#He's my newest character but I always feel like i don't talk enough of them

[crazyk-imagine]

Hi, I was thinking Jacob Black x Reader. Where Jacob was waiting for Reader to come out of school till he heard commotion in front of the school and saw Reader fighting a bully who is a guy. She has a bruised lip and bleeding nose. Jacob hurriedly pick up Reader and take her to Emily’s so she can chill out and so Emily can patch her up. The pack saw her and they started asking questions till Emily started lecturing her.

Jealousy and Pack Scolding's

Pairing: Jacob Black x Uley!reader

Characters: Jacob Black, Uley!reader, Paul Lahote, Jared Cameron, Embry Call, Leah Clearwater, Seth Clearwater, Quil Ateara V, Brady Fuller, Collin Littlesea

Warnings: Angst, fluff, Paul being an idiot, Sam not liking the imprinting, this was actually kind of cute, I think I made Jake a likable character (for me), Emily is an angel, Sam and Emily are my fav, reader has avoided making eye contact with Jake bc she has a crush, Sam knows whats up, Embry just wants his imprint, Paul is such a big brother here, love writing for the wolfpack, it's so much fun, reader knows about imprints

Word Count: 2,431

A/N: Ask and you shall receive... this was fun and totally not inspired by Jake fics where he's a little jealous shit

I've aged probably everyone sooo, Sam is 26, Emily is 25. Leah is 23. Jared and Paul are 19 (in a nearby community college) and just one semester from graduating. Jake, Reader and Embry are 18. Quil, Seth, Brody are 17. Cam and Seth are 16

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

He kicks his bike stand up, so it stays upright while he waits for you to exit the school. He crosses his arms, not wanting anyone to talk to him, hoping he looks “menacing” enough for his classmates to get the hint and steer clear of him.

He knows Quil and Embry made their way back to Emily's since Sam wants them to do their patrol shift as soon as they can once they finished with their last class.

He couldn't complain much considering he was able to go home and change before heading back to pick you up so he could successfully switch shifts with Embry, which annoys him since Sam basically ordered him to pick you up.

He’d be more okay with it if you two were friends- or even talking; he doesn’t know why he was put to the job since you two aren’t close- or at least, compared to Jared and Paul.

Jake did recently find out (after complaining to the guys when their alpha wasn’t around) you’re Sam's niece and Emily has taken a light to you, thinking of you as her own daughter.

And the only reason he thinks that is because of how she treats you; it always reminds him of the way his mom took care of him and his sisters when they were younger.

Don't get him wrong, he has no problem with that or the way she treats you, he's more curious than anything since you haven't been talking to him.

It kind of bugs him that you talk to Paul and Jared more than him and isn't sure why. He gets the two shifted before everyone, but you've started talking to Embry and Quil so why not him too? Hell, you’ve even started making small talk with the newest shifters Brady and Collin.

He thinks this is why Sam sent him here, so he'll stop moping around about you and not just because the pack is tired of hearing how sad he is with you not talking to him.

The chanting, "fight, fight, fight," overtakes his sense in waiting for you and he steps closer.

He stops behind the wall of people, checking on who's fighting, curious as to who's stupid enough to fight on school property.

The fist flies to your face and he starts fighting his way to get past the people blocking him from getting to you.

You spit, not wanting the copper taste to remain in your mouth. You turn your head back to David, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of feeling like he won.

You kick his upper thigh, right above his knee and knock him down before pulling your arm back and drive your fist as hard as you can into his cheek.

He falls and cups his cheek, whining about the pain and the fact that he's bleeding.

"Talk about my family again and you'll be bleeding more."

Jacob finally breaks through the crowd and pushes David's friend away before the guy could grab you. "Back off," he growls.

The friend raises his hands in defense and backs away, noticing how buff he'd gotten and knows better to not fight Jacob.

He turns to you, smelling blood on you and cups your face, searching to find the damage, ignoring your eyes as the blood from your lip drips further down your chin. "Come on."

He puts you on the back of his bike and starts it before kicking the kickstand.

-

You unwrap your arms and get off the bike, trying to put distance between you, Jacob, and your home.

He grabs your wrist, "where do you think you're going?"

"Away."

"Just because you want to hide your face from Emily and Sam, doesn't mean you can run away."

"I can still try." You tug on his arm. "Let me go."

"No, you need to go in there and face them."

You stop fighting and he lets go of you, trusting that you won't leave. "I don't want Sam to be disappointed."

"Did you pick a fight with David on purpose?"

You shake your head, "of course not."

"Then he won't be disappointed... as long as you talk to him."

"Says the guy who fights him every chance he gets."

That earns a chuckle from Jake. "Says the mousy niece."

You scoff, shoving his arm. "Hey, I'm not mousy."

"This is the longest conversation we've ever had."

"That's your fault, you're always mopey."

"I am not."

"Are so."

"Am-"

-

You walk through the door.

Emily's voice interrupts yours and everyone else's conversations. "I'm happy to see the two of you are talking." She smiles with a twinkle shining in her eye that quickly dies as soon as she catches sight of your face.

"Oh my- what the hell happened to you?" She grabs your chin, tilting so she can look at your face. "Who did this?"

Paul tenses, Jared tries to see over her shoulder.

Embry and Quil walk through the back door and glance at one another with concern evident on their faces once they realize what’s happened.

"Don't tell, Sam," you reply, staring into her eyes, practically begging her not to tell him.

"Don't tell me what?"

You grimace and then wince because your adrenaline has worn off and the pain has surfaced. "How much I love you?" You say without turning.

"I don't buy it." He wraps an arm around Emily, pecking her cheek. "Did you cut your finger again?" He asks with the scent of blood wafting through the room.

"Uh-" She catches your eye as she glances down at her hands. "Maybe, I don't know."

You attempt to sneak away while he's distracted and fail.

"Turn around."

You pout, keeping your head low as you turn.

"Lift your head."

"I like staring at my shoes while they're clean."

He grumbles your name under his breath.

You lift your head and sigh. "I may have gotten into an altercation at school."

"What the hell happened?"

"That's what I was asking before you got here?" Emily chimes in.

"And I was avoiding it then."

"What did you do?"

You scoff, "I didn't do anything, you dick."

"That is no way to talk to your uncle," she tells you.

You stare at her, "I'm going to give him the same respect he gives me," and turn to him. "Which is none."

You exit the room when you realize none of you are going to be able to have a proper conversation and make your way to your room, slamming the door behind you.

-

"What happened while you were waiting for her?" Sam towers over Jacob, attempting to search through his mind to figure out what could have happened.

"I don't- I don't know. I was waiting and then I heard the other kids chanting, fight and then I saw her get hit and then take down David-"

"Wait- she was fighting David?" Jared chimes in with a smile.

"He deserves it," Paul adds.

"Guys a grade A asshole," Embry says before snacking on a muffin.

"So, this fight was valid?" Sam asks, wanting to understand everything he's learned within the last five minutes.

"No, it wasn't valid because fighting isn't the solution, is it boys?" Emily turns to the boys at the table.

"No," everyone answers.

"Good," she smiles.

"But this hasn't happened before? What's happened? This David- or whoever clearly said something for her to act out."

"He was talking about my family," you tell them, leaning against the wall with your arms crossed.

"That doesn't give you enough reason to fight," she tells you.

"It does when they start making fun of your dead parents and uncle who's running a cult."

They purse their lips.

"How do you feel?"

You shrug, "my fist and face are aching, so I'd say I did something right."

She sighs. "Fighting isn't the answer."

"I know that!"

"Then why did you do it?"

Your emotions cause you to snap. "I was tired of him thinking he could still bully me!"

She takes a few steps closer to you. "This has been going on for a while now. Why didn't you tell us?"

"I didn't want either of you to walk into the principal's office thinking you could stop it when it'd only make things worse," you grumble.

"We could have found another way to stop him from making comments."

"I took care of it the only way I could."

"There's always more than one way-"

"I know," you run your fingers through your hair in a frustrated manner. "I wasn't thinking but he wouldn't shut up. He waited a few months, giving me a grievance period but then he started talking shit again and today he wouldn't leave me alone."

"Why didn't you tell us?" Jared asks.

"Yeah," you scoff, "because I wanted you guys to help when the hothead is one fight away from being expelled. Everyone still thinks those two," you point to Embry and Quil. "Are weird because they suddenly got buff and had a haircut. Don't even mention the fact that Jake along with Brady and Collin are the new talk of the pack."

Sam sighs, rubbing a hand over his face. "Just, go clean the blood off as best you can, and Emily will wrap your wounds."

"I already did."

"Then go get the first aid kit and bring it in here."

You walk back into the bathroom throwing everything you’d laid out on the counter back into the bag and aim for the kitchen. "Heal me with your magical powers, Em."

She smiles and wraps an arm around your shoulders as she guides you to the island so she can use the natural light to check over you. "Does this hurt?"

"Not yet."

"Okay, let me know when it-"

You suck in a deep breath through your teeth.

"Hurts. You okay?"

"Peachy, Em."

"I know you had to defend yourself today, but fighting isn't always the answer."

"Yeah, I know," you reply with an attitude.

"I'm just reminding you, so you don't continue hurting yourself. You're not like the others, and I don't like seeing you get hurt."

"Thanks, Emily," you wrap your arms around her and pull her in for a long hug.

She smiles, returning the hug. "Don't go getting into fights again or else I'm going to bubble wrap you."

You chuckle. "As long as you save me from a Sam lecture."

"Deal." She slides the plate with muffins, closer to you. "Eat something first."

The guys shake their heads at your behavior.

"Does this mean I can hang out with you guys?"

"You hang out with us already," Jacob points out.

"Cliff diving." You unwrap your muffin.

"Absolutely not," your uncle tells you.

"Come on."

"No,” Sam shakes his head.

"Guys," you beg, turning around to look at the others.

"We're not getting involved in that," Paul raises his hands, heading towards the couch.

- Extra -

"Wha-"

"I'm with Paul," Embry tells you, pulling Quil with him as they sit beside Jared.

You turn to face your knight in shining armor. “Jake-”

He turns away from the others and glances back at you, the humor falling from his face.

“Oh, shit,” Jared mutters.

“Are you serious?” Embry whines.

You owlishly blink trying to figure out what’s happened when he falls to his knees. You set your muffin down and push yourself off the stool to stand in front of him. You poke his shoulder. “Are you okay?”

“It’s you,” he mutters.

You raise your head and face the others with a scared and confused expression. “Guys, what the hell just happened?”

Paul smirks and looks away.

Jared buries his face with a muffin.

Embry and Quil face the tv, not wanting to see how things plays out.

Brady and Collin walk through the door.

“Holy shit,” the former says.

“Congrats, Jake. You finally got your imprint,” the latter adds.

“What?” You spin around to face Emily. “Imprint? That’s what just happened?”

Sam rubs a hand over his face. This was the last thing they needed.

“Did we- did you not know?” Brady asks you.

“Does this look like the face of someone who’s in the know? Does it. Brady?”

Collin pulls his buddy away before you can rip their heads off.

