BRUH FRANCE IS GETTING MORE VILLAIN-CODED

HAHAHAAHHAA BROOOOO

[omnipotent-omnicube]

started watching acro trip and all i can say is that chroma is so silly i love him so much he's such a girlfailure

[hana-no-seiiki]

I really love how CV reader and Jason are softies, but also so fucking chaotic.

Jason might be a patricidal crime lord but he is babygirl coded.

Reader might be proud horndog and have gone insane after his death (understandable, if I had the chance to bone Jason Todd and he fucking died before I could, I would go on a killing spree) but she cares about the Robins.

They are cute chaotic and I think that makes them good for each other, they will claw at each other even if it kills them. It's cute to see a couple that is insane for each other

(That being said, I'm a slut so when can we read about Fenrir? 😍)

Yes! I love them together!! To be honest CV! Reader was mostly made for Damian and his transition to being the next Batman and their chemistry with Jason was just a happy coincidence.

BUT YESSS LMFAO!! FENRIR!!! WOOF WOOF-

Dog Villain! OC aka Fenrir's favorite pastime is calling out the freaky behavior the boys have over them.

"How do you always know where [Y/N] is anyways? You have a tracker set on them or something?" Dick jokingly asks the villain. The two were on a shaky truce as you were entrusted with a mission with Batman ever since his mentor's recent attempts at reaching out to you.

Fenrir points to his nose. The obvious answer. He then adds, "You ask as if you don't keep a set of trackers on them at all times."

He the feigned a fit of coughs as he hit the nail on the coffin, “Not to mention the drones and cameras.”

“If you knew why haven’t you gotten rid of em?” Jason stepped up, his body once leaning relaxedly on the walls of the batcave now on high alert. “Aren’t you a loyal dog?”

“I let him use the channels once in a while.” Tim raised one of his hands. Eyes fixated on you as you fought at the various screens in front of him. Whether you were winning or not, his attention was always glued to your form. A tightness forming in his chest as he wished he could be the one battling you right now.

Damian, with you on the mission on the other hand, narrowed his eyes on a fly. No. A robot? Still it was flying towards you. Without thought, he crushed it with one hand, ending one of the video feeds in an instant. “Shit.” He muttered as he had realized what he’d destroyed. He shook his head. No matter, his family had dozens of those.

Yeah he’s not above using the boys to his advantage. He’s a lot smarter than given credit for and is mostly known as your dumb, feral, yet loyal hound. Always at your beck and call.

But the truth is, he’s also not above betraying you if it meant that either his own goals of being with you are fulfilled or if he deems an action more beneficial to you in the end.

You haven’t even noticed how isolated you’ve been in the villain community when he switched sides.

Fenrir have and always will be by your side whether you like it or not. Your entanglement with your previous enemies be damned.

He thinks that your truce with Bruce won’t last long and it’ll go back to how it was. How it should be. Soon.

If not he can always make it happen.

But yeah other than that, physical features? I’ll edit in a doodle I made of him but he’s pretty twinkish in his normal form but can turn into a huge wolf the size of bus. he’s a bit of a runt. Medium length dark brown hair, tan skin, and the most enchanting golden eyes.

It doesn’t have to be said, but he hates Jason the most because (a) you two fuck so much and (b) of his size that he envies.

give him lots of pats and remind him that he’s your good boy and he’ll be at your beck and call.

[loveaurdeepression]

absolutely obsessed with protective dad miguel omg, like if on a mission where a villains being a creep he would be so feral cause THAATS HIS DAUGHTER so joel coded

Hope you like this nonnie<3333 sorry if there’s any typos.

Tw: a creep. Panic attacks and feelings of inadequacy

"You know, of all the super-heroes I've fought, I'm going to enjoy defeating you the most." the villain grins and chokes you harder, his other hand travels down the side of your spidersuit and he pins you against a wall, "I think it's the suit."

"What is wrong with you dude?" you wheeze out.

He only punches you and his hand moves from your throat to your jaw, "Careful, girly. Or I might not be as merciful as I'm being right now."

You huff, "Yeah, sure. Okay.”

You only realise he’s being serious when his eyes turn animalistic and he grips your cheeks so your mouth is slightly open. That’s when you start to thrash around. Kicking everywhere and you manage to snag him in the balls and he doubles over.

You immediately break out into a run and let out a thwip of webs to swing above him.

Unbeknownst to you or the villain, Miguel O’Hara himself is swinging at full speed to that very alleyway because he was eyes on you.

The moment, he saw the villain acting the way he did, he decided one thing.

He was going to make him suffer.

The villain finally got to his feet and let out a breath and a groan.

He heard a sound behind him, from the dark of the alleyway and dared to turn around.

Two red eyes stared into his own.

He disappeared into the darkness as he was pulled in by garnet webs. The only thing that could be heard were shrieks of pain and the sound of bones being broken.

The last thing he heard before he blacked out was a snarl, “You will never touch anyone ever again.”

——————-

You were huddled in a corner of a balcony, hugging your knees as you replayed the memory over and over again. Every breath you took hurt and only quickened with each passing moment.

It’s not that serious you idiot what is wrong with you now he’s probably gotten away and Miguel is going to be pissed

You flinch at the sound of someone landing on the balcony. And you almost let out a sob in relief when you hear Miguel’s voice.

His head whips to where you are and his mask disintegrates. His eyes widen a little and he makes himself a bit smaller and says your name softly.

Your breathing slows a little as he breathes with you. Guiding you and his hand hesitantly brings your own away from where it’s holding your hair tightly.

“You’re okay.” His voice is soft and calm, “I’m here.”

With a hiccup you throw your hands around him, “I’m sorry, I fucked up.”

“Hey.” He pats your back soothingly, “it’s okay. I got him. The mission is over.”

“But you shouldn’t have had to.” Your voice breaks against his shoulder and so does his heart.

“I don’t care.”

“Did you kill him?”

“Almost.”

You pull back to look into his eyes, “sorry.”

“Shut up.never apologise. No one hurts my kid and and gets away with it.”

“Okay.”

“I’m serious. Understand?” He cups your cheeks softly, and your face scrunches up as tears form, “oh babygirl.” He breathes out as you start to sob.

“I just.. don’t want to be a burden.” You wheeze out between sobs.

That’s when he understands it’s not just about that asshole.

“You’re not a burden, honey.” He says against your hair as you hug him again.

He shushes you as your sobs only grow.

“Hey. Hey.” He pulls you away gently to look you in the eyes, “look at me. You’re not a burden. You’re a valuable asset to this team and we’re all lucky to have you. If anyone of them even heard what you’re saying right now, they’d be shocked. And then they’d be mad. I know that this feeling won’t go away immediately, but for today, know that none of this is your fault.”

“But he could have gotten away.”

“But he didn’t.” He reassures you.

“I can’t screw up like this, Miguel.”

“You can’t blame yourself. He was being a fucking creep and you ran away. It’s alright. You’re human.” He says your name to make a point. “And that’s okay. Okay?”

You breathe heavily and nod.

“Good. Now? Do you want to takeout? We can watch Star Wars back at home.”

