so, i like to think that my MICHAEL is a bit of a cat person to some extent ― as in he tolerates cats, i wouldn't necessarily call it a like or enjoyment. he is not above harming animals as we have seen throughout the franchise, namely we have seen few instances of him harming dogs. they guard, alert & attack, so he has to take them out first before he can take care of his victims ( such instance was shown in H.alloween 1978 when he killed Lester who sensed his presence and tried to alert his owner Lindsey ). dogs pose somewhat of a threat to his killings ― but cats do not necessarily. they are not an immediate threat to him or his goals, and therefore, to some extent, they are just a small, insignificant prey unworthy of his attention. he will always prefer to focus on much bigger prey when given the choice. especially when they put up a good fight or show fear. or if that is just what he chose to do in that particular moment.
also i see some similarities between cats and MICHAEL. both are hunters that like to stalk & play with their prey. both are considered evil in a symbolic sense ( cats have been regarded as harbingers of evil looooong ago, luckily their opinion has improved :sobbing: ). and the original actor that played MICHAEL has a black cat named michael meowers and i think we should talk about it more often because it's important to me because it's so cute & iconic of him.

Hello Dandy's World fans.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I've recently been playing the game on Roblox with my friends and sibling, and it's been a ton of fun! Sure, I'm horrible at it, but it's the thought that counts ig.
And don't worry, I draw normal things too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like these things.
Tumblr media
But it's mostly angst and unhinged things lol.
Below is a silly goofy Shiny Shrimp (that's the ship name I made up for Glisten x Shrimpo lol) AU that's just angst and tragedy and bullying Shrimpo emotionally lol:
OKAY SO CONTEXT: I thought it would be funny if Shrimpo had to keep Glisten company while exploring the floors but was also the one to witness his change into his full twisted form and almost die lol.
SO, I'd imagine it going down like this.
Basically, during one of the missions below, Glisten doesn't make it to the elevator in time. Shrimpo gets wind of this and gets very pissed. Despite everyone's protests, Shrimpo decides to join on of their runs to gain iquor, but mostly to fine Glisten.
And boy does he find him and all his shattered face glory.
Tumblr media
Glisten: "Shrimpo!?" Shrimpo: "G-Glisten?" Glisten: "I knew you'd come back for me!"
Shrimpo attempts to leave the situation, seeing that Glisten is indeed twisted, despite Glisten's insistence that he is not. As Shrimpo tries to leave, Glisten gets more attached, constantly asking Shrimpo to not leave and to stay with him. Another person in the party (haven't decided who yet), tells Shrimpo to stay with Glisten and keep him company until all the machines are done. Shrimpo reluctantly agrees (and says "I HATE YOU" a couple times) and spends the rest of the round with Glisten.
However, the whole time Shrimpo's trying not to get attached because deep down, he knows it's too late for Glisten.
At the end of the round, everyone is called to go to the elevator. Shrimpo goes to leave. Glisten tries to block him off. Shimpo forces his way through. Glisten gets pissed and rips off his ribbons in anger, letting the infection take over his whole body. As Glisten's shifting, Shrimpo grabs one of his discarded ribbon pieces and beelines it to the elevator (as fast as Shrimpo can run). However, it is not fast enough, and Glisten easily catches up. He knocked over Shrimpo and lunges at him, ready take him out.
That's when Goob comes in. While everyone is trying to get the elevator to close faster, Goob grabs Shrimpo from below Glisten and pulls him into the elevator. Glisten hits the floor and breaks his face even more. As he gets up, he shouts at Shrimpo, who is shaking in Goob's arms watch Glisten break down.
Tumblr media
Glisten: "YOU PROMISED YOU'D STAY WITH ME-- YOU PROMISED!"
Then, the doors close. Glisten is gone, and Shrimpo is angry and traumatized. How fun.
Shrimpo does not do well after the whole incident. He is much more reserved, but still just as angry. Except to Goob. Goob saving him gave Shrimpo a soft spot for the guy. Also, Goob let's Shrimpo vent to him like the supportive icon he is.
Tumblr media
Shrimpo: I think I miss my partner, Goob.
But he's not the only toon Shrimpo talks to.
Tumblr media
Vee: "Geez. This crying is ruining your "tough guy" persona."
My sibling gave me the silly idea to have Shrimpo and Vee be "friends" in this bc Shrimp hates Dandy waaaaaaaaaay more after the Glisten incident. And Vee hates Dandy in general, so boom, situation friendship. However, Vee sucks at being a supportive friend.
Tumblr media
And some silly stuff my friends requested. Shrimpo chucking Dandy into the stratosphere and Goob being Goob. Healing the world one crappy doodle at a time.
Thank you for looking at the dooles and mindless rant of a grown adult about a Roblox horror game for 9-year-olds. You're a real one. Have a good day broksies.

Touch starved pilots of your choice cuddling their s/o headcanons
characters written: pete 'maverick' mitchell, nick 'goose' bradshaw, tom 'iceman' kazansky, ron 'slider' kerner, leonard 'wolfman' wolfe, rick 'hollywood' neven, beau 'cyclone' simpson, bradley 'rooster' bradshaw, jake 'hangman' seresin, natasha 'phoenix' trace, robert 'bob' floyd, javy 'coyote' machado, mickey 'fanboy' garcia, reuben 'payback' fitch
sfw, but cut for length. enjoy!
Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell:
depends on what age you're thinking!
if it's young!mav, he's probably just a liiiitle reluctant to let himself relax sometimes
he's sort of got his tough guy persona, and he's not used to dropping it, so when you get him alone he tries messing around at first
whether that's a few too many kisses, or a pinch to your side, he guards himself a bit before letting himself go
but when he does, oh, he's like a little kitten !
he lets you run your hands through his gelled hair (gross)
and it gets all misshapen and spiky
he probably just melts when you pet his hair like that, and he'll be snoozing on your chest in no time
now older!mav is definitely less of a tough nut to crack
he probably initiates the cuddling in the first place, he nudges you over to the bed and lays himself on top of you to crush you
you can push at his chest and splutter all you want, but he's made his choice on where he's going to lay, and it's on you
he likes holding you, but he wants to be face-to-face, so you can brush noses and bump foreheads
he probably tries sooo hard to stay awake so that he can soak in the time you're spending together but peepaw definitely crashes like 10 minutes in
Nick 'Goose' Bradshaw:
he also likes to be face to face!
buuut not for the same sweet reason as mav
he just wants to itch you with his mustache
he likes nipping at you too, he bites your nose to make you laugh
you won't be getting any sleep when you cuddle with goose, he just wants to talk and laugh and hold you the entire time
it's not a period of time to wind down, it's a big laugh-fest
and god FORBID you try to get up to pee
“Nick, I have to go.” / “Sorry, honey. I can’t let go. I think my hand’s stuck.” / “NICK!!”
Tom ‘Iceman’ Kazansky
he’s another one who probably has just a bit of trouble letting his guard down
he’ll cuddle with you no doubt, but he’ll probably always keep you in his lap or have some sort of upper hand in the embrace
it takes a while before he’s ready to be held himself
when he does finally give in it's so soft and sweet :')
he's had a really hard day and he comes home with his eyes drooping
you've planned a movie night but he doesn't even look like he could sit through an episode of a tv show
so you lead him to bed instead, and tell him you're sleepy, cause he won't 'ruin' the night by admitting that he is
you ask to play with his hair and he lets you, but he's not sure why 'cause you just said you were tired??
you basically have to trick him into being held but once his head is on your chest and your hands are in his hair he's gone.
he ends up mumbling something all sleepy and groggy like 'mm, that's nice' and his eyes are half shut and he's so endearingly tired :')
he wants you to do it all the time now, I'd say it's about 50/50 whether you fall asleep holding him or he falls asleep holding you
Ron 'Slider' Kerner:
slider's a big boy!!!!!!!
he's big and tall and muscly, the perfect cuddle buddy
he's probably more inclined to hold than be held
but he likes it when you face him so you can wrap your arms around his back :')
he probably likes it when he's able to bury his face in your neck/shoulder/against the top of your head
like he always wants his face snuggled in somewhere warm and nice smelling
and it just so happens his chest is an excellent place to get lost yourself
so you most of the time just nuzzle right into each other and get to snoozin'
i think he'd talk real soft, too, he'd murmur against your ear while you're drifting off, probably boring you to sleep with technical details of his flights but just before you crash for the night he slips in a little 'i love you, honey' and <33333
Leonard 'Wolfman' Wolfe:
he's a loser for his partner it has to be said
almost as teasing as nick is but not quite
he'll let you fall asleep he just wants to talk to you AllTheTime because he LovesYouSoMuch
he's a chatterbox and you'll be lucky if you get to sleep at a decent hour
he really likes it when you lay your head on his chest
'cause he likes playing with your hair and your face :]
sometimes he'll just use you as a little stress toy and squeeze your cheeks and pinch your nose and poke at your forehead
always making silly little jokes and telling you all about his day
down to, like, every comment one of his friends made...