“I think we need to talk,” Sam says, pulling Jacob off the ground. “Outside.”

You three stand on the porch, trying to wrap your heads around the whole situation.

-

“I don’t know what this means,” you tell them.

“This means, no being alone in your room. No sneaking out after curfew. No-”

“Sam, we’re not dating. This doesn’t apply to us.”

“It could,” he says, finally snapping out of his mind.

“What?”

“It- the imprint bond doesn’t happen by accident, it’s the joining of when two soulmates find each other.”

“So, we’re soulmates?”

He nods.

“I thought you were in love with Bella?”

“I was.”

“And now you’re not? You couldn’t have moved on that fast just because of this bond.”

He sighs, “I know this is going to be a lot of work, but I want to get to know you whether we go out or not… even though dating you-”

The clearing of someone’s throat cuts him off.

He sheepishly smiles, rubbing the back of his head. “We’ll talk more later.”

You can’t help but giggle and wince soon after.

He’s kneeling in front of you in seconds, searching for any sign of pain. “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. My lip is going to be the kill joy of my existence for a few days but I’m fine.” You place a hand on his shoulder, “thanks for pulling me out of there when you did.”

He shakes his head, “it was nothing.”

“It was more than you know, and I know you were only there because Uncle Sam made you, but I still wanted to thank you.”

He can’t help the wide smile that stretches across his lips. “I’ll always be there for you.”

-

Sam throws you over his shoulder. “Babe, where’s the extra wood I keep for the winter?”

“Back room, why?” She asks, watching as you beat on his back.

“I’m locking some doors.”

“Sam, no!” You screech. “Boys, help me.”

“He’s the alpha, what he says go,” Paul tells you.

“You suck, Lahote.”

“You’re gonna be swallowing, princess.”

Paul has never shifted and ran out of his alpha’s place as quickly as he did today.

The others lose their minds as he runs all around, nearly bumping into the clearwater siblings as they head towards the place.

I Assign Cosmere Characters A Random Animal As Their Pet

I'm using the random generator from this post. I've already created a list of Cosmere characters (it's just the main characters I always do, ha ha), and then I'll randomly assign them a pet and see how they fair! For the record, these results are not altered at all!

[For the purposes of this post, we're gonna pretend that any animal that comes up would make a good and ethical pet, okay? Please don't actually try to adopt a bear.]

1. Kaladin: A dromedary (a type of camel)

Kaladin: [stares at the camel] Camel: [stares at Kaladin] Kaladin: T-This is just a bigger, meaner horse! Kaladin: I can tell just from one glance into its eyes that that hump is full of SPITE Camel: [spits at Kaladin] Kaladin: I KNEW IT

2. Vin: A mustang (a type of horse)

Vin: Yes, yes, you think you're soooo pretty and fast, don't you? Vin: I'm faster, you know. Probably. With enough metal. Vin: So just don't you getting to big for your horse britches! Elend: Wow! What a beautiful horse! Vin: Don't you start!

3. Shallan: A monkey

Shallan: What a cute little monkey you are! Shallan: With the little outfit Adolin sewed for you, and the paintbrush I gave you! Shallan: A regular little monkey artist! Pattern: [buzzing] I keep telling you, Shallan, this creature wants to be like that one person I saw when you were looking for the herald! It wants to be paint with its p- Shallan (loudly): We'll just use regular paint, thank you!

4. Tress: A mandrill (largest monkey in the world)

Tress: Wow, you have such a pretty face, ma'am! Tress: And a large girl like you won't need to fear any mean ol' cat, will you! Charlie: I feel strangely inadequate. Tress: I-I didn't mean it that way!

5. Dalinar: A bear

Dalinar: You and I are a lot alike, bear. Dalinar: We are both large and intimidating, and we can hurt a lot of people if we get violent. Dalinar: ... Dalinar: Also, apparently Navani really likes to cuddle with both of us. Navani: He's soooo soft!

6. Painter: A bighorn (a type of sheep)

Painter: I like him. Painter: He's got a noble bearing. You can tell with those big horns and steely gaze, he's probably king of his herd or something. Painter: So please stop stacking chopsticks on his head. Yumi: Come on, he LOVES his chopstick-tower-hat! Bighorn: [making happy sheep noises] Painter: I-I just think his gravitas is taking a hit.

7. Leshwi: A burro (a type of donkey)

Lewshi: I'll admit, I was really hoping for an animal that could fly. Venli: Surely anything can fly if you lash it to the sky. Leshwi: I tried that. Leshwi: Apparently donkeys don't like to fly.

8. Adolin: A basilisk (a type of lizard)

Shallan: So...why the little cape on your lizard friend? Adolin: He runs across water! It's cool, but I thought it would look even cooler if he was wearing a cape while he did it! Shallan: Where do you find enough water for that? Adolin: Well...he's mostly been running across a bathtub. Shallan: Ah, so he REALLY needs the coolness factor of a cape... Adolin: Yeah, I think it'll really help his self-esteem.

9. Steris: A sheep

Wax: Hey Steris. Steris: Hello, Wax. Wax: I can't help but notice that where yesterday was one sheep, today there are fifteen sheep. Steris: I read that they feel better in herds! Wax: You always go all in--I love that about you. Wax: ... Steris: ... Wax: So we're sheep farmers now? Steris: A little bit, yeah.

10. Navani: A ferret

Sibling: NAVANI YOUR FERRET IS RUNNING THROUGH MY TUNNELS AGAIN Navani: It loves you! Sibling: IT'S LIKE THAT LIFT CHILD ALL OVER AGAIN

11. Siri: A budgerigar (bird)

12. Kelsier: A duckbill platypus (yes, really)

Kelsier: Everyone, meet the newest member of our team! Dockson: Uh...what is that? Vin: It looks like a bunch of different animals stuck together. Breeze: Rather unsightly, really. Ham: You, uh, doing okay, Kel? Kelsier: You're all such doubters. But watch what happens when I do THIS! [Puts a fedora on the platypus] Vin: ...Why do I suddenly feel like he's going to make a great spy? Kelsier: Trust me, this is gonna be great!

[pineconepie]

How would the Yanderes react to a reader havung ptsd over something traumatic that happened to them like for example yelling?

I answered it more like them accidentally triggering your trauma, but I hope this answer suffices!!

TW: PTSD, triggering trauma, purposefully triggering trauma, manipulation

.

Octavian is observant enough to notice what triggers your trauma. He'd avoid those subjects/topics the best he could, and would actually do a pretty good job of it.

If he accidentally triggered you in any way, he'd feel an overwhelming sense of guilt and frantically comfort you.

To show he's sorry, he'll give you small gifts and offer even more snuggles than usual.

.

Vincent gets a bit caught up in the moment when he's angry, so he'd probably not even realize he's triggering you until he calms down and notices you sobbing.

When he realizes his yelling made you hyperventilate or panic, his demeanor would flip like a light switch, becoming apologetic and offering cuddles and affectionate gestures to make amends. Sadly he'd probably accidentally trigger you many times, but you'll always get extra special treatment after.

And he'd even offer to get revenge on any of those who hurt his baby <3

.

Indigo would probably panic even more than you if he accidentally triggered your PTSD, because he won't even understand what's happening at first.

When he realizes, he'd be full-on crying and sobbing over it. He would be good at avoiding most if not all your triggers, but if it does happen, he'll be so distraught he'll be holding you, not even processing your words if you don't want to be held.

In fact, its a bit for his own comfort, as selfish as it is. It just breaks his heart so bad seeing his little one that distressed.

.

Magnus would act calm on the outside, but on the inside he's freaking out.

He wouldn't understand how anything he says or does could be triggering for his precious hatchling, so he'd need some extra help understanding.

But in that moment, he'd treat you as if you were sick--swaddling you in furs, giving you extra food and cuddles, talking more gently to you. Sadly, he'd also be accidentally triggering you often.

.

Seradiel is actually a pro at figuring out exactly what would trigger you and your trauma, and therefore, avoids it. Even so, sometimes life throws a curveball, and something may happen.

When that happens, he's learned exactly what you need, and will be very quick to help you. He'll give you your favorite stuffie to hold, talk gently to you and ground you, and would refuse to leave you in this state.

Only once he's sure you're calm, he'll hold you and his coddling would go up by 1000%.

.

Warren...yeah, its no shocker he's the worst. You'd think the doctor would be best at handling this, right?

Well, he knows HOW to handle it. But he's still a bastard. He'd use it as a method to make you view him as your dad even more. He'd purposefully trigger your trauma just so he can comfort you after.

He wants to be the one to console you, hold you tight, and remind you that he's there for you. He's such a caring papa, isn't he? No one else would be able to care for you like he can :)

.

I didn't add my newest OC (Blair) because I'm going to make a series 2. Each will contain 6 characters for questions like these, so you can specify which series you'd like me to answer the question on, and if no specification is given, I'll just assume its these 6.

[dock57]

[Another day, another Monkey Wrench ramble! Decided to go back to EP 2 again this time. Despite being one of the shorter episodes, it has some of my favorite moments between Shrike and Beebs.

Anyway, the thing I want to talk about today is the some of the world building to the Monkey Wrench universe. In general, Monkey Wrench has such an awesome world building to it. Its very open, but has some rules and expectations it follows.

One of my favorite things about this world? The idea of every Alien having a translator. Its such a simple thing to include, but when you start digging into it- it can say a bit about the character.

It took a few rewatches, but the idea that you can have a translator either internal or external? I just thought that was such a cool idea. I think most sci-fi concepts when it comes to different languages, either they already know and understand the alien, there is no language barrier, or if there is a translator, its usually another device or someone else doing it.

The idea that everyone has one, either internal or external, its such a simple but clever idea for not needing to fuss over the issue about language differences. Besides, where a galaxy has different languages, could be hundreds- thousands? Trying to learn them all would. Take more than a lifetime...

How nice would it be to just have one install and do all the hard work for you? I especially love the idea of just having an internal one installed- so you would not have to worry about it being damaged from the outside, or well, being in the way? Like when looking at Beebs, his translator is large. A nice size of equipment to keep maintained and not as compacted. Like think about how small computers can be compared to their first designs? Smaller and more compact always feel so much more manageable.

As I said before, I think even translator and what a character has can say about a character too. Especially this scene from EP 2. Beeb's personality and overall design, has this impression that Beebs' is well, a much simpler type of guy. He does not seem like the type to update anything unless, it really comes to the point it might need to be replaced. His translator and cybernetic arm are examples of this, why fix something if its not broke?

I also find that translators can tell about someone's wealth as well. As I believe that internal models are more expensive than external ones. It could be possible that Beebs' has an older model as well, but as Shrike also mentions, Beebs was also stingy getting a new one, which once again, adds to how Beebs tends to hold onto materials until broken, plus, coming off as a more simple guy- I don't believe Beebs enjoys complicated tech. He even has his acoustic guitar, free from technology itself to keep it simple and free from having difficult technical problems, unlike the Bucket itself or his cybernetic arm. Being stingy can also suggest that Beebs is looking out for his savings. As that not wanting to upgrade or wanting a internal translator to save on pixels. Although translators seems like to be a pretty important thing to have in this world, as it seems like everyone does have one, even when it comes to purchasing one, you also need to think what is affordable and works best for you. In Beebs' eyes, you don't need the newest one to have this function, just one to do its job which is enough.