You flash him a small smile, “yes please.”

He smiles and takes your hand, “Come on.”

You hug him once again and shake your head against his shoulder.

“You just wiped your nose on me, didn’t you?”

“No, what are you talking about?”

You know that the suit is a hologram right?”

“So the snot is on your shoulder?”

“I swear to god.”

[brainjvice]

You don't understand I need ryusaekai to have slumber parties where they bond over shittalking about people.

Realistically it's kaisae the mean girls coded of the three. ...To be honest, it would just be Kaiser who keeps on ranting for hours. Sae just "hmhm"s every once in a while, half interested, half focused on the excel sheet he is currently messing with.

"You get me? Like how dare he. How fucking dare he! After all I've done for him, and he has the guts to—"

"Sit!" Ryusei is the one interrupting him this time. He is lying on his stomach on the fluffy carpet in Sae's living room. Legs dangling in the air and dressed in his pink pajama, he is currently dragging the stilo on the screen of his old Nintendo DS to pet the ugly 3d model of a chihuahua.

"Could you not?!" Because of course Shidou would be playing Nintendogs in the middle of Michael's beautiful speech.

"Huh? I needed to feed Eyesocket, you go on with your disney villain-like monologue, I'm listening."

"Disney villain-like monolo– wait, did you actually name that ugly ass dog 'Eyesocket'...?"

"You are ugly! She is beautiful, don't listen to him babygirl, he has shit taste in dogs..."

"Ugh, whatever... loser."

Shidou suddenly turns to Kaiser, showing him an all fangs grin: "Oh?"

Sae sighs, looking at the beautiful histograms he was making and ultimately deciding to focus on his partners instead:

"I want to know how Mihya's story ends" he says, shifting the focus onto him. Ryusei bats his eyelashes: "I actually want to hear the end of Micchan's story as well! Ah, and I got some gossip too! On Yocchan though~" to which both Michael's and Sae's ears perk up, although for different reasons

Kaiser then scrunches up his nose and relaxes back onto the sofa: "Ok, so, as I was saying, this fucking asshole–..."

...and back to monologuing he goes.

[sillygoofyqueer]

Why is the Ithaca Saga wangxian coded and how you could write an Epic fic about it?

I'm so glad you asked Anonymous Asker on Tumblr Dot Com!

Okay so let's start with The Challenge - At the start of this song, Penelope talks about how she has been waiting for Odysseus and unravelling the tapestry she has been weaving for him for TWENTY YEARS! This is similar (to me, anyway) to how Lan Wangji plays Enquiry for Wei Wuxian every night for thirteen (or sixteen, for all those Untamed fans) years, both of them desperately waiting and hoping for any sign of their beloveds returning in their own ways - either getting home before Penelope finishes her tapestry or just replying when Lan Wangji calls for him in the night.

Then Penelope is like "yo wait...the storm....MY HUSBAND COULD BE BACK!!" and then she obviously tells all the suitors that anyone who can blah blah blah blah BLAAH (I'd write it but I'm minorly tipsy right now my bad), wanting to prove that her husband is back. To meee, this is like Lan Wangji listening to Lan Sizhui talking about Mo Xuanyu and being like "hmmm...sounds familiar. Babygirl??" I can't explain that very much but YOU KNOW?? THE VIBES!!!

Then we go onto Hold Them Down - Okay, so this one is so much more loose because I'm a moron but I do think that I can make this wangxian coded!!! Because, right, with the different suitors trying to string Odysseus' bow, it can be like the different sects vying for power - power that an alliance with the Lan Sect could bring (through MARRIAGE to WANGJI), which is why they're all trying to 'string the bow' or......court him, if that makes sense.

Then we move onto the suitors plotting to kill Telemachus so they can gain power (and what I say next is literally JUST what I think would happen) similar to how I think that if the other sects (like the Jin sect) found out about Lan Sizhui being Wen Yuan, they'd probably try and kill him too because BOOO HIIISSSS BOOOO A WENNNN!!!! (I think that'd be a cool plotline......)

Obviously then we move to the suitors being slimy bastards about Penelope, which could be like certain sects being slimy bastards about Lan Wangji!!! Like, we know it could happen because Jin Guangshan gets away with being a slimy bastard all the TIME, and as long as they're not doing it around the Lan Sect, the sects could say whatever the fuck they want!!! Man, can you tell I'm slowly going insane???

THEN!!! Odysseus. HahHAHAHAHHA. Come on pals, let me whip out the lyrics because this one was just like "WOAH HOLY SHIT!!" Alright so basically we literally start with Odysseus talking about how he's dealt with so much SHIT through the twenty years he's been gone, just to come back and hear the suitors being disgusting about his family - which can be linked in such an awesome way to Wei Wuxian because imagine that guy being like "I've been through all of this fucking SHIT (the destruction of Lotus Pier, the Burial Mounds, the Sunshot Campaign, everything with the Wens, accidentally killing his sister's fiancé, Nightless City, being ripped apart by ghosts and corpses???) and I come back to you planning to kill my SON (a Wen) and defile my HUSBAND FRIEND??" and the sects being like "oh SHIT, it's the Yiling Patriarch!!"

And then we have the suitors running and trying to escape Odysseus as he goes about and kicks their asses - and there was one quote that really got to me! So, we know that one of the suitors is like "we have the advantage!" and another one is like "No, you don't understand it, this man plans for every fight", which truly and utterly reminds me of how everyone seems to forget that Wei Wuxian was once the head disciple of Lotus Pier and literally one of the strongest cultivators of his generation due to him instead being portrayed as a villainous monster because of his demonic cultivation. The suitor dies after saying this, so I'm not sure what kind of cultivator would say such a thing!

And we can think about Odysseus being like "you think I don't know my own palace? I built it" with the second siege of the Burial Mounds, in such a cool way!! It could be like the sects running around the Burial Mounds and trying to kill Wei Wuxian but he's like "I spent so many torturous months here, you think I don't know this place like the back of my hand?" And he's just killing them off while they try to run and hide, not letting anything stop him. More killing more murder, then the suitors try and grab Telemachus to kill him - just like they'd try and grab Lan Sizhui to murder him because he's a WEN!!!

Both Odysseus and Wei Wuxian would react in the same way - I mean, did you hear the arrows fucking FLYING AT THE END OF THE SONG??? IT'S LITERALLY SO FUCKING SICK!!!!! I heard that and just thought "holy shit, Wei Wuxian with his ghostly cultivation, absolutely kicking the ASSES of everyone who dared to hurt/threaten his family???" And how both Odysseus and Wei Wuxian started their lives/journeys with peace and mercy in their hearts but everything around them piled up until they couldn't take it anymore and finally, finally fought back.

ALRIGHT I HAVE TWO MORE SONGS TO GO THROUGH BUT I DON'T KNOW IF PEOPLE ARE VERY INTERESTED????

[respectthepetty]

It's the second season of Chaser Game W, and the third episode began with my lengthy lesbian Itsuki hiding in a closet, literally.

