Prompt 117
Bruce does not enjoy magic. In fact he’s absolutely horrible at it, to the point it’s better that he avoids it in general. Getting thrown into some sort of summoning circle bullshit was not helping him feel any better about it either.
At least he isn’t dead… probably. He might be surrounded by green and there might be a massive entity sitting on a throne, but he isn’t dead yet. Even if the cult had been rambling about sacrificing ‘the dark knight to the dark king’.
… His kids are definitely going to kill him, but there are small children peeking out at him from within the being’s cape. Who seem happy enough, while the… king looks exhausted in a familiar way. Well. Maybe it’s his own parental exhaustion talking, but they can’t be too bad if their kids are happy to be there.

MASTERLIST ⛤ WHUMPTOBER WORKS
🕸 ⋆ ⁶𖤐⁶ ࣪⋆🕸
The sun was just rising above the skyline as the familiar rumble of the jet started up. Shortly after that came the weightlessness as it soared into the sky. It was supposed to be a simple mission, take down a couple of fighters that had stepped over the territory line, then return in time for a drink down at the ‘Hard Deck’.
You would never not admire the way the world looked from up here as you soared between the mountains towards the ocean, leaving the base as a tiny grey speck in the distance. It took your breath away.
“How’s it looking back there, Viper?” Rooster asked from the front of the jet. The com crackled in your ear.
“All good, roo.” You replied, glancing down at the multitude of buttons and screens.
Rooster has been your best friend since you were young. You had grown up with each other and worked your way through Top Gun to follow in your parents’ footsteps. He was the Goose to your Maverick. Literally. Although the two of you were only young when his dad passed, you had seen the way that it broke him, much like the way it broke your dad. And although you would never completely be able to understand Roosters grief, you stuck to him through thick and thin.
Once you were finally old enough to join Top Gun, your dad was hesitant. He had lost his best friend. He wouldn’t lose you too, though it was all you knew. It was all you had wanted to do since you were 6 years old and playing with model planes in the garden with Brad. And so, there you were; strapped tightly to the chair of a plane hurtling through the atmosphere as your best friend’s RIO. And you couldn’t think of anything better.
Time passed nonchalantly as the fighter edged towards the opposition. Although it was a standard mission that you had done hundreds of times you still couldn’t help but form an anxious knot in your stomach, especially when the other jets came into view.
“Bandits ahead.” You informed the Phoenix and Bob who were cruising along besides you.
“Copy.”
You watched the small dots dance across the green screen. The triangle of fighters heading straight towards the four of you. “Heading straight towards us.” You told Rooster, who nodded abruptly and began to manoeuvre the plane to the right.
“Taking evasive action.”
The jet swerved as it raced past the enemy, before setting in line behind them. They broke apart, scattering around you.
“Shit.” Cursing, you tried to adjust the monitors to locate the plane that had slipped from view on the monitor. “I’ve lost one of them. Bob, anything.”
“Negative.”
As Rooster flew, you kept a keen eye out for the third plane which had vanished within the clouds that obscure your view.
Thanks to his skilled training, Rooster managed to take down one of the enemy vessels without an issue. The second one was trickier, with both pairs of planes making a beeline towards it as it raced away, You could feel the force on your body making it harder to move as Bradley urged the plane forwards. You could see the two dots inching closer together until they were nearly aligned.”
“Rooster, I can’t get the shot.” Phoenix called out over.
“Copy. Just give me a moment.”
Narrowing his eyes, Rooster placed his thumb over the missile, twisting the jet so that he could get a clear shot. When the lines finally aligned and the control panel let out a happy chirp, he pressed the trigger down, launching the missile which hit its target and sent it careening into the water. Phoenix congratulated your partner as you continued to search the sky for the missing plane. Though seemingly it was truly out of sight. After deciding that it may have retreated, and receiving the go ahead from Maverick to return to base, you reeled back around and began the journey home.
“I’m glad I can bring you back in one piece Y/N.” Brad sighed from in front of you. “Now there’s one less reason for Mav to kill me.”
That was when the monitors began blinking, and the third dot reappeared on the scanner.
“Break! Break!” You yelled as they locked onto your jet, launching a missile towards you. Quick on his feet, Rooster swerved.
“Bandit found!” He called out over the comms as you moved to fiddle with the switches, although the frantic movement made it hard to move as it sent you sliding around.
The enemy was suddenly coming up in front of you, causing Bradley to break hard. “Shit!”
When it pushed in front of you, the force which it left with, shoved your plane harshly, causing you to slam into the side of your chair.
“Jet-wash!” He cried out.
There was no time to react as the force sent your plane spiralling. Lights flashed frantically in the cockpit as the high pitched alarm screeched. “Both engines out!”
Without the aid of the engines the fighter jet was forced into a tizzy, twisting as it spun out of control. At some point the motion had slammed you into the glass of the cockpit. You cried out painfully.
“Viper!?”
Your body screamed at you as you tried to move but the force of your body as the jet rapidly dropped in attitude was too much to allow you to move.
“Eject!” You told him, craning your head to twist towards the two loops that hung in between where the two of you were stationed. “I can’t reach the handles. You have to eject!”
Eyes wide and frantic, Rooster reached behind him , fumbling for the fabric. When his shaky hands wrapped around them, he gave them a sharp tug and then the two of you went tumbling from the plane and hurtling towards the bottomless ocean.
Rooster groaned against the heavy pull as his parachute opened. He watched anxiously for yours to fly open, letting out a breath when he saw it fly out behind you and your fall slow. But something was wrong, because when you hit the water, you didn’t come back up.
Your arms flailed frantically as you tried to keep yourself afloat, but you had hit the water hard and every movement you made with your legs sent agony across your body, and without the aid of your life jacket, which failed to inflate, the parachute which quickly absorbed the water began to drag you down. You took a gasping breath as you heaved, trying to keep your head above the churning water, but it w as no use. You vanished beneath the surface of the water.
It was dark. And cold. And your lungs burned for air that wouldn’t come as your lungs filled with water. You twisted, struggling within the fabric and rope which had wrapped itself around your body, tangling around you like you were a fish caught in a net. Your eyes stung with the assault of the water as you stared blankly at the inky green above you. Your movements slowed as your energy began to deplete, and soon you knew nothing but the dark and icy water.
~
Rooster watched in horror as your head disappeared below the water and you didn't resurface. Struggling against the water, he swam as fast as he could. The heavy weight of his parachute slowed him down, trying to drag him towards the same fate as you, but he pushed himself forwards. He had to keep going, he had to get to you. Barely registering the loud humming of the helicopter above, he swam to the green ink that leaked from your suit and began to dive down. The resistance of his life jacket tried to pull him back towards the surface, but he could see you now. Your hair floated around your face, drifting as you lay motionless in the water. Your skin was pale and your lips were turning a shade of blue. He could see the chute wrapped around your ankle and the def
He outstretched his hand until his fingertips brushed yours, but then he was yanked back harshly by the buoyancy-aid. Cursing loudly, he dived back into the icy water, propelling himself forwards. When he finally managed to wrap his hands around yours, he pulled you towards him. His lungs burned and tiny air bubbles escaped from his nose. Fumbling, he struggled to unclip you from the parachute, but after finally freeing you from the binds, your body floated up with his easily.
With a hard kick, Brad resurfaced and took a gasping breath, sucking the air greedily into his lungs and allowing the life jacket to do its job.
You lay morbidly still across his chest. Lips chapped and an ugly shade of blue. Bradley called out, crying your name and begging for your response but you said nothing. Did nothing. Not even your chest rose and fell. The helicopter settled above the water and soon there were hands on him, parting your lifeless body from him. He struggled against them, ignoring the pleading of the medics and the rescue team. He needed to get to you, but you were just too far away.
~~
Maverick watched you anxiously from where you lay on the bed, hooked up to a line of machines. There was a cannula attached to your right side, so he held the left, bringing it up to his lips and placing a gentle kiss to it. Maverick would never forget the moment that he heard the alert come through on the radio. His body tensed and his heart stopped in his chest as though he had been gripped by one massive, icy hand. He refused to leave your side. Not even to sleep and that was because every time he closed his eyes, he was hit with the image of Goose, lying lifeless in the ocean. It was too similar; too much of a sick coincidence spat out by fate. But this time it was different. The two of you had clawed your way back. Rooster had been in a state when he returned; frantic and rambling. Mav hardly made him feel any better after yelling at him. The pilot’s stomach sank at that thought. Unmeaning to hurt the boy, scared he yelled at him- words he would never have said. The thought was relentless as it echoed in his head.
You began to stir, blinking heavily against the fluorescent lights. Maverick sat forwards from where he was slumped in the armchair. He greeted you with a gentle smile as you turned to face him.
“Hey kiddo.”
“Hm?” the noise you made was groggy as you shuffled. Your entire body ached like you had been bit by a truck.
“Oh kid…” He cooed, tracing circles on your palm. “I’m so glad you’re ok.”
You nodded, scanning the room. “Brad?” Your voice was hoarse.
“He’s…” Maverick didn’t have the heart to tell you that he had warned the boy away. But he was saved when the door peeled open and the tired boy pushed his way into the room. He had a small cut on his cheek and a blanket shawled around his shoulders. Bradley also shivered slightly. He stopped dead when he saw your eyes on him.
“Y/N.”
You smiled. “Hey, Roo.”
Maverick watched the two of you intently. His daughter and his best friend's son. He saw the way that his features softened around you and the way that your eyes glistened as you listened to him chatter away. It was a moment of tenderness that brought a proud grin to his face and in that moment, Maverick knew that as long as you two had each other, you would always pull through.

