Note

Love your writing and I adored your thick af gf head cannons. I was hoping that you could do a part two with the following characters; Ushijima, Semi, Akaashi, Oikawa, Sugawara and Futakuchi? Thank you!

part one

part 3

Ushijima Wakatoshi

Just the fact that ushijima had a girlfriend set some people off

But the fact he had a girlfriend like you??

No way

No possible way

How did that even happen?

I’ll tell you

It was not the most romantic by any means

It was a totally normal day at Shiratorizawa, classes were fine, but on his way back to his last class he was in a crowded staircase

And you just happened to be wearing shoes that didn't fit and somehow were coming undone every five seconds

What i am trying to say is you fell backwards onto him and he you a hand full off ass and another hand of boob

you apologized, he was shell shocked (and kinda turned on)

And you two just moved along, until tendou got word of what happened

Which led to him getting the full story from the man himself then forcing ushijima to ask you out two days later.

You agreed, duh, and thus began the “ushijima gets everything” mantras

He's not that protective with what you wear considering either everyone knows you’re his girlfriend or he's standing next to you the entire time you're wearing it.

But, he does take notice of a lot of your clothes, uncaring or not, he’ll try to talk you out of wearing some things

like tight dresses, which is pretty much every dress

With the exception of sundresses!

If you wear a sundress he’s putty in your hands, just slip on the dress and you can literally just walk on him, and he’ll let you

Also sundresses are the reason you know his horny language

Considering he is not a man of words, he takes a more physically approach

As in he will grab you by the waist, pick you up and just walk away

Maybe uttering a “we have to go”

Or there are times that he’ll just put you on his lap or have you straddle his thigh

No words, no thoughts, just thinking about how soft you are.

Semi Eita

Semi is a cuddle bug, and you can’t tell me he isn't

So seeing you at one of their games, specifically the one that he was playing and doing great, he knew it was you

Once he slithered his way into your life he asked you on a date!

That night was th efist day he realized that he wasn't the only one who thought you were the hottest person on the planet

Que the beginning of protective Semi!

He's the “I trust you, but i don't trust them” linda guy

But the good way

He lets your wear all the dresses and leggings (bc they usually don't stay on for too long)

But when he does, he's on you, shoulder to shoulder walking, hand in hand, arm around the shoulder

Just to let all those creeps know your his <3

(it is also not below him to buy you a choker (aka a collar) with his name on it)

He is the handsy king

He’s a good mix of groping you to heavan, and telling you how beautiful you are

He’ll pry his hands into your thighs and press you into him

He shoves his face into the crook of your neck

He also doesn't really care if anyone sees, he’ll do it during parties, in his dorm with his roommate, during practice breaks

Or he ruts into you in the hallway

Everyone sees it, you know it he knows it, you guys just don't really care

Akaashi Keiji

you knew him as Bokuto's friend and he was content with that

but eventually you guys caught feelings and bokuto just decided to play god

Akaashi, as much as he tries, is not completely rid of emotions

And all the pretending makes it really hard for him to see you in more than a few outfits

The uniform, how have you not been dress coded yet?

One time it seemed especially short and he just turned around and faced the wall until the bell rang

or when you were rushing and just wore spandex and his old jersey to one of his games

he had to get taken out so he could catch his breath

aka just looking at you made him a mess

and that time you wore leggings and a crop top to a movie date

and he had a hard on the entire night

(but it was below him to ask for a handjob in public even though he desperately wanted to ask)

considering he’s turned on when you do literally anything

He has formed a “i have to tell her i'm turned on, but i don't want to say it out loud” system

First is the staring

He just looks at you from wherever you are and he follows you with his eyes. Hell look down your body and think out your previous bedroom activities

Second is the touching

He’ll come up behind you and just stand there. Rest his head on your shoulder and rub up and down your sides

Third, and finally, is the whispers

He has his head there for a reason, if you just ignore him (which is hard) he just starts telling you all the things he wants to do to you. And he’ll remind you about how you begged for him last time and how easily you cu for him

Basically he just makes it impossible to ignore

Oikawa Tooru

Imma just say: the reason you got with this guy is because he practically begged on his knees for it

Everyday, everytime you passed him he would tell you how amazing you looked and how you would be such a good couple

Y’know, pretty + sexiest girl on the planet = power couple!

It's basic math!

And eventually you gave in and he was ecstatic!

You were his!!! Him him him his!!!!!!!!!

Honestly, i think he’s the type to match outfits

So he doesn't care what your wearing because he always looks like you belong to him anyways

But that being said, if he doesnt have something to match, you can't wear it

What a diva

There is one exception to this

A royal blue, v-neck, off the shoulder, skin tight, mid-thigh dress

You didn't have that thing on for two minutes before he was ripping it off.

You guys were a no-show to whatever event you were supposed to be at

He’s far more vocal about when he wants to have sex

Sometimes he’ll just yell across the room that he wants head

But you have Iwaizumi to hit him in the back of the head and put him in his place

He will bend you over something and fake bang you

Or he’ll pull you onto his lap and have you ride him

He’s just really horny and somehow seems to get what he wants when he wants by just being a persistent bastard

Sugawara Koshi

He’s your biggest hype man!

You could be wearing a potato sack and hes be smiling as clapping telling you how great you like

He’s like a facebook mom, he takes pictures of you all the time and just brags about you to everyone

He also takes the best instagram photos

He ever so slightly makes you wear more modest stuff (not that it matters)

But it does help with some of the rando’s who try to get with you literally every time you go out

You also seem to be a catcall magnet

And HE barks back at them

Like “bark” “woof woof” kinda bark

Every time, he has not let anyone pass

Now a horny Koishi is just like regular Koshi but every so slightly more snappy

But he mostly just attaches himself to your rear and just sits

He’ll stand behind you and grind or he’ll rock the both of you back and forth so it looks slightly less like he’s trying to bang you

But if you’re teasing him alot he’ll just grab you and take you to your room or another room and just bang

Either way he’s getting what he wants

Futakuchi Kenji

This guy shows you off!

He wanted everyone to know that you are his and his only!

He’s a lucky guys and wants everyone to know it

He isn’t to controlling of what you wear but that doesn't mean he doesn't get turned on

(he does, and fairly easily)

Any kind of booty short

They frame your ass like the fuking Mona Lisa, it should be illegal. And how they accent your thighs and make them look so soft and cuddly

Short-ish dresses

I'm talking mid-thigh, frilly, like the type that people take the panty shots from. It's just that they are always shorter in the back and sometimes he can see your panties under them.

One time you were making something in the kitchen with one of them on and he just laid in between your legs and just started….from the floor…...up to your panities

(like a creep)

Any many other random articles of clothing, but those two just seemed to set him off the most.

He’s demanding horny boy

He wastes no time in just grinding on you and telling you how much of a whore you are for getting turned on.

He also has no shame in doing in while people watch

Waiting is such a hassle and if he could just fick you in an alley he’s going to

Let all those jerks see who you love <3

It's been an absolute joy reading people's takes on the OC interview that has been floating around recently.

The idea of a Pale Rose interview (read: Fyarh and Nym dragging ex-courtier Reln into this) sounded so oddly entertaining that I wrote it for myself for fun but it turned out... surprisingly okay? So I'm gonna leave it here.

OC Interview: Pale Rose edition

(Draw (or use an old drawing, don’t worry!) or take a screen of your character in an interview setting and make them answer the following questions!)

1. Can you introduce yourself?

Fyarh: Sure. I’m Fyarh, founder and – formally – leader of Pale Rose. I’m also the head of the Dreamers’ division in our guild. (turns to the other two) And they are Nymeleia and Reln, head of the Soundless and Courtiers, respectively.

Nymeleia: (with a wide smile) Glad to be here!

Reln: (remains silent – just nods a little)

2. What is your gender identity, orientation, and relationship status?

Fyarh: (after a few seconds of thinking) I’m male, maybe prefer others who identify as that too? Didn’t think too much about it before.

Nymeleia: I’m looking both ways. I’m female and taken, you could say.

Reln: Why is this even– (exhales) ...I’m male, I don’t care what my partner identifies as. And my relationships are not for the public to chew on.

3. Where and when were you born?

Nymeleia: Back in the Grove, all of us. I awoke at Dawn and the boys are both Night blooms.

4. What is your weapon of choice and fighting style?

Fyarh: I’m best at stealth and surprise – daggers work just fine with that. If it’s an open confrontation, I prefer a light sword that doesn’t hinder my agility. But I’m trained and still training in hand-to-hand combat too.

Nymeleia: I was trained at the Vigil to be the shield, not the spearhead of the attack. I stay behind and make sure nothing hits that shouldn’t. I utilize shades and magic so technically I don’t need a weapon – a staff or scepter can help, though. I also carry a dagger on me, just in case.

Reln: I’m best with a bow. Two-handed sword if it comes to that. But whatever does the job, really.

5. Lastly, are you happy?

Fyarh: (smiles and glances at the others) I am. I’m on the path my Wyld Hunt laid out to me and I got great allies and friends that are with me every step I take. I’m truly grateful for that.

Nymeleia: (with a soft smile) I feel like I found my calling here. I’m working on a cause and with people that are amazing. I’m pretty happy with that, yes.

(both look over to Reln)

Reln: (after a few seconds of silence, with a cynical smile) Are we just supposed to say yes or no to that? Like happiness is that easy to define. (he glances to the side for a second.) But it’s been better here. Take that as a yes.

FAMILY AND FRIENDS

1. What’s your family like? What is your relationship with them?

Fyarh: The guild is the closest I have to a family in a sense you ask. I think? I’m on good terms with everyone – luckily, I mean... (he laughs a little nervously) ...it’s as it should be.

Nymeleia: I’m with Fyarh on this one. The sylvari in Rose are the closest people to me.

Reln: It really is pointless to ask sylvari about “family” – we’re all technically related, but are strangers at the same time.

Nymeleia: (with a smile she barely tries to hide) You are dodging the question.

Reln: I’m not dodging anything, I’m being reasonable. I have close friends, and allies – call that a family, if you want to.

2. Have you ever run away from home?

Nymeleia: We’re all sort of runaways, aren’t we? (she laughs) I’m Soundless, I left the Grove quite early, then joined the Vigil. Does that count?

Fyarh: It counts. But just so that you don’t feel left out. (Nymeleia gasps and mimics trying to kick him in the shin, they both laugh. Takes them a few more seconds to get back on track.)

Fyarh: I used to sneak away a lot when I was supposed to be in lectures. I loved discovering Caledon, I knew every corner of it so well when I was a sapling. Maybe I’d still remember if I walked around.

Reln (after everyone looks at him): ...I’m from the Court. I think that’s self-explanatory.

Fyarh: But didn’t you also wander away a lot?

Reln: You could say. I preferred being alone. Hunting was a good excuse.

3. Would you consider marriage or having children?

Fyarh: In the far future, maybe? I’m still very young though, and my hands are full with my guild and my Hunt. It’s definitely not something I think about a lot.

Nymeleia: Marriage sounds cute – I like the idea of honoring commitment with a little ceremony.

Reln: Neither of those seems to be for me.

Nymeleia: (quietly) Ah, my heart.

(Reln glances at her, but doesn’t respond.)

4. Do you secretly hate one of your friends?

Fyarh and Nymeleia: No...?

Reln: (slightly annoyed) Is it even a friend if you hate them? Next question.

5. Which friend knows everything about you?

Fyarh: Maybe Daleien? We've known each other for the longest, and he was with me through thick and thin. Nowadays I share a lot with Nym and Reln too. I used to be very secretive about myself but I’m working on it.

Nymeleia: We chat and gossip a lot with Dia – she’s another Soundless from the guild. She’s lovely and so supportive, I’m really glad I have her.

Reln: I’m not the one to share everything about myself. But my second-in-command knows the most.

Nymeleia: Oh don’t listen to him. He and Lavan technically read each other’s minds – no words, just half a gesture, and they know all they need to know.

ASKED BY FANS

1. Are you literate? Have you been to school?

Fyarh: I’m literate, and I’ve been mentored as much – well, maybe a little less – than any other sylvari.

Nymeleia: I actually struggled with reading and writing for a while – I could, just not well, as I never really had to. Paperwork has been a nightmare for the first months in Rose, but by now I got the hang of it. I’ve been reading a lot of novels recently, too.

Reln: I’m literate, and was mentored like all other saplings. The latter didn’t reach its purpose, though.

2. The eeriest prediction you made that later came true?

(They all look at each other, but neither of them seems to have an answer or anything they’d be willing to share.)

3. What is something you were embarrassingly late to realize?

Fyarh: Oh. I somehow never really talked about my Wyld Hunt in.... sufficient detail to my mentors? Not before the Wardens arrested me for hiding thorn pups in a forsaken outpost. It was a real journey talking my way out from there. One of the most embarrassingly funny things that happened to me, in retrospect.

Nymeleia: I was always too caught upon not handling the concept of pain, and death, very well. I don’t regret working on it and toughening up, I just wish I had realized sooner that I should hone my strengths instead of desperately trying to “correct” what I perceive as a weakness.

Reln: ...I guess I haven’t realized soon enough what real understanding means. (he seems mildly uncomfortable by the question, and does not elaborate)

4. Do you have mental health or physical issues?

Fyarh: Fighting takes a toll on everyone, I’d say. But nothing other than that.

Nymeleia: (nodding along – her eyes wander off to the distance)

Reln: A few scars here and there. Had a lot to deal with after coming back from the heart of the jungle, but I have worked through most of those by now.

5. What is your current main goal?

Fyarh: I’m dedicating all my time to the guild. It’s been coming along so much better than what I prepared myself for, and I’m not about to waste the opportunity.

Nymeleia: I’m not satisfied with my level of skills on the field yet – I’m spending as much time on training as I can, next to Rose. There are some other necromancers in the guild with who we share our knowledge, and I have gotten some general good advice and lectures from Firstborn Trahearne himself. It’s crazy how far Fyarh’s connections go.

Reln: I’m busy training and supervising my own division. Most of us are reliable and trusting, but there are and will always be a few loose cannons I need to keep an eye out for.

CHOICES

1. Drink or food?

Fyarh: A drink, maybe? I tend to forget to eat. It’s getting on Nym’s nerves at times.

Nymeleia: Ah don’t even mention it. I’m picking food – nothing tops a good, warm meal after a long day.

Reln: Food, if I have to pick.

2. Cats or dogs?

Fyarh: I love cats. I wouldn't mind adopting one, but I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to take good care of them.

Nymeleia: Can we pick both, maybe?

Reln: (glancing at the thorn wolf lying next to him) I’m more of a dog person. But cats are good too.

3. Early bird or night owl?

Fyarh: I’m a night owl. Waking up with the rest of the guild at early hours is a nightmare for me. I tend to oversleep so much, it’s almost comical.

Nymeleia: That’s not a problem for me though. I’m up before everyone else. And so is Reln.

Reln: (nodding)

4. Optimist or pessimist?

Fyarh: Optimist.

Nymeleia: Same, some will even say naive for sure.

Reln: Middle ground. I’m more of a realist than any of the two.

5. Sassy or sarcastic?

Fyarh: Maybe... sassy? With close friends. I don’t feel like either most of the time, honestly.

Nymeleia: Would you say I’m more sassy or sarcastic?

Reln: (to her) Is that really a question?

Nymeleia: Oh entertain me.