I see in this world, that Translators can be use as a sign of wealth, where internal are more expensive and external ones are not. As for Shrike, who is definitely not a wealthy Alien by no means... He may have made the decision to get an internal one as a possible poor financial decision, as Shrike is clearly not responsible when it comes to money. He may have one to just have it and follow the trend of others- or he may have got his from L.A.W. as well as it could have been a requirement for L.A.W. members to have one, or a benefit of being a L.A.W. officer.

Whatever the case with Translators in this world, it is definitely has been something I been noticing more and more on characters in the show, major, minor or even background characters. The more I keep watching Monkey Wrench, the more I pick up on the world build and the little pieces, such as the translator, to build how its universe's function.]

[writingforatwistedworld]

oooo ok ok ok

so what bout a platonic deuce, epel, and lilia with a gn reader that kinda talks out loud to themselves when they play?

like they say how much they want to be this character's brother, or how they bet this character would be a good parental figure, etc. or even when another character says/does something they don't like they kinda just, voice their opinion on it?

just their reaction to reader talking out loud/voicing their thoughts lmao srry if this doesn't make sense

Self-aware au

I do not take any responsibility for you reading this no matter which age group you are from!

WARNINGS: Yandere themes, violence, description of violence, obsessive themes, religion, war (if you squint)

Deuce Spade/Epel Felmier/Lilia Vanrouge-Player voicing their thoughts whilst playing (PLATONIC!)

Deuce is a calm guy, they said. Deuce is a chill guy, they said

Well whoever they are haven't seen him when you are around, behind the screen or not

This guy is just happy that you confide in him enough that you voice your thoughts to him

Don't mention that you are just on venting-you-thoughts mode when you play… Like seriously, don't.

He is always more than happy to listen whenever you are talking.

Could be about how much you like his newest card design but could also be about what you want for dinner. Idk? I would recommend something light like banana muffins with blueberries. It's very tasty. Trust me.

If you could see through the coding he would be like “Oh really.” and “You don't say.” or “What? Really?”

What I am trying to say is that he is probably more engaged in this “conversation than most would be

If some poor NPC “interrupts” (aka not heating what he is hearing and starting to talk) he will show them how fragile the ordinary human nose is. In other words, fist meet face. Nose make crack. NPC is screaming.

But on another note, should you voice wishing to be a family member of his, say for example his sibling, he would be over the moon

He is in lalaland, imagining how he and his younger siblings would enjoy their free time together. Heck, probably taking care of some chicks

Oh, and what if you were his older sibling? Like, wow, you would be such a cool role model! You probably wouldn't be a thug like him so that makes you even… cooler (?) in his eyes

Dude over here is having such a great time imagining being your sibling he is low-key looking like he ascended

But then he starts to imagine the darker sides of life

Like how his younger sibling could be bullied in school whilst he is stuck on this island

Or even worse if you are the older one of you two, you might start dating!

I don't know if it is funny or sad that he is feeling a sensation of loss over a sibling he never had

Like bro, chill. Don't beat up that student that looks similar to the imaginary partner you just made up in your mind. They can't be held accountable for your min-OH NO DON… Didn't he want to stop with this?

Epel is literally frothing at his mouth when he hears your innermost thoughts

Now now, I know this is creepy (like wtf get yourself together man) but I promise he is totally normal (who am I kidding he looks like he has rabies) and is also a totally chill guy (is it obvious that I am lying?)

Religious indoctrination or whatnot

Imagine, you are already isolated in a village filled with religious zealots, always hearing how great that person (you) is

And then they spill everything on their mind to you

Give him a day or two and he will be back to normal… if we ignore that poor student in the corner

Like man, you noted one single time how much you liked this NPCs design and the next thing he knows he is seeing red

It's kinda like seeing your favorite family member favoring that one annoying cousin who is related to you over five corners

Has a notebook and writes everything he deems important down… which is a lot to be fair (but let the guy have his weird hobby, ok?)

But then you mention how you wish you were a family member of his and oh my god I think he is this close to breaking the fourth wall for real this time

This hits home to him

Remember how I told you about his village's eight lines higher than this one? Yeah.

There had been others his age but they were little to none and his village is in the middle of nowhere so…

But we also know how much he loves his grandma so it is a given that he would cherish you as well

Also, his god saying that they would want to be related to him. Ugh. He is honored so much that it is disgusting

But I could see this isolation and certain closeness you only get with a sibling also being not so good for you

What if you like the other villagers your age more than him? What if his girly appearance drives you away from him? (Bro u probably more dangerous with those looks than without them bc no one expects you to be able to throw hands but go on)

This leads to more and more self-doubts until he more or less bursts and just turns into someone no one wants to be around because of how aggressive he is

Thank god for the fourth wall or else you wouldn't see him like his old, not-so-destructive self anymore

Lilia is… something

His interest in you isn't purely romantic. It started out as something more like him holding onto something so he wouldn't go mad during “those days” *add fire noises and screaming in the background*

So it's more of a “I BETTER BELIEVE IN SOMETHING OR ELSE I MIGHT LOOSE MY MIND” than “Omg I am such a good follower te-he” situation

Little to no one has had access to the Overseer's thoughts and he is just randomly hearing them whilst thinking about what to make for dinner

Like Epel, he is pretty intense when it comes to you. Difference is that Epels “interest” in you stems from a place of… let's say religious views and Lilias from “those days” *fire noises and screaming in the background intensifies*

But unlike the guy who more or less shares his height and is a cotton candy version of himself concerning their hair he doesn't write down your thoughts

Oh no

This guy listens to it like he is hearing the world's greatest opera singer perform live in front of him

Thank goodness no one other than the other Diasomnia students mention your ramblings or else there would be heads flying

What? Can't a guy hope to have some special link to his deity? God, you all are so cold. Can't you even try to see his perspective? (I am joking please don't do what he does your reaction is totally valid)

But then you once mentioned how much you want to be part of his little family and whoops- there went his sanity

What if he had adopted you and Silver at the same time?

Wouldn't that be the cutest?

Sebek is almost screaming when he suddenly hears *ahem* LILIA-SAMA cooing at nothing out of nowhere

You two would be so cute growing up together and he would be the one honored to be this close to some kind of reincarnation of his God

But- but what if he was the only one knowing who you truly were? The other Faes (Malleus and Sebek being the exceptions) can't hear you so what if… what if you were also seen as some sort of weird outsider like Silver?

Don't get him wrong, the Faes have never shown hostility to his son but there was always that certain distance, Sebek and his family being one of the few accepting the young silver-haired knight as he was

Suddenly Lilia feels a certain kind of rage bubbling up to the surface like he hadn't felt in a long time

Silver… uh… you better hide that meatclea- *coughcough* I mean, legendary sword from your father

can i request a fluffy fic with dom and a celebrity reader with his younger sister ILY🤍

i love you baby thank you for the request!!

x

"apple, show them your fit. you're gonna eat them all up. you know your mama be killin' it." you take the young girl's hand and give her a little twirl in the camera. you have been on live for the past fifteen minutes with dom and his sister in their kitchen, just for some entertainment and to catch up with the fans.

"my mom? i dress myself." apple looks you up and down and in shock all you do is raise your hands in surrender.

"my bad." you laugh, resting your back against the kitchen, letting the girl entertain the audience as she pleased, just keeping an eye on her.

you just posted your trailer for your newest movie on your instagram and the reception was actually better than you expected for it being so out of your usual work. you were usually typecasted as a more naive character but this project was anything but, playing a blunt and adventurous badass. ecstatic might be too light of a word for what you were feeling. you couldn't wait for this to come out. and dom was all for it. he might even be more ecstatic than you with the way he supported you so publicly and proudly.

dom was out of the camera's view, just scrolling on his phone. you and him had answered some questions earlier so you didn't mind, you know he wasn't on social media much these days. apple, on the other hand, was soaking up the attention. the little one was all up close to the tripod, reading nearly all the comments and talking to them.

"stop telling dom to take his shirt off." apollonia sassed, making you laugh, your head tipping back. dom smiled, looking up from his phone and poking his head into the camera, curls spilling everywhere.

"it's okay, apple. my sex appeal is part of my charm." he shakes his head, fixing his curls and smoldering into the lens. you shake your head, grabbing him and pulling him to you, wrapping your arms around him.

"okay, that's enough." you laugh, kissing his cheek and he drapes his self onto you, making sure he doesn't place all his weight on you. he's gained at least twenty pounds in muscle in record time. he's still lanky but you don't think the wind could blow him away anymore.

you rub his bicep comfortingly, just checking him and making sure he's okay. you know his social battery can need recharging when you do things like this. you would consider yourself a little more well-known than him in the public eye, not able to go out without security or a disguise. he was getting there in status but he could still run to the store and not be recognized if he was careful enough. so you always make sure he's not getting too overwhelmed or anxious. nodding, he lets you know he's okay, burying his head in your neck. you rub his back and kiss the top of his head, just holding him for the moment.

"someone asked how dom feels about y/n's love interest in the new movie." apple looks back at you guys, used to you guys being so touchy to the point where it doesn't phase her anymore. you just smirk and shake your head, knowing the comments are just trying to rile up dominic.

dominic picks his head up, "i let bro know i been in the gym. that's all i have to say." and drops his head again.

you roll your eyes.

Finally am confident enough to post my redesign of Charlie. Buckle up cause it’s a lot!

Kept her simple since I think her original design is kinda alright, but went with the doll aesthetic more.

Made her design simple enough for it to stand out in most any environment within Hell. Should probably have made a colored version for her, but I'm keeping the white and pink from her original design, but making her outfit yellow to compliment the reds of Hell and the blues of Heaven.

Here’s the newest design although I'm still fiddling around with different variations for the marks on her face, shown later in this post. Might lean towards stop motion look with how the mouths of the characters are always a separate segment from the face.

Eventually she goes from bellhop to more of a concierge roll as she gains more confidence in running the hotel, and eventually becomes the defacto ruler of Purgatory.

More on that later.

Also lil Lucifer resign too. Might make a whole post about him, but the basics are that I decided to go more “biblically accurate” angel for him.

He made Charlie's body, with Lilith drawing up the design for what she would look like. Overtime Charlie got to choose what she wanted to look like. She has accrued many bodies over her thousands of years of living.

Their relationship is close as although they don't see each other in person as often, Charlie always makes time to have at least one phone call a week with her dad. Especially with his worsening depression.

He doesn't fully believe in the hotel idea, but he’s willing to support his daughter anyway he can. Although he is hesitant when she requests to have an audience with Heaven as he knows how fickle they can be.

Especially when her first meeting with an angel is spent talking about rock bands.

