bring herself to be around all these people who love her she feels she doesn't deserve it and so she becomes a nun to get away from her family and try to atone for her sins. at some point she ends up moving to the vatican and then joins the race (at 23!!! she should be at the club!!)

so yeah shes in the race and she's a pretty important supporting character in her first appearance she rides up to johnny and gyro and is like hi im gonna fucking kill you because you killed my cow. she had a cow I guess . I don't really know why. yeah they didn't kill her cow but she's violence first questions later type of guy and so she does nearly kill them with her stand which is uhh. it's an aerosol and it shoots flesh out 👍 she does some pretty cool stuff with it tbh but that's not the point here anyway gyro thinks she's a man at this point which good for her I respect the gender game she's playing. anyway then the three of them get stuck in a timeloop and she passed out and johnny is like omg she's a woman that's cool and doesn't tell gyro because gyro hates women and johnny is the world's first feminist and them they steal her sandwiches and leave. thinking about this arc I missed out a lot because its mostly a gyro arc hp is just there it's her first appearance but she doesn't do that much

she shows up again later when the two of them are like 30 seconds away from death fixes them up with her flesh spray and steals all the corpse parts they had collected by this point she does some more stuff etc implicates herself so now she's wanted by the government and then my fav arc begins it's mostly about johnny and it's brilliant but hp is also here. they end up at a church and hp is there but she's in her nun clothes idr what it's called and gyro doesn't recognise her because he's incapable of being normal about women and he just fucks off to do whatever meanwhile johnny is talking to her and there's this scene which im soooooooooooooo obsessed with

in my beautiful world they fall in love post canon but . well. I'll get to that later and she doesn't answer him she says they're all about to die she's being taken over by this stand ability called civil war which is really really interesting it's basically like. anything the person it's targeting feels grief over comes back to haunt them and idrk how to explain what that's like ill just show u but it's pretty on the nose symbolism about hps whole character and offers pretty interesting insights onto johnny and gyro too

actually forget that im gonna talk about her and johnny they make me sick and somehow no one else sees how good their relationship is. they're really similar they both blame themselves for the deaths of their brothers but while hps family loved her so much she couldn't bear it and ran away johnnys dad said to his face yeah the wrong son died which is like. insane. hello. to your son's face. anyway they're both driven by this desire for something to save them it's like uh yk that post that goes "I hope one day they do a test on me and find out im deficient in some type of vitamin and I'm put on vitamin supplements and that solves every problem ive ever had" it's like that they want this corpse to save them but it CANT because nothing can save them but themselves johnny thinks if he's able to walk again his life will go back to how it was and a) it won't because this journey has irreparably changed him and b) he cant regain the ability to walk he can't and the problem is he can't accept that he's driven by this faith in something that can't save him and the same for hot pants she thinks of she can find the corpse it will save her from her sins but she has to be the one to move past her sins no one else can heal her theres not a switch that when flipped will fix her

she will always carry this grief with her always always and she has to learn to live with that but she's so deep in her own self loathing that all she's thought about in years is how she's a sinner in need of a saviour she has to be her own saviour she has to move on and she CANT she's been static all these years the grief is as raw as it was ten years ago arfghghhlgkfgkaglalgw however unfortunately for us all araki is incapable of writing a good ending to her (and johnnys) arcs because he regains the ability to walk magically thanks to the corpse of jesus christ and she dies in pursuit of salvation which is pointless because thats what she WANTS!!!!!

she'd rather die a martyr than live a sinner and by killing her off (pointlessly and pretty much off screen. Btw ) it ruins what her whole arc was building up toooooo god I'm so mad about this. it's fine in my beautiful world she survives and reunites with johnny after the events of canon and they travel to italy together and johnny is still disabled and they get close and grow as people and he becomes the first person she's let herself really be close to and they Get eachother and have a level of mutual respect from when they first meet and every subsequent meeting adds to that and they need another slower journey where they're not fighting for their lives all the time to address what they've been through and who they are and who they will be aghhjhj this needs to be a longfic so bad if I wasn't the worlds slowest and least motivated writer

I was gonna talk about the rest of civil war arc and her relationship with diego but it's 11:30 pm I have work in the morning and I've talked more than enough goodbye I hope this was understandable

[prettykikimora]

The thing I miss abt chi was the gyro plates yu could get on every corner. I jsut made one at home n it made me Hella nostalgic. Have U had one yet?