Reln: (gestures towards her; she laughs)

HAVE YOU EVER

1. Been caught sneaking out?

Fyarh: Once, when I was sneaking out of a Court camp with two stolen thorn pups. Barely got away. Didn’t dare to show myself around there for a while.

Nymeleia: Several times. Did a lot of bathroom cleaning in the Vigil for it too.

Reln: If I was, I doubt I would be here today.

2. Broken a bone?

Fyarh: Miraculously, no. I don’t even know myself how’s that possible.

Nymeleia: My left arm. Open wound, too – wasn’t a good experience.

Reln: Nothing that a field medic couldn’t fix.

3. Received flowers?

Fyarh: If you mean it like, in a romantic way? No, not yet.

Nymeleia: I received a few, but in my experience Vigil soldiers are more of the blunt than the romantic type.

Reln: No.

Nymeleia: How dare you. I gave you potted herbs a while ago!

Fyarh: (leaning forward) Potted herbs?

Nymeleia: It’s because he takes his food back to his room all the time. And then he complains about the seasoning. Go figure!

4. Ghosted someone?

Fyarh: I did... use to run away from confrontations a lot. But people say I’ve gotten better with that too.

Nymeleia: I prefer to just tell people if I’m not interested in talking to them. As kindly as possible, of course. But I think it’s ruder to leave them hanging.

Reln: I did leave from places – the Grove, the Court – suddenly, but then again, I didn’t have many connections to either in the first place.

5. Pretended to laugh at a joke you didn’t get?

Fyarh: That happens. Easier than trying to go back to it and figure it out, takes away the flow of the conversation.

Nymeleia: Everyone does that from time to time, no?

Reln: I don’t. If someone’s not funny enough, that’s not my problem.

Chapter 159th to the end

Hmm ‘got much more mixed feelings about the end

I wonder if the mangaka is a huge gamer because the characters tend to always compare the situation with video games. I honestly find it a bit annoying - like, I don’t mind the gamer character to think like that, but almost everyone have a thought like this at one point.

I have the feeling the whole Rika’s brainwashing was forced. Of course I wanted the two brothers to fight (Cain/Abel drama + Yuri setting as Seth yumyum) but it would had been better if Rika was the big villain the whole time/was really corrupted by Aikawa’s ideology.

That being said, I appreciated a little more Rika in the last half. I admit, he manages to do cool tricks.

Lowkey ship Sniper/White Feather for drama reason

Kuon’s death made me tear a bit - it was really heartbreaking </3

Too bad she doesn’t stay dead tho. It minimized the whole intensity of that scene and it feels too easy for the party afterward. Paradoxically, I liked the interactions she had with Yuri and Yuka.

Knowing there is a sequel, will they try to created a new body for her? Could be interesting. But I heard it was with new characters, so I don’t think I’ll read it. I was already reading it only mostly for Sniper Mask, so if I can’t get a shot of his riffle’s cannon, I’m not interested anymore.

I was honestly a bit nervous at the idea Kuon stayed in the head of Yuka - Ordinary quickly questioned this and pointed out very well my thoughts. It seems she doesn’t have to stay in his head and somehow body surfed with other God Candidates, but it still upset me for them all.

I thought Kuon was baby. She is. But she isn’t. Yet she is. However she isn’t. Actually-

(She is definitely less innocent she appears to be, as I expected, but much darker than I visualized it)

Disappointed Aikawa was just sitting there while Yuka and Rika fight. Like, I was excepting he asked Volleyball Mask to bring him some popcorns at one point.

I really need someone to make an animatic of the brothers fight with “the plagues” from The Prince of Egypt. It matchs it so well 😔

Oh look, Yukio becomes super strong! Is he a Closer to God now? Oh no wait, it’s a literal deus ex-machina!

If High Rise Invasion gets a second season, it means we will be able to admire the divine butt of Yuka at the very least twice.

The codes were interesting on paper, but I wished they foreshadowed it sooner. Making Kuon said “oh yeah, I just remember it now” every times is a bit cheap.

Makoto brothers really shined in this part. It was really refreshing to see them working together.

Does anyone have an idea of what Tenma means? I couldn’t found anything about this...

I don’t think it was a good idea to introduced Juo for the last arc. He was out of place. Aikawa was to the point to succeeded to become a god, was much more threatening and it was less thrilling to follow Rika&co fighting him. If the whole scenario happened before, it would have been more smooth in my opinion.

Tbh, I didn’t even get why Yuri wanted to save Juo at the end...

Administrator was f*cked up, but I couldn’t bring myself to hate him. His fate is just too awful and I understand he became so mad and drunk of power.

Praise Yuka for speaking the truth to the Supervisor. Wish he go further, calling him out that they succeeded thanks to their teamwork and not because they act in a "man is a wolf to man” way. Please, even bacterias understand the concept of helping the less strong to survive.

I need to pin up in my bedroom the page where Yuka said “you’re amazing” as a motivation quote.

Broke: Yuka is daddy. Woke: Yuka is a dad. Heck, he even lampshades it himself.

Did Prophet die?? He wasn’t show to be dead but he isn’t in the epilogue either...

My boy Yoshida didn’t deserved to die, especially not this way. That was dirty.

The whole betrayal of the dad is never addressed??? Where is the drama??? And the reunion of the Kusakabe didn’t move me at all. Do I am really suppose to care for a woman who tortured people with an obvious pleasure and turned my man Yuka and other countless people into puppets? Sorry but no.

Saito never becomes strong, halas. I’m not even sure if she showed up in the epilogue. It seems the author didn’t know what to do with her. She isn’t the only one in that case...

I understand why people complained the ending to be rushed. While it’s good to see Yuri alive, the whole family complete and angels stopping killing people, no god has been created (since somehow Yuri isn’t a complete god for now?), dimensions will maybe fused and insured chaos... yet the last thing the protagonist is seen doing is going to eat with her girlfriend. For a survival game genre, it’s hard to swallow — pun no intended. It’s way too cheesy after all the horrors they lived AND the threats incoming.

CONCLUSION

Yuka is definitely the best. What a husbando material.

Concept is very interesting but messy in execution at the end

Rarely boring, gorgeous art

Wished Yuka/Yuri/Rika worked more together and tried to bond as a family. It’s one of the most prominent theme of the manga, it’s too bad it mostly works as Yuri > Rika < Yuka and not all the three. (I don’t count when Yuka worked as Sniper Mask under Yuri since they didn’t know they were related.)

WISHED YURI/MAYUKO TO BE MORE OFFICIAL ARGHHHHH

Aikawa was a good villain, so was the administrator. Too bad they died so quickly. Juo could have been interesting too if he didn’t showed this late.

Wasted opportunity with Yayoi, she could have been an amazing villain.

It’s really too bad Yoshida didn’t manage to “really” meet one of the Makoto. I really think they could have influenced him positively.

...Maybe too many characters...? It’s hard to judge since there is a need to have so much (otherwise nothing would happen) but it’s difficult to find them all flesh out. And if the reader don’t care, the whole drama and horror are much less impactful.

I’m not sure how I feel towards Kuon now. I still like her, but I need to zoom off to understand better her character.

I’ll say it again: Yoshida didn’t deserved this fate :c

Ending rushed up, probably to prepare for the sequel but it’s still very brutal and cheesy, leaving a bitter taste as a farewell.

Ranting about a Character

Author’s Note:

Hello! This will be my first character analysis on this blog. Due to the character that I have decided to do this for, there WILL BE SPOILERS. Continue reading at your own discretion. Just like my previous post, this will not be edited so I apologize for any mistakes that you find.

I am also going to provide the disclaimer that this is only based on the anime because, at the time of posting this, I have not read the manga.

If you’ve made it to the end of my little note, I hope that you enjoy the character analysis and please let me know what you think!

Have an amazing day!

Title: Character Analysis – Junpei Yoshino – Jujutsu Kaisen

Summary: My thoughts on the character Junpei Yoshino from Jujutsu Kaisen.

Warnings: Spoilers. Mentions of death. Mentions of assault. Mentions of bullying.

Junpei Yoshino was a minor character in the Jujutsu Kaisen series. He was seventeen at the time of his introduction and he was seventeen at the time of his death. Junpei was emotionally lost after being assaulted and bullied at school and had developed self-destruction ideations and connections. In the anime, very little development takes place at school and Junpei appears to have dropped out within the time frame that he appears in the show. Mahito is introduced to the Junpei during that time and provides him guidance that is more the questionable and ultimately, he is killed by Mahito shortly thereafter.

Junpei is a prime example of a character being used as bait for the main character. Junpei, unfortunately, was a plot device used to lure the main character (Yuji) into a dangerous situation that furthered the plot. Not to say that Junpei wasn’t a great character, because he was, but he was a bit of a waste – in my opinion.

I don’t particularly like when characters are killed for the sake of being killed, and I especially hate lackluster deaths. Jujutsu Kaisen didn’t provide the audience with time to grieve, which is something that I really hope that this show does not repeat, because if the audience does not have time to grieve, neither does the main character and it forces the reader to see that “this character is a plot device and I should not get attached.” Which is the exact opposite of what you want to happen when you kill off a character.

A really good example of a show that kills characters while still making them relevant is Violet Evergarden. Spoilers ahead if you have not watched the show, but there is a lot of death. I don’t want to go too much into that because you should watch it when you have time. It’s a great show.

Now, I’m honestly not sure if my opinion is a hot take, but I think that the death could have been improved immensely if 1. It had been prolonged, or 2. It had happened at a later date. I know that these two points sound very similar, but here is what I mean: For the prolonged death, everything that did happened should have happened, but instead of him just falling over dead, Junpei should have either gained control again and turned against Mahito – to be killed, or another character should have killed him, possibly Nanami. This would have forced Yuji into an emotional dilemma either way. If Junpei would have tried to attack Mahito, it would have forced Yuji into action, and in his efforts to protect Junpei he would have felt much more guilty about his passing. Especially because it would have confirmed that: yes, Junpei did see the error of his ways before it was too late. He would have, had he not been transmuted, probably joined Yuji at Jujutsu Tech. It would have allowed us to dwell on the emotions for more than half a moment, and it would have made Yuji uncontrollably angry.

With the second option, if Junpei would have been kidnapped and transformed more delicately, possibly into something that was actually able to fight, I would have actually lost it. Especially if it forced Yuji to kill him after everything that Junpei had been through and after everything that Yuji had said about killing people. I don’t think that this needs to be explained in depth but I would have been destroyed if something like this would have happened. This will remain a head cannon for myself forever more.

Either way, I was disappointed in the direction that they took this character in. I understand that this story is probably about 3 years old at this point (I believe this is approximately when the manga debuted), and that the series is just following the Manga. And depending on how the next few episodes go, my opinion may change.

I’m excited to see how it goes!

My problems with the current dream smp storyline

DISCLAIMER: I am in no way shape or form sending hate to any of the cc. I love the dream smp and it’s storyline. But just because you love something doesn’t mean you cannot criticize it. Furthermore, this is purely a literary analysis of the story. I have no idea of what external or personal factors might be influencing the story or decisions. I will focus on the story and ignore the real world. Finally, I do not know the complete story. My opinions might change after seeing the whole story unfold.

Ok, let’s begin:

First of all, I do not believe the current story to be bad. I think it is very good! So I want to start positively and list all the great things about this arc.

Focusing on Tubbo and Tommy’s friendship as the emotional core of this arc is genious. A relationship that used yo be the only constant in the SMP breaking up? Poetic cinema.

Making Dream the villian again was the correct move. He is a wonder to hear and look at. Whenever he shows up he us terryfying and manipulative and a complete puppet master. Dream is a great villian and I love it.

Tommy’s whole emotional arc in exile was just.... so emotionally cathardic.

The prison! Marvelous construction! Sam is a genious! It is a great plot point that I am sure will be even better when it is fully revealed

Ramboo is a great addition to the SMP and I believe he will have a great future.

Ghostbur is hilarious and emotional. A great idea executed perfectly. The Fundy and Ghostbur relationship is great (Although we only really saw them interact the first week after the war)

Comedy is not dead in the SMP. Everyone is hilarious.

Now unto the negatives. My problems with the story are not that the story is bad, but that there is a lot of wasted potential:

Many of the plot points seem... recycled. Another exile, another execution, another festival. Repeating events while giving them a new emotional backdrop is not a bad thing (See: Tommy’s exile being completly different from his last exile while still being and exile). But repeating to many event in such a short spam of time is a little bit tiring. This is why things like the prison and the red egg are so exiciting. They completly new things!

The Badlands were perfectly set up last arc (Manberg war) to have a bigger role on the story. But they kind of have done... nothing major. And bad has confirmed that the egg storyline is only a side story that will not affect the main story (At least that is what we know as of today). Which is a shame becausr there are a lot of ways you could go with the egg story and all of them are great options! Even what they have done until today ls great! Red Skeepy! So yeah. More Badlands. Maybe a DreamSMP/Badland/L’manberg three-side-war could have happened.

We did not see enough of Tubbo’s side of the story during Tommy’s exile. Tommy went on a whole emotional arc and, while Tubbo did say something regarding the exile, he mostly ignored it. (Again, no hate. Purely and analysis of the story as it was presented. I do not know of any real life reasons for anything)

Eret, Fundy and Nicki. Oh boi. Three great characters part of og L’manberg. Three great characters completely sidelined. Eret going back as king of the DreamSMP is a complete disservice to his character arc (He redeem himself last arc but now he returns as king??). Fundy had a great thing going on at the start of this arc (With his whole adoption and fights with Ghostbur which was marvelous) but nowadays he has not done much else except beign a pawn in the buther army. And nicki. One of the greatest actors of the SMP, an OG, who has done nothing since the war. These three should have more stake on the plot, more things to do, more everything! But the story is becoming the tommy-techno show instead of the L’manberh show as it should be

The DreamSMP kingdom is kind of... non existent. Like, is anyone on that side anymore? Besided Eret I guess but I have problems with that. Also King George was a great idea but... well...

Technoblade. Oh boi. I think his character is not as good as he could be. With Dream, a big part of his appeal as a villian is his mystery (Is he a human? What does he want? Etc). Mystery was never a big part of Techno’s character. With every character you can pinpoint exactly why they are doing what they are doing (See: Tommy, Tubbo or anyone really). Techno does everything because of ANARACHY! But.... why though? I think people give him a pass because the idea of anarchy is funny and cool. But when you look inside, emotionally there is not a lot of things going on with him right now. I just wish there was more motive and emotion behind his action. He is still funny, interesting and scary (Very scary!). But he lack (For now) the emotional core.

SBI is very inconsistant. Techno says it is not cannon. Wilbur has said it was in the past. Everyone (In the SMP) just forgets Tubbo was adopted by Phil. I just wished it was more consistent.

The Dream-Sapnap-George fight was great. But it did not go anywhere. It has not been brought up in a long time. That is basically my main point. Nothing I point out as a problem is bad. It’s just that it has plenty of wasted potential

Cedar Rapids is a good idea executed poorly. Maybe it was just a joke but it had potential. Still, not a big deal. Could have played a big role but I am not bothered or annoyed or angry that they did nothing else with it.

And those are my opinions. Again, I still love the SMP and support every single one of the cc. The story is still great but has some problems. Overall not as solid as the other arcs. Nowadays I truly appreciate Wilbur. He was an amazing writer. He said in the past that he had to shoot down many ideas, maybe that has something to do with my problems with the current storyline. Having one major writer is completly different from having many major writers.