I also changed up what Charlie is as not only is she a doll, but she is also the manifestation of “free will.” Spawned from Lilith and Lucifer’s union being an action that goes against "god's plan."

Although she barely remembers it, her actions caused Adam and Eve to eat the apple. She partially made the hotel out of guilt for condemning humanity, feeling as though she has to make it up to the sinners she condemned.

This makes her super hesitant to push the patrons to get help as although she knows that it'll help them in the long run it must fully be by their own free will to want to change. This hesitance also leads her to not fully interfere in their afterlives either, even when she knows a push is all they'll need.

She is able to literally be anyone or anything, and she is scared of this fact. Kinda getting decision paralysis. Also being that she is a being made out of pure energy this essentially means she's a bomb.

This is the result of what happens to her once her form is broken.

These are the old designs, went with a more streamlined look later.

Heavily inspired by the final form of the Princess from Slay the Princess. A game I highly recommend!

When in her "chimera form" she accidentally kills Adam, leading her to take him on as a guest at her hotel. It also leads her to convince Heaven and Hell to use Mount Purgatorio for her new liminal hotel. Kinda using Adam as a bargaining chip to show heaven that if angels can fall, then that doesn't mean sinners can't climb up the mountain to Heaven.

Overtime, with more horror influences I kept adding into her character and design I accidentally just made her into a creepy doll with some analog influences.

(It's almost like my subconscious is trying to tell me something 🤔)

Vaggie and her scary gf.

Decided to go for a more psychological route for Charlie’s abilities and personality. On the surface appearing normal, but still standing out in most environments because of her simplicity. That there's just something about her that doesn't quite fit anywhere.

Her character finally clicked for me after watching Paranoia Agent. She's not really based off any characters from the show, but some of the themes and imagery are baked into her character.

Along with the banger opening.

Eventually she builds her hotel in purgatory, and essentially becomes its ruler. Much to the chagrin of Heaven, who still only sees her as a demon. Even though she was technically born in the heavens.

Even though Charlie uses Adam as a bargaining chip they don't really care that he fell. But they don't want to be proven wrong either, so they reluctantly agree to the idea.

Also lil bonus of Charlie and Vaggie in nightwear. Gotta make another post for Vaggie, but I’m still working some things out with her story and character.

I apologize if so much of this post made no sense. I didn't realize how much I had written for Charlie. Although makes sense as she is supposed to be the main character.

I am happy to answer questions if y'all want more clarification.

[mari-lair]

your posts about this newest chapter are so real because it disappointed me so much.

It was way too lighthearted and just seemed like a huge joke. I was expecting the trial to have suspense where you can really feel for the characters and wonder what will happen next, but it just ended up being comedic. It was funny, I’ll give it that, but I really really wanted some angst.

This may just be me, but Teru felt so out of canon to me. I can understand him putting on that “flawless student council” mask but it feels odd considering he is around mostly supernaturals. He is shown to be very intelligent and considering he is an exorcist and they are school mysteries why tf would that “look at how beautiful I am I could never” argument work. It was funny, sure, but just seemed out of canon for him.

Akane felt a little out of canon too to me? Probably not but he seemed to fully accept his role as a judge with little to no guilt at all. We don’t really get him looking guiltily at Teru or feeling frustrated, he’s just kind of there. Probably because (as always) the story focused on Hanako, Yashiro, and Tsukasa.

NOW UGHH TSUKASA IS SO FAVORITED ITS PAINFUL. You’re telling me after all that suspense around the clock keepers he takes them out in TWO PANELS. The clock keepers seem like a fucking joke in this chapter instead of the powerful mysterious beings they have shown to be previously.

Overall I expected something much more satisfying and I hope next chapter will be a little better because the last chapter got me so excited for nothing.

just my opinion though, I know some people enjoyed this chapter and that’s totally ok! just not my personal favorite

That's a mood ya-rr-ow. Big mood.

Many people enjoyed the chapter, and I'm happy for them, but I was also majorly disappointed so I'll talk about what you mentioned here and add some other things.

(I will just focus on the negatives here so if you're feeling hyped about the chapter. I am sorry, I wouldn't recommend reading this)

Okay let's go

Chapter 108 went out of its way to create a tense atmosphere, it was mostly a set up and hype piece for the trial.

Mirai was a beast, but Akane was the one that really set up the tone. He had the power to make Teru harmless, which only hyped up the other clock keepers since he is the lowest ranking keeper. Mirai and Kako's supposed power was said to be dangerous enough to make Akane, who hates supernaturals and is so firm in his beliefs, feel cornered, switch sides to 'do his duties', his vague words hinting that there is more to this trial than it seems on the surface.

So I don't think we were being delusional to expect this trial to be dramatic. To have angst. Or at least, character dept. To be important.

But despite the trial being the title, the spotlight, we got none of it: Not only is the trial treated as a joke, which I already don't vibe with considering how tense the atmosphere in chapter 108 is. It is an empty joke.

It doesn't teach us anything about the characters, it doesn't give any new information. Nothing.

Hanako's trial was a gag. He isn't even my priority character, but considering how he have the title of 'leader of the mysteries' and had been put on trial before for the Yorishiro's destruction, it is a baffling choice to make Kako not mention this big BIG crime when judging him.

Nene's trial 'revealed' she likes Hanako and want to confess to him. Which she has been doing this whole manga.

We could talk about her time crimes (every time travel that made her meet Amane), try to bargain her lifespan since this is the main conflict in the story and they are talking to the keepers of time. They could talk about her crime of helping to destroy the yorishiros with Hanako, or just acknowledge she is still a threat since she is the Kannagi, the only one capable of ripping their yorishiro in the first place. But no, those are stupid, let's spend 4 full pages of a monthly manga to tease a confession she already did in the very previous chapter.

Teru revealed he has some craving for destruction on him. Which surprise, surprise! It also isn't new information! How nice!

( I talked about his love for the idea of destruction and how it's almost an escapism recently, here you go if you're curious)

About Teru and Akane's acting weird. That's not them being ooc, that's Aidairo making a narrative choice to not take anything serious, including his own characters. Everyone is acting like themselves, and nothing contradicts what has been established about their personalities, but their competence has been drastically downgraded to move the plot quickly.

Teru has the bad habit of becoming pathetic when he has strong feelings, like locking himself in his room and hiding under the covers after his fight with Kou, immediately hitting Akane's stab wound when he is too late to rescue aoi cause the situation stressed him. So it is in character that he wants to kill Akane, who has always been his stress relief.

However, because Teru takes things so personally, and it was stablished in chapter 108 that Teru is way more bothered by Akane's betrayal than being in a court of law, it makes no sense that he treat it as a normal court instead of using his very obvious alibi that he couldn't destroy the clock because he was with Akane. Teru doesn't turn this court into the confrontation that would bring attention to their split up, doesn't go "Are you doing to deny my alibi now?? betray me again??" or question "So? We are here! Why did it had to be now??" or anything that builds up on the last chapter to expand it.

Cause Aidairo decided the court doesn't matter. The build up doesn't matter. Once more, the consequences are an afterthought. We don't need the answers to anything.

Akane is still guilty, he can't look at Teru in the eye, can't defend him, but he goes "!!!" when Teru finally calls for him, paying full attention.

But this is comedic. And as i mentioned above, Teru doesn't say anything useful, anything with more depth than what we already know: that he is angry by Akane's betrayal and hasn't forgiven him.

We TRULY are given nothing in this trial.

Which is insane, cause even the promo art had details to build intrigue, a vague idea that while the chapter would be comedic in nature, it would explain more about the clock keepers, or at least expand on their boundaries.

Like, what are those numbers on the scale? will they be judged by year? Will a lie make their time be stolen? oooh what could it be! Can't wait for the chapter!

And the chapter comes, and there is nothing. The whole trial feels like filler. They treated the audience as a fool for being excited.

That's why this big twist at the end? I don't care.

As you said Tsukasa is overpowered, they are Aidairo's golden child. And they will break established lore rules and make a joke out of everyone else just cause he can.

It's not just Teru and Akane who were nerfed to make the plot move faster, not allowed to have any proper focus. The clock keepers were also a joke, acting 'in character' but more incompetent than they have been stablished to be.

Tsukasa op moment doesn't make me go "wow he is so cool" it made me look at the clock keepers and go "You are all are stupid"

Cause Tsukasa has the judgment seal?? And he was already sentenced as guilty??? There are three clock keepers in the room too? So why not... you know... restrict him again...?

The clock keepers is a school rumor that was introduced all the way back in chapter 23. Like you said they are supposed to be super op! They are a mystery so hyped up that just Mirai's power (who isn't the strongest keeper) can throw the intire school into chaos in the Near Shore, where supernaturals are debuffed.

Even before Tsukasa attacked he made the clock keepers act incompetent, to make him look more mysterious and cool in comparison.

These very old and supposedly op school mysteries know Yugi Amane is Hanako, but they don't know who Amane's twin brother 'Tsukasa' is, they also don't refer to him as a yorishiro despite the seal being in his face, and use titles for every other character (Leader of the school mysteries. Kannagi. Student Body Representative)

Which might look like a small thing, silly nitpick, but it shows the favoritism isn't just for a twist. Aidairo naturally likes Tsukasa more than his own narrative, and is willing to make others be less competent for the sake of it.

I don't think Kako will die. That would objectively be bad writing at this point. He'll probably be back in the next chap, a la "teru got fucked up by No.6" and "Akane got stabbed by Aoi but he lives bitch" or even "i always had a ton of clones, like Mei of the art room" but it is still disappointing to see him and Mirai get fucked up in their own boundary after all the hype they have accumulated through the story.

There is a hint Akane can be a yorishiro at the end of the chapter, and that is cool, genuinely really cool, but I am tired of getting excited over possibilities and 'promises for the future'. I want something concrete.

Speaking of which, I don't think Akane will die. This is just another bait to keep reading like when No.6 slashed Teru, Kou, and Akane and we didn't get any answers for a few months before 'oh well nothing happened :) no consequences to be had here folks!'

"But Tsukasa has always killed everyone that he pulled the heart of! there is Mitsuba, and The puffer fish of the mermaid, and the previous No.3 (the bird)" And to that I say I trust Akane's ability to say fuck to fate.

My boy gets new death flags every year, he collects them like pokemon cards, you all should have gotten used to it.

He also survived his bae stabbing him, this isn't new. Sucks to be Tsukasa and die by a stab in the gut and all but Akane is built differently (quite literally with two bodies).

He is also in his own boundary, so if Aoi doesn't kill him while in the territory of another mystery, but he dies in No.1's boundary I will... idk probably just sigh.

In short, Aidairo treated this as joke, so I will treat their cliffhanger as one too. Give me reasons to care in chapter 110. Cause at the moment? I don't.

