percy x gn!reader taking a hit for him and almost dying while fighting a villian? if this makes you uncomfy no need to do it!

Percy Jackson x Gn!reader taking a hit, while fighting and getting critically injured/near death experience

It happened before he saw it. He only heard you grunt as you made your blow on the 6-foot monster. Its talions scraping the earth as it lashed around trying to snag the duo--But given !reader´s size they had the upperhand by being able to duck between the monsters legs and tail--far away from its humongous claws. This was until it had managed to scrape its long claws in !readers direction, wounding their leg so their knees buckled unexpectedly. They staggered as they tried to maintain their alance, as they whipped their head around they were met with a giant hand that grabbed them and squeezed really hard around their torso. Percy lept forward and slashed its fingers off, setting the !reader free. But it hurts somewhere deep in their hest and everytime they took a breath it made a very weird scratchy-rattling noise.

Then they saw it, Percy trying to distract it by slashing it repeatedly, like what he had once done with the practicing-dummy, and he ran in circles to make it lose its breath--but when Percy jumped and rolled out of its way, the monsters tail hit Percy hard enough for him to slam into the nearest wall in the cave. that wall being a 10 meters away. By some miracle, there was a river nearby, in which Percy would heal himself with--but they couldnt help your instincts screaming to save him. The !reader dashed across the hard stoned floor and managed to get a bad, long claw mark puncturing the flesh and bones that were there while trying to protect Percy. They looked down and saw that the claws had been able to not only scrape the flesh, but also gone straight through t heir body. Their torso immedietly ingulfed in hot red. It burned. They were downed, but only for a moment, before Percy unleashed a godlike tsunami that knocked the monster back until it fell on its butt from the wave. The next moments are a bit of a blur since !reader were laying far away from the fight. But here we are.

Headcanons: (you didnt specify if it was friend or as lovers, so were doing a bit of both + neutral ones)

Percy abandoned riptide on the ground as he ran back towards !reader, his anger faded into true worry.

"Cmon, cmon!" he muttered, as he dug through a bag of medical supplies. but it was only filled with ambrosia and nectar, which wasnt that useful with holes in peoples bodies and usually only used for wounds. Either way,

Percy gave it to !reader to keep them atleast sane from the pain.

The reader would definetly be thrashing in pain and full on screaming.

Percy would be sweating more than any normal, greasy teenager on earth in that moment-his hands shaking with shock.

He would get flashbacks to when he had nightmares of Sally getting beat up, even though he never saw that happen. "Our little secret"-Gabe would tell Percy but who knew?, maybe Sally went through physical abuse too?

He pulled himself together, shaking his head, his hair tousled in the way !reader liked, only this wasnt the appropriate scenario to think about how his appearance was better-than-most-boys.

Percy lifted !readers body and ran out of the cave, stumbled only a tiny bit because his body cant keep up with his mind.

He would be thinking about the way back, following familiar landscaped.

The background would just smush together-so the !reader wouldnt really know if Percy was getting close to somewhere with proper supplies.

Percy glanced down with a panicked expression and a frown while the !reader gurgled (trying to talk but its futile).

At some point !reader would choke on their own blood and Percy would stop almost slipping on the grass, lifting your torso a bit higher and forward. !reader grabbed hard onto Percys bicep, to get some control of themselves.

With only woods in the area and Camp Jupiter and Camp Half-blood being miles away (this was a quest after all),

his best bet would be to try to locate the sea. He would close his eyes, imagining the soft waves crashing-

but it only looked like a typhoon to him because of stress and hidden anger-he would hear it and sense it somewhere further away.

He quickly started running, his breath heavy-barely breathing, and his body sluggish almost dropping you out of exhaustion on his part but pure determination keeping your body lifted.

He dug his fingers in the !readers legs and he ran as fast as his heart could beat.

Imagine if he tripped on a root, barely even able to stutter an apology because hes so out of breath and having the urge to cry out of frustration.

If they died, he would never forgive himself.

Miracles happen, even to the unfortunate, he sees the sea closing in.

He uses his powers to draw a giant tide to engulf !reader in it, putting as much water pressure in their wound on both sides on the body to keep the blood inside.

He would just jump into the tide, wrapping himself and them into a water bubble.

Percy might have been on the swimming team and he might have jumped from 50meters in the sky and into water from Blackjacks back--

but this was the fastest and craziest thing he had ever done. Fishes in the area would splutter away from the intensity.

No creature had even time to see what they were seeing, t

it looked like a water bubble moving faster than the speed of light-Percy swam so fast they werent sure if they had truly sense the Prince of Poseidon here.

But even so, rumours spread quickly, "The son of Poseidon carving out a path in the ocean, [...]..creating a mess..."

He got himself to the palace of his father, dempanded attention immedietly. His wife, being home at all times, wathced from the altar the morificating sight of a pale, and weak body hanging on for dear life-she could sense death was closing in. But she wasnt going to let someone Percy truly cared about die while she was there.

She swam lightning fast to collect what she needed and got straight to work.

No words were spoken, nothing had to be said, Percys green eyes glowed as he watched from the ocean ground, !reader getting treatment while he stood powerless. Yet again, he had been made of pawn for the gods.

Percy would sit his ass down so fast on that damn throne and scream Poseidons name, thats right, not father. Just Poseidon.

His screamed carried out for miles in the ocean. Not even the God himself could ignore such a strong cry.

"What is it tha--" Poseidon couldnt finish his sentence when he saw a rage so deep on his sons face he almost didnt want to know why or who managed to set him off so badly.

"Fix it." Anger rushed in Percys vains, he could only take countless deep breaths, keeping his fists close to his sides and biting back a sneer. Poseidon looked taken aback, fix what?

The Seagod then glanced to the right and saw an unknown stranger in his temple, laying on the ground as countless creatures tried to help, fish, stingrays, shark, even mythical being helped with the treatment and tried to reassure Amphitrite that she was only doing her best.

"My son-" Poseidon couldnt make miracles, he cant just hand them out. Percy knew that, but he still cut him off because he didnt want to hear the same old words.

