#I hope it's true that they are both in deadpool 3

[dynsito]

I'm sad, I'm sad for them because they are both alone and it was the last thing Loki wanted to be and Mobius doesn't know what to do and they are both alone. Did I say they are both alone? because they are

[f-extabyte]

I have an actual lore theory for how Deadpool & Wolverine ties into the main MCU timeline both in the present and the future

SPOILERS /// don’t read if u haven’t watched deadpool 3

So this theory is entirely based on @wadesknife’s post if proven true: https://www.tumblr.com/wadesknife/761448908631261184/something-i-havent-seen-anyone-comment-on-yet-is

if it IS Loki’s idea to bring Deadpool into the MCU, he’s FOR SURE gonna be one of the main villains for the next phase.

My theory is that Loki wants to bring Wade into his universe solely in hopes of them joining forces to cause chaos, and to take over Earth or whatever his queer heart desires.

But little does Loki know that his plan already backfired bc of what happens after Deadpool 3’s events, cuz now it’s resulted in Wade bringing LOGAN into the MCU as well, and their old man yaoi relationship keeps the both of them mentally stable and good-hearted. Once Loki finds this out, I’m positive he’s gonna try to break the couple up somehow in future MCU movies.

(I’m hyping myself up at this point becaUSE OH MY GOD. ID FUCKING KILL FOR A LOKI/WADE/LOGAN INTERACTION SCENE. Like imagine Loki either tries to convince both of them to join his side or kidnaps one of them (preferably Logan) and the other has to save him in space. I bet it’s one of Wade’s nonsexual fantasies to save Logan from villains like a damsel in distress (but he’s the Wolverine, so everyone’s already dead by the time Wade arrives lol)

THIS ALSO COULD TIE INTO WHY THOR WAS CRYING. cuz yea it’s played out as a running gag in Deadpool 3, but now i have two ideas for how this scene plays into the plot in the future:

- First, this confirms that Wade and Thor will meet and become friends ;) but either Thor doesn’t know wade has regeneration abilities OR they both make their own secret plan to take Loki down.

- So the crying scene is either Loki in disguise as Deadpool, and he’s manipulating his brother that his new friend is dying in front of him, OR Wade and Thor are reenacting Loki’s sacrifice for a specific purpose- or for shits n giggles (either is completely true and accurate to their characters hdkgnsskgns)

Having major mixed feelings about RDJ playing Dr Doom, peeps.

On the one hand, I'm like... the Iron Man, is now playing a villain?

Let's not forget that the actor isn't the character, as some people tend to do so. He's playing a different character. But it still feels... sad? Is that the word?

RDJ's Iron Man became a kind of symbol in the real world too, not just in fantasy. Time has been tough on many of us so maybe we dig a little too deeply into our little fantasy getaways, but to have RDJ now embody the villain? Yeah, that's a little... ouch.

And a little awesome.

Confusing too.

Infuriating.

Trouble is, RDJ has a presence and he brought humanity to his Tony Stark role. If they don't get someone to match that level of charisma on the opposing team, if they don't find an actor or actress able to make us empathise with them even when they're being a massive clusterfuck of a hero, or if they make them the embodiment of perfection instead of relatable, then... well, it's a problem. No one's going to root for the new band of heroes if the villain's more sympathetic.

TS will always be RDJ and vice versa. He brings with him Pepper, Happy, Rhodey, Peter etc. Associating the actor with both the biggest hero AND the villain? My brain doesn't know what to do!

Here's hoping whatever he does with the character, or whatever the executives decide, it doesn't disrespect his role as IM.

On the other hand, I can't imagine how pissed Dr Doom fans are knowing that once again, there fav is being represented by the wrong ethnicity.

I had a similar negative reaction to Scarlet Johannsen being cast as BW. I ended up liking her her but it still itches. She didn't even manage the accent!

My expectations need to learn to cool it but it doesn't change how I feel.

Now, RDJ is a great actor. I have no doubt he can pull it off, but MCU near destroyed my love for marvel after endgame and that alongside the shit coming out in the comics in the last few years? The way MCU stopped being a place filled with hope? They'd have to do something truly special to bring me back into it.

Hysterically Deadpool and Wolverine have my blessing because in 3 seconds they brought back some feels. Irondad feels, days of cheesy older marvel movie feels etc.

I like dark stories. I don't need the sunshine and rainbows others do, but we dealt with TS's death, then Steve fucking off in a heel turn decision and creating a plot hole the size California, Peter's worst nightmare coming true and having to live with it forever, don't get get me started on rhodey and Wanda etc...

We're never getting closure or healing for TS's death 😂. We're just not guys. It's not something we can easily accept, if at all. So this whole thing feels great and terrible and awful and nostalgic and brutal and intriguing and and and and...

So, yeah. I get the discord.

But RDJ's great.

But I love Iron Man and his legacy even as I hate that they killed him off.

But Dr Doom's something I've been waiting to see!

BUT LOOK AT WHAT THEY GAVE US IN ENDGAME. WE'LL GET SCREWED OVER AGAIN.

BUT!

WHAT

IF

GUH

Yeah, there's a lot. We shall see.

After all, we're all used to a lack of satisfying closure.

[doomreed]

I’m not hyped about the new fantastic four news either. though I think what I kind of hope will happen is marvel doing something like they did in the last mcu spider man movie where we see 3 peter parkers team up.

I think it would be super cool to see the cast from the 2005-2007 fantastic four movie meet with the ones from the newest movie. and have the 2005-2007 Doom (Julian McMahon) meet with the Doom from this upcoming fantastic four film too.

so we have more than one “fantastic four” team and also more than one Victor von Doom in the same movie. that would be pretty epic to see in my humble opinion. (if this really is the case, I still have hope that marvel won’t mess it up, because it sure has the potential to be great.)

I mean marvel did just very recently confirm that all the events prior to the mcu (so… sony’s spider man and fantastic four) are also canon to the mcu, and I doubt they would say that if they didn’t plan to do something with it (they said it after the event of the last spider man movie with 3 peter parkers), especially when mcu is heavily heading towards the direction of multiverse, various timelines, various variants of the same person (character) right now. I mean we basically have 3 peter parkers (from both sony and mcu) and literally a bunch of lokis. so let’s see what’ll happen next.

also not related to the topic but I should just say that I’ve been a fan of your blog for some time now. thank you for all the DoomReed goodies

The only part of the casting I agree with is Ben. It feels like Marvel is playing it extremely safe with casting Pedro, like since Multiverse of Madness they've clearly been aiming for the "soft dad" angle with Reed, probably in an attempt to get ahead of possible complaints about him based on canon? I love Reed Richards to a fault, but he's always been a little bit of an asshole. Not intentionally, and much of that perceived assholeness stems from him being on the spectrum imo but it's there, and ignoring that does him as much a disservice as playing up Tony's alcoholism purely for laughs and then never mentioning it again was to that character--another thing the MCU has done.

The poster, the casting, idk. It radiates a nuclear-family blandness, with a camp overlay used purely for aesthetics that will probably be quite popular with general audiences and leave F4 fans from the comics and old movies and other sources of media quite cold. We are not the audience Marvel Studios wishes to court, they've made that very clear.

I'd love to be wrong about how this will play out, though. Pedro is a gifted character actor when he's allowed to be, the trouble is, studios know too well how much audiences love him as a person, and are too prone to mixing the two to improve audiences' appreciation of a character he's playing, rather than just letting the man cook. 😔

I don't have a firm opinion of the other cast other than: this will be the most money anyone named Kirby has ever made on Fantastic Four, so good on her. 👍 And the Ben casting feels right. I'm outside the Johnny demographic so no real opinion there.

I had read that the baddie for the first movie will be Galactus, which is like leading your football season with the Superbowl? But no one asked me, so... 😅 maybe they have a set up that will make that work, who can say.

I've also read (on reddit, so make of that what you will) that Doom will have a "cameo" in the first movie, but no clue what that means or even of it's true.

I like your idea a lot. I think the Deadpool & Wolverine movie will have a Fantastic Four cameo of some kind, probably. The comic book we see in the trailer next to Wade's head on the desert world is Secret Wars #5, which is a recap of the story so far and how everyone got to where they are--so it's possible the desert world they're all on is Battleworld, run either by future-verse Doom or (more likely) the Beyonder. I do think the movie will include them in some way bc the studio will want to start building hype for that as their next big project, going into the MCU version of Secret Wars.

And ofc SW will have crossovers galore, since Marvel Studios has unfortunately set audience expectations for that being what it's about 😅 so, worst case, they'll turn up between those two films no doubt.

I'd love to see Julian McMahon's Doom encounter a closer-to-comic-canon version, but a thing to know about Victor is that he kills every variant of himself he meets. Like, historically, that's just his thing (it's an expression of his own self-loathing, which is really tragic in a way) ...I dunno if the MCU will carry that fun little trait over, but as a writer I can say it's an easy, low-stakes way of showing "this character is a bad guy and also there is something very wrong with him" so... yanno. I am expecting it. 😁

Sorry for the negativity on this, I'm trying to stay upbeat about it all but so far they're not inspiring confidence yet. We'll see what future developments bring, if nothing else we'll always have fanart and fics and the comics themselves. It's not like this fandom hasn't dealt with bad adaptations before, I think we'll be alright whatever happens.

[blankhound]

Mine and my friend Emma's spider OCs we've made! Finally collated them altogether lol (as always open for better quality)

Close ups, original drawings, and extra info for each under the cut

White-Weaver (xe/xem)! Xey are based on the St Andrews Cross spider and the White-Tailed spider (both from Australia) because I love them so much. St Andrews have two defence mechanisms - vibrating their webs so fast it scares off predators and launching themselves off their webs into the bush so their predators can't find them. White Tails aren't actually all that poisonous but they have a reputation (which hasn't been proved true) of their bites causing necrosis.

Chelicerae (he/they) I think is mostly based on the Queensland Whistling Tarantula just because they're big and I like them. Vibes are kinda like Hobbie but not exactly?

This is White-Weavers and Chelicerae's faces/an extra page of doodles i did (text in description)

Emma's OC Aracandy (she/her)! She's so cute and fun and I love her vibe. We've talked about how she would get along with Deadpool and 100% has hammer space like Spider-Ham

And lastly the twins! If it looks like they're from the same drawing that would be because they are. Emma and I collaborated ideas into a base I drew and then we both did our own colouring for them! Emma's is the toxic green one and mine is the blue and purple. We imagine them to be super chaotic. Like most other spiders hate them level of chaotic. They hear the bells want to run away just to escape the chaos. No one likes them but its fine cause they reveal in the chaos they cause (just like a real court jester!)

Anyway thats our OCs! Hope you like them!! <3

[first-and-last-neocount]

WHO'S READY? :D

I did not end up dropping teasers or anything before now because I wasn't sure, right up until a couple days ago, if my writer's block was going to come back. XD However, the first week is fully written and I've made substantial progress on many later fics, so I think it's safe to say that we are doing this!!!

Whumptober 2024 Planned Outline

I am planning fills for all 31 days, all for the Deadpool and Wolverine fandom and most of them strongly Poolverine flavoured, though some are non-explicit or pre-relationship and could easily be considered genfic. These fics are grouped into four different series, which I've outlined below!

Series: Won't Somebody Come Take Me Home

Fic Count: 12

Days: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14, 20

Series description: A soft, angsty post-film AU of loosely connected scenes where Logan and Wade gradually drag each other up the slippery slope of mental health. A whole bunch of dealing with pain and trauma sandwiched in between exactly the kind of sappy shit you all probably expect from me by now, lol.

Series: Yeah, You Bleed Just to Know You're Alive

Fic Count: 8

Days: 10, 12, 15, 17, 19, 25, 26, 28

Series description: On the other side of the coin, a collection of post-film scenarios where Wade has taken up mercenary work again, and Logan has opted to join him in the line of fire instead of having to deal with his issues. Not a chronological narrative like the other series this year, but rather just a set of unrelated fics that share that basic premise.

Series: Farewell Song

Fic Count: 7

Days: 13, 16, 21, 27, 29, 30, 31

Series description: A series of fics exploring Wade's murky past, Logan's uncertain future, and the story of my own mutant OC where it intertwines with them both.