I swear to god I do like Danganronpa - Part One Maybe

[unmarked spoilers for all three mainline Danganronpa games, be forewarned!] I'm seeing so much nice Danganronpa stuff that I feel bad that the only thing I've mentioned about it is stuff I hated in the newest game, so I wanna instead talk about the stuff I liked from the games, which would be the characters themselves. I can't focus on all of them due to not having finished the anime or UDG (you can probably guess why with the latter), but the writers have such a cruel (in a good way) habit of writing these characters either in a way that makes you love them, or to the point where you're actively hoping for their death. Or, in one of my favourite character's cases, going from the latter to the former. The ultimate asshole himself, Byakuya Togami. Honestly Toko? I fucking *get it.* It turns out there's something about a character like that slowly turning from an unlikeable douche to someone who's been humbled somewhat, but is still full of himself enough to pull his shit together and still stay somewhat authoritative (despite how much he delegates shit to Naegi) that gets me hanging on every douchey line of his.

Speaking of Toko, a reference to OG Dragon Ball? In MY Danganronpa? It's more likely than you think, although I only read through Dragon Ball last year so I had no idea who L(a)unch was at the time, but I digress. It's always worth noting that each Danganronpa has had a player in it that's killed before, Jill being the only (kinda, if you ignore Mukuro who died immediately and Junko herself given she's more of a mastermind than a player) one in the first game, though she only really serves as the template for Korekiyo, as the killer(s) in SDR2 weren't so much serial as they were... uh... not-serial. I dunno, I'm not exactly elegant here. Korekiyo is a pale imitator though, mostly because we see him actually succumb to his serial killer urges, which is such a Virgin Korekiyo move as opposed to the Chad Genocide Jill. Which is ironic because considering his relationship with his sister... man what is it with V3 and incest? Again I digress but to be fair I DID just finish V3 today.

But anyway, having a character like that in a murder-mystery is always necessary, because it's important for not only the characters in the game to have a reasonable initial suspect, but also for the player themselves to constantly be questioning whether the character actually DID do this one, despite not having done the other ones, which is another reason I felt Korekiyo was a little lacking in that department, his serial-killer-i-ness didn't really end up being revealed until AFTER he'd already like... killed two people. I already knew he did it, the question was why he did it twice, and the answer was sorta lame. Wait shit this was supposed to be positive, I swear I like him in general as a character, the serial killer aspect was just forced in my opinion... which if you think about it, was probably intentional due to the whole crux of how the Danganronpa characters are "written" in-universe. If it's in-universe fictional incest, does that make it more or less weird? his sister didn't actually exist, I guess, so is it less weird because it didn't happen or more weird because someone on the Team Danganronpa writing staff came up with that idea for Korekiyo's story? Who's the writer putting their fetish into the Danganronpa contestants? I'm definitely overthinking this.

...

With no easy segue here, let's go from a character that died quickly to a character I wish had died quicker than he had, the Ultimate Brat, Kokichi Oma.

I hate so much that I know if I were younger I'd be into him so much.

Much like Toko/Jill and Nagito (who, don't worry, we'll get to), Kokichi is made to stir the pot, but my god he does it so much better/worse than the others, to the point where it wasn't even "oh wow this character is evil but at least they're fun", it went to "oh my god can someone actually kill this guy please?" Thanks Kaito, by the way. I understand why Kokichi is the way he is, and the picture painted of him after his death makes it a lot sadder in hindsight, as you learn that he wasn't even part of the big bad Remnants of Despair, he was just an orphan kid with a group of fellow orphans (if the D.I.C.E reference is in fact a reference to some obscure anime like the DR Wiki says) going around causing mischief and, I think, stealing things. He was, in essence, Carmen Sandiego, and no one can hate her. But at the same time, the dude killed my man Gonta, and got away with it by making Gonta kill someone else. I get that a lot of the characters had a point where they were willing to sacrifice their friends to try and end the Killing Game, but there's lying when you know your friends will latch onto the lie and work with you like Maki did, and then there's manipulating someone who barely knows not to trust you into sacrificing his own life for your cause. Granted, maybe that takes some of Gonta's autonomy away in that scenario, but Gonta's entire personality was trying to be the best person he could be, and everyone in the school was well aware of how that could be used to his detriment, and all it would require is a suggestion of what the right thing to do would be... much like the suggestion that everyone should be made to love bugs in an insect meet and greet. Kokichi is one of those characters where, whether I like him or not I'm on the fence about, but it is undeniable that the game would not be the same without him.

And finally (for now, I may do more of these if the mood takes me) because holy shit it's 2AM, let's go for the guy I mentioned earlier, the twisted mirror-image of DR1's protagonist in the form of Nagito Komaeda.

HEY DID YOU KNOW HIS NAME IS AN ANAGRAM OF I AM MAKOTO NAEGI-

Okay that's enough of that google-level trivia.

I love to hate Nagito, he's such an adorable bastard. He actively tries to kill people, screw them over or just say weird shit about hope to them, but at the same time he looked so cute and goofy tied up in chapter 2 that it's hard for me to hate him. I guess the describer people would use is Affably Evil, where he's clearly villainous, but you just can't help but smile when he goes off on some wild tangent about hope. You go, girl.

Plus, the dynamic shift in the later chapter as he discovers the identity of the students, and subsequently seeks to take the traitor down in the most cockamamie scheme since something Wile E. Coyote would try on the Road Runner, and due to his Ultimate Ass-Pull talent, it actually fuckin' works? I think SDR2's Trial 5 is one of the most interesting in all of the games as a result of all this stuff coming together, especially because, as Nagito says, Ultimate Luck is kinda fuckin' useless if you're not actively in a casino at all times, so the set-up for his own murder went beyond just luck, it took planning to specifically rely on luck at a crucial moment, one where the chance of what he needed to have happen was infinitesimal, which maybe isn't that interesting when all is said and done because I'm sure a lot of murders rely on luck, but like I said, it's definitely one of the most interesting trials in all three games because of it.

Nagito, I'm glad you're not really dead, but I'm also sad you never really existed in the first place. Also I'm glad you died.

Okay that's it for this post, if you like Danganronpa maybe don't read my rant about V3 I posted because like... I wasn't kind to it. Or maybe do read it if you agree with me! P.S. Chihiro was probably one of my many trans egg-tap moments.

[whyawonderwhatudo]

Okay so I HAVE to talk about the newest ep of Helluva boss, Full Moon.

Spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

I really loved the episode but damn did that last scene hurt! Going into the ep I kinda had the idea that the whole episode would feature around stolas and blitzø, so you can imagine my surprise when we saw the Cherubs!

Ngl, they always seemed holier than thou (pun intended) but its so interesting to me to see how 2 of the cherubs would justify their 'sins' and want for revenge, when angels are all supposed to be about love and forgiveness. Kinda hope Colin has some kind of redemption, the other 2 cherubs treated him awfully.

Loved how badass Luna was this episode tho! Was so worried they'd actually attack Blitzø only for Luna and M&M's to beat them back to the human world.

Also we love Fizz and Blitz' friendship!!

Okay but that whole conversation between Blitzø and Stolas was heartbreaking. It was so clear how apprehensive Stolas was while waiting, twiddling his thumbs and sitting on the bed, and he's been prepping himself for this talk all day.

And so has Blitzø, but he's come with the expectation of their transaction, and added with the addition of what Luna had said about him getting bored and no longer wanting to continue, of course he's scared when Stolas asks for the book back.

Stolas was so determined to make sure Blitzø understood how he felt, no longer wanting to make Blitzø feel obligated to sleep with him to get something out of it when he said 'Please don't say it like that.' Stolas probably felt this was the right choice more than ever when Blitzø said he'd do anything. And then look how sweet stolas looked when he was giving him the crystal.

This made me so sad because Stolas was so clear, in his feelings and intentions. Even with the crystal, Blitzø asked whether he wasn't good enough anymore or not, showing he does care. He was looking forward to his night with stolas, having preparing for it and doing a whole shopping trip. They both care, but because Blitzø could never believe Stolas actually loved him, he thought Stolas was joking.

It was so hard to watch when Blitzø started to mess around, thinking it was some kind of role play saying 'I love you' and all that, you could see the hurt on Stolas' face.

To be fair to Blitzø, he did need a moment to comprehend it was an actual confession, to truly see Stolas' feelings because it was such a contradiction to what he thought, but Stolas was so clear, of course he would take the joking as rejection, as Blitzø couldn't understand what he was really saying, until it was too late.

We can understand why Blitzø may have lashed out, thinking the way he does, but his words, his name calling of Stolas was so heartbreaking, you could hear Stolas' Heart and hope shatter when he said 'I think so highly of you Blitzø. I had no idea you thought so low of me.'

The miscommunication....

It's only after he can hear Stolas crying does Blitzø really get the memmo, he sees how he's messed up, but of course Stolas was so hurt, he wouldn't want to see Blitzø after that.

This was just so in character for them, to me at least. Stolas said everything right, but Blitzø took too long to understand his emotions, he lashed out and only after he lashed out did he understand what he did. By that point it was too late and Stolas sent him away....

I knew this breakup was coming, but I did NOT think it would hurt this much. Poor stolas..

Thanks for reading my ramblings lol, feel free to add to this with your own thoughts and opinions!

Febuwhump Day 2 - Pick who dies

context: Doctor Who, 11th Doctor, Doctor vs. Master tags: they/them for Master, fucking hell this is darker than I anticipated lol, doctor is kinda ooc bc have you ever tried to write the doctor in character?!, also for some reason I fancast Andrew Scott as the Master (he would slay), I also think it's pretty easy to read out my favourite companions xD

"It's your choice, Doc." The Master grinned their mad grin, walking around him, weapon ready to shoot.

His friends were all there, right in front of him. All lined and tied up, none of them able to talk, but still every one of them was yelling. He couldn't look at their faces. They were calling to him, counting on him to get them out of this. He had let all of them down before

"Which of your little pets do you like best?" The other Timelord started walking down the lineup.

"Your girlfriend?" They played with Rose's hair.

"The other doctor?" They tilted Martha's chin up.

"Your bff?" Donna spat at them before they could touch her. But they just laughed and wiped it off on her dress.

"Your mother-in-law?" Amy almost managed to get a kick in.

"Your father-in-law?" They patted Rory's cheek, earning a growl from Amy

"Your wife?" One look from River was enough for them to keep their hands to themselves.

"Or your newest conquest?" They turned Clara's face in every direction, inspecting her.

The Doctor didn't answer. He could barely get a single word out. Most of the people in front of him weren't even alive anymore. Or they were unreachable to him. Yet somehow- somehow this sick bastard had gotten a hold of them. All just to pay him back.

"It's up to you. One I'll let go, the others..." They laughed softly, lifting the gun. "Well, you can imagine what'll happen to the others."

"Why are you doi-" "NO!", The Master snapped, pointing the gun at him. "None of your little mind games. You choose or they all die."

He shook his head, leaning toward the weapon. He was tired. "Kill me. As long as you don't hurt them. My lifes for their." Obviously disappointed the Master clicked their tongue. 

"Oh, doctor. I don't want to kill you. You're my favourite." Laughing, the Master sat on the armrest of the chair, leaning into him. He could feel their lips on his ear and it took everything he had not to pull away. "But the question is, who is your favourite?"