"Gods do not meddle in mortal affairs. That is why we are Gods". Percy couldnt help but have bitter thoughts to that.

"At least, make the hole disappear". Percy threw out his hand sin frustration, water starting to bubble around him as the temperature increased and his eyes glowed green in the ambient temple that was only lit by a couple of lanters/torches nearby.

"I understand youre angry but--" Poseidon would argue against him, even his son. Percy threaten to ask for help on his knees in front of another Gods and put shame on the family´s name, telling others that "not even Poseidon himself could do anything".

In the end, Poseidon had no choice. With a flick on the Gods hand and a wave with his tridant, !reader would escape from death this time.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

While the reader was passed out, because fo the amount of Godly help they got, their body was completely exhausted and fatigued of the amount of power that suddenly washed over them.

Percy floated back and forth rapidly, pulling his jet black hair apart.

The room seemed to grow hot and cold as if it didnt know which temperature it really was supposed to take.

The air buzzed with energy and grew somewhat tense, the sound of water was loud, vibrating - instead of a distant hum.

On land, boats would suffer tide after tsunami, making an appearance on the local news. "Giant wave warning! Dont go near the beach!". Some newsreporters were even saying that some evacuation mihgt be neaded, because the beach was suffering a flood.

The colour of the ocean had somewhat changed, at least where Percy was. The colour that was once bright and a pretty blue, were now a disgusting murky colour that looked like it had been filthy with trash.

As time passed Percy would suffer mental breakdowns and feel nauseous from replaying what had happened.

His stepmother would leave Percy alone, figuring that she didnt want to face his wrath.

After about two hours, when they had awoken, they could see a blurred image of a person sitting down on their bed. Percys was leaning his head in his lap and kept putting pressure against his head from a mighty headache he had given himself. His eyes shut and the buzzing in his ears muffling any sound of movement from !reader.

"Mh.!" One sound was all it took for Percy to make him pause and pull himself out of his chaotic headspace, before a look of relief washed over him.

It was almost cute how easily he gets happy when !reader is okay. Imagine a character from a TV-series seeing their loved one again is alive, its beautiful.

Percys eyes had a shimmer to them now, glossy from relieved happiness. He pulled them into a tight hug before he harshly pulled himself away, scared he might hurt you.

But them remember that that wasnt possible since they had fully healed.

"Ah.." Percy sighed in disbelief as he laid his eyes upon them. They were okay. A lonely tear ran down his cheek and they ushered him forward with outstretched arms.

A hug can say so much. It speaks on so many volumes. youre here. youre alive. thank god. oh my god i cant believe this. stop, this cant be real. oh my god. please dont leave me again.

He had a hard time talking after that. He kept hiccuping as he sobbed harder by the second. His body shook and seemed to incredibly frail, !reader could only wrap reassuring arms around him.

In the end, Percy would lay comfortably on the bed, next to them. And fall asleep from the events that had happened that very day.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was mentally exhausting how much he loved them. Not just to a normal degree, but to every single level. Percy just loves the people he holds close to much, he gets overwehlmed.

When he only had Grover in school, he could only rely on him. Annabeth and Tyson came and he finally had the power to protect. This time however, it had failed him. He couldnt protect them.

After this, Percy would train himself broken and damaged until he was sure that he could throw himself in front of them if it ever were to happen. Or that he could, perhaps manage to get on his feet faster or duck quicker and become more agile.

He would ask Chiron to train him or give him personal constructive criticism, but Chiron tells him hes already great-and cannot give anything.

Percy would pull so many muscles, slashing his sword with a brooding look on his face. He imagined it. over and over and over again. That monster that he couldnt defeat.

Because the fact that he couldnt protect them meant that he couldnt protect anyone. A failure to protect the people around him, is a failed quest.

He took it as a personal insult to his skill and who he is as a person.

He would ask Annabeth for battle strategies, insput on anything he can take in.

Spend time observing the !reader became a habit. Almost in a controlling or anxious way. He started doing in a subconscious way too. During dinner, his eyes would glaze upon the open area of tables, searching for them and making sure theyre safe.

After this incident, his eyes kept searching for danger. Anythign that could potentially ruin his peace.

If !reader was a lover, he would sneak into their bedroom to sleep in their bed. He had never done that before prior to the relationship but his anxiety would let him rest, he needed to be there.

He could also be more into PDA, slinging an arm around his friend / s/o´s shoulders as a way to ground himself.

He would feel the safest at sea and in his own cabin room, where he could truly have control.

At night, with Blackjack he would make sure the camp was safe and that the sea would be calm because any loud tides or tsunamis would distract him if there were potential threats.

“I see you made it. Here take a seat!” Mark sat down beside the older man on the bleachers. “Why are we here. I told you what I wanted. I told you my wish. How is this going to help!?” The old man just laughed at him. “You’ll see. Come on sit down. “. Mark angrily say down beside the older man. Fuming. He had already signed a contract with the man. All he wanted was his wish. His son wanted to act like he was too good for him and wouldn’t speak to him anymore. His wish was simple. He wanted to ruin the best moment of his sons life in any way he could. “So I was thinking about your wish. And I know the way way to make it happen.” The old man sat watching the game below on the field. Mark began watching and soon realized … “hey that’s my sons team! He’s good. I told him he would always be good is he actually applied d himself…wait….he looks different”. Even Mark could tell his son was different even though he hadn’t seen him in years. It had been a long time since his son left for college and cut off all contact. He didn’t even know which college his son went to. “He is different. He came to a few weeks ago and made his own wish. Said he would pay any price. He said he wanted to be too alpha jock at his school. So I changed some stuff. Made him pack on some serious muscle mass, made him taller, feet bigger, made his metabolism shoot through the roof..” he looked over at Mark. “In fact I made him the opposite of you!” And the old man laughed.

“Great so what you’re telling me is that you made him even more unbearable! You know I can’t believe this ! You bring me here just to rub this in my face!” Mark was angrily shouting at this point and didn’t even notice the old man was counting down from 5. Mark demanded to know if the old man was even listening to him. 1. The crowd erupted as Mark’s son caught the football. Making his team win and effectively making his football career take off. The team swarmed Mark’s son to congratulate him.

