Your ships opinions are at the same time so funny and so interesting I'm like rolling on the floor howling in laughter and nodding my head in appreciation at the same time xD

I'm wondering now, since you posted ur opinions of snegulus based on Scylla and Charybdis (great fic btw! It's been a while since I got that invested in a fanfiction!), what are your opinions on: James/Severus, James/Lily and Tobias/Eileen?

Also, for the sake of crack, what do you think of Severus/Peter, Marvolo/Albefort and Umbridge/Fudge/Scrimgeour?

thank you very much, anon, both for the very kind shoutout to scylla and charybdis and for the selection of ships.

james potter/severus snape

snames isn’t really a pairing i vibe with, because - in my view - they don’t have any particularly interesting points of narrative convergence or divergence. snack - snape and sirius - is a hot ship because they’re narrative mirrors: they have identical experiences of and attitudes towards grief, duty, atonement and so on, caused by the fact that they are both indirectly responsible for killing the person they love the most; they both have complicated relationships with their families; they are both outsiders among their peer groups; their differences are polar opposites - sirius is rich, snape is poor, sirius is an outsider within gryffindor, snape is an outsider within slytherin, sirius is attractive, snape is ugly; and so on.

but snames doesn’t have that spark. their differences don’t exist on a scale, like snape’s do with sirius, they just exist as separate categories of experience. james is beloved by his family, snape is not. james is an inherent insider, whose whole family have been in gryffindor, snape is an inherent outsider. james is rich, but his wealth doesn’t come with strings attached, whereas sirius’ is obviously only something he’s permitted to access if he conforms to his parents’ restrictive social views and snape has none at all. james is a physical everyman - neither as ugly as snape nor as good-looking as sirius - and, therefore, someone who has no idea how it feels to stand out because of your looks (or name, or choices).

that said, james’ obvious sexual jealousy of snape could definitely be because he wants to bang him. i think we can all see him trying to get to lily by befriending her bestie, only to end up in love. good for him.

lily evans/james potter

i don’t really care about jily, beyond saying that james deserves our respect for bagging a baddie.

i don’t subscribe to the common anti-jily position that if they’d lived they wouldn’t have stayed together - nor that they weren’t sincerely compatible - i’m just not particularly interested in them because i think that there are far more engaging first-war characters, and that fics in which both of them live always kind of flop. harry is just much less interesting if he’s just from a happy home.

what i do like about jily is thinking about the other marauders’ reactions to it. the fact that sirius and lupin never mention lily is - of course - a narrative necessity, since the harry potter series needs to keep the fact of her centrality to the mystery hidden until the very last minute, but i am committed to ignoring that and being sincerely convinced that neither of them liked her. in sirius’ case, because she took the man he obviously loves from him. in lupin’s, idk, who cares about him.

eileen prince/tobias snape

my view on this is informed by the fact that i simply do not accept the fanon that eileen is from an elite pureblood family - she can’t be! her marriage to a muggle man is announced in the daily prophet! what purebloods are doing that?

the only person who ever suggests she might be is harry, who does so on the basis of no evidence, in order to force a comparison between snape and voldemort as a way of soothing his furious grief over dumbledore’s death. but one of the central jokes in voldemort’s background is that he is - by far - the most aristocratic character in the entire series, in both the magical and muggle worlds, but he is denied access to the social cachet this brings in the muggle world because he’s raised in an orphanage and never acknowledged by tom riddle sr. and in the wizarding world because he has a muggle name which means he’s denied access to the lineage-based hierarchy of wizarding society, even though he’s descended from slytherin. it doesn’t make sense, then, for snape to be in the same position - the uniqueness of voldemort’s parentage is the point.

i think of eileen, then, as a half-blood. i also think of her, regardless of her blood-status, as being from a working-class background herself, rather than raised in ancestral majesty. [after all, we have andromeda for that.]

i also think of her and tobias as childhood friends - from the same class background and the same area - with magic the only difference between them. i love this as a trope, because the canonical series does far too little interrogation of the fact that - for all dumbledore and the order’s grandstanding over the inherent goodness of the muggle world - all but one of the mixed muggle-magical relationships we see in canon fail*, all muggleborn children extract themselves totally from the world of their birth, and the two worlds are as completely segregated by the good guys as they are by the death eaters. eileen discovering that magic - which looked so unlikely to cause an issue when she fell in love with toby aged ten - causes the man she adores to despise her, the son she loves to resent her, and the poverty in which she lives to continue unabated is something i think is really valuable to explore.

plus, the idea that eileen - in her son’s eyes - threw away her prestigious magical education to return to a cotton-town slum and marry a poor man provides the perfect explanation for why severus snape makes the choices he makes in his adult life.

[*we hear of four muggle-magical relationships in canon - jkr has added several more in her post-series writing, undoubtedly because she realised how this looks: tom riddle sr. and merope gaunt, tobias and eileen, dean’s parents, and seamus’ parents. we all know what happened to tom and merope, tobias and eileen are canonically a violent, unhappy marriage, dean’s dad leaves his mum when he’s a baby, and seamus’ parents may or may not still be together.]

peter pettigrew/severus snape

so, can we all agree that making snape and wormtail live together for a summer is a god-tier petty move from lord voldemort? imagining him rocking up at spinner’s end with wormtail in tow and saying ‘he’s doing my head in, so he’s your problem now’ sends me every time.

i think they fuck once or twice - what else is there to do in cokeworth? - but neither of them enjoy it.

aberforth dumbledore/marvolo gaunt

i’m sorry, but i can’t stand the disrespect being shown by this question towards one of my favourite canon couples… aberforth/goat.

cornelius fudge/rufus scrimgeour/dolores umbridge

hot!

after all, scrimgeour is gassing her up to harry when he visits him in half-blood prince, and you only do that if the sex is good.

my theory, though? fudge isn’t on board with it - his vibe in canon is that he appreciates umbridge’s bureaucratic loyalty to him but he’d love to stop getting raunchy letters from her, and when rufus suggested that they add a third to their bedroom activities it never occurred to him that she’d be in contention. he wishes he’d known. he’d have vetoed.

Hey, I have a few questions about the relationships between the characters, as I promised at the last writer ask game...

1. 🔥Have you included any sexy scenes in your fics? If yes, do you find them easy or difficult to write?

2. I know that Prince Huoju and Phantom were very close to each other. But what exactly are their relationship? Is it a one-sided adoration and idolizing by Phantom? Or are those two actually in love with each other? If it is, how close were they? just having feelings towards each others or close enough to... mate?

3. Lao and Hong were described as a couple in your story. But since Lao is married with Lady Huiliang. So,what happened between them? If they broke up, how did they?(did one of them tell the other, or did they silently ended it without a word?)

And the most important question...

4. What is the relationship between Po and Tigress in your story? Are they just friends like the canon? I know that Po wrote love letters to Tigress, then is it a one-sided crush by Po? Or are they in love with each other? If it is, how close are they? just having feelings towards each others or close enough to... mate?

Okay! I'll answer some questions!

1. 🔥Have you included any sexy scenes in your fics? If yes, do you find them easy or difficult to write?

Nope! My books are safe for the general audience. So. . . That's a quick pass.

My baddies are (platonic) mates. What started their relationship, Huoju found her (a cub) in a cave, where a group of Huns from Mongolia were attempting to kill Mingling. While I am terrible at romance (I am only good at writing friendship), Mingling has her idol to loving her only Huoju (her hero). Despite the beliefs in fighting for what Mingling could imagine, aside the revenge and hatred with her whole life, slaughtering people without mercy, she has been with the Prince of Darkness for centuries (when a mystery caused her age to be immortality, being a shaman).

Of course. . . I nearly forgot about that one.

Hong had her insanity idea to marry one who actually cares. Both of my characters are friends. I think Hong would have wanted Lao to find a lady who is more lovely and spiritual than crazy. Besides, I believe their platonic relationship is ironic, but Hong and Lao are good companions.

They'll likely speak with each other again after his marriage.

Their relationship, my fellow reader(s), is friendship. If I remember well from my first book (planning to rewrite and edit A New Prophecy), Po used to write a letter to one of his closest companions that he truly meant to him. Tigress became caring with the panda after Po defeated Tai Lung, thought she was wrong about him, despite jealousy impacted her. She was almost going to be chosen as the Dragon Warrior, but instead, she's proven to be an honorable fighter than reflecting the scroll to greedy (Tai Lung).

(To be open-minded, you have to understand that when you have proven yourself worthy, with all the hard work you have achieved many years, you look at the Dragon Scroll and see yourself. No riddles, no secrets of Kung Fu, no secret ingredient, just you.)

Ever since Shen happened, at the factory, Tigress saw Po get shot from the cannon and blast away (and survived). Even that she has those who are encouraging, unlike her skills that the Five are capable of (Thanks to Po, who replaced the scroll with a list of four ideas than Shifu's red panda warriors. Secrets of the Scroll), she nearly lost Po, who cares Tigress.

With their friendship, I say both Tigress and Po are close friends.

That's all the answer I can get! Thanks, Righteous!

So I wrote this based off of the Creepypasta No end house. It's not gory so don't worry about that plus it has a happier ending. 😊

Credits for the pic: The stage is Mystic Mansion and was ported by SAB64 on DA.

Effects used: Ray MMD x.

Enjoy my baddies 🦇 💜

A Halloween party.

A horror fic by me.

Part 1: The mysterious invitation.

It was a crisp autumn evening, there was a big Halloween party being hosted at Mystic Mansion by a mysterious person who rented it. No one knows who this person is, nor how they managed to rent it but at least it was free to enter. There was only one requirement. Wear a costume.

A crowd of mobians were waiting to enter as everyone was wearing a costume.

“This will be so much fun.”

Cream said to Cheese. Her costume was a princess outfit, her chao Cheese had a small hat and bowtie on.

“Chao.”

“Geez this person did a lot for hosting this party.”

Sonic said to himself as he looked up at the mansion. His costume was a cape and some different shoes.

“Yeah but at least it's no cost to get in.”

Rouge said to him, her costume was a witch’s outfit.

“Well technically you have to wear a costume, so that's a cost.”

Sonic snickered a little.

“Anyways, where's Amy? She was supposed to meet up here.”

Rouge shrugged.

“How should I know? She's probably still getting ready.”

A pair of hands covered Sonic eyes.

“Guess who?”

Sonic jumped a little.

“Amy? Seriously you know that kinda scares me.”

Amy giggled.

“Sorry Sonic, it is Halloween after all.”

Amy's costume was a little red riding hood type of costume.

“Heh yeah I suppose I'll let that slide tonight, but where were you? You're late.”

Sonic replied.

“Sorry I got lost a little, but I managed to find my way. This place is hard to spot in the dark.”

Amy said with a sigh.

“I see, well try to stay on the path next time. You don't want to be seen by any wolves.”

He snickers a little as Amy punches his arm playfully.

“Attention everyone.”

A voice spoke through a megaphone.

“The Halloween party is starting now. Please enter and have a good time. Also there will be a contest for later tonight. If you'd like to sign up please see the staff of this event at a booth near the entrance.”

The figure opens the doors as everyone enters.

Part 2: Let's party.

The main room was filled with decorations and several tables filled with treats, drinks, a DJ stand, and that contest booth.

“Wow this person sure put a lot of stuff in here. Let's party.”

Amy said as she grabbed Sonic's hand and led him to the dance floor. Everyone was excited, some people were eating the sweets and drinking punch, and overall having a good time.

Vector, Espio, and Charmy walked over to the contest booth.

“Hey so what's this contest?”

Vector asked the figure at the booth.

“It's a haunted house contest, whoever can survive all 9 floors of this mansion our boss designed you'll get 500 rings as a prize.”

Vector looked excited.

“I'll do it.”

“Then sign this contract, it's to make sure you promise not to chicken out.”

Espio looked concerned.

“Hold on a minute, that's absurd. Why do we need to sign a contract?”

“It's for your safety. If you chicken out we won't be responsible if you're hurt or worse.”

“Ah come on Espio this is just a haunted house thing.”

Vector signed them up, including Charmy.

“Excellent, the contest starts at 1 AM. Be at the main entrance at the top of the stairs exactly at that time. If you don't, you can't participate.”

The figure said with a firm tone.

“Sounds good.”

Vector and Espio left, somehow Espio felt a little shiver down his spine.

“Vector, this sounds really dangerous. Are you sure you want to go through with this?”

��Espio you worry too much, it's a friendly haunted house attraction. All of the stuff that was here during our adventures are long gone by now.”

After a while more people signed up for this contest, not knowing what awaited them.

The people who also signed up were Sonic, Amy, Tails, and Knuckles.

Part 3: A little help will do.

“Hey Sonic I'll be back, gotta go.”

Amy said as Sonic nodded. She went to the bathrooms, it was far away from the main area, but she managed to find them.

“It sure is quiet here..”

Amy said to herself as she went to the bathroom. As she's finishing up washing her hands the lights suddenly flickered then shut off.

“Huh? The mansion’s electricity probably doesn't work well up here.”

She takes out a flashlight in case of a situation like this and sees a shadowy figure hiding in the corner of the dark room.

“Hey, are you ok? You look scared.”

Amy approaches the figure, she knew this would probably be risky, but the rules said no weapons allowed so her piko piko hammer was put on a shelf in her house as well as her fortune cards.

“Hello Amy, it's unfortunate you came in here as I was expecting someone more capable, but you'll do just fine.”

The figure jumps up and stands in front of her.

“Huh?”

Amy was scared as she turned around with the flashlight pointed in front of her. The figure was a vampire bat.

“Dr. Spiral!”

Amy knew she'd probably pull a trick on her.

“Happy Halloween Amy, you'll be perfect for helping me with this contest I'm holding.”

Dr. Spiral holds Amy close as her eyes glow hypnotically.

Amy tried to resist but as the light glowing from Dr. Spiral's eyes grabbed her attention, she couldn't resist any longer. Amy's eyes reflect the hypnotic red glow as she drops her flashlight.

“Good girl, now heed my instructions. You'll help me with this contest I'm holding. Your job is to make sure only one person wins, the others will be severely disturbed.”

Amy smirked.

“Yes mistress, I hear and I obey. Who should I let win this contest, my mistress?”

