S/o Scared of Bugs

Now, I attempt writing some fluff

Still testing the waters with this series :)

Things are probably a little OOC

Also, this post was the inspiration behind this piece.

Mikey

His poor flip flops carry the dead souls of bugs

Let’s be honest, Mikey is too lazy to do his hair most of the time.

I doubt those shoes look nice. -

And you're probably the one who needs to clean them, sorry about that.

Mikey also turns it into his favorite way to tease you, sneaking his fingers over your arms like a bug just to freak you out.

Definitely never going to let it down, but always plays knight in shining armor if you freak out over a "creepy-crawly".

-

Daylight brushed past the curtains as you lounged on a chair, mindlessly scrolling away on your phone while your boyfriend did his own thing. As if to mark today as boring a little… thing… dropped from the ceiling onto your phone.

The second your eyes saw the bug, both the phone and the bug were flying from your hands as you pulled yourself completely onto the chair. The high pitch yelp alerted Mikey. who ran full force, thinking somebody was hurting you and had broken in. “Teddy-bear something wrong?” Watching you nod and point before mumbling words about some kind of bug, he began to laugh. Unable to hold in the amusement over this, he got his flip-flop from the door and shoved the phone from the creature, before ending the life of the poor bug… on the carpet of all things. “There, all gone. Who knew you’d freak out over a little creepy-crawly.” he’d snicker, bringing the flip-flop close to you before you ran off and he set it back where it belonged with the rest of the outdoor shoes.

Baji

He’s mean

Very mean about the fact you’re scared of bugs.

This man will not only tease, but pull the worst of pranks to watch you shriek.

This includes, but is not limited to, placing the plastic toys in your lamp and waiting for you to notice and holler.

He does the same with living bugs too, purposely picks me off the ground to bring to you, trying to tell you “look, aren’t these just adorable?” while you grimace and walk away.

The first time Baji found out you hated bugs was when you were hanging out after school back in elementary. The two of you gossiping and just being kids when something crawled over one of the building blocks and you shrieked. It was natural to jump behind your friend and scream at him to kill it.

Baji being Baji did not kill it at first. Instead, with his bare hands, he picked the centipede up, letting it crawl in his cupped hands as he smirked, snickered, and turned towards you. He proceeded to chase you around until you seemed to be about to cry, before he let the thing out the window. He apologized a bunch as you pouted and sniffled. Even long into the teen years of dating, he occasionally scares you before squashing the bug. He swears, one day he will get you to at least tolerate the things. “Not like it’s gonna hurt ya dumb-ass.” is probably his favorite line while trying to apologize for scaring the daylights outta you.

~

Hanma

Oh, Lord-

He’s worse than Baji

Except he doesn’t prank you.

He purposely leaves bugs around so he “can be the hero”

And he knows that you’re aware that he does it.

You can scold him as many times as you want, even lightly shove his shoulder when you get pouty after clinging to him after he squashes the life of some bug.

He has no remorse for the creatures, killing them is as fun as hitting somebody with the way you react to it.

If you honestly hate it, he’d probably stop… probably?

Lounging over your boyfriend's lap as he worked, going through business emails, you were clearly bored and in need of some attention. Imagine your surprise when you spotted a spider on the other end of the couch as you glanced from your phone. Yelping and tumbling off the couch to hide behind Hanma, you pointed and glared. “Kill it…”

Hanma only looked up, confused, from his laptop, before his eyes settled on the spider crawling down the length of the couch arm. “Really… it's a spider? It’s a small inconvenience…”

“It’s a creepy furry little demon with eight legs, fangs, and too many eyes!” Hanma smirks, dipping his head back to reach for your lips, slyly and purposely letting the spider mind its own business.

“Aww~ my little doll’s scared of spiders~” he hums with such sickening teasing it does make you pause for a moment before pulling back before he can steal a kiss.

“Hanma Shuji! Kill it, or I swear I'm going to bed early tonight!” He rolls his eyes, glancing around and tossing something at it. Too lazy to squish it himself.

“There, it’s dead darling~” Oh, he’s going to tease you about this one for years.

lesbianboostergold replied to your post:

I think that’s maybe the part that bugs me the...

yeah like I think that’s what I hate about the arc the most is when he’s vulnerable they honestly abandon him?? like….tis fucked up

Its a plot hole the size of the Grand Canyon, and it blows my mind that nobody at DC saw it, or else they did and just didn’t care. Like, the dude was just kidnapped a couple years ago by the big universal threat specifically BECAUSE he’s so well connected and like...the weak spot of so many heroes. 

It doesn’t matter if HE doesn’t remember being a vigilante, just like it never mattered if he ever became one again, like....he has a shit ton of enemies who would love to settle scores with him whether he knows why they want him dead or not, and there are still plenty of people who know his identity and it only takes one to come sniffing around and find out he doesn’t remember shit and thus has absolutely no reason to be wary of them.

Whether it was the Court or someone else, this was literally inevitable, because well....they wanted to do this stupid “Dick FINALLY becomes a Talon” plot and it is so easily prevented just by like...a conversation about how hey keep your eyes out for this crowd because of these reasons....so, instead they just cut all contact between him and his family, because its literally the only way to FORCE this plot to happen.

But really it just makes EVERYONE wildly ooc, and he’s the only one who actually has an excuse. Ric couldn’t possibly know the danger he was putting himself in when he asked to be left alone, because he didn’t even have the CONTEXT to understand just how many enemies he had and what they could do to him/wanted from him. But his family absolutely did know all of that, and this is like, the ONE scenario in which they’d be justified in infringing on his privacy if only to lightly keep tabs on him, checking in on him every now and then without him knowing or like, having their own alarms in place or something like that.

And they really want us to believe that King Paranoia himself just...was like, well if that’s what you want, okee dokee, and didn’t give a second look back? Babs didn’t plant a tracker or something just so she’d have that comfort/security of knowing he was still out there somewhere and they could get to him if they absolutely had to in a hurry. Tim “I refuse to lose any more loved ones” Drake doesn’t have some kind of security protocols he set up in Bludhaven to let him know if there’s any sign of supervillain activity there (like, a vigilante pinned to the wall with a message about the original Nightwing written in blood next to it, lmao). Damian’s not popping by every now and then to glare ominously at these pretenders and try to decide if today’s the day he breaks Bruce’s edict to keep away, and teaches the usurpers a lesson in respect?

But nah. 

And like, it’d be one thing if it were just a bad story, with bad characterizations....but like with Spyral, its a story that’s inevitably going to have long lasting repercussions....specifically BECAUSE of the ooc-twisting the writers did to set in motion the plot points they wanted to play with. And that’s just...such lazy, horrible writing. Across the board. Like Nightwing #30, after Forever Evil, was such a ridiculous, contrived piece of crap, with Bruce being just...utterly unrecognizable, because that was the only way the set up they wanted to segue to next could even happen at all. But long after Grayson itself is finished, we still have fans blaming Dick for the ooc scenario he was written into, and the only defense for him is to point to the over the top Bruce stuff that prompted it, and so which ever way you cut it, their relationship is damaged for years afterwards, from one direction or the other.