The old man looked a Mark. His mouth was agape in shock. “What’s going on!?” Mark began to panic. The old man just laughed. “Well hello Gabe nice to see you again. I granted your wish.” The new Mark began to panic. “No no no! This is t my wish. I wanted to be too alpha jock! No matter the cost!!” And the old man laughed again. “Exactly. And this is the cost. You had the body of an Adonis. The top alpha jock. But I couldn’t figure out the price. And the. Your father came and said he wanted to ruin the best moment of your life in any way he could. So I knocked out two birds with one stone!”

Gabe looked down at his bulging stomach. A heavy beer gut blocking his view. “How. How!! How long do I hav to be like this!” The old man thought for a moment. “You know. Neither of you specified the time frame for either of your wishes. What’s a pity. I think you’ll need to get used to this.” Gabe began to shout. This time catching his fathers attentions who had already dropped to the ground taking his shirt off and flexing. “You can’t leave me stuck like this !” And the old man just laughed and disappeared. Leaving Mark and Gabe swapped for good.

questionnaire:

how do they feel about living in sol city? have they always lived there or did they travel from another settlement? vera first lived on a planet far, far away. then vera lived in what was once known as new york city ( you know, so she can have natasha lyonne's hot raspy new yorker thing ). then area 51 what was once known as nevada. but sometimes <3 you need a change of pace <3 and to get away from the united states government <3 so, like... why not go all the way to the continent formerly known as australia? <3

Summary: There were many theories about his identity (some more ridiculous than others) but the fact was, none of the SI workers actually knew which one was true. And that’s why they all settled on calling him The Kid.

It’s not like he was really secretive or didn’t talk to anybody. It was quite the opposite actually. He was very talkative and his mouth seemed to never shut up. But he just rarely was in one place long enough to have a longer, meaningful conversation about his identity with anybody. Or he talked so much that nobody had an occasion to ask him any questions.

So he stayed a secret to everyone working in the tower. Until, one day, to everyone’s surprise, he came to SI with a field trip from Midtown High.

[wildwinterlunas]

I read your post about Ashe, Kiriko and Lucio being leaders, so I wanted to ask what are the Overwatch trio's (Ana, Jack, Gabriel) biggest flaws as leaders?

It's a bit hard to guess since we only see them in leadership positions near the end of Overwatch when the public has turned against them so I have no idea how they lead people without the pressure of Overwatch's public image looming over them (especially Jack).

With Jack and Gabe it's rather easy since a lot of they're mistakes are either shown or just stated in interactions, but something all three of them have in common is an unhealthy work-life balance. Ana is implied to have neglected Pharah and Sam (he's not blameless and I am going to make a post about that) because of her work with Overwatch, Reyes and Martina seem to have been either in a bad place or divorced, we also don't know much about his kid, which says a lot about his priorities are, and we all know what happened with Jack and Vincent.

Jack

Jack was too easy and too trusting of people he shouldn't have, specifically Gabriel and especially after the Rialto incident. We see Moira address this in one of her interactions with Jack, stating that he never really did look too closely at what Blackwatch, what Reyes, was doing. Allowing Gabe to hire Moira and for the first seeds of Talon to be planted within Overwatch's ranks. In fact the only Blackwatch member we see have any sort of dynamic with Solider 76 that isn't really surface level is Cassidy, which makes sense cause we see Cassidy being on Jack about the shit Blackwatch has been up to. I think we see Jack over-correct this in the present, being overly hostile to people and being adamant about not joining the Recall.

This all being said, I think out of the three of them Jack made the best Strike Commander, he was chosen for a reason afterall. The mistakes he made are actually rather easy to make and when he did get involved with Blackwatch he made the right decisions, an example I can think of is that he's implied to not only allowed Cassidy to join Blackwatch, but participate in Overwatch missions too. The mistakes he made were just made worse by the fact he had a whole organisation working against him.

Gabriel

Now let's talk about Reyes, let's start with the fact that it's implied that he participated in some police brutality before the SEP program. He's stated to have been "hard on crime" while he was with the LAPD, which is a very specific phrasing and in context of Reyes it can only mean one thing. Him being brutal and ruthless as a leader was good in the Crisis cause that's what they needed, but it's also why Command changed to Morrison in the time when the world was at peace.

This is a big factor in how he failed as a leader in Blackwatch. I think where he fails most egregiously is in the treatment he shows others. I have talked in length about how toxic of an environment Blackwatch was and Reyes didn't help, there's a reason Genji and Cassidy show immense amount of guilt and regret about the stuff they did in Blackwatch. There's a reason Genji's mental health didn't seemingly improve until he moved to an Overwatch Strike Team. There's a reason why it's specified that Cassidy only took bounties for causes he believed in. There's a reason why the only Blackwatch agent Genji is implied to still talk to in Storm Rising is Cassidy.

Not only was Blackwatch an unhealthy work environment but he took risks that put both Strike teams and innocent lives in danger. I've also talked about this but you may be able to call Cassidy reckless and impulsive but he never put anyone other then himself at risk. We see the kinds of risks Cassidy takes in both Reunion and New Blood, all of which are to help another person and all of which only put himself and his opponent at risk.

There is also the fact that he hired Moira, even though his second in command and the head of the medical department, very much disagreed with that choice. Moira was a secret hire, Reyes new hiring her wasn't going to be approved, and with good reason!

Ana

Ana is harder to pin down since she was in as a high ranking position as Jack and Gabe. She was a Captain, a second in command, but I do think a big part of the flaws of her leadership, and something she still does today but to a lesser extent, is not listening to the wishes of others. Angela not wanting her tech to be used as a weapon, Pharah wanting to join Overwatch, allowing Reyes to do the shit he did either for the same reason Jack did or just straight up ignorance and inaction.

