#I don't wanna see all but 1% of humanity die out - I wanna see them snapback

#'maybe you did i didn't do anything' god i love that... #but yeah let's retire this tired trope

[maehemthemisfit]

Hc that while Scaramouche was very "what are you doing? No that's stupid get away from me" wanderer is very "alright." He will tell you it's stupid still but he isn't going to stop you. You wanna put pigtails in his hair? Yeah, well, he's going to take a nap on your thighs and take them out when he wakes up. You wanna run up to him and hug him? Alright. He might hug you back. Casually.

I don't think he's good with emotions yet and he's still probably scared of being "weak" but not as much. Which allows him to enjoy his s/o more!

One thing that does not change is his reaction to someone hurting you. I'm talking more physically here because I can see Wander having some restraint with someone being verbally rude to you. Physically though? All bets are off. He's tracking them down and making them regret they were born. Murder, when it comes to your safety, is always on the table.

Wanderer is a bit more "big dog privilege" than when he was Scara mostly just because he has free time. Scara def made sure people didn't mess with you, but now Wanderer can go on late night walks with you. You wanna go to some event? Well, humans are fragile creatures and if he looks away from you for two seconds you're more likely to straight up die so he supposes he could go with you (he worries.)

In essence, Scaramouche is ur bf who's very emotionally unavailable and Wanderer is your emotionally unavailable boyfriend who lets you get away with everything

AHEM

There's only so many times Wanderer can keep up his uncaring façade. Sure, he may roll his eyes at your forms of affection and make a small fuss about a few of your ideas for dates, but if you ever backtrack on any suggestions or hesitate when touching him, he's immediately taking back his words... by making it seem like he doesn't mind or that he's "only doing this for you so you won't whine about it later."

Wanderer: You wanna use my hat as an umbrella? Hmph. THE AUDACITY TO EVEN-

Wanderer 1 min later: *holding you close to his chest so you won't get wet* sigh, stop moving. do you want to get wet? 😒

Same with Scara, except his ego my win a few times and he does grumpily watch as you walk away, too stubborn to admit his act.

Even though his words don't express it, his body never fails to. Those hugs he'd sometimes reciprocate, becomes more frequent and he holds you closer to his chest. He'd fine more excuses to hold your hand, even if none of them make sense.

Its a... very slow process.

If someone ever lays a hand on you though, Wanderer would absolutely be livid. Thoughts about murder though? It depends on the severity. If someone just shoved you on the street he'd probably make their day miserable, but if someone genuinely attacked you with intentions to hurt you as much as they could...? MURDER?

Nahida: Is never the answer!

Wanderer: ...

Wanderer: But it sure is the question! YOU DARE TO GAZE UPON-

Nahida: *sprays with water* 💦🔫 No, bad Wanderer!

He'll get his revenge without causing death. She never said violence was was off the table. Dottore though? Murder is always the answer.

Emphasis on the scary dog privileges, I swear his glares burns right through peoples soul.

Explanation for the names from what I learned: Kunikuzushi= what He named himself. Kabukimono= what the people called him. Scaramouche= fatui era. Wanderer= current with an anemo vision.

Part 1/Idea part 2 part 3

Apologies advance: Sorry if you can't tell who is talking.

Reader: Bold

@0rah-s

—Scaramouche-lovable-versions—

Earlier: you did not know how this happened. How did wanderer versions of himselves appear in front of you?? Well, now there's 4 people with you, you sat there as kunikuzushi sat on your lap, and he snuggles you. While Kabukimono is still slightly nice, as he sits there quietly and clings onto your arm. Wanderer just leaned onto your shoulders as he got flustered and would hit you in the arm if you said anything about it. Scaramouche is just watching the whole thing and gets annoyed and embarrassed that his versions of himself are clinging to you. It's not like he's getting jealous or anything.....

-—- current:

"Tch. Pathetic, clinging onto this thing?"

Scaramouche points at you, furrowing his eyebrows as he watches the others still enjoying your presence.

"I don't wanna admit, but....Im kinda disappointed in my past self."

Wanderer says, looking disappointed but at the same time snickering at him. Scaramouche was about to get his hands bloody until Kabukimono asked him why he was reacting like that with fascination and curiosity in his eyes. Kunikuzushi also wants to ask but doesn't know how.

"What's happening...? Aurgh..."

You said drowsy since you didn't get any sleep from the bickering from last night, and the worst thing is that since they don't sleep or get tired at all.

Everyone looked at you, making you nervous. "What?"

"Nothing..."

Wanderer sighs. "You can go back to sleep now."

"Well, I need food, so let me go cook some." You stretched your arms and legs out. Accidentally letting a few-

*CrAaaAcK*

"..." *Silence*

Kabukimono stars panicking, he learned that if a human bone got broken, you'll hear a crack. He starts running to get the med kit, crying big fat tears as he clutches your shirt.

"*hic* Don't die pleasee!"

"I'm not going to die??"

Wanderer mentally face slaps himself on the forehead. "They're not dead, you idiot."

Scarmouche covers his ears from Kabukimono loud crying. It even gets worser when kunikuzushi starts crying with him even though he doesn't know what's going on.

After some reassurance that you're not gonna die, you finally got up and went to the kitchen. Grabbing some ingredients and stuff to make whatever you're making.

They all just stare at you. Kabukimono and Kunikuzushi just openly stare while Wanderer just side glances every second, so he doesn't seem interested and staring. [It's so obvious] Scaramouche is literally just hiding in the corner, sending death stares into your back. [You're even more obvious than Wanderer]

You told them to go to the living room and wait there. And not even 1 second later, Wanderer and Scaramouche sends snarky remarks or comments to each other. As kuni and kabu just watches in fascination.

They stopped suddenly when they smelled something. It wasn't bad, it smells good. [I don't know if your F/F is smelly or not. No offense to the smelly thing- I promsie.]

They went into the kitchen, seeing you eating your F/F (favorite food). They flinched when you caught them staring.

"Want some?" Your words are slightly muffled from you still chewing your food.

"Hah, we don't require food. We're not wea-"

Scaramouche is stunned to see kuni and kabu already sitting there being hand fed by you. At least Wanderer isn't getting convinced to—

"Wanderer, come over here and have some."

....Wanderer was about to decline until you headed a spoon of food to him. He found himself obediently sitting on the chair, being hand fed by you. He declined the food again but immediately stuffed his mouth with food when you offered another spoon of food.

Scarmouche standing there, frozen in place. You offered him food but he refused loudly. Saying again that he didn't need food unlike you weaklings.

He kept staring at you when you kept hand feeding them. Scowling at you. Wanderer looks at Scaramouche and mouths

'What? Jealous?'

Smirking as his mouth opens wide to let you feed him.

'What?! I'm not jealous! I'm just saying that eating is utterly useless..! It's not like I only want me to be hand fed by [Name]!' Scaramouche thought. Scowling at the thought. [More like pouting since he is oh, so jealous of them.]

Without noticing, you walked up to him and put a spoon full of food near his face. He became flustered, telling you to go away, and he doesn't need it. You pretended to be disappointed, and O' so sad :(

He perked up and took a bite. Saying muffled words that you should be grateful.

After cleaning up with Wanderer, since all of them don't know how to, you told them to follow you. You fell on the bed, smiling comfortably. You turned your head to see them

"Come on, join me."

Kunikuzushi immediately came to lay his head on your left arm, Kabukimono following the same but on the right arm. Wanderer laid on top of you.

Scaramouche said that he doesn't need sleep and will just watch out the door for any intruders. You carefully got up and picked him up.

"Hey! Let me go-!"

You humed in response. Making him lay on top of you on the left side as everyone went back to their positions. [Wanderer is on the right side on top of you]

He begrudgingly accepts his face. Eyes slowly closing. Forming a slight smile.

They fall asleep. Happily sleeping in your warmth.

Sweet dreams~

Break Through Au

Word Count: 1.6k

Summary: You go out ice skating on the lake with your brothers and Things don’t go as planned for you three

Warnings: CPR/Death, Falling through Ice, Hospitals, Yelling

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You were on the ice with your brothers Will and Jay, even though you weren’t allowed to, you guys still went regardless.

It was 10pm, no one would be out here to get in your way or yell at you to get off the ice.

“Cmon Y/n/n, it's better out here” Jay said while attempting to slide farther out to the lake. 

“I don’t know Jay, I kinda wanna stay over here. That way I get off easier than struggling to get off if I'm way over there.” you shrugged.

“Alright then, me and will be over there if you need us' ' He pointed towards the middle of the lake.

“Alright, I’m just gonna slide around.” You shivered. Maybe I should work more layers. You thought to yourself.

After a while you got bored and decided to go over to Will and Jay who were “fighting” over who got the better hockey stick.

Will pulled out his phone and checked the time. “Guys it’s 11 o'clock, she should head home now, if we all get a cold moms gonna know that we went outside without asking her, especially if Y/n gets sick”

“But I'm getting good at hockey,” you whined.