I truly hope that these problems are fixed in the future. Maybe I’ll be blown away by future events. Who knows? I still love the characters, the story and the cc. I am not sendinh hate to anyone, just sharing my opinion.

PS: English is not my first language. Sorry for any mistakes.

So, Im sure everyone has at least one episode of Supernatural that they just CANT watch. I've heard a lot of people say 1x08 "Bugs" or 1x06 "Skin" really get to them, same with 9x03 "I'm No Angel", but I wanted to share what my epiaode is and try and explain WHY because I've had a couple of people give me shit for it...

I cant watch 5x04 "The End"

Its an amazing episode. Cinematically, its stunning. Acting-wise, it's flawless. Misha's portrayal of a fallen angel struggling to come to grips with his failures in the face of a humanity that he couldnt save, and his loss of his sense of self is heartbreaking. The fact that he has turned to all manner of vices in order to dull the pain of his mistakes, and yet he STILL maintains this unwavering loyalty to his humans in spite of their own descent into chaos pulls at my emotions.

And Jensen. Fucking Jensen. His acting abilities are so far beyond anything I think ANYONE would have expected from a baby soap opera star, and that is really shown in this episode. He creates two distinctly separate versions of the same character that are so obviously NOT the same, and yet so fundamentally DEAN that its hard to know where he ends and they begin. The knowledge he would have to have of his character; how he responds to trauma, how he reacts to situations, how he would lead, how he would act when faced with monumental struggle...and then to translate that into a character who is IDENTIFIABLY the same guy as who he normally plays, but yet is still so DIFFERENT....fuck, I cant talk about about how incredible he is, especially in this episode.

But I still can't watch it.

I dont know how the episode ends because every time I've tried to rewatch in after the first time, I end up wasted drunk and passed out before it's over. And here is why:

I've spent a lot of my life being a protector for other people. For my mom, for my little brother, for my friends, for my coworkers, for everyone I meet. If I can take the brunt of their pain, or if I can put myself in a sucky scenario so that they won't suffer, I will. If I can hurt so someone else doesn't have to, why wouldn't I? Because I dont matter. I'm not important, all I'm good for is to follow orders and be a shield, cannon fodder, a crutch to hold and build other people up so that they can live. That's my purpose, and if I can save just one person, then goddammit that makes it worth it. And so I identify STRONGLY with Dean.

So, when present Dean sees his future self remorselessly shoot a comrade in cold blood, and then the confrontation he has to have with himself about that happens, something inside me starts to break. By the time he realizes that his future self, the man he will become, is sending his friends, the people who look up to him as a leader, the people he is supposed to protect, willingly into a battle they cannot hope to win, knowing they're going to die and using them as a distraction, I am broken. Because Dean is a protector. Dean makes sure other people are safe first. Dean throws himself into the line of fire to prevent others from coming to harm. And future Dean is doing the opposite of that. So to see him change that much into something nearly unrecognizable, a shell of his former self, forsaking all his values and humanity which he holds so dear, is terrifying and not something I can handle. To see him so broken down by trauma that he is willing to lose the trust, the faith, of the people he is supposed to protect, who trust him, it ruins me.

Because when I was recovering from addiction, the first thing I remember seeing the day I decided to be sober, was the scene in 4x01 "Lazarus Rising" where Dean drags himself out of his coffin in the ground, and I remember thinking that if Dean Winchester, the man who I align my moral compass with, the one who I identify with on such a profound level that sometimes I can say his lines in a new episode before he does (because its EXACTLY how I would respond), can drag himself out of hell after being subjected to years and years of torture, I can drag myself out of my own pit. And I did. I got sober, I cleaned my life up, and I'm not perfect, I'm still fucked up, I'm still broken, I'm still a self-sacrificing protector, but I'm better than I was, and it's because whenever I have a problem, I think "What would Dean do?" and I get through it. Because I know that if he can carry on so can I...

But watching that episode...I dunno man. Something about the idea of him breaking, of losing himself and the core values of family and friendship that he holds above almost everything else, it scares the crap out of me. Because if the world can break Dean Winchester, it can sure break me, and I have worked too damn hard to be broken like that.

Anyway, I hope this makes sense and that some of you can maybe relate and understand, and not give me shit when I dont join in your season 5 watch parties during this episode...

Maybe I Am? - Chpt.6

Characters: Steve Rogers x Bucky Barnes

Summary: Steve realizes the extent of his screw up and devises a plan to win his man back, even if that means coming out to everyone in his life. Master list HERE.

Content Warning: a really sad Bucky and an even more sad Steve. But (cue Monty Python voice) it gets better!

Word Count: 3.2k

Author’s Note: Hello lovelies! This is it, last chapter!! I know some of you have been waiting with baited breath since last night's cliffhanger. At least I don't make ya'll wait very long for new chapters! Thank you to every single one of you who has taken the time to like, comment, and reblog. Ya'll make writing such a rewarding experience. I don’t have an epilogue for this fic, but if anyone would like mini head cannons set after the fic shoot me an ask with what you’re looking for and I can write something up just for you. XOXO - Ash

Chapter Six

“Dude, you look like a ghost.” Sam commented when Steve entered the gym the next day.

Steve shrugged noncommittally. “Didn’t sleep great.” And that was the truth. Sleep had eluded him except for a few brief hours here and there. He hadn’t had the heart to change his sheets, as disgusting as he knew that was. He laid in his bed, trying to catch the faint scent of Bucky on his pillow and sheets. Steve was torturing himself over the break up that he’d known was inevitable. And it wasn’t even a break up, not really. And wasn’t that the bitch of it? He was hurting more now than he had when Peggy had left him and they had been together for over a year, had lived together even. Bucky was a fling, a curiosity that he couldn’t let go. Deep down Steve knew it had been more than that though. It had been everything.

Sam let Steve throw himself into work, not pushing him to talk until he was ready. But when they were wrapping things up for the day Sam’s patience had run thin. His best friend was in worse shape than he’d ever seen him and he didn’t have a clue as to why. “Get your shit.” Sam ordered gruffly, “We’re gonna go get a beer.” he looked at Steve’s devastated expression, “Or five.”

Two beers later Steve was peeling the label off of his drink, still avoiding the subject. Sam had been filling the silence with superficial work talk but when Steve lowered his head to his hands with a groan Sam caved. “Was it Peggy?” he ventured a guess. That was the last time he’d seen Steve even close to this rough of shape.

Steve let out a bitter laugh. “Nope. It definitely wasn’t Peggy.”

“Well then what, man? You look like someone’s ripped the life out of you. We used to talk about everything. What’s so bad you can’t even tell me?”

“Bucky.” Steve murmured quietly.

Sam wrinkled his nose trying to make sense of Steve’s answer. “Bucky who?” he said a second before it dawned on him. “Oh shit. Bucky as in WinterBae Bucky?”

Steve nodded.

“I didn’t even know you were still talking to him. What the hell happened?”

“I fucked up, Sam.” Steve choked out as the tears came, fresh and hot down his cheeks.

The story spilled out of him in fits and sobs as they nursed two more rounds of beers in the dimly lit quietness of the bar. Sam listened patiently, not commenting except for the occasional interjection of a hmph or ah ha to show he was listening. Steve felt raw and empty by the time he was done, finishing with Bucky’s departure the day before.

Sam sat quietly for a moment, thinking over everything Steve had just dropped on him. When it was clear Steve was done Sam spoke up. “You know you could have told me, right? I was probably a bit of an ass when you told me about Bucky the day you met him, but I just didn’t want you getting yourself worked up over nothing. But this, man, this is something.”

“I think I loved him.”

“I think you still do or you wouldn’t be sitting here crying in your beer. So what now?”

“What do you mean, what now?”

“How are you going to fix this? No offense, but you definitely were the one who fucked up. So how are you going to go get your boy back?”

“I don’t even know if he’d take me back. I hurt him Sam. He’s the most amazing, special person I’ve ever met and I made him feel like I was ashamed of him. What kind of person does that?”

Sam rubbed Steve’s shoulder. “The kind of person who’s scared. You went thirty years thinking of yourself one way only to find out you maybe didn’t have the whole picture. That can be disorienting, but it’s not an excuse to hurt someone you love. You gotta make this right if you still want him in your life.”

“I don’t know how.” Steve looked utterly defeated.

“You gotta figure that one out on your own. But regardless if things work out with him or not, you still have to figure your shit out. Otherwise you’ll never have a real chance with any girl, or guy, again.”

“I don’t want anyone else. I just want him”

“Then ask yourself the hard questions, man. Are you willing to be honest with him? To really apologize and accept whatever he has to say back? Are you willing to really be with him, out in the open? Because if you couldn’t bring him into the gym and proudly introduce him to all of your friends, then don’t waste your time or his.”

“I guess I have a lot of thinking to do.”

“Take a few days off, get your head on straight. And call me if you need to talk.”

“Thanks, Sammy.” Steve pulled his friend in for a bone crushing hug. It was going to be a long couple of days.

xxXxx

Bucky knew it was foolish expecting Steve to text or call. But part of him had hoped that Steve had cared enough to at least try to reach out. Bucky chalked it up to one more time he’d had too much faith in Steve. It would be the last time though.

Natasha came over on Wednesday after Bucky had dodged her calls for three days straight. She slipped in with assassin-like stealth, using the spare key he’d given her years ago. Bucky was slumped on the sofa in his fluffiest lavender robe, hair laying stringy and limp around his shoulders, and a bag of gummy bears resting on his stomach. An episode of The Office was playing but he wasn’t really paying attention to it. He glanced over, unsurprised by her presence, and mutely handed her a clear gummy bear - her favorite flavor. She accepted the bear with a nod and settled in next to him.

The episode ended and Bucky popped the last few pieces of candy in his mouth. “Are you here to yell at me for wallowing?” he asked, breaking the silence.

Natasha raised a perfectly groomed eyebrow at him. “Do you want me to?”

Bucky shook his head, his composure breaking. “I miss him, ladybug.” he sobbed, turning to cling to his oldest, dearest, friend.

“I’m sorry, Bucky-bear.” Natasha held him tightly while he cried. She fired a quick text off and her phone chirped almost immediately. “Becca will be here by dinner.”

“Nat, no.” he grumbled pathetically.

“Nat, yes.” she quipped. “Now come on, let’s get you cleaned up before she gets here and thinks I haven’t been looking after you.”

Bucky grumbled more but complied. The last thing he needed was a Becca lecture.

Becca arrived with bags of take out and several bottles of wine a little after six o’clock. She and Nat sat and listened while Bucky poured his heart out over the next few hours. They curled up around him on the sofa, letting him mourn and trying to just be there for him. He passed out eventually and Becca looked over his sleeping head at Natasha once his gentle snuffle-snores started. “I want a name and address.” she demanded with a low tone that left no room for disagreement.

“I’ll text it to you. You go do what you have to do and I’ll keep an eye on our boy.”

Becca was fuming the entire ride across town. She had been there for the fallout out from Brock, who had been the worst type of prick imaginable, but who Bucky had genuinely loved. And this was a hundred times worse. Becca knew it was stupid and ill advised but she needed to confront the asshole who thought he could just toy with her brother’s emotions like that. She still regretted not punching Brock when she’d had the chance, and she was not going to have that regret this time.

Steve heard the sharp knock on his door and groaned. He’d already been in bed despite it only being nine thirty and he felt completely exhausted dragging himself to the door. Three days of beating yourself up will do that to a guy. Steve opened the door and his heart stopped. Standing in front of him was a petite woman who reminded him so much of Bucky he thought he was hallucinating.

“Are you Steve Rogers?” the woman demanded. The grey-blue eyes, so much like Bucky’s, flared with anger.

“Yeah,” he mumbled, clearing his throat, “Who are you?”

“The woman who’s brother is a fucking wreck right now because of you, you fucking prick.” Becca shoved at him as hard as she could but he barely moved, the damn mountain of a man.

“Bucky?” Steve choked out, his eyes welling up at the name.

“Yeah, Bucky. Or do you do this with all the guys? Poor gorgeous confused guy who just wants to get his rocks off and use people?” Becca was almost shouting, anger radiating off of her in waves.

“What?!” Steve barked out, shocked, “No! God, no. Bucky was the only guy I ever… I didn’t mean to-” a sob slipped out and he fought for composure, “Is he okay? I… I miss him so much.” Steve broke down, wrapping his arms around himself tightly for the small bit of comfort it gave him.

Becca just stood there speechless for a moment. She had been so ready to deck this guy and chew him out for hurting her brother, but she hadn’t expected Steve to be a mess too. Clearly, things were more complicated than she’d thought. “He’s not, you ass.” she informed him, “And neither are you apparently. Now invite me in and let’s see if we can fix this, yeah?”

Steve sniffled, nodding and backing out of the doorway so she could come in. Becca followed him to the sofa where he told her how badly he’d fucked up, which she already knew but felt reassured hearing how much it tore Steve up. It was satisfying knowing Steve was beating himself over what had happened and saving her the trouble. She let him finish and get himself under wraps again before she finally spoke up. “I’m not going to help you.”

Steve visibly deflated.

“But,” she added, causing him to perk up briefly, “I will get him where he needs to be for you to fix this mess. God knows he’ll be avoiding you like the plague right now. So figure out to make this right and let me know when and where. I’ll make sure he’s there.” Becca stood up, satisfied she was keeping her meddling to a minimum.

“Thank you.” Steve said right as she reached the door.

She gave him a sharp nod, “But Steve.” she added, her tone like ice, “If you ever hurt my brother again? I’m gonna punch you in the dick so hard it won’t matter what your sexuality is because you won’t have anything left to use.” And with that warning, she closed the door loudly behind her.

Steve groaned. He’d spent three days wallowing, now it was time to plan.

xxXxx

The next morning Becca’s phone buzzed in her pocket while she flipped a chocolate chip pancake, adding to the stack she was making for Bucky.

1pm @ Los Aztecas; the text read, followed by an address.

She sent back a thumbs up emoji, hoping she wasn’t betraying her brother. Natasha had seemed encouraging when she’d reported back to her the night before and that gave her some reassurance she was doing the right thing.

Bucky slept late, cuddled up with Natasha in his rumpled bed. The three of them had curled up like they had when they were kids and Becca was happy to rejoin the warmth to wake up her brother and best friend. Bucky was reluctant to get out of bed but after some coaxing, they got him up and dressed. Becca filled Natasha in while Bucky showered and they planned on how they’d get Bucky out of the apartment later.

It turned out to be easier than either woman expected. Becca claimed to have found a ‘cute little taco’ place online and gave him her best sad face when begging him to go out for lunch. Bucky was weak when Becca begged and they were in a cab on their way across time fifteen minutes earlier than they needed to be. Becca fired off a text to Steve of their ETA and gave Natasha a knowing nod when Bucky wasn’t looking.

“Becs, no.” Bucky whined when they were dropped off outside the restaurant.

“What?” Becca played dumb, mentally priding herself on her performance. “Why not?”

“This is Steve’s taco place.” he swallowed roughly, refusing to cry in public.

“That asshole doesn’t get to deprive you of tasty tacos.” Natasha interjected, “Besides, what are the odds you’ll even run into him? Come on,” she gave him a push towards the door, “Mama needs tacos.”

Bucky grumbled but ducked into the little restaurant with them. His eyes adjusted to the low lighting and he missed Steve with an intensity that made him physically ache. He wondered how long it would be until everything stopped making him think of Steve. Hell, even the sound of a guy laughing in the other room reminded him of Steve. As a matter of fact, that laugh really did sound familiar. Too familiar. Shit.