Now we’ll have some fans blaming Dick for ‘not letting’ his family be around to help keep him from falling for Cobb’s manipulations, with again, the only defense being to point at his family and be like well what the fuck is wrong with all of them that they just....didnt keep ANY sort of tabs on him at all when they knew what the stakes were way better than Ric possibly could have?

One way or another, characters look like shitty assholes, and not even because of fallout of a story itself, and difficult decisions within it...but in order to even START a story and get it in motion. And it makes reading that story utterly pointless, because no matter how good its twist and turns or dramatic moments (if they manage any) within it.....we’re all still sitting here going like yeah, but how is any of that even worth it when the endgame is still going to be either Dick or his family blaming each other for the shit that could have easily been avoided, except you the writers wouldn’t let it be avoided and also you couldn’t take ten seconds to try and configure an actual scenario that got you to the end point you wanted without sacrificing everyone’s character and dynamics along the way.

DC plz hire writers who understand even the most fundamental BASICS of storytelling, I am begging you lmfao.

Eyes:  Left pale silvery green, Right is a vibrant emerald green

Height: 6′5

Build: Lithe and athletic

Distinguishing Marks: Startlingly vibrant green in his right eye, but his left is a strange silvery green that seems to shift between the colors. His left arm is bandaged all the way up towards his shoulder. From fingertip to the seal binding it together. The bandages have arcane markings on them that shift and shape themselves, almost dizzying to the eye. It is heavily fortified, protective and unusual, but what lay underneath is anyone’s guess.He is also a bit slow to react on his left side, for his eye is actually blind to physical sight. He can see living energies and magic, but not as shapes that would be immediately recognized like his right eye can see it as.

Relationship Tendencies: Khell hasn’t had much luck in love, in fact, he has never been in love period. He tends to throw his whole heart into things, open and honest about everything, even when he feels like crap. He can be indecisive, but he always tries for the people he cares for even if he stutters and things are a bit awkward. He is affectionate and an absolute cuddle bug. It takes a bit for him to pull his confidence from his hat and more dominant personalities will find him taking a step back as support whereas more submissive will find him taking point instead.

RP Hooks ––– –

Clan Embervale, if you knew his father, Khell looks almost like a spitting image of him and his father was a common face at many public events before the player died March 2018.

The Dragonlore Enclave, once a member of this guild. If you or someone you know happened to know of or be part of this guild, then you knew Vyndrallian and Erialin and thus Khell as well or at least knew of him.

Magical Intrigue, Khell is known to make crystaline creations, usually small animals or insects. Some are inert and pretty, some are active and some are active and tied to him with strings that allow him to see, hear and manipulate things with. So maybe you are seeking him for one or maybe you happen to see him sitting somewhere making glittering things to pass the time.

HOW TO CONTACT:

OoC: Message me here in a DM if you’d like.

IC: In WoW my main toon is Shaiandra, feel free to add her as a friend and message me or just spam /who for her or Koraevyn. I like walk ups and Kora is friendly and loves an audience. Keep in mind that he will turn down offers for casual flings and I will block people if they make things weird. Other than that, feel free to hit me up and I look forward to meeting you!

CLASSIC NOVELIST AESTHETICS tagged by: @ finestprize

JOHN KEATS. the lavender in sunsets, flowers in the rain, sunlight slipping through clouds,  lazy summer afternoons, the heavy scent of musk, flickering candlelight reflecting off the gold titles of books,  fireflies on a cool summer night, being wrapped in fresh bed sheets, the ache of wanting what you can never have, dripping sunlight like gold,  loving someone so exquisite,  soft lips and soft whispers, fingers through hair, names of lovers carved in trees, broken glass,  the insistence of being perpetually dreamy.

F. SCOTT FITZGERALD.   crisp winter skies with cold bright stars,  mahogany wood, the solitude of an early autumn morning wrapped in fog,  empty bottles on stacks and stacks of books haphazardly placed in a messy room,  bruised arms reaching out into the darkness,  cigarette smoke just barely hiding the scent of alcohol,  a wall of books all poetry and old and weathered, the way tragedy strikes in your heart but ends up stopping your breathing for a moment,  your favorite sweater, parties spilling into four a.m. with the stars above spinning and dancing, the contrast of blood against snow,  a purple split lip oozing blood,  black eyes fading to blue to pale skin,  the butterflies of falling in love for the first time, the statues falling apart over time in cemeteries,  the romanticization of self-destruction.

FRANZ KAFKA.  the weight of dread that sits heavily in your stomach when thinking about the future,  decrepit houses cloaked in mystery from children telling stories of people who died there,  the way not even light can escape a black hole, the rich smell of old books, delicate veins in the wrist, ghosts filling lungs,  shattered bones,  raindrops on the tongue,  rusting metal, nostalgia that aches,  the way hope feels like a plastic bag over your head.

H.P. LOVECRAFT.   the anxiety felt when staring into an unknown cave,  pouring rain and mud, a child’s fear of the dark,  thinking so many questions about your existence as you stare at the vast expanse of never-ending ocean,  the silence of three a.m.,  ouija boards and urban legends. (WHO WROTE THIS???? HAVE YOU EVER OBSESSIVELY POURED OVER HP LOVECRAFT LIKE I HAVE??? THIS SUCKS!!! THESE ARE NOT HP LOVECRAFT AT ALL WHERE IS THE SECTION ABOUT CLIMBING UP MOUNTAINS TO SUMMON ELDER GODS AND HOWLING AT THE MOON LIKE A MADMAN AND HAVING A WIZARD BEAT YOU TO DEATH IN YOUR OWN HOUSE)

JACK KEROUAC.   the brisk pine air of being on a mountain,  travels without a destination,  those nights where you’re missing three hours of memory,  screaming to a lifeless desert about how you’re so alive,  coffee shops late at night, car rides at night spent speeding and laughing in the dark, naps spent in the sun,  novels highlighted and underlined with notes and epiphanies in the margins, the way uncertainty sits on the shoulders, ignoring flaws and loving life,  wind through hair,  depression as fog in the brain, impossible ideals, a quiet sunrise,  walks alone, when you think about trying to discover all the secrets to the universe, dazzling people, open lands stretching out into infinity, falling in love with being alive.

EDGAR ALLAN POE.   the ocean’s horizon inseparable from fog,  hollow bones,  a preserved heart held in hands,  twinkling stars above an old graveyard,  the way everything turns to dust,  silent black birds with eyes full of wisdom, self-inflicted flames,  perfection depicted as a rotting corpse,  death as bricks in the heart,  lips barely brushing against each other, glassy glazed eyes,  biting into a lemon,  heart-shaped bruises,  rotting flowers on a grave,  dried blood and spilled liquor,  the hush of dusk when it begins raining,  the intimacy of a secret.

LITERARY ARCHETYPE MEME tagged by: @ manenimittliv

HOMERIC EPITHET:  You are THE GREAT TELLER OF TALES

The Greek hero Odysseus had many epithets ascribed to him (others included “much-enduring,” “cunning,” and “man of twists and turns”), and this was one of them, so you’re in good company.

FATAL FLAW: YOU’RE IN LOVE WITH THE IDEA OF A PERSON.