Ana admits her faults in New Blood when talking to Cassidy, she doesn't exactly say what she did wrong, how she failed, in the ways that we see with Reyes and Jack. She says it in a general way that implies the mistakes they made were the same mistakes as hers. Also re-reading New Blood, Ana seemed to have been just as ruthless as Reyes with Cassidy stating "Never knew you to leave an enemy alive".

Ana is often stated as the person who should have gotten the position of Strike Commander but I think that if that was the case things would have turned out worse for her and Pharah specifically. With Reyes's family we at the very least know Martina was, and still is, a posotive presence in they're kids life. Meanwhile with Sam we know that isn't the case, his and Pharah's relationship is described as "complicated" and with him being a public servant I think he made the same mistake with raising Pharah as Ana did. Now with that, think how much worse this dynamic would be if Ana had the pressure and the responsibility of Strike Commander. It would not end well.

Very disappointed in Gabe getting Medusa'ed by accident like in the movie. Kind of... almost worse, actually, because in this case he was already dealt with without getting Medusa'ed.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if Disney didn't want a protagonist you're supposed to like to kill someone even in justified circumstances (abusive relationship she couldn't get out of otherwise due to threats of violence and financial dependence - that being the book's situation anyway).

In which case... Yeah, he... Didn't need to die in this version of the story. It felt like a sort of "hey here's what happened to him in the book! It's happening here too! But he did it to himself by violating Percy and Sally's privacy, which is the reason he deserved it in this world."

Idk... I like the changes to the gods' personalities, with Poseidon actually being a loving father from the get-go. I liked Percy specifying "first blood" in the fight with Ares, so the end of the fight didn't have to be stopped by Ominous Forces™. I loved Olympus. Big fan of seeing the bolt go all electric in Zeus's hands.

Percy's home life in the TV show just isn't how I'd prefer it to be written. Oh well

Hi Ditto!

I’m sending this through the good ol’ totally functioning all the time mobile app. I have no idea of the journey this ask will go through to reach its destination, but I hope it gets there. I hope.

I guess I need to ask a question to make it an ask, huh? *throws a dart at a spinning wheel*

If you could take some or all of the amigos and place them in a different movie or show, which one would you pick (other than Sofia the First since it’s the same world)?

I feel like the amigos might enjoy an Indiana Jones type of adventure, but honestly the possibilities are endless. I was just curious as to your thoughts.

Thank you for your time! I appreciate it :)

I wanna drop them in the RWBY-verse!

(Also I know you specified the amigos but bear with me here I'm going in full au concept mode):

A sizable number of characters—any of the Flores-es (bonus points for Elena and Lucía), any of the de Alvas, Scarlett, Ash, at least 3/5 named sirenas, and that's just off the top of my head—already have perfectly valid RWBY character names

Elena's emotion powers are her semblance, obviously

(and Esteban's teleportation is his)

on the topic of sirenas... are fish faunus a thing in RWBY? I'm not actually all that familiar with the lore, but I feel like adapting sirenas as faunus makes the most sense

the amigos are already in a group of 4 for a huntsman team

...although what their team name would be is throwing me. I'm assuming Elena would be the leader, so that would put the E first? maybe Team EMGN (imagine)? Team ENGM (enigma)? what counts as "evocative of a color?"

..........team EGMN (eggman)????

anyway someone please give these kids some comically impractical firearms, some trauma-metaphor superpowers, and set them loose against literal nightmare creatures, I think it would be fun

ALso fun is the idea of dropping the amigos into the world of Revenant as they are—Elena gets mistaken for a Maiden within like 30 seconds of arriving and literally no-one knows what to make of Mateo bc actual magic is supposed to be restricted to a very select group in that world. Maybe his magic is assumed to be just a really versatile semblance? Gabe and Jaune bond as sword bros and someone attaches a gun to the end of Naomi's lasso. Hijinks ensue.

[attempted--eloquence]

do you think liam is an anchor for theo being good? just to preface i’d like to say i understand why people hate when people say theo (or any characters) sole motivation to change or to do anything is love for another character but i was rewatching s6 and while i believe theo changed because he wanted to do the right thing and become good, there was other influence there. for some reason, liam brings him back (bc idc he’s reasoning for bringing theo back and refusing to send him back doesnt 1/

make sense especially when you consider how theo doesn’t have any powers and his overall usefulness is fairly limited and seems like stuff they could’ve figured out on their own plus liam seems genuinely upset when he says “scott was right, i was wrong” when he thinks theo went evil again) he is somewhat coerced in doing the right thing by liam. i think he quickly figures out liam is his safety here (grabbing malias wrist to keep her from killing him, refusing to send him back, “liam’s the (2/

one with the sword”) so he naturally sticks with him. all of the good he does in s6 is for the direct benefit of the pack or to help/protect liam (who, by the time he stops liam from killing gabe, seems to be mutually anchors with) and it seems his motivation in this season is similar to his motivation in s5 but instead of looking for a way into the pack through power he’s looking for a way in through acceptance with the end goal being the same: he wants to be loved. he even tells mason (3/

“maybe i want to be in the pack” which seems like something weird for him to say since usually he’s very clear in what he says and wants but adding maybe seems like he’s testing the waters and when mason angrily rebuffs him he looks genuinely upset and ashamed (and then again when he can’t take masons pain). which brings us back to liam. i may be wrong but that’s one of the last interactions theo has with any other member of the pack with the exception of liam and again he’s drawn to helping (4/

him. when scott calls theo for help, he specified that “liam and the others” need help and theo is seen racing off and then immediately zeroing in on liam (who would’ve been the least vulnerable given he was the only one at the hospital with supernatural strength) and stays to fight with him after liam suggests they fight together). the only action i can think of where theo does something good that isn’t to the benefit of the pack is when he takes gabe’s pain. he’s redemption arc comepletes (5/

here because it’s the first completely unnecessary act of good that he does and one that proves he cares about others. but the thing is he seems like his main motivation for whatever he does in the future would be loyalty and love. assuming theo gets accepted into the pack in the future (scott calls him an ally in the finale and just assuming he has a relationship with liam too that makes him eventually a part of the pack) his care he showed in s6 to the needs of the pack would only increase (6/

so his tie to doing the right thing would be dependent on them. like i always feel that if he were to be accepted into the pack he’d have to follow the no murder rule but if something happened to liam it would be enough for him to become an anti hero or villain in his revenge. idk it just seems to me that his interest in doing the right thing might largely be dependent on the interests and needs of the people he loves (7/7)