“Hey, Buck.”

Bucky cringed, glaring daggers at his sister and best friend before turning around. Well, at least he’d put on real clothes before going out. “Hi Steve.” he said as normally as he could.

Steve was standing in the doorway to the private dining room looking devastatingly handsome in his white and blue checked shirt and khakis. Bucky wished he had been overly generous in remembering how damned attractive Steve was. If it weren’t for the faint bruises of purple under Steve’s bright blue eyes, he would have thought nothing was wrong.

“Can we talk for a minute?” Steve asked, wringing his hands nervously.

Bucky turned around to Becca and Natasha, “I hate you both.” he growled. But he nodded to Steve and followed him into the empty dining room.

“What’s this about Steve?” he asked, his voice betraying his exhaustion.

“You.” Steve said simply, “It’s always gonna be about you.” he cleared his throat, taking a moment to collect his thoughts. “I wanted to say I’m sorry I hurt you. I never meant to but I know I absolutely did. I was a coward and I’m ashamed of how I acted. But I’m not ashamed of us. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I want everyone to know it. I needed to sort my shit out, not just for you but for me too. I’m sorry it took me so long to do that. I don’t want to hide you away like some secret. I want to be able to walk down the street holding your hand, kiss you on the corner and not give a shit who sees us. I want you to meet my friends, my coworkers, my family. I want us to take all those silly trips we were planning together. I want you in my life, completely, not just when it’s convenient. Because I love you. I love you so much it terrifies me. And whether you want to give me, us, another try, or if you want to kick me in the balls and never see me again, I just needed to tell you that.”

Bucky sniffed back the tears that were gathering in the corners of his eyes and took a long breath. “You hurt me.” his voice was steadier than he felt and Bucky was grateful for that. “And you’re never going to do that again. Do you hear me? Never again, Steve. I love you too much to go through this again.” Bucky gave him a soft smile, letting his words sink in.

“You still love me?” Steve whispered hopefully.

“Of course I do, you punk.”

Steve laughed wetly, pulling Bucky in for a hug. They were still holding each other when Sam popped his head in a few minutes later. “You two ready for the party yet?” Sam called out, startling them both. This time though, Steve took Bucky’s hand in his tightly.

“Come on in.” Steve waved his hand to his friend. “Sam, I’d like you to meet my boyfriend, Bucky. Bucky, this is my best friend Sam.”

Bucky was beaming as he extended a hand to shake Sam’s. “Nice to meet you Sam. I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Sam gave Bucky his brightest gap toothed smile, immensely happy for both of them. “Likewise.”

Thor was the next to pop his head in, accompanied by his wife Jane and their baby. Becca and Natasha sauntered in with margaritas in hand, twin expressions of smug happiness on their faces. Sam and Steve had closed the gym for the afternoon, enabling everyone to join them for a late lunch. Steve figured funding for an impromptu party for all of his nearest and dearest was a small price to pay to get the love of his life back.

Bucky stayed glued to Steve’s side for the entire party. Likewise, Steve kept a hand on him at all times, whether it was wrapped around Bucky’s or resting around the other man’s waist, it was like a lifeline tethering them together. There was some gentle ribbing from Pietro and Scott about Steve finally manning up but overall everyone treated Steve’s unofficial coming out party as if it were the most normal thing in the world. Steve was both relieved and a little ashamed he had been so concerned. He loved these guys like family, he should have known they would accept him no matter what.

As the party died down their assortment of friends trailed off to get about their days. Natasha and Sam had been sitting together at the bar for the better part of an hour, much to Steve and Bucky’s amusement. They were just a hair too close for it to be casual and the faint smile on Natasha’s face cemented Bucky’s assumption that she was smitten.

“I’ll see you at the apartment later. Or tomorrow.” Becca teased, giving her brother a hug goodbye. “Don’t hurry home for me.”

“I won’t.” Bucky assured her. He watched her go, leaving just him and Steve left in the room. “You ready to head back to your place?” he asked.

“Yeah,” Steve looked down at him with a fond smile, “I think I am.”

Bucky snorted a laugh, “You think so? You really should be more certain about things, Steve. Would’ve saved us a lot of trouble.”

Steve bit the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing. “Well, I know one thing for sure.”

“Oh really? And what’s that?” Bucky grinned, playing along.

“That I love you.” Steve leaned down to kiss Bucky sweetly.

“Well then.” Bucky smiled widely against Steve’s mouth, “That’s a really good start.”

Mr. Love: Ike’s Choice

Author’s note:

This story is one of my own OC for the game Mr. Love: A Queen’s Choice. Except for Ike and her family, all the characters belong to the creators of Mr. Love: A Queen’s Choice. This fan fiction will contain spoilers for the game so, if you haven’t played it yet or are not caught up to Chapter 18 in the game, this is your warning. (Though it will take me quite a while to get to any sort of spoiler and I will mark it as such when it comes to it so you have time :P) This is merely a fan fiction of the game containing my own character and her story. None of this is cannon. All that said, Mr. Love is such an amazing game. It’s so much more than just some Otome mobile game. Its story is intriguing, and the gameplay is addicting in the best possible way. The development team are so respondent and understanding and honestly just want you to enjoy their game. I have! And I will! And I plan to show how much I do through this Fan fiction! I’m honestly just here for a good time so let’s have fun! Right? I plan on posting on Wednesday/Thursdays so stay tuned!! I want to show you guys the world I have been making for so long and my love for this game. So, let's get started, shall we? :D

Warnings: Talk of death (it’s just talk. There’s no real death. More like existential dread), Talk of abuse (this is just character development. It’s not an angst I swear), Grammar mistakes (I tried cleaning this the best I can but I may have missed somethings. I’m sorry ^^;), fluff, and cliffhangers. A lot of them. Prepare for one heck of a story

Chapter one:

Part one:

There is no such thing as a good way to die. Death is death. There is absolutely no way death could be justified. But that is the last thing you are thinking when it is your life that is at risk. The first thing of course being, “I hope he doesn’t miss me.”

>>>

It was hard to believe that I had been working as a producer for Ike ’n Bar Production Company for nearly two years now. I founded this company alongside my foster father, Bartholomew Schmidt. Bart had an opportunity to create something. Something that would bring love and entertainment to children and adults alike. Something that would bless the world with its presence.... He couldn’t make it past week one, so he called me in.

I am not one that wavers from the facts. There is a place for everything in this world and I do my best to put everything in that place. I didn’t spend four years of my life studying the answers of the world to be creative. So, when Bart turned to me for help with his new show idea, I was more than reluctant to help.

“Come on.” He begged wrapping his hands around each other, “They won’t let me pitch the idea until the plot holes are fixed. You’re the only person I know who will tell me exactly what is wrong without sparing my feelings!”

“Your TV show idea is a waste of my time.” I deadpanned.

“See?!” Bart stared at me with pleading eyes, “Just read the pitch... please?” After a couple minutes of awkward silence to finally cave. I read it over once. Then twice. Then a third time. I still had no idea what the show was about.

“So, let me get this straight.” I sighed, “It is a sitcom about a teenage girl, who happens to be an alien, living her life as a normal teenager.” Bart nodded excitedly. “But her family and friends have no idea what she is. And she has to keep the powers secret because… reasons.”

“See?!” Bart laughed, “You get it! For some reason the network thought it was confusing.”

“...I’m going to say this, and I want you to keep an open mind.” I handed the pitch back to Bart, “The show stinks. We are scrapping this idea and coming up with a new one.”

“Oh come-...we?”

“There is no way you are going to make it through this business alive without me. So, let’s talk about an idea that isn’t overused and unoriginal and actually has some taste.”

“.... Did you just hire yourself on my team?”

“Yes. Do you have a pen and paper on you? Someone should be taking notes.”

The new show we had pitched to the network was a hit. A sitcom about a family of robbers evading the police. They are trying to have a normal life as they live on the lamb. We called it, Show Me the Honey. Sending our average amount of views over fifty thousand. We worked on that show as we pitched others and made a name for ourselves and the company. Since I wasn’t one for limelight, Bart took care of the field work as I worked as the co-head of Ike ’n Bar Productions from behind a screen and in my office.

Things were just the way they should be. With me out of the way. Maybe if things stayed that way, I wouldn’t be where I am now. I could be at that desk right now. Working on the next show. Calling on my assistant for a coffee. Telling off the latest intern for screwing up the order of the files. I could even hear my father’s voice again as he calls me with updates from the field. But sadly, all good things must come to an end. This end started with one name. Victor.

“Victor?”

I repeated to Bart over the phone, stalling my note taking on the pad next to me. I was at my office that Monday afternoon. The sun was shining through the window behind me and onto my large, glass, desk. The sunlight reflected off my screen and into my eyes, causing my already rotten mood to worsen.

“Yes!” He excitedly sang, “You have an interview with him today at three!”

“That’s in two hours.”

“Right!”

“...Bart. This man is the CEO of LFG.”

“Correct!”

“Loveland Financial Group.”

“Wow, Ike! You’ve sure got this down!”

“...OK hold on, you want me to go to the head of the largest leading investor in all of Loveland and ask him for funding on a TV show that hasn’t even been green lighted yet?! And you want me to prepare for it in under two hours.”

“Oh, come on. Saying it that way makes it sound bad.” Bart pouted. “Miracle Writer is going to be a hit! And we are a well-known company! It's not like we are asking too much from them! Just a little something to start us off. Besides I already told him that my amazing co-head, Ike, was going to be meeting him so there is no backing out now.”

“Bart, why aren’t you going? Aren’t interviews your thing?”

“They are but… I’ve heard some ghost stories about Victor.”

“Ghost stories?” I skeptically muttered as I held my throbbing head in my hands.

“I hear he tends to be… stubborn when it comes to funding companies.” Bart said this in a low voice as if Victor would appear behind him to overhear his words.

“Oh, and you’re informing me about this now instead of a few days prior so I could prepare for such an important interview with him. Makes sense.”

“Ike, I know it’s a little out of nowhere-”

“A little?!” I scoffed lifting my head back up and pulling my bushy brown hair out of my eyes as I arched my eyebrows uselessly to the receiver.

“But just hear me out, ok?” Bart pleaded helplessly. I stayed silent. Bart continued, “Victor is known to be brash. He rarely, if ever, smiles. In fact, his poker face is known to strike fear into even the strongest of soldiers. He yells more often then he praises. His stance towers over most people and it sends a level of power that is like none you have ever seen. But most importantly, he is extremely close minded when it comes to lending his money. So, it would need to take a strong headed and strong-minded person to get through to him. To make him see that they are worth every dollar of his-”

“And you want me to do the interview because he reminds you of me.”

“Man, I can’t get anything past you.”

Bart had a point. I have a tough time with my emotions. Let alone other people’s. I am known to be inscrutable in the office and outside of it. In my defense, my tactless rule over the office is why everything runs smoothly. No one second guesses my commands and, if they do, it would result in an outcome that could only ignite more fear towards me. Besides, showing no emotions trains the mind to adapt and overcome the words of others. Which helps suggesting the amount of words the office has to say about me narrows down to about four letters.

The main reason I don’t mind it all though is because Bart is loved in the office. His bright and fun-loving attitude is a refreshment for everyone there. They all welcome him in with open arms and follow his every word with preciseness. He is so soft with them and normally brings free lunches for the office when he visits. Of course, all that sweet talk makes him a doormat when it comes to asking for things from him, but no one would take advantage of that. And get away with it that is.

Bart can barely talk to me without cowering under my intensity when we are face to face. I can’t imagine what Victor would do to him. He’d probably chew him up and eat him alive.

“Fine.” I caved, “If I’m doing this, I need to start working now. So, I have to go.”

“Ikamara Bikira, you are a lifesaver!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!”

I groaned slightly as I hung up the phone. Interviews made me uncomfortable. How do you start it off? Do you need to make small talk? Would it be rude to just jump into the subject at hand? Should you address people by their first name or something a little more formal? Do I need to smile the whole time? Or should I be serious from beginning to end? I rubbed my temples to soothe my growing headache.

“That man is going to be the death of me.” I muttered under my breath. Though this isn’t the first time he has thrown me under the bus, I owed him my life. He and his wife, Maria, were the first foster family to take me in and want to keep me. I had been through five foster homes before theirs and I had the scars to prove it. I rubbed my arm as I recalled the memories. The first home sent me to a sort of bootcamp. The second home neglected me. Third home gave me too much of the wrong kind of attention. Fourth home made me lose parts of myself. Including feeling in my left arm and my voice. And the fifth home... Snapping back to reality, I smoothed out the sleeves to my shirt and saved the sad excuse of a report on my computer. I can’t let Bart down. It’s just an interview. I can do this. I reached into the cabinet next to my desk for papers on out new show “Miracle Writer” and a couple pods of Advil.

Stuck in traffic, I impatiently tapped at the handles of my motorbike. Normally traffic at that time wasn’t too bad but for some reason, we were at a standstill. Unable to rub away my ever-increasing headache, I looked impatiently down the line of cars ahead of me. They were stalled at one stoplight. Even though the light was green on our side, the road was blocked by another line of cars ahead of them. Keeping the car in front of me in my peripherals, I unzipped my leather jacket and pulled my phone from inside my blazer. I opened my moments and checked trending. “Super Star, Kiro, Signs New Albums at The New Light Mall.” So that’s why traffic is so horrible. The line of cars blocking the road must be the line of fans heading to the New Light Mall. I looked enviously at the line. Though immensely irritating, I would kill to be a part of that line if it meant I got to meet Kiro.

Kiro was an inordinately talented superstar. The spunky blond-haired, teal eyed man was very popular among teens and adults alike. He was an idol among millions for his talents. Which varied from acting to singing to dancing to even fashion. It seems like this young boy was too good to be real. Many believed he had the superpower to woo people with one glance. I, of course, found this difficult to believe…. Though even I found it hard not to enjoy his presence.

In fact. I was a very big fan of his. He just so happened to be my idol. His music was the main thing that got me through so many things. Moving from foster parent to foster parent, when I had become selectively mute, moving to a new school, the events of the fifth foster house. Kiro meant more to me than most things in my life. But you’d never catch me screaming his name or crying at the sheer thought of him. I had self-control. I had to have it. If any mention of me being a fan of Kiro in the office and my tough manager cred would be flushed down the drain. I had to keep my obsession closeted at all costs.

The cars ahead of me started slowly moving again so I put away my phone and slowly followed. The cars stopped soon after. I moaned and checked the time on my watch. 2:30. Maybe walking to LFG would be faster than this.

Finally, my bike slowly rolled up to the stoplight. Past this light, the traffic was much more free-flowing. I was the second vehicle in line. I could almost smell the freedom. My eyes lazily drifted to the sidewalk next to the stoplight pole. There stood a young man staring intently at his phone. He wore a black baseball hat, a red and white hooded t-shirt, and black jeans. He also wore accessories containing a pair of bulky headphones around his neck and a pair of sunglasses. I looked up at the sky. Dark clouds covered most of it. Why was he so heavily protected from the sun?

The APS from the other side of the street started beeping, signaling to a group of pedestrians that it was time for them to cross. The man started impulsively making his way to the street, not paying any attention to the fact that it was not his turn to walk. I watched as a yellow sports car started making its way down to the light and straight towards the man. I looked up at mine helplessly. Still red. I checked my watch. 2:45. I didn’t have time for this.