And then I deleted the rest of this because it didn’t really apply to him. Oh well

LITERARY SETTING: GATSBY'S MANSION

You got Gatsby’s mansion! This larger-than-life crib is the perfect place for a party animal like yourself. It’s located on the Long Island Sound (ideal for swimming, lounging, obsessively staring across the water with a LaCroix in your hand and unattainable fantasies on your mind, etc.), but it’s also just a train ride away from New York City (city of dreams and $1 pizza). But let’s not forget the best part: it’s got a library that’ll make you wanna grab a fluffy blanket and a chai latte and literally never see the light of day again.

this is a lot of useless information. steal them if youd like

Shittiest writing in the 100. ever. still upset.

SOO finally listened to metastations the 100 podcast where the headcanon was exactly what I said about the Lexa mention and the chip... it being an obvious plot device. (minute 29) And guys its SO good. they hit the nail on the head. Go listen to it. I’ll leave you with a semi exact quote:

“thats the actual solution to her problem. If Clarke is SO opposed to Madi being the commander and having the flame; if she’s THAT terrified of it, why doesn’t she just break the damn thing. [...] So they had to come up with a reason for her not to do it. [...] But like here’s my problem with that. Nr. 1: That does not track with how incredibly.. like murderously opposed to the flame Clarke has been up until this point. Like it’s just like this weird character 180 where she’s like: “I WILL DO LITERALLY ANYTHING TO STOP THE FLAME FROM HURTING MADI! except I won’t hurt the flame.” Which is like.. it doesn’t track. And then Nr. 2: which is I think the part that probably wasn’t intentional but it just bugs me: it’s incredibly shitty of Clarke to be like.. “I will murder people. I will leave my best friend in the literal universe to die a horrible, grisly death at his sister’s hands;.. get like murdered in the arena... but I won’t break a usb drive because.. like.. my dead girlfriends memories are on there.” Like thats just really not.. like. what? It just does’t work for me. It doesn’t track logically as a choice the character would make; and the implications of it are just so incredibly frustrating to me. That it kind of just pulled me out of that whole storyline.”

I mean... mic drop:D

And heres the thing: I have been raving about the 100 and its writing from day one. Even in season 1, while it was kind of a more typical CW cheesy teen show. “We’re back, bitches!” (god that was cringy.)

just bc they got their characters right. It was so refreshing. The 100 is a post apocalyptic drama, yes, but it is also character driven. Their arcs were original, incredibly well written. They just all felt so... real. And I used to talk about how I trust JRoth and the writers completely bc they have never ever disappointed me. And guys this comment. “I cant destroy it.” Has me doubting everything. It was the absolute epitome of shitty, lazy writing. It was so OOC it completely threw me off. I had to pause the ep. I mean.. Im still so angry abt it. 

It was the worst writing in this show ever. The first truly bad piece of writing. We didnt get an explanation for Clarkes weird change of heart. Didnt get emotion. It was so lazy. I am still just kinda shocked that the writers let me down. And its one of my favourite shows ever, which is why this is so upsetting. I dont want to see bad writing. Ive loved this season so far. I want to love it. Why would you do this?? If you dont have enough time to tell your story logically without having your characters making ooc decisions, just simplify the plot. The show works BECAUSE of it being character driven and not mainly plot driven. We’re watching because of overcomplicated plot twists yes, but BC they have emotional weight behind it. Dear writers: PULL YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR FUCKING ASSES. End rant.

July 23 Dancitron Movie Night - Monkey Business

Set vaguely after the baby plague has been resolved. The movie took place outside, because the inside of Dancitron is currently a wreck, due to Plot Events As Yet Unrevealed.

Prowl had two new friends and whatever-the-hell-Whirl-is at movie night, which was an astounding amount of positive social interaction by his standards.

NoodlesAtNight 7:33 pm *To put it frankly, the club is WRECKED. There's a reason nobody's allowed inside tonight. Instead, the night is taking place outside in the open air, near one of the shorter side walls of the building.

VProwl 9:38 pm If nothing else, the library has meeting rooms. _Whirl 9:38 pm We'd all go watch movies, each week, someone new picks. MedicalMurdersaurus 9:38 pm *crosses his legs under himself so Bird is covering him like a blanket* VProwl 9:38 pm It's technically still around? It's—parked outside the city. I think some people still live in it. Kelpy 9:38 pm OOoh. Our Whirl didn't do that. That sounds fun. _Whirl 9:39 pm Well, if I start 'em up again, then I'll let you know. Kelpy 9:39 pm Nice. _Whirl 9:39 pm And it's--I mean the ship's there, but the Lost Light is gone. *somewhat uncomfortable pause* Hard to explain. Anyway... catch you losers later. *hops up with a half-hearted salute* opatoes 9:39 pm They sound really fun! Night, Whirl. Hope you have a better night than- some of these nights have been. VProwl 9:39 pm ... Some kind of symbolic spiritual thing? OmicronTheIceQueen 9:39 pm The crew and colony- family?- sense is not the same? *glance at Whirl* Agooddistraction858 9:40 pm Frag it beeeeeeeeee 9:40 pm bye whirl _Whirl 9:40 pm I... Not now. Kelpy 9:40 pm Night Whirl. Have fun. _Whirl 9:40 pm Maybe later. Agooddistraction858 9:40 pm Coming here was a bad idea, gotta get away from the bar. I'll see ya later, kid. opatoes 9:40 pm ... Is everything okay, Wheels? _Whirl 9:40 pm *Whirl's in a bit of a rough place at the moment, of all the people he'd expected to make him feel a little better, Prowl was probably at the bottom of the list. But he did, and Whirl is quietly grateful* VProwl 9:40 pm Ah. Evening. I'll—er—see you, next movie night you come to, then. opatoes 9:40 pm I'll see you later, but are you okay? Agooddistraction858 9:40 pm I'm great, haven't had a drink in fragging days _Whirl 9:41 pm Probably won't be coming back here for a while. But yeah.

VProwl 9:41 pm *nods* opatoes 9:41 pm ... You wanna hang out sometime, Wheels? Agooddistraction858 9:41 pm Yeah. We should do that. No drinks. Hit me up. See ya _Whirl shifts into alt mode, bobbing nearly in the air, and carefully rises out of the way of the audience, turning and bridging himself away 9:41 pm opatoes 9:41 pm That works! See you later! ... /Watching Whirl go of in his alt mode. Ooh./ MedicalMurdersaurus 9:42 pm :V *waves at Whirl* _Whirl 9:42 pm ((fancy helicopter)) VProwl 9:42 pm *... did he handle that well? he's not sure. it's hard to tell with most people but even harder to tell with Whirl.* Kelpy 9:42 pm [waves bye] OmicronTheIceQueen 9:43 pm Racer: *fascinated by transforming mechs, staring from his spot* _Whirl 9:43 pm *you done good, prowl* NoodlesAtNight 9:44 pm *Laserbeak pats Swoop's shoulder with a feeler. Time for her to clean up what she can lift, since the Boss is out cold again. She whirs up and around, cleaning up snacks and the less heavy seats.* OmicronTheIceQueen 9:44 pm *Icy chirps at laserbeak, would she like some help?* opatoes 9:45 pm /Waving bye to Swerve!/ NoodlesAtNight 9:45 pm *She warbles back. No, no, she's got it. The more stomping around there is the more likely the Boss is to wake up.* MedicalMurdersaurus 9:45 pm *immediately does his best impression of a helpful person, he doesn't actually know where stuff goes and how to do this but he pretends and chirps in clear confusion when he is adrift* beeeeeeeeee 9:45 pm *loves the chill songs, slowly getting a little sleepy* opatoes 9:45 pm /He's lying down almost immediately./ So- I can recharge out here, right, Sounds? OmicronTheIceQueen 9:45 pm *Is a big predator though, can be soundless, nearly* You can come to Dreaded if you're safe smokey opatoes 9:47 pm I mean, I can go back.