'and then slider said he was gonna kill him but hollywood ran, so then they were just chasing each other around and iceman said-' / 'babe.. can we sleep? please?' / 'oh! right, sorry baby.'
Rick 'Hollywood' Neven
listen there's a reason he and wolfman get along so well
they're BOTH teases!!!
cuddling with hollywood is not really relaxing, because he's always pinching your sides or putting his nasty cold feet all over you, or pretending to knock you out by fake-punching you a bunch
you're just laying there and he's 'punching' your stomach, making fake punch sounds with his mouth, and if you push him away he'll pretend you've absolutely knocked him out, tumbling down onto the mattress with this dramatic thump and closing his eyes and sticking his tongue out of his mouth like he's a dead cartoon character 😭
he's like a dog you have to get his energy out before trying to rest with him or he just Won't Rest
when you DO get him sleepy, though, he's kinda incoherent when he's tired, so you'll be cuddled up together, maybe you're scratching his back, maybe he's playing with your hair, and he's just sort of mumbling nonsense until he finally drifts off to sleep
Beau 'Cyclone' Simpson:
will not be held
sorry! not happening
he's just so big and beefy and authoritative that he doesn't much enjoy being coddled
he loves cuddling with you though, he gets very relaxed just laying with you
he's a casual toucher, i think, so you can rest your head on his shoulder at the airport, you can hold his hand at restaurants, whether that be over or under the table, he lets you hang all over him however you want
he's not super into in-your-face PDA, though, so you'll have to be polite and considerate about it
actually in bed though, under the blankets at night?
he's so much more cuddly than you'd expect
he wraps his big strong arms around you and tugs you close and lets you melt all over him <33
your favorite place to lay your head is probably his chest 'cause it's so broad and firm and nice <3
he's a good back rubber so cuddles are always soft and cozy and sleepy
Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw:
lord he's a cuddler
he's just a touchy guy, because he's probably gone without it for a significant amount of time so now that he's got you he's gonna enjoy it
big big big on pda, doesn't really care who sees
so that means cuddling in public, too
perfectly content to sit by the beach with you in his lap all cuddled back into his chest he doesn't care if anyone teases him
but back in bed he's a sucker for head scratches
if you have long-ish nails, enough to scratch at his scalp, he'll literally melt over you like an ice cream cone
his limbs go all gooey and he flops his head down on your chest, groaning and grunting while you scratch through his hair
he really enjoys sleeping on top of you, whether that be fully chest-to-chest 'you're suffocating me' cuddling or just an arm thrown over your stomach while he lays on his own
he likes being held, too, but probably prefers to hold unless he's having a hard day
Jake 'Hangman' Seresin:
big boy!! surprisingly fond of being held for everything we know about him
that cocky demeanor does not last under the sheets
he adores holding you, of course, he'll wrap his big arms around you and cradle your head to his chest
he probably plays with your hair, looooves it when you tangle your legs up with his own
he prefers if you talk to him rather than him talk to you if you're cuddling
cause he likes the sound of your voice and he loves hearing about your day
he tries to listen so attentively to what you're saying, but if you're taking a little too long telling him about that batty old customer that had visited the shop you work at today, his eyes are going to slowly start to droop and he's gonna let out a big ol yawn that means it's time for him to close his eyes
you always cut yourself off like 'sorry, jake. g'head, go to sleep'
and he insists you continue like 'nooo darlin' i wanna hear! keep going :]' except within two minutes he's dozing against the pillow while you talk about the old lady again
he's a simple man just talk soft and slow to him while snuggled up in his arms and he's gonna sleep no matter what you're telling him
Natasha 'Phoenix' Trace:
she really likes laying face-to-face with you!!
she's a fan of spooning, of course, she likes either burying her face in your back or letting you snuggle into hers
but she loves the intimacy that comes from being pretty much nose-to-nose with you
the type to lay there and chat with you mere inches away so that you're leaning in to kiss her all giggly and bashful every four seconds
she uses your cuddle time to tell you all about her teammates, what stupid shit jake said today, how bob almost tripped down the stairs, that fanboy's got a new girlfriend who wants to meet you, etc etc etc
but that means when you see them next you know all of the hot gossip about everyone and you giggle every time jake says something dumb and he's like WHAT.. WHAT IS IT.. WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME.. and you give nat this little ;) 'cause you'll definitely be talking shit about him later
she does this thing where she cradles the back of your head in her hand if you're face to face and she throws her leg over your waist and it gives you such intense butterflies that you need to close your eyes sometimes <3333
Robert 'Bob' Floyd:
cuddlebug <3
he loooves cuddling but if you do it face-to-face he's gonna need to be super close to you because he can't see without his glasses 😭
i'm taking like nose-to-nose so close that you have to cross your eyes to see him
otherwise he's pretty chill in what positions he likes
you love it when he reads to you
i think he might not be the most confident reader out loud but he does it anyways 'cause it puts you to sleep
he gets really sleepy really easily so sometimes it's best to refrain from cuddling in public
like you're out on the beach by a firepit and you're all snuggled up together but oops he can't enjoy his smores because he's sleeping on your shoulder
he loves it when you lay your head on his shoulder sm :'))
he wraps his arm around you and tugs you closer <3
Javy 'Coyote' Machado:
prefers holding to being held
probably a little less talkative than the rest, but that doesn't mean you never chat
he just has this insane ability to fall asleep anywhere, i'm talking slumped against the bus window, leaning against the wall, sitting on the ground, piloting his aircraft sorry
he likes staring at you, though, while he falls asleep :')
if you're talking to him he'll listen and nod and hum along and agree when he should, he's a very good listener
but slowly he'll start to fade a bit, and he'll sling his hand over your waist, smush his face into the pillow, and keep listening for as long as he can
slooooowly you start getting less responses from him, he's not reacting as much, but his eyes are always locked onto your face and he's got this lazy little smile on his face while he drifts off to sleep 'cause he gets to look at you the whole time :')
loverboy!!
Mickey 'Fanboy' Garcia:
the most talkative in the whole wide world
cuddling with him is barely even cuddling, it's watching him act out his entire day
'and then payback went like this and- BAM! shot it down.'
and he's up on his knees in the middle of the bed with his arms out demonstrating exactly how they'd worked through their training exercises that day
and he is loud and energetic and you're half-asleep like 'that sounds awesome, babe.'
he isn't one to stay in one place really, he likes tossing and turning a bit before he falls asleep which means that you are also going to be tossed and turned
he's a really shifty sleeper too so you'll wake up with your face in his armpit
if you're really sleepy though, he'll settle down, he'll pull you into his chest and let you fall asleep there
but he'll probably be on his phone for a bit, he strikes me as a crazy night owl
Reuben 'Payback' Fitch:
out in two seconds
there is no conscious cuddling with him
why?
because the second his head hits the pillow he's snoring
you can cuddle up to him but if he's cuddling up to you he's doing it in his sleep
you're actually so jealous of him bc you lay down for the night and he tucks his chin over your head or he snuggles his face into your neck and that's it.
he's out.
he's a clingy sleeper, though, so if you wanna read for a bit or use your phone it might be kind of hard
honestly it really helps your sleep schedule to sleep with him 'cause sometimes he's entirely wrapped around you and you can't move
so there's nothing to do but sleep yourself
he's like a living furnace i KNOW that man runs hot
you probably wake up sweating a bunch if you're all snuggly with him
blanket stealer. he somehow manages to tear them off of the end of the bed where they're tucked in and cocoon himself
and then you wake up freezing cold
when i said he snores i mean it he snores loud
it's sort of comforting eventually? like at first it drives u insane
but over time you come to rely on it as white noise and you can't sleep unless he's all over you snoring right in your ear and drooling on your shoulder

In Glory, in Ruin - part 1
New series! This will contain pet whump, but I decided to make a slightly more sadistic whumper than my other two stories because I like spontaneity. Please give feedback and send as many asks about them as you want!
CW: Suggestive, death threats, mob boss whumper, intimate/creepy whumper, future pet whump, mafia/mob/crime whump, mentioned murder
...
Diesel's life was pretty ordinary. He went about his day like any other person would in the city. The hustle and bustle of the city streets was a background noise that helped him tune out all the thoughts inside his head. He was a pretty ordinary, scrawny guy, so it was easy to go unnoticed by those around him. To most, they'd think he was just another stressed out white collar worker, like most in the city.
Well, the 'stressed out' part was true.
His father owed some awful guys a lot of debt, but never paid it off. When he died, that debt was passed to Diesel.
Yet they didn't want money from him, when he made it clear he couldn't pay it off. They decided to use him as an asset, which was the only reason he had been working this stupid job for the past three years.
"Jasper Lynn is the guy we want dirt on," he was told. "Boss of The Iron Syndicate, slippery fucker he is."
Of course Diesel had heard of him before. Everyone knew about Jasper.
It was common knowledge he killed his own father after taking over The Iron Syndicate ten years ago. Not even twenty at the time and he was one of the most dangerous people in the world.
There were all sorts of rumors surrounding him; some said he used to be a professional cage fighter before taking over for his father, some said his father wasn't even his actual dad.