Staticapple/Radioapple/Adamsapple AU: Headcanons? Please?
Oh my goodness yes! And since you asked so nicely I'll post it now instead of on Friday
Enjoy!
Adam:
Was Lucifer's first love
Lucifer was his first love, yet he never came to terms with it until after he died for a second time
Watches over Lucifer to laugh at his misery at first but then starts to do it to keep an eye on him
Excuses as keeping an eye on the enemy but was actually worried about him
Becomes a Sinner/Fallen after dying in the battle of the Hazbin Hotel
Bristles up at first if anyone even hints or jokes about the idea of him liking guys from past expectations of having to repopulate the Earth
Ends up befriending Angel Dust & becoming close to Lucifer again
Angel Dust helps him come to terms with his own gender and sexual identities
~
Adamsapple:
Adam has to feel like the big man in the relationship. However, he will show his softer side to Lucifer and Lucifer only
Adam likes to be the small spoon every once in a while. Usually only when he's in need of comfort
Favorite things to do with Lucifer are tending to the hotel's garden, flying around Hell together, and playing his guitar for him
Even though he's a top, Adam is indeed a pillow princess. And Lucifer loves it
Loves Lucifer no matter what form he takes but does favor whenever he changes into a human form. Something about it drives Adam crazy
Lucifer will miss the more muscular look Adam had back in Eden but actually prefers his soft chubby body
Lucifer enjoys randomly running around on Adam's shoulders no matter how childish people (Alastor) tell him he looks
Their favorite date spots are the garden at the hotel and palace
Alastor:
Met Lucifer before his death and spent 3 years together. Because of this Alastor is very possessive of him
Still Asexual but is only interested in Lucifer. The hotel residents & Rosie now tease him by calling him Lucifer-sexual
Once in Hell Alastor doesn't remember Lucifer at first but watching over him triggers his former interest (obsession) in him
While laying low for seven years, Alastor would pop in to visit Lucifer and make sure no one was touching what belonged to him
Is the biological father of Charlie
They all find out by accident when Charlie develops powers similar to Alastor's own promoting a DNA test courtesy of the Sin of Sloth
Has unfortunately grown rather fond of ducks and polka music
~
Radioapple:
Even though Lucifer is all powerful and the King of Hell, his mental and emotional issues along with his social anxiety, has Alastor giving him scary dog privileges
Has issues with not being in control, especially during sex, so is Alastor always calling the shots. However, Lucifer can nudge him into trying things without much fuss
Lucifer loves giving up control in the bedroom since it's the one the place he isn't pressured and stressed out holding up the image as the King of Hell. Especially when it comes to Alastor
Whenever Alastor isn't in the mood for anything involving touch or intimacy, Lucifer can be found with his shadow
Both love when the other goes into their true demon forms. Alastor loves the show of power and Lucifer loves how big Alastor becomes
While Lucifer respects Alastor's boundaries and how he contacts himself during sex, he is almost obsessed with how feral Alastor gets during his ruts
Favorite things to do involve reading in the same room while listening to music, playing music together, and doing Alastor's radio show
Favorite date spots are Cannibal Town for afternoon strolls, anywhere outside to lay together under the artificial starry sky Lucifer conjures up, and Ozzie's for special occasions
Vox:
Fell in love at first sight when he met Lucifer for the first time as a child
Falls for him again after meeting him at a hot spot for high-ranking demons and hellborns
Grows more powerful as a way to keep Lucifer's attention on him
Often tries to do business with the hotel
Once he finally gets a shot with Lucifer, Vox moves into the hotel to better help out and improve himself
Cuts off ties with Valentino and make emends for what he's done and what he's allowed to happen
Considers Velvette to be a daughter figure
~
Staticapple:
Vox really puts on the charm to make Lucifer flustered. Especially in public
Vox enjoys going to royal events with Lucifer and will do most of the talking for them both
They're both switches so it gets interesting when they both want to bottom (they'll flip a coin or play rock paper scissors to decide who gets to bottom like the dorks they are)
Will sit together and talk about their favorite animals
Vox will have Lucifer laying on top of him when they sleep in the same bed together
Breakfast dates are a must every Saturday since that's when their schedules aren't so jampacked with meetings and other work
Their favorite thing to do is visit Envy and go to the human world for dates to the aquarium

can i rq general hcs for antonio? thank you 💜
I’ve been a little more hesitant to tackle the Hunters, (aside from Ithaqua) just because I’ve been unsure how much to lean into them being the “villains” of the manor. And honestly I’m still a little wishy-washy about their characterizations…but anyway, I’m gonna give it a go with Antonio here (because I’ve got requests for him ;) ) and you guys please feel free to tell me if it feels off.
-Antonio is, first and foremost, depressed. And all his coping mechanisms are self-destructive. When life got hard, he turned to alcohol, and then later to gambling. And then, you know, to making a deal with the devil or something. The combination of those broke his wallet, his love, and then his spirit. His fuse is shorter now as a result, but instead of blowing up he moreso just…deflates.
-Despite being a Hunter, a “bad guy,” he’s probably better now than he was before. The biggest issue now is really the whole possession thing. He’s not exactly what you’d call “in control” of his body a good chunk of the time. Exactly when he’s going to lose control is generally unpredictable, aside from feeling like an invisible string of hair has coiled around his wrists shortly before. It happens a lot in matches, where he’s otherwise hesitant to be all that brutal, as well as when his mood gets low enough like above. But when he is in control, history has made Antionio milder than he was before his initial spiral.
-He still really likes his alcohol, but he’s better about taking it in moderation now. The other Hunters help to keep him in check about this as well, if not because they care about him then because he makes for an annoying, hot-headed drunk. He tends to pick fights when he’s really wasted and why would they want to deal with that?
-Gambling is also still problem for him, but since money doesn’t matter in the manors it’s both less concerning and less thrilling. He and some of the other Hunters place bets on matches, staking things like higher-end foods and favors to one another. He’s often requested to play specific pieces of music for people when he loses—particularly ones he dislikes.
-Because of the greedy imprisonment he suffered, Antonio dislikes spending long periods indoors, and especially in his room. He spends as much time outside as possible, enjoying the garden flowers and a cool breeze. On full moons, when there’s nothing planned, he usually goes wandering about to try and find any survivors doing the same. He enjoys the fresh company, for the most part, and even considers some of them friends.
-Antonio is among the most displeased of the Hunters, regarding the set-up for matches. Despite his history as a violent drunk, he takes no pleasure in hurting people, and he’s bitter about possibly having to be “evil” for the rest of eternity. The fact that some of the survivors don’t hold the matches against him is a balm to his aching soul.
-While the violin is his instrument and weapon of choice, Antonio enjoys all of the arts. Any kind of music, visual, or performance. He understands the importance of self-expression, and loves to see people give themselves to it in earnest. What he dislikes are frauds. People who use art just to make a buck.
-The best love languages for Antonio are Quality Time and Acts of Service. He finds it incredibly sweet when others anticipate some of his needs and complete tasks for him in case his arms are taken and he’s unable to do them himself later. He also just enjoys spending time around his loved ones, it reminds him that he’s not some irredeemable monster. He prefers to show his love through Words of Affirmation and Physical Touch, often giving people sweet pet names and touching their arms.
-His hair is stronger than the game suggests. He can easily carry large items, other people, and even lift himself with it. He can hoist himself up to a second-story floor with relative ease, though being lifted by your scalp isn't exactly the most comfortable sensation, so he tries to avoid it.