Fall asleep on his couches. opatoes 9:49 pm Yeah. Kind of wanna take a moment to just... Reflect on stuff, I guess? I guess it's probably not a good idea to leave my home along for that long, though. beeeeeeeeee 9:49 pm Mm.. yeah Still a lot of recovery to do To make sure everyone is recovering well OmicronTheIceQueen 9:49 pm Is he safe? no contagons? beeeeeeeeee 9:49 pm Who are you asking?

Owl 😊 VProwl 9:51 pm If you want to get rid of Vos, you need to do better than throwing him out the airlock. Kelpy 9:51 pm [slumps off couch] Yeah I think that's it for me, ha. Night guys. Tell Slendy night for me Laserbeak. NoodlesAtNight 9:51 pm *Bird will let Swoop help so he can chill out with her upstairs after for another nap.* beeeeeeeeee 9:51 pm Hopefully now that this is all over they'll just....go away VProwl 9:51 pm Do you have space bridges? Have you considered bridging him into the middle of a star? Kelpy 9:51 pm Good point. Maybe fire then the airlock. NoodlesAtNight 9:51 pm {{Bird tells. You recharge, First Aid recharge.}} MedicalMurdersaurus 9:51 pm *is all for bird time* <3 NoodlesAtNight 9:51 pm {{Kill Vos.}} VProwl 9:51 pm ... To be clear, this IS the Vos that's a gun, correct? opatoes 9:51 pm What about shadow zoning him? That might work.

If you're safe you can come to Dreaded Wings NoodlesAtNight 9:55 pm ((thank you all for coming, and aid and swerve mun especially this first night <3)) opatoes 9:55 pm Good, good! I- I don't know what I'd do if I did. Or if I could make up for something like that. VProwl 9:55 pm *is clutched.* opatoes 9:55 pm I really shouldn't leave Megatron alone for as long as I already have, but thank you, Icy. VProwl 9:55 pm *straightens back up* MedicalMurdersaurus 9:56 pm ((ahh! What an inaccurate first night for y'all. Swoop didn't assault anyone.

Is that everyone? Is it just Soundwave and Prowl now? Are even the deployers gone?* NoodlesAtNight 10:00 pm *Yep. Everyone else is inside.* VProwl 10:01 pm *Huh. If Prowl had known Soundwave was going to fall asleep, he would have asked where he's sleeping while Dancitron is damaged.* NoodlesAtNight 10:01 pm *On Prowl, obviously. He can always nudge Soundwave up long enough to ask.* VProwl 10:02 pm *No no, Prowl doesn't want to wake him. He scales up a few feet and very... carefully... picks Soundwave up. He can take him back in to Dancitron and ask one of the deployers.* *... If they cross paths with a deployer. If not, he'll wing it.* NoodlesAtNight 10:03 pm *Ravage is downstairs muttering about the state of his bar, so he will.* NoodlesAtNight 10:05 pm *He'll turn and give Prowl and his armful a wide-optic look, tail switching side to side.*??@P: =Hurt or resting?= VProwl 10:05 pm Resting, I think. *he's not going to say he's SURE, though. what if there's internal damage he doesn't know about that only just now manifested???* He dozed off during the movie. NoodlesAtNight 10:08 pm =Hm.= *Gently batting at some broken glass, trying to think about how best to clean things up.* =Not here, eh? Repair noises, soon. His other place. Or yours. It is fine.= *Ravage chuckles and flashes fangs for a moment.* =I know how to find you.= VProwl 10:09 pm His other place, then. VProwl 10:10 pm ... I'll drop him off and come back to help pick up. At the least bring in the things from outside. *Prowl expects Ravage to protest, if he's anywhere near as resistant to guests helping clean as Soundwave is.* The mess IS my fault. NoodlesAtNight 10:14 pm =It is.= *Unlike Soundwave, Ravage has no problems identifying the sources of the problem out loud.* =You will help tomorrow. Tonight, resting. We watched you work. He would want it.= *Suddenly hooks the piece of glass in his claws and shakes it off into a bin.* =And Laserbeak is mad at you.= *Chuckling.* VProwl 10:16 pm *Prowl appreciates it. It means he doesn't have to fight to help.* ... Am I incorrect, or is Laserbeak perpetually at least partially mad at me? To be fair, at the moment she has an excellent reason. But I mean in general. NoodlesAtNight 10:18 pm *Ravage looks rather like a cat that's caught a canary, which is somewhat appropriate.* NoodlesAtNight 10:22 pm =Ah, general... The bird is greedy. You share Soundwave's attention. You will get used to it.= *Flicks paw.* =Or she will. It is nothing. /But,/= *And here he's grinning again.* =Today, the club. It was her weekend to sing.= VProwl 10:24 pm Oh. *and here he thought it had been because he'd partially wrecked her home.* Then I'm especially sorry to her. NoodlesAtNight 10:26 pm *Well, that too. But she wouldn't be half as mad if they'd done it on a week she wasn't scheduled to perform.* =I will tell her, hm?= VProwl 10:26 pm I'd appreciate it. NoodlesAtNight 10:26 pm *Slow nod.* VProwl 10:26 pm I'm assuming she wouldn't be pleased to hear it from me. NoodlesAtNight 10:28 pm =Tonight, no. When the pet Dinobot is gone.= *He doesn't know for sure if Swoop would roast Prowl if she asked, but he'd rather not risk Soundwave's wrath and find out.* VProwl 10:29 pm Another time, then. *and... he's still standing there holding Soundwave. He should get him to bed.* ... Evening. NoodlesAtNight 10:30 pm *Ravage gets back onto fours to continue working and dips his head.* =Goodnight, Autobot.= *Sorry. Reflex.* VProwl 10:30 pm *He's been called worse things. At least "Autobot" is one he's called himself.* *A farewell nod to Ravage, and he opens a bridge to Soundwave's apartment.* NoodlesAtNight 10:31 pm *Soundwave will, of course, not protest this in the slightest.* VProwl 10:32 pm *hopefully he won't protest if Prowl stays, too.* NoodlesAtNight 10:32 pm *Are you kidding? He'd be THRILLED. Once he woke up, anyway.* VProwl 10:32 pm *well, he's going to have a nice surprise in the morning.* NoodlesAtNight 10:33 pm *And Prowl will finally get to find out what Soundwave is like when he wakes up with someone else still there. A hint: It's amusing.* VProwl 10:34 pm *then hopefully Prowl's going to have a nice surprise in the morning, too.* NoodlesAtNight 10:35 pm *He will indeed. But for now, the both of them should sleep for a long, long while.*

Supergirl 3x18 Shelter from the Storm Reactions

Lena’s lived in a hotel FOR TWO YEARS???? She’s been afraid the city would reject her for TWO YEARS??