Never did Diesel care, because Jasper "The Iron Lion" Lynn was only ever interested in making an example of snitches who wound up dead on the doorsteps of the authorities, and if he kept his head down he wouldn't have to worry.
"I can't do that," Diesel stammered, "I'll be killed, I'm not equipped for this kind of stuff!" He had spied for them before--even killed for them before--but this was something completely out of his normal territory.
"Does that mean I should just end your life now, Blevins?" he had been asked in return. "Because if you don't do this for me, you have no reason being alive, got it?"
So he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Diesel forced himself to nod and agree.
"Good man."
Which led to now. The Iron Syndicate were having one of their monthly celebrations at a casino downtown, the very same casino that acted as the headquarters for their less than legal exploits. Diesel forced himself to put on a tough guy persona, dressed in one of the plain black suits that matched the rest of the other members of The Iron Syndicate.
"Name?" the bouncer asked, not looking up from her phone.
"Glen Lloyd," Diesel lied. He had managed to knock out one of The Iron Syndicate members and retrieve their ID card. Of course he didn't want to kill anyone unless absolutely necessary.
She looked up, gave him an unimpressed once-over, and shrugged before waving him through. As he stepped through, loud bass-heavy music nearly knocked Diesel off balance.
For how illegal the casino was, it sure was bustling with activity.
There was an upper balcony overlooking a large stage, where some dancers were currently doing a performance.
Around the first floor were various gambling tables, crowded full of players betting away their hard-earned cash. At the very center of the casino was a bar lit by neon red light fixtures.
If Diesel had more time, he would probably explore every aspect of the building, but he could get caught if he wandered around too much.
His contact hadn't told him what exactly he needed dirt on, so the best Diesel could do was take pictures of Jasper and his closest members and hope they found it useful for something.
He grabbed a small cocktail glass from one of the waiters walking around and tried to blend into the crowd, downing it to settle his nerves.
Eventually, after wandering for about ten minutes, Diesel spotted Jasper talking to another woman with black hair. She wore red lipstick, her hair in a ponytail, and black round sunglasses on top of her head.
They were both tall, but Jasper especially. He looked to be at least six feet, probably even taller. It made him somehow even more nervous.
But still, Diesel fiddled with his smartphone, making sure flash wasn't on. He glanced around to make sure no one was looking, and snapped a single photo before pocketing his phone.
He was starting to wonder if this was just a suicide-mission he was set on.
Would he be killed if he came back empty-handed? Surely not, right? They kept him alive this long, even though he had made several mistakes over the past three years that almost landed him dead in an alleyway.
Then again, The Iron Syndicate was notorious for killing people without remorse. Either way he'd probably end up dead in a ditch.
"Well, aren't you cute."
Diesel almost jumped when he noticed Jasper and the woman both approaching him. He felt blood rush to his cheeks when he realized what Jasper had said. His voice was so deep, it sent a shiver down his spine.
"Oh, he's shy," the woman grinned, "it's okay, we come in peace. Are you new here?"
"I am, actually," he nodded sheepishly. It seemed like they suspected nothing, thankfully. "Is it that obvious?" he forced a chuckle.
Jasper was gazing at him so intently, Diesel felt like melting under his stare alone, and not in the good way. He wondered why someone so powerful would have a moment wasted on him. Maybe they were suspicious?
"It isn't," Jasper assured, "Katherine is just a lot better at memorizing faces than I am." His grin was smug, his gaze lidded. For whatever reason, Diesel could sense that Jasper didn't fully trust him. But still, the conversation seemed to be going somewhere. "Though I'd recognize a face like yours."
Diesel didn't know if that was flirting or a threat. "Thank you, sir... I rarely go to parties, just figured I'd try to make some friends for once."
"Well, consider us friends already, darling!" Katherine said cheerily. "Katherine Fritz. I'm the underboss."
Oh fuck. Now Diesel really regretted getting himself roped into this entire situation.
Jasper chuckled quietly. "It's alright, no need to be anxious. Let me buy you a drink."
Without waiting for Diesel to answer, Jasper placed a gentle hand on his back, guiding him towards the bar. It was surprisingly warm--Diesel could feel the heat through his clothes.
The smaller man let him guide them over, his brain nearly short-circuiting from everything going on.
The bartender turned to face them both, pushing a strand of black hair out of his face. He smiled as soon as he recognized Jasper. "Your usual?" he asked.
"The usual for me, yeah." Jasper leaned against the counter, gaze now on Diesel. "We're celebrating our new member tonight. How about...a Moscow mule for you? You strike me as a Moscow mule type of guy."
"Sure," Diesel stammered. Why was the head boss of The Iron Syndicate bothering to offer him a drink, let alone talk to him? He felt everyone's eyes on him. This must have been a common occurrence; the dangerous Jasper Lynn treating one of the others to a drink.
The bartender immediately began mixing together their drinks, seemingly distracted by the music.
"So..." Diesel muttered, "are you two dating?"
Jasper and Katherine both laughed.
"That's the complete opposite," Katherine assured him. "We hate each other. In a friendly way."
Diesel didn't comment how that made no sense to him.
"We've known each other since we were teenagers. Sometimes it might seem that way to strangers," Jasper said. His gaze was focused on Diesel, so intense that Diesel averted his eyes. "Why? You interested?"
What was even the correct answer to that? Jasper looked like he was having a great time watching him get flustered.
That cool gaze, and knowing smile. Something inside him hoped that this was actually flirting and not a test.
At least if it was actual flirting, the chances of him getting out of this alive were higher, surely. Diesel stuttered so much he could barely understand himself.
Katherine cooed. "Look at that. You broke the poor thing."
"Apologies," Jasper grinned, "I was teasing, obviously."
"Obviously," Diesel repeated weakly, cheeks flushed.
Their drinks were finally ready, and Diesel picked it up carefully. The glass was colder than he anticipated. He took a cautious sip of it, letting the liquid roll down his tongue. It tasted bitter, but he forced himself to enjoy it. If he didn't, he was scared either of them would notice.
"You haven't given us your name yet, sweet thing," Jasper pointed out, picking up his own glass of scotch.
Was he being interrogated?
"Oh, yeah. My name's Diesel," he said, realizing he just gave his real name. How was he still even alive at this point? "Um, Diesel Thomas." At least he could give himself a fake last name.
Jasper held out his hand for Diesel to shake, which the shorter man did timidly. He just hoped his palms weren't clammy, though Jasper was wearing gloves, so he doubted he'd notice.
"What brought you to The Iron Syndicate, Diesel Thomas?" Jasper asked smoothly. "No offense, but you stick out here like a sore thumb." He took another sip of his drink. Diesel almost panicked, searching for some kind of excuse.
"Bad decisions," he said eventually. "You know the whole shebang, the stereotypical sob story. Owe money, get in trouble with gangs, et cetera." Not entirely untrue.
Jasper nodded, humming under his breath in thought. Diesel's brain was practically screaming at him to find an escape route and fast.
Yet something made him want to stay. He hadn't ever seen Jasper face-to-face before. His reputation always preceded him, always painted him as such a violent, intimidating presence, and Diesel never would have guessed otherwise. Yet he seemed oddly relaxed and even playful with his behavior.
Though maybe he shouldn't assume things so quickly. Diesel had only talked to the guy for barely ten minutes.
And the way Jasper looked at him was... peculiar. He could have sworn there was a certain hunger to his gaze, but he probably was projecting. If he weren't a mob boss, Diesel would think he's just trying to get in his pants.
Both him and Katherine, honestly.
"How about some poker after some drinks?" Jasper casually asked.
"Oh, uh... I don't know how to play poker." Diesel finished his Moscow mule, silently placing it back down.
The other man chuckled. "How about pool?"
Katherine huffed. "Sure you wanna play pool again, Jaspie? I can't count how many times you've lost already today."
"That's why I'm challenging Diesel, actually," Jasper retorted, but his tone was still playful. He turned back to the younger man. "Don't ever accept her when she challenges you to a game. She cheats at everything."
"I'm just good at manipulating numbers, that's all," Katherine argued innocently, playing with her fingernails. Her red lipstick matched her nails nicely, Diesel couldn't help but notice. She was certainly stunning and charismatic, if a bit intimidating. Then again, Jasper was too, just in a different way. "If I just happen to have strong skills, should that be my fault?"
"Yeah, but you still cheat," Jasper chuckled. His gold eyes then met with Diesel's blue ones. "What do you say, honey?"
Playing pool wouldn't hurt, right? He didn't really know any of the rules of poker. So he simply shrugged. "Okay."
Immediately, Jasper took their cups back, giving them to the bartender behind the counter. Jasper gave him a wink. They moved to the pool table area of the casino.
"I assume you're not in the mood for old-fashioned gambling," Jasper chuckled, handing Diesel a cue. "So how about this? If you win, you get to make me do whatever you want. And if I win, I get to make you do whatever I want. How does that sound?" He twirled his pool cue between his fingers expertly.
The 'whatever you want' sounded promising in his head, but also terrifying. What the hell was that supposed to mean? It was so vague.