I always have a hard time answering these because I feel like there are soooo many ways to interpret Theo and his motivations in s6. My short answer would be a tentative no, I don’t think Liam acts as an anchor for Theo’s goodness, but mainly because I don’t think Theo needs a person to help him fall in line with some benevolent sense of morality, if that makes sense? But stay with me!! I might have a point somewhere in here 😅

This is probably gonna be so incoherent buttttt I think that it’s important to consider how doing things “for the direct good of the pack/Liam” may have also been beneficial to Theo himself (especially right when Liam brought him back). Not to say I think Theo is only ever driven by self-interest, but I just think Theo wanted to be as far away as possible from the Skinwalkers Prison and that could’ve a primary motivator for his actions when he was first brought back because his compliance = survival (which. Fucking oof. Very Dread Doctors reminiscent :/) But obviously things get shaken up once the sword is broken.

I feel like I always ramble about this but I dunno I just think there’s so much instability and aimlessness in Theo’s life in s6. And time to think. About, like, everything. I think the idea of Theo “changing” after the Skinwalkers Prison is something that’s really difficult to assign moral weight to because 1.) he went through a personalized torture loop for months on end and 2.) the Dread Doctors are gone. His actions look different because his life is completely different, you know??

Regarding the scene where Scott asks Theo to go help at the hospital that you mentioned, the way Theo zooms over there. Prior to that, as far as we can tell, Theo’s just, like. Sitting there in his truck. Same with the spider scene? He’s just sitting in his truck. We get a whole montage of Theo being asked to move by cops while sleeping in his truck, and it has always made me wonder just how much of his life has been compressed to this one tiny space? Like s5 Theo is a fucking busybody. It’s like he’s everywhere, keeping tabs on everyone all the time. But the interior of truck, just. That’s not a lot of room to just sit alone with your own thoughts and memories and shit. I totally believe that Theo wanted to help. But I also believe that Theo wanted (needed?) something to do. Liam, for a lot of s6, is his “something to do.” (In a completely unsexy non-euphemism way lmao).

That isn’t to minimize Theo and Liam’s relationship in s6 though! Absolutely think that Theo had a respect and appreciation for Liam that went beyond “this guy brought me back guess I’m indebted to him now.” And I think that respect was gradually reciprocated by Liam. And when the two of them aren’t arguing, there’s this weird air of normalcy between them?? Almost like if they didn’t always have to fight for their fucking lives every time they were together, they could have fun? I could totally be wrong but I feel like the only other scenes of Theo having these goofy, low-stakes moments (like the fucking ghost riders key finding scene or the car scene post-zoo w/ Liam) are s5 when he’s like, manipulating his ass off trying to ingratiate himself with the pack (like the Malia driving lessons and whatnot). I think that Liam offers him normalcy more than a motivation to be good.

Hey there! It's Anonymous again, coming back with some Headcanon questions! Since we've talked about Chenrich headcanons, what would you say are some personal headcanons about Gabe's relationship with Charlotte? Any headcanons of how Alex's relationship with Charlotte would develop after Gabe's death? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Hello there! Wow, this is interesting. Thank you for asking!

I think Gabe and Charlotte complement each other because Gabe has such a positive, laid-back nature while Charlotte is more of a serious, ambitious go-getter— even when meeting Alex for the first time, she still says she has to leave to finish up some art pieces before they’re due— and they both uplift the other.

Gabe can be a little forgetful (and I think that’s the source of the whole “Gabe Chen buys makeup flowers for angry girlfriend” line) but he always cares and makes sure to show it. Since Alex and Charlotte are both so artistic and creative, it would be funny if Gabe doesn't have a single artistic bone in his body and is instead really great with numbers— he takes care of all the budgeting and logistics in their little family unit. He’s learned to be satisfied and fulfilled with his bartending job and looking after Ethan. It’s nothing glamorous, but it’s really all he needs, and Charlotte is happy that he’s happy.

Besides their interests and personalities, I think Gabe was drawn to Charlotte the same way he was drawn to Haven Springs and Ryan and Steph: a deep need for connection and shared, painful pasts. The “Meet the Cast” blog post confirms that Charlotte is 28 and had been a single mom to Ethan. Ethan is currently 10, so she was a teen mom and has probably been through a lot, just like Gabe. Now, she’s turned her life around, just like Gabe, and is a beloved and successful artist and runs the medical marijuana dispensary in town. Gabe is always there to support all of her endeavors. Charlotte is also 3 years older than Gabe, so Gabe respects Charlotte deeply. Like Ryan, Gabe is a total gentleman and knows how to flatter with chivalry and genuine affection. I don’t think this is the first bouquet of flowers he’s bought for Charlotte, and he’s probably bought gifts or made her dinner to apologize for the smallest arguments. She always finds herself shaking her head in disbelief and saying, “I can’t stay mad at you,” with a smile.

Gabe has also become a total family man and very proudly calls himself “like, dad plus” (which Alex laughs at, but probably secretly appreciates, because that’s why she’s in Haven now!). Gabe initially turned to cooking to work through the grief of losing his parents, but by now it’s become a great hobby of his and he loves cooking all types of worldly cuisines, much to Charlotte and Ethan’s delight. But what’s interesting is that Charlotte’s character description in the blog post specifies that “she helped bring Alex to Haven,” showing that she wants to welcome Alex in as family as well. Charlotte is warm and welcoming to Alex from the start, saying “So glad you’re here, Alex. I’m looking forward to getting to know you.” Since Charlotte is 7 years older than Alex, she becomes an older sister figure to Alex, which she sorely needs after so many years in foster care with a well-meaning, but not always available social worker (Dr. Lynn).