I mean, I guess so did Royal Tenenbaum?

GIVE. LENA.LUTHOR. A. HUG. No, I rephrase. I will give Lena Luthor a hug. C’mere, girl. I got you!

Aw, GuardianCorp is cute y’all. I’m still annoyed how they started out - for writing purposes it was just lazy in that they just didn’t lay the groundwork right for that relationship - BUT I do like Lena and James where they are right now and the last few episodes gave them both more screentime to actually display their relationship dynamic to the viewer outside of them both being territorial at work, not trusting a Luthor blah de blah. And I LIKE James. He’s such a great character, I want to see more of this secure, comfortable, good hearted, talented dude.

James doesn’t have his tie on yet, but he has his Shield on? YEAH OK

OOOOO Kryptonite Spray. Dang. I’d be afraid I’d mix that up with perfume or something. Also, it’s so pretty!

Reign’s up early lol

Space Dad and Space Grand Dad BEAAAANS

Lol Coffee as bean water is just so funny to me. Cuz it’s true

DEO & Legion Crew Where’s my Brainy & Winn BROTP

Cape tricks just sounds dirty to me. Is it just me? Aw THERE’S MY BRAINY & WINN BROTP lolz

“Future dirt” bahahaha I’m dying This reminds me of a time I went to an festival and forgot to get my brother something so I picked up a rock from the parking lot (I was going to steal a sign but I didn’t have the right screw driver) and gave it to him and told him it was from the moon. He believed it for about 5 hours. The look on his face when he realized it definitely was not a legit moon rock though….hahahaha. It’s been over 10 years and it’s still funny.

Brainy hugs like my Toddler and it’s terrifying. Here, let me squish your face. eeeeeeeeee

Alex at Luthor Mansion AN INVISIBLE MANSION??? WHAT THE WHAT And I thought invisible jets were cool

Kara & J’onn checking in on Lena & James Kara asking if Lena’s ok D’awww. MORE TENSION PLEASE Screw you James, no one cares hahaha JK, but really - y’all are friends. Shouldn’t you check in with him, Kara?

I don’t know what Lena’s dress pattern is, but I think it’d be tight as a bow tie.

Kara & J’onn go to see Mama “White Lady” Arias Lmao White Lady with a shotgun? Eeeeee

ARE HER SCRIBBLES KRYPTONIAN OH SHEEEEET

Can we talk about how neatly the Reign World Killer symbol has been penciled onto the wall?

“I’m not gonna turn away from her now” says Mama Arias but you were gonna pull a gun on someone looking for pills?

OKAY

Alex Visits Ruby at Luthor “It’s Invisible” Mansion Aw Ruby loves Alex

I LOVE MOM ALEX OMGGGG

Back to Kara & J’onn at Mama “White Lady” Arias’ house Hahaha Kara and food. I’m with you, lady. Pudding’s pretty great.

Dead flowers CALLED IT. REIGN IS BLIGHT HAHAHAHA SUCKAHS It might just be that I’m super gay, but holy hell Reign’s nails are terrifying.

Ohmygod. This just got TEMPLE OF DOOM level intense.

If Sam was upset about killing people as Reign before. Geeeez

Mon El/Imra and the Necklace at the DEO MONEL. GIVE. THE NECKLACE. BAAAAACK ALKDFSJ;LKDFJS;LDFJKSLDFJKSLDJKS

Brainy bugged the diiiirt?? Awww dude

Are you suuuuure there’s no blight?

Even if Sam comes back at this point, how is she going to live with herself?

Back to Luthor Mansion with Alex and Ruby ALEX LOVES YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN?!?

I didn’t think I could love her more.

Hell yes.

Aw, Rubes knows she’s being lied to. Kids know.

Back to the DEO Party SUPERGIRL, YOUR SECRET WEAPON IS LENA GODDAMMIT

Um, why can’t Imra just stay?

Also, did Chris lose a ton of weight? Are you ok? Is that why we have a beard?

Lena with Kryptonite

Weeeelll this is awkward

Soooo why is Kara ok with low levels of Kryptonite in the training room? Ok ok, I have to go back and rewatch that scene.

Rewatching-

This is OOC Kara, IMO and I like angst.

I dunno, it was just too quick jumping down Lena’s throat. Totes in character for Lena though.

“Even if I did trust you” says SG

That means you don’t. Ouch.

Reign found the invisible mansion without a generator....apparently I know it’s a plot point, but wouldn’t Lex friggin Luthor have a generator to avoid what Reign just did in cutting the power

What cat did they use for Reign’s growl? Damn

Uhhh WHERE’S THE KRYPTONITE SPRAY

Lena save the good stuff for her hotel room? Lmao

I didn’t know bullets could be extra. But that bullet Alex just shot? Super Extra

Reign Unmasked Aw Ruby. Aw honey baby pie. :((((((( I’m sorry, sweetie.

Reign contained in LCorp Oh shit. We back at LCorp

I LOVE LENA SO MUCH. DAMMIT

Aw I was weirdly hoping Lena and Monel would have a conversation. Is that weird? Hmmm

J’onn and his dad’s storyline just breaks my heart.

And Alexa and Ruby breaks my heart.

Lena and Kara breaks my heart.

SUPERGIRL IS BREAKING MY HEART.

I’d be lying though if I said I didn’t love it.

Kara & Lena in Elevator Whoaaaaa “She crossed a line. I can never trust her again”-Lena BREAKIN. MY. HEART.

I know some of y’all think Lena knows due to this scene. But I don't think so. I think that look was her being hurt about her relationship with supergirl and calculating/thinking that Kara is close to SG. If she already knew that Kara was Supergirl, I don’t think we’d get this frankness about what happened and this honesty about how she feels about it. IMO, Lena would shut her out, or wouldn’t give additional/in depth information unless absolutely necessary. This was an “overshare” to a friend.

That hug was so sweet though.

I’m bummed that this angst is occurring because of such out of character behavior from Kara. I guess it was the easiest way to have Kara be upset and set Lena up as following in Luthor footsteps?

I dunno. Maybe I’ve read too many fanfictions, but I think there were other ways for a similar dynamic to have been created without Supergirl acting out. Maybe I just needed more on screen reason for Kara to be so untrusting or SO afraid of her best friend? We’ve spent basically two seasons of Kara defending Lena against the world, literally. This included a video of Lena allegedly stealing kryptonite. Kara’s doubt happened too quickly.

Do I think she should be upset about the kryptonite thing? Absolutely. It adds to being upset about Lena not telling Supergirl about holding Reign in the first place. They could have worked together from the start, or at least, that would be Kara’s view of it and that’s realistic to her character. Having Kara hurt that Lena didn’t trust her? Now that I believe. That’s a more organic wedge to put between them. Kara being trusting and eager to help and having Lena be the one that’s insecure in their relationship with trust issues? I am here for in character angst. Honestly that’s why I love the two of them. Their dynamic is so wonderful with each of their histories. It’s why I keep reading SuperCorp fanfiction. And look - I’m not expecting SuperCorp to be cannon, but the things that make a romantic relationship believable are the same traits that make their platonic cannon relationship so endearing and believable as well. They’re complimentary opposites. Both come from a place of pain and loss, Kara with an almost endless optimism and outward empathy to the world with Lena holding things closer to the chest, a little more pessimistic/realistic but still working for what she thinks is right for the world and those closest to her.