Dr. Spiral let's Amy out of her grasp.

“Pick anyone you want, I don't care who wins. Just do as you're told.”

Dr. Spiral said firmly as she walks through the wall leading to a secret security room.

Amy gets her flashlight and heads back to the party. Acting normally to not raise suspension.

Part 4: Let the contest begin.

Dr. Spiral and Dr. Eggman was in a room with tons of security cameras watching the 9 rooms, each crafted for different fears and paranormal stuff.

“Ripper, are you guys ready yet? It's almost 1 AM and I need this to be perfect. It's not called the endless rooms for nothing.”

“Yes my queen we just finished. And that last room has that creature you requested ready.”

Ripper answered through a walkie talkie.

“Good, now get out of there and don't mess anything up.”

Dr. Spiral replied as she hangs up.

“This is absolutely outstanding dear, you're really going all out this year.”

Dr. Eggman was impressed with all this as he couldn't believe this could happen.

“Thank you Eggy, I always wanted to do this. After all, what's Halloween without a good scare?”

She laughs a bit as she sets up the stuff and they watch.

“Ok everyone, the party is over. Anyone who has signed up for the contest may stay. As for everyone else, please leave and follow the path you came from.”

Ripper said as it led the contestants to a door upstairs.

“Alright the rules are simple, make it through the 9 different rooms. Whoever makes it through all 9 rooms without giving up wins. Now enter with caution as this will be a truly haunting experience.”

Room 1:

All the contestants enter the first room. It was just like your typical Halloween store aisle.

“Ha this will be easy.”

Vector laughed at this cliché of a room as everyone entered room number two.

Room 2:

“Amy, this is your mistress speaking. Once you've chosen who will win, do what you were told.”

Dr. Spiral spoke telepathically to Amy.

Amy's eyes glow as she nods. She steps away from the group as the 2nd room is pitch dark.

“Hey what gives?”

Charmy asked.

“I can't see anything.”

Knuckles said.

A loud growl could be heard as it seems to be roaming around them.

“Everyone be quiet. We aren't alone..”

Espio said.

“We need to get to the third room, and fast!”

Sonic said.

“Wait, you don't know what this thing is capable of.”

Espio cautioned him.

“I agree with Sonic, we need to run. Otherwise we're just sitting ducks.”

Amy said.

“Come on then let's go!”

Vector yelled as they all ran for it. Trying their best to get to the other door.

Espio sighed as he couldn't argue and ran with them. It seemed impossible to find that door as they couldn't see a thing.

This creature could be heard running towards them as it grabs Charmy by the legs and drags him.

“N-NO! GUYS HELP ME!”

Charmy cried for help as he was dragged into the darkness.

“CHARMY!”

Espio had enough, he wasn't going to let Charmy be eaten or god knows what by that thing.

“Espio no, that thing is already gone and we can't see worth jack in here. Charmy can fight it off I'm sure.”

Vector told Espio in a worrying tone. He was angry too but they had to keep going. This wasn't for the money anymore, that wasn't a concern. They needed to keep going for their own life's.

“... FINE!”

Espio growled as they continued to stumble around. After a bit they found a door, but the area had gone silent. Charmy wasn't screaming anymore.

“Charmy…”

Vector teared up a little as they entered room number 3.

Room 3:

This room was different then the second room, instead of pitch dark it actually was lit up with torches so there was a bit of light.

“Great another dark room.”

Tails sighed.

“At least we have lights.”

Sonic replied.

“I'm thinking this isn't a normal haunted attraction Sonic. This seems like a trap to get us one by one.”

Tails grabbed a torch.

“I think you're right, Tails, this isn't a fun event anymore.”

Knuckles replied.

“Once we get out of here we’re going to find who is behind this.”

“Let's go, there's a long way ahead to the next door.”

Sonic replies as he grabs a torch as they head down the cave looking room.

Amy smirks as she leaves the group quietly and proceeds to activate the next trap.

As the group walks down the hallway a loud echo sound begins to play through the room.

“ARGH!”

Everyone covered their ears and got on the ground as it was so loud it could make someone go deaf.

“What is that sound?!”

Sonic yelled as he could hardly think.

“I don't know but it hurts my head.”

Tails replied.

Amy had sound proof ear buds on as she walked up to Sonic.

“It sure sucks doesn't it? To think you ended up here because of everyone in this room. They all want to win, but who will? You want to win the most. So who cares if you play fair. Teamwork won't work, it's every man for himself.”

She smirks as her words were a hypnotic suggestion. She eventually says this to each person as that loud echo was enhancing the hypnotic suggestion. Eventually the loud echo stops as everyone sighs, thankful it's over.

“Ugh, that was absolutely terrible. Come on guys, let's go.”

Tails said as they all got up.

“Hey didn't we go that way?”

Vector asked.

“No we were going.. Um.. That way?”

Tails wasn't sure as the echos still were ringing in his ears.

“Listen it doesn't matter, we gotta move forward.”

Knuckles said.

“Oh I see, you just want to win that money.”

Vector said.

“Huh? Vector we are trying to survive who cares about that money.”

Tails asked, trying to calm him down.

“I certainly do! I-I mean Team Chaotix needs that money for rent.”

“Yeah, since you are always spending it.”

Espio replied.

“Fine then have it your way. We'll all go our own way.”

Sonic said, giving into the hypnotic suggestion.

“Fine!”

Everyone split up looking for the 4th door.

Meanwhile in the security room Charmy was in a cage tied up.

“You big bullies!”

Charmy said as he sat there.

“Hey you got caught, not my fault.”

Dr. Eggman said as he was eating some candy.

“Sorry to scare you like that Charmy, but it is a contest and you're the first to lose. Don't worry, once someone wins you'll be let go.”

Dr. Spiral said in a friendly tone as she smirks.

“What was that beast that got me?”

Charmy asked.

“It was one of my hellhounds. Spoiled dog wouldn't eat anyone, he'd rather lick you than eat you. So he was perfect for that room.”

Charmy looked at the dog next to him as the three eyed hellhound was asleep.

“He's kinda cute in a terrifying way..”

Charmy said.

Dr. Spiral walked up to the monitors.

“This is perfect, Amy has split the group apart. Now for the next trap.”

Dr. Spiral pushes a button and watches.

“Ugh this is stupid, Tails, how many rooms do we need to go through?”

Sonic asked, annoyed.

“Nine rooms, we're in the third room. We got six more to go.”

Tails replied.

“Good, we gotta beat everyone else.”

His logic wasn't sane, in his mind he wanted to win, fair game wasn't an option to him.

“Sonic, I don't think this is a contest anymore.. We gotta stick together.”

Tails’s mind wasn't taken over but the echoing still rang.

“Teamwork is not going to work Tails, how can I trust anyone, let alone you? I'm going fast, that way I'll find the door before anyone else.”

“Sonic, wait!”

Tails tried to reason with him but he ran off without a second thought.

“What has gotten into these guys?”

Tails went alone as he searched too. He eventually found the door but only Sonic and Espio were behind them.

“Hey where's everyone else?”

“Tails, Vector and Knuckles they were..”

“What, what happened to them?”

Sonic asked.

“Killed.. Something crushed them with rocks.”

“Are you serious?!”

Tails yelled.

“No…this can't be.”

“Well they said they wanted to leave and that seemed to anger whatever crushed them.”

Espio replied.

“Hey didn't that guy say whoever left was out of this competition?”

Tails asked.

“Yeah..That's why they made us sign a contract. They knew this would happen!”

Sonic replied.

“Wait, where's Amy?”

Tails just noticed she wasn't with them.

“They probably got her too..”

Espio said.

“Come on, let's go! Let's finish this and find her.”

Room 4:

This room was lit up with a grassy field, but had a ton of bugs everywhere.

“Ew, gross!”

Tails gagged.

“It's just a bunch of tiny bugs guys, this will be easy.”

Espio said. As they walked through the grass the bugs would crawl on them, at first it was just a bunch of nats, but then it went from small bugs, to bigger bugs.

“Sweet Gia above this is awful!”

Tails said, panicking and itching his fur.

“Tails it's ok, it's just bu- Oh my..”

Sonic was cut off as he looked above them.

Tails and Espio looked behind them, there was a giant spider watching them.

“That thing is huge! Wait, it's just staring at us.. Can't it see?”

Espio looked closely.

“Nope but it can hear us, see? Its head is turning.”

The Spider definitely could hear and not see, but it was curious to know what they would do next.

“Guys, let's quietly walk to the other door.”

Sonic said in a whisper, they nod as they walk quietly to the door that leads to room number five.

Back in the security room Knuckles and Vector were not dead, but alive. They were also stuck in separate cages.

“That was not cool Dr. Spiral! You made me think my life was over!”

Knuckles growled.

“Yeah what was up with that?”

Vector asked.

“It's all in good fun guys, this is just my Halloween trick for all of you. Remember where we agreed to see who had the best trick? If I recall, your toilet paper wasn't all that impressive.”

Vector thought about it and laughed a bit.

“Ok that's kinda a cool Halloween trick not going to lie.”

“Vector!”

Charmy butted in

“Oh come on you know it is.”

Vector replied.

“I was dragged by a hellhound!”

“But you're alive aren't you?”

Vector asked.

“Yeah true, and I think that was fear taking over not pain. Yeah ok I understand why this was a good Halloween trick.”

“And it's time for a nap.”

Dr. Spiral said as she snapped her fingers as her hypno orb flashed sending them into a hypnotic sleep.

“Ugh thank you dear, they were getting annoying.”

Dr. Eggman said as he rubbed his forehead.

“No problem, they were getting annoying. Hm, I wonder who Amy picked to be the winner.”

Ripper knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

Dr. Spiral said as Ripper came in with a cage on wheels.

“I brought Amy my queen, she has fulfilled her job.”

Amy was asleep in a cage with wheels.

“Splendid, put her over there.”

Ripper nodded and did so.

“Soon there were only three. This will be fun to watch.”

Room 5:

This room was empty, it's a big white room.

“Ok this is getting weirder and weirder.”

Sonic looked around him, everywhere was just white walls.

“Look, there's the door!”

Tails said.

Espio glared.

“This seems too easy. There's gotta be something hidden.”

Sonic walks towards the door but steps on a hidden button as it triggers the walls around them to turn into swirling spirals.

“No! Everyone close your eyes.”

Espio yelled as Tails and him did so, but Sonic wasn't fast enough to close them. He stands there looking at the walls, the spirals

reflecting in his eyes as his mouth hangs open.

Tails remembers where the door was as he leads Espio towards the door while keeping their eyes closed.

“Sonic, where are you? Come on, follow us.”

“No..I want to stay.”

Sonic kneels down as he looks at the spirals, his mind completely blank.

“Come on Tails, we gotta go. He's done for.”

He grabs his arm and they exit the room and go to room 6.

The white room turns dark as Dr. Spiral goes up behind him.

“Sleep hedgehog.”

She snaps her fingers as Sonic falls to the ground and sleeps deeply. Dr. Spiral drags him to the security room laughing evilly.

Room 6:

There were only two now, Espio and Tails.

“I can't take this anymore!”

Tails yelled as he punched a wall next to him tearing up a little.

“Tails we have to continue, there's only three more rooms left. Sonic, and everyone else wouldn't want us to give up.”

Espio patted his back in an attempt to cheer him up.

“You're right Espio, let's keep going.”

They look around, this room seems to be the same room as the first but with fog and real bats hanging on the ceiling as well as some icicles that look like they're going to fall any minute.

“Let's go, be careful where you step though Tails. Those icicles look unstable.”

Tails nods as they quietly walk to the door on the other side.

As Espio said the icicles were unstable and one by one began to fall to the ground.

Tails wanted to jump but remembered the bats above them and stayed quiet.

They successfully make it to the door and leave.

“Oh come on what was that Rose? Here I give you a chance to jump those two and all you do is sleep with the other bats?”

Dr. Spiral yelled at the monitor via a microphone.

Rose wakes up and realizes she messed up.

“Oops sorry my queen, I was tired.”

“No treats for you tonight Rose. That's your punishment.”

Rose sighs.

“Yes my queen.”

Room 7:

“Alright what's next?”

Tails said as he and Espio were ready for anything now. After all that stuff they saw, they're not going to surrender.

The room was nothing but darkness and two doors. There was a sign in the middle.

“What's this sign say?”

To those who have made it this far, you each must choose a door.

That's what the sign had written on it.

“Hmm.. Given how these rooms work I have a feeling both of these doors won't be pleasant.”

Espio said, looking at the doors.

“I guess we can't go in one together.”

Tails looked at Espio worried.

“Don't worry Tails, whatever we choose I'm sure one of us will make it out. This whole thing seems to be picking us off one by one.”

“Oh boy, that makes me less stressed.”

Tails said sarcastically.

“Then should we choose?”

Espio asked.

“Yes, let's get out of this forsaken place.”

Tails replied. Tails took the left door, and Espio chose the right.

Room 8:

“What the?”

Espio asked as there was nothing, just walls that had horrible decorated wallpaper that looked like it had mold, with dim lights over the ceilings and a sign that said: “you're a loser.”

“Great, now I'm stuck in some sort of abandoned office and I lost this competition.”

A shadowy figure comes behind Espio and hits him over the head with a shovel knocking him out, he drags him back to the security room.

Room 9:

This room was pitch dark again but with a chair.

“I guess I better sit down.”

Tails didn't argue at this point, he knew it wouldn't get him anywhere. As he sat down there was a voice coming from the distance.

“Well congrats fox boy, you made it to the final room. Before you can claim your prize here are the rules for this room. You must sit there for exactly two minutes. It'll be unpleasant but you must not get up. If you do before your two minutes are up you'll have to escape whatever is in that room instead of getting out safe. Let the final trial begin.”

A timer ticked down as the chair Tails sat on felt like he was sitting on broken glass and lava. It hurt like the voice said but he had to endure it.

“I'm brave, Sonic will be proud of how far I've come.. Sonic I will win this! For everyone.”

After a long two minutes the timer went off and Tails got up, noticing no bruises or anything. Was it just a mind trick?

He sighed and exited the room.

Part 5: And the winner is.

“Did you have fun Tails?”