Blathering blatherskite means WHAT?!

OMG, duckblr. I just found out something hilarious and I cannot let it go unnoticed.

Although I'm from Mexico and spanish it's my mother tongue, I don't have the habit of watching my cartoon or tv shows or movies in Spanish, except..., when I'm searching for a specific translation of words o phrases. Only then I switch the language in the Disney + app from english to spanish (latin american).

Just a moment ago, I was searching for the translation of "worry room" in the chapter La gran bomba from Ducktales 87 (S2E19), an it was "Cuarto pensadero", which, for my taste, sound lame, but... meh.

Anyways, cuz I enjoy this chapter (cuz Gizmoduck it's in it) i continue to watching it with out swiching back to english and... OMG. I didn't know that they (the translators) translate the famous secret words for the gizmosuit "blathering blatherskite" as "Por las plumas de mi abuelo!! (min 20:02)"

I'm in shock xD I can't express how hilarious that finding was xD

In reality, I don't even know what "blathering blatherskite" is, I mean, the meaning. I never even thought of searching for a meaning, I just have this believe it was nonsense xD and just for checking, i rewatch the chapter Valores Congelados (S2E7) where Gyro configure the gizmosuit for have a secret word for usage and it is in fact "Plumas de abuelo"

For context, we Mexicans do have a similar phrase: "por las barbas de mi abuelo". It can be translated as For my grand father's beard! and it's used to denote astonishment, amazement, surprise or disbelief xD

And so… yeah… I get curious and wanted to ask what's the actual meaning of blathering blatherskite and if you talk other language, could you tell me how it was translated in your language? :D

Thank u, duckblr

[bunnymedley]

yeah these puzzles where they expect u to move a block around to precisely light certain ropes on fire using gyro controls are absolutely impossible on an emulator using the mouse for motion controls holy shit it does NOT work im gonna be here until the end of time

11. favorite extracurricular activity? hm, if it's an educational activity i guess my favorite is electrical engineering (❁´◡`❁) I'm rarely inspired to make something but it is very pleasing to make A Device or collection of devices, from making the circuit board to designing and printing various encasings to programming microcontrollers. it is fun to conceptualize what u can do with technology when u know how it works but don't have 2 make anything for A Business or even just for work.. In practice i only ever make stuff for taking care of plants, my next setup was going to be rly fun to put together and much bigger/distributed — but plants and a dig crazy kitten are incompatible =ω= i find working with electronics fascinating though bc the smaller u go the simpler the functionality is, and there r so many building blocks 2 play with!! it's one of the very interesting spaces where technology and the real world interact with each other by design. my dream would be to have a huge lab with different zones for different climate n groups of plants. but i could settle for a greenhouse too ╰(￣ω￣ｏ) idk how realistic that is for me to get but i love plants!

21. something you've kept since childhood? my trauma, scars from skating and other clumsy childhood incidents and a spiritual curse (?) of sorts which i actually enjoy and want to foster 🫡 this is not a metaphor or anything lmao i mean literally.

as far as physical objects go, I just have a red screwdriver I've had since i was 17 and a socket wrench set. they've been w me through 3 states over 12 years (❁´◡`❁) i have other tools from early adulthood too but i didn't leave home under good circumstances so i didn't rly have much i could bring w me besides what were most important/enjoyable for me.

30. is there dishes in your room? yea im fucking up some gyro fries rn 😈