Maybe that coffee was a mistake.

Anyways. I’m still frustrated with the show for writing out of character behaviors in order to move plots along. That said, it’s a campy superhero show and I’ve definitely been entertained by this episode and the last few while still feeling relatively connected to the characters so it’s not all bad.

Definitely looking forward to how they tie this up for the season or leave it hanging for next.

It’s been brought to my notice a clois shipper is taking my comments on CBR without my permission, screen grabbing and pasting in his tumblr to talk trash . So glad you think my comments so worthy that you need to pull out your straw man arguments instead of being honest enough to reply to me there. But I won’t give any credence to your cowardice. You know, some people have been making a habit of this. Taking what I and other posters have said on public forums and going on twitter and tumblr and trying to act all smug and smart and trying...TRYING...to ridicule us. But you know I tend to ignore these cowards. I don’t like wasting my time on shipping wars which is why I rarely get into to and fros with these folks here. Fact, I have most of them blocked. But this I decided has given me a great opportunity to share with my fellow comic fans. 

In retrospect, my post my post must have been thought provoking . 😉 😚 Glad to see it got him reacting. So I thought why waste it on CBR alone? I MEAN I DON’T HAVE TO ASK MYSELF PERMISSION. Let me share what it was about.  Here was my thoughts on that debacle Batman #39 before it was released based on the Bleeding Cool article that it seemed to have ripped from that notorious Action 571 by Joe Kelly 18 years ago. Now some people, usually clois fans, love Action because it, in their eyes, hold their pairing up as some great love because of this issue. But then there is another side to it and I ask people to sincerely think about this given the fact we have moved on in terms of how we view relationships and dynamics. I am not talking about political correctedness gone mad. Not at all. And no way I would be so disrespectful to call Joe Kelly the man a sexist or anything like that the way some clois fans attack Superman/Wonder Woman fans and writers because they so “hurt” fiction simply paired up two single people in one story line ie the new 52 despite them having tons of stuff in other books and media. Some writers just do stories using outdated troupes that have evolved into sexist plots because times change  and they at times  miss their mark with a section of the fandom or can be a hit depending which side of the fence you are on. And they should never be personally attacked for it. You can critique them but don’t for the love of god try to label people you don’t know anything about other than you read a comic that you don’t like. 

I hate Action #761. Not because of the premise that two people who have been attracted to each other, who have a long history of closeness in BOTH their comics...ie they actually have been shown in the narrative...it's not just dragged in left field... that they can end up closer or intimate. It's actually pretty normal I'd think if two friends with some unresolved tension, after they lose their spouses etc find solace or love again. It's morbid to be so guilt ridden that a dead partner you cannot recall and who you think is dead makes you close your self off to love, when it's clear you really really tempted. But this was never the point of Action #761 to explore love and loss. How can you as a writer if you want to sincerely tackle it when you full well KNOW you cannot shake the boat? It's not AU. It's not an altered timeline where you can follow through without messing up canon. You obviously, in such a scenario, will set up one character to be humiliated by doing something so absurd and heavy handed to try to prop a relationship that supposed to great because it's human etc etc...and being human is supposed to encompass the highs and lows of love, including tragedy and honoring a love by living etc. It tries so hard to beat you over the head Clark would rather be a monk for the rest of his life to honor one dead woman's memory. I did not come away and go aww that's love. I thought sheesh, what a dysfunctional love . Superman is actually crippled by Lois memory or lack thereof. Diana seemed pretty normal to me. And SHE never crossed boundaries or propositioned him. HE was the one raising it. And she backed off and never made him feel at all as if he did anything wrong by rejecting her. She was selfless in one vein and just a prop in another with no pov about how she dealt with it as a woman and someone who left behind friends and loved ones too. It was all about Superman and Lois to prop them at her expense. She comes off as the reject when in fact it's a story that used her in a cheap way knowing all the time that was the only outcome. Can't we all just assume Superman would be faithful to Lois while they together simply because he is that kind of a dude? Why did Joe Kelly need to drag Diana in as some temptation? Just like Superman fans hate when they use Superman as the punching bag to show the strongest character can take a beating by all and sundry, am I to assume Diana has to be used as the apple because she happens to be beautiful and THE premiere female? So, if you refuse Wonder Woman of all people...wow...you gotta love Lois so much. That's pretty sexist crap right there by Kelly. It was a poorly thought out story. But it was 18 years ago and we have moved forward in terms of the way women are used. So color me totally unimpressed King takes this lame troupe and play with it again.Because you can do nothing good with it. Neither Batman or Diana are single. It is not AU. Unless there is a plan to make them dump Selina and Steve. I hardly think this likely since why would DC make such a big deal of the Batcat stuff only to dump on it in this manner. BOTH are with their "love interests". Bruce has made a huge step in his canon. Love with commitment and pending marriage. Diana is shacked up with Steve Trevor. I am not fan of Rebirth. But she is with Steve cureently so why is there this need to muddy the waters at this stage? They could have done this easily when both were single. People might not like or might like it depending on your shipping preferences but at least they free, single and disengaged. They can kiss or date who they please as single people. Batman sure as hell has umpteen women in his books. Wanting a beautiful woman is not exactly strange for him. And King is cheating by trying to say they have some deep, great friendship based on one lame two parter? Because they spend some time in a pocket universe where time passes but is only two issues we to assume their friendship has the same magnitude as say Clark and Bruce's which has had so many books devoted to it? Diana pre new 52 and new 52 could never be seen to be Bruce's close friend and boast of a friendship to equal Superman and Batman or even a romantic dynamic as her other canonical love interests because they had limited stories together. King premises this as some great deep friendship because he wants to retroactively in a paltry two issues cement something they never earned? That's how lazy and arrogant DC and Batman writers are. It was done by Joe Kelly in the JLA run where Batman sucked Diana's face with no build up. It was done by Rucka in Black Night. Seems King is doing it again. Pushing something that just has not been earned. And using the cheapest way to try to claim it. It is baffling he uses Superman and Lois is positive ways and supportive of Selina and chooses to put Diana, a symbol of sisterhood in a story where you have to dredge up sex and intimacy to show how good friends they are. I don't get it. This arc is supposed to be about Batman's friends response to his pending marriage . So he and Diana couldn't spend some time bonding in any other way? What is the purpose? It does not sound at all good to me. So this is why I think that him even borrowing the premise or homaging or whatever he's done a poor choice. Diana will come off looking bad again and a prop or mouthpiece because it is a Batman book and about his issues. 

Then Batman 39 hit and I said this.

I'm sorry to say I told you so. But yeah. Whenever batman fan boy writers handle Wonder Woman this is what you get. Lazy ooc plots to claim her as hooked on Batman's irresistible charms. They don't build anything over time. They just slap it in your face. Bruce Timm. Joe Kelly. Greg Rucka, Now Tom King and no doubt soon Liam Sharp. Like I say it doesn't bug me two friends who are close and attracted to each other if they are single try a relationship. But Action wasn't about that. It could not any way explore anything in canon. And no one I know who liked smww or ww cared for it. It was one sided to ensure smll came out smelling rosy and Diana ...oh poor Diana...just rejected because if you turn down Wonder Woman...wow, what a man. What a love! So dumb. Like he couldn't just be seen as faithful because he's a loyal guy in a normal situation. They just needed to go all heavy handed to make a pointless point at WW expense.