“What the?! Dr. Spiral, Dr. Eggman? And everyone is alive?”

Tails was confused, he noticed he was in a security room with monitors.

“Yes, this was all a Halloween trick. You guys made a deal with me on who can pull the best Halloween trick ever. And I'd say I won.”

Tails looked at her and his friends that were out of the cages they were put in and sighed.

“Yeah I guess so, but I thought you'd do something simple, not go all out like this.”

Dr. Spiral smiled.

“Hey, cheer up kid, after all you did win. So here's 500 rings as promised. Go buy some candy or something.”

She gave Tails his prize money.

“That all felt real, but I must admit you did do better than us. Come on guys, let's go.”

Sonic said, admitting defeat.

They all leave to go back home as Dr. Spiral and Dr. Eggman cleaned up their stuff and headed back to their castle.

Die and Reset

Summary: “If you can really go back, then find me and say your name. I swear I’ll save you.”

Shinpei could feel death crawling upon his body and robbing him of his breath slowly. But he never felt more hopeful and lighter as a feather upon hearing those words that he needed to hear in this situation.

Characters: Shinpei Ajiro & Hizuru Minamikata | Nagumo Ryuunosuke

(A/N: I don’t anything from this franchise only this meager fic of mine in this site. I just watched Summer Time Rendering and quickly fell in love with its premise and setting. I love the suspense and supernatural vibe in it. Also, Shinpei looks like Eren from AOT season 4 with heterochromatic eyes. What is it with me and my fascination towards time travelling books and shows? This anime sort of reminds me of Happy Death Day with more gore and supernatural horror. So, I tried searching for some fics and was somewhat disappointed that there’s none so I will have to do it myself. Moreover, I’m just really fascinated with Shinpei and Hizuru/Nagumo’s dynamic and it kinda reminds me of partnership between Takemichi and Chifuyu in Tokyo Revengers where they teamed up in defeating the baddies together. Hence, the main inspiration for this one shot. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did when I wrote it).

Shinpei swallowed thickly as he watched the events unfold in front of him with perfectly feigned ignorance and innocence.

But his insides were squirming out uncomfortably upon seeing Mio and Sou looking fine, breathing, and alive when he just witnessed on how they were slaughtered like helpless pigs in a pen by the Shadows.

‘Don’t lose control now Shinpei. Keep it together. You need it the most when Shiori was now overtaken by a Shadow together with her parents.’ Shinpei chastised himself inwardly and struggled not to throw up at the mere thought that there were practically 3 Shadows now looming inside the funeral of Ushio.

He needed to keep his shit together if he wanted to save Mio and everyone from this kind of madness.

Especially now that he gained an unlikely ally in the mysterious form of Miss Nagumo Ryuunosuke. Their chance meeting was not an ideal one if he will go back to the prior events in his previous deaths and looping back of smashing his face accidentally into her well-endowed chest. But that was the least of his concerns when everything in this island was so fucked up and he could only be stupefied on how Nagumo was all taking it in stride and managed to even annihilate one of the Shadows with her skills and knowledge about them.

She was still as a leaf perching on a branch.

Deathly quiet when needed to be.

Sharp as a glistening knife in the kitchen.

And with an intelligence that she can turn into a simple discussion into an erudite conversation if needed to be.

Her dark, purple eyes alone could make him freeze in his stance as if she was investigating the deepest part of his mind and soul.

It’s as if you could never lie to her with that expression alone.

But despite of her intimidating stance and sometimes cold demeanor, Shinpei had a weird feeling spreading within him.

A feeling that he could trust her fully and be one of his most helpful allies in this clusterfuck of an event that he was trying to prevent from happening in the future.

When he died previously at the hands of Mio’s shadow, all he could feel was a numb sensation of nothingness and falling into an abyss of hopelessness.

He tried to save them…

…but some shit always happened and he was always outsmarted by the enemy.

Seeing his friends died in different ways before dying himself was a kind of despair that festered like a curse within him.

But it felt different now.

The way Nagumo shot him to his own death wasn’t like his death at all.

It felt like being reborn once again with a clear path and plan on his mind.

“If you can really go back, then find me and say your name. I swear I’ll save you.” Those were the last few words uttered by Nagumo before pulling the trigger and let the bullet pierced right through his chest and reset the time once again.

And seeing those familiar analytical yet understanding amethyst eyes clashing against his heterochromatic eyes once again felt liberating that Shinpei wanted jump and scream in joy.

But all he could do was settle for a hopeful gaze and watery smile at her direction.

Lord Byron once said, “Truth is stranger than fiction.”

Nagumo’s calm and steady voice brought him back to the present and stared at the book he gave her to sign on.

Shinpei listened silently as Nagumo calmly recounted the events and logically came to the correct conclusion about his existence.

“This isn’t the first time you’ve experienced today – July 22nd. One could say you repeated it multiple times. Which means you must be a time traveler.” She pushed up her glasses calmly into the bridge of her nose and locked her eyes with him.

Shinpei couldn’t help the small sniffle and tears escaped from his eyes as he looked at her with quiet desperation and hopefulness from his abject misery and situation.

With her help, they can defeat the Shadows from killing off the people into this island and seizing their existence.

“Yes.”

(A/N: Reviews are amusing so let me hear them from you).

Hello! What are your favorite obikin fics of all time? We need something to tide us over as we suffer through the incredible CMWIA slow burn!!

I’ve made a short rec list before that are all some of my absolute favorites!

Along with those a few of my other faves are...

Come Down From Your Holy Mountain by Jotunblood- Rated M-WIP-There aren’t a lot of fics where Anakin survives Mustafar that I’m a big fan of but this one is the ultimate exception.The characterization is so well done for both Obi and Anakin and it’s one of those redemption arcs I’ve been rooting for from chapter one.Jotun’s world building is spectacular and the core of the story revolves around a rag tag group of surviving Jedi who are fighting to take down baddies hunting remaining Jedi and black market dealers who are taking advantage of the fallen Jedi Order.It’s been a glorious slow burn to even get to enemies to tolerating being in the same room with one another,and it’s a rare gem where I’m as invested for the side characters as I am the obikin plot.

Master Mine by Little_tales- Rated E-The unst in this fic is just delightful and I am a shameless whore for de-aged Obi-Wan.Young Ewan McGregor?Fuck yes!Honestly the majority of this fic is just Anakin beside himself with lust and possession over Obi-Wan who he has taken as his padawan.Also Obi-Wan’s angst is superb.It’s really just a lot of fun to read and it’s one of my favorite fics for tension.

Symposium by Intermundia-Rated E-This was a recent one that came out of left field that left me absolutely reeling.It’s possibly my favorite execution I’ve seen of taking gleeful advantage of a created alien planet and culture, where the author reenacts Plato’s Symposium.As a historian this took me by the throat with delight just from that intro,but the fic is also filled with wonderful dialogue,a fresh iteration of alien aphrodisiac/sex pollen,and some truly superb mental suffering on Obi-Wan’s part.Anakin is a joyous bumbling bright light that is so fun to read,until the two finally give in for a wonderfully steamy encounter that had me squealing from the soft dom/beside himself with want vibes the two exhibited.

Within Limits by orphaned_account-Rated E-I love and I mean love obikin stories that center around Anakin and Obi-Wan in the field and surrounded by the 501st and 212th.Anything military-centric is my absolute jam and has my undying love.This is a fun shorter piece that takes place on a far outer rim planet where the GAR are dug in and utterly miserable in their entrenchments and caught under horrid and constant rain.It’s a super fun setting and the author does an excellent job going into the mundane realities of a situation straight out of the original Clone Wars series.Anakin is truly ridiculous in this one,and it’s just an all around delight.

Equinox by Lilyconrad-Rated E-Another top notch example of an author creating their own original planet/alien culture.This is of course one of the biggest ones in the fandom but damn if it doesn’t just hit all my buttons.Sith Obi-Wan and Anakin + mystery + dom/sub content + brilliant characterization,it’s just a 10/10 delight from first to last word.It’s sequel has equally had me by the throat and I am just so weak for all of its tropes.

Bound Up With You by DreamingMoonlight-Rated E-Can ya’ll tell I live for dom/sub vibes?Anakin is just so gloriously beside himself with want in this one and Obi-Wan is such a wonderful soft dom who knows how to push Anakin and help him control the raging storm inside of him.Also bondage???Hello there is not enough of this for this pairing and Lumi fucking gets me.

The Only One With Eyes by Catchclaw-Rated M-This is possibly the only exception to my dislike for Earth settings for obikin.The writing is just so gorgeous and melodic and the whole fic is just so terribly romantic and full of artistic pining and drama.I think this is the one I genuinely teared up from how gorgeous and besotted the whole story is.

The World Undone by Lilyconrad-Rated M-Another big name in the fandom that all of you have probably already read but God do I love Sith Obi-Wan,it’s just so terribly fun and sexy to read.The slow mystery the reader gets to unfold step by step through this story is also super fun.Honestly Wicked Thing permanently altered by brain and seduction by Sith Obi-Wan will always be close to my heart.

Home by Little_tales-Rated E-Contrary to pretty much everyone else’s preferences in this fandom,I’m not huge on time travel fics,simply because I find the dynamic hard to wrangle or difficult to accept as a reader.This fic is just so fun though and quite different from most other ones I have read.I love a good possessive Obi-Wan when it’s written right and Anakin is just so shameless and funny to read in this one.The last quarter of this fic was also such a fun surprise and has some of my absolute favorite Mace Windu/Anakin interactions I’ve read.

Needing Attention by DreamingMoonlight-Rated E-Another glorious pwp where Anakin is just an absolute wreck and Obi-Wan soft doms the shit out of him.This is my jam guys,and it will always grab my attention and Lumi does it so extremely well.

The Krayt Dragon of Tattooine by Luzifersboyfriend-Rated M-WIP-Honestly half of this list is exceptions to prompts or ideas I don’t generally go after but are so well done I love them,not in spite of it, but because of that.I’m not big on slave Anakin because the tendency is that Anakin is timid or restricted as a character in those arcs,oh but in this fic Anakin literally shines.It’s a really interesting take on Anakin as a character in a situation where he shouldn’t be in control or feel powerful,but he totally does and it’s enthralling and sexy to read.Obi-Wan’s character in this is so fun as well,and I’m hoping desperately that the fic hasn’t been abandoned.

These are honestly just a handful of my favorites but I’m literally the worst at bookmarking things and I know I’m forgetting quite a few.At some point in the hopefully near future I’m going to start an official rec page for my blog but until then we all get to suffer equally.

Fic Recs!

Sorry this took a while to compile, but here you go, just in time for your birthday @chocochub!

I went ahead and tried to describe any triggers or reasons for the rating (sex vs. violence). I’m sorry if I missed anything that makes you uncomfy that‘s the last thing I want!

Also I got really sleepy around the time I was formatting this so sorry if there’s any errors with links, grammar, or trigger warnings. I’ve tried to be as thorough as I can, but many of these I’ve finished over a year ago and can’t recall every theme or possibly upsetting event :(

•

Red Sky in Morning by GinForInk

Rating: E for Sex, Violence and Loss of Limb

Relationships: TaeJoon, YoonKook

Themes: Pirate AU, Curse AU, Adventure, Supernatural, Mystery, Horror

Summary: Captain Namjoon's cursed crew searches the Caribbean for a ship that can save them, and Namjoon's own men have more magic than they let on.

My notes: Even though there’s sex, it’s less smut and more romantic/stress relief than purposefully pornographic. Very heavy on Supernatural and Adventure. Characters are written very well! Definitely a favorite of mine.

•

Hijacker’s Island by Gobi17

Rating: T for semi-graphic violence and attempted sexual assault from a villain.

Relationships: None

Themes: Hijack Gone Wrong, Plane Crash, Island Survival, Befriending the Baddies, Psychological Thriller, Mystery, Action

Summary: Jungkook's flight home ends in disaster as a group of hijackers take over the plane, and events quickly spiral out of control.

My Notes: I really loved this one. It was an interactive story where the audience was able to choose what choices Jungkook (the main character) would make. His survival depended on the answers, and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. There is a lot of platonic character bonding, so no sex, however there is a bad guy that fixates on Kookie that later attempts to sexually assault him. If this is triggering to you please do not read.

•

Butterfingers by jincherie

Rating: G

Relationships: RM/Reader

Themes: Co-workers, Teachers, Hybrids, Penguin-Hybrid Joon, Heavy Fluff, Penguin Courting uwu

Summary: He had you at the very first pebble he gave you.

My notes: Extremely cute. I’m not usually on for Reader fics as they’re usually rife with unneeded smut and OOC-ness, but I love Namjoon being an awkward, unusual Hybrid and I LOVE cute, animalistic behavior.

•

Do Not Meddle In The Affairs Of Dragons, For You Are Crunchy And Taste Good With Ketchup by Runchrandom

Rating: T

Relationships: OT7, but Namjoon-centric

Themes: Supernatural, Humor, Crack treated seriously, part of a series, Dragon-Joon

Summary: In which Namjoon is a man who doesn't know what he wants, then accidentally figures it out while turning into a very large lizard.

My notes: Part of a very cute and funny series of Supernatural boyband BTS, navigating their inherent differences and similarities. Also lots of protective Dragon Namjoon taking good care of his Treasures UwU

•

you have 1 new message by bazooka

Rating: T

Relationship: NamJin (my OTP)

Themes: Humor, Text Fic, Imbedded Pictures, Suspense/Mystery

Summary:

r u n c h r a n d a.

fuck

this is going to sound like the weirdest shit

okay look i used ur selcas to catfish and this older dude is gonna buy me stuff but i have to send him a selca with a peace sign

~ * ~ pingkeu jin ~ * ~

hahahahahahaha wtf

My notes: As someone who steers clear of text fics, this one I actually loved! Very funny and clever, the developing relationship between NamJin is hilarious. It also turns into a mystery/thriller???

(You can only read it if you have an Ao3 account as it’s locked to users only)

•

Vending Machines and Bad Ideas by smiles

Rating: G

Themes: Blind Dates, Meet Cute, Humor, Rom-Com

Relationships: 2Seok

Summary: Hoseok needed to focus, regroup. He needed to evaluate the situation, weigh his options, and find a solution. He needed to work through this like the capable adult he was. He needed to get his hand out of this stupid vending machine.