Will and Jay just have you that look. “Alright alright let’s go” You caved.

Because your brothers were better on ice than you were, they went up ahead of you. 

“GUYS! I'M NOT AS FAST AS YOU SLOW DO-“ Before you could finish your sentence a loud Crack interrupted you.

That made the two Halstead brothers come to a halt and turn around to you. “No,” Jay whispered. “Y/n don’t move, just stay still we’ll come to you”

Before you could say anything the Ice broke.

Jays pov:

“Y/N, SHIT NO” I screamed, my little sister just fell through the ice.

Me and Will immediately slide over to where she fell in and I immediately throw my whole arm in the freezing water to see if I can feel Y/n

“Give me your other arm so I can pull you once you get her!” Will shouts.

“Once I touch something that feels semi to a human arm I pull. I can tell it’s Y/n because once I pull I feel a bit of weight. 

“PULL WILL, PULL” 

Once we were towards the edge of the Lake I pick y/n up bridal style and rushed over to land.

“Put her down here.” Will says. 

“What the hell do we do?” I cry

“She’s not breathing, Jay, you need to run back to the house and call someone” Wills is studying medicine so he knows a couple of things about what to do in a life or death situation.

“WHO DO I CALL?” I shout

“I DO GIVE A FUCK, CALL 9-1-1 AND HURRY”

My body moves into autopilot as I’m running through the forest making sure I don’t trip on any rocks or roots. 

My legs are burning and I can’t breathe but I can’t stop, if I stop Y/ns gonna die and it’ll be all my fault.

As I reach the house I punch in the code to the door and run upstairs to my bedroom. 

I basically almost threw my  phone into the air while trying to pick it up.

“9-1-1 what’s your emergency?”

“It’s -it’s my sister, she fell into the lake and I don’t know if she’s breathing”

“Check if she has a pulse”

“My older brother is with her at the lake, he-he's studying medicine so he knows what he’s doing”

“What’s your name sweetheart?”

“Uhh jay, my names Jay”

“Alright Jay, How old is your sister and how long was she under water for?”

“I don’t- 5 minutes maybe, and her name is Y/n, but we all call her Y/n/n. I don't know what I’m gonna tell my mom, that my littler sister died because we didn’t listen to her?” I’m panicking.

“Jay, I’m gonna need you to take a deep breath, I have help coming on the way right now”

How did she get my location? I didn’t even tell her.

***

The paramedics arrived and Jay led them to the lake where Will was with you. 

Will did successfully get you back but you were still unconscious. 

Why didn’t we just listen?

***

“15 Year old Female Y/n Halstead, Hypothermia after falling through ice, Was unconscious on site and Has a history of Heart issues.” The paramedic listed off all the things

(Ik that Grey's anatomy is in Seattle but because the show is so old let’s just pretend that this happened with them, it’s been awhile since I’ve watched it so if I make mistakes Woops)

“Alright,on my count if we move her. 1…2…3”Alex said.

Alex looked you over and started telling Jo things to do. “I want a head Ct, Keep me updated on her temperature and get me Derek for a consult.” Jo nodded.

Jay and Will followed Dr. Karev outside. “Is she gonna be ok?” Jay asked.

“She’s not out of the woods yet, but we won’t know more until she wakes up which will be a couple of hours” 

***

“Jay Halstead and Will Halstead” A stern voice called to them that made them Gulp.

“What in the world happened, and why did the Atwater’s call me and say that something happened on the lake and I needed to come home?” Your Mom stoked with her hands on her hips.

Jay and Will glanced at each other and knew they had no way out of this so they just decided to tell the truth and get it over with.

“I have told you guys time and time again not to play on that lake during the winter,

If you want to go ice skating go to the bigger one. Y/n has been punished enough, and as for you too, just until we get home, me and your father Will real with you. Do you understand?”

“Yes mom,” The boys said together.

“Alright, either the Atwater’s or the Uptons are going to pick you guys up and take you home. I will stay here with your sister, your father should be at home by now”

“But mom-“ Jay said. “No buts, wait here”

***

It had been a couple of weeks since the incident and A lot had happened. 

You were on the News, people came to your school and spoke about Ice safety. Jay and Will were indeed grounded but only for two weeks. The lake was now closed off while they were still doing an investigation. Which you didn’t understand why because it’s not like anything else happened but it was whatever.

“Y/n hurry up you’re going to miss the bus!” Jay shouted from downstairs.

“HOLD ON IM COMING” You grabbed your backpack and ran down the stairs.

After getting all your stuff in your backpack you got all your stuff ready to walk to the bus stop.

“Alright, what’s the rules?” Will questioned you.

“No wandering off to the other lake, don’t take off my jackets unless I really need to and don’t get anything that will drop my body temperature” 

“Good.”

“Do you still have to put my hat and Jacket on for me? I’m 15 years old.”

“Because of recent events and mom being gone and I’m going to leave soon I need to make sure you're ok, plus your body temperature is still not to its normal temp yet so layers it is.” You rolled your eyes at what would be said.

“I will pick you up for your doctor's appointment maybe 30 minutes before school ends, and Jay will drop your lunch off at the front office” Will said as he started walking at the door. 

“Bye will see you later” 

Once Will was gone, you ate the last of your waffles and grabbed your hot chocolate or what Jays calls “Jay's famous Hot chocolate” but it tasted like any other drink.

***

“I miss having you out on the lake by the middle school” Your friend Ellie said.

“Me too, but ever since my mom died Will and Jay have been strict on what I can do since my dad won’t really do much and they're trying to get me to learn stuff before Will leaves for New York and Jay leaves to serve” You shrugged.

“But I did convince Jay to get you some fries and nuggets” You laughed 

“You are literally the best, I really didn’t feel like spending all my money in my account today” Yeah the school food was expensive but it’s because you guys had fast food restaurants in your cafeteria so I guess it made sense.

***

“Hey Nugget” Will greeted you as you got into the car.

“Hi Will, can we please get McDonald’s after my appointment?” 

“Sure, where’s Jay? I told him he could get out of school early since he has a free period this week.”

“He said he wanted to stay at school, so he’s probably just walking around the hallways or doing whatever Jay does” You shrugged.

You thought about it for a while, your life was somewhat falling apart. Will was leaving for New York. Jay was getting deployed so you weren’t gonna see him. And your mom was gone so all you had left was your Dad, and your dad wasn’t the best person now since your dad died.

“Hey Will?”You broke the silence 

“Yeah Nugget?” 

“I’m- I’m gonna miss you when you leave” Here comes the water works.

“Me too Y/n me too”

Life from now on was going to be way different for you , and everyone around you knew that. You were going to get through it and it was going to be Ok. Right?

Well that’s at least what you thought…

[shiftinglea]

i kinda have a concern even tho i know it's simple and easy to manifest everything i still have fears popping here and there that even if i persist for years what if I don't get my desires and what if at one point I'm so tired and I give up on all of it i really don't wanna entertain two sides i just want to be in state where I have my desires to get my stuff in 3d but honestly idk seeing everything still same it gets tough I'm trying to discipline myself but sometimes i just get depressed do u have any advice for me it's ok if you get harsh 🙏

I understand you because I used to have the same fears: what if after all these years I won’t manifest my dream life and I’ll die unhappy and disappointed in myself and in the law? What helped me is realising two things:

1. Death doesn’t exist. You can find an article about death in my pinned post where I talked more about it. But basically, knowing that you never die, you just change forms, and you are not limited by time or this lifetime, releases you from the anxiety that the clock is ticking and you are still not successful with your manifestation. Because when you know that you have unlimited time—that you basically have infinity to experience whatever you want to experience—the rush isn’t there anymore. I do recommend reading my post about death to better understand this phenomenon and how it’s connected to our manifesting abilities.

2. Whatever you are fearing is just an illusion.

“You have nothing to fear but fear itself” God.

So, in this case, you are afraid of failure. Failure is just an illusion; it doesn’t exist in ultimate reality. Basically, the illusion of failure was created for us to use in any way we like. Mostly, humans use it to experience the joy of succeeding. If this physical reality didn’t have the illusion of failure, we wouldn’t even register success as success because we wouldn’t know the opposite of it. I also have a post about this in my pinned section, so check it out as well.

When you catch yourself having fears, just look at your fears—really look at them. Because when you look at something, you see its true form and nature. Realize that what you are fearing is just an illusion that was created to serve you. See it as an illusion and use it. Don’t be in it. Use it to experience the exhilaration from manifesting your desires. You might have to do it a few times until you remember that it’s just an illusion and there is nothing to be afraid of.

Shinigami discovering Halloween

Halloween post #4

Pairing:shinigami x male reader

Summary:Despite your girlfriend being kind of a ghost, she's not familiar with Halloween, but when she heard it was a holiday dedicated to death and fear, she couldn't have been happier to celebrate

A/n:Shinigami is just ghost junko change my mind......I love her so much. I forgot if it's been confirmed if vivia can see Shinigami, but I'm pretty sure it's been heavily implied, and it would be weird if he couldn't with his forte also I really like him and wanted to write something with him in it. Shinigami is always in her human form in this.