Batman 39. Worse. The pacing in Action at least tried to show a bond already there knitting tighter...they did not need this issue to show they are friends. They already were close etc. Diana did not proposition Clark. They maintained boundaries and yadda yadda for a moment looked at each other and then Clark pulled back and Diana is fine with it blah blah. This shows a Wonder Woman in terms of the art, flirting heavily in her body language from the get go. Batman as you clearly see is still trying to be faithful in his body language.   She even suggests they get it on knowing he will go back to Selina. I just don't how to take that. No Diana I know would openly suggest that. It's so out of character. She's the apple/ temptress. She has no pov or remembers she has her own lover and life. He's a non issue. Poor Steve prob sitting in their apartment waiting for her.

Now if this is based on Rucka's Diana...then this is not the way I want my Wonder Woman. Not so lacking in empathy, emotional intelligence and wisdom . I don't understand how any one as old as she is with so much relationships under her belt as suggested by Rucka, cannot understand and respect the nuances and boundaries in relationships  at this stage. That she views all that she has "loved" as not able to teach her anything. It is baffling to me this Rucka Diana with all this delusion and madness nonsense. She's not a naive here but comes across as very self centered and stiff for a character who is about sisterhood and compassion. You'd think as she has her own lover she would empathize how much Bruce misses Selina...is bizarre what we have here. So whether they kiss or not is not the point. It's the set up and Diana's poor characterization. [/SPOIL]

DC  dropped the ball on Diana with Rebirth. Badly and this is where she is now. Batman writers are getting to dictate her motivations, character, personality in throw away arcs and they just don't feel right at all. No matter how people say they hate the new 52...Diana maintained her core personality under the pens of Azzarello, and Soule and hell even Finch and Johns wasn't all bad.

For those who never read either books...you’re missing nothing but Action is the lesser of two evils. You can go read them to at least keep make your own minds up but context is important in everything and timing. Personally I say don’t give DC $ for nonsense. I’m pretty sure you can get it online free to read or see many spoilers around. As much as I don’t like Wonderbat, if it had been done when both were single...(and to be fair it had been back in JLA in 2002 by Joe Kelly  and went nowhere)...it would have not been so bad as to raise so much ire. Pissed off fandoms, sure, but I am not so into shipping wars that I would be writing about any issue on this blog. Same way I ignore clois in Rebirth because they are not my new 52 Superman or Wonder Woman. So not sure why in God’s name DC wants to force it now when they did a Batcat engagement and choose to put Diana with Steve. I mean, are they crazy to be playing with that kind of fire when people are so sensitive the way women are used? And then that mini coming up by Liam Sharp is hinting at the same kind of crap trying to write retroactive wonderbat stuff just to have his own shipping preference. After Batman 39, I’d say, he needs to thread carefully.  I mean come on, DC. Treat Diana better. It’s no skin of Batman’s nose. He sells no matter his status quo. He can have a harem his fan boys don’t care. But DC chose to go a very important step and make Bruce take a huge decision to tell the woman he loves he wants to commit to her and her be a part of his life. This is not something you sully with this kind of thing at this time.  And let’s just say Bruce and Selina break up someway along the line does DC really want it to be because people blame Diana for it? Now is not the time for it. God, DC, you had your chance and never took it. Don’t mess about now. Now maybe King might have a better part two to subvert what we are seeing here but I still think using Wonder Woman imagery as the temptress was ill advised. 

And those trying to drag SuperWonder into this. Please. Our New 52 couple is dead. They are not part of this. Try reaching somewhere else. The clois shipper using my CBR comments, your example is so silly of trying to use DC Presents #32 as the same as Batman #39. That story was set in the Silver Age where there was an innocent whimsy and silliness in stories. Eros shot SM and WW with arrows and they kissy kissy for a bit while trying to find a cure. Both were dating Steve and Lois but most pointedly neither had told Steve and Lois they were Clark Kent and Diana Prince in those stories. Both Steve and Lois use to treat Diana and Clark like shit in favor of Wonder Woman and Superman back then. So let’s not even start with the faux outrage. It was just a different time and the Batman Brave and the Bold kids comic replicated it because again, it’s the context and kind of story. No one batted an eye lid nor cared Bats and Wondy kissed under a love spell. The innocence is there unless you’re reaching big time.

Warning: Mild OOC? They’re characters that grew up differently than the canon, so a little bit of change in personality. There is are OCs in this fic (Manako Inuzuka and Kakashi’s children). Don’t like it, don’t read (but I’ve had pretty positive feedback about them, so your loss).

Canon/Fanon Compliance: AU ‘verse. Sasuke left Konoha, but he came back right away or right after training or something. Team 7 went on to become ANBU

Having been placed on indefinite leave three weeks ago, Team 7 has been desperate to return to active ANBU duty. Matters have progressed enough that inevitably all three of them find themselves back in the Hokage’s office trying to persuade their former teacher to put them back on the ANBU roster.

Kakashi, however, has a caveat—a mission with no room for failure to ensure they were worthy of their positions. Sasuke thinks it’s going to be an assassination or protection detail, but when Kakashi’s—mistress? Lover? Partner?—shows up with two toddlers and an infant, a worse possibility emerges.

“Have you told them yet?” Manako asks, not bothering with a greeting. The grey-haired twins take off, vaulting towards the Hokage’s desk, scattering papers everywhere in their haste to clamber over their father’s knees.

“I was getting there,” Kakashi says impatiently, maneuvering the twins into his lap with practices ease, and turning back to his former students. “There’s a Kage summit in Suna in two weeks.”

“And Tanzaku Town is on the way,” Manako interrupts. “We haven’t had any alone time since Peach Fuzz here was born.” She hefts the infant Obito in her arms. “We’re due a getaway.”

“You mean a sex weekend,” Naruto points out.

“Yeah, that.”

Kakashi stares heavenward. “Whatever happened to subtext in polite company?”

“You read porn in polite company,” Manako reminds him.

The Sixth Hokage sighs and turns his attention to his students.

“If you three want back on active duty, you first have to prove to me you can be responsible adults,” Kakashi lectures, patiently removing one twin’s grasping hands from a paperweight and the other’s foot from his laptop keyboard. “You’ve forgotten the importance of following mission directive and completing your tasks as required, without deviation. You need practice.”

“So, you’re placing the health and safety of your children in our hands?” Sakura questions, uncertain.

“If I had to bet on three people to come out of this alive, I’d bet on my boys,” Manako informs her soberly. “We’ll be back in two days, and if you three elite shinobi can’t handle it, you can always drop them off with Kiba.”

Naruto’s eyes bug out.

The last time Kiba babysat, he took them to Ichiraku and they almost destroyed it!

“No way, we can do this!” Naruto declares, as usual, game for anything. “I mean, how hard can it be?”

*

Two days later, Sasuke wonders if it’s possible to go back in time and kill Naruto before he utters that statement.