If you took a random 10 minute section of both Joshua and Otto's lives and viewed it as an outside observer, what is the probability that Otto would appear as the more pathetic man?
My gut was saying Otto easily, but thinking about it? Equally difficult to tell.
Joshua's internal monologue is extremely depressing. He spends every second berating himself and critiquing the people around him all because of his lack of self worth. Since he's alone a lot of the time, those thoughts can range from just being the ultimate hater to being the most miserable man around. In that regard, he's pretty pathetic, in how he's so openly hostile to Subaru and implicitly hostile to Reinhard over their treatment of his brother. He's got codependency issues up to his neck with how he tries to raise Julius to live a life Joshua couldn't.
This posts gonna be a long one, bear with. Arc 8 spoilers (up to c24) under the cut.
He's so fixated on Julius being perfect for his role it shatters him that they're not in sync. The whole debate about his role of head of house sticks with me heavily. "It was exactly that, handed over. Never stolen." The clinginess Joshua has with Julius is immense. The only thing that really offsets it is, well, he gets to know a wide range of people through him. Tivey and Hetaro are his closest friends, while he's fond of people like Mimi, Ricardo, Cecilus, and Schult. He's able to spend time playing with the triplets in the garden without being as controlling over what Julius does by the time canon rolls around.
Even for people he's not fond of, like Anastasia, Joshua's the one who pushes Julius to go after her when he fucks up and upsets her. He's the one who takes up a sword for the first time in 10 years to protect her because it's what Julius would want, even though he's terrified and weak and thinks she's an awful influence on him. Joshua grows up a lot between his obsession as a child to his obsession now, both in how he handles Julius with others and in how he is by himself. So while he's very much a pathetic person, there's a number of times he's actually... respectable, given his awful circumstances.
It makes me wonder how messed up his dynamic with Julius would be if they never met Reinhard when he was 9.
Otto, on the other hand... He's a lot more put together on the surface. You disrespect Julius to Joshua, he'll be foaming at the mouth, but you disrespect Subaru to Otto? It's not as obvious stepping over that landmine. In terms of situations, though, Otto's a lot more pathetic to me when you compare the two and their dynamics with the others.
Comparatively, Otto's had a far more nuanced upbringing than Joshua. His parents are so sweet, and his family's generally supportive of him, despite everything. He's struggled with his DP and later with Diadora and Russell's shit, where Joshua's just been plagued with ill health and a very warped family dynamic for years. They're somewhat direct opposites in how they're brought up in that regard.
By the time he meets Subaru and eventually joins the Emilia camp, he's been through some awful stuff. Frufoo's a massive pillar of support but in terms of healthy communication with people? He's been drinking at the bar regularly, which is a pretty telling sign of how things are for him. His attachment comes on quick, as people like Pluto have spoken about in their ottoposting (which I would highly recommend!!) from writing a suicide note over deciding to help Subaru all the way to making himself almost indispensible to the camp, despite telling everybody his plans of leaving and running his own store.
Joshua's fixation on Julius comes out of a mix of resentment, survival mechanisms and genuine loneliness, I feel. He's so afraid of being left behind that he tries to make himself integral to Julius, and I think part of that is also reflected in Otto's behaviour to the camp. How he asks all of them if they're worried about him over and over because he wants to feel wanted. Subaru gives him that, leaves him plenty of room to just, latch on and it feeds massively into his own issues of self worth and loneliness.
Don't get me started on how poorly he reacts in arc 8 when that closeness is indirectly (contrary to Otto's own belief) challenged by Julius. How quick he is to lash out and paint him as an outsider, that this does not involve him when it very clearly affects Julius the same as everyone else there. Julius and Emilia's light, able to believe that people are fundamentally good, where Otto nips at Subaru's heels like a lingering shadow.
Both Otto and Joshua are extremely pathetic people. They'll lash out at people, barking at whatever hand comes near them, and then project that rage unto themselves before the thought of talking their problems out dawns on them. I think between them, 10 minutes with Joshua would be a lot more tame for me, if solely down to me being much more fond of Julius praise than Subaru praise. Though sitting through 10 minutes of self hatred vs 10 minutes of whatever's going on in Otto's head is enough to drive anybody insane.
If nothing else, at least Joshua didn't make me read this line with my own two eyes:
#rezero#re:zero#otto suwen#joshua juukulius#ask#On second thoughts both men should explode actually#For different reasons

Accidental Adoptions Vinsmoke Headcanons
So Chapter 7 of Accidental Adoptions is out, and I promised Vinsmoke information! This AU for all who don't know, is Cora deciding that getting Law and the brand new baby that just got adopted into the DQ Pirates out of there is priority #1. Shenanigans occur, and now he's somehow ended up with not only Law and Dellinger, but all the Vinsmoke Siblings. Onto the headcanons!!
All Vinsmoke Siblings
They're all autistic
Are very co-dependant on each other
Distrustful of hospital environments
Reiju - 8 years old - She/Her
The second most durable out of the siblings, strong exoskeleton
Has her 'Poison Pink' abilities [Can produce poison, is immune to doses of poison that would otherwise kill regular people]
Has somewhat canon typical 'has to obey Judge's commands' modification built in [If she hears Judge's voice telling her to do something, she has to obey]
Heals the second quickest
Enjoys gardening
Helping Law out with removing the Amber Lead from his system
Ichiji - 6 years old - He/Him
Has implants in his eyes and hands to allow him to channel his red energy blasts easier
Can see further/see more detail + in fun visions [x-ray, night vision, can see shrimp colours ect.] because of these eye implants
Can't cry any more because of said implants
Least emotional due to experimentation, but is still far ahead of his canon version in terms of emotions
Likes navigation, and has essentially declared himself default captain/navigator on the ship
Niji - 6 years old - He/Him
Heals the quickest due to a combination of experimentation and a strong exoskeleton
Has super speed, which connects into the electricity powers [electricity goes fast]
Electricity powers [Can produce electric blasts from his hands, did not need implants like Ichiji because his exoskeleton was stronger]
Speaks really quickly because of his speed, sometimes forgets that not everyone processes the world like he does
Also has insane hearing
Has gotten very good at sewing because he's basically so quick he's a sewing machine. Also enjoys drawing
Sanji - 6 years old - He/Him (for now)
Most emotional out of his siblings
Has a weak exoskeleton- He's still far stronger than any normal child, but doesn't have the same invulnerability his siblings do
Does have some minor invisibility modifications [can only make parts of himself invisible if he strains himself or if he's stressed, will go full invisible if he's terrified ect.]
Everyone thinks he's got a secret extra genetic modification to talk to animals because he just makes friends with small animals constantly [He has four pet rats, Eloise, Yumi, Polly and Theia]
Loves to cook and make friends with animals
Yonji - 6 years old - He/Him
The most durable of the siblings, his exoskeleton is very strong
Both arms are half mechanical, a commenter (shout out to KitsuneNee_chan) made a remark that it reminded them of Nebula from GOTG, and I totally agree with that.
His physical modifications worked the best out of all the siblings, has had super strength since he was a baby
Has very bad sensory issues, has caused millions of berri in property damage while overstimulated
Isn't too sure what he likes to do, but absolutely loves sweet food and listening to the radio
BONUS!! X Drake Headcanons for this fic
Drake - 16 years old - He/Him
Very jumpy/skittish
An okay cook, is teaching Sanji how to use salt and pepper in moderation while making things
Good at fishing
Thinks that every zoan fruit user also has a personification of their corresponding zoan animal in their head that talks to them and will take full control when they morph into their full animal forms. He is wrong. He is mentally ill [blasts him with the OSDD1b beam]
Is very protective of the kids of the rag-tag orphanage ship that Cora has somehow gathered