Series: You Want a Revelation (Some Kind of Resolution)

Fic Count: 4

Days: 18, 22, 23, 24

Series description: When mysterious circumstances actually do bring the X-Men of Logan's original timeline back to life in Wade's universe, it initially seems like a miracle. As Logan struggles to adjust to the collision of his old world with his new one, though, he struggles to reconcile his own damaged recollections of the past with the facts he is now observing with fresh eyes. Unable to trust his memories and unwilling to accept what seems too good to be true, Logan digs deeper, and uncovers a shocking truth about the night he let his family down.

...

I have re-watched X-Men (2000) and absolutely loved it, so expect some references to that film; I also plan on seeing X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand before writing some of the later fics, and incorporating some plots points from those films, though I won't get any more specific so as to avoid spoilers. :P I am absolutely winging it on a wild mix of film canon, tidbits from the comics, and pure Vibes though, so don't expect any great consistency when it comes to the setting or timeline, lmao.

Also, as is tradition for me at this point, none of these series are confined solely to the parts that I am writing for Whumptober: I plan to expand on all of them, at least to some extent, after the month is over with additional not-strictly-whump-themed content. I even have a couple of multi-chapter fics where the additional chapters will be added after Whumptober, which I don't believe I've done in the past but proved necessary this year, most of all for the fics which will eventually be explicit; I simply do not have time to write a lengthy sex scene when I have so much angst left to write, ROFL. So, if you like these fics, stay tuned for more once the event is over!

It feels SO good to be writing again, and I'm very excited to share these fics with everybody, so I hope you all enjoy!

Right. Let's do this.

Whumptober2024 Roadmap

I didn't want to get ahead of myself this year, so I held off on the announcement until I was sure I could fully commit. That being said, fic #1 is already complete and I have a full stack of outlines sitting in front of me, so we're in business!

All 31 days of this year's Whumptober will be dedicated to Deadpool & Wolverine with the vast majority, if not all of them, being Poolverine ship fics. All of my existing WIPs will be temporarily on hold, because it's not like I was making much progress there anyway, and I'd much rather ride my new wave of inspiration and come back to my Coldfire projects with fresh eyes. :D

I will be pre-writing like a fiend all through September, so if I'm absent for stretches of time and/or absolutely binge-reblogging Poolverine content, you know why. XD If this ship is not your cup of tea you might want to block the Poolverine tag now, if you haven't already, because that brainrot is not leaving me anytime soon.

I also intend to watch most if not all of the X-Men films over the course of September, so some elements of those might make their way into my fics. So far I'm working with the knowledge of the first two Deadpool movies and a handful of X-Men comics back in the day, though, so don't expect too much accuracy on the wider setting necessarily, lol.

Might add to this later with my customary list of which prompt I selected from each day and related teaser material. :P

Drug (Deadpool x reader)

This is not an old one, I hope you like it. I’m trying to write spicy things but my morals stopping me. hopefully, soon I’ll publish my unholy fics hehehee

-------

someone paid you to partner up with another mercenary to assassin some gang members or whatever, but guess who you’re going to work with? with The one and only Deadpool, You 2 are kind of enemies tho... shit.

You accidentally drank some random drink on the floor... guess what’s gonna happen?

Warning:

1-bad writing. 2-soft spicy. 3-Deadpool (soft tho) 4-violence. 5-drugs. 6-under the influence.

Yeah this is a random Idea I had and I wrote it I hope you like it!!!

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

disliking Deadpool for a long time without even knowing the reason, some mysterious reason that EVEN you don't know, he just makes you frustrated... idk

To him tho... He has the biggest crush ever on you but decides to act as if he hates you instead because, in his logic, you would never like someone as "ugly" as him

so in conclusion you both kind of despise and avoid each other... but with the writer's power those 2 are united together hehehehehe

---

finished from the mission already, I’m so thirsty, I knew I should've packed with me some wat- a random (water?) bottle on the ground.. hmm, I’m really thirsty, I don’t think anything is going to happen...

meanwhile, Deadpool giving them some final blows and punches, you started feeling strange.. slowly your face started heating up.

Fuck it’s drugged, what the hell did they put in this?

Deadpool looked at you "DONE ThAt was easy" cleaning his hands

panting, begging for air out of nowhere, it’s not like I’m suffocating, but it’s too hot... hoping Deadpool didn't notice...

Deadpool notices, "um.. hey are you alright" cleaning his katana from the blood

Your face turned redder after what he said, WTF, trying not to face him "I'm... fine" collecting your things, taking your leave, well... almost

"I know I might not be the smartest person, but you don't look so good" his full focus is now on you, confusion was written on his mask

"wow thank you for the input" rolling your eyes and getting ready to leave from the window

"I didn't mean it like that, of course, you don't look good but you look worse than before," Deadpool said trying to joke but being serious at the same time

"Deadpool the mission is over, now leave me alone" about to jump out of the window but your body turns against you, your legs got wobbly resulting in almost DYING.

Deadpool caught you "Woah there, what the hell were you planning to do!?" he's worried now

"don't get any wrong ideas, Just leave me here I can handle myself" trying to sound angry so he leaves you ugh!

he got quiet, trying to connect the dots of what was happening...

Oh God no! that's going to be SO embarrassing! + he’s still holding my waist.

"as your partner in this mission I'm not leaving you here, you can't even walk on your own" started lifting you

"No. no, stop this, we are not friends nor even colleagues! so stop acting like one! I can do it by myself!"

To you, you sounded angry and capable of that but to him, it's obvious something is wrong + you barely said those words with a straight face

ignoring what you just said, lifting you up from your waist.

got you feeling some kind of way. oh god. he's still holding me

examining your eyes and your breathing "you look like you are under some kind of drug, oh IMAGINE if you took some kind of sex drug! THAT is funny!" laughing at his own joke

every touch from him sent electricity through your body

That bitch! why am I feeling this way just by his touch and words

Deadpool pov

hmm? blushing, heavy breathing, soft sounds, and constant swearing? interesting

Everyone pov again

This is getting too intense I need to leave before he realizes that his joke might be true...

pushing him from you, getting up as fast as you could, "I'm fine, now leave me alone!" heading to the window again to run before he finds out.

pulling you down on the floor without a sweat,

a small moan got out of you, covering your face embarrassment, shame washes over you.

he's basically sitting on you "did you just MOAN?!" in a high voice "you like it rough, I see" in low voice "so I was right! you are on some kind of sex drug!" getting closer to you, your breathing gets heavier

"wow... you are this bad huh.." low voice again

"Just leave me alone Deadpool, save the embarrassment for the both of us" literally begging

staring at him...damn...he's so freaking attractive, his body with this suit...

"why are you looking at me like you're going to devour me.." confused, feeling self-conscious now

with some power left in you, pushing him and getting on top of him "I'm going to tell you this for the last time" breathing heavily "leave before something you might regret happens"

this time it was his time to blush

seeing him from here, he looks so freaking hot

"hmm .. idk, what are you going to do" his smirk grows

"I'm... I..."

"yeah yeah come on"

"I... don't know maybe do something with that sexy body of yours" your face turns redder

"wh- did you- Nah your down badd"

returning to your normal state "I'm sorry I'm really sorry I need to go" getting up but then falling on him again, how embarrassing

smelling his scent he smells so good, everything about him looks amazing

grabbing you by your waist "honestly, you look so good on top of me, but you're under the influence, as much as I like it I can't" lifting you up from him

"huh...w-"

"Plus you would never say those things if you were sober" disappointed from his own thought, "why are you saying that.... you are hot, idiot" you finally admitted.

"Sure... wait till you see what's under the mask" getting up and cleaning himself up.

the drug intensifies, pinning him on the wall, "stop saying that!", "damn chill, say what",

"You know what I mean!" taking your gun out, "woah calm down there" Deadpool, "Stay! stay where you are or I'll shoot!" pointing it at him.

"chill! Ok I'm there, lower the gun now" Deadpool said,

we all know this gun can’t do shit to him, but he’s curious.

tying him up before he gets up, "finally, you look so good tied up like that" looking at him tied, lust covering your eyes

getting closer to him and hugging him smelling his scent "worth it... so worth it"

"You know you could've asked for cuddles? right! just say it! no need to kill me or TIE me up!"

"oh please, I don't think you can handle it" smirking at him.

ops unfortunately it’s family-friendly -_-

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

this is family-friendly unfortunately, that’s why it turned out like that, I’m such a hypocrite because I read smuts a lot but I can’t write one -_- well I wrote some but I’m too shy to publish them here

Nightwing 79 Review

i said i would and i will. i did like this issue! not as striking and attention grabbing as 78, but i think this issue was meant to be a foundation one, laying out the groundwork for the future. overall, pretty good. also there wasn't enough bitewing. as promised, overly extensive metaphors and me reading too much into things under the cut

i know i've talked about this cover before, but this particular thing is oddly important to me, so i'll talk about it again

this is me, once again screaming about how artists put nightwing in traditionally feminine poses and how every time i see it i just get whiplash. i mean, true, the main reason why is because nightwing is a so often sexualized character, and putting him in these poses just increases the objectification, which is a goal that dc producers have. but there are very few popular male characters that do this. the only one i can think of off the top of my head is deadpool, but that was so obviously a critique and a way to make fun of the media industry. when they draw dick like this, they’re being serious. they’re putting him in appealing poses meant to show him off, and that’s something that’s traditionally only been done to women.

it's a very direct and very loud breaking of traditional gender roles in media, especially for a character as high-profile and historic as dick grayson. colour also plays a factor in this. the entire background is pink. i was absolutely shocked when i first saw it, when the teaser came out, because i cannot think of any comic book covers of male comic heroes this high-profile where pink is even just prevalent in the cover, let alone the majority of the cover. the pink does look beautiful: it offsets and highlights the black and blue of dick's suit gorgeously, but does it with more finesse than orange or red. but the fact that the stylistic choice was made to accent and draw this cover with aesthetic and beauty in mind, completely ignoring traditional hard-set gender rules in art, was a conscious choice and one i wholeheartedly support.

just another example of the sexualization i was talking about. i remember seeing harley quinn in this exact pose in suicide squad.

so far, taylor's been pretty dead-set on bringing alfred to the forefront of importance in this series. he wants people to know how much he loves alfred's character, and how much the butler meant to dick growing up. he was dick's father too. but what i adore is how taylor managed to stress alfred's importance in a way that didn't insult or belittle bruce.

this is one of the best bruce and dick interactions i've seen, and it's done in one simple interaction. in this, bruce is tough and harsh. he knocked dick down hard, but then he reached a hand down and helped pull dick back up. let me analyze their dialogue for a minute

on your feet: this is bruce telling dick to get up. he's trained dick, he knows what the younger boy is capable of, he knows his limits, and he knows what dick can do. this is bruce telling dick i know you're strong enough to get up, so get up and prove me right

are you just going to knock me down again?: surface-level, it looks like dick's complaining. he doesn't like bruce's rough training, and he's tired of bruce knocking him down. but look at his face in this. he's smiling up at bruce, knowledgeable and a little hopeful. he knows that bruce is doing this to help dick better himself, he's completely on board with the rough training, because they both know the rewards are incredible. also, he's teasing. he's bantering with bruce. there's an ease in that joking statement, one that belies affection and intimacy. they've only known each other for a little bit, but they're already slipping into a close familial relationship.

it depends on how fast you learn: this is bruce bantering back. this is bruce not being a stoic, unfeeling asshole. instead, he's shown with the dry humor that a good batman writer knows is a staple of the character. he's teasing dick, telling him he'll basically whoop his ass if dick doesn't learn fast enough. it's incentive for dick to train harder, while also being lighthearted enough to tell dick that believes in dick and doesn't want him to push himself too hard.

gosh i love the titans. also it looks like wally's staring at dick's ass.

this was cute. a prod at dick's silly and playful sense of humor, while not dumbing him down for the sake of a laugh. instead, he's joking about food, which is stuff everyone jokes about. this is the kind of stuff that'll actually make me laugh, instead of just making me vaguely uncomfortable.

bludhaven's almost always portrayed as a cesspool of a city. and to be honest, it really is. but this panel gives the city a meaningful history, while also giving us a reason for why dick moved there.