My notes: 2Seok is a guilty pleasure of mine lol. This was cute, funny and sweet.

•

Human by SunShineSwag

Rating: E for Graphic Violence, Many Murders, Sex, Mentions of Past Abuse and Temporary Character Death

Themes: Serial Killer/Dexter AU, Suspense/Mystery, Romance, Crime, Fluff, Hobi Teaches Yoongi How To Emotion™

Relationships: SOPE, NamJin, side VMinKook

Summary: During the day, Yoongi works for the police as a forensic expert.

But when night falls, he becomes a nightmare.

A serial killer.

My notes: Just finished this one and wow I’m so in love! It seems really intimidating from the tags and summary, but I swear it is also super ooey gooey soft and mushy. There is lots of angst, suspense and hurt/comfort, but with a very happy ending! I actually avoided this fic for a few months cause I didn’t think I was in the right headspace for something super dark, but it was actually quite fluffy.

•

Jungkook’s House for the Wayward Werewolf by Rivertoforever

Rating: T for Non-Sexual Intimacy

Themes: Supernatural, Humor, Hurt/Comfort, slight Dom/sub dynamics, Werewolfs, Very Non-Traditional ABO, Asexual/Poly Relationship, Roomate AUish

Relationships: OT7 but very Jungkook-centric

Summary: Being the only human in a household of werewolves can lead to strange experiences, mixed signals, weird behaviour and a lap full of fur.

My notes: This is one of my favorite stories of all time! It’s unfortunately unfinished and has been for a while, so if you’re not a fan of WIPs this won’t be for you :( Otherwise, I reread it all the time! I remember loving the relationship and dynamic between the characters and how they were all very respectful of JK not wanting to be physical with them. A year later I discover I’m Ace! Haha! I consider this fic one of the many things that pushed me in the right direction. It’s very cute, fluffy and soft!

•

[And uh... I considered putting this on the list before but thought it was a little too heavy on sex/smut so I took it off, but I’ll leave it here for you to decide. I think that the smut scenes in this fic aren’t necessarily there for “smexy cock fun times” and are more outright statements on gender equality, sociology, informed consent and healthy relationships. Hence why I’ve left it in!]

Mentoring on Marsa by FlyYouFools1

Rating: E for Sex, Firm Dub-Con, Discussion of Non-Con, Violence, Unhealthy Relationships

Themes: ABO, Technically Aliens?, Societal Differences, Culture Shock, Kind of Sugar Baby AU, Viva La Omegan Revolution, Teaching Alphas to Not Be Dicks™, One Big Fat Metaphor for Real Life Gender Discrimination and Systematic Abuse

Relationships: VMinKook, YoonJinNamSeok

Summary: Jungkook comes to the planet Marsa after being promised a full scholarship to Marsa National University. When the scholarship falls through, his academic advisor gives him the number for a mentoring service for newly stranded omegas on Marsa. With rent due, no way home, and no success in finding a job, Jungkook calls the number. The organization sends him Min Yoongi, a fellow omega who's been living on Marsa for 8 years. Yoongi teaches him how to survive. Jungkook's first attempt at survival is alpha couple Jimin and Taehyung.

My notes: This is the really long part one that just finished. It’s 50 chapters of emotional healing, statements on consent, character growth and sneaky omegas. I’m a huge fan of non-traditional ABO fics, and I love when sex is treated not as a “just cause I can”, but as an actual example of gender politics and relationship growth. If anyone is aspec, this might not be the story for you! But if you can mentally push past the idea of sex, I assure you it’s not “porn for the sake of porn”.

#phew #its finally done #sorry this took so long!#I was going through all of my bookmark folders for fics that matched what you said you liked #I specifically left out the ones with smut death or extremely dark themes #and I also made sure nearly all of these fics are finished or one shots #happy birthday again!

Random Keys/UF Crossover Ideas

Because I’m torn between both of my projects right now and I hate myself, here’s something that’ll only really appeal to the very niche audience of people who read both Universe Falls and Keys to the Kingdom. Basically its a list of somewhat spoilery (for Keys more than UF) headcanons of what it might be like if the Gravity Falls world scheduled to be in Keys was a Universe Falls world instead (in the sense that it still takes place in Gravity Falls physically but like... its set in the universe of Universe Falls (oy I’m explaining too much lemme just start rambling off the random ideas that have been popping into my head over the last several days of this hypothetical crossover of my two stupid fanfics):

For reference’s sake, on the UF end of things, this would take place somewhere around the middle of arc10ish, pretty close to Weirdmageddon as the GF world in Keys is gonna take place pretty close to Weirdmageddon too.

For Keys, the trip to this world would still take place in the same spot the GF world does, so semi close to the end of the story, as one of the last Disney worlds of the fic (guess it wouldn’t really be a “Disney” world here but ehhhhhh)

Guess I better give some context about what’s going on in each fic around that time; UF’s is easier to do so we’ll start with that; basically without spoiling a certain upcoming arc ender too much, during arc 10, everyone’s sorta frazzled what between all of the interdimensional travel, worries about Bill coming back and causing chaos, worries about the Diamonds possibly getting involved in stuff, shaken by the recent revelation that Rose allegedly shattered Pink Diamond and so on (basically there’s a lot going on in the leadup to UF’s ending hahaha)

Context for Keys (again without getting too spoilery (gotta tread even more careful here) is that by this point in the story Sora is basically in nonstop Panic Mode about the whole norting thing thanks to a certain encounter with one Bald Old Fuckhead during the Aladdin world immediately before this; so Sora’s on the run from basically his entire support system cause he’s all worried about unintentionally hurting his friends (and he also just doesn’t want Riku or Kairi in particular to see what’s happening to him cause Disaster Bi).

Cont. Context for Keys cause that last bullet point was Long: Despite all this fuckin Angst, Sora’s still out searching for the Keys on his own in the hopes of securing the final few for the guardians of light before he can be fully norted and forced into handing them over to the Organization instead

Not to mention those freak relatively dark/light powers of his are alll outta whack cause he A. Doesn’t know how to control them At All and B. Is Emotionally Distraught so that’s only making things worse

And the entire gang is more or less out searching the worlds tryin’ to find Sora (he yeeted his Gummi Phone off a fuckin cliff or something just so nobody could get in touch with him smh what a waste of a perfectly good cell phone); among the teams that are out doing so include the one we’re gonna focus on here, Ven and Roxas

Back to the UF end of things, I wanna talk about where each of the Mystery Kids are at this point; Steven is sorta all over the place with, again, the revelation that his mom could have been a murderer; Dipper is hella nervous about the idea of Bill getting his hands on the Rift (even moreso after RMD cause PTSD is Somethin Else kids), Mabel is in that mindset of not wanting the summer to end so they can all stay together, and Connie is basically (as usual) the only one with any brain cells as she’s trying to hold the gang together

(lowkey spoilers for the Keys GF chapters start here) So Sora arrives in Gravity Falls, suffering from all the angsts and anxieties and whatnot and just Not Having a Very Good Time Emotionally/Mentally as he starts lookin around for the Key in the woods or whatever

But lo and behold everyone’s favorite Evil Corn Chip just so happens to be spyin’ on him, and before too long Bill makes his appearance and acts all friendly to Sora, claiming that he can basically undo the whole norting thing (which he knows all about because of course he would, this is Bill Fucking Cipher we’re talking about here)

Sora’s skeptical but at the same time he’s sort of willing to do whatever he can at this point to keep his heart from being taken over by Mr. Bald Old Fuckhead and all Bill is asking for in return is for him to nab some sparkly snow globe that he claims already belongs to him but was stolen by some local family who Bill makes out to be pretty bad so hey, why not at least give it a shot? (dumb, the kid is dumb this is something we’ve established many times over by this point)

So Sora sets out to look for both the rift and the Key (while also being harangued by Xemnas who’s the Org. baddie of the GF world but errrrr i don’t have a ton of ideas about what he’s gonna do yet so we’ll just skip over that for now and focus on somethin else)

Something else being the fact that Sora happens upon a bunch of kids being attacked by a group of Nobodies, so he swoops in to save them even though the kids already look like they’re holding their own pretty well against them (two of them are out here swinging swords around, one’s really handy with that grappling hook while another one has some sort of magical shield? Its weird??? But cool imo)

So they all team up to take the Nobodies out and following that, Sora meets and mostly hits it off with the Mystery Kids

Mabel is super hype (she kinda instantly crushes on Sora as soon as she sees him even though he’s too fuckin old for her); Steven and Sora radiate the same sort of Sweet But Sad energy so of course they’re best friends immediately

Connie’s a lil bewildered by Sora (who the hell goes around swinging a giant key like its a sword, that’s just not practical???) but Dipper’s distrustful radar is instantly raised for a a number of reasons, but the biggest red flag he notices about Sora by far is that his eyes are yellow (btw by this point his eyes will more or less be completely yellow and his hair almost entirely white; he usually wears his hood up to try and hide that, but it got blown off during the forementioned fight)

So the kids were out and about in the woods for mystery hunting reasons, mostly cause they were trying to cool their heads from all of the stress they’re under mentioned earlier (and cause hey, the summer’s ending soon and they gotta spend all the time they can together at this point)

However, they quickly change gears when they learn about Sora’s quest to find some magical Key and they all eagerly decide they wanna help with that cause it sounds hella rad; Dipper would likely be the only dissenter to this plan, but he’d be lowkey about it, kinda deciding to keep a suspicious eye on Sora all the while (he doesn’t really act like he’s being possessed by Bill, but ya can never be too sure nowadays...)

So they all set out in search of the Key (Sora decides not to tell them about Bill or the rift just yet, but even so right off the bat he’s basically decided “yes I’m adopting all four of these kids as my new little brothers and sisters and no one can stop me”)

So cut to the other end of things and we have Ven and Roxas who have basically only just met each other face to face for the first time (they’re both basically constantly doin that spiderman look alike meme); they’ve been more or less teamed up to look for Sora together tho, and they both got a massive guilt complex about the whole thing cause they used to be able to directly protect him inside his heart but now they can’t since they’re out of it so they’re determined to find him and make sure he’s OK

They also show up in Gravity Falls, arriving much closer to the Mystery Shack and the Gem Temple than Sora did; since its the closest thing nearby, the boys decide to venture over to the Mystery Shack to look first

After some brief, confused yet fun conversation with Soos and Wendy, they bump into Stan and that initial meeting goes something like:

Stan: Who the hell are you two supposed to be? You twins or something?

Roxas: No??? What the fuck is a twin??

Ventus, realizing that Roxas has like 0 real world experience or regard for world order at that moment right fucking there: (oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck) Ummmm YES WE ARE WE’RE TOTALLY TWINS AHAHA AREN’T WE BROTHER?

Roxas, immensely confused: What the hell is a brother??

And then Ford shows up and Roxas looks between him and Stan is just like “ooooh ok now I get what a twin is” and Ven is just like “oh my god I think Roxas managed to catch some of Sora’s stupidity after all asdkjalsdkalsd”

Anyway after all this awkward confusion is over, Roxas and Ven bring up that they’re there looking for someone, and while neither Stan nor Ford are that invested, they do offhandedly mention maybe the Crystal Gems can help

Ironically enough, the Gems happen to burst into the shack right then and there, taking refuge from the surge of strange creatures swarming outside (Nobodies & Heartless); the Gems are rather overwhelmed by them since their weapons don’t work that great on them so they’ve come to seek Ford’s help (since he’s got all those weapons and lasers and shit he keeps stockpiled)

In this Ven and Roxas end up meeting the Gems and both of them are just like :O (Ven’s lowkey like, “Aqua would get along great with these ladies, they’re total badasses just like her!”) and the Gems just kinda pass the boyos off like “yeah whatever there’s a fuckton of monsters outside meanwhile where are our kids?”

Stan and Ford are like *shrug* cause neither of them are very good at being Responsible when it comes to keeping an eye on these danger-prone kids and the Gems are just like *facepalm* “Morons” so they set out to find the kids and Ven and Roxas are like “well they know their way around here so why not go with them to see if we can find Sora too!” and so they all head out on a lil adventure

Then a whole bunch of stuff happens on both sides of the plot that I haven’t bothered to figure out; bunch of cute character interactions and whatever; insert possible second encounter with Xemnas in here somewhere where he basically shows up just to intimidate Sora but Sora’s like “no way jose, you touch any of these precious kiddos and you’ll Die”

Somewhere in here, under... some circumstances, Sora and the MK make it back to the shack but like... everyone’s gone? (cause they all went out to look for them, didn’t even leave a note, fuckin rude)

They search the house for anybody and then, on complete fuckin accident, Sora finds his way down into the basement (the portal room to be exact) and what else does he find down there but that thing Bill asked him to get (the rift)!