Everything was quiet at the nocturnal detective agency. You were reading a book vivia recommended you while relaxing on the couch. The only sound that could be heard was the rain pouring outside. Everything was relaxing and quiet

"Masteeeeeer! Come on master I'm sooo bored let's do something"

Except for the death god standing behind you, that is

"*sighs* I am doing something, shinigami, I'm reading"

"Yeah, but I'M not doing anything. Is your book more important than your super hot and cute and awesome gf?"

"I swear you're so needy"

"I can't help it. I love you so much master"

You blushed and sighed again

"Fine, just let me finish this chapter, and I'm all yours"

"Wait, what am I supposed to do in the meantime?"

"I dunno just look out the window or something. It's won't be long"

"Alriiiiight, it's still boring though, with the rain you can't see anything"

"I think it makes it more scenic, but think what you want"

Shinigami floated over to the window near the couch and noticed something unusual outside

"Hey, what's with all the dressed up kids?"

"Oh, it's Halloween, so they're probably just trick-or-treating"

"Hm? Halloween, what's that?"

"You don't know? I thought you of all..... beings would know"

"Master, with all due respect, I really don't care about human festivities, oh except for funerals, those are always so fun"

"....anyway, Halloween is like.....Uhm how do I explain it?"

"Halloween is the night the spirits of the dead come the closest to the human world"

You two turned towards the voice and saw vivia lying under the couch while reading

"Aaahhhh, it's the anemic vampire!"

"Hi vivia, what were you doing there?"

"Reading, like you"

"That's not what I......nevermind, is what you said true?"

"Yes, in fact, there are a lot more spirits than usual today, and the number will only grow during the night"

"Oh, so that's why you didn't leave like the others? Cause you didn't want to see all the spirits?"

"Indeed, though, there are a lot of them here too....it's annoying.....*sighs* I wanna die"

"I guess I noticed that too, I didn't think too much about it, though,"

"That's cool to know, I guess people have a good reason to celebrate then"

"I still don't get it. What's that got to do with all the kids in costumes?"

"Children go around in costumes asking for candies this holiday"

"......why?"

"Uhm?"

"If Halloween is like ghost day, why do kids ask for candies? That has nothing to do with it"

"...I guess the costumes can be kinda scary sometimes, I get your point though"

"That's soooo unfair. This holiday is supposed to be about ghosts and fear and, most importantly, death. It's supposed to be super scary, and those kids are ruining it"

"....I really don't think it's their fault, this has been a tradition for basically forever"

"Well, we need to change it, master let's go!"

Shinigami started flying away from where you were faster, making the chain on your neck appear and drag you near her

"S-shini, stop! You're hurting me"

"Oh eheh sorry master"

"Where are we going anyway?"

"Outside, we need to scare everyone we see and bring the true spirit of Halloween!"

"No"

"What! Whyyyyyy?"

"Cause we can't, how would we do it anyway?"

"I'm a death god, I'll definitely spook all of them in no time"

"1:Only me and vivia can see you, so that wouldn't work, and 2:you just look like a very beautiful woman, that won't scare anyone"

"So you finally recognized my beauty"

"I tell you that basically every day shini, but anyway yeah, we won't go"

"*sighs* I guess you're right master, that's such a shame, though"

You looked at Shinigami's sad and pouting face and felt bad for her

"But I guess we could do some other Halloween things"

"Hm, like what?"

"We can bake some autumn sweets for us, or I guess me since you can't eat, we can also watch horror movies"

"Oh oh, yeah, horror movies, let's watch one, with a lot of murders please"

"Alright, I'll put on a slasher....and we can cuddle meanwhile"

"Yaaaay ok now I'm sooo happy master, thanks I love you so much master"

"I love you too"

The death god flied over to you and kissed your cheek before moving to the couch and floating on it, making herself comfortable and waiting for you to start an amazing movie night

[neonjellyfishart]

So I've been thinking of this story for a while now and decided to make it so before we start I just wanna say a few things

1.im new to writing stories, so if you have any advice please say it just don't be rude or a bitch about it

2. I type fast, so there may be spelling errors and most likely Grammer errors(my Grammer fucking sucks)

DOUMA X CHILD READER

(Douma goes more insane and attempts to murder all of the upper moons, not including muzan)

Tw:child murder, attempted murder, insanity,violence, cussing, decapitation, mentions of child abandonment, douma gets jumped

It was the dead of winter, and douma was walking back to his cult after finishing his battle with a hashira. When he heard a noise coming from a bush, he decided to investigate it, and when he looked into it, he saw a child curled up into a ball with a mess hair, messed up outfit while crying.

Douma didn't know what came over him he felt an emotion come over him, was it sadness, pity, he didn't know what it was but the one thing he did know what he had to help this child

"Oh, you poor little thing... where are your parents?"

"T-they're back at the house something came in and attacked us so I ran away...i went back to the house and when I went inside blood was everywhere and my mom and dad wouldn't wake up "

Douma pats the child's head, "There there no need to cry ill take care of you and I'll make sure no harms come your way"

"You promise...?"

"Promise. Now, what is your name, little one?"

"Y/n..."

"It's a pleasure to meet you. Y/n my name is Douma"

Months passed, and the bond between Y/n and Douma had gotten to the point where it was a father daughter relationship. Wherever Y/n is, Douma is with them and vice-versa. For the first time in Douma's life, he felt emotions and happy emotions. He didn't have to fake his smiles anymore they were all real. These were the best moments of his life. He had never felt so much happiness before in his life. He never wanted to lose his child. He wanted to be with his child for the rest of all of eternity.

"Y/N!, Y/N!, WHERE ARE YOU?...that's weird they usually come running to me when I call them"

*Douma gets teleported to the infinity castle*

"OH!, a meeting did one of us die?"

"No, now shut the fuck up douma"

"Meanie"

"HOW LOVELY IT IS TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN, how long has it's been since we last say eachother?, 20 years?"

"I-its b-been 50 years, si-ir gyokko"

Before they could continue their conversation, muzan appeared, and the meeting started. They discussed (whatever you think they would discuss) once the meeting ended, muzan called Douma

"Douma"

"Yyeesss~"

"Listen to me and listen well, you may be upper moon 2, but as of right now and everything you have failed to do. You are nothing but a disappointment and a useless upper moon"

muzan lifts his hand, nakime plays her biwa, and in muzan's hand appeared Y/n's decapitated head

"So don't think you can go and do whatever you want"

Douma stood there in shock, trying to understand what he was looking at. Was this a dream it had to be a dream? There is no way that his child is dead. That's not their head. That's someone else's head. Tears slowly come out of Douma's eyes. his body realizes what he is looking at, but his mind is telling him otherwise. He felt a new emotion, but he didn't like this feeling at all he wanted to disappear to never come back.

"Y-y/n...."

Muzan drops y/n's head. Before it could splat on the floor, Douma runs and catches their head and cruls up into a ball while still holding their hand shaking

"Next time you do something like this, it will be your head"

Muzan leaves, and now it's just Douma holding his child's head while the rest of the upper moons, including nakime, just stare at him

"HA, IMAGINE TAKING CARE OF A PATHETIC HUMAN CHILD JUST HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE DOUMA"

"Daki, please"

"She's right, douma hasn't done anything properly his entire time being an upper moon-"

Before akaza could continue talking, multiple icicles come at akaza, pinning him against a wall they all look at douma, seeing him now standing up, still holding the child's head, his eyes red and puffing, tear staining his face, his eyes had nothing but rage and hated in them.

Douma walks to a conner, and he places y/n's head in the conner and makes an ice wall around their head. He whips out his fans, and he goes on a rampage attacking everyone. He knocked and terribly injured uppermoons 6-3, including nakime, who was trying her hardest to regenerate her limbs as Douma's ice had slowed her regeneration.

The only demon that was left was upper moon 1, Kokushibo.

"All this, just because of a human child"

"THAT HUMAN CHILD WAS MY CHILD, I TOOK CARE OF THEM, GAVE THEM A HOME, PLENTY OF FOOD, EVERYTHING THEY NEEDED. YOU WOULDNT UNDERSTAND THE PAIN IM FEELING AFTERALL YOU LEFT YOUR CHILDREN!"

The fight continued, and Douma was able to pin Kokushibo on the ground. Right when Douma was about to cut off Kokushibo's head but one of gyutaro's bloody sickles chopped of both of Douma's arms, then daki's belt was about to chop off Douma's head but he was able to dogde the attack, only to get attacked by the 4 hantengu clones at once, then his body was poisoned by gyokko's fishes making him unable to move, Kokushibo and Akaza both attacked Douma using their strongest attacks finally defeating the rampaging Douma and he was struggling to regenerate.