Katherine whistled. "Better take him up on that. He usually doesn't make those kinds of offers." She leaned forward, smiling at Diesel. "It'll probably just involve some sex and booze. Jasper isn't that creative. Simple-minded guy, easy to please."
Diesel choked on nothing.
Jasper glared at Katherine over his shoulder. "Thanks, Kat."
"Anytime."
"Uh..." Diesel's brain tried to compute everything happening right now. "That sounds good," he mumbled lamely. If he declined, would that raise suspicion? But if he accepted, would that also be bad? Well, even if that were the case, it was too late now. "Yeah, okay. Yeah."
Jasper flashed him that charming smile, and suddenly Diesel wanted to smack himself for agreeing.
He chalked his cue awkwardly as Jasper started racking the balls on the opposite side of the table. He then picked up a coin from a jar on the wall. "Heads or tails?" Jasper asked casually.
"Tails," Diesel muttered.
Jasper flipped the coin in the air before catching it in one palm. He peeked at it, that grin spreading even wider. "Well, looks like I'll be shooting first, pretty boy." He rolled up his sleeves to show off his tattooed arms.
Those pet names were gonna kill him, if Jasper didn't himself.
The taller man took his first shot. With a loud bang, all the balls bounced apart, the first ball falling into one of the pockets.
Jasper leaned down against the edge of the table again, taking another shot, but missed this time. When he glanced up at Diesel, it was with that same hungry expression from before.
The younger man fiddled with his cue before walking around to the opposite side of the table.
He hit a couple balls, though none landed into any of the holes. It was enough of an excuse for Jasper to get closer to Diesel's personal space than was necessary. Their arms brushed together every so often, Jasper's lips always close enough to Diesel's ear for him to hear the soft breathing emitting from the taller man.
At one point, Jasper pressed against him from behind, pinning him to the table.
"Let me show you how it works, darling," he whispered, guiding Diesel's hand with his own. Jasper then gently helped Diesel shoot properly, and this time the ball finally went into the hole. The mob boss pulled away after that, as if he hadn't done anything strange. "See what happens when you apply just the right amount of pressure?"
"You're quite handsy," Katherine teased, pulling Jasper away from Diesel. "Can you calm down with that? Poor Diesel's going to combust if you keep that up. Save it for the bedroom."
"He loves it," Jasper rolled his eyes.
They both continued playing until Jasper managed to get most of the striped balls into the pockets, winning the game. Diesel groaned internally.
"Huh, it's been awhile since I've actually won," Jasper commented, hanging up his pool cue back onto its rack on the wall. "Almost makes me want to play pool more often." He turned back around to face Diesel. "Guess that means I won our little wager. You remember the terms, don't you?"
"Yeah..." Diesel gulped audibly. This felt worse than having a gun pointed at him, somehow. He didn't like how Jasper was grinning like the cat who ate the canary, but he tried to ignore it anyway. "So...you wanna do what exactly..?"
Jasper pretended to contemplate it. "Hmm... what do you think, Kat?"
Katherine smirked. "Well, I don't know about you, but I'd like to see him to be honest about why he's really here." She folded her arms across her chest. "Isn't that right, Blevins?"
Diesel froze, color draining from his face instantly. There was no way. Absolutely no fucking way...
He glanced around, noticing that everyone seemed to stop talking among themselves and instead began approaching them all slowly. He noticed guns strapped to some of their hips.
Katherine and Jasper both were leaning against the table, not looking bothered at all. Jasper was sipping a drink, looking rather amused by something, while Katherine only stood beside him with the same smirk as before.
"How?" Diesel clutched his own chest. His heart felt like it was ready to explode out of his chest, going a million miles a minute.
Jasper chuckled. "Oh sweet, naive, silly Diesel Blevins," he purred. "You think I'm oblivious to anything that happens inside these walls? Really? It's my casino, my club. And everyone here is loyal to me. Your disguise wasn't clever."
"But...if you knew, why didn't you kill me right then and there?" Diesel frowned. That part truly confused him the most. If Jasper had figured out why he was here right when they first met, why play along with his bullshit?
"If I did, it'd ruin the fun," Jasper pouted mockingly. "Where's the fun in murdering someone right after meeting them? Where's the thrill?" He laughed again, much darker this time. "Plus, seeing the look on your face right now is worth it all. You're too easy to toy with, y'know? It's so rare I get people like you who are just too gullible, too curious. It's adorable."
Diesel blinked away tears. How pathetic was he, crying just because he fucked up again?
He wanted to curse at himself for ever accepting his offer, though if he had declined it, surely he still would have been found out anyway.
"What's gonna happen to me?" he choked out.
Jasper put his glass aside. He sauntered to the shorter man, cupping Diesel's chin gently. The poor thing didn't even protest the action.
"It depends," Jasper cooed, stroking his thumb along Diesel's cheekbone. "I could torture you for info. Kill you. Sell you." His tone suggested he didn't actually plan on doing any of those things. Diesel whimpered. "I'd prefer if you told me on your own who you work for. No need to make this complicated. After all, I like you quite a lot. You intrigue me. Plus, it'd be a shame to ruin such a beautiful face, no?"
"I...I can't tell you that!" Diesel stuttered. If he snitched, they would definitely end his life. Who cares if he was useless to them now, they wanted revenge. "I know how it works, they'd kill me for sure..."
With a laugh, Katherine replied, "Well, its either they do or we do."
Jasper laughed along with her. "Don't feel like you need to be loyal to whoever sent you here. I mean, they definitely sent you here on a death mission, anyway. You're clearly inexperienced with this type of stuff, they must've realized that if they knew anything about you, sweetheart. It's obvious you aren't used to being here, being with people like me. I could read you like an open book, honestly."
"...Velvet Fangs," Diesel finally muttered. "...I-I owed them debt because of my father. I dunno anything else... I-I can't tell you more. Please don't hurt me..."
"It's been awhile since we dealt with VF, huh?" Katherine frowned. "The last time was probably six years ago."
"Six years ago..." Jasper repeated. He looked up in thought, trying to remember back. Suddenly realization dawned on him, and his eyes lit up. "Ah, you're right! Hm. They used to be competent, what happened to them? Sending a civilian like you to retrieve information for them... Now that's sad, even for them. Their good recruits must've quit."
He seemed to be lost in thought. Diesel swallowed the lump forming in his throat. "Can I go now...? I swear I won't tell anyone—"
"Nah-ah-ah, Diesel," Jasper interrupted. "We're not done yet. In fact, we've only just begun. Like I said earlier, I like you a lot." His grip on Diesel's jaw tightened briefly before letting go entirely.
He reached into his blazer pocket, revealing his pistol. The silver accents on the handgun gleamed under the casino's red light fixtures, making it appear like it was almost glowing in the darkness of the room. Jasper traced the barrel of the gun under Diesel's chin, forcing the smaller man to meet his gaze. Fear was clear in those blue orbs of his.
Jasper clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth. "Give me your phone," he demanded.
Diesel only nodded in response, reaching into his pant's pocket and shakily pulling out his smartphone. Jasper grabbed it, tossing it to one of the guys behind him without looking.
"Transfer the files and then destroy it," Jasper ordered. The man gave him a brief salute and nod before pocketing Diesel's phone and walking away. "Hey," Jasper murmured softly, lifting up Diesel's chin with a single finger. "You still with me?" Diesel didn't need to respond, the fear in his eyes said everything. "I have an idea. Heads or tails?"
Jasper sure liked gambling. "H-heads...?"
He smiled and then flipped a quarter high into the air above him, grabbing it as it fell back down. When he checked, his grin widened.
"Lucky you. You're coming home with me." He yanked Diesel up by the arm. "But try anything, and I won't hesitate to fill you with lead, got it?" Diesel couldn't nod fast enough. "Good, I'm glad we're on the same page." He led him to a sleek black limousine that drove up to the entrance. Pushing him into the car, Jasper then followed, closing the door shut.
Diesel squeezed his eyes shut the entire time and chose to pretend none of this was real.

Evidence 1823847 Bucky makes Steve feminine coded: Grieving
a brief analysis of the portrayal of Steve's emotions in the context of grieving and how Bucky is (again) the person who adds gendered layers to Steve's character.
we can all agree that Steve represses his feelings more often than not. he has to. he was a poor, tiny, sick kid who got picked on or pitied all the time, neither of which was desirable, and over the years it just became who he is. it's not necessarily a bad thing, but emotional constipation is often associated with masculinity because emotions are considered a weakness, especially for a male (super)hero. they either tough it up or use unhealthy coping mechanisms to hide their trauma (anger, drinking, repression, suppression, denial, joke, etc.).
Steve is repressive as hell. he is, by nature, a very emotional person, sensitive and empathetic, but his childhood made him believe that he needed to be as tough and strong and independent as possible. to some extent, Bucky is the same, if not worse, but that's for another time.