Fuyu's mom could harness all that domme energy she possesses in her ring and use it for good, but instead she has chosen violence and abuse. This is how I know a man wrote this because no woman would be so careless to write a character like this and not see the true potential.

But I still like that the husband has become a Grey Guy.

And the flashback to Itsuki and Fuyu's university days showing how they fell in love was a nice break if only to see Fuyu open the dressing room curtain each time saying "ta-da!"

However, I was a little peeved the color-coded girls in love were still wearing each other's color as they were dealing with trials and tribulations.

Because even though they are still in love, I needed their colors to separate since Fuyu's mom is hellbent on tearing them apart with her red cup of evilness.

This scene was the worst offense. The outfit was telling me Fuyu wouldn't back down since she is wearing both her and Itsuki's colors . . .

BUT THEN SHE DID while Itsuki was fulling wearing Fuyu's color, which is rude! That is a betrayal of the colors! To have Itsuki's IN Fuyu's color when Fuyu broke up with her was a personal attack, and I'll be holding onto this grudge.

Then, on top of that color-coded hit, Fuyu's mom had someone stalking Itsuki even though Itsuki was fully back in her own color!!!

Fuyu's mom is really crazy because if I was a villain and saw someone back in her original color, I'd focus my energy other places, like being the best domme I could be.

So now Itsuki is being stalked, her apartment is being vandalized, her business is being targeted, and she is being harassed online and at work. She is just a Heavenly Human in white. She does not deserve this!

Thank goodness she has her Korean superstar lesbian to save her. I wish this show would give me poly because this babygirl would immediately give Fuyu's mom a submission bell necklace and have that woman in check by dinnertime.

But instead the episode ends with Fuyu back in black since she is powerless against her mom.

And getting slapped by Park Yeo Reum with her husband sleeping peacefully in the room.

At least the colors and the messiness are consistent.

Im sorry guys. But, make the villains as babygirl as you want so that fans can sympathise with them. But, remember whose narrative you are writing. If the main perspective in ATLA is Gaang that were hunted and harassed by Princess Azula. If we are meant to look through the lens of the older brother she bullied throughout her life, these people are would not have seen her insecure moments. These people don’t view her as a fourteen year old cog in a greater evil. In their head, she is evil personified (especially from Katara’s POV).

We, the audience, see her more vulnerable side in brief moments from her POV (which only occurs after Zuko’s POV somewhat merges with the Gaang) and in small moments from TyLee’s PoV. Even in the Ember Island episode, Azula’s vulnerability is never shown from her POV because plot twist guys AZULA DOESN’T see herself as insecure. In her own narrative, she is the monster, she is the villain. She is a fourteen year old with an over-inflated ego. She isn’t afraid of disappointing her dad or being the least favourite because SHE WAS BUILT UP BY OZAI INTO DELUSION.

She is beautiful. She is flawless. She is intelligent. She is powerful. She is THE true Fire Lord! That’s how she views herself. This ideal never crumbles- not even when she is cracks and her friends leave her. And, that is what Ozai did to her. Ozai (this abstract force in ATLA) hurt her by feeding into her delusion and manipulating her into a tool.

All of this could not have been shown if ATLA had been told through Azula’s POV. IMO the Netflix writers demystified a lot of plot lines (ie giving Ozai a face, introducing Azula too early, emphasising Kiyoshi). This takes away from the wonder of slowly introducing audiences into the ATLA world.

This brings me back to narratives. Katara is the best narrator because to some degree, she was isolated from the rest of the world since she was young. Through her lens, the ATLA world outside of the Southern water tribe is coloured in wonder.

If the series had been told through Aang’s POV (Aang who had already travelled the world), the world after the war would have become very small and dismal (we see this when he discovers the air temple grave yard). Furthermore, Zuko’s POV while still isolated serves to remind us of the horrors of war. He shows us a more adult-world but it is always tainted by anger and hate. He cannot be the main narrator (he is only a supplemental narrator) because it would make the show too dark and sucks out the fun.

The NATLA missed the most basics of narrative storytelling of ATLA. And, thats so sad because I feel like the actors put their all into their roles. Katara’s actress is so Katara-coded irl but the show did her so dirty.

P.s. if you want more ATLA content, please read the comics or the book, the OG cartoon was fine. We don’t need Carbon Copy nostalgia bait.

LABYRINTH

• Her Kingdom As Great by MarbleGlove

What's said is said, and Sarah said, "My Will is as Strong as Yours and my Kingdom as Great." And then, of course, she lied.

SOLO-LEVELLING

•  Dragon Ascending by Aeraneth

Park Ryung was a simple man with a simple goal, once he realized he was in the world of Solo Leveling. Make Sung Jinwoo's first few miserable years of being a Hunter- a little easier. Surely he was capable of giving some support to the protagonist if he really put his mind to it.

He had no idea how that backfired so hard.

 

JOHN WICK

• Made Men by manic_intent

“With you it’s always ‘Father this’, ‘Father that’.” Gianna sniffed. “It’s an obnoxious habit. Very childish. Act your age.”

“Oh? And trying to interrupt a stranger about his business isn’t obnoxious?”

“You’re such an asshole,” Gianna said, incredulous. “I can’t believe you said that. We’re trying to save a life.”

“If you were remotely interested in charity of that nature you wouldn’t be in the family business.”

The stranger was staring at them now, blinking owlishly. It wasn’t an unfamiliar reaction to anyone exposed to his sister and their quarrels. “Do you guys mind?” he said finally. His voice was rusty, seldom used.

 

THE WITCHER

• Born in a time of darkness, you will learn the trick of making. (You shall make your consolation all your life) by llamallamaduck

(WitcherXAssassins Creed Crossover)

Every now and again—typically late at night, when his mind was trying and failing to internalise the hurricane of weird shit that happened to be his life—Desmond wondered about how all this will end. Abstrego can throw around technical-sounding jargon until the cows go home, but even they probably knew that rendering genetic memories in three dimensions just meant fucking around with soul magic.
Or
Every guy can be a babygirl but it takes a man to be a single mother.

 

SKYRIM

• Shakespeare in the Park by Vodkassassin

He wakes up in a horse-drawn cart to see a scruffy man, with shaggy blond hair, bound and sitting in front of him. He knows exactly how this story goes.

The question is, how can a theater kid from modern America convince an entire fantasy world that he belongs there?

 

OVERLORD

• Momo-ji by Kat_o_nine_Tails

Suzuki Satoru had always liked children, but as a bachelor he had given up on having any of his own early on. But now that he has found himself in this New World and became his avatar, Momonga, he has inadverently become a father and he is determined to do his duty to the best of his abilities.

The fact that his children were mostly adults, some wanted to get into his pants, and all of them were actually NPCs created by his friends was completely irrelevant.

 

HUNGER GAMES

• Impetus by Crunchysunrises

(BuffyXHunger Games Crossover)

For one ethereal moment, Haymitch thought that his tribute might finally kill someone, maybe everyone. Then he remembered who he was dealing with. (Buffy had already decided: she was going to burn this place to the ground.)

 

 SHERLOCK

• Whispers in Corners by esama

Everything started with a stumble - his new life in a new world as well as his surprisingly successful career as a medium.