Though he’s a little confused about why its there (Bill did say some awful family “stole” the rift from him, but none of the MK are awful, they a bunch of Good Kids); Sora still pockets it like a desperate dummy dumb anyway and doesn’t say a word about it to the kids because he thinks they might be too innocent and young to know anything about it anyway (he’s wrong of course because much like him these kids are Traumatized with a capital T but we’ll just ignore that for now)

Still on the search for that Key, Sora and the kids head out only to run right into Stan, Ford, and the Gems on the way out; course, Ven and Roxas are still with them and they see Sora and they’re like :D while Sora’s just like “aw fuck” and runs away from his problems like always

So he rushes off into the woods and who else would show up but that Motherfuckin Evil Corn Chip again who’s like “yo kid ya got the stuff” and Sora’s just like “brb having a panic attack rn” but then he ends up obliviously handing the rift over anyway cause again he’s incredibly desperate for any way out of his current horrible situation

Of course because I’m a sap for Drama, he happens to do so just as all four of the MK show up, having followed him into the woods and ohohohoh boy oh boy let’s just say them seeing Sora just up and giving the rift over to Bill would be a Moment (well, at least for Steven and Dipper cause they actually know what the fuckin rift is unlike Mabel and Connie who still wouldn’t at that point)

So basically Bill is a little shit and takes the rift, but he can’t actually fuckin do anything with it cause he’s a physical object and he’s still intangible (or somethin like that idk I just don’t want Weirdmageddon to happen cause it would make things too complicated) so he’s like “fuck gotta find some stupid sap to possess so I can smash this dumb thing” and he nearly targets Sora (cause the kid was already stupid enough to help him in the first place so why not?) until Steven ends up being the one to fend him off using his shield

Bill shrugs it off and makes off with the rift anyway (its like... hovering or something? idk I’m running out of steam) and everyone panics of course, especially Sora cause he’s just like “well shit I certainly Fucked Up didn’t i?” and the MK are both a mix of “YOU THINK?” (from Dipper and Connie mostly) and “imo not your fault Bill’s tricked just about all of us he’s an asshole” (from Steven and Mabel)

Amidst this a bunch of lil things also happen; the Stans and the Gems show up (along with Ven and Roxas), basically everyone is immensely confused (aka those who have no idea what the fucking rift is) and alarmed (those who do know what the rift is) that Bill has what he needs to more or less fuck the entire world over

So everyone just decides to put everything aside and team up all together to track Bill down and get the rift back before he can break it (there’s a lot of heartwarming trust moments in here, mostly cause trust is like... the cornerstone theme of the GF chapters in Keys for obvious reasons)

They eventually do find him and *insert big epic battle scene here* where everyone teams up to basically beat Bill to death or whatever (don’t ask me how they be doin that if he’s intangible, again I.... I’m tired and this post is long enough as it is)

Yadda yadda yadda they beat him, get the rift back and effectively prevent Weirdmageddon from happening to begin with (which just does SO much wonderful fuckery for UF’s timeline moving forward but whatever, this ain’t about that)

Oh and during that Climactic Battle Scene somewhere there’s some bit about Sora learning to better trust others/himself that leads to him getting the world’s Key? I-I I dunno its a work in progress...

Anyway after this there’s a lot of good character interactions all around, reconciliations between the UF characters and the Keys characters, particularly between Sora and the MK (again he’s adopted these kiddos and don’t you forget it)

So with the Key in hand, Sora starts to leave and Roxas and Ven almost convince him to go back with them until *insert Big Keys Spoiler here that results in the Organization getting their hands on that Key Sora just got and also results in Sora running away again cause... reasons*

And that’s the end of the chapters or whatever idk

There’s probably more ideas I had in mind for this but I literally can’t do anymore my brain is dying

I might possibly write this for reals someday i dunno I’m stuck in two personal hells here so I might as well combine ‘em

Yes I’m aware this post leans more heavily on Keys than UF but its set in the world of UF so fuck off

Feel free to add on with any thoughts you might have about the idea

I’m tired

Amen

#jen writes #universe falls #keys to the kingdom #long post is loooooong #headcanons #ideas #who am i kidding i will literally never do anything with this idea ofther than this very fucking post #then again... i like Angst :)#and UF and Keys both got plenty of it

Nancy Drew Game Ideas

Plot Ideas:

Anarchanoid -

I've always wanted a nancy drew game similar to episode 3 of Sherlock, where she has to solve a mystery quick as every hour or so someone else gets killed. It would add a lot of tension and having people killed in different areas would be a good way to add more areas to investigate as the game goes on.

Anonymous -

A storyline involving a Serial Killer would be pretty dark. Particularly if they killed somebody close to Nancy.

Celiaeqqus -

I came up with an idea for a fan fic (and I really need to get around to writing it), where Nancy is kidnapped by some baddies who've heard about how good she is at solving mysteries. Who told them this? Dwayne Powers, who still has the map from RAN and is using a gang to get Nancy to help him find the treasure. Other prisoners alongside Nancy would be Henrik, since he's doing glyph translations, maybe Prudence Rutherford or Charlena Purcell, since they both have encyclopaedic knowledge about certain parts of history. If they did this as a game, maybe the player could get a chance to play as the other captives, so the majority of it isn't set in Nancy's cell. Of course, in the fan fic we'd see other characters from all over... maybe Nancy could have a TV in the room and sees reports of her family and friends - and people she's helped on past cases - doing their damnedest to find her?

Nancy Drew: Music of the Unknown

Nancy and Ned travel to Austria for a long overdue vacation. They have a romantic evening planned at a historic music hall to watch a famous conductor direct an enchanting, almost hypnotizing concerto she wrote herself. Half way through the concerto, the harmony turns to cacophony, the conductor passes out, and the lights go out. Rumors about the conductor fly around the theatre as the show pauses at an early intermission. Some people think the conductor is losing it. Maybe the conductor has pushed themselves too far. Maybe the conductor has a secret no one knows about. Nancy can’t help but feel there’s something more sinister afoot.

Although she promised Ned that there’d be no mysteries on their vacation, she can’t help but be pulled in by the music’s call. Can Nancy help the conductor before she’s pushed too far? Will this mystery break Nancy and Ned’s relationship? Go to Austria to find out. The music of the unknown is calling.

Detectivecatsuitdrew -

Nancy Drew: Mystery of the Vampire’s Curse

Nancy’s investigated werewolves, monsters, mummies, and all sorts of ghosts, so it’s time to head to Romania to investigate a vampire.

Nancy accompanies Carson on a trip to a small town in Transylvania, Romania to pick up a few documents and look into a few things for one of Carson’s clients. It’s the perfect chance to explore a quaint little town and catch up on some father-daughter bonding time. All of that flies out the window when Nancy herself gets kidnapped! Some of the locals say there’s an actual vampire plaguing the town. Could that possibly be true?

Switch back and forth between Nancy and Carson to figure out who took Nancy and why, and more importantly, find out where she is before it’s too late. The stakes have never been higher, and the consequences of failing never more deadly.

Detectivecatsuitdrew -

Nancy Drew: The Secret in the Vineyard

When a vineyard’s owner dies, there’s no suspicion of foul play. The youngest child of the late owner, however, isn’t convinced. He calls on Nancy Drew to investigate. Her presence ruffles the feathers of the two older siblings. As the tension rises in the house, Nancy concludes that the coroner was right; the vineyard’s owner died by natural causes.

However, there’s a bigger mystery at hand. After learning the vineyard was used as a set in a film made in the 1950s, a film plagued with mishaps and even a crime that ended the film’s production, Nancy learns that the late owner may have taken a secret to the grave. Can Nancy solve a decade’s old crime? Are there other secrets hiding in this vineyard? Travel to Northern California to find out!

Detectivecatsuitdrew -

Nancy Drew: The Asylum Ghost

Nancy isn’t surprised to hear from her friend, Savannah Woodham. She is surprised, however, when she asks her to be her assistant for a new venture. Nancy travels to an old abandoned asylum alongside Savannah as Savannah serves as an expert in a new documentary, directed by John Grey from TRN of all people.

Nancy learns about one of the most infamous patients at the asylum, a woman labeled “Crazy Mary.” As John Grey’s crew works to capture footage and hauntings, Nancy conducts her own investigation alongside Savannah. Both women just know there’s something more to Mary’s story than history’s telling. Can Nancy set the past right?

Detectivecatsuitdrew -

Nancy Drew: The Note in the Sanctuary

Nancy decides to take some time to volunteer at an animal sanctuary with Bess and George. Everything is going smoothly until, one night, there’s a break-in! Someone tries to steal one of the animals, but why? To sell the animal on the black market? To keep it as a pet? Or is the sanctuary not as reputable as it seems?

With the help of her friends, Nancy has to figure out who’s behind the attempted crime before they strike again. More importantly, she needs to know the truth to make sure she’s doing what she originally volunteered to do: take care of the animals and make sure they’re safe.

Fashion77 -

Nancy could be flying to or from River Heights (whichever) and the plane could crash! The mystery could be to find out what caused the crash, find her missing friends (they were in the plane crash too), and/or find her way out of they jungle they crashed in (with no food or water she would only have so much time to survive)!

The Key Clue :) -

[They explained how the first game would end, so I put that under “Ending Ideas.”]

OK, so for the second game, it picks up where we left off and we learn a little more about what happened. The plane's been hijacked and unless Nancy is able to retrieve a device from a representative of the Australian branch of Krolmeister that's being sent to the US for testing, "her fellow passengers will pay the price." Nancy is told that they've brought enough fuel on the plane to allow them to stay up in the air for days and also have a secret island they'll be hovering around where they can refuel. They also disabled the device on the plane that allows them to be tracked before the plane took off. So the second game is basically Nancy being the only one who knows what's going on, has to tell the other passengers a reason made up by the hijackers for the odd event, and find and essentially steal this hidden device for them. If she succeeds, everyone will be OK and the plane will go back on course home. She has to hurry up, or else everyone (including air traffic control) will get suspicious. If any passengers find out what's going on, the hijackers cover will be blown. This whole event is supposed to be a secret from Krolmeister. If she contacts the police in any way, she'll suffer the consequences. I figure though that she can somehow reason with the hijackers to let her phone her friends for help, as long as they don't contact the police. They do tell Nancy, however, that if the police show up anywhere near them, "everyone will suffer the consequences." So Nancy is in a situation where she has to comply.

Likealonewolf -

I'm partial to Sweden because it's the only place I've been outside of the U.S. There's a lot of fun cultural things they could put in there. Lots of yummy pastries and deserts too. Maybe Nancy could have to pose as a volunteer at an open air museum similar to Skansen? That way they could have cute animals and incorporate the different parts of the country into one game without excessive travel. And there is train travel that Nancy could utilize. Also, it would actually make sense for the local characters to speak English because most Swedes can speak English.

Mardropkick -

I want another game similar to Phantom of Venice where you get to do a lot of undercover work, but make it be into some sort of organization. Ooh! maybe you have to go undercover as part of an organization to learn its secrets and spy on them for someone else.

Mardropkick -

The other thing that would be cool is a National Treasure type game where you had to travel to different locations, but make the background and story line darker. Maybe something about an unsolved case?

MississippiJoel -

A human trafficking theme.

Nancy is called to investigate the disappearance of a cute teenaged girl, snatched from the streets in a third world country.

As she digs deeper, she meets escaped former slaves from a shadow organization that kidnaps people and forces them into hard labor. Eventually, she sneaks into a labor camp, frees the girl, finds the diamonds the slaves were searching for (think Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom), they have a daring escape, and Nancy presents convincing evidence to the authorities of the existence of the kidnappers, leading to the liberation of the camp and the prosecution of the criminals.

I think that would be the perfect way to raise awareness of modern slavery, and would lend itself to the perfect amount of danger while telling the story in a compelling way.

Nanfanhan -

[Playing as the culprit] Let's say this is ICE you're playing. You have a checklist, but nothing else. You are out in the mountains, with a bomb. When you check your checklist, it says {} Let loose bomb on Avalanche Hill. {} Make sure no one gets suspicious. You can't see any part of yourself, or hear your voice, and you don't have money, inventory, other suspects around, or a cell phone, so you can't tell who you are. [What, you thought you'd know who you were?] You put down the bomb in the designated spot, then it goes... ..........EXPLOSION NOISE.......... [You switch to Nancy] "What was that noise?" And so on.

Pandaplusbunny -

If I had to write a darker-than-usual story, I'd probably make it something that affects more than just the characters in the story. A threat of bioterrorism (similar to the plot of Inferno maybe?) or a huge corporate or government scandal that could rock the nation/economy. I guess just make it more of a realistic threat instead of "Oo a spooky ghost!"

The problem is that tension is immediately dissolved when Nancy is sent on errands. They need to keep the thread going, with Nancy commenting, "I better get this task done or else xyz!"

Rrieger -

It's gonna sound horrible when I word it this way, but I'd love to see the target be an old fan favorite character instead of someone close to Nancy. Like, if they offed one of the cowboys from Secret of Shadow Ranch. I think this type of plot would serve a few points -- more emotional investment = more motivation to solve the game, a familiar place for old fans would bring that touch of nostalgia that sells so well, and new fans would want to play the old game to understand the whole deal. Win win win

Sedimentally -

I agree with bioterrorism. Like maybe someone breaks into the CDC and steals a new strain of deadly virus. They catch the guy but he won't give up where he hid it. While in custody, he tries to get a message out to his friend (he had to change the dropoff location at the last second when the police were on his tail.) The police intercept it but the message is coded. Now nancy is racing to find the stolen viles before the other guy can.

Tyrianpurple -

I think it would be cool if Nancy had to go undercover and infiltrate a cult based on an anonymous tip from someone on the inside asking to be saved, but because it was anonymous Nancy doesn't know who among the characters is the one asking to be rescued so she needs to maintain her cover. Snooping and investigating would have to take place at night and she would have to avoid getting busted. All the suspects would seem shady so it would be up to Nancy's investigating to figure out who is the one that asked to be rescued.

Ultimate game objective would be to not just save the victim but also implicate the cult leader.

Veryveryinteresting -

Maybe a plot based in a hospital, Nancy has to visit the morgue, patients, blood bank, something like that. Maybe one of the staff has disappeared or bodies gone missing, or the hospital is on lock down due to an outbreak of some kind. She could visit each floor of the hospital, including roof and creepy basement!

@yiikesyikes (post) -

I’d love for the next Nancy mystery to be set on a cruise ship like they’d planned on doing for the dossier games. The spooks! The waves! The mortal danger of being trapped on the ocean with a ruthless criminal!!!

They could even steal the entire plot from the 70s TV show. They had an immaculate episode where Nancy had to protect a mystery novelist who was being forced to live one of his murder mysteries. “The Mystery of the Ghostwriters Cruise” would be a Nancy game to remember!!

Ending Ideas:

Anonymous -

I want a Nancy Drew game that features Hotchkiss as one of the characters and at the end, it looks like the culprit is going to get away with their crime, but Hotchkiss comes over at the last second and hits them over the head with a guitar, saying, "Rock and roll, dear."

The Key Clue :) -

So, in the first game it would be Nancy in Australia - something we all want! I have absolutely no idea what the plot would be, but my idea involves more of the ending of this game. The game ends in a cliff-hanger. Just after Nancy explains the solution of the mystery and before the credits come up, Nancy is boarding her plane home. The plane takes off and an announcement comes over from the pilot. Something along the lines of "Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached our cruising altitude of 30,000 feet and the weather looks..." The pilot stops speaking abruptly and you here a crash over the PA system. The plane takes a nose dive and quickly comes up again back onto its regular course. A strange voice comes over the system and says "Would Nancy Drew please come to the cockpit immediately. If she refuses to comply with our wishes, her fellow passengers will pay the price." Something threatening along those lines. And that's it. The game ends.