it talks of a time when people still thought they could beat the monsters. that if they fought hard enough, they could win the fight. it was a tentative hope that you could always overcome hardship.

dick's little "i like that it's still standing" shows how he still believes that, despite what the rest of the world thinks. despite everything that he's been through, dick is still tentatively an optimist, and believes he can fight the monsters of the world and win. it's a beautiful testament to his character, and i'm like that they added his signature element of hope back in. it used to be what he symbolized as robin, and despite his growth and character arc from robin to nightwing, this is one aspect of robin that i'm glad nightwing still has.

remember when i said "things that make me vaguely uncomfortable??" yeahhhh,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Shooketh Dick: A Sequel

(the expressions in this series are just,,,,on point)

this was an incredibly sweet and kindhearted thing for dick to do, but i found it kind of,,,,,,,,desperate? maybe that's just me, but let me explain.

dick's suddenly a billionaire, and he has entirely too much money that he knows what to do with. it's also alfred's money, what the man left to him, so dick forever links it with alfred. in addition to that, he's back and bludhaven and looking at it with "fresh" eyes. (at least, from a different point of view since he got shot in the head. then mind controlled.) he's desperate to do something with the money and he's desperate to help the people around him that so obviously needs up, so he comes up with an on-the-fly solution that's a little impractical and a little crazy, but it still helps and still does some good.

to me, dick seems a little lost. he hasn't completely found his balance yet, and he's trying to do things that will. he tries charity, because that's what bruce did and it's what he knows, even though he admitted that he always thought bruce could have done more as bruce wayne than batman.

they have a family group chat guys yall were right.

also, do i think that dick would ever actually get his wallet stolen?? no way in hell, he’d notice someone getting ready to pickpocket him a mile away. but i suppose it’s important to the Plot. 

okay this is getting interesting. first blockbuster, now maroni (+ the weird heart stealer guy). i can officially say that i am intruiged

this particular artistic quirk is shown a lot in this issue, and from this art team in general, but i feel like this panel is one of the best examples of it. it was stunning enough to take up a full page, and it’s well deserved.

the way they show dick moving is absolutely brilliant. as a reader, i like seeing these smaller versions of dick getting clearer and in more detail as they come closer to the screen. not only do they show depth in the picture beyond what a simple 3 dimensional piece of art does, it also shows the passage of time.

in addition, it showcases dick’s skill. dick spots these mobsters running after a group of petty thieves. he then, and follow me here, leaps off the roof of one building feet first, springboards backwards off the side of the adjacent building with his feet, gracefully continues his backflip, rights himself, shoots a line with perfect timing: just in time to soften his landing but not slow him down, execute said landing on top of a moving bus, keep running on the moving bus without missing a beat, shoot his grapple, use the grapple to swing, use the swing to build up momentum, then use the momentum to deliver a powerful blow to the mobsters. and he did all that fast enough to catch up with the mobsters, even though he was a ROOFTOP OVER. 

d a m n  s o n

this panel, the very first in the issue, is also another example of that art style, but a little more distinctive. i love the way they showed dick’s different costumes through the ages, along with him simply growing up. it’s a little heartbreaking, but a lot uplifting to see how far he’s come. thank god he got rid of the red. now all we need is the fingerstripes, and we’ll be golden

discowing my beloved. also i can’t clearly see discowing’s hair but it definitely looks like it’s pulled back. it looks like he put it in a ponytail. guys. guys. dick had a ponytail omg. 

he’s having a Hero Moment

are you talking about the city, dick, or are you talking about you? the kgbeast, the court, the joker. dick fell to each one of them, no matter how hard he fought. he won in the end, eventually and with his family’s help. but i think he’s feeling a little low, a little defeated right now. it’s almost like he needs a win, he needs to feel victorious, he needs to feel like he helped someone (hence the food and the hotel room), just because he needs to remember what it feels like.

these lines were supposed to resonate with you, and goddamn they did.

i looked at it from two ways. first, it’s the girl asking, begging nightwing not to hurt them. bludhaven doesn’t know dick the way gotham does, they’re still a little frightened of him. this child was brave enough to step in front of all of the other hurt and homeless kids and ask, to a strange man in a mask, if he was going to hurt them like the other men had. it’s heartbreaking, but commendable, and an echo of the city itself that dick’s decided to protect. they’re bloody and broken and terrified, but still gritty and brave enough to stare what they fear in the eye and ask it not to hurt them.

second, it’s dick seeing the question reflected in himself. recently, he got shot in the head and lost all his memories. while i think that the way ric reacted was a perfectly valid and human response to the situation, i think dick still regrets how callously and rudely he treated his family. then, he was manipulated by the court of owls, then he was brainwashed with a magic crystal by the joker. dick does have a guilt complex. it’s not a big as bruce’s, but it’s there. and right now, with this girl begging her not to hurt them, dick is probably thinking about all the times he hurt people, in control of his own actions or not, bc he “didn’t have a heart.” 

little ambitious don’t you think, dick?

also just look at the sunset colours loOK at the they could not make this any more obvious oh my godddddddddddddddddddddddd

in conclusion, i need more of her

P.s. ~ This chapter is way longer than the other's i think... but it's also my favorite one so far!!! Thanks for sticking with me for this story guys! Love and appreciate you all!!!!

Sam blinked at the black screen in front of them, Torres had jumped when the first camera went out, gasping a little as they watched Bucky take out the three other cameras. Sam took a deep breath and let himself fall back in his chair. Torres took the few steps back around the desk and fell into one of the chairs there, both of them sitting in silence.

"Was that good or bad?" Torres asks, leaning forward a bit, his elbows resting on his knees. Sam let out a deep breath and straightened himself in his chair.

"Which part?" He asks, moving his hand over his mouth slowly as he stared at the black screen in front of him.

"I- the last part, specifically. Him shooting our cameras. Was that... I mean was that a message to us or was he just being dramatic?" Torres asks, and Sam can see it. The kid's nervous. And he should be. Despite the shine Bucky has seemed to take to him, Torres was still afraid of him. At least a little. Sam sighed again, digging his palms into his eyes with a groan.

"Let's hope he's just being dramatic." He moved his hands down his face in time to see Torres nod, he lowered his head then, but Sam saw him pull his lip between his teeth nervously.

Sam furrowed his brow, he didn't think Bucky would hurt Torres. That was the main reason he'd given for not taking him in the first place. He didn't want the kid getting hurt. Sam leaned forward, his elbows resting on the desk before he folded his arms over each other.

At least they'd learned who is his "friend" was. Sam was a little shocked when he'd seen the other mercenary walk through the door. He'd heard stories. Heard stories about them both. Even heard stories about them both together. But he hadn't expected anything like that.

The way they moved together. Nearly in synch, even when they were on opposite sides of a wearhouse. It was hypnotic, watching them work. The way Bucky pulled knives from his pockets as he moved. Like every movement of his body was so intentional that they moved his hands to his knives without him having to think about it. And the guns. Bucky used guns so... flippantly. Picking them up, pointing them, and letting them go. Grabbing them and using them and discarding them like they were toys, not dangerous weapons.

The way he'd shot that last one. He hadn't even looked at him. Hadn't needed too. Sam shivered at the thought, ignoring the way goosebumps bloomed over his back.

He'd been shot. Bucky. Right at the beginning. And it was like he hadn't even felt it. The way he'd moved, you'd never know he'd just been shot. Sam took a deep breath, feeling a bit sorry that they'd both been wounded. Hell one of them was missing a fucking arm. But neither of them had seemed too worried about that, so maybe he shouldn't feel guilty. He'd heard the stories, he'd be fine.

"Sam?" He moved his eyes off the desk, back to Torres. And he could tell that wasn't the first time he'd said his name.

"Sorry. What?" Sam ask, rubbing at his temple.

"Was that-" Torres still looked nervous, maybe more nervous. Sam furrowed his brow and waited for him to continue.

"Was that Deadpool? That he was with? His... friend?" The kid asked, his brow furrowed now as he looked at Sam. Sam took another deep breath, letting himself fall back into the chair again as he nodded slowly.

"Yes. Yes it was." He said, resting his chin on his knuckles.

"Okay." Torres said. Sam watched him, he looked like he wanted to say more.

"Go ahead." Sam said, letting his eyes fall closed, he needed to think. Or sleep. Probably both.

"And how do we feel about that?" Torres asked, Sam opened one eye, looking at the kid, he was staring into his lap, eyebrows knit together like someone was yanking on a string there.

"How do we feel about what?" Sam asks, sitting forward again, both eyes open now. Torres grimaces and looks up at him.

"About him being friends with Deadpool. And ... I don't know? Bringing Deadpool into our business. How do we- do we feel a certain way about that? Or is it okay?" Torres asked, his hands twitching nevously on his thighs. Sam looked at him, cocked his head to the side.

"Do you, feel a certain way about it?" Sam asked, licking his lips as he pressed his palm flat against the desk. He knew Joaquín had some bad things in his past, but he didn't think he'd missed something that big. He watched as Torres began shaking his head slowly.

"No. I don't think so. I just- I've heard stories ya know?" Torres asked, an open look on his face. Sam sighed and gave him a small smile. He'd taken his time, the kid, to think it over. To make sure the answer he gave Sam was true.

"We've all got stories." Sam said, his eyebrows rising on his head. Torres smiled then.

"Yeah." He sighed,

"I guess that's true. The one's I've heard about Deadpool are just, a little crazier than most is all, I think." He was still smiling, and Sam was greatful for it. Torres was the only person around here who'd been smiling lately. Since well before Steve's passing. This life was hard. It wore you down. But Torres was young. The only other smile that had graced this building was Bucky's. And Sam wasn't fond of his shit eating grins.

"There are some crazy one's out ther-" Sam cut off as one of the alarms behind him beeped. He spun in his chair, hitting the button under the desk to illuminate the security screens as he did. There was no one on them. Everything looked normal, peaceful even. And the alarm for the front door had stopped beeping. But Sam still saw nothing. He hit the button again, the screens faded back into the bookshelves as Sam rose to his feet.

He gave Torres a nod, both of them pulling out their guns as Sam opened the door and walked out into the hallway, slowly, his gun held tightly in front of him. He could feel Torres behind him, on his heel, staying close. They made their way down the stairs and were greeted by two of the guards, both holding their hands up as Sam and Torres came toward them. Sam lowered his gun, slid it back into place, and watched Torres do the same as he stepped up beside him. The guards walking closer, dropping their hands as they stopped in front of Sam.

"It's Mr. Barnes sir. He's in the bar. And he's-" the guard speaking cut off, glancing at the man beside him.

"He's what?" Sam sighed, not sure he wanted to know what Barnes was getting up to now, at 2 in the fucking morning, in his bar.

"He's bleeding." The other man said, filling in the blank silence stretching between them. Sam's jaw clenched, he'd almost forgotten.

"Is he alright?" Sam asked, taking a slow step toward the bar doors, immediately seeing a small puddle of blood on the floor. From where Bucky had stood talking to these two no doubt, before he'd gone in. Sam gulped, how bad was he hurt?

"Not sure sir. He didn't really say much." The first guard said. The other man snorted.

"I believe his exact words were, 'I'm fuckin fine'. But they seemed a bit slurred." The second man said, amusement fading to what Sam thought might be concern. He nodded once.

"Go get Helen. Now." He said to the pair, watching them both jog down the hall before turning back to the door, Torres at his side. It takes him longer than it should to notice the music. There's a beat pulsing behind the doors. Sam glances at Torres and pulls the doors open. He heard Torres clear his throat at the sight in front of them.

Bucky was sitting on one of the bar tables, his standard hoodie and henley combo discarded on the floor, the only thing covering his torso were some dog tags dangling on his chest, and Sam used the word "covering" lightly. His pants were pulled down, shoved completely off of one foot, black boxer briefs looking dark agaisnt his pale thighs, a combat boot discarded near the chair his feet were resting on. His leg was covered in blood. As was his arm. Sam could see a bullet hole glistening on his thigh, dark and angry against the white skin there. Apparently he'd been shot twice.