OMG, I also love the idea of Severus having a partner. Whenever I think about a post-war Snape, I can’t help but imagine him forming a small family. It doesn’t have to involve a child—a kitten or a parrot could be the little one of the house, or even a guinea pig. Someone small to care for.
But beyond that, what kind of partner would Severus have? I’ve always thought that if he did have a partner, it would be a Muggle. He’s tired of the magical world and wants to step away for a moment, which would lead him to start moving within Muggle society, inevitably meeting a Muggle. Although this also creates a conflict for me, since the only Muggle in his life up until then was his abusive father. But then again, he also put up with a lot of crap from many wizards. I don’t know—it’s a topic with so many layers, depending on the time period in which the story takes place and how the culture of both societies is portrayed.
Right? Like, let the man live peacefully. Let him have a quiet life with a house and a garden full of magical plants where he can research his stuff, read his books, and not be bothered by magical world nonsense or political intrigues anymore. With kids or without, it doesn’t matter—just let the man be at peace; he’s been through enough already. Honestly, I’m fully behind this idea. Because Severus wouldn’t care about being considered a war hero—he’d just want to be left alone.
As for the rest, Severus is a guy with a lot of issues, but mostly with a terrible personality. He’s got a strong temper but is also very repressed, though he can’t fully control his temper because he’s emotionally volatile. While I think a post-war Severus would be calmer due to less pressure, I also believe his emotional scars wouldn’t magically heal, so he’d still be a jerk, a git, and generally difficult to deal with.
That’s why I always picture him with a partner who also has a strong temper and enough backbone to handle his tantrums without being intimidated. Someone who’d tell him to go to hell and calm down before talking to them when he explodes. Probably someone used to dealing with emotionally and mentally unstable people, or someone who wouldn’t take his outbursts seriously and would just ignore him until he chilled out. I also see him with someone extroverted because he’s extremely introverted and would never make the first move in a million years. The other person would have to be the one to approach him and make him feel safe about the decisions he makes. Severus is incredibly insecure when it comes to emotional matters and would probably think no one could ever like him, mainly because certain people spent his entire adolescence calling him ugly and greasy, and that stigma followed him throughout his teaching years. That, and deep down, he has awful self-esteem and probably sees himself as a failure in general. So, I can’t picture him making the first move—it’s very hard for me to imagine. That super-confident, Byronic hero version of Severus in some fics doesn’t fit with how I see him. He’s insecure until someone proves there’s nothing to fear.
He’d benefit most from a confident, extroverted partner with the guts to take the initiative. Someone who understands he has a lot of baggage but doesn’t fall into a maternal/paternal role, because your partner isn’t supposed to be your parent. Your partner is your partner; they can understand and support you but aren’t your therapist. Especially for someone like Severus, who needs to work on himself, not rely on others to patch up his wounds. They can help him heal, but he has to do the work.
I actually started writing a Severus fic with a Muggle!Reader because I love the dynamic and found it really interesting. It’s fascinating to explore, especially since he grew up in a Muggle environment and clearly knows some things about that world. But I’ve always imagined that he completely distanced himself from it once his parents died, and probably didn’t have much contact with the Muggle world after becoming a Hogwarts professor, except when strictly necessary. By the early 2000s, he’d be totally out of touch with many modern advancements.
I also like that dynamic because Severus is a well-known figure—he taught nearly twenty generations of students, which is insane given how small the magical community is. Practically half the population must have had him as their Potions professor. Then there’s the whole "he killed Dumbledore" thing, being a Death Eater, and later revealed as a double agent. In a post-war AU where he survives, he’d basically be a magical-world celebrity, sparking very divided opinions. And that would give him massive anxiety. Like, on top of surviving (when we all know he wanted to die because he was so fed up with life), he’d have to deal with that nonsense? I 100% see him being much more comfortable with someone who knows nothing about him, has no preconceived notions or judgments, and gives him a chance to just be himself—or explore a side of his personality he couldn’t show due to his spy role and all the deception he had to maintain.
There’s also an interesting theme of cognitive dissonance—having prejudices against Muggles (which all wizards have, even the good ones, because they treat Muggles like idiots) and then being confronted with the reality of what Muggles are capable of. Especially given that he was a Death Eater and deeply hated everything Muggle due to his experiences with his father and the poverty he endured as a child in that world.
So yeah, 100% your headcanon because it’s mine too! 😂

Random Heathers Headcannons
These all take place in an AU where JD be more chill and decides that murder and slushies are not in fact the best ways to deal with mental illness and goes see a therapist, also Modern Times and PolyHeathers+V
The Heathers + Veronica have lots of money after Chandler and Duke's parents die in a "freak accident"
So maybe JD didn't fully shed his homicidal tendencies, just turned them on people who actually deserved it bc they were all shitty people who traumatized people he begrudgingly cares about
Big Bud Dean also mysteriously dies around this time in a freak accident involving being in a building right before it blows up
Being the only children of rich assholes whose family abandoned them for petty rich people reasons means they inherit the mansions and money, meaning the four of them can live in peace and don't have to get jobs unless they really want to
Veronica decides to write, since she doesn't have to worry about making it in the real world she can focus on her passion projects
Mac works with her Dad, who is alive because he did not contribute to her issues, that would be how society fails to meet the needs of autistic people, especially in education
She eventually is going to take over the engagement ring business, which is a pretty decent amount of income on top of their massive fortune
She also volunteers at animal shelters in her free time bc she loves animals
Duke initially says screw jobs but she quickly gets bored and decides to go into Child Psychology, she wants to help kids who were like her and had nowhere and no one to turn to, and help those in abusive situations to get out of them, bc JD can't just murder all of the abusive parents in the world, as great as that would be
Chandler thinks they are all crazy for taking jobs when they don't have to, but she gets bored as well waiting for them to get home so she starts doing all the chores
What she thought would originally be meaningless busywork actually becomes fun for her
It turns out she likes to cook, which is good bc if she didn't her gfs would would subsist entirely on hot pockets and coffee
She learns how to bake and the rest of them would often come home to fresh cupcakes or cookies
She also takes up gardening, which surprises her bc she thought she would hate having to get all up in the dirt
She's always buying different kinds of flowers to plant in the yard
Obviously she gets the most of heathers, duh
It feels like a final fuck you to her parents, who wanted her to become a rich asshole like the rest of their family
They sell the Duke residence to JD, Betty and Martha for cheap bc they don't need 2 houses (and bc they feel bad about how they treated them) while they all move into the Chandler Mansion
Life is chaotic as hell, but they all love it
Everyone besides Mac is a Night Owl, she has to drag them to bed at a reasonable hour otherwise they would stay up all night
They cannot function without their morning coffee
They occasionally play games, but this always turns out horribly
Take the Mario Party Incident for example
Mac just wanted them to all play together and have fun, so she booted up Mario Party, quickly forgetting how competitive Duke and Chandler are
They scream at each other the entire time, Veronica gives up around Round 4 and throws
At the end Chandler has the most stars, but Duke somehow gets all 3 bonus stars and ends up winning
Chandler fucking throws her controller through the TV
She sleeps on the couch that night
Or the time they tried to play Monopoly, but Duke set the board on fire after landing on Chandler's property with 3 hotels
Mac really wants to get a pet, she loves animals and there's plenty at the shelter waiting to be adopted
Duke is the holdout, she hates furry animals, but relents when she can get a snake
Veronica brings her cat JFK from her parent's place, Chandler gets a Maine Coon who only likes Mac and will hiss at everyone else, Mac gets a rabbit bc she loves them, they're just so tiny and fluffy and cute, and Duke gets a ball python
Chandler tried so hard to get the cat to like her, buying her all these toys and shit, but she'll always go to Mac for attention and hiss whenever Chandler gets close
Chandler hates the snake, in reality she's just scared, a fact which Duke takes full advantage of, like after the monopoly incident
Chandler goes to put on her war paint (makeup) when everyone hears a scream
Chandler is hiding in the corner, shaking at the sight of this small little ball python sitting in the cabinet
Duke is a chaos gremlin
Duke also sleeps on the couch that day
Veronica is a weeb and will binge anime all day if she has nothing else to do
She finds this one called I'm In Love With The Villainess bc one of the characters, Claire, looks a hell of alot like Chandler
She forces the Heathers to sit down and watch it with her, and they all agree Chandler is literally Claire
She starts calling Veronica 'commoner' after that