"If I'm your favourite- If you really care about me, why do you make me do this?!", he turned his head toward theirs. Slender fingers traced along his jawline. "I just want to make you see the consequences of your little obsession with humans." The way they said it sounded sweet, almost kind, but the words stung.

"I can always save them." "Can you though?"

One simple motion later Martha's body sacked forward, only held up by the ropes. Her hair fell into her face, hiding the expression of terror and fear.

The Doctor lunged forward, making the Master jump up from the chair and laugh. The ropes tightened around his wrists, pulling him back against the solid wood.

"That was me being nice. One less to choose from. Oh, I know what we'll do." They walked toward the controls on the other side of the room. "Shall we hear what your friends have to say after this?"

There was a click and suddenly he heard River's voice full of suppressed fear and anger. "Doctor! Doctor, you need to think. I know you're angry, but right now you can't afford that. You've beaten him before, but you need to keep a clear-" The clicking sounded again and cut her off. "Boring!" The Master faked a yawn.

"What about the redhead?" Donna let out a row of very creative curses directed toward the Master. She and Martha had known each other, they had been friends. Martha had a sister. And parents.

Jackie would kill him if he let Rose die. Amy and Rory probably wouldn't even have the chance to hate him if River didn't survive. River would kill him - again - if she lost her parents - again.

"I can't choose. I can't. Please!"

The Master stepped back, raising an eyebrow. "Begging already, are we? But remember, if you don't choose, I will kill them all." 

He couldn't do it. He couldn't choose. All of them had saved him so many times in so many ways. And there was nothing he could do to save them now.

"Where should I start? Left to right? Right to left? Based on height? Based on age? So many choices... Then again..." The next one out was Clara. She didn't even have time to look terrified. "I never liked her. Too much flirting. And I'm pretty sure this one isn't your favourite either." Amy and River started silently screaming before the blast hit Rory's chest.

"Shame. He actually was nice. He was also good for you, really told you what you needed to hear. You know who also did that?" They took a few steps toward Donna.

"STOP!"

Smiling, the Master turned toward him, looking at him expectantly. He couldn't stop the tears anymore. "Stop it. Please! Please, I'll do anything to save them. You want a planet to rule? A species to oppress?" In the background, all remaining four shook their heads, yelling at him, but he couldn't hear a word.

"Whatever it is, we'll make it happen as long as you let them go! I'll give you the entire fucking universe!"

The master let the weapon sink slowly.

Winchesters Save Christmas ☕️

Supernatural X How the Grinch stole Christmas

Summary: Sam and Dean get an invention to Who-villes annual Christmas Party, since they're famous for saving the world. The odd part would be all the events that fallow once they reach the small town.

Warnings: Rhyming some swearing, mentioning of past events! this doesn’t take place in any specific season of supernatural!

A/N: I don't own the story “How the Grinch stole Christmas” nor Supernatural, so both belong to their respective owners. I will be doing my own take on the Grinch and the story, obviously. Apologies for any spelling mistakes or if I do any Characters wrong, I got this Idea from something on Instagram, so I thought it might be fun to write. I hope this fic makes you laugh a little, if anything, maybe it will feel like an episode of the show. Anyway, let's get into this story. Enjoy! Oh, and Castiel is the one narrationating keep that in mind. i don’t own any of the pictures, their from the web!

—---------------------------

Context

It was a cold winter's night in the men of letters bunker, Dean and Sam were asleep in their beds, Their Angel Castiel who didn't sleep was sitting in the warm library, flipping through a few books. The bunker always had interesting books to read.

—---------------------------

“Castiel?”

A small childlike voice came from the entrance of the library. Cas tuned his blue eyes to find Jack, the newest member of Team Free Will standing there. Jack was a son to Cas and to Jack Castiel was a feather to him. Cas smiled at seeing him.

“Yes Jack?”

Jack walked over and sat in front of Cas. Castiel leaned forward to give Jack his full attention.

“I Couldn't sleep, I was hoping you could tell me a story?”

Castiel smiled and nodded, thinking for a moment he came up with a story he could tell Jack. It wasn't Just a story however, it was what Dean called the weirdest Christmas.

“I think I have the perfect story to tell you, Jack!”

Castiel told the boy with a smirk on his face and a glint in his bright blue eyes. Jack smiled and sat patiently waiting for Cas to begin. Cas thought up a few ideas of ways to tell it. Thanks to Metatrons upload he had the knowledge of the book called “How the grinch stole Christmas” which is what Sam said the events of that Case reminded him of. At least a few of the events.

—

This story starts in a town called Who-ville. The townspeople Loved Christmas, however the monster who lived just north of the small town DID NOT! The monster hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season! This creature also hated Hunters for every reason. The hunters of the town would always try to gun him down, they called it the Grinch. No one knows why it only attacked during the Christmas season, perhaps its head wasn't screwed on just right or its shoes were on too tight. The most likely reason of all according to the town's people was that its temperature was too cold too thick, perhaps if he went into the warm summer it would get sick and perhaps that was its weakness. Whatever the reason, the monster stood there on Christmas Eve, hating the Who's. The monster stood staring down from its cave with a sour, Grinchy frown at the warm lighted windows below in their town. For It knew every Who down in Who-ville beneath was busy now calling the Winchesters to come to their big Christmas party.

The Winchesters had been the talk of the town for weeks now, every Who civilian big and small was dreaming to meet them. This gave the creature an awful wonderful Idea of how it could ruin Christmas. Soon enough, his master scheme was thought of.

“The people of Who Vill will weep on Christmas day when they see their precious Winchesters strung up like stockings”

It cackled an evil laugh as it watched the town waiting for the brothers to arrive.

—--

“They better have some good pie!”

The elder Winchester said as he drove the Impala they were nearly at the town. Sam, who was in the passenger seat, chuckled at his brother's demand. The invitation had come yesterday inviting them to a Christmas party and since nothing urgent was happening at the moment at this time, Cas was still helping Jack to prepare to take on Chuck, so Sam thought they could take a break and have some fun. It took a little convincing on Sam's part to get Dean to go, but his brother wasn't that hard to convince when it came to having a good time. Sam was brought back to reality when Dean spoke again.

“Sammy, should we make a pit stop for food?”

“We are almost there Dean, the town's just up ahead, let's get there, then you can have all the pie you want!”

Dean seemed to like this answer as he turned the music back up and kept driving. The sound of Eye of the Tiger filled the car. Sam watched his brother lip sing to the song as they passed the sign saying “Welcome to Who-Vill”. The ground was covered in snow, the smell town had house that looked like tiny log cabins. There were people, men, women, and children waving at them as they came to a stop on the showy road.

“Is this welcome party for us, Sammy?”

Sam watched a smile spread on Deans face. A smile he hadn't seen since this whole ordeal started.

“Yes, Dean, I think it's for us!’

Dean and Sam stepped out of the car, and their feet made a crunching sound as they stepped onto the thick snow. They both were wearing thick winter coats to keep the cold out. Dean gave a wave before looking down at the Impales wheels, seeming disgusted at the snow that had built up under the tires. He decided to let it go, as he walked over to join Sam, who was in the middle of receiving a cup of steaming hot coca from a teenager. Soon enough another teenager ran up to Dean.

“OMG, Dean Winchester, um…do you want some hot coca?”

The girl who had come up to him had a small frame, black hair and fair skin, she kinda looked snow-white. Dean let a small smile crack on his lips as he thanked her and took the hot drink. The drink felt warm in his hands as he brought it to his lips and took a sip. As Dean walked through the town smiling at the people who smiled at him, some were interested in learning about his car and he certainly didn't mind that. For once the elder Winchester was having fun, and every time Sam looked over at him, he could tell his brother was enjoying himself. Another teenager approached Dean it was another girl she was holding a wood carving that she told him was of him.

“Oh uh… Thank you, what's your name?”

He took the wood in his hands, it felt rough.

“My name is Clara!”

She said with the most joy in her tone, Dean couldn't help but smile. Soon she was off to go help her family with last minute decorations that were for tonight's party at Midnight, and it would go on through the night. As Dean continued to enjoy himself it was getting later, Sam had already moved the Impala to a better spot for the night. He had told Dean he did that only after he had already done it, so his elder brother wouldn't insist on moving the car himself. Sam had been chatting up the locals, they had told him about the monster, however Sam thought they could simply hunt it in the morning since according to the locals it didn't attack, at least it had not yet. Once Sam and Dean met back up, Sam did inform Dean about the monster.

“Can we never just enjoy ourselves, Sammy?”

“If it's not causing trouble right now, we can hunt it in the morning before we leave!”

“OK Sammy,”

As they continued to enjoy, they kept their guard slightly up in case anything did happen. Soon enough something did, it was about eight hours before the big party was set to start when a loud cracking sound was heard through the nearby trees, Dean was nearby chatting up Clara when he heard it.

“Clara, Stay here!”

The girl did as Dean said. Dean pulled out his gun as he walked into the slight forest to find whatever made the sound, once he got deep in the forest he heard the sound again it sounded a lot closer. The air felt un naturally cold, he aimed his gun.

“Whatever you are, you better come out you, Sonofabitch!”

His voice was filled with determination, but before he could do something else something was dropped on him from above, it felt fuzzy, scratchy like whatever those fake Christmas trees are made off. It was tight, he had dropped his gun as soon as the thing dropped onto him. He struggled and let out a loud grunt as something else was pressed onto his lips and the force shoved him backwards onto a wood suffice that wasn't there before. The impact made him lose consciousness, making everything go back.

—----

The creature grinned, a grinchey grin, at his captive, who lay unconscious on the sleigh and stuck in a small tight mistletoe wreath with a red glittery bow attached to his mouth. The creature took his sleigh back up to its cave and dumped its captive on the cold, hard snow. The creature knew a thing or two about hunters it knew they carried weapons, he had seen his captive drop its gun when the wreath was thrown onto its body. However, the creature moved its green skinned, furry, rough hands over the hunter's body, making its captive shiver and open its green eyes which widened when it saw the creature. The hunter moved its body backwards as if in defence, the Grinch simply cackled once more, then walked over to the opening of the Cave where it had created two planks with ropes hanging from each, its plan was a devilish one indeed. It only had to wait for the other hunter to come for its brother and in its twisted logic soon Christmas would be ruined!

This was certainly the weirdest predicament Dean Winchester had ever been in, after waking and assessing his surroundings he tried desperately to reach a knife and somehow get out of the wreath that was binding him and scratching up his arms thankfully his jacket was providing some protection from the wreath. The monster that had taken him seemed to be busy at the mouth of the cave. He knew if Sam saw him with a bow on his mouth, his younger brother would gladly take bragging rights to not let Dean forget it. After a bit, he was able to spit the bow off his mouth, then he went to work trying to get out of the wreath. However, the creature turned around at that moment but seemed not to care. However, that was until he felt another wreath being put on his feet he tried to kick it away, but the creature seemed ready to keep him down by whatever means necessary. Whatever this thing was, it clearly was not playing around.

“What the hell”

The monster looked Dean in the eyes as it came closer.

“Soon Christmas will be ruined, and I can be in peace!”