Alex would be happy just watching Charlotte paint for hours, listening to soft grainy tunes on Charlotte’s handheld radio, sipping a drink from the Black Lantern, all in a comfortable silence. When Charlotte describes how joyful and free she feels while making art and a golden aura starts to form around her, Alex nods and smiles because yes, that’s exactly it. That’s just how she feels when she’s holding a guitar and a song is on her lips.

Charlotte helps fill in the gaps after Gabe dies. In the days immediately following his death, when Alex would cry at every thought of her brother, she approaches Charlotte with tears in her eyes and begs, “Tell me about Gabe. Why did you love him?” It’s painful at first, but over time Charlotte recounts every story she can think of, and Alex learns more about the man Gabe became and the boundless love he shared with everyone around him. Sometimes it’s late at night and they’re just sniffling on the couch. Other times, it’s warm and sunny, and with Ethan’s head in Alex's lap and listening to his mom tell stories, Alex feels herself healing.

The grief never truly goes away. The spring festival is a night of budding love and joy, but for Charlotte it makes the sting of her loss even sharper. So even though Alex is bursting with excitement and nerves about her concert, and possibly confessing to either Ryan or Steph with a rose, she still goes over to put a comforting arm around Charlotte’s shoulders. After Gabe died, Alex was devastated at the thought that she had no remaining family left because her parents were already gone. But as time goes on, Alex realizes that she thinks of Charlotte and Ethan as family too.

[ropebunnykant]

Where do you think Philip and Lukas are now four years on? 🥺

Oh 🥺🥺🥺 this is such a cute ask, hold on

I don’t think the show ever specified whether they were in their junior or senior year? But because of Lukas’s missed sponsorship opportunity, I’m gonna assume it was their senior year, which would mean that if either of them went to college, they’d be out of it by now. Which, I’m positive Philip did go to college, if only to appease Helen because as supportive as she is of his photography, I just know she was always telling him he needs to have a backup plan.

Speaking of Helen and Gabe, they never officially adopted Philip, and Philip still refers to both of them as their names. It doesn’t change the impact either have had on him, though, and he still 100% considers them parental figures and his family. He and Lukas even still go to Tivoli every weekend to have dinner with them and Bo.

Which, Bo has gotten so much better by this point. Maybe this is purely self-indulgent, but I truly believe that talking to Gabe and nearly losing Lukas was a fucking wake up call. It took a while, and he slipped up a lot in the process, and he even still does sometimes, but he loves Lukas, and has even grown to love Philip as a son, too. He’s trying, and that’s the most important thing.

Now onto the shit you really asked about, our boys ❤️❤️ They’re engaged.

Allow me to expand further. It’s a more recent development, because like I said Philip went to college and I totally picture him being the type to focus more on his studies, as much as he loves Lukas. So, while it wasn’t long after the “one month later” sequence that they realized they were it for each other, and they started really talking about a future together at the end of their senior year, they agreed not to get engaged until Philip had graduated.

Hear me out: Lukas proposed. After all the shit that went down, Phillip (rightfully so) always had a sort of lingering insecurity that he was in it more than Lukas was. He was always somewhat scared that Lukas was gonna hurt him again.

And Lukas isn’t stupid, he knows he fucked up so much, and he did everything he could to make that up to Philip, starting with the party in Redhook where he kissed him in front of everybody. He even specifically told Philip one day that he’d spend the rest of his life making it up to him, showing him how much he loves him, trying to be better than he was.

Slowly Philip started to believe it, to trust Lukas more than he ever had trusted anyone, to believe in the love he felt for Philip.

Lukas, though, never thought it was enough. His therapist (because they both started seeing one after Ryan Kane died, they’d both needed it for a long time and just even more so after witnessing a triple homicide) worked on his guilt with him a lot, but there was just always that gnawing feeling for Lukas, that he’d hurt the person he loved the most. It’s also just the case that he believes that Philip deserves the world, so spoiling him and showing him the love he has for him was always gonna be the outcome either way.

So, at Philip’s graduation, Lukas proposed. Not in front of the whole class, because Philip would kill him for that, but at dinner, later that night, with Helen and Gabe and Bo present.

Of course Philip said yes, he didn’t even let Lukas finish the question before he was kissing the shit out of him and then nodding against his shoulder as he hugged him.

They haven’t set a date yet, but they have put down a few ideas and talked about it quite a few times. It doesn’t matter so much to them the when at the moment, just the confirmation that it’s going to happen is enough for them.

They live together, too, but that’s not a new development. They moved into an apartment in the city while Philip was about two years into college, closer to where Philip was going, but also not too far from Tivoli. Their parents had to help them for the first few months while they got on their feet, but they did eventually figure everything out.

Lukas, by the way, got another chance with Trevvy Tools. They decided to sponsor him nearly immediately after his graduation, and it really kicked off his career. It keeps him busy, and he has to travel a lot, but he does everything he can to make sure it doesn’t affect his relationship with Philip, because that’s the most important thing to him.

Which, honestly? Philip didn’t pursue photography. I know, I know, I know!!! But like I said, he started getting his degree because Helen was on him about it, but he became very aware of the fact that he wanted to pursue a career as a history teacher. He hasn’t found a permanent position yet, but he works as a sub at a nearby high school and he also helps out with the photography club there.

They also have a cat. They both originally wanted to get a big dog, but their apartment doesn’t allow for that, and they definitely didn’t wanna get a smaller dog because they both find them annoying, so they went for a cat. She’s a cute little calico named Annie (yes, that’s close to Anne for a reason. Philip thought of his mother immediately, but calling her just Anne didn’t really fit, and he knew it would be too hard to name her just Anne.) and she’s about two years old, but they only got her a year ago.

Tbh I didn’t realize how many thoughts I had about all this until I got this ask, but here ya go skdjdkfj

Gabriel: I couldn’t really refuse after Nathalie called them all to offer them a free meal. And didn’t tell me she had until they all turned up expecting one.

Greatly evolved from the original (source: Cabin Pressure), as I find happens when I do incorrect quotes! Though this is quite an extreme example! I might turn this into a proper fanfiction at some point as well ...