For vampire!nat... do you think that she has old friends that she decides to introduce to the reader? I don't know why but I feel like that old friend would be wanda and they were both besties since before they turned and now that wanda knows about reader she helps nat with keeping reader in control.
Idk, but I would love to see your headcanons about it <333
Thank you so much!! I appreciate the request <3 As for Vampire! Nat, I think I'm just going to insert a bit of my own lore surrounding these vamps rather than just leaving it up to y'all's interpretation.
Warnings: Yandere themes, talk of the reader having been kidnapped, held captive, and treated like a child.
I think there would be a very select few people that Natasha would trust around her darling.
Usually, she's pretty proud, and she won't ask for help unless she really needs it. She keeps thinking that you're her child, so she should be able to take care of and discipline you herself rather than having others do it for her.
However, if it gets to a point where you clearly haven't been cooperating for a while, Nat will bring someone in who she thinks can help, because she does have friends out there.
A couple, like Bruce and Steve, she wouldn't trust around you. She thinks that Bruce is too soft-hearted to help control you and that his tenderness would only make you attached to him rather than her.
On the other hand, Nat believes that Steve would be too harsh. She's seen how mean he can be with his own darling, and while Nat may need help to control you, she doesn't want to break you in the process.
Natasha wants to find a proper medium. Not too harsh and not too soft. Two of those friends would be Wanda and Clint.
I definitely like the idea that they all grew up together and were friends before they turned. You're right about that vibe, anon.
Like they grew up in the same village, were best friends, and were promptly turned by the same guy. They learned the ropes together and still remain good friends to this day.
And while they may not stick together all of the time, they still keep in contact regularly and see each other every decade or so to catch up. Not to mention they all know they can call on each other for help if they need it.
Plus, Nat knows both of them well enough to trust them with her darling, which says a lot.
When you're getting hard to control, she trusts them not to be too hard or too soft on you. And they are good at that.
With her own darling, Wanda can be a bit (a lot) overbearing, but when dealing with her friend's child, it's a bit different.
She's incredibly charming, acting like the good cop to Natasha's bad cop. Her softness will allow you to talk to her and stop fighting as much.
Meanwhile, Clint is quite good at actually fixing the problem. Once Wanda gets you to talk about what sort of issues you have with Natasha's parenting style, Clint is the one that helps both you and Nat find a compromise.
If you want to go outside a bit more, Clint will suggest getting you a garden. Of course, you'll still be watched and tracked, but it is a compromise, so nothing comes for free.
If you act really, really good, Natasha also agreed to the idea of taking you to get ice cream every once in a while, under the condition that you don't misbehave (aka, scream for help or try to run.)
The one thing Natasha will never budge on is talking to your family, especially your bio parents. She's your mom and you're her child. She's the only family you have any more and you need to accept it.
But hey, life does get better once she seeks help from Wanda and Clint. At the very least, you get a few more freedoms so long as you act better.

I have major trust issues so it takes a while to get close to people.

Hi Schneider! Thank you for your request! Sorry it took so long. I hope you like your matchups!
In Bungo Stray Dogs, I match you with...
You and Atsushi are very similar in that you’re both more on the quiet side and want to feel needed. This means you’re able to support each other in ways other people can’t.
Atsushi is a lot more open with his emotions compared to you, but this difference doesn’t cause problems. He’s very in tune with people's emotions, even if they don’t outwardly display them so he usually has some idea of how you’re feeling.
Since you both want to feel needed and have some trust issues, you’ll both place a lot of trust in each other. Where other people may not understand or be unable to help, you’re usually able to have each other’s backs.
There is a lot of drama to be had when the Armed Detective Agency is involved but Atsushi will do what he can to keep you away from and out of it as much as possible. There’s only so much he can do though.
I think Atsushi would really enjoy gardening. He’d find it peaceful, and it gives a nice sense of doing something small to make the world a better place.
In Sk8 the Infinity, I match you with...
Reki is one of the best people to have around if you’re clumsy. He’s always getting into accidents with his skateboard, so he’s got into the habit of carrying around antiseptic and Band-Aids everywhere he goes, just in case.
He’s a very expressive person but gets along with everyone, regardless of how open they are with emotion. Just look at him and Langa. Langa wasn’t the most openly emotional at the beginning of the series but that didn’t stop Reki from befriending him.
No need to worry about getting lost with Reki around. He’s skated all over town and knows every backstreet like the back of his hand.
Always on the lookout for things you can add to your collections. He’s got a sharp eye for those things and loves being able to give them to you so he can watch your reaction.
Whether it’s a cool rock he accidentally skated over (and ended up needing to use some of those Band-Aids), a bottlecap from his drink at lunch, or a plush toy he won at an arcade, he likes gifting you thinks that he hopes remind you of him.
In Legend of Zelda, I match you with...
While you and Link share a lot of similarities, you also have quite a lot of differences. And it’s those differences that make your relationship work so well.
There’s no need to worry about your trust issues with Link around. He’s one of the easiest people to trust in Hyrule and for good reason to. This guy will do everything in his power to make sure you never feel betrayed by him.
I see Link as someone who would enjoys shopping with you. He’s got a good eye for thinks you might like and an even better eye for discounts and sales. He’s also happy to carry any bags you have.
While he’s not super messy, I do see Link as someone who tends to just put things down wherever instead of back where they came from. This can sometimes lead to mess but he’s always happy to tidy things up if they get out of hand.
He knows you can be clumsy so he’s starting to develop a sixth sense to know when you’re likely to bump into or trip over something. He always has bandages and healing potions on hand just to be sure.

Okay, so now I’m thinking about what if Victor HAD finished Creature 2.0?
What the first Creature is thinking is, “And they lived happily ever after away from people. The end.” But would it be that simple?
She wakes up. She’s overwhelmed by her senses and everything around her. Sees two beings in the room with her, one about her height, maybe taller, the other much smaller. They exchange sounds at each other, then the smaller one makes some gestures and leaves the room.
I’m not a story writer, so I don’t know the details of what happens next. But the first Creature would be guiding her from there on. Victor’s part is done, so he and the Creatures are at quits. She might not remember him after a while because there’s so much to take in at once.
The Creature is a hard one for me to pin down in characterization. But he’s really patient. He’d be patient with her, knowing what she’s going through in her first couple days. Victor probably packed up his stuff and left the place to these two; not his problem now whether they stay or take off right away—the Creature will keep his word. I don’t know how urgently the Creature would want to change location, if he’d want to give Lady (I’m going to call her Lady) a few more days to find her feet, or if he’d hustle her somewhere else where they can take their time. Probably the latter. He’d help her learn to talk, and she would rely on him completely. Eventually he would lead her on their journey to isolation.
Would they glimpse other people on the way? Would they have to hide? Taking cues from his behavior, would she fear other humans without even interacting? Or would she be curious and want to find out for herself? We can easily imagine how a meeting then would go. She’d rely on Creature even more afterwards.
… OR, would they never run into humans, and make it all the way to the sanctuary Creature had picked out without incident?
Victor wondered if they’d have kids. No, he seemed certain that they could have children. That opens up another wild series of possibilities. Would Lady be prepared for it? Creature probably knows some stuff, but even he wouldn’t be prepared for that. They’d be flying blind in raising a family. I could potentially see Creature going near human habitation for research and observation, but would Lady go too? Or would she have to stay behind, alone? It’s a risk for Creature to go, a bigger risk for both of them to go.
Throughout all this, would Lady be satisfied? She’d looked to Creature this whole time as her guide. Depending on her personality, would she be content with all that? Or would she be more and more curious about all that she hadn’t yet experienced? Creature is smart and resourceful; unless something wildly unexpected happened, he’d make sure he and she got to their sanctuary safely and without incident. But he can only control so much. Would she wonder about the environments beyond? If Creature told her of his interactions with humans, how long until she wanted to test for herself? It sometimes takes just having an experience for someone to decide if they’re content with the same setting for the rest of their life. Creature has had experiences, Lady has not. Creature had to grow up quick, being on his own. Lady, maybe not so much, since she’d been taken care of and provided for, but that would change once children become an issue. Kids or not, eventually it will happen. She’d crave experiences of her own.
What then?
It’s a bit like Rapunzel, or the Disney film of The Hunchback of Notre Dame (haven’t read the book yet, dunno what’s the same, what’s different). Or The Secret Garden.
Oh god, I just thought of something else. What if she died in childbirth? What would Creature do then?
And there’s no way to tell their lifespan, either. Can they age?
So many possibilities…..