"AAAAAHHHH,FUCK YOU ALL, IF THOSE DAMN SLAYERS DONT KILL YOU ALL, THEN I WILL. ILL DRAG YOU ALL TO THE DEEPEST PART OF HELL"

"You'll be there long before we get there"

"I don't mind waiting for a few hundred years"

Douma opened his eyes, and his surroundings were dark. All pitch black, he looked down at his hands, he didn't see his long sharp fingernails and didn't feel any demonic power going through him. Before he could continue his thoughts, he felt something grab his leg.

"SIR DOUMA I FOUND YOU!"

"Y/N!"

Douma gives Y/n a hug while crying

"Sir Douma, I got so scared I was in my room playing when a man with black hair wearing a suit came in, and I've been here ever since....where are we did that man get you too?"

"There is no need to worry all that matters is that we are together and we will be together forever"

"Sir Douma, why is there fire over there?

"That's where we'll have to go. Are you ready, Y/n?"

Douma puts his hand out for Y/n to grab

"READY!"

Both Douma and Y/n walk towards the fire while Y/n was babbling about her day before the attack.

Stored Away Headcanon pt 1

If the Sans's found out about your old fanfiction and drawings UNDERSWAP! SANS He found out by finding a certain shoe box in your room, at first he thought "wowie new shoes!" but what he opened instead was slightly crumpled papers. He was a bit disappointed of not getting shoes but was curious on what was written on the mysterious papers. "A LITTLE READING SHOULDN'T HURT" oh boy he didn't know what he was going into. he saw his own nickname with "x [name]" he was ecstatic to see his very own fanfiction about him and you, but when he starting reading the romantic parts of you and him dating. He couldn't help but swoon at the drawings and dating scenarios between you and him, it could have some rewriting but overall he loves it. he was giggling and kicking his feet when your character kissed him! (he had to set it down to hide his flustered face and giggles) * WOWIE I DIDNT KNOW THE HUMAN HAD SUCH PASSIONATE LOVE FOR ME! I SHOULD TAKE THEM ON A DATE!! While he was reading the 2016 fanfiction, you rushed in and to your horror you see Swap reading your old fanfics. Quickly, You snatched the papers and fanart away from him. You screeched as quiet as you can, questioning Swap. "Why are you in my room!" * I WAS TRYING TO FIND YOU! BUT YOU WERENT IN YOUR DOMAIN BUT I WAS CAPTIVATED BY THIS BOX! "HOW MUCH DID YOU READ!?" * EVERYTHING!! AND HUMAN I MUST SAY, I DIDNT KNOW YOU HAD SUCH STRONG FEELINGS FOR ME!! CAN'T SAY I BLAME YOU" Your world shattered and you crumpled into the floor, groveling into your self loathing and embarrassment with the papers spread out on the floor. You felt like your going to die any second now, you don't wanna even look at him therefore you tug your hoodie strings to hide your face, muffling a question to Swap. "Are you disgusted with me?" * DISGUSTED!?!? Swap immediate lift you by the arm pits and proudly stated. * HUMAN TO THINK YOU WOULD WRONGLY GUESS ME, THE MAGNIFICENT SANS BE DISGUSTED BY THESE PASSIONATE AND GENUINE WRITING!! AND I MUST PROCLAIM THAT THIS LOVE SHALL NOT BE UNREWARDED!! * HUMAN HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO ON A DATE WITH ME AND THE OTHER ME'S? TO MAKE THINGS FAIR. "wait wut." Swap set you onto your feet to pick up your fallen fanfiction, You open your hoodie cocoon in disbelief You didn't know how to react to his statement. While you were trying to collect your mind, swap noticed there were other more fanfiction for his other "me's"! * IT SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE MORE OF THESE LOVE LETTER FOR MY OTHER SELF'S. * WE SHOULD SHOW THEM YOUR LOVE! "WAIT WAIT WAIT NONONONO!" You try to plead with Swap but he's already out of the room. "well that's it I'm going to kill myself :/" Extras - Swap will always take care of your love letters and fanfiction. will guard it with his life. - When it is night time US! sans will always reread the fanfics. 100% will giggle like a schoolgirl because he loves it so much!

DUSTTALE! SANS - At first, he didn't believe it when Swap told him about the fanfiction that was once he was when swap showed him the papers in his face. - You in the meanwhile, finally got the energy to chase down swap but it was too late. Dust was reading it, you wanted to die all over again right now. You try to ask for him to hand it back to you, but your pleads fell silent to a murmur instead. - you went back to groveling in your self loathing and embarrassment again. all he did was silently read your 2016 fanfiction, you can't see what expression he was wearing by his hood and was uncomfortable by how silent he was. You thought about the negative reaction he was going to show but he didn't.... - instead he carefully fold the papers with care and silently stored it in his hoodie pocket and then gone back to what he was doing before.

".....huh?" *SEE, HUMAN! I KNEW HE WAS GOING TO LOVE IT! (alr im going leave it off here. i will make a pt2 with fell, horror, and snas headcanon reaction later so yea hope u like this one :p)

[starlightiing]

I saw you were sad about your writing before you deleted that post. Wanna tell us about some WIPs you have? 🥺 ❤️ 💙 💜

Thanks anon I appreciate you. I kinda want to throw all my WIPs in the trash actually ahaha but uh lemme gather my documents and see what I have...

Pierresteban:

1. Car Crash fic. Pierre gets in a horrific car accident while they're in Texas a week before the GP. He and Esteban had a nasty break up and quite literally only speak for work purposes. Pierre, however, forgot to update his emergency contact and Esteban got the call at 2am. Tired and annoyed, he brings himself to the hospital with his proof of identity, expecting to hear that Pierre was stupid and broke an arm or something. It's much worse.

2. Android AU - Pierre is a very high tech android, the first and only of his kind. He's incredibly hyper realistic, so much so that he managed to fool a doctor. However, when he's debuted to the investors, they're afraid of how realistic he is. They tell the devs to turn him off and put him away for now, but Pierre was built with self preservation and he knows that means death. He runs away from them and seeks refuge with one of the mechanics that works for the company that created him - Esteban Ocon. Chaos ensues. Esteban steals this multi million dollar android and runs away with him to save his life.

3. Jurassic World AU - Pierre works at the hatchery with baby dinos. He's a "veterinarian" in a sense, and he plays with/mothers the baby dinos and makes sure they are socialized and enriched and such before they're put in their enclosures. Esteban works park security and special operations. When the park goes down, a series of events leads them both to miss the evacuation boat and thanks to Esteban losing his heart monitor in the scuffle, his security team sees him "flatline" and they think he's dead, so no one is coming for them, either. Survival AU for the boys.

Landoscar:

1. Young Forever AU - this one is a bit odd, but it's a sort of "if you fall asleep you die" scenario, only its "if the music stops you die" - based on the line "the best of the drums keeps us alive" from the song Young Forever by The Ready Set - tying it into the beat of the drum being the beat of their hearts. If they're without music, they're without a beat, and therefore their heart stops. It sounds dumb. I promise it won't be. I'm still working out the kinks. It's going to be the strangest thing I ever write I think.

2. Soulmate AU - Don't want to go too far into this one, but Lando is a star that is humanized when he makes it to Earth. Yes, it sounds similar to the movie Stardust, no, it's actually not. Oscar has Lando's stardust inside of him, and so he literally lights up from his veins up to his heart when Lando touches him, because it's the stardust inside of him reacting to its host. Oscar has to help Lando figure out how to be human, they fall in love, there's issues, ect ect. Their bond is moldable. It's cute.

3. Flatliners AU - this one has a lot of pairings but the main focus is landoscar. Lando, Oscar, Pierre, Esteban, Alex, George, Charles, and Logan are med students in their residencies at the same hospital. Lando is focusing in neurology and has taken a special interest in "life after death" and what the brain does when the heart stops. He approaches his friends with a very casual, "I want you to stop my heart" to mixed reviews. Oscar's focus is cardiology and also he has the most sense out of them all so he highly protests such a stupid idea. Majority rules, though, unfortunately for him.

Lestappen / Galex / Landoscar / Pierresteban:

1. Angel AU - first part has been posted. Post apocalyptic world. Some humans started being born with genetic mutations: wings. Wings are worth a lot of money on the black market because the feathers have dust on them that are used for making hallucinogenic drugs. Humans are viciously hunting angels down to make a buck. A lot of underground bunkers from the apocalypse are commandeered by GOOD humans who set them up as sanctuaries to hide angels in. Alex Albon runs a sanctuary (he's also a doctor). Charles is his right hand man, and alongside Lewis, they lead raids and missions to find angels, save them, and take out hunters. Lots of subplots in this one, but it's a lot of fun. And a lot of pain.

Alex/Logan:

1. Soulmate AU that I have not decided on yet.

Yukierre:

1. Soulmate au with soulmarks. Featuring Pierre being rejected by his soulmate which causes the biggest downward depressive spiral when his soul make disappears and another doesn't manifest in its place. Lots of angst here. Yuki saves the day.

Charles/George:

1.Inception AU - this can also fall under Pierresteban and Landoscar. It is literally just the dumb boys in the universe of Inception, invading dreams and doing very illegal things while dressed up in very fancy expensive clothes. Also they have guns.