I had to look up “mulled” and “clothes” to make sure they were monosyllabic, because I wasn’t entirely sure. They are, according to howmanysyllables dot com.

barzzal’s mobile guidelines

hi! here are some guidelines for a quick run down of what you can expect on the writing side of this blog. listed below the cut are some rules and hockeys i’ll be writing for. please don’t ignore this post in case you’re planning to send a request. thank you!

requests: closed

masterlist: the barn

writing tags:

imagines, blurbs, headcanons, wet weekends

writing guidelines:

— requests are open! do keep in mind that i write at my own pace but i assure you that i’ll work on it as soon as i can. hope you’ll be fine with that!

— i do appreciate likes, but reblogs and feedbacks will surely go a long way! they’re just as important and it wouldn’t hurt to help a girl out, amirite! appreciate authors and their fics! validate us in the tags!! :’))

— my nsfw works are strictly for adults only! (18+) if you’re a minor, please don’t interact in any of my smut writings. do not consume content you’re not supposed to and was clearly not intended for you.

— i sincerely hope you would be considerate enough to honor all of the things stated on here.

— if you do have more questions, feel free to hmu my askbox is always open for everyone! talk to me!

what i write:

fluff → domestic themes, feel good imagines, all that cute and tooth rotting stuff!

angst → break ups, relationships in a rut, falling out, jealousy, and all that goes under the category of hurting yourself with a fic just to make you feel things... yes i love that pls send more angsty concepts <3

smut → we all want the naaaasty! give it! i don’t write polyamory btw it’s not my strongest suit but we’ll see (we’ll never know)

imagines, blurbs, headcanons → i usually write requests in the form of blurbs/hc. if it gets longer than a blurb i might publish it as a full imagine. but don’t worry, i’ll make sure to include your request on it. do lmk which one you’d want the concept written in.

everything “x fem!reader” → i avoid any race-giving description/s as much as possible even tho i’m a poc. nonetheless, you are free to specify if you want the imagine to be more tailored to you.

real person fiction → i might write au’s occasionally but i prefer writing for them as hockeys and themselves.

also, i love angst more than anything! so pls dont hesitate to send me angsty concepts. <3

what i don’t write:

i hold every right to simply not write what i’m not comfortable with as i give you the right to not support what i wrote if you’re not comfortable with it. give and take boo x

i strictly don’t write for problematic players. i don’t think i need to stress on this any further.

i don’t write for married/family man hockeys. this is pretty self explanatory. pls don’t send requests for gabe landeskog, matt martin, carey price, casey cizikas, travis konecny, and the like. if someone from the list i write for eventually gets married or have a child, assume that they will be taken off it as well.

what you can send other than requests:

my inbox is always open and i answer as soon as i can soo shoot whatever you wanna or just talk and have a chat with me :-))

PLEASE for the love of all things good and pure, send me thots!!! your girl badly needs it

disclaimer: this is fiction. that means the way i write these boys is not/will never be an appropriate justification of how or who they are in real life. rpf authors use celebrities as the yardstick of a certain character limited only as the ff. a face claim, a name, a and few attributes/personalities but it shall never depict how they really are as a person. i love them yes, but keep in mind that they are men. and we all know that men are shitty as hell.

who i write for: you can send blurb/headcanon requests for these people + do not send requests for players that are not on the list

note: the list is in alphabetical order (team wise) and their specific tags. names without links mean i’m yet to write a full-imagine for them. nevertheless, feel free to check my masterlist for blurbs and/or headcanons of said players.

do you have any fic recs?

absolutely! since you didn’t specify pairing, here’s a mixed bag:

Rock and Roll Never Looked so Beautiful by cedarbranch - Gerard Way is a rising solo artist, set to become the next big thing in the alternative scene. Frank Iero is a trashy punk with a reputation of his own as the frontman of Pencey Prep.

frank/gerard. poignant, smart, tender, made me cry the first time i read it.

not smashing windows by inlovewithnight - In the beginning, they were the scene. An origin story.

gabe/mikey. great characterizations, killer dialogue, and a fun exploration of the old jersey scene.

Vices & Vices by scarredsodeep - 2010 isn't a good year for Brendon Urie. It's not a good year for Pete Wentz either. At least they aren't at rock bottom alone...

kind of brendon/pete, revolving around past patrick/pete and brendon/ryan. i don’t even read panic fic normally but this is like a lyrical masterpiece to me. mind the tags, though.

Spun by dear_monday - If there's one thing Gerard dislikes more than his job at the Needle, Belleville's premier independent record store, it's his co-workers. Frank has an attitude problem, Ray has a stick up his ass, and the less Gerard knows about what Mikey has, the better.

frank/gerard. this is like my pick-me-up fic, it’s witty and hot and amazing. it’s also an empire records au if you happen to know that movie.

You Will Leave a Mark by brooklinegirl - Gerard is twenty-two, drunk, lonely, and really, really needs to get out of the basement.

frank/gerard. i remember this one having a big emotional impact on me. angsty, relatable.

Ass-Kickin' Chick Music by ladyfoxxx - She's not someone's girlfriend. She's not anyone's anything. She's a fucking force. Gee doesn't know if she wants to be her or fuck her.

girl!frank/girl!gerard. as implied in the title, this story kicks ass.

Away With The Boys In The Band by inlovewithnight - My Chemical Romance, in the world where Mikey has always been a girl.

mikey/otter, mikey/gabe, mikey/pete, mikey/alicia. obviously i really like inlovewithnight’s style, and this is just such a cool retelling of the band’s story from a new angle.

(disclaimer that most of the fics here contain adult content in one way or another. read the tags/ratings and be responsible please.)

hope that helps! by the way, these were all taken from my bookmarks, which is a rec list in its own right if you’re looking for more :D

Are you still taking steggy prompts?! Cause I would love to read something along the lines of Peggy was given the serum on her death bed and shes young again but has all her memories, and Steve finds out ♥️

okaaaay so i haven’t seen civil war and refuse to, so my understanding of it is nonexistent but we will base this NOT on civil war. 