BLEACH

Betrayal is a choice that should only be made when you are prepared to accept whatever retribution follows.

 

 

HITMAN REBORN

No one ever said an SI gets a place in canon events, or that they would be ideally placed at all. How much would you recall if you had decades to go before anything in a long forgotten story comes to be?

FINAL FANTASY

• Red Sands by Vixen_Tail

Reeve Tuesti was quite literally the only decent man in FFVII's Shin-Ra Electric Company. Let's add another.

• And They Say You Can't Change The Past by NervousOtaku

Well, Rufus thought to himself, second chances weren't to be squandered.

HOBBIT

• Blessings and Rituals by esama

In which Dwarves have a religion - and Hobbits don’t.

 

• Into The Fire by blackdragonqueen

He was given one year to try again and make things right.

 

 

TEEN WOLF

• In the roots of our town, hearts beat by graveltotempo

After the Hale fire, Beacon Hills yearns for blood. Few know what the Hales are (werewolves, the eyes and the fangs whispers).

Most know what the Hales really are (protectors, the broken bones and unhealed injuries remember).

So when the house catches fire, and two shellshocked children cry while covered in ash, and a man burns and burns and burns (and screams and screams and screams), the people know.

Even when the words ‘electrical fire’ come out, even when two broken hearted children run, even when there is no proof: Beacon Hills knows, and the Nemeton knows, and her people know.

And they wait, in bated silence.

And they whisper, as they wait.

And they write, as they wait.

And they wait, they wait, they wait.

• Prowl by wynnebat

Laura's body is never found, but instead of continuing with his murder spree, Peter gets distracted by the scent of his mate. Stiles gets very distracted by the huge wolf that starts showing up at his house all the time.

• Touch Therapy by syriala

“You’re hugging Peter,” Derek said from behind them, confusion very obvious in his voice.

“Yep,” Stiles gave back, not moving from his current position, speaking more into Peter’s hair than anything.

“Why are you hugging him?” Derek asked, and Stiles shrugged as best as he could, with his arms still around Peter.

“He just woke up from a coma. I don’t even want to think about how long he went without a hug,” Stiles gave back.

Or the one where Stiles derails Peter’s plans by aggressively hugging the shit out of him.

THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES

• Chrysalis by thesnadger

What if Jon stopped resisting? What if he fully gave in to the dreadful power that has a hold on him? How much would Martin be willing to turn his back on in order to keep the one he loves?

• Perks of Beholding by Serazimei

Jon gets distracted from paranoia by learning he can now understand animals. This somehow solves all their problems.

Or: Jon turns into a Disney princess the fic.

• See the Line where the Sky meets the Sea by The_Floating_World

When Jon is a child he looks into the infinite abyss of space. The Vast looks back into him.

 

STRANGER THINGS

• Without a flashlight in the dark by jurassicqueer (gaybirdkid)

The lights go out. Steve keeps his eyes fixed just left of the thing, can just barely make out a shoulder and sort-of head in the light of the moon, and tries to swallow back the sickening feeling of being hunted. He wants to run for his house but he can’t. He can’t, because if he takes his eyes off the thing for even a second, he won’t know where it is, and that’s scarier than seeing it.

But then- then Steve’s vision blurs for just a moment too long, and when he blinks away the tears and looks, it’s gone.

Steve lunges for the house doors. When the patio lights flicker back on, the poolside is empty, and Steve Harrington is missing. No one notices.

Or: Steve Harrington gets dragged into the Upside Down instead of Barb Holland. Someone else comes out.

 

THE WALKING DEAD

• We're waiting on a heartbeat (can anybody hear me?) by jurassicqueer (gaybirdkid)

Glenn is all his three month old nephew has left when the zombie apocalypse reaches Atlanta. He's going to make sure he's enough.

OR: Glenn really didn't anticipate finding a life partner while raising an infant, but the end of the world is as good a place to start as any.

 

 

• Leaping into Lori by Fleurtygirl

Waking up as Lori Grimes kind of sucked because she rated as my least favorite person. Then again, she became universally hated because of her ongoing unhelpful and hostile actions during a zombie freaking apocalypse. Waking up before the apocalypse would hopefully help save lives.

 

 

THE UNTAMED

• Sail Away Sweet Sister by sami

“Are you the same Jiang Yanli I have known since infancy?"

"Yes."

"Have you ever been anyone else?"

"No."

"So you've lived another life... but as yourself. You had a child. And you were dead."

"Yes."

Jiang Yanli starts again from the beginning.

 

 

• Lynchpin by ShanaStoryteller

He can’t get Jin Guangyao’s words out of his head.

If he’d only believed in Wei Wuxian, if he’d only been willing to stand up for him, could it all have been avoided?

• Intriguing by nirejseki

Nie Huaisang hates, hates, hatespaperwork. Life would be so much better if only Meng Yao (now officially recognized as Jin Guangyao) were available to do it for him...but unfortunately, his brother never did end up swearing brotherhood with him, which means that Nie Huaisang has no basis to go ask him for help.

If only there were another position available where Jin Guangyao could just run the Nie sect –

(in which Nie Huaisang decides to matchmake his brother and Jin Guangyao together for his own selfish reasons)

JURASSIC WORLD

• Wild Frontier By RunawayDeviant

The five of them turned to face him - him, specifically, not the rest. His girls and their new best friend.

Owen stood up.

 

 

• Tainted by Macx

Owen Grady had always had a talent for animals. Like his grandfather. It was a talent that ran in the families.

Masrani Global recruited him to train raptors. It was an intriguing, novel idea, something only a crazy or insane person would attempt.

Owen wasn't crazy or insane. He knew he could do this.

He just didn't know how deep he would get into it, how strong the connection to the pack would become, how close... they, the four of them, would become to him.

His grandfather had always warned him: don't get too close. Don't let them connect. Well, it was too late for that now.

• Rise of the Unholy Trinity by LokasennaHiddleston.

The Zero Requiem was successful, but to some, the price was too high. C.C. does not care about world peace, not when she has lost the last person who gave her existence meaning. Suzaku Kururugi takes refuge in the last orders from his emperor, but he aches for what could have been.

They hate each other, but in a world that so eagerly accepts Lelouch's sacrifice without thanking him for it, they cannot help but take refuge in one another. And when C.C. hatches a plan to turn back time and bring Lelouch back, Suzaku eagerly welcomes it. She will be his shield and he will be his sword, and this time, they will get it right.

• Abandon Thyself By Sanjuno

A Geass... is like a wish...

All Demon Emperor wished for was a kinder, gentler world for his loved ones to live in and be happy...

All the Knight of Zero wished for was to die...

(Neither of them got what they wished for, in the end.)

The World of C has decided to grant the dearest wish that resonated in the heart of their Champion.

 

 

• The Sun Also Rises by Sanjuno

The night is darkest just before dawn, but dawn will come regardless.

Driven by his love for his sister, Lelouch Lamperouge vi Brittania became the Demon Emperor, feared and hated the world over. Very few people knew that the assassination of the ninety-ninth Emperor was actually an honour suicide, assisted by a dear friend and retainer in a long-held Japanese tradition. Zero Requiem went... perfectly to plan. Lelouch died, and took much of the world's hatred with him.