He was turned away from them, his metal arm moving at an odd angle as he examined his shoulder, Sam heard a pained grunt over the music filling the air and realized what he was doing. Torres must have realized at the same moment, Sam heard a small whine leave his lips. Bucky was digging around in his bullet wounds.

Sam's brow knit together as he watched Bucky's metal arm bob in front of him. Noticing too late that Bucky had his belt shoved in his mouth, his teeth too bright against it. He made another pained grunt and then turned toward them, Sam almost gagged when he saw the pliers in his hand. Bucky dropped a small peice of metal into a bowl on the table, his eyes finally finding the men standing in the doorway looking at him. Sam watched him drop his mouth open, the belt falling from his mouth into his lap.

"Evening fellas." Is all he says, resting his metal arm, still holding the needle nose pliers, on his thigh, the bullet wound there oozing blood from the pressure. Sam sees Torres turn away and nods at Bucky. He stares for a long time. Not sure what to say. He just watches Bucky looking at him.

"Are you listening to K.Flay?" He finally asks, the only thing his brain supplies him. He watched Bucky move his eyes to the ceiling, squinting as he listens, before dropping his head again and looking back to Sam.

"Yes. But if you wanna get technical. Joaquín is listening to K.Flay, it's his playlist." Bucky says, pointing the bloody pliers at the kid before grabbing at his belt again, folding it a few times between his fingers. Sam looks to his side and sees Torres turn back around, his eyes wide as he looks at Bucky.

"Why do you have my playlist?" He asks, his eyes locked forcefully on Bucky's face, like he's trying not to see what's happening in front of them. Bucky looks back at him.

"I hacked your phone." Completely straight faced, no remorse.

"I was gonna use mine. But the bullet that went through it kinda fucked that plan a little." He pointed the bloody pliers at table top this time. Sam saw what was left of his phone sitting there, a whole in the center. Sam swallows and feels someone walk up on his other side.

"You needed me? Oh for heaven's sake." Helen asks and then sighs when her eyes fall on Bucky. He gives her a small pained smile and shoves his belt back into his mouth, turning away from them again as he resumes digging in his arm for stray metal. Sam feels Torres shake his entire body next to him, and looks down at Helen.

"Can you help him? He's making a mess." Sam says, the thing about the mess an after thought really. Just something to say. She looks at Bucky for a little longer before looking up at Sam.

"If he'll let me." She says quietly, some knowing look in her eyes that Sam can't read. Sam nods and watches her walk toward him. His eyes focus on Bucky's foot. The black sock he's wearing is shining, and it shouldn't be shining, cotton doesn't shine. Bucky moves his foot, his entire leg really, turning his body to get a better angle on his arm, and Sam sees the puddle of blood on the chair. He moves forward then, leaving Torres back by the door, hiding from the blood. Sam shakes his head as Helen breaks his veiw of the bloody sock and puddle.

He watches her look at him. Sees Bucky freeze, his eyes going to hers as she walks around him. Her eyes trained on him, hands held out in front of her.

"Bucky." She says, softly, like she's talking to a rabid dog, trying to keep it calm long enough to get away. Sam watches him open his mouth, the belt falling to the floor this time.

"I'm fine Helen." He says, his jaw tight. Sam takes another step, he can smell the blood on him now, his stomach turning.

"Bucky. Please." Helen says, moving her hand to his shoulder. Her fingertips touch his skin and his whole body jerks, pliers slamming onto the table as he grips the edge. Helen's hands are in front of her again.

"Sorry I just-" Bucky says, taking a deep breath, locking his eyes on hers.

"I got it. I'm good." He says, pointed, his voice deep. Sam ignores the shiver it sends down his spine. She nods once at him. Doesn't try to touch him again.

"I'm gonna go get you some bandages at least. And something better to dig with." She says, taking a step away.

"I won't need the bandages." Bucky says, his head hanging againt his chest, metal fingers uncurling from where they'd dug into the table. Helen stops, frowns at him, crosses her arms.

"I'm gonna bring you bandages. And you're going to use them." She says, her voice stern. Bucky looks up at her, they stare at each other for a long moment before Bucky's lips curl softly.

"Yes ma'am." He says with a nod. Sam watches her nod back, her sleep ruffled hair a mess on her head, and march away. Sam takes another step and then freezes when Bucky's eyes lock onto him. He doesn't say anything. Doesn't know what too say. Sorry you got shot and your friend lost his arm? Doing dirty work for me so I don't get murdered on the street? Not really good choices.

"Where's your friend?" Is what finally comes out. His mouth feels like it's full of sand as Bucky stares at him, his skin, more of his skin than Sam's ever seen, pale and shining with blood and sweat. Bucky keeps staring, for just a moment longer, and then drops his gaze, lets his chin fall to his chest with a sigh.

"He went home. To regrow his arm." Bucky rolls his head onto his metal shoulder, looking at Sam again.

"He didn't think it would be polite to meet you without it." Bucky says, smiling, his eyes drooping and snapping back open. Sam watched him shake himself, his metal hand falling back to the table, holding him up.

"That's... weird." Sam breathes, his words failing him as his eyes land on the hole in Bucky's thigh again.

"Yeah well, he's a weird guy." Bucky snorts, his eyes staying closed now as he waits for Helen to return. Sam stares at him. Moving his eyes from Bucky's leg to his face. His hair has fallen in his face, strands sticking to his sweating skin. Sam clenches his fist, fighting an urge to reach out and push the hair away. His eyes move down, Bucky's mouth is open just so, slow heavy breathing shaking a strand of hair that lies across his lips.

Sam's eyes move lower, past Bucky's protruding colar bones to the place where flesh meets metal. Sam takes another step forward, without thinking, his eyes glued to the jagged red line on Bucky's skin. His own breathing is heavy now, and all he can smell is blood, and maybe a hint of gunpowder, from Bucky's discarded clothes he's sure. He licks his lips, teeth digging into the skin there as he tilts his head, not able to look away.

"It's not nice to stare ya know?" Bucky's voice startles him. He blinks rapidly and moves his eyes to the floor before looking back up. Bucky isn't even looking at him. His eyes are still closed, his head resting on his shoulder, just as he had been before. Sam frowns, had he imagined him saying that?

And then Bucky's lips curl, one eye opening as he looks at Sam, smirking. Sam's frown deepens and he rolls his eyes, looking over Bucky's shoulder to see Helen coming back.

She has an armful of bandages and a few silver instruments in her hand. Sam walks away from Bucky, going to stand behind the bar, putting space between himself and what he knows is about to happen. He glances to his left to see Torres sitting in a chair near the door, his head between knees, Maria is at his side, rubbing his back. Helen leaving their room must have woken her. She nods at Sam, winking before moving her attention back to Torres. Sam looks back to Bucky as Helen sits every thing she brought him on the table.

"These should help." She says, handing him one of the silver instruments. Bucky takes it gently from her, if Sam didn't know any better he'd say he was trying not to get blood on her.

"Ooh!" Bucky exclaims, looking at what she'd given him.

"You have all the best toys. That's why I come here." He says, pointing the, Sam thinks they might be surgical pliers, at her playfully.

"Rubber handles too. Fuckin great." He sighs, turning his attention to his shoulder again.

"Yeah. I had those dipped for you special, actually. After the last time." She says, looking at him pointedly over her crossed arms. Sam watches him turn back to her.

"And that's why you're my favorite." He says, slowly, his head tilting. Sam can't see his face but he knows there's a mischievous glint in his eyes. Helen narrows her eyes at him before softening.

"Seriously. Thanks Doc." Bucky says, giving her a nod. She gives him a wink and pats his knee as she walks past him.

"I'll be tending to Torres, if you need me." She calls quietly over her shoulder. Sam watches her move across the room to settle in next to Maria. She's sitting on the floor now, he her head on Torres's knee, her eyes closed. Sam watches her smile sleepily when Helen sits down on Joaquín's other side. His head is resting in his hands now. Helen asks him something and Sam sees him nod.

"Gonna have to get that kid some Dramamine." Bucky's voice pulls Sam back. He looks over and realizes he's made a mistake. He can see Bucky's shoulder from this angle, it's peppered with holes, the arm below it wet, and red, and shining. Sam watches Bucky snarl as he digs the curved pliers into one of the holes, the muscles in his arm twitching, his nose scrunches as he bares his teeth. Sam watches him pull a peice of metal out and drop it into the bowl with the others. Bucky looks at him.

"For the nausea." He says, like Sam can actually pay attention to a conversation with him doing that.

"Right. Yeah." Sam says, absently. Bucky smirks at him and starts digging again.

"Would that actually help?" Sam asks. Bucky's eyebrow jumps as he glances at Sam.

"If the nauseas from blood I mean? Isn't that shit for like, motion sickeness?" Sam asks, and grabs a bottle of whiskey, pouring a large glass and taking a swig. Bucky drops another peice of metal into the bowl and looks at Sam, sighing as he rests for a moment.

"Honestly I don't know man. I've never really had an issue with blood." Bucky says, giving Sam an awkward smile, his lips pressed together tightly before he moves his attention back to his shoulder.

"I can see that." Sam says, grimacing and half looking away as Bucky growls, shoving the pliers deep into his skin. He takes another gulp of the whiskey as he watches him pull out another chunk of metal. His chest tightens as a gush of blood runs down Bucky's arm. He frowns, thinking being around Bucky is probably gonna give him a permanent one, and then notices Bucky's eyes on him. Sam swallows hard, licking his lips and tasting whiskey.

"I'm sorry you got hurt. Both of you. That's not-" Sam shakes his head. He doesn't know what to say. Doesn't even know if should be apologizing. He doesn't remember Steve ever apologizing to anyone. Bucky's eyes are still on him, Sam sees the muscles in his bleeding arm flex, blood dripping from the scattered wounds. He can't read this guy at all. Has no fucking clue what's going on behind those bright blue eyes.

"I know Sam. I know you didn't send us there to die." Bucky says, his eyes staying on Sam a little longer before dropping to his shoulder again.

"Shit happens Sam. Even when you're good at your job." He shoves the pliers back in and looks up at Sam again.

"Even the best of us get shot sometimes. Job hazzards, ya know?" He says, not looking away from Sam as he snarls this time, yanking a long peice of metal from his arm, Sam drops his eyes to the bar as Bucky holds the thin peice of metal in front of his face.

"Well that's definitely not buckshot." Sam hears him say, then hears him drop the metal into the bowl.

"What the fuck did he shoot me with?" Sam hears him mumble and looks up to see him frowning down at his shoulder.

"Still." Sam says, drawing Bucky attention.

"I'm sorry it played out that way." Sam says, nodding at Bucky. Bucky stares at him for a long time before nodding back. That ends it. Sam doesn't say anything else about it. And doesn't plan to in the future. He watches Bucky stare down at his shoulder, the muscles across his back ripple as he takes a deep breath, Sam can see his ribs, more clearly than he expected, and turns to where Helen had gone.

"I think I need help." He sighs. Sam watches with a small smile as Helen gets up immediately, brushing her hands on her pajama pants as she moves around behind Bucky, examining his shoulder.

"What do you want?" She asks, kindly, asking for permission, asking what he's okay with. Bucky doesn't look at her, just drops his chin to his chest and sighs.

"Just touch it. See if there's anything else in there." Sam can tell his jaw is clenched, his words forced out.

"You sure?" She asks, her hands already hovering over his wounds.

"No." Bucky huffs, Helen laughs and moves her hands onto him slowly. His body jerks again when they make contact. She moves fast, her fingers gently proding at his shoulder. Sam watched the muscles in his back ripple again, his whole body tense, his metal fingers digging into his thigh as Helen's hands move over him. To Sam, he looks like an animal on an examination table, trying to squirm away from the hands touching him, Sam can see him fighting it.

"All done." Helen says, curtly, as she lifts her hands away from him. Sam watches Bucky droop on the table, his muscles going lax.

"You got it all. You're good." Helen says, walking around the table to look at him.

"Bucky." She says quietly. He moves his head slowly, shaking the hair out of his face.

"You want me to clean and wrap your shoulder for you?" She asks, her eyes wide. Sam watches him tense again, and he can almost hear Bucky's thoughts racing as he stares at Helen in front of him. Bucky sighs, stretching his back, popping it twice, before nodding at her.