[glitchyk]

LEGIT SHAKING AND QUIVERING/POS BUT UHHH HI IT'S THE PERSON FROM THE AU REBLOG???- I MEAN IF YOU WANNA HEAR ABT IT THEN YEA I CAN RAMBLE ABT THE SILLY AU

This'll get long sooo- STRAP IN!

Sooo the au is so far called Jekyll & Hyde, though I may end up changing it if I fogure out something better? Nfnfnfnf

ANYWAY! (you've put this upon yourself jffb) The au is basically, what if, instead of Danny gaining a ghost form and powers (and kinda actually dying). He instead splits? I'll put this into a scenario because I suck at explaining it jfjfjfjf

So picture this:

Danny walks into the portal and gets zapped. He scrambles out of the portal, terrified out of his mind cuz "HOLY SHIT DID I JUST DIE?????" He notices his hand, clad in a white glove that he was more than certain was black before. He scrambles to the nearest bathroom. Sees an unfamiliar face looking back and promptly passes out

Danny walks into the portal and gets zapped. He wakes up on the bathroom floor, confused cuz "wasn't i just in the lab???" He's concerned abt the weird displacement, but when Sam and Tucker come running in with concerned yells asking if he's okay he brushes it off in favor of reassuring his friends.

Idk if that made any sense?

Basicallyyyyy when the portal accident happened, Danny was split in two. Phantom isn't some other ghost from the ghost zone, he's just as much Danny as the now human Danny is. Both Danny and Phantom have the same set of memories feom before the accident.

"But the AU is called Jekyll & Hyde, wouldn't they have to switch places somehow?" WELL- the ghost sense is what triggers it! An ectoplasmic entity nearby? Yea Danny's boutta pass out qwq

On this basis. Danny has never seen a ghost. He can't, he's never there for any sightings. So he's CONVINCED that everyone in town has become as coocoo as his parents.

Danny still leaves for the bathroom if the ghost sense activates in class. He constantly blacks out, feels cold and lightheaded, so the Fentons took him for a med checkup with concerns of him developing a neurological condition, such as pots. They didn't find anything but just to be safe, Danny has permission to leave class when he feels unwell. Ooof course he doesn't make it all the way to the bathroom every time so there are instances where he just collapsed in the middle of a hallway heh

Aaand Phantom just thinks he's now "living" through a punishment in the afterlife, afterall, why would he always come to when there's danger and pass out afterwards? In a constant loop?

Neither Phantom nor Danny are aware of eachother here

^ this is just what arc 1 is like for em :3

(I'm so sorry to have rambled sm 😭 my brain's an unorganized mess so some things probably don't make sense???)

INLOVE THIS

Shhsjsjs the idea of it being almost two split personalities and not aware of one another? It’s so cool, and an interesting idea. Especially if like Tucker and Sam are aware of it themselves imagine seeing your friend and all like that, or them FINDING OUT and than having to awkwardly explain to both versions that he was basically split

Is vlad also like this or is he some other halfa? If so that might be interesting- in both cases, like if vlad is a usual halfa meanwhile he realizes Danny is sorta ‘split’ or wondering how, if vlad is like Danny, how he sorta functions as a villain??? Snshnsnsjs I actually love this

I love this, it’s so cool

[rodanhoax]

Jaune: *Wakes up at a table, handcuffed*

???: *Out of speaker in front of Jaune* Hello Jaune.

Jaune: W-Why am I in handcuffs?!

???: You've been randomly accepted to be part of, sort of... a game show.

Jaune: ... A game show?

???: Yes. You could call it a game show.

Jaune: Lets gooo! I love game shows, lets get it! I'm ready!

???: ... We appreciate your enthusiasm. We'll see how long that lasts. Lets go over the #1 rule. The rule is: If you die... you lose.

Jaune: Ahh, okay. So just life then.

???: What?

Jaune: That's literally just life, right? Like, you wanna NOT die?

???: Okay, but the difference is... we're trying to kill you.

Jaune: Ahh, got it.

???: Good. For your first tas-

Jaune: So basically, it's just like how 90% of nature is towards humans.

???: Shut the fuck up! Or we'll just go in there and shoot you.

Jaune: Shutting the fuck up.

???: For your first task, you will answer a set of questions.

Jaune: Oh imma dog at trivia, hit me.

???: Question - What word becomes shorter when you add two letters?

Jaune: Short.

???: Quick, but wrong. For your punishment y-... Wait, what was your answer?

Jaune: The word's short. It becomes shorter when you add 'E' 'R' to it, that's two letters. It's short.

???: ... Very good. I'm used to people getting that wrong. But that's an easy one.

Jaune: Wait, do I get points, or money, each correct answer?

???: You get to NOT DIE.

Jaune: Oh right, the theme. This is so crazy!

???: Next question - 4 cars stop at a 4 way intersection, all at the same time, and all coming from different directions. They can't decide who got there first, so they all go at once at the same speed, but no one ran into each other. How?

Jaune: Hm, they all made right turns.

(In a separate room)

Adam: Does he have his scroll under the table or something?!

Ilia: I took his scroll.

Adam: Okay but, where are you getting these questions?

Ilia: We made them!

Adam: Right!? Like, these aren't just known questions! (To Jaune) How many fingers am I holding up?! *Holds up 2 fingers*

Jaune: Two.

Adam: *Holds up 5 fingers*

Jaune: No five! It's five.

Adam: *Slams fist against table in frustration*

Adam: I got 2 buttons in front of me. Button #1 kills 100,000 people, at random. Button #2 kills the 2 most important people to you, in your life specifically! Which button do I press? You have 30 seconds.

Jaune: Ohh, that's a hard one-Button 1, press it.

Adam: Button #1? The 100,000 people one?

Jaune: Yup, hit it!

Adam: You didn't even think about it, think about it first! Are you crazy!

Jaune: I thought about it.

Adam: You're gonna kill 100,000 people, instead of just 2?

Jaune: Is that... not the right answer?

Adam: No that's not the right-There is no right answer! It's supposed to be a hard choice!

Jaune: Well... it wasn't. I don't know what to tell you.

Adam: Well, you just killed 100,000 people. Congratulations.

Jaune: No I didn't.

Adam: Yes you did! You picked option 1!

Jaune: Yeah, I did, but I didn't push a button. All I did was answer questions while handcuffed and trapped in a room. If this was real, you would be the perpetrator.

Adam: IT IS RE- *Takes a second to breath and relax*

Adam: On your table, there are 2 cups. One is poison, the other-

Jaune: *Immediately grabs a glass and drinks it*

Adam: Okay you can just go. I unlocked the door. Leave.

Jaune: What? I lost?

Adam: GET OUT!

Jaune: I drank the fake poison?

Adam: AAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH

Spoilers for both digital devil saga 1 and 2

I wanna hear what some of you all think. But i belive the core idea of digital devil saga is about redeeming one's mistakes and regrets .

Out of our main cast only Cielo and Gale haven't done anything they could regret either in this current life or carry over from their past lives.

Argilla and Serph original self directly intervened in the tragedy from 5 years ago and while them not being the same person, you could see how they carry the karma from their past. And while Argilla does die before learning this, Serph has to come to terms with this fact.

Heat both affected the course of what happen 5 years ago as well as killed Serph. Wich he ends up regretting and it directly affects how the rest of the games plays out, as the cast slowly dies to prevent the fallout from this event.

Roland blames himself for the death of Greg. Regardless of how true this blame is as who don't actually know what happened Roland needs to come to terms about what happen and he ends amending his mistake by sacrificing himself.

Here is a controversial one: While sera is not one you could blame for what happened to her, you can see how she could regret what happens in the game after all.

This can also be seen in more secondary characters such as Jenna who ends up regretting what she did.

And in that super cheese ending of the game where the clear idea is to forgive humanities mistake and try to make a new better world from what we have.

In the end they all travel to the sun and save the world at th cost of their own lives, but the solved the main issue being the sun destroying. This is one of the most likely reasons why Roland doesn't need to join back if you did correctly the answers for heat. Heat needs to feel his regret, while Roland is already feeling lighter from his regret.

[spooky-something]

WARNING;

we're about to seriously yap and put out some hot fucking takes about Phantom of the Opera, so if you're sensitive to that/don't wanna hear that, scroll.