Steve lost, well, almost everyone he's ever loved. but how often does he get to actually grieve them and be vulnerable?
chronologically:
after Sarah's funeral, Steve was sad but holding it together. he kept his head down all the time and didn't look at Bucky until Bucky said the wedding vow to him. Steve was obviously playing the tough guy persona. but Bucky cut right through his bullshit and let him know that it's ok to be vulnerable, you don't have to pretend when you are with me. and Steve, the definition of stubborn, actually took Bucky up on his offer. and Bucky made him smile, even just a little bit, on the day of his ma's funeral, with not a sassy joke, but a heartwarming, earnest, gay ass declaration of love and loyalty.
after Bucky died in catfa, Steve was so overwhelmed by the pain of the loss he was crying alone in a ruined bar. he allowed himself to grieve, to break. he thought he was safe because he was alone. After all, Captain America couldn't be caught crying while trying to drink himself to oblivion for the death of a compatriot. and he thought he was safe because Peggy was supposed to be the only person besides Bucky who saw him as who he was. but no. she said 'then don't deny him the dignity of that.' she said to tough it up. see it as an honor for Bucky, your grief is tantamount to decimating his courage and sacrifice. stop being swallowed by grief and get your ass moving.
him mourning the loss of his friends in the first Avengers movie was cut. he was canonly not allowed to be sad.
during the entire Steve sadness errands, he was sad but not explicit about it. god knows how many times has he visited the museum just to see a couple of familiar faces on a screen. did he have to hide in a bathroom stall the first few times he saw Bucky's smiling face, when he heard about the Howlies sharing ridiculous war stories? we can only assume, because how can you make a movie about the greatest superhero and have him have a mental breakdown 30 minutes into the movie? because how could Steve ever let himself be so openly broken without Bucky being there to piece him back together? 'what makes you happy?" Sam asked. 'I don't know.' Steve answered, with a smile.
Peggy's funeral was a crowded public event, he was on camera, he tried to hold his tears back because again, he had a reputation to uphold. Sam and Nat were there to quite literally hold his hands through this. however, Sam's presence was practically ignored and Nat's visit was shadowed by the ominous immediacy of the Accords.
endtrash didn't happen so we don't talk about it.
in a Watsonian reading, Steve consistently mask the true depth of his grief. partly because that's just who he is, partly because that's who people think he is (Captain America).
Bucky becomes the outlier case. Bucky allows Steve to be vulnerable, hell he pushes him to be cus he knows how hurt Steve truly is. and when it was Bucky who died, Steve couldn't hold his emotions back.
interestingly, it was Nat, a woman, who echoed Bucky's sentiment, you can be vulnerable with me, I'm here for you. even so, his response was not directly shown on screen, therefore more a demonstration of their relationship than Steve's emotional state. [a tangent: Cap trilogy Nat was much more of a real human than whatever joss wheden fantasizes about sexy deadly russian spy. she can be scared, uncertain, earnest, annoyingly gossip, and caring in Cap movies and still be the badass black widow as we know it.]
regardless, the point stands that Steve showing his grief is not easy, due to the environment and/or his own stubbornness. and it's ultimately a feminine trait (iterated by Nat's parallel) that best presents itself when Bucky is involved.
I rest my case.
now I don't want it to be an anti-peggy post because what prompted me to write this post was also partly because of the comics, where Thor basically told Steve the same thing as Peggy. but I only want to limit the scope to the MCU so. it's not my fault that stucky was in the narrative but steggy is not.

I'm actually such a genius because if you roll with my whole "Gumshoe has a massive embarrassing crush on Edgeworth" theory every scene becomes one million times better. Imagine you're nearing your thirties, you're mostly professionally fulfilled and well-respected by your peers, in comes this fresh-out-of-law-school prodigy and immediately gets on everybody's nerves with his stuck-up attitude, and you really want to get mad too but you can't because his cheekbones are too sharp and his eyes are too pretty. So this hulking gruff homicide detective immediately starts courting the twink in his own layman fashion, except the twink drives an expensive sports car and goes to fancy restaurants more than once a month, and he doesn't even want to see the cool rock the detective picked up on his way to the precinct this morning! It's a disaster. He can't even tell anyone because it'll ruin his "tough guy" persona - he thinks he has a "tough guy" persona - but he does all the little things like learn Edgeworth's habits and help him out with his investigations, it's all very meet-cute, and everybody can see it, and also the good detective doesn't have much experience on the so-called "gay dating scene" so he doesn't think it's that queer when he says all the sentimental little gay things that he says. He doesn't even have the time to think about the fact that his feelings may be unrequited, he's too busy being all smitten-like, and also there's the murders, always the murders! It's also all incredibly embarrassing because he's picturing domestic life and a multitude of mundane eventualities that bring about the true colors of deep-rooted love but the object of his affections by all accounts should be at the club. It's so bad. I'd die.

I try really hard to empathize with my dad and connect with him but if I think about him and the kind of person he is for longer than two seconds I get upset and ruin my day. He’s arrogant, overly self assured in his mediocrity, spends 99% of his existence talking badly about other people, overly obsessed with validation from other men, brutish, dense, incapable of calmly engaging in any sort of discussion without resorting to “I know what you are but what am I” type of responses and screaming and pounding his fists. He’s also super awkward and timid, which made me used to feel sorry for him but he doesn’t possess likeable traits or any empathy. His idea of masculinity ia just being brutish and trying to assert dominance over his female family members. He turned his back on my sister when she got into drugs. He stuck his fist in my face for kindly asking if he can be nicer to my sister. This is the same man who’s scared to order at drive thrus. He’s a vicious anti semite who spent my entire childhood monologuing about hatred for jews and now gets all self righteous about any criticism of Israel because he hates Arabs more than Jews (enemy of my enemy is my friend). He spends all his fucking time talking down on minorities and poor people as a teacher who isn’t gonna be able to retire. I remember as a kid him screaming at me for suggesting he give a dollar to a Mexican immigrant family that was asking for money because even though he’s an immigrant himself he perceives himself as more deserving. Earlier this year he was joking about Jews being gassed. He would never say that outside of the house since he’s scared of everything and puts on a tough guy persona at home. I wish someone would fucking check him. For all my mom’s faults she’s sharp as a tack and assertive and generally has her shit together, which does make me respect her. I see all these faults in my dad and it makes me feel..gross. Like do I also possess this extreme lack of self awareness/low intelligence and brutish and maybe I’m just not seeing it. i feel like i have bitch dna…

1, 2, and 3 for Vincent if you'd like? <3
Yusss, thanks so much for asking!!! :D
1. How does your OC feel about their full name?
His first name, Vincent, he chose himself. There is no particular deeper reason, it was a name that he always liked and it did the job of having something to be called that didn’t make his skin crawl. Ezaki, his last name, his father’s, his conservative, traditionalist family’s name, he does not care for. In a handful of instances it had turned out to be beneficial to carry it, but the bad connotations and memories he associates with it outweigh the name’s usefulness by far by now. For security reasons, or so he tells himself, he keeps his full name a secret from most people. Also, Jackie gave him his nickname “V” in the night they first met, and now more than ever he prefers just V over any other name.
Tumblr media
2. What do strangers notice about them first?
Probably his hair: very styled, very bright colours. He is not very tall but carries himself as if he was. Then they’d notice the large, dark tattoos framing his face, and finally that pair of intense brown eyes that give you the feeling he already knows more about you after a second of eye contact than you’ll ever figure out about him.
3. How does their social personality differ from how they act when they’re alone?
V is serious, but friendly, can be bold even, but he will always remain somewhat distanced, tense or guarded. He tends to hide or at least somewhat conceal his thoughts and feelings behind sarcasm.
Specifically during his time at Arasaka he crafted this personality, this costume almost, of a tough and maybe even scary guy who can ruin your life in the blink of an eye if you cross him – but who will stand in for you if you show him loyalty and respect and do what he says. His Arasaka-persona has slightly faded with the forced change of surroundings after he was kicked out, replaced with a slightly less scary, less intimidating mask – but still a mask he wears to protect himself. He is still more than able to recall is corpo-personality at will and put himself back into that mindset if need be, but usually only does so if it can grant him an edge in a tense situation.
It’s rare to see his mask lift at all when he’s around people he does not know well. If something happens that causes him to drop his guard, the next disaster getting out of control, someone he cares about getting hurt – you’ll get a rare glimpse of a more real, and much more vulnerable V than the way he presents himself.
When he’s alone or solely around a small group of people he feels a close connection to he is more likely to let down his walls, is more softspoken and allows himself to show weakness and emotions that he’d usually hide out of fear of them being used against him. He is a lot more goofy in private than in public settings, too.

Let’s blast Pink Guy - STFU on a cellphone’s max volume or connected speakers whenever a miracupologist refuses to listen to reason when the evidence is there. It’ll be a funny prank/lesson if they dare spread propaganda and misinformation. Let’s see them try that shit at a crowded con or anywhere in public, someone should do the honors of putting that song right in their eardrums. They’ll leave in a walk of shame lol.
Can’t take these miraclowns seriously anymore since mid-2022 lmfao. Thank goodness most online users are smarter than them these days.