"Say it." She says, looking at him. He huffs again, and Sam almost smiles. Almost.

"Yes. You can clean it." He says, his voice tight still.

"Grumpy. But okay." Helen says, smiling softly at him before moving back behind him. Sam watches her clean the wound, watches Bucky tense and flinch at her touches, and takes another long drink. When she's done wrapping him up, she cleans the blood off his arm the best she can. She nods at him and takes a step back. Sam watches him grab her wrist, holding her there gently.

"Thank you." He says, and Sam has never heard his voice so soft, so sincere. He feels that pressure in his chest and shoves it down again.

"Don't forget your leg." Helen says, patting his non wounded one and walking back to Maria, pulling the half asleep woman off the floor and pulling her close as they head back to bed. Torres is still sitting by the door, but he has some of his color back now. Sam is vaguely aware there's still music playing but he has no clue what it is. He refills his glass, whiskey glimmering dark in the low light of the bar, and walks back out toward Bucky.

Sam waits until he has his leg wrapped before he sets the glass down on the table next him. Bucky's eyes fall to it, lingering before he reaches for it. He downs half of it in one go, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand as he looks up at Sam.

"Thanks." He says, quiet still. Sam nods as Bucky hands the glass back to him. Sam frowns. Bucky smiles.

"I can't actually get drunk. But the gesture is appreciated." Bucky shrugs, kicking the chair he'd had his feet on away from the table. He stands, sways on his feet for a moment and then steadies himself. Sam fights the urge to reach out and grab him. And then fights the urge to drag his eyes down Bucky's barely clothed body. He clears his throat and takes another drink.

"Might take some water if you've got it though." Bucky says, swaying again, his eyes going wide as he holds onto the table to stay upright. Sam nods and walks back behind the bar.

Sam looks to the door. And sees Torres, his cheeks pink, as he stares at Bucky, watching him pull his pants gingerly back up his legs. Sam almost snorts a laugh but holds it in, the whiskey in his veiws making him feel warm. He grabs a water bottle and walks it back to Bucky, handing it to him and shivering when Bucky's blood stained fingers brush agaisnt his. Bucky nods, takes a long drink and then bends down with a groan, grabbing his shirt and hoodie, he pulls the shirt over his head with a growl, Sam watches him look at his hoodie and wrinkle his nose, keeping it in his hand. He shoved his foot into his boot, and winced, pain presumably shooting up his leg.

Sam hears the chair by the door clatter and sees Torres rushing forward. The kid stops in front of Bucky, looking at him with wide eyes. Bucky looks back, an intrigued look on his face. Sam holds back a cough as he watches Torres drop to his knees, helping Bucky into his boot. Sam shoves the thoughts trying to occupy his brain away. He watches Torres tie the boot and then fall back, his butt dropping onto his heels, looking up at Bucky. Sam watches, his eyes wide, as Bucky smiles down at the kid, his hand, dried blood coloring it rusty, reaching out to pat Torres's cheek.

"Awful quick to get on your knees for me kid." Bucky says, soft smile twisting into a wicked smirk as Torres goes pink down his neck and scurries to stand. Bucky laughs, pats his shoulder, and takes a few steps away. Sam ignores the heat that rushes through him at Bucky's words. Watches the man look slowly around the bar, at the blood he's left behind.

"Sorry about the mess." He says, looking at Sam now.

"Sorry about the bullet wounds." Sam says smoothly. Bucky smiles, lifts his finger to his temple and gives Sam a little salute. He limps to the double doors and then turns back, he looks at Sam, says nothing.

"You forget something?" Sam asks, not sure what he wants Bucky to say. Sam watches as his lips curl again, and he reaches into his pocket.

"No. You did." He looks at Sam, smile fading, as he pulls his hand out of his pocket, uncurling his fingers and letting something fall to the floor, a few little somethings. He tilts his head, staring at Sam, not moving. And then he's gone. The doorway an empty square in the wall. Sam walks over slowly, carefully, like he's afraid what Bucky left might expode. He looks down at the floor, his his heart pounding when he realizes what Bucky has left behind.

Four broken cameras.

His broken cameras.

All of them shattered by a bullet, shot dead center through the lens.

The Wedding (Part 3): Burning Bridges

More Ruri Action. @rurifangirl

Ruri Kazama has returned with the full force of his dragonblood. You know because you learned from your experience in the Genji Heavy Industries that Dragons have malleable bones. In that tall office building, when you had been fighting for your life against a deadpool horde, Caesar had tied Chisei up to make sure he didn’t try to leave the floor without anyone. You had been assigned to watch him. But Chisei had a trick up his sleeve. His bones moved around his body like he had grown dozens of extra joints. He easily wriggled out of the restraints.

Chime’s dragonblood was so high that his bones had fractured from the typical two hundred individual human bones to twice that number, each able to move independently of the other. When he saw that you were dying and seconds away from turning into a permanent deadpool, he formed two bonespikes in his chest and rammed those through your body. He said, his blood will keep you stable and heal you… for a while.

You were too weak to do anything about it but now you felt his strength invading you and you lift your head from his shoulder. Snowy white hair had appeared at the roots of his black hair and soon, his hair had turned completely white. The moisture on his body was starting to evaporate as the dragonblood heated him up. He threw back his head and howled mournfully. You flinch against the terrible scream that announced that a new beast had been born into the world. 

Chime Gen lost the last bit of his humanity and stopped struggling to restrain Ruri. He couldn’t do it. Even if he could pull off a miracle, you would turn into a deadpool and die. He lost all hope of reuniting with his brother. Even Ruri Kazama felt it and cried out in despair. There are no words to describe the terrifying sound of that roar, as if an ancient urn had been uncovered, and with the breaking of the seal, the demon awoke from its slumber, its scream mixed with thousands of years of pain and resentment. You wanted to tell him not to give up and to keep trying until the end. But your throat felt tied with a knot. You weren’t as stupidly hopeful as Caesar Gattuso.

With his emotions released, Ruri Kazama fell silent.

You see the black blood in your veins recede and the scales shrink and fall off. “You said… that your blood is able to restrain the evolutionary drugs…” You say with surprise. “But doesn’t your blood carry the drugs too? You should be full of Herzog’s poison. Shouldn’t your blood make me worse?”

Ruri Kazama was silent for a moment. He was still wearing his tattered tuxedo, you were still wearing your tattered and bloody wedding dress. Were it not for the blood, you would have seemed like you had just come from an extremely debauched wedding. With the blood and the bone spires rising out of your back, you both looked like a nightmarish distortion of marriage.

 “You really don’t understand anything do you?” He asked softly, turning on his heel. You had taken great pains to cross a dance floor that was full of debris and bodies and had nearly died of your injuries. But Ruri Kazama cleared it in a single bound, flying through the air like a terrible angel.

“What you say is true. However, the blood that comes from the bone marrow is untainted by drugs. As Chime Gen, I could not save you. And even now, this is only a temporary solution. Once you’re free from me, your condition will rapidly deteriorate. Only the fetal blood of God can save you now.” 

He stood in the gap created by the smashed wall that had brought the terrible wave into the Takamagahara. The ocean flowed freely and tranquilly through the gap. A moving river of debris carried barges of wood, luxury cars and wedding decorations. A banner still flies over the destruction announcing the marriage of the Dragon Lord and the Dragon Lady. But it’s soon torn away by a hurricane force wind and goes flying into the dark.

Lightning flashes in the distance illuminating the tilted spires of skyscrapers nearest to Tokyo Harbor. The streets around the Takamagahara were already cleared of everyone so, despite the destruction, everything was silent without cries for help. Distant thunder makes you both turn your head.

Mount Fuji burns like a crimson lighthouse in the distance. The earth movement from the volcanic eruption was likely the cause of the tsunami. “God has awakened. The one called the Light King. The King General knew this. In fact, he probably timed the awakening deliberately. To crash our wedding.” Ruri’s voice was dull, but you detect a slight humor in it.

“But I thought the mercury had killed it?” You say. Zero reported that the Hydra clan was celebrating its victory after diverting the river that served as a womb for the Light King into a giant mercury poisoned lake.

Ruri Kazama huffed. “Do you really think a pool of mercury will kill something that powerful?”

You suddenly bark out a laugh. 

He turned to you, his eyes empty and cold.

“Then, I’ll consider this a gift for our wedding day. Didn’t we both dream of seeing Tokyo destroyed?” You look deep into the hypnotic flowing colors in his eyes, flowing in red and gold.

His lips finally quirked up but he doesn’t respond. He turns his face up to the upper floors of the building and takes a flying leap vertically from a standing start. He lands on an outdoor terrace of one of the rooms on the third floor and walks inside. 

You can hear the screeches and slithering of Deadpool all around. People were yelling and crying out in their dying moments. The sound of gunshots was simply never ending. A war was on this floor. Ruri Kazama acted casually, like nothing was going on. “This is the place where we’ll meet my brother. Once he’s done playing Ultraman.”

“You brought your sword with you?” You ask, suddenly seeing him rest it on a table. It was the sword in the red sheath that you saw him wield when he rescued you from Hydra before. 

“No. This sword is called Viper Fang. It comes when I call it.” Ruri approaches a luxurious divan and sits down. “We have a little time to wait and rest.”

Without a care in the world, he lays down next to you on this couch. You stare at him in amazement. He seemed completely unconcerned about anything, but your mind was racing. “Herzog will never share the fetal blood with you. You heard him already say that. He’ll give it to Erii. After killing you.”

He lightly strokes your hair and shushes you. “You understand Herzog very well. Your trap was good, too good, because he had to best you with a spectacular entrance worthy of your scheming. Do you think he would wield the power of God against just anyone? He views you as a true enemy.”

He gathers your hair to his nose and inhales your scent deeply. “What better woman to be my bride. I trusted you and now it’s time for you to trust me. I have no intention of losing to him. So sit back and watch. You’ve fought hard.”

You smile, hope filling your eyes. Ruri Kazama hadn’t given up! He was still going to fight Herzog! But doubt creeps in again. “But… What about your brother?”

His eyes suddenly glow with fury. “My brother and I understand that we cannot coexist. You should understand that too.”

You suddenly hear the splatter of something wet hitting the door. You turn and look. The door was running with a dark spray of black blood. Another gale force wind blasts into the room, knocking over lamps and throwing the paper doors off their hinges.

In the door stood Chisei Gen. When his eyes fall on you and Ruri, embracing on this couch, his eyes go wide. He sees the bone spikes sticking out the back of your ragged wedding gown. Ruri Kazama is still stroking your hair. It was the worst way to see his brother again because it was just as he was in the basement of the village gymnasium, only you were alive and not a corpse in a bathtub.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still. Only the sea pounded outside and Ruri's long white hair flew in the wind. He was so slender and so light, reclined with his new wife on the couch. This moment was so intimate and tender, but also bloody and disgusting.

 Behind you, the black sea made a keening tidal sound.

Ruri slowly raised his head. His makeup was mostly dissolved in the water, but there was a stunning beauty to him regardless. In the depths of his eyes, there seemed to be golden mandarins swirling. He was as beautiful as an Ukiyo-E painting, but his stare was full of malice.

Chisei crossed his sword in a guarding position over his chest. 

There was truly nothing you could say to Chisei. Your eyes were sad and filled with resignation. Chisei would try to kill Ruri just like he’d killed Chance. Chance was more innocent than Ruri was and begged for his life. Ruri’s hands were already stained with the blood of countless people and there were no regrets in heart. You couldn’t save Chance from Chisei. How could you possibly plead for Ruri’s life?

Behind Chisei were several men and women who were taken aback by the scene of these two devils in love at first, but they recovered and raised their guns to fire. You recognize Sakura Yabuki. You could see the regret in her eyes. She viewed you as a beautiful bride and a potential friend, but she was about to fill you with bullets. 

They were stopped by Chisei who threw out his arm. "Stand down! Stand down!"

Your eyes widen in shock and hope lifts in your heart. “Chisei… I’m okay. Ruri won’t hurt me-” Ruri’s hand goes over your mouth. It’s a gentle gesture, but enough to silence you.