The Collective Consciousness of Man is not people, and they will not let their Champion remain lost to them.

Lelouch wakes to life after his death by the blessing of the World of C... and the possibilities available to him are endless.

 

 

ASSASSINS CREED

• Impermanence by esama

In which Desmond ends up back in time and doesn't so much decide to use it to deal with some hangups he had about Ezio's life as much as sort of... falls into doing it because of bitterness and spite and some very questionable medicine.

 

 

• Desmond ex Machina by esama

In the library of Altaïr, Ezio isn't as ready to let go of his destiny as he thought.

In the Grand Temple, Desmond isn't ready to face his.

 

 

HANNIBAL

• Inevitable by sifshadowheart

(Criminal MindsXHannibal Crossover)

Will didn’t know how this was happening.

He didn’t know why.

But it was.

Even if he couldn’t trust his eyes, not always anyway, he trusted what he felt, tactile sensation, and everything he felt said that this was happening. His body didn’t have the aches and pains and scars he knew. There was no knot of scar tissue causing issues with his shoulder from being stabbed. No smile across his stomach from a linoleum knife or bullet wound in his non-stabbed shoulder.

He was his relatively untouched teenager self, brain too much for most to handle and awkward social abilities that had landed him a full-ride to Tulane off of his high IQ and ability to pass a test – so long as it wasn’t a psych exam, though now that he knew what he knew he’d be willing to bet that was changed.

In fact…as plans and plots started to come together, he was counting on it.

It would be a long game.

Almost twenty years.

A different Will would be sorry for all those who would die between then and now, let alone those that would come after, but as he sat down and began the first of many lists that would shape his future for the next decade or more, he didn’t feel any guilt at all.

 

 

• Oddbodies by toffeecape

Will is an off-brand sentinel. Hannibal is a reputable guide. What could go wrong?

 

 

• Wage Your War by Della19

To say that Will Graham is still an unmated, childless omega at the age of thirty-eight is his own choice is true. It is not to say that it is his preference. Will wants a mate and a family just as much – perhaps even more – than the next omega. He’s simply never met that one person who fit the bill before. And then he walks into Jack Crawford’s office and meets Hannibal Lecter and well that, as they say in the business, is that.

Now all he needs to do is convince Hannibal of that. But well, this is Hannibal Lecter he is dealing with. It must be done a certain…flair. But that isn’t a problem for Will. Not at all.

After all, snakes may kill mongoose, but one must never forget this as well: mongoose hunt snakes too.

It’s Will Graham’s turn to wage his war.

Or, here is a fic about omega!Will Graham manipulating alpha!Hannibal Lecter into getting exactly what he wants.

 

THE SCUM VILLAINS SELF-SAVING SYSTEM

• Shen-shixiong by Ourliazo

Shen Qingqiu is a bastard, but he's Cang Qiong Mountain's bastard. That doesn't actually justify anything but god it feels good to point Shen Qingqiu at someone and watch him tear through.

• Fly With Broken Wings by VermilionRain

Shen Yuan has been getting nightmares since he was young. They were about a fantasy world that centered around Shen Qingqiu, a subjectively evil man. It wasn’t until he read a certain cash grabbing book that everything clicked into place. Shen Yuan was receiving memories of Shen Jiu (They were horrible and now he empathizes with the immortal) Now, after finally receiving his degree he gets transported into said book. He might as well fix this plot hole ridden shit until he gets to go back.

 

• Nobody Deserves a Second Chance (But Honey I Keep Getting Them) by Bluethursday

Luo Binghe finds himself unsatisfied with his life after his wives attempt a coup and devises a plan to acquire a Shen Yuan of his very own.

"He couldn't help but think that his life and efforts amounted to nothing but a joke played out for the amusement of the Heavens. His efforts were nothing in the eyes of those he had done his best to protect. His entire life—from crawling his way out of the gutters of the small town he grew up in by the Luo River, from being saved only by the kindness of a woman whose life was dependent on the scraps given to her by her wealthy employers, his mother’s hands ever-calloused from scrubbing filth and sweat from the clothing of those too ignorant to realize how much work it took to keep their lives comfortable—his entire life was spent working his way into a position where no one could leave him stranded, begging on the street for a bowl of congee, and for what?"

• Tongfang by The Feels Whale (miscellea)

Shen Yuan is reincarnated as a cannon fodder character and eventual murder victim in one of the whodunnit arcs in Proud Immortal Demon Way. Things escalate quickly.

• Poetry is what he thought, but did not say by llamallamaduck

(Game Of ThronesXBlack Panther Crossover)

Sansa refuses to be a bystander to tragedy any longer, but can she ever hope to win the game of thrones?

• Now go and fail again by Nothingmare

Two women died, one on a cold marble floor and another strewn across a bed with her son's blood covering her. Lady Fortuna has sown those two souls together with a red string, from two separate entities they became one.

 

• Queens by phantomphaeton

It wasn’t a hero in the end. Not a grand savior, nor magic, nor prophecy, nor destiny, nor a promised prince. In the end, it all boiled down to three young women who had decided that they—by that point—were fed up with disappointment.

 

STAR WARS

• The Way of Conquest By Pagination

All Din wanted to do was find the Child a sorcerer teacher, pick up a job or two, and follow his Creed.

Three out of three is good, right? Right?

• Sith Lord Swell by AMournfulHowlInTheNight

“Well, looks like we're all Sith Lords, now. I hope you've all been practicing your most menacing laughter for our first run in with the Jedi Council."

Ben could only sigh and raise a distasteful eyebrow at the cross shaped, red lightsaber he was given. Down the line other students were also handling their new weapons and robes with a raised eyebrow here and quizzical expression there.

"Really, uncle?"

"Really. I don't want to compete with the local Jedi population."

Why did Jedi politics and time travel have to be so difficult?

• Water in the tiger's mouth by blackkat

After Scipio, Thorn wakes up on Coruscant, in a palace built over the bones of something that used to be familiar. General Kenobi is there, though. General Kenobi will fix it.

• Concessions By Emrys_Fae, mneiai

After Order 66, Obi-Wan just wants to disappear. He flees to Mandalore, hoping that the newly triumphant Mand'alormight grant him sanctuary. But his former lover demands a price. A simple concession.

 

• New Meetings (Scenes from an Alternate Galaxy) by teacup_of_doom

A collection of AU scenes in which Anakin and Obi-Wan remember their past lives, Obi-Wan is female, and Jango Fett would very much like to act on his burgeoning feelings for the Jedi Master. Anakin is overprotective, Padme is amused by all of this. Somehow, they muddle through.

 

 

• Rebirth in the shadows of Dathomir by lunaemoth

Obi-Wan was dead, one with the Force and at peace, when he was ripped from it and shoved into a tiny body once again.

On Dathomir. Among the Nightsisters. Fifty years in the past.