We finally finished POTO, and what I can say; hot take; This is a fucking nightmare that just DOESN'T deserve the fame it has. It's awful . /Hj The writing itself is okay, it can be really good at times, but I hate the way it's framed; having Leroux litteraly self insert himself as the narrator, which could've worked, but for me, it just doesn't. It would've been great, had that narrator not litteraly been himself, but because it's him, it not only takes away from the realism he tried to built via this, but also comes ass as SUPER, SUPER annoying at times. The story itself is just cluttered, way too cluttered; the unnecessary details, events, attempts at shifting narratives that could've been better done/explained quickly and more efficiently, it's a lot. Some examples are the "Rat Catcher"; entirely unnecessary additional, why the fuck was he even there (It was so bad, we started cackling mid class because it was so fucking random)???? Or the random "apparition" added, again, for no reason. None of these were mentioned before, nor explained whatsoever; the "apparition" litteraly being wrote off by LEROUX HIMSELF as "something I cannot explain". Which, in my opinion, is extremely stupid. I don't care if it's for the "mystery factor", because, considering there was already far too much going on, and plenty of OTHER mystery elements, adding something just because with no purpose was and IS obnoxious. All it does it make the story you're trying to tell more convoluted, which was exactly what we felt while reading. Yet, the MAIN issue, the characters, and by extension, the message Leroux is so DESPERATELY trying to convey with them. I am going to say the hottest fucking take known to man; I fucking DESPISE Erik, and litteraly, ONLY kept reading because of the fact I knew he'd die at the end, and I wanted that satisfaction (was so disappointed his death was so vague and lame...). I understand why people can feel bad, at least, PARTIALLY, but the amount of fucking love and DEFENDING I see for him is ACTUALLY INSANE. Erik is

A. A fucking murderer

B. A stalker

C. An abuser

D. A manipulator (And, gaslighter, by extension)

E. A thief

F. An (ALMOST) terrorist (litteraly tried to blow up the entire opera)

G. A liar

H. A kidnapper

And

I (This stands for:). An incel (This one's more of a "joke", as the rest are all litteraly book canon, but he is literally an incel; he checks all the boxes), and yet, people out pour him with support; the amount of apologists is crazy. I've even seen people compare him to THE CREATURE (Frankenstein) which is just NOT CORRECT AT ALL???? They have similarities, yeah, but the amount of differences is insane.

1. Erik is a litteral millionaire (Yeah, I did the math for the amount of francs he got then for American dollars, now, and it was at LEAST, like 2 million...)

2. Erik IS human, biologically; yeah, he was treated differently, but he still had the COMFORT of knowing he was a human, that he was, in at least some form compared to the Creature "natural"

3. Erik was raised by his family (yes, they were abusive, and I'm not saying they weren't, but he HAD PARENTS, AND AN EDUCATION; I think, idar if he was educated or not, but my point still stands: he had a family)

4. Erik, despite the novel trying so hard to say otherwise, was HIGHLY respected; HE LITERALLY WORKED WITH ROYALTY????

5. Erik HAD FRIENDS???? Once more, not only did he work with royalty, he had the Persian/Daroga, which, again, despite how much the novel tries to say otherwise, was very clearly a friend; very clearly someone who DID care about him (if he didn't, why would he save his life even AFTER LITTERALY TORTURING PEOPLE???)

6. Erik, AGAIN, is denied humanity nearly as much as it's painted; he litteraly mentions how he wanted to be normal, and so, applied for a normal ass construction job at the Opera, AND GOT IT NO QUESTIONS ASKED???

[lazaruspiss]

sladedicktalia??????? i am LISTENING

there's like. 5 fics. im so starved. i think theyre so hot and funny together!! im obsessed. also this got long so im adding a readmore. whoops.

SlaDick: classic enemies to lovers. they may try to kill each other half the time but they respect each other more than anyone else. OBSESSED with each other, Slade knows he's weird about Dick and couldn't care less but Dick is so in denial about it. they could both give explicit consent but be so antagonistic about it that it becomes unclear if "yes i want to have sex with you" is actually code for "die right now" and i think that's beautiful.

SladeTalia: they fucked! in canon! there was some bullshit plotline where Talia tried to give Slade Damian and pretend he was his son instead! ex fuck buddies who show up just to make each other's lives harder bc they wanna fuck so bad it makes them have stupid brain. also they're both hot as hell. i'm weak for big strong milf/dilf idk idk.

DickTalia: LISTEN TO ME. TALIA WOULD TREAT HIM RIGHT. THEY BOTH KNOW HOW EMOTIONALLY DEVASTATING IT IS TO LOVE BRUCE. LISTEN TO M- ok aside from that. Talia is someone who tried so hard to be good, to choose to be kind. She loved Bruce because she saw how hard he tried to do good in the world. Her character has gotten considerably colder over time, in huge part due to a certain writer writing about her despite knowing nothing about her, but in universe i try and rationalize it as a growing cynicism stemming from both her father's gradually increasing cruelty and Bruce's failure to support her or commit to her or to even just respect her. She hasn't been shown to have very many people in her life who she can really trust and be close to. She used to have a good relationship with Ra's, she used to have Bruce, she's even lost Damian at this point. She feels like such a lonely character to me. And I think Dick would be able to see that, be able to understand it better than most. He's always had people who loved him, people he could turn to, but he's also ended up perpetually isolated for one reason or another. Dick and Talia both feel to me like characters who are so lonely the further they get in their lives. I could see a silent understanding there. The kind of people who would be able to find solace in simply sharing a space with each other. Neither of them like to talk about what they've been through, I think they'd like to have someone who just gets it. Trauma for trauma, you know?

SlaDickTalia: several angles available here.

1) Dick deserves some sexy older lovers who would wine and dine him and also rail him within an inch of his life and also kill for him. i am not immune to the aesthetics!! to the allure of a hot older duo double teaming their young spitfire partner!!!

2) corruption arc. u know u wanna.

3) Dick's fear of abandonment x the 2 most devoted people on the planet. if they were dating nothing bad would happen to Dick again, Slade and Talia just wouldn't allow that. smth smth, couldn't get rid of them if he tried <3

4) Bruce would hate it and that's always fun :3 not that that's hard tho, Babs is like the only one of Dick's partners that Bruce liked and that's bc he wants to keep it in the family.

5) healing.... sobs...... esp when it comes to feelings around parenthood. Those three have shit to work out and i think having some company would help.

6) They all need more people time but 2/3 of them don't get along with anybody so they're kinda stuck with Dick. that kid will forgive anybody if u bat ur eyelashes and behave well enough. He's also more likely to still see them as people despite everything they've been through, and when you're a military experiment and a semi immortal daughter of an immortal terrorist... It can be hard to find someone who looks at you like you still have a chance at humanity.

7) Slade and Talia playing a Cat Vs Dog type game with Dick in the middle. I think it's funny.

Be More Ghost Chapter 6: Be More Ghost (Pt. 1)

Summary:

A Be More Chill AU where Danny gets a Super Quantum Intel Unit Processor (or Squip) to help him become cool and win over Valerie, but things don't really go as planned.

Masterpost | AO3 Link | Word Count: 1,903

Oh, everything about you is so terrible.  Woah, everything about you makes me wanna die (again). So don’t freak out and don’t resist and have no doubt if I assist first and foremost be more ghost.

The cooler version of Phantom hovered around Danny, taking him in disapprovingly. 

Take your hands out of your pockets. The Squip commanded.

Danny was a little confused, but he did so. He didn’t really know what to do with his hands though, so he started to fidget, rubbing one hand against his arm nervously. 

Arch your back, puff out your chest. Squip-Phantom poked him in the back and Danny took a step forward involuntarily. Wasn’t this thing only in his brain? How was it able to touch him? He turned around to face the Squip and saw it had its arms crossed. 

You really need to fix your posture. 

Danny was so used to slouching when he was in human form it felt wrong to stand up straight. He had formed that habit when he was still concerned about keeping his identities as separate as possible to keep his secret. But really, if no one had noticed at this point, being the same height as Phantom probably wouldn’t make a difference. 

Danny looked up to see if the Squip was happy with his posture, but it was still frowning. 

All your nerdiness is ugly.

“Nerd?” Danny looked down at this usual NASA T-shirt and jeans. “Um, I thought I was more of a geek but-”

All your stammering’s a chore. The Squip held a finger in front of Danny’s mouth to silence him. 

“Uh- um- what?” Danny stammered. 

Squip-Phantom facepalmed. Your tics and fidgets are persistent. You have no charm. You really need to fix your vibe. Actually, there’s a lot we’re going to need to fix here. 

“But-” Danny started, unconsciously putting his hands back in his packets.

Buh! The Squip whacked his hands and Danny pulled them back out. 

“I-”

Buh, the Squip scolded.

“Wha-” 

No.

“Wait-”

Stop.

Danny cringed and kept fidgeting. He was doing everything wrong. The Squip seemed to agree.

Everything about you is so terrible.

Danny took a step back, but Squip-Phantom took a step forward and put both its hands on his shoulders. 

Everything about you makes me want to die. Danny could see the glow in Squip-Phantom’s eyes flaring through its sunglasses.

“Ancients!” Danny phased out of the Squip’s grasp. This was a lot. He was starting to-

Don’t freak out, the Squip seemed to read his mind, and don’t resist- and don’t doubt me! I will help you be more chill. 

Danny wasn’t very reassured. He didn’t realize he had started to slouch until he felt an electric shock on his back that startled him into standing up straight again.

“Ow! Did you just shock me?” Danny hated being shocked. Easily number one on his top ten least favorite feelings.