Chisei doesn’t say anything either. His eyes slide to the crimson sword. It was distant from the couch, too far for Ruri to actually reach out and grab without leaving the bed. But he’d already summoned that blade from thin air. The weapon now could be considered to be in his hand. You’d witnessed first hand the power of that sword. Just removing it from the crimson sheath stopped a speeding armored vehicle. Just bringing it down once split that car in half.

No wonder Chisei’s guard was up. In an instant, Ruri Kazama could kill all of them.

Chisei took a step back in retreat even though Ruri Kazama hadn’t so much as moved a muscle. But you could feel Ruri’s heart’s accelerated pulse against your ear and his hot breath on your neck. Ruri Kazama seemed relaxed but he was poised like a serpent that could strike at any moment. His killer’s aura reached beyond the room and down the hall where you could see Deadpool cowering on the floor. But this wasn’t the result of Chisei’s ‘Majesty’ ability. They were moving away from Ruri Kazama. The Deadpool were running from him.

Chisei moved slowly and deliberately into a more murderous offensive posture. He took a deep breath. His eyes were serious. Whatever attack he formed in his mind had to kill Ruri Kazama, or else it would be the last attack he would ever execute. You had no hope, being stuck between them. If Chisei succeeded, you would die.

Ruri Kazama sensed your fear and lightly kissed your head. You feel something tickle your nose and stare in astonishment as Ruri’s hair was growing so fast, it seemed to be crawling over you to cover you like a blanket. His long hair, white as snow, was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. When the door to your room burst open, his long hair was just falling on the small couch, but a moment later it had fallen on the tatami floor. 

You were held tightly against him and you could feel the incredible changes happening inside him, like snakes were battling under his skin. He looks so pale and so thin, but also divinely complete, like a king who is ready to mount his horse and go to war.

"Is it you?" Kazama Ruri's eyes suddenly lit up, as if a small spark were ignited behind his golden eyes.

"It is me." Chisei replied.

 "Brother?" Kazama Ruri got up from the couch. The bone spikes hooked into you and lifted you too. When he called out to his brother Chisei, there was a hint of childishness in his voice. You raise your eyes and look up at Ruri, looking for a sign that maybe Chime had been awakened by the sight of his brother. You’d bet everything -- everything -- that you or Chisei could snap him out of it, but there was no warmth, no weakness. Chime didn’t return.

How could you have been so wrong? Chime’s spirit seemed so strong that even Caesar was convinced by his quiet confidence that he could convince his brother. You rest your head against Ruri Kazama’s chest, unsure of what to do.

Chisei did not answer Chime’s call either.

“It was you who killed me." Ruri Kazama cocked his head and looked at him.

Between those two phrases, that ghost of Chime’s voice left. It turned out that it was just how Chime and Ruri tended to speak. Even after he turned into an evil spirit, he was still able to say "brother" in that juvenile tone without thinking.

Chisei still didn't answer.

Ruri Kazama’s eyes narrowed for the briefest of moments. In that instant, you saw that Ruri was hurt by the silence. You were so attuned to him that maybe Chisei didn’t see it, but just like you responded to emotional pain with laughter, Kazama Ruri laughed, the kind of maniacal laughter he used on stage. 

The laughter shook you on bone spires. It hurt so much you had to stop looking at Chisei and wrap your arms and legs around him to brace yourself against the rise and fall of his chest. No one else knows whether he is really laughing or acting. That laugh is too outrageous, as if the villain killed the hero and took over the country and finally got the world. He laughed as if he were standing at the top of the world laughing, unrestrained, laughing at those enemies who challenged him, who now have turned into dry skeletons. The laugh is so full of ambition, yet so empty.

The world is glorious! He now occupies the highest position! From now on, no one can stand in front of him and speak!

Ruri’s smile is still wrapped in so many years of resentment and poison. You’d underestimated the fact that Ruri’s resentment over his brother’s actions was just as deep as his love. Chime didn’t lie when he said that he wanted to reunite with his brother, but the hope was so fragile that a simple stone-faced silence from Chisei tipped the scales and called the resentment to full force. 

The next moment you were moved so fast your hair pulled at your scalp and your face pressed into his ribs. When you gasped in the next moment, your nose filled with the smell of blood and you felt the sickly, sticky warmth of it soaking your white dress. You turn your head and look into the eyes of Sakura Yabuki.

Ruri’s blade had penetrated not one, not two, but several people! In the moment of the attack, the members of the Executive board jumped in front of Chisei and were skewered on the blade. They were even reaching out to Ruri as though the strength of their hands alone could somehow stop him. The fastest of them all and the most devoted of them all was Sakura Yabuki. You had saved her once before, but you were helpless to save her now. You could only stare in dismay as the light and smile in her eyes hollowed out and vanished.

Ruri Kazama, meanwhile, buried his head in the chest of Sakura Yabuki, listening to the sound of blood leaving her with a soft and pleasant sigh of someone hearing the sweet sound of a flute. You grit your teeth and pound on his chest in a fury. “Stop it!”

He laughed wildly at your irritation and withdrew the sword, splashing the dripping blood all over the wall. There couldn’t be a heartier laugh in the world. After so many years, he finally trampled the dignity of the emperor under his feet. He’d finally broken Chisei Gen’s heart.

You turn and look at Chisei fill with sadness. Chisei was kneeling, holding the uncontrollable bleeding from his chest, staring at Sakura’s limp body, unmoving. Chisei was unable to counterattack. He only stared blankly at Sakura, eyes dull. Despite her sacrifice, he was still wounded.

The actual gap between him and Kazama Ruri was absolute. Compared to Ruri Kazama, Chisei just like an ordinary person facing a hybrid. He was against hopeless odds. You recognize the truth. Stable and safe hybrids weren’t powerful hybrids. Erii was unparalleled in her power and so was Ruri. 

And so were you. 

With a bit of effort, you could have easily destroyed all of Tokyo under the Genji Heavy Industries building, no God required.

Perhaps since ancient times, Hybrid society have been making the same mistake over and over again. The so called ‘Ghosts’? Those are the descendants that the White King expects, and the so-called Emperor, the so-called stable half-breeds, are just boring weaklings. 

“Protect everyone! Hold back that madman!" An old man in a robe yelled as the surviving operatives rushed towards Kazama Ruri, forming a seemingly impermeable but incredibly fragile human wall trying to protect him.

“Run…” You breathe shakily. “Run!” You scream again and again. “Run! Run!”

But they weren’t running. “What are you doing?! RUN!”

The old man grabbed Chisei. Sakurai Nanami retreated to the other side of the corridor as fast as she could. Ruri Kazama was in no hurry to pursue, he strode down the corridor without a care in the world, waving his long sword casually, turning those samurai-like loyal members of the Hydra into corpses as easily as he was mowing the lawn. In the darkness, his long, pure white hair undulated, and his golden pupils came closer and closer. Blood splashed on a poster warning young women of Ruri the Ripper.

Chisei, the old man, and Sakura Nanami disappear to go up the stairs at the end of the hall. Likely headed for the roof.

Ironically, Ruri ignored the Deadpool still in the hall. They press themselves against the wall as you pass them, shivering in fear. “Stop… Ruri… please stop… Stop!” You reach your hands into his hair and pull like you were on a horse that was galloping out of control. 

Much to your shock he does stop! But when you look around, it’s because all of the Hydra operatives in the hall are already dead. He looks deep into your eyes and blinks. “MC… this is how they killed the members of the Devil Clan.”

Your heart stills remembering Chance’s words in the park. Even though they lived quietly in an apartment block, the Hydra, in their frenzy to invade and break up the Devil Clan, killed all the adults in Chance’s family who were there and took the children captive. The apartment block burned bright that night, according to Chance’s retelling.

Ruri Kazama lightly strokes your hair again and you release his hair in silent acknowledgement. “There are no good sides and bad sides of this war. Only the winner and the loser. The winner will completely devour the loser without mercy. Tonight… you and I are the winners. So tonight… we will feast!”

You grit your teeth. You didn’t want to be included in this slaughter. You didn't want to be included in Sakura’s death! But if you freed yourself from Ruri, you would just die like an animal. Like these deadpools in the hall. 

Together you climb the stairs and you end your protest. You had no intention of dying. Ruri was a monster, but he was all you had.

At the top of the stairs, you’re met with a simple iron door. Ruri’s skeleton deforms. You can feel it even though no visible change takes place. Ruri rears back and slams his fist into it and it deforms like aluminum foil but doesn’t fly off the hinge. You hear the old man yelling in Japanese. He’s right behind the door, holding it. You hear the roar of the helicopter engine very nearby, the rotors pushing the rain into the openings around the door.

The walls of the Takamagahara are starting to crack. You can feel the whole building shudder. It’s groaning like a dying beast.  Ruri peered out the crack in the door curiously and then he reared back again and this time the door flew away like paper.

The old man stood alone on the roof, surrounded by deadpool. He faces Ruri who’s still cradling you in his arms. He’s holding a burning barrel of gasoline over his head. You just shake your head at him. What in the world was he supposed to do with that? Why was he being so stupid?

The old man rushed towards Kazama Ruri with the burning gasoline barrel held high, throwing the flaming lighter in his hand into the barrel, but Kazama Ruri casually pulled over an iron I-beam that was sticking out of the crumbling building without even touching it and swung it to smash him like a star baseball player, sending him crashing off the rooftop into the water along with the gasoline barrel.

Ruri giggled quietly. “You didn’t think that was funny?”

You just sigh and rest your head against his chest. “It was pretty dumb. No lie.”

The explosion of the barrel sent a pillar of fire rushing up from the sea water in the street, and the group of deadpool in the water was illuminated by the fire light, swimming around that pillar of fire like sharks.

 Ruri Kazama looked up at the sky and laughed again. He opened his arms wide, as if giving his brother high in the helicopter another chance to embrace him.

I Just Realized Gaster’s Family Name Might Be Wingdings Instead of Gaster

it just hit me while I was drawing,

that Gaster’s family name, the one that most fans

would have both him and his sons or brothers (depend how you see Gaster)  be called Gaster at the end of their names,

might not really be the real last/family name of them.

but now I have the headcanon theory,

that not only is Gaster, isn’t his family name.

you know how in some places, the family name comes first

before the given name to the son/daughter/child...?

if this theory is true,

that means that Papyrus and Sans,

they are Wingdings Sans and Wingdings Papyrus.

 well I do see the brother version of Gaster,

being separate from the father version,

and the two versions just being father and son,

and the brother Gaster, “Gaster Jr.”

being the elder brother of Sans and Papyrus.

I kind of want to call the brother version "Agrest"

which is like a Anagram of Gaster.

so Wingdings Gaster Sr. goes by “Gaster”

while Wingdings Gaster Jr. goes by “Agrest”

Gaster being the father of the three skelebros,

while the brother version of Gaster, who is called “Agrest” by one fan so far,

will be the son of the Dadster and also the elder brother of the other two.

I’m not sure how many other fans would agree to “Gaster Jr./The Gaster-Brother” version, going by the fan name Agrest.

it is pronounced just like Adrian’s Family Name,

from Miraculous Ladybug & Chat Noir. 

it is just spelled without the extra ‘e’ in it.

 we all get different fan theories, and not all of them have to be a correct.

  maybe I will talk about this theory more at  another time.

I also wanted to try to get around to throwing some of that salt on my pendulum tonight, but I think I will wait until tomorrow to do so.

also I think I want to draw a second Tuckrif  ship drawing,

maybe either tomorrow or whenever I’m able to get around to it.

also if there are others who uses a pendulum,

and are still a bit new to it and haven’t done it very long.

make sure not to believe the replies it gives you all the time,

even if you can believe some of it, there are chances it will be hacked by negative energy, and it will end up either pranking you or just full out lying to you just to be mean instead of playful.

well that is how I view it.

I will sign back on in a few hours, or in other words, tomorrow.

but not right away, I mean it might not be a few hours when I sign back in.

I just want to go back to relaxing and try to go back to watching a movie.