 

 

• Walk by faith/tell no one what you've seen by Killbothtwins

After the end of the war with the Empire, Obi-Wan wakes up in his twelve-year old body. Now all he needs to do is convince everyone he's psychic, trick his Master into taking him on before he's sent to Bandomeer, redeem a few bad guys, and try not to have a nervous breakdown. Pretty easy. It's not like the Sith are lurking on the horizon, waiting to devour the Jedi Order.

 

 

• The Solider, the Queen, and the Hunter: Truth and Fiction by kj_feybarn

The galaxy is a step away from war when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padme Amidala find a clone army.

That's where it starts, with convenient wording in a contract, a broken sith spell, and a desperate attempt to turn their tragedies into a story that could catch the hearts of a galaxy.

“Now sit still,” he told them all as he leaned forward. “And I’ll tell you the story of the Soldier, the Queen, and the Hunter.”

• New Order by esama

The galaxy changes and Obi-Wan must change with it to protect what little he has left.

 

DC UNIVERSE

• Nothing But The Dead And Dying (back in my little town) by Umei_no_Mai

(DCXDanny Phantom Crossover)

Dan has just been rescued and is feeling a bit shorter than usual. Jason Todd has just been petitioned like he's a feudal warlord, which has never happened before but he could maybe get used to.

They can probably make this work so long as Batman doesn't stick his nose in. Yeah, like that'll happen.

• Baby Birds and Bat Caves by IzzyMRDB

Gotham was built on a cave system. Batman has referenced a Bat Cave before. Tim is currently in the cave system. He is in the cave system that he entered from Drake Manor. Drake Manor is right next door to where Batman- The Bruce Wayne- lives. Holy Cavern, Batman! Tim had just accidentally wandered into the Bat Cave’s cave system.

OR

Tim, having found a weird hole after a storm, decides to go exploring ignoring the fact that This Is Gotham and They Probably Have Cursed Stuff Down There.

Luckily, it was just a cave system that spans the entire Gotham underground. Unluckily, Tim is a very curious child.

• Sleep with a gun (and keep an eye on you, son) by destiny919

The kid in civvies knocking on the door to his apartment shrieks Jason's name and launches himself at Jason, who catches him on reflex. He realizes it's the Replacement at the same time he notices the kid is so tiny he could barely pass for twelve, let alone fourteen. "Jason," his Replacement mumbles again into his chest, and Jason finally regains the presence of mind to move them backwards into the apartment.

If he's murdering the kid now, better to do it with privacy.

• Reasons are better than rules by destiny919

"No one will actually explain Father's rules to me," Damian blurts out. "They tell me we don't kill, and killing is wrong, and Father would never do it, but no one ever actually says why! As if repeating the rule is the same as explaining it! As if I am supposed to just know, when I do not!"

Drake is quiet, eyes on something in the distance that Damian cannot see. "Damian, may I tell you a secret?"

• Loading and Aspect Ratio by JUBE514

So, it didn’t start out like this.

Alfred would scoff at the statement, about how Bruce was trying to justify the whole situation to himself. It had started out as a simple design, black everything with black outlines and black hood. It got a little more intense as the world went on, got wind of his ghost on the streets, and became scared of The Bat . So Bruce got a little more creative with it, Alfred and him had a good laugh over the name, the scare, and Alfred had a vicious streak of humor that he had passed onto his ward-

So now the suit had a visible bat-theme, an insignia to drape in the shadows and to paint across the streets of Gotham.

It only took a year into the whole charade of heroism for Bruce to overhear a conversation between some goons- some low level thug hired by the Riddler this week- about nothing at all pertaining to what the hell the Riddler was doing in the sewers but instead:

“The Batman can fly, you know, I’ve seen his wings.”

• Trained by the best by destiny919

Damian has his orders: present himself to his father so that the Batman will finish his training and Damian can take his proper place at his father's right hand.

However, Damian has also had caution and the need to maintain an upper hand in every situation ingrained into him for even longer than he has known how to hold a sword. Accordingly, he takes his time once arrived in Gotham. He learns his father's patrol routes and not much else, but in the process begins studying the other vigilantes in Gotham—the other children in his father's life. Perhaps they will give him a better idea of how to please his father, and if they have been trained by Batman themselves, there may even be something of value they can teach Damian.

• Kingmaker by destiny919

When there's a knock on the door of Jason's safehouse, he figures Black Mask managed to track him down and thinks he's clever. Instead of opening the door to a loaded automatic weapon, Jason finds a teenage boy he's never actually met but can still recognize despite one crucial detail:

He's covered in blood.

• Baby on board by destiny919

He studied the Tower schematics very carefully, including the vent networks. Accordingly, Jason is already waiting in the upstairs lounge when Replacement emerges from the ceiling. "Thanks for dropping by, Rep-" Jason stops dead, staring at the Robin turning to face him.

That is. That is a whole child.

• Wants and Needs (Well, Mostly Wants) by Rhiw

Tim wakes up inexplicably in his two-year-old body. Which: odd. But just think, how many people would kill to have an opportunity to redo their life! And Tim has so much he wants to change, so much he wants. He wants to feel important to Bruce. He wants to be Dick's favorite. He wants Jason (his childhood hero) to think he's cool. He wants Damian to need him. And really, is it manipulation if his family benefits from it?

• Trade my Tomorrows (For One Yesterday) by Zell_Hatoule

Things I don't see in DC yet - Dick Grayson time travelling, deciding to join Talon just so he can fuck them up from the inside and then forcibly joins Bruce at 12. Bruce has no idea what to do with a murderous assassin kid who has more of his shit put together than he does. Also, not Dick vicariously adopting all of the Robins and Bruce faced with three smaller children sitting at his table every night looking at him accusingly.

• Time (to Protect You) by Blueseabird2

Losing Damian not only hurt beyond measure but also made Dick the last Bat standing. He had nothing keeping him in a broken world so goes back in time with only one ally (Damian begs to differ) and no plan except to protect everyone he can, at any cost.

Dick starts with making sure Jason never dies at the hands of the Joker and proceeds to track down and love his siblings (while maybe also plotting the destruction of the League of Assassins). He just doesn't realize that a clan of highly trained vigilantes are more than capable of realizing that Dick is not okay, and of returning his devotion with their own.

• Jim Gordon's pal, the Shadow demon by I_go_by_Faith

The shadows of Gotham had come alive.
The creature was massive, taller than a man, writhed in shadows, that seemed to move with an unnatural breath.
It was made of shades of black, the darkest forming its head, hands and feet, and pooling around it, resembling a cape or wings, like those of a bat.
Tall horns extended from it’s head, reminiscent of the ears of a bat, long claws tipped it’s hands.
The only part that looked human at first glance was the lower half of it’s face, which was the grey of a corpse, traceries of black veins visible beneath the skin.
It’s eyes glowed white, almost seeming to suck him into them.
(...)
Gordan swallowed, trying to clear his throat, not to scream, a scream would be useless in Gotham, but to ask a question.
The creature reached out cautiously toward him with the back of a hand, the way a human would approach an unfamiliar cat
“Are you the one who has been leaving criminals tied up outside the station?”