Previous. Chapter 42: Visits.
Chapter 43. Emotions.
Both Scott and Gordon had spent the last 45 minutes in silence, watching over Virgil with deep concern as he lay with his eyes shut, clinging tightly onto his sick bowl. The intensity of his migraines had grown, the vomiting had become more frequent, and due to the lack of sleep he was getting, the normally peace keeping artist had become extremely moody,
“Scotty,” Virgil mumbled, after he had finished vomiting once more.
“Yes bro, can I get you something?” Scott asked.
“Please don’t let Alan or Gordon see me like this.”
“Err, sorry Virg. Gordon’s already here,” Scott pointed out, signalling to where he was sitting.
“Hey,” Gordon smiled, when Virgil looked at him groggily, “as for Alan, I don’t think you’ll be able to drag him away.”
“No control anymore!” Virgil stated before crumpling himself over the bowl and vomiting again.
Gordon and Scott exhaled at the state their brother was in, both desperate to help or soothe him in some way.
When Virgil had finished the nurse quickly swapped the bowl. “Try and drink some more water.” She said, pouring some into a cup.
“Virg, please... Let me help you, you’re going to drop it,” Scott cautioned, noticing Virgil’s hand shaking.
“No!” Virgil snapped, taking a hold of the cup and sipping some.
“Try and drink some more,” the nurse ordered, when Virgil had placed the cup back down.
Virgil huffed to himself and muttered under his breath before taking hold of the cup.
“Come on Virgil, let us help you,” Gordon begged, when he saw Virgil’s hand was shaking even more than before.
“No!” Virgil snapped again. Gordon and Scott glanced at each other knowing the inevitable was going to happen. Sure enough, Virgil’s hand began shaking and the water went all over him. “God damn it!” Virgil exploded. Throwing the plastic cup across the room. “Can’t do anything!”
The nurse half-smiled at Gordon and Scott, who both looked shocked and saddened by Virgil’s outburst. “Don’t worry, It’s just the drugs. As soon as they are out of his system he’ll be back to his normal self… It may be best if we had just one person at a time while his migraines and sickness are this bad,” she suggested, “it may also help him emotionally as well… If you can give us about 10 minutes, I’ll get this cleaned up.”
“Okay,” Scott and Gordon agreed, both trudging out the room and outside to the hospital gardens where their grandma, John and Alan were enjoying some fresh air.
“Is everything okay with Virgil?” John asked with concern, when he saw Gordon and Scott.
Scott and Gordon despondently relayed what had happened. Detailed their concern over Virgil’s emotional state becoming worse, and the advice the nurse had given.
“The nurse is probably right,” Alan stated, “it’s just the drugs, he’ll be okay in a few days.”
“I don’t think so,” Gordon replied, “he seemed so angry and frustrated.”
Scott nodded. “I think the drugs are displaying the pent-up frustrations he’s been trying to hide since we found him.”
“Mm…” Ruth pondered. “Alan, John, I know you were both due to go in, but because it’s now one at a time, I think it may be best if I go next… I believe this may need a grandma’s touch!” Ruth smiled at Gordon and Scott. “How long did the nurse say she would be?”
“About 10 minutes,” Gordon answered.
“Right, then I’ll make my way up now,” she smiled, “will you boys be okay, while I’m gone?”
“Yes grandma,” Scott grinned, “I don’t know about the others, but I need a coffee.”
“Count me in,” John, Alan and Gordon echoed.
“You boys and your coffee,” Ruth laughed, “I’ll see you all in the canteen when I come out!”
… …
Auckland Prison:
Jeff and Penelope glanced at each other and smirked as the Hood’s eyes now changed from a piercing yellow to an intense gold. “I really think you need your eyes tested,” Jeff mocked.
“Why is it not working?” The Hood shrieked.
“Oh, dear, what’s wrong?” Penny questioned with fake concern.
“I think it’s his powers,” Jeff answered, “for some reason, they don’t seem to be working.”
“What have you done?” The Hood demanded.
Penny pulled out a small box from an inner pocket, opened it, and then placed it on the table in front of the Hood, displaying a pair of contacts which were inside. “The reason your powers are not working is because myself and Jeff are both wearing contacts which are just like these prototypes. You see they were invented by a colleague of ours, they work by protecting the retina from receiving the hypnotic suggestions you are sending out.”
The Hood growled and brought his chained hands down onto the contacts smashing them into bits.
“Oh, how clumsy of you!” Jeff taunted. “Now, don’t worry… Our colleague was quite confident that these would work. In fact, he was so confident that he’s already made several of them in advance, and thankfully they’ve already been given to anyone who has the displeasure of dealing with you. Of course, now we know they do work, he will be making plenty more of them… Which means, that you’re not going anywhere!”
… …
Ruth had quietly entered the ICU room, and taken a seat next to Virgil’s bed. Softly stroking his head while he dosed. After five minutes, with his eyes remaining shut, Virgil clutched onto the sick bowl which had been resting next to him and vomited. The nurse swapped the bowl over and handed him some more tissues, while Ruth poured some water into a cup. “Right, are you going to let me help you?” She questioned, holding the cup firmly. “Or are you going to throw another cup across the room?”
Virgil blearily opened his eyes and looked at his grandma. “Sorry,” he stuttered, excepting the help from her.
“You know, it’s perfectly okay to get angry, scared, and emotional after what’s happened to you,” she said, placing the cup down when he had finished. Ruth turned back to face Virgil and noticed the tears that were beginning to well up in his eyes. “Oh, sweetheart,” Ruth exclaimed, gently holding Virgil in her arms as best she could with all the wires that were attached. “It’s okay, everything is going to be okay.”
“I want to feel like me again,” Virgil wept.
“You will. Maybe not the old you, but a new you will emerge from all of this, one who is stronger than before… It may take some time, but you know that we are all here to help you along the way,” Ruth soothed, continuing to hold onto Virgil as he openly sobbed into her shoulders.
After Virgil had fallen asleep in her arms, Ruth placed him gently back on his bed, and returned to her four other grandsons who were in the canteen, having been joined by Doctor Gerry Sylvia. She happily greeted the doctor and then began filling them all in on what had happened.
“Is there anything we can do for him?” Alan questioned.
“He’s emotionally exhausted… He’s frustrated, angry, and scared, not that he’ll admit that last part,” Ruth observed, “the best thing you can do, is to make sure he receives the much-needed support he will require when he returns home!”
“Of course!” All the boys replied.
“Good! Just maybe try to hold back on the smothering, okay?” Ruth said, staring straight at Scott.
“What?” Scott commented. “I think you’ve got the wrong grandson, I never smother!”
“Ah!” Gordon, Alan and John retorted.
“Okay, okay,” Scott grinned, “I’ll try… No promises though!” Everyone laughed, except John who was staring across the room. “Hey, what’s up?” Scott asked.
“What are they doing here?” John growled, pointing across the room at Maria Andrews and Emily Sanderson, who had not long entered the canteen, and were both trying desperately to not catch their eyes.
“They’re here for a meeting to discuss everything that’s happened,” Doctor Sylvia answered.
“And what will happen?” Gordon asked.
“Unfortunately, it’s up to them,” Gerry responded, “no charges have been made, and unless new evidence surfaces, or Virgil remembers something, neither of them will be taken back in for questioning. So, as far as the hospital directors are concerned they are innocent and welcome to return to work.”
“Well, one of them is guilty and she certainly doesn’t belong here!” Scott stated, rising from the chair.
Ruth immediately pulled her grandson back down. “Scott, one of those two women is completely innocent in all of this, and she doesn’t deserve a tirade.”
“No, but the other one certainly does!” Scott muttered.
… …
Auckland Prison:
After a long period of silence. the Hood leaned in closer to Penelope and Jeff. “I know all of your secrets Jeff… Everything about you, from your family life to International Rescue. If you don’t let me go, then I will make sure the whole world knows exactly who runs International Rescue!”
Jeff smirked. “Do you really think I would let you go, just so you could leave here and hurt my son again? No! Your threats are not going to work on me… I would gladly sacrifice the secrecy of International Rescue for any of my boys… So, you can tell whoever you want… However, let’s face it, no one would believe you, and even if they did… Well, I would make sure they didn’t find a single piece of evidence… So, if you want to tell people then go right ahead, tell everyone who we are. Shout it from behind your prison walls… Because Balah Gaat, you won’t be leaving them for a very long time!”
“God damn you Jeff Tracy!” The Hood shrieked, throwing himself into a fit of rage.
Four prison officers rushed in the room and constrained the Hood, while he continued to yell obscenities at both Jeff and Penny. They were about to pull him out of the room and escort him back to his cell, stopping when the Hood screamed. “If I’m going to prison then that damn woman is coming with me!”
… …
Scott continued to stare at the two women, as they both sat separately on the opposite side of the canteen. Eventually his continuous glare was broken when his grandmothers phone began to ring. “It’s your father,” Ruth observed, when she looked at the caller ID, “hi son.”
“Hi mom, how’s Virgil?” Jeff immediately asked.
“Not great I’m afraid, his sickness and migraines have gotten worse, and he’s been very emotional as well.”
“Oh,” Jeff sighed, “well, I’ll be back as soon as I can.”
So, what happened with this invention?” Ruth questioned.
“They work!” Jeff happily reported.
“That’s great news Jeff,” Ruth beamed, passing on the news to the others.
“And did the Hood reveal anything useful?” Ruth queried.
“Can the boys here me?” Jeff asked.
They’re sitting next to me, with Gerry Sylvia,” Ruth replied, “I could put you on speaker if you want me too? But we are in the canteen, and those two women have just shown up!”
“What,” Jeff gasped, “they’re in there right now?”
“Unfortunately, they are.” Ruth confirmed.
Jeff exhaled. “Please put me on speaker, but keep the volume low.” As soon as Ruth had done what Jeff had asked, he continued to speak. “The police have just called the hospital to find out where they both were, and are probably on their way now.”
“Why?” Alan asked.
“The Hood named one them,” Jeff reported.
“What… Who?” Scott questioned.
Jeff released a heavy breath. “With them both in the room with you, I don’t think I should say, and to be honest, none of us are sure if Hood was even telling the truth… At first when he went to name her, he was angry and wanted her to suffer as much as him… But he then grew quiet, and when we pushed him for the name he seemed to take pleasure from seeing everyone wanting to know, especially me. Even though he hates her, he detests me more, and I’m sure he would love knowing that we have the wrong one. That way she would still be a threat to Virgil.”
“Dad… Please, she’s here right now. Which one did he name?” Scott demanded.
“Scott, I’m not saying. The police will be coming to take her in for more questioning.”
“Well, it looks like we’re about to find out anyway. Security are here now.” Scott jumped to his feet and stared at the security who were now talking to one of the women. “You,” he growled, storming over to Emily Sanderson, when it became apparent from her shocked reaction that she had been blamed.
“I haven’t done anything!” She stressed, looking from security to all the Tracy boys who were now standing next to Scott.
“Then prove it!” Scott countered.
“I will! I’m going to the police station now, and I will clear my name,” She promised him.
Scott seethed to himself as he watched her leaving the canteen with the security. “I hope she doesn’t get away with this!”
“Scott, dad said the Hood may have been lying,” John reminded him, “they may have the wrong woman!”
Scott exhaled and stared at Maria Andrews, who was looking utterly shocked by what had taken place. Glancing up from where she was sitting, she caught the stares of all of them. Looking quickly away, with her head down, she stood and left the canteen, making sure not to catch any more of their glares.