I also want to say, that I might of been unsuccessful in trying to find a place that is better than Youtube, where no one will get hurt by the negative side of who ever is running Youtube.

even if Youtube is still good, and it still has it’s good side.

there is still some problems with it, that I hope someday will be fixed.

this video -->  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTGufMkHfZI

it’s important to keep children safe,

but do NOT blame the content, blame the parents.

before you check out the link, I want to say that know from experience.

like seeing a movie I was not old enough to see,

wasn’t even a teenager yet at all or some other family movies,

that had hinted “snu-snu.”

 there should be a child lock app that keeps little kids from seeing content they are not suppose to.

another problem about the blaming the content,

is that when you let your baby who started talking,

and you let them watch a show or movie, with a bad word in it,

and they will repeat it, which is just what I did when I was a baby.

Vimeo and PeerTube, I’m not sure if those two will be the best alternative.

Vimeo seems still a little good, but it doesn’t seem what I’m truly looking for.

I could still check it out once in a while I guess.

at least show creators who trust Youtube,

do put info at the start of the video, that it isn’t for kids.

when Youtubers do make it clear that their channel isn’t for Kids,

then he parents should make sure that you try to keep a eye on your kids.

you can’t just blame on the mature content that isn’t for them in the first place.

I can admit that my Mom made some mistakes,

like letting me be in a room where a show or movie was on,

and I was just a baby, maybe around a toddler at the time,

and I repeated the “B” word.

not knowing any better.

if we want to keep everyone safe, there needs to be improvement on Youtube,

where they don’t hurt anyone or let false reports happen,

where a video that has been up way longer, ends up being taken done because of what some other Youtuber reported.

until Youtube can try to do better and improve itself,

and stop hurting so many Youtubers,

there needs to be a true Alternative place to go to other than Youtube,

that you can post amv, original show work, music videos,

but only YOUR original work, unless you get REAL permission to sub or dub a Game Music Video or Animated Music Video,

or get real permission to dub or sub the pilot of Viviziepop’s original

work, like Hazbin Hotel, as well as their pilot and episodes of Helluva Boss.

or if you take Hazbin Hotel Pilot, and breaking into parts,

one person from Youtube has done this, and I know trying to get through to them is not possible, I haven’t talked to them.

but from what I can see, they and those that follow them, wont listen to reason or understand the feelings of others.

there is called fair use, like when you use some art or clips

to make a music video, but you need to make sure to give credit to the original owners, and also make sure if you write in the description,

that anything related to the original owner, is visible

and not make it not visible at all, and you can only see it

when you press the “show more button”

too many Youtubers get hurt, and it’s not fair.

even if there is still some good on Youtube,

it is still slightly corrupted, and it needs to be healed.

plus you will have to worry about other people

stealing Comic Dubs, that belong to the original people who dub it,

who most, had got permission from the original artist.

but with how some comics are, it isn’t possible to get the permission,

the best you can do is try to put the info at the start of the video,

and make sure there is no misunderstandings.

I still like Youtube, but I just don’t like how it ends up hurting others.

and I don’t like that it took me until now,

to know the problem isn’t the content, but the parents.

mine being one of them, but I don’t think my mom would of let me watch the really REALLY mature stuff when I was little.

but the point is, I was still exposed to it, even if it was just a mild stuff.

I can watch some mature stuff now.

but I now have the knowledge to know that the parents are to blame,

they don’t keep a better watch of their kids,

and even if they do let their kids watch stuff or play video games,

that AREN’T FOR THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.

the parents will just turn it around and place the blame on the content

instead of themselves.

if I could make a Royal Decree, it would be that all parents,

should get a child lock on their child’s computer,

make sure there is a password place,

 that hides really mature content, even working on Youtube so any Mature stuff on there, can not be seen.

I have little trust in Youtube, because of the stuff that has been happening on it.

it makes me worried about some of the channels I had been watching so far.

like besides Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss.

I worry about any fan animation that can either do with Undertale,

or Invader Zim.

and I think there are others that I might not be able to name.

but the point is, that if Youtube and whoever is running it,

wants to try not to break anymore hearts.

then there needs to be a app that is a child lock

that the browser will be linked to, and will have a password,

where it will make it impossible for little kids to watch mature stuff by accident.

and if you need to write the password on paper,

because not being able to remember all passwords, cause I know that feeling.

then make sure to keep the child lock password in a very secret place,

maybe where your child can’t find it.

that way they wont be able to use it.

if I ever become a parent someday, I’m gonna make sure to NEVER make the same mistake my Mom or those who were watching me did.

or the mistakes that some parents make now.

placing the full blame on the content, instead of themselves.

I’m going to try to keep hoping, that Youtube will improve.

and it will stop hurting other Youtubers.

I think after I watch the Hotel Transylvania 3 Movie I’m watching,

I will go watch Camp Camp over on Rooster Teeth Site.

anyway, I hope to talk more about the whole “Wingdings” is Gaster’s family name, at another time.

I still hope to draw Tuckrif (Red Vs Blue: Tucker x Grif)

when I can.

and I hope some of you can respect my feelings about what is going on,

and how the ones who should take responsibility

is the parents, who need to try to find a way to make that child lock,

that can keep a child safe, if they have their own computer or if they don’t,

get your child their own computer and then place the child lock in it,

and make sure it has a password that only you know or have wrote down and keep in a very secret place that they have no idea about.

if we want to improve the internet safety, then that is one of the first steps.

so no one will get emotionally hurt because parents don’t realize,

that we saw that content because of you, and you should of tried to keep us from it until we were the proper age.

my mom being one of them, I still love my mom,

but even I know now that her letting me see stuff I was not ready for.

was still irresponsible, and all parents should acknowledge this.

I even had to stop my little cousin from trying to play my Deadpool Game once,

lucky they didn’t get very far, but still...no one even bothered to stop them or make sure they didn’t try to play it.

I even had to start to hide some of my mature games and even movies when they came over.

anyway if you haven’t already, please check out the link.

and maybe someday the type of child lock I mentioned,

will be made someday, and maybe someone will make a petition for such a lock,

that way no more people get hurt, and parents will take more responsibility.

and maybe even listen more to their son or daughter.

and whatever the gender neutral form for son/daughter is

(I will need to look it up), when they try to tell them something is wrong,

and they know something isn’t right.

or if your child doesn’t want to get on the bus because the school and their teacher’s had traumatize them and that is why they are shaking from being upset.

anyway like I said, please check out the link to that youtube video that talks about the serious stuff going on.

maybe by next year, youtube will become better and have the child lock on and keep those who are under age of 15, off of the mature stuff.

I can only hope so...I mean I want to hope that Season 15 of Red Vs Blue DVD gets on Amazon.

and SVTFOE and Wander Over Yonder get full DVDS

and stop being just “Prime Only”

and whoever made the complete series of the original Powerpuff Girls,

impossible to get right away, unless you save like a LOT of money.

well I’m gonna hope they lower the price someday.

not everyone can get the really high price that is past 100 and more,

I’m gonna just go and try to go back to watching that movie,

and hope things get better.

this was only suppose to be about the whole Wingdings is Gaster’s Family Name Theory, but then I remembered about wanting to show that link again.

see ya later and stay safe everyone, and try not to make the same mistake as your parents if you were exposed too early to mature content, and the parents place the full blame on the content instead of themselves.

but if you are one of the ones who were lucky not to end up that way,

I hope you can still be able to understand and be supportive about the real problem, which isn’t the content, but the parents who need to improve themselves and maybe be told by other parents who never made the same mistake as them, that the content isn’t the problem.

Happy FFWF! Take a moment to ramble about your favorite part or parts of your current wip! It can be the characters, your headcanons, the metaphors/symbolism you use, anything at all! And just for fun: Add a gif that represents that wip!

Thaaaaankkk yoooooouuuu and happy FFWF!!! You’re the MVP for coming up with unique and engaging asks every week!

I’m going to ramble about Paradise (spread out with a butter knife) even though no one here gives a poo.

On the surface it’s this...

but under the tom foolery it’s this

and

but also

It’s a soulmates au but it’s actually about friendship and the importance of creating bonds outside of romantic ones and how the romantic ones should be built on friendship anyway, regardless of what you think about fate or destiny.

It’s Peter centric and at the beginning of the fic he’s alone. He lost all of his friends in one way or another and he’s grieving them while stuck in a cycle of self-sabotage that he can’t even see let alone break out of.

Then against all odds, Wade becomes his friend. In Wade he has someone who understands the Spider-Man side of things and can shoulder the load of keeping NYC safe but also keep Peter Parker fed and rested and ensure he gets enough of a break to spend quality time with Aunt May.

He goes back to school. He starts thinking about the future again.

After some badgering, he accepts a job at S.I. working with Tony in the lab and all of the sudden he’s not starving all the time anymore and he finds Tony to be something of a mentor.

“Stop,” Stark says, stepping between them. “Both of you just… stop. Look, I’ve got somewhere to be so let’s wrap this up.”

“Oh perfect. I’m done so you can just fly back—,”

“I could have flown her out if you would have explained,” he states, cutting him off. “There was time for maybe ‘explosion incoming’ or—,”

“No, there wasn’t!” he snaps, losing the remaining shreds of his patience in one fell swoop. “If you would have run for the fountain when I said to then it would have been fine! Why can’t you trust my judgment without knowing every nitty-gritty detail that got me there? I know I keep saying it, but I’m not a kid! I don’t need a babysitter or—or a daddy-figure or whatever it is you’re trying to be to me. I do okay on my own. Good sometimes even. If you want to team up, fine, but I don’t need anyone to hold my hand or check for monsters under my bed.”

“So hand-holding is off the table?”

“Not now, Wade.”

Stark regards him for a long moment, lips pressed in a hard line while Wade hums the jeopardy theme. Finally, he sighs, “You’re right.”

Peter cocks his head to the side. “I am? I mean, I know I am, but you know I am?”

“Listen, I want you to come work with me. Hear me out! I’ve seen what you can do with dumpster scraps. I want to see what you can do with a real lab. Real equipment. Maybe a mentor guiding you when you get stuck.”

He stares.

HOly shit. HOLY SHIT. Is this real?? 

“You’re shitting me.”

It’s too good to be true. It can’t be— Of course it can’t. How is it supposed to work unless… Oh.

His heart drops. “You want me to unmask.”

Stark shrugs. “Ideally, yes, but we can work around it. You can come in that,” he waves a hand at all of him, lip curled in disdain, “if that’s what it’ll take to get you in the door.”

“I don’t trust your A.I.,” he blurts before he can get his hopes up. “No offense to J.A.R.V.I.S., but the more time I spend in your tower the more mannerisms he’s going to learn and you’ll be that much closer to my identity.”

Stark cracks a smile. “You’re smart, kid. It’s why I like you even though you’re a brat.”

“You should see him play Disney Princess Scene It. Total dunce.”

“Wade! Not now!”

Wade huffs and slumps miserably against the ground. “I’d storm off in a huff if I could. I hate being ignored.”

He ignores him.

“I’ll make a window in the code for you,” Stark says. “It’ll only apply to the lab and the path to your entrance.”

“The Spidey door,” he corrects.

“I’m not calling it that.”

He sighs. What a stick in the mud. “I want to review the code.”

“I’m not letting you look at—,”

“Just the part pertaining to the window.”

Stark purses his lips like he sucked a lemon.

“You gotta trust a little if you want trust in return,” Peter says, wincing as he realizes he’s paraphrasing Aunt May. Christ, he’s gotten old.

“Fine,” he agrees. “Who should I make the paycheck out to?”

He freezes. “Paycheck?”

Stark shoots him an incredulous stare. “Of course. Stark Industries has very strict restrictions on child labor practices.”

“Oh fuck you.”

Stark grins. “So? Paycheck? Do I get a name?”

“Parker,” he says after a beat. Wade stops humming and Stark’s expression goes slack with shock. “Have the checks made out to May Parker and mailed to the F.E.A.S.T. location in Greenwich. She’ll know what to do with them.”

Stark rolls his eyes. “Should’ve expected….” He sighs. “Alright, kid. We’ll do this your way.”

And then his old friends start trickling back in.

He steps out of his room and forgets to breathe. All of his muscles lock and his brain screeches to a full stop.

“Pretty sure you’re supposed to be scared of me,” Wade is telling MJ.

MJ?! In New York?!