Mayaw1010

Along the lines of SPY though, one aspect I really liked about that game and Ghost of Thornton Hall that I want to see more of is when we get to make choices that affect the game. I loved how GTH had multiple endings and SPY gave you the choice to work with the opposing group or not. For me, making choices that actually matter really creates tension.

She’s Yours?

A/N: I had this idea for a while and I do NOT correlate it to that song with that pedophilic fuck nigga R. Kelly so don’t you dare start with me! This kind of a in between imagines fic because the next few fics will sequels to fics I’ve already written but you guys wanted a part 2!

Pairing: Issa surprise that I’m sure y’all can figure out.

Summary: A very odd occurrence is happening and it has everyone scratching their head

Warnings: Language. Reader is a baddie, a black queen.

Word Count: Lmao, just skip this part. You know the answer.

Steve and Bucky walked through the pristine corridor , talking and laughing with one another as they avoided the bustling bodies and chatter around them. They were both on their way to lunch to discuss an alliance with two other company heads, both of them talking about the amazing woman they had met.

“I’m telling you, she’s like no other woman I’ve met. She has this amazing smile, the smoothest skin and OH! She has this cute birthmark that I love tracing. God, I know it’s only been a month but...I can see the rest of my life with her.” Bucky spoke, eyes glazed over as he went through his memories of blissful nights with the mystery woman.

“Wow, Buck. She sounds great, I’d love to meat her one day. And I’d love for you to meet mine. She’s the cutest, most kindest woman I’ve ever met. She has this passion for caring for others that compares to no other. She’s genuinely perfect in every aspect.” Steve spoke about his woman, his eyes lighting up. He had known his woman for a bit longer than Buck and it was hands down one of the best times of his life.

“Sounds like we’re both whipped pal, maybe we should go on a double date soon. In the meantime, we need to hurry up and get to lunch before we’re late.” Bucky checked his watch before the two of them picked up their pace.

—————

Erik walked to the table where his close friend Trevante sat. Trevante stood up, immediately recognizing his friend. They dapped each other up in that way all men do before sitting down, Erik unbuttoning his jacket to sit comfortably. “What’s been going on with you, Tre? Last time I saw you, you were drunk off ya ass at that party.” Erik laughed at the memory and Tre winced, a smile still gracing his face.

“Mannn, I thought we agreed to forget about that? Wasn’t my finest hour.” The two men laughed as the waiter came to take their drink orders. Tre put his in before leaning forward, as did Erik. “So, what’s this I hear about my boy being swept up off his feet?”

Erik chuckled before pointing a finger at him. “First of all, don’t ever say that shit in regards to me again. Second of all, yeah, man. Shawty is...something special. But I heard you got somebody too, boy!” Erik brought up what had been circling around the city for a minute and Tre’s smile grew, nodding.

“Yeah, yeah. I got somebody real special. She’s gotta have the smartest mouth I’ve ever seen on a woman, she’s funny as hell, cool, knows how to handle business. She’s...whew, she’s a dime for sure.” Tre spoke Erik leaned back, laughing to himself.

“Oh nahhh, she got my boy whipped.” The men laughed and Tre shrugged. “Ain’t nothing wrong with that, what about you though? Heard you haven’t been able to stop talking about her since y’all got together.”

Erik nodded, biting his lip. “Yeah, she is. She can go from goofy to nothing but business at the drop of a hat. She be looking out for me too, always making sure I slept, ate, took a shower. She’s a keeper.”

Just as Erik finished up his speech Steve and Bucky walked in. The hostess directed them to the table and Erik and Tre stood, shaking hands with the other two men. They exchanged polite greetings before sitting, engaging in a bit of small talk

Laughter flowed throughout the interaction, the men making jokes. “Yeah, Erik here was just enlightening me on the woman he’s been seeing.” Tre spoke up and Bucky’s eyebrows rose. “Really? Steve and I were just talking about our special ladies on the way here.”

Tre and Erik chuckled as Steve nodded in agreement. “Looks like we’re all caught up in a phenomenal female.” Steve spoke and everyone at the table agreed. Erik took a sip from his drink before rubbing his hands together, an ecstatic smile on his face. “Alright, gentleman. Let’s get down to business.”

—————

Time seemed to fly by with the light conversation and easy business talk that the four men were currently engaging in. They’re meals had just arrived and they stopped the business talk for the moment to enjoy they’re food and just talk about life.

“Tell me about your girl, Tre.” Steve spoke up, wiping the corners of his mouth with a napkin before dropping it in his lap. Trevante did the same before sitting up. “Well, she’s this...alluring beauty. I wish you guys knew how beautiful she was. She has this fresh outlook on life and it just makes her all the more amazing to be around. Her eyes light up when she talks about her passion. It’s really everything about her that I love.”

Erik and Bucky nodded. “It’s the same with me, she’s so thoughtful and caring. She doesn’t hesitate to give and put others before herself. But don’t let that full you, she’s quick to put someone in their place. She’s even done it with me a couple of time.” Bucky laughed and the table erupted in understanding.

“Sounds like we all have some keepers.” Erik spoke and they all nodded in agreement. Steve’s eyes rose from his plate and glanced around before he did a double take. His smile grew wider as he saw his woman standing at the entrance, talking to the hostess, presumably here to meet with a client.

“Speaking of my woman. Y/N!” He yelled and your head snapped up from the reservation list you had your finger on. You politely asked the hostess to ready your table before telling her you’d be right back.

You wore a slightly confused expression on your face as the four men’s head snapped up at the name. The only face you recognized was Erik’s so who is this blonde calling you by your first name.

Steve stood up and walked towards you, wrapping his arms around you before placing a confident kiss on your lips. You dropped your purse and stood in shock, eyes open. Your body finally registered what was happening and you immediately pinched his side, causing the stranger to let go. He winced and you looked at him like he was crazy.

“The hell is wrong with you? I thought we were best friends!” You heard the brunette speak up, watching him pop up. “And you! Why would you go after him?! Of all people?”

You looked at the brunette, eyebrows knitted in confusion. You opened your mouth to speak before the dark skinned man with the low fade stood up, “The hell are you talking about?! Y/N, what the fuck are they talking about?”

You opened your mouth again but we’re cut off by Erik. “That’s how you gon do a nigga? You fucking my homeboy and—“

“Will y’all shut the fuck up?!” You rose your voice and they hushed immediately. You huffed and turned to Steve, an apologetic expression on your face. “Sir, I’m sorry but you have me mistaken for someone else. All of you do, ‘cept for Erik. I don’t know the rest of y’all but I obviously look like someone y’all know, sorry for the confusion.”

Steve blinked, Bucky tilted his head, and Tre scratched the back of his neck while Erik walked up to you. “Hey, boo!” You smiled in recognition before pulling on his dreads. He winced and before he could ask you replied. “That’s for thinking I’d ever cheat on you. Although, you can’t be TOO mad. If I did cheat on you with any of them it wouldn’t exactly be a downgrade.”

You smiled at the men and they laughed, Steve going red from embarrassment as he stepped forward to apologize. “I’m so sorry, I thought you were my girl. You look exactly like my girl, it’s honestly freaky.” You nodded and raised your hand to pat his chest. “It’s no problem. Can I see what she looks like? Well can I see what all of your girls look like?”

The rest of the men pulled out their phones and showed you a picture of their respective girls. Your eyes widened and you chuckled to yourself. “Okay, that’s fucking scary.”

Erik tilted his head, “Those aren’t your sisters or something?” You shook your head. “No, I’ve never seen those girls before. I mean we look alike with slight differences but yeah, I’ve never seen them before. Maybe you’re in some alternate universe.”

You smiled brightly and the men at the table nearly swooned once you did. You laughed softly and lightly tilted your head in disbelief. “Steve!” A woman’s voice yelled out behind you. You all turned around and when you and the woman locked eyes you were floored.

“Holy shit.” She murmured and you laughed. “Hey, Tre!” Another voice called out and all eyes went to her. Tre waved awkwardly as the woman made her way over. She spotted you and Steve’s girl and nearly jumped out of her skin.

“Oh my God.” She spoke and you all laughed. “Bucky, baby!” The last woman called out and everyone turned again.

She looked between you, Steve and Tre’s girl before chuckling incredulously. “This is fucking crazyyy.” You and your doppelgängers laughed, leaning on each other.

“We’re gonna need nametags,” Erik spoke up the men agreed.

“Definitely.”

Recommended fanfics!

Whoo, boy! I’ve only just recently joined ao3 with an official account...I’ve been reading as a guest for almost a year, and I don’t really have any saved, but I’ll try my best!

Idk what fandoms you’re into but I’m into Marvel, especially Spider-Man/ Irondad and Spiderson, so that’s what you’re getting now XD

ONTO THE RECS!!!

General Avengers Fic:

SHIELD High: Avengers AU: S.H.I.E.L.D. High is a place where those with special talents can hone their skills and make friends along the way. The Avengers are included in this student body and are frequently getting into trouble. Let's see if they can stay out of trouble just long enough to walk across the stage at the end of the year! Okay, so this first one is on fanfiction.net, and I’ve read it twice. It’s an Avengers high school au, and it’s the best one I’ve read. Most of the Avengers start out not knowing or not liking each other at first, but they all come together in the end, just like in the movie! There’s humor, mystery, romance- everything you need! It’s definitely not your typical high school au, and I love the mix of awkward teenager-ness and the mighty heroes we know. There’s no big baddie here- everyone’s just trying to graduate, and they have to pull some unorthodox moves to do it.

Spider-Man Fics:

arachnic decathlon: No one every really tells you what to do in the case of bus explosions, field trips, hostage situations, and identity reveals. Of course, the aftermath is ten times worse and, well, Peter just considers himself lucky that he doesn't have to figure that stuff out on his own. Okay so this is actually a series with two works, and it. is. amazing!! It’s a twist on the classic field trip trope where they never actually make it to Stark Industries- instead they get held hostage, and Peter has to reveal his identity to save his decathlon team. The second fic is all about the team coping with the trauma of their experience, and I love that the author wrote that!! I’ve read this one twice, too!

the L in Love stands for Loser: Another series rec! This is a series of 6 great Spideychelle fics about mutual pining, a first kiss, and what Michelle and Peter’s relationship looks like among the chaos of school and Spider-Man. There is no Endgame or Infinity war in this series! I’m really bad at explaining things, so here’s my favorite quote from the whole thing: “‘Peter,’ Michelle says without any decernable intonation. Oh no, this is bad. He's dead. “Do you remember what I said at lunch today?’ ‘Um, that you'd leave me for John Boyega in a hot second,’ he replies slowly. ‘Yes, and the other thing,’ she says. ‘That if I missed two decathlon meetings in a row you'd be very angry but ultimately forgive me,’ he offers. ‘Close,’ she replies. ‘Where are you? And if the answer is not on the way to the auditorium, maybe reconsider your answer.’ ‘Uh…’ A parked car gets thrown at his head and he swings away with seconds to spare. ‘Look, people are accusing me of favoritism,’ she says. ‘They're implying that I actually like you.’ ‘They might've gotten that impression from the fact that we made out for fifteen minutes at lunch on Monday,’ he offers.”

Miscommunications: Ever since Steve and Tony's spat (also known as the pissing contest that tore the Avengers apart) things have been a little strained. They all cope with it in their own ways. Rhodey tries not to have a heart attack every time Tony says something that causes him stress, Natasha and Tony eat Chinese food in Tony's workshop and don't talk about anything important, Clint ignores all the advice given to him by Neil-the-therapist, and Steve continues to choose his unstable, manic depressive friend over his other equally-unstable manic depressive friend. Enter, Peter Parker. (Who would've thought it would be miscommunications about Tony's non-biological kid that bring the team back together?) Okay, the first fic in this series is a great 5+1 fic where the Avengers are suspicious, Peter is an idiot cinnamon roll, and there is a surprise guest appearance of Nathaniel Clinasha, Vent Repair Man. It’s amazing and hilarious- the fourth chapter’s almost crack, but it’s not! The second fic is also fantastic, featuring MJ being a terrible therapist. There’s a healthy mix of hilariousness and seriousness (because being a superhero really messes with your mental health) and it’s a great read!!

research and disaster: There should have been nothing remarkable about two people in a busy cafeteria, but Becket takes in the familiar sight of curly hair, brown eyes, and a t-shirt with a science pun on it talking animatedly alongside Actual Anthony Edward Stark and promptly drops his lunch. He gapes for a solid second, seeing but not believing. It definitely doesn’t look like Mr. Stark is forcing the kid to leave, or firing him, or escorting him to security given the relaxed smiles on both of their faces. If anything, Becket thinks Mr. Stark looks rather proud. “So, uh, Mr. Stark definitely knows Roomba-Kid,” Becket says and discreetly tilts his head in the direction of the pair. “Oh my god,” Jess says. She almost sounds gleeful. “Oh my god, he’s not just some random kid. He’s Mr. Stark’s kid.” or: the interns at Stark Industries have some questions about Peter Parker. The answers aren’t quite what they expect. Okay, this fic is absolutely hilarious. It’s an outsider’s pov on Peter and Tony’s relationship, from the eyes of a Stark Industries intern, featuring singing roombas, unstickable sticky notes, and general confusion. Well worth a read! All of this author’s fics are great, actually- they wrote the academic decathlon fics and a few others that are worth checking out!

Okay there are so many great fanfics that I would love to rec...but unfortunately, I have absolutely none of them saved as I have been reading on incognito mode with no account, so these are just some I’ve thought of off the top of my head. I can definitely find more to recommend if anyone wants me to! Not just from this fandom, either, I’ve read fanfics for several others (Gravity Falls, PJO, Star Wars, others I can’t remember right now because it’s 2:34 am)

Thanks for the ask! This took a while, but I came across lots of good fics I had forgotten about and new ones I haven’t read while trying to find some to rec, so it’s a win-win! <3

Miraculous Young Justice- Help Please (C)(final)

Questions continued from B...