FUTURE GOALS / PLOT LINES | TASK ONE.
ace.
therapy/healing — despite how much he tells himself he’s fine and that he has no unresolved childhood trauma, in reality he does. abandoned by his father and used by his mother for her own selfish needs, he has a lot of trust issues and a lot of insecurities in himself because of this. I would love to see him realize that if he’s to have any kind of normal future, he may need a little bit of help to move past these issues.
letting someone in — while ace doesn’t struggle to make friends, not many really know him completely. he doesn’t like to let anyone see what’s really going on behind the smile and jokes. I would like — and he would too despite how much he denies it — to see him slowly begin to trust someone and let them in past a surface level. romantically, platonically— either would be amazing. or both.
showcasing art — ace has absolutely no issues with showing off his cartoon work, it’s what pays the bills after all. but he also has more personal pieces that he paints that more so represent him as a person on the inside and I would eventually like for him to feel more comfortable showing the world.
adopting all the pups and buying a house — rescuing charlie was the best thing he ever did, and he plans to adopt as many dogs as he can handle once he gets a better grip on his own life. when he pictures his future the only thing he knows for sure as that he wants a house with a huge garden for all of his future dog kiddos.
children. eventually. big maybe — the idea of children honestly terrifies him at this point in his life, though with a little growth I feel like he’d be such an amazing, fun dad. he just needs to come to terms with the fact that he’s nothing like his parents and that he won’t necessarily fuck his potential kids up the way they did him.
sofia.
learning to love the person she’s becoming — going straight from a controlling household with a lot of expectation into a whirlwind marriage didn’t leave sofia with a lot of time to find her own footing as a person, however over the last couple of years she’s really been growing into her own, and the more time that passes the more okay she is with spending time in her own company. personal growth is definitely a big thing for her.
being a mother — the ultimate goal. she’s known ever since she was young and helping to take care of her brothers that she wanted to be a mother. It’s something she’s always felt she was meant to do. while wanting to be fully happy with herself first, this is a definite. in what way she isn’t sure yet, but she’s very open to adoption or a donor if it isn’t something that happens naturally for her.
resolving conflict with one or all brothers — despite them turning their back on her to keep themselves within the wealth of their family, I do think they still care very deeply for her. I can see them slowly begin to reach out in the future once they’ve went on to start their own families and realize the importance. while it would be difficult for her to forgive, at the end of the day she helped to raise them and that is a love that cannot be erased.
atlas.
healing his heart — since the death of his girlfriend almost seventeen years ago, he’s been carrying a lot of misplaced guilt. regardless of him being in no way able to stop the situation, he still thinks he could have changed things if he’d been there and often wishes it was him instead of her. Ideally I’d like for him to come to terms with what happened and to accept that it wasn’t his fault, and that she wouldn’t want him to feel like this for the rest of his life. she would want him to live his life to the fullest.
learning to love again — while he’s had casual flings and one night stands, he hasn’t had anything close to serious in the past seventeen years. watching him learn how to navigate the dating world now would be so fun, though anyone he gets involved with is set for a bumpy ride because stepping out of solitude is never easy. he’s used to keeping himself guarded and keeping things close to his chest. this is bound to cause conflict.
forming deeper connections — he doesn’t often let people in, but when he does he’s very lovable, very protective asshole. he could use some real friends, and over time I would love for him to build a real sibling bond with his half-sister ripley.
luna.
change as many lives as she can for the better — it’s so important to her to help kids growing up in similar situations that she did. she knows how lucky she was to end up with a loving adoptive family, and strives to help each person she comes in contact with throughout her career. I would however like to see how failure to do so effects her.
opening herself up to romance — she’s had relationships but they never seem to last. ask her about love and she’ll look at you like she’s about to puke. but deep down part of her would like someone to share the whole life thing with. however she is extremely used to being super independent and struggles to let people help her with most things. I’d love to see her find a happy balance of it all.
adopt a child — like, far in the future. maybe. if she ever is to have children, she wouldn’t mind having them be biological, but she also knows she 1000% wants to adopt in the future regardless. her dads gave her the best chance in life and she would love to do the same. however at this time in her life she doesn’t feel ready at all. I could however see her taking a young adult under her wing in a sibling vibe kinda way, one that is maybe going off the rails and needs a little help. she simply can’t help herself.
#chq;task#task | ace.#task | sofia.#task | atlas.#task | luna.#if you think your muse could potentially fit anything lemme know!

I did it! 29 prompts for 29 days of my first ever febuwhump ❤️
I really feel like my writing saw some much needed improvement by the end of it.
Fandom: Batman (all media types)
Word count: 32,864
Posted as: Featherly
All ficlets can be found here
Since all of my responses to the prompt appear in the link my super post will be a summary instead:
Day 1- Tim and Dick attend Bruce Wayne’s funeral. Tim is helpless to remove an uninvited guest.
Day 2-Jason is used for different villains torture methods within the walls of Arkham. Ivy heals his injuries and he finally gets to sleep.
Day 3- Dick as Robin is captured by Joker and Batman saves him, but not before permanent damage is done.
Day 4- Jarvis Tetch captures Tim Drake as Robin and implants a mind control device in his brain. Tim cannot escape. (TW implied rape)
Day 5- Dick as Nightwing is captured by riddler, waiting for Batman to save him. The riddle might be too vague though, and the coincidence is unnerving.
Day 6- Jason and Roy take Tim out. They pull a nasty prank that lets Tim know just how they feel about him, so Tim let’s them know just how he feels about them.
Day 7- Damian tries to hide his injury, but Bruce finds it and helps Damian where he can.
Day 8- Jason watches the rain, remembering that the best part of his childhood was actually one of the worst.
Day 9- Bruce goes on a tour of an enormous garden to find out information on where Tim went. He plans to return as Batman, but what he finds renders that unnecessary.
Day 10- Dick as Robin gets tortured by zsasz. He takes his only opportunity to make it stop.
Day 11- Jason is caught in a time loop until he can stop the bomb from exploding. He uncovers a terrible secret that can’t justify his death every night.
Day 12- Dick as Robin goes on his first mission. It ends with him in hospital and his identity compromised.
Day 13- Dick teaches Tim how to ride a dirt bike. They go on Tim’s first ever track but don’t see the hidden danger until it’s too late.
Day 14- Dick as Robin goes out on his final patrol after donating almost everything he has (TW suicide)
Day 15- Dicks school councillors are concerned about the bruises. His lies are see-through and the police take over. Bruce isn’t happy about the fact
Day 16- Jason returns home in the dead of winter. Alfred nopes out of there immediately, but Bruce wants to find out why he has his son back.
Day 17- Jason as Robin doesn’t listen and faces the consequences of his actions
Day 18- Dick as Nightwing fights until he can’t. After 38 rounds, he can’t.
Day 19- Bruce asks Jason as Red hood to come on a mission. He hates Tim as Robin immediately and makes sure the kid doesn’t forget the fact
Day 20- Damian is in therapy and forced to open up thanks to something in his drink. His therapist gets to the bottom of his issues pretty quickly because of it
Day 21- Jason as Robin is injected with fear toxin and neither Dick nor Bruce can pull him back from it
Day 22- Bruce teaches Tim how to shoot in the growing darkness. They find out that someone else was out there too.
Day 23- Dick and Jason try to do something normal after Tim’s disappearance. They find their first and only lead while at lunch.
Day 24- Dick hasn’t slept since Jason’s disappearance. He has become unpleasant to be around because of it and Bruce does what he can to put a stop to it
Day 25- Talia Al Ghul wants information. Dick as Nightwing has that information. She doesn’t like what he has to say.
Day 26- All four boys are stuck in a pit with a countdown above them. One of them managed to get a message out, but as the timer gets closer to zero they wonder if they’ll get out.
Day 27- Bruce reflects on the life he had and what will become of the legacy he’d created
Day 28- Jason sees his first kill.
Day 29- Tim as Red Robin is killed again and again. He becomes something terrible.