The miracucircus might as well make the MHA group look tame despite the latter having more of a cringe side. MHA fandom never drove someone to off themselves over hated/controversial characters, they’d prefer to whine a lot and not actually threaten others.
TVTropes has really became a place for a collection of “well written” character bashing fics of many fictional media. Blast that song at them too, the staff are more concerned about “overall good behavior” and “extra attention given to some pages”.
Double standards from what I’ve seen so far by these saltfic writers:
MLcunts when Marinette is sad/hurt: “You poor girl! You deserve a break from all your hard work!”
MLcunts when Adrien is sad/hurt: “Suck it up wuss! Weren’t you acting tough in your superhero persona!? You don’t even have a backbone!”
MLbitches when a character of another franchise has a tragic backstory regardless of race/age/sexuality: “Oh no, that poor baby deserves to be protected!”
MLbitches when Adrien has a tragic backstory: “Uh what tragedy? You’re just a white rich boy with minimal to no issues! Don’t compare yours to others that’ve actually suffered more! You pathetic attention seeker!”
Miracuidiots when another franchise’s male character makes a minor or even major error: “Hey it’s ok, those people don’t understand the hard choice(s) you had to make. Don’t push yourself too hard.”
Miracuidiots when Adrien makes a minor or major error: “WTF!? You ruined everything! You deserve to have your miraculous taken away forever!”
Miracutwats when a male character is exhibiting negative traits: “He just wants to be loved! He didn’t mean that! He didn’t know any better!”
Miracutwats when Adrien exhibits his negative traits: “(Sexual) Harasser! Spoiled brat! Spineless! Weakling!”
Miracuhoes when a character has a minor injury even if their regeneration is that great: “Are you ok!? Do you need anything to eat!? Where does it hurt!?”
Miracuhoes even when Adrien is that injured: “Eh whatever, Ladybug will cure you after she’s done fighting the Akuma. Stop being a lil crybaby bitch.”
hmmhmmhmmhmmhmmhmmhmm
Ratio them Miracuhoes, those true wastes of functioning organs.

I had this thought before I started getting into RTC and I watched a production of it last night and the idea resurfaced so here are my thoughts about it,
When I first watched it I thought in this hypothetical au Annie would be a good Ocean, as they both heavily care about their academic record (didn't Annie like drug the study group for their anthropology finale(???) and Ocean talks abt her academics alot and uses it as "proof" for why she should be chosen) also this doesn't matter but in the most well-know rtc production ( the one with Emily rohm I believe as Jane Doe and Tiffany Trateau as Ocean I believe (?)
Tumblr media
(this one)
Ocean and Annie do sound kinda similar (it's not relevant but thought it should be included)
My next thought was to have Abed in a Ricky type role as Ricky's title before his song, his "The most imaginative boy in town",
And Abed shown to be imaginative ((maybe not in the best way as evidence by geothermal escapism and Virtual System Analysis (the dreamatorium ep) but also with his movies as while yes they are typically documentaries he does get creative with them ( Jesus Abed ))
So I guess it wouldn't be too out of the question for him to have his song be about sexy cat women from Zolar ( as shown in 'For a few more paitballs')
The next is kinda less clear but bear with me,
So out of all the study group Annie/Ocean & Abed/Ricky is the most obvious I think the next character would be Pierce as Karnak (( idk what rtc fandom thinks of Karnak but either way I like him and feel bad for him)feelings on Pierce are less clear)
Considering the fact in the musical, Karank states Virgil as his executor as they both die at the end,
Considering this and how eventually Ricky leaves the competition, I feel rather than have abed leave it would make sense for it to be Troy, considering in the show because of Pierce he leaves (he would still be there just leave the competition like rtc)
I think Jeff as a Mischa as he tries to portray the 'tough cool guy' persona however it's just a persona, kinda like how Mischa is seen as angry -and he is don't get me wrong- but he's not just angry, kinda like how Jeff isn't just some 'cool suave guy who is never uncool' so I think there could be some great parallels to that.
I also think rather than 'Whoever gets chosen is brought back from the dead' could be replaced with something more meta,
Such as: 'whoever gets the most votes gets their character saved' something along those lines as while it's Jane Doe who gets brought back, no one from the study group is similar to her so to rework it, whoever gets chosen actually gets the chance to not be assassinated (character-wise)
So this could be either Shirley or Britta, both women in the show who have either had their character ruined or just never written well in the first place.
How this would work out I'm not sure, but this is just a rough idea if I do continue this idea.
Troy, Noel and Constance are a bit more confusing,
If we were to have Troy as Noel rather than the french prostitute thing, following "The most romantic boy in town" it could be him fantasizing about some dream ideal life (I'm not a big trobed shipper, however I think it might ever so slightly incorporated as Troy , trying to follow Jeff, so he acts all "manly" this could tie into either internalised homophobia or just repressing his actual personality to fit in w the 'cool' crowd)
So I think overall he works better as Constance as at the end of the musical, she says "there's nothing wrong with being the nicest girl in town"
I think that could work well for Troy as when we first see him, it's the 'cool jock' persona he has but he eventually grows comfortable being his nerdy self,
For Noel ultimately I think Shirley is gonna have his role ( would've preferred her as Jane but oh well)
As Noel imagines as life he will never have (Monique Gibeau, in post-war France) this could work well for Shirley as she imagines a life where maybe she didn't marry André, and doesn't need to worry about just being a mom and wife (while Shirley does love her kids I'm not sure if it's said she wanted to be a mother might just not bring up her kids as it's a kinda complex subject matter)
This would leave Britta as Jane Doe which could work really well I think, as if we're following my meta concept, and how in the musical Jane doesn't really know how to act in a way ( constantly freaks everyone out by behaviour she views as" normal ") change this to Britta having a sort of identity crisis ( work in being revived from character assassination and actually be well written) is something I could see working out in a great way.
A rtc community au I feel would slap idk tho

General dating headcanons for 2012 Mikey, Donnie, Raph, Leo, and Splinter?
General dating head canons for the 2012 TMNT!
Summary: as said in the title! This General dating headcanons for 2012 Mikey,Donnie,Raph,Leo,and splinter!
Daily song suggestion that ( kinda ) fits with the theme!
Sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes! And sorry if they are OOC
Warnings!: This might be a bit bad sense I haven’t watched the show in a few years so this is all based on memory I apologize!
Fandom: Tmnt
Tumblr media
🐢Donnie💜
I’m gonna be honest with you he’s probably a simp for you ngl like bro has hearts in his eyes around you- his brothers most likely tease him for it
Mikey always somehow in someway ruins a moment you two are having, about to kiss? Mikey’s doing something idiotic and you both have to make sure he isn’t going to hurt himself- you always laugh it off while Donnie probably mops  about his lost chance with you 💀
He loves talking about his machinery and inventions aswell as some things he’s planning to get to make some new inventions! He mostly only talks to you about sense your the only one listening without spacing off or telling him to stop
Probably goes to April for some dating advice sense your probably his first relationship and he doesn’t know what he’s doing, But he wants to get some in sight to make sure he’s at least doing something right
Let’s you watch him work on his inventions! But he makes sure your at a safe distance where you can’t get burned or hurt by any parts or things he’s using
He’s a doofus sometimes, he try’s to impress you and ends up making a bit of a fool of himself, but you find it adorable!
He likes putting his bandanna on you cause you look adorable with it on his own words not mine
Such a cute honey pie honestly he loves you with all his heart and don’t take that lightly he truly does!
🐢Raph❤️
Mikey slander. That’s it you just watch him slander Mikey
He’s rough and strong infront of his brothers but with you he starts lowering his tough guy persona, don’t get me wrong this man will never ambit he’s soft but you can tell especially when you guys are alone together hanging out
He lets you pet his turtle and feed him both of you for some reason love watching the lil guy eat while just chatting about your day!
He teaches you some self defense moves so when he’s not around he knows you’ll at least put up a good fight, he gets a bit worried sometimes surprisingly so you’ll have to reassure him your fine
He loves when you take care of any scars or marks he has after a particular hard fight, Though he might be in some pain it relaxes him to know your there for him, also he trusts you a lot so, this shows troughs this act
Like Donnie he’s probably a simp for you BUT he’s better at hiding it sometimes he does slip up though and shows it Mikey teased him relentlessly until raph snapped and started chasing the man- you had to step in and try defusing the situation
R.I.P to any one of his brothers if they tried teasing you in front of him, this man will defend you with his last breath Some of them had to learn that the hard way
Over all sweetheart but doesn’t show it much he still loves you though even if it’s hard to show <3
🐢Mikey🧡
Spams you with memes at 3AM so might wanna turn off your notifications 💀
A menace tbh
Very energetic! Keeping up with this guy sometimes seems impossible! his adorableness makes up for that for sure, I mean who could be mad at him? Look at him!
Uses you as a meat shield from his brothers. Dude will come at you in full speed before ducking behind you and grabbing your sides to move you around as raph tries getting him to drop you and fight like a “man” so be prepared for that
Sometimes he can be an idiot but in a cute way!
I feel like he love’s physical affection so hugging,cuddling,handholding,etc! He likes to hold your hand and swing it as you guys walk together it’s honestly adorable- he also loves giving you hugs from the side randomly trough out the day!