Spinal stimulation. You were slouching, the Squip said flippantly, ignoring Danny’s glare. 

“Don’t do that!” You’d think someone who looks like Phantom, who partly died from electrocution, would understand why Danny wouldn’t want to be shocked if it was avoidable. Ever. But this was just a computer, not actually Phantom. It probably wasn’t programmed to deal with his ghost-related issues.

Squip-Phantom seemed to falter for a second as if Danny’s response was unexpected. 

Oh. I see. I will refrain from that kind of encouragement in the future. Squip-Phantom prodded Danny’s back, which made him realize he was slouching again. 

Well, at least the Squip wasn’t totally awful. And he really did have bad posture, so the less painful reminders would be good.

Squip-Phantom nodded its head and looked Danny up and down. First things first, go buy a new shirt.

“What’s wrong with my-” Danny gripped the bottom of his NASA shirt. The Squip shushed him.

It’s better if you just comply. It’s my job to make you less pathetic, so just do what I say and don’t ask questions.

Danny just nodded and walked toward the closest clothing store. This Squip knew how to make him cool, so he should probably follow its instructions.

He walked up to a self that had a bunch of different shirts on display and Squip-Phantom pointed at one.

Pick that one.

Danny held up the shirt and looked at Squip-Phantom questioningly. “It has a picture of Chip Skylark. Do people still listen to Chip Skylark?”

Irrelevant. Squip-Phantom waved its hand. My quantum structure enables me to envision possible futures. I envision a future in which you wear a Chip Skylark shirt and things turn out well. 

That made Danny’s eyebrows raise. What the Squip had described wasn’t quite as good as Clockwork’s power to actually see and interact with alternate timelines, but it was impressive that this technology had some ability to predict the future. 

Danny looked back at the shirt. “But I don’t know anything about him. What if someone quizzes me on his music?”

My database is infinite and instantaneous.

That also caught Danny’s attention. With that kind of access to information, maybe he could finally get Mr. Lancer’s assignments done before some ghost fight distracted him from homework.

“How are you with English homework?”

I’m a super-computer, Danny. I can generate an essay faster than you can blink. Squip-Phantom gave him a smug smile.

Okay, that would be pretty cool. 

You know, everything about you is so terrible.

Danny turned to the Squip in surprise. Where had that come from?

Squip-Phantom took a step closer to Danny, glowing green eyes just inches from his face. From this close, Danny could count the glowing freckles on its nose.

Everything about you makes me wanna die… Again. Squip-Phantom sneered at him. 

Danny took a step back. Why was the Squip saying this? Was it right? Danny didn’t have a rebuttal. He just stared at his warped ghostly reflection as it bullied him.

All the people in the mall think you are such a slob. The Squip gestured around. Danny saw several other people in the clothing section he was in. Some of them did seem to glance his way when he looked. Danny looked down at himself again. Maybe he was a slob. He really was terrible, just like the Squip said. 

Now, you try picking a shirt, Squip-Phantom pointed to the shelves next to Danny. 

Danny perused the shirts on display. There was a pink shirt with Sayonara Pussycat, a Dumpty Humpty band shirt, and a T-shirt with a ghost on it that said “It’s not gay if he’s dead.” Danny smiled when he saw the ghost shirt. He took a step toward the shelf to grab it but tripped.

“Ah!” Danny’s body knocked against the shelf and he accidentally went intangible for a second, which also made the shelf intangible. There was a soft crash as several shirts went through the shelf and landed on shelves below where they were before.

Danny unstuck himself from the shelf and found one of the shirts had landed in his hand. It was black and had a bunch of skulls on it. Danny thought it was something Sam might wear.

That’s a goth shirt. The Squip didn’t sound impressed. 

“Yeah, that’s not the one I was going to choose.” Danny turned around and took a step closer to the shelf and accidentally brushed against someone’s arm. Danny’s eyes widened when he realized It was Paulina. Star was right behind her.

“S-s-sorry!” Danny stammered. “OW!” He jolted as the Squip poked his back forcefully. 

Posture.

Danny shot a glance behind him and scowled at the Squip. He rubbed his back in pain. At least it was better than an electric shock. 

“Danny?” Paulina looked at him, puzzled. “You shop here?”

“Oh yeah, all the time-” Danny rubbed the back of his neck. 

Never, the Squip corrected. It was now floating next to Danny.

“Never. Is what I meant to…” 

Greet the beta. Squip-Phantom pointed to Star. 

“The…?” It took a second to realize what Squip-Phantom meant. “Oh. Hey Star.”

Say “You look sexy.”

“I can’t say that to a cute girl!” Danny whispered to the Squip. “OW” Danny looked at the Squip in surprise after it punched him in the arm.

Don’t smile. Stare intensely. Speak like you don’t care about your own death. 

“I mean, I already half-died once so…” Danny murmured.

So this should be easy for you.

Danny looked Star in the eyes, staring as intensely as he could without making them glow green.

“Lookin’ pretty sexy, Star,” Danny said, feeling ridiculous. Despite the overwhelming urge to cringe, he managed to keep his face neutral.

“Thanks.” Star beamed at him. It was nice, since she had never looked at him like that before.

“Is that a goth shirt?” Paulina pointed at the shirt Danny had forgotten he was holding. Danny glanced down at it, a little bit embarrassed.

“No.”

Yes.

“I mean, yes,” Danny corrected himself. 

Repeat after me- “I saw it in the window and I couldn’t dismiss-“

“I saw it in the window and I couldn’t dismiss,” Danny repeated. 

I was dating a guy and he had a shirt just like this.

“I was dating a guy and he had a shirt just like this.” Danny raised his eyebrows at the Squip. Where was it going with this? 

It’s still painful.

“It’s stiiillllll paaaaainful,” Danny might have exaggerated the statement a bit. He was trying to sell it. The Squip raised an eyebrow at him.

“So who was this mystery guy?” Paulina put a hand on her hip. She didn’t look convinced.

“Uh,” Danny scrambled. “Um, You’ve probably never heard of him-”

Gregor. 

“Gregor,” Danny said without thinking. Wait, Gregor? Wasn’t he the-

“What?” Paulina interrupted his train of thought. Oh right, Gregor was the exchange student that Sam dated once. 

“He’s Hungarian,” Danny said.

“Ugh! He is NOT Hungarian!” Paulina stomped her foot. “He just pretends to be, for attention.” 

“Gregor broke up with you?” Star put a sympathetic hand on Danny’s shoulder.

“Yeah…” Danny started to nod.

No.

“I mean-”

I broke up with him.

“I broke up with him!” Danny clutched his chest dramatically. 

‘Cause he was cheating on me.

“‘Cause he was cheating on meeeeeee!” Danny cried, falling to his knees. 

The Squip slapped the side of his head.

Hey Hamlet, be more chill!

Danny got up and rubbed his arms anxiously. It seems like Paulina and Star weren’t that bothered by his overdramatic display. Instead, they were arguing. 

“What did I tell you!” Paulina gestured at Star. “Gregor’s the worst!”

Star turned to Danny and smiled at him.

“You are so much better off without him, Danny,” Star said.

“Obviously! I mean, who does Gregor think he is?” Paulina started ranting, and Star nodded along sympathetically.

“What just happened?” Danny asked the Squip.  

A shared negative opinion is the fastest way to make a social bond. If you want someone to like you, you can just hate who they hate, Squip-Phantom explained.

That… made a lot of sense. Danny thought about the time a bunch of ghosts had banded together to overtake Pariah Dark’s army. They all only got along because they hated the ghost king. But Danny had never thought the same idea would work for social situations like this.

Danny, that’s why I’m here. I’m going to help you.

Danny nodded. He was glad that he had the Squip’s help.

185.2章：放下？还是压抑？可贺，抑或可悲？

// Chapter 185.2: Detachment v. Repression

This ramble concerns To Your Eternity manga Chapter 185.2. It is edited from a conversation between (yea you guessed it) @bestbonnist and me after the chapter dropped before I had to hastily run off because sorry gotta see shits with my Besto Furrendo! Lisan al-Ghaib! Lisan al-Ghaib!!!

Although this chapter is devoid of hype moments—unlike C184.1 where plenty of us were sent into a frenzy— and good old macabre, this is genuinely one of my favorite chapters to date.

Because it became a really nice philosophical discussion between friends. Sounds a tad cheesy when I say it like that...

(1) Two Different Perspectives on Fushi's Latest State of Mind

Ray expressed dismay that Fushi's coping mechanism seems to gave become even more terrible because they are essentially repressing their emotions. They are telling themself not to feel anything and to be detached. In the Wish Era, Fushi seemed to have become more resigned to their fate, which became starkly apparent when contrasted by the Doll and Andy's loud, outward desire to see Abel live.

That dismal observation actually stunned me—because I happened to see this development in a positive light. What better state of mind should Fushi aspire to attain apropos to their immortality... if not a state of non-attachment? After all, if they don't learn to be so, then the sheer impermanence of life will torment them forever. To me, non-attachment—or in a more English-natural manner of speaking, detachment—is a goal worthy of pursuing, even if it is often fraught with erratic instances such as mistaking "repressing one's emotions" as similar to "being genuinely unperturbed."