“This…is not…a child,” he bites out from beneath clenched teeth, trying to prise his hair out of Obito’s chubby fists. The baby has the long strands clutched in a death grip and is wailing as if someone is torturing him with a hot poker.

Beside him, Sakura makes a choking noise in response to Shinzō—or possibly Kuboshi—who has clambered up her back and clutched her from behind. She thinks it might have been meant for a hug, but from the way he clutches her throat and hangs on for dear life she wonders if he isn’t practicing assassination techniques.

Meanwhile, Naruto chases intently after Kuboshi—though it could be Shinzō—who has somehow managed to divest himself of all of his clothing and his diaper, and is cackling in high pitched, demonic whoops of joy. When the tot continues to evade him, the jinchūriki calls up a shadow clone to head him off—only for the toddler to skid beneath his double’s legs, shrieking in delight.

Eyes still tearing from the death grip Obito has on his scalp, Sasuke darts forward and grabs the little nudist around the middle, depositing him unceremoniously in Naruto’s hands.

“Don’t. Let go. Again,” he growls, his eyes flickering between black and red as returns to the task of separating Obito from his hair. The child is momentarily distracted by the swirling tomoe, and Sasuke ponders the merits of using genjutsu on a baby.

That would probably make him a horrible human being, right?

Behind them, Sakura has gotten a hold of her charge, and grips the little white-haired boy out at arms length, shaking her head in horrified awe.

“We are never reproducing,” she croaks with absolute certainty.

Sasuke blinks and glances up from the infant in his arms. “Wait—what?”

“It’s like having three Narutos!” she continues, not hearing him. “Which is horrifying—and possibly illegal. Why were the two most irresponsible and lazy people we know allowed to breed?”

“Forget that—why were they allowed to have twins?” Naruto complains as he tries to maneuver Shinzō—Pretty sure it’s Shinzō this time, he’s the one with the birth mark above his eyebrow, right?—back into a blanket until he can find the little jerk’s clothing.

“It’s like the gods decided to develop a sense of humour or something.”

“I’d just like to know how I ended up with the baby,” Sasuke interjects reasonably.

“Sakura and I took a vote and decided you were the most responsible.”

Sasuke’s eye twitches. “But she’s the one who saves people’s lives for a living.”

“Okay, we figured the baby was the one you were the least likely to set on fire.”

“This is ridiculous,” Sakura sighs. “This is no different from the D-rank missions we got when we were kids. It should not be this hard!”

“We could always bring them to Kiba,” Sasuke reminds them all.

There is a long beat of silence, where the members of Team 7 exchange mildly disturbed looks with the Sixth Hokage’s spawn.

“I have a better idea!” Naruto declares.

“The five most terrifying words ever spoken,” Sasuke deadpans.

“Battle royale!”

There’s another beat of silence.

“I would punch you, but I’m holding a child,” Sakura informs him with cold politeness.

“That is the most idiotic thing you have ever come up with. And you thought it was a good idea to use your stupid harem jutsu on an ancient goddess.”

“No, seriously, guys, it’s genius!” Naruto protests. “We can set them against each other and they’ll distract each other and pass out, and then we’ll only have to take care of the baby, who will go to sleep once he gets tired of yanking out all of Sasuke’s hair. That’s a sacrifice I’m totally willing to make.”

“You are even less responsible than I thought you were,” Sakura grumbles.

“Oi!”

“And Sasuke, you’re being too quiet.”

The last of the Uchiha has an expression of calculation on his face that his teammates have learned either precedes a genius plan of attack or a mad declaration about attempted world domination. Neither one is a good omen.

“The idea does have merit,” he says after a beat, wincing at another sharp tug from Kakashi’s youngest child.

“Sasuke!”

“No, not what the idiot is suggesting,” he dismisses, impatient. “But we could, in theory, try to teach them some basic techniques. I learned Kakuremino when I was about their age. They can practice until they exhaust their chakra and knock themselves out.”

“See? Even Sasuke thinks it’s a good idea!”

“I never said that.”

“You so did!”

“You two agreeing is not the confidence inspiring event you seem to think it is,” Sakura deadpans. “And teaching them to disappear in plain view? That’s not going to make Manako very happy. She’s going to blame us for corrupting her kids.”

“They’re already corrupt. They’re half Inuzuka. Besides, it’s Kakashi’s fault for assigning us this,” Sasuke points out.

“Yeah! He knows better than to leave us unsupervised!”

“Speak for yourself…”

“Besides, if worse comes to worse, we lose one of them, there are still two left, right? They’ll never notice!”

Sakura shoots Naruto a disgusted look. “You’re a horrible person.”

“Tch. Better tell Hyūga to keep her legs shut around him.”

Naruto splutters. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”

“Never mind,” Sakura interrupts, knowing if she doesn’t that a mountain somewhere will suddenly be reduced to ash—babies in hand or not. “Let’s just…see if they have the attention span to learn this stuff, okay? Preferably before Obito makes Sasuke bald.”

Of course she would love him even if he was bald, but she does prefer him with hair. It’s always nice to have something to hold on to.

Naruto sniggers.

As they head toward their customary training ground, Sasuke clears his throat. “Sakura…”

“Yes?”

“What you said before…you didn’t mean it, did you?”

“Mean what?”

“Because you did make me a promise,” he goes on, raising an eyebrow at her meaningfully.

She stares at him uncomprehending for a moment, and then turns red, recalling her comment on the possibility of future children.

“Oh, for goodness sake!”

“Heh-heh,” Naruto turns to confide in Kuboshi—probably got it wrong before, Shinzō is the one without the birthmark—in a conspiratorial voice. “Sounds like someone else is going to be keeping their legs closed—”

WHUMP!

“Ow!”

Hey so this has kinda been bugging me for a while but I don't get why Caitlin's powers "make her evil" like isn't that inconsistent with the mythology of the show? Your either inherently 'good' or 'evil' and your powers don't affect that they just determine whether you're a hero or a villain and I don't understand why that's the route they're going down for Caitlin it's so OOC as well I dunno I was just wondering what you think

I’m gonna be honest I read this 100% wrong the first time so I had to rewrite my answer. I’m sorry if my answer doesn’t really make sense I’m sort of scrambling now lol.

I don’t think it’s out of character to be evil. I do think it can be inconsistent when she never really get’s called out for the subtle “mean” shit she does. Which makes a lot of the things she does easy to miss.

They keep dabbling with her being evil or testing it out while having everyone talk about how sweet and kind-hearted she is. Then you have her in her normal state using her “friends” dead family members to behave the way she wants them to. 

When she was mad at Barry she used Dante to attempt to get Cisco to be evil with her (imo because she didn’t want to be alone), used Nora, Eddie and Ronnie to make Barry feel horrible that he finally found happiness, and she used Nora and Dante again to get Cisco and Barry to agree to add Julian on the team.

Killer Fr/ost was her normal state. She activly lied to the team, attacked them and Julian, kidnapped his ass, tried to kill Barry on her own. She wasn’t under mind control like Wally, she doesn’t have a personality disorder like Frankie. It was all her.

It would be great if they actually did something with it. If they touch on it again. They’re not and we all know this so it’s pointless.

The writers are just really lazy.