• Doubting Gets You Places DustToDust

Tim's never regretted his decision to go to Barbara Gordon when Batman began to fall apart after Robin's death. He does reserve the right to complain when strange men in masks begin to use him as an intermediary for Oracle though.

MARVEL UNIVERSE

• As bridges burn by apathyinreverie

(MarvelXWitcher Crossover)

Tony promptly waves off Steve's demand. “Ah, don’t worry. I already have all the data you could possibly want on these feather-lizards.”

There is a sigh of exasperation from Geralt where he is currently wiping down his swords. “Cockatrices,” he rumbles, though in a tone that says he isn’t expecting Tony to actually listen.

“Mhm,” Tony hums in cheerful agreement, grin genuine in a way that Steve rather misses seeing when it’s just the team anymore. “Isn’t that what I just said.”

(Set some time after CW, in a 'verse where Tony met Geraltand his trio of troublemakers while trying to fix everyone's messes. Suffice to say, Yen and Geralt are less than impressed with the team.)

 

 

• The Better Man by apathyinreverie

Tony doesn’t lash out in Siberia.

And Steve had been relieved, assuming that them not coming to blows would make everything so much simpler in the aftermath, would make reconciling easier, would help them regain the trust now lost.

It doesn’t. Quite to the contrary.

 

 

• Who is this Guy? By ArcticVulpix

Few people get a second chance. Few people get the opportunity to make the right decision after a mistake.

If you got a do-over, what would you do? What would you change?

There aren't many who get the chance to actually make those decisions.

But Steve Rogers did.

And he saved the world.

Just not in the way he thought he would.

• #standbylegion by esama

(AvengersXKingsman Crossover)

V-day takes out the Avengers. JARVIS copes, one tweet at a time.

 

 

• Simon Says by Hyliian

Reality… glitched.

I wasn’t spontaneously teleported to another place. Monsters didn’t start pouring out of holes in the fabric of time. No otherworldly voice spoke words of wisdom or warning in my ear. Had I… had I hallucinated that whole debacle? Did I just imagine the world shifting three degrees sideways and tilting diagonally backwards? No one else was reacting to what had happened, so I had to conclude with a sort of grim resignation that I was obviously losing my mind.

Resolved to pretend nothing had happened, I took a step towards the door.

Abruptly, I was somewhere else entirely.

 

 

• The Devouring of Hearts by RayShippouUchiha

(AvengersXAddams Family Crossover)

Toni’s gums ache for a split second, fresh blood flooding her mouth before she swallows it.

And in that next second that curl of darkness inside of her sits up and decides that this, that Howard’s continued cruelty and abuse, will no longer be allowed.

Toni licks the blood from her now too sharp teeth before she plants her hands on the floor in front of her and pushes herself back up onto her feet.

This time when Howard lashes out at her Toni ducks low to avoid the blow.

Crouched on the hall floor, sharp nails digging into the dark wood beneath her, Toni hisses, takes a moment to calculate, and then she leaps.

 

 

• The Guiding of Death by RayShippouUchiha

“Hades and Persephone reborn huh,” Fury states then more than asks, “no need to ask which is which.”

Toni’s brows furrow even as dread begins to squirm to life inside of her.

But before she can say anything, before she can open her mouth and set the record straight, she hears it.

A murmur as loud as a scream from somewhere in the tomb silent bridge.

“That whole Merchant of Death thing,” someone off to the side faux whispers, “makes a lot more sense now.”

It echoes across the bridge like a gunshot.

 

 

• Rule 48 by Hyliian

“I will treat any beast which I control through magic or technology with respect and kindness. Thus if the control is ever broken, it will not immediately come after me for revenge.”

Rule 48. It was a lesson these asshats swarming around the Asset’s cryochamber really should have learned by now.

• Iron Infinity by DuncanIdaho2014

Dr. Strange saw NO future where Thanos didn't win and wipe out the universe. Still, they valiantly try.

Armed with foresight and terrible resolve, Tony WILL protect the planet. OR, how Tony accidentally became a God.

 

 

• Disasster by esama

In which Tony welcomes his (begrudging) AI overlord and Bucky somehow gets caught in the middle.

NARUTO

• Compass of thy Soul By Umei no Mai

Being reborn into the Uchiha clan during the Warring Clans Era is surprisingly idyllic, so long as you don't mind hard work and are too young to know any of the people who are actually dying. But innocence never lasts, and trying to help family stay alive is a road strewn with a surprising number of pitfalls and last-minute diversions.

• discendo docemus by llamallamaduck

There are some things a seven-year-old psyche is not ready to endure. An S-ranked torture technique preformed by a traumatized thirteen-year-old is one of those things. Sasukedoesn’t enjoy hallucinating memories of his murdered family day in and day out, but he’s learned to be philosophical about such things. It’s everything else that’s the problem, really.

• To dwell inside (a hearthfire heart) by Ellory

Senju Tobirama is not a samurai. He is not bound in oaths of honor. Yet, he finds himself revealing a long-kept secret to settle a debt with Uchiha Madara. A brother’s life for a brother’s life. That is the only reason he saves Uchiha Izuna from the Hagoromo.

• Targes of jubilant flame (have hung my heart) by Ellory

Allowing a child to die via non-interference is not, technically, child-hunting. However, Tobirama knows Madara well enough to be certain he will not care one whit for technicalities should his young kinsman perish while the Senju could easily turn the battle in Hikaku’s favor.

• If the seas catch fire (trust your heart) by Ellory

The Uchiha trespasser on Senju lands is not an adult with an inability to completely disguise their chakra levels. It is a child, younger even than Itama was.

• Rotted Rowan By Darkpetal16

Not everyone can be a hero. Sometimes you have to play the villain in order to save everyone.

 

• Dirt and Ashes, or: The One-and-a-Half Body Problem by Tozette

• General Nara by JohnBurtonLee

(Dreaming of Sunshine AU)

(NarutoXStar Wars Crossover)

It should really be harder to take over a clone regiment. Shikako basically showed up, flashed her lightsaber - which wasn't even a real lightsaber - and clones were falling all over themselves to follow her orders.

 

• An Unexpected Training Trip by JohnBurtonLee

(Dreaming of Sunshine AU)

(NarutoXHero Academia Crossover)

Trapped in another universe, Sasuke and Shikako decide to go to hero school until they find a way back. The idea was that as hero students they wouldn't draw unnecessary attention while training. This works about as well as you would expect from a couple of people whose idea of subtle is to fake a natural disaster.

-or-

How Shikako single handedly eliminated the social stigma about therapy in UA High School.

 

 

• Children Of The Leaf by DawningStar

(Dreaming of Sunshine AU)

• Si Iterum Eodem Modo Vicero... by JohnBurtonLee

(Dreaming of Sunshine AU)

-It says something about Shikako's life that leading an invasion of another planet isn't even the worst thing she's done on accident. It's probably in the top three, though. Probably.

HARRY POTTER

• Unfogging the Future by Naidhe

Lavender takes one step forward and – just like the snap of a finger, the blink of an eye, the drop of a pebble – Hogwarts is left behind. There's no jump, no flashes of light, no whirlwinds of disconnected images. Just one little step; behind stood her war and in front stands 1947. "Huh," she says to herself, "didn't see this in the tea leaves."