I cursed to myself and pulled my bike to the side of the road. I quickly pulled out my keys and dashed down the crosswalk and to the man. The car drove closer to the light. The car’s horn finally started blasting which finally pulled the man’s attention off his phone and to the road. He froze in place as the car came speeding towards him. I jumped off the ground and dove into the man, shoving him off the crosswalk and back onto the sidewalk. Safe from the sports car that now had zoomed past the light and down the highway. I lay on him protectively as I caught my breath. I pushed myself onto my hands and caught the last glimpse of the car before it sped out of sight.

I cursed at it uselessly. I sighed and finally looked down at the man. “You O-” I held my breath. The fall had knocked the hat off the man, revealing wild, bright, blond hair. The sun shone onto his sunglasses just enough to show his teal eyes sparkling as he made eye contact with me. My eyes went wide. It couldn’t have been him. There was no way it was him.

“You- you saved my life!”

It was him. There was no way you could mistake that mesmerizing voice of his. Especially if you listened to him as often as I did. It was a higher-pitched voice but there was a sense of joy with every word he spoke. As if merely speaking was a gift to him. As hearing it was a gift to me.

“Thank you!” Kiro smiled at me.

I was wondering if you ever thought that lukkanette would be a healthier realtionship that adrienette marrinette has idolised Adrien for so long and placed him on a pedestal but Luka isn't he's shown to imdidatly care for marrinette and prioritise her and they are given a less idol and more friend based realtionship I love all the ships in ml but even then lukkanette is a not ever gonna happen but almost purely based in cannon ship

At the current place that the series is at, I do find it healthier, but it has nothing to do with Marinette or idolization. It’s because of Adrien. Plus you can read about my absolute deep contempt for the concept of “pedestals” that this fandom has invented

Adrien is the unhealthy one who isn’t changing, imo. Just look at their reactions to rejection. When Marinette finds out that Adrien likes Kagami, she puts her feelings aside to help him because it’s what he wants, it’ll make him happy, and she respects his choice even if it hurts. She lets a few snarky comments slide out but she’s trying to put his feelings before hers because she loves him and wants him to be happy.

When Ladybug doesn’t show up to a date she didn’t even agree to, he throws a fit mid akuma attack and is cold to Ladybug. Ladybug is the one to apologize and in return gets a weak “me too” kind of sorry. She explains she’s in love with someone else, and it SEEMS like he accepts her friendship and respects her decision. Until Frozer. Where he has amnesia and does the exact same thing. Hits on her, gets rejected, and blames Ladybug for him being hurt. He puts his feelings before hers despite the fact he’s supposed to be in love with her and should respect her decision.

But Adrien is never meant to feel bad about how he acts, the focus is on how bad he feels because he isn’t loved in return. So they give him a sympathy girlfriend and set him up with Kagami.

Yet even this ended up showing how bad Adrien is with relationships. Here he is with a girl who made no secret she’s interested in him and whom he believes he is also interested in, and yet he invites others on his date without asking her, lies about why his female friend is date crashing, ignores Kagami multiple times for his female friend, and then ditches her at the rink when an akuma attacks (I’ll admit he can’t help that last one since he’s a hero but Kagami doesn’t know that). And then to round it all off he tells his date Thanks that was fun but I think I’m still in love with that other girl so basically you have no shot.

Honestly Kagami should’ve shut her car door on his hand for wasting her goddamn time.

Adrien isn’t ready for a relationship with ANYONE until he learns to be more intuitive. Some of that is him not understanding social norms, but most of it comes from him being impulsive and not thinking about how he effects others. He’s too wrapped up in his own drama to consider how Kagami would feel about being surprised with two strangers on their date or how Ladybug would feel when her partner would abandon her mid battle because she couldn’t accept his rose, even after she explained she was in love with someone else.

It’s such a confusing concept for me because when it comes to people taking advantage of him, like Gabriel or Chloe or Lila, he’s a doormat who not only won’t speak up for himself but also won’t speak up for others and he needs to be more selfish. But when it comes to the people that care about him and actually like him, like Marinette or Kagami or Plagg, he walks all over their feelings because he’s TOO selfish. So until he figures out a way to balance this out, I don’t think he’s ready for a relationship with anyone, and I don’t like the idea that he should be rewarded for his crummy behavior with a girlfriend.

Luka is not fleshed out. He’s like 1/3 of a character. But he’s the only one in the entirety of the show that has never come down on Marinette or criticized her having feelings or tried to shame her in anyway. He’s intuitive to her feelings, he immediately noticed when Marinette was upset when he teased her for stuttering and tried to cheer her up again. Some of him thinking she’s amazing is off (she can’t actually pick locks but you know…secret identities) but he sees how brave she is and appreciates her. There’s a lot of potential and I don’t see the flags I see with Adrien or even Kagami.

And I’m sorry but after Chameleon and how little credit even her own best friend gives her, I am dehydrated for Marinette Support and if Mr. Guitar Man is the only source of water that’s not laced with SALT I’mma go for that Oasis right thar.

#ml salt #adrien salt #frozer salt #my opinion #lukanette #guys I still ship adrienette because fanworks are amazing #buuuuut I'm side eyeing lukanette #with like #my whole head #ask zoe

Eugenesis Part Two, Scene Six: A Very Large Friend Wakes Up From His Nap

The Autobots are getting slaughtered. Ultra Magnus makes the call for Metroplex to be woken up.

See, Springer’s a classy addict- he only gets high on the name-brand stuff.

Back on Cybertron, Nightbeat’s just as appalled as I am that High Command wants him to bring back Optimus Prime. Prowl’s made this choice because he doesn’t think he has the metaphorical balls to lead in this large of an impending crisis, and that’s not me trying to be funny about it.

You’ve had this job for an hour and you’ve already given up. Have a little self respect, Prowl.

So, here’s the plan: Nightbeat goes back in time to when the Ark was buried under Mt. Hilary on Earth, grabs Optimus, has him lead the cause for a bit, then hits him over the head with a shovel and stuffs him back into the proper time and place once they’re done with him, that way the fabric of reality- which at this point is more of a fishing net with how many holes it’s got punched through it- doesn’t tear. Sounds simple, right?

But Nightbeat brings up a good point:

Optimus needs better friends.

This is where Perceptor brings out the memory-wipe device, which they’re planning to use on Optimus once this whole thing is over. This is an integral part of the plan. Wiping their leader’s memory with an experimental device. Has it been tested? Is this a cruelty-free mind-wiper? We just don’t know.

Nightbeat brings up some very good points, both within the story, and in reference to the meta here. He’s very genre-savvy like that. He isn’t on-board with this at all, especially because with how dangerous things are about to get. Perceptor spits out some science to try and ease his mind, but Nightbeat is having none of it. Prowl attempts to appeal to his more empathetic nature.

You read that right. Prowl.

"Yeah, he’d want to live, but fuck his personal agency in any of this!”

-Prowl Transformers, Eugenesis

They eventually get Nightbeat to agree to the plan, if only to move the plot along. He pulls together a team, and they’ll be heading for the Acid Wastes to use the time-travel rift very soon.

Meanwhile, on the Quintesson warship, Lord Xenon is taking a gander at the teleport, specifically the bodies of a couple of folks who just got back via said teleport and the armor they were wearing to keep from getting torn apart by the process.

I hope that womb-juice is pulp-free. This is just planting the seed, we’ll get back to this plot point later, I suppose.

Back on the ground, Mindwipe’s busy with waking up the big guy, plugging in all the codes and passwords needed to get things rolling.

Mindwipe, sweetie, you’re doing amazing.

Everything’s going to hell- the Autobots are losing ground rapidly, the ground won’t stop quaking, the lower levels of the city are flooding, and there’s still another two-and-a-half minutes to go before Metroplex is up.

He finishes plugging in the codes and BAMFs on out of there, alongside every single other citizen of Autobot City. You don’t want to stick around when the big boy wakes up to kick some tail, it would seem.

Roberts, stop trying to make me want to fuck a city; it isn’t gonna happen, regardless of how good a tan it has.

Metroplex wakes up, pissed. The city explodes, repeatedly, all over, and standing in its wake is the giantest of giant robots.

And General Rodern couldn’t be more pleased.

---

Brief aside, while we’re on this topic:

The Titans are a weird part of the lore for me. They’re sentient, living beings, with the same level of intelligence and individuality as all the other Transformers… and yet they never seem to have any agency. Others are always telling them how to live, how to exist, what they’ll do and how they’ll look. Not just short-term, either- Autobot City’s been established for at least a year in this story. What would the Autobots- hell, what would anyone- do if a Titan just said “no thanks, I’m good”? It’s not like they could really stop them.

I’ve yet to see any of the Transformers media touch on this as a concept. Maybe I’ve missed something, but an entire city just going rogue seems like it’d be a fun story. You could get some mileage out of exploring the moral issues with locking a sentient being within their own body for years while tinier people live inside them. Talk about body horror.

Okay, aside over!

---

Rodern orders for the transformation to begin- what exactly this means hasn’t been established, but I imagine it’s going to be something positively wild. Outside, the troops start dive bombing Metroplex.

That’s friggin’ poetry right there.

Rodern fires everything he’s got at Metroplex, who reacts as if he’s been swarmed by bees. Metroplex, of course, retaliates, and nearly rips the plating off the warship. Rodern tells them to keep going. Rodern may not fully understand just what he’s up against.

While this is going on, we take a look inward, into the depths of Metroplex, to find Wheeljack passed out in his lab. He wakes up to find Centurion and Mainframe hard at work to get the space bridge up and running.

Back outside, the Enslaver transforms into a giant cannon, still floating in the air. It fires and takes Metroplex’s arm off. Good for the Quintessons. Now they just have to not die while the damn thing recharges for nearly a minute.

Wheeljack’s joined in on the space bridge work, and getting generally furious that things aren’t working out perfectly. The bridge eventually gets its act together and shows us a spot on Cybertron. The intent here is to get Prowl’s attention by way of the power surge this whole thing is going to cause, so he can send reinforcements. That’s Wheeljack’s whole plan. Sure hope Prowl isn’t too distracted to notice.

Hey, cannon’s recharged! They shoot Metroplex in the gut. He definitely feels that one. Rodern may actually fully understand just what he’s up against after all.

Wheeljack instructs Metroplex to head for the space bridge. The moment the Titan’s foot touches the portal, another shot is fired and Metroplex snaps in two, his upper half landing on Cybertron. The space bridge cuts off. Metroplex is frickin’ dead. Wheeljack, you plan sucks.

Add him to the tally, I suppose. That’s three characters who have died on-screen, so to speak. Man, now I feel bad. Poor Metroplex.

G1 Episode 30: Transcript

Episode Show Notes

[This can also be found on AO3!]

[Stinger]

S: Black, like it’s-

O: Yes, it's completely black. Like straight fucking coffee. It is the sludge from hell.

[Intro Music]

O: Hello, welcome to the Afterspark Podcast, an episode by episode recap of the Generation 1 Transformers cartoon. I'm Owls!

S: And I'm Specs.

O: And today we're gonna be talking about episode number 30: Day of the Machines! Let's talk about giant robots today, shall we?

S: Yeah.

O: [Laughter] We start with, of course: Midnight, Quantum Laboratories, home of America's most secret inventions.

S: A security guard finds some um, “misplaced” items- ah, some very familiar misplaced items. [Laughter] Oh-

O: Hi, Soundwave! So the guard picks up- a picks up Soundwave along with a box and a guitar case and takes them to the Lost and Found.

S: It looked like it was in someone's office. Sooooo, why does the security guard uh, take it to Lost and Found? Why does he even do that? I mean, he says something about the absent-minded professor being at it again. Um, does this mean he just does this with anything that's left in people's offices?

O: He is like the most passive-aggressive security guard ever. [Laughter] (Or whatever he is.) Because, like, oh that would be super annoying every time you come in it's like, where- where's my office plant? I guess, you know, Roger took it back to the lost and found cuz Roger is a jerk.

S: Yeah.

O: [Laughter]

S: Laserbeak and Soundwave transform and uh, Soundwave tosses a key to Laserbeak, telling him to release Megatron.

O: And, oh my god, Megatron’s in the frickin’ guitar case. Why didn't he just transform instead of them unlocking it? Why do they care about the structural integrity of this random guitar case?

S: Maybe it would be uncomfortable to transform and burst out of it? It’s- I don't know.

O: Okay, so Megatron doesn't like being uncomfortable. Is that why he was in a plush guitar case?

S: Obviously.

O: [Laughter] He’s gotta ride in comfort!

S: Once Megatron's free Soundwave grabs the box and Megatron blasts the Lost and Found, uh, door?-

O: Gate.

S: Gate-

O: They were like in a kind of gated, like, a clear fence area if that makes sense.

S: Yeah.

O: Chain-link fence, that’s the word I’m looking for, sorry.

S: Yeah- Megatron blasts the a- chain-link entrance to the Lost and Found with his fusion cannon.

O: And yet the guitar case will survive this! It just gets left behind.

S: That's a lot of attention to detail for something that does not matter at all.

O: [Laughter] Right?! Megatron and Soundwave then subvert some tanks by flying over them undetected.

S: You know, in the gentle glow of the moonlight.

O: I'm sorry, I'm still stuck on the whole “Megatron being somewhat subtle” here thing.

S: It's Megatron, what can you do?

O: [Snicker]

S: So Megatron, uh, blasts a hole in the roof of the building that they land on.

O: Well, okay, subtle for him. [Laughter] We are then introduced to the most powerful computer on earth, TORQ III.

S: This implies the existence of TORQs I and II, so what happened to them? For that matter, why is it Decepticon-scaled?

O: No one knows, although I do love the image of TORQ I and II being shoved into, like, a broom closet somewhere. Probably rather glad they're in that broom closet, considering what happens to TORQ III after this.

S: Yeah.

O: So, Megatron then... reprograms TORQ III to serve only him by using this really phallic looking thing that comes out of his helm.

S: It's a literal mind fuck, guys.

O: Literally! That looks like that is what is happening!

S: Yes!

O: Very, very much! [Laughter]

S: Yes, like you weren’t watching that bit when we scripted this and then I threw it out and then when we rewatched it and you were like, “Eeeaaaurgh!”

O: Yeah, I was like, “Okay sure, mind fuck,” cuz I'm like looking down and typing and then I look up, when I had to rewind for some reason and I was like, “Oh my god!” [Laughter] And she’s like, “Yeah, that’s why I said it!” I’m like, I wasn’t looking. [Laughter] Well, that image will never leave my head. Great!

S: And now it's in yours!

O: [Laughter] Or it will be! We have screenshots. Anyway, TORQ begins blaring, “Illegal access! Illegal access!”

S: Oh, that brings to mind so many bad things.

O: Yeah, it does! Yikes!

S: “It certainly is,” Megatron replies.

O: It's amazing. I love it. [dissolves into laughter]

S: Oh god, the computers’ screen-face-thing is purple, so what were these people thinking? This is like Decepticon catnip. Did they hear it was purple and decided they needed to have it, in addition to it being the most powerful computer?

O: No, Megatron heard it was purple and decided they needed- needed to have it. [Laughter]

S: He would. So, Megatron, being himself, procedes to program it with his personality because what could be better? More of him!

O: Okay, bu- but why does sticking his head-dick into the computer make it into a copy of him? I have so many questions right now, the first of which is, why would this be a good idea?! Did Megatron just forget he's a complete total bastard who doesn't like authority?