----

(2) The Benefits of Attachment

In this story's universe, attachment keeps a person's faie (their soul) around.

Hence, to Ray, Fushi's loss of attachment implies their death (which I agree is a reasonable projection for the end of this story). When they no longer have anything to do—no goal—then it is time for them to move on.

But more than that, there's this other thing Ray is worried about. The manga asked whether Fushi is human, especially in its earlier exploration. Whether they think they are human. Therefore, it's hard to see Fushi's detachment as anything other than dehumanizing themself ("I'm not human so I don't deserve to be attached/feel bad when people I care about die.") It's one step to Fushi's progression into becoming a deity at the expense of their humanity.

This prospect is upsetting because they wanna see Fushi leave as a human being, as someone who dies after living a satisfying life like Yuuki did.

Ray also argued that there's a difference between acceptance and detachment. "Acceptance is acknowledging that something is out of your control and acknowledging that the way you feel about that." To them, Fushi seemed to have acknowledged that something was out of their control, but they hadn't yet acknowledged their feelings toward it.

Then, they conceded that while Fushi was frank about being pained by people leaving, ultimately, the dude seemed deadset on trying to ignore that pain altogether. "Fushi isn't good at being 'above' feeling things!"

I agree with this. Of course, they aren't! One of Fushi's powers is supernatural empathy. They can't ignore the sensation of pain or (occasionally) love in their vicinity even if they try. Feeling shit is what they do, willingly or not. And from an emotional connection like that, one easily forms attachments.

---

(3) The Common Error: Mistaking Detachment with Apathy

Strangely, at that point in our conversation, it became clear that Ray thought Fushi should not be detached because it stops them from accepting death—while I think Fushi should learn to be detached because it helps them to accept death. Same destination, but different ways of assessing detachment as a path.

Now, of course, when I use the term "detachment" or "non-attachment" (preferred), I'm once again drawing it from a Buddhist philosophical perspective. Because dude, it's me, 睿得失。You fucking signed up for this the moment you talk to me, bwaahhahahahaha!

Even Buddhists, born and raised, often make the mistake of conflating "equanimity," which non-attachment encourages, with "apathy."

One of the four sublime qualities (brahmavihārā), equanimity (upekkhā) is the state of being unwavering and unperturbed even in the face of loss and gain [1], good-repute and ill-repute, praise and censure, and sorrow and happiness. Its far enemies—as in, its direct contrasting vices—are greed and resentment. But its near enemy—the quality mendaciously close to equanimity—is apathy.

[1] Just a little aside: this is why I joked that Fushi should take up my self-given Chinese name in our conversation. 睿得失 means "being wise (about one's) gain and loss." The hope of attaining some semblance of upekkha is built into the name already.

Plenty of people think being detached means being uncaring and indifferent, and that it has some elements of dehumanization to it—be it to other people or to yourself. But it's not. Being detached is to keep a balance between concern and coercion. It's expressing compassion while being mindful not to conflate your genuine care with your desire to will things and people to bend to the state or situation you wanted.

Fushi and us mortals could easily realize one fact about life: it is truly impermanent. The desire to impose our will on the universe—as if there is some supernatural feature to our will that can influence things to happen—is a source of agitation. Life doesn't bend to our will; it indifferently stays impermanent even when we demand it to be permanent in some sort of personal bliss.

In Buddhist thought, it's our actions and intentions that impart changes. Our will (and our demanding desires) don't. We'll revisit this in our 5th Chapter later.

In other words! Contrary to Ray's interpretation, I see being detached not as imposing a limit on your compassion but liberating it from constraints. Now that you're detached, your mode of compassion is centered around the situation and people as they are, not as you hope them to be. True compassion asks for nothing in return—not because you suppress your demands, but because you genuinely have none to begin with.

(4) Fushi's Laudable Baby Steps

What really made me think that Fushi had grown here was their insistence that whether Abel lives or dies is "his decision to make."

Not Fushi's, despite their god-like powers. Not Doll or Andy, despite their love and attachment to Abel. It's Abel's choice. All Fushi can do is to accept whatever the man says—and that acceptance is only possible if they begin practicing detachment. After all, attachment results in the reactions Doll and Andy expressed.

To me, Fushi is taking a step in the right direction already. This is the kind of wisdom I think an immortal, most of all, should gradually pick up (I also think mortals like us should, too, but that's beside the point).

Here is where I think Ray's criticisms warrant merits in my interpretation: Actually practicing detachment/non-attachment is hard as fuck. I wouldn't deny that though it doesn't make you an apathetic non-human, you're not gonna be very normal-humanlike if you manage to be equanimous either. While learning to be detached, one often takes up a lot of problematic tactics and mistakes it to be detachment.

One such misguided tactic? Suppression of emotions. You force yourself to pretend you're not feeling anything instead of facing them and realizing their falsity while believing you're being detached. So Ray's concerns are completely warranted, because I don't believe Fushi has consummated their learning either. They wouldn't have lied about the massacre if they were really that detached.

Repressing your emotion, as a tactic, is wrong, but it is the hallmark of someone who's trying to get there, especially when you compound it with the philosophy Fushi was articulating. They care. But they are also being clear-eyed about the limits of their demand.

I don't think they seem resigned here. I think they are being wise. Baby steps, and their method is imperfect, but good nonetheless.

(5) Yuuki the GOAT and His Biggest W Yet

Fushi grappled with wanting to impose their will to make others live as long as they in the Modern Arc, right? That's one of their biggest and most constant sources of dukkha (dissatisfaction/suffering). But Yuuki's satisfying death and life... actually steered him in the right direction!

Fushi didn't come to earn detachment because of some horrible, tragic death turning them jaded and cynical. They learned because Yuuki's life and death were that fucking good.

Learning philosophy from pain is all well and good. It is usually how people learn it (few would give a fuck about existentialism or Buddhist philosophy or stoicism or what-have-you if they weren't in a personal crisis). But learning philosophy from joy is a whole other thing. Whatever you learned from that instance has no hint of jadedness and cynicism to corrupt your thinking; it's like making a decision when you're at the most optimal state.

This is Yuuki's victory. He influenced and taught Fushi without giving him pain or trauma to live by. He was not some main character of a tragedy despite outwardly looking like a bumbling normie.

Think about it: none of the Immortals who were attached to Fushi, until now, had been capable of influencing and teaching them without accidentally leaving some grief, pain, and trauma!

Why does Fushi take on Yuuki's form so much lately—if not because Yuuki is the only one who managed to teach them without the use of pain or trauma or anything like that?

And as Ray pointed out, Yuuki was the form embodying "Peace." Even his death was offscreen and peaceful. On a bed, unpoisoned and unhurt. Fushi remembers him constantly because he makes them feel at ease.

"It's our actions and intentions that impart changes," that was what I mentioned in Chapter 3 of this long-ass ramble. Here it is exemplified. People inherit the fruits of other people's actions (and you yourself are one of those who will inherit your own actions, too). And well? These are the fruits of Yuuki's actions that Fushi continues to reap even now.

That's how complete Yuuki's W is. He managed to leave just the kind of food for thought for an Immortal that eventually set them up to grasp the kind of wisdom they lacked. Who says the Modern Arc has no lessons?

----

(6) Conclusion, or The Abrupt Ending of a Conversation

As you can tell, I really don't think Fushi's latest development is bad. Bittersweet and a bit of a mixed bag, sure, but I ultimately think it's commendable rather than worrisome. Of course, my ass interpreting things through a Buddhist lens has a lot to do with it, but brutha, this is exactly my niche! You should have seen me talk about non-self vis-a-vis Fushi in a YouTube comment section!

Ray did leave this paragraph that had eluded me because, again, the Muaa'dib was calling me and I really gotta go:

"I have a potential counter-argument for you, which is about how Fushi's ideal person to follow is kind of a mix of Yuuki (as you explained) and Kahaku (bag of mess and you haven't read that part of the present era anyways), which is putting the concept of detachment together with a really selfish kind of selflessness (as we talked about). But I'm not clear on whether that's still there after their fight with the left hand. I feel like it's lingering a little but I haven't seen much evidence for it in the wish era."

Now, I don't really know what that whole bit was like because I didn't actually read all of the Modern Arc—just the latter half. But again, "detachment" and "self-lessness" are complementary and forward-feeding to one another in Buddhist Philosophy, so on this concept alone, I don't see a clash.

I should probably clarify what Ray's "selfish kind of selflessness" meant here, but... I'm kinda tired now. And I've briefly touched on this in my essay about... Gojo Satoru, goddamn it.

Or maybe Ray should explain it themself! I distinctly remember someone owing me like, 3 essays or something. I'm such a kindhearted person I'm willing to give them a discount and accept just one essay for this week, though. Don't squander it, you!

Thank you for reading my ramble.