--

You should come see this. - NR

Steve frowned at the simple message across his screen, palming the phone in his hands. See what exactly? Natasha knew better than to try to draw Steve out of his room. He needed this time alone to process what in the hell had happened.

Peggy Carter was dead.

Steve knew it would happen. She was reaching close to 90. [He wasn’t sure her exact age given the fact she’s mentioned she’s lied on her forms about her age to him. He was impressed, considering his own lying never worked.] Her mind was slowly giving out on her. Her nurses made mention how it was harder and harder for Peggy to be 100% coherent and not start to slip. Or how she struggled to remember to eat some days.

It hurt. Physically hurt to see Peggy like that. A woman so strong brought down by her own mind. It hurt. But Steve refused to leave Peggy’s side, not when he and Sharon were just about one of the only people who could pull Peggy from herself. He refused to leave her. He couldn’t.

Peggy was one of the only lasting people from his past. A lifetime he’s never gotten to live, with a wife he never got to have. She couldn’t leave him, because, without her, Steve was truly alone.

The Howling Commandos had long past beforehand, each in their own various ways. 

He was told just a day ago that Peggy had died, by text no doubt, and Steve’s world crumbled. He withdrew from the team, spending more time than necessary at the gym to feel some sort of emotion beyond this numbing sensation. The team knew better than to bother him. Sam had tried to reach out to him, to not let Steve be alone, but after the Captain had [regretfully] snapped at him, Sam backed off.

He should apologize. 

What is it? SR

Hard to explain. Shield HQ. Medical Wing. B45. NR

Steve sighed at the instructions, rubbing a hand over his face. He looked like shit with the bags under his eyes and stubble coming in, his lack of self-care brought on by depression. He couldn’t bring himself to clean himself up as he left the building, the sound of his motorcycle drowning out the sound of the city.

It was sunset by the time he reached HQ and ducked through all the security measures. The building was empty, the sounds of his feet echoing through the halls as he made his way to the closed-off wing. Weird.

What was weirder was the fact the door he was to enter was ajar. He could hear laughter coming from the other side and Steve’s blood ran cold. He knew that laugh. 

He’d first heard it when he made a comment about Hodge passed out on the ground or when Gabe insisted that he was trying to kill them with his cooking skills or when Mortita drunkenly had used his shield as a sled. She could barely keep a straight face when scolding him. Or when Howard and Bucky were the ones who threw the first snowball at her backside. 

He knew that laugh well. It haunted his dreams, but how? It didn’t sound like a recording. There was no feedback sound, no slightly pitched noise that told him so. It sounded real. 

Steve’s heart was in his throat as he gripped his hand into a fist, regretting not bringing his shield. He couldn’t bear to pick it up, the weight of it felt too much. 

The laughter rang out again and Steve gritted his teeth, shouldering the door open, forgetting his strength as it tore straight off its hinges. 

How?

Peggy Carter laid in the hospital bed. Her hair was brown and full of curls, no longer whispy and gray. Her face was flawless, not a wrinkle in sight, beyond the laugh lines around her eyes. Her eyes were so full of life and recognized him right away. Various tubes and wires escaped from her, the sound of her heartbeat told him she was alive but how?

“You...you...” His head whirled around to Natasha sitting beside her, silently demanding some explanation. He wanted to run to her, to touch her, to hold her but he refrained and just barely. 

“It’s a long story,” Natasha said in a calm voice, drawing herself to her feet. “We lied, Steve, it’s in the business of being a spy. I didn’t want to lie about this but Fury had ordered me under no circumstances were you to know about this...project. We didn’t want to get your hopes up and have them crushed again.” 

Natasha explained how Steve’s serum was recreated by Shield in the early 1990′s, to be used by the emergency of the Director only. For the Director only. Except, the clause never specified which director [a point Fury was arguing with the council with currently]. Peggy, by all means, was a Director of Shield and due to the mysterious circumstances of loss paperwork, never fully gave up her rights as Director. 

So, when it came time for her death, Fury made the decision to use it on Peggy. They weren’t sure how it would react to her, given the age and circumstances. 

“We didn’t want you to get hurt again,” Natasha told him, reiterating that point. She took the door from him, a sight that wanted to make Steve laugh but he was in too much shock to focus. “Go on. We were just talking about a few of your earlier battle tactics. Wait until James knows about the grenade.”

That drew Steve from his line fo thoughts, the haze clearing, and causing him to swallow. “You tell him about that and I tell him who really stole his favorite hoodie.”

Natasha pouted in a way that told Steve he won. Not that it mattered, his eyes were on Peggy. His legs moved slowly by themselves until he saw where Natasha did. Mere inches between them. His hands shook from the anxiety, the nerves burning in him. He couldn’t take his eyes off of her. She’d been quiet this entire time, letting Steve processes this, letting Natasha talk. She knew this was a hard thing to swallow.

“You’re late,” Steve found himself whispering, his hands closing around her own. They weren’t frail. They were strong and her fingers curled around his own.

“I think you would know a thing or two about lateness.” Despite the smile on her red lips, tears shimmered in Peggy’s eyes. She cupped Steve’s cheek, making no comment on the stubble or bags under his eyes or the tears. “I’m sure you can find it in yourself to forgive me.”

Steve gave a wet laugh as he wrapped his arms around Peggy and just about lifted her off of the bed, instead, half kneeling on it to cover her body with his body. He couldn’t stop the tears, the sobbing. 

“So-so what now?” Steve hiccuped, forced himself to pull away to try to clean himself up. He sat on the bed and held her hand, needing to touch some part of her.

Peggy used the end of the sheet to clean her cheeks off, shaking her head. “What now? I think for one, Captain, you’re going to apologize to your team for neglecting them when they were trying to help,” she gently scolded, causing Steve to flush. “For two, you need to shower, darling. I don’t know how else to put that. Living in a gym is not healthy for you.” She patted his hand in a sympathetic manner, drawing another sobbing laugh from his lips. “Now? Well, I sure hoped my best guy could give me that dance he owes me.”