S: Obviously, there's no one better than him so…

O: That's fine and dandy until the thing tries to rebel against you and, I'm like, it’s you, of course it's going to.

S: It's a blind spot he has.

O: Obviously. Soundwave and Megatron, then open the box they had brought in with them, and put the microchips inside onto these really strange looking robots around the lab TORQ is in.

S: Yeah, yeah, I mean what possible applications these robots have? How do they function? One’s got noodly arms that don't even- that they don't nearly seem like they should be able to lift anything. And they're all just sort of scattered around the lab higgledy-piggledy.

O: Yeah.

S: In a line? Or something, I don’t know.

O: It's weird.

S: Once the microchips, apparently called ‘circuit linkers’, touch the other robots TORQ can control them.

O: He then uses Soundwave for target practice. Another lovely character for my shit list, apparently.

S: Owls is developing quite a shit list.

O: I am! I've got my hit list. The funny thing is there will be several that will die. Foreshadowing for the movie.

S: [Laughter]

Unfortunately, characters I actually like will die so I don't really think that gets me, you know, anything, honestly.

S: [Laughter] There's no net gains there.

O: There’s no net gains here.

S: And so, elsewhere, two scientists are working super late, wondering if they made TORQ- TORQ III even though it's not specified here- you know, too smart.

O: And TORQ could control the whole world, uh, whatever would we do if the wrong person got ahold of him, uh, you know, so, you mean, like right now, this very second!

S: Ah, one of the scientists notices that it's, you know, fucking after midnight and says they should go home and get some sleep.

O: He says “we.” Are the scientists lovers?

S: It's possible. Maybe they're married?

O: It’s getting spicy tonight, baby. Welcome to Dr. Love’s laboratory! And so as he turns to leave- or as one of the scientists turns to leave, the robot controlled door closes and locks them in. When they go to call maintenance, TORQ tells them that maintenance can't help them.

S: This is why robot doors are bad, guys.

O: Or, not having a secondary method in which to exit, at least, is very bad.

S: Yeah, the other scientist um, starts for rebuild- rebuilding his, ah, little TV phone into something that can call long distance in order to call for help because, I guess, TORQ does not control the phone lines.

O: Or won't, if he rebuilds it?

S: I guess? I don’t know. Elsewhere, by dawn's morning light, Megatron, Rumble, and Frenzy are flying around, putting more of the control chips onto some oil tankers because that's how that works, I guess?

O: Di- did you know oil tankers come in fleets, Specs?

S: It seems like so much wasted effort went into the shot. They clearly drew all of these ships individually.

O: Ah, the days before digital animation and coloring, I think.

S: But they could have just Xeroxed one of them and been done-

O: [Laughter] Or even traced! Maybe, I guess.

S: I mean, look at 101 Dalmatians, they did fuckin Xerox-

O: That’s true-

S: So many Xeroxed dalmatians-

O: Shit, that's right, there are a ton of Xeroxed dogs. [Laughter] Elsewhere, at the Ark, Teletraan warns Optimus that there's skullduggery afoot!

S: A bunch of oil tankers are converging near the Decepticon base which- is in the middle of the ocean?

O: In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, according to this map. To which I have to ask, how the hell did Carly get in there a few episodes back?

S: She chartered a plane, a train, and an automobile, and then teeny-weeny little boat.

O: Well, while I do certainly think Carly is capable of that, considering she's badass. I refuse to believe this map is accurate and they have to be in the Pacific Ocean. It just seems too close to the Autobot base in other episodes not to be. If, regardless, if they drove all the way to Washington DC no problem in that one episode. Either that or the platform isn't built on top of their base as the dialogue seems to imply and it's just, you know, one of their bases of the week.

S: Which they do seem to have so many of those.

O: They do have a lot of those.

S: Yeah and so, well, Optimus smells a rat named Megatron.

O: I mean, he's not wrong.

S: He really isn't and, uh, so Quantum Labs is finally able to get a hold of Optimus, I think, through Teletraan. I don't remember.

O: Yeah, I mean, Teletraan 1 basically operates as their phone so-

S: Yeah.

O: -Yes.

S: Yeah. So, the scientists at Quantum Labs warns them about TORQ's sudden case of the evils.

O: And Optimus is ready to head towards the Lab. Hound offers to investigate the oil tankers all converging in the middle of the goddamn Atlantic Ocean.

S: You're not a boat, Hound. You're really not.

O: It's ok, Skyfire’s gonna come. Skyfire and Spike. [Laughter] You know, the dream team!

S: Optimus transforms and, um, Wheeljack, Prowl, Sideswipe, and Ironhide are suddenly right there! Right there! Where the hell did those guys come from?

O: Through the power of camera angles they were there the whole time.

S: Prime's group arrives at the Labs and Optimus rips the crossing barrier off so they can enter before, you know, being shot at by, you know, the robots. Or tanks?

O: They are attacked by all the tanks from before, that apparently don't have any humans controlling them.

S: Oh, oh so that's why they were so useless earlier.

O: Oh, yeah, probably.

S: The Autobots are surrounded by this plethora of vehicles as Optimus channels Charlie Brown, “Good grief!”

O: Or Jotaro from JoJo's Strange Adv- Bizarre Adventure.

S: Yeah, Being cars themselves, they got the brilliant idea to, um, shoot out the tires on the attacking vehicles.

O: This only gets them so far, so Optimus Prime speed dials the Dinobots by pressing his abs.

S: Ah, ab cell-phone service.

O: I mean, it was the 80’s. I mean, why not make the cell phone your entire ab if it's got to be huge? Might as well, right? I mean, at least, you save a little space, but that being said you would think it’s in his helmet considering the little antenna a few episodes back. But continuity? What's that?

S: And I’m just imagining someone going up and knocking on your grill while in truck mode.

O: [Laughter] “Optimus Prime call Dinobots! Dinobots smash gas station!” [Laughter] “Wait, no!”

S: So Peter Cullen talks to himself for a few lines and the Dinobots arrived with Grimlock in the lead.

O: Good thing Peter Cullen only does Prime and Ironhide because if we had to say that- if we said that joke for every time Welker talked to himself it would be absurd.

S: We'd be here all day.

O: We would be here all day!

S: Optimus orders the Dinobots to smash here-

O: Which, obviously, being Dinobots they comply, there is much mayhem and explosions.

S: Yep. So, apparently, the doors are controlled by a computer but not the windows because the two scientists are able to shout to the Autobots from their open window.

O: I also am laughing because a lot of like ah, multi-story buildings that are, like, work places you can't even open the windows.

S: Especially now. You might have been able to in the ‘80’s.

O: Yeah.

S: But, uh- but, uh-

O: Definitely be a question because probably not every place had AC either.

S: Yeah.

O: So I imagine it would have been more common. Sludge gives Optimus a lift to the window and he helps the two scientists escape.

S: Optimus asks a question and then um, answers it himself with, you know, the answer, of course, being Megatron.

O: He's basically, like, a machine rebellion!

S: The scientists are confused as TORQ shouldn't be able to control things that aren't, you know, specifically designed for it. Then Sparkplug shows up to explain about the chips the Decepticons have been using them. Um.

O: Where did he come from? Why are characters poofing into existence so much in this episode?

S: The power of convenience.

O: The power of convenience. Optimus then takes the chip from Sparkplug and sticks it into his arm.

S: Optimus, why would you do that? It's controlled everything else it's touched just by touching it.

O: But not him, apparently. The Autobots are led to TORQ’s hangar but the door is locked.

S: To quote Optimus, “Thankfully, I have a delicate lock-picking technique.”

O: That technique is blasting the door- [Laughter]

S: And-

O: Let it never be said that Optimus doesn't have a sense of humor.

S: Oh, oh god, he definitely has a sense of humor.

O: It's just dad humor.

S: Yeah, and so the Autobots are attacked by those funky looking machines that we saw earlier before we jet on over to Skyfire and company.

O: Apparently the Decepticons plan is to collect all the oil from the tankers and pump it down to their base but, oh no, the oil platform is protected by an unbreakable shield.

S: We've seen that one before.

O: How the heck didn’t the Autobots see the Cons building this giant freaking platform in the middle of the fucking ocean!

S: They're just not paying attention to the goddamn oceans, I don't know.

O: The Sky Spy, you have Sky Spies!

S: Yep, they land on one of the tankers. Hound and Spike exiting from Skyfire’s crotch hatch.

O: Of course.

S: They ask the captain to hide them so they can get, you know, through the shield and surprise the Decepticons.

O: Hide him how? Skyfire is huge! How are they going to hide him?

S: Mass-shifting? I don't know, somehow it works.

O: And at the boat docks, Megatron's supervising personally, for some reason, along with an incorrectly coloured Hook.

S: As the ship approaches, Hound and Skyfire jump out of a conveniently sized hole that was just on the ship's deck. I guess it's um, a hold or something? I don't know.

O: Yeah, but it was really large. Like, large enough for Skyfire to get into. I have no idea how realistic that is. And then a fight breaks out! Soundwave and some of his cassettes joining the fray as well and our dead-weight- I mean, Spike, is captured by Laserbeak pretty much immediately.

S: Yep. Megatron tells them to surrender or he'll have Laserbeak drop- drop Spike.

O: [Sarcasm] Oh no.

S: Soundwave is standing off in the background like the strong, independent tape deck he is.

O: And, back at the lab, more of those crazy machines come out of the hole Prime blasted and attack.

S: Again, what were these made for? They seem, um, perfect for hunting Autobots. Optimus, were your friends planning on doing bad things to you?

O: Quite possibly. About those bad things, Optimus is captured by the kink machine- I mean, the bondage machine- oh, I mean, the one with the tentacles. [Laughter]

S: [Laughter]

O: I’m serious, what else is that thing supposed to be for? Like, maybe that's what they were doing? Were they making a giant bondage machine for the Autobots? [Laughter]

S: [Silent laughter]

O: I broke Specs, yay! [Laughter] I’m sorry!

S: Prowl can lift as he struggles to hold one of the robot’s mouths open, so it doesn't, like, crush him.

O: But then Ironhide just walks up to his opponent, plugs a hole with his finger and then it explodes. Welcome to the Looney Tunes, starring the Autobots.

S: [Laughter] Sideswipe just makes his clap and that kills it.

O: [Laughter] Of course. So after, you know, um, all of that, they finally enter the hangar to find a maze.

S: Who designed this place?

O: I think TORQ’s done some redecorating overnight. He has had an army of, like, robo slaves at his disposal.

S: The funky-ass robots.

O: [Laughter] Kinkmatron.

S: [Laughter]

O: That’s it’s name now, no one can stop me! Optimus enters alone, uh, before we cut back to Skyfire, Hound, and Spike, who are in the Decepticon brig.

S: When the Decepticons catch naughty Autobots, they go in the naughty Autobot hole.

O: Dare I ask what that means for Spike? [Laughter]

S: [Laughter] God, there is a really terrible pun there.

O: [Laughter] Yeah, there probably is!

S: God, I am not going into that.

O: [Laughter] Nope, nope, we’ve talked about kink machines multiple times, I don’t want to get into anything else tonight!

S: Spike and his compatriots are trapped and waiting for rescue but, don't worry, Spike has a plan!

O: I feel like it's only fair, they're stuck there because of Spike in the first place. He should have a plan.

S: Well, considering what his plan is, he was the only damn one who can carry out.

O: True.

S: TORQ- Well, back with Optimus, TORQ continues to bait Optimus as, you know, our dad-bot makes his way through the maze and evil robots.

O: Optimus gets another circuit breaker- that wasn’t what it was called.

S: Circuit linker-

O: -Circuit linker put on him and this controls him. [Laughter] You know, “controls him.”

S: I guess we should assume Sparkplug or Wheeljack disabled the other one, um…?

O: That makes sense. Although I- hmmm. So through this entire section, right, I was comparing TORQ’s dialogue to Megatron. You know, since Megs programmed his personality into this computer. You know, everything seems spot-on, I can hear Megatron saying all of this but then when TORQ captures Optimus he says, “Come to me, my pet,” and I have to admit it sounds like what Megatron would say in this situation, and I basically fucking lost it while we were watching it. But to make this even better! He says, “You're mine now,” two seconds later. Apparently, Megatron's thirst for Optimus transferred over, too!

S: Yeah. Surprise! Optimus has been pretending to be controlled the entire time.

O: Of course!

S: And that broken- broken circuit linker he had earlier was, in fact, there for a reason. He swapped it with the active one.

O: How he managed to do that without touching the live one is debatable but alright.

S: I don't have the time or energy to debate it so-

O: [Laughter] Fair.

S: Let's not. TORQ orders his robots to destroy Optimus but one well-placed punch by, you know, the Dad-bot makes TORQ explode.

O: Ding-dong, the TORQ is dead.

S: TORQ I and II are probably very grateful.

O: [Laughter] I mean, TORQ III seems like a bastard. Certainly was a bastard there at the end. Soundwave warns Megatron that TORQ is no longer in control of the tankers but Megs’ will control them with his radio transmitter he's conveniently holding.

S: Does it come with a funky hat?

O: We could only hope but, sadly, no.

S: Yeah. The scientists send Optimus and company off on, like, a super-fast boat. I think it's a hydrofoil, I don't know, as they head towards the Decepticons location. So, apparently, they were close to the coast.

O: Apparently. With Sparkplug driving, by the way.

S: Oh, Sparkplug, most interesting man in the world. He knows how to do everything! He's been a ruby miner, an oil driller, a mechanic, boat captain, everything!

O: Autobot liaison?

S: Yeah.

O: And back into the brig, uh, Spike has conveniently found an electromagnet just lying around.

S: I'm starting to think this isn't so much their brig, as it is their trash-pile room.

O: Not to mention what the fuck they were using an electromagnet for or how.

S: I don't know. God, ygm Spike uses the electromagnet to magnetize the cassettes standing by the door to the walls- magnetize their guards.

O: Yes, essentially. With the cassettes incapacitated, Skyfire burst the door down- bust the door down. I know what I'm saying.

S: And through a five-second interlude we are told the Autobots in the boat are within sight, as Soundwave spots them.

O: But Megatron's not worried, they'll never get that shield, right?

S: Jetfire, Hound, and Spike find the shield generator uh, so helpfully being guarded by Frenzy.

O: Skyfire lures Frenzy away as Hound shoots the generator with one of his missiles.

S: How did Hound get his ammo back? Because I'm pretty sure they were disarmed.

O: Shhh! They don't want you to think about it, they didn't, either.

S: Well, that's true. The shield goes down just as the other Autobots arrive and, ah, you'll never guess how they do! The boat yeets itself out of the water and onto the platform and it’s horrifyingly entertaining cuz I keep imagining that the boat is gonna break.

O: Right? Another fight breaks out with Starscream, Laserbeak, and Frenzy joining Megatron and Soundwave.

S: And Megatron runs away and Optimus follows to destroy the radio transmitter.

O: Once destroyed, Optimus tells the tankers they're free to go.

S: Megatron, you know, being a sore loser sets the whole platform to explode.

O: The other Bots make it back to the boat but Prime runs to go find Skyfire and the others who who they presumably know are on there, for some reason?

S: I mean, I think-

O: I mean, it's not the worst assumption to make but, I'm like, did they see them? I don't think they did.

S: I mean, they talked to one of the tanker captains? I don't know.