For Aurin, 🍝 🍸 and all the day to day food ones? 🥯 🥪 🍛
Ooo..
Putting a small cw for eating disorder discussion later on in the post. It'll come up with the second part of the ask, I'll mark it.
🍝 "what is/are your oc's favorite food(s)?"
Aurin doesn't necessarily have a favorite food (which you'll understand with the rest of this post), but he absolutely adores the little things Malikye makes for him. He's particularly fond of sandwiches that Mal makes using tomatoes from his little garden.
----
🍸 "what is your oc's favorite alcoholic drink, if they can drink?"
Despite his other substance issues, alcohol is actually something Aurin stays away from! He doesn't like the ways he's felt both while drunk and after he's been hungover before. He feels much less in control of himself when he's drunk opposed to when he's been high or micro dosed LSD.
There's also a part of him that worries about the way he acts while drunk, and things that may happen to him when he's much more impaired or physically unaware. Trauma n' things.
---- cw from beginning of post, ed discussion ↓
🥯 🥪 🍛 what does your oc's typical breakfast/lunch/dinner look like? do they usually eat breakfast/lunch/dinner?
Aurin typically doesn't really eat much at all unless one of a few conditions is met:
Someone, such as Merriweather, is taking care of him and either helping him cook or is encouraging him to eat
He's under less stress or strain from his work and allows himself time for a break to eat
He's under less emotional stress
When Merriweather took care of Aurin and had him stay with her during Heartworm and the few chapters that followed, he ate more because Merriweather either cooked something or would bring him things and encourage him to eat. Heartworm and the chapters close after it were the height of emotional distress for Aurin after what happened to him, and that's the window of time when his eating disorder got worse.
Before any of his trauma stemming from Alcove or anything there, he still did struggle with eating but to a lesser extent. Usually it would just be because he "didn't feel like he needed to" or he'd become too involved in whatever he was working on and he'd either forget to eat or procrastinate over whether he should eat or not. He's been doing that since he was real young though.
Part of his emotional distress around eating is from his trauma shown in Heartworm, but part of it in general just has to do with still struggling to accept his body as it is. I've made it clear before but I'll say it again, the decade(s) his story is in aren't friendly to trans, genderqueer, or intersex folk, and his trauma surrounding a part of his identity he can't control has driven his eating disorder to become worse.
Both Merriweather and Malikye give Aurin a lot of love though, and Malikye honestly loves playing "housewife" for Aurin and cooking for him, so Aurin does have a support system there. But he doesn't (at least on his own) eat "regularly" to answer the question more directly.
If he's living on his own without Merriweather or Malikye helping him, he might only have a breakfast or lunch maybe two or three times in a week? And whatever he'd have wouldn't be much. He doesn't really even attempt dinner because of his work hours and how much time he puts in at the lab. Gonna throw out his poor excuse of a "sleep schedule" for now.
With Malikye with him, he always has something for breakfast even if it's just a little thing. Mal likes having a lil morning routine with Aurin bringing him breakfasts in bed or surprising him in the kitchen with stuff :] Lunch depends on how Aurin's feeling since his body gets weird if he's in a "normal schedule" of eating, but he'll still always have something.
And going back to what I said at the start, Aurin doesn't really have a favorite food for any time of the day because of everything previously mentioned. He just feels really happy whenever Malikye makes him something or puts in an effort to help him even make something on his own. Aurin's favorite things are whatever Mal makes.

Blog 1: Vertical Planting: Growing the future
In the beginning of the introduction to GEE16 I have learned the importance of knowing how Entrepreneurial Mind subject can influence each individuals in innovating ideas on how to start a business. It contribute significantly on innovation and seizing opportunities without regards for the resources currently controlled. We were informed by our instructor on this subject that we will be innovating a start-up business and we will get to interview some students at Central Mindanao University to know their point of pain so that we can propose a solution to help them and make a way for us to be able to earn from it.
We were tasked to interview eight (8) students individually to know their problems in staying here at CMU and these are what their problems (point of pain) are:
1. Internet connection is very slow.
2. The hot weather inside the classrooms.
3. Shortage of classrooms.
4. Long distance of market to colleges.
5. Expensive entrance fee at university pool.
6. No access to wifis inside the campus.
7. Less resources for purchasing books.
8. Expensive and stale vegetables at the market.
The first interviewee was Princess Funchica, she struggles with the internet connection in the campus as it affects her daily and academic life. Having a weak internet connection inside the campus can be very frustrating and challenging.
The second interviewee was Janine Sale, she complains the temparature inside the classrooms as it makes here easily get dizzy whenever the temperature rises.
The third interviewee was Kristine Ramo, she said that the shortage of classrooms is one of her struggles because she has to go to other colleges to attend to her class and some classrooms are inappropriate because it doesn't have a blackboard.
The fourth interviewee was Sebastian Butanas, his point of pain was the distance of the market to the colleges. Whenever he wants to eat or buy or have something to print at in the market, he struggles so much because he doesn't much money to pay for the motorcycle rela.
The fifth interviewee was Dashiel Lepez, he said that the entrance fee at the university pool was very expensive at he struggles because he lacks resources.
The sixth interviewee was Kristine Ramo, having no access to wifis inside the campus, she wished to have a free wifi inside their dorm.
The seventh interviewee is Seven Salga, she struggles with purchasing books because some of her instructors mandates them to buy but she doesn't have enough resources to purchase.
The eight interviewee is Eril Abellana, she often craves to vegetables and she loves planting but she doesn't want to buy veggies in the market because aside from the distance to her dorm it is already not fresh and very unpleasant to her liking.
During the team meeting, In attempting to solve the internet connection issue, the option we consider would be purchasing a peso wifi for faster internet connection but it would be very expensive if we provide each colleges a peso wifi and it would be hard and very time consuming to generate an income with that because peso wifi takes months for you to regain your equity, same providing a thrift store which was rejected for having a weak business model and its very common nowadays. In the end we decided to choose the point of pain: expensive and stale vegetables at the market. So we come up with the idea of inventing an aeroponic tower for vertical planting for those who want to plant for less expense and having insufficient land to plant.
Hypothesis: Implementing an aeroponic tower system for growing vegetables will result in faster growth rates, increased yield, and reduced water usage compared to traditional soil-based methods. That is proven by the result of the interview we conducted. The result showed that they will support vertical planting business for the reason that it helps efficient crop growth and saves land space and effort especially since most of our target market are home gardeners and students who lives in a boarding house. This hypothesis suggests that the use of the aeroponic tower system is expected to have certain benefits, such as faster plant growth, higher crop yields, and more efficient water utilization, as compared to conventional soil-based agriculture. This hypothesis can be tested through research and nutrition analysis to gather evidence and draw conclusions.
Throughout the process, I have learned that it is very important to discover the point of pain first in starting a business and also determine if your product would click to your target market. I admit GEE16 is probably one of the hardest minor subjects I have taken but through this, I can enhance my entrepreneurial skills even more especially this subject is very inclined to my course which is Business Administration. I hope I can acquire more knowledge in this subject to foster development as a student entrepreneur, so that I could apply this knowledge effectively in the real world.