Okay, first off I gotta make it clear that this is NOT going to be a Marinette x Damien fic.

Sorry if that’s what you wanted here but it just doesn’t make sense for this original YJ team setup. So that leaves me with this GIANT variable:

8- Who should be Marinette’s main romance option for this fic?? —

(I don’t plan on it being Adrien cuz he’s gonna kind of “fall” in this story, end up helping his father to save his mother, but I promise it’ll be done in a way that isn’t OOC like a lot of other fics do ‘BAM he sucks now!’ So let me know if that’s cool or if that’ll make you boycott lol.)

— So the main romance options are Luka, Dick, Kagami and possible options are Felix, an original character, or just none at all.

-I’ll admit, Luka is the strongest contender/most likely, because he’s great, and it fits the story best.

-But i also wouldn’t say no to Kagami, cuz equal opportunity lol.

-Dick technically would be an easy fit for this fic, but idk would that be weird putting them together?? Or would it actually work well? I need your thoughts.

-Felix is a character in this fic, so he’s technically an option, but I’m leaning towards just leaving him as a side character with the other Quantic Kids.

-Then of course I could always create someone new but UGH work.

-And lastly I could always just do no romance, cuz Mari is a strong independent Ladybug who don’t need no significant other.

Buuut while Mari’s romantic life won’t be the driving force/focal point of this story (but rather mixed in along with action, mystery, etc) id still prefer to have it in there somehow cuz it’s fun and adds to the story.

—————————————————————-

9- Viperion & Ryuko involvement??— Since Chat has been less present, I’m leaning towards probs having Viperion and Ryuko helping Ladybug a lot lately. But when you add the YJ team, is that too many heroes?

Would it make the story more interesting if the YJ team arrives to find that Ladybug struggling mostly solo??

[[Plus, how to balance Luka/Kagami helping Marinette at school with the YJ team probs becoming Marinette Protection Squad, cuz that’s a lot of characters.]]

I’m pretty torn on all this, very back-and-forth on this one.

9-b/10?— Should Kagami attend the same Lycee as them all? — (If so, she’d probs be in Mendeleiev’s class.)

Or just not, but she’s still around pretty often? (fencing and other stuff)

FINALLY DONE!! Sorry, this post ended up way WAY longer than intended. I have too many thoughts.

But seriously, any and all responses would help me a ton! I’m super excited to write this story and share it with you all!

Also for those of you who really want an MLx Young Justice crossover fic but without all the salt or angst, no worries! I intend to do another YJ story in the future that will be way more fun and simple, of the Miracusquad teaming up with the YJ team to take down Hawkmoth & Light baddies. But for right now, this story has grabbed me and won’t let go.

Now tell me your thoughts!!

via Barb's Place Ms. Fix-it by Barb C Rating: G Setting: Post-The Gift Characters: Willow, Giles Synopsis: If Willow doesn't take care of things, who will? Author's notes: Written for the 2019 Which Willow Ficathon. This is a stand-alone, canon-compliant fic. (I.e. not part of the Barbverse.) Buffy Summers had been dead for exactly one week, three days, eighteen hours, and forty-two minutes. Not that Willow was counting. She didn't have to; the slow and steady energy drain of the spell she was using to keep the body from decaying while they all decided what to do was counter enough. The click-click=click of her heels on the pavement followed her around the corner as she turned off Wilkins and onto Maple, heading for the Magic Box. The sun's last rays painted the western sky a brilliant orange behind the roofline of the storefronts. The strap of the satchel she carried dug into her shoulder, and she concentrated on the small discomfort, willing it to drown out the whirring of her thoughts. Inside her head, Goody-Two-Shoes Rule-Following Willow kept pointing out that concealing Buffy's death was seriously dodgy, and could only cause more problems the longer they kept it up. Once the authorities did get involved, surely they wouldn't be happyif they found that Buffy Summers' friends had just... buried her in the back yard, well, in Miller's Woods, in a home-made coffin, without a permit or an autopsy or a death certificate, as if she were a pet goldfish or something. Buffy had died without a will, so would the house go to Dawn, or to Mr. Summers? Or to both? Would they have to go through probate? (What even was probate, anyway?) She was pretty sure that they couldn't afford a lawyer, if Mr. Summers wanted to fight for custody, and even if they could, what judge would let a minor stay with a couple of unrelated barely-out-of-minorhood hemselves women instead of her own father? And could they pay the mortgage? Would the bank foreclose? But Dawn didn't want to go live with her father, and no one could contact Hank Summers anyway. And there was also the hiding-the-Slayer's-demise-from-demonkind-because-the-replacement-Slayer-was-doing-ten-to-twentyness of the whole situation. What Willow really wanted to do was curl up somewhere and cry. But if she did that, nothing would get done at all. Dawn was a mess, Xander was obsessing over the planning of the aforementioned back-yard funeral, Anya was great at pointing out problems but not nearly as forthcoming with solutions, Spike was an alcoholic puddle on the crypt floor. Tara could offer emotional support, but not much else. And Giles, the actual certified grownup, was wandering blankly through the motions of, well, just about everything. So (argued Subversive Countrculture Hacker-cum-Superwitch Willow) obviously the only thing to do was fix up the Buffybot yet again, and pretend that Buffy Summers was alive and well. Not that that would really help much on the paying-the-mortgage front, unless they sent the Buffybot out to get a job, which at this point was looking like a better and better idea, but totally aside from all of that, the truth was, part of her simply wasn't able to bear the idea of sealing, stamping, or certifying that Buffy Summers was really most sincerely dead. The sign on the Magic Box door said "OPEN," but only a single light shone in the back of the store, illuminating the rare books section. Willow cupped her hands against the glass and peered through the blinds. She could see a dark figure hunched at the reading table. Was Giles just... sitting there, in the dark? Biting her lip, she pulled the door open. The jangle of the bell was loud in the nearly-deserted street. The hunched figure straightened. "Ah. Willow. I'm sorry. I wasn't expecting you." Giles stood, a slow, jerky unwinding, and came to meet her, a particularly musty volume tucked in the crook of one elbow. His deeply line face was unutterably weary. Not just tired, but lost. Not that Willow imagined she looked particularly chipper herself; it had been a rough couple of weeks. He crossed to the checkout counter, set the book down, and flicked on the switch for the front lights, flooding the store with brilliance. Well, relative brilliance. Willow caught a glimpse of The Rituals of Osiris on the cover, embossed in eye-twisting curlicues. Giles adjusted his glasses. "I beg your pardon. I was just doing some, er, inventorying. I've been composing my final report to the Council, and frankly, I needed a bit of a breather." He trailed off, and Willow gulped. Final report? She wasn't oblivious; Giles had been chafing at the bit to go back to England for years. Or was it champing at the bit? Whatever, Giles had been doing it. But always before there'd been something – someone – to tie him to Sunnydale a little longer. "No, no, I was wondering if Anya was around? For financial-type questioning and answering. I can come back tomorrow if it's a bad time." Were there any good times? "You - you're not already finished with the report, are you? Are you sure you included all the relevant details? The monks, the Knights, the minions? Whatever was up with Ben? There was an awful lot going on." Giles replaced his glasses. "It's quite comprehensive, I assure you." He busied himself behind the counter, doing something mysterious with receipts. "I'll submit it as soon as we determine how to best... handle the details of Buffy's passing. Once that's done, I'd expect to hear back from Travers very shortly with my new assignment." Apprehension blossomed into panic. Giles couldn't leave. Not now. Everything was changing, falling apart, and she couldn't move fast enough, hold on hard enough, to keep the shards together. I have to fix this, I have to fix this, I have to fix this. "You can't leave," Willow blurted. "I mean, no matter what we do, the Hellmouth is still going to be here, being all hellish and mouthy, and if we're trying to convince the demony types that Buffy's still around – " she unslung her satchel and plunked it down on the counter top, rubbing her aching shoulder. "Shouldn't her Watcher be around too? For verisimilitude?" Giles straightened, sighed, ran a hand over his face. "Willow... we've had this conversation before." "No. No, no, we haven't." She waved her hands in agitation. "Not this one. We had a similar-yet-different, almost but not quite totally unrelated conversation! Last time you wanted to leave because you thought Buffy didn't need you around, and now – " "Buffy is no longer around to need me," Giles finished. "But that's exactly why you have to stay!" Willow pulled a sheaf of printouts from the satchel and fanned them out across the counter – schematics, wiring diagrams, reams of C++. "Buffy's gone. I've got to the get the Bot repaired if we're going to have a hope in heck of fooling Social Services, but that's a walk of the cake variety compared to getting it to fight demons on the regular, and it's – " His expression wasn't softening. Giles had serious leaving-on -a-jet-plane face. Think, think, think – what had snapped him out of it the last time he'd wanted to leave? Buffy, of course. Buffy telling him that she still needed him. But Buffy was gone. (Did it make it better or worse, saying 'gone' instead of 'dead?') Buffy couldn't need him anymore. Except, except... inspiration struck. "Giles, it's not going well. The demon-fighting of the Bot, I mean. I was hoping you could help." "Er." Giles regarded the stack of printouts with an expression of faint alarm. "I'm afraid that my expertise doesn't extend to chipsets. And what do you mean, it's not going well? The robot was quite successful against Glory." "Not that kind of help. And that's because we were basically just using her as a distraction." She leaned across the counter, voice dropping to a confidential whisper, as if the Buffybot were listening in and might get its feelings hurt. "The problem is, the Bot's strong, but she's not very tough. She's actually pretty fragile – all those delicate gears and servos and circuits. She wasn't engineered for heavy-duty demon fighting. She's got all this fighty-kicky programming based on Buffy's combat style, but when she's actually fighting a demon, if it gets its hands... claws... appendages on her, a lot of the time it can just rip her apart. That's fine if we just bring her out once a year to fight some major baddie, but if she's going to be patrolling every night? She can't heal by herself, and we have limited supplies for repairs, and..." she threw up her hands. The glasses were getting a thorough polishing again. "That's unfortunate, but I'm not seeing how I can be of assistance. I'm neither an engineer nor a programmer, Willow." You're not getting away that easily, mister. "You don't have to be! What she needs is a teacher. That's the beauty of it. She's got learning routines. I don't want to think about whatever it was Spike wanted her to learn, but she can incorporate new options into her decision trees. Someone needs to show her a different kind of fighting style, one that minimizes her chances of getting grappled. And there's nobody who can do that better than you can." Giles was wavering, she could see it. Maybe Fake Buffy was better than no Buffy. She stared up at him, beseeching, willing him to say Yes, yes, Willow, I'll stay, I'll help you. Finally, his shoulders slumped in defeat. "Very well. I'll make the attempt, at any rate. But as soon as the robot is capable of protecting herself adequately, I really must – " "Oh, Giles, thank you!" Willow flung herself across the counter to give him an impulsive hug, scattering the printouts and knocking the book to the floor. She let him go with a squeak if alarm and dove after them. Giles knelt to help her pick the papers up, and she stuffed everything back into the satchel willy-nilly. "This will work, I'm sure of it! She's almost ready for a trial run – I'll call you as soon as she's ready! Oh! And I'll come back tomorrow morning to talk to Anya." She couldn't exactly say her heart was lighter as she left the store, but at least one piece of her shattered world was glued back into place, however temporarily. Surely Giles would realize after awhile, that staying was the right thing. Willow hurried along the darkening streets towards Buffy's house, where Dawn and Tara would be waiting. Tomorrow... well, maybe tomorrow Anya would have some ideas for what to do about the money, and the legal questions, and... Willow groaned. There was so much still to do, so many things she had to make right – because who else would do it? It was all too much. Even with the Bot... everything would be so much easier if only... If only Buffy wasn't... She shivered, though the late spring evening wasn't cold, not at all. Buffy was gone. Buffy was dead. And there was nothing she could do to make that right. Her eyes stung. She wiped them defiantly, then ran a thumb under the satchel strap. Her heart might be ligher(ish), but the satchel definitely seemed to be heavier. She opened the flap, peered inside. What on earth...oh. Drat. She'd stuffed Giles' spellbook in there by accident. She should return it. But she was almost back to Revello Drive, and she was going back to the Magic Box tomorrow to see Anya anyway... she'd keep it just for tonight. Maybe read a few chapters. She'd been wanting to brush up on her Egyptian rituals anyway. Maybe it would distract her from her problems, if only for a little while. What could it hurt? End comments

The Untamed liveblog, eps. 33-38

Didn’t post a liveblog yesterday to avoid possible spoilers in the replies, so here it is now.

Before I proceed, here are my guesses as to the identity of the mysterious flute player: 1) Guangyao, the most obvious candidate 2) Xue Yang 3) idk, a new character 4) Guangyao is a red herring. The real villain is Nie Huaisang because that's funny

Relieved that WWX experienced the 16 years too. I was afraid he was regained consiousness straight from the moment of his "death" of whatever it was, so LWJ would be 16 years older with him which would have made the romance VERY awkward.

The room scene is beautiful, but one thing I particularly appreciate about it is that finally, probably for the first time in the show, these two are allowed time alone together in safety and relative privacy, and the scene can organically develop into a tender private moment that isn't for the camera to see or show.

"I must not reveal my identity" says WWX, who is dressed almost exactly like 16 years ago

Oh god I still can't tell apart the two young Lan disciples.

Switched to the subtitles from Viki. Unfortunately, they need to be resynced manually every time, and that, for some reason, messes up the file's internal subtitles. Ah well, I don't know Chinese anyway, and now the English subtitles actually say accurately what the characters call each other.

Feeling both represented by WWX's dog phobia and offended that it's a running joke

Oh "cool", another casual mention of supposedly likeable characters brutally beating their children :/

god, JC is really shitty at leading/parenting. "I'll break your leg", really?

"With my uncle's character, he would rather catch the wrong one than let the right one go." And execute the wrong one? Yikes

Wait, are you telling me NHS is a baddie for real lfmao

Aw, the fan scene is cute

Oh, so the first time we see Guangyao again is in a flashback about the mysterious death of the clan Nie leader. How convenient.