O: I don’t know if they… They wouldn’t have had time. I- I'm gonna go with maybe they've all got GPS on them or something and roll with that, probably.

S: Yeah. So they all make it out on Skyfire once he's able to get, you know, out of the platform.

O: And take off.

S: Yeah.

O: One of the scientists thanks the bots for their help and makes a rather unfortunate comment about unreliable machines.

S: [Sigh]

O: You know, eating that entire foot.

S: Yeah, and he attempts to make a recovery but it's not really successful.

O: It isn’t very good.

S: And that's it! That's the end of the episode. Oh, but they brought the boat back to where it was from originally.

O: I mean, good for them for not exploding the boat, that was helpfully lent into them, I suppose.

S: Yeah.

O: But join us next time for everyone's favorite holiday: Autobot Day! Wait... wait... no? Do we mean: Decepticon Day?

S: [Sigh] Parades.

O: [Laughter]

S: There are parades.

O: Parades and I think this is a multi-parter, if I’m remembering properly?

S: Yep.

O: Cause, I think it's like Megatron’s Master Plan?

S: Yeah, I’m pretty sure that's what it is.

O: It's a multi-parts-

S: It’s two parts, I’m pretty sure. And we have fanfiction recommendations. Due to the fact that I've been swamped, I didn't come up with any so Owls has supplied our fanfiction recommendations for today.

O: Wild-card fics yet again. These had nothing to do with the episode. All right, um, so I have picked two for today. The first one is “Cuck Rung” by… I think this is said, Evedawalrus.

S: Yeah, I think that’s what it is.

O: I think that’s accurate. I can’t remember what her username is on Tumblr but, um, it is IDW continuity, it is rated T. It's technically slash but let me tell you all the slash is relatively background, for the most part, and where it's really not the main focus but it has, um, Minimus Ambus/Megatron and uh, Drift/Ratchet. Our main characters, there are more than this that have popped up since, but our main characters are Rodimus, Ultra Magnus, Drift, Ratchet, Swerve, Megatron, and Ravage.

O: Our description is: Rodimus creates a shipwide group chat. This proves to be a horrible decision. It is ongoing, it's not complete, it is multi-chapter and, let me tell you, it is hilarious. I laugh my ass off every time I read this. Um, because it is literally just a group chat with all of these characters and think of it very much like a discord where you have certain people who can, like, rename others and all this other shit. It's amazing, I highly recommend it. [Laughter]

And our second one is a “Shimmer of Hope” by NiCad? [Pronounced ny-cad]

S: Ny-cad? Nee-cad?

O: One of those.

S: The pronunciation’s debatable.

O: Thank you, Internet! It is IDW, it's rated T, it’s Gen, uh, there are no pairings, and our characters are Verity and Springer. The summary is, “What did Verity write in that thank you card to Springer, anyway?” It's a one shot. I believe this is after- it's the last of the Wreckers trilogy from the IDW comics.

S: Requiem for the Wreckers, maybe?

O: I think that one. Uh, this is right after that. It's pretty short but, um, I really like Verity so I'm like Verity needs to be in more things, so those are our recommendations for today.

S: And that just about wraps it up for us today, remember to check us out on Tumblr or Pillowfort as Afterspark-Podcast for any additional information, show notes, or links, we may have mentioned. You can also find us on Facebook and Twitter at AftersparkPod (all one word). And various other locations by searching for Afterspark…. Podcast- [Laughter]

O: [Laughter]

S: You can also find us on Facebook and Twitter at AftersparkPod (all one word). And various other locations by searching for Afterspark Podcast, such as AO3, iTunes, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, and Youtube, just to name a few.

O: Ah, feel free to send us questions on Tumblr, too. We actually, you know, have to do a mic check before we do any recording so, ah, it’s helpful for us. I have a list of questions but we're gonna run out eventually and I don't think I should be left to think of questions by myself. If you have a question about Transformers or whatever, feel free to send it to us on Tumblr and we'll probably use it for a warm-up and I'll try to answer it on Tumblr, too.

S: Yeah or, I guess, in the comments on AO3, Youtube.

O: Yep, that also works comments on AO3, Youtube Basically anywhere we respond back to which is mostly Youtube and AO3.

S: Yeah, uh, so till next time, guys! I'm Specs!

O: And I’m Owls!

S: Toodles!

HOMESTUCK EPILOGUE MEAT THOUGHTS **SPOILERS**

So i want to make some things clear before i get started. I have only read the meat option. I wanted

to also read candy so I could make this with all possible information. But meat left such a bad taste

in my mouth. And after a friend of mine told me somethings about candy i just couldnt bring my

self to read more of it.

So yes i did not like the epilogue. And this is mainly just going to be talking about some of the main

reasons why i didnt like it. And if you did like it or disagree with anything i say. Thats perfectly fine

In fact im honestly happy you could like it. I really really wanted to like it but i just. Couldnt.

So what about it gave me so much issues. The first one is the style and format and feel of it. You will

notice its very different looking from homestuck. Being all text and having 2 routes to choose from.

And alot of it feels very differnt then homestuck and to be fair. Thats the point. I had to have it

explianed to me but it seems to be mostly going for the style and taking common tropes in fan

fiction. The look of it is apprently based on a fan fiction site and the meat route is meant to be the

darker fan fiction while the candy is meant to be happier one where every ship comes true. (altho

from what ive heard it seems more depressing then the darker route so i dont get how that works but

oh well) but that is the point. So it would and should make sense that it dosnt feel like homestuck

right? Well. no. Because no matter what. This is still the offical epilogue to the story. You can make

it look unoffical as much you want. You can try to explain that its both in cannon but not in cannon

but at the end of the day it dosnt matter. Its still the epilogue. It was written in part by the actual

creator. Its on the offical site. In fact if you go on the site right now. Its the very first thing you see.

With right below it homestuck. If they really wanted to drive this fan fiction thing all the way

though. Then i think it both shouldnt have been on the offical site. And hussie shouldnt have

written it. They could have made its own lil site or heck maybe even put it up on the fanfiction site

they had been mimicking. But by putting it up on the offical site it defeats the idea that this is meant

to be fanfiction.

While im on the looks of the epilogue i also got to say i was really expecting it to do more with it.

I was expecting them to do some really intersesting things with it being in this new format. For

example something many people thought including my self was that once john went back into the

cannon the formating would change back into homestucks as it normally is. That would have been

really intersting and would have helped cement that that world being not in the cannon. But. no.

That never happens. It stays in the fan fiction form though out and thats just kinda it. It felt like a

waste. Even the meta narrtive i thought was really wasted. When dirk takes over its noting that

homestuck its self hasnt done in the past. If anything its less. Like remember when doc scratch

took over in homestuck. And the whole site it self changed. That was really cool and interesting.

But here....its just changes the black text to yellow. Thats it. And now the narration is coming from

him. I couldnt help but feel really let down by it. It just seemed like....such a waste.

Ok lets talk about the characters and story and my main issues with them. Now apprently alot of

people didnt like that it was getting much darker in areas but i didnt mind. Homestuck was never

one to shy away from dark or mature subjects and now that the characters are older them dealing

with more mature things makes sense. My issue with the story is actually that its trying to be a story

when its meant to be an epilogue. An epilogue. To me at least. Should be about just the characters.

Seeing how they are doing after the events of the main story and seeing maybe new struggles after

the credits. And while there is some of that here. Its not the focus and more of the focus is one this

new story starting. John having to go fight lord english. Dirk becoming evil. Jane wanting to

become president. I couldnt get into any of it and it never gave me a reason to. This is just an

epilogue.not homestuck 2. not a spin off of any sort. Its just meant to be a short thing on what

happened after the ending. The main story is already over. And its so fruasting becuase it had stuff

in it that i loved but they dont focus on it enough. Like theres a side thing where roxy mentions

that they and calli had been talking about gender idenity and how they had came to the conclsuion

that roxy is trans and uses he him/they them pronuons. That part. Made me so happy. I thought it

was amazing that they were doing this with their character and it was really interesting. But at the

same time i couldnt help but think how much if this had more of a focus on. Like they say calli and

roxy talked about this. And i cant help but think how much i would have loved to see that

conversation

there was also this one throw away line about how rose and her wife had been talking about

adopting. And i cant even to begin to say how much id love to read a story of just them talking

about if they should have a kid. And john discovering he has depression i thought was really good

and i wish it had more focus and had him just talking more to people about it. This epilogue left me

with just wanting so much it didnt give. Now i will give credit the roxy being trans thing didnt

just get dropped they did have it devople as time went on and it was cool but again i just wanted

more of it. The stuff with dirk and lord english just felt. Pointless. And gave me an impression that

maybe they were afraid people wouldnt be interested in the epilogue if there wasnt some kind of

stake at risk and i cant help but wonder what it would have been like if they werent in it.

My other main issue with the story is how they did sorten characters. Some i liked for example

where johnn,roxy,dave,karkat,rose and a few others.they were good and i felt they for the most part

showed how they had grown over the years and that this would be how they would naturally be

older. But others i couldnt get behind. For examples i didnt really care how they did jade. She really

didnt add anything and most of what she was doing was hitting on dave and karkat. It felt kinda like

a waste to have her just for that. Granted they do have her get possed but by then you dont really get

any more real interaction out of her so your mostly left with how she first shows up and its just ..

weak i think i would describe it as weak. Then theres characters like jane and dirk . Jane now being

just stright up a jerk letrally shamming jake to hundereds of people and dirk letrally being super

evil and doing really really fucked up things. Im not asking for characters to be perfect angels. But

this seems just to much. To go from homestuck where they had grown alot as characters and had

bettered them selfs as people. To just going to this. Its. Its very unsatisfying.

I think i would use that word to sum up meat alot. Its very . Unsatisfying. They mention in the

choice just before you pick meat or candy. That meat would be much harder to get though. But it

would be over all better for you and more satisfying to eat. For me. That never happened. Though

out it all i never get that satisying feeling. I never got that (oh ok this made it worth it) it never

never happened for me and its so fruastrating because i wanted to have that feeling so badly. I

wanted to love this but so many things about it kept making it impossible for me.

And this brings me to the final thing i want to say. Maybe my perosnal biggest issue with this and

why i cant enjoy it.

But first i want to talk about homestucks ending. To me. Homestuck ended perfectly. One could

agrue that it could have had more problems going on but to me it was what i wanted. The characters

after years of struggles. After death,pain,saddness and so many hardships. Pulled though. They

made it to the other side. They grew as people. They bettered them selfs. And got a happy ending

that they desvered and worked hard to get. And with the credits giving us insight to how it was

going over there. I couldnt help but be so happy at it. When i got to it i was very emtional and i just

felt it was so right . And a great note to end homestuck on .

But thats no longer the case. It isnt the end now. It isnt the last thing from homestuck

This is . This is the end of homestuck. This is the last note it will go out on . The epilogue. An

epilogue that. To me. Felt so unsatisfying. And put the characterss though more shit and left things

on a sad un happy note that might not get any real conlsuion. This is it. It turned an ending that

i loved. Into a bitter sweet momment. And you could say im being over dramatic. And i would

agree. I think i am. I want to just shut up and just enjoy this or ignore it. But i cant. My brain wont

shut up and let it go. That this last part of homestuck. Something i love so much. Had its final

momment be this. I just feel. So . Dissapointed by all this.

Now i want to just say some quick things here. These are just my thoughts. If you liked the epilogue

or even loved it. Im so happy for you. Honestly i mean this with all my heart. Im glad people can

and have enjoyed it. And you could also make the argument that by not reading both routes that

could be why i didnt enjoy it and maybe reading both would do so. And hey. Maybe your right. But

i cant really bring my self to do. But at the very least i got my thoughts out. And as i am wrighting

this i am already feeling so much better and im glad i could get my thoughts out there.

Man of the Hour (Damien X MC)

Book: Perfect Match

Rating: PG-13

Word Count: 1693

Author’s Note: This part 2 in the series chronicling my head-cannon of Damien and MC’s relationship up to present day, explaining why they have never been more than friends. I realize as we get more chapters of Perfect Match, my version may be shown to be all wrong, but I’m going on what we do (or don’t) know now. Part 1 is linked below.

Part 1: For Safety

It had only been 3 weeks since the initial meeting with Damien, and the trial date for Nadia’s stalker was already here. Damien had been right that catching the stalker would be no problem. They met on a Saturday, and by Wednesday Nadia was called to the police station to identify her stalker. Kai went to support Nadia, but she wasn’t disappointed to see Damien standing at the front desk when they arrived. They stood outside and made small talk while Nadia went to view the lineup.

Sadly, that was the last time Kai had seen or spoken with Damien. She didn’t know why this bothered her. Damien’s job was done, and she was in a relationship that was getting pretty serious. However, she knew there was undeniable chemistry between them, and Damien didn’t know she was spoken for. It was probably unfair of her to feel this way, but she wished he had at least asked for her phone number.

Kai felt a nervous anticipation as she got dressed and ready for the trial. Yes, she was anxious about Nadia having to testify and face her stalker in court, but she knew Damien would be there to testify as well. This might be her last chance to see him.

“Come on Kai, we don’t want to be late!” Nadia yelled from the living room of her and Kai’s shared 2 bedroom flat.

“Alright, alright, I’m coming,” Kai said as she emerged from the bathroom.

“Wow, do you and Kyle have a hot date after court?” Nadia inquired.

“What do you mean? I wear this dress to work, so it should be perfectly acceptable for the courtroom.” Kai was wearing her favorite go-to little black dress. It was nothing fancy, and the cut was conservative enough, but it accentuated her curves in all the right places. Okay, maybe she spent an hour on her hair and makeup, but it’s not like she was dressed in clubbing attire.

“It’s just…you are always put together and naturally gorgeous of course, but I usually only see you put in this much effort when you are trying to impress someone.”

“Nadia, this is a big day for you! I just want to project a good image for your sake.”

“Uh-huh. So this has nothing to do with the fact that Damien will be there?” Nadia smirked.

Kai rolled her eyes, but had nothing to say in response because Nadia was right. “Let’s just go, we don’t want to be late!”

=====

Kai spotted Damien and Nadia’s lawyer William standing outside the courtroom doors. William turned to greet them. “Well ladies, now that you are here, are you ready to go home?”

“What do you mean?” Nadia said with a concerned look on her face. “Please don’t tell me the trial was pushed back.”

“No, no, much better than that. The defendant accepted the plea deal we proposed. 3 years in prison and a no contact order for life.”

“What?! That’s incredible! I was ready to testify, but I’m so happy I don’t have to. You cannot believe the relief I feel right now.” Nadia hugged William and then Kai.

Kai was overcome with a mix of emotions herself, and before she knew what happening, she got swept up in the excitement and wrapped her arms around Damien.

A surprised “Oh!” escaped from Damien’s lips, and he tentatively hugged Kai back before quickly letting go and taking a step back.

“I’m sorry Damien, everyone else was hugging, and there you were. I have problems with personal space sometimes.” Shut up Kai, you are just making it weirder, she thought to herself. But he smells amazing. It was almost worth embarrassing yourself just to find that out.

“Don’t worry. It was just a bit of a surprise. I’m not much of a hugger,” Damien replied with a hint of a smile on his face, indicating that he wasn’t as horrified as Kai thought he might be. This was just enough to keep Kai from running out of the courthouse right at that very moment and never looking back.