Sometimes after some rough fights he loves to cuddle up with you as you kiss his head and complement him for his hard work, it makes him feel appreciated and loved! He also loves playing mini games with you on his free time! Like hiding seek or tag
Splinter sometimes scolds him for skipping training to hang out with you while Mikey just laughs it off, He’d be more careful sneaking off to you cause he doesn’t wanna get you in trouble too
Does that thing where you poke someone over and over again and saying their name again and again till they pay attention to you, it can be annoying sometimes but it’s honestly adorable how happy he gets when you finally give him attention! You cant stayed annoyed too long he doesn’t mean to be annoying…… at least sometimes….
Overall he’s a very energetic boyfriend! He’s sweet though! And he tires his best for you so just keep that in mind!
🐢Leo💙
I feel like he’s the chillest boyfriend out of this list
He likes showing off the new moves splinter taught him! He takes you trough each step of learning it even if you won’t use it he still likes explaining it!
Like Raph Leo teaches you some defense moves! But just the basics nothing to much only punching,kicking,dodging, etc
He likes discussing he’s plans with you! He also likes your in put if he should fix or rearrange some things in the plan to make it work more efficiently
He likes to lay his head on your lap as he rambles on about his day and his brothers, but would also love to hear how you day has been going!
sense he’s a mutant he can’t really take you on date to fancy restaurants or arcades or the mall sense it would draw so much attention- so! He makes a make shift date with a table two seats/pillows, some pizza, and a few roses he managed to pick in the night from a random garden he found.
He loves to watch films with you and just chill out in the layer while eating pizza or playing a game!
Overall hes one of the more chill boyfriend’s outta all of them at least in my headcanon but he’s still fun to hand out with! Especially when you guys go out ( at night of course) and just chill in the empty almost abandoned parks
Splinter
(This one might be a bit short)
Okay so! I feel like he lets you watch him and the turtles train new moves and such!
He likes embarrassing them infront of you by saying some sassy re mark or something else in that nature of course no harm done! Just a little funny comment
He’s a gentleman for sure you know opening doors for you, kissing your hand,and other things
I feel like he has baby pictures of the four turtles after they mutated and looked like lil baby’s it’s honestly adorable he especially likes doing this infront of them as you gush about how cute they were as kids, they get super embarrassed
I feel like he would teach some moves but unlike the rest he’d actually show you some more hard ones just incase,he does have a lot of enemy’s so I’d be dangerous if they knew splinter had a new lover, even more dangerous if they knew it was you
He meditates a lot so I feel like he would let you join if your up for it!, it’s really calming and relaxing it’s also a way to get away from the 4 almost always fighting turtles
I feel like the turtles see you as a second parental figure like a mom/dad/parent which splinter is pleased to find out!
He lets you brush your fingers trough his fur, it’s actually really soft surprisingly!
Tumblr media
Sorry this took so long I apologize! Also sorry if they are OOC sense ( like I said in the beginning!) I haven’t watched the show in a while but I hope you enjoyed either way!

Don’t get my wrong, I love Matt…but these last two episodes, Daemon’s entire persona just isn’t a vibe. Again, I love him & he’s my favorite character so far. But the lack of screen time during pivotal scenes between him & Rhaenyra…he feels like he’s just there, ya know? I really just thinks it’s the directors fault, though!
Daemon and his vulnerability
Dear anon
Well in the ep. 6 he was clearly depressed and that may be the explanation for his behavior but in the ep.7...
I'm pretty sure Matt is following orders from the director because that's the only explanation for so many people seeing him that way during the episode 7.
Like Emma, ​​Matt has a natural charisma and a magnetic aura of sensuality. They may not be the most pretty people in the cast (again, it's all because of the media guys) but they are definitely the most attractive actors. Anyone can be aesthetically beautiful, but only a few can be attractive and that is more important than physical appearance.
But apparently Sapochnik went to great lengths to hide that attractiveness.
Do you remember that scene in episode 5, when Daemon suddenly walked into the banquet looking like a god because his strong sex appeal? That scene left us all breathless and it was just Matt walking into a room, it shouldn't be a big deal, but HE MAKES IT A BIG DEAL.
Matt in ep. 7 looks dark, sexy, romantic and seductive but you, me and almost everyone know that is not his true potential.
And do you know why I think Sapochnik made him behave like that?
Because he wants Daemon to be a cool guy, a handsome bad boy and a cold antihero, the typical hollow stereotype. Someone who doesn't quite show his feelings of vulnerability because he's "too cool for school".
Although many say that he was sad about Laena's death (something completely understandable) to many people it does not seem so. To most of us he seemed only cold and indifferent. Even for me, a huge fan of Daemyra and Matt.
Do you know which characters remind me of Daemon? Prince Philip from The Crown and Loki.
Both characters are cheeky, sexy, charismatic men with grumpy personalities who are often seen as the stereotypical cool and bad guy. But both Loki and Philip were very well written and developed characters precisely because they showed their vulnerability and their feelings.
They are both strong men (Philip is very masculine) but in emotional moments they show their vulnerability.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Matt tries at all the time to express that vulnerability because he knows his character perfectly but Sapochnik ruins it by moving the camera away from his face and not showing us his facial and body expressions in the most critical moments. All because he wants to make Daemon look like a "tough guy".
It would have been wonderful for me to see Daemon cry. Cry just a little or with only slightly teary eyes. For his years of sadness and depression, for losing his friend Laena, for the pain of his daughters, for having left the woman he loved alone with her enemies, for his brother, for happiness perhaps for marrying or having sex with Rhaenyra.
Even Rhaenyra lets out a small tear when she watches her childhood friend try to gouge out one of her children's eyes and then that friend spits all her hate in her face.
Expressing vulnerability is one of the most attractive things about a person.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We've already seen Daemon's vulnerability when he tenderly rests his head on the shoulders of Viserys, Misarya and Caraxes or how he looks confused and overwhelmed by his emotions when he kisses Rhaenyra.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Daemon seems to only come out in the wedding scene and I hope it was to show from that point on that he will no longer be the cold, tormenting man we saw in the ep. 7 and instead he will be presented like a strong man who can command an army but who can also show a little affection to his wife and children.

That Sr lunch discussion except the conversation was actually interrupted SRs ex bc I live for drama
honestly that'd go beyond drama... it'd be escalating into a full force conflict.
as always, link to scarlet ribbons for anyone who comes across this and is ???
you'd think giorno would be the voice of reason here. the one to hold down the fort while all hell breaks loose. well, you'd be thinking wrong; the dio genes really start popping up. he becomes a smug little instigator. stirs the pot at every opportunity. that ex is going to know they are most definitely not welcome around these parts, especially if they strolled into libeccio and sought you out. may or may not turn a button of theirs into a mosquito. or a tick. whatever it is that’d make their day worse. you’ll be absolutely none the wiser, however, giorno covers his hidden motives with his charismatic smile. 
bucciarati is going to assume the burden of being mature. it’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it. he’s honestly more concerned over your feelings on the ordeal than establishing his machismo. he’ll quietly ask if you want him to intervene or allow matters to play out on their own, honoring whatever it is you decide. bruno is curious to know just what kind of person it is you’re romantically interested in... it’s useful information for his future endeavors. he can’t say he’s impressed with your taste thus far. but that’s okay, once he sweeps you off your feet, your taste will have improved tenfold. notices giorno turning one of their buttons into a mosquito and says absolutely nothing. 
fugo is more confused over what you saw in this random shmuck?? he's been trying to get in your good graces for years and this person somehow managed to do it? he bets they're not even half as smart as he is. smh. do they know how to do calculus in record time? probably not. you know who does? hint, the answer is him. he does. he’ll even show you and beam once you compliment his math prowess. he’s got a hair-trigger temper though. the second they enter a close enough radius to your person, he’ll be seeing red. he’s got enough competition with the others on the team (who he has dubbed the peanut gallery), he doesn’t need some shmuck strolling in and adding to his numbers. purple haze is more than content to turn them into a boiling pile of goop should it be necessary.
narancia is whipping out his switchblade in record time. gets the tough guy persona going, asking if they wanna “take a walk”, then glancing over to you to see if you thought his delivery was cool (you give a tentative thumbs up). it doesn’t matter if you were together for one month or one year, narancia gets freaked out by the thought of some stranger touching you. gross. no one other than him can do that. to say he’s envious is an understatement. he automatically assumes that the person is up to no good, even if you ended the relationship on decent terms and they’re just stopping by to say hi. postulates that they could be a stand user. you say they’re dressed too normal to be one. honestly, the entire experience ruins his day. he’ll probably be muttering under his breath and kicking rocks the entire walk home. 
cue the music. mista does this semi creepy song and dance where he slings an arm around them, acts real chummy, all so they can get a good view of the pistol hidden in his boot. he’s ready to duel for your honor. give him a time, a place, and he’ll be there. you need to gently explain to mista that they don’t need a bullet in their head, he can put the gun away. anytime now. preferably sooner than later because he’s making a bit of a scene. after the poor soul is sufficiently scared off, they can expect to be greeted by none other than guido mista, obscured by an alleyway’s shadow. their life flashes in front of their eyes, probably thinking this is the end for them. mista just quietly asks them what kind of pickup lines work best on you. 
abbacchio honestly has no interest in interacting with them. he thinks the fact they have to be in giorno’s presence for any length of time is punishment enough. if the poor soul tries to interact with abbacchio, to better understand the people you’re hanging around these days, all bets are off. abbacchio has a menacing death stare that radiates pure hatred. looks at him with the same disgust one would a spider in their shower, yet maintains his indifference. it’s a double-pronged attack. he’ll start belittling them to their face in ways that aren’t that apparent at first. the kind of talk that you wouldn’t realize until a few hours later. he gets his kicks in then goes back to shutting them out.