“What! So you think killing us, will ruin Christmas, you big green ass!”

“The people see you two as heroes, so certainly seeing you strung up like stockings will shut the little who’s up for good! No more annoying Christmas!”

The Grinch said with excitement, Before Dean could retort, the creature shoved another big red glittery bow onto Deans mouth.

—--------

Back at the town, Clara had waited, and waited for Dean to return, but he had not appeared from the forest. Soon Sam walked over to her looking for his brother.

“Hay, Clara, have you seen Dean?”

“Sorry Sam, I haven't, last I saw he went into the forest!”

“Why did he go in there?”

“He heard something, and went to check what it was, “

“I will go find him! ”

Clara smiled at Sam, who smiled back. After a bit of walking in the forest, Sam came across Deans gun just laying on the ground. He knelt down and picked it up, there were a few other signs that could have determined that there was s struggle in that spot of the forest. Deciding to head back to Clara, he put Deans gun in his pocket as she waved him over.

“Clara, that monster you told me about, where does it live?”

‘Just north of the town, why?”

If Sam thought about the town's name, the description of the monster, if he thought about that too hard he could say all this sounded Lille something out of that story…. How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The monsters' location wasn't doing much to disprove that thought, either. Sam was quick to get in the impala, he started the engine, and it came to life fast. It felt a little weird being in Deans car without Dean, but he knew he had to get to Dean fast if the Grinch was seriously real and this was its doing, Sam didn't think it’s heart could grow like it did in the book or if it even had one. It took a little bit, but soon he made it. Sam got out of the car, as quietly as he possibly could, and walked to the trunk where they keep all the weapons. He grabbed guns, and knives as well as a flamethrower they had taken from the British men of letters, the locals had said the creature never attacks when It's hot outside, so Sam might as well use heat on it, see if that's enough to kill it. Sam made it up to the back entrance to the cave and carefully moved into it and fallowed it upward. He came to a stop when it opened up to a bigger part that jetted out over the side of the mountain, providing a view of the town. He saw Dean in the corner against a wall, Sam tried to hold back a laugh at seeing his brother with a red glittery bow on his mouth and stuck in a wreath that seemed tight around his torso and there was another wreath on his legs. Sam was about to run to his brother's side when he saw the creature, it looked skinny, dark green, with spiked fur, it had a long claws and a wicked smile, its eyes looked soulless black like a demon, it wore the top half of a Santa suit and the hat but no pants. The suit itself looked worn and old, the creature or rather the Grinch looked tall. Sam also saw beside the creature walked a small green looking animal, it looked like a dog that had a bath in radioactive water and was now hulk green with sharp claws and a spiky chain around its neck that the creature held.

“Maybe your precious brother isn't coming for you!”

Sam heard the creature say as it got closer to Dean grabbing for him, Sam was filled with anger and decided right then was the perfect time to intervene.

“Step away from my brother!”

He shouted, making the creature turn into a face full of fire from the flamethrower, the creature stumbled backwards towards the cliff end of the cave as the fire seemed to indeed hurt it. The creature was burning like Cole, it seems to be disintegrating from the fire.

Sam walked into the room continuing to flame the creature with the fire weapon, anger in his eyes, his brother had been through enough lately, of course the same could be said about himself. The brothers would always be there for each other, even if they had fights they’d still always be there fighting for each other! So when the monster had taunted Sam’s loyalty it had pushed all the younger Winchesters buttons, any monster that did that, was already dead in Sam’s mind! The creature's pet, however, pulled Sam from his thoughts when it ran right for him, Sam dogged and was able to throw the animal into a nearby duffle bag and trap it. He noticed the creature itself had fallen off the Cliffside, Sam looked down to see a burnt mess on the ground at least that's what he could see from the height they were at.

Sam turned, determined to go to his brother now that the monster was Dead. However, he saw the creature's pet had torn its way out of the duffel and was now trying to pull Dean towards the cliff with no luck, Sam was quick to burn it, and soon the creature's pet was ashes too! Sam went and kelt beside his brother, who had been watching the entire scene play out! Sam smiled as Dean spit the bow off of his mouth, and it nearly hit Sam’s face!

“Hay Sammy “

“Hay, Dean, are you ok?”

“Just peachy “

Sam nodded and took out a knife and got to work cutting Dean out of the wreaths.

“Well, at least we killed the monster before it attacked the town!”

Dean nodded in agreement, as Sam finished cutting him out of the wreaths, as they were about to leave the cave they could hear loud singing from the town below.

“Looks like that party started without us, Sammy!”

“Well guess the Grinch was wrong, killing us wouldn’t have stopped Christmas from coming, it came ! “

“Let’s get down there, I could use some pie!”

Dean wrapped his arm around Sam’s shoulder pulling him into a brotherly side hug as they returned to the Impala, soon they were back at the town, everyone was joyful to see them ! Dean nearly ate two things of pie, Clara kissed him at midnight! As for Sam, the town was happy to know the monster was killed! He and Dean had a joyful night before they left to return to the bunker in the morning! They had extra pie in the backseat, some gifts they had received as well as all the memories! They waved their goodbyes as they drove the Impala out of the town and to their home !

———

“And that’s the end of How the Winchesters Saved Christmas!”

Castiel said as he looked at Jack who was still wide awake, Cas had not noticed that the brothers themselves had joined them in the library till he looked over at them standing in the doorway.

“Hello, Dean, Sam!”

Castiel said in his firm voice, Sam gave him a smile, and Jack turned to look at them.

“Hay, guys, Cas was just telling me about your weirdest case!”

“Cas, you have a talent for telling stories, more so when they're about our cases!”

Cas smiled at what Dean said! Soon Dean announced breakfast was ready, so all four made their way to the kitchen, Dean pulled Sam into a side hug, and Cas pulled Jack into one too! For the moment, the four of them seemed like a happy family!

The End ☕️

[boldlyspeedydreamerreturns]

this is a very silly request but could you write a Helluva one shot about the characters decorating for a party only for Blitzo, Fizzaroli and Stolas to all get distracted by inhaling helium balloons and joking around together with squeaky helium voices?

feel free to add any other characters you want like Ozzie or Loona for example

Aww, this is silly, but yes, I can do it. 👍

At Asmodeus' palace, Blitz and Stolas are running around with Fizz trying to get everything set up quickly. Fizz smiles at the two.

"Thanks for helping me put together Ozzie's surprise birthday party. He always makes a fuss that he's too old to celebrate his birthday, but I love to spoil him."

*Stolas and Blitz both nod.*

"It was our pleasure, dear Fizzarolli. Asmodeus is a good friend, of course we were happy to assist."

"Yeah, plus you went all out on dinner. Who knew big Ozz had such a thing for comfort food?"

Fizz grabbed the helium tank and started blowing up more balloons. He then got an idea and chuckled to himself. He got Blitz's attention.

"Hey Blitz, remember this?"

He took a puff of the helium.

"Howdy boys and girls. It's time for the clown parade!"

Blitz burst out laughing. Fizz started marching in a circle, singing in the high pitched helium voice.

"Yes today, yes today, yes today is the clown parade. Grab your shoes, grab your nose, grab your friends and here we go~!"

The two couldn't stop laughing, falling over themselves as they almost couldn't breathe anymore. Stolas watched them curiously for a minute.

"Is this...a reference to something? I'm afraid I don't get the joke."

Blitz stopped laughing just enough to talk.

"Growing up in the circus, to drum up business my dad would make all of us walk around town in a "clown parade" it was so stupid. He would suck in a bunch of helium and sing that damn song."

He started laughing harder again, which made Stolas laugh too. Fizz took another hit of the helium.

"Blitzo, how many times do I have to tell you, don't throw too much confetti. That shit ain't cheap ya know!"

They all started laughing harder, not even noticing that Asmodeus had returned. He watched the trio amused. He looked around and saw the mostly finished party, as well as the fabulous dinner.

"Am I interrupting something?"

Fizz, Blitz, and Stolas all jumped when Ozzie spoke. Fizz grinned and jumped into his boyfriend's arms.

"Ozz, you're home early! Happy birthday, babe."

Asmodeus couldn't help a chuckle as Fizz still had the high voice. They kissed, then he smiled at Stolas and Blitz.

"Did you two help him with this silly plan?'

Stolas nodded happily while Blitz was still trying to compose himself from laughing so hard.

"Indeed we did. Fizzarolli asked us to assist in getting your party set up. Surprise! Happy birthday, Asmodeus."

Ozzie felt a swell in his heart. His boyfriend, and his two newest friends all coming together to give him a surprise like this.

"Thank you, Stolas. Now, let's eat before the food gets cold. I see some baked mac and cheese that's calling my name."

The four all sat down at the table, enjoying the small feast that was before them. Once dinner was finished Ozzie enjoyed opening his gifts and chatting with everyone. It was a nice evening. Nothing big or extravagant. Just a simple, fun time with people he cared for. A while later Stolas and Blitz both left, leaving Ozz and Fizz alone.

"This was perfect, froggie. Thank you. I love you so much."

Fizz nuzzled Ozzie and kissed him tenderly.

"The night's not over yet. You still have one more gift. But it's in the bedroom."

Asmodeus had a good idea of what this gift is. He took Fizz into his arms and started towards their room. The night was just beginning for them.

🍓 🏜️ ❄️? for the ask game? if you want also 🍬?

🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction? 

hm... taizi, i think! i started reading their writing right around the same time i started high school and i went, "wait. you can just do this?" i'd read fanfic before this but taizi's work was what made it click for me that fanfic is, like, A Type Of Writing, and you can do it really well, and put it in places where people will see it and enjoy it. so i did the thing. wrote lego ninjago fanfic in microsoft word on the days school started late and i had nothing to do in the hour before the bus arrived.

🏜️ ⇢ what's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?

oh gosh, that's difficult. i think, and maybe this is too vague, maybe the ones that get into the crunch of the thing. i am always on my all fic is meta train, so i think comments that seem to Get That, and expand on or pull into the open my thinking are my favourites? also a big fan of when someone says something i didn't think about while writing, but is nevertheless There In The Fic! new insights! that's very cool to me.

❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?

oh god oh fuck. i'm gonna take 'dream' here as meaning i cannot personally Make It Happen because a lot of the things i could say i dream about seeing in a fic are also things i could just put in a fic and tada, there, not a dream anymore. so it's gotta be some kind of stupid plot-heavy ensemble cast AU because that's just not the kind of thing i know how to write well enough to be satisfied with if i did it. i know if you asked me this again, like, tomorrow i would probably have a different answer, but right now i am sighing longingly about some kind of empires smp modern au. catrina belovedgamers and i were talking in dms the other day about a circus au in which some of the strays, stowaways, and outcasts of the world discover, with great joy, that they never have to go home again if they don't want to, and the idea of scott and shrub and joey (these three specifically, yes) getting happy endings amid the shenanigans of Circus makes me really tender. but it also has to be sad and difficult. it has to Deal with the corruption and xornoth and the fact that none of this is easy, and scott still has to try to kill himself and joey still has to get tangled up in xornoth and be just as prickly as he always is and shrub still has to lose everyone. and that's Just the three newest runaways this circus has picked up, all of wra is still here too, and so are pix and lizzie and joel and jimmy, so. do you see why this would be really fucking hard to write,

who would write it best? for it to be warming and gentle all the way through like a cup of tea at just the right temperature, probably taizi. but for it to pluck out the sad and difficult bits exactly right, probably alouette_des_champs, who consistently does The Best modern aus for pretty much every fandom they've written for. they are not in mcyt fandom at all, but they did this with drawga (comedy art actual-play web series), and atla, and naddpod (actual-play d&d podcast, also mostly comedy), and if there's anyone who could do this right i bet it's them.