“Well I don’t know about all of you, but I’m ready to celebrate!” Nadia exclaimed. “How about a party tomorrow night at our place? What do you say William? I know Kyle will be excited to hang out with his college buddy.”

William checked his calendar before responding. “I think I should be able to stop by for a bit.”

“Great!” And what about you Damien? We wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for you.”

Kai didn’t know if she wanted to thank Nadia or smack her for inviting Damien. She was both worried he would say no, and terrified he would say yes. It seemed like minutes passed before he replied.

“I don’t know. I don’t normally mix business with pleasure…” Hearing Damien say the word pleasure made Kai’s heart beat even faster. She noticed Damien glance her way. “But I guess since the trial is over, you technically aren’t my client anymore. Why not?”

=====

Damien checked the address in text from Nadia one more time. He hesitated a moment before knocking on the apartment door. He wasn’t one for big social gatherings, especially when he wouldn’t know most of the people there. And if he was willing to admit it to himself, which he wasn’t, he was nervous about seeing Kai again. She definitely wasn’t the reason he changed his outfit 3 times before settling on a fitted gray sweater and dark jeans. Okay, maybe that was part of it.

Nadia opened the door with a huge smile on her face. “Damien, I’m so glad you made it!” He handed her the bottle of Prosecco he brought, and she excused herself to the kitchen to put it on ice.

Damien scanned the room until he found her. Kai stood on the other side of the room talking to a tall man with sandy blond hair. He was kind of good looking, if you were into pretentious looking types. He was probably just a friend anyway. Kai had never mentioned a boyfriend. Kai was wearing a short floral dress and looked as gorgeous as ever.

Kai noticed Damien and instantly waved him over. “Kyle, this is Damien, Nadia’s private investigator and the reason we are here celebrating tonight.”

Kyle shook Damien’s hand with a crushing grip, as if to prove his masculinity. “So this is the man of the hour. Nice to meet you Damien, I’m Kai’s boyfriend.”

Damien’s heart sunk in his chest. If he was able to pretend on some level that he wasn’t interested in Kai before, that was over now. He just hoped the fake smile on his face didn’t give anything away. “Oh, so this is the Kyle who is also William’s friend from college? Are you a lawyer as well?”

“Yes, but I do corporate law. That’s why I referred Nadia to William instead of taking the case myself.” Of course, corporate law. That explained the pretentiousness and dry personality. Damien worked alongside many types of lawyers in his job, and he had opinions on all of them. Maybe Damien was being a bit harsh by making these assumptions before getting to know Kyle, but he was familiar with his type. Being intuitive and a good judge of character is what made Damien excel at his job. If that is the kind of guy Kai was into too, Damien would never be her type.

=====

It was a bit awkward at first having her boyfriend and the man she had a massive crush on in the same place, but after a few drinks, everyone was more relaxed. Kai was relieved when Nadia suggested Thumper for a drinking game, since it required no talking. She was fearful of what might have come out of her mouth had something like Truth or Dare or Never Have I Ever been chosen.

As the evening wore on, however, Kyle reverted to his frat boy days and got completely wasted. This shouldn’t have surprised Kai, since it happened quite frequently. Still, she was hoping he would have grown out of it by now. He was 28 after all. Maybe by the time he’s 30….

“Kyle, why don’t I take you to my room to lie down? I think the party is over for you.” Kai led Kyle to her room and struggled to keep them both from toppling over. She removed his shoes but left him on top of the covers with his clothes on. He was already passed out and snoring. Kai would be sleeping on the couch tonight for sure.

Kai returned to the living room as the last of the remaining guests were heading out.

"Thanks for coming Damien, but I don’t think I can stay up for one more minute. Hopefully we can all hang out again,” Nadia said as she turned to head to her room. “Feel free to stay and hang out with Kai. You two behave!”

Kai glared at Nadia. It could have been the drinks, but Kai swore she saw Damien’s cheeks redden. But none of it mattered. Kai was in a serious relationship with Kyle. He was smart, stable, and driven. She could ignore some of his faults because he could give her the life she always pictured. She should be happy.

“I’m sorry about that. She can be quite the comedian when she drinks.”

“No worries. This party was actually fun. I typically spend my Saturday evenings alone binge watching shows on Netflix. It was nice to be social for once.”

“Nadia was right about one thing though. We should hang out again. I know Nadia has your number but I’ll give you mine as well.” Kai grabbed Damien’s phone and put her number in before texting herself. “There, now I have your number too.”

“Well I should probably head home before I misbehave.”

Kai couldn’t tell if Damien was joking or serious, but either way, it made her feel things she shouldn’t. She resisted the urge to give him a hug goodbye, because she didn’t know if she could control what happened after that. “Goodnight Damien, hopefully I’ll see you again soon.”

Did you know @boku-no-headcanons made cannons for your bakushimanari art?

Nope, this is the first I heard of it! But as long as they’re not reposting my stuff they can do whatever, I’m happy my stuff can inspire them!

Anon said: saw u in youtube rewind congrats

.................. are you sure this ask was meant for me?

Anon said:I tried to message you, I found some accounts using your art if you're interested in knowing who they are :/

Anon said:@sweetheart_kirishima on instagram posted your art without credit.

Unless it’s tumblr, which has a form I can fill specifically for reposts to have the thing taken down, I can’t actually do anything even if you guys tell me. It’s... frustrating, cause you’d think by this point such popular social media sites/apps would have some way for preventing art thefts, but they got no report option that can be used for art unless I’m the copyright owner - does that apply to fanarts when the characters aren’t mine and I wasn’t authorized by the original author to make them? Probably not. So I can’t do anything for it, not even ask the reposter to be kind and take my art down, cause as I’ve already said I’m not on any of those platforms

So I thank you both a lot for having thought about letting me know, but it’s... sort of useless. If you could ask the reposter on my behalf though I’d be incredibly grateful!

Anon said: your kiribaku childhood friends au give me life tHANK YOU

Anon said:the new chapter has me crying over bakukami omfg these lo s e RS I'm so glad they're friends

WHAT A MOOD THO

Anon said:HELLO, YES, I'D LIKE MY HEART BACK PLEASE BECAUSE YOU JUST WRECKED IT WITH YOUR CHILDHOOD FRIENDS AU. Kiri is so pretty in it, like oh wow, and Bakugou's brilliant and I LOVE IT. (Also 'manly shit' and 'Katsu,' just slay me now so this happiness never fades).

Ahhhhhh I’m happy you liked it!!!!!!!! And yah Kiri calling Bakugou Katsu is a weakness of mine, did you know that? Maybe you noticed since I always have him do that haha it’s cause it’s written with the kanji for victory! Isn’t that a manly nickname? I like to think Kiri would like it for that haha

Anon said: I love how often (from reading the tags on your art) it's like "oops my hand slipped and now you get some krbk instead of something else" lol

It does happen incredibly often! By now they’re so comfortable to draw for me that I end up drawing them without even realizing haha that’s what happens when you spend a year and a half drawing always the same two kids lol

Anon said:Ah Fran I love your glasses Bakugou so much! Ever since Kami added those shades to his hero costume it has me convinced he'd be so ridiculously cute in glasses too! I hope you enjoy that adorable mental image :)

You mean Kami? He sure would! Kiri would too! Sero also!!! MINA TOO!!!!! Actually we have canon Mina with glasses I think

yup, what a beauty haha

Anon said:Your kiribaku childhood AU killed me! I just wanted to ask: in your opinion if Kiri&Baku met in middle school do you think they’d be friends? Baku has a habit of rejecting anyone who’s “weaker” than him &seeing how kiri was do you think they’d be friends? Or Baku not noticing kiri until he’s his equal?Or maybe having a crush on the cute black haired kid but never doing anything about it? Baku Rejecting kiri if he tried to confess to him?Sorry this is long but I just love your perception of them!

Whether they’d like each other/get along would depends on at which point and in which way they’d meet, I guess! Middle school was a complicated period for both of them, so it really depends - a few examples of how it could go are

they meet cause they frequent the same middle school - that implies they meet during the first year, when Bakugou was still full on bully/cocky asshole. Kirishima probably wouldn’t like him much because of it, would try to fight him. Bakugou might find him annoying/get pissed at how he thinks himself good enough to fight him. Definitely wouldn’t get along at first, might change their minds as they get to know each other or just keep on having a shitty relationship forever. I find more beliavable the first, since they do have really compatible personalities, but Bakugou was really convinced of his position as above everyone else back then and Kirishima would have never let him act like he was better than him without putting up a fight, so maybe not. Might actually fuck up their relationship in highschool too, really

they frequent different middle school, but happen to see each other outside of school before the sludge incident - if they were to meet cause Kirishima got in the middle of Bakugou bullying Deku, not much would change from option one. But if they were to meet for unrelated reasons, they could get along - Kirishima might think Bakugou manly, Bakugou might appreciate Kirishima’s guts (as long as Kiri doesn’t try to fight him). At first the relationship would definitely be unbalanced, because Kirishima would have no way of proving to Bakugou he’s at his same level since he wouldn’t be, but with time this might change. I can see Kirishima throwing himself at random bullies and Bakugou sighing and sometimes waiting for Kirishima to get his ass beat so maybe he’ll learn while other times lazily strolling up till he’s standing next to Kirishima to scare the bullies away. Bakugou’s... Bakugouness might do something to Kirishima’s self-esteem and could have him have his breakdown sooner, but by that point Bakugou might like him enough to do something about it. Or not. He’s still a cocky and self-centered ass at this point, after all. Kirishima’s presence might help with his bullying habit. Or not. Again, still an egoistical and egocentrical fucker at that point. Worse comes to worst, their relationship starts becoming more equal after the sludge incident/kiri seeing gigantomachia

they frequent different middle schools, but meet outside of school after the sludge incident but before kiri sees gigantomachia - this is probably my favorite one as far as them meeting in middle school goes. Bakugou at this point is questioning if he’s actually as strong as he always assumed he was, starting to feel like he needs to prove his worth to the world and himself, while Kirishima is still convinced he’s plain and weak, too scared to actually voice his dreams, but still tries to do his best and help those in need in front of him. If they were to meet at this point, Bakugou might actually find something to admire in Kirishima, find strength in him even - with the down-to-earth optimism and practical positivity, aware of reality but working to fix what he can, not letting circumstances and defeats bring him down. It might help Bakugou put into perspective the sludge incident, instead of just dwelling on it till it became a bomb ready to explode. Kiri would find Bakugou manly and cool, just like in canon, and they’d be able to build a relationship on equal grounds - Kirishima might even open up to him about how he wishes to try for UA, but he’s nearly sure he’s gonna fail. Bakugou might tell him that as he is right now he’s gonna fail for sure. He might also tell him that a quirk is like a muscle, and muscles get stronger if you train them, so just fucking stop wasting time and train yourself till your quirk is worth something, for fuck sake. By the time the event of Kiri’s backstory roll around, Bakugou might actually be there to hold Kirishima up and not let him go through it by himself. I dunno about crushes, but I do love this scenario and the relationship they’d end up having because of it

they frequent different schools, meet after Kirishima’s meeting with gigantomachia - there wouldn’t be many differences compared to the canon version of their meeting, I think. Bakugou might be a little more subdued, maybe, but generally it’d be the same.

these are just real general cathegories, depending on how the meeting unfolds anything might happen so really, who knows - there’s too many possibilities to be sure of anything, really haha

Anon said:fran ur art its so cute ty for posting it!!! also i just wanna say i think your art has improved so much since i started to follow you!! the first drawings of yours i saw were your old aokaga and i think really youve improved a lot!! (not that you were bad at first but your style has evolved?? idk a good word for it but its not meant as a Bad thing)

Lmao no anon, don’t worry, I was really, really bad back then. It was like, super terrible. I’m glad you think I’ve improved though!!!! This sort of asks mean a whole damn lot to me, make it worth keeping on drawing haha thank you!!

Anon said:i gotta admit, after checking out sero's quirk i can only think: pranks. esp with the double-sided tape trick

Have you ever seen this comic holy fuck hahaha

Anon said:i read that fic by newamsterdam a while back and can't stop thinking about it!!!!

Best fic I’m following at the moment honestly!!!

Anon said:Hi I love your art! It's absolutely amazing and your comics are SO cute!! I hope you have a wonderful day!~

Anon said:your kirbaku/bakushima is just so nice and lovely??? and your art style is great adorable??? gdfljwblk thenks for mi life

You’re SO SWEET!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *holds*

Anon said:The line work in your drawings lately is looking even smoother and more refined than before! :)

.....................I actually feel like I’m getting super effin sloppy so??? I guess hearing this feels good???? Like oh I’m not actually as much of a mess as I thought haha thank you for the compliment!!!! :D

Anon said:Do you think Bakugou would ever say babe or other sweet nicknames?

Yah I think so. Like, not all nicknames, like “honey” probably never or “sweetheart” highly umprobable, but babe or gorgeous/handsome/beautiful or love, I can see him using those! Mostly cause Mitsuki’s personality was obviously based on Bakugou and she calls Masaru “dear”, so I think Bakugou does have the... predisposition for it, let’s say it like that haha he might more whisper them/keep them private, but I do think he’d use them~

Anon said:You're so good at emitting moods/vibes through your art?? Like, every single time you just... Idk what kind of magic you... I love you??? You turn me to putty Fran.

sob this is such a nice ask oh my god, thank you so much!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anon said:Everytime I see your art on my dash it makes me smile, there's something inherently cheerful about your art style. Love it

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! That’s the best think I could have ever been told about my style, I’m super glad you see it like this!!!!

Anon said:omg you don't understand how much i love your art !!! i mean i check you blog everyday to see if you posted something and when you do i'm always so happy, it put me in a good mood everytime i don't know how you do it but i love it !!!! also the way you draw smiles is so cute :D

THANK YOU LOTS OH MY GOD!!!!!! AHHH!!!! making people smile is the best thing ever!!! I’m!!!!!!!!!! happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D now I’m smiling hahaha

Anon said:how does... is... clothing folds?!?!

B o y anon I’m terribly sorry but........... the horrible secret is that I don’t know what the hell I’m doing when I draw clothes’ folds. Like, at all. All I keep in mind while going at it is that gravity is a thing and clothes are affected by it too, and that’s about it ;;; I’m incredibly sorry, but I’m pretty sure someone that actually knows what they’re doing would look at my stuff and see a lot of mistakes, so maybe it’s best if I don’t give tips about this to anyone, least I spread more misinformation than anything else orz I’m sure there’s good tutorials for it around, tho!!

Anon said:Will we ever see more comics of the poly au with bokuto, kuroo and terushima? I binged those comics and LOVED it

Probably not, sorry orz posting for hq lately is... making me sad, in the long run, so hq comics might not come around for a long time, from me. Too much time I should spend on them. Dunno about simple art tho, it’s a maybe for that! And thank you for liking the series!!!!

Anon said:As soon as I saw u added the kekkai sensen art sticker to redbubble I bought it omg bless 💕

THANK YOU SO MUCH HOLY HECK!!!!

Anon said:any chance we could expect more of kirishima's shy senpai? absolutely no pressure! i'm honestly just curious since you seemed fond of him a while back. :)

And I still am! I’ll for sure draw more of him soon enough, don’t worry!

Anon said:I'm sooo sad :'( I wanted to buy a mobile case from you but it's just for iPhone.... I love you art so much *-*

There’s for both iPhones and Samsung, actually! But if you have another brand then it’s no good ;;; sorry ;;;;;;;;;;;;