normally in that sort of scenario ed would just make his request sound like a threat to mask his insecurity and make it less likely that he'll be refused, but in this case he can't do that because if izzy's scared of him because of things he did as that other guy he can deny it but if izzy's scared of him for something he does right now it's harder to avoid and it'll ruin everything
normally in that sort of scenario izzy would give some excuse to distance his true wants from the rejection in question and make it a little easier for ed to grant his request while keeping their tough guy personas intact, but in this case his brain is a little fried from months of running on empty and abuse and also he's no longer confident that he knows ed well enough that even if he was at full faculty he could manage to say something ed wants to hear
:)
headcanon that during the kraken era ed had brief periods of not wanting to make himself feel worse, and during those times he would sleep in izzy's room, in izzy's bed, beside izzy instead of alone in the awful gutted out captain's cabin
accompanying headcanon that izzy never once even considered trying to turn him away even though he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep - partly out of hypervigilance, of course, but also because when ed is clean-faced and stubbly and asleep he looks exactly like the man he used to be back when izzy was certain they were in love

Soo... how would the Bad Batch react to a S/O that has a very snarky/dry sense of humor? Just always cracking jokes and finding humor in everything? (Love ur content btw <3)
Thank you for your request!!! And THANK YOU IM GLAD U LIKEY!!!!
Ok I have seen this but knew it would take me hours to write so I was waiting for the write moment! (get it? write = right? teehee) talk about a terribly dry sense of humour my goodness.
How Would The Bad Batch React to a Snarky/Witty/Dry Sense of Humour Significant Other (s/o)
Factz: Not even kidding, I feel like the boys would kill for a hella sassy partner in crime.
Hunter
Oh my gosh they are literally best friends!!! They speak in a very similar style to each other.
Hunter expects a little bit of snark from Cross, sarcasm from Echo, and quips from Tech, but when his s/o just dishes his dry humour right back at him the first time they meet, he's like "Why was that so... hot???"
So from then on, most of the dialogue exchanged between the two of them are like super sassy comments and witty replies, until it unintentionally gradually morphs into really heavy flirting. They get so into teasing each other, the whole batch can feel the tension in the air.
Of course both are oblivious of this for the longest time.
But when eventually they do figure it out and get together, the whole batch sigh in relief thinking "finally this intense pining is over"... But it actually just gets worse?
So now during missions, the two of you verbally dance around each other like you're in some comeback war.
In the middle of a serious mission:
Hunter: "I need you here now!"
S/O: "wow wow Hunter. babe. cool your jets. i know we haven't really done it in a while but we're in the middle of a mission and-"
Hunter: "As much as I love how you think mesh'la, I think you're misreading the situation."
His s/o also keeps ruining his *tough guy* persona. During briefs, his s/o keeps making him crack his skillfully honed poker face.
The teasing through dry humour is just a really fun and goofy way to connect to each other and is their common ground of affection.
Tech
We all know Tech is a witty boi, and man do we love him for it!
Tech finds his s/o's attitude quite entertaining.
He does like it when they use their snarkiness to defend him from people that give him a hard time, but he like his s/o's humour best when it's just the two of them having fun.
I feel like Tech would find it 10x funnier if his s/o was also really smart and able to understand his technical language, because they just pass these really witty/funny quips back and forth to each other that are actually hilarious but no one understands. It's like their own hidden language.
Now we've seen Tech smile and m a y b e chuckle a little before?? But so far, we've yet to see Tech actually laugh and I headcanon that Tech snorts when he laughs. (Has anybody seen the live action TMNT?? Kinda like how Donnie laughs in those). So ohmiGOSH it's so WhOlEsOmE when his s/o makes Tech laugh!! He's so CUTE!
The rest of the batch will be out getting supplies while Echo works of the exterior hull of the ship and Tech and his s/o fix up the systems inside.
Tech laying under a panel: "Hm, this wire seems to be adhered to a far less efficient arrangement." Tech's s/o wordlessly shuffles over from their panel to analyse the problem. Their shoulders touch as they lie side by side.
S/o: "Mm, I think you're right, but see here? It looks like it's been manually transfigured. Probably by Echo in one of our many quick fixes. It looks like he's done it so he can easily access and program the flight module."
Tech: "I'm going to rewire it to-"
S/o: "To that one right?" His s/o says, suppressing a smile as they point to clearly the wrong wiring. Tech's eyes narrow and his brow furrows.
Tech: "Of course not! That would compromise the-" He catches a glimpse of his s/o's cheeky grin, "oh you're joking." His s/o bursts out laughing and he can't help the smile that stretches over his face as he shakes his head.
By the end of the repairs, the batch come back to find you both practically rolling on the ground in snorting fits of laughter.
Their humour paired with their competence makes them super attractive to him.
Wrecker
Wrecker finds his s/o's dry humour the funniest thing in the galaxy. He is one of those blessings that will always laugh at your jokes.
Which is a relief cuz I have dry humour and almost no one ever laughs at my jokes rip.
I mean, you guys saw how he reacted in ep 1 when Omega DeStRoYeD those regs in the mess hall. He was so proud and supportive of her.
So yeah he's pretty much his s/o's hype man.
He loves that his s/o's humour means that they quite enjoy playful competition and games. So they're always playing random games together, even going so far as to arm wrestle (S/o: "But we both already know who's going to win... Me. Obviously.")
And sometimes he will let his s/o win, just because he thinks it's so cute when they start flexing their arms and boasting about how strong and amazing they are.
He knows they're joking. He knows they know he let them win. But even though they've never really beaten him, he still thinks they're strong and amazing.
There is always friendly banter between the two but what Wrecker loves the most is how easy his s/o makes things for him.
He's not a natural at romance, and often finds himself making mistakes or he might do something a little awkwardly. But instead of being mad, disappointed, or judgmental, his s/o just smiles or laughs it off and walks him through things.
He feels like he can always be himself around his s/o.
Crosshair
Again, it's canon and fanon that Cross is a bit of a grumpy pants so he obviously finds his s/o's wit irritating at first. Which his s/o finds annoying, so his s/o just does it more just to get under his skin.
Totally enemies to lovers trope. I see it no other way. FiGhT me.
His s/o would make jokes all the time but I see that one day, his s/o makes a dry joke and he gives them crap for it, and they've just had enough and so they absolutely *slam* him with snark, sass, and wit that cannot be rivalled by Crosshair himself. They get right up into his face; tension as thick as s o u p.
And then he just grabs their face and makes out with them.
His s/o's like "ok" and totally rolls with it.
The Bad Batch wonder why they don't fight as much anymore (not that they're complaining).
Now they both use their sass to bully the regs.
They kinda become this unbeatable pair of unrivalled attitude. Unlike Hunter and his s/o who use it to tease each other, while Cross and his s/o do that a little too, they mostly direct their humour and sarcasm outward. Cross's s/o is a little more good natured than him though and will pull him in when he goes a bit too far.
He generally finds his s/o's humour quite funny now (though he'll never admit it), and the fact that he smiles a little more doesn't go unnoticed by his brothers.
Echo
Ok while Hunter is master of the dry humour, Echo is KING of sarcasm.
Having said that, I feel like Echo would actually far more appreciate light humour over sass/snark/wit/etc.
I think after being through the crap he's been through, echo baby just needs a light hearted, positive beam of sunshine in his life and his s/o is it.
He loves that his s/o always has a way of making others laugh and smile, even on really hard missions and in rough times.
I think his s/o having a lighter humour also makes him feel safer. Like there's no chance of miscommunication whereby this s/o accidently hits a sensitive topic. His s/o sticks to surface level humour which makes it easy to digest.
They are also absolutely fantastic at telling funny stories which is a real treat when his s/o will retell stories about some of the missions the Bad Batch has done and they just execute the story perfectly.
Echo is in love with his s/o's laugh and thinks it's so cute when they giggle at their own jokes.
He'll never say it, but his s/o's humour sometimes reminds Echo of Fives and Cutup, which is a bit bittersweet for him.
They say that "a joyful heart is good medicine" and for Echo that couldn't be more true. His s/o's joyful heart and nature revive and heal him. He is so much happier because of them and will tell them so in between little kisses as his s/o giggles playfully at his gentle yet eager ministrations.