🍬 ⇢ post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character

[guy who deliberately surrounds itself with people who have good fandom opinions that it generally agrees with voice] do i have. unpopular opinions. about popular fandom characters.

i think canary jimmy is deeply boring and gets focused in on to the exclusion of almost all the Interesting Things Literally Happening On The Screen? i have total faith that it can be a fun/useful/interesting framework with which to consider [jimmy in the life series] but mostly i think.... jimmy's got a personality in there. it feels weird that he seems so popular but so few people have Things To Say About Him outside of what he represents to other life series members.

i dunno, that feels like a really easy take to have, just disagreeing with The Most Popular fanon. and maybe i haven't Reviewed The Literature enough. but that seems like it meets the requirements. so!

[rizardofether]

WoW posting again. I am rotating my new WoW OCs in my head and needed to write about them somewhere. A new updated group picture of the main four. Moru got a new staff and they're all standing now.

I'm playing through each expansion campaign at the same time on different characters, except the first three and the newest one. Need to wait till I can buy TWW. Will have a character playing through that as well when I get it.

Whether they're actually canonically only going through that story or not varies. Crystar and Orkos have only been around since Dragonflight so they only take part in the newest two campaigns. The rest likely go through all the campaigns. Moru and Inzu are together for their parts. Not sure about timelines and storylines, more focused on character personalities so far.

Character infos & which campaign I'm playing through with them:

Crystar - They/He - Dracthyr - Devastation Evoker - Horde - Dragonflight

A weird dracthyr who seems to have an endlessly positive attitude who is not fazed by anything. Joined the Horde because "Its name is funny. I like it!" Has two modes of either talking all the time or being completely silent. Sometimes they just don't feel like talking. Almost always smiling though.

Remoss - He/Him - Worgen - Affliction Warlock - Alliance - Mists of Pandaria

A very intimidating-looking worgen. In truth he's just very shy. He barely talks because of it. He loves demons aesthetically. Even dressing with similar fashion. This only makes him look scarier. Wishes to be friends with demons.

Moru - He/Him - Vulpera - Arcane Mage - Horde - Shadowlands

Vulpera merchant and mage who thinks money is the most important thing. Though mainly a merchant, he does many various things to earn money, anything goes for him. Adventure, mercenary work, crafting and gathering materials etc. Sometimes he even scams rich people. He's pretty vain and thinks of himself as a genius.

Inzu - He/Him - Vulpera - Marksmanship Hunter - Horde - Legion

Moru's hired help. Does various tasks for him. Guarding, scouting, hunting & gathering, combat assistance, whatever is needed. He seems to hate Moru, often insulting him to his face. Moru is unfazed by this behaviour, as he's very used to it. Though if someone else offered to hire him, he'd refuse, explaining that he will keep working for Moru until their contract is over. He says this is for his reputation, though in truth it seems he really does enjoy being with Moru.

Ocdiir - He/Him - Draenei - Elemental Shaman - Alliance - Battle for Azeroth

Ocdiir is very kind and caring. He cares for everyone, even total strangers. Very quick to call new acquaintances friends. He tends to not have much of a concept of personal space. He tends to go for hugs and other gestures without thinking.

In the part where he and Jaina were being escorted by the Kul Tiran soldiers, I imagined he'd try to shield Jaina with his arm from the onlookers. That scene wouldn't leave my head, he's just such a protector. He'd be a paladin but he didn't have the aptitude for it.

Verne - He/Him - Kul Tiran - Feral Druid - Alliance - Warlords of Draenor

Druid who always stays in animal form, preferring the "cat" form the most. Actually dislikes his human form and wishes he were born as any kind of animal instead. He left his home to explore the world and see its wonders.

Orkos - He/They - Dracthyr - Shadow Priest - Alliance - The War Within (eventually)

Haven't really thought of characterization for him yet since I haven't really played him yet. Planning to use the level boost from buying the expansion on him when I get it.

Bonus character I also really like and have played a little:

Ramise - He/Him - Dracthyr - Fire Mage - Alliance

I played through some of the mage campaign in Legion, enough to get the weapons at least. Loves magic and fire is all I've got for him. Idk if I'll play him much since I already got all the assigned campaigns and not planning to play the earlier ones. Maybe I'll bring him to the next expansion that releases, though who knows I might make an entirely new character for it.

Summary: Jake opens up to Beckendorf about a new crush.

Ao3 Link:

Beckendorf liked to say he knew his siblings.

He only had three in the cabin right now, not that hard to get to know three other people when you spend practically everyday together. At least he didn't have as much to worry about as Lee and the Stolls did. How they even remembered so many names was a feat in itself.

Three was easy to remember. So, he didn't think there was anything new his siblings could tell him.

Boy was he wrong.

“You two are gonna get yourself killed like that.” Beckendorf was softly chiding two of his younger siblings who were messing with a gadget on one of the bunks. One that was much too sparky for Beckendorf's liking. “At least take it into the workshop if you're gonna be doing all that, come on now.” He playfully messed up his siblings’ hair. “ Do you want to have to put out another fire?”

His newest sibling,Christopher, whined.

“Fine. Come on Ros” He jumped up, putting the gadget under his arm and heading towards the tunnels.

Philophrosyne,Beckendorf's other sibling, shrugged and followed.

“Told you we shouldn't been working on it in the bunks.” They mumbled to Christopher.

“Yeah yeah- I know.” Christopher grumbled.

“Remember to follow the safety protocols this time too!” Beckendorf called after them. “You nearly took Jake out last time.”

“He was fine!”

“His ears were ringing for like a week.”

“Phil. Work with me here.”

Beckendorf chuckled, “Go on you two. Just be careful.”

“Yes sir!” Christopher said before pulling Philophrosyne into the tunnels with him, both arguing as they went down towards the workshop.

Beckendorf chuckled softly and shook his head, before heading back to his own bunk to work on some blueprints again.

It wasn't but a couple minutes later when Jake, the oldest of Beckendorf's younger siblings, came into the cabin. Rushing past Beckendorf and collapsing on his bunk causing it to creak,pulling the camouflage privacy curtain closed over his bunk.

Jake rarely did that.

Beckendorf frowned. Looking at Jake's bunk, at the door, then Jake's bunk again.

“That bad?”

Beckendorf could hear Jake's muffled groan, before he pulled back his privacy curtain.

He was face down on the bed, only moving his head to the side enough to see Beckendorf and speak more clearly.

“You can say that…”

“Mhm…” Beckendorf accessed his younger brother before sighing.

“Need to talk about it?”

Jake hesitated,rolling more on his side.

“I-”He started. “Its nothing.”

“If it's giving you that reaction,I say it's something.” Beckendorf said.

Jake hesitated, looking down a bit. Beckendorf had never seen Jake like this. He looked so…down. Confused. It definitely had him worried.

“Don't have to tell me if you don't want to. Just can see whatever it is it's bothering you.” Beckendorf said. “I'm here to listen if you need me.”

Jake looked at Beckendorf, before pulling his covers over him,as if trying to hide part of his body in them. Like he was ashamed.

Beckendorf hated seeing him like that. He wasn't sure what to do other than let Jake know he could talk to him. Hephaestus kids weren't always great at expressing emotions well. So he wasn't going to rush Jake on anything. Especially with how uncomfortable he was looking right now.

There was a few moments of silence, before Jake sighed. He shifted around a bit under his covers before looking at Beckendorf.

“It's-uh-Its…” Jake sighed. “I think I have a crush…?”

“Okay…” Beckendorf had a feeling there was a lot more to that. “That doesn't seem too bad. Is it something about her?”

Jake swallowed, “Not a…her.”

Oh. Oh.

Now Beckendorf saw what was going on.

“Ah.”

Beckendorf really didn't know what to say. Not in a bad way, but more in a ‘my younger brother pretty much just came out to me-’ kind of way. He had not been prepared for that kind of talk.

Jake groaned,rolling over onto his back and covering his face with his arm.

“Think something's broken…” His voice cracked.

Now, Beckendorf knew that wasn't right.

“Broke- We're not machines,Jake.” Beckendorf said, sitting up more. “A difference in us from what we think is the norm isn't a malfunction in design. It's just who we are. If you like this boy, then you like him. Doesn't make you broken."

Jake winced, “But-I mean-everyone else-”

“Like I said. You're not broken. Goodness, we're greek Jake. I'm sure the Apollo kids can tell you how often their father fell for a guy. Even Zeus has. It's not wrong just because you don't see it from others around you.”

Jake stared at Beckendorf for a moment,sniffling a bit before breaking down crying.

“Hey- hey-” Beckendorf got up, moving over to Jake's bunk and pulling him into a hug.

“I'm sorry-” Jake choked back a sob.” I'm sorry-”

“No need to be sorry…” Beckendorf rubbed his brothers back carefully. “I'm glad you felt comfortable enough to tell me.”

Jake nodded, burying his face into Beckendorf's chest.

“D-Don't tell anyone else- please-” Jake sniffled. “Not even Silena.”

“Promise. Just be between us.” Beckendorf said.

“Thank you…” Jake mumbled, wiping his eyes.

“Of course.”

They sat there like that for a while before Beckendorf hummed.

“Sooo. Who's the boy?”

“Beck!” Jake's face went red as he lightly shoved his brother. “Come on!”

“You know I gotta tease you.” Beckendorf laughed. “Is it that Yew boy from Seven?”

Jake's face went redder “How you-”

“You practically blue screened when he kicked your butt last Capture The Flag. I just thought you were shocked at the time.”

“I did not!”

“Pretty sure you did.”

Jake groaned as he put his head in his hands, “Regret telling you, I'm not gonna hear the end of it.”

Beckendorf ruffled his hair, “Probably not.” He chuckled. “I do it out of love though.”

Jake smiled a bit, chuckling slightly.

“Yeah. I know.” He said softly. Leaning against him.

Beckendorf smiled, “Wanna tell me about him?”

Jake blushed again, smiling.

“Yeah. That be nice.”

They sat there for a bit, just talking. Beckendorf listening to Jake tell him about his crush and confused feelings on it. Offering what help he could give. Each minute seemed like Jake was relaxing more.

He was glad. Happy that Jake had felt safe enough to tell him, and happy that Jake was able to get this off his chest.

Beckendorf might've not known everything about his siblings, but he at least be there when they needed to talk, and that was all that mattered.