• Time to Put Your Galleons Where Your Mouth Is By TsumeYuki

Harry had never been able to comprehend a sibling relationship before, but he always thought he'd be great at it. Until, as Master of Death, he's reborn one Turais Rigel Black, older brother to Sirius and Regulus.

 

• To play the Prince of Castaways by llamallamaduck

Six-year-olds don't understand what having children entails. Six-year-old boys even less so. Six-year-old boys kept in cupboards, who barely get to speak a few words each day, are almost guaranteed to have a very fanciful grasp on the miracle of life.

Harry James Potter didn't know what having a baby meant, who could have them and why they might wish to do so. Harry James Potter just wanted one. Desperately.

• Shadow Magic by Lomonaaeren

Harry was born with a power the Dark Lord knows not: the magic to see into shadows, to walk the shadows, and to send the shadows everywhere. This changes his life rather dramatically.

 

 

• Uvidimsya Zavtra by TreacleTeacups

In which Harry realises he owes the wizarding world nothing and runs before he can compete in the Triwizard Tournament. It may cost him his magical core, but the price of freedom is worth it.

Lessons Learned (Lessons Relearned) by cywscross

Percy closes his eyes after another late night and opens them a decade in the past, back at the start of his fifth year, back before Percy had made any of the decisions he'd regretted later on, back before his family had shattered and learned to live with the remaining pieces, back to the beginning of an ending that might not be so inevitable after all.

Magical Boy Tournament: Round 5

Entrant Propaganda:

Superman

Link to his magical boy transformation: https://twitter.com/DCOfficial/status/1677029743005245440?s=20

He's so cute. I have never been into dc comics or superman but this version of him took the "softboy adapts to city life while fighting crime" story and made it so anime coded. You know what I mean.

he's so sweet and adorable and he cares so much about people 🥺 I have to vote for him

HIS POWERS LITERALLY GET STRRONGER BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH HE CARES WHEN THE VILLAINS PLANS BACKFIRE AND THEY GET HURT HE ALWAYS TRIES TO HELP THEM

I went with Clark because he deserves to be in the magical girl club || hes enough of a sweetheart to embody the magical girl spirit

his transformation was inspired by Minami Kaidou (Cure Mermaid)

Qifrey

Wise man who teaches four girls magic and also deals with literally everything

Qifrey is too much of a warcrime babygirl

Trafalgar Law's whole charcter journey is so special to me. He starts off as this mysterious badass with cool powers and an aesthetic that fucks, objectively. And Oda easily could've left it at that. But instead he decided, what if I take this man and put him into. situations.

And from that day forward Law is not allowed to take a w ever again. This man's life is a cycle of struggles followed up with more struggles. For 50 chapters after he decides to ally himself with the Straw Hats, it is just him slowly losing all sanity and sense of control, until it all culminates in Dressrosa, where he is kidnapped by the evil queer-coded villain and has to wait for the big strong man to come and save him. And that's when we as the readers finally realise what Trafalgar Law's final form is: a disney princess.

He's the babygirl to end all babygirls. I love him so much.

What I find incredible about Kabru character is how complete ineffective he is in the whole story !! First off he show off like some altruist guy who suffering with protagonist syndrome, like he constantly going in his head "I'm the chosen one, I'm Protagonist, I'm beloved by the Demiurge" But then his group dies !!!

Later when meet with Laios Group he show off like manipulative sociopath who is controlling everything behind everyone backs, but not really, when the Canaries show up he fails to persuade the Shadow Lord of the Island, he get manhandle by Mithurne and then stuck as his caretaker for the rest of the story and still he acts like he is the main character, it's like the narrative is making fun of him for thinking that he has any weight on the story what so ever !! Well to be fair he did stop Mithurne from Killing Sissel and letting the bad end happening, Like his contribution to story is stopping one the good guys from killing the one the villains !! Nice going there dude !!

Then when everything goes to shit and Marcielle become Dungeon, he tries everything to make Laios stay there with the Canaries, and Laios kinda calls him pathetic on the nicest way possible !! And for the rest of end he keeps appearing on the side like he still matter on the story ! I normally don't say this, but he is very Soggy Cat pathetic babygirl coded !!!

All of this of course is just based on my expectations that I had for this guy, and I think it is the intention, it is honestly hilarious !! Him Dropping the sword in the panel so meekly is a example of his whole ineffective in contrast with his grand standing of actually being a main player in this story !!!!

so sad to see a baddie doing too much to keep a man in love island 💔 Luna I'm so sorry you didn't deserve it your only crime was being coupled up with the one guy I want

oh. so about the terrace scene...

first of all, super sweet gem scene. it seemed like a super important one for it to be a gem scene though. so idk I'm a bit lost.

Jin is a walking red flag 😭 this boy is soooo gonna flip on me when the next hot girl shows up!! but let's enjoy the ride

but it was just a peck, tho

okay, NOW JIN!!!

having a spicy conversation with the guy I want to fuck and his currently girl isn't how I planned to spend my afternoon but here we go

"You're adventurous. You're fun to be around. And you'd make every sight even more beautiful", "Okay. Where's the punch line?", "There isn't one :)" OKAY GAG ME WITH THE WRITING

FUNNY BOY WHO'S A HISYORY NERD? OH OKAY!!!! BIG T??? NO IT'S BIG J!!!!!! JIMOTHY!!!

lmao Sophie mixing the boys up she's so me

Claudia is a real one let me tell you that

she's nice, she doesn't force herself upon us, she's polite, she give us all the tea, and she even help us to graft on the boys behind their girls' backs. like, THAT'S MY GIRL

and if Theo doesn't step up she will DEFINITELY be mine

TIME TO PICK MY BOY LET'S GOOOOOOOO

so sad to see Luna go, I really like her :/

lmao???????????

I TAKE BACK EVERY GOOD THING I SAID ABOUT JACK WTFFFF 😭😭😭😭

he was so out of pocket ?? what's your deal man, are you jealous I picked Jin instead of you? we kissed ONCE. be sooooooooo for real rn

okay Sophie you can join your boy in this bullshit he still cheated on you with me when you weren't looking (and he probably would do it again)

no. I won't forgive you?? you were basically calling me a whore back then and now you are SORRY? don't say something you'll regret later that's not cute.

and he's supposed to be serious?

anyway, stressful night over. time to go to bed with my babygirl Jin

BITS BITS BITS BITS

29 gems to go all the way? what is this?

they could've make the scene a little longer but they have gotten way better ever since the writers dropped the word crescendo

MR TYLER WHO ARE YOU?

still not 100% sure if I'm going with Jin or Oakley but I'm leaning towards Jin, I'm not gonna lie 😁 I did some stuff that will fuck me over on movie night if fusebox finally learnt how to code (which they prolly didn't so I guess I'm safe)

I really enjoyed this episode except for the part when Jack and Sophie went full on villain mode but if the narrative made sense all of the time it wouldn't be LITG, right?

anyway, let's see what this Tyler guy is about... see you all next week 🫶