Stop! Making! Flasbacks! To the fucking Nonconsensual Alcohol scene! I am trying to ignore its existence! Why did you have to tarnish the current scene, very endearing by itself, with its presence?

Gasped IRL when Wen Ning's silhouette appeared. Good job writers!

Ouch, that looks painful

Oh, so the siblings weren't killed? That makes sense, if you pretend to spread their ashes on the wind, you don't need to show the bodies. Hopefully Qing survived too, but I wouldn’t expect much towards a female character from this series... Killed off the only two women, now we’re in No Woman’s Land comfortably and forever I presume

And here I thought WWX was actually going to apologize to Ning for treating him like a thing or a slave, now that he unexpectedly has a new opportunity to do so!

I'm assuming the chicken are a wedding gift joke?

WWX got so disctracted by the drunk LWJ he completely forgot about Ning smh

Maybe now it finally occurs to WWX to ask about his son...

Loving every look at how the common people interpret and interact with the epic history he participated in

I want to meet more of the recurring characters, but on the other hand: ghost town and WWX leading a field trip for a bunch of teenagers!

This show is too multi-faceted. I'm constantly going "This is my favorite part of the show: the sweet romance. No, this is my favorite: the ghosts and WWX being a cool necromancer. No, this is my favorite: the family drama. No, this is my favorite: clan politics. No, this is my favorite: WWX with kids." and it just keeps going in circles.

Aww, the kid thinking WWX is like LWJ because they're both competent leaders who make others feel safe*

And now it's an action movie where the hero and the villain exchange a whole spiral of "No, I outsmarted you first" and drop one-liners every minute. Hilarious

The kids watching two zombies punch each other through a window like a football match on TV, I'm crying

Kids: "Don't you think Light Bearing Lord is good?" WWX internally, with a dreamy smile on his face: "Haha what they're asking ME if I think the love of my life is 'good'? How would it even be possible to less than utterly admire someone who is so graceful, skillful, protective, just, kind, beautiful... Oh wait are they still waiting for an answer"

* Added after the episode: If this kid is actually Yuan and he feels this way because they're both his dads I'm gonna scream I WENT BACK TO EPISODE 1 AND THE SUBTITLE SAYS 'LAN YUAN'. TIME TO SCREAM I GUESS. I KNEW THIS NAME COMBINATION SOUNDED FAMILIAR Did LJW get beaten for bringing him in, then? Did he spend the first three years raising him? I checked the subtitles and the name Yuan is written with different characters but that's probably fine? I doubt LWJ ever asked WWX how his son's name was written, or even if he knew, he could have wanted to protect the kid's identity - he's Lan and not Wen, after all If this is true then WWX has the funniest and most valid excuse for being an absent father. Sorry I missed your entire childhood and adolescence, kid, I was literally dead the whole time But also, if this is true, why didn't LWJ bring it up immediately DAMMIT I WAS PLANNING TO GO TO BED AND NOW I WANT TO SEE THE FAMILY REUNION ASAP God, in the light of this, the silence spell scene in ep 2 becomes even funnier. The more I know about these characters, the better it becomes. LWJ's silent stare at JC, apparently, meant "Look how well I raised WWX's son. Must I also raise his nephew, since you are clearly unfit for the job?" Involving kids, especially other people's, in your powerplays is shitty, but the scene is fucking hilarious. Anyways if this ends up being a giant coincidence and the kid is given so much focus for no or some other reason you're NOT allowed to laugh at this paragraph

God, this feels like... idk any Celebrimbor/Annatar fanfic lmao. I'm in pain. Let me guess, people write very painful fics about these two right. Fuck. I'm 21 minutes in, is this going to last the entire episode aaaaaaa

Fuck. Well how am I supposed to sleep after this. This episode didn't even make me cry once, it's not that type of bad thing. And not the type where something is so brutal I shield my mind because I prefer to pretend that level of pain can't exist. It's just diabolically designed to be maximally fucked up.

Dean and Sam’s relationship over the years: why Sam is not Mr Nice Guy and the show should not shy away from this.

Regarding how Sam is dealing with Dean and Michael and that scene in episode 14x12.

How many times have we seen this? Sam will push either with anger, or with passive aggressive guilt tripping, or controlling demands (in a soft voice though because he’s Nice Guy TM) and even violence, and Dean (who is often just so tired) more and more often (especially recently) relents.

This seems to be a constant in the brother’s relationship, and yet once again I see praise for Sam, Sam the reasonable one! Sam setting Dean straight!! Why does this fandom insist on only reading the misleading label that Sam is the “wise” and “reasonable” brother when this is clearly not true? Sam is not the cinnamon roll this fandom likes to believe, he’s not the Awesome!Sam in Destiel fan fics, he’s a flawed man same as everyone else and deserves to be called out as much as anyone else by this fandom, and especially by the show itself.

And Sam would be all the better and more interesting character if everyone just accepted that.

In general, several times now, Dean has expressed when he’s (rightfully) not happy about something, only to have those feelings overruled by Sam and he just ends up having to toe the line so to speak. Remember in s12 with the BMOL, Sam openly promised Ketch and co that he’d make Dean see their (Sam and the BMOL’s) way. After Dean returned from Hell in s4 Sam decided to take charge because he thought Dean was “too weak”, so Dean ended up having to work with Ruby, despite openly (and rightfully) not trusting her....and only last season Sam refused to take Dean’s feelings about Jack seriously, so Dean was forced to baby Jack who he massively distrusted (again for good reason although Jack has writers protection from becoming a baddie because he’s a bland white male with conventional good looks who’ll never be killed off sadly but that’s a whole other issue).

Sam has always tried to assert control since forever (in the very first episode of s1 Sam tries to wrestle the mouse from Dean while they’re researching) but it’s easier for Sam when Dean is vulnerable, when he’s going through some heavy stuff be it his Hell PTSD or The Darkness. It’s like an opening for Sam to “take over!”.

So much conflict between Dean and Sam over the years has come from some kind of power struggle between the two of them. Sam trying to take the wheel by force (again using clever words and the Nice Guy TM voice to appear “reasonable”) and Dean, who was raised by John with one purpose in mind and that was to look after Sam, reluctant to let go (although in more recent times I suspect it’s more Dean (rightfully) not trusting Sam with the wheel because he knows what will happen). I think we all agree that the responsibility that John piled on Dean was a massive burden that’s shaped him in a bad way, for himself but also for others and yes it needs to be lifted, and I love protective!Sam as much as the next fan, but notice how whenever the roles are reversed and Dean needs saving, Sam’s idea of support is more the policing of Dean’s feelings and actions, instead of being there on the side to prop Dean up, Sam just takes over completely and dictates their actions.

I also can’t help notice that whenever Dean is in trouble Sam is literally chomping at the bit, and I always get the impression its not just desperation to save his brother.

Remember Mystery Spot in s3 and Dean’s “Sammy, I get all tingly when you take control like that”. It’s a joke, but it also invites us to look at how Sam is quite domineering when he wants to be.

Remember the flashbacks of what Sam was up to while Dean was in Hell? Sam was scary, and pretty much confirmed as a control-freak. He was also very John like.

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

When it comes to any kind of conflict in general it’s amazing how many times Dean is the one that backs down, or worse apologises even when he’s not at fault to begin with (will never be over Fallen Idols in s5). I would honestly love to have an accurate list of all the times Dean and Sam apologise to each other, I bet it would be something like 80% Dean to 20% Sam.

How many times has Dean had to placate Sam? Back down and relent? Keep Sam happy? Let Sam have his way? Even if it means Dean hurting himself, and others...Benny being one of the biggest casualties and it still amazes me that the narrative framed it to make it look like Sam was in the right all along even though he set up a witch hunt against Benny, who had saved Dean’s life and deserved to be thanked. Dean was the one who had to apologise to Sam! For befriending someone who saved his life!!

Even as an adult and the so called “Chief”, deep down Sam is always going to be the little brother with the “puppy dog eyes” (which are actually pretty manipulative) who is used to Dean putting him first.

Add this to Sam’s controlling nature that he inherited from John, and then have both play a massive part when it comes the conflict between the brothers, you end up with a serious lack of balance in Sam’s favour.

At least in 14x12 Dean was able to tell Sam that he will have to let him go eventually, that is something.

In this scene Sam is like a child, especially in the beginning of the scene when he’s pissy, making passive aggressive remarks like a sullen teenager. He’s also drunk so its heightened.

The whole scene felt like an exchange between an angry child and their parent.

Sam’s speech (the one applauded by so many by the fanon!Sam fans) is very similar to the others he’s made when Dean is at his lowest...Sam wanting him to come back, to keep fighting, to not give up, from the Point Of No Return in s5 to Demon Dean in s10...all very emotional and heart felt, but it’s also always about how much Sam needs him, needs his big brother/parent to be there for him. It’s never really about what Dean wants, or what is good for Dean, or even the world Dean is trying to save, it’s about Sam’s need for Dean to be his support system, inadvertently reminding Dean of the responsibility that John burdened him with.

Whenever Dean is troubled, you’d think Sam would put Dean first for a change, but instead even then it’s still about Dean having to accept whatever Sam will do, accepting Sam’s terms and conditions, it’s still about allowing Sam to have what he wants. Meanwhile Dean’s ideas for saving himself or others are dismissed.

Basically, Sam makes everything about himself, even when it’s not.

Remember when Jensen said Sam lived in a Sam-centric world?

It’s also worth noting that Dean has been down this road before with Sam (s4, s10, s11) he knows what Sam is like and would do. Maybe Dean gives in to Sam now because when Dean refuses to comply, Sam will just go behind his back (Ruby, the BOTD, the BMOL) and that has been proven to be far worse. That always leads to bad things.

When Sam is allowed to essentially take over, and tries to “save” Dean, it can sometimes involve extreme and dangerous methods. Like I said above, I love protective!Sam but again he is a scary guy. Dark!Sam is not just demonblood!Sam. Remember when Sam wanted Dean to become a zombie to save him from the Hell Hounds in s13? Or when Sam made an immoral choice to get to Demon Dean resulting in the death of a civilian? Then ignored all the warnings and used the BOTD to remove the Mark of Cain therefore releasing the Darkness?

Or maybe Dean is just very, very tired.

Sidenote: this whole scene is bollocks really, because how is any of this any different to Dean agreeing to sacrifice himself by being the bomb to kill Amara? Back then both Sam and Cas were unhappy but they let Dean go! Why are they forcing Dean to stop sacrificing himself now when the danger is just as real? Are the writers saying that the only reason Sam (and Cas) allowed Dean to be the bomb was not because of personal growth but because of time constraints, the danger was more immediate, it was now or never, and that if they’d had days to deliberate over the plan then Sam (and Cas) would have used force (emotional or physical) to stop him? Like they did in Point Of No Return, like they are now?

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

Anyway, in conclusion it’s funny how so many fans think Dean is a controlling brother, when so much of what has happened over the years has been dictated by Sam against Dean’s wishes, despite Dean’s warnings (would any of this be happening right now if back in s11 Sam had listened to Dean instead of Lucifer pretending to be God) either because Sam’s feelings always have to come first or when he’s given the slightest bit of leeway he takes over, which has increased more and more over the last 4-5 seasons, as mentioned before largely because Dean has had his own external issues to deal with like the Mark of Cain, Demonhood, Amara and now Michael.

Sidenote: Yes these are all from Dean’s own flawed decision making I acknowledge that because I am not ever going to say Dean is some perfect person. Dean is messy and I love him, I’m not like some Sam fans, or as I call them “fanon!Sam fans” but I am talking about the real Sam here because someone has to!

And now apparently we have “leader!Sam” who the AU hunters like to call Chief, and yeah no one can convince me that deep down he’s not pleased, finally he has the authority he has always craved. This concerns me because it’s always been Sam’s main arc - the need for control that became twisted leading to his power tripping in s4, his hubris dragged him down in s4 and s5, also s11 to a degree (he really thought he could overcome Lucifer and that God was talking to him because he’s that special). They say the best leaders are the ones who don’t want to lead, and that isn’t Sam. Plus, a good leader thinks of others above all else, and again that isn’t Sam.

And this arc isn’t just because Sam spent his entire life with a brother that put him first, creating a sense of entitlement far beyond the normal average younger sibling, neither is his need for control just a reaction to John’s domineering drill sergeant major style parenting, or his forced role in a cosmic game.

Dean has mentioned a couple of times that Sam is actually a lot like John, when we saw in the flashbacks how Sam dealt with Dean’s death and trip to Hell in s4, we were invited to compare him with John’s way of dealing with Mary’s death.

Sam is a confirmed control-freak, just like John. They are two people who clashed because they are so alike, both equally stubborn. Sam could not wait to grow up so he could show everyone (ie John) how much better and smarter he was.

Think about all the times Sam questioned John, demanded to be in on the plan - why was that? Was it youthful rebellion, need for more collaboration and mutual respect, or because Sam always resented not being the decision maker himself, the leader, the one in charge?

Then, as Sam grew up he became just as controlling as John, although because he’s “better and smarter” than John, he uses his college educated mind and Nice Guy TM voice under the guise of being “reasonable”. Only when the situation becomes dire or when he was emotionally compromised, does he become just as scary as his father.

All of which would be interesting to watch, but because the writers refuse to commit to Sam having any kind of real darkness or even flaws (at least since early s5) and keep back tracking every time there’s any kind of hint, white washing every dark path Sam walks on and forcing the narrative to take his side, instead it becomes incredibly frustrating and makes me dislike Sam. Unlike Dean, Sam is never allowed to own his flaws, he never has any lessons to learn.

If Sam fans want to have their favourite be some boring vanilla hero then all fool them because that’s boring, but what I cannot stand is hypocrisy and Sam is always the one doing the preaching these days, even when he has no right to!

Sam just keeps being treated, by the writers and the fandom, as the “superior” brother even though he is as messy as Dean.

Remember that scene when Chuck (God?) questioned Sam’s choices in s4, calling him out? How come we never have scenes like that anymore?

It just comes across as blatant favouritism towards Sam in the writers room.

And this is why I miss the really early seasons of Supernatural, because up to Fallen Idols in s5 Sam was still a likeable character, and up until the end of s7 Sam was at least watchable. Now he is (to me at least) ruined.