MJ (in his apartment!) smirks. Her hair is different. It’s gloriously red as always and her bangs are still choppy but it’s shorter than she used to keep it, barely grazing her shoulders as she tosses it with a practiced flick. “Nice try but I know the truly scary guys have flawless skin and shaped eyebrows.”

“Oh shit,” Wade says, mouth widening into a delighted open-mouthed grin. He cups his hands and bellows, “Vicious and smart, Petey! You better— Oh. Hey, baby boy. You were supposed to go out your window. That’s my bad. I should have been more specific.”

“MJ?” he croaks.

She smiles, bright and beautiful and effortless as always. “Hey Tiger, looks like you hit the jackpot,” she says with a significant glance at Wade that lingers on his biceps.

“I… You… What?”

Her smile dims. “Can we… get a coffee or something?”

“Is everything— Are you okay? Anna?”

Oh fuck, if anything happened to—

“Peter, stop. Aunt Anna’s fine. Everyone’s fine. I was in the city and I thought…” She clenches her fingers once and releases them. She’s nervous. “I thought we could catch up.”

Gwen was MJ’s soulmate. When she died it crushed her and she couldn’t separate Peter from his role in everything so she left. She took off to California to pursue acting and didn’t keep in touch. She’s back for good and they start to mend things. She visits Harry in the mental health treatment facility where he’s been living for the past 10 years since Gwen died and he injected himself with the Green Goblin serum and went berserk. It takes awhile but eventually he gets to a place where he has the staff remove the blacklisting against Peter and asks MJ to bring him with her for a visit.

And suddenly Peter has his old friends back. It’s not the same. It’ll never be the same. They have their missteps and 3 should be 4 but it’s working and it’s good and it’s more than he ever thought he’d get back. Harry is released and him and MJ get an apartment together and they all meet up at least once a week. Everything is looking up. His life is reversed from how we found it in chapter one.

And he still doesn’t know Wade is his soulmate.

“You don’t have a soulmate?”

Deadpool snorts and rolls to his feet, slapping dirt from his suit forcefully. “Can you imagine? What kind of asshole would fuck up bad enough to get landed with me?”

He never questioned it. After five years the specifics of how exactly he knows Wade doesn’t have a soulmate fade. He might have seen the deflection for what it was had they had the conversation later in their friendship, but instead it gets written in stone in his mind that while he has a soulmate, Wade doesn’t and so Wade can’t be his. Until...

Oh my God. It’s Wade.

10 characters I’d still love to see in Smash:

It seems like some of the hype for newcomers has died down. However, I’m still excited at the potential fighters who may come. Here are a few that I would love to see join the ranks:

(1) Phoenix Wright (Ace Attorney) - I feel Phoenix is the best choice for a newcomer. He has a history with Nintendo, left his mark on gaming, and would be entirely unique. I even wrote out his potential moveset in a previous post. The potential for his stage would be amazing too, with Athena Cyke’s mood matrix being used to teleport from the courtroom to iconic cases. By a large margin, I’d love Phoenix to be in Smash Bros.

(2) Arle Nadja (Puyo Puyo) - I don’t believe puzzle games have been represented in Smash much. It’d be great to get Puyo Puyo into the fray with Arle. Since she’s the face of the franchise, she’d be a wonderful choice. She could throw puyos at enemies and use her spells like ice storm as special attacks. Her final smash could involve Puyo Puyo Fever. As for her stage, a simple one could be utilized to showcase other characters from the franchise and possibly puyos falling from above! With Puyo Puyo Tetris finally aiding in the popular of this series overseas, I think it would be a great choice. Of course, Jun Senoue’s amazing music would have to be included as well.

(3) Miles Tails Prower (Sonic the Hedgehog) - I’ve given up on the idea of Shadow being playable, (even though he would’ve made perfect sense as an echo Fighter). Tails would be a great choice. While some of his moves can be borrowed from Sonic, he could also use his arm cannon from Sonic Battle, dummy rings, bombs, T-pup and other devices from previous games. Of course, flight would be an aspect of his moves too. His final Smash could be similar to Samus’ where he gets into the Tornado-2 and lets off a huge laser blast. As for a stage, I think anything from the Dreamcast-era of Sonic would be good. It just needs to get away from the Green Hill aesthetic. He’d be a fun fit for a classic character that feels unique and yet familiar. I believe the Sonic series deserves more representation.

(4) Axel Stone (Streets of Rage) - I know this one is likely never going to happen, but Axel has appeared as a fan favorite for 4 out of his 4 games. He’s from a beat-em-up and so his moveset works perfectly for Smash. His new combos and attacks from Streets of Rage 4 would perfectly slide into Smash. His Grand Upper as a special makes so much sense. His stage could be based on the “streets” from the series, but it can also do the typical “elevator stage” that beat-em-ups are known for. This choice is more about a cool factor and one that could translate well, but Double Dragon would most likely get chosen over Streets of Rage.

(5) Blaze Fielding (Streets of Rage) - For the same reasons as Axel, Blaze would make an amazing addition. We wouldn’t need both, but I have been a fan of Blaze for many, many years. She has many attacks that would be so fun in Smash. However, I worry she might be considered too sexy for the game. There’s nothing wrong with that in principle, but Smash’s E10+ rating would beg to differ. It would be cool to have a strong female fighter like her though.

(6) Scorpion (Mortal Kombat) - Let’s get a bit crazy here. Mortal Kombat is a hugely iconic part of gaming as well. Mostly for its violence, of course. But if they can tone down Bayonetta, they can tone down Scorpion. His spear, vanishing attacks, and fire make a lot of sense for Smash Bros. His Final Smash could translate to a tame Fatality. His stage could be the Deadpool with acid pools of water draining health if you fall in. This would be a fun and wild choice. However, when you consider that the Mortal Kombat series is basically banned in Japan... this seems impossible. It’s still a cool idea regardless.

(7) Shantae (Shantae) - A fan favorite for many reasons. Considering Shantae got her start on the Gameboy Color and that many of her games are available on Nintendo platforms, she’d be a fun fit. Her transformations and hair attacks would work nicely in a match. She could have a lot of variety with her dances too. Her stage should incorporate the large bosses from her games as stage hazards. Again, she might be considered “too sexy,” but she’s already in the game as a Spirit, so let’s just go for it. Nothing wrong with beauty and power!

(8) Crash Bandicoot (Crash Bandicoot) - I’m actually not the biggest Crash fan. I like the games, but they’re just fine to me. However, I think Crash has so many cool abilities that he’d be a wonderful new fighter. He oozes with fun. From spinning, sliding, and using bazookas; he has it all. His stage could be a jungle stage where the famous boulder comes crashing through the stage. Perhaps a time machine could toss you between different scenarios. The potential is endless and Crash has more than earned a spot.

(9) Rayman (Rayman) - I am utterly shocked that Rayman has not been added into Smash yet. Considering how Ubisoft has worked with Mario and Star Fox in the past, this feels like it was set up to happen. Rayman has countless games that are fondly remembered and his abilities from his arms, to his projectiles, to his helicopter hair could work easily in Smash! It’d be cool to get a French character into the mix too. His stage could be the beautiful stages from Origins or Legends, but you could also do a callback to the original games. This one should definitely happen! Again, I’m shocked it hasn’t come true yet.

(10) Chibi Robo (Chibi Robo) - I don’t think this will happen. Nintendo did not do this series any favors and have left it for dead. However, they also did the same thing to ARMS, so perhaps it’s possible? Chibi Robo already has the gadgets to make a fun moveset. Not to mention that he can use his cord to attack. His stage would be a simple house with the many characters from his games being part of the chaos. I would love for this little guy to get it, but I doubt it. Still, Min Min being included fills me with some hope.

I just have so many stallison feelings about the wild hunt?

Allison was resurrected alongside everyone else in s5, but got taken before she could find any of the pack

So when Stiles gets to the train station, he doesn't even know he could be looking for her

The riders come back, Peter saves Stiles, Stiles snaps him out of it as in canon

But before Stiles gets around to try the doors, he spots her

Or maybe Peter sees her first, but doesn't say anything because it's Allison; the nogitsune's victim - an Argent

She's all nice funeral clothes, hair and makeup done in a way that was meant to make her face look less like a corpse, but now just makes her look like a doll, face blank like he hadn't seen from her since her mom died, since her dad was taken

Everyone else had been taken from their lives, you can see the death on her

He approaches her, hesitant and guilty and the only good thing is it looks like I'm dying, too

It's a very tearful reunion; Stiles apologizes, Allison just wants to know if everyone else is okay, if it was worth it

Peter is rolling his eyes at their dramatics in the background

They eventually calm down enough to catch each other up on what happened

Allison tells Stiles—and, unfortunately, Peter—that she died and then woke up on the nemeton, but got shot before she could make it out of the preserve

No one really knows how or why, so they chalk it up as Just Another Beacon Hills Thing after both of them ask her a bunch of questions only she would know the answer to and move on

Stiles tells her about the deadpool and Peter—

Who Allison nearly guts—lack of weapons or no—when he beats Stiles to telling her about Kate and at least your mother actually managed to stay dead

Peter's escape from Eichen, Lydia, and therefore Theo comes up, but Stiles only tells them the bare minimum and leaves it at that

For now, they were there aware for 3 months, some form of therapy Will Have Happened, even if no one liked it

They try the doors again, and notice the other guy, who takes them into the tunnel, and then promptly dies again

Rip convenient plot point

Neither Allison nor Stiles care as much, because maybe he is right, and he isn't pack, and he still has Allison and doesn't have to deal with Peter alone

Peter is his pessimistic-realistic asshole self, stallison aren't so much optimistic as they refuse to let this be it, need to do something that isn't waiting to die again or who knows what else

Allison brings up Peter's coma, Peter the nogitsune

"At least someone will come for us. Our pack will come for us. Who would still come for you?"

Peter, because this time Stiles actually told them Allison what happened with Theo: "You don't have a pack either. Even if they did remember her, they wouldn't even know to come for her. And you? You never even had a pack in the first place. Do you really think your True Alpha would even want you back if he remembered?"

Cue Peter turning to sulk in the main room, while stallison stay where they are

The worst part is that Peter has a point— at this point Stiles' only hope is that Lydia remembers, they have no reason to look for someone who is, for all intents and purposes, already dead

"They're going to remember us" "They would have already found you" "You don't know that" "Yes I do. They have no reason to remember you, to realize that you are gone. Do you honestly think that they would want to remember Peter or me?"

They eventually go back into the main room, because it's 12% less creepy than the tunnel

Canon plot, they manage to radio the pack Lydia

"you said remember I love you"

Allison, just far enough from the microphone to not be heard: "tell her"

But the connection is already cutting out and Stiles tells them to go to Canaan

The last thing the pack hears is a scream, Lydia's name, and it shouldn't feel this familiar

Because they remembered Stiles, or at least knew that something, someone, was missing

This shouldn't feel like a ghost, an echo of something they can't even imagine

Peter burns again, they both get out of there, together

They deal with the wild hunt, everything is back to normal, or at least, Beacon Hills has been fucked enough times that everyone just shrugs and moves on

No one questioned Allison's death, or resurrection, no one outside the pack even seems to care

They had visited her grave once, a couple of days after everything had calmed down, someone else who had died in the past 6 months lay now buried where Allison had once been

[isthatbloodonhisshirt]

I really liked how you wrote Void in both Actions as well as in Waiting. Now I have a random headcanon about Stiles with a split personality that's Void, but he's a little childish and a tad too possessive. The debates that go on in Stiles' head between the two of them on how to court Derek would be EPIC. Or try to channel Void as Deadpool. Ranting to people about headcanons is nice. Now I just need to write it. HA!

Thank you so much!! I’m glad you like Void :3 

Wondering if you meant Darkness Inside though on the second one, I don’t think I had Void in Waiting? Unless I remember that fic wrong which, TBF COULD BE TRUE, my memory is shite ahaha |D 

LOL Split-personality Void/Stiles would be epic if he was like Deadpool XD The closest idea I have to that, he is-he is not like Deadpool >.> Or Venom >.> There is just a lot of anger |D Because Void’s a dick LOL 

But I hope you write that! It sounds like it would be a blast to read!! <3<3<3<3
